Williams and his whole set of officers are doing their best and getting results. The address is and the reports show every mark of a new day with a new man on the job. The annual address by Dr. K. Williams was a masterpiece from every view point. He is truly a great leader and has the interest of the God, race and country at heart. Each Board of the Convention was fully represented by its secretary and showed progress. Dr. W. F. Lovelace resigned from the Home Mission Board to take up pastorage. Dr. Norris, Pastor of the First Baptist Church (white) delivered several able sermons and addresses. The Chorus under Prof. Bonton of Our the best in the history of the Convention.

POT SHOTS AT AFRICA It's column caused attention last week to vocal reverberations of W.G. and S. Sorrany of the World Sun day School Alliance, who openly child- nted nat w. Africans for their "un- forlority" complex, decried the idea of amalgamation with other races, on arguod that a "working agreement beneficial to both races was the only solution of the 'problem' of the dark continent. It was admitted by Dr. Landes that of the 7 million population of South. Africia, nearly six millohs are Africans. To be accurate the latest census of South Africa's population shows that it consists of 1,519,483 whites 165731 naties, 4697513 native blacks and (prepare to weep) 545,548, HALF JASIES. In other words, native S African blacks have been polluted by a self-admitted "superior"race to the event that the ravages have left them wake more than HALF A MILL ON HALF BREEDS, the pregny of such avaricious and unconscionable exploition, purported to represent the missionary spirit. and yet these poor natives are inherently "inferior" and the social which civilization has encountered in nits attempt to receive a "post" hation from ignorance, immorality and despair. The hall a million, half castes of South Africa, which are being augmehted each year, speak far more eloquently than does Dr. Landes concerning "inferiority" and "superiority." To quotes expression of a native S. African, whom we met during his last trip to this country: "South Africa is sick and bleeding, heart and soul, over the adevent of certain civilized groups. It is true that they have stimulated industry and quickened the utilization of our country's resources; but, alas, in the interried entertainment for all. To much ideals for which we thought Christianity fearlessly stood." YOUNG PEOPLE'S MEETING GREAT SPIRITUAL EVENT 46 College and High School Students gathered with a great host of interested friends, at the New Hope Church, Sunday night, and after a beautiful devotional program, and special musical selection, Mr. Hutcherson, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. delivered a most wonderful message. Be Message of Christ." Never before have our students been so vigorously impressed with their opportunity and likewise their responsibility. GRAND LODGE SESSIONS PASS INTO HISTORY. To The Negro Star: The 31st Annual Supreme Grand Council of the Ancient Order of Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem, which met in Atchison, Kans. Aug. 30-31-Sept. I, elected C. M. Johnson of Holton, Kans.' as its Supreme Grand King and by that act gave honor to a man that has performed great service by the practice of fraternity and who for 30 years has been a leader in teaching the ideas and principles of brotherhood. He believes that the A. S. D. of J. Order more really embodies the doctrine of fraternity and fraternal society in America. His selection is a source of great pleasure to thousands not only of the Jerusalem family, but of other fraternal societies. Supreme Grand King, C. M. Johnson is a loyal worker in church circles as well as Society. He is a Past District President of Kansas N. E. District B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Convention; a Past Vice President of State B. Y. P. U. Convention and Past State District Vice President of State S. S. Convention of Kansas and at present State Board Member of State S. S. WHAT IS "JAZZ?" Now that W. Franke Harliig (white) made a so-called jazz transposition f that ranciedious Negro spiritual, Drop Mea, adding in his explanatory notes that in it "jazz rythms abound in opretic style," it aquatical question of the composite make-up of "jazz" has received a how impetus. A few weeks ago, Paul Whiteman (white), famous or herbal conductor; made the assertion that "jazz" came to this country with the 1st shipment of Negro slaves, who wove into their songs a broilon ryten which depicted their woe and anguish. What is "jazz?" is it a new or old rhythm? By what peculiarites does it identify itself, and is its origin pure or adulterated? We would say, and with greatest respect for all the innovations which have been thrown into the musical melting pot of syncopation, that jazz is the child of "Ragtime" and the grandchild of a semi-broken rhythm which attended the early efforts of white musical writers to musical ministerry of their comic descriptions of Negroes. Then so-called days of "coon-shooter probably marked the embryo period of jazz. May Irwin, singing "I'm a Little Alabama Coon." and "When I go That Levee Round," was probably one of the forecasters of the jazz period Next quickened syncopation made possible by the