Clark has manufactured in Wichita, Kansas, a line of Hair Grower, toilet articles and human hair goods, and built up a growing market for saine. The goods have met with unusual success wherever tried, and a demand has been built for the goods far in excess of her manufacturing facilities. After talking with a number of business experts and legal counsel, she decided to form a company on the Common Law Trust Plan and roll enough shares in the Company to erect a modern brick building on the fine up-town lot, owned by the company and install machinery to increase the out-put. Madam Clark has associated with her, some of the leading business men of Kansas and Oklahoma, as officers in the company and has decided to sell the shares at $5.00 par value for the first ninety days. The largest fortunes accumulated by the race in business has been in the Manufacturing of Beauty Culture Goods. Nobody is going to be ugly when they can buy beauty. This is a wonderful opportunity to ret in on the ground floor of a profitable Manufacturing Business. Watch for Ad in The Negro Star for price and terms.

"SPRING" By Faith Young-Blood—Age 12 years Box 204, Sedan, Kansas Spring in all her splender come, Bringing delight to every heart; Even in hearts that sorrow dons, It awakens a feeling of joy and mirth. Tiny green buds begin to burst, Showing their pretty flowers, They deck the earth with blossoms gay All through the springtime hours. The birds come back and build their nests, The robin once more pipes his sweet strains; And the snarrows, ohl what a noise trey make; To say once again 'tis spring. None should be sad, But all should be glad; In this beautiful season of Spring. Topeka News Notes ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH REV. A. L. BRANCH, PASTOR Sunday Services were enjoyed beginning with S.

READ THIS In our November board session, the New Hope Baptist Church of Chanute, thru their pastor assumed $150.00 of the State Convention budget. To this was added $50.00 for district purposes, making a mission budget of $200.00; this is apportioned $100.00 state work. $50.00 foreign mission thru the Supt. of missions and $50.00 for district purposes for the year 1928. The church proper is to raise $125 of this; Sunday School $12.50; Sr. B. Y. P. U. $12.50; Jr. B. Y. P. U. $13.00; Church Aid Society $10.00; Whatsoever Club, (young people's organization) $10.00; Women's mission Society $12.50; Brotherhood, $10.00. These tunis, however, are the minimum, and do not interfere with the association of auxiliaries, with their state and district bodies. This teaches the auxiliary subordination to the church and creates in them an interest in the real program of the church—Mission. In February at Calvary, Wichita, we paid $20.00; this month we have forwarded to Supt. of Mission $17.50 on the state work and $12.50 for foreign missions, putting us one thing of the way on towards our goal. Biehren, we must concede to the truth that "Mission is the church's program and that other things are secondary; and so give first place to missions rather than make it "part" of our program. I agree with the Supt. of Missions that every church ought to raise for missions as much as it does for its own use. To this end, the pastor of this church is chair man of its Mission Board and together with a Secretary and Treasurer is Let us awake to our duty and see; if ever pressing the claims of the cause God will save our work.

Mrs. Williams was one of the most prominent school teachers in the public schools in Pittsburg, Kansas, and the faithful wife of Rev. S. A. Williams, Pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, Coffeyville.

They raised over $300 in the last session, while conducting one of the best Board Meetings in its history. CONGRESS R. R. CERTIFICATES READY Railroad identification certificates for the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are now ready for distribution. Messengers are again reminded that they cannot get the benefit of the reduced rates unless they present one of these certificates to their LOCAL TICKET AGENT when they go to purchase their tickets. In towns and cities whers there are four or five churches or more, it is essential that one person be designated to order certificates for all the messengers. Heretofore, we have had several different people ordering certificates from the same city; this causes us to furnish some cities a greater number of certificates than they really needed. We desire every person to have a certificate who is entitled to one, but it is too expensive to print certificates to supply an unnecessary demand. Send applications for railroad identification certificates to the Congress Headquarters 409 Gay Street, Nashville, Tennessee. E. W. D. ISAAC, Director General. on."

