Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE vol.19, No.48, WE have not had the personal privilege of hearing the Hampstis Institute choir, but the testimony of competent critics agree that, under the skilled leadership of Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett, it has attained to very high standard of musical attunty. The recent concert given by the choir of eighty Negro voices in the chamber of music auditorium of the Library, of Congress received such praise as is received for really great achievements in choral singing. The interesting thing is not that they sang well; one expects Negroes to sing well. It was not merely that they were well trained; one expects a choir which makes a concert to be well trained, even if it is composed of persons for whom singing is only incidental to other activities. The significant thing is that piano and leader alike, according to all accounts, evinced a musical feeling and an artistic technique in the rendition of varied types of composition. There were French folk songs, Russian liturgical numbers, sixteenth and seventeenth century songs, English Christmas Carols. There was also a group of Negro spirituals, without which the audience would doubtless have felt cheated out of something that it had a right to expect. It was a convincing demonstration of the fact that the color line has little significance in the field of art. We doubt whether it has much in any area of the cultural life. Granted that there are certain racial characteristics, the product partly of the cumulative experiences of the race and partly of the social environment and specific training of the present generation, it is still true that these are assets rather than limitations. There is no specific and circumscribed area of work for which Negroes are fitted and to which they are limited. A Negro choir singing French songs, and singing them so well that the critics pronounce the performance not "good—for Negroes," but unqualifiedly good, is a symbol of a real aspect of freedom. After the black race was freed from slavery, it took a long while to dispel the idea that it was not inherently in bondage to an inner ineradicable incapacity for other than mental tasks and the singing of plantation melodies.—The Christian Century Topeka News Notes MT. CARMEL BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday School opened at 9:30, o'clock with each one in place.

CARTER NAMED FOR LIBERIAN POST (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13- Hon James G. Cutter, of Georgia, now United States Consul at Tampa arive, Madagascar, was named by President Coolidge, last Saturday morning, in minister and resident Consul General to Liberia. The posi- tion was formerly held by Rev. Solomon Porter Hood who resigned on account of ill health. It is belie- ved that the Senate will confirm Mr. Carter's appointment without opposition. KEEP THE RECORDS STRAIGHT (Columbia Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 18-Engaged in the pursuit of the same folly of trying to bring the Democratic party again into national control, yet each traveling a different road, the leaders of that party in the northern and western States are actively engaged in an effort to prosecute colored voters, earnestly trying to get them to accept a political policy whether with or without faith. But the colored voters in this day and time do not annex any value to idle expectation and remote prospects. To them all Democratic paths lead to the lion's den. When William G. McAdoo, the "Dry Hope of Democracy," publicly endorsed, some months ago, the candidacy of Titus Alexander, a colored aspirant for legislative honors in the State of California, colored voters throughout the country were amazed. They recalled that it was under the administration of Mr. McAdoo, as Secretary of the United States Treasury, that the first definite Democratic administrative policy of segregation in the departments of the government was inaugurated. This injury was never forgotten, but is treasured up by all colored citizens for an opportunity of revenge. The faithful followers of Ex-Secretary McAdoo, therefore, are throwing their incense away in their effort to rally Negro voters under the McAdoo banner. Concerning the attitude of the colored voters towards Governor Alfred E. Smith, the "Wet Hope of Democracy," the statement issued by the Colored Citizens' Committee of New York during the last gubernatorial campaign speaks for itself. This committee of progressive colored citizens declared as follows: "The Hon. Alfred E. Smith has been Governor of the State for three terms. During these three terms he has NOT APPOINTED A SINGLE NEGRO to a job of any kind. The majority of the colored people have been convinced by Mr. Smith's own actions and manifestations that he has neve slncere wito the Negro race and has never meant to do anything that would help the Negro race. We know that he has been working overtime to catch the southern delegates to the next Democratic national convention and that he has spared no effort to prove to the South that on the Negro question he has spared no effort to prove to the South that on the Negro question he is dancing to their music and that he stands ever ready to do the blding of the South." The Mothers' Club. The Members of the club met on Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 15, with Mrs. Helm, 1102 Ohio Ave. Roll call response was miscellaneous quotations. Very timely current events, given by the President, Mrs. Perry. Topic for discussion: "How to get children to eat cereal." Greater portion of time was spent in transacting business. Club will meet with Mrs. Forte, 1120 E. 13th St. