(A Preston News Service) AUSTIN, TEXAS, March 11. The Senate Tuesday finally passed the Hall bill, providing for the creation of a State Training School for delinquent Negro girls. An appropriation of $100,000 is made for carrying out the provisions of the measure. No site is specified, this to be determined by the governing board. The school is to be on the cottage plan. REPORT OF WORK. ACCOMPLISHED IN SOUL SAVING BY DR. P. D. SKINNER, STATE AND NATIONAL EVANGELIST. Beginning, Feb. 1, at Strangers Fest Baptist Church, Dr. Washington, the eminent and efficient pastor and able Gospel preacher and a successful leader of this flock in Kansas City, Kansas. The writer preached four nights and conducted four Bible services; one each day with happy results and preached Sunday at 11:00 a.m., also held service in the Bible School. These services were well attended with increasing interest; resulting in 10 addition, 9 of whom were happy converts. $62.50 were raised for the church during these four nights and 63.00 Sunday, nearly $125.00 raised all totaled, during the meeting, up to that time; and this church has a beautiful modern, commodious brick edifice with all modern improvements and the pastor is marshalling his fores with commending dignity. On the night of the First Sunday in Feb. 1927, I opened a campaign for Kingdom Building at the Second Baptist Church, Argentine, Kansas, Rev. Jas. Spencer, pastor and for two solid weeks, we bombarded the forces of hell with vim and determination; resulting in 12 conversions, 16 additions alloted. Nearly $0.00 raised They gave me about $45.00 for my services and the church was greatly strengthened and edified. Dr. Jas. Spencer is an able and an earnest enthusiastic Gospel preacher and successful evangelistic pastor and his people love him. He has his church well in hand. They were well organized for the meeting and played their part creditably. The afternoon Bible services were well attended and the people were anxious for more. They were anxious to know the truth. Dr. Spencer preached two able sermons. He preached the 11:00 a.m., service, each Sunday. The 3rd Sunday at 4:00 p. m. He baptized 10 happy candidates and at night extended to them the hand of fellowship; afterwhich the Writer preached his closing sermon and the meeting closed with the Lord's Supper. On Monday the Writer returned home and spent a night with his little family; and on Tuesday Feb. 22nd he left for Ft. Scott, to fill a previous engagement with Rev. W. F. Beaty, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. Beaty is at Nashville, Tenn., attending the American Baptist Theological Seminary, but Bro. Thomas is supplying for him. We found the faithful members of this church in tune and anxious for a meeting. We began preaching on the night of the 22nd and announced our afternoon Bible service to be held each day except Sundays at 1:30. For five nights we preached to the Christians and the people came out in large numbers, in fact it is proving to be a united effort of all the Christians, for Rev. M. J. Smith and all of Shilloh have lined up with us; and all of the Methodist pastors and their people, are with us. The afternoon Bible study is well attended and the people are being greatly helped. Sunday night, I made my first appeal to the unsaved and as a result, we had 10 conversion that night; two Monday night five last night; 21 accession up to Tuesday night, distributed among the churches. Shilloh is in the majority to date. To say the least about it, we are having a great meeting here. We close Sunday, the Lord wills. P. D. Skinner. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Mar. 11, 1927. ROSENWALD FUND WILL HELP BUILD TWENTY SCHOOLS ROSENWALD FUND WILL HELP BUILD TWENTY SCHOOLS (Freston News Service) MEMPIHS, TBNN., March 10- Shelby Country is to be given financial assistance by the Julius Rosenwald fund in the building of 20 additional Negro schools, Alfred K. Stern, executive director, declared Wednesday, after a tour of the county in company with Miss Sue Powers county superintendent of education. S. L. Smith, general field agent for the fund and Fred McCulstion, of Little Rock, agent for rural schools of the general education board also accompanied Miss Powers and Mr. Stern. "The work being done in Shelby County is indicative of work being done throughout the South," said Mr. Stern, who, incidently, is Mr. Rosenwald's son-in-law. "You have a wonderful county school head in Miss Powers. She possesses all the attributes of a leader, and your