Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.19, No.7 MANLINESS UNDER RACE PREJUDICE Rev. A. L. Scott in Southwestern Christian Advocate: The first duty of the genuine man, to my mind, is not to whine; but to ACT. One subtle harm that prejudice may do is to create a chronic sense of wrong which gives rise to an exaggerated, morbid sensitiveness The victim of prejudice, if he be a weakling, is too apt to ascribe every inconvenience and every failure to that source; to become thin-skinned and defiant; to lose his clear, unbiased judgement; to fall a victim to the mania of persecution. He minimizes the abundant good will that surrounds him on all hands; he becomes a sorehead, plagued with suspicious harborings and complaints, whose injured vanity and smarting wounds obstruct his usefulness by crowding out every other consideration. To brood over one's wrongs is to fall into one of the worst mental diseases, a disease which does more than simply put an ashen pall over God's fair sky, but harms us most by making us pity ourselves, and robs us of two of the greatest things in the world, namely, the capacity to love mankind and the joy of service. Let us not permit the consciousness of prejudice to blur our sight and envenom our hearts; let us fight with ourselves to preserve our moral balance, our sense of proportion, our objective, unbiased judgment, our whole some instincts of fellowship. Do not allow the little cloud on the sunlit horizon to be magnified by the jaundiced eyes of fear and sensitiveness until to the morbid fancy it overcasts the sky and eclipses the sunlight. KANSAS BAPTIST CALLED TO DUTY Baptist Brotherhood, State of Kansas. Greetings' "I must work the works of Him that sent me." Dear Brethren: The interest of the Baptist of the United States of America is now in the balance to be weighed. At the weighing we Kansas Baptists must ree to it that in as muchas we are responsible, she will not be found wanting. State by State over the nation is doing its bit to comply with the request of the executive board at Nashville, in raising the $500,000 wanted by the annual meeting at Fort Worth, Texas. Kasnas, in keeping with her past record, cannot afford to do otherwise than raise $50,000 of this money. The method of raising the money is to my way of thinking, very practical. Each church is asked to raise the amount of money corresponding with 50% of its membership; that is to say, for example; Jerusalism Baptist church has ten members; that church is asked to pay $5; St. James church has 1,000 members, that church is asked to pay $500, which is 50% of its membership. What church is there that could not pay that amount? Where can that member of a Baptist church be found whose heart does not swell with religious pride for the accomplishment of the denomination at Nashville in the erection of the great publishing house that would not willingly contribute fifty cents toward the liquidation of that indebtedness? Such a member cannot be found in Kansas. May carries five Sundays. As campaign manager, I am asking for the fifth Sunday to be used by every pastor in the fair state of Kansas as Publishing House Rally Day. We can well set aside this day and raise our quota, or as much as possible for the Publishing House. Brother Pastor, will you kindly do this? I am sure your congregation and community will co-operate with in this movement; for, beyond question, it is worthy. NEEDS OF NEGRO GIVEN STUDY IN LOUISIANA. STATE INTERRACIAL COMMITTEE SETS OBJECTISVES IN WELWARE PROGRAM. NEW ORLEANS, LA., May 21 A state home for delinquent Negro boys, additional public schools and larger facilities for the training of playground for the preventing of do teachers, the provision of parks an linquency among colored children and initial steps toward the general provision of better housing conditions were among the principal objectives set at the fifth annual meeting of the Louisiana State Committee on Race Relations held here this week, in connection with the State Conference of Social Betterment. The meeting was well attended and participation in the program was general. Prof. L. M. Favrot of Baton Rouge, was re-elected chairman of the Committee. At an evening session of the Social Betterment Conference, representing the principal welfare agencies of the State, the objectives of the interracial movement were brought to the attention of the entire group in an address by R. B. Eleazer, educational director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, who pointed out the fact that no thorough-going welfare program is possible in the South which does not take into consideration the community needs of the colored group. In making your report of this money, forward the amount to Dr. A. M. Townsent, at Nashville, Tenn. Make out triplet copies of report blanks. Mail one copy to Dr. Townsend, Nashville, Tenn., retain one copy for yourself. This will enable the Campaign Manager to keep a record of the state's progress, which is becoming his position. Thanking you for your hearty cooperation, I am, Yours truly, H. B. BRONSON, State Campaign Manager. Salina, Kansas News. ST. JOHN BAPISTF CHURCH Rev. M. T.

