She was married in 1871 to Peter Tucker; to this union were born three children: Felix, Peter Mae and Dorothy; the two former, having preceded her in death, and her husband passed away 11 years ago. Mrs. Tucker was converted 50 years ago, and joined the Hutchory Grove baptist Church of Virginia, 37 years ago, she came to Emporia, and joined the St. James Baptist Ch. of which she was a member at her death. Mrs. Tucker made her religion practical and exemplified it in her care of children, (having reared 13 children who were not hers.) She leaves to mourn their loss, one daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Williams and son-in-law, Thurman Williams, one adopted son, Fred Curt, a nephew and niece, all of Emporia; three brothers and three sisters in Virginia and a host of other relatives and friends. CONDOLENCE Whereas, God, in His all-wise from our midst, the soul of our be-providence has seen fit to remove from our midst our beloved sister, and friend, Sister Caroline Tucker; We bow in humble submission to His will, knowing that he doth all things well. Sister Tucker lived a long, useful life. She was a faithful Christian. If we are faithful to the end, we will meet Sister Tucker, where parting will be no more. Therefore, be it Resolved that St. James Baptist Church, express our profound sorrow at her death and extend to the bereaved family and friends, our deepest sympathy, playing that you will look to our heavenly Father for the consolation that only God can give, and that you will meet Sister Tucker in that upper and better world, where parim will be no more. Done in sorrow by St. James Baptist Church, S. L. Glass, Clerk, Rev. C. O. Marshall, Pastor. ANNOUNCEMENT The Central Baptist Theological Ministry will begin the scolastic year, Tuesday, October 1st.

A dinner in his honor at the Standard Club marked the completion of that project, the Michigan Boulevard Garden Apartments, occupying the block bounded by Michigan boulevard, Wabash avenue, Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh streets. One hundred of the philanthropist's associates in the project, including numerous Negro leaders, attended the fete. It was announced that all 421 apartments in the $2,000,000 building have been rented, almost three months before it was believed they could be filled. At the dinner, Mr. Rosenwald revealed that he had wanted to build such a structure, fifteen years ago. "Until now it was impossible to build it without making it a charity project," he said. "I wanted the apartments to produce a reasonable return—to show that such a group of homes can be profitable. Otherwise the purpose would be defeated." ELWOOD NOTES Rev. A. O.

It's silence when your speech would hurt, Politeness when your neighbor's curt It's deafness when the scandal flows. And sympathy with other's woes, It's loyalty when duty calls, It's courage when disaster falls, It's patience when the hours are long, It's found in laughter and in song: It's in the silent time of prayer, In happiness and in despair. In all of life and nothing less, We find the things we call success. (Poem presented at Silver Bay Sum- mer school. We regret that the au- thor is not know)—Clipping.

Y P. U, LESSON: BY REY, J. WoMAYES, SEPT. 22, 1929 Our Part In Making a Hetter World. Matt, 6:10. 28:19, 20. Our part in making the world bet« ter, is not only the part we occupy in the social, mental, physical and apintual world but the part which ft is possible for us to occupy. | Each individual has a definite part to play in making a better world and when he has played that part com- pletely, there ia neither time nor energy to play the role of another. To render Christian Service is a great thing, to render more Christian service is a greater thing, but to be a noble Christian character {s the greatest thing, The text suggests first that we are to pray for the Kingdom which implies the deepest desire for its establishment. Then we are to work for the Kingdom which implies a hfe ine vestment for the Kingdom, The sir Christian has no will but God's will, The marching orders for the mak- era of a better world is “Go; The message, “Make Disciples”; The extent, “This World;” The authority “The Holy Trinity;” The Promise, “The company of Jesus.” THOUGHIS The world grows better by indi- viduals, While we canrot make the world partes? in a day, wecan make it etter day by day. If the world is no better, what about you? We should at Icast be as good as we criticize our neighbor for not being. In the spiritual and mental world we can rot build higher than we live. To do noble is fine but to be noble is better. } SUBSCRIPTION $ 1.50 A YEAR cae Geeta Calvary Baptist Churcl, REV. J. W- HAYES, PASTOR M. LIVINGSTON, REPORTER. S.

But while we rejoice let us not forget that we are yet at the beginning. Much remains to be done. You know your duty; you also know just what you have done, and this appeal comes to remind you of the amount that is due the State Convention at this time, as we believe that each Church will put forth its best effort in raising the amount due, because of the importance of the work. amount due, because of the importance of the missionary pastors, as also, we must increase the number with better pay. Our seminary work must go on with added help which calls for more money. Now let us all pull together for a great meeting. At this meeting in Wichita, all our churches and auxiliaries will have as opportunity to show their loyalty to this cause so dear to the Heart of God; And we urge every church in the State to be represented by messenger or letter.

