The Members of the Junior Bible Club held an interesting meeting on Wednesday afternoon in the home of Mrs. H. Y. Jones. The Program rendered was very much enjoyed. The lesson study for next week will be a review of Rev. 119. Mrs. Jones, the instructor, is leaving for St. Louis, Mo., where she will give a Retreat, before returning home. She will include Springfield, and Kansas City in her trip. All mothers of the city are asked to co-operate with her by visiting and sending their children to join these classes. The club has planned a picnic the last Tuesday in August. MRS. H. Y. JONES, Pres. QUEEN ELLA Hall, Reporter SERVED LONG AND WELL We can say with pride to Mr. Henry James, a postal clerk in the Wichita Post Office for near 30 yrs, who has now been retired with his reward monthly for his excellent service. He was one of the most exact clerks that "Uncle Sam" had in this office. He believed in doing his whole duty and left no loop hole for condemnation. His many phases of business, es, his political career, church affiliations & obligations and his conduct in every way proved that he is a man who thinks, decided and move out on his decision. Mrs. James possesses, that modest and yet charming appearance. She has thought for herself and with him and they have reared a fine family. The boy is now in the East and the two girls are in California. To our regret Mr. and Mrs. James are preparing and will leave us in a few days for Los Angeles, Cal., for their future home. New Hope is giving them their farewell sociar tonight, and it bids fair to be one of the swellest entertainment of the season, with special invited guests, under the management of the good women of New Hope, "who know how." The Star extends wishes for his noble family, but hope they will return to us to dwell with us some day to help put over a Christian and racial program that will please God. EXCELSIOR Excelsior mean higher still, Not satisfied with heights attained, But, with brave heart and earnest will. Climbing till greater heights are gained, Then still with circumstance vie, With "Excelsior" as the cry. "Excelsior" means I'll advance, Though legions may my way oppose, and high the tide of circumstance Against my earnest efforts flows, "Excelsior" I'll cry each day, And still pursue my onward way. "Excelsior" means something done My zealous spirit satisfies; When is complete the task begun, I must higher and higher rise; Allowing naught to hinder me, "Excelsior" my cry shall be! So then, while upward, round by round, Upon life's ladder I must climb, To fate I throw the gaunlet down, Defiant, crying, every time, "Excelsior," all things despite, Tillis attained the utmost height. GETTING BY I listened to a story told by a young man who had heard it told by another. It concerned a brilliant young man, a student of one of the great universities of this country. Though brilliant, this young man was slothful and negligent in his school work and guilty of "cramming" for his quiz. A friend asked him why he did not spread out his efforts through his term and not have to cram to such an extent during the last few years. His answer was, "O, I'll get by." According to the story, this young man, having been graduated, secured employment in a bank as assistant teller. He worked under a man of lesser attainments who was a plodder, and a successful one, but, instead of being inspired by the example of this fellow worker he considered him foolish to work so hard. The president of the bank confirmed to a friend who had recommended this young man that he was not doing well; that he lacked interest and application. This friend asked the young man if he did not think he should be a little more attentive to his work and the reply was, "I'm doing enough to get by." After a few years this careless fellow was "let out;" and a little later this plodding teller was made president of the bank, BECAUSE OF HIS DILIGENCE and his APPLICATION TO THE WORK. The brilliant young man became a sales man for a soap manufacturer and remained a mediocre despite his stalent and his opportunities. In "JUST GETTING BY" he courted failure and it came, as it always will under such circumstances. Many laborers have little interest in their work. They do not safeguard the interest of their employers; they made no efforts toward superior excellence which would mean promotion. Such individuals are just small cogs in the machinery of their profession. They do just enough to "GET BY", just enough to hold their places; others pass them in their journey upwards, and they are wont to attribute such promotion to prejudice or to favoritism: THREE LAGGARDS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN LACK OF PROGRESS. Zealous application, attention to detail, scrupulous regard for minutia all count tremendously in human progress, promotion advancement, and worthwhile achievement. And the "GETTING BY" spirit is and ever will be a detriment to progress and development. WICHITA, KANSAS. FRIDAY, Aug. 10. 