Convention, was burned out recently, Mr. and Mrs. Owens have the sympathy of the district in this misfortune. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-Altho statistical data for the United States as a whole is not available, because about seven States do not acurately report the number and cause of deaths, it is interesting to note that in the accepted registration area which covers more than 83 per cent of the total population of the United States, there were 163,403 deaths of colored persons during the year 1927, or about 18 deaths each hour of a 24 hour day-a statistical summary which is sufficiently enlightening to show the mortality trend. Tuberculosis, all forms, accounted for 20,578 deaths; diseases of the heart took a toll of 19,505; pneumonia, all forms, carried away 12,902. No other specific cause of death exacted a toll of 10,000, but ranking in the order named the following diseases were the chief contributors to our excessive number of deaths. Accidents, cerebral hemorrhage and softening, congenital malformation and diseases of early infancy, influenza, cancer and malignant tumors, diarrohea and enteritis, principally of children under two years of age, and nyphillis. Homicide carried away 2,895 and there were 402 who took the suicide route. Cherryvale News Notes JETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Wm. Thomas, Pastor. S. S. at 9:45 opened by Supt.

Larimore, Director of Publicity of the World League Against Alcoholism, as follows: "Since the saloon has gone out of business there has been no more need for the mission. The misson of today is a mere downtown church. I remember of going to McCall's Mission in New York City, and seeing drunkards standing up along the sides of the walls. The first time I visited the place after prohibition there were only 22, including the workers, present. The last time I went, then were only 13, including the workers and myself. "I used to conduct six or seven funerals a month for poor, drunken men who had left no money for burial expenses. It's been a long time since I've had a funeral since the new liquor laws were passed." St. Mary Bapt. Church REV. J. E. DOUGLASS, FASTOR Sunday was a high day beginning on time with the S.

Simon was a teamster; several wagons were being used to haul earth, for the purpose of filling in a low place. Prisoners from the U. S. B., were leading the wagons and when John Cox, the driver of one of the teams, started to mount his wagon, that was standing near by, the mule team became frightened and started to run, and at the time a woman (white) was passing by on the ridewalk where the men were working; she was right in the path of the frenzied mules and did not see them approaching he-, Pvt. Simmons made a dash and plunged her to safety, but was too late to escape himself; the tongue of the wagon struck him in the chest and he went down; the mules badly mangled his body under their feet. He was rushed to the hospital but died within a few minutes. Pvt. Simon had served with the 24th and 25th Infantry and during the World War held the rank of 1st Sgt. He had about 12 years in service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 1928—That all white Americans do not share the views of Lothrop Stoddard is evidenced by the challenging article by Grace Richardson in The Messenger for January. The paper enoilted, "What Of It?" is a very masterly arraignment of the prominent Negrophobist who recently re-affirmed his racial fias in a debate with Prof. Alain LeRoy Locke in The Forum. Says the author, "It would be well for him to realize that his outlined future for the two races, principally the preservation and undefilement of the white race, will not be altogether the nicely patterned piece he has designed and that these fine hopes may be nothing but a delusion. Judging from the authoritative manner in which Mr. Stoddard speaks, it would be assumed that white America had been consulted into and that each member had stated 'that it will not abolish the color-line, will not admit the Negro to social equality, will not open the door to racial amalgamation.' Now I have no doubt that for those whom Mr. Stoddard is spokesman, this is exactly the essence of their attitude in the matter. But what a pity that Mr. Stoddard neglected inquiring of a few other white Americans! It is obvious that he overlooked the white parents of the four or five million mulattos in this country, to say nothing of those men and women who are not the parents of mulattos only by the grace of God or the use of bootlegged Margaret Sanger literature. Of course, these mulattos will be attributed by a large number of persons who are only half informed on the subject, if at all, to surreptitious affairs between black women and white men in the nature of alliason. True, a good many may be accounted for in this manner. But even this proves something. Where is the inherent Caucasian repugnance of the Negro race? For even in illicit love there generally is attraction. And, then too, the legitimate mulattos of which there are more than a few, cannot be easily ignored. "But after all, if we are absolutely honest with ourselves (if not the public) we cannot be sure that racial amalgamation would be to either the black or the white race, never having given it complete trial. It being a matter which never can be merely tried either there will be or there will not be racial amalgamation. And likewise, which ever principle wins, we will never have an indication from it of the measure of success or failure of the losing principle had it been the one chosen and followed." Miss Richardson's article is one of the holcast ever to come from the pen of a white woman and it breathes the spirit of the modern civilized point of view. She is an artist residing in Berkeley, California. The Messenger is a Negro magazine published in New York. NOTICE!

