Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE TH FOR T Vol. 21, No. 8, B.Y.P.U.CONGRESS ANNUAL S.S.& PRATT, KANSAS, May 21, 1928 Delegates And All Concerned:— For the trip to the S. S. & B. Y. P. U. Congress, held at Milwaukee, Wis. June 20-24. I am making arrangements for a special Coach and Tourist sleeper, car Service via Rock Island Lines from Wichita, and I desire the co-operation of all delegates from this section. It will be to your advantage to communicate with me at once, as by my plan, considerable expense will be saved each delegate, but as the time is short, it will be necessary that you address me at once in order that I can fully complete the necessary arrangements. Leaving Wichita, over the Rock Island at 9:20 a. m., in a special coach, it will not be necessary for my delegation to leave the train at Kansas City, as we will transfer directly into a Tourist Sleeper for the remainder of the trip, leaving Kansas City, at 5:45 p. m. This thru service will eliminate bus transfer at Chicago, both going and returning and will be greatly to our advantage and Convenience, while the cost will be moderate. Sleeper charges from Kansas City, will be $2.85 for a double lower berth and if two will occupy same berth, this will reduce the charge, just one-half. This for the one way only. When notifying me as to space wanted, be sure to state whether you a full lower or upper or will share it with another. An upper berth will also accommodate two and will be 20% cheaper than a lower berth. Delegates using other lines than the Rock Island into Kansas City, will be very welcome into this special delegation and arrangements will gladly be made, providing you notify me at once. The round trip coach rate from Wichita, will be $40.89; Topeka $22.97, Kansas City $27.99. Each passenger must have a certificate, which I will be glad to send you on notice, to surrender to ticket agent rt point of starting, obtaining a round trip ticket, on this reduced fare. You will be notified later as to the routing beyond Chicago. Please consider this matter at once and notify me by the earliest possible mail. Help us make this a successful Congress. Sincerely, N. J. STOKES, Fastor Baptist Church, Pratt, Kans. OTTAWA IDEAS All services were well attended at Bethany Chapel, Sunday. Rev. Chas. Favors preached at both services.

RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION West Begins" By W. L. HUTCHERSON, (WATER STREET BRANCH) WICHITA, KANS.—Kansas: West of the Miss. sappl; of the main esteries of the transportation; and therefore, little heard of in the World of Athletics. But, I would remind the World of Sports, that Sol Butler hailed from the Jayhawker State. Abbott, the Wizard of Tuskegee did his first Foot Ball Coaching at Topeka, Kansas Vocational School. From this neck of the woods, hails Graves, the present Coach at Wilberforce. Stephens, the "Triple Threat" Man of Abbott's Machine, went, via Kansas. George Sweat, for three years with the Monarchs; but last year, with the Chiego, Clants, first felt his powers, in a Kansas College. Therefore, the public should know something of the present Generation of College and high School Athletics. The Colleges of the State have produced but one man in the past 2 years-"Tige" Fouat.* of Wichita Municipal University—who has attracted any considerable attention. He has played tackle on this team for two seasons, with very great credit. Of course, there are lesser lights. In High School, creditable showings have been made by Hockett of Wichita; Harris and Stokes of Priatt Porter and Cole ** of Kingman; and Buck Henderson of Hutchinson. There are some dozen other colored boys on High School Teams; but who have attracted no special attention. THE CAGE George Brady, * Teachers' College at Emporia, is the only Negro on a College Basket Ball Team. He is a great player. Jack Knight,* of Salina, made a very creditable showing on his High School Team. He was high point man in more than one game. Several "lesser lights" appeared on Senior and Junior High School Teams. Tennis is a field in the Inter-scholastic realm, and especially, in the West, that is yet young. Therefore, but few Negro Students have taken to Tennis, as a Major Sport. M. T. Fort of Friends University, has represented his school in several meets. Jas. Anderson is a member of the Team from Wichita High School. THE CINDER PATH The largest number of Negroes have made their mark in track. Elijah and Lois Williams, now at Howard and California Universities, are among the present generation. Shaw of Teachers' College, Pittsburgh, is dean of he present group of men in college. He holds the State record for the Ceutury, 10.1. Brady," is giving a good account of himself in the Distances and with the Shot. Foust," has runned the dashes; but having become to heavy, is concentrating upon the Shot. Herbert and Wilber King, Wichita (Municipal) University are showing up well in the sprints and relays; and Wilber is making a creditable showing in the Broad Jump. Rochal Mounts," the Veteran of Friends University, runs the 100, 22 and Broad Jump. Here, the High School firmament is well illuminated. Clifford Madison, a fellow-towns of Sol Butler, Hutchinson, Kansas, is Captain of his High School Team; however, he is the only Negro on the team. He holds the State Record, in both the high and broad jump. Holder.