1928 MOTHER'S VISIT MADE PLEASANT The stay of Mrs. Augusta Hayes was made pleasant by many social events. Mrs. Frank Reed served a very delightful breakfast in her honor. The guests included Rev. J. W. Hayes, Mrs. L. Hayes, Ernestine, Mrs. Jewel Brown, Mrs. Cleo Collins and Mr. A. Love. Mrs. Ella Gibbs also had mother Haven as honored guests at a bountiful dinner. Others present were Rev. and Mrs. Hayes, Ernestine, Mrs. Reed and Ella Woodard. The Partor's Aid gave a private picnic at McKinley Park, Tuesday in honor of Mother Hayes. This was a very delightful outing. Many, who were not regular workers in the Aid were present. Editor and Mrs. K. T. Sims also Miss Dorothy served a dinner, Sunday July 29, which brought together many mothers. This was a delightful affair. Invitations had been issued by Mr. and Mrs. Robt. F. Strother, Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Green. Mrs. Eliza Crawford and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Neely. The early departure of Mother Hayes for home, owing to the illness of Father Hayes made it impossible to answer these calls. At this writing Father Hayes is just fair. OUR PATRIOTISM OUR NEED IS TO RAISE $15,000 EVERYBODY. LETS KAISE IT! Our Board of Directors are at real work in this community; it's new, it has never been tried anywhere before. The Welfare Club, organized for the betterment of colored people everywhere; but just now is here at home in our city under the leadership of our president Jas. A. B. Cone, who is anxious to establish a Business Center for the employment of a number of colored people here and for the general uplift of all colored citizens of Leavenworth and vicinity. In every good endeavor money is needed and that is what it takes to lay the foundation of this idea to create a general fund big enough to do something worthwhile. No need of being timid or trying to feel anybody, be honest, just, plane; true; patriotic to this most needed service at this time. It is generally belied that nothing of this nature, can be done in this community, but not so with our president. He is of the opinion that we have the best chance of all other community center workers from the natural invironments that surround us here. This is a rich community and civilized enough to know something about beauty, pleasure, lure, happiness, joy and freedom. The effort is worthwhile let us show the rest of our people everywhere how to help beautify any community with our useful and intelligent activities. Now, I think that we ought to raise Fifteen Thousand Dollars easy. Let us challenge the idea with a will as strong as that will; to elect big hearted James Davis Congressman this fall; and as fearless as an Ala. Senator name Helfin to attack the Catholics in this or any other country. Nobody shirk, everybody work, to give yourself work. All that you bring in or send in will be well protected and reported by our club properly. We ought to be more concerned about the luxuries and necessities of life. Nature has abundantly supplied this old world, with enough and with a capacity to more than satisfy ten times the amount of appetites as are of present population. Only 1,906,000,000 souls are now living on the earth and it is said that every 204 years the population double itself at that same ratio in the year of five thousand what will the population then be? Don't be discouraged; this old world is going to exist only upon the basis of good business sense and energy applied and labor done. You may not be concerned in any of the constructive activities, that must precede prosperity for any race, but that carelessness and idle stupidity does not check nor hinder, the on going of nature and her laws; it is best to do our best. Be honest, start now. Fools wait. What is the use of putting it off, for some future time? Or for someone else to take all of the responsibility, when you get ready, all chances are shipped away to the end of the rainbow. Change and chance, hope and courage surprise and disappointment are the constant reward for human struggles. Be not dismay, nothing is accomplished without effort or energy applied. Don't be always looking on the dark side, who is the smart man? Who is the wise man? Who is the good man? Ist. He who can and do think and see, 2nd. He, who knows and can reason, 3rd. He, who is obedient and will do what he knows of right to be done—for an idea must be foreseen; planned for, calculated on. Let us put our time in and get together $15000 and start in on our little business to educate and practice reality. BY JAMES A. CONE, 200 Klowa Street. CALVARY CELEBRATES FIF TIETH ANNIVERSARY --- Last Sunday marked the Fifth'eth Anniversary for Calvary Baptist Church, at which time Rev. Matt. S. Jones of Isunita, Colo., was the speaker of the whole day. He preached two wonderful sermons, morning and evening, on the Church and its duties to the Communities. At 3 p.m. Rev. Jones gave a fine reminiscence of the church from its early beginning until now. He told of the struggle and trials and its steady growth. How they once came to church with sticks ready to fight, how they would shout, how when the first organ and choir sang and an old sister became so disgusted she started for the door and fell. How it moved from Wichita Street to the present place, what influence different ministers had on the congregation. Some of the history was sad and some was great. He told of the prominence of the Jones family, Betis family, James family, etc. Before his talk we listened with interest to Mother Hodge, the only living charter member. She was here when they went to church on laid boards of 18 inches, thru sunflowers and weeds. She said it was organized in 1855 by Judge Hodge and Geo. Woodbey. Rev. Smith came on the scene after several preachers and built the first church, then Rev. Recely took charge. Rev. Coneland was once in charge. It was then called the Second Baptist Church. Rev. S. B. Butler built the present beautiful edifice and had something to do with the changing of the name suggested by Rev. Hall, the preceeding pastor. Sister Miller paid the first month's rent for a place to worship after its organization. Sister Hodge paid the first $10 for the ground to build the present Calvary. She told the men we must not eat nor sleep until we have purchased this ground. She has seen it grow from the coal oil lamps to electric lights. She told how clean Rev. Hayes