Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22 No. 22, The Southeastern District of Kansas Missionary Baptist Association that closed its 44th annual session in Independence, July 22nd to 26th, was indeed a wonderful meeting, one of the best in the history of its organization; it was marked for harmony and progress. The ministers and deacons union presided over by the Rev. J. S. King, began its meeting on Tuesday Morning, the 22nd; then came the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission with Sister Mary Dial as president. Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, 23rd and 24th; Association proper, convened Thursday and Friday, 25th and 26th. Of the 22 churches on roll, comprising the district, 21 of them were represented in the meeting. The sermons preached were inspiring. The topics discussed were uplifting. The reports of all committees were full and to the point. The financial success of the meeting was good $461.55 being report'd by the finance committee. The Moderator's annual address was a masterly document, touching every phase of the work in the district. Of the 21 churches representing, 14 of them had been visited by him. So it can be readily seen that he was in touch with the work. He was unanimously elected for the 10th successive time as Moderator. One new church was added to the District: New Hope Baptist, Church, Havana, Kansas. Following is the Moderator's Annual Address: MODERATOR'S ANNUAL ADDRESS. REV. JOHN TRAVIS ELIAS, D. D. Moderator of Southeastern District Association, Pittsburg, Kansas. The Eighth Annual Address, delivered at Independence, Kansas, July 26, 1929. "Belloved Fellow Laborers in the Service of Jesus Christ, the Lord:" Through the loving kindness and tender mercies of our Heavenly Father and Him only, are we spared and permitted to greet each other in the 44th Annual session. Some have folded their tents and stacked their arms, during the passing of this associational year and are waiting our coming; others have become incapacitated for regular service, which we regret so much. But God, the Just, knows what is best for us, so let us rejoice instead of weeping and work with our Partner, God, "while it is day" for the night will soon come when we too, must fold our tents and stack our arms and pass to the Great Beyond. The program of Christ in the local church is lagging (1) Because the individual member is not doing his duty in the church; (2) There is a woeful lack of co-operation on the part of the members of the church with each other and the pastor, (the cause is the lack of love for God and each other) (3) In some of the churches Christ's program is being disregarded; (4) The cause of lagging is the lack of love for God, the things of God and being lost in selfishness and self love. Truly the indictment brought by Jesus against the church of Ephesus in Rev. 2:4, is applicable to the individual and the church of today, Brethren and sisters, we face an individual indictment today and have been tried and stand convicted as an individual and as a church, and the only way to escape the penalty is to "repeat and do the first works." Rev. 2:5. To us watchmen (the pastors) let us preach a whole Gospel and stand firm for God's Church Program as outlined by Jesus Christ and taught by the Apostles. UNLEARNED LESSONS I wish to call your attention again to a few outstanding facts, (1) The uniting of railroads, of banks Trust Companies and all Cigantic corporations of the United States of Amer- (Continued on page three) EVERY WAGE A CAPITALIST The best guarantee for continued prosperity that we have is that millions of our citizens, in all walks of life, are buying securities in our great industries. This is real public ownership, built on sound economic principles. It makes for better and more stable business and government. It is a major factor in advancing the financial and social status of the average person. The modern stock exchange with its new standards of efficiency and integrity, has played an invaluable part in this movement. By its scientific examination of the stocks it lists, it has discouraged fraudulent or unsound issues. By audits made of member brokerage houses, it has fought the dishonest manipulator. The person who buys an interest in a great business, and receives dividends therefrom, is a part of the greatest social and economic revolution in world history—a revolution which is making every wage-earner a "capitalist." El Dorado News Notes. Mrs. Nora Miller gave a dinner Sunday in honor of her two sisters, Mrs. Lee Turner and Mrs. Edd. Turner and children, who left on the Sunflower for Tulsa, Okla., their new home. Messrs Lee and Edd. Turner have established a restaurant at 507 East Archer Street and they kindly are asking the patronage of the general public. Courtesy and a fair deal is our motto.

