Fines, the chorister, were the solos rendered. There was a good attendance and the congregation assembled, listened to and enjoyed the splendid address delivered by Capt. W. L.

Convention ratified its regular annual session, with a half of young people present, backed by many older and reliable wonders of the State. The Convention theme was "It is the purpose of God, the Father to keep Ill Saints through faith unto salvation."

Lee was late, his eldest mate, Rev. P. D. Skirner, gave us a very tangle summary. Much time was used in this session getting organized for our work. The criticism and comments were very helpful and were taken in a lovely spirit. The Vice Pres.-Lect.

New-ho had charge of the program and made things very lily and felicit. Koc, O. M. Locust, brought us a great message, real food for thought on 'He Helps Us In Our Decisions and keeps Us In the Way.' Another great message was delivered by Rev. A. L. Gancher on "The Lord Jesus' Righteoure a Will Make Us Blameless in That Day." It was well prepared and delivered. Rev.

Certainly this man of God delivered the true and contrasting words of God. Then the remainder of the time was given to Sister Watson. Everyone present was thrilled by the stirring truths that she told of the people with whom she is so gloriously sacrificing the best of her life that they might also serve the God, who is so good to all. Many interesting things were told by this true servant of God. —Eyclan E. Vanderfoid. Every boy years for the great out doors, for the time when mothers call will not halt his adventurous spirit as it carries him deep into the woods, and when he can see the unfolding of nature, in its majestic beauty, and learn practical lessons of life. To turn an unsympathetic ear to this desire of youth is depressing him of probably one of the most wholesome and lasting experiences of young life. The "Y" Camp offers this great experience to your Boy, and he carefully await your affirmative reply. Approximately fifty miles away from the city noise, traffic, and distracting influences, nestled in a cool deeply wooded valley, with a lake for fishing and every canal aquatic port, this picturesque camp preerts a haven for boys, a vaalion that is unqualified. The small is not more than the average Boys' demand in the daytime of every day life, and is the largest character developing investment you can make. Call the "Y" today and make certain that your boy will be one of the 40 who will be registered for the "Y" Camping period Nothing Lut boys during this session and they will have a real caming experience.

Federation of Colored Women's Club, under the leadership of Mrs. Kathine Helm as president cannot be given too much praise and creditor the splendid work, and the way in which it conducted the affairs of entertaining the 30th Annual Session of the Kansas State Federation of Colored Women.

A., and the county room for the Tau Dalta girls, at W. W.ta University. Besides this they have given their usual amount of charity in the community, also donating to the Community Chest. This organization I composed of 12 Club with 150 women, all working in harmony and love. In making their reports at the last meeting Friday, after all bills had been paid, they have in Treasury a balance of $150.00. On taking over this organization he began with four clubs, no money in the treasury, and approximate an hold time of about $00.00 but in two yeartime all indebtments had been paid, and ever since, the way has been kept clear of debt. It is with much regret, that the city Federation allowed Mrs Helm to reeve as their President, but we have in the newly elected officers the work will continue to "carry on."

