IN MEMORIAM RESOLUTIONS of endolence adopted by the Sheriff and his attaches out of respect to the late Frank Hill, whose tragic death cast a pall of gloom over the entire community. Whereas, Almighty, God, in His infinite Wisdom, has seen fit to take from our midst, the soul of our departed comrade and bruther officer, Frank Hill, and; Whereas, during the past two and one half years, in which we have been associated with him in the performance of our daily duties, we have come to know him as a man of sterling character and high ideals, a man who by his every deed and action endeard himself into the hearts of all of us. We, the Sheriff of Sedgwick County and all his deputies are sorely grieved at his sudden and untimely death. With all our hearts we wish to extend to Mrs. Mary Hill, his mother, Mrs. Lulu Hill, his wife, and Lucia Hill, his daughter, our deep sympathy and condolence, happy to remember that he fell in line of duty with characteristic devotion, faithful to the last. Signed. C. E. Grove, Sheriff; H. P. Johnson, Deputy Sheriff L. B. Wilburn, Deputy Sheriff; Len Fordyce, Deputy Sheffield; John Grove, Deputy Sheriff; Mac Duncan, Jailer, J. L. McClintock, Jury Clerk; E. C. Rogers, Undersheriff; Dan Dwyer, Deputy Sheriff; Al Voris, Deputy Sheriff; J. M. Duncan, Deputy Sheriff; Elizabeth Bloss, Deputy Sheriff; Ida N. Shepard, Matron. Too much credit can't be given the Sheriff, C. E. Groves for the good judgment used in the appointment of Mr. Offut, another good man of our race. Let's hope Mr. Offut, makes as good as the late Frank Hill. We are behind you Mr. Grove and your administration. RESULTS OF VICE Last August 16, 1927 Marked the end of life for Mr. Frank Hill, one of the finest looking and disposed characters in our commonwealth. He was unassuming, brave and courageous. He met death from the hands of men who represent the flower of of vice and immoral groweth. Men, who regard not life above money and an easy time. Mr. Hill had a great family and was loved by all who knew him, both in Wichita and Pratt. We sympathize with Mrs. Lula Hill, wife; Lucia Hill, daughter and the many relatives and friends in his untimely death.

READY FOR STATE FAIR HUTCHINSON, KANS. Aug. 26... Already the thousands of flowers on the Kansas State Fair grounds here, are in bloom and will remain so, to greet the thousands upon thousands of Kansas people who will come to the State's greatest fair, September 17-23. The new improvements on the grounds including the hundred thousand dollar automobile show building, will all be in readiness for the opening program of vaudeville and races which will be held Saturday afternoon, September 17th. The State Fair ground is composed of one hundred and ten acres a great porch of which is planted with fine, growing trees shrubs and flowers. There are more than ninety-one thousand square feet of cement floors in the modern and semi-modern buildings on the grounds, in addition to several miles of sidewalk and paved roads which lead from one part of the grounds to the other. Even the Old Mill, the popular riding device has been painted green to match the green of the trees, shrubs and grass. The educational and entertainment features this year will be greater than before, there will be something of interest to all. One of the biggest features of the 4-H Boys and Girls' club department, will be the first annual State Encompassment of the Boys and Girls' clubs. The State Fair School will be held Monday, September 19th and all school children of the State will be admitted free at the gates on that day to attend this feature and to see EX-SERVICE MAN'S SUICIDE That is just what any ex-service man is doing when he turns a deaf ear to the appeals of the American Legon, when you let some disinterested friend tell you that there is nothing to the legion; the party telling you that, either did not have to go to war or went and did not know for what he went. You remember how Esau cheated Jacob out of his birthright. The man or woman that discourages you in anyway to keep you out of the Legion doesn't cheat you out of your birthright, but is cheating you out of your life's right. There is no organization under the sun that can fight the battles of the ex-service man better than the legion. We have proved ourselves, look into the record of the organization and check up its achievements. You soldiers, who hid your light under a barrel and no one knows you are or were a soldier until you get into trouble or want something for nothing, just keep on hiding, but ehl some day you will want to be found and these same buddies who bid you join their ranks today, can refuse you tomorrow and their refusal will be to your own regret. Remember, your own Uncle Sam is proud of every one of his soldiers of any war, and your only chance to prove to the world what kind of a soldier you were, is by what you have done since the war. Your community, your State, your Nation needs you; will you volunteer for service today? We are indebted to posterity by your deeds of today. You may work hard, pay your bills, be kind to your family, be a Christion, but there is more asked. What are you doing for your fellowman? Do you think you are his keeper? If you don't, think so, you are; and by men's deeds do you know them, and by their inactivity and unconcernedness, they are forgotten. Mr. Service man, there is room in our ranks today for you—tomorrow, they may be filled and we won't need you. So any excuse you offer won't stand; you either don't have your own interest at heart or you don't care anything about anybody. If you have no post in your city, we welcome your membership in ours. Wake up Fort Scott, Atchison, Lawrence, K. C. K., Topeka, Pittsburg, and get in line. This is our greatest Legion year. Get on the job and stay there for your own sake. The Kansas Department needs your help, and Commander McCoy, and Adjutant Ryan, are depending on you. Please dont disappoint them. Let us from this day on, for God and our country—associate ourselves together. If you want to know ask a legionaire, he knows that B.

