THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 38, TWO BILLS VITAL TO NEGRO INTRODUCED IN NEW CONGRESS (N. A. C. P.) NEW YORK, Dec. 9—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69th Fifth Avenue, calls attention to two bills introduced in the new Congress just met in Washington, of vital interest to Negroes. The first is the Dyer Anti-Lynch-11, introduced in this Congress by Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri as H. R. 5540. In view of President Coolidge's strong pronoundement on the "foul crime" of lynching and his strong recommendation that "the Congress should enact any legislation it can under the Constitution to provide for its elimination," the re-introduction of the Dyer Bill is of especial interest. The second bill is introduced by Representative George Holden Tinkham of Massochursetts as House Resolution 34, directing a report from its Committee in connection with legislation to reapportion Congressional representation. from the Negro. Southern States which disfranchise THE WEEKLY EDITORIAL (From The Advance, N. Y. Dec.'2, '27) A legal fight financed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and political pressure brought to bear by Negro residents of Gary, Indiana, have resulted in preventing the municipal government of that city from carrying out a policy of segregating Ne- o children from white children in the local school system. It will not follow from this incident that the Negroes will succeed in putting an end to white bigotry by these two means alone. Each fight develops its own methods of defense and aggression. The important thing is that rights must be fought for if rights are to be acquired or preserv- -hts are to be acquired or preserved. HONORED One of the most singular honors, yet shown one of our men, was the invitation extended to Rev. B. L. Marchant, Pastor of New Hope Ch., to read a paper before the Wichita Ministerial Association. Others of our men, including the writer, have been on the program; but always to discuss some subject relating to Negro Life. But Rev. Marchant was invited to present the subject: "What Should be the Attitude of the Minister Towards War?" But few times have any speaker been honored with a large attendance of the ministers. At the close of the meeting, most of the men expressed to Rev. Marchant, their appreciation—W. L. II. THE WAY OF LIFE The dull gray days march as one who lags, I often get weary, for my load is one that drags., As one who sleeps the lasting sleep, These blue days appear: Book of Life, To all the lagging moments and a storm and strife; Though funny are the kind of gifts his old world has to give: His old world has to give; For instance what it handed to me; Yet I am glad to live. —Composed by Elmer Berry IN MEMORY FORT SCOTT, KANSAS—One who is missed, Sister Louom—Troubles are over and you are at rest. Safe in heaven on Jesus breast and rest to her was sweet and dear, upon entering her home in heaven and walking the golden streets, with no sorrow nor pain. O how sweet we know she is now with the dear son of God, whose land we all hope to trod.—Written by a friend. Mrs: E. Wallace. ACQUIT WHITE YOUTH OF SLAYING NEGRO (Preston News Service) LITTLE ROCK, ARK. Dec. 9—Acquistal of Roy Smith, aged 21 years son of a prominent white family here on the charge of murdering Crawford Gibson, a Negro, May 27, last, followed deliberations of nearly and hour and a half after the case went to the jury Wednesday. IDENTIFIED BY VICTORI3 IDENTIFIED BY VICTIMS The prosecuting attorneys in their arguments discussed the testimony of Negroes who were held up the night Gibson was slain. They identified Smith's car as that which was used by the bandits, and several were positive that Smith was one of the pair. Their dying statement or Gibson at the hospital proved, the prosecution contended, that Gibson the victim of the same two who held up or attempted to stop others in the vicinity of the Sweet Home and Arch Street pikes. Smith was arrested May 23 at the Arkansas Foundry where he has worked for five years, when officers learned that the license number which the Negroes said were on the bandit's car had been issued to Smith 16. His automobile. Two indictments, one for robbery of Joseph Brown, a Negro, and another for assault with intent to Howard Love, Negro, are pending against Smith, who has been released on bond. What disposition will be made of them has not determined. Both of these alleged offenses were said to have been committed the night Gibson was murdered. Seldom if ever a Southern jury will convict a white man of committing any crime against a Negro, and it is rarely possible for the prosecution to secure anything near conviction if the state's main witnesses are Negroes.

