LIVING FACTS For a long time, here in America, whenever mention was made of the race or inter-racial question or problem, our minas always flashed upon the states lying to the South of the imaginary Mason and Dixon Line, where nine-tenths of the Negroes resided. Then came the war, and we say over a million Negroes crossed that line to make their home in the great Industrial Centers of the North and West. This migration plus the Japanese Excursion Act brought to our minds the National Scope, as well as the multi-racial aspect of the race problem, here in our own country. But on here and there, could be found those pioneering students, who were thinking of the world-wide ramifications of the race problem, made articulate by the World War, when Self Determination and the Rights of Minority People, because the Watchword. Since 1919-1920, the situation here in America has been crystallized by unpleasant episodes between the races, in all sections of our country. Also, reports of clashes in India, China, Africa and Philipines, as well as in the Central and South American Nations, were reported around the World. But the International Missionary Council, held in Jerusalem, last spring, has brought the race question to the fore front in its social, economic, religious and World-Wide aspects. There is a report in the Literary Digest—September 15, by Dr. Samuel Guy Inman; in which he proclaims: Christianity's Next Task, to End Racial Hate... Dr. Inman places this conferences in its religious implications along with the League of Nations at Genevo, the Navel treaties signed at Washington, and the Ke logg Anti-War Compact signed in Paris. Another significant event is the fact that the Missionary societies are centering their studies upon African, and the African Race, throut the world. This has been true of the local institute which has been promoted by the Local Council of Churches, (Sixth Annual Session) this week. They have not studied the Negro in the abstract; but, have had them on the program and to preside at some of the sessions. While we are staggered by the magnitude of the problem we are encouraged by the splendid evidences of understanding, taking place across the world. A more intelligent knowledge is the pressing need.

Sampson Prior to the singing of a spiritual by the chair, the Rev. H. W. Jones pastor of the Green Street Baptist church, introduced Gov. Flem D. Sampson, a stalwart Republican. He was given a tremendous ovation. Be- neath the stars and stripes, he spoke feelingly of the progress made by the citizens of his audience. He said "What you need is an opportunity, and my purpose as Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, is to see as nearly as possible that you have the full protection of the law and then see that you have every opportunity as other groups of this great Commonwealth. You have pass- ed from servitude into freedom in this great Republic and within a few more years as you think, study and act well your part, you are bound to become a potential element in the State of Kentucky and the Nation. I feel it an honor to extend you a welcome, and I bid you come to Frankfort, Ky., and visit me at my office where the latch-string is on the outside. Again I bid you welcome." The house roared with applause as he concluded. The youthful Mayor W. B. Harrison, of the city, spoke of welcome on behalf of the city. He said:— "Friends and fellow citizens, with the banners over the vast hall with inscriptions of each State upon them, reminds me of an old time Republican Convention." As he finished this saying the house roared with applause. Continuing he said: "You will find here assembled a great body of your Race which is not excelled in any city in in the country, participating in matters pertaining to the uplift of your people. I have seen some of your leaders perform in the most trying circumstances and not one of them fall. Your constituency has a record which cannot be denied; one that is honorable and loyal. I welcome you on behalf of all races regardless of color. St. Paul says, "Be ye steadfast." Do not get excited in your deliberation and a low any one o disrupt your proceedings I want you to feel at home, and if there is anything that this administration can do to make you happy, I shall as Mayor of this city, pleased to do it." Dr. Mulins' Letter Read. Dr. E. Y. Mullin, who was to have spoken on part of the White Baptists of the city, was too ill to attend. He sent a letter and it was read by Rev. C. H. Parrish President of Simmons University. It was a strong and forceful statement of the progress made by the Baptists of the State, and especially was he laudatory on the progress made by the Race educationally. The Rev. H. C. Weeden delivered we come address on behalf of all denominations, and the Rev. W. P. Offut, Moderator of the State, spoke on behalf of the Baptists of Kentucky. The real oration of the day was the response of Rev. W. C. Brown of Jacksonville, Fla. He spoke of some of the grievances of the Race and looked forward to the day in the near future that we will have a Congressman of our Race to speak for us at the Nations Capitol.

Dr. Williams Delivers Address. Dr. Lacy K. Williams, President of the Convention, delivered a short address before a joint session of the men and women delegates. It was full of wisdom, thought and above all scholarly. He comes from the largest Baptist congregation in the country, the Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago.

The Woman's Convention. The Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention held its session at the Lampton Street Baptist Church, Mrs. Julia Layten, Philadelphia, Pa., is President, and Miss Nannie Burroughs, Washington, Dr. C., Cor.