JUDGES SELECTED TO AWARD PRIZES TO HEALTHY CITIES JUNE 1, SET AS LAST DAY TO RECEIVE REPROTS Tuskegee Institute, Ala May—Announcement was made this week of the selection of the following judges to award the prizes to the cities which have best observed the National Negro Health Week, April 4 to 11: Dr. Clyde H. Donnell of Durham, North Carolina, secretary of the National Medical Association; Monroe N. Work of the department of records and research, Tuskegee Institute; Miss Eva Bowles of New York City, general secretary of the Y. W. C. A. Dr. W. H. Harris of Athens, Georgia, grand secretary, the Good Samaritans; Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, Washington, D. C., director of the School of Public Health, Howard University; Dr. H. M. Green of Knoxville, Tennessee, president or the Association of Negro Hospitals and C. F. Richardson, editor of the Houston Informer, Houston, Texas. Three silver loving cups are awarded annually by the National Clean-up and Paint-up Bureau of St. Louis, Missouri, to the cities rated first, second and third respectively in rais ing the level of Negro health conditions during the campaign. Baltimore, Maryland, took first honors in 1925 with Louisville, Kentucky, second and Wichita, Kansas, third. All cities entering the contest are requested to send in their reports to the Principal, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, not later than June 1. The awards will be presented to representatives of the winning cities at the twenty-seventh annual meeting of the National Negro Business League in Cleveland, Ohio, August 18-20. Reports received to date indicate that the health week was more widely and thoroughly observed than in any previous year. Northern cities which hitherto had not taken part in the promotion of Negro Health Week have entered heartily into its observance this year. Especially gratifying is the interest which Negro educational institutions have shown in promoting more Negro health. Daily and weekly papers have given liberal support to the movement both in their editorial and news columns. White and colored social agencies and state and federal public health bureaus have co-operated generously in making the observance of National Negro Health Week effective in securing better Negro health. CHILD HYGIENE BUREAU URGES HEALTH INSTRUC TION FOR NEGROES (Tuskegee Institute Press Service) (Tuskegee Institute Press Service) MONTGOMERY, ALA., May 21—Better child hygiene instruction among Negroes as a means of reducing Alabama's infant and maternal mortality rates is urged in a report prepared by Miss Jessie L. Marriner, Director of Bureau of Child Hygiene and Public Health Nursing, State Board of Health. The report which is to be published soon is a statistical study of births, maternal and infant deaths in the state covering the five-year period. 1920-24. The report reveals that although the colored birth rate falls below that of the whites for Alabama, it compares favorably with that of the United States birth registration area. It further shows that the birth rates and maternal death rates in urban centers and rural sections are approximately the same; but that the infant death rate is considerably higher in the cities than in rural districts. "Apparently the hazards of motherhood are almost twice as heavy among colored as among white women," the report of whites averages 6.4 per 1000 births and that of Negroes 11.06. The study suggests that this may be due in part to the Five Cents Per Copy BLIND BOONE CONCERT AT CALVARY. --- Last Monday night, the Blind Boone Concert, was given a large audience. He proved that he was a wonder and should inspire the ones with eye sight to struggle but the harder on the road to success. The first part of his program, he stayed in the realms of the artists. He then to show how he learned his pieces asked that some one come forward and play a piece that he might repeat it. The middle of his program, he did something we had never seen him do, i. e., bring the ragtime, dance or popular music into his program. We are sure no person who has been regenerated, felt the same, after he in the sacred place dedicated and sanctified for the preaching of the Gospel, was thro' with rhymes that the world call their own. Think of the spot, where the pulpit was, was for ten minutes turned into the tickling fancies of the devil. We wondered, if the Master would have walked in, would He have known His Father's House, that He had given His life's blood that she would be brought in without a spot or wrinkle. No! We took down God's Altar and worshipped the follies of Satan in the name of a Christian organization. We know that Y. W. C. A., principles are far above this. I looked like killing a man to get his money to put in church, i. e., committing a greater sin to do a lesser good, because the world has already said: there is no difference between the Church and the world,—they do everything we do and such actions demonstrate that you are right. If this is lifting up Christ, we can't understand. Well, it was not Calvary's fault this time, but it will be, if it happens again. God forbid, that anything shall ever appear on His holy rostrum, where our souls are to be fed with spiritual food again that will serve to desecrate it in the sight of the people and before God. We are so spiritually ignorance until we think that anything will do in the house of God, where we should come to be with God. fact that a larger number of Negro women are attended by untrained midwives, whereas the whites are more frequently attended by physicians. The lack of medical supervision during pregnancy and the generally acknowledged nonobservance of good health habits as to food and rest are further noted as probably factors in the maternal death rate among Negroes. Although the total Negro death rate is greater than that of the whites, it is noted that in four of the seven causes of death lived, the rate among whites is greater than among colored people. Summer diarrhea and enteritis, measles, diptheria and scarlet fever exact the heavier toll from the whites. However, deaths among Negroes from tuberculosis, typhoid fever and malaria are greatly in excess of those among whites. AMERICAN LEGION ANNUAL MEETING The eights district of the Kansas Dept. of the American Legion Auxiliary held its annual convention at Sedgewick, May 14, 1926. 12 units were represented.