RACE LEADERS IN WASHINGTON UNITED IN APPEAL TO CONGRESS RACE LEADERS IN WASHINGTON UNITED IN APPEAL TO CONGRESS (N. A. A. C. P.) NEW YORK, Dec. 9—Leaders of fraternal, religious, welfare, and civil rights organizations of Negroes throut the United States, meeting in Conference in Washington under aupices of the Elks, have united in an appeal to the Congress of the United States, to leaders of American people, for enforcement of the entire Constitution.

NY to say: It more Shopping best Places are in Church by John R. Hawkins. The appeal deeplores "the dangerous policies of those time-serving political leaders of any party or section, who are disposed to compromise with the sentiment that certain of our laws and constitutional provisions cannot be enforced because of the fact that a minority, is apposed to such laws and provisions." The appeal states that the 13th, 14th, 15th and 18th Amendments are as vital to the Constitution and "should be as honestly enforced as the 5th or 6th." The appeal continues: "In the last analysis white people and black people have a common interest in the sacredness and the security of the ballot and of all constitutional rights." Besides its meetings, participated in by Negro leaders, from every part of the United States, the Conference Headquarters, and met in a banquet called upon Republican National meeting the program in which all Negro organizations of the country are now co-operating. MINOR POLITICAL PARTIES FAVORED BY REPUBLICANS (COLUMBIA PRESS BUREAU) WASHINGTON, Dec. 16—In discussing the subject of constructive legislation as advocated by the Re- WISHES WUZ POP HAVE THE ELDER OF 'FATHER AND SON TEAM' One of the situation about which the Y. M. C. A. is most proud is the large group of successful business and professional men and their illustrious sons, who are loyal backers. It is this fact which inspires confidence in the Association on the part of the general public. People have faith in the judgment of men of affairs. Ex-president William Howard Taft has always been a friend of the Y. M. C. A., and his son, as indicated elsewhere in this, issue, is now an active national leader in this movement. They make a typical "father and son team" in their enthusiasm for the Association. As Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the U. S. A., Judge Taft is in a position to appreciate more than most folks the importance of "Y" activities. Said he: "We should feel proud of the Y. M. C. A. work so ably directed." St. Mary Bapt. Church REV. J. E. DOUGLASS, PASTOR Service Sunday was excellent. Sunday School at 9:30 with large attendance; lesson was wonderfully reviewed by Sister J. E. Douglass, who spared no pains in making the lesson practical. We were pleased to have Rev. Cooper as a visitor in our S. S., who gave some very time'y remarks. The pastor was in charge of the Evangelism period, at which time 12 boys and girls came forward for prayer. Invitation was extended; 3 came forward, two for baptism. At 11 o'clock services, after devotion, the pastor was in charge who chose his subject from Acts 10:10; chief theme, "The Convention of Cornelius." The Pastor preached a much needed sermon to a good attendance. At 3 o'clock the pastor and many members were in the mass meeting at Calvary, at which time Dr. Flemings, Field Secretary brought the message, which was very helpful. At 5:30 C. C. C., was opened by Conductor Bro. J. H. Baker. Our Union was largely attended. Ever Loyal Section No. 2 had charge of program, which was very good; they also won the banner for finance. Dr. E. M. Lawrence was a visitor in our Union. At 8 o'clock service, after short invocation, the pastor read for Scripture lesson, Hebrews 11:1-11. After which Dr. E. M. Lawrence brought a powerful message from Heb. 11:10, words of text, "He looked for a city, which hath foundation, whose builder and maker is God." Many visitors worshiped with us throughout the day. Sister Marie Jones passed away, Dec. 8th, after an illness of more than a year. Funeral held Friday, 2:30, Rev. J. D. Douglass, officiating. Mission Circle Friday, 2:30, p. m. publican party and its probable effect upon the minor political parties of the country, Ryan's Weekly, a labor journal, published at