On Tuesday night, Feb. 12th, the ADDRESS BRIEF STATEMENT AS TO THE FACTS CONCERNING SHERWOOD EDDY'S ADDRESS AT MANHATTAN. FEB. 5, 1929. Frank H. West. George Sherwood Eddy gave five addresses at Manhattan, during Farm and Home week. None of his addresses had as their subject either the sex problems or any kindred subject. In four of his addresses he did not refer to the disputed social question, but dealt with matters of World Brotherhood and other problems before the American people, such as World Peace, Relations Between Capital and Industry, etc.; In one address he got over into the matter of social questions. He did not refer at all to the matter of "Mutual Agreement on Divorce," neither did he in any way endorse "Companionate Marriage." He went on record in favor of early marriages and of both man and wife working on occasion at least for a time. I understand he stated himself as in favor of young men and women sometimes getting married before finishing their college courses, either one or both, feeling that happier and more successful partnerships would thus be established. He further felt that much better college work would be done if they both were settled and a process of sharing set up. I understand he expressed himself as strongly opposed to the laws which forbid dissemination of information concerning birth control. He did not and does not give information concerning birth control because he states himself in favor of strict obedience to the law, but also as strongly favorable to a change of the law. Whether he went too far in his statements and was too radical is a matter, of course, of individual opinion. The above is a brief resume of the facts as gotten over the telephone from reliable people in Manhattan and sent out so that association officers in Kansas may be able to answer critics at least partially.

RACE PROBLEM HUMAN ONE SAYS BISHOP AMERICA MUST FIND THE MEANS OF ADJUSTMENT ATLANTA GA., Feb. — The American people have the opportunity to do the world a great service if they can find a means by which diverse taces may live side by side in mutual good will and helpfulness, said nishop Francis J. McConnell, in a series of addresses on "The Wider Significance of the African Problem." delivered at Gammon Theological Seminary, last week. "The race problem in our country is not sectional," he said; "it never has been. No section has the right to assume a 'holier than thou' attitude toward any other. It is not even an American problem, nor one exclusively of white and black relationships. Instead it is a human problem of world-wide extent. It happens, however, that America and particularly the South, occupies position of strategic and peculiar importance in relation to it so that our leadership in this field is almost certain to influence the world vastly for good or ill. "I am not afraid of the uprising of the tinted races that some have predi tcd," continued Bishop McConnell, "but I am afraid that unless we speedily build a bridge of justice; and co-operation the chasm of misunderstanding and distrust may become so deep as to be impassable, thus shutting off each group from the contribution it ought to receive from each other. "Some things in our American race relations are already discrediting Christianity in mission lands, as when in Mexico I saw a list of American lynchings printed and paraded in the effort of General Huerta to stir that country to war against the United States, and again in China, was confronted with the same list as a reason why China should reject our civilization and our religion." Bishop McConnell is President of the Federal Council of Churches. W. L. H. scribary had the honor of adding four new members to our roll, which was appreciated. The circle is always glad to we'come new members and visitors. Collection for the evening, $5.11. Next Tuesday right the club will meet with Mrs. Dorothy Knight, 20) Kline St., 7:30 p. m.

The Excelsior Jr. Mission Society met last Tuesday evening with Miss Knight; Bible lesson was instructed by Mrs. A. L. Branch, Matt. 6. The young ladies expressed themselves as having gained much inspiration from this lesson. It o'clock service was one of no small note. Pastor preached from Tome, "Spiritual Radio," Manyhirn points were given on how the human being is both a radio and broadcasting station. At 3 p. ... the Council of Churches met to again examine the Rev. S. Jackson, pastor of the Central Baptist Church for ordination. Rev. Jackson made a passing mark and was recommended for ordination the 1st Sunday in March. At 6 p. m., the B. Y, P. U. was opened by president., and one of the greatest programs ever witnessed in the history of the church was rendered by the Willing and Ready section.