The Recital of M. messray was a grand Musical Treat to the community. Sunday School Lesson (By RBV, P B FITZWATER, DD, Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (C. 1918, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for May 23 LESSON TEXT—Census 26 12-28. GOLDEN TEXT—A soft answer turn- eth away wrath, but grievous words attr up anger—Prov 15 1 PRIMARY TOPIC—Isaac Refuses to Quarrel JUNIOR TOPIC—Isaac Refuses to Quarrel INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Isaac the Peacemaker. TOUNG PEOPLK AND ADULT TOPIC—How to Deal With Aggressors. Isaac was a child of the covenant and given in the time of the old age of Abraham and Sarah in fulfillment of God's promise (Glen, 1911-5). His name means laughter, a reminder of the gladness of the heart of his mother when she learned that she was to have a son. As to character he was gentle, meek, meditative and peace loving. He was a remarkable contrast to his father Abraham. Two things may have affected him to his disdain. I. The shadow of his illustrious father. Sons of great and rich men commonly do not make much of life. The necessity of struggle is not forced upon them. 2. He was brought up as the only child of his mother. The tendency in such a case would be to shield him from the necessity of self effort so that he would be unable to meet life's stern realities. Every child should be compelled to think for itself and to fight its own battles. While not a mighty man by nature's gifts, through the blessings of God's grace he became the inheritor of the covenant promise. He was not only a meek man, but a man of prayer as well (Gen. 24: 63; 25: 21; 20 23 25). 1. Isaac in Gerar (vv 12 17) 1. The Lord appeared unto him (vv. 1-4). Because of famine in the land Isaac went into the country of the Philistines. This distress should have moved him to call upon the Lord (Jas. 5:13). It were better to suffer in the land than to go among the enemies of God's people. The Lord graciously appeared to him there and directed him not to go into Egypt, thus avoiding the error of his father. 2. His lapse (vv. 7-11). He fell into the same temptation as Abraham many years before (Gen 20: 13). When one goes into the enemy's country he can expect to be tempted to do wrong. 3 His prosperity (vv. 12 17). Isaac did not intend to make Gerar his permanent place of abode. He intended only to sojourn there. While there he sowed and reaped bountifully. This prosperity was no proof that God approved of his course. II. Isaac's Enemies (vv. 1822). Isaac was not permitted long to enjoy this fruitful land. His prosperity incited the envy of the Philistines. Success in any calling in life will provoke envy. Ministers and Sunday school teachers sometimes become envious of each other. The Philistines ordered Isaac to leave them. Wherever envy has begun its deadly work there must be separation. They took as the method of getting rid of him the stopping up of the wells. Isaac did not contend with them but peaceably withdrew to another place where he proceeded again to dig the wells of his father. The Philistines again strove with him. He named this place Esek, which means contention, and again he removed from them. The second name he gave was Sitnah, which means enmity. This willingness to remove from the enemy shows his willingness to be imposed upon rather than to fight. The third time he dug wells there was no strife. The name given to this was Rehoboth, which means room. We should learn from his behavior that the way to have peace is to wear out our enemies with patience. III. Isaac in Beersheba (vv. 2333) Immediately upon Isaac's going up from among the Philistines the Lord appeared to him. The Lord permits envy and strife in the world in order to get his children separated from them. Following this visitation by the Lord, Isaac built an altar and called upon His name. As soon as a meeting place with Jehovah was established he pitched his tent there. Following this his servants dug a well. No use going among the Philistines to get water After Isaac was established in Beer sheba, Abimelech came desiring to make an alliance with him. He gained influence by peacefully withdrawing from them. Being thus convinced they desired to enter into constant relationship with him. The way to gain influence with the world is to withdraw from it. Noblest of All Victories For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories, whereas to be vanquished by himself is the basest and most shameful of all things. Believing in Truth Trying to have the courage of other people's convictions is a difficult task. One must really believe in a truth himself before he is willing to suffer for it. --- Abilene Interests Told Bishop Cary of the African Methodist Church addressed the members of the local congregation at 2:00 l'clock Friday Afternoon. Bishop Cary presides over the three States and is making a tour of his diocese. Bishop Cary went to Salina, Friday evening, to preach for the Methodist people. The Installation of the Pastor, Rev, J.