Tacoma, Washington, says: "All constructive legislation, as advocated by the various minor parties of the country, has been put over by the Republican party. While local option has made much headway in the South, yet the democrats have done nothing to make and keeping the Nation dry, making and keeping the Nation dry. "Organized labor has received no consideration at the hands of the democratic party, and in the South it is everybody's houn' dog; while, on the other hand, the Republican party has placed much constructive legislation in its behalf on the statute books of both the northern states and the Federal statutes. It is plain to be seen that the advocates of the minor parties of the country have received far more consideration at the hands of the democrats; and they are to choose between the two, it is perfectly natural for the most of them to choose the Republicans and give them a sweeping victory in the next Presidential contest." Five Cents Per Copy CHAS. P. TAFT, SPEAKER AT WASHINGTON DIAMOND JUBILEE CALLS "Y" CURE FOR CRIME Character building, with a religious foundation, as exemplified in the Young Men's Christian Association, is the best possible cure for crime, Charles P. Taft, 2nd son of Chief Justice Taft, declared before nearly 6,000 persons, including President and Mrs. Coolidge, gathered for the "Diamond Jubilee" of the Washington Association. Society, aroused to the menace of the crime wave, must strike at the root of evil, he said by taking active steps to improve the environment of potential criminal. Such organizations as the Y. M. C. A., are priving to be an adequate remedy for social conditions conducive to crime, the speaker stated. Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft were in the Presidential box and many enjoyed the rare sight of seeing the President and the only living ex-President and Mrs. Coolidge showed more than passing interest in the words of the speaker. His father and mother beamed with pardonable pride when Charles Taft was applauded. More than a score of foreign diplomats and a number of the cabinet members occupied boxes for the celebration, in which large delegations from many of Washington's civic social educational and religious organizations joined. Mr. Taft has been actively connected with the Association movement as an influentian layman ever since his college days. He is now a member of of the Generay Board of the National Council of the Y. M. C. A., and at the last international convention of the Association served as the presiding officer. He is prosecuting attorney of Hamilton County, Ohio, although only 10 years of age. Mr. Taft told of his boyhood in the White House and his great ambition to learn to swim. He said Y. M. C. A. offered the only opportunity near his home, and it was an attraction not to be denied. Consent of his father at the same time meant Presidential permission, but it was obtained, and he joined with the newsboys and messengers in enjoying "dips." His interest in the Association grew from that time on. Hugh A. Thrift, president of the Washington Y. M. C. A., in introducing Mr. Taft, disclosed plans of the Association to seek the erection of four new building in Washington. The buildings will cost, in some cases, as much as $450,000, he said. St. Mark M. E. Church. We were wonderfully blessed throut out the day, Sunday. The S. S., was opened with Supt. Sister E. G. Hyde, in charge, the lesson was thoroughly explained. Attendance was great. Devotion was led by B. G. W. Williams. The Pastor's text was found Matthew 25:14, 15, 16. He delivered a soul stirring message. It was enjoyed by all. Invitation extended; one came and united with the church. 5:30 the Junior League with the pastor went into session. Subject: "The First Christmas." The attendance was fair. At 6:30 the Senior League opened with the President, presiding. Topic for study was found Luke 2:14. Subject: Peace on Earth Among Men of Good Will." The evening devotion led by Bro. G. W. Williams. The Pastor took his text from Joshua 3:1. The sermon was enjoyed by the visitors especially. Total collection $18.72. There will be a Ten Virgin Rally, on Jan. 2nd, 1923, Admission and refreshments, free and every one is invited. CARL WASHINGTON, Reporter.

Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, DD., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (@. 1931, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for December 18 REVIEW: THE EARLY PROPHETS OF ISRAEL GOLDEN TEXT—God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past to the fathers by the propheth, heals, in these last days spoken by Kilo Son. PRIMARY TOPIC-What We Have Learned This Quarter. JUNIOR TOPIC-Great Men and Great Teachings of the Quarter's Lesson INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC-Lessons from the Early Prophets YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC-The Mission of the Prophets The method of review must always be determined by the genius of the teacher, the aptitude of the pupils and the particular grade in the school. For the adult classes three methods are suggested. 1. Biographical. During the quarter all great prophets have been under review, namely, Elijah, Elisha, Amos, Hoseen, Huggal and Isahal. Assignments of these characters to representative members of the class should be made the week before so that they may come prepared to present the vital characterisation of these men II. Application of the Prophetic Messages to Modern Life. Assignments should be made the preceding Sunday so that the members of the class may come prepared to make application of the vital messages of the prophets to the affairs of modern life. The following questions may be considered as representative: What application can be made of the prophets' teachings as to: (1) The land question in the United States, (2) the problem of pamperism (3) the problem of capital and labor, (4) light on the theological controversies of the present time, (5) a message for the modern woman, (6) the cause of prohibition (7) modern amusements, (8) modern church life. III. A Summary of Facts and Teachings. Lesson for October 2. The basis of decision as between Isaiah and Jehovah was that the true God should answer by fire. The leading lesson is that accepted service is the supreme test, enabling men to choose between Christ and heathen gods. Diljah, who was brave before Bual's prophets, was frightened by Jerebel's threat and ran away. He failed at what had been his strong point. Lesson for October 16. Ahab coveted Naboth's vineyard. Jerebel schemed to destroy Naboth so that Ahab's petulant desire might be gratified. Judgment fell upon both Ahab and Jerebel. Lesson for October 23. A prophet is one who speaks forth God's message. When Isahah had a vision of the Lord and was cleansed from sin, he was ready to go at the divine bidding. Lesson for October 6. Anos was called from the humble occupation of a shepherd and tradesman to fill the prophetic office. God is not dependent upon any school or system of training for the supply of his workers. Lesson for November 6. Though the nation had grievously slammed by worshiping idols, oppressing their fellow men and persecuting the prophets who spoke against them God invited them to return to Illum Lesson for November 13. Israel's apostasy was illustrated by Moses' unfaithful wife. In spite of their wickedness God loved them and plied with them to return unto Illum Lesson for November 29 Isaiah pointed out the moral state of the people, exposing their ingenuity, stupidity, and habits of evil, and showed them that although God had severely chanised them, their case was not hopeless. Lesson for December 4. Isaiah reminded Israel of God a peculiar favor under the figure of a favorite vineyard. He pointed out the sins which brought their ruin. The outstanding sins were oppression of the poor, drunkenness, proud self-conceit and perversion of justice. Lesson for December 11. Through Isalah's long ministry he was privileged to give counsel to several kings. Sometimes it was counsel of encouragement, sometimes of rebuke. To Ahaz he gave counsel of assurance, pointing to a day of deliverance and blessing through Immanuel. When Iszakiah fathed the crisis of invasion by the Assyrians, he resorted to the house of the Lord and sent for Isalah. A marble cutter, with chisel and hammer, was changing a stone into a statue. A preacher looking on said: "I wish I could deal such clanging blows on stony hearts." The workman made answers: "Maybe you could, if you worked like me, upon your knees."

