THE CHURCH'S Cloping by G. W. Winston FROM THE "Ya" MAN" The Church is responsible for the community. If the community life is under-lightcous, immoral-low idealed, false visioned, narrow-minded, cruel, heartless—the church which should have shed the oil of gladness and friendship and vision and broad-heartedness, is responsible for the condition of society around its doors. The message the church has offered has been a distinct indisposition of our preparation for service and our equipment to minister. We have been addressing the masses from our pulpits as tho' there were no hope of better conditions on the earth—we have striven to offer inducements for faith and courage by showing the glorious happiness of THE LIFE OF MARY C.

THE SOUTH FINDING ITSELF DR. L. H. KING, IN SOUTHWESTERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE Riding the other day as a passenger on the Birmingham Special, just before we reached our destination, we were approached by the countess conductor, who requested, as is the custor, our assistance. On being handed it by me, he replied in gunit veint: "I am a to as a passenger or my train." To every other one of the score of passengers in the crowded coach he made similar utterances. I said to him, as he was hurriedly retiring through the coach, "We are more than delighted to ride with such a conductor as you." This remark evidently was a challenge to his more extended conversation, for, despite the haste necessitated by our arrival now at the terminal, he paused and snatched a moment to make this reply: "It is my custom, air, to treat everybody with due respect, regardless of who they are, in all of my dealings with men of every race. Your presence on my train was really a pleasure to me." Such uncommon courtesy foll me into thinking as to the why of it. It is but natural that surmises would begin, as we discussed it among a handful of similarly surprised passengers who, like myself, had noted this remarkable manifestation of courtesy in the South. Someone, speaking up, said, "I guess the railroads are courting good will because of the increasing share of their traffic being taken by the public buses and private automobiles." At the same time, others gave us explanation, and we think these last were right—at least they expressed what I think was the case: This conductor was one of an augmenting number of that better type of Southerner who dare to see men otherwise than through the goggles of sectional tradition and racial prejudice; who see men as essentially similar personal units in a great mass of humanity entitled to the ordinary human consideration when society should give to all men despite the incidents of birth or race. This man simply ventured to be a real gentleman across cultural and racial lines. The other incident which jolted us was an item of news by the Associated Press. It reported that a certain aristocratic social club of Atlanta, refused to act favorably on the application of a high official of the Ku Klux Klan for membership in the club. Desirous of verifying the report, I waited until I had business subsequently in Atlanta in order to ask a friend of mills there whether the report could be substiated. He said it was true, and that it was the Club's method of discrediting and repudiating the Klan and the ideals for which the Klan stands. I set up another series of murmishings in regard to this, as in the case of the courteous conductor whose mentlored. . . "Maybe after all," I thought, "this was a personal affront, based on persona non grata personae." But my further investigations required me that the action of this exclusive social club of Atlanta was due to the discredited influence and waning estimate which happily the Khan is now experiencing in the very cradle of its birth. A rather unidentified though philosophical envirng this, "Chickens come home to roost." Both these incidents are illustrations of the intriity that it stimu- mines to find more remoral conspirion in the South. The way is here South.