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Feb. 18, 1927. RACE RELATIONS ARE IMPROVING The following excerpts from the report of Robert B. Eleazer, Educational Director, Commission on International Cooperation are encouraging: "Probably the most encouraging development in the race relations during the past year has been the increasing integration of the interests of N. groes with the social welfare agencies of communities and states in Alabama, Louisiana and Tennessee the state welfare and interracial or organizations meet in joint annual sessions, while in other states close and co-operative relations are main signed between the two groups. "Notable progress has been made in the improvement of Negro school facilities. Atlanta, for example, having just expanded $1,250,000 on Negro schools has promised to the Negroes fair participation in a new school bond issue of $5,000,000. In Louisville, provision has been made for two new junior high schools, a graded school, and the enlargement of several others, while preparations are under way for a department for races in the University of Louisville. "The newspapers have become powerful influence for better race relations. Flaming front page stories of Negro crime largely responsible in the past for more than one race riot, are now tabooed by every respectable paper in the South. The featuring of constructive Negro news stories of achievement, in education, business, literature, and art, and of heroism and human interest, of interracial co-operation, and those which promote race pride and ambition are of constant occurrence in hundreds of pages." "Another significant development ment has been the, growth of interracial interest among college groups, scores of curriculum courses in race relations, voluntary discussion groups interracial message carried by colored speaker into many white institutions, the featuring of race relation in every summer student conference are favorably affecting the attitudes of multitudes of students every year. "There is a growing interest also on the part of religious bodies, many of which are working out and massing down to their organized millions programs of interracial study and activity." Let the good work continue! The "Ya" Man 'YELLOW' JIM CROW CARS 'YELLOW' JIM CROW CARS (Columbian Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, Feb. 18—That the Jim Crow car laws of the Democratic South are intended exclusively for the humiliation and discomfort of Negro passengers, NOT COLORED TRAVELERS, is illustrated by the experience of a Chinese lady, as reported in a recent issue of the "Christian Advocate." "Your Christian country," said she "is very funny. Last week I was in Mississippi and every one was all upset about me. 'Here,' said one conductor, 'you can't put her in the Jim Crowcar; SHE IS NOT BLACK.' "Well, SHE IS NOT WHITE," said the pullman porter. "I don't care, I said, put me somewhere; I am getting tired. Such a hubbub! Such a comma! I sat on my bag and waited. By and by, they, put me in the white car." She laughed, "Too bad you have no yellow cars. Then you race problem would be solved, yes?" It appears from the above inter esting but rather pathetic inciden that all colored peoples—except na the Negroes who are contributing to the wealth of the Nation, who wil unalloyed patriotism fight her battles at home and abroad, who cheris American ideals and institutions can enjoy every comfort, use ever facility and embrace every opportunity that this great country affords ALL BUT THE NEGRO. NOTES FROM THE WATCH-TOWER Ask any political campaign manager how much money it takes to make a canvass of a precinct, district or a county, and the amount stated will surprise you. Now, let us think of Dr. Townsend's canvassing this whole country to find Negro Baptists who will understand the business House debt. He needs and should have one hundred of the best of our race in financial standing, leading out in this effort. He should have a 50,000 edition of The Voice and all the aid every other Bartist paper can give him. There is no doubt we have the people who are able to and will do the job, but they must be reached, informed and enlisted. To do this, the same things must be said over and over every day. It must be done "line upon line, precept upon precept; here a little and there a little." Let us all think and, you about it in the meantime working for it—Doing all the good we can. In all the ways we can. Just as long as ever we can. We should be scattering a million Baptist tracts yearly in the interest of the Denominational education of our people. The knowledge of the history of Baptist beginnings and principles should be widespread. The principles of religious liberty for which our early leaders endured the prison, the stake, the torch, yea, even martyrdom, should be told and retold to our young Baptists if our great cause is to continue to "carry on," and the influence of these brave souls to go on blessing the world and our Lord will have His quota among all the nations of the universe. The very best Board meeting I ever attended was held in Cincinnati, January 