ANNUAL ADDRESS
To the Kaw Valley District Association, S. S. Convention, Women's Home and Foreign Mission Convention, State of Kansas:—
As a unit, we must see success.
There cannot be a failure in the work of this Association, for it is composed of local churches and auxiliaries, unit upon a rock and governed by laws and principles given to them and the life-long stamp put upon it.
The stamp with a promise, that the "Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it."
The church is the home or house in which the kingdom of Heaven has her dwelling-place.
This Association is composed of local churches and auxiliaries, and annual members of the highest type of Christian men and women. Hence the Divine Hand of Providence will not fail the church. A great opportunity lies before us as the great harvest field looked to the Master when He said, "Look upon the Field, it is ready for the harvest."
We need more faith in God and to have it, means success all the time. We are not in ancient oriental days, when Monarchs ruled, as they did in Egypt Assyria, Babylonia, Babylon, Judea, Phoenicia, India and Persia. All of these nations except the Egyptians were born and cradled in Western Asia.
We see and cherish civilization in the days of Christianity in the

If we our fellowmen could know,
Then would we more appreciate
Their worth; then in our hearts would
plow
The fire of love instead of hate;
For such will follow, if, and when
We better know our fellowmen.
If we could know what others bear-
Their load of sorrow, grief and woe
Of penury and toll, and care—
If all they suffer we could know,
We'd help, though but a little mite,
To make their heavy burdens light.
If we could know the circumstance
Of those who may in weakness fall,
Many who had had little chance,
"Fighting with backs against the
wall."
Thus knowing circumstance, would
we
In mercy judge, and charity,
So, every man, what'er his creed
When tempted others to deery;
Should reckon, and sincerely try,
And that in every way he can;
Better to know his fellowman

new Era, propagated by John the Baptist and made plain by Jesus Christ. Now we have Christ as our High Priest and King. He is our High Priest for He offered Himself today on the cross for the sins of the world and satisfied the Divine Justice in heaven, so, no more priest offerings are needed to justify the law.
He is our King: for He rules every-heart in which His kingdom has been established.
With the bonified men and women of the Kaw Valley District Association, as we have, How Can a Failure Come? The Kings and Emperors of oriental days, waxed, waned, and passed off the scene but our King lives forever, and rules with a rod of LOVE. Retrospecting the days or med eval history, chivalry sprang out of feudalism which was the brightest flower. It grew into a great institution, but like all non-Christian organizations, flourish for a season and then disappear. We do not live in the days of chivalry but in the days of Christianity.
It has been said, antiquity produced heroes, but no gentlemen; we must congratulate ourselves for being permitted to live, not in antiquity but in the Christian era where both heroes and heroines are produced and Christian gentlemen without number.
No failure is expected, for we can not fail as long as "True lives, for He is not only the "True Vine" but He is the "Living Vine," to give energy and vitality to every member

WIFE OF HANGED MAN INSISTS HE WAS INNOCENT
(Preston News Service)
ATIANTA, GA., Auy. 9—The alloyed concession that she and "A Lover" committed the murder for which her husband and James Moses died Friday morning, is still held by Mrs. Gilford Thompson. She says, "I'll stick to my s. y. until I go."
The woman's story named an elderly Chatsworth, Ga., man as plotting with her the death of Coleman Osborne, Chatsworth, Ga., store keeper, and fastening the crime her husband to get him out of the way so they could enjoy their clandestine love tries to heart's contort. "Osborne knew too much of our affair and my lover as well as myself had hurt out of two way," she said.
Hompson and Moss were electrocuted a few hours after Governor Hardman had examined the alleged confession and denied a respute. Mrs. Thompson remained in Fulton prison, here, while an appeal in her case awaited action of the George Supreme Court. She faces a death sentence for the same crime. Osborne was killed one year ago. All are white except James Moss, who was an employee of the Thompsons. Moss and Thompson denied their guilt. Moss asked that his wife and children be taken care of.
OTTAWA-A TINE PLACE
The hospitality of Ottawa, is hard to beat! The numerous invitations to remain in Ottawa, are indicative of the favorable impression made by Miss Sims in her 9 days' training a chorus for a jubilee concert, Monday Nite. 40 voices rehearsed twice a day to prepare for the concert, and in spite of the heat they rendered a very cred.table program to a very appreciative audience. At the close of the concert the chorus presented Miss Sims with a handkerchief hower, writh was very thoroly appreciated by her. Those taking part, were Damesdames Ida Hughes, Pauline Wilson, Mary Allen A. Johnson, Stovall, Gertrude Hooker, Lena Holbrook, Dora McCurry; Messrs Earl Hughes, W. O. Bell, Guy Edwards, Russell Allen, Thomas Augustus and Misses Elsie Lewis, Althea and Lois McBrier, Clara Clalbourne.
Delicious luncheons were served for Mrs. Chas, Favors, Mrs. P, Lewis Mrs. G. Hooker, Miss Louise Walker, Wise Flisie Lewis, Mrs. P. Wilson and Mrs. Webb.
The right-seeing trip with Mr. and Mrs. Russell Allen was vcp enjoyable. We believe Miss Sims is equally as much in love with the Ottawa folk as they are with her and she will hold them dear in her memory.

