This was one of the greatest meetings in the history of the Con- vention, The President, Mrs, Wm. Smothers is an untiring work- er and is really bringing things to pass, Some features of the Con- vention were the devotlonal topics cn, “The Pre-eminence of Chriat In Missions,” which was fully discuss. ed, The Scripture Exposition on the Beatitudes by Mrs. G, D. Saunders of Atchison, Kansas and the Chart Demonstration on Missions by Dr. H, B, Bronson, Kansas City, Kans. were very instructive and highly ap- preciated. | The educational hour was conducted by Dr. E.

It was thru the efforts of our worthy president, Mrs, Wm. Smoth- ers, that we were able to enjoy such a treat. She having completed her course at this past Summer Assembly thought to inspire others and brought the Assembly to the Convention in the form of this demonstration by the Juniors. It was highly appre- ciated and complimented to the high- est. The sermons by Rev. M. J. Smith, of Ft, Scott, and Rev. Geo, McNeal, of Kansas City, were inspiring, soul stirring and were listened to by an appreciative audience. Mrs. Emma Gaines, State Presi- dent of W. H. & F. M.

Anotiler BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE NICODE-. MUS SUMMER BIBLE SCHOOL The Nicodemus Bible School was organized by our pastor, Rev. Jas. Moore, in 1924; for the purpose of | better preparing religious leaders and teachers to meet the demands of modern church. The beginning however was very small and was thought by some to be a aueless in- stitution, ‘The attendance were the children from 8 to 14 years, thelr Bible stories, sand table demonstra- atudies were the Bible and its Books, tion and music, Tue first demonstra- tttn was made in-the Smoky Hill River District Association, which was held at this’ place in 1924 SECOND YEAR—1925, The school grew larger and more studies were added for the little folks; Bible Al- phabets, sand table demonstrations, and Bible Stories Dramatized. For Psalms, Divisions of the Books of the Juniors, Lord’s Prayer, Twenty-third Bible, Picturing coloring and muale. THIRD YEAR—1926, The schoo? had grown with leaps and bounds at this time, the school had incress- ed to 93 in attendance and all appear- ed to be interested, Two visiting scholars: Amos and Francis Thomas of St. Joseph, Mo. and many, came through intense heat, with their pen- cils and note books, to be informed of the Great Creator, and better meth- ods of church life. The studies: Lit- tle people: Bible alphabets, and Bable Stories, and singing. For Ju- niors and Intermediates: Five les- sons in Memory Work, five lessons. in Bible School History, five lessons in Bible Geography and Music. The first Bible School Commencement was give in July, 1926, Cards and stars were given as a reward for remembering The Lord's Prayer, the 23rd Psalm, The Ten Command- ments and the Bocks of the Buble. Those passing were Emma Williams, Detna Williams, Amos Thomas, The- ressa Williams, Velva Vaughn, Fran- | Thomas, Novel Vaughn, Beulah Roberts, and Howard Bibbs, FOURTH YEAR 1927—Was the greatest in the history of the school, —Instead of the Juniors and prima- ries, we had some of our elderly nothers, to whom we point with redit: Sister Rogle R. Clark, snd Sister Ella Bridges, who was a great help to the school and Sister M. E. Thomas who taught the primary de- partment, with great success, Mra. Dla Wilson, public School teacher. The studies consisted of six lessons m “How to Study The Bible" Six essons on “How to Teach The Bi- le.” Six lessons on “Bible Struc- ure; and six lezsons on “B. Y. P, U. fethods.” For Primaries: Baptist Young People’s Catechism. The Commentement Program will eo given at First Baptist Church, riday night, Sept. 2, See program ter.

It seems that where churches fillow giving entertainments to raise their expenses, they might also give them to raise their mission money, Neosho Association has paid on its budget of $100000, $164.15 direct thru the Association and beards; and is planning to cover more of ita de- ficit at the Convention in October.

However, wo are not Christians because we bridle our tongues but we will bridle our tongues because we ate Chiis- ‘uns.

It is easy to do the will of God when we have the love of God. Wellington Notes, on SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH WILLIAM McILVEEN, PASTOR VWs Sea Sunday was a high day all day.

PAUL NOTES There was a splendid attendance and an interesting study and review of the lesson at the session of our Bible School at 9:30 a, m. Our Pastor, Rev. ©. E. Brooks, preached a wonderful sermon at 11 a.m. He spoke of the Christlan duties and pledges to keep tle Com- mandments and of their power and influence upon the world by letting their light shine, as an example of a Christian life. Rev, Brooks preached again at the evening services, —s—- In my Sast installment I spoke of a colored woman who has achieved a unique success being the only woman in the world who built, operates, and owns the water works of a city. In this article I want to speak of the success of a colored man who made a notable achievement in the heart of the South, rising as he did from chattel to capitalist. Alonza Franklin Herndon, whe 1. cently died at the age of sixty-nine in Atlanta, Ga., was born in the back. woods of that state as a slave when Sherman broke the backbone of the rebellion he joined the tide of migra tlon toward Atlanta, then arising, Phenix-hke, from its ashes, At the age of twenty-one this boy was mak. ing only ten dollars a month, One night he visited the First Congrega. tlonal Church of Atlanta, and hear germon by the Northern pastor, 2 graduate of Yale, on industry, tem perance, and thrift as requisites for prosperity, Being famihar with an other type of sermon dealing in hell: fire and pearly gates, he was struck by the quietness, dignity and com: mon sense of this one, and decidec to try out the prescription, Wher he died, the other day, he was worth far beyond a million dollars, and h attributed his success to that ser’ mon, ‘ It would be interesting to note thi steps of his prosperity, He begat with a single barber's chalr, Hi main shop today in Atlanta, locate on the principal street of the city with its twenty-four chairs, is sai to be the finest in the world, It wai The Negro Star—For the good of the People this shop at which the recent barbers bill in Atlanta was aimed, by which whito barbers would secure an ad- vantage ever the colored. Ife began with a single plece of realty; today his estate comprises two hundred er more parcels of real estate, besides the Herndon Block, a modern office building. Not content with these in+ terests, he ventured out Into the in- surance business, and recently his company was rated as a millicn-dol- lar concern, doing business in seven different states, and employing over 700 men and women. He was born in a cabin; the home from which he was buried was one of the fineat In the city of Atlanta, he and his wife having traveled all over Europe for models for this suburben villa. Despite his prosperity, he never Jost his democratic simplicity, and was Intensely loyal to his people. He built hls magnificent home in thelr midst, as an ideal after which they might strive. Having known {n his youth the pinch of poverty, he was deeply sympathetic with the poor, and built a day nursery for the moth- ers, who had to go to daily toll and leave their little ones. Regarded as one of the leading business men of the city, he gave generously to all public enterprises, regardless of race. He was one of the largest givers to the Community Chest, Deprived of a liberal schooling, he gave his son the largest opportunity for mod- ern culture, and today, having gone through Atlanta University and Har- vard College, this son, who caught his father’s character, carries on the work that his ancestor began, ‘The news of his death was carried by the Associated Press throughout the country, and the exercises of his funeral stirred the city of Atlanta profoundly, white and black passing in tears by his bier. The commodious building of the First Congregational Church, where he got his initial in- spiration, was unable to contain even a small portion of those who desired to pay him tribute, The streets thru which the fifty cars of the procession passed to the Southview Cemetery, of which he, was president, were lined with white and black, and It required two trucks to convey the floral de- signs.