19-23. Free dinners were served by the First, Antioch, Zion, and Southern Baptist Churches—one day each. This entertainment detainment deserves special mention for the meals were served in courses and consisted of from 3 to 7 courses. Such dinners, had they not been donated would have cost $1.50 per plate. The Ministers' Conference of Cincinnati, looked after our lodging and breakfasts. The Mass-Meeting on Sunday was a very helpful one, based on the subject; "The Need—Our Precious Life" and came as a fitting climax to a very wonderfully inspiring session of the Executive Board. Paul said to Corinthians—"All, all are yours, in Christ Jesus," Dr. Brad by and his follow-workers from Detroit, promised as much to all who shall come to the annual meeting of the National Baptist Convention in their city next September. That our people may be more efficient in word, decorum, and as members of the churches to which they belong, the Executive Board asked that the Articles and our Ch., Covenant be distributed widely so that they may be studied in connection with the Bible. These are for sale by our Publishing House in quantities of from one dozen to one thousand, at small cost. Get ready to attend the S. S. Congress in June 22-26, at Nashville. In 1619, twenty savages stolen from the jungles of Africa were brought to Jamestown, Va., and enslaved. 1865 came the emancipation of all the Negro slaves in America and just 15 years later our Baptists organized in a national way (in 1880.) It is a far cry from the little handful of heathen savages to fourteen million of the most intelligent of our group in all the world, but such is, through God's mercy and protection, the exact situation.' We should never forget that our Baptists outnumber all of the other denominations, Methodists, Presbyterians, Congregationalist, Camelites, and the rest by nearly two millions. On November 24, 1930 our National Baptist Convention will be fifty years old. It seems to me that it could never do a more far-reaching and potent act than to hold its golden anniversary, the celebration of its fifty years or organizational life in West Africa. The influence of such a creation would permeate the vast continent and its result no more can for me compute. My愿望, I hope that we meet it would be fulfilled in November 1926 has been a notable year for constructive achievement by the Colored Association brotherhood and equally notable for the honors that have come to distinguished colored men connected with the world-wide movement. It is possible here to record only the more outstanding instances. 1. The appointment of colored men to National Council committee positions—Dr. John P. Turner of Philadelphia, to the National Physical committee; P. of. W. Stuart Nelson, of Howard University to the Nationa. Religious Work Committee; W. H. Worthham, realtor of New York City, to the National Personnel Committee; and Elishon W. T. Vernon, R. A. Carter and W. J. Walls to the Counseling Commission of the Churches. 2. The election of nine colored men to membership in the National Council. 5. The election of Mordecai W. Johnson to the presidency of Howard University and of David D. Jones to the presidency of Bennett College, both of whom have served as secretaries of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. 6. The gift of $100,000 as a trust fund by Mr. and Mrs. George B. Mathews of Buffalo, N. Y., to the Michigan Avenue Branch of that city. 7. The testimonial thru membership campaigns to Julius Rosenwald in appreciation of fifteen years of philanthropy in the interest of expansion of Colored Work of the Y. M. C. A. 8. The renovation of the Butler Street Branch building of Atlanta, Ga. 9. The ground-break for buildings at Buffalo, N.Y., and Montclair, N. J. 10. Successful building campaigns at Dayton, Ohio, Germantown, Pa, and Little Rock, Ark. 11. The opening of the Los Angeles Building. 12. The home-coming of Max Yergan and the celebration of the name by the notable International House dinner. 13. The winning of Harmon awards by Max Yergan who was given first prize in the field of religion, and Hale Woodruff, membership secretary at Indianapolis, who was given second prize in Art. Hosse of Representatives WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 11-We the citizens of the State of Kansas, have our first, and we fear our last opportunity to confer the greatest merited honor upon our distinguished fellow citizen, Statesman, dean of the Kansas delegation and Floor Leader, of the majority party in the United States Senate, the Honorable Charles Curtis, and a boon upon the Republican Party and the people of the United States by presenting him to the Nation, as the Republican candidate for the Presidency in 1929. We assure you that his friends who join us in this movement are lelon and that it is made without his initiative. We would like an expression from you on this matter. Martin R. Powell, Wathena, Kans. The 16th of January was observed by the W. C. T. U., as the birthday anniversary of National Prohibition. The passing of the Volstead Act was a great boon to the poor of all races. Don't forget to remember that to pay for our Publishing House, we shall need a long pull, and a hard pull, and a pull all together. Notify Dr. Townsend at once, as to the amount of help you will give him in his stupendous struggle. Yours in His service, I. G. JORDAN. Sewing neatly done at the C. T.