* of Manion shows up among the best in the Century 220 mile relay and pole vault. Ross of Independence, does both the sprints and distances, and has cinched more than one meet for his school. Cole.* of Kingman, tho' around five feet in height, gives the "long ones" trouble in both the sprints and distances. There is another Score of Negro boys on the various track teams. It is needless to say, they are above the average, or they would not be on the teams. Northeast Junior High School has taken the Kansas University Meet, in their class two years; while Summer High has place in these meets. These are the only secondary schools tor Negroes in the State. All the names I have (*) indicate participation in more than one school sport. And in most cases, these fellows all play on a Community (colored) Basket Ball Team. Others play "back lot," base ball, or Indus. trial League base ball. There are many good swimmers in the roster, given here. After seven years of "Close Up," I concur in an observation, made by SJB Butler over five years age—that the average Negro Athlete is always tempted to "doubleup" and over-do their normal endurance, by participating in too many different sports, or too many track events. Instead, they should concentrate upon one sport, or one track event, and become a leader, in one event. Christian Bible Club The club met at the home of Mrs. Florence Calhoun, 902 Ohio, Ave. with all members present. Next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Palston, 1209 N. Mathewson, Mollie Miller.

GOOD GOVERNMENT UP TO PEOPLE (Industrial News Bureau) If popular government is effective, each stockholder in the public business must be intelligently informed. The details and ramifications of modern government are too varied to permit each citizen to know how each tax dollar is spent or to judge the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the methods by which each public function is carried on, without the aid of some organized interpreting agency. Public understanding and support of tax measures is necessary as a check on public affairs. Public administrators very often fail to ferret out and apply changes in procedure which would contribute to economy and efficiency. Changes in methods are usually impossible without activity and demand from citizens. Personal interest in, and knowledge of tax problems, are sentries at the tax exit gate. It is the means by which the public is kept informed on the progress of public business. Individual interest in the problems of government and taxation will fear hurt a hundredfold in improved governmental services to the people. STATEMENT OF POLICY H. J. Quigley, District Manager of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, Wichita, Kansas, stated that the very nature of the telephone business necessitates a single interconnected system. Such a system is provided by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and its Associated and Connecting Companies. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company accepts its responsibility for a nation wide telephone service as a public trust. Its duty is to provide the American public with adequate, dependable and satisfactory telephone service at a reasonable cost. To attain this end, it is the policy of the Company to pay only reasonable regular dividends, and, for part of the new capital needed, to offer from time to time new stock to its stockholders on favorable terms, for it believes this method of financing will provide the money needed for the business cheaply and with more certainty in good times and bad than any other. The safety of principal and regular dividends have been the compelling motives that have led to the widespread ownership of the stock of the Company. At the end of the year there were 423,580 stockholders, an increase during the year of 24,459. No one of these stockholders owns as much as one percent of the capital stock. This nation-wide ownership of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company means ownership of the Bell System for, taking the associated operating telephon companies as a group, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company owns 93 percent, of their common stock, and in the case of the Western Electric Company, Inc., it owns 981-3 percent of the stock. The am of the management, and it is the only aim that will protect in the long run the safety of the investment of the hundreds of thousands of stockholders, is to continue to furnish the best possible telephone service at the least cost to the public. Extra or special dividends are entirely inconsistent with this aim and would be unsound. Earnings, must, of course be sufficient to permit the best possible telephone service at all times and to provide a reasonable payment to stockholders with an adequate margin to insure financial safety. Earnings in excess of these requirements will either be spent tar the enlargement and improvement of the service furnished, or the rates charged for the service reduced. This is fundamental in the policy of the management. Wellington Notes. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH William McLleven, Pastor. H. T. HUNTER, Reporter. Sunday was an ideal day. Good services all day as well as attendance; It being Mother's day (May 13) much love was manifest among the children as well as adults. The Pastor preached at night, a short, but powerful sermon, Subject: "Mother's Love" The Board Meeting held with the 2nd Baptist Church, May 10, 11, was a grand success, spiritually and financially. A wonderful program was rendered and all Wellington's Church-loving people are glad for your instructions and teachings and are hoping you will come more often. Mrs. James Ballard. Sr. visit: Mra, James Ballard, Sr. r visiti Sister Sally, Johnson, reported ill Sister Susie Johnson reported ill. Sister Jesse Garnett is sick. The Court of Calanthe will give an entertainment and program, soon. Watch for the date. Sister Annie Brady was visiting in Wichita, first of the week. OSTRACIZE . RECKLESS DRIVERS (Industrial News Bureau ) An authority on traffic problems says: "Every traffic accident is a symptom of something wrong. Something wrong with the driver, the pedestrian, the street or highway, the control system, the vehicle, the ordinance, the police department, or the community. In cities, two-thirds of the victims of fatal motor vehicle accidents are pedestrials. Our greatest problem is to define clearly the proper use of streets by vehicles and by pedestrians and the obligations of each to the other." He urges "an organized campaign of ostracism of the motorist who endangers self and every one through nonobservance of traffic signals, boulevard stop signs and the like, and who is generally the same fellow that pulls across the crosswalk, makes elderly people jump out of his way, splashes mud on pedestrians and generally behaves himself like a hog." He says public officials promote violation of traffic signals, when they put signals "at places where they are not needed, run them at times when they are not needed, or run them on too long a cycle." Emporia Hearings ST, JAMFS BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. V, L. Danzy, Pastor The St. James Baptist S. S., was opened at the usual hour with Supt. Bro. W. E. Carter, presiding. All of the teachers were at their post of duty. Instead of the review a short program was rendered, given by the pupils in honor of their mothers. At 11 a. m., after song service by the Junior Choir, Rev. V. L. Danzy, chose for text, I Sam. 2:19; subject, "Mothers and Children" from which he delivered a logical and spiritual message. At 6:30 the B. Y. P. U., was opened by Vice President, Sister Vivian McKenney; a short program was rendered by group No. 1; afterwhich a play, "The Ten Virgins" was presented by the following—Christina Banks, Mabel Murray, Bernice McBride, Addie and Minkle Gandy, Cordyline Young, Vivian McKenny, Charlyne Smith, Margaret Walls, Gladys Gerry, Neioma and Manual Gandy, and Robert Snow. At 8:30 p. m., instead of the sermon, a program was rendered by the Senior Choir and was much enjoyed. Club No. 1 met with Sister Snow. Club No. 2 met with Sister Stewart. Club No. 4 Met with Sister Skaggs. Senior Mission met with Sister Grider Quite a few present and a delightful lunch was served. Mr. Chester Stovall, a K. S. T. C., student who was very ill, is improved. Miss Lucille Ross spent the weekend in Kansas City. The Spring Party, given by the Metropolitan Club, was a great success. Many out of town guests attended. CORDYLA E. YOUNG. Rep. YMCA WHAT IS THE Y? BY J. L. ELLENWOOD It is a building. And there are 2,100 of these buildings throughout the world. They are increasing numerically at a rapid rate, and keep right up with the improvements of the times. Hundreds of thousands live in its dorms, swim in its pools, and exercise in its gyms. The Association is proud and justly so, of its buildings. But the Y is more than a building:— It is an atmosphere. A house does not make a home and a building does not make a Y. Archie Hare has had only a simple dwell-place for a building in Jerusalem, but has made the Y a tremendous force in the Holy Lands. Many of our best developed programs are carried on from a dingy office on a second floor. The Y is an attempt to maintain a wholesome atmosphere, a cordial spirit in the exercises that a man needs physically and mentally. It is proud and justly proud of the atmosphere it maintains. But the Y is more than atmosphere:— It is an ideal. It is an effort to apply the life and teachings of Jesus to life in its everyday relationships. It is here, to use a phrase that Jesus Himself used, that men might live and that they might live more abundantly. So this is the Y. A. building, an atmosphere, an ideal. Capt. Hutcherson, Sec'y Y. M. C. A. wert to Parsons, Wednesday 23. A TRUE STORY FROM AMERICA Last Monday night at Calvary Baptist Church, we heard and saw the True Story of Africa and its needs by Dr. J. E. East, Philadelphia, Pa., the Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, who gave a short moving picture or stereoscope view of the conditions. One could no readily see the value of the Gospel and the marked improvements in those that it touched. Miss Sarah Williamson, returned Missionary, held the audience spellbound with one of the most complete and effective talks that we have ever heard from this needy people. She moved the