It has been a long time since, we told of the many great things, which have happened in and around Nicodemus, but we have still been on the firing line; face to face with the enemy of righteousness, under the leadership of our faithful Pastor. Our Christian Banner has kept on the move and our soldiers have fought bravely to bring the Kingdom of Jesus Christ in the hearts of men. Our Sunday School lesson has been well taught by well informed teachers and review by our Pastor, who taught on the beginning and development of sin. He told us the danger of little sins, that in time will end into endless destruction. The lie, which Satan told in the Garden of Eden ended into the death of all generations. The coveteousness of Cain toward his brother Abel ended into hatred and murder. The selfish choice of Lot ended in the destruction of Sodom; jokes ending lies, moderate drinking ending in drunkenness, Card Playing into gambling, dancing into prostitution, etc. Our services were well attended and the presence of the Holy Spirit has been with us. The Pastor has preached for 4 weeks on a series of sermons, titled: "The Forces, which move men," beginning Sunday, April 18, closing Sunday, May 9. The Pastor while introducing this subject said: that men were moved by forces, which could easily be seperated into two classes: visible and invisible, (seen and unseen) but the greatest emphasis was placed on unseen forces. The first sermon was on "Hearing," text Matt 7:24-25; the second: "The Two Spirits," Numbers 14:22-24; the third: "Vision, The Burning Bush," Exodus 3:2; the 4t "The Vision of Nebuchadnezzar," Dan. 2:1-44. Many great things were drawn from the texts to show how men were moved. Text for Sunday, May 16; Isa. 40:31: "The I gress of the Righteous.

Tool of Music in the HARMONY E. e. ms WICHITA, KANSAS CENTRAL WANTED At last, real spring has arrived and we are truly glad. The day's services at the New Hope Baptist were permeated with spiritual fervor. Dr. J. C. Patton, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church of Kansas City, Mo., was the special guest of the day, the occasion being the Pastor's Anniversary. Early morning prayer meeting was attended by eighteen and opened the door that the Master might come in and sup with us all day. Sunday School under Mrs. Oda Fields was well attended. 106 present. The Junior Clas No. 2 (boys took the financial banner with $2.00; the Junior girls retained the attendance banner, 15 enrolled and 14 present. The morning worship period brought an inspiring message from God by Dr. Patton from I. Cor. 13:13, theme: "Love, the Queen of Virtures.' This sermon was a lifting discourse, greatly edifying its hearers. The afternoon praises and testimonials services which were to be led by the Young People were not largely attended; many of our folks went to Humboldt to attend the church dedication exercises. The same cause that leads adults to seek selfish pleasures, has its beginning in childhood. One of our greatest tasks is to show the Young People the attractiveness in the cross of Jesus Christ. The "Summer slump" has begun and is probably more keenly felt in the B. Y. P. U., than any other branch of the Sunday services; yet, we still have hopes, evening worship period was delight to the souls of all present. The choir seemed to have a special measure of grace for the occasion and sang as they have never sung before. The pastor delivered a short address bringing a survey of the year's work and a prospectus of the incoming year's task. Dr. Patton came forward with another burning message from Acts 20:28 and Eph 4:11-13; theme, "Pastoral Responsibility." This message blended beautifully the ethical, doctrinal and devotional phases of pastoral and church labors. All were made to acknowledge Dr. Patton to be the "teacher sent from God, as he departed on the early morning train to prepare for his trip to the Western States Baptist Convention to be held in Milwaukee, Wis. The Sunday School offering was $7.58;7 the church's offering was $83.10. Miss Amanda Peopler, who is here from Pittsburg, Kans., attending school and who is to be one of the graduates this year, is reported to be seriously ill. Miss-Peoples is President of the Y. W. Mission Auxiliary. We are praying for her speedy recovery. "SURVEY OF YEAR'S WORK." Brothers and Sisters and Friends:— Were I graced with the privilege of preaching a sermon, I would take for a text the words of the Psalmist, "The Lord has done great things for us; whereof we are glad." But since this is to be a survey of the year's work and a view of the future, we find nothing better on which to base our remarks than the words of a famous general, "We have crossed the Rubicon; Beyond the Alps hes Italy." The achievement of crossing