Wright of Abilene, (and other children in the family) was burned Saturday afternoon, and died in the hospital Sunday. For sometime, Mrs. Wright's eyesight has been failing for some years and in some way just as her daughter stepped out of the room, she in some way caught fire which was rapidly gaining its way before discovered. This is indeed a great sadness for the relatives and friends; but our Heavenly Father knows just why it should happen and why she should be called from labor to reward by this medium. Our sympathy go out to the family. Citizens' Mortuary in charge Citizens' Mortuary, in charge. CARDOFTHANKS. Mr. W. C. Neely and family and Mrs. C. B. Burton take this method to thank the friends who so tenderly and faithfully stood by them in the illness and death of wife, mother and sister, Mrs. Ada Neely; for the beautiful floral offering and the cara for conveyance. May He find you at the last day, as ready to go as you were willing to serve, since it is our service here, which fits us for there. CONSECRATION 1. Every opportunity presents a crisis. 2. The only way to meet a crisis is by consecration. 3. In Hebrew it means to fill up, in Greek to set apart, in English to center upon. 4. The very first step in consecration is to fill up your life with the best. 5. The next step is to set apart a portion of the first best to Him who gave it all. 6. The other is to center your affection on the highest. 7. At least one-tenth of every man's money should be given to benevolence. 8. One-seventh of every man's time should be devoted to public upliftment, without expectation of pay or praise. 9. Consecrate your treasure, and it will increase to wealth; your talent, and it will become wisdom; your time, and it will blossom into eternity. 10. Procrastination is the devil's next. St. Mary Bapt. Church Key, J. E. Douglas, Pastor. Sunday was a gloomy day; though our Sunday School began at its usual hour, 9:30, with Supt, Bro, Swan and officers present. Attendance was also very good. Lesson reviewed by Assistant Supt., Bro. M. J. Jackson, who spared no time in making the review practical. At 11 o'clock, after a short devotion, the Pastor chose his text from Ephesians 5.25; words: "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it." The Pastor preached a practical sermon; seemingly, everyone enjoined hearing him. B. Y. P. U. at 5:30 was largely attended. Ever Loyal had charge of program which was very good. We were pleased to have Miss Virginia Griffin present in our Union. During the period of the program, she made a talk which was very helpful. Ever Loyal also won the banner for finance. At the 8 o'clock services, after devotion, Pastor chose his text from Phillipians 2:1; words: "If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of Spirit, if any bowels of mercies." Chief theme: "Consolation." The Pastor preached a wonderful sermon. The president of the Home Mission is asking all who are not working to be present, Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.

Whether social, physical mental or spititual, strictly spetk Ing each day has its share of all. Relating to the work itsclf we have (a) The problem of the claw {of work.) (b) The problem of time (how many hours shall I work?) (c) The problem of wage, (what shal be my reward?) Then follows — the problem ®f expenditures which in. volve: (a) The problem of broad {what shall I cat?) (b) The prob: lem of clothing, (what shall eat 7} The problem of shelter, (where shall 1 live?) The problem of Education, (what shall I know?) And, the problem of religion, (where shall I worship and whom?) Work is ordained of God and sane- tioned by Christ, history teaches His early life was spent as a carpenter. Honest labor calls into play, in nome measures, all the powers, It may not be worship but it is divina, We should not work to live be- cause we have to, but we should live to work, because we love ta work. Thrift makes one an asset rather than a liability. ‘As we find and apply the solutions to the problems of daily hfe, hy the prinesples of Christ, we raisa a stan- dard of living, (not the cust of live ing.) to Its highest power, What hind of work shall I do? Tow mani hours shall I labor and, what shall be my wage? are ques- tions that concern, not only capital- ists and laborers, so called, but all of us. Jesus has spoken on all of thes? questions, Hear ye Him, Then, the problem of expense or the cost of living, What shall I cat, what shall I wear, where shail I shelter, how shall I educate my chil- dren, where, how and whom shall I worship? Go to the man of Galilee, He has the answer. Sit at his feet as Mary of old, He speaks with authority on all of these questions, The passage shows that the young man had the wrong solution of life. Ife thought that life consisted of possessions. Not what we seem to have but right relation with God determines real Itfe, In case of the rich man mentioned, he remembered his body but he for- rot his noul, What will it profit a man? etc, He failed to put first phings first. Jesus teaches that the life |S more than ‘food, and t he ody more than clothes. Some hing vastly more important than shat one wears and eats, Then we] re taught impheit trust. To doubt}, jod is an insult to Him. God feeds he birds, preserves the Itly and pro- ects the grass. Will He forget man? Too much anxiety about hfe unfits s for the best hfe, Trust and obey.

