Really, it is a fine place for enjoyment. FARM AND HOME WEEK FARM AND HOME WEEK Nov. 24—The big "get together" known as Farm and Home Week for Sedgwick County farmers and homemakers and farm folks from every section of the state will be held at the Kansas State Agricultural College, Manhattan, from February 7 to 10, 1928, according to an announcement just made by the committee in charge of the coming event. Already the topics to be considered have been slated, and plans are under way to entertain the visitors who go from this county to attend the annual affair. As outlined by L. C. Williams, of the extension service, in charge of the program for the week. Tuesday, February 7, has been scheduled as Poultry Day; Wednesday, February 8. Dairy Day; Thursday, February 9. Live-stock Day; and Friday, February 10. Crop Day. An added feature to the general line-up of the program will be the school in co-opera- MEMPHIS WHITES PLACE BOMB IN NEGRO VOTE SCHOOL (Preston News Service) MEMPHIS, TENN., Nov. 21-It appears that there are a number of whites who are inclined to be filled with an undue amount of fear lest the activities of the Negroes in this city under the leadership of Lieut. B. W. Lee, a distinguished race man who has started a movement to organize the race voters of Memphis, and at the same time teach them the simple and rudimentary elements of citizenship and how to exercise the light of suffrage. Just prior to the last election more than a thousand men and women were assembled in the Overton-Davis school being taught how to vote intelligently, a group of whites, alleged to be unknown to the police, placed a bomb under the school building and set it off while the meeting was in progress. The explosion created considerable consternation, although no one was hurt. A meeting was going on at the same time in the New Prospect Baptist Church and a few minutes later a minor explosion occurred there frightening the attendants considerably. Police were notified of the trouble and started a search for those responsible for the disturbance. The bomb tore a large hole in the floor of the church. Some lifted the covering of the basement door and pitched the bomb into the cellar. Several months ago the Negroes of Memphis started this Americanization movement and when the whites learned that the Planned to mass their voting efforts with a purpose in mind of securing better housing, sanitation, lighting, police protection, as well as political representation in the form of appointments as clerks, etc., in the municipal and county offices, it is said that numerous diplomatic efforts on the part of the whites have been made to dissuade the Negro leaders from carrying out their plans of organizing the Negroes into a solid voting unit. The Memphis white papers attempted to make light of the situation by printing stories of how frightened the Negroes were of "skyrockets" and fire crackers apparently placed in the buildings by someone seeking to play a prank on the Negroes. Negroes declared that these cowardly attempts to deter them and their people from the purpose of racial solidarity has only made them a more determined set of citizens who will seek more ardently in the future to secure their full citizenship rights, and especially assert themselves at the pools on election days. Sheriff Knight said that the home was of the harmlers kind. He says that it may or may not have been thrown for political effect. That does not matter. It may have just been a political joke. Regardless of that there is room in the county jail for persons who do such dastardly tricks regardless of what political side they favor. This office will do all in its power to find the perpetrator. tive marketing scheduled for February 9, and 10. This is one of the outstanding features in agricultural development at the present time. National authorities will work in cooperation with the department of agricultural economies of the agricultural college in conducting the school. Housewives who attend the week of home and farm activities at their college will be entertained by the home economics division which will conduct a four day school laying emphasis upon hints to assist the housewife in making her housework easier. Recreation for farm women will have especial prominence on the program. During the week, prize winners in it's preserve wheat and corn growing contests will be announced. The annual livestock show will also be an attractive feature. Speakers of pri and national fame will be there to talk to the people from this county who attend the annual gathering. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Dec. 2, 1927. IN GEORGIA CONVENTION General Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia, convened Nov. 15-18, 1927 in 1st Baptist Church of Macon, Rev. G. L. Hartis, Pastor, acted as mediator between two hitherto hostile factions of the National Baptist Convention Inc., when Miss Annie H. Burrougns, Washington, D. C., noted educator and orator, President of the training school for women and girls at Lincoln Heights, D. C., which has been a bone of contention in each session of the National Baptist Convention for several years; and Dr. L. K. Williams, President of the National Baptist Convention and Pastor of the Great Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, delivered addresses in the city auditorium of Macon Ga., to an audience of five thousand persons. Dr. Williams had been very extensively advertised to deliver the chief address in the auditorium Thursday evening; while Miss Burroughs had been invited by the women to address them at 3 p. m., in the Tremont Temple Baptist Church; many white ladies listened to Miss But ough's address. While Dr. Williams was greeted by some of Macon's leading citizens. Miss Burroughs, who was not on the evening's program was introduced at the beginning of the meeting and received one of the greatest ovations ever given by the Georgia Convention. Denominational leaders believe the meeting of these two National chiefs in the Georgia Convention has healed the breach which occurred in Detroit, last September, when there was a controversy between Dr. Williams and Miss Burroughs over the control of the school over which Miss Burroughs presides, as a result of the Detroit meeting open fight is anticipated in the Board meeting to convene Dec. 1st. Dr. Williams is supported by Dr. Isaac of Tenn. Odom of Arkansas and Westbrook of of Indiana; Miss Burroughs' cause is espoused by Dr. Brooks and Dr. Lampkins of Washington, D. C. Rev. Sims of New York. Dr. Thomas of Illinois, Dr. Love of New Jersey, Dr.职位 of Pa. The fight may not get unleashed because of the good offices of Rev. P. James Bryant of Atlanta, who brot a wring factions together and for which he deserves much credit. The officers elected for the ensuing year are Rev. J. H. Nabritt of Atlanta, President; Rev. G. W. Harrison, Augusta, Vice President; Rev. D. I. Crawford of Atlanta, Executive Secretary; Rev. A. B. Singfield, Savannah, Recording Secretary and Rev. J. W. Whitehead of Augusta, Treasurer.

