Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE DUTY'S CALL BY REV, D. B. JACKSON, Moderator of the Kaw Valley Dist. Association and the Subordinate Conventions, and Friends of the Common Welfare of Christian Education and its Entirety: Never before, in the history of our great organization has the financial needs, been as great at this present time. The many Missionaries (pastors) and stations as we see them, should fill each Christian soul with much anxiety, to do more this year than before. The Theological Seminary, for the Education of our coming Ministry and Christian workers, should have a greater Financial help than ever before. Let us Magnify this Institution by what we do for it at the coming assembly which will be held with the Ninth (9) Street/Baptist Church, Lawrence, Kansas, Rev. G. N. Jackson D. D. Pastor, July 31-Aug. 5, 1928. It is up to us to plead the Master's cause, for we are His Representative in charge of the Kingdom Building. We have material and plenty of it. Bring all needed material with you, and fire up the city with Gospel fuel (fire) firm above. Your talent, consecrated time, consecrated life; consecrated will and these blended in one holy unit, will bring spiritual and financial aid to sustain these great objects for the cause of humanity and give strength to every vibrating fiber in our outer and inner lives. Let pastors, deacons, and all Christian workers, each one answer, More Am I, Count On Me. We need every church and its auxiliaries to co-operate in putting over this great program. Dear Brother:—Let no one in the Disclet think that his church should not be represented; let it be ever so small or large, for where there is not be represented; let it be ever so union there is strength. Heed the call, which means much to enlarge the work, which has been left in charge of the learners of Christ, and lovers of Christianity. There can be no failure with such men and women as those who compose this great District. Be strong and quit ye like men and women of old. YMCA COLORED ASSOCIATIONS PROPOSE to observe 75th Anniversary and 40th of first Secretary, W. A. HUNTON. The Colored Branches of the Y. M. C.

EDGAR BAILEY My, what a gigantic blunder! Today, my own soul, like a terror stucken bird, leaps within its own casement, as you wantonly even dramatically snatch nineteen pages from the book of your all out eventful life. No, Williams, that you are more culpable or less blame worthy than they—not that you are less or more instinct, vely brute than those who cannage their men behind embellished screens and mask their shame in houses with painted windows; but surely you knew, as your russet brown hands shook the dice with death, the hand of sordid Custom had already written the dictum,—"You Shall Not Pass;" surely you knew, as the criminal, absolutes or presumed, that you like others or your kith and kind, would be obliterated from the face of all the earth, and wiped like a blot from the page of human memory forever! What inexplicable fears, what forebodings must be yours. The shadow of the scaffold which you mortified by your ever thoughtless act, grows long as the youthful gun of your life sinks heavily behind the changing wonders of its tall wilt purple and gold! Think of it boy, nineteen summers worn as thoughtlessly light as the breath of May. Years which should have graced your youthful brow like a crown of burnished gold. Nineteen uneventful years checkered with failure, now scattered like so many autumnal leaves before the fillet t gust of your budding years. Prematurely even abruptly you have come to the end of the trail, careworn, sick at heart and like a bruised reed, waiting to be broken; not without relenting, perhaps you have tried to retract, but the iron hand of destiny closes in behind you the gate of an irreparable past and there is no land of beginning again! Offenses more grave than yours will yet occur. Criminals more hardened than you will yet appear to glide the pageantry of human woe. To these we will eternally be accustomed—but as to the incompatibility of justice, meted out to groups of man-kind, with evidences of crime identical. NEVER! NEVER! Indiana Avenue Church L. K.

