Since that time, you can sea how innocently Mr. Coleman Norwood, 19 years ol, t would have been killed, if the ordera of the Police Department had Leen cartled, “shoot to kill,” who on the corner of 33th and Lawtence, asked a white, woman, the direction to St. Francis Avenue, after he got off the Bus, He was a strangeé in the town and was not clear on directlons; she was kind enough to tell him. They both went their way, but a police rushed to the scene, where peace and satisfaction had reigned, and caught the man, tearing his clothes, butsting off his buttons, and took him to jail for two cays, Now the police was the star witness, trying to make a case, even if the truth was neglected, The woman'had the truth, but she was not needed when the police could take her place, This is wrong, ‘The police has no ¢ight to put forth such efforts to condemn a person; they are to bring in the ones accused and the accuscrs, give the truth in the tase, and the evidence found will de- «ctaine the case; but even with this Gisgrace, {t was better than shooting him down without a chance.

It, seems to be all’ sight for the white man to run over Negro women, but t is awful for a Negro man tospeak a white woman, White women ind the Negro"women should get ogether on this matter, because it ecms that the white man means hat the Negro man and the white voman must be bound, and the white nan and the Negro woman must go ree to do as they please. The white nan does not seem to have very much onfidence in his women, when he uts out such statements to the pub- ~ c.

LESSON TEXT-Gal 5 13-25. GOLDEN TEXT-Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather improve them. PRIMARY TOPIC—Serving One Another by Love JUNIOR TOPIC—The Law of Love INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Self-Control for the Sake of Others YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Works of Darkness and Works of Light The only way this can be called a way of making the world Christian is by leading the individuals to a personal knowledge and experience of Jesus Christ and entering therefore into the power of the new life. Having shown in chapters 3 and 4 of this epistle that the believer is free from the law as a means of justification, Paul makes practical application of this doctrine. The divine way of making the community Christian is to secure the regeneration of the individual. The way to destroy the work of the devil is through the sonship of believers. 1. Christian Freedom (vv. 13-15). 2. It is not an occasion to the "dish" (vv. 13). Liberty is not license. The notion that when one is free from the law, that he is free from constraint, is wickedly erroneous. License of the flesh means not merely the inadulgence of the flesh in actual material sins, but in the expression of a self-centered life in biding and devouring one another (v. 15). 2. By love serving one another (v. 13). Freedom from the Mosaic law means slavery to the law of love. The emerging from bondage through Christ is the passing into a sphere of life in which all the powers should act under the dominion of the true motive, love—Morgan. Love thus becomes the fulfillment of the law. 11. Walking in the Spirit (vv. 16-18). This discloses the secret of how a life of service to another can be lived. The governing principle in the life of a believer is the Holy Spirit. Walking in the Spirit results in: 1. Loving service to others. 2. Victory over the flesh (vv. 16, 17). By the flesh is meant the corrupt nature of man expressing itself in the realm of sense and self. The renewed man is two men between which is going on a mortal conflict. The Christian must choose between good and evil. When he chooses the evil, the Holy Spirit opposes, and when he chooses the good the flesh opposes. Notwithstanding this deadly conflict, victory is sure. 111. The Works of the Flesh (vv. 10 21). Iy works of the flesh is meant the operation of the carnal nature. The one who chooses to live according to the impulse and desires of his natural heart will be practicing the following sins: 1. Sensuality (v. 10). 2. Irreligion (v. 20). These acts take place in the realm of the spirit and are: (1) Idolatry, which means the worshiping of idols. (2) Witchcraft or sorcery. This means all dealing with the occult. 3. Sins of temper (vv. 20, 21). These take place in the sphere of the mind and are: (1) Hatred. (2) Variance, which means strife and contention. (3) Emulations, jealousy. (4) Wrath, bursts of passion. (5) Seditions, factions in the state. (6) Heresies, factions in the church. (7) Envyings. (8) Murders. 