county is fortunate," Mr. Stern went on, as $500,000 each year. (The fund has four primary purposes) he said. Southern Negroes Gave $3,294,770 to Own Education. "First, it strives to interest the Negro in education. You will observe that while Mr. Rosenwald has given $2,811,116 to it, the Negroes have contributed a total of $3,294,770 to the building of schools which the fund has aided. The Negroes' part has been in cash, land and labor. "Second, to stimulate the extending of educational facilities to the Negroes by establishing a nucleus for school building. "Third, it has a desire to createetter understanding on the part of the Negro by giving him added ability to understand and thus help to eliminate prejudice. "Then, too, the fund has had drawn plans for school buildings which have been accepted as standard and have been adopted for white as well as Negro schools in many parts of the South. These were furnished without cost to the schools or district. The fund has given a total of $202,000 to school projects in Tennessee. It has aided in building 57 schools and four teachers homes in Shelby County, the total cost of which is approximately $400,000. Just how much of the cost of the proposed 20 schools will be or what proportion of the expense the fund will pay, Mr. Stern could not say last night as Miss Powers had not completed her plans. The general arrangement followed by the fund is to give $400 toward the cost of a one teacher school; $701 towards a two-teacher school and $200 for each additional teacher to a maximum of $2,100. There are additional sums for teacher's homes, workshops, etc. Built 3,650 Schools In South. The Julius Rosenwald fund has aided in the construction of 3,650 schools for Negroes in the South. The total cost of these was $16,191,189. In addition to the amounts enumerated above as having been contributed by the fund and .... by Negroes, white friends have contributed $728,144 and public funds $9,257,159. Mr. Stern left last week for Mississippi County, Ark., where he will look over some Negro schools that the fund has aided there. Mr. Smith and Mr. McCuiston will accompany him. REV. GARNETT FALLS ASLEEP NEWTON, KANS., Mar. 8—Rev. W. H. Garnett a faithful member of Second Baptist Church, Rev. Hawkins, pastor, died at his home Monday night, and his funeral will be held Friday at 2:00 p. m. He was an old minister—faithful to the last. Pastor Hawkins will be assisted by Rev J. W. Hayes of Wichita. Pev. Garnett is Mrs. Ora Carter's uncle and he had many relatives in Salina. We extend sympathy to the bereaved. ANTI-LYNCHING HILL INTRODUCED IN DELEWARE DOVER, DEL, March 11—Among the flood of bills being introduced in the Deleware legislature is one for the suppression of mob violence introduced in the State Senate Thursday by Senator Latchum. It specifies that "any collection of individuals 10 or more in number, assembled to offer violence to any individual or property of one supposed to have been guilty of violating the law, shall be regarded as a mob", and all member of such mob would be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $100 to $1000 and imprisonment for 30 days to one year. Any person in a mob who would inflict injury to a person or damage to his property would be deemed guilty of a felony and imprisoned for five years. Any person suffering at the hands of a mob would have the right of action against for damages up to $1000. The bill further provides that if any sheriff permits a resident of this state to be taken from his custom by a mob and lynched, "he shall be deemed, exercised every reasonable precaution to prevent action by the mob." THE STEWARDSHIP OF LOYALTY. REV. J. E. DOUGLASS 1204 Cleveland Ave. Wichita, Kans. LOYALTY DEFINED:—Steadfast devotion, faithfulness, partisanship, single-minded attachment. Loyalty is the opposite of sickleness. It implies unhesitating willingness to suffer rather than in any way betray or belittle the person or cause which is the object of that loyalty. Loyalty is not lukewarm; it is an absolute quality. "Liking" is not loyalty. Admiration is not loyalty; neither is approval. These are passive. Loyalty is positive, active, affirmative, unyielding and unequivocal, faithful even unto death. EXAMPLES:—Daniel, Job, Stephen, Paul. Contrast Saul, Ananias (illustracting that loyalty must put the person or cause before self. Picture yourself in the situations in which the first mentioned men found themselver. Wound you measure up to it in the face of certain death or torture? Yet this is not the