Mr President, Messengers, Friends and Fellow Citizens: We have come to this place with palms of victory and we give God the glory for being spared to deliver this the fourth annual address. We are aware of the fact that, we have not measured up to our every opportunity, but there still remains a desire to go forward and upward. We have met foes on every hand; we have misappointments from both friends and enemies. We have quested in our minds, what meant this? We have sat and heard lies told to carry a selfish point from Christian leaders and said: "My God, what will be the future." We have met many brave men, who would dare death to carry on their contracted ideas, but we have met only a few courageous Christians, who would do the unusual thing, because it was right to do it without a thought of recompense or desire to even be honored in glorious words or decorated with medals. We mean, we have met but few people who would say: "Give the Glory, He is would say: "Give God the Glory, He is worty; only the love of God constrained me and I must work the works of Him, who sent me." Young people, you must not be moved—adjust your field-glasses of Faith and see the foot-paths of the Saviour; anchor deeper hope in the truths of God's word; Be certain that the breastplate of righteousness is yours and in its place; and with Gornelshoes on your feet, you are ready to go forward; but you must not enter any battle without being protected by the helmet of Salvation, which will safeguard the vitality of this end eternal life. Observation To Last Recommendation We wish to pause to thank you for carrying out our last recommendation as fully as you have. I know it takes time to change habits and customs, but the right kind of spirit will prevail and bring all things to pass in accordance with the will of the Heavenly Father. We have worked out a constitution that will blend with the State Constitution, but still some of the leaders cannot will not understand it nor attempt to work. We are able to let the State know what was done in dependence, Kansas in 90 days, because of the fine co-operation and service rendered by both secretaries: Misses Mattie L. Bradshaw and Lois Grimes. They are efficient and have the work at heart. We keenly appreciate the fact that every district is in harmony with the work and has given place on their programs to lay on the hearts of the young Christians their duties to the State Work and how to meet them. The ministers should give privileges for the young Christians to carry their part of the obligations. We hope every Union will have at least one at the Summer School in Topeka, Kansas, July 8-13. There is so much more joy in service, when you know how to serve. Visita In The State. It has been with pleasure, we have answered every call, some have cost a great sacrifice, but all that earthly goods cannot or will not afford, the heavenly rewards will give some day. We spent one evening with New Hope, Witchita, found Bro. Cash striving to systemate a large number of young people. We spoke on duties of officers, our visit to St. Mary revealed the fact that they are well organized and filled with enthusiasm. We added bur help and encouragement to their zeal and still they march on. Bro. James Moon is their president. We found at Hutchinson, a number of earnest workers, but more of a lecture course and literary society. They need much to make a Model Union, although they have a very fine young woman, Mrs. Pratt at the head. We peeped on the on Union at Calvary, Toneka, but at an in-opportune time, as they were preparing for a pageant that evening, so we were not able to get an exact survey. However, they have a fine young woman leading, At Pratt, we found a great and busy character leading the Union in the person of Mrs. Flemmings, we delivered two addresses on Union organization and operation, and she and they took notes and promised to put into practice what they had seen and heard. We served as president of the Program Group at Calvary Union and we see daily their needs and are trying to assist them. We held three Encampments, which were joys of our life, when we are able to whip in to shape a bunch of workers and leave willing and ready to do, then knowing how, viz. New Mt. Zion, Abilene, with Bro. W. B. Gary, President; Antioch, Topeka, with Bro. E. Dukes, president, and New Hope, Chanute, with Bro. Bartlett, president. We have visited and worked in the Smoky Hill River, Southeastern, Southwestern and Neosho Districts and left some ideas of a model union. The presidents are getting the vision and idea of real unions and their values. National Congress in Nashville The National B. Y. P. U. and S. S. Congress in Nashville.