Favors preached a real spiritual sermon Sunday morning at 1st Baptist to his people and all enjoyed being present. Rev. Favors preached at Hosea Chapel for Rev. Tyler Sunday at 3:00 o'clock. The圣士s worshiped with the A. M. E. Church, last Sunday at 3:20 p. m. Mrs Armstrong spoke for Rev. D. C. Miller. Sunday evening, the students rendered a program at the A. M. E. Church. Many good things were said, and good papers read, which, seemingly all enjoyed. Mr. Samuel York spoke on The Negro in College, and brought out many good points. Mr. Robert Chambers' subject was, Negro Parent and Child, This was good subject and was WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 6, 1929 THE DEATH OF SOCIALISM-? "Fifteen or twenty years ago it (socialism) was making immense progress in the United States," said H. J. Menck a, in his "Prejudices: Sixth Series." "All the young college professors, in those days, were Socialists, as they are now eugenists and birth controllers. It swept and enchanted the tender-minded. Fat women wept over it, as they now weep over the Armenians. But one day it colloded slambang with the harsh and horrible facts. One day it was put to the test in Russia, and promptly blew up. Even the tender-minded could not dodge the appalling proofs. So they fled this direction and that. Some took to spiritualism, dame to chiropractic, come to Genesis. Some * * * to hibition, the Single Tax, fasting, and the electronic vibrations * * * But not one, so far as I can make out, took to sense." Some time has passed by since Mr. Mencken wrote his vivid sentences. Socialism has blown up time and again but its adherents, "tenderminded" as ever, are always with us. The great body of the American people, however, seem to have become convinced of the absurdity of Socialism and all the other panaceas that would abolish individual rights for a dubious bureaucratic Utopia. Kans. Vocational School Prof. Clement Richardson and family returned Saturday night from their Eastern motor trip, visiting many of the large cities in the east. Under direction of Mr. G. T. Bryant and Coach, Frank Douglass, a force of boys are rapidly pushing forward with the work on the athletic field. At the entrance of the field on the South road, a very impressive gateway has been designed by Mr. Bryant. The entrance consists of four immense brick and stone pillars. The two largest in the middle are decked with flag-poles. One is to serve as a ticket booth and the other as a storeroom. Around the field, a six foot fence is being built. Coach Douglass has spent much time leveling up the field and building a quarter mile track around it. The track will have a rock bed of nine inches in depth and a surface of six inches. When the work is completed, K. V. S., will have one of the most impressive athletic h... this section. Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Bryant left Monday, for their home in St. Louis, after several weeks' visit at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Richardson. Several new teachers have already arrived and other members of the faculty are expected soon for the first faculty meeting which will be held Tuesday morning, September 3. K. V. S., is being frequented with visitors, as a result of people coming to put their children in school, which opens September 9. true and helpful things were said. The Future of the Negro was well discussed by Mr. Warren Jones. We feel very proud of these young men, as their talks put all who heard them to thinking; and believe some day, they will be able to be numbered among the great men of the race. Mr. Jones is a young man, of whom we are all very proud; he is making his way through medical college without help and is doing fine, and the best of all, he never forgets his widowed mother. We are also proud of our girls: Miss Sydna Brown who is in school in Emporia, for teachers' training, gave a reading, "Leonanie, which was very beautifully rendered. Miss Helen York gave a musical reading. "Keep a Smiling, accompanied by Sydna Brown; she also expects to enter school at Emporia for a teachers' course. The teachers, Miss Dorothea Frey and Miss Eleanor Davis have made their appearance for school work. We are honing they will find it very pleasant with parents and children co-operating. Let the parents take active parts in this school year for THE NATIONAL NEGRO MUSICIANS CONVENTION TORI' WORTH, JEXAS—The meeting of the Convention was in instructive business session during the week. much time was spent in class-room work as to the best modes and methods of teaching music, and how early (or at what ages) children should begin music. Delegates from all over the United States were present, also a foreign representative. Wichita was represented at this meeting by Miss Dorothy L. Sims; founder and president of Coleridge Taylor Conservatory of Music. This conservatory has the only National branch in the state. The program shows that Miss Sims was to appear once on program; reports show that she appeared the fifth time, including three piano solos broadcast over W. B. A. P., station in Fort Worth. These reports tell that she did credit to Wichita, and Kansas, putting Wichita, on the map, musically. Wichita, will be pleased to know that it is leading the majority of the cities musically, both in appreciation and equipment. The only fisuola in a Negro Studio reported to the National, is at the C. T. C., in Wichita, Kansas. The meetings were very enthusiastically attended. Thesame officers were re-elected, according to the bylaws. Mr. J. Wesley Jones. President, will entertain the Convention next year in Chicago, Ill. Among the leading artists presented on artist night were: Miss Ernestine Jessie Covington, pianist, who graduated with honor from Oberlin and has won four Juliard foundations in succession and she is one of the best Negro pianists of today. Mr. Louis Vaughn Jones, violinist, who is just back from Paris, displayed unusual ability as violinist The people of Wichita, will be pleased to know that Miss Marguerite Sanford, formerly of Wichita, was accompanist for Mr. Jones. Many will be glad to know that some of those from Wichita, enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. Winn, while attending the musical convention. Mrs. Winn was formerly Miss Famie Mae Bailey, and formerly taught piano at the C. T. C., in Wichita. the golod of all concerned. GONE TO REST Mrs. Geo.