audience at will from daughter to tears, as she took them over the conditions as they were. No one felt like the work and gifts were in vain, when we listened to the marked improvements that are being made and they stood ready to give without perspulsion over $66.00. Calvary had given over $19.00 to Dr. East, Sunday night so the occasion made it possible for the Foreign Mission Board. Practically every church in the city was represented and especially St. Mary, and New Hope were largely represented. Kevs, J. E. Douglass and B. L. Marchart lifted the offerings. to deliver 2 commencement addresses at the closing of the colored schools. Dr. Thos. G. Perry, the popular owner and manager of the Small Animal Hospital, on Cleveland Ave. 13th block, has returned to his office after six weeks of rest and recuperation at Excelsior Springs, Missouri. During his absence, the work has been carried on by Dr. G. T. Bronson, his associate. W. L. Hutcherson, Executive Secretary of Water Street Branch, Y. M. C. A., is home from Chicago, where he went to attend a special conference, called by the National Association of Boys' Work Secretaries, and the Department of Christian World Education, Y. M. C. A. Enroute camp, Mr. Hutcherson stopped at Camp Wood, to attend the spring meeting of the Kansas Chapter, A. B. W. S., of which he is a member and officer. There, he was elected chairman of the commission on World Outlook. It was as chairman of this commission that he was invited by the National organization to attend the Chicago Conference. There were 37 men there from all sections of the country, Mr. Hutcherson returns greatly enthused with the outlook for the future. He believes the Youths of America are taking seriously their relationships and responsibility to the boys of other lands. Some very definite studies are to be made on this subject, looking toward the International Convention, 1929; National Boy's Work Assembly, 1930; and World's Conference, 1931 in either the United States or Canada. Kans. Vocational School Topeka, Kansas, May 22, 1928. Mrs. Clement Richardson, President of the K. V. S. Booklovers Club entertained the members, Monday night, May 7. A very pleasant social evening was spent at her home. The girls' octet sang several numbers at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Topeka, Tuesday, May 15. The girls also rendered a program at the Seaman High School, Wednesday night. Mrs. Phoebe Morgan of Florence, Alabama, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Sarah Fraser, matron of the girls' dormitory. A large chorus of K. V. S. music students, under direction of Mrs Zenola Reeves, gave a very pleasing program, Friday night, May 12, in the city auditorium as a part of Topeka's observance of national music week. The chorus was made up of nearly fifty voices. Miss Clementine Richardson, a contralto soloist and daughter of Praf, Clement Richardson, delighted the audience with several numbers. There were, also, numbers by the girls' octet, a mixed quartet and the boys' quartet, which were well received. Mr. G. T. Bryant very easily rendered a violin solo. The closing number was an outstanding one—"Prayer. From the Heart of Emancipation;" the solo part was rendered by Miss Mattie Williams, who has a very pleasing voice. Miss Bertha Roberson and Miss Alice Clark, instructors in the Commercial Department, entertained the Commercial Club. Tuesday night. May 16. Mrs. Phoebe Morgan, of Florence, Alabama, Miss Mildred West, Miss Mattie Williams, Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Russell were guests of the club. Mrs. Anna McGruder Smith, head nurse at the Nellie John's Hospital has returned from her home where she was called on account of the illness of her brother. Misses Bertha Roberson, Mildred West, Mattie Williams and Alice Clark were the guests of Mrs. Clement Richardson and family at a breakfast, Tues. morning, May 15. Doctors from neighboring cities and states held a convention and clinic here at the school last week. (Continued on page four.) Five Cents Per Copy UNIQUE INSTALLATION PROGRAM The Indiana Avenue Christian Cham May 22, 1923, was an occasion of a real unique Installation Program, Honoring Rev. and Mrs. I. K. Hicks, the newly elected and brilliant young pastor and wife; Mr. W. E. Graves, Master of Ceremony, had everything well arranged and only three were absent of the 27 programmed. Mrs. M. K. King, President of the Burleigh-Hayes Conservatory of Music, had charge of the Music and it was fine. Every speaker had regards for time and they said "Much in little." The following will give you an idea of the quality of the Pragram: -Prelude, Juanta Evans Scripture, Rev. W. C. Conwell; Music, by St. Mary's Choir; Prayer by Rev. J. E. Douglass; Selection by Chorus Welcome by Mr. Walter Scott; Greetings on behalf of Schools, by Prof. F. G. West; Duct (Instrumental) by Joasie Lorance Juanita Evans; Greetings on behalf of the Y. M. C. A., Miss Cora Vaughn; Selection, by Coleridge-Taylor Conservatory, Miss Doris Ballance, Miss Dorothv Sims, Director; Greetings on behalf of Y. M. C. A., Mr. W. L. Hutcherson; Congregational Music; Greetings on behalf of Ministerial League, Rev. B. L. Marchant, President of League; Charge to Pastor, Rev. W. F. Colc, of Fairview Christian Church; Response, Rev. I. K. Hicks, Offering, and Benediction. One remarkable thing about this program, there were only two speakers of the whole program who did not appear: Greeting on behalf of Attorneys and Charge to the Church and we feel sure this must have been unavoidable; and the Christian Ch. begins their upward march with Rev. Hicks, newly installed Pastor, leading these valent hearted soldiers with much in view to be accomplished. 