FITEWATER, D.D., Dean Mindy Bible Institute of Chicago.) (© 1813 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for October 13 KEEPING FIT FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS Temperance Lesson LESSON LEXT-Dan 1 8-20, 2 Cor 18.22, 1.31, 4.21 GOLDEN TEXT—Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body. PRIMARY TOPIC—Taking Care of Our Bodies JUNIOR TOPIC—Keeping FIL. INTERMEDIATE AND BENIOR TOPIC—Self-control for the Common Good YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Temperance Essential to the Highest Usefulness. In the use of this as a temperance lesson it must be borne in mind that it is temperance in the sense of self-mastery rather than indulgence in inoxfeating liquor. 1. The Self-mastery of Daniel and His Companions (11nn. 1:520). These young men were wrenched from their homes and country in the tender years of youth and carried away as captives to a strange land. (1) The test of conscience (v. 6). By the appointment of the king, a portion of the king's ment and wine was provided daily for the captives This being contrary to the Jewish customs, the young men could not conscientiously partake of them. Conscience is the groundwork of human character. (2) Changed name (vv. 6. 7). Among the Ilebrews, names were given to children which were most significant. Daniel means "God is my judge." The significance of this name was that all the problems of life were submitted to God for His decision. This was the secret of Daniel's successful life. (3) Their religious life (v. 8). This involved their refusal to eat meat and to drink wine. In the case of Daniel at least, it also involved his praying three times a day. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with this food and drink. 2. Their courtesy (vv. 8-13). Daniel seems to have been the spokesman for the company. Although his heart was fixed he did not forget to be a gentleman. He requested that he be excused from this meat and drink in order not to be deftiled. 3. Their triumph (vv. 14-21). (1) Their physical health (vv. 14-16). A test was made for ten days which showed that they were fairer in countenance and fatter in flesh than those who indulged in the king's meat. (2) Their mental growth (v. 17 20). Daniel and his companions were found to be ten things better than their comrades in wisdom and understanding. (3) Social and political preference (v. 19) They stood before the king (4) Their temporal influence (v. 21) All were advanced to positions of influence, and Daniel became president of the college of wise men and the prime minister of the nation. II. Paul Advises the Corinthians as to Self control (I Cor. 9:19-27) The Corinthians were an intemperate and a dissolute people. No city in the world perhaps exceeded them in views of all kinds. The surest and most effective way to combat vice is to incubate virtue 1. Paul's own life and example (sv. 19 23). Though free from all men, he made himself servant unto all 2. The Isthmian games (sv. 21 27). Paul uses these popular games to illustrate the need of self control (1) Life is a race (vv. 24, 22). In order to win a prize there must be self denial and definite exertion. The Christian obtains life by contact with Jesus Christ through faith (John 3:10; 3:30; 5:21). While he gets salvation (life) at the beginning, God places before him definite rewards as two lives to exertion. The Christian believes for life, but works for rewards. (2) It is a light (vv. 20, 27). The Christian's efforts are not mere headings of the air. He has a deadly struggle with his carnal nature. III. Paul's Advice to Timothy (I Tim. 4:712). A minister needs to have control of himself. He is urged to exercise him self unto godliness. He needs to train himself for his work as a teacher and a minister. Doing Good Doing good is the only pleasure that never wears out.—Confucius Bring God into Your Heart Bring God down into your heart Embalm your soul in Him now make within you a temple for the Holy Spirit; be diligent in good works make others happier and better.—Anselm's Journal Power and Providence No one can contemplate the great facts of astronomy without feeling his own littleness and the wonderful sweep of the power and providence of God - Islands BY KEV. J. W. HALES. 613 Wabash Avenue SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1929 Subject: 'Jesus Teaches Us To Drew' Text: Matt. 6:5-13. Subject: Jesus teaches us to Pray. Text: Matt. 6:5-13. In the model prayer (sometimes designated "The Lord's Prayer teaches us to pray and how. Prayer is the soul in communion with God. It is the soul's deepest desire, in it the soul seeks right relationship with God. The hypocrit would make us believe that he is righteous and a man of prayer; he stands to be seen and speaks to be heard, as if he would pray to the people rather than for and with them. The Master teaches (when ye pray) enter the closet and shut the door, then speak to God as a child to its father. It is to be simple, reasonable, and believing. Our needs should be known and our efforts to realize those needs should be exhausted. It is then Our Father delights to help us. In real prayer we are in a reverent attitude. We have a sense of the presence of the Determiner of Destiny. A complete surrender of the will and implicit faith in the fulfilment of His promises. The Matter of Prayer:— The Matter of Prayer: Confession, adoration, thanksgiving, petition, solicitation, etc. ing, petition, support A plea for pardon, an acknowledgment of divine ownership, a consciousness of the presence of temptation, one need of God to enable us to overlime. THOUGHTS Take time to be alone with God, first, to man afterward. Let nothing intercept your appointment with God. Spend an honest hour with God each day. The life of prayer is the life of triumph. You cannot defeat a man who puts all his trust in God. Calvary Baptist Church REV. J. W. HAYES, PASTOR M. LIVINGSTON, REPORTER. S. S. 9:30, Supt. Mrs. M.