Continued from last week) (From the beginning of this series of articles I have not at any time outlined a problem for any one in particular, but have tried my utmost to make it plain to all, so there would be no criticism. After going into my closet, closing the door and getting upon my knees, asking God to let the Holy Spirit guide me, as there were so many things before me, my mind was seemingly confused; while meditating, it was revealed to me to write on this group for The Negro Star—for the Good of the People As John wrote in Revelations and said, I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and heard, behind me a great voice as of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega: the first and the last, and what thou seest write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia. The 12th verse said, and I turned to see the voice that had spoken with me, and being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks, and in the midst of the candlesticks, one like unto the Son of Man; clothed with a garment down to the fee and girt about His papes with a golden girdle. His head and His hair were white like my own people,) wool as white as snow and His eyes were as a flame of fire and his feet like unto fine brass as if burned in a furnace and His voice as the sound of many waters. Now as I meditated with God upon these things; thoughts came to me—Matters concerning my own individual people and still dwelling upon Man's duty to Home; I am wondering if there is any reason for us to be so grouchy and to be always growling in life over matters? We wust all be willing to share with one another, such things as would make us happy. We have been bought by a price, search died under bondage and persecution; but God heard their cries and came to their rescue, bringing freedom. If Jesus is able to lay down His ROLAND PAINT SHOP I.

I do not believe there is any one responsible for my failing in life although our fathers were under bondage, thourgh the blood of Jesus, we are brought from under bondage and are enjoying life. Our fathers suffered, our fathers own life, and take it up again, rising triumphant over death, hell and the grave and to rob death of its sting and the grave of its victory, bind old satan in the bottomless pit, shouting all power is in my hand in heaven and earth, we should serve Him in all and for all, and do our whole duty to our homes. He also said to His disciples, Go ye into all the world and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the son, and the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things and lo (or truly) I am with you, even unto the end of the world. Now to my people, if we are afraid to trust Him, we will always fall short of a blessing and of discharging the all important duty to the home. Why should we think that we are the undergrowth, when we sometimes sing, My Father is Rich in Houses and Land, He Holdeth the Wealth of the World in His Hand, if we know these things of our Father? And knowing all these things are His, why should we worry in life of what is in possession of anther when we are here just for a few days and pass on? God will let us use His, while we are here if we will only ask; for He said, ask and it shall be given, seek and we shall find. If another asks and seeks and get more than you, why should you worry? and who is at fault? Stop and think for once that we have had only 65 or 70 years, and we are progressing as fastly as we can stand. The advance is fast enough, put your shoulder to the wheel and keep turning with patience, trusting your Reeferer, and keep the faith, because frith goes along with the work; and you will find that one's duty to his home is never complete until the Lord has said, "Enough Done, come up higher."

FLIT KILLS FLIES MOSQUITOES Other Household Insects ANNOUNCING LAWRENCE, KANSAS, Sept. 3, To the Baptists of Kansas: The District Associations are now over (in history.) All had great meetings. The programs were all inspiring and helpful. I was able to meet all the districts in their annual meetings. The broad-hearted mer and women gave us a hearty wel come and we enjoyed the fellowship very much. The response they gave to the appeal for our Missionary and Educational work was little J. c. couraging, also. The Moderators are to be mended for their work and co-operation in the program of the State Convention. Rev. J. T. Elias of Southeastern, Rev. G. T. Raincy of Smoky Hill River, Dr. D. B. Jackson of Kaw Valley, Dr. J. W. Hayes of Southwestern, Rev. J. H. Scott of Neosho Valley and Rev. B. J. Davidson of Northeastern, with these strong Gospel preacher at the head of the districts, we could expect nothing else but success. Some changes were made in the North eastern district, but we hope that the new officers will prove a tower of strength for this district. Now that the Associations are over, we must turn our attention to our annual meeting of the State Convention, that is to meet with the Calvary Baptist Church of Wichita, Oct. 8-13. This should be a great meeting, the coming together of the Baptist family of Kansas to plan for greater things in our Missionary and Educational work. All our churches, Mission Circles, Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. Ua., should report with a large contribution for the State Work. We are anxious to pay off our debt in order that we may do the work, unhampered by "old debts." To this end, we are working and praying, and are here trying all to help by dig their bit, "Large Things," for the Kingdom work. This will mean a greater program next year. The program for the State Meeting will, in a few days reach all the churches and pastors of the State. Let us all work together to make this a great meeting. We can do this if we decide to take no background in our Missionary and Educational Work. Can the Lord Count on you? G. N. JACKSON, Executive Sec. Talbert Br., Y. W. C. A. The Cabinet and Program Committee of the High School Girl Reserve Club met at the Branch, Wednesday afternoon. The theme selected for this year is the "Pyramid."