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, 400 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 trip tickets will be sold on the basis herein mentioned. E. W. D. ISAAC, Director General. CONGRESS R. R. CERTIFICATES READY Railroad identification certificates for the Sunday School and B. P. Y. 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 where 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 certif- mand. Send applications for railroad identification certificates to the Congress Headquarters. 409 Gay Street, Nashville, Tennessee. E. W. D. ISAAC, Director General. Sunday School Lesson (By REF P. F. FITWATER D.J., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (Q. B. Western Newspaper Univ.) Lesson for May 27 THE WICKED HUSBANDMEN LESSON TEXT—Mark 12.1.12; 12.1.27. GOLDEN TEXT—Jehovah knoweth 'the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish. PRIMARY TOPIC—Some Wicked PRIMARY TOPIC—Some Wicked People Punished. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Wicked Blue bandmen INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Playing Fair With God YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Misuse of National Privilege 1. Demanding the Fruit of His Vinesyard (Mark 12:1-12). 1. The man (v. 1). The certain man who planted the vineyard is God Illumself. 2. The vineyard (v. 1). This means Israel (See Isa. 5:1-7 Jer. 2:21, Pa. 80:8). The Lord went to particular pains to make this nation separate. He be- stowed peculiar favors upon it. 3. The husbandmen (v. 1). These were the rulers and teachers of Israel, even members of the Sanhedrin. They were the spiritual guides of the people. 4. Servants sent for the fruit of the vineyard (vv. 2-3). These were the various prophets whom God sent to the nation. The maltreatment and rejection of the prophets are fully set forth in the Scriptures. 5. The well-beloved son sent (vv. 0-9). The son here is the Lord Jesus Christ, God's only and beloved Son He came into their midst. 6. Their punishment (vv. 0-12) Jesus now asked them for their own verdict upon such villainous ingratiude. He took the place of a judge and pronounced judgment upon them on the basis of their own verdict. They not only rejected the kingdom, but the Son who was King; there fore the kingdom was taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. II. The Son of Man Coming in Glory (18:1-37). This is part of the well known Olivet discourse. It gives a prophetic view of the course of time from its utterance just before the crucifixion to the second advent of Christ. Two great facts are before us in this prophetic utterance, the destruction of Jerusalem and the second coming of Christ. The one was near, having taken place within forty years of the crucifixion of Christ; the other is still future. The order of events as outlined are: 1. Moral condition of the world during Christ's absence (vv. 1-13) This pictures the present age and the result of preaching the gospel in this age many shall come saving "I am Christ and shall declare many." There shall be wars and rumors of wars. Nation shall be plotted against nation and kingdom against kingdom, with earthquakes in diverse places, accompanied with famine and pestilence. The witnesses of Christ shall be persecuted and arraigned be fore rulers and kings. Brother shall betray brother to death and the further the son. Children will rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death. The preachers of the gospel shall be hated for Christ's sake. 2 The days of the tribulation (vv. 14:23). In this time the Antichrist will ap pear according to the prophecy of Daniel. So severe will be the persecu- tion that except the Lord shorten the days no flesh could be saved, but for the elect's sake the days shall be shortened. 3. The great advent (vv. 24-31). This shall be preceded by great physical disturbances in the world. The moon shall be darkened, the stars of heaven shall fall. "Then shall they see the Son of Man com- ing in the clouds with great power and glory and He will gather His elect from the uttermost parts of the earth and heaven." 4. Instructions in view of the com- ing of the Lord (vv. 82-34). The day and the hour of his coming are unknown to man. In view of this uncertainty we should watch and pray. III. Warnings. Running through the thirteenth chapter is the exhortation to take heed In teaching the lesson it would be well to gather them up in their order. 1. Take heed against devilers (v. 6). 2. Take heed to yourselves (v. 0). 3. Take heed against the time of the Lord's coming (v. 33). The one command to all is "watch" The Cross and Discipleship The cross is the pattern of service and suffering for the disciples of Christ. The great demand of Jesus was and is for people who can suffer it is of no use trying to get the cross out of discipleship. They go together and will, until the world has been redeemed—Charles Brown. An Active Faith Belief is the acceptance of a map Faith is the taking the voyage.