the Rubicon is not near so great an accomplishment as scaling the Alps, yet in the year's work just completed we consider that we have crossed the Rubicon. Thru the help of God and you, in the year closed there have been twenty-two (22) additions to the church by letter, by baptism, by Christian experience and restoration. There have been four (4) by watchcare. All of these except one, are around about now, some only reporting periodically. In the year, to the test of our calculation there has passed thru the church treasury $1564 60 and hundreds more thru the auxiliaries. Some progress has been made in all the activities of the church excepting the B. Y. P. U. Many things have contributed to the shortcomings of the B. Y. P. U., the main thing being the "hands off policy" of the adult members of the church. The Sunday School has grown from an enrollment of something between 70 and 80 to 111; one class has been added and the school is pushing out "the sides of the church, hunting room for three more classes. The Teachers' Training Class with an enrollment of 15 and an average attendance of 7, is another feature of the S. S. work. The Mission Society has been removed from the financial to the spiritual, assistance of the church and under it, here has been organized four (4) prayer bands for the spiritual uplift of the community. The Church Aid Society has been charged with the financial assistance of the church. An organization of the Y. P. thrived for almost the year's time, having later passed away. This, too, was affect with non-interest of parents that shall we say as to the develop = The Rubish comp yet we the and been the Christ There care arouing bested and riced in a cept have of the ing mem School of 1111 scho the more ing and no Miss from st he ra of coc na rg im ! --- Chanute Notes. ment of the deaconal They have grown in d mensions to be seen by everybody and that without a tele- one. "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy"—what a steep mountain to climb. So, we have Alps to climb—Intellectual, financial and spiritual Alps. If we succeed as a church, we must continue our intellectual work. To have a church to shine as the beacon-light of the State of Kansas, the membership-must be informed. To this end, we are arranging a study on membership in the Baptist Church for all members, old and young. Members, let us say to ourselves that we are tired paying interest on borrowed money, which will soon equal the principal, rise up and with a mighty effort and scale this financial Alps. It is going to require a greater effort to scale the spiritual Alps, because the uncreditable and questionable morals of men retard the spiritual ascent—but we can make it,—we must make it. "We have crossed the Rubicon, Beyond the Alps Lies Italy." As the mountain climbers rope themselves together so that if one goes up, all will go up—if one perishes all perish,—I am tied to Jesus, and if you will tie yourselves to Jesus, we shall scale the Alps ere another anniversary rolls around. Let us labor and pray that God will direct us and lead us, and one falls during the year, like soldiers on the battle field, let the next man step up and take his place and lead on to victory. St. Mary Baptist Notes Rev. J. E. Douglas, Pastor. Last Sunday was a busy day. S. began promptly on time, 9:30 with Sister Supt., and her staff of officers present. "Abraham And The Three Strangers" were discussed, which was very interesting. The lesson was reviewed by Pastor. The attendance was over 100. At 11:00 a.m. after devotion, the Pastor was in the Pulpit, he took his text from Phil. 2; theme: "Church at its Best." We enjoyed a real spiritual feast. After sermon, invitation was extended: one came forward. B. Y. P. U., at 5:30. Mr. John Anderson is bringing things to pass as president. Willing and Ready had charge of program, which was good. They also won Banner for finance. At 8:30 after devotion, the Pastor took his text Mark 15; theme: "Obligation." The Pastor was at his best and the Holy Spirit ran like wild-fire and everyone enjoyed the sermon. Invitation was extended, three came forward. Many visitors were with us both day and night. Visitors are always welcome. On Monday nite, Minnie Whitehead had a Musical Tea in the Basement of the church in connection a splendid program was rendered More than 50 were present. The Mission Circles are very busy, preparing for the Big Rally the 5th Sunday of this month. We are asking all to come out, let's enjoy a real program, which will be rendered in connection. R. L. Williams, Reporter Coffeyville Notes. CALVAKI BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. S. A. Williams, Pastor. Mrs. Hunter of Fort Scott, spent the weekend with her daughter, Miss Berthena Hunter.

