Nef York, Nov. 14. - Three Senators, one Republican, two Dem- ocrats, a Democratic Lieutenant Gov- nor on a Republican State Senator have expressed their thanks to Wal- White, Acting Secretary of the National Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People for all rendered them in the recent election of colored voters. From the Republican Senator, Arthur Capper, of Kansas, who kept taith with his colored constituents by voting against the seating of Judge John J. Parker on the Supreme Court bench comes the following: "I wish you to know that your assistance is greatly appreciated. I think the Negro vote was practically solid for me. I shall con- to stand for justice to the Negro as I have always stood. Do not hesitate to command me whenever I can be of service to you or the Association." Robert J. Bulkley, Democrat, elected in place of Rosco C. McCullough in Ohio writes: "I am very much appreciative of the important part which you played in bringing about the splendid result on election day. Please keep in touch with me as you know that I want to help all I can in your work." Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, Democrat endorsed by the N. A. A. C. P. for his vote against Parker, writes: "Thanks for your message and more for your loyalty and invaluable aid toward the gratifying result. It was a smashing victory." Ileuentant Governor Herbert H. Lehman of Nem York, writes as follows: 'I want to thank you sincerely and very heartily the rplindid support and cooervation I received. I can assure you it was very helpful and I am grateful for I WANT IIT NOW I waited that utterance. Inconsequent to comprehen l. And thought 'erase what may be the end "I want it now." is often heard. And "I'thoc cannot wa t On such things as circumstance Or whims of fickle fate, For, what I want, I want it now, And, little does it matter how!" With indignation crises, s punjabapun jounes it omines "I want it now," is the demand "I must have it today, No matter what the consequence, Nor price that I must pay; I say, like Omar, Take the cash, And let the credit go-" to smash." It would be well for everyone this axiom to know: That oftenten men, 'Too fast arrives As tardy as too slow.' And it is truth, indeed, that 'ha to' Will almert surely end in "waste."

WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, NOV. 28, 1930 IMMEDIATE AND ULTIMATE By R. A. Adar, 1 "I want it now;" "I can't wait;" "I just must have it now;" these are expressions characteristic of this fever'ah, impatient age. A young man wants an education; he has not the patience to wade through he skims, borrows, rides, "non's" and he makes it though; but when the real test comes he is, "wolghel and found wanting." An individual wants money; the process of labor is too slow; he takes what seems to be the easiest and the quickest way. He loses the little that he has in some get-rich quick scheme or engages in some unlawful pursuit, and pays the penalty. A young married woman tries to shine in society; she wants a car; she wants to entertain herself; she wants more to spend and fine clothes, "and everything"; and she wants them now! The husband tries to reason, but she will not listen; he knows the danger, but he fears to displease her; he resorts to dishonesty, perhaps he forges a note, a check, or an endorsement. The family is disgraced and the prominence that would have come ultimately and substantially is made impossible by the woman's imprudence and her insistent demand for the immediate. In the Bible we have the lesson of the two builders. One was important; he was in a hurry; he could not wait. He built his house on the sand with the usual results, disappointment and destruction. The other man wanted ultimate and substantial results, therefore, he took time, plenty of time, and built his house upon a rock—"And it fell not because it was founded upon a rock." Better take time and build substantally. HUTCHINSON, KS. The local Masonic lodge No. 30 will present to the public an enter- DARROW BREAKS DOWN SEGREGA TION ATTEMPT AT WASHINGTON MEETING NEW YORK. Nov. 21, 1930--A firm stand by Clarence Darrow of the N. A. A. C.P. National Legal Committee, broke down an attempt at segregating colored people in a meeting held Nov. 18 in Washington, D.C., it was made known today. The meeting in the Washington auditorium was an "all star forum" in which Clarence Darrow as an Agnostic explained why he was an Agnostic; Rabbi Abiram S'mon explained why he was a Jew; Quin O'Brien he was a Catholic and Jason Jobe Pierce why he was a Protesta: 11 Nov. 14, the Washington, D. C. Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. learn ed that arrangements were being made to segregate colored people at the meeting, the manager of the auditorium stating badly that colored people could obtain seats in the gallery only. Mrs. Emma T. G. Merritt, President of the Branch, got in touch with the various speakers, in an effort to persuade them to withdraw from speaking unless the meeting were open to all people alike None of the speakers would make the issue, save only Mr. Darrow, who was finally reached by Walter Whitee, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. in New York. Mr. Darrow promptly elegraphed the management objecting to the segregation. "It was therefore the so-called Agnostic who did the Christian thing, viz., broke down segregation once at least," comments Rev. Robert W. Brooks of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church of Washington in writing to the N. A. A. C. P. his thanks and pledge of loyalty. Says Rev. Brooks in his letter to the N. A. A. C. P. "As I told you over the telephone the management of this affair had already set apart the seats in the gallery of the auditorium for Negroes. Within an hour after Mr. Darrow's telegram was received, Negroes could buy tickets anywhere in the house. We feel that a great victory was won in that they were forced to change a policy of segregation that they are trying hard to maintain." Mrs. Merritt states: "The Darrow 'open-door' to all policy worked, and seats are being secured wherever desired." tainment that will be sure to please Watch for further rotices. The Salt City Harmonizers sang for Billy Sunday at the convention hall and they made a big hit. The quartet is composed of all ladies and they are unusual for a group of singers in this section of the country. Mr. Raymond Carter was elected here Tuesday night to be the head or leader of the U.

A tree will be had so the kiddies and all are requested to come and but their presents on the tree. Mrs. Edna Lewis joined the Second Baptist church last Sunday, wife of Chestr I. Lewis, prominent leader in this community. Rev. J. I. Williams, of Wichita, preached at the church last Sunday. Atty. Wm. D. Harrison is kept busy in and ut of the city with his legal affairs. Mrs. J. W. Green who has been JUST KIDS.— A Dilemma GLEE IF I GO IN I'll GET A LICKIN' FER FIGHTIN' AN' IF I DON'T GO IN ILL GET A LICKIN' FER STAYIN' OUT — I WONDER WUZ I BORN ON FRIDAY OR SOMPIN'? Taking a "Friend's Husband". Leave the Jumping Jackass Where He Is...Pass Ub tho Dud...If You Can (Take Him Some Other Woman Will Take Him from you. (Note: For advice write Maxie Miller, Literary Service Bureau, 634 Patanklin Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. For personal reply send postage. (Literary Service Bureau) Now, good friends, I wonder what you think of a letter like this and of a case like this. If you are nory mal you will agree with me. Dear Maxie Miller: I am up a tree and I want you to help me down. My best friend's husband is in love with me, and with shame I confess that I care a great deal for him. Would it be very mean to take him from her, if he does not love her any more? But when I begin to feel ashame something constantly reminds me that she took him from his other wife, and for me to take him would not be any more wrong than what she did. When she was taking him from his other wife, and friends criticised her, she laughed and said, "All's fair in love and war;" so why shouldn't I give her some of her own medicine? This man wants to divorce her and marry me, but I know she never would forgive me. What shall I do? Tell Me. Well, "Tell Me," the first thing I shall tell you is that you are a simpleton of the first water to even consider such a thing as taking this man. I am not in sympathy with your friend who was wicked enough to "take him" from his other wife. I under these conditions you would do this friend a service, for this would be "good riddance of bad rubbish," but I am thinking of you and your felly?" You would be foolish, because the same thing would happen to you. If your friend took him, and you can take him from her, don't you realize that some one else would "take him" from you! No doubt he was "just wild about" the others, vet in each case his love waned and he was taken. Now, how do you reason that you can keep him? How do you get that way? How could you make him "stay put?" Now "Tell Me," this man is a jumping jackass. He covets a green pasture, but soon tires of the grass and jumps into another. You might hold him for a while, but ultimately some other woman would "take him." Let the spineless, and brainless, jelly fish of a dud alone. Let your friend hold him as long as she can. He is not worth the loss of her friendship. Five Cents Per Copy. NOTED DEVINE PAYS VISIT COFFEYVILLE, KANS. Nov. 1930 Dr. E. W.

