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.

Several new students are expected to enter this term. W1CHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Feb. 1, 1929. SECRETARY MAKING GOOD MRS. NETTIE FAY BURTON, SECRETARY OF ARCHER BRANCH Y. W. C. A. 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. Rev. J. S. King and C. W. were victims of the icy walks by taking on good hard falls, jarring them up completely with no bones broken.

Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By RKF V H. HITEWAITN DU, Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (6, 1929) Western Newspaper Union 1 Lesson for February 3 THE HOLY SCRIPTURES LESSON TEXT-11 Tim 8 14-17 Bul. 10 314 Ps. 18 7-14. GOLDEN TEXT—Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. PROMARY TOPIC—Our Bible JUNIOR TOPIC—Our Bible INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC Why Read the Bible? IC—Why Read the Bible YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—What the Bible is For. 1. The Scriptures Are Divinely Inspired. (11 Tim. 3:10). The first thing to be settled concerning the Canonical Scriptures is their inspiration and authority. In the Scriptures God is at "sundry times and in divers manners" speaking to man (Heb. 1:1). Paul in this passage declares them to be "God breathed," meaning that the utterances of Holy Writ were God's breath in men's mouths. The Holy Scriptures do not merely contain the Word of God, but are in verity the message of God to man. The main cause of the moral breakdown of society is that men have been robbed of their faith in the Bible as the authoritative message from God. II. The Value of the Scriptures (II Tim. 3:14 17). 1. Able to make wise unto salvation (v. 15). Salutation is in Christ alone. It is secured through faith in His finished work on the cross. True wisdom leads to Christ crucified, since there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and without the shedding of blood there is no remission ( Heb 9:22). 2. Disciplines the life (vv. 10, 17). 2. Disciplines the life (Vv. 10, 11). In this "doctrine" is set forth the necessary standard of conduct. The only place to find the teaching of God is in His Holy Word. It not only sets forth a standard of life, but it proves—confutes error. The way to deal with error is not by denunciation but with a positive presentation of truth. The Word corrects (sets straight the dislocations of personal and social conduct), instructs in righteousness, and equips for service III. The Nature and Effects of God's Law (Fen. 10:7-11). I. Perfect. It is without flaw; converts and restores the soul; turns man back to holiness and to God. 2. Sure. It is absolutely dependable. God cannot lie. Man's reasoning changes, but God's Word endures forever. It makes wise the simple. Not only does it makes wise unto salvation, but wise regarding the legitimate things of this world. 8. Right. The precepts and judgments of the Lord are expressions of absolute righteousness. They fill the believer with rejoicing. 4. Pure. There is in it no mixture of error. It makes no compromise with that which is untrue. Because of this it enlightens the eyes. 5. Clean. The Word affects the life. Its cleansing is from within and from without. 6. True and righteous. The decisions of God's Word are true, without exception. The judgments of God's Word are unimpeachable. Because of these qualities God's Word is more to be desired than the choicest gold. Obedience thereto brings great reward. IV. The Prayer of the Bellever (1'ba, 19:12 14). The life brought face to face with God's Word is seen as sinful. The soul cries out for 1. Cleansing (v. 12) The perfect laws reveal the imperfections of the life. The Word of God reveals sins of which the individual may be ignorant (Isa. 6:5). 2. To be kept from presumptuous sin (v. 13). Presumptuous, arrogant sins are peculiarly dangerous. In the Mosaic economy no sacrifice was provided for such sins. 3. Freedom from the dominion of such sins (v. 13). How awful is the slavery of those who are in bondage to presumptuous sins. 4 That the words of the mouth and meditation of the heart be kept acceptable in God's sight. From how many dangers the believer would be freed if the words and meditations of the heart were kept in line with the Holy Scriptures. Our Possessions I will place no value on anything I have or possess, except in its relation to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. —David Livingstone. Lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.—Heb 12:12, 13. Hopelessness of Hypocrisy For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon blint?—Job 27:8, 9. B. Y P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 613 Wabash Avenue Matt. 10:16-42. The Challenge of Christ to the Youth of the World. The challenge of Christ is to the best among us and to the best within us, only can meet the challenge and satisfy the claim. There is a triple contest for the life of the Youth. One is calling for the best within us the other for the worse. Where and how will you cast your vote. The majority rules. Chris's challenge to the youth offers the greatest opportunity for preparation and service. The anthilation of time and space have made it possible to see and do more in one day than could be seen and done in many many days, a generation ago. However, if the youth is to meet the call it must focus its time and interest upon the fundamental things of life the things that matter most. Christ is sending the youth north today as lambs among wolves they are to be wise and harmless. They are to speak and represent their master at any cost. Suffering and sacrifice are the price we pray but they are not worthy to be compared to the glory that such a devout witnessing for Christ and in this stead brings upon the women the woman of the king of tenor and the will use even those of our own household against us. THOUGHTS Christ has caused us to Him to send us forth for him. Those who go forth for Christ have both a message and protection. The challenge to youth is not so much to correct error, but to proclaim truth. Two are bidding for one life and service but Christ is the highest bidder. NOTICE!!