Somerset Rattles Burrifolds The heavy soldier grid warriors administered the first season defeat to the Buffaloes, Saturday at Leavenworth, when the invaders were turned back six to nothing. Under the beaming sun, the combat was waged for the most part in mid-field with the soldiers having a slight advantage. It was not until the opening minutes of the fourth quarter that the K. V. S. line yielded to the battering attack of its heavier opponents and the soldiers smashed over the winning score. While the team went down in defeat, Coach Douglass expressed satisfaction at the defense of his line but continued to search for ball huggers. The failure of Silvey to show his old form coupled with the absence of backfield men makes the backfield problem a perplexing one. Of the seven men who were used in the backfield only Todd, Jewell and Shelby show up in a pleasing manner. Shelby may not be eligible for the conference as he was a member of the Western College team last year.

Do you think you could fool all the people all the time? It is the belief of this paper that If you will be honest with your- self and honest with the people you could save a number of lies you tell trying to keep things patched up. To keep putting patches on patches won't make the matter strong but weaker, and easier destroyed or make worthless. Would you rather fail than to concede to right? Would you be so bold that even the young minds will lose faith in you? Shooting straight will win and the work will grow. If you represent Gdd, He will help you, but He will not let you take your evil desires to run His kingdom. The people hear what you say an they see what you do, and reach their own conclusions. Remember the voice of the people is the voice of God, and He means for you to hear His voice. CITY ITEMS Mra, Annabell Hill of Salina, is making a visit in the city with her daughter, Mrs. F.C.

RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION The Negro Star—for the Good of the Peopte “HOW: to draw on heaven for power to over- * ; | come in this world. {THE STUDY OF MISSIONS) } The World wants evidence. Christ Firat, I want to say that, "Chris- tianity is fundamentally mission- ary.” By this we mean, (1) That the Missionary ingredient is an orig- inal, essential, necessary and indis- pensible major element in it. (2) That the Missionary Spirit Is no off-shoot or by product, but belongs to the very central care of our religion, (3) That Christianity ts not itself without it. (4) The profesing Christian who does not see and feel this has yet to Jearn what real Christianity Is. The atudy of Missions must be spiritual and thorough. In John 1:4 we find “In Him was life and the life was the light of men.” Here we have an expression of the divinity of Christ so to study missions we must first be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corrup- tion that is in the world thru lust, “Come to me, and learn” and then, “Go tell,” I believe is the natural se~ quence of these commands given, Since impression is known from ex pression more time should be glven to the reception or the formation of the impression, God’s spirit comes from studying God’s book and Jesus is the heart of the word and if we atick closer to the word we will come out more fully under the influence of the Holy Spirit, “And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John tells us that many other signs and wonders Jesus did, but these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that be- lieving ye might have life through His name. That is, in the study of Missions, the aim is to show by the work and the teachings of Jesus how after His ascension, the Holy Spirit furnished the proof that Christ had made food in all thet He promised; because when” He came on Pentecost the disciples found themselves in possession of spiritual power, other- wise, impassible unless this power had been released directly from heaven; for after all the proof of Christ's claims is thot we are able RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION $1.50 A YEAR ae ae Chippewa Indian Medium and e Astrologist Born with a strange and wonderful sift, Forty years before the panics has used his gift since childhood.

The world wants evidence, Christ verified this when Io said, “If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me.” In the study of missions the stu- dent forms a map within his mind, the outline of which takes the_form of wherever the necds may be. And now, “Go tell.” Christ indi- cated the best service we could ren- der when He said, “And ye shall be my witness,” not biographers to compile what others knew but wit- nesses to tell what they themselves personally knew, for what one knows he can tell with comtellinb power. So, if we follow these rules in the study of Missions, I believe we would have a decper interest in the work, increased missionary information, more missionary offering and great. er missionary service, e ST.