Indications prove that every department will be well filled with thousands of exhibits and several departments will possibly be filled to overflowing. The Kansas State Fair is the great institution of practical education. It is the greatest vacation for the entire family. Come this year, bring the family ann enjoy yourselves One of the seasons' finest social events was given by Arthur Gosseet Post and Auxiliary at the close of their joint meeting Tuesday night, August 23rd. It was a farewell shower given Commander B. H. Neely who left last night for the National Convention to be held in Paris, France, Sept. 19th to 24th inclusive. This wonderful event was sponsored by Mrs. Jessie Carter, President of the Women's Auxiliary, and those good women, associated. SHOULD BE CONSIDERED REV. JAS. MOORE'S OPINION AND SUBJECTIVES To The Brethren of the State of Kansas: Let me have space to express to the State of Kansas my attitude toward the work of the Baptist in the State of Kansas. Being a Pastor in Western Kansas, for more than 3 years and now Vice Moderator of the Smoky Hill River District, (which I believe to be one of the greatest of the State) I feel that it is time for every Baptist in the State to express his or her opinion about the work of the State. My subject is, "Render Therefore to all Their Dues." Rom. 13:7. I wish to before going into the discussion of this very important subject, that I am making an appeal for the conditions of Western Kansas; spending more than 3 years as pastor of the First Baptist Church at Nicodemus, which is in Western Kansas, I feel that I am in a position to let the Baptist of Kansas know about the great task that the Lord hath laid at their door. First, the Missionary Churches, or The Churches which Need Your Aid. In the section of the country West of Salina, to, and including Oakley, there are five Baptist Churches without pastors, whose membership all told amounts to less than 69 members and the average distance is from 40 to 80 miles apart, and 2-3 of the year there is no Sunday School nor B. Y. P. U. to attend, nor anything to teach the principles of the Baptist Church. There are other small churches that have pastors who are making a great sacrifice. Their salaries are low, conveniences are poor, the ministers are few and far apart. Second, The people of these sections are highly educated and waiting for someone who is prepared to come and point them out the way to Christ; even though they be small in quantity, they are large in quality, (which is the slogan of the Smoky Hill District) therefore they need a prepared ministry, but can the minister who has spent a deal of time and money to prepare himself, come to a church with from six to twenty members and support a family without the assurance of the Baptist of the State behind him? Third, The Ministers of Western Kansas, are making the greatest sacrifice of all the ministers of the entire State; 1st, The salaries are low; 2nd, Their conveyances are poor; 3rd, Their contact with Baptist ministers, is slow; 4th, The members are few, and far apart; 5th, The winters are long and cold; 6th, The summers are unusually hot and dry, often causing crop failures which is the life of the people of Western Kansas; 7th, The Associations and Board Meetings are so far away until the railroad company receives more finance from the delegates than what the average church is able to represent with in the Conventions. With these above conditions as stated, make the Western Field, a great consideration. Many subjectives have been offered to better these conditions, but none as yet (Continued on page 3) St. Mark M. E. Church, Rev. W. C. Conwell, Pastor Velma Day, Reporter Service for Sunday Aug. 21, was introduced by the splendid attendance of the Sunday School. At 11 a. m. Dr. D. G. Franklin delivered a wonderful sermon to a well filled house, Text, Rev. 3.8. At 3:00 p. m., Rev. Brooks, from St Paul A. M. E. Church delivered a wonderful sermon to a well filled house, Text, St. John 15:5. At 8:00 p. m., Dr. D. G. Franklin delivered another wonderful sermon to a well filled house, Text St. John 6 68. In the evening session we listened to The service for Sunday was wonderful. Total Collection $62.57. Five Cents Per Copy ASSOCIATION HOLDS GREAT SESSION Much rain and bad roads hindered the messengers from reaching Pratt, Kansas on the morning of the 16th of August. The afternoon session was taken up by the B. Y. P. U. Convention with Mrs. Carrie Anderson, presiding. The Motto: "Training For