Mr. Scott reports that after the State of Kansas lost its case against Ira Kennedy and Juha Mooney, pub- Hc sentiment changed materially In favor of the two colored men, An- derson and Ford. Through the work of the N. A. A.C. P., and the co-op» erating white citizens, a situation was brought about whereby the County Attorney made a motion to diumiss the Anderson and Ford cas- es and this motion was sustained. Mr. Scott's report continues: “alec closed the Coffeyville riot cases, in 20 far as our organization is concerned, as I understand it, hero is yet pending, however, a ease of the City of Coffeyville, against Napoleon Anderson for dis- charging fire arms in the City of Coffeyville, on the night of the riot. As you will appreciate, the City of Coffeyville, will file that case and obtain a conviction in the lower court, in order that they may help out their, civil case, in which Ander- son is suing the City for tue sum of $10,000, I am goin to assist the de- fonse In that case, at the instance of ste local organization.” This orchestra numbers now from thirty-five to forty pieces, some of the members being seasoned players of several ycars' experience, among them being Oliver Jackson, violinist and popular soloist, and John Har- vey Wheeler, violinist, who during the school term appeared in violin recital and whose birlhant playing this summer at the National Associ ation of Negro Musicians made most favorable impression.

The Fallacy of Possession (Freston News Service) By Gerald Hamilton There is no absolute possession. that power you and I have to hold merely transitory—limited with definiteness yet it is only natural that we humans believe we do possess something or someone encey. Consider the mother who through a and nights protects and nourishes her child blindly saying in his face, "though you torture me can only last so long for this is me." then time enters. Ere long what as that mother's is no longer; she is her offspring slipping slowly surely from her and all her pite appeals are as chaff before a long wind. The desire to possess is embodied the creation of each of us but the ever never placed it there in the face of absoluteness. This belief, and I through the years, acquire; great is our acquisition that it isiation as part of the thing own. We refuse to allow the thought joint ownership enter our plans. Hence, we may clearly realize the fundamental principal underlying self at death. you and I have seen men who are d to be possessed by the devil, eir very actions bear out this— eir very dealing with their fami- or the world, apparently, corrobi- ate this statement. Then, when when the Gum Reaper, knocks at the inside, were we there we would ear the child-like cry—"Oh, God! we mercy on my soul." There's the husband who adores his wife. A good, clean woman. His mate, who has stood on the deck,atching with him as the barometer to their fortunes fell, degree by degree. This man has grounds on which to base his proud claim that he is his. Facts and actions he points to in substantiation of his intention. But is there absolute possession of her? Let's see—No man possess her power to link. If he owns not her thoughts, he is but a tangent possessor. What new he of the secret archives of her this fallacy of possession is a moving urge in life. Were you and I deprived of its power, we would pass when the cards seemed stacked against us. We'd reason, "well, sure, one cannot own absolutely, why sacrifice now?" But neither you nor I say that. Actuated by the be lief of owning in fee simple, as it Gen. Secretary.....Mrs. M. G. Glover, Chanute, Kansas Treasurer.....Mrs. F. Cohran, Fort Scott, Kansas.

Owing to inclement weather, Sunday, services were somewhat unattended. Sunday School 9:30, Supt. Carter in charge; lesson taught by regular teachers. Rev. Wm. Thomas, the Evangelist, was introduced and reviewed the lesson for 15 minutes. At 11 o'clock, devotion led by the deacons. Afterwhich Scripture lesson by Pastor Dazzy. The Rev. Wm. Thomas tlen chose his text and preached a wonderful sermon, which was enjoyed by all present. At 3 p. m., Pastor Danzy, accompanied by Rev. Thomas, rendered service at the C. M. E. Church and was much enjoyed by all. 6:30 p. m., B. Y. P. U. opened by President, Miss Young, as this was students' day the lesson was taught by one of the High School Students, which was inspiring to hearers. 8 p. m., devotion led by deacons; afterwhich, Scripture lesson by the Pastor, again. Rev. Wm. Thomas ascended the stand and took for his text, Acts 26:26; the sermon was inspiring. Services were well attended. It is sad to say, between 10 and 11 o'clock, a. m., Sept 25, one of Pawnee residents, and a faithful, permanent member of St. James Baptist Church, passed away, in person of Ero. Ray. He leaves to mourn the loss, a wife, and many relatives and a host of friends. The 30th of Sept., we closed out a wonderful revival which has been going on 10 days. We must say that this was indeed a great revival, carried on by the Evangelist, Rev. Wm. Thomas, Pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church, Cherryvale. Everybody who attended this meeting was helped; souls were saved and members and friends were strengthened by the wonderful sermons praached by Rev. Wm. Thomas. The entire town of Emporia, was made to feel better by this great Evangelist; we were sorry for him to leave us. We extend to him a standing invitation to Emporia.

Such questions as these were offered for consideration: Would the community be better or the worse should you move away? Would Calvary Baptist Church be better should any member withdraw? Would our wives be more or less fortunate should we (as husbands) die? etc. Do we live lives that count? Exhortation was given, that one should give one's self to the Lord before he is old or when young and serviceable. The Lord's Supper was administered on Sunday morning; testimonies were given also during the Lord's Supper. Pastor Hayes and several members are at Topeka, attending the State Convention, there.

The Negro Star—For the good of the People B.Y.P U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES The book in which our lesson is found was written by Paul when he was in Corinth, A. D. 58. The apostle pleads for a complete surrender to God. Self dedication is not possible but reasonable. Giving our bodies is a reasonable service. We are not to have as our, standard the World's ideals, which is the "standard of the flesh," but rather the Christ pattern. He tells us not to be self centered, not to think ourselves to be more than we are, remembering that our value is because of the fact that Christ paid for our redemption. Each individual has his own personality, office and gift, ever twins are not identical. Perhaps no two leaves on the same tree are the same. God is so rich in his resourcefulness that he does not need to repeat himself. He not only made each individual different, but gave each person his particular kingdom tas' As to our Youth: The gift of if youth is God's way of perpetuating the race and the church. It is not matter of giving the young people place in the local church, but rather helping them to fill the place in the church and world for which God has created them. Keep peace between the old and young. There should be no war between years. God has a service for all ages. Invest your life in the life of the Youth. Have faith and patience with, and a program for the young people. It reflects upon those of us who have seen two generations, to say that we were better than those of the last generation. We gave the world this bunch, it can be no better than its producers. God is doing his best (humanly speaking) with what we have given Him for the present generation. The thing produced can not be better than the thing producing it. Meet the challenge of young people not so much for what they are, but for what is possible for them to become. October 2, 1927: Why Have An Organized Church? 1. God is a God of Order. 2. It is a law of nature. 3. It is a conservation of time and energy. Organization is efficiency for service. It enables us to do the right thing in the right way and at the right time. The organized church is God in the world working through the local church (though imperfect) seeking to reconcile the world unto Himself through His Son. The hope of the writer of these humble notes is that by God's help that those who may at least have some interest in the effort may be touched by the great spirit of God to deeper devotion and a more earnest search after ultimate truth.