THE POWER OF KINDNESS
A young man once left home to make his own way in a great city. His father was dead. The godly mother was concerned for her boy while he had always attended church yet he had not become a member of the church. Before he left home the mother said, "Marion, will you promise me two things?" "Yes," said the boy. "Well" the mother replied, "I want you to promise me you will attend church regularly and read your Bible every day. Because at church you will meet the best people and in reading the Bible you will discover the right way of life." The boy promised. The first Sabbath in the city he attended church. Everything was beautiful in the church services, but the boy was feeling lonely. The next Sabbath he returned with the same results. If he had not promised his mother he would not have gone to church. After the third freezing experience he was becoming bitter against the church. He said, "I will go once more and if no one speaks to me then I'm through with the church." But before he got away, a kind old lady spoke to him kindly. She explained that she had been away so had not seen him before and she was glad he was to be in the city and attend their church. And she continued "I want you to meet the pastor and the young people. They are just fine."
What a little service it was just to be kind to a stranger, but a lonely heart was encouraged, and, later on a great Christian worker was developed.
Have you guessed his name? It was Marion Lawrence, one of the greatest Sunday School leaders the world has ever known.
—The Arkansan.
A dainty repast was served by the hostess.
We will meet next Wednesday.

FIVE CHURCHES ACTIVELY CO-OPERATE
BOYS FROM SEVEN CHURCHES
The Inter-Church Camp, conducted by Water Stree Branch, Y. M. C. L., was an outstanding success. While only one-half of the churches co-operated to the extent of sending boys; 21 boys enjoyed the week's outing.
Secretary Hutcherson was greatly assisted by his good wife and Mrs. G. L. Scott. These two good women left their homes and went to Camp Hyde and prepared the meals for the boys.
The following persons furnished their cars to transport the boys to and from Camp! Mr. Abner Jackson, Mr. Robert Crawford, Dr. D. Mee-Gee, Attorney Brown Rev, Douglas, Rev, Brooks, Mr. Duke, Mr. B. W. Crawford, Mrs. Henry Papne, Mrs. Luscia Williams.
There were 68 visitors in Camp during the week. This was encouraging, both to the leaders and boys. Among the speakers were: Dr. Wilson, Rev. Marchant, Prof. West Rev. Hayes, Mr. Sims Mr. Montell Parks, Prot. R. A. Marsdon, Dr. T. G. Perry Mr. E. L. Davison and Dr. Ross W. Sanderson. Counting the 21 boys that went to the Scout Camp, this gives us 42 boys in Camp for a total of 6,048 hours. This does not include the leaders and speakers. This is easily the Banner Year in Camping for the Negro youth of the city.
SPECIAL APPEAL!
TO THE COLORED PEOPLE:—
Seeing the present condition of our colored people it came to my mind to consider them greatly. I wish to say, that what our people need is love for one another and a strong united body of foreseeing men that will stand in the midst of discouraging projects that so often come against a righteous cause. And again we need a united, industrial Association of America in order to help ourselves through the struggle of life; let us awake and look and see how we are being more and more handicapped. There are many things we can do for ourselves if we just start at it in the right way.
Now, in most towns, we have no employment for our sons and our daughters when they come out of school. If they want to be mechanics, architects, bricklayers, carpenters, farmers, ranchmen, poultry raisers, fruit-growers, gardeners, merchants and so many other unnumbered positions they would be successful in; but they have nowhere to go. Our daughters could be stenographers, nurses, seamsters, laundress, clerks, bookers and many other more prominent positions, they could hold when they come out of college, but they have nowhere so go; so what good will their learning do without a place to use it! The white man has carried us long enough. It is now time we were doing something for ourselves. Our present merchants dentists, garagemen, doctors, seamstress, clerks and others are not making as they should because their customers are not making enough to pay for real service value. Now my good people, let us as a race from this day take quick action for the betterment of our race. Our ministers and churches are suffering, next our widows and orphans are neglected because there is not enough money circulating among us. I say, let us have a mass meeting to thiseffect from a company go before the magistrates of the land and get their approval, get a name for the concern and a charter, put our monies together and start an industrial association for ourselves that we may better our conditions, let it be an undemnational concern but for the help of the colored people not with mallice or prejudice against any color. Now I hope this will reach the hearts of all of our people and they will respond to the call of our great needs.
I beg to remain a faithful servant to my people, willing to do my best with all honesty and sincerity.
Any one interested, write or call, at 1302 E. Elm St, Wichita, Kansas
Yours for the help of our people.
L. J. LIGGINS.