HIGH LIGHTS OF CHRISTIAN WORLD EDUCATION CONFERENCE By MONTEL PARKS Beginning Saturday morning Feb. 23, at 10 o'clock at the Y. W. C. A., the Christian World Education Conference opened with some one hundred and seventy-five delegates from Sterling, McPherson, Central, Bethel, and Southwestern Colleges; Wichita, and Friends Universities; Hutchinson, Eldorado, and Arkansas City Junior Colleges. This conference was held under the auspices of student committees from Friends and Wichita Universities, representatives from the local Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A., and The Council of Churches in Co-operation with the Rocky Mountain Division of the National Student Council of the Y. W. C. A., and the Rocky Mountain Field Council Student Division of the Y. M. C. A., assisted by five local committees. The conference proper started at 10 o'clock Saturday morning with the introduction of all delegates and their leaders. Following this Miss Winifred Wygal, who had just returned from a trip around the world, studying students the world over, told us, what the students of the rest of the world were thinking of us, and how they were meeting their problems. The open forum that followed brought out some very interesting facts. Among these was the opinion the foreigner had of (we) Americans. This opinion was anything but good, and the reason for this was the attitude the tourists take when traveling in foreign countries. It was stated that the average tourist has an attitude of superiority and acts like a spoiled child. Following this came the period of devotion led by Arthur Rugh, a returned Y. M. C. A., Secretary from China. This devotional period was one of the most interesting and instructive parts of the conference. Saturday afternoon at two o'clock Bishop J. A. Gregg told us some very vital facts in his lecture on "Equilibrium." He broke down all reasons for upholding prejudice. Miss Wygal led the open forum that followed his lecture. In the devotional period that followed this discussion, Mr. Rugh brought out some very interesting facts showing how much, The American student is spending for Religion and Missions, His figures show that about $223 00 is spent for pleasure to $2.16 for religion and Missions for a year. Saturday evening beginning at 6:30 came the Fellowship Supper with some 57 different nationalities represented. Following the supper came the Grand Mixer in which everyone got a chance to meet everyone else. Sunday morning at 0 o'clock, we met to hear a wonderful address by John Elder on "The Adjustment of the Church to the Growing World Opportunity." This was followed by devotions under the subject, "Is Christ Sufficient for These Things?" led by Arthur Rugh. Then the conference attended the First Presbytetian Church in a body. Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock Mr. Chas, H. Corbett spoke on "Carrying On" urging the students to carry on the things they had learned at the confeence, in their schools when they returned them. The conference closed at 4 o'clock Sunday February 24, 1929. Miss Nestine Graves sang: "My Task. Rev. A. J. Johnson of Colorado Bantist Theological Seminary and a service. Many rejoiced while hearing this inspiring message. Rev. Johnson is now a student of the Baptist Theological eminary and a member of our church. The Excelsior Jr. Miaison Circle will meet this week at the home of Mrs. Jessie Davis, 812 Wood St. ANNOUNCING Hero is something about your telephone service that you ought to know. Some firms advertise two or more telephone numbers, at Market 1234-1275. This is wrong and this letter will explain why. It res, its in difficulty at times to REQUEST-PRAYER GOD SEND US MEN! God send us men whose aim will be. Not to defend some worn-out cred. But to live out the laws of Christ In every thought, and word and deed. God send us men alert and quick His lofty precepts to translate. Until the laws of Christ become The laws and habits of the State. God send us men! God send us men! Patient, courageous, strong and true. With vision clear and mind equipped. His will to learn, His work to do. God send us men with hearts ablaze. All truth to love, and wrong to hate. These are the patriota nations need. These are the bulwarks of the State. 'NEGRO ATTACK' STORY BLOWS UP WHEN N. O., GIRL CONFESSES NEW YORK, Feb. 21—A reader of the article "I Investigate Lynchings" in the January American Mercury Magazine, by Wa'ter White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, forwards from New Orleans, a newsaner clipping reporting the discrediting of a "Negro attack" story The New Orleans States of Feb. 10, tells how a young married woman had told the police a "wild story" of an attack in a vacant downtown lot, by a "big Negro." Half the police force and a number of citizens fere combing the neighborhood "with thoughts of lynching in their minds" when her father appeared, pooch-pooched the girl's story and said she had recently quarreled with her husband. The "Negro attack" flurry ended by the arrest of the woman's husband, charged by her with giving her a beating. + telephone users trying to call the number. They get needless "busy" signals. The reason is this: There are two little holes in the switchboard for M-1234 and M-1235. Incoming calls for M-1234 are placed on that line if it is not busy. If it is, the call goes in on M-1235. But the system doesn't work backward. That is, calls for M-1235 are NOT placed on M-1234 for various mechanical and service reasons. So the ultimate effect is that calls to M-1235 get the "busy" signal if the line is in use, and do NOT get the advantage of a transfer to the idle line, M-1234. In other words, it reduces the effectiveness of your telephone layout. The thing to do is to give the public only the lowest of the first of your telephone numbers. If you want them to know you have more lines, or suggestion is a phrase reading: "Two trunk lines." If you will follow this practice when printing advertising matter, experience leads us to believe that the result to you will be more satisfactory telephone service. Yours very truly, II. J. QUIGLEY, Dist. Manager. P. S. By suggesting this to your customers, we believe you can increase the effectiveness of their advertising.

