Many of those who preach the Gospel in this country will blush when the Sa. viour calls them to give an account of their labors in His cause and tells them, “I commanded you to go Into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature;” The Saviour may ask, “where have ier, been?” “What have you been doing?” “Have you endeavored to the utmost of your abihty to fulfill the commands I gave you?” Or nave i sought your own gratification and your own ease, regardless of my commands?” "— Lott Carey—Jan. 21, 1921, —WwIn—— “As closely connected, and as af- fectionately attached to the Ameri- can Baptist Publication Society as I am, I could not be 80 disloyal, to re bel against my race and denomina- tion after the National Baptist Con- vention had decided by a vote to es- tablish a National Baptist Conven- tion had decided by a vote to estab- lish a National Baptist Publishing House, I am @ loyal Baptist and a loyal Negro.

Let us learn their achieve- ments, and cherish this memory. —WIn— Just a little foresight at our an- nual meetings during 1928 will give us a fair idea of the denominational strength of our people save, money raised, and the number of Baptists in all our churebes. The Congress in Biwankee, the World Alliance in Toronto, the World Convention in Los Angeles, and our Natiqnal Baptist Convention in Louisville, for 1928, will furnish schools of methods, inspiration and worth-while information for any and all sorts and religious _and uplift work. The best prepared men and women in spiritual things to be found will lead in all these meetings. ‘Attend as many as you can and be etter fitted for your work. —WIn— Without a good, religious paper vag your home, rey you can’t do your best in the training of your children.

The object of the meeting was well and plainly stated by President B,.L. Marchant, who sald; that it was the duty and wishes of the mine {sters to help every worthy enters prise and they stood ready to help! ‘hey wanted to know if the business men felt the need of the miniaters} what did they want todo? The buss iness men stated from many angles what shay needed frum the minister, since he had the ears of the people. They asked for his patronage, first and his infuence to turn the custom: ers to Negro enterprises, Many pledged lionest and faithful service to the public and only asked for a chance to prove that they were as fair and honest as any man, Others thought that the Negro should have the trade whether he measured up or not, but the final ¢onclusion to the whole matter that’ men should not keep any loafers, and should stand by business principles. Ifthe ministers will stand by this there are some businesses in Wichita, will move onward and unward, while some will perish, We think the mecting was very helpful and may Tyean a chance of verdict on bot! sides.

HAYES AND WIFE GRADUATE An event of more than usual sig- nificance was the graduation of Rev. J. Wesley Hayes and his wife, Mrs. Lotta Louisa Hayes, from the Uni- versity of Wichita, This event took place Tuesday morning June 5th. here were seventy-four in the class, Rev. and Mra. Hayes being the only colored members and the first of our race group to finish a course in this splendid institution of learning. Al- ready these noted Christian Workers had won diplomas and degrees from other Institutions, Both graduated from Western College in Missouri, then from the State University at Louisville, Kentucky. From ‘this school both took their A. B. degrees, while Rev. Hayes took also Theology, graduating with the Bachelor of Di- vinity dgeree. With a thirst for knowledge unsatisfted, wherever Dr. Hayes was calld to pastor and an sprontonity presented itself both he and his talented wife Ict down ther buckets. for a deeper draught of knowledge. Hence both have laid broad and deep, a foundation not only in the technical knowledges of their calling but have surveyed the many branches of learning that administer to ripe scholarship and real_culture. During these years as pastor of the, great Calvary Bat church Dr, Hayes has accomplished a marvelous work, He has paid thousands of dol- | lars of indebtedness. Ie has thor- oughly organized his church along modern hnes of church activity, 80 that Calvary is one of the outstand- ing churches in the great Middle West. With his work well in hand and in a flourishing condition, this progressive pastor and his good wife availed themselves of the chance of- fered and matriculated as students in the University of Wichita. Having covered in.an effective manner s0 many subjects in their former school work, it was with some difficulty that they made out a list of subjects cov- ering a year’s work, which when com- pleted, won for them the Bachelor of Arts degree from the Municipal Uni- versity of the city of Wichita, Thus have these aggresvive mem- bers of our race capitalized their time, energies and opportunities to gain scholarly prestige and to re pare for a larger and more efficient service to God and humanity, In recognition of his rare piety, MMs attainments in theology, bis ripe scholarship and his ability as a pas- tor and an able preacher of the Gos- rel of Christ, the Western College, Kansas City, Miseourl, through its faculty and board of managers, at ita Annual Commemecement, May 25th, conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity on Rey. Hayes This is a merited honor and will be creditably borne by the recipient. In the achievement of Dr. Hayes and his wife, we have a shining ex- ample of what even @ busy pastor and wife may accomplish when wil- ling to sacrafice and study, What they have done, others can do. The challenge is persistent for a higher type of scholarship in ranks of the ministry, To fall to respond tothis challenge is to invite failure and the calamity of being set aside by reason of inability to meet the demands of this modern age that is dawning up- on us, Let the Baptist Brotherhood of Kansas particularly, and the West, rise un and congratulate Dr, and Mrs. J. Wetiey.

THE NEW NEGRO He scana the world with calm and fearless eyes, Conscious within of powers long, since forgot; At every step, now man-made bare riers rise To bar his progress—but he hedes them not, He stands erect, though tempests round him crash, Though thunder bursts and billows surge and roll; He laugha and forges on, while lightnings flash, Along the rocky pathway to his goal. Tmpassive as a Sphinx, he stares ahead— Foresees new empires rise and old ones fall; While caste-mad nations lust for blood to shed, He see God's finger writing on the wall, With soul awakened, wise and strong he stands, Holding his destiny within his hands. —J, E, MeCALL, in Opportunity.

We should have Religious or Christian Education because i t makes of its subject the best, It prepares its posscteee to live best and to give the best service to others, Education that is Christian, fs dis- ciptinu that enables the individual to find God in nature, expericnce ant revelation, It also brings one in fellonship with the Christ ideal and fe. . Parents are our earliest and should Le our best teachers. Among the Jews the father was the ruler, par- ent and teacher. A good father will direct his son aright by precept and example, Knowledge Is the accumulation of facts, understanding $s knowing what to do with these facts, anu wisdom is the application of thesc facts in their propgr relation to hfe, Wisdom is the principle thing be- cause it is the proper use of hnowl- edge and understanding, A long and happy life may be found in obedience to the Davine love as revealed in science and reves lation. | et wisdom, keep wisdom and love wisdom, because honor, and glory, only fom through her channels, ristian education gives know!- edge, understanding and wisdom without which ne individual or peo: ple can serve the place for which God created them, We should not worry 80 much about the Buble being out of the schools, but rather that Christ is left out of the life of the teachers We should concern ourselves, there- fore, most, with the thing that mat- ters most in Education, which fs teachers with Christian Education, who live on earth but ther lives are ruled from above.