FARM SERVICE ROADS ARE IMPORTANT Farm organization officials declare that the deplorable condition of the farm service roads which the majority of farmers must use in getting to an from their farms to the paved highways, has become a serious matter. While the farmers of the United States are paying seven per cent of the taxes for state and local highways, less than three per cent of the farms are reached by paved roads. Five million farmers are living on muddy, rutty, dusty roads, and there in the United States 2,481,822 miles of unimproved highways, with only 187,000 miles of high type surfaces such as asphalt, brick, and similar materials. A large part of the time of the Eighth Annual Paving Conference to be held at West Baden Springs, Indians, October 28, to November 1. will be taken up discussing the most practical methods of improving secondary, or fasm service roads. Cooperative study of low cost roads is being conducted jointly by the United States Bureau of Public Roads and the Ashphalt Association. WATCTOWER NOTES gathering of its kind, should allow themselves to be fooled by the fakes and pick-pockets.. When you allow yourself to join any stranger to get something for nothing, you may expect to get beat—the principle is wrong. The G. R., is a good motto to adopt. WTN The Church Covenant and Articles of Faith are printed in such cheap form nowadays, any member can get them. A knowledge of the letter and spirit of these fundamental Baptist principles will add to the intelligent, religious and church life of Baptists anywhere. The testimonial given the historian by the Ministers' Conference of Philadelphia, was on of the happy spots in my public career. It was on motion of Dr. Goff, Editor of the Christian Review. Some friends of the Union Baptist Church while we pastored 33 years ago, sent contributions to thab fund. We thank one and all for the sweet spirit of remembrance. WTN The spirit to celebrate in a large way the Golden Jubilee of our National Baptist Convention in 1930 is greatly on the increase among Negro Baptists everywhere. Many of the most far-sighted and best organizers have already been appointed on committees and we may reasonably look forward to a splendid program. A committee should go out to Liberia either before or after the meeting and hold a celebration here. Nothing but our concentration on poor, sinning, sorrowing and sobbing Africa and our interest in her plight which has stood the storm of the robbery of a whole Publishing House and the spirit of graft which has taken the whole of many whome our churches trusted—nothing could At 8 o'clock, after song service by the Senior Choir, Rev. Marshall chose for his text, Rev. Subject: "The Open Door;" and delivered a wonderful message. The Holy Ghost was present, with us all day. At the close of service, Communion service was held. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dorsey were fellowshipped into the church. At 8.00 a, m, Mrs. Fenney Dorsey was baptized in Soden Grove. Many witnessed the baptizing. Miss Sadie Fisher, Messrs Claud and Richard Fisher of Olivet spent Sunday in Emporia, visiting their sister, Mrs. Erma Thomason.