ANNUAL ADDRESS (Continued from first page)
WE CANNOT FAIL MODERATOR D. B. JACKSON in this organization.
so shall ye overcome." It is the good pleasure of Christ and the Father to us the Kingdom, and then us to influence this Kingdom, in every nation and in every heart of the world, we seriously take the work in kingdom building. You noble men and women of this great Kaw Valley District Association, lift up your eyes and behold the great field and realize your responsibility. As ministers (sages) as heralds of Christ, have Faith and Christian sunshine enough to brighten every book and circle of the work, which has been turned over to us to come upon, the night cometh, when no man can work.
in research, history reveals that every nation has a day: the Macedonians closely linked by race to the Greeks, had remained in obscurity, while their southern kinsmen were having a sterring career. But in the middle of the 4th Century B. C. they came under the leadership of and assumed the helm of a ship who assumed the government of Macedonia in B. C. 400, asking, he sailed the business on a higher order.
He identified himself with the Greeks, to conquer Greece, but to have Macedonia put on the heap as a Greek state in India.
Step by step his ambition grew, until he saw more success for his people.
Demosthenes, the Atheman ouster
clearly perceived his motive, and be-
gan to thunder out his warnings,
but much of the Athenian pride and
fervor, as a nation had gone, hence,
they saw the danger, until too late.
The Macedonians under Philip for
twenty years, continued policy of
war and intrigue, at last made him-
self master or Greece. The mean
cause of his success: First, his great
military organization, so complete
and powerful, until it became a re-
lyce of the Athenian Empire.
Second; He took the advantage of
the invaded condition of Greece.
The Macedonians saw no failure
under Philip, and it much desine that
you see none now, but let us organize
and take the world for Christ, at
least in Eastern kansas where we
battling ground stands ready for all
out actions.
In this Kaw Valley, we have great leaders in our churches, men and women and women of the highest type of manhood and womanhood; born brought up in some of our best and reared in Christian homes, schools, colleges and seminaries in this country; in these characters you will find the greatest type of stian Civilization.
Fail! Nol One of the greatest assets in the hope of our works is e Central Baptist Theological Seminary, Topeka, Kansas, presided over by Prof. E. L. Scruggs, D. D. who is Dean of that school. Men and women, educators all over this country and abroad, recognize Dean Scruggs in the front rank of educators. Everybody concerned in the educational field, should tally to this school. Send your young ministers there, your women for missionary work, home and abroad. This Association should take out a large stock in the kingdom of doing great work in this state.

THOUGHTS HERE AND THERE!
The basket dinner and rally was a decided success spiritually and financially.
In the morning service, Rev. C. Teal of Independence inspired us to more faithful discipleship. When he spoke enlightening of Christ's discipline and deportment.
After a bountiful dinner Rev. C. Teal presented W. H. Sprone who spoke simply and earnestly on "Loyalty," he pictured Christ's loyalty as one example of loyalty to god, fellow
man and government.
Senator Congressman, C. W. Spencer was then presented and pictured beautifully, "the Fine Aristocracy," not many riches no social elevation denote aristocracy but refinement and education was the substance of his discourse, while he urged us to make a supreme struggle to obtain an education.
Congressman Sproul is a home town man elected by us from the ard district and we take this opportunity to express our appreciation of his every willingness to come over and speak for us whenever we can upon him. We can not but feel highly honored and pleased the two eminent men such as he and Senator Spencer are in our midst and ever ready to lend us a helping hand by their presence and words of encouragement.
Mr. W. A. Tennessy spoke welcoming of the loyalty of our group to him and in turn one and all praised him for his loyalty to our charm, how he has not only been a kind of father in tutor but a fellow laborer as well in the advisor of our church which he says if they listen to him shall never have "one dollar of mortgage" on it but shall be known as it now is "The Church hunt on Faith." He is candidate for probate judge.
Then Mr. Edgar Rovedall was presented. He is the man who gave every one of the limestone rocks of when our church is wholly and beautifully constructed.
At night Rev. Ross, of Wayside preached in the pastors stand and enjoined his seamen which eniled a day of spiritual and social enjoyment.

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topeka, October 4-9, 1927
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 Con-
LUMBER, MOULDING, FLOORING, WINDOWS AND DOORS AT THE MARSHALL LUMBER CO. "EVERYTHING FOR THE BUILDER"

```
ventions of the State and District Associations and Auxillaries.
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 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 lead them forth in this much needed and business-like plan for our Convention.
This plan was presented to the Ministers at the last Board Meetings and the amount for each of the Churches of $6,700.00 was suggested and accepted.
The amount for your Church is in the following list.
Please let us know the manner in which you will meet the request. We pray it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, beginning this month.
Please pray for our work as the Missionary Pastors must carry on and the educational work must not be neglected.
We are the Lord's and the work is His command. He will make possible if we only trust Him.
This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927.
With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully,
A. W. ROSS, Executive Secy, and Supt. of Missions.
Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?
