Came to Doddsville, in Sunflower County in 1913; was given tour School and Agriculture purposes, 80 acres of land on which I founded this school in 1916. As the Delta is the greatest cotton section in the U. S., over 75% are Negroes and I am qualified to speak his needs. In furtherance of my candacy, I quote the following from O. M.

M. C. A. 'HORIZON' As one looks out upon God's great ussurey, he sees the Circle where seemingly the earth and sky meet, as he goes into God's great open space a broad horizon is brought before his vision. In other words, his vision is enlarged. He has gotten closer to God and nature; This is a fact of the physical world. In the spiritual, social, and mental world the same fact is true. We erect the limits four visions according to use we make of the opportunity for contacts and inspiration. If we want our spiritual vision enlarged we must open our hearts, and discernment to things of the Spirit. If we want our social vision enlarged we must get away from ourselves at times and get and appreciates the other follows reaction to situations and things. If we want our vision enlarged, we must open our minds to scientific facts. What better way might one broaden his horizon than by contact outside of immediate surroundings. What better way might one broaden his horizon than by the inspiration he might receive from some one outside of his immediate surroundings. The Water Street—Young Men's Christian Association is trying to induce some of its young men in the different clubs, to attend the student conference at Estes Park, Colorado, in June. What mother or father or uncle or guardiap would not sacrifice a few dollars that their boy receive the inspiration, instruction fellowship and recreation that is available to him at Estes or any other association student conference? What are a few dollars compared with the heartache that a boy might cause his parents if he is derived of Insulation instruction, fellowship and recreation that mold his attitude, purpose, and outlook on life? What are a few dollars compared with those influences that keep his life from being warred? Father and Mother Help the charm Father and Mother! Help, the chap, to hobble his horion. G. B.

This is my 53rd year in the min's try, I began in the work in the year of 1876 in Columbus, Mississippi, lost my sight, and am now blind. I have not been able to read a line in five years. I am now in this hospital, having been here seven weeks. My eyes are being treated for cataracts. This is the finest hospital in the world. Dr. Curran is the doctor who is taking care of my eyes. He can remove a cataract from the eye without any pain or suffering. The nurses here are trained and up to date in every way. No one can be treated better anywhere, than here. They are prepared to take care of the ack and the loar. Quite a few of the brethren of the State of Kansas have been helping me, but a great number have done nothing, so far. But I am praying for you that you may come, by sending aid. Matthew said—(Matt, 25.34) "Th shall the King say unto him on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Read through Matt, 25.34 and 46 verses. I think I will be dismissed from the hospital in a few days; after which time I will publish the names of the brethren and churches in the State, who have helped me, with the amounts given by each.

Russell Brown made RIGHT WILL PREVAIL We are glad to know that Wichita has among its judges in the courts, some of the fairest minded people that ever presided at the bar of justice. Just an instance which called our attention to the facts occurred last week when one of our prominent race doctors filed suit against one of his patron who was always forgetting to remit. After the account had run for over a year the doctor, thru his attorney, A. P. Woodard, garnisheed his pay-roll, which angered the patron 'muchly,' he informed the doctor that he intended to fight the case and assured him that he would win and the doctor would lose his case and have to pay cost, for he had a white attorney. When the case was heard the patron lost his case and the doctor was given a judgment against him for $68. After the decision' was rendered, the attorney for the patron used discourteous language toward his honor—the court, and he also was fined $10.00 for contempt of court. The next time I suspect the patron will pay his honest, debt without going to court. Kans, Vocational School The Sunflower Association met in the principal's office Thursday afternoon.

Our Missionaries have been effec- tive leaders by having real love for men, @ message to men and & pas- sion to bless men. An effective leader keeps before his followers a worthy goal and la- bors unselfishly to realize His objec tive. He loses himeelf in the inter- est of the end to be obtalsed. Jesus is the highest expon.nt of leadership, Some of His outstand- ing characteristics were: complete seif-denial, sbsolute surrender of himself for the good of his followers and supreme love for those whom He had chosen. Wherever He wert it could be truly sald, “The peopie which sat in darkness saw a great light, and to them which sat in the tegios of death, light is sprung up.” In our text we have the call of Jesus and the answer of the disci- ples. It was the period of Christ's opularity, He went about teaching, hesling and preaching. The true Missionary !s interested in the whole man and contributes to Ilis secs, THOUGHTS Christ catla buay folk, Me de mands an immediate answer, We may lose for Jesus, but we cannot loxe by Him.

