NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct. 4—In a conspicuous editio, entitled "Prevention of Lynchings," the Nashville Christian Advocate, official general organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, highly commends the recently-enacted Virginia into syngthy law which empowers the State to search for arrest and punish lynchers. "County officials may object to each a show of State authority," the Advocate rays, "but the law is good. Something must be done in the realm of the whole country when crimes are found where juries refuse to convict lynchers where real justice will not bring indictments, where protests through the pulpit and the press are the only deterents, notorious ineffective. There is no defense of lynching nor no excuse for communities where lynchers are allowed to go unsought and are immune from testimony and from them guilty. The editor copies as the opinion that "if all the people in a community wate as much opposed to mobs as are the better class, there would be no more lynching. But so long as tice are lawless men who release their fry upon a victim, there must be restraint upon them fixed by the strong arm of the government." IN MEMORY CHERRYVALE, KANSAS. A.

I borrowed enough money to rent headquarters and put in a lit furniture, and now, I turn my face to the Brotherhood and appeal to them to come to my assistance.

Now, My Brother the Convention thrust this great responsibility upon me and you as one of the members of the Convention and one of the builders of the Kingdom know that it is awful to begin a great task like this without any money and a hard hearted set of men and women to whom to appeal.

C., Sept 29—A playground project put on during the summer by the Charleston Interracial Committee proved so successful, that it is hoped something permanent may come of it. The committee secured for the experiment the playground of Wesley Church and for a period of one month placed the playground and its equipment at the disposal of the colored children of the community. The grounds were opened each afternoon and the attendance ran from fifty to 120 per day. Two paid workers: Misses Sadie Bennette and Alice Michel, were employed to supervise the play, under the general direction of Miss Corine Jones city supervisor of playgrounds. Rev, John C. Gibbs, pastor of Wesley Church, Mrs. Gibbs and others, gave volunteer assistance. The tunes for the operation of the playground were supplied by friends through the Interracial Committee. In the United States there are 15.3 telephones per 100 inhabitants, as compared with 1.6 in Europe. The difference is primarily one of methods of government. In Europe 86 per cent of telephone communication is operated by the government; in the United States telephones are privately owned. Our telephone supremacy is an adequate initiative and ability. RESULTS SEEM DISAPPOINTING (Industrial News Bureau) (Industrial News Bureau) Compulsory automobile liability insurance has been advocated because it is a legal that it will assure the financial responsibility of drivers, reduce accidents, and lower insurance costs. While 38 states have voted down proposals for such compulsory insurance, only one state, Massachusetts, has established state wide compulsory automobile liability insurance. The value of such a law is questionable. It makes many citizens buy insurance unwillingly. It makes insurance companies issue insurance on undesirable risks. It makes insurance agents do more work for less pay. It affords no protection to citizens against recklessness of drivers of cars from other states. It prevents no accidents, as more people were KIDS" DOES MOVVER TRUST ME... DADDY? WHY CERTAINLY, SONNY!

'POLITICS CAN'T HELP FARMERS' (Industrial News Bureau) Portland, Oregon, news, in a recent editorial, points out the folly of such proposals as legislative action for "farm relief." Logical and progressive farmers are finding it increasingly evident that such measures would not solve their difficulties but would, on the other hand, amplify them. "Class legislation, proposed by political windbags, never is going to help the American farmer," says the News. "The farmer who thinks it is, is de uding himself. "If government arbitrarily fixes prices, it won't be long before other lines of industry will demand the same thing." "The upshot will be that we shall have a grand orgy of government price fixing and meddling. The farmer may get a little more for his products, but he will pay more for every thing else he buys and, in the long run, he will be worse off than he is now. "This newspaper, friend of the farmer and ardent supporter of the theory that prosperity in the city depends on prosperity on the farm, sees in the various fake 'solutions' to the farm problem only trouble for farmer and city man aike. You cannot arbitrarily upset supply—and demand and not reap the deadful consequences."

