MISSION ESSAY How May the Missionary Work Help Raise the Standard of Christianity. BY MISS ESTHER CHAVES Every Missionary should consider it the highest honor, and the greatest privilege to assist in the growth of the Kingdom of God by his personal efforts. He should realize too, that it is not only his privilege to work for God, but that a most solemn responsibility rests upon him to ho so. The true Missionary having found Christ to be precious to his own soul desires at once as did Andrew and Phillip of old, to get some one else to taste and see that the good is good; And what is true of the individual missionary should be true of the whole church, making the church one his Missionary Society, going about doing good and thus helping to raise the standard of Christianity. How the Missionary Work may Help raise the Standard of Christianity, may be told from many viewpoints; four of which we will name: First, Tact; Second, Contact; Third, Ability; Fourth, Responsibility. First, Tact—Tact is nothing more nor less than shilling dealing with men. Tact is knowing what to do, when and how to do it. Second, Contact—Contact is the coming together or the touching of two bodies. There are two things to remember; First, we must have contact with God; Second, we must have contact with man. As Missionary, if we expect our work to help raise the standard of Christianity, we must come in contact with, and get in the way of the weary, the lonely, the needy and those who are out of Christ, and lend a hand in any way that is needed; end if we keep close to Jesus all the way, the standard of Christianity will be easily raised. M. H. Who will have charge of the singing for the Union Revival, Nov. 8th (See statement on 1st page) M. B. Talbert Y.W.C.A. Vesper Services will be held Sunday, Nov. 14, at the Y. W. C. A. A good program is being arranged and the public is cordially invited. Nov. 11-20, will be World Fellowship Week. Each Girl Reserve Club will observe World Fellowship thru their programs next week. Monday, Nov. 15, the Douglas School Girl Reserve will give a program at the Eranch. Talks will be made by the girls on India, South America Japan, and China. Other programs for the week will be announced. The High School Girl Reserves took an educational trip to the Steffen Ice Cream Co., Wednesday afternoon. The following people were kind enough to donate the use of their cars: Mr. Gravelly, Mr. B. W. Crawford, Rev. Hayes, Dr. McGee and Dr. Bell. In spite of the downpour of ra'n, Sunday afternoon, a large group of young people attended the Forum Discussion at the Branch. Sixteen registered for the Opportunity Classes at the Y. W. C. A., Friday evening. Misses Covington, Graves and Mayberry were hostesses and served sandwiches, cakes and hot tea. Mothers are urged to bring their babies to the Clinic Wednesday at one o'clock. A Mother's Club was organized Wednesday, Nov. 10. All mothers are invited to join the Club. There are a number of good positions for women who are experienced or have city references. For further information, Call Market 4106. The following officers were elected at the Little Mothers' League, Wednesday:—Mrs. Mary Riden, President; Mrs. Sadie Embry, Vice President; Mrs. Harreld, Secretary; Mrs. Adkins, Treasurer, and Mrs. Gates, Chaplain. The Club will meet every Wednesday at 2 o'clock at the Branch. Third, Ability—Ability, as all other factors of raising the Standard of Christianity, is something within the reach of the humblest child of God. It too, is a gift from God, and comes in answer to prayer. Then let us in prayer, ask God to grant us the power so we may have the ability to help Raise the Standard of Christianity. Fourth, Responsibility—Here our Lord teaches us our responsibility, one to another. Son of Man, I have made thee, a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore, hear the word of my mouth and give them warning from me. Wen I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and, thou giveth him not warning nor speak to warm the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Each of us has a duty to perform. It is not enough to have our household saved, but we are to reach out and save others. We cannot bring every man to Christ, but we can bring Christ to every man, and if he does not accept, we are not responsible. The thing we are to do as Missionary workers, is to "Bilighten the Corner Where You Are." The result will be summed up in John 12:32. "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." And this is the Standard of Christianity, will be Raised. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Nov. 12, 1926. 6. How did Enoch escape death? In the matter of evident support and development of the spiritual force by a large portion of its citizens New York is typical of the American Cities with its variety and abundance of elaborate church edifices everywhere. The Cathedral of St. John the Divine at Morningside Heights, near Columbia University in process of construction with the Crypt, Choir, seven Chapels of Tongues and Crossing completed at a cost of $3,500,000 will reach a total cost of more than $10,000,000 when completed. The Seven Chapels of Tongues consist of separate apartments of worship for the different nationalities and speech of its cosmical host of communicants Thus, the Chapel of St. James for the Spanish with its finish and decorations symbolizing the deeds and sacrifices of St. James, and depicting scenes from the life of Jesus, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. St. Ambrose the Italian Chapel furnished and finished direct from Italy, the decorations of which portray the life of St. Ambrose. St. Martin, the French Chapel, designed to commemorate the experiences and sacrifices of St. Martin, Joan of Arc and other of this intrepid people. Columbia, the Chapel for the Norsemen, Scotch and Irish. St. Savior, for the Chinese, Japanese and peoples from the orient. Boniface, the German Chapel. And Ansgaras, the Chapel for the Swedish, Danish and Scandinavian. Services are held at 7 a.m., in one of these chapels every day. The plan being ultimately to assimilate and merge these seperate groups into one united congregation for services in the mammoth auditorium adjoining the several chapels. The exte- (Preston News Service) MEXICO CITY, MEX. Nov. 11—An influx of Negroes from the British West Indies, suspected as having been brought on by employers in an attempt to lower labor standards because of their backwardness and ignorance of unionism, has led to an official bar against the Negroes by the Mexican government. All incoming Negroes will be stopped at port and border points. It is said that many of the West Indian Negroes are suffering considerable unemployment, pitiful low wages and brutal oppression of British imperialism, and for the most part are entirely unacquainted with unionism even the strict British rule permits them to exist. In many cases, it is said, such unions as exist are controlled by traitors of their own race, who do little to advance the standards of unionism. 'Y' SECRETARY TO SPEAK W. L. Hutcherson of Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., was invited to address the Haskell Indian School at Lawrence, Kansas. This is the largest Indian School in the world. Mr. Hutcherson spoke to them upon the subject: "World Brotherhood, and the Place of the Negro in this Brotherhood." While in Lawrence, Mr. Hutcherson, spoke to the Forum, composed of the colored students of K. U., and the Lawrence High School. Mr. Hutcherson also addressed the City-Wide Christian Endeavor Institute at Winfield, Nov. 5. X=X=X rior length of this cathedral is 600 feet with a breadth of 300 feet and an area of 100,082 square feet being the largest in America and the third largest in the world. When, complete it will be in the shape of the cross. In the Crypt of the cathedral are the tombs of Bishop David H. Greer, Bishop Charles Summer Eutch, and Dean William M. Grosvenor. The tomb of Bishop Henry C. Potter is in St. James Chapel. The tomb of Bishop Horation Potter, founder of the Cathedral, is immediately behind the high Altar in the main auditorium. Among the treasures of the Cathedral are the Barberini tapestries and tikes in pavement in front of alter taken from the Church of St. John the Divine at Ephesus, built 540 A. D. Of the many churches of our race group in the city besides Rev. Adams' church already referred to, I had the plasure of attending the Abyssinian Baptist Church pastored by the Rev. Clayton Powell—a beautiful, large, conveniently built church, arranged to accommodate the varied activities of intensive religious training of the Spirit, mind and body; with a large auditorium, gymnasium, lecture room, class rooms and study rooms. Nearby is the Marcus Garvey Church, which reminded me of our unknown tongues. The Eastern Churches are largely independent. Most all have