4. Sins of excess (v. 21). (1) Drunkenness. This means indulgence in intoxicating liquors. (2) Revellings, acts of dissipation under the influence of intoxicants. Those who practice such sins shall be excluded from the kingdom of God. IV. The Fruit of the Spirit (vv. 22-24). This indicates action in the realm of life. The product of the Holy Spirit indwelling the believer. (1.) Love to God and man. (2) Joy, glad heartedness because of what God has done. (3) Peace with God and fellowman. (4) Long suffering, taking insult and injury without murmuring. (5) Gentleness, kindness to others. (6) Goodness, doing good to others. (7) Faith, believes God and commits all to Him. (8) Meekness, submission to God. (9) Temperance, self-control in all things. Against such there is no law. Underrating Value Oh, do we not too frequently, under- rate the value of the promises of God? They were made to us and we should trust them, for they are as true as the God by Whom they were made.— Echoes. It is exceedingly difficult for one's heart to bow and say, "I will be nothing but a lamb," but that is our place, for the Lord says, "Vengeance is mine."—Ethoes. The Negro Star—For the good of the People B.Y.P.U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES 615 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kansas. B. Y. P. U. LESSON FEB. 27, 1927 Text: 1 Cor. 1:26-31. "Conquest on the Congo." The Congo or Congo River is a stream of Equatorial Africa. The length is about 3000 miles. In volume the Congo is the 2nd river in the world; next to the Amazon. The Congo empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Some parts of the river is ten miles wide. Much of it is navigable, it has many large tributaries. The entire area comprise over a tenth of all Africa; estimation places the population of this vast region at no less than 30,000,000 chiefly Negroes, known racially as Bantus. We have the French Congo on the North bank of the river near the coast. Portuguese Congo or Angola lies on the coast South of the mouth. Belgian Congo comprises the greater position of the interior with a small strip along the river to the coast. We have given this background to give you an idea of the magnitude of the task. Conquest on the Congo, you will note first the governments too, with which we must deal and then the vast number of souls to be conquered for Christ. We have from the Captain of the victorious army to the command, "Go Ye (the church) into all the world, preach to every creature the Gospel." With this command, the promise, "Lo I am with with you always!" Also, we have assured conquest, Psalms 1:8; "Ask of Me, and I shall give (thee) the heathen (for) thine inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth (for) thy possessions." The conquest on the Congo is in proportion to the faithful loyalty, sacrificial service of the chosen men and women who march under the banner of the cross. The text shows that the class of men selected is the humble; not many wise and noble are called. Not the learned and strong but the ignorant and weak. How strange for such a responsibility. But when we remember three things, we begin to understand: First, the humble and meek are the best instruments for the Master's use. Second, the Master calls men to prepare. "Follow me, I will make you fishers of men." Third, the power of God is more pronounced when manifested through (weak as the world might call) instruments. God calls and commands of the unwise, the weak, the despised things which are not, and brings to naught things that are. That is, God demands of us the impossible and expects u. to accomplish it. That is not too much, when we remember the promise: With Him all things become possible, and without Him, there is no glory. Christ has made all things for us; and God forbid that we should glory save in the cross of Christ our Lord. THOUGHTS The world must be conquered for Christ. The Christian forces are sent on a world conquest. Christ conquers by love; all other methods fail. When Christ becomes the accepted ruler of the Congo, racial and nation-lines will fade. A REAL STEWARDSHIP REV. J. E. DOUGLASS 1204 Cleveland Ave. Wichita, Kans. My thoughts are:—That if your Stewardship is to be a real factor in your Christian living, it must be based upon a thorough understanding of what is taught in the word of God. You need to remember that some words have very important meanings. For instance, there is vital distinction between ownership and possession. Possession is often urged as a proof of ownership, but it is not even a reliable sign of ownership. This is well illustrated in the case of a burglar who has robbed a clothing store overnight. A police officer meets the thief on the street the next morning, carrying a suit case in which is all the stolen clothing. Now the suitcase is in the burglar's possession, but he does not own it. The difference between ownership and possession is also illustrated by the bank in which you have deposited money. The bank has your money in its possession but it does not own the dollars. Now the Bank can only use them within certain well-defined limits, and is accountable, if I understand from all it has. God, the Father-Owner, has put into your possession, a life that contains very many wonderful elements, such as time, energy, talent, personality and money; but you do not own the life nor the elements that it contains.

Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FITZWATER, DD, Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (B. 1937, Western Newspaper Union) Temperance Lesson. LESSON TEXT-Gal. 8 12:26 LENSOR TEXT-CRIL 1975 GOLDEN TEXT-Have no fellowship with the unfruilful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. PRIMARY TOPIC—Serving One Another by Love JUNIOR TOPIC—The Law of Love INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Self-Control for the Sake of Others YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Works of Darkness and Works of Light. The only way this can be called a way of making the world Christian is by leading the individuals to a personal knowledge and experience of Jesus Christ and entering therefore into the power of the new life. Having shown in chapters 3 and 4 of this epistle that the believer is free from the law as a means of justification, Paul makes practical application of this doctrine. The divine way of making the community Christian is to secure the regeneration of the individual. The way to destroy the work of the devil is through the sonship of believers. 1. Christian Freedom (vv. 13-15). 2. It is not an occasion to the "flesh" (v. 13). Liberty is not license. The notion that when one is free from the law, that he is free from constraint, is wickedly erroneous. License of the flesh means not merely the indulgence of the flesh in actual material sins, but in the expression of a self-centered life in biting and devouring one another (v. 15). 2. By love serving one another (v. 13). Freedom from the Mussle law menna slavery to the law of love. The emerging from bondage through Christ is the passing into a sphere of life in which all the powers should act under the dominion of the true motive, love—Morgan. Love thus becomes the fulfillment of the law. 11. Walking in the Spirit (vv. 10-19). This discloses the secret of how a life of service to another can be lived. The governing principle in the life of a believer is the Holy Spirit. Walking in the Spirit results in: 1. Loving service to others. 2. Victory over the flesh (vv. 10, 17). By the flesh is meant the corrupt nature of man expressing itself in the realm of sense and self. The renewed man is two men between which is going on a mortal conflict. The Christian must choose between good and evil. When he chooses the evil, the Holy Spirit opposes, and when he chooses the good the flesh opposes. Notwithstanding this deadly conflict, victory is sure. III. The Works of the Flesh (vv. 1921). By works of the flesh is meant the operation of the carnal nature. The one who chooses to live according to the impulse and desires of his natural heart will be practicing the following sins: 1. Sensuality (v. 10). 2. Irreligion (v. 20). These acts take place in the realm of the spirit and are: (1) Idolatry, which means the worshiping of idols. (2) Witchcraft or sorcery. This means all dealing with the occult. 3. Sin of temper (vv. 20, 21). These take place in the sphere of the mind and are: (1) Hatred. (2) Variance, which means strife and contention. (3) Emulations, jealousy. (4) Wrath, bursts of passion. (5) Seditions, factions in the state. (6) Heresies, factions in the church. (7) Euylings. (8) Murders. 4. Sins of excess (v. 21). (1) Drunkenness. This means indulgence in intoxicating liquors. (2) Revelings, acts of dissipation under the influence of intoxicants. Those who practice such sins shall be excluded from the kingdom of God. IV. The Fruit of the Spirit (vv. 22-24). This Indicates action in the realm of life. The product of the Holy Spirit indwelling the believer. (1.) Love to God and man. (2) Joy, glad heartedness because of what God has done. (3) Peace with God and fellowman. (4) Long suffering, taking insult and injury without murmuring. (5) Gentleness, kindness to others. (6) Goodness, doing good to others. (7) Faith, believes God and commits all to Him. (8) Meekness, submission to God. (9) Temperance, self-control in all things. Against such there is no law. Underrating Value Oh, do we not too frequently, under- rate the value of the promises of God? They were made to us and we should trust them, for they are as true as the God by Whom they were made.— Echoes. Exceedingly Difficult It is exceedingly difficult for one's heart to bow and say, "I will be nothing but a launch," but that is our place, for the Lord says, "Vengeance is mine."