supreme test of loyalty, though it may be the supreme price. THE HARDEST TEST:—Jesus said: "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much." It is comparatively easy to declare loyalty to Christ. There are few who would willingly or easily betray him in a great crisis. But to be loyal in the least things, the trifles, the small humdum details that "do not seem to matter much one way or the other"—that takes a degree of loyalty that few of us possess in its fullness. We offer excuses: Well, I don't like to be a prude—" "I don't want to be a kill-joy—" "I'm young, and I want to live." And so we silence an uncomfortable conscience. When we are in doubt we seldom give God the benefit, it would mean sacrifice! GOD vs THE WORLD (Luke 16:13):—"No man can serve two masters." You have often marveled at the wonderful change in a man or woman of the world suddenly brought to Christ. Such a one seems invariably to become intensely "Partisan" God. Why is it? It is because the contrast between the old and the new—the world and the spirit—is so vivid that there is no room for compromise. To love one is to hate the other. They know the two simply will not mix. With us young people who have known Christ from childhood, it is different. We confuse desire with duty. Our loyalty must grow with the expansion of our minds and Christian experience. It is a gradual process of expulsion as our vision clears. Testing is constant, and too often we "slip" and pass it off with a shrug. But we cannot 'straddle' the fence forever.

Christ always leads on. Continued disloyalty means stagnation. Witness the host of "silent" church members—spiritual "morons" not dead, but undeveloped, choked by indifference, content to take their religion out in "gitting." Church and denomination Hub. 10; 25; "Not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together—" Why! The organized church offers the only means for most of us to express our love for Christ. Expression is necessary to life. Love and loyalty unexpressed die. No one of us is complete in himself (read I Cor. 12.) As we come together to enjoy fellowship with God and with one another, we round out one another's live's, till "the whole body" fifty joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplileth—grows up into Christ in all things. (Fullrounded development. Read Eph. 4; 15, 16.) To hold aloof from fellowship with other Christians, is to weaken that structure, and deprive yourself of its strengthening influence.

Conclusion (Rev. 3:14-22;) We are in the "Laodeian" days. "Luke-warmness" is disloyalty. This is the hour when loyalty to God counts most. METEOR CAUSES GREAT SENSATION LUMBERTON, Mar. 10—People all over Robson, Bladen and Columbus Counties were disturbed and greatly frightened last Sunday at 9 o'clock by something resembling a meteor which lighted up the horizon and was followed in a few minutes by resembling dynamite. The size of the meteor varied form the size of a basketball to that of a barrel, according to those who witnessed it. A colored woman living in Lumberton claims that it fell in her yard, while long-distance telephone information from Clarton, Blaiden County, states that many congregations there were greatly lightened. Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (BY REV F B FITZWATER, DD, Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (C. 1927 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for March 13 MAKING THE WORLD CHRISTIAN LESSON TEXT—Matt 21 16:20; Acts 16 6-16. GOLDEN TEXT—Go ye therefore and teach all nations PRIMARY TOPIC—Telling Everybody About Jesus. BONY About Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Winning the World for Christ INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How We Can Spread the Gospel. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Christian Missions the Hope of the World 1. The Great Commission (Matt. 28;16 20). 1. When and where given (v. 10). It was shortly before the ascension in a mountain in Galilee where the disciples met Jesus according to appointment. 2. The foundation upon which the commission rests (v. 17, 18). In order to prepare the disciples to receive this commission, Christ declared to them that all power in heaven and in earth was given unto Him. Before the disciples would enter upon the execution of this commission they must be convinced of His Lordship. To create doubt in the minds of believers as to the dely of Jesus Christ is to cut the nerve of missionary endeavor. 3 What the commission is (vv. 19, 20). 