E. W. D. ISAAC, Director General. FLAYS HAITIAN LAND LAW NEW YORK CITY, Apr. 30, (PNS) Discussing conditions in Haiti, Henry C. Rosemond, first advisor of Haitian Patriotic Union in America, says: "In all cities of Haiti, especially Port au Prince, mass protest meetings art being held against the new demand of the government at Washington presented by John H. Russell, the so-called high commissioner of the United States in Haiti. "The demand is a new law authorizing the Americans to dispossesse the Haitian peasants who haven't any identification papers as owners or state certificates, mentioning the date, the quantity, the price, from their lands. "In a way of speaking, no Haitian in the Republic of Haiti has any of the papers that the new law or any other law of that kind would require. If this law goes through in Haiti, it will be an addition to the misery of that country. The Haitian peasants are now working for extremely small wages. Three hundred Haitians at the American Sugar Company in Port au-Prince are working for 20 cents a day. In the civil service there are Americans in every department. The American engineers get from $200 to $300 a month and the Haitian engineers who have just as much experience and some cases more experience than most of the Americans in Haiti receive $40 to $75 a month. Most of the Haitian engineers were educated in France, Germany, England and a few in the United States." It is reported that the idea of this new law is to get the peasants out of their native lands because they do not want to sell them to the representatives of moneyed interests who desire to start new rubber and sugar cane plantations in the mountains of the South Haiti—especially the mountains of Petion Ville, the coolest state in the East section of Haiti. The Haitian people are calling on all American people and the fair-minded people of other lands to help them protest against these daily terror that are being committed in Haiti, and especially this coming imposition on the Haitian peasants by the American moneyed interests, which is but a short road to further enslave the people of the Haitian republic by the United States. THOUGHTS SUBJECT: "THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING IN THE CHURCH." Pvt. J. S. Livingston, Independent Baptist, Church, Leavenworth. When asked what is the most expensive thing about a local church? We think of course, it is the building and furnishing, or next perhaps the salary of the minister. But the most expensive thing in the average Ch. is neither of these, neither is it coal bill, light bill, the music, repairs, or missionary endeavors. No it is none of these. The most expensive thing in every local church, is an empty pew. The empty pew, stares the minister in the face, and seriously cuts down most of his power to preach. No speaker can rise to eloquence or power by looking at the bare backs of empty pews. The empty pew discourages the regular attendants; everybody enjoys following the crowd. When pews are filledfully inspired to double their efforts. Large numbers, lend enthusiasm to the minister, the singers, the teachers, the parents, the children, the janitor, and especially the visitors, who have happened to drop into the service. When a visitor sees a large number of empty pews, he seldom ever returns; if the house is well filled, he returns. If possible, the next service the empty pews discourage the finance committee. When shall audience continue? The Finance Committee scans the little bunch, thinking, we cannot pay expenses with this scattered few, but let all seats be filled and the finance committee smiles at each other, and say, don't that cheer you? They will go to their tasks with the smile that gets a raised offering. The empty seats discourage the community. Let a church allow this exceedingly expensive barracade, an empty seat, multiply for a while, and the whole community brands that church as a dead one. And, after this impression gets scattered abroad in a community, it often takes many months or even years, to rid the people's minds of the lonesome, freezing, repulsive impression caused by those exceedingly expensive things:—Empty Seats] Empty seats discourage the real builders in a congregation. A poor preacher, a cheap choir, a bungling Bible school Superintendent, and two or three old unpaid mortages on the church are light burdens, compared to a good size bunch of empty seats. Of course, faith can overcome all obstacles, but any church leader receives added enthusiasm, hope, courage and determination to work, when the seats are well filled. So, let us fill the empty pews. The Apostle Paul declared we, (the church) are WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, May 4, 1928. P. T. CONGRESS CONVENTION The 4th annual Convention, Kansas Branch Nation Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers, convened Ottawa, April 20, 21, at Bethany Chapel Church. This was the best session, showing a growth of this great organization. 70 delegates and visitors registered guests of the Mothers' Congress Club, of Ottawa.

Next place of meeting is Manhattan, 1929. a spectacle, both to angels and to men. The angels of heaven and the men of the earth, are looking on with keenest interest to behold what the church is doing with the wonderful tasks, she has on her hands. As the angels peer toward the church, there arise a thick cloud that is raised to serve as a camouflage. The cloud is largely made up of excuses for not attending church. But the angels peering through this dense cloud of excuses, are on the backs of all the empty pews, the chief cause of its emptiness:—Indifferences. On some of the empty pews, they read also:—"I, the one who should be in this seat, by my absence, vote to close the doors of the church;" for if all absented themselves as some have been doing, the church must go out of business. Let us try to get rid of this most expensive thing in all Christian churches! Put some of your religion into your feet and go out and invite people to church. They will thank you for it. You will enjoy it. The angels will sing, and the pews will be filled. A very beautiful day, starting the S. S. at 9:50, opening by Supt. Mc.

