BE SURE TO ENROLL NOW for MUSIC at the Coleridge Taylor Conservatory for the opening Sept. 1st. RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION The Kaw Valley Association ("Baging Kaw" which closed its annual session upward of a week ago, overflowed its banks and carried fertility to the mission field of the state, not withstanding the financial dearth prevailing over the churches by unemployment of many of their constituents. There are 38 churches in the District. At this meeting 28 represented. The amounts were smaller than in just a few recent years. But the B. Y. P. U. Convention, headed by Miss Mattle L. Bradshaw of Topoka, its "talent money" assisted much in bringing up the deficit. The Women's Convention, headed by L. A. Turner, also contributed much to the relief by extra financial efforts. The Sunday School Convention, headed by Mrs. Ross L. Jones was no less loyal in its assistance. Too much honor cannot be paid to these auxiliary Presidents and their helpers for the excellent work done under the financial pressure. They are untiring and undaunted by any reverse or handicap under which they must work. With increased interest upon the part of the pastors and the leaders of the corresponding auxillaries of each local church, these workers will accomplish far more during this present year. And when the roll-call is answered at Lawrence in 1923, they will ring the bells of goodness and "Raging Kaw" will carry fertility more abundantly to the home and foreign mission fields of the state and world. Let every pastor resolve now to stimulate each department of his church to greater activities and thereby be of larger support to these worthy workers. During the tenure of office of Mod. Young (under whom I have served greatly) a splendid financial program has been outlined for the District. Each member is requested one ($1) dollar per year, which forms the basis of representation of each church in the District. This money is to be paid by 25 cents per quarter per member. If this was properly pushed by the pastors, I believe each member would willingly pay the amt. Our Association obligation in the State Budget is three thousand ($3000.00) dollars. If the amount required as the basis of representation is paid, far more than our debt to the State would be paid. In all fairness to the Cause we represent, is that amount too large for us to pay as an Association? Is the requirement per member too large? My answer is, "NO". It is far smaller than we are assessed in lodges, social clubs, and etc. There is scarce any project with which we may be connected in whilst we do not pay more. Let us then adjust ourselves to the responsibility and bring up the money for the cause of Righteousness with the same spirit we bring up money for cause far less significant. Dr. A. W. Ross, Supt. of Missions for the state has a wonderful program for Kingdam Building. Under his supervision are twenty eight (28) mission stations in the state. Pastors are stationed at these places preaching the Gospel and developing souls. They cannot remain there unless the cause is supported by the more fortunate churches and pastors. Shall these stations be closed and the pastors be forced to leave them so far for lack of support. It would be a most discreditable reflection upon our denomination for any such suppression to become a fact. Bethen and Sisters of Shaping Law," let us press harder the claims of the cause we represent, and see if the people will not be more responsive. Dr D. B. Jackson, Kansas City, Kansas, is leading the forces of "King ins Kaw," this year. We know of his Christian real, of worth in the discrimination. Let us rally this year to the standard which he is setting for the District and cause our District to become in fact the standard bearer for the state. Dr. Jackson deserves the unstinted support of every loyal pastor and layman. It is certain that he will have the same support that was given Dr. Young. A number of young pastors are coming into our district. These WASHINGTON IRSHMEN TO PRO- TECT RACE FROM RIDICULE (Preston New G) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 19- Members of the Irish race are said to be wrought up over what they believe to be a recent tendency by motion picture producers to caricature their people, and they have meeting to see what steps can be taken to put an end to this sort of thing. The purpose of the organization is to uphift the dignity of Irish people. The tide of Irish indentation is said to have reached its greatest recently when a local theatre showcased nature dealing with neighborhood life among Irish-American families, but which was anything but a time of conditions, according to these people. In