THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE TO HAITI DR. R. R. MOTON. A. R. B. Principal of Tuskegee Institute, was appointed by President Hoover to conduct an investigation into the Haitian Educational system. He was fully able to have been appointed along with the commission if diplomacy had not been used instead of right. Well, it takes a SIAN, to do WATER STREET Y. M. C. A. NOTES COME OUT WHERE I AM! A man lay half-dead in a Massachusetts hospital bed. An accident had smashed his body. Days passed before Science gave him hope for life; then he began to recover. But even before his bones sent out the sharp knitting pains, a message came with the speed of lightning from the distant Southwest. The telegram was followed by a letter and in the letter were these words. 'Come out where I am. The desert will cure your back as it has cured my lungs. Nights under the low hanging, whispering stars will restore your strength. These sunsets will bathe your spirits with healing glory. These mysteries of lingering, ancient civilizations will stir your imagination to new adventures, and this quiet of infinite peace will heal your soul. Come out where I am!' And so when the patient was sufficiently recovered, when at last physicians and nurses released him, he accepted the invitation. Out to the desert and to his friend; out to the nights under the low hanging, whispering stars; out to the sunset which bathed his spirits with healing glory; out to the mysteries of ancient lingering civilizations and to the quiet of an infinite peace the man went. And it was even so! His a length was restored! His body and soul were healed. There is another Friend who is calling today, "Come out where I am!" And over the mystery of life, with its unfolding program of toil and adventure its disillusionment too, as well as its achievement—our ears may catch the whisper of that most alluring of all invitations, "I go to prepare a place for you. Where I am there ye may be also." "Come out where I am!"—Christian Herald Because of the illness of several of the men, it was not possible to have Vol. 22, No. 46. NAXA RIGHT because it is RIGHT, and not go according to the popular sentiments of the public. It takes a Christian man to please God and his conscience. We are drawing nearer and nearer to accountability and some day we shall come unto our own. Board Meeting on the 15th, however they will meet Feb. 20th. Plans are under way for the membership campaign, Match tid to the 7th. Feb. 14th our Live Wire team defeated Newton, 17-15, in an extra period of play. The preliminary between the school teams went to L'Ouverture 11-10. The K. R. T. team journeved to Topeka, and met K. V. S. in a hotly contested match which ended 18.0 21 for the Topeka boys. Our Junior Hi-Y Team played Dunbar in Salina; yielding the game 11-23. They report a good time. The State Young Men's Christian Association of Kansas, 114 E. 9th, Topeka, Kansas, Feb. 15, 1930 Mr. W. L. Hutcherson, Wichita, Ks. My dear Hutch:—I think I have never made the comment that I have wanted to make to you regarding this fine work you have done on THE TATLER this year. Not on y has been a splendid paper, and you have done your job as editor well, but I has been a great satisfaction to me to get under way one of the projects that I felt a need in Kan as. I hope we will never let down on the publishing of such a paper. Very sincerely yours, BRUCE W. TALLMAN. NOTE—The Tatler is the state paper of the Association of Loy's Work Secretaries. This year, the Central Branch of the Y. M. C. A. has invited the Water Street Branch to full participation in the Annual Membership campaign, March 3-7, 1930. This means participation in publicity, leadership and service. The Campaingn will take the form of a "Wild West Round Up." We WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Feb. 21, 1930 THE LIFE SAVING CAMPAIGN some might that man applied from with would the personal for- diction of every citizen. During the past decade the au- dition or in industry has been greatly decreased. Part o this i due, of course, to mechan al ra- guards. But the greater port of the credit nut go to the fact that industrial executives, through education an example, have given workers a knowledge of the ancient pro- that makes them avoid and remove hazards. We would have practically no automobile accidents if all drivers were competent, careful and law-abiding. It is the well- or careless driver who is responsible for the 21,000 deaths caused annually by automobiles in this country. At the present time the progressive schools of the nation are adopting accident prevention courses as part of their curricula. A sense of personal responsibility for accidents is instilled into the child to develop life-saving instinct. Adult Americans should benefit from the very training the schools give their children and understand that accident prevention is more a personal than a legislative accomplishment. PUBLIC INTEREST IS AROUSED The public interest that is now being assured in our crime situation is a healthy sign of future action. A student Hoover's committee on law enforcement has made its first report and suggests that American judicial action be simplified and strengthened. One of the most interesting factors in the situation is the agreement among many authorities that certainty of punishment, rather than severity alone, is a preeminent crime deterrent. Although law-ridden, America is the greatest law-breaking country in the world. It is time to stop passing crime breeding legislation, namely, thousands of new laws which make involu'htary law-breakers out of other's law-abiding citizens, on the theory that an "anti that" law will curb crime. If the criminal obeyed laws the penitentiaries would have been curty years ago.