Service." The singing, the devotionals, president's annual message and the inspirational address by Rev. B. L. Marchant, made this a great session. The Junior B. Y. P. U., had charge of the afternoon session under leadership of Mrs. Phynola Cook. They sang. "A Volunteer for Jesus," for the opening. This proved to be a worth-while session with solos, addresses by Editor H. T. Sims, Mrs. Carrie Anderson and Mrs. Mae Buckner. All enjoyed Junior Demonstration on Missions. In the evening session we listened to welcome addresses from Mrs. Wynne on behalf of the church; Mrs Francis Miannis on behalf of missions; Geraldine Crayton on behalf of Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Rev. B. L. Marchant responded in an inspiring manner. The outstanding feature of the evening was the Missionary Pageant "The Light of The World," directed by Miss Nona' Johnson, and Mrs. Phynola Cook. They had the candles and showed how each get its light from another until all will have light. It proved very effective to the audience. Their songs changed with every scenery to give the thought of the play. Wed. morning devotions led by Rev. J. R. Martin and Newton Messengers. The music, the inspirational address by Rev. B. L. Marchant, and the sermon by Rev. J. E. Douglass and the talent fund rally made this a great session. St. Mary took the first prizes and brought away the silver cup. Wednesday afternoon, the Sunday School Department had charge with Mrs. Mae Buckner, presiding. She delivered a very helpful annual address. Then we enjoyed a Children's Hour, when the children brought another demonstration of Mission: 15 children represented five nations of the world, viz: Africa, Japan, India, China and the Isles of the Sea. They brought to us the fact that 42 million was spent for Jewelry, 34 million for laces and embroideries, 25 million for tobacco, 7 million for feathers, 6 million for cosmetics and gum. One boy represented the preacher of the Gospel, one represented the Missionary doctor, two girls represented the nurses, two represented waitresses and Miss Lorene Adams represented Miss America, who is waisting so much in luxuries, while the cause is suffering. The night session was marked with the memorial services of Mrs. P. H. Walton and others who had worked in this district. Moderator Hayes delivered the sermon on "The Teaching Ministry." Miss Jewel Brown sang a lovely solo, following the message. St. Mary again took away the prize for bringing in more special effort money. It was a beautiful doll. Thursday morning session was marked with departmental work. Children's Division Conference, with Mrs. Phynola Cook, presiding. Young Folks' Division Conference, with Mrs. Jewel Brown, presiding. Adult Division Conference with Mrs. Leona Gordon, presiding with Mrs. Carrie Anderson, presiding. Home Extension Conference with Rev. J. R. Martin, of Eldorado, presiding. Many phases of Sunday School work and problems were discussed by prepared workers for each department. Thursday afternoon the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Convention salf of the Chamber or Commerce, and Rev, Harper on benalf of the A. M. E. Church. Response by Rev, B. L. Marchant, Mrs. I. F. Batos delivered a very thoughtful annual address and Rev, B. L. Marchant spoke on the minor prophets.

(Continued from page 1) SHOULD BE CONSIDERED proved a success. It was, said by some, that if the Baptists on the small field were to give tithes as they say that is commanded by the Lord Jesus, that they will be able to care for a minister; this may be true in many places, but how can we expect for these to be tithes on there small fields with a pastor once in every four or five years and the churches who have pastors continuously fail to pay their twenties? Next, says that the minister should sacrifice their small salaries and raise the requirements of the State and District, when the officers of the various districts, who receive from one to two hundred a month, are not willing to sacrifice their railroad fares to and from the District meetings, nor any of the Baptist gatherings in the United States. Are we rendering to all, their dues? We must admit that the work; if it is to be accomplished at all, must be at a sacrifice, but the sacrifice of a few, will not justify the condition; so there must be a sacrifice made by all the Baptists in the State from the State Officers, the District Officers, Pastors and Members, in order to put over one large program for The Negro Star—for the good of the People!

