During these 18 years in football Morehouse has won four southern conference championships for one, and run second place or five. Twenty two cahools were layed, a total of eighty two games, thirty of which Morehouse won, three f which were tied, and nineteen of which were lost.

In basketball Harvey-coach teams won the southern conference championship ten consecutive years from 1916 to 1900, and again in 1929, and were claimants for National College's Title in 1923-24 and 1924-25. Of a total of one hundred five games played over the period, only nine teen were lost. In baseball Harvey coach teams have won four southern conference championships, tied for two and run second for two.

He has served as President of the Southern Coaches Association since its organization in 1925. President of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association for two years, and this year as President of the Collegiate Athletic Conference Beginning with the fall of 1929 Mr. Harvey will devote his full time to the Department of Chemistry and the editing of the Morehouse Journal of Science.

MISSIONARY BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION USES TWO DAYS THEME: "COD'S OWNERSHIP AND MAN'S STEWARDSHIP" ANNUAL MEETING From the 20th to the 31st of October the Association will hold its annual meeting in Cleveland, Ohio. The headquarters will be at Cleveland College. It is expected that there will be much interest aroused and that a considerable number of persons who have manifested interest in this work The meeting will be followed by a sight seeing tour which will include a visit to Oberlin and other historic places in the Western Reserve Prominent persons of both races are very much interested in this meeting. Upon the request of Miss Jane E. Hunter of the Phillis Whealey Association and Mr. Alonzo G. Grace, of the Adult Education Association of Cleveland, the Association decided to meet in this year. These persons have, therefore, been active in keeping the matter before the binking elements of the city that a warm welcomen and a profitable stay may be assuised. Working to this end, the citrens thus interested have organized a Committee of the Association for the Study of Negro Life History with the Honorable Harry E. Davis as chairman. Other persons on this committee are Dr. Ferdinand Q. Blanchard, Mr. Henry M. Busch, Dr. Charles H. Garvin, Hon. John D. Marshall, Dr. Arthur S. Scott, Mr. Russell W. Jelliffe, Miss Jane E. Honter, Miss Mildred Chad'ey, Mr. Harold T. Clark, Mr. J. E. Cutler, and Attorney Alexander H. Martin. This committee, however, will be enlarged so as to include about seventy other citrens whose names cannot now be given. The topics to be considered at this meeting will be determined by the procedure of discussing not what peculiarly concerns the Negro but things of significance which will be helpful to both races. The discussions will deal with the importance of local history, the changing economic life, the problem of rapid urbanization, and methods for amelioration. Addresses will be delivered on primitive religious life of the Negro in its present bearing, the nrt of the Negr1 as influenced by African beginnings, the Haitian situation, the mental capacities of the races, the influence of the Negro in world history, and the present statue of the Negroes in the United nation, whenample time cannot be all-States. These features will be made enjoyable by numerous social functions now being arranged by the committee in charge in Cleveland. The earlier sessions will be so arranged as to allow time to get acquainted and to exchange views at short range that in the later sessions these associations may be productive of greater good than be expected from hearing one or two persons at each session, when ample time cannot be allowed for numerous questions which have arisen here and there in the work of those who will attend the conference. soning and accepted the many good words of welcome.

For these all men must first secure To take life's flight and still endure. But since I can't restart the flight, I'll now reverse from left to right. That is confess, and then repent And leave my life to Gol's intent. EDWARD EZFELL CONWELL. MARY TALBERT BRANCH Y. W. C. A.

Sunday was a big day all day, starting with a demonstration of a Model S. S.. A great missionary mass meeting at which time Mrs. Frances B. Watson delivered an eye opening address concerning Africa and the much needed work among the natives. Dr. G. N. Jackson was in charge. The musical numbers by Mrs. Webb, and Mrs. N. B.