WOMAN IN THE CHRISTIAN AREA It was quite a task for me to get together some real true and interesting facts on this subject: Women in this Christian Area, but after I had studied it carefully and prayed that, I learnt to see more light on it to showing that you know he training of women and also Chris an, and the word area as well, but for my own thought, I had better look up the word Area as a finding that the word means a plain surface, an enclosed space. The superficial contents of any figure. The wild superficial rane, lying in the surface, shallow, not deep. Obvious—Now there it is again. I looking up the word obvious I find it means open, exposed, habile, subject easily understood manifest plain, clear. I did not apprehend so I decided to draw a line through time, from the beginning until now, making two spaces, putting the line at Noah's flood, making that the first space. From the beginning to Noah's flood, and from the flood until row the 2nd space; In doing so, this will give us two spaces or two Christian or Religious Areas. Allow me to call the 1st area the Ancient Religious Area and the second space the present Christian Area. Now I have decided to define my argument to the Christian woman, married or single, but a low me to say, it is almost impossible to disguise the women in this Christian area, without referring to the ancient religious areas. As you know, in the ancient religious Area, it was believed that the women should not take part in the religious program, and if they served the Lord through their husbands; if they were permitted to pray in public they must have their heads covered. They were not allowed in the religious councils, if they wanted to know anything, they had to ask their husbands. This condition continued until Christ came and made it plain that God had more in mind when He made woman than a mere companion or company keeper for man; that He had mapped out and outlined His great program, and in this program is a special part for women to play; as now, the first woman was made an adult, fully matured, or what we call grown. God was the creator, and if you will permit me to say: the woman was the 2nd creator (I am sure you understand) and that God made her and gave her the power to fishish the work of this human c Now you will agree with me that the women have played well their parts in the creation of human beings. From Eve down to the flood, then after the flood then after the flood the women of Noah's family began the same work of creation, and until this time the loyal women are still playing their parts in God's great program of creation. Now you see with this outline, to give this subject justice I must start in the home of the women in this Christian Area. Why I say I must start in the home of the women of this Christian Area as you know, we only spend one day of the week in the church, by this I have reference to the regular church goers that, is not true with the so-called Christian women, for some of them go to church twice a month and others once a month, and still others once every two or three months, and some once a year. Now this don't show much interest on their part in Christianity. Just on the other hand you will find that the women in the Ancient Religious Area was more willing and ready to do their little bit against all their advantages than our women are in this Christian Area and we have all the advantages of this area. Our women don't have to wait on their husbands, they Kens. Vocational School The girls octet and the boys plea club under the direction of Mrs F F. Terry, were much in demand last week, as they filled several singing POWER IN POLITICS KANSAS PASTOR The political lines are forming for the battle between advocates of publicly owned and operated electric utilities and supporters of our present system of private ownership of such properties. This issue will probably be prominent in the Congressional elections next November and the Presidential election of 1942. It is an indisputable truth that electric service is the best in our history, that rates are lower and steadily decreasing and that expansion on the facilities progresses on an unprecedented scale. American citizens and workers use more electricity and apply it to more tasks than do the citizens of any other country. It is a notable fact that electric movement has been slowest in those European countries where utilities are politically-owned and operated. It will be up to advocates of political ownership of this industry to convince the American people that even if the government could sell tax tree electricity a few cents cheaper for each family per annum than private enterprise—a supposition which has never been clearly proven—that it would be in the best interest of the people of this nation to give up our basic principles of government which recognise individual rights to do business, in order to try a scholastic theory. It is certainly logical to believe that once government goes into one business it will go into others as fast politicians can pass the necessary bills. Do we want our sons and daughters to ultimately become mere cogs in a big political machine or do we want them to remain free agents, able to develop their own businesses and industries free from needless political