BRIEF FILED IN SCHOOL CASE --- NEW YORK, Aug. 30—Robert L. Bailey, of Indianapolis, attorney for the N. A. A. C. P., in the Gary School Case, has informed the National Office of the Association that the brief in the appeal was filed in the Supreme Court on August 19th. The Gary Branch of the Association, with the aid of the National Office, has been fighting this case for two years, following a student strike in 1927 which led to the barring of Negro students from the Emerson High School. A writ of mandamus to compel the school authorities to readmit the colored pupils was denied by Judge Grant Crumpacker of the Porter County Circuit Court, and it is from this denial that appeal is being taken. Associated with the Attorney Bailey is Attorney Edward McKinley Bacoun of Gary. The expense of the appeal is being borne by the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P., from the Legal Defense Fund. CRACKED DISHES ARE UNSANITARY CRACKED DISHES ARE UNSANITARY Have you any cracked dishes on your cupboard shelves? This may sound like a hunt for antiques, but it is really a plea for sanitation. Miss W. Pearl Martin who is health and sanitation specialist in the extension division at K. S. A. C. says that cracks in dishes are the lodging place for germs which adulterate food. Dish water and tiny particles of food seep into cracks and chips. Though a crack looks very, very small, it must be remembered that bacteria are invisible. The tendency to use a cracked plate just as long as it will hang together is thus mere false economy. If the dish be really old enough to be valuable as Americana or if it has sentimental associations with a persons or an occasion then it may be carefully lifted to a place of honor and security. In no case is it really "safe" to use cracked or chipped china. All cupboard shelves should be checked over for cracked dishes that may be the breeding grounds of hundreds of unseen enemies to health. have held us together fifty years but our yearning to see her brought to Christ. The American Baptist Missionary Conventions organized in 1964, Western and Southern Missionary Conventions organized in 1864, the the Consolidated Missionary Baptist Convention organized in 1886, all of these passed out of existence before we were organized. But none of them was so ratuated with unselfish love for the lost, as were our fathers when they met on that cool autumn day in Montgomery, Ala., November 24, 1880, and established the Foreign Mission Convention of the United States of America. Just as long as we keep in mind our great objectives and remember that we have come to the kingdom, "for such a time as this,"—just so long shall we continue to live and grow. Truly inspired was James Weldon Johnson, who wrote the National Negro Anthem:— "Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died: Come to the place for which our fa- ther elicited? Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way: Keep us forever in the path, we pray, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;" etc. Yours in His service, L. G. JORDAN, Sec.-Historian Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P B FITZWATER D.D. Dean Monday Bldg Institute of Chicago ) (6) 1920 Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for September 8 NEHEMIAH REBUILDING THE WALL OF JERUSALEM GOLDEN TEXT—The people had a mind to work LESSON TEXT—Nehemiah § 1.7.4 PRIMARY TOPIC—Working Together. JUNIOR TOPIC—Working Together INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Teamwork. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Co-operation in Religious Work. In order to prepare to teach this lesson the teacher should master the contents of the book of Nehemiah Nehemlah was a cupbearer to the Persian king. While performing his official duty he learned of the distress of his brethren in Jerusalem. The walls of the city were broken down its gates burnt, and the remnant of the captives were in great affliction. This news brought by his brethren greatly moved Nehemlah. He sat down and wept, and mourned several days, fasting and praying before God. In answer to his prayer he was granted a leave of absence from the Persian court, and credentials from the king. He journeyed to Jerusalem and made a survey of the city by night without disclosing his purpose to anyone. Having thus obtained first hand information, he called the representatives of the Jews together and said, "Let us build the walls of Jerusalem." 1. Preparation for the Building (chap. 3). The division of labor in this project displayed Nehemiah's administrative ability. A wise distribution of labor makes difficult tasks easy. Observe some outstanding features of this great work: 1. Stress laid upon indifference (v. 5). In administrative tasks it is proper that unfaithfulness should be pointed out as a warning to the unfaithful and encouragement to the faithful. 2. Help rendered by the women (v. 12). Perhaps Shallum had no sons to aid him. 3. Stress laid upon earnestness of sonfe (v. 20). Recognition of fidelity will spur one to faithfulness. 4. Every one built over against his own house (vv. 10, 23, 28) No incentive for eviction is quite so strong as that which concerns one's own family. 5. Certain guilds of men undertook certain work (vv. 8, 31, 32). 11. Hindrances Encountered (4:1 0:14). 1. Scolling of Sanbullat and Toblah (4:1-0, cf. 2:10, 20) The oppressors of Gods servants frequently begin by hurling ridicule 2. Conspiracy for a sudden attack (4:79). When the enemy saw that the work was actually succeeding they changed from filicule to an attempt to throw the workmen into a panic. 3. Conspiracy with the Jews (4:1023). They sought to hinder by inducing the Jews who were outside to discourage their brethren by the claim that the task was hopeless and that they were liable to sudden and secret attack. 