Five Cents Per Copy RHINELANDER DIVORCE SUIT TO BE RESUMED RHINELANDER DIVORCE SUIT TO BE RESUMED NEW YORK CITY, Apr. 30(PNS) It is reported that Leonard Kip Rhinelander and Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander will soon resume their court tilt on the divorce controversy in connection with their marital welfare in the courts. It is said that Mrs. Rhinelander may seek a separation and an arrangement in the courts at White Plains, tying up her husbands New York property to insure payment of alimony. It is reported that Rhinelander in Ocean Springs, La., in which state law forbids marriage between a white person and one with even as much as one-eighth Negro blood. Rhinelander has so far been successful in eluding service of papers about the separation complaint which his wife filed last January. Rhinelander has been paying Mrs. Rhinelander $300 a month alimony since March 29, 1927. Mrs. Rhinelander's attorney is endeavoring to tie up about $400,000 of Rhinelander's New York property as a security for any order the court might make. Y. M. C. A. NOTES W. L.

George Peter Henderson was born in 1846, March 10th, Salina Co. Mo., died April 8, 130 a. m., 1928, at Garden City, Kansas, age 82 years, 28 days. At a very early age he was conferred and baptized into the 2nd Baptist Church by Rev. B. Robinson of Kansas City, Mo. Shortly afterwards he entered into the ministry, and was known as the boy preacher. Some of his pastorates were: Olathe, Kansas, Chandler, Okla. Leavenworth, Kansas; 10 years at the Independent Baptist Church, 2nd Baptist Garden City. He closed his lifework with this the Ebenezer Baptist Church, having given 21 years of service. He was united marriage to Miss Sarah Jane Fantroy. Oct. 29, 1908, Garden City, Kansas. As a wife, our observation has been that she has served most faithfully and devotedly, constantly at his side, always and ever ready to minister to his wants and needs as a patient nurse; she has no pier, her endurance is incomparable; surely, she stands with a clear conscience before man and God. His last words, "I am ready and willing to go;" He instructed the children to be faithful, and to "meet me in the great beyond, where eternity sweetly rolls." His last song, "Reach Down My soul and Converse A While With Death," Hence like a shock of corn, he came to full maternity and was gathered. Mr. Harold Parker and Misses Bethel and Zelphia Bene motored to Independence, Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Mary Roberson and Dan Ethiel were dinner guests of Mrs. Bessie Ratchliff and family, Sunday. Improved Uniform International SundaySchool Lesson By REV P. B. FITTWATER D. J., Dean Moony Bible Institute UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Lesson for May 6 CREATNESS THROUGH SERVICE LI'SSON TEXT—Mark # 33-37; 10. 33-40. GULDEN TEXT—For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many PRIMARY TOPIC—Doing as Jesus Did UNIOR TOPIC—The Way to life JUNIOR TOPIC—The Way to Be Great. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—How to Be Truly Great. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Jesus' Standard of Greatness. Jesus with His disciples was on his way to Capernaum for the last time. He was soon to leave for Jerusalem where He was to die on the crucross for the sins of the world. He sought retirement in order to make clearer to the disciples the meaning of the cross. They were yet unable to understand Him. It was a most pitilable sight to behold the Son of God facing humiliation and death or man's salvation and even the disciples failing to understand the meaning of His suffering. 1. The Disciples Disputing as to Who Shout: Be the Greatest (Mark 9:37-37). 1. Jesus' searching question (v. 31) His omniscience enabled Him to discern their secret thoughts. The fact that the disciples were wrangling about official position while Jesus was facing humiliation and death shows how completely He was alone in the world. 2. The silent disciples (v. 34). The revelation of the selfishness of their hearts made them ashamed in this presence. The realization that the eye of the omniscient Lord is over us is the sure and only cure for selfish wrangling among Christians 3. The stinging rebuke (vv. 35-37). (1) "If any man desire to be first the same shall be last of all and servant of all." True greatness expresses itself in being willing to take the last and least place and to be a servant of others. (2) His teaching illustrated (vv. 36, 37). This He did by an acted parable of placing a little child in their midst. A little child is a symbol of dependence and ignorance. By word and example He showed that true greatness is expressed in willingness to aid the weak, instruct the ignorant, and serve the needy. II. The Ambitious Request of James and John (Mark 10:35-45). 