domination and dictation? We must maintain government "by the people" instead of too much government "of the people." "A GOOD SESSION" The Second Quarterly Board of Southwestern District held a very good session with the Calvary Baptist Church, Feb. 13, 14, 1930. Sixteen churches represented out of twenty; while the churches represented did not send full prorata, however, sending part is indicative of the fact that they are in sympathy with the work. Because of this cooperation we were able to give for State Work twice what we gave in our first board. A very constructive program had been prepared and was very helpfully carried out; the fact that most of those programmed were present and prepared, made this possible. Our next meeting is to be held with Second Baptist Church, Hutchinson, May 15, 16, 1950. At which time we are hoping to double the Wichita Meeting. MRS. JEWEL BROWN, Gen. Sec. engagements at various churches and schools in the city of Topeka there were so many requests for our singers last Sunday, some of the requests had to be turned down. The K. V. S. Booklovers Club was entertained last Monday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Johnson. A delicious luncheon was served at the close of the program. The Girls Reserve, sponsored by Miss Minnie Brown, gave a very entertaining program in chapel Wednesday morning, February 12. One of the interesting features was a Valentine Play. Prof. Richardson made two talks Wednesday evening, Feb. 12. One was given in North Topeka, for the N. A. A. C. P., at a Douglass meeting. The second was given at the Memorial Building. The K. V. S. basketball team defeated Western College last Friday night in Kansas City. Prof. Clement Richardson went to St. Louis, last Saturday to address the Y. M. C. A. there in their study of Negro History. V. R. defeated Wichita, on the home court Saturday night, Feb. 15, Five Cents Per Copy. The many friends of Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Young, formerly of Topeka, Kansas, now serving the First Baptist Church, Baltimore, Maryland, will be delighted to know that he is succeeding in his new field; and that in four months, their church has been remodeled, coming up to the latest equipments and comforts. The picture of the church on the program, just received shows a beautiful edifice. The program proves his ability to organize and use the talent in his possession. This useful man and his efficient wife as helper, are continuing to climb, and we are praying for their unfolded success as the whole of Kansas rejoice with his onward march. GOSPEL STORY A MESSAGE TO THE MINISTER AND LAYMAN OF THE CHURCH Not purloining, but shewing all good Fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. A blessed possibility that a man may add to the attractiveness of the Gospel. Even the slaves of Crete could do that, says Paul. In the narrow sphere in which they performed their often repulsive tasks and amid sordid aqualor that was the luck of many, it lays in their power to make the doctrine of God attractive. Men write and argue and fight and even die for their religion, but here, here is a call to live for it. To let its spirit permeate all things. The sublime theories of this book, are to be demonstrated in our daily lives; we are to show the reality and glory of them by translating them into deeds. We sometime hold a sheet of music in our hands and form and estimate its value; from its printing score, it looks as though it would be good, we say, when, however, we hand it to the competent orgranist and it is sympathetically rendered on the right kind of instrument we find in the performance a greatly increased attractiveness. He did not create it, but sought to understand it, to interpret it to put into it what the composer intends, and in doing, adds greatly to our enjoyment and appreciation. The great compositions of the masters reaches the ears and thrills the souls of the multitude only through the bands and voices of those who bring to life what would otherwise a unexpressed harmony and beauty. The loveliness of the rose has been the subject of many able pens, yet no description of the bloom can ever be a worthy substitute for the living flower, so it is with the doctrine of Christianity they are not, they cannot be as fair on the printel page as when unloaded in a life with what interest some of us look thru the thick covered illustrated family Bible of childhood days, we still recall its pictures yet looking back over certain years. Years of cloud and loss and bereavement, we feel that the best illustration of that book, was a life that through darkness and storms found it to be a lamp unto the pathway. With a sublime optimism, a face was uplifted toward the day dawn and in spite of the puzzling, laffling experiences of life there remains unfaltering faith that dwells on the unlimited facts of God's love. And that could cry, Tho' He slay me yet will I trust Him and in that faith, the common task of the home was performed with a quiet strength that amazed some who knew little of the peace of God that passeth all understanding. They saw and marveled at one who carried a heavy burden for they were seek- (Continued on page three) with a score 24 to 18. After the game a social was held in the gymnasium.

Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By RF) F. B. FIREWATER, D.D., Mem- ber of Faculty, Almondale High Ile Institute of Chicago) (©) 1920, Western newspaper Union) Lecton for March 16 THE PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM LESSON TEXT—Matthew 13:24-52 GOLDEN TELT THE kingdom of God is not meat and drink but eight- o'clock and peace, and joy in the Lily's thistle PRIMARY LOCUS—The Whole World for Jews. JUNIOR TOPIC—The World for Christ INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What Our Religion Means to Us YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—What Christianity Means to the World. The things set forth in these parables only apply to the church in the measure that they permeate that body by virtue of its being formed within this period. It should be observed that they set forth the "mysteries" of the kingdom. 1. The Wheat and Tares (vv 24:30, cf. 30:41) 1. The sowers. The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man (vv 37), and the sower of the tares is the devil (vv 39) 2. The growing crops (vv 26). There is a striking resemblance in the growing crops. The chief part of the devil is that he transforms him self into an angel of light (II Cor 11:14, 15). 3 The harvests (v. 30). There comes a time when the fruit of the crop shall be gathered. The separation is made by the angels under the direction of the Son of Man. For the tues there is a furnace of fire. For the whent there is the Lord's garner. 11. The Mustard Seed (vv. 31, 32) 1. Its unimportant beginning (v. 1) It begins as the least of all seeds not only was Christ the King, of humble parentage, but His disciples were unaltered fishermen. Likewise through the centuries not many wise and not many noble have been called. 2. Its vigorous growth (v. 32). Though small in its inception, the work inaugurated by Christ has become mighty in power 3. Its lodging capacity (v. 32). The birds which find lodgment in the tree do not represent the children of men who find safety and salvation in the church but the predatory beings who have found shelter in the church, though they are no part of it. III. The Leavened Meal (v '33). 1. The meal in Scripture means something nutritious and wholesome. something nutritious and whole-some. It was used in one of the sweet savour offerings which typified Christ (Lev 2:1-3 R V). 2 The woman The woman is the administrator of the home. Her responsibility is to take the bread provided by the head of the home and prepare and distribute it to the children. It means then that the woman the administrator, has in produced false doctrine and thus corrupted the children's bread. 3 The leaven In Scripture, leaven is invariably a type of cell (Ex 12:15, Matt 16: 6, 12; I Cor 5:69; Gal 5:8, 9). It means that in this age the truth of God would be corrupted by worldliness and unbelief 2. The treasure The treasure means borne (Ps 133:4, Deut 7:6-8). 3. The purchaser. No one but the Son of God had sufficient resources to buy the world (John 3:16). 4. The purchase price This was the precious blood of Jesus Christ, God's beloved Son (1 Pet 1:13-19). V. The Merchantman Seeking Poarks (iv, 45, 46). 1. The merchantman is Christ. The Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost (1 Luke 19:10). 2. The purchase price. Christ is overwhelmed Himself (Phil 2:68) to purchase the one pearl of great price (1ph) 5:25). 3. The pearl of great price This is the church (Col 1:18) VI. The Dragnet (iv 1750) 1. The sea The sea in Scripture disputes peoples or multitudes (10m 73; Rev 17:15) 2. The dragnet. The dragnet cast into the sea means the sowing of the seed by the Son of Man 3. The dragnet drawn to the shore when full means that when Gods purpose for the present age is full, account will be taken of the results. 4. The separation made by the angels. This will take place at the end of the age. 5. The destiny of the bad fish. The angels shall sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire where there shall be wailing and grashing of teeth. The Bravest Men Our bravest men are often those of whom the world bears the least. Life to them is a constant struggle. They meet their obstacles every day and pass them in allence.—Presbyterian Record. When You Are Right When you are in the right stand up for it, no matter if the heavens fall; if you lose every friend you have. God will raise up others who will be better.—D. L. Moody. B I P E W, J. W. HAVES. 