commenting on the concerted action of the Irishmen of the trict of Columbia, a prominent col- tress man said that it was a negre t table affair that Negroes had not fully reached the place where they would quickly and groupally resent insults and indignities heaped upon the race by motion victims produc- tors and actors on stage and writers of looks. The race should follow the example of these brave Irshmen. NEW RACE JOURNAL STARTED IN HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS. NEW RACE JOURNAL STARTED IN HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS. HOT SPRINGS, ARK., Aug. 18—A well edited eight-page weekly, "The Hot Springs Enterprise" edited by George S. Washington, made its appearance here Saturday, August 13th. For a number of years, Mr. Washington has written for many out-of-town publications and has had excellent experience in news gathering. This publication should prove a very newsy medium for Mr. Washington has a "nose for news." KILLED ON DUTY The whole town was thrown into confusion Tuesday about neon; when news flashed over the wires that Mr. Frank Hill had been shot and instantly killed by one of th prisoners at the County Jail where he was on duty as turnkey. Mr. Hill was a highly respected citizen here for many years, prompt to duty wherever called. Before taking the office at the jail, he was a member of the fire department No. 3. His funeral will be attended at St. Paul A. M. E. Church this afternoon. He leaves a devote d wife, mother, daughter, rister and two brothersin bereavement, who have the sympathy of the town at large—Citizens Mertuary in charge. THE RAGING KAW young men want prominence. That is not an evil. Each man should righteously vie with the other in accomplishing great things for the cause of Christ. If these young pastors will fall in line with the program and train their churches into actual duty and obligation to the cause, they will bring in a wonderful harvest at the 1928 meeting. Every member in the District should be a subscriber to the Negro Star. It is the Official Organ of the Kaptist of Kansas, and should be in every home. As we talk the other phases of our work to our congregations, let us remember to say a word for the claims of the paper which keeps our activities before the nation. M. H. Rev. J. W. Hayes Moderator Of The Southwest District Association NOW IN SESSON AT PRATT, KANSAS KANSAS CITY Permit me a word through the columns of our paper, calling the ministers of the state of Kansas, (Baptists) to the onward approach of our State Ministers' Conference that will convene within a few days with the Shiloh Baptist Church of Topoka, Kansas, Dr. L. V. Bolden, Pastor. I first, I feel it an honor, one of which I appreciate, to preside over the Kansas Baptists Ministers' Conference. It is to be remembered that you are "God's Big Men in the earth." In order to accomplish big things through this organization, a workable program must be had. Meet us in Topeka with such constructive ideas as will help put this program over. My success as President depends largely upon your cooperation. Kansas Baptists can boast of, with few exceptions, a large number of efficient Pastors. My traveling experience is somewhat elaborate, but, I have not seen anywhere as many agreeable, capable and efficient logicians as I have met in the state of Kansas. I am asking particularly that we pray for the speedy recovery of Dr. W. A. Bowren, the President of the Kansas Baptist Convention. Such men as Drs. W. A. Bowren, G. McNeal A. W. Ross, W. H. Young, J. W. Hayes, B. L. Marchant, H. B. Bronson, D. B. Jackson, G. M. Jackson, the Rev. Tenl, J. E. Elias, L. B. Bolden and a host of others too numerous to mention, have made it possible for us to have a wonderful Baptist machinery in the state of Kansas with which to operate. It would be ungrateful in me to fail to mention our faithful women, Mrs. Emma Gaines, Mrs. Lates, Miss Bradshaw, Mrs. W. H. W. Mrs. Hryes, Mrs. Douglass, Mrs. L. A. Turner, Mrs. G. N. Jackson, and a host of others that space does not permit me to mention. We fell that this splendid force in Kansas is necessary to the success and development of our work. I feel that a stipulated amount should be paid by each pastor and minister in the State to the State Minister's Conference that will enable us to so function to the end that our superannuated pastors will be cared for. Braithen, the average church member is fast becoming stubborn, contrary and opposed to the Kingdom Program, and if you are not asleep, you can see the unpleasantness and cloggard for God's ministers in al- most every church. It is therefore essential that we understand one another I am, Yours enroute to the President S.

