ATLANTA, GA., April 19—Negroes in twenty-six North Carolina counties have united their efforts to improve social and educational conditions and are paying in whole or in part the salaries of twenty-one social workers, according to Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, Director of the Division of Negro Work of the N. C., State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, who delivered a series of three lectures on rural community work at the Atlanta School of Social Work. During the last two years colored people have raised for this purpose more than $25,000 to supplement funds appropriated by the counties. This has developed a new attitude on the part of white people and has resulted in fine interracial co-operation. "Representatives of both races meet together to discuss the problems of the colored people and plan for their solution," said Mr. Oxley. "It marks a new departure for colored people to send a delegation leaders to the county督intendent of public welfare to ask what the colored can do to assist him—a marked change from the days when Negroes went to the court house only when summoned as prisoners or witnesses. In one county they raised $1600 and sent a delegation to present it to the county board, with the request that it be used for the good of the county. The impression made in all of these counties is that the Negroes are no longer content to remain neglected and outside the benefits of the community, but that they are willing to shoulder their responsibility for community development. In consequence, the relationships between the races have been markedly improved." Mr. Oxley made it clear that the colored group cannot know what it can get till it makes its needs known to the proper authorities. Among many such gains in North Carolina, he said, have been the organization of Boy Scouts. Campfire Girls and American Legion posts, adjusted compensation policies, free transportation to aid veterans, mother's aid pensions and the like. The state conducts numerous clinics and colored children are admitted to all of them, while the provisions for colored children at the county homes are the same as those for the whites.

P R FIEWATER D D. Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago ) (CA 1989 Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for April 21 COMFORT FOR GOD'S PEOPLE LESSON TEXT-Iratah 10:11. GOLDEN TEXT-As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you PRIMARY TOPIC—God's Love for Us. JUNIOR TOPIC—God's Love for Us INTERMEDIATE AND HIGHER TOPIC The Secret of True Happiness YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Source of True Comfort. 1. God's Message of Comfort (vv. 1, 2). 1. It was addressed to Isaiah and his successor in office (v. 1). He, as God's spokesman, was to make known the very heart of God to the people who were in great need of comfort. They were in a strange land, in captivity because of their sins. In spite of their apostasy from God—the breaking of their covenant with Him—His favor was about to return. 2. The mutual relation of God and His people (v. 1). This is expressed in the phrases "my people" and "your God." The believer belongs to God, and God belongs to him. How blessed it is to be thus related to Him. Observe, this was said concerning a people who had slumed and backslidden. 3. Pardon received (v. 2). In spite of their gross iniquity, their pardon was declared. The receiving of double at the Lord's hands does not mean that there had been undue infliction of punishment, but that the divine pardon exceeded the guilt. The period of the entitley was at an end. Their blessing was not through their own merit, but was to be realized through the sin offering of Jehovah II. The Preparation Required (v. 3.5). In order to secure the salvation which was to be theirs through the vicarious offering of Jehovah, it was necessary that certain preparation should be made. Observe: 1. The voice in the wilderness (v.3). This voice was that of John the Baptist, and actually was heard at the time of the coming of Jesus Christ (Matt. 3:1-3). 2. Prepare ye the way of the Lord. (v.3). It was the custom on state occasions for some one to go in advance of the king or ruler and make preparation for his coming. This preparation consisted of the actual depression of hills, the elevation of valleys and the straightening of crooked places, so that the monarch could move forward with ease and facility. In its moral hearing, the meaning is that preparation for the coming of the Lord into the hearts and lives of the people consists of the subjugation of pride and selfish ambition, and the straightening of the crooked and perverse things of this life. 3. The glory of the Lord revealed (v.5). When there is proper preparation of heart, the Lord will enter, and this glory will be revealed in the life. It primarily refers to the manifestation of the divine glory in the person of the Messiah. Ill. The Frailty of Man in Contrast With God's Word (iv. GS). "All flesh is grass and all the good liness thereof is as the flower of the field. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, because the Spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it. Surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but the word of our God shall stand forever." Just as the blast of the hot wind scorches the grass and destroys the crops, so everything loved and prized by the natural man will wither and die under the blast of God's judgment, but His Word shall stand forever. The Word of God abides from age to age with perennial freshness. God's promise of still male triumph should steady us as because no matter through what stress and strain we may be called to pass, when the Lord comes there will be victory. IV. The Lord God Coming to Zion (iv. D-11). 1. Behold Your God. (v. 3) When He comes to Zion there will be no need of fear. This blessed truth can be proclaimed aloud to the cities of Judah. 2. The Lord God will come with a strong hand. (v. 10). The hope of the world is in the coming of Jesus Christ in power and great glory to establish His blessed rule over the earth. Righteousness and peace can come only with the Messianic rule. 3. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd. (v. 11). The Good Shepherd will search out and provide for His own. We shall be made truly wise if we be made content; content, too, not only with what we understand, but content with what we do not understand—the habit of mind which theologians call, and rightly, faith in God.—Charles Kingsley. That We May Read Aright God sometimes washes the eyes of his children with tears in order that they may read alight his providences and his commandments.—T. L. Curler. Alwaya Content B. Y P. U. LESSON "THE WONDER OF THE BIBLE" Isa. 55:8-13; Matt. 5:17-19; H. Peter 1:19-21. Perhaps the Bible should be called "The First Wonder of the World." The wonder of its origin, the wonder of its message, the wonder of its continuity and the wonder of its influence. Its origin is Divine, its message is inspired, its continuity is convincing and its influence is unchanged. It has a message for all times, climes, and circumstances and its spirit is truly the mind of God. To truly know the wonders of the world, we must travel through them with a guide. So if we would know the wonder of the Bible, we must travel through it with the Holy Ghost as our guide. He will take charge of the things of God and show them to us. The thoughts and ways of God are so far above our thoughts and ways we cannot reach them without His help. The wonder of the Bible is its message never fails. It gives life, light, peace, freedom and joy. Where ever the word goes, it gives a new order of things. The Old and New Testaments are simply God speaking in different ages, but the same spirit pervades both. No words of God will fall, but are made full in Christ. QUESTONS What is the greatest wonder of the Bible to you, its Origin, its Message, its Continuity or its Influence ? Which is the greatest wonder, the Matter or the Manner? Does the wonder of the Bible arrest your interest and deepen your reverence? If you had no Bible, what book would you put in its place? Independence Notes MAPLE STREET BAPT. CHURCH REV. CHAS. FEAL.