L. GREER, Prop. Independence Notes Dec. 3, 1927—A great Union Revival, is now in progress in Independence, Kansas, being conducted by Rev. P. D. Skinner, D. D., State and National Evangelist. The revival wave is sweeping Independence, this week. Because of the united efforts of three leading churches, in the city, namely; The Maple Street Baptist Church, Rev. C. Teal, Pastor; the Saint John M. E. Church, Rev. Walton Brown, Pastor, and Quinn's Chapel A. M. E. Church, Rev. Dr. J. A. Broadax, Pastor. The other churches are co-operating in the great Soul-Saving Program. The organization has been wisely perfected, and the workers are taking hold of the work with an earnestness and determination that is eclipsing all past evangelistic efforts in this city, and every part of town is being awakened, and the concensus of opinion both of pastors and people is that they have never witnessed such plain, pungent and powerfully effective preaching of the simple Gospel of Christ. before. The attendance is increasingly large, and the interest is fervent and stirring. The afternoon Bible studies are well attended and the pastors and people say they are strictly institutional; and helpful beyond description. These pastors are enthusiastic over the meeting and free an sincere in their co-operation; they are sparing no pains in giving their unstinted support to the Evangelist for they say this is to be no sham battle. The opening gun on Faith and the Systematic Organization was fired on Monday night the 28th of Nov., and the Battle was on; and the firing has been rapid and incessant ever since, and will continue for two more weeks if not longer.—Reporter.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, has received a report from David H. Edwards, President of the Norfolk, Virginia, Branch of a legal fight being conducted to prevent the execution of Shirley Winnegan, a Negro, who was sentenced to death despite his having been previously declared insane by the Isle of Wight County Lunacy Commission. the case has created a political furore in Virginia, two officers, Commonwealth Attorney George F. Whitlet and Sheriff William Holmes Chapman having been defeated for reelection on the ground that they had removed the colored prisoner from the County and thus prevented a threatened lynching. Winnegan is charged with criminal assault and murder of a 14 year old white girl, following his release under bond, after having been declared insane. The jury conviction of the Negro is held unlawful and his execution is being contested on the ground that he should not have been released from custody after being declared insane. Mr. Edwards announces that the N. A. A. C. P., is organizing a Citizen's Committee composed of outstanding persons in the various cities of Virginia, to contest the sentence of death, execution having been set for January 25, 1928. The case has brought sharp criticism of the Virginia system of dealing with mental defectives, one white editor declaring: "In so far as the State of Virginia tolerates this non-professional and extra-legal setting at naught of the recommendations of its local lunacy commissions it is failing in an elementary duty both to a class of defectives that are entitled to its care, and to the people at large who are entitled to its care, and to the people at large who are entitled to protection against them." Kansas City, Kan. News METROPOLITAN BAPT, TEMPLE Services were good all day. Notwithstanding zero weather, a large congregation was present. Dr. Ironson preached at the morning service.

D. 710 Freeman Ave Kansas City, Kan. School nurse says all girls should know this TALKING to a roomful of high school girls on personal hygiene, an experienced district nurse said: "One of the basic rules of health for girls is to keep the system functioning naturally at all times. Normal exercise and diet habits should be encouraged. But when necessary there's no harm in taking nujol, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol should always be taken." Take a spoonful every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or gas pain or gripping." Nujol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are feeling because it is so pure and harmless, and works so easily. Every woman should keep a bottle on hand. Every druggist has this remarkable substance. Get the genuine. Rev. P. L. Riggins preached at the evening service. The Pastor administered the ordinances of Baptism and the "Lord's Supper." The scenes were very impressive in spiritual significance. Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., were largely attended. Next Sunday at the morning worship, Dr. Bronson will preach on "Victories Through Faith."

In conclusion the Governor says: "The peace and good order of the state should be maintained at all hazards." Coming so soon after the recent lynching in Maury County, the statement is taken as an outgrowth of that occurrence, which it is said could easily have been prevented had the local authorites brought the matter promptly to the attention of the Governor or taken other reasonable precautions. Governor Horton's statement is clearly in line with the policy of ols predecessor, Governor Austin Peay, who did not hesitate on occasion to take vigorous action for the prevention of mob violence.