David Desires to Build a House For God (vv. 1, 2). Having subdued all his enemies, David sat down in his new and beau- tiful house to meditate. While thus amusing, he is led to see the inco- ntrivity of dwelling in a house of cedar while the Lord's place was no common ruly devout soul cannot be con- tent to dwell in personal case and lux- ry while the Lord's work is neglect David's proposition met with Nathan's approval, but the next day he came with definite instructions from the Lord regarding it. 11 David's Desire Denied (vv. 38). While fully appreciating David's motive, the Lord disapproved his plan. The rejection of his plan was not because of his nonappreciation of David, for He had taken him from the lowest walks of life and elevated him to the highest place among men. He assured him also that the cause would not suffer for because of this change of plan. Two reasons may be assigned for his prohibition of David's plan. 1 David was a man of war (1 Chron. 22: 263). Since the kingdom of God is to be a peaceful kingdom, it was not fitting that a man of war should build the capital city. This was not a research of David for being a man of war. The enemies of the Lord must of necessity be put down. No peace or rest could be to God's people till the enemies were subdued. It showed, rather, that David had done his work and that the time had now come for another to take it up. 2 The time and circumstances were not fully rife Girl's house should be a great house, therefore it would require a man's best energies to build it. The nation's treasury was no doubt much depleted by the wars. Since much money would be required, simple time was necessary to enable the people to act and to finish. III. The Lord Pledged Himself to More Than David Proposed (vv. 4-2) 1. David was to have a great name (v. 8). David's name has gone down in history as one of the great men of the earth. It was a long way from herding his father's sheep to the throne of this great nation. 2. I will be established in a central place (v. 9). The nation was not again to be moved away, nor to be wasted by the children of wickedness. 3 He was to enjoy Coors continued favor and help (v. 10). All his enemies were to be subfused 4 Perpetuation of the kingdom in Dulda's line (vv. 11-14). (1) "Build thee a house." This means a granting unto him of a posteriority, a family line. David proposed to build a temple as a place in which to worship God. God purposed to establish the kingdom in David's line. This was to be perpetuated in David's seed after him. (2) "Establish his throne" (v. 12). This means the placing of him in a position of royal authority. (3) The kingdom was to be perpetual (v. 13, 14). He was to be settled in his kingdom forever. Disobedience to God would be blamed with chastisement (II Num 7:15), but the covenants were not to be abrogated. Chastisement has followed, but David's seed is destined to occupy the throne (Luke 1:31:34; Acts 13:14:17). IV. David's Worship (vv 10:27). In his actual worship, note: 1. His humility (vv 10:19). Those who really worship God apprise Him with great humility. 2. His praise (vv, 19, 20). Out of a heart of gratitude he praised God for His faithfulness and grace. 3. His gratitude (vv, 21, 22). I' had an appreciation of (God) of and expressed his gratitude to II' or it. (Is petition (vv. 2327). At praise and expressions of gratitude but lead up to the offering or definite petitions to God.