The soul cannot hve on natur- I bread, it must be the Bread of fife, We ate often so busy wita ut bodies that we forget we have a oul. First, Is the order of Provi- ence; don't change the order.

Rosemond, Reporter. Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By REV P E FITZWATER, D.D., Dean of the Evening School Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (CD, 1971 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for February 20 SERVING IN AND THROUGH THE CHURCH. LESSON TEXT—Matt. 6 18:16; Acts 2 42:47 GOLDEN TEXT—We are laborers together with God—I Cor 39. PRIMARY TOPIC—Praising God in Church MINOR TOPIC—Serving in the JUNIOR TOPIC - Serving in the Church INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Meaning of Church Membership YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Living and Working Together in the Church There is an utter lack of connection between the subject chosen by the lesson committee and the passages of Scripture selected. The first exhibits the responsibilities of the subjects of the Messiah's kingdom, and the second pictures the graces which were upon the members of the primitive church. Definite recognition should be given this in our interpretation of the passages. I. The Responsibilities of the Subjects of Messiah's Kingdom—(Matt. 5:13 10). The whole mass of mankind is shown in the Scriptures to be corrupt—the whole world in moral and spiritual darkness. It is the high privilege and solemn responsibility of the subjects of the kingdom to exert a saving and uplifting influence on the world in which they live. They are to live such lives as to purify and enlighten. This can only be done in the measure that they personally know Jesus Christ, the King, and strive to make known His glory and power to others. 1. "Ye are the salt of the earth" (v. 13). The properties of salt are: (1) Penetrating. This means that the disciples must not separate themselves from the world, but thrust themselves into its activities. Salt must be brought into contact with the substance to be affected by it. (2) Purifying. The influence of the disciples of Christ is to uplift and purify. (3) Preserving. Salt has the tendency to arrest decay. The influence of believers tends to save the world from perishing in its own vices. 2. "Ye are the light of the world" (v. 14). Light illuminates and warms. In order to perform its mission, light must not be hidden. The city built on a hill was not intended to be hid. This world is dark and cold. Many are the pitfalls and sunres set by the devil. Believers in Christ should so live that the unwary ones be kept from falling into them. II. Characteristics of the Primitive Church (Acts 2:42-47). The behavior of the members of the early church was as marvelous as their gifts of speaking with tongues and performing mighty miracles. It was the result of the Holy Spirit in their hearts. I. They sought instruction from those who knew the Lord (v. 42). This is always so. The unfailing mark of the spirit filled believer is eagerness to receive instruction from those who have been taught by the Lord. 2. They abode in fellowship with one another (v. 42). Spirit filled believers have an affection for their kind. 3. They observed the memorial sacrament of Christ's death (v. 42). Those who have entered into fellowship with Christ will faithfully observe this memorial. 4. They continued in prayer (v. 42). A sure mark of the spirit filled believer is a life of prayer. 5. They were together (v. 44). 5. They were together (v. 44). This unity was the result of their having been baptized into the one body of which Christ is head (I Cor. 12:13). 6. They had a community of goods (vv. 44, 45). They sold their possessions and distributed them to all men as they had need. This proves that they were under the power of the supernatural. It is not a natural thing for one to abandon his title to earthly possessions. 7. They were filled with gladness and singleness of heart (v. 40). Those who are really born from above are filled with great joy and will devote themselves to the doing of good to others. 8. Praising God and having favor with all the people (v. 47). Such unselfishness gained the attention of the people and induced them to yield themselves to God and such as were being saved were added unto them. Fullness of the Spirit God cannot give fullness' of the Spirit to him who does not have such fullness of trutr as to yield his life to Him—Echoes. Self.Will The queer thing about self will is that it kills the very thing its wants—freedom.—Southern Methodist. Christ Opens the Door Christ opens the only door for the ascent of man.