Is this in harmony with the Con- stitution of the United States, that declares that no State shall pass any law that will interfere wita the free- dom of the churches Is it not a plain violation of this act of the United States’ Constitu- tion ~ Can it be truthfully said that this act of the Legislature, does not in- terfere with and circumscribe the freedom of the churches? Has not the church a right to adopt its own methods of raising the means for supporting their work along so long as the methods of doing so is legit-| imate and right? Is not serving meals to her mem- bers, and the general public, legiti- mate and right? And does not the courts of the state interfere witatne freedom of the churches when they attempt to compel the churches to take out license for this privilece? Now in the first place, the churches are public institutions; the mission of which is to labor for the public's good, and since this is so, has it not a right to solicit and even expect the public that enjoys its beneficence to contmbute in any decent manner to its support? Is §t morally right for the churches to have to secure li- cense in order to obtain help from the public in raising means to carry on this work for the good of all the people of this community and the word? | More than this, the churches are Divine Institutions governed, regulat- ed and controled by the law of God, and {s separate from the state and they are exalted above the State, and National Government of human or- fgin, because, they furnish the basle principles for all Civil Govern- ment, and is it right for any legisla- tive body to frame any Jaw, rule or regulation, that will have a tendency to subordinate these divine institu« tions to the low level of any worldly business of any class or kind all of which are operated as a profiteering enterprise of a selfish nature end not for the public uplift. But once more, the churches are Educational Institutions, The mis- sion of which is to seek the lost; lift up the fallen and give to the world the kind of moral and religious train- ing, that purify and exalt the social fabric of the community; 60 as to re- duce crime, promote happiness and make the home and the community a more desirable place in which to live, Iam a true and tried Republi- can of the deepest dye, but how can a body of men, after having condes- vended to thus enact a law of this nature against the churches of Christ and the Christlan world, come back and ask the Christian people to re- turn them to the legislature and thus to intrust them with the further man. agement of the state Jaw making In- stitution?

Thus, In Virginia the passage of the ‘rave purity’ bill ‘4s one eign of this acute tension. And in Chattanooga, Tenncssee, plans were under way for the passage of a “zoning law,! whose obvious inten- tion was to segregate colored people from vhute in residence d stricts.