rent houses. Rev. Adams' Church has two. One church in Cleveland, Chio, has four rent houses and a store building. Mt. Olive Church in Chicago, has an overflow auditorium which is usually filled, and another church in the suburbs. Many of the larger churches have three or four assistant pastors, all of whom are well paid. (Preston News Service) PHILADELPHIA, PA., Nov. 12—As one of the principal speakers at an interracial meeting under the auspices of the State Department of Welfare, held at the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition, Thursday night, Nov. 4. Dr. George E. Haynes, Secretary Commission on Church and Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches, said in part: "The Negro in America is combining the Oriental, non-militant attitude of the East with the positive aggressiveness of the West in a remarkable manner. He readily embraces, therefore, the vision of Christian brotherhood that came out of Falconte. "In practical interracial co-operation, however, it does not take the form of non-cooperation as does Brahminism in its expression through a great soul like Ghandi. Ghandi's attitude is non-cooperation in modern industry and agriculture. The Negro puts the positive content in his attitude and says he will cooperate on a brotherly basis of equal opportunity. Ghandi, of the East, will not participate in the government under British law. The Negro of the West says, I am an American citizen and as such will cooperate to get a larger measure of justice and fair play in the courts under American law." "Ghandi takes on the practice of poverty as a protest against the unethical standards that are pouring in upon him. The Negro seeks through his great church organization the way of life la'd out by Jesus Christ as a means of raising the ethical standards his time and country. The Negro challenges America to interracial peace and brotherly fellowship based upon positive justice and good will." NATIONAL LEADER HERE C. H. Tobias, Senior Secretary, National Council, Colored Department Y. M. C. A., spent two days in the city, enroute from Denver, to points in Oklahoma and Texas. While in Wachita, he attended the supper, given in honor of Yergan, at the Central Y. M. C. A., and also addressed the Community Religious Training School. He attended the meetings at the Water Street Y. M., at which Yergan spoke; also at the High School and New Hope; and addressed the High School at Mulvane. He expressed himself as highly pleased with the relationship and program of the Central Y. M., in its relation to the colored work; and the fine work being done by the latter organization. SPEAKS TO MANY AUDIENCES Mr. Max Yergan, Secretary, Y. M. C. A., in South Africa, spent four very full days in Wichita. No man has ever addressed more different audiences in the same period of time He spoke before the following groups: Young Peoples Conference Council of Churches ..... 200 Young People's Forum. Colored Branch Y. W. C. A. ..... 65 Fairmount Cong. Ch. Veaper Irr. 275 Friends Univ. Chapel Hour ..... 525 St. Paul A. M. E. Church ..... 100 Staff Conf. Y. M. C.

Mr. Yergan is more than a Missionary. He is a statesman. His work is touching every phase of life in South Africa; even across Race Lines. He expressed great delight and satisfaction with the work being done in Wichita. He remarked that the relations between the races could not be duplicated. And the work being done by the colored branch, of a very high order. He referred to Mr. Hutcherson as one of the outstanding leaders in Association Work; and expressed the belief that Wichita, would make a contribution to the entire movement in Race Relations and Community outreach. St. Paul Notes. There was an increase of attendance at our Bible School, and a lovely interest was manifested in the lesson study; Mrs. Neva Brown's class of Junior Boys, was the banner class. The Holy Sacrament was administered at the morning services at 11 a.m., our Pastor Rev. C. E. Brooks, preached, a splendid sermon touching on the significance of the Lord's Supper Subject; "One of you shall betray Christ when we partake of the world when we fail to acknowledge Him by our works, acts, and upright lives we deny the Christlove and sacrifice for mankind. Rev. Brooks preached again at evening. Tuesday afternoon the pastors Aid Society held their regular weekly meeting and completed arrangements for their entertainment to be given on Thursday evening, Nov. 18.