4. Greed and oppression of the rich (5:113). The Jews of that day, like the profiteers of our day, took advantage of the poor and oppressed them, so that they mortgaged their land and even sold their daughters into slavery. 5. Scheme to take Nehemiah's life (G:1-14). When Sanballat and Tobiah failed in every other way they sought by craft to get Nehemiah away, that they might kill him. III. The Wall Completed (G:15 7:4). So energetically did they pursue their tasks that in fifty two days the wall was completed. We may learn from this; 1. That though God's children are beset by enemies, they should not fear 2. That when beset by enemies, we should pray (4:2). Their faith was accompanied by wise precaution. (a) They set a watch (4:9) (b) Men were permitted to be with their families (4:13), and would thus fight better. (c) Half worked and half watched all armed for battle. (d) They worked with sword in one hand (4:17). (c) They slept in their clothes in readiness (4:23). Prayer and faith are not slothful or inactive. A Picture by Plate Plato pictured the soul under the figure of a many hended monster, a lion and a man, combined in one form. The man represented the higher nature, the reason; the lion the passionate element; and the many-headed monster the lusts and appetites. The picture is as true today as when first presented. The lion and many hended monster exists in every person. It can only be changed by the love of the Christ, by which the lion is made to be as a lamb. BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue SUNDAY, SEPT. 8, 1920. Subject:—What Does Our Church Subject:—"What Does Our Church Ask of Us?" Text, Rom. 12:4-8. The church asks that we be to it what the members of the body are to it, not only instruments of service but ready to serve. Our first duty is to God and that duty is done through His church. If that service is to be acceptable with God, it must be inspired of love and loyalty. What counts with God is the motive that prompts the action and the spirit in which we act. Our talents are gifts from God and they are given to be used for God. Any other use is sin. Our church asks of us our first love and our first gift. The Kingdom, first. The correct order of life is, to put first things first. THOUGHTS Our expectations from our church should be in proportion to our service to the church. It is human to expect more than is given but it is divine to give more than is expected. Does the church ask more than the tithe? Do you give what it asks? Do you give what it asks? Should I complain against the payment of a just debt? "What doth the Lord require of thee?" How much owest thou my Lord?' LOVE BY. M. LIVINGSTON 1. What is Man's Duty Toward God? 2. To His Fellowman? 3. To His Country? 4. To His Home? 5. To His Church? This is the fourth topic of Love: "Man's duty To His Home." I will endeavor to begin writing this article by using these words: A man's duty to his home in my experience, as a man, I found out, to make a home happy and what it should be: one must first have the love of God shed abroad in his soul, and be rooted and grounded in Jesus Christ, that he may know how to share one with the other; such things, as God has blessed you with not begrudgingly, but willingly and with tender care in all, child-like simplicity; to avoid all misunderstandings, you must have God in your home and He should be in all that is in the home, man, woman and children, if there be any, and where there is no children, there is little happiness. Truly if there bring children into the world, were full of the love of God, there would surely be more love in the children end in the land; but if God is not in the home, the devil is, and where the devil is there is confusion, continually. I say this because in the beginning of creation of human beings there were only two human creatures, man and woman; these two knew of no other source at that time, saving God only and they loved God, and God loved them; for they knew no evil, and they were happy; when the devil sound out that God was not present, he took advantage of the two happy people and brought confusion in that home; the devil knew that God had once said, my spirit shall not always strive with man, and he was wise enough to find out in crawling around like a snake in the grass (just as he often does now-a-days) while the man was no doubt at his duties, and the woman, no doubt, walking alone in the garden, probably gathering food for her and her husband, and the devil showed himself, and beguiled her to do something contrary to the command of God and against the will of her husband, probably against even her own will, but being enticed, because God was not present, gave way to weakness and lust of the flesh, therefore, was not able to see the wrong side of life and walked into the devil's temptations. So it is in this day, if God is not with you, the devil is, and when one would see the bright side of life, the devil shows the wrong side, (all polished and looking bright.) You may be in fine shape, in the best of circumstances, you may be trying to do right in carrying out your now, and may have plenty of everything around you, and God may be leading you right, but when you let the devil come into your life, your home-life is broken up and all of your work is vain. Let every one first get God in your life, and see that He holds you, and you can surely make home what it ought to be, and thereby do your duty in the home. If there is strif in the home, your influence will soon be knocked out and your house become non-effactive duty to home. Let every one in the home have the same lovable care one for the other (referring to man and wife.) The Negro Star-for the Good of the People DR. HUGH N.

