At the regular vesper, service, Sunday evening, the following program was given; spiritual, by the The Monroe Newe-Star tells of an unusually shocking anair that occurred near Eros, in Jackson parish, Christmas Day, in which two Negro women were shot down and a third perhaps fatally wounded, whites m n going the shooting. According to the story, Mrs. J. W. Wingate, ower of the plantation on which the killings occurred, went to spend the holidays. She charged a Negro tenant on her place to receive from and care for a valuable hunting dog that had been leashed to waits neighbors. The tenant sought to carry out the wishes of his mistress, but the m n who had the dog refused to deliver it to him. Subsequently a party of whites men, including those to whom the dog had been loaned, went to the tenant's quarters, some under the influence of liquor, and found not the tenant but his wife, four daughters and a grandchild. They told the Negro women they intended to keep the dog. Words passed, whereupon the visitors ordered the women to stand up in line to be kiled. The latter, thinking the men were jesting made no attempt to escape. Thereupon one or more of the white party opened fire, killing a girl of 15, another of 20 with a babe in her arms, fatally wounding a third daughter of the tenant and shooting the mother in the shoulder. If the facts as related by Mrs. Wingate to the News-Star are correct, the murder of these Negro women was an inexcusable crime, cowardly, brutal and ferocious, and the fact that the slayers are white and the vietims colored ought not to prevent the Jackson authorities from prosecuting the former to the limit. LYNCHING ON THE DECREASE (Savannah Tribune—Jan, 3, 1929) A low record was made last year in lynching. In fact this record has been on the decrease for the past several years. Nine is the record given, but it should really be eleven, for on the eve of the New year, the cannibalist inclined Mississippi, true to instinct, celebrated the year's passing by lynching two colored men. Even so the low record of the year lends encouragement to those who have been working so ardently during the past number of years for the passing of this blot on American civilization and the instelling of a spirit for the observance of law and order. Credit is to be given several sources for this improved condition. The Interracial Commission in the South is possibly to be given the greatest need of praise. Being of the South, its members are able to touch in an effective way those who may be disposed toward lawlessness. This class is inclined to listen to those who are of their soil, but resist as is termed the meddling of outsiders. Along with this the efforts of other groups and movements must not be discounted. The National Association in its investigations, disclosures and legal assistance, caused publicity that stirred southern citizens to activity against the habit. We are proud of Georgia. Of record, not a lynching took place during the year. May this fine record be continued, and may it reach Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and other states, thus making 1929 a lynchless year. school; prayer by Dean Blake E. Moore, followed by the chanting of the Lord's prayer, by the school; a selection by a trio composed of Mayme Duke, Dorothy Parks and Alberta Smith; a selection, by the chorus; a short talk, by the chorus; a short talk, by Dean Moore; and a vocal duet, by Mrs. Laura Anderson and Dennis Roberson.

WHO IS WIELDING MUCH POWER FOR GOOD Qualification is essential to a successful career, and while this is true a pleasing personality lends much toward one making good. Since Mrs. Burton, the efficient Secretary of the Archer Street Branch Y. W. C. A., assumed control of the work things have gradually moved up along all lines. She has in every respect provin herself capable of the work entrusted to her and was not long in convincing the public that she was prepared for "Y" service. She goes about her duties with a cheering word and a smile for all, and those who meet her not long in reaching the conclusion that she is entitled to the encouragement of all who believe in race uplift. She is a zealous worker, and her influence for good is permeating in all sections where our people live. Certainly no mistake was made in bringing her to the "Y" here, because we feel that under her able leadership the Y. W. C. A., building will, in the near future le ere te and it will be a God-send to our group. Regardless to how hard a task is, this little woman takes hold of it willingly, put herself into her duties and success is always hers. She has surrounded herself with progressive Christian Women who are rallying to Mrs. Burton, and The Eag'e is pleased to say that the "Y" work among us is in a progressive condition. She is fully prepared from an educational point of view, having finished her college course, taking special training in her line of work. Emporia Hearings ST. JAMES BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. V. L.

The results of the "Thrift Week" Program as carried on at The Water Street Branch Y, M. C. A., are very encouraging. Every school and club that came under influence of the program has evidenced the fact that some one thought on phase of thrift has gripped it. Time and again one can hear mention of some of the things related in the thrift message by the different men. Mr. Cochran's simple definition and application of thrift at Douglass dollar a week, at L'Ouverture and School, Mr. Bindford's division of a Dunbar Schools, Mr. Spines, true story of living before the K. R. T., Jr. Hi-Y, Sr. Hi-Y, clubs at the Y. M. C. A., building and Mr. Davison's heart to heart round table talk at Mary B. Talbert Y. W. C. A. building before the University Club, have meant much in instilling new and sound ideas of thrift in the minds and hearts of the boys and girls, and young men and young women. St. Joseph Mo.