Five Cents Per Copy NOVEMBER TWENTY-FIFTH AS PRAYER DAY Entire Race Urged to Adopt Prayer for Relief from Oppression President of League OJers a Form of Prayer for Nation Wide Use. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Nov. 8, 1926. An appeal to the race to adopt incessant individual prayer and group prayer as a measure of relief from proSCRIPTion was issued today by the president of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. George Frazier Miller, Pastor of St. Augustine's P. E. Church here. This is the first measure of the Sesquicentennial Plan of Crusade for Rights adopted by the Leagues at its 19th annual meeting and race convention in the birth of the Declaration of Independence last month. The plan, designed to carry out the Sequil Declaration Rights there framed, advises also independent voting for men and measures, union of all kinds of race bodies to use the political and economic resources to compel relief from segregation, disfranchisement, lynchifig and proscription, also membership in one or more civil rights organizations. It urges formation of racial Equal Rights Leagues especially during Sesquicentennial year. President Miller urges that Nov. 25th be made a nation wide Day of prayer for deliverance from wrongs and injustices which we suffer as the people, on Thanksgiving Day, unite to pray for continued prosperity and blessing. THE RACE PRAYER The president of THE NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE sends greetings to the Colored People of America, and requests them, in their devotions THANKSGIVING DAY, or other days of prayer and religious devotions, to petition our Heavenly Father with the invocation following, or with prayers to like it: O Almighty God, who art a most strong tower to all those who put their trust in Thee, whose Holy Spirit directs and defends the souls of faithful men, do Thou protect the weak throughout this broad land of the United States of America, and show to their oppressors the light of Thy truth, to the intent they may see the error of their ways, and turn to the meeting out of justice to all mankind, in Thy faith and fear, that Thy Name may be glorified where ever it is known; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O Holy Lord, we humbly pray that Thy mercy and grace may rest upon this land wherein we dwell; and that through a knowledge of the truth and a quickened sense of justice, all villiany, fraud, injustice, and oppression may be driven from the borders hereof; and the hearts of the disobedient may be turned to the honor of Thy Holy Name. Amen. O Thou Ever-Loving and Merciful God, who hast made of one blood all nations of men that dwell on the face of the earth, show to the doers of injustice the viciousness of their ways make them to know that wickedness, murder and rapine cannot eternally thrive, and that those who practice such attrocities toward their fellowmen must finally be brought to desolation through the certain vengeance of the God of justice and right who will cast down the mighty from their seats, and evermore establish truth and righteousness in the land. Amen. RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION today. Sunday School Lesson (By REV P. B FITTWATER, D.D. Dean of Day and Event School, Moody Upl Institute of Chicago) (© 1928 Western newspaper Union) Lesson for November 14 LESSON TEXT-Josh 16.5.16 GOLDEN TLT-I whelly followed the Lord my God PRIMARY TOPIC—The Brave Spy Reward JUNIOR TOPIC—The Reward of Service BEFORE INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP 10-GRADES, THE COMPANY. IC—Caleb, the Countess FOUND PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Blessings That Follow Whole hearted Obedience 1. Elements of Caleb's Character. 1. Independence of spirit (Num 13:00). Though the multitude clamored to follow the report of the ten, Caleb de- termined to stand alone. This is an element in human character which is highly important. One should stand for what he knows to be right, re- gardless of the sentiment of the crowd. 2. True to convictions (Josh. 14:0 cf. Num. 14:00). What Caleb knew and felt he spoke out. He did not wait for the opinion of others and then modify his to suit the populace. A true man and one who can be trusted will be loyal to his convictions. 