Begin with love, which is of God, and find Illim every morning, noon and night and there will not be any room in there for the devil to enter; home, after all, is what we make it. Stop Constipation!

Nujol WHAT OUR DISTRICT IS DOING (Continued from first page) Ica and the world are made possible by the uniting of capital and brains, all of these are worldly enterprises manned by men of the world; the majority of them claim no part in Christ; that is they don't claim to be Christisars. Yet they are possessed with the vision of Unity and co-operation which assures them success till they control the business of the world, we claim to be sons and daughters of God the Source of Unity, Wisdom and Knowledge, and the Creator of Heaven and Earth and all things therein. Born of that Spirit of Oneness, Unity and co-operation and yet we fall to unite and co-operate, even in this program that would extend His Kingdom, we need to pause and examine ourselves and find the defect and remove the same. If we won't do what Jesus says, suppose we take a few lessons from the big business of the world. But until we learn the lesson of Our Father God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, we will continue marking some end die without making any noticeable progress. Let us remember brethren that co-operation often means sacrifice; it became necessary for both North and South to make a tremendous sacrifice in order to maintain the integrity of the Union. It took a bloody war and a great loss of life to teach us the lesson. But out of that terrible disaster was born a new nation, each state now co-operating as a whole and making our country the strongest nation on the face of the earth. The human body is one of the best examples of cooperation, nature has her own way of telling us when any one organ is not doing its full duty; and how happy we are, when in full health, every part in the body is co-operating, and functioning as it should. The result is that we can accomplish much more and our labor become a pleasure instead of a dudgery. Let us learn the lesson and be willing to pay the price at whatever cost. I call your attention again to the urgent necessity of making places of employment for yourselves, your children and your children's children it is necessary for the preservation of our group; if our group is to maintain the advantage they have and hope to come fully into their own as a group, it must be done by thrift and co-operation and making places for ourselves. Some of the ways to make places: Buy small tracks of land, build houses upon them, raise hogs, small fruits, chickens and cattle. Establish co operative stores and farms; we should use the methods that the big businesses of the country are using and the same tact we have used in building meeting houses. Brother, we need place of employment for our group: our men, women, boys and girls must have places like other groups to earn a living, and accumulate wealth if we hope to be a factor in this commonwealth. We can make them if we will cooperate as a group and there is no other way. The Pastors should buy homes somewhere, so when he passes or becomes incapacitated for service, his family will have a home. In doing, he makes himself an exam, for the floor, and the community. LAW. Let us as a group, keep the laws of the land; the Eighteenth Amendment included. I am speaking especially to the Christians (God's people) most assuredly they should take a firm stand when the Stevens Hotel of Chicago, the largest in the courtly, has issued an order prohibiting the service of all set-ups in hotel rooms; the Black Stone and LaSalle II hotels in the same city have followed the example. The menu car on the Pennsylvania railroad dining cars now carry the following: "In observance of the Prohibition Law, we request that passengers kindly refrain from the use of intoxicating liquors while upon our trains." Christians should take the lead in law observance and set the pace for big business of the world. But instead, big business is setting the pace for a large number of professed Christians. What a shame and a disgrace when you think of such. Brethren, let us observe the laws of the land. The time is at hand when we as a group should reduce the number of annual conventions by combining our conventions, District, State and National. Thus effecting a great saving in energy, precious time and time. There conventions are a great gain upon the group finan- eq used