Paul Preaching in Ephesus (v. 810). I. In the synagogue (v. 8) 1. In the synagogue we see. Paul custom was to go to the Jews first with the gospel, though they were his inveterate enemies. His preaching here was characterized by. (1) Boldness. He knew that God had sent him and therefore that he was backed by divine authority. This should characterize every Christian worker. (2) Argument. The gospel message is in accord with the highest reason. (3) Persuasion It is not enough that the minister come boldly with a reasonable message. It must be accompanied with persuasion "Knowing the terror of the Lord we persuade men." (4) The message should have dilliple content. It was concerning the kingdom of God, Paul's supreme theme was salvation through Christ. 2. In the schoolhouse of Pyrannus (xx, 9, 10). Paul's earnest sculptural and persuasive preaching only hardened the hearts of the Jews, even causing them to speak evil opulence of this way of salvation by faith in Christ. It was for this reason that Paul separated the disciples from them and rattled to the schoolhouse of Pyrannus, where he continued his ministry for two years with glorious results. 11. God Working Miracles by Paul (xx, 11 10). Upholus was noted for his wonder workers, therefore if Paul's industry was to be successful God must in an extraordinary way put His soul upon the work. So wonderful was the all divine power manifest that even hand-ketchels or aprons brought from Paul's body healed the sick and cast out evil spirits. Everywhere the supernacy of the Lord Jesus Christ was recognized Seeing the miraculous power operating through Paul, certain strolling Jews who went about the country practicing the magical arts at the expense of their poor unfortunate fellows, a detour to use he name "Jesus" in their incantations knowing that the connection with Christ was not real on the part of these Jews the use of His name by them only on angered the evil spirit who struck them and overgame them "The name of Jesus is only powerful on he believer's calling.

It brought to the front those who professed faith in Christ, while not living tight lives (c. 18). They believed but had not broken from sin. Great blessing would come to the church if some awakening could come to those whose lives are not in keeping with their profession and cause them to openly confess and make a new start. 3.

The Thirty-seventh Annual Session of the Missionary Baptist State Convention and the Women's Home and Foreign Mission Convention of Kansas, to be held, October 9-14, '28 with The Independent Baptist Church at Leavenworth, Kansas, Rev. B. J. Davidson, Pastor, GENERAL APPEAL! Dear Co-Worker: This brings us to the close of another conventional year. Our Association is to be held with the Independent Baptist Church, Leavenworth, Kansas, on October 9-14. This has been a year of uncertainties and yet we feel, that we have done our best. Many were not able to subscribe to the new program which called for a certain amount of the budget to be paid directly to the State. The amount that your church should have given this year has been carried in The Negro Star, the official organ of the Convention. Will you kindly look up the Negro Star and note the amount that your church should give. We are suggesting that the amount due the convention at this time is the amount less what you have paid through your Association. It should be your Christian duty to put forth every effort to raise this amount and bring to the State Convention. If this cannot be done we ask that all large churches bring from fifty to one hundred dollars and the smaller churches bring ten to twenty-five dollars. The amount can be raised with case if al. the churches raily and do their part. We all concede that the pastor is the key man of the church and the congregation will follow his lead and attempt to do as he directs. Beloved, please lay this heavily upon the hearts of your people, and let's make this the best convention in the history of the State of Kansas. We urge that each church in the state be represented in person or letter. If you cannot be present in person you may send all money to Rev. A. W. Ross, the Executive Secretary, in case of Rev. B. Davidson, Sixth and Iottawatomie Streets Leavenworth, Kansas. All checks or orders to be made to the Treasurer, Rev. W. H. Young. We are expecting this to be our banner year. May we depend on you? Our prayer is that God will bless your ours and give you an abundant success. Sincerely, REV. W. A. BOWREN, President, REV. A. W. ROSS, Executive Secy, REV. B. L. MARCHANT, Rec. Sec'y, MRS.