Jesus Ministering by the Sea (17:12) 1. Why He withdrew. It was be cause of the murders plotting of the Pharisees against his life. So violent was their fatred against him that they conspired with the Herodians whom they regarded as traitors to their nation and country, to put him to death. Their opposition was aroused when Jesus claimed to have power on earth to forgive sins (2:10). It grew in intensity when He mingled with publicans and slaves (2:13) and was fathed into a violent time when he set out to nought their false interpretations of the Sabbath law (2:2128). Criticism and burthens causes Jesus today to withdraw from our presence. 2. To whom He ministered (7.8) A great multitude, representing a wide stretch of territory. They came from Jerusalem and Idumaea on the south, from beyond Jordan on the east, and from Tyre and Sidon on the northwest. Jesus was the magnetic attraction—the hero of the hour. The interest of the whole country centered in him. 3. The result (vy 14-12). (1) So great was the pressure that lovers seemed endangered by the thronging of the multitudes. Some came out of curiosity "when they heard what great things he did (v. 8). Others came for physical benefit, to be healed of their diseases. To escape from the throng he ordered the disciples to secure a little boat for him. (2) The unclean spirits prostrated themselves before Him (vy. 11, 12) They confessed Him as the Son of God. They had no doubt about Hisidelity. This testimony He refused to receive because (a) the time for His declaration was not yet ripe. (b) They were not the belongs to make Him known. He would not receive tribute from such a source. He would be proclaimed only by those who loved and honored Him. II Jesus Ministering at Gennesaret (B. 52.54) 1 Jesus recognized (v. 54). The people quickly recognized Him because they had witnessed His mighty works. The feeling of the 5000 was doubtless still in their minds. Perhaps many of them had witnessed His works in Capernum and nearby places. They had doubtless heard Him touch also. He was recognized when ever He went. When He rules in the lives of believers today, those who come into touch with them recognize the fact. They take knowledge of them that they have been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). 2. The people ran to see Jesus (v. 55) they did not go about this in a half-hearted way. Those who really come into touch with the Lord Jesus Christ have called forth from them unusual energy. The degree of reality of our contact with Jesus is expressed by our enthusiasm. 3. They searched the whole region for those in need (v. 55). Those who were found to be sick and in need were carried in beds to Jesus. Those who have come to know Christ will go about earnestly seeking for the lost to bring them to Christ. It matters not what effort is required 4. They were made whole by ill touch (v. 50). The only touch which is needed for the healing of the human soul is that of faith. When the individual is brought into touch with him by a vital and living faith, sin is vanquished and sickness and death lose their power. Honor Honor is like the eye which cannot suffer the least impunity without damage; It is a precious stone, the price of which is lessened by the least flaw. —Dossuet.

"Remember Now Your Creator in the Days of Thy Youth." The church is the only institution thru which God is working for world peace. If good will is to dominate society those who would realize its dawn must invest their life in the church and spend that life in such service as will reproduce the life of Christ in the life of man. Life is too valuable to spend in making a living. It should be spent in making lives. If our goal is to make character much cannot be said for preparation. Paul's life is all but spent. He has been a builder of character in whose labor we have the finished product, Timothy, on whom the mantle now falls, and he has charged before God to proclaim the good news at all times and under all times and under all circumstances. Suffering is to be expected, truth will be rejected, ears will be listless there will be a turning away from things fundamental. In this service through the church we must be watchful. We must endure, we must be evangelists, we must prove our calling. As older ones go out, others must come in. A rich reward awaits the lifes service rendered through the church. What service can I best render in the church? When should one invest his life for service through the Christ? If the church should be taken away and you remain, what would you offer to take its place? If the church is the best institution God has for carrying out his purposes, is it wisdom to join and support it? If all the churches were taken out of your life, what would you be.

We inhabitants of Paxico, are making wonderful progress under the leadership of our new Pastor, (Rev. ) Reeves. Sunday morning, Pastor Reeves was feeling very sick, feeling as though he wouldn't be able to preach so he brought Rev. H. Il. Jones of the Shiloh Baptist Church, Topeka. After the formal opening, Pastor Reeves and Rev. Jones ascended the rostrum Rev. Jones, who is a strong young preacher. He preached from Zech. 13:1; subject: "A Fountain of Life." Our hearts were made to rejoice in the God of our salvation as he spoke to us by the way. At 4 o'clock, Pastor Reeves organized a Forum. At 8 o'clock, Rev. Jones came forward with another burning message, Text, St. John 6.68, Subject; "Critical conditions," he clearly pointed that it was a critical time for Christ to sift, or in plain words, a "time of sifting" and when Christ Sifted the Multitude he found only 12 remaining and the critical point was those who turned and left him; they were blind, as to his identity with the father, etc. We hope Rev. Jones will come and preach for us often.