At the evening services at the conclusion of the devotional service, conducted by the deacons, Rev.'Favors brought the message, using as his text, 1st Cor. 14;15, subject, "How we Should Sing and Pray." In his discourse, Rev. Favors said, "Singing and praying constitute the chief part of our public worship; Suppose all of the church should refuse to sing—suppose all the church should refuse to pray, what would be the result? The church needs to do more singing. The externals are not of the first importance—the organ, piano, notes, etc. The reason the church doesn't sing any more, is because it isn't in tune with God. We should sing with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit should be permitted." The Negro Star-for the Good of the People DR. HUGH N.

We should ask ourselves: "What does the song mean to me?" If we are going to worship God in song, we must stop and think. To sing with the understanding, the intellectual alone, is not singing with the spirit. The church should not depend on the choir to do the singing. When you feel like singing or praying, you ought to sing or pray. Persons in the congregation have a right, and should lea ad song when the spirit directs them."

AN ESSAY Coffeyville, Kansas, Jan. 8., To the Pastor and Co-workers of the Calvary Baptist Mission Circle:— It affords me no small degree of pleasure to come before you to say a few words concerning our Mission work and its success. As the great mystery of time rushes on, swift as the ocean tide, we should bow our heads in humble submission to Him ```markdown ``` The Negro Star-for the Good of the People who has brought us through the many mysteries to the new year of 1929, and to know that He has wonderfully blessed our efforts during the past year. His hidden hand has shifted the scenes and we have had some pleasant and sunshiny days in service. Tho' some days were dark and gloomy, we could always feel the Holy Spirit 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 swift nor to the strong, but to he that endureth to the end. Pastor Williams' sermons have meant much to us. They are wholesome and practical The series of sermons on Love and Prayer has meant everything to me as a leader of the Mission Circle. The Pastor has stood by our work and we can truly say we have a real pastor and a Christian man. Our topics and Bible discussions have been helpful; and we find it is a true saying, the word of God will either draw or drive you. We are proud to say we held fifty-two devotional meetings and a number of business meetings in 1928. We feel the Lord has blessed every effort and the Holy Spirit was always present and we pray that each one will enter into the words this FLIT DESTROYS Moths, Flies Bedbugs Roaches Other Household insects FLIT Get a can of FLIT today!

MRS.WINSLOW'S SYRUP year with renewed vigor and sincerity. We hope to make this a banner year, both spiritually and financially, trusting that more of our people will have better jobs and more money. We are praying for a revived church and more love in our hearts for our fellowman. I want to thank the supervisorvisors of the Starlight Band and the chairmen of the committees for their assistance in helping our work during the past year to succeed; for we realize it was with your assistance, we accomplished as much as we did. Our sewing circle—The President was anxious that we would accomplish a great work; since we did not—let us start with a greater zeal this year to do more and greater work. Our circle has been visited by the strong power of death and which carried two of our most faithful workers in the persons of Mrs. Gertrude Fowlkes and Ass't President, Sister Callie Riley. Their good deeds shall live on; We realize that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord.

Those lights are the electric lights in the oil fields—lights which enable Kansas to produce her rich quota of petroleum in the dark hours as well as the bright ones. Night and day you can hear the pumping as electricity brings the liquid gold to the surface. Kansas is a great petroleum producer. Discovery of rich new oil pools within the past few months have enriched dozens of Kansas communities. Already proven pools have been enlarged, raising Kansas' production to a new peak. At the present time more than 100,000 barrels of oil are being pumped from bencath the Kansas sod every day in the year. Those 100,000 barrels of petroleum are worth approximately $160,000, at Kansas G Kansas Gas and E "At You For prevention against guminfections, use Zonite, the new powerful antiseptic. Also guards against colds, coughs and more serious diseases of nose and throat. We have been earnest in the work, but acknowledging that we are so imperfect, there have been some mistakes; but they were not of the heart but of the head. It has been our daily prayer that the Lord will lead us in the ways of righteousness. We are not declining because we don't want to work, we want to help some one else do a greater work; Trusting this will be the banner year for the work of the Calvary Baptist Mission Circle, if we abide by the pastor's subject, Sunday morning, laying aside weights and lifting up Christ to a dying and perishing world. He will crown our work with success. Respectfully submitted, MRS. M. WARREN, Pres. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CH.

In other words, Kansas produces the staggering total of $58,400,000 worth of oil each year—a total which is constantly rising! Electricity exerts a powerful influence in the production of oil and its refinement and distribution. Electricity pumps the petroleum; it has many important functions in running machinery at the more progressive refineries; it serves as illumination and adds to sales as a result, in filling stations. In a word, the electric industry of Kansas is linked inseparably with the important oil industry. It enables you, by permitting producers and refiners to use the latest, most efficient methods, to get your motor fuel and lubricants at the lowest possible cost. The next time you guide your automobile over the smooth pavements, think of the electric industry, and its part in adding to your comfort, pleasure and convenience. electricCompany Service" the Divine Christ, a loving Savior.