MOVING OUT OF THE MUD In the opinion of Timeon Covert, of the Department of Interior, there are many rural communities which do not realize the value and necessity of good reads. To bring the need before them, educational campalgrs are necessary. Mr. Covert gives an illumination a community which wished to consolidate its small schools into one strong, centralized institution. But it was found that, due to unimproved roads, pupils could not be transported to school in bad weather. The community then studied road building. Data was collected; the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads and the State Highway Commission furnished assistance; debates were held and problems worked out. A scientific system of all weather roads resulted. "Today," in the words of Mr. Covett, "one may see big, powerful motor buses transporting pupils regularly over good roads to the central school in that community. The farmers have moved out of the mud, so to speak. It was found in the school project that most of the money spent for road improvement would remain in the community that transportation over good roads would bring a good 12-grade school within reach of every boy and girl; that farm product could be marketed over surface roads on any day in the year; and that all the provements which no one would now think of doing without, could be brought about at a reasonable outlay of funds. PROBLEM GREATER THAN RAILROAD REGULATION The Oregon Public Service Commission and the Inter-state Commerce Commission are seeking to force the Oregon - Washington Railroad and Navigation Co to build a railroad line in Central Oregon. The railroad is seeking an injunction against the order. The case will no doubt go to the highest court in the land. The final decision will effect every railroad in the United States and have a bearing on the power of a regulatory body over every public utility in the country. The question at issue is, How far may the government go in directing the investment of a railroad's capital in new lines or extensions? To what degree may it interfere with a railroad's business policy in development of its system? Do Certificate of Convenience and Necessity laws which may protect a road from unnecessary competition, justify government compulsion to force a road so protected to develop its territory in accordance with the judgement of the Commission and contrary to the judgment of the company and stockholders who must furnish the money? Is the power of regulation to be extended to permit public officials the right to exercise executive management without any of the corresponding responsibilities of railing carriages, earning dividends and paying public taxes. It is contended that the railroads should submit to an order to extend their lines because of alleged benefits conferred upon them by the transportation Act, but it must be remembered that Congress drew the terms of the act and forced it in upon the roads. If a law can be forced on one class of property on the theory that it is of benefit and then in return for that altered benefit public authority can claim the right to spend the beneficiary's capital against his will, a system of property confiscation is established by law which will be franchising in its effect. The problem involved in this case is much greater than one of railroad regulation. The courts will decide whether in this case the commissions demand more of the railroads than an invariant for what protection the Transportation Act may give them. Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson 1978 REV P R FITZWATER D D Mem bar of Faculty, Monday Bible Institute of Chicago © 1930 Western Newspaper Company Lesson for June 29 REVIEW: THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM CONTINUED GOLDEN TEXT—The art the Christ, the Son of the living God PRIMARY TOPIC-Making Jesus Known JUNIOR TOPIC-Believing in Jesus INTERRIMATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -What shall I do with Jesus? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Meaning of Christian Discipleship The plan of review must always be determined by the teacher in the light of the grade of the school and the aptitudes of the pupils for senior and adult classes the best method will be to recall that all the lessons of the quarter are from the book of Matthew, which has as its theme Jesus Christ, the Messiah King, and His Kingdom, and to present each lesson in its relation to this central purpose. The lessons have a threefold unity, namely, one book, one theme, one person. Lesson for April 6 To prepare the disciples for the dark hour of the cross, Jesus sought to lead them to a clear apprehension of his purpose and mission After Peter's confession of Jesus as the Messiah Jesus showed to the disciples that he must come into the place of triumph through the tragedy of the cross Lesson for April 13 The greatest in the kingdom are those who possess did the humility The condition of an entrance into the kingdom is true conversion, or birth above. Lesson for April 20. In this lesson we have divine instruction us to be havarior in case of ill treatment. Those who are Christlike shall suffer persecution. Those who have entered the kingdom by birth from above—those who have resolved forgiveness from God—will forgive their fellows. Lesson for April 27. Ritches are deceitful. Possessors thereof are prone to put their trust in them. It is most difficult for those who are rich to give place to spiritual things. Lesson for May 4. Those who would be greatest in the kingdom should, like Christ the King, take the place of self enslavement. In love, Christ gave Himself for others. He substituted "the greatness of love for the love of greatness." Lesson for May 11. To the nation which rejected Jesus as King and was endeavoring to kill Him at the appointed time, in the councils of God, He officially presented Himself as King, in fulfillment of prophecy. Lesson for May 18 Under the figure of a marriage, Jesus set forth the privileges and benefits of the kingdom He used marriage, the highest ideal of love and friendship known to man, to show the benefits of the kingdom. Lesson for May 25 In the Olivet discourse Jesus outlined the events in the world to take place in the interior between His crucifixion and His second coming. The parable of the ten virgins shows the right behavior of believers in this present age in view of the coming of the Lord. Lesson for June 1. By talents is meant whatever faculties and powers one possesses as God's gifts, such as physical strength, reason, knowledge, speech, song, or money. All these should be employed so as to honor that who gave them. A reckoning time is coming when account shall be rendered for their use. This will be at Christ's second coming. Lesson for June 8 Mary of Bethany, because of her keen apprehension, saw that the Lord's body would be broken and that His precious life would go out at a time when no one could lovingly mutilate Him. She therefore instituted Him as against that cruel day. When the disciples criticized her act, she was defended by Jesus. Lesson for June 15 — Jesus did not die as a martyr or as an example, but to make an atonement for man's sin. The supreme value of the lessons for the quarter centers in the cross. Teachers, it is not a matter of giving your children to learn the lessons of a great teacher, but to induce them to have faith in Christ's sacrificial death. Lesson for June 22. The resurrection of Jesus demonstrated His Messiahship and deity. The command of Jesus to preach the gospel in all the world is backed by His resurrection power. The Oil of Joy Christianity wants nothing so much in the world as surly people and the old are hungrier for love than for I read, and the oil of joy is very cheap, and if you can help the poor on with the garment of praise it will be better for them than blinkers—Henry Drummond A Moral Pivot The Hindu professor of modern history in a south India college said to me: "My study of modern history has shown me that there is a Moral Plot in the world today, and that the best life of both East and West is more and more revolving about that center—that Moral Plotting is the person of Jesus Christ."—H. Stanley Jones. Force of Character Necessary The most brilliant qualities become useless when they are not sustained by force of character.—Segur. R V P U. LESSON BY KEY J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue JUNE 29. GREAT MISSIONARY LEADERS Eph. 3:7, 8; 4:11-13. The great Missionary leaders of all ages have been God's Key Men. They have led the forces in carrying out the program given in the Great Commission: "Go Make Disciples." The leaders of Mission are not manmade but are wrought by the mighty working of His power. God creates, saves and prepares men and women for the mission task. It is first of all His Divine choice. Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you and orained you. Paul is humbled as a Missionary leader when he thinks of himself as a Divine choice. I am less than the least of Saints. "When I am Weak then am I Strong." God is rich in His resources. He has a man for every place and a place for every man. The purpose of God is to perfect the Saints and build up the Church. Faith, unity and sanctify the people. THOUGHTS Great Missionaries are men of great faith. Great Missionary leaders are men with a great passion for souls. The soul of mission is the Spirit of Christ. Every saved man should be a man savior. Great Missionary leaders forget that they are leaders because they are so busy following Christ. The men who have led the world, have been men whom the world could not lead. God's promises never fail.— I am with you to strengthen, comfort and protect. True leaders are men who go before the crowd in the right direction. True leaders are so interested in where they are going that they forget what it costs.