—Itev. J. H. Jowett, D. D. B. Y. P. U. LESSON Text 1, John 3:16-20 The Christian aim of recreation is to prepare the individual for more effective work. It is because of this that recreation has a definite place in the divine plan. When recreation therefore, is true to its name it is a blessing in that it eliminates the unhealthy, strengthens and tones the body for its best. That kind of recreation which makes the body most fit is in harmony with the laws of nature and we are so constituted that whatever contributes to the development of our body, mind or spirit is in accord with the law of God whether in nature or revelation and because it is in harmony with His plans whatever is good for one element of man's nature is good for the whole. The main objective of recreation is to rebuild and invigorate for service to others. Christ gave us an example in life's investment when He invested His life not for money, but for men. The great purpose of His life was to save and develop men for larger and fuller lives. Mercy was a distinctive characteristic of Jesus, love was His destructive nature. Sharing our blessings with others is the fruit of love, it longs to do something for its object and is only satisfied with sacrificial service. Recreation that does not make us more fit for service, tends to make us more unfit and should be avoided for the sake of the cause. Recreation that can be questioned on reasonable grounds should be avoided. We should be temperate in our recreation that is otherwise helpful becomes harmful. An exercise that is wrong within itself for one Christian is wrong for all of them. AN ESSAY BY MRS. ODA M. FIELDS "Occasions Promising Profit and Social Enjoyment in the B. Y. P. U." "Occasions Promising Profit and Social Enjoyment in the B. Y. P. U." The monotomy of a regular, unvaried course of procedure is apt to kill the spirit of any organization. Especially is this true of an organization for young folk. A diversified program appeals to that inclination in our nature that is our nature that is always looking for something new, and herein lies the opportunity for occasions that will break the monotomy of routine, turn the mind from the worn channel, yield a financial profit and also furnish social enjoyment. These are vitally necessary to the life and success of a Model B. Y. P. U. If the occasion is one where finance is the main objection, it should not always be of the regular type of social where public is invited to come and buy ice cream and sandwiches, but if supplemented by some novel and unique feature, will be more apt to attract a crowd, prove interesting and a neat sum realized; Finance is necessary, we certainly cannot get along without it. And there is always a group of eager young folks, who really enjoy this phase of the work. However, I think we should use discretion and not make these occasions common by having them too frequently. Entertainments of a purely social nature without any idea of financial profit are of untold value to any religious organization. It has too long been the policy of our religious bodies to be always asking and seldom giving. The prevailing spirit of Christianity is a giving spirit. The social side of life is as important in fully rounding out are individual as are the other phases of his nature What is true of the unit, is also true of the whole. Hence, we should strive to develop the social life of our B.Y.P.U. Give a child his medicine and an orange at the same time and he will take the dose with a smile. He gets the medicine and it will do him good. Give our young people the instruction and training that is necessary to develop the spirit; sweeten it a little now and then with a little innocent, social pleasure and they will grow healthy and strong, morally and spiritually as we desire them to do. Suppose the girls of a stated group should give notice of a sewing party to Le held in the church parlor. The boy working the reatest buttonhole will be given a prize; other games, and guessing contests will be enjoyable. Refreshments free! Only the promise of good behavior, the admission. You are welcome! COME!! Can you imagine them staying away? Or the boys of another group announce a Farmers Party. Boys, wear overalls and wide straw hats, girls wear gingham aprons and sunbonnet. Refreshments in keeping with the idea free! The occasion will greatly help in solving one problem on which our success has hinged; that of holding those we have and interesting others. Soon those not interested or not attending B. Y. P. U. will be found in attendance there, because they want to be included in the "gang." If we must some time use a little strategy to accomplish an end, I am sure to such and end, these means are indeed justifiable. So, occasions both for profit and social enjoyment, fill their own peculiar place in the B. Y. P. U. Program. We will not sacrifice one for the other. Both are essential. Our good judgment will help us use the right one in the right place at the right time. Osawatomie Doings May 19.—Sunday School at Ebenezer, Baptist Church was late, but had good attendance.