physics governing the playing of mandolins and banjos brought about the idea of a jerky syncopation which could be reduced to musical scripts. Negroes constituted no little part to this bango-mandolin wheels of the new and catchy rythm. When Bert Williams and George Walker took the road with the "Sons of Ham," the broken rythm featured several of their songs. In the meantime, white music writers were feverishly copying the new syncopation and moulding it into tunes like "Dixieland," "Fetr Piper" and other original syncopation. Then, Will Marlon Cook, our own greatest artist, came out with a clean cut melody, "Emancipation Day," which, in our humble opinion was one of the cornerstones of dignified ragtime or jazz. The period of changed rythm was then on in full. Shelten Brooks, Will Cook, Will Vodery, William Tyers, Smith; and others of the Race, along with white contemporaries the country over put out song after song into which deft pianists and other instrumental performers put their fullest zeal and talent in an effort to "shake it down" without pronounced aborting very musical law ever set up. There was but one step further to make the jazz age musically complete. The wood wind and brass instrument such as the clarinet, bassoon, and saxophone, therefore but mere adjuncts and embellishers in orchestra fantasies, were given thematic parts. The change has been complete. Jazz is a razz of aborted syncopation and instrentation. It is probably here to say, in order to appease the exotic period which recreation seems to demand nowadays. Its origin cannot be definitely described. It has no limitations. It is the "chip suez" of the musical world but the world seems to want more and more of it, sad though that fact be; and it is a blessing that Schuman, Mozart and Mendelsohn are not present to hear it, for they would think, indeed, that they had lived in vain Convention of Kan. He is secretary of the Trustee Board of Second Baptist Church at Holton, and for many years has been a leader among the members of his profession. Mr. John son is possessed of a keen and comprehensive intellect, that inaures his success in any field of endeavor to which he may direct his attention. He is naturally cordial; stealth of purpose and loyal of conviction. The The S. D. of J. is fortunate in its leadership and the members of the fraternity everywhere, shearald his election with joy and look with hope toward his administration as Supreme Grand King. He is a Knight of Tabor. P. G. P. P.—P. R. G. of Kans., and Neb., and Oddfellow—P. & P. and U. B. F. and a Past C. C. AMERICAN MEDICAL CONGRESS. The Amerisian Medical Congress has covered itself with glory by republishing London Hospital Medical School, if England to give study facilities so seventy-five leading Negro doctors of America, who planning extended courses in England next year. With Charlie Hall, eminent statistician of the U. S. Census Bureau, pointing at the glaring tool of Death among Negro mollers and children, it is fitting that every avenue of medical study be opened to those physicists and surgeons who must play their knowledge and art most closely with the ranks of the Race. Alas, however, the Dean of the London Hospital says that he does not ant a large number of Negro doctors dumped over in England and is trembling in his boots over American's effort to care for her own. We do not think the protest will long wave itself in the face of science, health, and welfare. We believe that the American Medical Congrets will remain onitously firm in seeking the privileges and advantages which the world recognizes are merely builder the world's greatest science is plead of humanity, not to be denied when ing for a greater opportunity. A SENATOR'S SEAT The clanging hoof and horn of south ern rentors are already making new paper din over the possillity of seat ing Mr. Vare, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Smith of Illinois, whose nomination expenditures of millions of precous dollars are said to mark the tenacity of high financing for a seat in the Senate. Soys Senators Joseph T. Robinson, democrat, of Arkansas: "If candidates Vare and Smith are certified and retain their seat, the Senate and the Nation ought to apologize to Newberry and glorify him for so gently, timidly, and modestly corrupting the Republican electorate of Michigan Now, we hold no brief for Mr. Vare and Mr. Smith. Nor we defend any kind of censure. But it is only fair to remind Senators Robinson, Heflin and their august associates of Dixland, who ride rough-shod into the Senate on a half fare ticket, that in Pennsylvania and Illinois there being to grandfather clauses, all eligibles are permitted to the pools and votes all the time. In fact, there are now in those States Negro votes who, prior to their migration into states which eagnize the Fifteenth amendment had merely read about but had never seen, a ballot. Were the Negroes of Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia and their sister territorial commonwealth o have the unrestricted use of the ballot, well, the present blos of southern senators would merely have become contributions to political history The Couth should remain silent whenever the ELECTORATE is being discussed, for "His who reeps Epity rust do so with clean hands." oI K.