1. What it was (vv. 35 37). It was for the positions of pre-eminence in the kingdom. Christ had told them of the awful agony of the cross and also of the glory which should follow. While their request reveals pride and selfish ambition yet faith in their Lord and a right desire were not wholly lacking. It was not entirely for their personal glory that they made this request, but because of their personal desire to be with their Lord. 2. Jesus' reply (vv. 38-45). (1) To James and John (vv. 38-40). a. Their misconception rebuked. "Ye know not what ye ask." b. Positions of glory in Christ's kingdom are earned, not obtained through favor or arbitrary assignment. The way to honor is through suffering. The cup which they were to drink was all that was embraced in the agony of the cross. Christ conceded that the positions which they craved were obtainable, but in a different way from what they thought The way to places of glory in Christ's kingdom is through lowly, self-forgetful service and suffering (2) To the ten disciples (vv. 41-4') a. Their displeasure (v. 41) a. Their displeasure was displeased with the request of James and John. Their displeasure was because they were not free from the same selfish ambition; their action was not prompted by righteous indignation. b. True greatness declared (iv. 4.25). To minister to others is greater than to be ministered unto (v. 4.3). Among the Gentile nations, greatness was conceded to those who exercised authority over others. This is the world's conception today. Among the followers of Christ a different stand and prevails. The standard of Christ's kingdom is to forget self in devoted service to others, even to the giving of one's life. The supreme example to be followed by all is Jesus Christ Himself. His whole life was spent in going about doing good, and on the cross of Calvary He made the supreme sacrifice in providing a tansom for many. The wise seek "the city which hath foundations."—Southern Methodist. Be of Good Cheer Let us be of good cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.— Lowell. Ministers The world looks at ministers out of the pulpit to know what they mean when in it.—Cecil. THE BUILDER. The wealthy owner of a parcel of ground numbered among his closest and trusted friends a man who was a builder of houses. Deciding to improve his property, he approached the builder with this unique proposal; "I want you to build a house for me. I do not wish to attend to the details of the building, but will trust you to please me. I will not question your judgment. You chose the plans, materials and equipment for the house and I will pay the costs whatever they may be." The builder was somewhat skeptical, but knowing that the idea was fair to him, agreed to it. During the course of construction, the owner left the builder so free that the builder could have used the worst of materials had he so desired, while charging the owner for the best. Finally the house was completed, and the owner invited to come to inspect it. The house was delightful in every way, in beauty an convenience, a model of perfection in every detail. After inspection, the final construction costs were settled, and then the owner signified his readiness to settle with the builder for his work. He drew a document from his pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to the builder. It was a deed to the property conveying it entirely to his friend. In handing over the deed, the owner said "From the first you were building this house for yourself and not for me. I trusted you to be as careful of the work you were doing for me, as you would have been had you known it was for yourself. I make you now the processor of that which you have built." Life presents to every individual such an opportunity. Though life often seems so full of tasks that acrue to the benefit of others, in the final analysis the work of our hands is our own. What we do enters into our own characters and becomes an inheritance that no man can take away from us.-H. A. T. Fort Scott News Notes. The Shiloh Baptist Church, with her workers, are planning to clear the church of all her outstanding obligations. We are also planning to put in a furnace that will cost about $600; this must be installed this summer as our present furnace is burnt out. The Federated Auxiliary of the church is having a church membership Rally to clear the church of debt. If each member gives 50c it will over pay the bills. Last Sunday morning was rainy, and church attendance was low. Isn't it strange, that when God pours out a blessing upon the land in the form of rain, that His people withhold their devotion from Him! People will go to their work places in the rain, but deliberately refuse to attend church in the rain. S. S., has decided to have a S. S., week, beginning the 41st of May.

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 d.strict 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. $5.00; Church Aid Society $10.00; Whatsoever Club, (young people's organization) $10.00; Women's Mission Society $1.50; Brotherhood, $10.00. There sums, 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-third of the way on towards our goal. Brethren, 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 Twenty Fourth NEOSHO VALLEY H SCHOOL CO OF KA CONVENESE Bethany Chapel Bay Ottawa, Kansas, Jun REV. CHAS. FA REV.

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 whens 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.

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 as $350.00 to meet her regular monthly obligations and need money to apply on National Convention requirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Officers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please read this letter to the Church and ad them forth in this much needed and business-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Ministers 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 work is His command. He will make possible if we only trust Him. This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 9, 1927. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully, W. A BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W. ROSS, Executive Sec'y, and Supt. of Missions. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?