WHEN YOU WANT THE BEST BUY PEERLESS BUTTER COPLEY'S Ice Cream made by WICHITA.CRFAMERY CO. Expert Job Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By RKV, P. W. FILZAWALK D. U., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (R. 1823, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for August 28 NATHAN LEADS DAVID TO REPENTANCE LESSON TEXT—II Sam. 11:1; 12 23. GOLDEN TEXT—A broken and trite heart, O God, thou will not despair. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Shows David Him Sin JUNIOR TOPIC—Nathan Calle David to Repentance. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- IC—Confessing and Forsaking Sin YOUNG PROPLIBL AND ADULT TOP IC—Repentance! What It Is, and What It Does. 1. Adultery (vv.4,5). He by his kingly authority brought Bathsheba, the beautiful wife of Urlah, one of his brave soldiers, into his harem. 2. Murder (vv.14-18). David sought to cover up his shameful act of adultery with Dahlsheba by calling Urlah from the field of battle and giving him a furlough at home with his wife. (He first gave him honourable recognition by sending a portion of meat from the royal table—v. 8.) Urlah's high sense of military duty and propriety would not allow him to do this. Falling in this, David corrupted him by making him drunk, with the expectation that Urlah would thus go home. When these schemes would not work he resorted to the terrible crime of exposing Urlah to the most dangerous place in the battle where he would surely be killed. II. Contributing Factors in David's Fall. 1. Idleness (11:1). It was the king's responsibility to go forth with his army to battle David tarried at Jerusalem because of indolence or self-indulgence. 2. He looked upon a beautiful wom an (11:2). As he was lounging in idleness, this temptation was too great for him. He yielded to his lustful impulse and sent his servants to bring the woman to him. This action on the part of David is absolutely inexusable. David had the power to turn from this sin and thus escape temptation. III. David Rebuked by Nathan, the Prophet (12:11:2). What David had done displeased the Lord (11:27). What he had done gratified his own carnal lust, but the serious thing is that it displeased the Lord. Because David was God's own, God could not let the matter rest. He therefore sent Nathan, His prophet, to him. 1. The parable of the ewe lamb (vv.1-6). Among the Jews it was customary to have pet lambs which were brought up with the children of the family and therefore regarded with tender affection. Nathan pictures before David a poor man whose sole possession consisted of one such lamb, and a rich neighbor when entertaining a guest had appropriated unto himself this lamb instead of drawing upon his numerous flock. This so aroused David's anger that he declared that the rich man should restore fourfold, and in addition forfelt his life. Nathan declared: "Thou art the man." In spite of David's awful sin, he had burning indignation against the wrong doer. 2. Sentence of judgment (vv. 7-12). Perhaps no history records an indictment so terrible as this one. (1) He recounted unto David God's peculiar favor (vv. 7, 8). God had taken him from the sleepcote and lifted him to the throne, made him king over all Israel. He had delivered him from Saul's murderous plots and he had inherited Saul's royal possessions. (2) David's shameful treatment of God's law (v. 9). He pointed out that he had violated both tables of the law by worshiping the God of passion and had practiced covetbusiness, robbery, lying and murder. (3) The awful judgment pronounced (vv. 10-12). The prophet declared that the sword should never depart from David's house. He had used the sword to slay Urlah. God in His retributive justice permitted the sword to remain in David's house. IV. David's Confession (vv. 1323). The confession of sin was so real to David that he declared that it had been committed against God (Ps. 51:4). He now was made fully conscious of his broken condition. He realized what it meant to be without innocence. Though he confessed his sin, as recorded in Psalm 32, and God forgave him, he had to suffer its consequence. "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall be reaap." The Coward To die in order to avoid the pains of poverty, love, or anything that is disagreeable is not the role of a brave man, but of a coward. For it is cowardice to shun the misfortunes and trials of life, not undergoing death because it is honorable, but to escape evil—Aristotle. Prayer, a Golden Key Prayer is a golden key which should open the morning and lock up the evening. Bishop Hopkins. B.Y.P U.LESSON DY REV. J. W. HAYES AUGUST .28, 1927. "Our Christian Colleges" 2 Tim. 2:1-15. Huldah the prophetess, she dwelt at Jerusalem in the college. A Christian College is an institution whose supreme purpose is to produce a leadership after the character of the man of Galilee. A leadership that can be trusted. It is a college that not only teaches Christian precepts but being possessed with the Christian ideal and spirit; mold character on the Christian pattern. That institution that finds God in Science, Philosophy, History: in every Subject taught, it finds the tread that leads to Christ. Paul in his message calls attention to Christian Education, or Education that is Christian. Be strong, Commit, Endure, Consider, Remember. Be Strong, turn on the power, the Power of the Church is no less, we are just slow in turning it on. Commit, pass on the glorious message to those who know it and love it, it can be trusted with none other. Endure, hold on, press on; see victory through defeat. Endurance is the test of character. Consider, do not reach hasty conclusions, think and reason. The thinkers are the wonder workers. Remember, the triumph of Jesus over death. Remember His victory on the Mountain, in the Garden on the Cross and in the grave.—"All Power." His word is boundless, unhampered, the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth (could not seize upon it) it not. St. Mary Bapt. Church REV. J. E.

It has dictated, for instance, that we must have three meals a day, whether it is hot- or cold, summer_or winter. As a result every woman knows what it is to suffer in a superheated kitchen getting dinner for the husband and the children—and when we say suffer, we mean nothing milder than what that word implies! To swelter over a range which radiates excess heat, and a variety of smells is real torture. It's a wonder that the women bless their patient hearts! haven't rebelled long ago at this, their greatest bugbear. But it isn't a bugbear to the woman who owns an electric range! Cooking by electricity is a revelation to the housewife who has never tried it.
