From head to pinkie feet!

To let a ray of sunshine jn,
And to chase away the tears?

MASS MEETING
Upen being advised of The Blood
Ei, The Ministerial Laague caled a
mecting and sent the Chaiiman o:
the Comm.ttee on Puvlic Moras,
Kev, B. L, Marchant, to the State
Capitol. Uupon his return, he made
a lcport and the League called a
Mass Meeting, for Sunday,
Therefore, on Sunday afternoon,
mora than three hundred citizens
gathered at Calvary Church, to hear
the report, and to take further ac-
tion,
The following resolution was adopt-
ed, and funds raised to wire the
same to our Legislator, and other In-
terested persons,
RESOLUTION
Whereas, there has been introduc.
el in the Kancas State Legislature,
1929, House Bill No. 300, providing
for the maintanance of a High
School for Negroes in cities of 95000
population and above.
And, whereas we recognize that
such a bill. if it becomes a law, will
affect Wichita,
And, recognizing that the present
number of Negro Students in the
Wichita High School (103) would
not justify the extravagant expendi-
ture of Tunds that would be necessa-
rv for the providing of equal facili-
ties, %
And, believing that such a law, if
passed, would be contradictory to
the history and traditions of Kansas,
as well as the present tides of Good
Will, so manifest between the races
throughout the State and Nation,
and among the races of the world.
And, whereas we believe such an
act to be contradictory to the spirit |
of Democracy, as well as contrary to:
the spirit of the Christian Religion.
Therefore, we the Negro Citizens
of Wichita, Kansas, in Mass Mecting
assembled, do hereby petition the
Kansas State Legislature, 1929 Ses-
sion, to vote against this:—House
Bill No, 300,
The said Mass Meeting was held
under the auspices of the Wichita,
Ministerial League—Composed of the
entire ministry of the Negro Church-
of the City—ten In number, and with
the individual personal approval of
all of the constituent members.

DR. SCOTT SPEAKS
| ON CITIZENSHIP
' In the Irosh.aan Lecture Seites,
last week at Howatd Lunversity, ur.
jEmmett J. Seat, Sotrotary Treas.
lun er, spoke on the nabject of Citizen-
whip. He urged students to tear ta
| tad the reapunsililities as well as
\the privileges of citizenship, and
rthose responsib ities in par icu'ar
\that have to da whh the common
problems of evciyday hfe.
“The comiaonplace responsibilities
lof ertizenship,” nid the speaker,
“require more sublime \fitues than
the great national c-is's that ca'l
forth heroic action, Such sete call
for character, cducatkn, se f-:e-
straint, courage, andeommor rence,
“By such dally conduct the indi-
MEiual hes the cffect of "Itt ng the
devel of citizenship a bit hizter and
of extending a bit further ahead, the
torch of civi ization,
‘The everyday arts of citirn
ship,” Dr. Scott continied, “iavohe
one’s duty to his farily ond to his
neighbors, as well as to his state.
The payment of taxes and voting are
mere symbols of citizenship, wile
human rights and progerty rights
are the rewards of that citizership.
“Commonplace, everyday duties of
citizenship involve a high moral
tense that will deprive no man of
any right guaranteed him by the
Constitution of the country, and that
will seek to promote the greatest
happiness for the greatest number.”
The speaker concluded with the
statement that with the privileges
of citizenship there goca the respon-
sibility to ery out against inequality,
fraud and oppression, and ever to
contend for the right of life, hberty,
and the pursuit of happiness, to
which every citizen of the country is
entitled.

The following quotation was taken from an address on "The Church and Race Relations," conducted by The Department of Social Relations, Congregational Educational Society:— New York, December 27, 1928. The question is not so much a problem, as to what happens to Negroes who are deprived of the privileges of Membership in a church as to what happens to the Church that in the Name of Jesus Christ, takes a position that woul prohibit any child of his from becoming a member.