HARRIS We have all heard of how the kings of old had footmen and horsemen, butlers and armies to do their bidding, but no one of them ever had as much power at his command or control as the modern American business man, be he a manufacturer on a small scale or captain of some large industry—he has the electric motor to perform the work of many men in his business kingdom. Picture in your mind the comforts and conveniences which electricity has brought to these modern American queens and kings. Now please turn your attention to the many hundreds of details of operation of a modern electric generating and transmission line system which must be scrutinized with the greatest care in order that these modern kings and queens, these American citizens, may have their wishes obeyed. It is the duty of the general manager to scrutinize with the most zealous care every detail of operation; watching the big generating stations, transmission line system, distribution systems, the Kansas Gas and E "At Your and Electric "At Your Service" Kansas Gas and Electric Company "At Your Service" largely on our state indebtedness.

Jackson, who preached from 2nd Cor. 9:7 "God Loveth a cheerful giver." He laid it on our hearts to give to the cause of Christ, cheerfully; the message was gladly received. The Captains of the church clubs have gone into a ship race; naces:—No. 1, is Battleship, Main; No. 2, is Ship of Zion; No. 3, is White Star; No. 4, has not chosen its name yet. The ship that makes the most mots will get a worth while prize to be divided among his club. Members are all interested and enthused in the plan, and each captain with his members, is trying to win the prize. B. Y. P. U., at 6:30 o'clock, Mrs. Susie Williams, Pres. in charge; less topic: "The values and dangers in recreation," taught by Rev. M. J. Jackson, Full discussion on lesson. The graduates from O. H. S., are Mr. Wayman Johnson and Miss Bethel Reed. Those graduating from O. G. S. to O. H. S. were Theodore Smith, Miss Gertrude Davis, Miss Helen Monroe, Miss Catherine Turner. Some of the A L L o f u s. through song, story and history, have heard of queens who had many servants to do their bidding. Any modern American housewife who has her home electrically equipped is the equal of any queen in that she has six or eight servants to do her bidding—and there is no danger of these servants gossiping about family affairs.

SLADEN General Manager There are more than 52,000 customers on the lines of Kansas Gas and Electric Company who expect instantaneous electric service, whether it be the pressing of a button for a small light in the home, or the throwing of a switch for the starting in motion machinery equipped to turn out in a short time products where values sun into hundreds of thousands of dollars. This far flung system, with its scores of towns, great power plants, miles of transmission and distribution lines, is a vast, complicated webb of detail which must work in perfect harmony. There must be a perfect synchronism, to use an electrical term, on the part of every individual and every piece of machinery if the modern American kings and queens are to be served adequately. With all of the many trying details of operation, your general manager really gets a thrill out of his many duties in seeing to it that customers of Kansas Gas and Electric Company get an electric service as nearly perfect as it can be made.