The entire day was taken up Wednesday in registering and revising the constitution. Dr. Mordecal Johnson telegraphed he could not be present on Wednesday night. GREATEST VICTORY ARROWS—BY R. A. ADAMS If one can win a victory O'er arrogance, and pride, And spirit of humility Within him shall abide, His victory is more complete Than his who legions may defeat. If one can rise and victor be O'er avarice and greed, And honesty 'twixt man and man Practice in word and deed, He greater vict'ry wins than he Before whom mighty armies flee. If one can gain the victory Over himself, and sin, Greater the triumph than could he In glory battle win; And greater he than those who vie On battle-field, for honors high. Great is the conqueror, and great The king, upon his throne, But greater is he who subdues And rules himself, alone..... He who can exercise control In the dominion of his soul! THE YOUTH AND THE CHURCH OF TO-MORROW Antloch Baptist Church, Topeka. I have often heard the question asked What is to become of the Youth of Tomorrow? A very wise man said: "Train up a child the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." If you want to build a house you will start at the foundation and work up. That is the way it is with a child you have to start training him from babyhood and when he reaches his teenage you will not have any trouble with him. If you want to keep the young people interested in the church work, you will have to keep them busy, because the devil always can find a place in his work shop for a ideal Christian. Grownups, you must take more interest in the young people. Do you realize that the youth of today is the church of tomorrow. You must stop sending your children to house of God, but you must bring them. Some day the older people are going to die and we are going to have to take up where they left off. Are we going to let the banner trail the dust or are we going to march on to victory as the others, gone on before us have done? The great ball players and movie actors spend time, money and energy trying to put on their great programs; why can't the youth of today spend a portion of its time, money and energy trying to put over the program for Jesus Christ? At this very moment we are in an uproar trying to elect a certain man for President of the United States. Why can't we turn the tables and be in just as big an uproar, trying to elect the biggest President of the world—Jesus Christ? When the new theatre was opened the other night, all of the young people were ta king and advertising it. Why can't we be just as interested when the B. Y. P. U. and S. S., are trying to give something? We will save our show fare all the week, but if the church asks us for a little money, we complain. Oh Youth! are we going to stop the wheel of progress in the church or are we going to put our shoulders to the wheel and help push the church to higher things? In my conclusion, let me implore you you to live the life so when our Lord calls us from life to eternity, w3 will be ready to move with the blessed host up the King's Highway. NESTINE GRAVES, 1438 Chandler, A TRIP SOUTH FAYETVILLE, ARK. Sept. 11 I want the friends to know that I, with my family, am spending the vacation in the grand old State of Arkansas, and the beautiful little city of Fayettville entirely surrounded by the Ozark Hills with springs gushing forth from them like the Niagar Falls. It has a population of 12,000, most of whom live in the hills; it is a leading educational cen- (Continued on page 4) KEEI' TAXES DOWN (Industrial News Bureau) The best advice that can be given to communities anxious to expand and develop industrially is to keep taxes down. Ihigh tax rates and industrial development do not go together. The community that is too fast in providing "improvement" by excessive taxation is foredoomed to restricted growth. h Industry today is going in a new and interesting direction—toward decentralization. Where once only centrally located cities had an opportunity to become industrially great, the country town has an important share in the new movement. There are small towns today that tomorrow will be outstanding industrial centers. And chief among the advantages they must offer will be a low tax rate. There are other towns which can offer many expensive attractions. Yet they will be passed over by industry, because they have made the mistake of spending money wastefully with resulting high tax rates. Reasonable taxes invite progress, development and prosperity. High taxes discourage the investor and builder. Five Cents Per Copy STUDENTS' GUIDE Thousands of students are last and this week, crowding into colleges and Universities all over the land. They have in mind their studies, Athletics extra curricular activities, and social life. But, what about Religion? College does strange things to the religion of many graduates; of that fact, there can be no doubt, or question. A student may be intimidated by the suggestion that religion is simply "Wishful thinking." However, the Vitality of the Christian Student Movement across the World is striking evidence that a personal religion gives what thousands of students would call, in TRADER HORN'S phrase, "a link with reality." Dr. William DeWitt Hyde, formerly a president of Bowdin College suggests the following, as to what "The offer of the College" Should be: To be at Home In A.I Lands and Ages; To count nature a familiar acquaintance and art an intimate friend; To gain a standard for the appreciation of other men's work and the criticism of your own; To carry in your pocket the keys of the world's library and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake; To make hosts of friends among the men of your own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life; To lose yourself in generous enthusiasm and co-operate with others for common ends; To learn manners from students who are gentlemen and form character under professors who are Christians— This is the offer of the college for the best four years of your life.