8. Unselfish (14:12). He did not ask for some easy place. He did not wish to thrust someone else into the place of difficulty. He wanted to go into the place where it would require fighting in order to drive out the giants which were in the land. 4. Courageous (Josh, 14:12, cf 13:20). This courage he displayed when he insisted that they were able to go up from Kudesh Barren and take possession of the land. Forty-five years have elapsed since that time. He would be considered an old man now, but still he desired that place for an inheritance which would require some fighting. He said, "I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me as my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war." 5 Loyalty to God (Josh. 14:8, cf. Numb. 14:21). He served God with a whole hearted devotion; indeed, this is the way to his character. II. Caleb Laying Claim to His Inheritance (vy. 6:12). Culeb did not come alone to make his claim. He came in the presence of the children of Judah, lest he be suspicioned of taking advantage. He did not wish to wait until after the lot was cast, for God had already given a certain portion to him. It were useless to ask God to decide a matter which He had already determined. The basis of his plea was: 1. The ground of his service (vv. 0-8). He had endangered his life in spying out the land—had gone to Hebron when the giants were there. He brought back a true report when his brethren were all against him. He bore his testimony and insisted that they go up and take the land though to do so incurred the displeasure of his brethren and necessitated his standing practically alone. 2. On the ground of the oath of Moses to him (v. 9). Joshua had respect for Moses, and was bound to follow the counsels of his faithful master whom he had succeeded. This plan was effective. 3. On the ground of God's provident deal with him (v. 10, 12). God had preserved him in bodily health. Though he was now eighty-five years old, his natural forces were not abated. He said, "I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me, as my strength was then even so is my strength now for war." III. Joshua Giving the Inheritance to Caleb (13:14, 15). J. Joshua blessed Caleb (v. 17). He not only requested in Caleb's claim, but bestowed the blessing of God upon him in it. 2. The Inheritance given (vv. 13, 14). Hebron was the name of the Inheritance. The name Hebron means fellowship. It was given because Caleb had fully followed the Lord. Only those who fully follow the Lord can enjoy fellowship with Him. Though Caleb now legally possessed Hebron, it was necessary for him to fight to drive out the giants who infested it. In Christ we have an Inheritance which God has given us. We, too, must fight because the enemy is unwilling to relinquish his claim upon it. Believing in Christ Many men do not believe in Christ because they do not want to do what Christ demands of them Their doubts are not intellectual, as they pretend, but practical. They deny Christ so as to escape obligation and effort. Young People. Praying for Others I have been benefited by praying for others; for by making an errand to God for them I have gotten something for myself—Rutherford. Cherryvale News Notes. S. S., at 9:45; opening by Supt. Burgess: "The Fall of Jericho;" was well discussed and reviewed by Pastor Thomas. Morning service, 11:05; devotions led by Deacon Burgess. Afterwhich, Pastor Thomas took his place and brought the message which was both spiritual and and soul-stirring; from Psalm 27:10, subject: "Divine Support," which was very much appreciated by the hearers. At 3 p.m. Rev. A. L. Gardner, Pastor of New Hope Church, Parsons, Kansas, preached for the clubs Nos. 1 and 2, rally period. Rev. Gardner was at his best and certainly brought to us a wonderful message, found 2nd Timothy, 4.6, 7, 8. Subject: "The Christian's Course, Conflict and Crown;" with illustrations from start-to finish, was food to our souls. These two clubs did splendid work for which we are proud. They went over the top with their $1.00 and $2.00 rally. Total amount raised $69.00 (by 1 and 2) with No. 1 outrunning No. 3 $11.00. Much credit is due the President, Sister Mary Roberson, Bessie Ratcliff, also the members and friends. The President wish to thank those who gave their assistance, and those who wouldn't give, may God bless them. We were more than glad to have Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brooks and boys Mrs. R. Hill, all of Chanute, with us; thank them for taking so splendid a part in our rally services. Mr. and Mrs. Brooks are members of Club No. 1. We thank Rev. A. L. Gardner for coming and delivering such a sermon, and pray that God may help him grow larger and larger and climb higher, and higher in His name.

At 11 o'clock, Pastor S. A. Williams took the stand and preached one of his God-fearing sermons on kindness, bringing out some points to Christians and unsaved as well; such as preachers should preach to make people repent instead of making them happy all time. The conduct of people is responsible for the community; we should let our lights shine that the world may know us. 3rd, kindness has power to attract our religion must exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees. Christian kindness will cause you to feed the hungry, regardless who it is, if they be for you or against you; or give power and syapathy to those who are down and out; and many other good things were good for all who were present.