(Continued next issue) WATCH TOWER NOTES Those planning to attend the World's baptist Alliance should procure lodging before starting on the trip—White President Winning for elections. WTN Leaders of the S. S. and B. Y. P. P. U. colleagues which is to be held, June 29-24, 1928 at Milwaukee, expect a large and enthralling delegation. Every outstanding S. S. and B. Y. P. U., must send a delegate. WTN— Our S. S. Pub. Board is well equipped for doing all kinds of work. Any state paper or bound having a job to "farm out" will find it printable and expedient to have it done by your own Publishing House. WTN— The wonder and glory of our Bible is too great for human mind to visualize. Not only is it the most popular book in the world, but the "best issue" and found in nearly all homes, millions of copies being sold every year—in 1925 it was distributed to over 9,000,000 people. WTN Some one has aptly said concerning the practical side of the Christian Church: it is the greatest business ever built! It is the oicest, has the most workers and the widest market. WTN People are finding out things! Sages and philosopers say out plainly that the great need of today and what men seek vainly everywhere else but at the true source, is religion—not a set of rituals, or ceremonies but the old-fashioned religion that makes us love one another—the religion which is the essence of life—which is life! WTN During the past three months, I have visited churches in the State o. Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and have never found passions more happy in their work nor addresses and sermons prepared with more cries. Everywhere the low level of spiritual life is being explored and renewed efforts made to bring the people back to the town. These times call for sincere consecration and an abiding faith. WTN An organization as large as Our National Baptist Convention with so many interests for character-building and spiritual uplift (and none of them primarily for money-making) should be very positive with all of the men and women who lead in the management of any of its agencies. Every one of us should reear to disobey the voice of our Convention lest we be held to a street accounting and subject ourselves to suspicion and dismissal. Our principle objectives should be the good of the churches and the advancement to King-om Work. W I N We are to celebrate this year the 2021 Anniversary of one of the World's great Baptists, who for his lifelong sustained long years of imprisonment — in the days when to be a Baptist was a great crime, (or worse) as to be a murderer. Out of the many years in the county jail, John Bunyan the "linker of Bedford, not only exercises it romantically but write a number of books, discourses, beatles, poems—a spiritual autobiography—"Grace Abounding," and his most widely known work, the immortal "Pigman's Progress," the simple and touching allegory of the Christmas journey "form this world to that which is to come." We preachers would do well not only to re-read this wonderful religious romance but to preach at least one sermon on it during this, the Buyen ter-cienary year. It is sad of Bunyan, no man ever studied his Bible more." Yours in His Name, L. G. JORDAN, Historian. Topcka News Notes ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A. L. Branch, Pastor.

Skirner, 507 Spring St. Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topeka, October 4-9,1927 Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topeka, October 4-9,1927 TO THE CHURCH AND PASTOR: My Lear Co-laborers: 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 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 I ad them forth in this much needed and buttiness-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Minister-s 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. 4-9, 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.

MARTIN Carrollton. Miss. Her first article was, "Bridle The Tongue;" which was to have been continued, but since another day has gone into history known as Mothers' Day, and the Lord has so wonderfully blessed me with a mother, I feel it my duty to pass my thoughts and ideas on to others. Every one who has been blessed with a mother until they have reached the teens knows what it means to have a mother; but every one who hasn't a mother should have the sympathy of those who have, when Sunday May 13th, the whole world, celebrated Mothers' Day. I hope, no matter what your place in life may be, you should not forget that dear mother, even though she has passed beyond this vale, still, mother our loved one. I hope no one forgot their mother for dear mother was secretly nursing. She could not be forgotton. I hope no mother was forgotton that day. Every daughter should remember the woman who had passed through the shadow of death for her; in fact every child should remember the mother who saved at midnight that no harm befall her child. The sweetest of all names is "MOTHER". When friends or sweethearts all seem to give you a cold-shoulder or a look of scorn; mother will stand by you; Jesus Mother and Home are the sweetest names in language or on tongue. Motherhood is the highest office any woman can attain. It is the sacred duty of every man to love, cherish and honor mothers above all other earthly possessions; above themselves and next to God. Some people seem to forget that they drew their first life's blood from their mothers. Some seem to forget the hours and months when they could not do for themselves, and was dependent upon the loving care of that dear mother. To neglect your mother is an unpardonable crime. Yet we have many who are seemingly daily forgetting that dear loving soul as soon as they feel that they are self-sustaining. Friends, of all the sins we may have to answer for in that great day, don't let it be the neglect of mother, your closest and dearest friend except Jesus. You can never live a life long enough to pay that mother for what she suffered for your very existence. No tongue can describe—but always do your bit, remember her, honor and cherish her, and care for until this fleeting life shall pass away. E. B. B.

Nujol School nurse says all girls should know this ```markdown ``` 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 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 druggist has this remarkable substance.