was and filled with education and religion. Sister Ella Gibba came to Wichita in 1900. She found Rev. M. S. Jones here, but quite young. He was in school, thus he was in and out. She saw him ordained by Rev. Plummer, After Rev. Plummer cane Rev. Hall, then Smith, then Butler. Smith built the first real Calvary, but some thing was wrong with the foundation so it was condemned. It was torn down with $9000 on debt. Rev S. B. Butler paid oc the debt, though a very young man, and built the beautiful Calvary. He bought a car and parsonage and nearly all the inside fixtures. Rev. J. W. Hayes was recommended by him as a Christian and good man, not very popular man. He, bought two cars, entertained the Congress and paid off the Congress debt of over $400.00 Mr. Topp came here in 1987 joined under Rev. T. T. Laws. (). B. Simms split the church. He married Mr. Topp. The split failed, Mr. Topp sold the church divided the money and returned to the church after spending a while in Tabernacle Ch. He was once a head worker in the church, filled with fire, ready to act. Mother Moore has been in Wuthita 40 years and a member of Calvary for this period of time. She believes that members should stick. She stuck. She says; if you cannot do good in one church you cannot do good in another. Rev. Wm. McIlleen read the Scriptures for the afternoon worship. The choir furnished the music. Calvary laid down all formalities and had an old time basket meeting last Sunday. There were baskets in big numbers with some of the best cooked food that could be had, and plenty to spare. It was really a feast and much enjoyed. The guests were from Eldorado, Winfield, Newton, Wellington and many of the churches in the city. Pastoral guests were Rev, were; Rev, J. E, Doughlass, Rev, B. L. Marchant, Rev, Williams, of Newton and G. W. Alexander, of Winfield. Thus passed into history a great day at Calvary. Five Huston Lynching Suspect Free. HOUSTON, TEX., Aug. 9—(PNS) Only one of six men charged in connection with the lynching of Robert Powell on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, remained in jail Thursday. All of the six except John (slim) Kent had made bond of 87,700 granted them Wednesday by Judge Boyd. One of the bondsmen for Kent was out of town Wednesday and he could not obtain his release. He is expected to be released in a few days. The men have been in jail since June 22. Their trial will be set by the August grand jury. RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION REGATION FIGHT RESIDENTAL SEG- CHECK FOR ANTI- Briefs in District of Columbia Court o. Appeals Printed; To Tert Validity of Property Owners Covenant Barring Negroes. NEW YORK, Aug. 4—The National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. this week forwarded its check for $180.75 to Attorney George E. C. Hayes of Washington covering the costs of printing the briefs in the case of Cornish vs. O'Donoghue, in the C't of appeals of the District of Columbia. This is the action brought to test whether or not white property owners may include in the deus to property clauses which prohibit the sale by any future owner of that property to persons of Negro blood. This case marks another step in the relentless battle which the N. A. A. C. P. has waged for upwards of ten years to checkmate and defeat each new move to segregate colored people. It will be recalled that in 1917 the Association eliminated for all time segregation by municipal ordances or state laws through the victory gained in the United States Supreme Court in the Louisville case of Buchanan vs. Warley Following that victory, efforts were made by white property holders and organizations of white property holders to achieve the same results by means of clauses in deeds to their property which prohibited sale, usually for a specified number of years, to a Negro. This new attempt at segregation was carried by the N. A. A. C. P. to the Supreme Court in 1927 in the case of Corrigan vs. Buckley. The Court ruled that it was without jurisdiction in the case as brought before it and thus could not decide whether such covenants were contrary to public policy or were discriminatory. The case now pending, Cornish ve- O'Donoghue, seeks to present the entire matter of such covenants in such fashion as to make it impossible for the Supreme Court to avoid giving a decision The attorneys of record who has general oversight of the case are Louis Marshall of New York, great constitutional lawyer and member of the Legal Committee and Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P., and Arthur B. Spingarn, Chairman of the N. A. A. C. P. Legal Committee and Vice-President of the Association. The local counsel at Washington are William E. Leahy, George E. C. Hayes, Ernest J. Davis and Edmund M. Toland. The amount paid today by the N. A. A. C. P. brings the amount expended to date in the fight against this form of segregation and which covers the costs in Cornish vs. O'Donoghue, Corrigan vs. Buckley and two other cases to a total of $4, 177, 54. All of this was paid from the Legal Defense Fund raised in 1925 from which also have been paid the costs of the successful Sweet Cases in Detroit, the Texas "White Primary" cases and many less well-known efforts in behalf of the Negro. The Association pointed out that the amazingly small sum which the anti-segregation cases have cost is due to the great generosity of attorneys like Mr. Marshall and Mr. Spingarm who donate their valuable services without charge because of their interest in the fight for justice which the N. A. A. C. P. is making for the Negro. Leavenworth Briefs INDEPENDENT BAPT. CHURCH REV. B. J. DAVIDSON. PASTOR JOHN S. LIVINGSTON. Rep. Sunday, August 5, S.