ADAMS (The Literary Commercial Bureau) (Preston News Service) Moral Courace | Few elements ars more necessary than moral courage, and few ar | mere deplorable than moral coward- lee, It requires moral courage to es- Fourtu and advocate an unpopular cause; to rpeak in tha interest of the tight when that means pecuniary loss, of frienzs and perhaps loss of life; to stand for a principle when its defenders are a helpless minority; to resist tae temptation toward vin- | dictiveness when we are caused to | suffer persecutions and calumny; but it pays to be courageous and stand | by oncs* conviction, | Moral courage will bring its own reward in cumulative strength, ap- proval of conscience, and the genesis and development of irresistible influ- ence for good. But moral coward- ke the anttithesis of moral courage will resutt in dwarfed and deadcned conscience, the crucifixion of the higher nature, paul regret and {naliy, agoniz.ng and coasumung re- morse, By way of illustration it would be ie to contrast the cowardue of eter, the disctples who, “followed afar olf," and of ‘Thomas the timid eceptic with the intrepld courage of the ayostle l'aul, who stood before rulers great and amall, defended the docuriac wWhuh he had espoused and courageously went even to his death tor the truth, Perhaps the most shameful caseaf moral cowardice was taat of Pontius Pilate, Procurator of Judea, who de- clared of Jesus, “I find no fault in the man,” and yet, thru fear of los- ing his position crucified the inno- cent Nazarine, The Sense of Value One of the most indisputable evi dences of the moral decadence of ta age is the loss o” tre sense of value which is in evidence every- where. In literature, the light and frivolous make the stronger appeal —in music it is 80; in the selection of associates, by young pcople, prefer- ence is given to giggling girls and light-headed boys, and their elders show litle more sense—if any, As to dress, utility has long been sacrifiied on the altar of show, the selections being made with reference to appearance, to things which pro- voke comment and win comphmenty rather than those which conserve strength, preserve health and con- tribute to longevity. Regarding literary and musical programa the light numbers receive greater applause and provoke more encores than the serioug and helpful ones, and for the most part Jazz dis« credits and supplants classical music while comics tower over things worth while, Applying it to character the con- ditions might be summed up thus: | truth, Integrity, confidence, love, loy- alty to principle and such sterling Mungs a8 make Up mora: characte! und enr.ch.n life no longer are pre: eminent in the estimation of men— and espcaally ts true of the younger people of tais rapid, rechktas gener: ation, If our civilization iz to be preserv- ed, if it is not to “perish from the curth,” there must be a restoration of the sense of value; the people must be Lreught to diifereatiate be- tween things which are inconsequen- tial and those which are fundamcn.ual iimpurt and influcnee, Tost Cunfidence, The lost confidence may be that of a wife in her husband or a husband in his wife. It may be the loss of confidence of a child in its parents or a parent in his child. Again, it might concern itself with the rela- tionship between friends when one has betrayed and lost the confidence in the other. But in every cage loss of confidence is deplorable. Octen, cunfidence is lost by delib- erate dcveption, icpeated, lyihg, glaring inconsistencies, foolish indis- eretions which arouse suspicion, manifest wealness in resisting detri- mental inflences—uand there are many other causes from waich this deplor- able condition results, Perhaps it is saying too much to asseit that confidence once lost can never be regained, but the cases in which confidence is regained are the exceptions rather than the rule. Granting such as possibility it will require sears of constant fidelity, the utmost fiankniss and sincerity and the most scrupulous straight- forwardness, ‘shcoe conclusions are reasonable in the light vc the fact that there wal be requircd’ time to produce convic- tion of mistakes in conclusions reached, to develop faita in tne gen- uinenesa of repentance and in the possession of the required strength live down the past and resist old habits formed. And, even where there is restoration the case always will be a delicate one; the founda- tion will be weak; and it will require but a “little slp” to destroy the su- perstructure. Yes, lost confidence may be re- stored; we must admit the possibil- ity; still we stand face to face with the truth that no broken thing has ever been made as strong as it was before it was broken! In rare cases it doubtless has been been done, but, as a rule we had almost as well chisel on the tomb-stone cf buried confi- dence the inscription—There shal! be no resurrection, Her “Big Brother.” A little girl was walking down the street holding the arm of her broth- er who was but a few years her sen- jor, Mer general demeanor indicat- ed confidence—security, The hittle girl seemed to say, “I am with my big brother, and I am not afraid.” This “big brother” was not really big; he was but a hittle bigger than hus hittle sister; but, in her sight and her estimation be was big, he was her hero, her protector and defender; ard all thfs one could read in her face as she went skipping along down the street.

RACE TALENT Wednesday afternoon, several of our best talents appcared before tae Missionary Society of the Firat Pres- byterian Church, 625 N, Lawrence St. and proved themselves worthy. Mrs, Jas, L. Hicks spoke on “Schools of the South;” Mrs. N, B, Copeland rendercd a group of Negro Spirituals with Mra, G. L. Scott, accompaning. Capt. W. L, Hutcherson dehvered the address in a most pleasing and helpful manner, We can make tides of prejudice stand back if we build the walle of Christianity so high that it cannot pass, by doing a full duty hen we are called. How will it be in after years? When he is grown up, when he is really big, when he is what he seems to be to his little sister, will he assist her, protect her, defend her, and will she, then, be ablo to hold him, lean on him and feel secure, as she does now This little girl had dreams, wonder- ful dreams of which this little “big brother” is the center, She had dreams of him grown up to be a man, strong of body and mind, brillant in achievement, worthy of her love and confidence. This little girl was a Negro girl, and I thought of the shameful indif- ference of Negro brothers to the wel- fare of thelr sisters; how they lavish on other women and neglect their own sisters; and I prayed that this little girl might be spared the sad experience of many neglected sisters —hoped und prayed that he mightbs fan honest-to-goodness “Big Brother.” ea ee gS eg * a re | , Cae: om ae Soe va , x ids : J ¢ 5 — os eae” ‘ ex a a: DR.