BRANCH, PASTOR I last week the Christians enjoyed a great meeting at Antioch; and this week is for both Christians and sinners. The Christian soldiers are well armed to pitch a successful bat tle against satan and sin. Sunday was another high day in Zion, beginning with S. S. which opened at 9:30, moved off very briefly with proper staff of officers and Supt. P. H. Hunter, presiding. Lesson was enjoyed by a large number, present. Review by Pastor. At 11 o'clock a wonderful sermon was delivered by Pastor Bianch as the Holy Spirit so happily dwelt with him. At 3 o'clock, Pastor Branch and congregation were in the union service at Mt. Carmel with Pastor Lockett and church. At said hour Pastor Branch preached a great sermon. At 6:30 B. Y. P. U., was called to order by President D. Dukes. Old Feliable Section was in charge of the program; this section is very well qualified to put over the program. True and tried Section made highest marks in Bible Quiz. This lesson and program was enjoyed by a large number in attendance. At evening service, Pastor Branch brought another deen message that seemed to have touched the hearts o many Christians. The Ministers of Topeka are hoping for greater harvest in soul-saving in the city this year; Rev. A. L. Branch, President of the Ministerial Alliance, called his men on the lapse of the journey toward the big campaign. The plan is that all Pastors with census cards will visit every home in the city and take the sentiments of every person toward the church. Rev. L. V. Bolton is making himself felt as a geeat Gospel preacher in the city. He is now in a special soul saving meeting at the Antloch Baptist Church, Rev. A. L. Branch, Pastor. Large crowds are rushing in to hear the messages of the Messiah. Rev. Bolton, is one of the greatest Gospel preachers of America.

School nurse says all girls should know this TALKING to a roomful of high school girls on personal hygiene, in 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 pains 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 drugst has this remarkable substance.

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting of Topeka October 4-9,1927 TO THE CHURCH AND PASTOR: My heart 40 labors: At the annual session of our State Convention held at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927, the Convention adopted the more modern plan for carrying forward our Missionary and Educational work (both Home and Foreign) and in fact for carrying forward all our Convention obligations. Our plan calls for $10,000 annually. The plan adopted at the Convention was that $6,700 00 be apportioned directly to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Conventions of the State and District Associations and Auxiliaries. The amount apportioned to the Churches to be paid monthly or quarterly to the State office, the monthly or quarterly plan preferable because the State obligations are due monthly. For instance, if 25 churches give $5.00 each monthly, it means $125.00, and 25 churches give $3.00 each monthly it means $75.00, and 75 churches give $2.00 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention $350.00 to meet her regular monthly obligations and d money to apply on National Convention requirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Officers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Kevinan, please read this letter to the Church and lead them forth in this much needed and butiness-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Minister at the last Board Meetings and the amount for each of the Churches of $6,700.00 was suggested and accepted. The amount for your Church is in the following list. Please let us know the manner in which you will meet the request. We pray it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, beginning this month. Please pray for our work as the Missionary Pastors must carry on and the educational work must not be neglected. We are the Lord's and the world's His command. He will makepossibility if we only trust Him. This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Co. 4-9-1927. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully, W. A. BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W. ROSS, Executive Secy., a. The Negro Star—for the good of the People ist State & Districts Information.

BOARD MEETING FEB. 1, 2, 1923 The January Board Meeting of the Missionary Baptist State Convention will convene at the Calvary Baptist Church at Wichita, Kansas, January 25th and 26th, Wednesday and Thursday after the 4th Sunday Under the new Program adopted at the Annual Convention held at Topeka, the first installment of the year is due. Each of the Auxiliary Conventions and the Associations as well as Churches, Sunday Schools, B. Y. P. Us., and Mission Circles, are expected to report one (1/4) fourth of their apportionment at this Board Meeting in Wichita. Brethren, we are in need of $2000 with which to advance our regular work and be able to apply a reason able amount on our indebtedness. Remember, over $500.00 additional improvement has been made on the Seminary and must be raised to recuse the credit of our denomination. We are doing a splendid work at the Seminary and we must carry on. Then too, our Missionary Pastor's work is behind and those who depend on us are put in a compromising position, because we fail them. Let all organizations rally and function at this our January Board Meeting at Wichita. If your church cannot send a representative, then represent by letter; sending all money payable to A. W. Ross, in care of Dr. J. W. Haes, 615 Wabash Avenue, Wichita, Kansas. I am your humble servant, A. W. ROSS, Ex. Sec. & Supt. of Mis. ANNOUNCEMENT DEAR CO-WORKERS: With very great delight we announce that the State Executive Bd. of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Kansas, will meet on Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 1st and 2nd, 1921 with the Calvary Baptist Church, Wichita, Kansas, Rev. J. W. Hayes, D. D., Pastor, and Moderator of the great Southwestern District. God has wonderfully blessed those of us who are living to see the beginning of a brand new year, the year 1928, ushering in with new responsibilities, and much unfinished business committed to us from the year 1927. This is true in our personal, state, and national affairs, as well as in our church and conventional matters. It is my opinion that God has brought us hitter to this place and New Year in Kansas, to put over His Missionary and Educational program. Why should he make others from our side and leave us in charge of His churches and Kingdom Work, if His infinite wisdom and fore-knowledge had not determined we were equal to the tasks that are held in the lap of this New Year, of large opportunities, hope and possibilities? Thus preserved and appointed as stewards of Christ for the year 1928, let us face, like flint, the duties that confront us, knowing that with Christ we can prevail. It is generally predicted this is to be a year of prosperity and plentiful and God grant that as His stewards, we consciously labor to let Him have His shore.