He stepped on the gas and told them many things that were (Continued on page A) I have to Advertise—Try the Star— GET RESULTS—DIAL 3-1143 1241 WABASH AVE. SundaySchool Lesson (Bp REV P. B. PITWATER D. D. Member of Faculty, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (6. 1928, Newspaper Union) Lesson for October 19 SIMEON AND ANNA: THE INSIGHT OF THE PURE IN HEART LESSON TEXT—Luke 2 28-39. GOLDEN LENT-Blessed are the pure in heart for they still see God PRIMARY TOPIC—Being Glad for God’s Best Gift IC—How to Know Jesus YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—How Wisdom Depends on Character. The lesson title is somewhat misleading in that it implies that the insight of Simeon and Anna was due to their purity of heart, whereas it was due to the fact of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Those indwelt by the Spirit will be pure in heart, but not all the pure in heart have such insight. 1. Simeon (Luke 2:25 35). 1. His character (v. 23). (1) He was just. That is, honest and upright in all his dealings with men. We are not told what his occupation was, but we are assured that he was a man trusted by all who knew him. If he were a merchant, his customers got the kind of goods represented with full weight and measure. In spite of the corruptions of his time, he did not take advantage of his fellow men in business deals. (2) Devout. He was just because he was God fearing. Many boast of their mortality while unwilling to bow their knees to God in prayer. (3) He looked for the Messiah. God's word had promised that Christ should come. He believed in the truthfulness of that word. The same word that told of Christ's first coming tells of his second coming (Hebrews 9:28). While waiting for the Messiah, he kept faithfully discharging his duty. Intelligent looking for the coming of Jesus Christ means diligence in daily duties, not idly gazing into the heavens. (4) The Holy Spirit was upon him. This was the secret of his godly and practical living. The Christ-like life is only possible to those who are filled with the Holy Ghost. 2. Ils reward (vv. 20-28). The Holy Spirit revealed unto him that he should see the Messiah before he died. At the appointed time the Spirit led him into the temple where Joseph and Mary came to present Jesus to God. Simeon took him in his arms and blessed God. The most important event in every life is to see Christ. One has missed the greatest experience of life if he has not seen Christ. 3. Simeon's song (vv. 29-33). This is the Nunc Dimittis sung by Christians since the Fifth century, A. D. Simeon was now ready to die because he had seen God's salvation. Salvation is in and through Christ's atonement on the cross. No one is ready to die until he has seen God's salvation which was wrought out on Calvary's cross. 4. Simeon's prophecy (vv. 34, 35). (1) The meaning of Christ to the world (v. 34). Everyone is affected by Christ's coming. His presentation to man either results in their salvation or condemnation. There is absolutely no neutral ground. Personal attitude toward him determines all. (2) He shall be spoken against (v. 34). This has been fulfilled in every generation since its utterance. (3) Meaning to Mary (v. 35). This began to be fulfilled when she was obliged to flee Egypt in order for Jesus to escape Herod's sword. It was an intimation of what the end would be when she clasped her child to her bosom. Her heart was pierced againn and againn as human hate swept against her son. Its culmination was reached when she stood below his cross. II. Anna (Luke 2:36-39). She was irrepronchable. After a married life of only seven years, she had lived as a lonely widow for about eighty-four years, during which time she devoted herself to God. She was what Paul called "a widow indeed" (I Tim. 5:5). During these long years she endured many trials and temptations, leading a life of self denial for the sake of others. She was a woman of much prayer. 2. Her testimony (v. 33). She gave thanks and praise of him to all who were looking for redemption. She thus had fellowship with others who had this blessed hope. Though surrounded by wickedness, many were looking for the Messiah. No Room for Both How foolish are we if we attempt to entertain two guests so hostile to one another as Christ Jesus and Satan! Heat assured, Christ will not live in the parlor of our hearts if we entertain Satan in the cellar of our thoughts.—Charles H. Spurgeon. The best cure for the blues is some devoted work for souls in the white light of God's presence.—Gospel Banner. BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue CHRISTIANS AND SUNDAY Matt. 12:1-8 Sunday is the Lord's Day. The Christian is the Lord's Child. The purpose of the Lord's Day is rest and worship. Both man and beast need rest after six days labor; and man also needs worship. The church therefore should discourage Sunday labor and inspire worship. It is the day of the Son. Each Christian should honor the Son by honoring the day. Sunday is when the Christian world urites in proclaiming those principals for which Christ lived and died. It is an opportunity for all who believe in the Christ way to renew the Covenant with Him. eSil As Christians we should oppose anything that will in any way effect the purpose for which the day was intended. Holton, Kansas. News SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH It pays to advertise. If you walk through the business center of a town you will see signs of every kind. And yet these men seem to realize that signs alone are not enough. He pleads with you to try his articles, for they can best advertise his goods. A florist uses for his sign, "Say it with Flowers." If say it with flowers, the flowers not only speak for you but also for the florist. We have decided to "Say it both spiritual and physical.

After greeting me with a smile she said: "What are you doing to my boy to have him so interested in the club you have started with him and others his age?" I replied: "I'm simply trying to develop and ripen him into a Christian Citizen". She smiled and pledged her interest in the boy and urged me to keep up the good work. Lots of incorrect thinking and erroneous conclusions about the work of the Young Men's Christian Association would be changed if others would stop to take the time to ask the same question that mother asked and in the spirit she asked it. Again, many a boy would have a more wholesome attitude toward me and a better outlook on life if more parents would pledge themselves to take a keener interest in the things their chaps are interested in. How much more important are the little fellows' interests then we give them credit for being. Belittling his interests in 99% of the cases leads to trouble that could be easily avoided. There was once a business man whose business was tremendous. One day going to work in a hurry he stepped into the path of a moving car. His business Interest was abruptly checked. He thought it terrible to be checked so abruptly, and he was very impatient with his plight. He had a small son about two and one-half years old. One night the little son was playing beside the sick bed of his father. He was playing coal-man,—delivering coal to his customers. His father suddenly decided it was teutime tor the little fellow. He called the nurse and told her to take the little fellow to bed immediately. The nurse picked up the little fellow. He screamed and squirmed. His father said: 'What an awful temper that kid has. He must be whipped.' The little fellow was objecting to the same abrupt checking his father objected to. His delivery of the imaginary coal to the imaginary customer was just as important to him as his father's business was to him. His father could have easily said: come son, let us get ready to close the coal yard. It is night now. Deliver your last load tnd lets quit so your workmen might have a rest. Had he said that he could have spar ed the feelings of the little fellow and his own nerves. Mothers and fathers, consider the little fellows inarrests. To The Negro Star: Rev. J. S. Bowles of Dodge City, held services at the First Baptist Church of Edith, Oct. 7-8. Subject for Oct. 7: "Touch the hem of his Garment." Oct. 8: "Come Down and See Jesus.