Nims, President of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company has announced creation by its directors of two new Vice Presidencies and the appointment to one of them of A. C. Stannard, General Traffic Manager. Mr. Stannard will be in charge of Engineering Plant and Traffic; and Mr. Hong will direct the Commercial and Associated activities of the company. "This step is taken to meet requirements of the rapid expansion which is under way in the telephone business." Mr. Nims said. "Growth of the telephone habit in recent years has been very rapid. The telephone fits peculiarly into modern American tendencies, in social and family life, and in business enabling speedy communication regardless of distance. Here in the Southwest where the territory itself is still developing at a rapid rate, the demand for adequate telephone service is outstanding. The number of telephones connected with the lines of the Southwestern Company at this time is approximately 2,112,267 as against 1,307,841 at the end of 1917." Sunday School Lesson BY REV P. P. FILA WATER 1011, Shan Snooty Public Institute of Chicago 1924 Western Water Works 1011 Lesson for September 23 THE CHRISTIAN BASIS OF TOTAL ABSTINENCE Temperance Lesson. LESSON TEXT-1 Our 8 11 GOLDEN TEXT-1 Let no man seek his own but every man mother's wealth. PRIMARY TOPIC-Helping Others to been a Good Law JUNIOR TOUGH-Helping Others to Keep Ours Law INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOTIC-Abstinence for the sake of others YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOTIC-The Christian Standard of Social Conduct In this section of Scripture Part is bringing to view the great doctrine of Christian liberty and forthensure The occasion of this teaching was the un certainty as to the right attitude for Christians to take toward things said faced into idols 1. The Idol is Nothing (vv. 145) Intelligent people know that an idol is nothing but a piece of timber or stone. They know that there is only one that the creator and sustainer of all things. Since an idol has no real existence, the eating of such meat is a matter of indulgence. It should be borne in mind that the principle stated in this section has reference to things which are in them selves wrong. Strictly speaking, there fore, this teaching cannot be applied to indulgence in intoxicating liquors. To do so would be a perversion of Paul's meaning. The indulgence in intoxicating liquors, the use of tobacco, etc., are things wrong in themselves because they injure the human body. The holding of stock in certain corporations and having partnership in illegal business are things that are wrong in themselves. In applying this principle to the use of intoxicating liquors, this should be borne in mind. The principle can be applied only to things which are in themselves harmless. II. Not All Christians Have Maturity of Discernment (vv. 7, 8). Uninstructed Christians were still possessed of the conviction that an idol was really a living and powerful being. For those persons to sit down to a social meal where such meat was eaten would be to expose themselves to the liability of being brought again under bondage to their sins. III. The Christian's Behavior in Such Cases (vv. 9, 13). 1. He should take heed best his liberty become a stumbling block (v. 9). 2. Liberty must be curtailed for the sake of the weak brother (vv. 10, 11). 3. To disregard this is to sin against our brethren (v. 12). To disregard our brother's interest is to sin against Christ, for it is sinning against the one for whom Christ died. To place a stumbling block in the way of the believer is a terrible crime. In enforcing this, three important considerations are brought out: (1) The fate of the weak brother (v. 11). He perishes. Human sympathy, let alone Christian love, would cause a man to give consideration to his conduct test he cause such a loss. (2) The relation of the man to his slayer. He is his brother. (3) What Christ did for the "weak brother." Christ died for him; therefore to sin against a brother is to sin against Christ, because the brother is a member of Christ a body. IV. The Teaching Illustrated in Paul's Life (ch. 9). At Coltham Paul worked with his own hands lest his mission to them should be misjudged. While he vigorously contended for his right to ask for support of them, he refrained from asking. Ty means of his own labors and the donations which he received from the Macedonian churches he was able to boast that he had not been chargeable to them. V. The Teaching Applied (10,23-23). 1. Christians may indulge in lawful things only as they are expedient and unto edification (v. 23). 2. Let no man suck his own, but each neighbor's good (v. 21). The principle of love is unselfish ners. 3. Whether therefore ye eat or drink, do all to the glory of God (v. 31). The Christian is not at liberty to do that upon which he could not ask God's blessing. 4. Give no occasion for anyone to stumble (v. 32). We should so live that no one can ever say that we have been the exca- sion of his downfall. 5. Follow the example of Jesus Christ (11:1). Christ gave up all for the sake of others. The road of good works is blocked by our past sins, and it is sure to be further blocked by our future sins; we ought, therefore, to rejoice that God has commended to us the open road of faith.—Spurgeon. Thank God Thank God for a gospel that sings itself into our daily lives, and that blids us sing away sorrow and care! Sin has no such hymns.—Clarence Dierman. BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue "Putting Our Program Across." Ex. 18:13-27. The Bible is God's Program of Redemption, each act is ordered and each player elected. It is the duty of each Christian to know his act and play the part he is to play in it. One putting our program across is dependent upon every one finding, knowing and playing his part. Each individual is a distinctive personality, he is a thought of good granted for a definite place on the Divine Program. A.I. for work and work for all. Organization is simply the fitting of man properly into the program of kingdom building. Moses sat to do the work of many. The people were asking for knowledge and Moses delighted to give it. The multitude waited long with patience and the Lawgiver was investing his life to meet their needs. Jethro makes a suggestion that some worthy men he selected to assist Moses; the suggestion was accepted and individuals were selected who feared God, loved the truth and wanted nothing that did not belong to them. These select men were appointed over certain numbers as judges. This division of labor not only put more people to work, but made it possible for Moses to do what he only could do. God has given us a program of order and our problem is to learn and follow the Divine plan. We cannot make programs for God but He has honored us with a distinctive place on His Program and we should delight to serve. The church not only needs an informed membership and an intelligent leadership, but it needs above all a reeemed membership and a consecrated leadership. Not al. can be leaders, some must follow; neither can al. be followers, some must lead. Even if a man could do the work of ten men, he would not mean as much to the world as he you u if he could put ten men to work. The best work a good leader can so is to keep every one under him, busy at the right thing and in the right way. A leader should stay ahead of the crowd and yet with the crowd. One of the hindernances of our age is we have so many leaders who have minds and no souls, and so many leaders who have souls and no minds. What we need is leaders blessed with both; this alone will make possible the putting our program across. Abilene Interests Fold MISS ESTHER CHAVES, Rep. Rev Warder or Llsworth preached for us Sunday.