"Let us hear the conclusion A PROTEST To the Baptist of the Kansas Stats Convention:— The election of the State Missionary by the Executive Board of the Conventios was illegal:— 1. Because persons who were not members of the Board participated and voted (Dr Scruggs and others.) 22 votes were cast, Rev. G. N. Jackson received 12; J. T. Elias receiving 10; so it would have been a tie vote if only members of the Board had voted. 2. Remember, no one District should contain all the important offices of the Convention, and hope to put over the Stata's, program for Kingdom Building, successfully.

Wheaton of Rural Cherry-vale, who has been quite ill is some- Five Cents Per Copy SERMON (Continued from last week.) BY REV. P. D. SKINNER, D. D. STATE EVANGELIST Text:— "In the beginnig God created the heavens and the earth, Gen. 1:1. This is the first thing that He created. The first material manifestation of His Divine Power, the first visible manifestation of His existence in the world. The first great big thing that He did for humanity. The question is often asked: Could God have created this preponderous thing in one calendar day? My answer is, that He could have done it if He willed to have done so. He is omnipotent. He is all powerful, He is able to do anything He pleases to do. He is Alwise and Omnipresent. He reaches from one end of creation to the other. He covers all space. He is not resuled to step from end to end, nor from corner to corner. His presence is everywhere, all the time. More-over, the plan for the creation and His purpose, design, and specifications were focussed in the infinite mind from all eternity. He did not need to bring together the material for other construction. Everything was produced within His mind and his tho't. It was His infinite power, that brot'evedything into realization, than why not do it at once and have it over with. He is not man; but He is God, not a God, but THE GOD. Again in John 1:2, 3, 4; we learn that the word was with God in the very beginning of creation and that the same word was God and by Him, all things were created and that nothing was made without Him. This same word was personified in the flesh, being begotten by the will of God, and of the Divine Spirit and hence, He became flesh and dwelt among men. Now what is the conclusion, evidently this; that God created both the heaven's and the earth by His word, then why speculate about how long he was creating these wonderful things, even the heavens and the earth. God usually does things in a moment of time the hood swept down upon the earth and destroyed it, suddenly Sodom and Gomarrah were swept away in a few moments God does not linger when he decides to do a thing, He just speak the word and it is done right now; Hence the author of Heb. puts it as should be when He said, "By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God. This is the only way we can understand it, who can know the mind of God, or who can be His counsellor? As we gaze and meditate upon this wonderful and magnificent things of creation we can only exclaim like the great Anostle and Gentile Missionary, Paul, "Oh, the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God. How unreachable is His judgment, and His ways pass finding out." I can only rejoice in the blessed and joyful fact, that I was in the infinite mind before the world was brought forth and He owns me and loves me and leadeth me into the rich treasures of His divine grace and points to these things and makes me an heir of all that He has made. This message is not mine, but His and it comes to me directly from His blazing Throne of Grace, His face with dadiance is shining on me, and His resplendent glory is beaming in my soul—Amen and Amen.

As the great mystery of time rushes on, swift as the ocean tide, we should bow our heads in humble submission to Him The Negro Star—for the Good of the People who has brought us through the many mysteries to the new year of 1929, and te know that He has won- derfully blessed our efforts during the past year. His hidden' hand has shifted the scenes and we have had some pleasant and sunshiny days 11 service, Tho’ some days were dark and gloomy, we could always feel the Holy Sptrit near us; and imagine we could see His smiling face, while this has not been the banner year for the Mission, Circle work; it has been the busiest year. We have had to stay on the job, realizing the prize is not given to the awift nor to the strong, but to he that endureth to the end, Pastor Williams’ ser- mons have meant much to us. They fare wholesome and practleal Tae series of sermons on Love and Pray- er has meant everything to me aa o leader of the Mission Circle. The Tastor has stood by our work and we can truly say we have a real pas- tor and a Christian man, Our top> ics end Bible discussions have been Yelpful; and we find it {s a true say- ing, the word of God will either diew or drive you. We are proud to say we held fifty- two devotional meetings and a num- her of business meetings in 1928. We feel the Lord has blessed every effort and the Holy Spirit was al- ways present and we pray that each ene will enter into the words this DESTROYS \ Moths.