The Controversy in the Church at Antioch (15123) This difficulty was a most serious one for it threatened the disruption of the church into Jewish and Gentile divisions. It was not a question of the admission of the Gentiles into the church that had been settled some years before when Point received Carmelitis and his house of the question now was on what ground can they be resolved? Should the convicts be required to keep the Mosque law as a condition of salvation? This issue was brought on by the country of certain men from Jerusalem who declared "Except we be circumcised, utter the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved (v. 1)" The question was so difficult that Paul and Barbarians were unable to put them to silence. Those Jewish legacies and the letter of the Scripture on their side. They could point to the command where this was enjoined upon believers (then 17:4). Paul could not point to any Scripture where it had been abrogated. If Paul could plead that Abraham was justified before he was christened, his antagonists could answer "Yes, but after justification the rule was divinely imposed." The births at Amish decided to refer the matter to the church at Jerusalem. Accordingly, Paul and Barbarians and others were sent as a deputation to Jerusalem. II The Disburations of the Council (v. 6:2). 1. Peter's speech (vv. 611) He argued that God had borne witness to His acceptance of the Gentiles by giving the Holy Spirit to them as unto the Jews (Acts 10:34-47). Since therefore, God had not put a difference it would be folly for them to do so. 2. Paul and Barnabas rehearsed their experience (v. 12). They told how that God had set His soul of approval on their preaching of salvation by grace through faith apart from works by the working of signs and wonders through them. 3. The argument of James (vv. 14-21). He took the fact described by Peter and showed how it harmonized with the prophecy of Amos (Amos 9:11-15). He showed that the reception of the Gentiles was not in conflict but in strikt harmony with God's plan. As set forth in James' speech, God's plan is as follows: (1) To take out from among the Gentiles a people for His name (v. 11). This is what is now going on, the preaching of the gospel to the ends of the earth, and the calling out of the church. (2) After the church is completed and removed, the badeltish nation will be converted and restored to their land and privileges by the Lord Himself at His return (vs. 16-17) (3) Following this will be the conversion of the world through the agency of converted Israel (v 17 f. from 11:15) he showed that there is no conflict when the Sorbonnes are rightly divided. He judgment was that the Gentiles should not be troubled with things that are Jewish but should be warned to "abstain from positions of idols, and from formation, and from things strangled and from blood." The Jerusalem church came to a unanimous agreement and accepted the resolution offered by James. They not only sent a letter stating the decision of the conference, but took the wise precaution *sending industrial man along with Paul and Barnabas to bear the same testimony by word of mouth.* This letter denied the authority of the Justifying teachers (v.24), and declared the method by which this decision had been reached (vy. 25-27). The Holy Spirit was to be given first place, and the gentle believers were instructed to abstain from meals offered to idols, from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. IV The Decision Delivered to the Church (vy. 20-25) The church was called together to hear the report. Its reading brought rejoicing. They were a new free to prosecute the great missionary work. Knowing How to Pray The life of a man upon earth is a warfare; and it is much better, in the midst of enemies and dangers, to be acquainted with one fortress than with many inns. He that knows how to prny may be pressed but cannot be overwhelmed—Robert Leibson. Enemies Hard to Fight It will require more than a few hours of testing and prayer to just out such demons as selfishness, worldliness, and unbelfief.—T. L. Cusler BY REV. J. W. HAYE3. Sunday August 12. Subj. "Are Magazines a Help or Hindrance to Christian Living?" Phil. 4:8-9 "Reading makes a full man," but full of what? That of course, depends upon what one has read. Character is decidedly affected by what we read. No thoughtful man can read a book with care and be quite the same when he has finished, whether he is a better man or the opposite depends upon what he has read. There are magnitudes that a Christian cannot afford to read (no one magazine that the Christian cannot else for that matter) and there are afford not to read. Life is too short to read, at best, but few books compared to the number written certainly that few should be the best, since they unconsciously became a part of us. Paul advises the church at Philippi to think on noble things. Keeping the mind filled and before it the highest ideals in a sure way to correct Christian living. Good magazines help us to think straight and we are no more noble than we think. Thoughts jasten to the muscles to express themselves. No man ever becomes a criminal in act until he was first a criminal in heart. Watch your thoughts and you will not be ashame of your conduct. It would be well to have one or two good magazines come to your home when you can afford it. An empty mind tends to be filled with the furniture of the devil. OTTAWA IDEAS Bethany S.