Samuel Fritsch) I do not care, O mother mine, If scmet, me you see harsh and stern If you read lectures, line on line, Anu words that fiercely sting and wurn I shall not mind your painful blow, Nor yet resent your reprimand, If in my heart I truly know That you, my mother, ununderstand, I do not care, O son of m.e. If xtimes you are mischievous; If o'er reproof you pout and whine, And o'er correction make a fuss; If e'en sometimes you disobey. And lightly spurn what I command, And chance me mock. I only pray That you, my son, will understand. O fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, Keep close together on life's way. Beware the tno't that wayward runs Beware the love that goes astray! Though disagreements off arise Within the home's congenial band; There's caught can break the filial ter on talk, each other understand. U.N. D.E.R. deded a success. The marks of advancement was evident in method finances and numbers. This was a history making season and the messengers left for home with burning zeal to support the building House and make possible for greater literature. They saw with their own eyes one of the master achievements for the denomination. Every Union in this Convention should have at least one messenger at the Congress in Milwaukee, Wis., June 20-24, 1928. This will awaken a National Consciousness that ought to exist in God's Christian's Heart. Death The gate to endless joy was opened and Sacrament Eva. White and Rosa Jones have entered and left us longing for their presence. They have fought well the battles of life and won in Jesus' name and would not return from His holy presence to be with us. Our Publishing House Your publishing house We are still pleading for our S. S. Publishing House, and asking for full support by ordering your literature and sending your donations. We are hoping at this session that the young people will be pr privileged to pay their full pledge of $100,000 Think of your B. Y. P. U. Publishing Board always, first, and others only when you cannot get what you want from it. Will the Present System Make Ch. Will it be possible for the next generation to reach over the criticizing Christian, false leader, self-centered minister and make church lovers and the next generation better? Is a question to consider. The church has been so conducted until the world and even the church members think of it as a created position for a minister to get support for himself and his family. All financial roads lead to his pocket or the road is usually fenced up with wires of objective influences by the ministers and ecclesians. Restaurant keepers constantly complain about the churches running restaurants without license, while they have to pay. The Second Hand Man wonders why he cannot sell rumage and second hand things when that is his business, to support his famil and in fact, the world and laymen are wondering why would the church take advantage and commercialize in an illegal way, while the truth of the Gospel is the Golden Rule. Now, the present system is a system of give until you feel it, with no hope of any returns. The Church is the young people; "We love you and soul." The young people are saying to the church: "Prove it, spend some money on us like the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., and let us go sometime and receive the light." They are saying: "Receive the hard to keep us from going." "We hear what you say, but we see what you do." Now, this rebellious spirit is created, because the Church has created it, thus, this fine young blood drifts to the clubs, dances, lodges and worldly things that happen some money things to prove that they love them and want them to have a chance. You are not fooling youth in the church any more than you are fooling youth in the home. They see the ring, they figure out the reason of the ring and what it takes to maintain it. They express themselves boldly to one another, then relish from the activities of the church in the teen ages. The young people's ideas are found in the ideas of the older persons or members, who believe in "keep it dark money." Money and self first have blotted the future for the young people and older people make all of the places of gratination, at any cost, while the church sits back and says: "We cannot afford that much money." This is part of what Mr. Harold Bell Wright has to say in the June American Magazine:— (Continued on page three) BOSTON, MASS. 1928—The National headquarters here. 9 Corn- Five Cents Per Copy REV. ADAMS WARNS AGAINST 'THE SINS OF BABYLON' (Preston News Service) HARRISBURG, ILL., June 28—Addressing a large audience of white and colored people Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Dr. R. A. Adams, of hannsas City, Kans., the noted evangelist and social welfare worker, won great applause and made a profound impression when he delivered an address on behalf of the hood." Pleading for a physical, mental, reliable, moral and Christian manhood, Dr. Adams said in part: "PHYSICAL DEGENERACY "We are amid an era of physical degeneracy, mental defectiveness, moral decadence, and religious apostacy. The cause and remedy are within our comprehension and also within our reach. "Vial statistics show physical decay; of this we have confirmation in the fact that the period of human longevity has degenerated from 969 years—the age of Methuselah—to about 32 years, the average longevity of today. This is true despite the wonderful progress in materia medica, surgery, sanitation, etc. "This physical degeneracy is due to foolish, nerve-wrecking excuses, reckless use of alcohol, and the terrible ravages of venereal diseases. By means of heredity these causes and their baneful effects are almost infinitely multiplied and intensified to the serious detriment of the race and nation. MENTAL DEFECTIVENESS "The probably fifty millions of morons, adults with the mental equipment of a child of from five to twelve years tell the story of mental defectiveness. All the institutions for the insane and the feeble-minded are overflowing and increased capacity is an urgent demand; and the causes underlying physical decay are also responsible for this mental defectiveness. MORAL DECADENCE "The evidence of this condition is everywhere manifest, and the time will come when, in the interest of human society and the perpetuity of the nation, other states and the national government will follow the example of Virginia, and enact laws requiring that these human defectives shall be sterilized and thus prevent the propagation of the unfit.

Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (B) REV. P. VITWAIEN D.U., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (18, 1988 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for July 8 LESSON TEXT—Acta 22 3.4.19.20. 26 4.5.11; 7 64.3.2 GOLDEN TEXT—Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life. PRIMARY TOPIC→Saul's Cruelty to Christian People JUNIOR TOPIC—How Saul Persecuted Stephen and Others INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Is Conscience a Safe Guide? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Stephen's Influence on Saul. 1. Saul's Training (22:3, 4; 23:4, 5, 0, 11. 1. Taught to love his own nation (w.3). He declared, "I am a Jew" Saul was a strict Pharisee. The Pharisees were the nationalists of their day being a strict Pharisee he was there fore a patrol. Those who are intellectually loyal to their own nation can most effectively help others 2. Taught to love God's law (v 3) "Taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers. Love for the Bible is a valuable asset in life. To be destitute of love and reverence for God's Word is to be out on life's ocean without chart or compass. 3. He was zealous toward God (v 3). His heart and soul went out toward God with great enthusiasm. The root meaning of the word "zealous" is "to boil." It means a passion for God and His work. It was zeal for God that made Saul think of and plan for His work. II. Saul Hears the Voice of Jesus (Acts 3, 10). It was while on his way to Damascus with authority to arrest and imprison Christ's disciples that he heard a voice from heaven saying, "Why persecute thou Me?" It was this sight of the living Christ that wrought the change in Saul III. Saul Thoroughly Conscientious (Acts 20:9, 10) In his conscientiousness he opposed Jesus, for he regarded Him as an impostor. Saul is to be commended in that he responded to his conscience, but he is condemned for his attitude toward Jesus. Conscience is the law of life for every man, but it needs to be regulated by God's Word. IV. Stephens' History (621-15). In order to understand the signif cance of Stephen's martyrdom, a synthetie view should be obtained of his life. 1. Chosen as a 'deacon (G:1-7). He was one of the seven men appointed to look after the temporalities of the church. 2. Why Stephen was opposed (0.8-15). In his work of charity he testified of Jesus Christ and by the Holy Spirit wrought miracles. These mighty deeds aroused the people. The following features characterized him: (1) Wisdom. He was a man of common sense. (2) Grace. He had a beautiful character. (3) Power. He had the ability to do wonders and great signs, and he spake the truth effectivel. The men who opposed him were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. Not being able to withstand him, they arrested and brought him before the great council. Even here they could not silence him by argument, so they decided to do it by violence. V. Stephen's Martyrdom (7:54-61) Stephen made a magnificent defense before the council. This he did by tracing the history of Israel from the call of Abraham to the crucifixion of Christ. His aim was to show that God had never been localized and that the temple was but a small part of God's plan. He did not speak against the temple, but showed that God did not in the full sense dwell in it at any time. This contention he proved from Scripture (Isn. 61:1, 2; 1 Kings 8:27) In his conclusion he declared that the Jews had always resisted the Holy Spirit. Now their stubbornness had reached its culmination in the betrayal, rejection and murder of the Son of God. This charge cut to the heart. His arguments were unanswerable. In this hour of trial God gave him a wonderful vision. He was permitted to look into heaven itself where he beheld the glorified Son of man standing at the right hand of God. VI. Saul Consenting Unto Stephen's Death (8:1-3) The very ringleader in this persecution was Saul. Stephen's death is described as failing asleep. Devout men buried him, making great lamentation over him. Prayer More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.—Tennison. The Bible Is a Window The Bible is a window in this prison world, through which we may look into eternity.—Timothy Dwight. The praying life cannot be an anxious life. Patience in prayer means a trustful soul.