TRUTH REV. A. H. HENDERSON The truth is light in our life Despite the darkness that comes of strife the lie, It takes a hold upon the youth And direct his tongue to speak the truth. It makes for the Nation, a better throne For Princes and Kings to rely upon It sets a standard in the world For the adults, the boys, and girls, When confusion ever abound, Tell the truth without a frown, You may not know, but you will see That the truth alone will set you free. Truth is a life that men should live It has all happiness one could give, If you have failed from your youth, Begin today to speak the truth. Cherryvale News Notes BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Wm. Thomas, Pastor. Sunday being somewhat slippery, services (considering) were very nicely attended. S. S., at 10 o'clock; opening by Pastor Thomas acting Supt. Lesson taught by the teaching staff, and reviewed by Pastor Thomas. At 11:20, after short devotion, Pastor Thomas brought to us a very instructive message from 2nd chapter of Paul's Letter to the Phillipians, 5th verse; subject: "Likeness to Christ," We are told that Christ has left us an example that we should follow His steps and that we are under obligations to walk even as He walked; that is to live as He lived; this walking and living refers chiefly to conduct and behavior, but in the text, our attentions are directed to that state of mind; in Christ, that was the inspiration of His conduct. He acted as he did, and felt as He did, we are required to be like Him. This is the doctrine of the text. THOUGHTS: 1. In what respect we should be like Him. 2. In His self-sacrificing love. 3. In Humility. 4. In returning good for evil. Mrs. Bessie Lett who has been here for the past two weeks, has returned to her home in Coffeyville. The West Side Emb. Club of Independence, met at the home of Mrs. McCullough, 1120 West Laurel on Thursday afternoon; a delightful luncheon was served by the hostess. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Cleo. Pruitt. The Girls' Vanity Fair Club will be entertained with a Christmas Party at the home of Miss A. Alta Washington on Tuesday evening, Dec. 20th. 1927, 808 Edison. Death knocked at the chamber, of Mr. Chas. Neal on Saturday night. Mr. Neal was a very old resident of Cherryvale, father of Mr. Will Neal, husband of Mrs. Hester (Wheaton) Neal. Rev. C. W. Brown was called to Parsons, Sunday morning by the serious illness of his sister in law, Mrs. Johnson Brown. Jack Johnson was an Independence, visitor, Saturday.

THE WICHITA BRUSH CO. JANITOR SUPPLY HOUSE ceived the banner. Evening Service, 8 p. m. Devotions led by Deacons; Scripture lesson by Pastor Thomas brought to us another message from God found Acts 1: 8. subject, "Spiritual Power." Jesus had risen from the dead and had given His apostles, infallible proof of His resurrection, having instructed them for 40 days concerning the Kingdom of God. The time of His ascension was on hand. It seemed that in His last interview with his disciples, they wished to be restored to Israel, He rebuked their curiosity saying, "It is not for you to know the time nor the season. (Acts 1-7) He, however,' told them what was of far greater personal interest to them, but you shall receive power. This is a repetition of His idea expressed in Luke 24:49. THOUGHTS: 1. Inspirational knowledge of the Grace of God. 2. Faith in unseen and eternal things. 3. Faith in Christ. 4. Faith in success of effort in the Lord's Cause. 5. This power comes from the Holy Ghost. 6. We should earnestly pray for the Spirit. Luke 11:13. Funeral services for Charles H. Neal who died Saturday nite about 8:30 o'clock at his home, 719 West, 3rd St., were held, Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Bethlehem Baptist Church. Services were in charge of the Rev.

Douglas SMITH WOULD UPHOLD 'WHITE SUPREMACY' SAYS FLORIDA DEMOCART --- (WASHINGTON, Dec. 16—Calling upon Florida and the democracy of the South to support Governor "Al" Smith of New York, should he become the Democratic nominee for president, next year, John S. Beard, of Pensacola, Florida, former "Advance agent" of the late William Jennings Bryan, is quoted as saying that there is not a possible doubt but that Smith would get the solid electoral vote of the South, if he is nominated. "Because," continues Beard, "the South has not forgotten the dark days of reconstruction. The South that absolute white rule and preemacy in the South demands a been, and always will be a white solid white party, and that the democratic party is now, always has man's party." WHY WOMEN WORRY WASHINGTON, Dec. 16—Negro women, who form a substantial percentage of the female wage caners of Ohio, will be interested in a report upon the "Trend of Women's Wages," in Ohio, which shows a discrimination in pay in favor of the opposite sex. The survey, which was made by the U. S. Women's Bureau, states that more infor- Buy where your patronage is solicited. mation about the great differences in the wage scale between men and women workers has just come from Ohio, where a study of the trend of payment for both sexes, based on figures of the Division of Labor Statistics of that State in 1925 has been published by the Information Bureau on Women's Work of Toledo. These figures show that of a total of 1,053, 560 men, nearly 71 per cent were paid at rates of $25 and over per week; while of a total of 231,112 women, less than 16 per cent equaled that amount. Of all the groups studied, the wages of women in clerical positions compared most favorably with those of their male fellow-workers, but even here the percentage of men receiving $25 a week and over was almost two and a half times as large as the percentage of women receiving that much.