Timmons, Sr., the white merchant; alleges in his own sworn statement that her original affidavit was read to the Parker woman in the office and presence of J. Rob Lawrence Judge of Probate at Florence and that both she and her son were present; that the document "appeared to be entirely satisfactory to her and she affixed her signature thereto, and the paper was probated by Mr. Lawrence as Judge of Probate." Mr. Timmons' statement further alleges that the woman's son asked him and another white man for $75 to pay for medicine for his mother and that Bess' wife raised all she could, Fifty Dollars, which was given to the Paarker woman by Judge Lawrence who had his stenographer write a receipt which the women signed before receiving the money. "The woman involved and the said Parker immediately lift the office of the Judge of Probate," the affidavit recites, "and the voice of neither was ever raised in protest concerning the affidavit which both fully understood, until the report was circulated that she would be prosecuted at the next term of Court of perjury." The affidavit, which is quite lengthy and which sets forth all the circumstances in detail, contains a bitter attack upon Gov. John G. Richards of South Carolina for accepting without investigation the woman's repudiation of her affidavit. That part of the statement reads: "..... that for the first time, today, July 20, 1928, he (Timmons) has been asked by a representative of Governor John G. Richards' office for a statement concerning the procurement of affidavit from the woman involved in the Ben Bess case; that except for the fact that this is a case in which the general public has an interest, he would promptly refuse to make an affidavit or statement; as he does not feel that he is due the least courtesy to the said John G. Richards, when said Richards has without an investigation into the facts branded the procurement of the affidavit in the case as fraudulent; that to repeat, this affidavit is made solely that the general public may, for the first time, learn the truth." At the request of Mr. N. J. Frederick of Columbia who is acting for Ben Bess to obtain if possible, his freedom, William T. Andrews, Special Legal Assistant of the N. A. A. C. P., has compiled and forwarded to Mr. Frederick a careful statement of law on the question of where or not an unconditional pardon can be revoked. It is a well established principle of law that such revocation is impossible. The N. A. A. C. P., has announced that it will aid in every possible way to gain his freedom for Ben Bess and to continue the fight until he is freed. KIDDIES PLAY- GROUND AT THE STATE FAIR The kiddies playground, an added improvement on the State Fair grounds at Hutchinson is now almost completed. This spot will prove an interesting one for the kiddies during State Fair week, Sept. 15-21, for several kinds of slides, swings and riding devices have been installed which will provide lots of fun and entertainment for hurdress of kiddies. The playground is located in a perfectly safe place near the agricultural building. This is a new idea and will no doubt prove popular. The Rotarians made this great array of playground material possible by their generous gift. THE KANSAS STATE FAIR which is held at Hutchinson annually and which will be held this year Sept. 15-21 is a great live stock as well as agricultural exposition as is proved by the amount of cash prizes paid out last year to the exhibitors of cattle alone. $10,279 25 is the amount of cash prizes paid out to the exhibitors of cattle last year. There were 857 entries made by 49 different exhibitors. That certainly shows the importance of the State Fair as a livestock show. Its a cattle show in a cattle country. This year in addition to a great array of educational features, the entire Hegenbeck-Wallace Circus has been recured as the entertainment feature twice daily, except Sunday in front of the grand stand. HARMONICA CONTEST AT FAIR A new feature this year at the Kansas State Fair. Hutchinson Sept. 15-21 will be the Kansas Harmonica Contest. More commonly known as the "Juice harp," the modern Harmonica is vastly more than the ordin ary julc harp, so this year the State Fair is fostering a State Contest to find the best harmonica players in Kansas.

It numbers among its members governors as well as another o cials high in the esteem of their contemporaries. Its cause must be fast and its contentions must have weight.

Its record proves that it has served and still serves well. It richly justifies its being. From a much hated and much maligned organization it has come to be recognized as one of the most powerful for good in America. It deserves support and continuation.

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 Con- LUMBER, MOULDING, FLOORING, WINDOWS AND DOORS AT THE MARSHALL LUMBER CO.

The amount apportioned to the Churches to be paid monthly or quarterly to the State office, the able 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 a n d 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 butiness-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 $5,700.00 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 pay 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 Kim. This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927.