1. "Go—teach all nations" (v. 19). This means make disciples of all the nations, not Jews merely. (2) "I praise them in the name of the Triune God" (v. 19). Those who have become disciples of the Lord should receive the rite which signifies their relation to him. Those who have become Christ's disciples should be taught obedience to all His commandments 4. The promise attached (v. 20). Those who obey the king in evangelizing the world have the promise of His unfalling presence. II. Forbidden by the Holy Spirit to Preach in Asia Minor (Acts 10.08). The inclination of Paul and his companions was to tarry in Asia Minor preaching the Word, but contrary to their inclination they were hurried along. We have here a fine lesson on divine guidance. The Holy Spirit is just as active and faithful in closing doors as in opening them. "The steps as well as the steps of good men are ordered of the Lord." We ought as truly to recognize God's hand in the "shut-ins" as in the "open outs." III. The Call to Macedonia (Acts 16.9.12). The gospel having broken the confines of the Jewish city and country, the middle wall of partition having been abolished, the time has come for it to leap across the Aegean sea and begin its conquest on another continent. 1. The vision (v. 9). Being hemmed in on all sides, a vision was given to Paul of a man of Macedonia pleading for help. This made plain to him the closed doors about him. In finding the divine will, we should look both ways. 2. The advance (vv. 10-12). 2. The advance (vv. 1412). As soon as the divine way was known they moved forward therein. IV. The First Convert in Europe (vv. 1315). The detout people were accustomed to worship by the riverside. To this humble gathering Paul came and preached to the women assembled there. A certain woman from Thyatira named Lydia, a proselyte, believed his message and was baptized. The steps in Lydia's conversion are worthy of note for they are typical: 1. Attendance at the place of worship (vv. 13). Usually those whom God is calling are found at the place of prayer. 2. Listening to the preaching of the Word of God (vv. 13, 14). The instrument used in the conversion of sinners is the Word of God (Iliom. 10:17). 3. Her heart was opened by the Lord (v. 14). Only the Lord can convert a soul. It is our business to preach the Word of God, and it is God's business to open the heart of the Inquirer. 4. She was baptized (v. 15). Every one whose heart the Lord has opened desires to confess Him in baptism. 5. Her household believed (v. 15). When one is converted those in the home will find it out. 6. Practiced hospitality (v. 15). Those who have experienced God's saving grace are thus disposed to have part in His work by rendering aid to His ministers. Pursuit of Happiness Many people are on the wrong accent in pursuit of happiness. They think it consists in having and getting, and being served by others. It consists in giving and in serving others.—Harald of Gospel Liberty. Salvation Salvation is not from you nor in you, nor by you, nor of you, but only in Christ, and by Christ, and of Christ, but thanks be to God is for you. Central Bible Hall Record. The Negro Star—For the good of the People B.Y.P.U.LESSON B.Y.P.U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES 615 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kansas. THOUGHTS B. Y. P. U. LESSON SUN. MAR. 13 "Taking the Curse out of Money" Luke 16:1·13. Money is a medium of exchange. It is a means to an end. It belongs to God, it is intrusted to man. If we have a gift to make money, we should make it for God. There is no curse in money nor is money the root of evil. It is the love of money that is the root of sin and the wrong use of it the curse of man. In order to sustain the right attitude toward money, one must recognize God's ownership. How we spend the Lord's money is a better test of our character than how we made it. In the text, someone betrayed his trust and expected to be put off his stewardship. Dishonesty will always be visited with punishment. Often we do not realize a spirit or act of dishonesty; we are often careful to deal honestly with man but have no feeling of remorse when we are dishonest with the Lord's share. Cultivate a taste for honesty; it's the best policy. Can a Christian be dishonest? When we keep back the Lord's share, what about our salvation? When should one begin to tithe? Should a man give for his wife and children? FOR SALE BY CRAWFORD & CRAWFORD 1241 Blaine; 5 rooms, gas, electric; 43x140 ft. Price $1600. Cash $100.