The Second Baptist Church had the good fortune of having preach for them, Rev. Staves. He is a very excellent speaker and can sing, also, which is a great advantage to his line of work.
The Sunday School is now headed by Chester I. Lewis, who is bringing great things to pass among the young folk. The assistant Supt., is Miss Bernice Morris of the local high school.
Mrs. Richard McQuarry was re-lected as head of the Mission Circle for the new year. She is considered a hard worker and the weather never gets too cold for her to do her duty. The church at this time is without a pastor; ary church needs a pastor, and a good man would do well here. Mrs. Bertha Lewis entertained the New Era Club, Wednesday, Feb. 13, at 3 p. m., assisted by Mrs. Ora White. Deacons Vern T. Watts, Claude P. Lewis and Champ McCalep are the pulpit committee for the church. The pianist, Mrs. E. E. Turner,
left for Detroit, Michigan, last week. She and Mr. Turner expect to stay some time.
A PARABLE OF EXCUSES AND ACCUSATIONS
Now there dwelt in the City where I lived a man whom I knew, and so far as I was aware he was All Right. For while I had never heard anything Very Good about him, neither had I heard anything bad, and I was not looking for it. And he was married, and so far as I knew his Marriage was an happy one. And there was in that City a woman, and of her I knew nothing that was wrong, and I was not expecting to learn of it. And it came to pass of an evening that I ate my Dinner in a restaurant, and I beheld this man and this woman eating there together. And I bade them Good Evening and went on about my Business, and forgot it.
And the next day did the man call upon me, and explain to me, that this lady was a neighbor, and that her husband was a good friend of his, and was out of town, and that his own wife also was out of town, and that they had clubed their loneliness and taken dinner together. And I thought that was All Right and said so.
And a day or two later I met the lady, and she took pains to tell me that her meeting with this neighbor was All Right.
And by that time I was Growing Suspicious.
And afterward, I hanced to meet them both together, and they made Earnest Haste to Explain to me just how it happened, and by that time I was Pretty Certain that something was Wrong.
Now I might have seen these two friends and neighbors together Twice or Twenty Times and have thought no evil of it, but when they began to Explain, then did I begin to Suspect.

The Power of the Thunderbolt For the Conquest of the Skies
DENJAMIN FRANKLIN little thought that the electricity which he drew down from the clouds would one day be a vital factor in stimulating discovery and development of a power for man's conquest of the skies.
The thunderbolt was the most spectacular manifestation of the uncontrollability of the elements—the freedom of the heavens. Yet man today rides those elements, traverses the cloudlands. And it is the power of the thunderbolt which enables him to do it.
Kansas is pre-eminently a land of filers. The clear skies beckon. The equable climate encourages. The level miles on miles of prairie land offer fair landing fields. And from his mother's knee the Kansan speaks the language of the air.
Kansas, consequently, has come to be the center of the nation's air industry. In 1928 Kansas manufactured 1,392 airplanes nearly 40 per cent of all the licensed commercial airplanes produced in the entire United States. The total value of these ships of the air was more than $3,500,000. Thousands of persons are employed in the manufacture, distribution, flying, selling, or accessory-making of the airships produced in Kansas.
Kansas is accustomed to seeing the air celebrities of the world.

Oxford, which is in England, and he said. Never explain; never retract; never apologize; get it done and Let Them Howl.
And I do not altogether advocate that method, either; but even that is better than too much explanation.
For Explanation is Often Self-accusation; and it setteth people to wondering why an Explanation was deemed necessary, if everything was right.

The Thunderbolt
Rest of the Skies
Col. Lindbergh drops in today; Art Goebel stops over for a short visit tomorrow; other famed filers may be guests the next day. Some of the best-known names in the air world are borne by Kansans—the Walter Beeches, the Clyde V. Cessnas, the Lloyd Stearmans and their brother craftsmen.
No other single factor has played a more vital part in this marvelous development than the electric light and power industry. From the very first, electric power executives sensed the significance of the air industry. Following the policy of encouraging and building new enterprises, they placed their facilities at the disposal of the pioneer plane builders. And today the upto-date plane factories of Kansas are thoroly equipped with electrified machinery.
On the field, after night, the great electric beacons signal the position of the haven to every wandering ship of the air.
Electric welding, electric lathes, electric devices of all kinds may be seen in the factories.
The next time you watch an airplane aloft, think of the part your electric light and power company has in this wonderful new enterprise—harnessing the thunderbolt for the conquest of the skies.

Wherefore, beloved, do thou end deavor so to live as that it will no be necessary to Explain too many things; for if thy reputation is good, people are more likely to trust thy Conduct than to accept thine explanation.
And I might remark in closing, that I learned in time why the two people I have been telling about thought it necessary to explain.