Mem- ber of Faculty, Mount Bibla Institute of Chicago) (CA, 1938 Western Newman Union) Lesson for November 30 ZACCHAEUS THE PUBLICAN, A BUSINESS MAN CONVERTED LESSON TEXT—Luke 19 1-10 GOLDEN TEXT—For the son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost PRIMARY TOPIC - A Man Who Thought Jesus Would Not Care INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Religion Changes One's Life YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Making Business Christian 1. Jesus Passing Through Jericho (v. 1). Jericho is noted as the stronghold of the Canaanites, which was miraculously delivered into the hands of Israel in response to their faith (Losh, 6), and also for the faith of Rahab which saved her from destruction with the city (Ichh, 11:30, 31). It was thus noted as a city where faith and unbelief played against each other. It was hitting that Jesus should pass through Jericho. Faith and unbelief again were manifested Two notorious sinners. Rahab and Zacchneus, were saved at Jericho. II. Zacchusus Seeking Jesus (vv. 2-1) 1. Hla objet (v. 3). He sought to see who Jesus was. Though perhaps prompted by curiosity, he engender sought Jesus. 2. His difficulties (vv. 2. 3). (1) His infamous business (v. 2). He was a tax collector for the Roman government. The very fact that a Jew held such an office under the hated Romans would make him extremely unpopular. Then, since he was rich, it was evident that he had practiced extortion in collecting the taxes. Many men and women have a hard time in coming to Christ because of their questionable business relations. (2) His shortness of stature (v. 3). He was too small to crowd his way through to Jesus, and being hated by the people they had thrust him aside. 3. His persistence (v. 4). He ran before the multitude and climbed up into a tree. What he lacked in stature he was determined should be made up by the height of the tree. Though Zacchaeus' legs were too short to enable him to see Jesus they were long enough to run past the crowd and enable him to climb the tree. III. Jesus Finding Zacchaeus (vv. 5, 6). While Zaccchaeus was trying to see Jesus, Jesus was looking for him. This is always the case. When desire is attired up in a heart to see Jesus, Jesus is seeking that one. When Jesus saw him he commanded him to come down from the tree and declared his intention to go home with him. Zaccchaeus got more than he expected. Jesus called him by name. He did not utter a word which would humiliate Zaccchaeus. Jesus knew his heart's desire and dealt accordingly with him. All souls who earnestly seek Jesus shall be found of him. How wonderful his grace, that regardless of one's past life, Jesus will receive him as a friend and enter into fellowship with him. Zaccchaeus quickly responded. He came down and with joy received Jesus. IV. Zacchacau' Conversion (vv. T-10). His conversion was sudden and thorough. He was converted before he had reached the ground. 1. What the crowd said (v. 7). They said just what they say today when sinners come to Christ. They call to mind the man's former sins. They also reproached Christ, saying that he had gone to be a guest of this notorious extortioner, the tax collector. That for which they reproached Jesus was his glory. His supreme mission was to save sinners (v. 10). 2. What Zacchacau' said (v. 8). His conversion was thorough. It took hold upon his heart. His new life began with resolution and restitution. He dedicated half of his goods to the poor. The man who a little while ago was a grüfter was now a generous giver. His conversion got hold of his pocketbook. His determination to make restitution wherein he had wrongly exacted taxes shows the genuineness of his conversion. While God forgets the past of a sinner when he comes to Christ, the sinner who is converted will seek to right all wrongs, he they unkind words or unrighteous deeds. Narrow for sin is not enough when restitution is possible. 5. What Jesus said (vv. 9, 10). "Today is salvation come to thy house." The publican was now a child of God, a son of Abraham. Salvation is a present reality when one receives Christ. A Life of Ease There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease, whose name is worth remembering — Roosevelt.