KANSAS CITY NEWS CHRISTIAN HOME BAYFIST CH. REV. H. J. JOHNSON, PASTOR. Services at Christian Home Baptist Church for the past two weeks have been running in high speed. We have been engaged in soul saving campaign conducted by Rev. H. H. Jones of the Second Baptist Church of Junction City, Kans, who is a student of the Kansas Central Baptist Theological Seminary, under Dean E. L. Scruggs at Topka, Kans. Rev. Jones is a traight young man, wide awake; and without any flattering he is a Gospel preacher. He preached as one preaching with authority, being very powerful and instructive. Our hearts were made to rejoice as Rev. Jones, so earnestly preached tying so hard to convey the Gospel truces unto wicked men and women. One soul was graciously converted and several, who had been for many months shaking duty came back and renewed their command. Junction City, and Central Baptist Seminary, you have nothing for which to ashame in sending Rev. Jones out to preach the Gospel of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We wish it was so he could remain with us, but we realize the Great commands was, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature;" so we are going to let some one else enjoy the service that is being rendered by this young Paul. We bid Jim God's repent. Rev. Jones is worthy of any The Negro Star-For the Good of the People congregation healing, and we the members of Christian Home Baptist Church, say to Kansas, you have joined a God sent man and to any church, you miss a treat of your life by not trying to have Rev. Jones come and conduct assoal-saying meeting for you. We are praying that this will be a stepping stone to greater things. We have been helped wonderfully by Rev. Jones' coming over in Macedonia and he ping us. M. B. Talbert Y.W.C.A. The committees of the Y. W. C. A. had a joint meeting at the C. W. C. A. on Monday evening, September 16.

BRETHREN, Come to Leavenworth, with a clear conscience that you have done your best to bring to the sheaves' for the Master. They don't want you to give excuses, the Master wants you to do your duty, which one will your reports show is leading you?

CHRISTIANS prepare to vote on Nov. 6, you may be called on to safeguard your church from Sunday Movies. There is an effort on to have this city to become an open city for Sunday Movies. It does seem as though six days and nights' show would be enough for any person to take in the world's views of life and let God have one day to edify the soul for eternal life. If you don't prepare in time, you will find your churches empty in the near future and your boys and girls in the movies. Begin your progaganda now so you will be able to help offset anything that comes up to hinder the impaiting of truths of God's word. THINK!!! THINK!!! LETTERS from the State Central Committee, came yesterday requesting Mr. Sam Jones and Editor H. T. Sims to get busy and make safe the voters for the Republican party in the November election. They realize the battle is going to be hard, so they want real soldiers for the party and right to get on the firing line. The party is planning some very definite things for the Negro, after this election. Attorney Bradshaw has an office in the Central State Committee's Headquarrers in Topeka, and is directing the forces throughout the state. Let us give the old party one more chance and if she fails us, we will be compelled to fail her or go the way of the most benefit for the Race. Let no man buy your vote, give it freely on a principle and one who hasno principle of right for all, vote him out. THE WEEK-DAY RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS are well attended at the New Hope and Calvary Churches. This religious training is meeting a much needed development in the life of the child. In order that his soul might be able to reason with his intellect and help reach the right conclusion for guidance for the whole man. It goes to reason that every Christian teacher in the city schools will cooperate with the churches and parents in helping to get over this Bible knowledge. If they don't, they should be marked out by the parents and with the influence of the Council of Churches, put out of business the developing of heads and neglecting hearts. We mean that the parents of the city should ask for teachers, who love God and want to see His name manifested, getting rid of all worldly-minded ones who think it is not necessary.

School nurse says all girls should know this A TALKING to a roomful of high school girls on personal hygiene, an experienced district nurse said: "One of the basic rules of health for girls is to keep the system functioning naturally at all times. Normal exercise and diet habits should be encouraged. But when necessary there is no harm in taking nujol, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol should always be taken. Take a spoonful every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or gas pains or gripping." Nujol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are feeling because it is so pure and harmless, and works so easily. Every woman should keep a bottle on hand. Every druggist has this remarkable substance.