—Echoes. 'The Negro Star—For the good of the People B.Y.P.U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES 615 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kansas B. Y. P. U. LESSON FEB. 27, 1927 Text: 1 Cor. 1:26-31. "Conquac on the Congo." The Congo or Congo River is a stream of Equatorial Africa. The length is about 3000 miles, in volume the Congo is the 2nd river in the world; next to the Amazon. The Congo empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Some parts of the river is ten miles wide. Much of it is navigable, it has many large tributaries. The entire area comprise over a tenth of all Africa; estimation place the population of this vast region at no less than 30,000,000 chiefly Negroes, known racially as Eantus. We have the French Congo on the North bank of the river near the coast, Portuguese Congo or Angola lies on the coast South of the mouth. Bulgarian Congo comprises the greater portion of the interior with a small strip along the river to the coast. We have given this background to give you an idea of the magnitude of the task. Conquest on the Congo, you will note first the governments too, with which we must deal and then the vast number of souls to be conquered for Christ. We have from the Captain of the victorious army to the command, "Go Ye (the church) into all the world, preach to every creature the Gospel." With this command, the promise, "Lo I am with with you alway;' Also, we have assured conquest, Psalms 1:8; "Ask of Me, and I shall give (thee) the heathen (for) thine inheritance and the uttermost pains of the earth (for) thy possessions." The conquest on the Congo is in proportion to the faithful loyalty, sacrificial service of the chosen men and women who march under the banner of the cross. The text shows that the class of men selected is the humble; not many wise and noble are called. Not the learned and strong but the ignorant and weak. How strange for such a responsibility. But when we remember three things, we begin to understand: First, the humble and meek are the best instruments for the Master's use. Second, the Master calls men to prepare. "Follow me, I will make you fishers of men." Third, the power of God is more pronounced when manifested through (weak as the world might call) instruments. God calls and commands of the unwise, the weak, the despised things which are not, and brings to naught things that are. That is, God demands of us the impossible and expects u_s to accomplish it. That is not too much, when we remember the promise: With Him all things become possible, and without Him, there is no glory. Christ has made all things for us; and God forbid that we should glory save in the cross of Christ our Lord. THOUGHTS The world must be conquered for Christ. The Christian forces are sent on a world conquest. Christ conquers by love; all other method fail. When Christ become the accepted ruler of the Congo, racial and nation-lines will fade. A REAL STEWARDSHIP REV. J. E. DOUGLASS 1204 Cleveland Ave. Wichita, Kans. My thoughts are:That if your Stewardship is to be a real factor in your Christian living, it must be based upon a thorough understanding of what is taught in the word of God. You need to remember that some words have very important meanings. For instance, there is vital distinction between ownership and possession. Possession is often urged as a proof of ownership, but it is not even a reliable sign of ownership. This is well illustrated in the case of a burglar who has robbed a clothing store overnight. A police officer meets the thief on the street the next morning, carrying a suit case in which is all the stolen clothing. Now the suitcase is in the burglar's possession, but he does not own it. The difference between ownership and possession is also illustrated by the bank in which you have deposited money. The bank has your money in its possession but it does not own the dollars. Now the Bank can only use them within certain well-defined limits, and is accountable, if I understand from all it has. God, the Father-Owner, has put into your possession, a life that contains very many wonderful elements, such as time, energy, talent, personality and money; but you do not own the life nor the elements that it contains.