PEORIA, MISS—Mrs. Rebecca Williams died suddenly, April 9th. She was a devout Christian and we feel that she was called from labor to reward; she was always found at her post of duty in the Tick-paw liopist Church of which she was a member, always greeting the friends with a Christian smile; always doing good and giving Christianly advice, especially to the young people. We will miss her so much, and will also strive to meet her again in that celestial city. Death claimed her husin June 1927. She leaves 4 daughters and one son; all are grown. Her funeral was largely attended at her church by Rev. M. Parker, Pastor. Afterwhich the flower-covered casket was removed from the church by the Jackson Undertaking Co. deposited in the Lea Cemetery. DENVER COLORADO, APRIL Y Branch Accommodates Large No. of Pullman Employees—More Than Fleman, Tkkergoo Durham Eleven Thousand During Past Year One reason why the Glenarm Branch of the Denver Y. M. C. A., has within the past three years become one of the best known in the entire country was revealed in the tabulated report submitted last week to the pullman district officials by the executive secretary, Fritz Cansler of the Denver Y. M. C. A. The report showed that for the year ending March 31, a total of 11,215 accommodations was furnished under the terms of agreement by, which the Glenarm Y. M. C. A., is to furnish rooms for all employees who do not make their home in Denver. During the summer months thousands of visitor and tourists lured by the mountain scenery and the climate for which Colorado is noted, make necessary large additions to the regular passenger service on the trains running into Denver. This brings to the city and state employees who, during other seasons are in widely separated sections of the country, and who, while in Denver make their home at the Y. M. C. A. Registration for a room at the building carries with it the privileges of the well appointed structure, and the officers have been gratified with the manner in which the men enter into the activities. The gymnasium swimming pool, billiard and game rooms, library and reading rooms are all placed at their disposal and much activity in all of the departments is the result. Superintendents B. H. Vreman and Instructor Clinton Thomas, take special interest in the comfort of the men and are responsible for the agreement with the Y officials which has made possible the splendid accommodations furnished the men in their district. The executive secretary of the Glenarm Y. M. C. A., has frequently publicly commented on the uniform high character of the men now in the employ of the Pullman Company. Almost without exception, according to his report, "The men are sober, intelligent, and thoughtful and richly deserving of every consideration for their comfort and welfare." REDUCED RATES TO CONGRESS Railroad authorities have announced reduced rates of a fare and one-half to the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress to be held in Milwaukee, Wis., June 20-24, 1928. Round trip tickets will be sold to messengers holding Identification Certificates. These tickets will be issued from the Congress Headquarters, 409 Gay Street, Nashville, Tenn., upon application from the proper source. Messengers failing to secure these Certificates will not be entitled to reduced rates. Bear in mind that the Identification Certificates must be presented to the Local Ticket Agent before leaving home; and that upon presentation of them, round tirp tickets will be sold on the basis herein mentioned.

LESSON SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 1925 Subj, “Why Should we Try to Make all People Christian?” Text Jno, 17 Christianity is the only hope of universal peace and a glorious life beyond, jo man can make the most of. his life who lives out of harmony with the God that made him. Christ died for the world that the world might be reconciled to God through Ifim. In our lesson Christ prays for His elects whom His Father nad given Him and out of whose lives He got glory. His prayer is that they might be kept in the world and yet not be of the world, He ashs that they might be one in Him. While He was in the world, they were kept in His Name and none of them were lust save the son of per- dition. Now they are to be kept by the Holy Ghost thru faith unto sal- vation, he prays that the disciples might have joy through the Word, netwith- standing the world hatcd them be- caure they had no fellowship with it, Christ also prayed that the church might be sanctified. His paryer is for the church as it is and for the «burch as it will be We should try to make all Chris- tidus Iacause man was created for the glory of God and it fs impossible for God to get glory out of his life unless he js in harmony with the will of God, We should strive to make all Christians because Christianity is a universal rehgion, It is the only re hgion that has an unchanging mes- wage to the whole world, _ The Christian program whon prop- errly rendered centers the attention of the world upon Him whom Isaiah declares to be the Prince of Peace: lt places God first, others second and ourselves last.

Some parents are teaching their children, who must shape the future destiny of the race, this simple idea, Can you gee yourselves, esnecially you mothers and fathers? If you can't, read the next {ssue of this paper. The next thought w Il be,’ bad luck’ If one forgets anything and turns back for it, you wall notice they wi.l make a ring and spit in it; they say if they don’t do this, it will geve them bad luck, If they stump their left foot, they will turn completely around. If any throw peanut hulls around the docr, you will notice the superstitious person stop and kicl: them; they try never to step over a broom handle; they will let dirt mul- tiply under the bed of a sick person, because they think it is bad Tecie to sweep under the bed. They try to neve; sit on a trunk for fear of dis- epnointment; never sweep any one’s feet or wash in the same dishpan or rub-together; not cut off another's finger nails for fear of breaking up friendship. They never build any- thing new to the old house, (just let it all fall down) What about your- elf, are you in any of these super- stitious habits? Don't they look Fimple (silly?)

Our plan calls for $10,000 annual- yy. The plan adopted at the Conven- tion was that $6,700.00 be apportion- ed directly to.the Churches and the balance of the $10,000, to the Con- ventions 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 prefera- able because the State obligations are due monthly. For instance, if 25 churches give $5.00 each monthly, it men $125.00, and 26 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 money to apply on National Conven- tion requirements, Wall you Brother Pastor and Of- ficers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God’s Keyman, please read this letter to the Church and Lad them forth in this much needed and butiness-like plan for our Con- vention, This plan was presented to the Minusters 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 Ict us know the manner in which you will meet the request, We pray it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, be- ginning this month, Please pray fo. our work as the Missionary Pastors must carry on and the educational work must not be neglected. We are the Lord's and the work is His command. He will make pos- sible {f we only trust Hun. This adopted at our State Con- vention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927, . .