—John Timothy Stone. Happiness Real happiness comes from within. Outside things can never create it. Happiness is a habit. - Ewing Subject: What Baptists Teach and Do. 1 Tim. 1:1-18. The Great Commission embodies the things Baptists teach and do. "I teach them to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you." Make disciples, teach disciples. The text book which governs all our instruction is the Bible. It is believed to be the supreme authority in matters of faith and practice. Doing the will of God by reproducing the life of Christ in the lives of men is the passion of the New Testament Christian. To changeize, educate and actuate to supreme service is the goal of Christian activity. Paul speaks to Timothy with divine authority, "an apostle of Jesus Christ." He pronounces upon his son in the Gospel the Divine benediction then gives reasons why he urges him to stay in Ephesus. That he might keep the doctrine straight and edify the body. Chanty, Paul taught was the basis of right conduct. Love God truly and you will not go wrong. He calls attention to the world be teachers who speak without divine right. The true teacher is from God. The law serves well its purpose. It shows the crooked wall (like a carpenter's square) but leaves the Gospel to make the wall straight. The Law is for the crooked only not for the straight. The square is no longer needed after the wall is made straight by the carpenter, neither do we need the law after the life has been made straight by the Gospel. The Apostle speaks of the Gospel as a trust committee to him. Surely, we should be trusted as ministers of Christ to han le the most precious of God's gifts to man. Paul speaks of what he was by law and what he became by grace. Not what we are but what it is possible for us to become. Honest ignorance may be overlooked but when it is deliberate, due to mental laziness it is quite another thing. Paul persecuted the church ignorantly. We do it knowingly. Paul's vison of himself led him to acknowledge himself to be the chief of sonders. Because he persecuted the saints he became a "Pattern of Suffering." And now upon Timothy, he pronounces the apostolic blessing, urging him to be faithful, courageous, and to fight victoriously. Baptists are true believers baptized in the name of the Trinity, united in love with a dominant passion to do the will of God. Teaching and making men like Christ until the kingdom of the world shall become the Kingdorn of our Lord and His Christ. S Carrollton Happenings WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MISSISSIPPI—By Henry A. Martin.

When our boys and girls can’t go intu one of our theatres to see one of our plays without hearing lan- guage which stretches the limits of vuigarity and profamty, why should ‘we pe snocked when they rip out an occasional decent “damn,” or an horest “go-to-hell?” When vulgar and profane speech on the stage and in our hterature wins our heartiest apy lause, our children certainly have @ tight to expect not censure but conuiendation tor their “cussing.” As long as we—the present respon- mble generation—yield to sex-mad, seli-styled intelligentia the leader- ship in art and lterature—popular- ize sex-madness in our theatres, mo- tion pictures, houses and hbranes— and broadcast through our daily pa- Pers ine minutest uetails of every ‘wrecking sex-mad horror, we should bow in humble admiration before the moral purity of this younger gen- eration. With my own generation trailing with all sorts of queer “httle groups ater every lecturing moron and writing degenerate who preaches ‘tnat indecency is conclusive proof of genious, I cannot work up much gteam over the amateur immorality ot boys and girls, Irreligion? And is our generation ichgious{ ‘True, we call ourselves = Chustian people, but will anyone marmtain that we embody in our lives the ideals and teachings of Je- sus? Our government, our politics, our eourte, our newspapers our schools, our literature, our financial institutions, our mercantile estab- lishments, our army and navy, our society, our labor—can anyone find the ideals and teachings of Jo sus embodied in any of these? The irrehgion of this younger genera- tion is shocking, isn’t it? I wonder, if these. bos and girls should wish to try Christianity as they are try. ing everything else, where would they find a genuine, unadulterated cample of it? They could find the- cries, beliefs, professions; ;but where could they see the thing itself in op- eration? ‘These young people are revolting against religious sham and hypocri- sy and the substitution of denomina- tional machinery and church self- interest for the Christianity of Jesus, Revolts against religion are never born of religion, they are born of priest-craft and ecclesiasticism. By substituting denominational dogmas for the teaching and ideals of Je- tus, and supplanting the spirit of Christianity by the self-seeking in- tolerance of competitive church bodies, the church people themselves have driven the younger to revolt. ‘hese rebellious young people are timply declinirg to accept our self- opinionated church dhgnitaries at thelr own valuation, and are refus- ing to acknowledge the author.ty of n church whico iz in a state of continuous revolt against itself. We church people may fool a few ravages in far-away heathen lands with our pretentions of Christianity, Lat we can't fool modern Young America. The poet savage knows only what our missionaries say about ts, These boys and girls of ours, know Us as we are. Parental authority? Children are rot rebelling against parental