Mr. Thomas Turner went to Strong City, Sunday to visit his daughter, Mrs. McLory. B. Y. P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES NOV. 14, 1926 Devotional Subject:—Watch Your Steps. Lesson Text:—1 Sam. 20:1-7. The Negro Star—For the good of the people The books of Samuel are so called not because Samuel was the author, but because that prophet is the most prominent character in the opening portion and the great instrument in the establishment of the kingdom of Israel. Our lesson today is devotional, written about B. C. 1062. Places: Naloth in Ramah and Gibeath. We mean by devotional lesson, devitting or centering our mind on religious thoughts, fixing our attention on God. There lessons seek to lead us into the spirit of reverence, adoration and worship and there enlarge and strengthen our devotional life. Che admonition in the subject: Watch Your Steps, is stated in other words in the Acts of the Apostle, 20.23. In which we are commanded to take heed to ourselves. Again we are told to walk circumspectly,(looking all around.) We walk by an eye of faith, however, that is we think our best and act our best and trust God for the rest. Let us step then, 1. Thoughtfully, think first. 2. Step conscientiously. 3. Step prayerfully. The devil walks behind us if not permitted to walk by us or before us. He seeks to direct our steps and ensuare our feet knowing that just one step in the wrong direction may destroy character, a life, yea a soul. But the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. The jealousy of Saul endangered the life of David, Jealousy is more cruel than the grave, it causes us to slight, slander and slaughter. It may call God in question for the talent or talents entrusted. It may discourage industry or the faithful use of the talent given. It is an admission of inferiority. David's treatment from Saul caused David to examine himself or ask the question, What have I done? Sin is the cause of all maltreatment. Jonathan believed his father true to David. When we are true we are apt to believe others worthy of trust. "To the pure,' all things are pure." David stayed close enough to God for God to whisper in his car, his enemy's secret; he saw the snare set for his feet and the cruel hand welding the bloody sword to sever his head. But the eye of the Lord is over the righteous and the angel of the Lord encampeth about them that fear Him and delivereth them. When we are true to God and Man, our Father will raise up friends for us in the house of our enemies. Jonathan loved his father and he loved David. A man may be a friend to two enemies. However much we may love our relatives or our friends the principles of right should govern all our acts. The fidelity between Jonathan and David, is proverbial. They covenant in such a way that David is protected and Saul's treacherous heart is revealed. The first of the month or the new moon was celebrated by a special sacrifice, followed by fasting, at which time the head of the family cared all the family to be present, but the left hand seat, the place of honor and the seat of David was vacant. He could not trust Saul. There are times we doubt when we should trust. There are times when we trust to our sorrow. A life of devotion studying, meditating and praying, will lead us to whom to put confidence. A life of devotion is a life of victory. Take time to be alone with God. He will direct our steps aright. He will protect us and give us power and influence if we walk with Him. Enoch so walked. So close was he to God, that death could not touch him. He escaped the cruel monster and walked home with God. QUESTIONS 1. What is a friend? 2. Can one be a friend to two enemies? 3. How can we make two enemies friends? 4. What was the secret of David's success? St. Mary Church Notes Rev. J. E. Douglas, Pastor We had splendid service throut the day; with S. S., beginning at its usual hour, 9:30 with Supt. Sister Ora Evans and her staff of officers present. The lessons were wonderfully taught by the teachers. The lesson was reviewed by Pastor. At eleven o'clock we had a covenant meeting. Invitation was extended five came forward. We administered the Lord's Supper. At 6 o'clock Union opened by President; True and Tried had charge of program; they also won the banner for finance. Visitors were Prof. and Mrs. Smiley both made brief talks. Prof. Smiley sang. At the 8 o'clock service Pastor took for text 1 Cor., 3:11; "For other foundations can no man lav than that is leid, which is Jesus Christ." Invitation was extended. KANSAS GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY SCALE IN MILES KANSAS S A S P PITTSBURG INDEPENDENCE OKLAHOMA LEGENDS PETROLEUM AND PLANTS INDEPENDENCE PLANTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION The Electric and Industrial Maps of Southwest Kansas are Identical Look at this map. At first glance it appears to be but one map—the electrical map of southeast Kansas. But take another glance. You will see that it is in reality TWO maps—the industrial as well as the electrical map of this section of the state. The two so closely coincide that they are really one. To the thoughtful reader it instantly comes to mind that there must be some connection between the two. Right, thoughtful reader, go to the head of the class. THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO. IT IS THAT WHEREVER LOW-PRICED DEPENDABLE ELECTRIC POWER CAN BE FOUND, INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL RESULT. Southeastern Kansas, through the great Kansas Gas and Electric Company system, possesses one of the finest electric services in the country. Unlimited power is available and at prices so low that they can not be matched anywhere else in Kansas and scarcely anywhere else in the United States.
