LETTER TO THE GLOBE Sees Fall of New York To The Globe:— I have the witness in my heart that Jesus Christ is the only Savior of the world. Now, my brehren, as I am an apostle of God, it is needful that I write this vision unto you. I was carried away in the Spirit to a high place where an angel talked with me. As we faced the East, there appeared an eagle that was rising instead of the sun. On the head of this eagle was a go'den crown full of stars, and his wings extended from the North to the South. Then the angel directed my attention to the West where I beheld every creature that had life, on the clouds. These creatures that had a cended up to the clouds to give reverence to the great eagle. He then directed my attention to our largest cities, and as I looked upon them, every city was drawn together in one place. Our largest city, which is New York, was shaken and immediately began to burn and to sink. Even the ground on which it was settling, sank as a sinking ship. I beheld people swimming about in the water trying to reach the ships which were anchored afar off from the destroyed city. Our other largest cities, although shaken at the time, did not fall for a short season. At the end of this time, their largest buildings began to fall. The peculiar part about these buildings was the giving away of their foundations on one side only. The rich men herded the poor together as a shepherd herding sheep. They forced the sick and the well to work on these buildings, to try to keep them from falling. I saw as soon as they had propped the building on one side, the other side of the foundation would give way. The rich men thought this was caused by the lack of speed of the workmen, so they compelled them to work faster and without water and the abuse they were given. Yet, the buildings crumbled to the ground, and it was impossible for the people to save them, because of the appearance of the great eagle. Being in the spirit, I asked the Lord what was the meaning of this vision and He showed unto me New York City, that it shall be destroyed with fire and water, and the remaining of America's riches shall be carried away into other countries. As the Lord liveth, this surely will come to pass. Be it known here that I write nothing of myself, but as the Holy Spirit has revealed these things unto me, I write them, 'this is me' 1. M. C. A.

Crudu shows, operated by the feet, sup- their for the first smelter. The sun is some 23 million miles away. We no. only know what element it contains but also their percentage. The microscope has made this possible. The automobile speed record in 1903 was 69.18 miles per hour. Last year it was raled to 231 miles. If there any limit to the speed at which no human being may project himself through space? A man is made of certain chemicals, positive protons and negative electrons. So is a frog. But who cannot recognize the difference between the clutch of a frog and the song of the poet? Every new paper has a "morgue." in some are kept a million photographs, as many clips, and hundreds of thousands of negatives on file for instant reference for the occasion. In moving pictures the automobile whels seem to trun backward because the camera clicks at the time when the next spoke is in the position the first one would have to be if the riot had been re-railed. This fools the eye of the camera. What gives the final thousands of miles through rain and storms back to its home resting places? Here is a miracle beyond the expiration of the electron or the vast organs whiling in outer spaces.