smallpox sparumpyellas saved to the group in District and State and one-half million saved by having the S. S. and B. Y. P. U., Congress meet at the same place as the National Baptist Convention meets. Can't we see the need of this reduction of annual conventions? The leaders of our group should teach the people the lesson of economy and lead them into the practice of the same. Until we, as a group learn this lesson of economy we will be dependent upon other groups. Let the leaders stop, think and council together and decide to eliminate some of the annual conventions and combine others. BENEVOLENCE. A substantial business plan should be worked out and agreed upon to give assistance to the aged or incapacitated ministers, who have served well and on account of old age, and incapacitation, cannot render service, and are left to suffer and hungry and cold. The district should make some provision to assist them when they are in this condition and in need; so I am recommending same to this body for your consideration. CONSTITUTION. The constitution of this associations and its auxiliary conventions should be more explicit. In fact these should be one constitution for the patient body (the Association) and all of its Auxiliary Conventions, one general secretary, one general treasury, one executive board composed of persons of the association of the W. H. and F. M. Convention, S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Conventions. I hope we can work out same and agree upon it at this meeting; we can, if we out self aside, let us work to that end. VISITS. I visited fourteen of the churches of the district and found conditions as I have mentioned above, that the churches are tagging in its God-given program, because 85% of its members are not doing their individual duty. I visited the following churches: Calary, Coffeyville, received $2.15 Sardis, Coffeyville, ..... 2.00 t.

J. W. HAYES, PASTOR M. LIVINGSTON, REPORTER. S. S. at 9:30, Supt. in charge; Scripture reading, 27th Psalm—"Abiding Faith," Calvary is asking young as well as adults, to be on time for the opening of school. A program was rendered by the juniors, was very interesting; quite a few juniors were promoted to Senior classes. Morning worship at 1030; devotional services 40 minutes, led by pastor and deacons in an old fashion way which was very inspiring. About 40 minutes were spent in a testifying way. Sunday was rally day with 100 captains to report. Quite a number reported; others are yet to report. Two were added to the church, one of whom is for bantism. B. Y. P. U, at 6 p. m., president in charge. All groups assembled in one and was instructed by our brother Williams. We are anxious to see the adults as well as the young people rally to the front and make the Union the tining for the church life and starlight of the State. Evening worship at 8 p. m. Devotion was led by Rev. J. F. Green and Deaconess Scripture reading 1st Psalm. Pastor preached from 1st Cor. 11:29. "Let a man examines himself—A personal Examination." The pastor made plain his sermon The Lord's Supper was administered. The spirit was with us all day. One was added to the church in this service by Christian experience. Our rally was a success, seemingly all captains of the 100, did their best to go over the top. Topeka News Notes CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH REV. E. M. LOCUST, PASTOR ISAIAII EDWards, Reporter Sunday services were we'll attend ed. In the morning, pastor used as his theme, "As a Little Child." He made much of the fact that Jesus typified the members of the Kingdom of Heaven as "I Little Children" not adolescents or adults who may profess to know some things, but as little children who are innocent and susceptible to learning. The conclusion of the message was that the little child is humble, is faithful, is teachable and is dependent. This message was well received. A musical tea was given in the S. S. Temple on Monday evening. Dr. C. S. Booker was the guest preached at Calvary on Sunday afternoon and the choir of Shiloh, sang. Plans are in the making for a local S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Congress, under auspices of the Baptist chur- ches of the city, the first week of October. These sessions will be held in Calvary Church; Dr. C. S. Booker will preside, and Mrs. Isabel Walker is Directress of the Congress. Cradle Roll children and teacher, Mrs. Nancy Smith will have a party Sunday at 3 p. m.