—Southern Methodist. The Negro Star--For the good of the People BY REV. J. W. HAYES 615 Wabasn Ave., Wichita, Kansas. B. Y. P. U. LESSON, Sun. Feb. 20 Subject: "The Problems of Daily Work." Text: Luke 12:15-31. Each day has its problems and tasks. Whether social, physical mental or spiritual, strictly speaking each day has its share of all. Relating to the work itself we have (a) The problem of the class (of work.) (b) The problem of time, (how many hours shall I work?) (c) The problem of wage, (what shall be my reward?) Then follows the problem of expenditures which involve: (a) The problem of bread, (what shall I eat?) (b) The problem of clothing, (what shall I wear?) The problem of shelter, (where shall I live?) The problem of Education, (what shall I know?) And, the problem of religion, (where shall I worship and whom?) Work is ordained of God and sanctioned by Christ, history teaches His early life was spent as a carpenter. Honest labor calls into play, in some measures, all the powers. It may not be worship but it is divins. We should not work to live because we have to, but we should live to work, because we love to work. Thrift makes one an asset rather than a liability. As we find and apply the solutions to the problems of daily life, by the principles of Christ, we raise a standard of living, (not the cost of living.) to its highest power. What kind of work shall I do? How many hours shall I labor and what shall be my wage? are questions that concern, not only capitalists and laborers, so called, but all of us. Jesus has spoken on all of these questions, Hear ye Him. Then, the problem of expense, or the cost of living. What shall I eat, what shall I wear, where shall I shelter, how shall I educate my children, where, how and whom shall I worship? Go to the man of Galilee, He has the answer. Sit at his feet as Mary of old, He speaks with authority on all of these questions. The passage shows that the young man had the wrong solution of life. He thought that life consisted of possessions. Not what we seem to have but right relation with God determines real life. In case of the rich man mentioned, he remembered his body but he forgot his soul. What will it profit a man? etc. He failed to put first things first. Jesus teaches that the life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Some thing vastly more important than what one wears and eats. Then we are taught implicit trust. To doubt God is an insult to Him. God feeds the birds, preserves the lily and protects the grass. Will He forget man? Too much anxiety about life unfits us for the best life. Trust and obey. God will provide Himself a lamb. Beware of the wrong solution of life. The soul cannot live on natural bread, it must be the Bread of Life. We are often so busy with our bodies that we forget we have a soul. First, is the order of Providence; don't change the order. Put your soul into your work and your work into your soul and trust the outcome. The life of trust is the life of victory. Why should we feel discouraged, Why should the shadows fall, Why should my heart be lonely, And long for heaven and all, When Jesus is my portion, My constant friend is He, For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. Independence News. Sunday was a high day with Spiling weather, prevailing. S. S. at 9:30; well attended. Our trip to Palestine began with 11 classes on Board, under two captains; Company A Sister W.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH We feel thankful to the Almighty for our success during the month of January, under the leadership of our pastor and the tireless workers, First Baptist, our work is in a sign place of progress. On the 1st Sunday in Jan., the 2nd marked a great beginning for the new year. The people came to this place with a mind to work and to do more for the upbulling of the Cause of Jesus Christ this year, than ever before. Our Pastor reminded us of our many blessings of the past year and also that the new year was another chance to begin life anew by saying that the Lord through the measuring of time has given us a year without spot or blemish and it is up to us as to what the year would be. After remarks, the service was changed to a covenant meeting which was filled with the Holy Spirit, and many expressed their thankfulness and desires to do more in the new year. At 2 p. m., the New Year Message was delivered by Rev. Prof. Welter, Supt. of Bogue High School (white.) This was a wonderful message from Ps. 92:12, subject: "The Cedar Christians." Many great illustrations were brought out of this subject. All enjoyed a happy evening. At 7:30, the Pastor brought the message from John 19:4; subject: "The Faultless Christ." Afterward, the Lord's Supper was administered by Pastor. 2nd Sunday, Jan. 9th, our pastor preached at 2nd Baptist Church, Hill City, morning and evening; morning text 2nd Peter, 1:5-8, subject: "The Growth and Development of a Christian." which was greatly emphasized and many great truths drawn out, 3rd Sunday, Jan. 16, masked the beginning of a series of sermons on "Life's Vision." Sermon No. 1, Rom 8:28: "Vision of Trials and Persecutions;" which was a source of inspiration and encouragement to all pessert. Sermon No. 2, at 8 p. m. Prov 14:12: "The Vision of the Right and Wrong Direction." At 2 p. m., the church was called to the home of Bro. A. G. Alexander who professed Christ and on account of illness was unable to come an make his confession in the church building. Mr. Alexander is one of largest farmers in this section of Kansas; he owns and controls more than 2000 acres of land; employs many workmen from this section an elsewhere. But for some time he has been in bad health. Like that of Manasseh, in his afflictions, he sought the Lord, 2nd Chron. 33:12-13 Like the Eunuch, Acts 8:31; he desired the Pastor's instruction, which was given at once, through prayers and instruction, he cried out for baptism, which was administered at 2.30 at his home in a big water tank, 7 feet wide, by Pastor Moore, with more than a hundred persons with Hill River Missionary Baptist District Association and its Auxiliary Conventions: ASSOCIATION PROPER: Moderator .....

