FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 13, ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` C T C EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY A SUCCESS C T C EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY A SUCCESS Probatly, Dorothy Sims was the busiest woman in Wichita, last month. She worked up and rendered six programs last week; one of which was broadcast over KFII, Sunday morning at 9:30. It is hard to say which department of the Conservatory was best. The Children's program drew the largest audience. Each night held an appreciative audience no matter how large or small. No little amount of interest and energy was expended to put over THE HUMAN TOUCH Tis the human touch in this world that counts, The shake of your hand with mine Which means for more to the aching heart is o'er And bread only last a day Lut the shake of your hand And the sound of your voice Rings on in the soul always. Y. M. C. A. NOTES 347 Madison Ave. New York, Rocky Mountain Field, June 24th, My dear "Hutch" Surely you know by this time how much we appreciate the contribution which you made to our Estes Student Conference. However, I want you to know in this official way that we are deeply grateful to you for assuming the leadership of our interracial emphasis. We were especially proud of the fine delegation of Negro students. That alone was worth every effort that it took, and then somehow we felt that under your leadership and with the participation of the Negro students in the life of the Conference, we made real progress in this field. We feel that the credit belongs to you and in this very inadequate way we want to express our appreciation. With every good wish, The Second Inter-Church Boys' Camp is row in session at Camp THE THE WAY OF LIFE $5_10_15 ETC. ETC. STARTS ME SAVING FOR A RAINY DAY. A PENNY SAVED IS DOLLAR EARNED.

Fines presented Ruth Taylor, her annual scholarship of $25.00 for the best report over the scholastic year from Sept. thru June. The requirements are:—No abs. nees, no red stars, no tardiness, courtesy to teacher and diligent work. Mrs. Fines is to be commended for her altruistic spirit. She is a genuine booster for young people who are trying to do. The C. T. C. appreciates her interest immensely. Miss Sims will be teaching in Topeka, for ten days and will resume her Wichita Summer classes, July 11th, giving a prize to the one having the best lesson on her return. The next big event will be the Music Students picnic, August 19th, at Baynesville, Kansas. Hyde, July 1-6. It is unfortunate that we do not realize and fully-appreciate the fact that few groups of Negro boys in America have access to any camp at all. Then the co-operative emphasis is another feature worthy of note. The different churches could not finance a camp for their own boys, even if they had the site. But thro' the "Y" they can co-operate and promote a joint camp. Cherryvale Newsies BETHLEHEM BAPIST CHURCH REV, WM, COOFER, PASTOR RUTH WHEATO'. Reporter. S. S., 9:50 opening by Supt.