653 Wabash Avenue SUNDAY FEBRUARY 23, 1933 Subject: 'The Value of the Bible in New Christian Nations.' Non-Christian Nations. Text: Isa. 55:8-11; Luke 8:11-15. "Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." In all nations where the Bible became known the people who sat in darkness saw a great light. The value of the I. I. cannot be estimated. It tel's from whence we came, it gives a standard of conduct, it puts to way of salvation and I. lifts the vault of the future. The thoughts of God and His ways are body. Our ways are not worthy to be compared, however, as we thin his thoughts and walk His ways, we become more like Him. I'll word shall not go forth in vain it will prosper and through it the purposes of God shall be accomplished. The seed is the word of God, wherever it falls on good soil the harvest follows. The character of the seed remains the same but soil's differ. If we can imagine ours ves role of the Bible and its influence upon our life and in a place where they are not we can glean a vague notion of its value in non-christian nations. After a brief period of this experience how narcissous the contrast if the Bible should again immedately appear. The Bible has revolutionized society. It has given a standard of Christian conduct; it has built homes churches, hospitals, schools and institutions for the poor. It will take eternity to calculate the value of the Bible in non-Christian lands.

Our Contracts Are Easy to Understand DAIRY PRO= DUCTS GOSPEL STORY A MESSAGE TO THE MINISTER AND LAYMAN OF THE CHURCH (continued from first page) ing to give a lift to others who were bound down with grief or care, such a life is an ornament to the doctrine of God. Ministers, God has designed that it should be our privilege to cooperate in making the Christian faith attractive, and the world is justified in looking for, working models of that professed faith, in asking what kind of life is produced by it. Missionaries have often told that the reception of the Gospel message is greatly hindered by the lives lived by those from Christian lands. The heathens fail to see the value of this new teaching if it produces what they behold; it would not be difficult to point out the young fairness of the cheap smers that are muttered at the church, and its members. Yet it is altogether too true that the power of the church is a witness in the world is often snapped by the young Christ-likeners of its members; you can take it from me that the Christian is the world's Bible, and just now a revised version is badly needed. Paul tells us that every disciple is an epistle known and read of all men, and of course others will be affected by the reading. A modern writer says that as a law clerk he used to watch from an office window a trio of men taking their daily walk, and he adds, 'I'm a better man today for having seen them.' He tells of how they awakened in him an intense feeling of reverence because he knew them to be simple, so unconscious, so sincere; yet think you, as they walked that city street, they ever imagined that a young law student was washing them in that life, was being made the better and grander to him because he looked upon men who were adorning the doctrine. The very presence of some men in stores or offices, are gathering our community, making the atmosphere pure; it is well for us to ponder over these things, to ask the only one who can make these things right to grant to us procession as well as profession, that the general effect of our lives upon others may be as God intended. Have we touched others injuriously or helpfully with the people who come in contact with us in our home life, our business life, our recreational life, have had a better chance if we had never crossed their path, night they have thought more of him if they had not seen us? Are we in the sanctuary talking the higher life on Sunday and in the whirls of business or pleasure, living the other lower life, the other six days of the week? Serve the Lord with gladness, may be read for many a scroll on church walls, but the phrase is not to be merely associated, with church wall and Sabba'h School teachers, in prayer meeting look again at the story of the Good Samanitan. We have invested with a certain halo as though it were removed from life's common talk, it is an illustration of how we may serve the Lord by intermingling heaven's love and mercy with our daily tools and therefore glorify each day and duty; day by day we are permitted to command His Gospel of cheering words and helping hands of the Gospel of Peace. No other religion has dared to comthree such ideas as the Fatherhood God and the Brotherhood of Man Stand fast and preach the Gospel. in the cross of Christ I glory.