He shows a slight improvement. 4th Sunday, Jan. 23, Sermon No. 3, Gen. 5:24: "Vision Partnership;" which was well brought out and it showed that no two can walk together except they agree. 5th Sunday, Jan. 30, marked the close of the series with Acts 9:11; Subject: "Living on Straight Street" (or Vision of Situatlon in Life.) Many great things were taught from this subject and was clearly shown that people living in different situations have different attitudes toward the problems of life; many found themselves on different streets in life. Some on "Young Street," some on "Middle Street," some on "Age Street." Some on "Crooked Street," and finally the faithful following Jesus, on "Straight Street." The Sunday School and Ald Departments are still in high state of progress, under our faithful leader, Mrs. Katherine Henrie, who was elected on the 1st Sunday. On the 3rd Sunday morning, the following scholars were promoted from the beginners to primary:—Hazel Alexander, Margaret Vaughn, Charles Matthews, Lawrence Matthews, Ligene Williams, Archie Smith, Alfred Sayers.

Goodly number in Sunday School also; officers elected:—Miss Lynetta Jackson, pianist, Miss Florence Lockridge, Secretary, Miss Lois Williams, Chorister. Lesson reviewed by Pastor; many vital points were brought out and explained how we can make our homes Christian. The lesson was applicable to all. The pastor brought a marvelous message in the morning worship, from Heb. 2:15: "Deliverance from fear of death;" what should be a constant thought. If we talk about death more, life would be more bright in what home, life enters, flowers are left, whatever home death enters, crepe left on the door; death, to life is what the moon is to the sun, always on its trail; death is always on our trail, and finally, overtakes us.

When a group of our engineers, or a squad of experts, or a handful of executives gets together, it is a two to one bet that they are discussing something which will not come to pass for years, and are laying plans for improvements to meet that anticipated situation. A concrete example of this foresight was the construction of the big and modern power plant on the Neosho River, south and east of Parsons, and the steel tower transmission line tying in the new plant with the Wichita plant at a total cost of approximately $7,000,000. When construction was started, existing power equipment was ample to furnish the current needed by our customers. Yet the plant was built and already it is justifying the investment. When our rates were discussed recently, it was learned with surprise by many that months prior to the filing of a rate case against us we had designed an optional rate which gave our big power customers the benefit of any fluctuation in the price of fuel. We did this as Kansas Ga Kansas Gas and "At Y at 5:30; at 6:30; Kansas Gas and Electric Company Kansas Gas and Electric Company --- Junior League at 5:30; Senior League at 6:30; Services for Sunday, Feb. 13, was introduced by splendid attendance of the Sunday School.

Every year we build extensions or make improvements because we anticipate a demand for them which has not yet been made. The people of the community often do not themselves realize what we are doing. We make it possible for industries to come and be provided with unlimited power at lowest cost; we provide service at prices which stimulate residential growth; we beautify the city after night; we foresee growth that is coming and provide for it in advance. In short, It is probable that your electric light and power company is one of your most consistent and successful community builders. We do not take any credit for this. It is to our own interest to stimulate the growth and prosperity of the communities which we serve. Yet the fact is there. We DO stimulate that growth and prosperity.