Sunday afternoon, in a mass meeting, he entertained a large audience WORTHWHILE "THE QUERY" Say,—who are you, That you should boast;— Did you by puny might, Thus order God to cast the mould, That made you blak or white? I've seen the groups of all man-kind, The Red, the White, the Brown— And yet withal, each shadow cast Was black upon Tis true your nosa Is aqueline, Your skin possessed of pores; The iron which saturates my blood, Is no less iron than yours. The rain drops fall upon the earth, Your soil is fed—and mine— Our grapes now lucious, and we sip The nectar from I toil, you toil; White men and black— They hunger, and are fed,— The skin is pricked, "Lo and behold," When war's shrill battle cry is heard, All human blood is red! My son and yours, both die!— Say,—where the ".....ell," you I wonder if you are big enough To be a friend of mine? I wonder if you are kind enough To the thing that is fine? You say, "Oh yes," and yet I pause. You say, "Indeed!" but still I fear, Will you defy those who draw near, Who scoff, and utter hackneyed things Which cause old wounds, new biting stings Dear friend, if you would lend a hand As we are sharing God's own land, To help a friend who most is downed, I'd think in you, a friend I'd found. —HELEN F.

Dean Moody Bibis Institute of Chicago ) (©, 1929 Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for March 3 THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH LESSON TEXT—Eph. 122, 23, 4 4-6. 11-16. GOLDEN TEXT—So we, who are men, are one body in Christ PRIMARY TOPIC—Serving God in mms: are one body in Christ THE LARGY TOPIC—Serving God in the Church JUNIOR TOPIC—Serving God In Our Church INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Meaning of Church Membership. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Nature and Function of the Christian Church. 1. What It Is. It is the body of redeemed men and women, Jews and Gentiles, called out from the world, regenerated and united to Jesus Christ as head, and to each other by the Holy Spirit. 1. It was unknown in the Old Testament time (Liph. 356. 6). There were saved people in that time, but people occupying the peculiar position as members of Christ's body only could enjoy such relation after the crucifixion, and coming of the Holy Spirit. 2. Predicted by Christ (Matt. 16:18) Shortly before Christ's going to the cross, the church was spoken of as still in the future. 3. It began at Pentecost (Acts 2). That which Christ predicted as to the church began to be historically fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost. II. Christ is the Head of the Church (Eph. 1:22, 23). Christ is to the church what the head is to the human body. III. The Unity of the Church (Eph. 4:4-0). 1. One body (v. 4). United with Christ by faith, all believers are members of one body, of which He is the head. 2. One Splrit (v. 4). The Holy Spirit is the agent in regeneration, and is the life uniting believers to Christ and to one another 3. One hope (v. 4). The hope of completed redemption at the coming of the Lord 4. One Lord. The one ruler of the church is Christ Himself (v. 5). 5. One faith. Those who are under the control of the one Lord will more and more come into the unity of doctrinal beliefs. 6. One baptism (v. 5). This is the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is that sovereign act of the Spirit which unites believers to Jesus Christ as head and to each other as members of His body. 7. One God and Father of all. He is the Creator and sustainer of the universe. IV. The Ministry of the Church. (Eph. 4:11-10). 1. The ministry of certain officials (v. 11). Gifts were bestowed upon the church for its growth. (1) Apostles. These were appointed by Christ to superintend the preaching of the gospel in all the world, and to create an authoritative body of teaching. (2) Prophets. These ministers were given for the expounding of the Scriptures, the body of authoritative teaching (I Cor. 14:3). (3) Dangellists. These seem to have been travelling missionaries to gather in the members constituting the body of Christ. (4) Pastors and teachers. The pastor was a shepherd and teacher—two functions inherent in the one office. 2. Object of the ministry of the church (v. 12). (1) "Perfecting of the saints." Here is meant the mending of that which had been rent—the adjusting of something dislocated. (2) "For the work of the ministry" (v. 12). The perfecting of the saints has as its object their qualification to render a spiritual service. (3) Edifying of the body of Christ. Edify means to build up the church, the body of Christ. 3. The duration of the church's ministry (v. 13). This ministry to continue till: (1) We come into the unity of the faith. (2) Till we come into the knowledge of the Son of God. (3) A perfect man, which is the measure of the stature of Christ. 4. The blessed issue of the ministry of the church (vv. 1410). (1) Not tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine (2) Speaking the truth in love. Already Existent The Christian ideal, when once it is clearly apprehended, becomes already existent.-The Times (London). The Praise of Men Among the chief rulers also many believed on Illim; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Illim, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.—John 12:42, 43. When God Is Closest God is closest to earth when His dwelling place is a consecrated human heart, a dedicated human intellect.—K W. Donald. B. Y P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue Matt. 9:35-38. This passage teaches that Christ was a Teacher, Preacher, and Healer. It therefore, gives an example of a teaching, preaching and healing min istry. Our Master is concerned about the whole man, and gave Himself that the body, mind and soul might be preserved to His Glory. He has given us a Ministerial standard of both conduct and service. Again, our attention is called to value of leadership. A multitude without a head. A flock without a Shepherd, means disorganization and failure. An abundant harvest with no sufficient harvester to gather the great crops. We are commanded to pray for helpers; that is, do what we can to discover, inspire and send forth laogers in our midst. Reach out and bring into the kingdom outsiders who may become laborers, and do ourselves what we can to save the grain. THOUGHTS The New Testament Ministry was a teaching ministry. The Gospel is the remedy for all our ills. Perhaps the greatest need of the Church today is efficient leadership in all its departments. There is more 'to be done in the Church than we can find willing hands to do it. Any saved man wants to do something to save the harvest. We need both more and betters laborers in the harvest. ST. FRANCIS BAPTIST TEMPLE REV. C. P. MORROW, PASTOR Sunday School was opened by the Supt. at 9:30 a.m. After the lesson study, review by Mrs. B. A. Grissom.