The Negro Star—for the Good of the People FEDERAL APPEALS COURT UPHOLDS NEGRO'S RIGHT TO VOTE IN VIRGINIA PRIMARY Ashville, N. C., June 13, 1930 The United States Circuit Court of Appeals today ruled that the Democ- tric party in Virginia could not debar Negroes from participating in in primary elections. This decision marks an important victory in the long and successful campaign of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against attempts at disfranchisement of Ne- gro voters in southern states. Today's decision of the Appeals Court affirms decision by Judge D. Lawrence Groner of the Federal District Court, at Rekland in the case of James O. West v. A. C. Bliley, William Boltz and William Richer the three defendants being Democratic Judges in the precinct in Richmond in which Mr. West lives, the light to participate in the Demo-Three Judges denied to Mr West creatic Primary of April 3, 1928, refusing on the basis of the ruling by the Democratic party limiting participation in its primary elections to whites. Today's oathion was written by Judge Llhott Nythcutt of West Virginia and was concurred in by District Judges W. E. Baker, also of West Virginia, and William C. Coleman of Baltimore. The decision says in art: "If all the political parties in the State of Virginia incorporated the same qualifications in their rules and regulations as did the Democratic party, nobody could participate in the primary except white persons and other persons would be deprived of a material right guaranteed to them under the Constitution as amended: That is, the right to participate in the selection of candidates to be voted for in the election. It will be remembered that the dischallenge method thus out by today's decision follows successful efforts of the N. A. A. C. P. argument state laws barring Negroes from participation in Democratic pal- maries. In the case of Nixon v. Herndon, carried to the United States Supreme Court by the N. A. A. C. P. that Court, in 1927, ruled such laws unconstitutional. Following that decision various NOTICE! To the Officers and Workers of the Southeastern District Association & Auxiliaries: I am asking all of the workers, especially the pioneer workers, who intend to have their pictures in the souvenir program, which will contain the History and Constitution of the District, to send their pictures to the Rev.

P. immediately proceeded to act against this subterfuge. The case of West c. Bliley is one of the four actions begun to test the validity of this legislation The N. A. A. C. P. is financing the Virginia and Texas cases and has rendered legal and financial assistance in similar actions in Florida and Arkansas. It is expected that appeal will be taken by the Virginia authorities in the present case to the United States Court, in which event the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is prepared to continue its efforts until a decision is issued from the United States Supreme Court which will void such disfranchisement not only in Virginia, but in all states.