The mid-winter session of our Executive Board Meeting in New York, was good. The pastors united and gave us splendid entertainment. We happened there when Drs. W.

A long time ago, a man was anxious to keep the rates out of his smoke house, so he sawed a hole in the door through which the cat might enter, and then it occurred to him that the kitten might go in also to aid the mother cat in her battla against the rats. And yet there was another man whose barn became infested with rats and in order to rid himself of them he burned the barn. It never occurred to him to fight the rats, so in burning the barn, he did not save himself from his enemies—the rats. We must fight wrong but don't destroy the right to do so. We should love and respect those who serve us faithfully but never put any man above the cause. Men come and men go, but Causes live on. As I go about the country, I note with grief that many parents are letting their children run wild. Spoil your child and make him hated by others also get ready to follow him to court, and maybe worse, and then yourself go to an untimel grave from shame and a broken heart. Take up the slack and enforce home discipline. See that every child goes to Sunday School regularly. This habit will aid in forming character and will go with your children through life.

BLACK AND BLUE ALSO BLACK vs YELLOW for WHITE This famous phrase goes back eighty years to the time when an American ship in the Yangtz, without authority from Washington or even a notice of belligerency to the Chinese, responded to the impulse of race solidarity and joined with the British forces, in a battle of the opium war. The phrase had a curious illustration recently, in Shanghai, which shows how "blood" becomes merely an arbitrary symbol. Two American Missionary women were held by a unionized rickshaw coolie, to compel payment of an exorbitant charge. He had forcibly detained one of them when an American Negro came along, saw the situation, promptly knocked the coolie down and proceeded on his way. He was not going to have "his women" treated in that fashion. There are strange complications in relations between races! To my nothing of our social obligations to the Chinese coolie, should we not stand by the Negro in his country when he is so unfalteringly loyal to "his own folks" in every situation.—Dec. 8, 27.

After all business, a delightful lunch was served by the hostess and all enjoyed themselves, declaring Mrs. Webster one of our finest hostess. Missionary, educational, and benevolent enterprises must be fostered by believers in the Kinkdom program. In the days of the Apostles, the matter of Church financing seemed to be more simple. There was a common treasurer. They had all things common. Common faith, common possessions, common purpose. This unity of purpose made the Apostles great in their declaration of the Gospel. Mrs. Jewel Benson, President, Mrs. Albertha Graves, Secretary, HOW THE CHURCH SPENDS OUR MONEY. Acts 4:32-37 In the early Church classed distinction was virtually unknown, so How the Church spends the Lord's money is as important as how it gets it. It is well that the objectives for which the Church needs money, be clear. It does not require unusual intelligence to see the purpose for which the Church needs money. She must have equipped buildings including Bibles, Song Books, and Library. Building should be adequate for our physical, social, mental and spiritual program. Further, it should have such paid help as is necessary for proper functioning. R. Y. ALEXANDER 2055 N.

It would be well for each Christian to know the object for which he is to give his tithe. The objectives should be clear and kept in mind, and the percentage of the tithe which each receives should be known. The tithe is the minimum, included of course, in stewardship. The store house to which we are to bring our tithe, should be handled by men of grace and grain. For the spending of money is perhaps more telling on DER LUMBER rence Ave. rket 304 , Kans.