The e is a criminal at large in our city, who is attacking women, and should be apprehended; not because of color or race, but because he is committing hideous crime. It would be a special relief to the Negro race to have him caught, because seemingly, he is thought of as being a Negro:—short, a little over 5 ft. thick upper lip, chocolate color with curly eye-brows. It has been a wonder to the most ignorant, how, in a battle of excitement, resistance and under threat to not hollow, could such a description be ascertained, even to the eyebrows. It would be more reasonable to call him a criminal and not a Negro criminal, because he would be just as bad if he is found out to be a white or Mexican criminal and the right thinking people would be just as anxious to catch him, because he is a criminal. We learn that some of the officers are going around to some of the humble homes, telling there will be a lynching if he is caught. Think of an officer, molding such sentiment. How could he protect the law and what good is he to a Christian citizen? Why should another crime be committee? Would that justify this one? Would that make it easier to control the citizens? Would that make the citizens trust the power of the law? We agree with the ministers of the city and we will to go the limit to catch the guilty party, and we feel safe when the right justice is given such a one. Wild expressions will not help our race, nor any race; so let us be sober, and act righteously. CITY ITEMS COMING SOON!!!

Church and one Friday evening of last week, at Grace M. E. Church. The Ladies of the Sunshine Club with Mrs. Amanda Boone, Pres, and Mrs. Uberia Thompson, Sec., are doing some splendid work.

Riveters Clatter and the Skyline Soars! Do you feel a thrill of pride in your city as you hear those chattering hammers going day and night? Of course you do! And when you step into the street and sweep with your eye each new building which rears itself into the skyline, you cannot help feeling a glow of satisfaction. It is as if you said, "Well done!" and patted your city on the back. And well may you feel that way. Vaulting skylines are the surest indication of a city's growth and power. Have you thought of the vital part played by electricity in the building growth of Kansas? Those clattering hammers now—how are they driven? Electricity is the tireless workman who keeps them going all day long and sometimes the whole night through. And the elevators you see shooting up with their loads of cement, mortar or brick—most of them are electric-driven. The cranes which lift the huge girders are powered with electricity. During the dark hours, electricity provides the floodlighting which enables the night shifts to work without halt. Kansas KansasGasandE "At Your Kansas Gas and Electric Company "At Your Service" N.

Kansas erected more than $20,000,000 worth of buildings last year. In that mammoth construction program, not only did electricity provide much of the power in the actual building operations, but it was electricity which assisted in the production of many of the materials. Brick and tile are made in factories which are heavily electrified. Electricity powers many of the sand and gravel pit operations. Stone is quarried and shaped largely by electric power. Electric light and power are playing a steadily increasingly important part in our lives. In this connection it is gratifying to remember that electricity, almost alone among the necessities of life, not only has not increased in price since the pre-war days, but has actually decreased, while at the same time the efficiency of its service has been many times enhanced. Next time you survey a big building under construction, remember that electricity is saving time, money and energy there. electricCompany Service" We have about one hundred other choice building sites for sale at a very popular price.
