dent Volunteer Movement which con-
vened in Kansas City the first of the
year is to the white people. The OBJ
ject of this Convention is, first, to
give to the present generation of
Negro students in the United States
a strong spiritual and moral impulse.
Second, to study with thoroughness
their responsibility for leadership in
Christian work at home and abroad,
thus bringing them face to face with
Christian life callings.
Third, to face the responsibility
resting upon the Negro churches OF
America to help the claims and crisis
of Africa.
Fourth, to consider what light
Christian though may throw on pres
ent and future cooperation between
the races. The Convention was a
complete success and all feel that a
greater organization does not exist.

Do not be alarmed because you
heard that some M said something
not complimentary about you. Peo-
pie have always said ugly things
about those who struggle to be, and
are achieving something; those
against whom there is nothing said,
anre negligible quantities-people
talk about those who are doing good,
You go ahead, like the ancient philo.
sopher, who, when he was asked by
an apparent friend, who really de-
sired to help the old sage, whot he
could do for him, replied: please
stand out of my sunshine" That is
all the ebert, energetic aspiring
young person asks; stand out of my

Mrs. Sarah ]. Wheeler an aged and
highly respected Colored Citizen of
Bonner Springs. Kansas, died at the
residence Of her daughter Mrs. Lock,
May IL at the age of SO. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. j. M.
Gilbert, Pastor of the First Baptist
Church, assisted by Rev. ]. B. Wal.
lace, Bonner Springs, Kansas. Mrs.
Wheeler had lived a clean, consistent
Christian life for more than so years.
-Four sons, two daughters. eleven
grandchildren and may relatives sur
vive her. She was a of great
physical endurance and strong char
acter, a pleasing and entertaining Con-
v~ersationalist and a ready reader of
human character. Her merory of pas
sages in the Holy Scripture was re-
markable. After fifty years of age she
learned to read readily many passages
from the Bible. Her remains we're
sent for enterment Monday morning
to Bucklin, Mo. accompanied by the
family and the Rev. DR.. Thomas. Pas
tor of Allen Chapel Mrs. Wheeler
has lived a long life. She has passed
away but she has left the world better
for having. lived in it. May her noble
life and christian character ever be an
inspiration to us all to so live and act
each day that when we have passed
away 1t can be said of us we made
the world better by having lived in it.
We connot say and we will not say
That Our mother is dead; she's just
away
With a cherry smile and a wave of the
hand
She has wandered into an unknown
land
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be since she fingers
there
The sweetest love of her life
She gave to simple things
The harsh chirp of the little brown
thrush
Was as dear to her as the sweet
notes of the Mocking bird.
And she pitied as much a writing
honey bee wet with rain
AS a human soul in pain
We will always think of her as the
same
She is not dead. She's just away.

Young men and women of our race
who are doing well upon the farms
or in the smaller towns should be con-
tented and stay away from the big
cities. The mad rush for city life is
making us all poorer financially and
weaker morally and spiritually. Stay
on the farm and build up something
substantial, something free from the
narrow, selfish greed of the city. The
meager, hand-to-mouth existence in
the metropolis has no compensation.
The imaginary joys of the city are in
most instances merely the paths of
peril and the roads of ruin.

Large numbers of boys and girls are
soon to be sent from the elementary
grades to the high school. Parents
should be vitality interested in this
epoch of the child life. There is more
danger in the child being sent to high
school too soon than in it's being kept
in the grade school too long. There
should be no "~railroading" for the
sake of mere numbers or to make a
vain showing. Such follies are only

tual lives.

the quiet city streets. with shops and
banks and warehouses all closed and dark.
to Whitechapel and the roads beyond.
where all the shops with their queer for

light. and the people move about their
business. You pass within the space OF
few minutes from city where II is
Sunday to another where the Sabbath
was yesterday.