DEAR FRIENDS: Within the four months that have passed since my letter to you, events of a highly important nature have transpired within the political, interracial, social and religious life of South Africa. Such events are not necessarily new; they are the century old results of contacts between groups of people unequally equipped for the battle of life; they represent the inevitable outcome of what were, in part, the wrong and mistaken methods of Western colonial policy since the expansion of Europe began; they bring actively to the front those men, characteristic of most ages, who are not afraid to think, even in terms of larger human welfare; and finally, these events show to South Africa and to the world the nature of the task with which time, truth, human ingenuity and spiritual forces have to deal in this land. POLITICAL The chief political event within the period I write about undoubtedly the Parliamentary action on the so-called "Native Bills." Of these three pieces of proposed legislation, The Natives, Representation in Parliament Bill, the first named was the most bitterly fought in Parliament as well as out. Inasmuch as the other two measures were bracketed with it and depended upon it for their enactment or rejection, it will suffice to discuss briefly this particular Bill. The Natives Representation in Parliament Bill aimed at accomplishing two things: (1) to introduce a communal type of franchise for Africans living in the Orange Free State, the Transvaal and Natal whereby they would elect two white men to represent them in the Senate; (2) to take away the existing franchise rights from Africans in the Cape Province, where they now vote on the same basis as white men, and to substitute in their place a type of communal franchise whereby Africans would vote from a separate register and poll for three white men who would hold seats in the Senate. The constitution of South Africa requires that any change affecting the rights of Africans to vote shall require a two-thirds majority of both Houses in joint session. The Government called a joint session in February, introduced its Bills and made for a full debate upon them. The pary in opposition led by General Smuts opposed solidly each of these Bills, and as a result the Government failed to get the necessary majority, the actual voting being 42 votes short of the 117 required. This proposed legislation was almost unanimously opposed by all sections of African thought as well as by a strong and what appears to be liberal section of Europeans. Africans appreciate the result but there is still great concern, for the elections which are to take place shortly are being very largely fought on "The Native Question." INTERRAIAL Few, if any conferences have been of such significance as was the Bantu-European Conference which met at Cape Town in February of this year. While this gathering did not evade the political issue, indeed it committed itself as opposed to any backward step in regard to franchise and other political rights for Africans, it gave chief emphasis to three major needs in African life! (1) health, (2) the ability to control environment by means of improved agriculture and industrial organization; (3) the strengthening of the family life which is fast disintegrating under the stress of modern developments of South Africa speaks of this gathering as the "better way," whereby at the much stricter bar of its own good conscience and the harvested wisdom of the world, it seeks to furnish Africans with opportunities for developing their proper cultural heritage and of con- (Continued next week) Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P. B. FISCHWATER, D.D. Deen, 1892, 1895, Western Newport Union.) (© 1895, Western Newport Union.) Lesson for July 7 THE STORY OF EZEKIEL LESSON TEXT—Eskiel 2 4:11 24 18-18. GOLDEN TEXT—As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live PRIMARY TOPIC—Eskiel, a Messenger of God. JUNIOR TOPIC—Eskiel, a Messenger of God. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Frankness in Friendship. TOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—A Prophet-Fastor. Ezekiel prophesied in the land of the captivity. The purpose of his ministry was threefold. (1) To keep before the house of Israel that they were in captivity because of their sins (14:23). (2) To show that God is righteous in His visitation of judgment upon them (7:8,9). (3) To sustain their faith by assuring them of their national restoration, the punishment of their enemies, and their final exaltation among the nations when Messiah should reign (34:11-31). 1. Ezekiel's Call 2:1, 2). 1. Command to stand up (v. 1). He was given a vision of the Almighty God on His throne of glory (ch.1). The purpose of this vision was to give a synthetic grasp of the execution of the divine will through the powers and forces which God had created. Before this vision the prophet fell prostrate upon his face. When one sees the diversity and complexity of the agencies employed, including the animate and inanimate creation intelligently moving forward, under the direction of the Almighty, he will be ready to face any task regardless of its difficulty. 2. Filled with the Spirit (v.2). By the Spirit the divine energy entered him and enabled him to execute his commission. 11. Ezekiel's Commission (vv. 38). 1. The moral condition of the people (vv. 3, 4). (1) A rebellious nation (v. 3). This perhaps referred to their idolatrous practices. (2) Impudent children (v. 4). Impudent means literally "hard of face." It means the grouseest perversity which caused them to stand up in the presence of the prophets of God without a sense of guilt. 2. The charge (v. 4). He was to deliver God's message. It was to be, "Thus saith the Lord God." 3. The difficulty of his task (vv. 5-8). The prophet was to deliver the message of God whether they would hear or forbear. He was to fearlessly execute his commission, though the attitude of the people be as "briars, thorns and scorpions." A faithful minister's life and testimony will run counter to the world. (II Tim. 3:12). III. Ezekiel's Experimental Qualifications (2:9-3:10). Before one can preach to others he must have a personal experience. 1. Eating the book (2:9-3:10). This book contained God's wives upon the stiff necked and rebellious people. In order to speak God's threatenings effectively to others we must inwardly digest and appropriate them ourselves. The result of this eating was that Ezekiel was made "hard of face and forehead" to go against the people who were "hard of face and forehead." 2. Urged on by the Spirit (3:10-14). In order to strengthen Ezekiel for his task, the wonderful symbolism of God's providential agencies which had been before him in chapter one was brought to his attention, assuring him that God would accompany him to his new destination 3. Entering into sympathy. (v. 15) In order to minister to a people one must show that the message is from the depth of the heart. Ezekiel mingled his tears with theils. IV. Ezekiel's Grave Responsibility (3:17-21). Two things were required of him as a watchman over the flock. 1. To hear the Word at God's mouth (v. 17). The source of his message was God's Word. This is true today. 2. To sound the warning, v. 117. After he had heard God's message he was to speak it out; then his re sponsibility was discharged V. Ezekiel's Courage (24:15-18). He was to be taught by a sorrowful experience. He was to turn his face from even natural desire. At the death of his wife he was forbidden to mourn. By this means God sought to impress upon Israel the seriousness of the situation. The Sick Need the Physician And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they sat unto his disciples. Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them. They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matthew 10 to 13. 1 Subject: "What Made Our Nation What It Is?" Text: Deut. 8:1-14, 17, 18. A nation is not born in a day. Many factors have entered into the making of our nation what it is. I. A desire for religious liberty. II. A vision of the land of Oppor- III. Courage to possess the land of religious freedom. IV. The condition of the land of promise, that is, its natural resources and geographical location favored such a civilization as we have today. Our lesson, shows that possessions and long life are the fruits of obedience. Difficulties are whet-stones upon which we are made sharp instruments for the Master's use. Associated with God's command to o forward, we have the promise, "Lo I am with ou." THOUGHTS God often leads His children thro' the fire but never leaves them to be consumed. "Blessed is that nation whose God is the Lord." It is easier to be humble when we are hungry than when we are full. When God has satisfied our physical hunger with bread; remember, that the soul is also hungering for the bread of life. The wealth you have is a trust from God. OTTAWA IDEAS The Bethany Baptist S.

HALF BILLION DOLLAR WASTE President Hoover, when he was Secretary of Commerce, stated that the smoke nuisance costs every citizen from $8 to $20 a year. Herbert M. Wilson, former chief engineer of the U. S. Geological Survey, estimates the Nation's annual smoke bill as totaling $500,000,000.