YOU cannot legislate people and make them better, but you can make the environments better. President Hoover has just appointed "A Crime Commission" of 11 experts to study conditions throughout the United States and especially the Prohibition Question. This would be no ruzzle, if the hearts of the officers rang true. We see but one way to stop crime, i. o., make every person found connected, guilty, viz; the maker, the seller, the possessor and the drinker. The law should ring so true to right and righteousness until the transgressor would know that he will be punished. WE have spent about two weeks on Cleveland Avenue, writing subscriptions and checking up the mailing list; we have added about 50 new subscribers. We have found some of the best hearts, to be found anywhere; we have found some of the best kept homes with the best of furniture. We found them painting their houses, planting and cutting their lawns and trimming their hedges. Really, our people are making homes pretty and happy. We've worked from Piatt to Cleveland and are proud of our people and the way they are buying homes and Improving them. IT is with regret that we announce the home going of Dr. A. F. I. De Walt, Surgeon Dentist in Monrovia, Liberna, W. Africa, who had not been on the Foreign Field a year, but was taken by Black-water fever, a few weeks ago. He was born in Liberia, but too his higher training in America; then returned to fill a position in the Baptist Hospital. A useful young man now rests from his labor to wait his reward. May we quote this verse from the Mission Herald? "We shall sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn, We shall meet to part, no, never, On the resurrection morn." ON the first page, first column of this paper this week appears a picture and short sketch of some of the life and very good work done, and is now being done by this good man, Prof. W. F. Redden at Doddsville, Miss. a place where this school is very much needed. The school and work done there stand as a monument for itself, telling the story of a man who has really worked unceasingly. A man who has done this much under the circumstances, could do more if a chance presented itself. We are asking the public to study this sketch. Investigate the work done at Doddsville, and be ready to give him your moral support when called upon. Keep the name and face in your mind—more will be said later. THE Commencement exercises at K. V. S. this year promises to be the best in the history of the school. Already great preparations are being made for a great entertainment for all who may attend. This school is doing much toward the advancement of our people in these parts. CITY ITEMS CITY ITEMS Mrs. Sabie Williams, 616 N.

If the recent high water which hit heavily at Herrington, Rev, and Mrs. P. T. Keele, (parents of Mrs. Katie Wilcox here) lost almost everything but their lives. As bad as it seems, there is still much for which to be thankful in this disaster. Mr. W. B. Lloyd, the Real Estate dealer was in to see us Monday. He has some worthwhile property, any one coming to town, or wanting to buy, see him—It is better boy to buy than rent, as will be seen when he shows you what he has for sale. Mrs. Helen Duke was a business caller of the week. Mr. Euanks and son, were in the office, during the week. He is a painter and painter-hanger. Look him up. Mrs. A. J. Norris who has been visiting her mother-in-law, returned to St. Louis. Dr. J. E. East, Secretary of the Foreign Mien Board, was in the city this week, and spoke at Calvary at 11 o'clock last Sunday.

THE CALL IS NOW THE CALL IS NOW To the General Baptist Brotherhood of the Western States Baptist Convention, U. S. A.; DEAR BRETHREN:— We have recently returned from the 26th annual session of our great convention held in Topeka, Kansas. In our great session there, we decided definitely the imperative need of this convention in this Western territory and we set a definite goal. First, to reach every Baptist in the territory prior to our next annual session which shall be in St. Louis, Mo., Second, to conduct a campaign primarily to get our convention properly and accurately before our brotherhood of the Western States as to their necessity of its continued operation; to set a definite financial goal to aid the educational and evangelistic program as promoted by the Western College and the Central Theological Seminary; to encourage trained leadership and to inspire young men by allowing them to share in the office holding of the convention. To this end, The Negro Star, of Wichita, Kansas has been adopted as one of the official organs of our conventions to carry the news of the convention. To this end, your humble servant was elected as Corresponding Secretary to stir our brotherhood thru the Western territory to a greater appreciation of their great opportunity to do evangelistic and Christian, educational work throut this Western territory. The facts that we have in the West, two great Christian institutions of our own design, the Western College and Central Theological Seminary, we have a tangible goal worthy of the support of our denomination throut the West, and at the same time retain our loyal allegiance to our National Baptist Convention. Brethren, this is our task, Let us rally. Yours for a greater Western Baptist Convention. J. W. Coleman, Cor. Sec'y, Office Pilgrim Baptist Church 3301 Indiana Ave., Chicago Ill. Rev. J. C.

Bringing THE SUN IS RISING Bringing You the Voice of the World RADIO is the most amazing of modern miracles. Would you have thought, even so recently as ten years ago, that thousands of homes in Kansas would now be equipped so that families might sit at ease in their own living rooms and listen to the stars of the world on stage, in concert and opera, or twist a dial and hear a president inaugurated, or an explorer from the ice-hemed polar regions tell of his adventures? Electricity, more than any other factor, has made possible the universal enjoyment of the radio. Not until the invention of sets which plug directly into the electric Kansas Gas and E "At You Kansas Gas and Electric Company "At Your Service" The afternoon session was spent in a complimentary trip by Pres.