Unselfishness is a crown that scir tillates glory long after the wear has gone to his eternal reward.—Eun dust Record. Unselfishness B.Y.P U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES August 21, 1927 615 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kansas Luke 10:25-37 To keep the races together and apart at the same time is impossible. It is not a matter of race relations, but rather a matter of race attitude. It is not a matter of mind and soul, culture and grace must settle that. Since relation is in the blood, we cannot alter that, but what about the racial attitude? It is well to consider, first, of whom is the neighborhood comprised, home or foreign born, or both? If both, we have the matter of home mission in foreign mission and foreign mission in home mission. Second, are the educational opportunities equal? Are the economic opportunities fair? Is Christianity the deminant religion? Our lesson introduces a question of vital importance, "What shall I do to inherit eternal Life?" This skilled question was tempting or testing Christ. But Jesus met the tempter on his own ground and put him to flight. "What saith the law?" answer: Love man truly and God supremely. The lawyer's correct answer brought from Christ a command and a promise "This do and Thou shall Live.' Then follows another question from this lawyer whose sense of duty had been quickened: "and who is my neighbor?" Jesus teaches by illustration and leads the questioner to answer his own question; "Go and do thou likewise." THOUGHTS It is grace that saves, good works and life are the fruits of salvation, only. A right answer but the wrong solution. It is one thing to state the truth but quite another to practice it. If you do what you know you will know more to do. God works by economy and order. Our first duty is to be a neighbor. It is the duty of each Christian to be a friend, make friends and make others friends, not regarding color. It is humanity we want to cement in heart and soul as nature cemented us in blood. Cherryvale News Notes BETHELHEM BAPTIST CHURCH REV. WM. THOMAS, PASTOR S. S., 9:45, opening by Supt.

Prayerless giving nor insincere work will never bring down "the old time fire" aron our cold formal churches. Let us do all in His Name. All pastors who are going to Detroit should hold a sort of farewell meeting with their people before they leave, and make that they pray for us who make up the National Baptist Convention. This work is the work of the Lord, and should be entrusted upon in His Name. I strong effort will be made and urged to make Founder's Day a real rally day for our Publishing House Debt. A special programme is being prepared for that day, which any pastor may ordre from the Publishing Board—Remember, it is nuts. November 24th. The larger and more beautiful churches being built in all parts of the country are a greater tribute to the value of our trained ministers. Our good schools for higher training and our great Publishing House are lasting tributes to our key men who team work. With these things in our favor, should we not walk humbly before the Lord, pleading His guidance that no haughty spirit overtake us and we loose His favor? Let us pray. My brethren know how uneservably I gave myself to Africa for nearly twenty-six years. They know no sacrifice was too great, the ocean was never too rough, even when dotted with deadly submarines, for me to cross, impursuence of my duty. Now I want to visit Africa for a last time. The work of Nerro-Bantist Missionaries stretches from Freetown to Clerk Coast, and there is much I can write for any next Historian. I want to go to Africa in November. Yours in His Service. L. G.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19—This city bonsts of the oldest Negro orphanage in the United States. It was established in 1836. It was only sixteen years ago that the Board of Education established at the Orphanage Public School 49, and the experiment of educational affiliation with a separate institution has more than justified the move. Miss Alice F. Halpin, the principal of the school, has held the post until the first roll-call. Eight teachers are supplied by the Board of Education. The recent commencement exercises demonstrated the progress of education among Negro children in New York. The orphanage is located at Riverside, one of the quaint semisuburbs of that city. ARKANSAS NEGROES HONOR SECRETARY OF COMMERCE WASHINGTON, Aug. 18—"Present ed to Hon. Herbert Hoover in token of appreciation and gratitude for his wonderful work and sympathy during the flood of 1927, by the colored people of Arkansas, June 26, 1927," is the inscription which appears upon a living cup, filled with nickles, dimes, quarters and half dollars, which was recently given to the Commerce Secretary as Chairman of President Coolidge's Flood Relief Commission. This cup, it is said will be added t the trophies which Secretary Hoover has amassed over the wordl. Comment among Negroes through out the flooded districts is interpressed with deep gratitude and affection because of the sympathetic and liberal way in which Mr. Hoover administered flood relief through out the ravageed area. COLORED CONTRACTORS INCREASE WASHINGTON, Aug. 18-The large and increasing number of successful colored builders and contractors will be interested in the result of a nation-wide survey recently made by the American Builder, a builder's magazine, which points out that snow looting valued at nearly two billion dollars yearly and more schools, stores, churches, hotels and other structures are required to meet the demands of the central population increase of approximately 17,000 people. Attention is also directed to the fact that the largest single requirement in the annual building program is due to depreciation, which is conservatively estimated at 3 per cent.
