Kansas, 1z4 are Negrocs., Yet th tctcendants of “Bleeding Kunsas’ raaintain rigid restrictions to keer these few colored students from ea- tering extensively {nto the life of the university, Race segregation at*Kansas Uni. versity has been brought to light by Mes. Marcet Haldeman-Juhus, witc of the Girard publisher. ‘The inves- tigation grew out of an article in The Crisis, written by a former stu- dent at the University, charging dis- aimination against the Negro. A szathing editorial against such a sit- uation followed In the Haldeman- wulius Weekly, with the result that Chancellor E, H, Lindley invited the «titer to investigate the charges, which he thought overdrawn. Mrs. Maldeman-Julius, while continuing her investigation in other Kansas Colleges, professed to find at Kansas University essentially the situation described in the criginal complaint. She found a bright side, too, she said, that seemingly the fact that the administration holds no brief against the students. To this, though there ia one glaring excep- tion: Negrocs ere not permitted to take their last two years in the Uni- versity’s medical department. No explanation of this ruling seems to have been made by the Chancellor or uny one else, The most glaring discrimination was found, however, where “the lne between administrative and student control becomes intermediate,” The enfeteria is frequented by about 25 Negroes and about 400 whites, yet the Negroes are segregated. The Touquet for most obvious and unfair prejudice was awarded the Univer- tity Athletic Association, for its dis- harment of Negroes from its activi- ties, Defense Is taken behind a Mis- sourl Valley ruling, but Mrs, Halde- yxen-Juhus scoffs at the alibi, won- dering why four schools should be permitted to dictate to six. She blames the athletic association for “doing more than any other one force..to promote race prejudice with all the ugly consequences that fpvanbly go with it.” —Clipped by W, L.

For his wents are fewer and he can endure To face the troublesthat he meets, Without struggle or strife he lives a life On pleasure’s golden streets, But suppose ‘twas our rower for just one hour To cast him from his mighty throne; With no foundation or occupation, Or nothing he could call his own, Why in such a city he'd louk a pity And all the Hight of hfe seem dim: Behold he'd stand a usefoss man for Inck of grit and vim, Yet, Isay aloud, 'tistrue, were proud of all our richest men, But still!

Be Jd) Call to World Brotherhood for Annual Week of Prayer By DR. JONN R. MOTT President of the World's Alliance of Young Men’s Christian Association The week of Prayer has ever ex. erted a great unifying and vitalizing influence among the Young Men's Christian Associations of the world The present year it has added sig. nificance because {t marks the begin- ning of the observance by the Asso- eiations of the Nineteenth Centena. ry of the Public Ministry of Jesus Christ, In accordance with the first and Incomparably the most impor- tant of the actions of the World Conference of the Young Men’s Christian Association at IHelsingfors, the Associations of all lands are asked to unite for the vital purpose of a three-year study of tue Life of Christ. What Ie more central in the life of our Associations than arresting and holding the attention of the young men and boys of the nations on the life, teachings, and work of the Supreme Figure of the ages and the eternities? Christ is in reality the organizing Fact around Whom the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion has been built, To Him our name and basis, our governing ob- Jectlse and guiding principles, our message and program, our very ge- nius and spirit, bear witness. He constitutes our sure anchorage and our infinite resource. The periods in the life of the Association Move- ment when this objective has been held in true prominence, and whicn His redemptive Gospel has been most faithfully proclaimed, have been the yeara of most enlarging and most enduring fruitage. If this ever ceases to be truc, the Associa- tions will lose their world-conquer- ing power, In this time of so much confused thinking and of so many conflicting voices, with resulting uncertainty and lack of religious conviction on the part of youth, great Is the need of present-day authentic evidences of the reahty and wonder-working power of the Living Christ. Let us, the leaders and m»mbers of the world-wide Associetion Brotherhood, give ourselves, therefore, during the coming Week of Prayer for Young Men to the very definite and earnest intercession that God Almighty may unite and use us all to usher in and carry forward the faithful observ- ance of the Nineteenth Centensry of the Pubhe Ministry of Jesus Christ, to the end that the triumphant apol- cretis may he realized for which our Tord Himself interceded wien Ho prayed that His followare al] micht be one that the world mizht beheve. est some of the tribes were in deal. ing with their fellowmen, Ile told that opportunity there was to spread the idea of the Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man.

The winner was carned to the Judge, the prize given, the crown put on and the name of the success- ful one, proclaimed to the great as- sembly, He was afterwards sup- ported in life, honored in death, and his name venerated from age to are. We must be Christians in order to run the Christian Race. We must pursue the course with patience and perseverance, Then we shall be crowned with glory, 1, Our commencing this race: It fs not any race but it {s a particular one. The race set before us, The course of the world {s a course of sin, There is but one way to heaven, Christ is the way taught by patri- archs, prophets and apostles. Now, all who wish to run this race and get the prize, must herein well and go on well if they would end well, We must Jay aside every hindrance that would impede our progress, The ancient racers used to put off some of their clothes and everything that would prove a weight or impediment to running. So must we. The rich- es, and cares, the maxims, and cus- toms, the company and amusements, tte nleasures and influences of the world are dead weights to the Chris- tlan racer, 2.

IN REPLY WICHITA, Noy. 12—I notice a very fine article in the paper, Nov, 11 concerning the singing of Negro Spirituals by C.

Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By RAY P. R FITZWATER DD, Duane Mnoily Bible Institute of Chicago) (© 1927, by Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for November 20 MICAH CHAMPIONS THE OP- PRESSED LESSON TEXT—Micah, chs 2, 8 and GOLDEN TEXT—What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with the God. PRIMARY TOPIC—What God Wants Us to Do JUNIOR TOPIC—What God Requires of Us INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC the services of Us IC—What tided Requires of Us TOOEN PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Prophetic interpretation of iteliphion. Mahal prophesied during the reign of Jothan, Alaz and Hezekiah, in Judah, but his message largely concerned Israel. He is called the prophet of the poor. He proclaimed impending dam upon the workers of unrighteousness and heralded the coming of the Messiah. I. Evil Workers Dencunced (2 18) I. How they worked (v. 1) Their evil work was not a matter of willpower, but of deliberate purpose (1) It was conceived in their mind they gave themselves to the desi- (4) They worked evil upon their boys. They used the quiet hours of the night white honest people were shopping for planning ways to work out their schemes. (5) They executed their plans in the morning light. Having power to carry out their schemes, they did what their wicked minds devised. 2. What they do (v 2). (1) They cover fields (v. 2) In this they violated the truth corn in moliment. (2) They violently take fields and houses. A conscious spirit will everuate in such deaths unless restrained (3) They oppress a man and his house (v. 2). My house is meant a man's deserved ants, the inhabitors of his property 3. Their punishment (v. 3) Against such evil doers God is de- vising a righteous distribution which will fall upon them with such weight as to humble them 11. Upon Whom Judgment Shall Fall (31.12). 1. The unfaithful ruler (vv. 1-1) 1 The untaintful rules (IV, 19) Because of love for the evil and hatred for the good the rulers merclessly destroyed the good. 2. The false prophecies (v. 26). They served for fire. As long as supplied with foul they prophesied to please the people. 3. The judgment which is to fall (v. 012). Jerusalem was destroyed because of the sins of the people. Just as the righteous retribution fell then we can be assured that there will be no escape from the coming judgment for those who destroy the people. III. God's Controversy (G.112) Wicked men may go on to a certain time with their schemes, but eventualy by the Lord's requirements shall be met. 1. The hills and the mountains called to bear witness against Israel (v. 2) 2. The guilty party left to state the case (v. 3). The King of the universe abdicates His rights and allows His sinning people to make charges against Him 3. God recounts His mercies unto the people (vv. 4, 5). Having paused for the charge and none having been brought, the Lord thrust home upon their conscience the memory of His great mercies. (1) He brought them out of Egypt than bondage (v. 4). He has done even more for us who were under bondage to sin and Satan. (2) Sent before them a trio of leaders (v. 4). Moses, the lawgiver; Aaron, the high priest, and Miriam, the prophetess were sent to hear witness. (3) Turned Balak's curse into a blessing through Balaam (v. 5) 4 God's requirements (vv. 6-12) (1) The great question "Where whil shall I come before the Lord?" The Jews could not deny the others brought against them by the Mighty (2) The complete answer (v. 8) a. "To do justice." Striet equity was to characterize all their dealings with their fellowmen b. "To love mercy." The heart was to be diligently set to do good to our fellows. c. "To walk humbly with the God. This means to recognize that we are sinners before God with no claim upon him except his pardoning love. Spiritual Power Spiritual power is developed in action, just as muscles are developed. The more we try to help others, the more firmly shall we be established and the more we shall grow.—D. J. Marvin. The only way to regenerate the world is to do the duty which lies nearest to us and not to hunt after grand, far fetched ones for ourselves —Charles Kingsley. B. Y. P U. LESSON B. Y. P U. LESSON LY REV. J. W. HAYLS NOVEMBER 20, 1927. "Appreciating God's Goodness." Subject: Text: Psalms 14:7. The author of this Psalm is unknown, nor can the occasion on which it was written, be given with certainty. It is believed that the Psalm was written after the return from Babylon; verses 2, 13, 14, and perhaps on the completion of the temple with a new to using it at the temple dedication. The Psalm is composed of two themes: I. Praises to God for His goodness to His creatures, generally and special praise for His goodness to His people. Hallelujah—Praise Jehovah, give thanks unto Him because the Lord doth build up Jerusalem. He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. He healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars. He only can count them and call them by name. His understanding is infinite. He lifts up the meek. He makes the makes the grass grow. He takes pleasure in them that fear Him. He strengthens the gate and makes peace. We should, therefore, give thanks and sing praise unto Him for what He is and for what He does. Take time to be thankful to God and teach a word of praise to Him. Stop the sin of ingratitude and try the grace of thanksgiving and praise to God. When we are truly thankful and sincere in praising Him we are in fellowship with His Son. St. Mary Bant. Church REV. J. E. DOUGLASS, PASTOR We were blessed with splendid services throughout the day; beginning with S. S., at 9:30, supt. and staff of offices at their places. Attendance was wonderful.

Total receipts for the day $101.00. RUBIE CRANE. Reporter. Calvary Baptist Church Each and every Sunday morning brings increasing inspiration to the church services at Calvary; the Ch. program, bit by bit is increasing in interest and momentum; thoughtful messages are being delivered by the Pastor, the Reverend Hayes, occasional visiting ministers and talented visitors. On Sunday morning the Pastor preached from the 1st Epistle of John, 9th verse: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." The importance, value and results of confession were stressed. On Sunday evening the second sermon in the services, was preached by the pastor, "The Church In Politics." Proverbs 29.2; "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." At the Bible School on Sunday morn. Mrs. Peterson, a representative of Friends' University spoke encouragingly to those present and reviewed some of her rich experiences in teaching Negro toys and girls in the South, fifty-nine years ago; She is now in her eightth year. Her discourse was very much enjoyed. At the young folks' meeting Miss Clough of the Wichita University, spoke on the contributions to the race by Negroes and exhorted the Negro to never give up the religion of Jesus Christ, for it was evident that their contact with Jesus was the source and secret of a wonderful and enviable success. She also cited the fact that there were several Negroes who had become nationally known as authorities in several fields: art, science, architecture, etc. To hear her speak is pleasure and inspiration.