APRIL 20th will be test day for the citizens of our city, whether we shall have a Municipal College? This is a rapid growing city and we are voting yearly many things for the welfare of its citizenry, such as Bridges, High and Graded School, Payments, etc. There is a danger of overloading ourselves with taxes so our property will be a burden rather than a blessing, unless wages stny up commensurate with the financial obligations. It will be well to ascertain whether the same faculty will be retained; whether the same policy will be maintained as to equal privileges to all races and what redress will a person or race have if he, or race finds the privileges have been denied. In fact, it is not fair to pay for privileges that you will not be able to enjoy. There have been some School" that was not thought of and grievances at the "Million Dollar High we are certain, not expressed during the campaign; there was but one thought and that was for a great institution supported by taxes of the women for future usefulness. Many unpleasant things have since been injected to show the prejudice was on the throne and over-balancing reasoning. We believe that any institution supported by tares of the people, should be fair and just, and if it is in the lifting business, all should be lifted. We are aware of the fact that it will be an asset by bringing more people to the city, who would be seeking knowledge and would be an advantage if it means freedom and promotes an educational program where all will be benefitted. It is also a puzzle whether the same faculty could put over a free-to-all program under a city management, when it could not put over this kind of program under a Christian management. If God can't make us do right, "there is not much chance for the best" when we fall into the hands of man's management. We thought we might drop these few thoughts that you might think on your way and vote according to your findings and conclusions. THE world is filled with people who would rather "rule in hell than serve in heaven." The mind of Jesus does not exist in them. They never suffer it to be, to fulfill any righteousness. This way may make it for you temporarily, but the Jesus way will make it through eternity. WILL you spend a little extra time this week, cleaning up, hauling away old rubbish, painting and renovating things around your home that you might live long and help others live long? We can make Wichita stand out prominent if all regard this health week and seek to make things healthy around us. Society is counting on you to do your part. *__*__* ANOTHER member has been added to the editing staff—To the home of Mr. W, S.

Miss Theressle Haywood. Coffeyville Notes. CARVAK BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. S. A. Williams, Pastor. (Continued from page one) Ida Harris. Mrs. Dora Morrison and Mrs. Hattie Thompson spent Easter in Bartlesville, guest of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Morrison. Visitors at Calvary, Sunday were Mrs. D. Brown, daugaters, Latie and Gracie, and noice, Clara Brown of Bartlesville, Mr. Bell of Nowata, and Mrs. Ida Mac Grant of the city. Services at Calvary, Sunday, was indeed glorious. 6:30 Sunrise prayer meeting was phenomenon; we cannot describe this meeting and truly Calvary made a joyful noise unto God. Think of 110 persons present at 5 o'clock services, and the Spirit of God present, demonstrating in the souls of many on that great memorable morning of the resurrection of our Saviour. We are realizing thru this channel of service, a revived church as never before and are able to see our prayers answered. Sisters Cora Goodow, Irene Morris, Leona Gunters led services. Old and young were there; 3 backsliders and 2 sinners came forward for prayer; one was reclaimed. Sister Josie Bradford, leader. 9:45 S. S. was opened by Supt. All teachers present; good attendance, splendid lesson. Banner class, Loyal Fellows; Beaulah Thompson, teacher. 11 o'clock services another spiritual feast for the soul. Pastor Williams with the spirit upon him delivered a soul-stirring message, taken from Cor. 15:55: "O Death, where is thy sting, O Grave where is thy victory?" Subject: "Power To Sting—The Power to Hold." Say the death and resurrection of Chist is a mystery and will always remain so and something surrounds the crucifixion that are magnificent, phenomenon, and marvelous. Something preceded the crucifixion that was marvelous and wonderful; Christ on the cross was amazing to the world and the pictures portrayed of the death an resurrection by the preacher, shall long be remembered. Jesus rose conquering King, all power in His hand, taking the sting out of death, and from the grave the power to hold. Everything hinged on Jesus getting up from the grave. All Heaven was jubilant. The judgement and our resurrection was vividly painted. At 3 o'clock a splendid program was rendered by the Gleaner Classes Every number well worth hearing; Mrs. Hettle Roberts, Mrs. Stella Hunigan and Maud Winfrey, teachers The Junior Choir furnished excellent singing. Mrs. Corene B. Shepard, Directress. 6:30 B. Y. P. U., Bro. Roberts, Pres. No clock, 1st assistant Pastor, Rev. J. A. Dodd, delivered with power, a great sermon. It was instructive, pointed and helpful, taken from Job 3:255 "For the thing which I feared come upon me and that which I was afraid it has come unto me." Text: "Bogles." Saying Bogles are any creature of the mind, causing fear. Thoughts which are indeed things. The bogie of God, Heaven service prayer, misfortune, trials and tribulations, were well treated and cautioned us to shake off all fear for where there is fear there is failure. As we sow thoughts, so shall we reap them as a man thinketh, so is he. Job was the example the speaker gave us God's own devout servant but man wrought to grief because of fear. Christ often cautioned the fear not; ask God that we may overcome all fear. Salina, Kansas News. ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. M. T. Waters, Pastor. 9:45 a.m. Sunday School was opened by Supt.