Gadon, Mason, Vice President; Mrs. Sarah Fisher Brown, Senior National Directress; Miss Hattie Harris, Junior National Directress; Mrs. W. F. McKinney, Atlanta, Pianist; and Miss Julia C.

Jenkins of Florida, Dr. Arch M. Cree of the Georgia White Baptist Convention and Miss Reed, President of Spellman Seminary delivered addresses during the session. Rev. L. M. Glenn of Savannah, Rev.

INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CO UNITY OF THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY It was our privilege to read a magnificent article in The Twenty Century Christian by Dr. Barton on the unity of a Christian Denominations. He was right on many things. It would be more economical, more power could be spent in the promulgation of the kingdom; the time lost trying to prove, who is right could be used in declaring Jesus was right. be used in declaring Jesus is right. He thinks creed or no creed, they should unite on faith. We agree that we should all unite on faith, but faith in whom? Great men, great denominations, great societies or on a Great God, a Great Son and a Great Holy Spirit, using fully their Great Program for the redemption of this lost world. Now, to get unity there must be a basic truth and the more truth revealed, the more concrete the union. We ask the all Christians to but let God be truth—then you will stop and say: Let all men be liars, see a oneness that will please the Heavenly Father. Their should be but one table, (the Lord's Table), one baptism, (the Lord's Baptism), one family (God's Family with the Jesus our Elder Brother), because there is but one God and one program. God never promised to conform His program to men, but commanded men to conform to His program, and as long as men will substitute for the real program of God, there will be separations, yes, multiplied separations, because everytime you can prove a defilement in any program, you are ready for a chance. Every man-made program is subject to a change. Let God lead, and we know we are going right. Christ never argued where the Pharisees, Sadduces or Enslues were right or not; He simply stated the truth and seekers of truth found it and rejoiced, but many for fame, man and society's sake went their own way. We say unite, but unite on the teachings of the New Testament, which is God's program, and the union will be eternal. You need not worry about the name for this united family. The Holy Spirit and the teachings will name it. Let us pray for union study for it, so we can hasten the coming of the Kingdom.

(Commission on Interracial Co-op-) BIRMINGHAM, ALA., Nov. 30—J. D. Burton, field secretary for the Alabama Commission on Interracial Co-operation, has just held the best series of interracial conferences ever held in the State. The attendance was larger, the leadership of both races more in evidence, the interest greater, and more definite tasks were undertaken than ever before. At Tuscaloosa forty-five persons were present, twenty-five white and twenty colored. After frank and full discussion the group set as its immediate objectives the promotion of boy scout work for colored boys and co-operation with the effort to secure a state-supported institution for delinquecat colored children. An adjourned meeting was called for the last Monday in November, at which additional objectives were set. At the conference in conservative old Montgomery, former capital of the Confederate Government, thirty persons were present, about equally divided between the races. The mayor had expected to attend, but was detained and sent a representative to speak for him. The committee decided to hold quarterly meetings. The committee brought out and published the facts that the present provisions for colored tuberculosis patients are wholly inadequate, an national beds and nurses be provided. The crowded condition of the Negro schools was brot to the attention of the city board of education, with the request that these conditions be relieved as soon as possible. The city commissioners were asked to provide playgrounds for colored children. A fine meeting was held at Mobile, with twenty-five present and a program was adopted calling for a new library, additional recreational privileges and facilities, and the provision of day nurseries for the children of working mothers. The Mobile committee has been among the most active in the State for several years, but it was felt that this was the best meeting since its organization. The Birmingham meeting was attended by thirty interracial leaders, and adopted a program asking for better street car facilities, better accommodations at the L. & N. Railroad station, and sanitation and improved conditions in tenant homes. A special committee of three was appointed to forward the objectives adopted. The general committee will hold regular quarterly meetings, and will meet also on call. The daily papers gave generous and appreciative publicity to all the readings, and the work of the committee received hearty external commendation. Five Cents Per Copy THE RIGHT "TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS" THE RIGHT "TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS" (Industrial News Bureau) The United States has been criticized as a country of freak laws. Our people may go wrong occasionally through lack of information or misinformation on a question of public interest, but in the