W. F. Beatty, Prof. Hawkins and his staff of teachers. CCommander Clemmie Parks and our group were guests of Mrs. Howard and daughter at a church picnic that will stay in my memory.

GOLDEN TEXT—Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee. PRIMARY TOPIC-Daniel Chooses the Right JUNIOR TOPIC—The Self-Control of Daniel INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Why Obey the Law. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Enforcing the Law. 1. Some Fundamental Laws Stated (vv. 1, 2). 1. God alone to be worshiped (v. 1). God is a jealous God, therefore He cannot tolerate a rival. There must be no idolatry. God is to have full place in our lives or no place at all. 2. The Sabbath must be observed (v. 2). The one who has enthroned God in his heart will reverence His Sabbath. The Sabbath was ordained that man might better cherish God in his heart. 3. Reverence for God's sanctuary (v. 2). The believer needs to frequent the sanctuary of God in order to have his soul refreshed. Inspect for God's holy day and the frequency of the sanctuary are inseparably united in those who fear and reverence God. II. 'Blessings for Obedience to God's Laws (vv. 8-19). 1. Fruitful seasons (vv. 3-5). 1. Printual reassurance is secured through obedience to God's government. Godliness is profitable unto all having the promise of the life that now is and that which is to come. 2. Internal security (vv. 6-8). In addition to the fullness of temporal blessings, God assured them that for obedience to His Word He would grant peace and safety. No robbers were to invade the land to disturb their tranquility by day or night. No wild beasts would be allowed to devour them. 3. Numerical increase (vv. 9, 10). Their number would be multiplied according to God's covenant to Abraham and the produce of the land increased to support them. 4 God's abiding presence (vv. 11-13). The greatest of all God's blessings is His abiding presence. Happy is that nation and people in whose presence God chooses to dwell. / III. Calamities for Disobedience (vv. 14-39). 1. Judgments in general (vv. 14-17). For disobedience and rejection of God's laws, general calamities would be permitted to come upon them. They include: (1) Physical diseases. Their health would be taken away and they were to be afflicted with diseases. (2) Bereavement. Physical disease would take away kindred and friends, thereby causing sorrow of heart, and mourning. (3) Famine. God would withhold the rain, therefore food supply would be lacking. (4) Conquest. They would be slain before their enemies. (5) Oppression and dispersion. God would allow the enemy to overcome and oppress them and ultimately take them out of their own land and scatter them. '2. The specific judgments (vv. 18-10). Hiercles rejected and warnings unheeded must be followed by more severe strokes of wrath. Four series of warnings are pointed out by Kellogg, each conditioned on the supposition that they did not repent as the result of the preceding experiences. Each series is prefaced by the formula, "I will punish you seven times more for your sins" (vv. 18, 21, 24, 29). The thought is that each new display of impenance on Israel's part shall be marked by increasing severity. (1) The rains will be withheld (vv. 19, 20). (3) This to be followed by war, pestilence and famine (vv. 25, 20). (4) Increasing terror (vv. 29-32). If the previous judgments were not beeded then severer ones would follow so that in their distress they would eat the flesh of their sons and daughters and their seed should become waste and their land so desolate that even their enemies would be astonished at it. 5. Scattered among the Gentiles (v. 83). God would scatter them among the heathen and pursue them with a sword. How awfully this has been fulfilled in the history of that people The Happiest Homes The happiest, sweetest, tenderest homes are not those where there has been no sorrow, but those which have been overshadowed with grief and where Christ's comfort was accepted. —J.