au- ortiz, because there {is no such thing! Our generation—we, their parents arranged that. Home Influence? Our generation offers practically no home influence for our chiidren to revolt against, This younger generation, in tact, is no wilder than our own gencra- tion and we, in our hearts know it. But these youngsters aie exhibiting their wildness, while we “oldsters” are concealing ours with the great- est caution. They are discussing boldly and doing openly, the same things which we talk about in whis- isrs and do under cover. If only they would do az we do, hide their sins and pretend to have virtues, which they have not, we would be us and our ‘keep-it-cark” morality, ‘They are shouting and jeering, “Aw, we know youl lou aint slippin’ anything over on us. Why con't you come out into the open? Yeu nuvent the nervel” We, of this generation have about reacned the end of ovr rope, Most of us, deep in our hearts, know it. In spite of our pretense and our ef- forts to save our faces, we no longer believe in ourselves. As our children have come to look with impudent, ir. reverent eyes upon our pretense o1 righteousness, they have sensed our cynical lack of faith in ourselves..

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topeka, October 4-9, 1927 AM SEIS UBUNCE AND PASTOR: My Dear Co-taborers: At the annual session of our State Convention held at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, | 1927, the Convention adoped the more modern yan for carrying for- ward our Missionary and Education- al work (both Home and Foren) and in fact for carrying forward our Convention obligations, Our plan calls for $10,000 annual- ly. 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 Cons 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 $500 each monthly, it mean $126.00, and 25 churches give $3.00 eack 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 an d money to apply on Nationa] Convens tion requirements, Will you Brother Pastor and Of- ficers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please ‘read this fetter 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 Ministers at the last Board ees and the amount for each of the Churches of $6,700.00 was suggested and accepted. The amount for your Church {s in the following list. Please let us know the manner in which you will meet the request, We Piay it will be the monthly regular plan, Please send something, be- ginning thie month, Please pray fo. our work as the Missionary Pastors must carry on and the educational work must not Le neglected. We are the Lord's and the work is His command. He will make pos- sible if we say trust Him. This adopt at our State Con- vention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927, With much prayer and supplica- tion we are wry, respectfully, W. A. BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W.

Before-the-War Reason Why Y ric Rates Are One Reason Electric Rates One Reason Why Your Electric Rates Are Low ```markdown ``` By JOHN H. LAGRANT Purchasing Agent Engineering discoveries, efficient business methods, and careful buying, are the three reasons why we have been able to keep the price per kilowatt hour below prewar levels. As purchasing agent of Kansas Gas and Electric Company, I can assure you that not one penny is wasted in the purchasing of materials, supplies and equipment for the great system which serves you. The department is thoroughly organized.

He seems to be a square man and promises a square deal to all. He thinks the race should have more representation in elections; that it is time to give the race something more than a janitor's job. HOW you retard yourself, your community, your state and government, cannot be estimated by the most accurate or careful school. Because, you will not register and vote. If someone had told your homes so as to prevent you from voting, you would form clubs, join organizations to raise money to secure your rights. Now, you have your rights free and unmolested, and you will not register nor attempt to exercise your authority. Now, it is the natural law to take away from anybody or thing, the things not used, so you had better watch out. If you let this privilege so the officers can hit, mistreat or persecute you without touching their vote, they will do it with ease and more often.

Electric power, today, is the lowest B priced commodity, in comparison with the others, that you can bu ITEMS Before-the-War Level Why Your es Are Low Every possible purchase which can be made from firms in Kansas is to be transacted. Our reasons are simple. First, we have found that business men of Kansas who have commodities we can use give us fair prices. Of equal importance is this fact: Every cent we keep in the communities we serve adds to the prosperity of that community. A prosperous community means more business—including electric business. And so we are community boosters in our purchasing as well as in every other respect.