RACE ADJUSTMENT AND RACE RELATIONSP BY W. L. HUTHCERSON Executive Secretary, Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., and Secretary of The Commission on Interracial Good Wall, Wichita, (Kansas) Council of Churches.—Read before the Inten- tional Club Wichita (Municipal) Univer- sity, March 16, 1930. For a long time, the so called Race Problem in America was thought of almost entirely in terms of that geo- graphical section of our country, commonly referred to as "The South." and to Black-White relationship ps. This was due, primarily, to the fact that 75 per cent of all the Negroes in America—and the Negro represents the largest minority group, residing in that section. Then in 1914-18, we saw quite a p phenomenal thing happen; we saw immigration from Europe cut off. We saw, also, almost a half million Europeans return, to bear arms for their father and mother land. We saw further, the labor rank in the great industrial center depleted. Then America entered the war and great demands were made upon these great industries. A call was made for labor, at high wages. And behold! America saw over a million Negroes move across the imaginary Mason and Dixon Line, to fill the depleted ranks in the great industrial centers of the North, East and West. This stream has continued, and cities like Deroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Akron, Toledo, Gary, Philadelphia, and St. Louis, have found their Negro population doubled and quadrupled. In the very nature of the case, this has given rise to many grave and vexing social and economic problems, such as employment, labor relationship, residential sections, schools, churches, health and recreation; and today we find "Friction points," not only in Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis and Tulsa, but likewise in Gary, Washington, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Therefore, HON. MURDOCK TO SPEAK n. Victor Murdock, Editor of The Wichita Eagle, will speak, Sunday, April 13, 3:00 p. m., Monster Meeting for men and boys, at the Calvary Baptist Church, under aupices of Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A. We have been planning for five years, to have Mr. Murdock address our constituency. But this the first time we have been able to land him. No man in the nation has a more gripping message. Remember 3:00 p. m. Mr. A. A. Hyde will be our guest. the so called American Race Problem, is no longer a sectional, but neither a national one. Following in this same cycle, great board of Japanese, Chinese and Phillips poured into our West coast. Then followed that most inethical Exclusion Act. And we awoke to discover that our Race Problem was not merely a Black-White Problem. The Far East One cannot study the situation in India, today, without observing the implication of race. It is true, the major problem is political. But read, if you will, the life of Gandhi, or follow Kirley Page and Sherwood Eddy, on their present trip through India. You will observe a sense of repulsiveness on the part of those millions of Indians to the peleledo superiority of the British toward that proud people; with a culture and civilization, centuries old. Or go with Dr. Mott, on his recent tour of China, and while they rebel against unequal treaties and extra territories; they likewise resent the assumed superiority of the West, toward the East. This is equally true of the Phillipine Islands, Haiti, Nicaragua, Mexico and the West Indies. South Africa Or what shall I say of South Africa, where one and a half million of western people, with a more aggressive civilization and superior have gone in and by force taken the land from the natives and driven them—seven millions of black people—into the hills? Not only have the lands been taken but likewise in the industrial centers, like Johannaburgh, they are being exploited, economically and socially, with the result of a physical and moral breakdown, on the part of the natives. A World Problem Therefore, my friends, our problem of Race, is indeed, of world-wide scope, and must be dealt with on a world-wide basis. Therefore, those of us who are working at the problem, should bear in mind that we are dealing with a modern, world phenomena, and any solution or discovery we make, is of world-wide significance. America's Opportunity for a Solution First, let us use the situation here is America, where an attempt being made to find a solution. Let us picture the Negro as he emerges from 250 years of slavery. What should the world expect from a race, such as the Negro, who had to start just sixty-five years ago with four millions of their number as slaves. Even had these people been put into the Best institutions of the land, they would not have shown great improvement because they were "spiritually demoralized." The Negro had been cut off from all culture bearing institutions of life and in addi- Five Cents Per Copy. FORUM CLOSED IN HIGH It is human nature to save the best for the last, that we might keep a good taste in the mouth. Much culture enables one to grade toward the climax. In fact every one wants to stop in high if possible. This was demonstrated at the Forum last Sunday at the Y. W. C. A., when the Forum held its closing session with Dr. Mendenhall, President of Friends University, the speaker of the hour, from the subject, "Religion and Life." In such a smooth, cultured, philosophical and Christ-like way, did he reason with us that we felt a nearness to God and life. The world could not stand, very long, away from God with a number of men as clear on the doctrines and teachings of Jesus, as delivered by Dr. Mendenhall. He is a prophet, yea, a teacher for God and His Kingdom. The audience was not the largest we have seen in Wichita, but an audience of thinkers—more quality than quantity. Much credit has been given Rev. G. W. Winston for the wonderful program and enlightenment given out from the Forum; many are proud of the standard or height it has attained. Thus the Forum closed in high, at the top of the climax with a good intellectual and spiritual taste left with those in attendance. tion to all the other handicaps the freed slaves were surrounded by clouds of unbelief. What has been the contributions of the Negro to the American civilization: (1) A fundamental, healthy stock of human beings, who, in spite of the demoralizing ravages of slavery, are able to multiply themselves three times in as many decades, and who are able to maintain themselves. (2) The Negro is the most intellectually hungry group of persons among the American people today; having raised their standards of literacy since emancipation, for level where only 10 per cent of their number could read or write to a level where 90 per cent are able to read and write. (3) Various individual Negroes have passed the finite boundaries of science and are regarded as pioneers in the fields of experimental research. (4) The Negro has profoundly modified the philosophy of education, through a projection into education, one of the most powerful movements of intelligent comparison ever found in American life, has created a common sensical way of educating an imaginative people. It has been demonstrated that the two races can live here in America together, and make progress. Therefore, the question is one of relationships. I believe that the very acuteness of the race problem in America, in a call of God. For while we have the two most diverse races—Black and white—We also have two great unifying forces, Language and Religion. Therefore, we have here in America, a great laboratory for working out the great problem of human relationships. If these two races, representing extreme types, can live together in the United States they will demonstrate that two or more races can learn to live together anywhere. The future of other races and nations, is being determined in America. Let us keep in mind the fact that the steam engine, the gas engin electricity, the telegraph, the telephone, the radio and many other invertions of the last half century, have so speeded up transportation and communication that what were once considered foreign nations are now really our neighbors. Therefore if these two races, here, can make good, on this adventure, men will come from the East and come from the West, and come from the North and from the South, and will say to white men and black men, tell us how you did it, in order that we, ourselves may do it in India, China, Africa, Japan and the Islands of the seas. They will say to these two races, "Show us the way," and we will see racial antagonism around the world, melt into understanding and good will. y - tad ce : Ane wegro Star—tor the Good of the People 7+ “ ‘ - BE ew eg Yada *s + es | in wh. ‘he « 9) mts. iduanre. chad € ance.