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topcka, October 4-9, 1927 My Lear Co-laborera; 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 $6,70000 be apportioned directly to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Con-Associations and Auxiliaries. ventions of the State and District The amount appositioned to the Churches to be paid monthly or quarterly to the State office, the able because the State obligations LUMBER, MOULDING, FLOORING, WINDOWS AND DOORS AT THE MARSHALL LUMBER CO.

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 ad them toth 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 pay it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, be- ginning this month. Please pray for our work as the Missionary Pastor must care on and the educational work must not be neglected. We are the Lord's and the work in His command. He will make pos- sible if we only trust Him. This adopted at our State Con- vention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4, 1927. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully, W. A. BOWREN, D. D. Pres. * A. W. ROSS, Executive Sec'y, and Sup't. of Missions. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?

A TRIP SOUTH (Continued from page 1) (Continued from page 1) ter for whites.; the University of Arkansas is located one-half mile from the city like Athens of old. It modernly equipped, having 10 buildings to hose the body and shape the minds of youths. Its gates were thrown ajar, September 14th for two thousand students. For the Negro group, educational advantages are not so good; but I a mtold it is most of the index of this state: there is only one building with two rooms one about 12x20, the other about 15x30, where 133 pupils attend with only two teachers to adequately shape their minds. To attempt such a thing would seem to me an impossibility. We are domiciled in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Walker, the brother and sister-in-law of my wife, Mrs. C. P. Morrow, whom she had seen only once in 30 yeats. They are most progressive young people with a lovely 4-room bungalow of modern equipment. They are blessed with 3 boys, 50 chickens, 2 dogs and a Chevrolet Car. Irven Walker is planning to enter Western College; William is to enter Bartlett High School. Mr. Walker is the chef cook at the leading hotel of this city, and highly respected by the citizens. Mrs. Walker is a very hospitable, congenial and cultured lady, is also a trained nurse; receiving her training at Providence Hospital. Chumago. There are about 500 Negroes in this city, for the most part peaceful but not progressive; having only 4 modern homes among our group. There are two churches: Baptist with J. W. Webb, Pastor; the M. E. with Rev. A. R. Ray as pastor, each of these churches seem to be getting along very well. The Rev. Morrow spoke to a well crowded house Sunday evening, Sept. 9th. Miss Alena performed at the piano, Mrs. C. P. Morrow was introduced and made a very interesting task. The only business in this city operated by our group is a Restaurant operated by Louis Richardson, a Shoe Shining Parlor operated by Len Hays and Chris Manual and a Blacksmith Shop operated by Alex Robinson. When the boys complete their primary grades; if they wish to pursue their education further they must depart to some distant cline, for there is no high school here. Since Mrs. Monroe has been here she has been shaking hands with many old residents that knew her when she was a little lass among these are old aunt Lizzie Buchanom who is approaching her hundred and second birthday, she is still one of the active workers of the Baptist Church, she believed in being faithful to the end. Tuesday evening, Sept. 20 the young people met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Walker in an informal reception given in behalf of Miss Alena Dalphone and Anna Monroe. The evening was spent in games and story telling. Rev. and Mrs. C. P. Morrow, Mr. Andrew Walker, Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Webb are at the home of Mrs. S. Cuttle. The host left at a late hour singing the praises of Mrs. Syllaba Tuttle. Rev. Morrow and family will take their departure for home Wednesday, Sept. 12, for home.