long run they think straight and act straight, and the best evidence of this is the 150 years of growth and prosperity which our nation has enjoyed. The right of individual initiative and freedom from unnecessary restraint is inborn in every American citizen. For some time there has been an effort made to prohibit the ownership of small arms although the second amendment of the Constitution of the United States says: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Target practice and good marksmanship has been part of the life of the norma lAmerican boy. Legislation to prohibit this on the theory that it would reduce crime, is a mistake, for the criminal would still get his guns from sources outside the United States. As a matter of fact, most of the worst crimes are not committed with a gun. Hatchets, axes, clubs, knives and other instruments take a greater toll. In their honest desire to bring about law enforcement in this country, it is a question of whether the people will hastily adopt a measure which in the long run would make it easier for criminals to carry on their work. COURTESY IN AMERICAN RAILROADING (Industrial News Bureau) Mr. F. W. Robinson, Vice President of the Union Pacific system, in charge of traffic made some striking points about railroad operation in an address recently in Washington, before the Association of American Railway Ticket Agents. Among other things he said that in no branch of the railroad industry is its contact with the public more vital than between the purchaser of a ticket and the railway ticket agent. In this transaction the railway employee with whom a patron is dealing, is for all practical purposes the railroad, for the ticket buyer, to a large extent judges the railroad as the result of this contact. Mr. Robinson emphasized the fact that it is increasingly important that ticket agents have a better knowledge of railroad conditions than in the past, because the railroads have a more exacting public with which to deal because that public, during the last seven years, has been eudicated by the railroads to expect better service and it has been receiving better service than before. "A salesman of transportation," said Mr. Robinson, "must acquaint himself with the goods that he has for sale. You should know something of the attitude of your executive officers, their aims and ambitions for the property. You should know the condition of the roadbed, condition of equipment and something about the condition of your competitor's railroad, not particularly to disparity but to your advantage. "If a passenger wants information about a competing line, give it to him wholeheartedly. You will find that you will make more friends for yourself and your line by speaking well of a competitor, than you will by knocking him." The foregoing comment is a sample of the constructive type of executive ability that has been rebuilding the American railroad system since the war into the greatest, most accommodating and most human monitation system the world was seen. It rent sends real com- tition between privately owned railroads, under a practical system of public regulation which seeks to give the public the maximum of service while allowing the railroads and the investor in these properties a fair return.

Israel, the Favored Nation (vv. 1-7). Their unique relation to God is presented under the figure of a vineyard Observe: 1. God's peculiar favor (vv. 1, 2) God did for this nation what he did for no other nation in the history of the world. He evidenced it when he assigned the boundaries of Israel's inheritance (see Num. 241:13) He gathered out the stones when the Canaries were exterminated. The oldest vine which was planted therein was the Israelitish nation which had gone through the desol- pinary process in Egyptian bondage he built a tower in it when under David Jerusalem was made its cap- lal city. 2. The obligation of the nation (v. 2). The purpose of a vineyard is to bear fruit. The object of the husband in planting a vineyard and nurturing it is that it might bear fruit. The purpose of God in the selection and the blessing of the Israelitish nation was that it might bring forth fruit to his glory. 3 If here only wild grapes (v. 1) 4 This desolation of the vineyard (vv. 5-7) Since all efforts had been wasted, the owner of the vineyard now resolves to abandon it to the wild beasts of the forest. 11. The Clos Which Crought Rain to the Nation (vv. 8-23) The causes of this destruction are presented under six woes each woe pronounced against a particular sin. 1. Monopoly and oppression of the poor (vv. 8-10). The crime against which the first woe was denounced is that of the murious grasping after property which leads to the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the few. "Joining house to house" and "living field to field" means the sin of the greedy monopolist who in the agricultural district takes the form of the timid grabber, in the commercial centers, the form of the big men crushing out the small ones 2. Dissipation (vv 11-17). The sin here denounced is drunkenness. Several features are connected with this one sin (1) Drinking made the life business of some (v. 11). They get up early and continue until late at night, until their whole being is inflamed. (2) The effort to give their holish business a show of refinement (v. 12). This is why pleasing music is heard pouring forth from the dens of in famy over our land. (3) Blindness to God's warnings and judgments (v. 12). Their drinking and dissipation rendered them insensible to the dealings of providence. (4) God's judgments for such sins (v. 13, 17) They went into captivity. The immediate cause assigned is ignorance but it is a willful ignorance for which they are held responsible. They not only go into captivity but there to great mortality among those who drink (v. 11). The records everywhere show a much higher death rate among drinking men. Drinking degrades all classes (v. 13). The country itself was made a waste (v. 18, 19). So during do they become that they defy the judgments of the All mighty (v. 19). 