School, with Eros Willie Neal, Supt. in charge Mrs. Sam Reeh, a lstart. Mrs. Maul Green, Secretary, all other officers and tachers in their places; a good lesson study and a splendid review by Rev. Jas. H. Scott, our Moderator, in which he made plain the subject of lesson, "The Law of the Cross." In that the law of the cross was to put to death on the cross, those who violate certain law. Jesus was charged with one of those and hang on the cross. Jesus gave Himself as a ransom and suffered to die on the cross that we might have eternal Life through Him; he also stressed that we are Christians should bear our crosses. 2nd the identity of us; for He aked, whom do men say that I the Son of Man am? In that question, He saw that He was looked upon as a prophet among outside people. The masterpiece of this verse that should appeal to us is to be identified with the people who are saved, as messengers for Jesus Christ. Then He asked His disciples. But whom say ye that I am? and here is Peter with the declaration, that Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Jesus said to Simon Litter, that he was meek, because of the revelation from God, and that, Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I'll build my church! The church was built upon the truth which is the Word of God, coming from God himself to Peter. Quite helpful was this review.

The text was based on the last three words; he brought out many good thoughts on the subject; one thought was: If the Lord should call us at any time and ask us, "Where Art Thou?" Would we answer as Adam? Or what would our answer be? Another thought is, that we should stay where Jesus pu's us and do the things He left here for us to do. "Where Art Thou?" mentally, spiritually and physically, would those beautiful lips, that he gave us be speaking for Him? Would those beautiful hands He gave us be toiling for Him? Would those beautiful feet He gave us be trodding the path that He trod? And the very last of all, would the soul be ready to return to the God that giveh?"

Zonite THE BEST WHISKEY THE BEST WHISKEY THE BEST WHISKEY THE BEST WHISKEY THE BEST WHISKEY "Give Me Electr Give Me Death exactly what Patrick Henry said to the First Contental Congress. What he really said was: "Give me Liberty or give me Death." Patrick, a polished orator, was given to propounding unusual phrases. He sincerely held to the belief that the Colonists had a right to oppose being taxed as long as the tyrant, King George, refused them a seat or two in Parliament. So he expressed his indignation in one of his speeches by proposing that he'd just as soon kick the bucket as go on kicking into George's coffers. Patrick could hardly be blamed for preferring death to despotism. If you can't be free, there isn't a great deal of pleasure in living. Suppose Patrick could have tasted a little Freedom—Model 1930. Suppose Patrick had had a chance FULL LINES OF FRESH MEATS AND VEGETABLES COOK-FOOD SALE SATURDAY WE DELIVER. to learn what liberty from drudgery, inconvenience and toil was. Had he been able to look a century or so ahead—he might have said: "Give me electricity or give me death." For today, electric service and freedom are synonymous. King George has nothing to do with giving you liberty today. Your liberty is awaiting a flip of your finger on a switch. It's electric service—ready to cook your meals, wash your clothes, preserve your food, light your home, clean your floors—ready to perform my tasks oftasks to bring you more freedom. Suit yourself—you can have as much Liberty through electricity as you want. KANSAS GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY "At Your Service" a inn oe