SUNDAY SERVICE AT CLAVARY 5:00 o'clock Sunrise Prayer Meeting was indeed a great meeting with the Holy Spirit very prevalent. 4 persons were present. 9:45 Sunday School opened by the Supt., Bro. E. H. Briley. Interesting lesson and a splendid review by the The Negro Star—for the good of the people Pastor, Sunbeam Class won the Bam- per, Mrs. E. C. Fuller, Teacher. At 11.00 o'clock, sermon delivered by Iastor Williams. The Spirit of God was upon him, giving power to the message. Text: "The Spirit of God is upon me."—Ias. 61:1-2. Christ speaking with the Spirit upon Him had a drawing power upon the people. The importance and power of the Holy Spirit was indeed made plain, without the Spirit you can do nothing, for Christ works through His Spirit, Spiritual things are spiritually discerned and interpreted and lead out into Spiritual realm. To know God and spiritual things you must be possessed with the Spirit. You must worship Him in truth and Spirit. Our songs, prayers and service unless approved by the Holy Spirit are as naught. Persons besmearched with the evils of today, are not recommended by the Spirit and therefore unable to worship in truth and Spirit. Christ was sent to preach good tidings to the meek and bind up the broken hearted, comfort those who mourn. The sermon was a sermon of encouragement to the old and decrepit, for this day was set aside especially for the aged people of our church. Though old and set aside, God loves and cares for them and will take care of them all that is necessary, is to keep their hand in His hand, that the Holy Spirit may stamp His approval upon their very weak efforts and be ready to comfort those who mourn and bind up the broken hearted. Those who live not becoming as Christians were dealt a blow that will either draw or drive. O, for more such sermons. 3:00 o'clock, Rally by the Mission Circle. Rev. E. Riney, pastor of the White Baptist Church, delivered a wonderful Missionary sermon; "Three Great Verbs in the Bible;" "Come, Tarry and Go." A sermon full of fundamental truths and one that should be put in practice by all. First, we must come to Christ ourselves. Tarry until we are endued with power to be clothed with power: means, to read God's Word, pray and obey; ridding ourselves of all hindrances. Go, ye into all the world and preach the Gospel. 6.30 B. Y. P. U., Bro. Geo. Roberts president. 8:00 o'clock, Rev. J. S. King delivered a sermon full of wholesome advice, text: "Watch, pray and give thanks." The Sacrificial Bible Study Period at Calvary, Saturday afternoon from 3 to 4 o'clock is growing in interest as well as numbers and an unusual sight, but yet a beautiful sight is to see the children sacrificing play to study God's Word with the grown ups and older people. The lessons are being discussed also by the different persons that compose the study and indeed interesting. Pastor Williams as teacher spares no pains in making our lesson so very plain that the children may under stand God's Word as they are the church of tomorrow. Study that you may better know what God would have you do. Phone your news and subscription to 1787-W or 2301.

ONLY a few more days and your children will be home and in your care, have you planned a definite program for them this summer! If not, the devil will fill them so full of his spirit until there will not be room for the higher things of life. Every child should have some work to do and not be allowed to run loose all day. The law does not allow dogs, chicken and geese to do that, and how much more should we see after our children. There should never be a time when you could not tell where your children are. Think on these things. WE are guilty, we are just so spiritually ignorant is the reason that we make so many blunders in life. We are trying to be popular and we call that intelligence, when the Master calls it pride and a haughty spirit and He says: "that comes just before a fall." We can become spiritual giants, but we must study. Every young Baptist leader is requested and required by the Christ, to be present at Topeka, Kansas, June 15 to 18, to help put over an edifying program of the S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Conventions. Christ prayed too earnestly that we should be one for us not to be one and only spiritual ignorance is keeping us from being one. Elect yorr messengers, Sunday and start your plans to have them present with efficient funds to put over the greatest program in the history of the Baptist of the State. Can we count on you? We hope to have the program and all information in your hand by next Sunday. CITY ITEMS.