3. Moral confusion (v. 20) This woe is pronounced against those who try to adjust moral conditions to suit their sensual appetites 4. Concelt (v. 21). The fifth woe is pronounced against the sin of self-concelt. Many today have become so affected by sin that they are unable to make moral discriminations. Having a false estimate of their own wisdom they plan and act without reference to God. 5. Perversion of justice (vv. 22, 21). The sixth woe is pronounced against those who are in places of justice as judges. Because of their lack of moral discrimination, and because of desire for temporal gain they cause justice to miscarry. Treatment of Sin Use sin as it will use you. Spare it not for it will not spare you. It is your murderer, and the murderer of the world. Use it, therefore as a murderer should be used.—Richard Haxter. Fear of Mistakes Some of us know what it is to be miserably afraid of making mistakes in our work. How graciously He meets this with "I will direct their work in truth."—Frances Ridley Haregial. B. V. P U. LESSON SUBJECT: "Paying Our Debtas." Israel had not only failed to keep God's ordnances, but had actually gone away from them. Notwithstanding, God loves her and pleads for her return. The people were robbing God with no feeling of guilt. The tithe had been withheld from the Divine Treasury and God's storehouse was empty. The whole Nation was guilty and God visits with His curse. They are to be brought to the store-house. Abundant blessings await the tither and he in turn will be a blessing. Here, as elsewhere, God's commands are coupled with blessings. Man's first duty is to God. Everything belongs to Jehovah, the earth and the fullness thereof. God's ownership, are the guide-posts of God's financial plan. While we cannot pay the Father for His gifts to us, but we can pay what He requires which is loving service to fellowman. Debts should be made with the uttermost care. They may be made in words but they must be paid in money. There is no such thing as outlawing an honest debt. How much do you owe? Would you pay if you could? Could you pay if you would? If the church is in debt to man and you are in debt to the church whose to blame? An honest man gets more joy out of paying a debt than in making one. St. Mary Raut. Church REV. J. E. DOUGLASS, PASTOR Sunday was a successful day, beginning with S. S., at the regular 9:30 with Assistant Supt., Bro. M. J. Jackson. Attendance was splendid. The lesson was wonderfully taught by the different teachers and was reviewed by Sister Minnie White. The Pastor was in charge of the evangelism period; 22 came forward for prayer. At 11 o'clock services, devotion was led by the deacons; after which the pastor delivered the message from St. John 4:6; words of the text, "Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well; and it was about the sixth hour." The pastor preached a powerful sermon. B. Y. P. U., at 5:30. The Union was wonderfully attended. Old Reliable had charge of the program, which was very good. They also won the banner for finance. At the 8 o'clock services, after a short devotion, the Pastor again delivered the message from Psalm 146; 5; words of the text "Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his God." The Pastor gave us a soul stirring sermon. The Holy Spirit ran like wild fire; seemingly everyone enjoyed a spiritual feast. Invitation was extended; seven came forward. Home Mission Frida y afternoon, at 2:30. All who can please come out. Total receipts for the day $83.87. RUBIE CRANE, Reporter. Rev. T. T. Addison, B. Th. Pastor Services Sunday, were par excellent. Sunday School at 9:30, was just fine; largely attended and good offering. At 11 a. m., Pastor Addison preached a special sermon to the women from Prov. 31:10; "Who can find a virtuous woman?" This was a masterpiece. He dealt with the life, character and worth or usefulness of women. Many were the hearers who sat patiently and with overflowing hearts and cheeks wet with tears as he poured out of his heart and mind in thundering tones, the message of God. Many wives were inspired to be better wive; mothers to be better mothers; fathers to be better fathers and husbands to be better husbands. This was a meeting which will live in the hearts of the people for many days to come. God grant that he will come to us again soon, with another such message. Next Sunday, he will preach a special sermon to the men. All of the men folks are requested to be present at 11 a.m. Our congregation is growing larger each Sunday. Our finances are coming in better at each service. Our membership is steadily growing. It are always welcome at Sardis. What is the matter with those feet?—See Dr.G. L.