Teachers, missionaries, evangelist, social workers, Bible experts, directors of religious study course can take part in its de liberations and profit by its deliberations and profit by its exercises. Every grade of Christian worker should attend it and reap the benefits derived therefrom. CONGRESS FACULTY The Congress Faculty is composed of persons, who, in addition to a liberal education, have made special preparation for the work assigned them. This liberal culture has been supplemented with years of experience as leaders and teachers among the people. Every member of the faculty is on expert in his line of work. It is worth the money invested to hear the lectures given by any one of the members of this faculty. DEPARTMENTAL WORK DEPARTMENTAL WORK One of the most helpful features of the Congress work is that which is done in the daily departmental meetings. Two periods each day are devoted to the work of the departments. The two periods are from 8 to 10 o'clock'a. m., 2 to 4 o'clock p. m. Departmental demonstrations will be made three times each day at the close of the morning and afternoon sessions and the beginning of the evening sessions. ILLUSTRATIVE WORK The Congress is supplied by the Program Committee with maps, charts, blackboards, banners, mottoes and such things as are necessary to aid the teachers in making plain the lessons which they teach, and enabling the messengers to get these illustrations in concise shape for future reference. INSPIRATIONAL FEATURES Inspirational addresses will be delivered at each session of the Congress by some of the most competent teachers in the denomination. The singing will be both devotional and inspirational. Under competent musical director and a well-trained Congress Chorus, the messengers will be taught effectively the art of developing congregational singing, and of making the musical department of the church and its auxiliaries one of the most attractive and profitable in the church worship. Song leaders, chorus directors, etc., should attend the Congress in large numbers in order to get the benefit of this illustrative singing process ANNUAL SINGING CONTEST There will be a SINGING CONTEST on Saturday night in which choirs, choruses, Glee Clubs and other singing groups will compete for the PRIZE BANNER. Each contestant will be required to render one Gospel Song, one Jubilee Song, and one Anthem. Competent judges will preside and award the prize in the usual way. BOARDING AND LODGING Messengers will be furnished board (two meals per day) and lodging for TWO ($200) Dollar per day. Assignments will be made by the LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE. All messengers are urged to send their names to the chairman of this committee in accordance with such requests as he may make thru the various papers. REPRESENTING BY LETTER We desire to have every organization send a messenger in person, but if it cannot represent by messenger, it may be represented by letter. Send the letter and money order on or before June 18,1929. RAILROAD RATES Application has been made for reduced rates, which will be published when granted in the NATIONAL BAPSTIST VOICE and other denominational papers. It is highly probable that messengers to Congress will be permitted to buy round trip tickets from their local stations. Accurate information with regard to this matter will be published in the papers. ELECT MESSENGERS EARLY It is advisable that messengers to the Congress be elected at the earliest possible moment, so that there may be sufficient time in which to raise the money to pay their expenses. As soon as they are elected, send their names to this office. For further information address the CONGRESS HEADQUARTERS, 409 GAY STREET, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. W. H. JERNAGIN, President, II. T. SIMS, Secretary, OPEN LETTER MARCH 4, 1929. To Pastors, Churches and Auxiliaries of the Baptist State Convention of Kansas, GREETINGS: DEAR CO-WORKERS:— At the January Board meeting of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Kansas, I was elected Executive Secretary and Superintendent of Missions of the State. A position, not of merit, but of great responsibility and one of opportunity to serve the Baptist of the State. A position that calls for the confidence and support of the pastors and churches of our Convention. I am anxious to start right and hope that I am making no mistake in undertaking the task so dear to the Heart of God. My faith in God and my confidence in the Baptists of Kansas, cause me to consider the position; for I verily believe that the pastors and churches with their auxiliaries will do their duty by the Missionary and Educational work of the State when they know the need. Since the State Convention at Leavenworth, in October, our churches have not been informed of the financial obligations of our Missionary and Educational Program; hence, we are many months behind in our work. We are in need of money to aid our Missionary Pastors, who have been laboring in small fields and in rural places during these very hard winter months. We need money to pay the Dean of our Central Theological Seminary, Dr. E. L. Scruggs, who is doing a great work, training young preachers for efficient service as pastors. We are greatly in need of money to pay our loan obligations I am asking therefore, each church and auxiliary of the Baptist Convention to send an offering to the office of the Executive Secretary, to meet these pressing needs. I hope all who read these lines will appreciate the importance of acting now and help finance this work as in the past. If you have been sending your offering monthly or quarterly, start again—NOW, and make up your lost time. If you have not been sending an offering, will you begin? Our duty is clear; can we love, sight of self, for the larger interest of Kingdom Work? Let us thank the Lord for the past and resolve to do better in the future. May we depend upon you? Yours in the Master's Cause. co Sees SEE eee os 2 oF E 5 nS ae SIS Sse a = Ba See