Pastor Let this appear in the State Mouth- piece—The Negro Star, about our church work and new Pastor. We have just closed one of the greatest and most successful revival meetings we have ever had. Our Pastor did the preaching every evening to an extra large crowd. He hid as it were, himself, behind the cross of Christ and portrayed the Christ and His salvation to the lost world. In two weeks he hammered aw without bread amust sleet and snow and when the smoke cleared away, 34 happy souls were added to the church. And on Feb. 13th at 8 p.m. our church was crowded to its uttermost capacity with members and friends as well as spectators to witness the baptizing of 15 happy souls who were converted during the meeting. We feel that it was God's plan to send us such a man as Pastor of our church at such a time as this. He is quite a lovable character, and Christian gentleman, whom we all love and believe that he loves us. We know that he is bringing things to pass as never before here in Saudis, and we are praying that he will stay here with us always. Our Ch., is being organized into various clubs, so as to give everybody something to do. Our Prayer meeting band did untold good in our revival meeting. Father Cartwright was with us as often as he could possibly get there and preached two sermons for us and did some very tangible work; our doors stand open to him always. Friends and visitors are always welcome at Sardis Baptist Church. We raised more than $200 during our meeting. Come to see us and go with us and we will do thee good. CARD OF THANKS We take this method to thank the many friends for their kindness to us during the illness and death of our mother, Mrs. Belphia Wright. Also for the beautiful floral offering and car service. And when our mission of services to our fellowman on earth has ended, for our Faith in Him and service here, enable us to meet in that somewhere beyond, prepared for His faithful here, is our prayer.

The Negro Star—For the good of the People B. Y. P. U. LESSON BY REY. J. W, NAYES 613 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kansas. Textt 1 Cor, 1:26-31., “Conqucst on the Congo.” | ‘The Congo or Congo River is a stream of Equatorial Africa, The length {s about 3000 miles, In volume the Congo isthe 2nd siver in the world; next to the Amazon, The Congo empties into the Atlan- tie Ocean, Some parts of the river is ten miles wide. Much of it is nay- igable, it has many large tributaries. The entire area comprise over a tenth of all Africa; estimation place the population of this vast reglon at no less than 30,000,000 chlefly Ne- groes, known racially as Bantus, We have the French Congo on the North bank of the river near the coast, Portuguese Congo or Angola Mes on the coast South of the mouth. Belgian Congo comprises the greater po.tion of the interior with a small strip along the river to the coast, We have given this background to give you an idea of the magnitude of the task. Conquest on the Congo, you will jnote first the governments too, with which we must deal and then the vast number of souls to be conquered for Christ, We have from the Cap- tain of the victorious army to the command, “Go Ye (the church) into all the woild, preach to every crea- ture the Gospel.” With this com- mand, the promise, “Lo I am with with you alway;’ Also, we have as- sured conquest, Psalms 1:8; “Ask of Me, and I shall give (thee) the heath- en (for) thine inheritance and the uttermost paits of the earth (for) thy possessions,” The conquest on the Congo is in Proportion to the faithful loyalty, sacrificial service of the chosen men and women who march under the banner of the cross. The text shows that the class of men selected is the humble; not many wise and noble are called, Not the learned and strong but the ignorant and weak. How strange for such a responsibil- ity, But when we temember three things, we begin to understand; First, the humble and meek are the best instruments for the Blaster's use, Second, the Master calls men to piepare. “Follow me, I will make you fish- ers of men.” Third, the power of God is more pronounced when manifested through {weak as the world might call) in- struments. + God calls and commands of the un- wise, the weak, the despised things |which aie not, and brings to naugut things that are, That is, God demands of us the impossible and expects ug to accom. plish it, That is not too much, when ‘We remember the promise; With Him all things become possible, and without Him, there ig no glory, Christ has made all things for us;' and God forbid that we should glory save in the cross of Christ our Lord, THOUGHTS The world must be conquered for Christ. The Christian forces ate sent on a world conquest, Christ conquers by love; all other method, fail. When Christ becomeg the accepted ruler of the Congo, racial and nation- lines will fade, A REAL STEWARDSHIP REV, J, E. DOUGLASS 1204 Cleveland Ave, Wichits, Kans My thoughts are:—That if your Stewardship is to be a real factor in your Christian living, it must be based upon @ thorough understand- ing of what is taught in the word of God. You need to remember that some words have very important meanings, For instance, there is vital distinction between ownership and possession, Possession is often urged as a proof of ownership, but it is not even a reliable sign of own- ership, This is well illustrated in the case of a burglar who has robbed a cloth- ing store overnight, A police officer meets the thief on the street the next morning, carrying a sult case in which Is all the stolen clothing, Now the suitcase is in the burglar’s pos- session, but he does not own it, Th difference between ownership and possession fs also illustrated by the bank In which you have deposited money. The bank has your money in its possession but it does not own the dollars, Now the Bank can only use them within certain well-defined Umits, and is accountable, if I under- stand from all it has. God, the Fa- ther-Owner, has put into your pos- ress'on, ao life that contains vety many wonderful elements, such ar time, energy, talent, personality and money; but you do not own the life nor the elements that it contalns, WIGHITA’S BUSI ance MRO FEST IBITL INDEX.

IT YOURSELF amine the creamy texture of Red Star The Negro Star—For the good of the People --- All for $6.73 The Kansas Gas & Electric Company, Wichita, Kansas. Gentlemen: In these days of supposedly "high prices", it is indeed gratifying to learn that there is one at least of the necessities of life which one can use in abundance, at what I consider an extremely low cost. I refer to the electric service for my new home at $220 Terrace Drive, the August bill for which amounting to $6.75, has just come to hand. I feel you will be interested in knowing what I received for this $6.75. In my home I have the following electric appliances: A Frigidaire Electric Refrigerator. A Thor Ironing Machine. A Thor Washing Machine. An Electric Sewing Machine. A Suction Sweeper. Built-in Electric Bathroom Heater. Automatic Radio Battery Recharger. Ventilating Fan. Gas Furnace Control. An Electric Curling Iron. An Electric Stove. An Electric Percolator. An Electric Grill. An Electric Iron. and last, but not least, a total of 25 lights down stairs, most of which are kept burning the greater part of each evening. This does not include the upstairs bed-room lights, which of course are also used regularly. I feel that I should congratulate the Kansas Gas & Electric Company for the efficient organization which has made possible these low service rates, and also want to express my appreciation at this time, for the splendid service which your Company rendered me in the installation of these various appliances. Very truly yours, Charles Claus Kansas Gas and Electric Company ```markdown ``` Are you satisfied with the condition of your hair?

Here is a price list of goods to agents: Look at the profit Veg-O Grower in dozen lots or one dozen mixed ..... $3.90 Veg-O Luberine makes hair stay, lay, giving it a satin gloss ..... 3.90 Veg-O Pressin Oil, that preses the hair with the straightening AGENTS WANTED The gratification, Mr. Claus, is mutual. You are gratified because you have discovered something which we have known for a long time—that electricity is one necessity which you can use in abundance and at low cost even in these days of high prices. We are gratified because, having discovered it, you wrote us a letter commending us for it. It is the good will engendered by such letters as yours which enables us to continue to give perfect service at the low prices which you have remarked. Keeping the prices low-not only lower than the prices on other commodities, but lower than the electric rates anywhere else in Kansas and lower than in many of the cities of the United States-is just one form of our service to you and your community, Mr. Claus. There are others. Prompt, courteous attention to the requests of the public and Elect "At Your Service" AGENTS WANTED Phone is one. Maintaining perfect, continuous electric current for all of our customers, is another. Devising ways in which that electric current can be used in lightening the burdens of the home, office or factory, is still another.

Of course there are scores of others, and when the hundreds of industrial and commercial electric-driven machines are counted, you can see just what the electric industry is doing for the world. Your electric light and power company is one of the most powerful institutions for the development of your city and community, Mr. Claus. And cooperation between the company and its customers—of exactly the type your letter typifies—will do a thousand times more good in promoting efficiency and economy in electric service, than will all the political demagoguery and baiting of the utilities. And so, Mr. Claus, we thank you.
