The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-12-26
AFRO-AMER|CAN CULL|NCS

We are permitted to live in a mar |
velous age. So many wonderful things
are happening each day that we
scarcely have time to read about them
and little opportunity to ponder their
significance. We, in the Southland,
read the morning papers report Of the
progress of the European war-Awfull
we exclaim, and then hurry to eagerly
search for the latest developments in
the cotton situation. We read, we
have faith and so we are encouraged
to hope for brighter days in spite Of
the fact that to the average of US
there is little said, that we understand,
to illumine the situation. One of the
causes contributing to our present
misfortune is a hopeless struggle to
grasp the meaning of giant problems
with III pygmy minds, while all
around us lie the simple, essential.
elemental conditions hat make up
life, which are easily understood and
practical, and which, if given a little
serious thinking, will transform this
vale of tears into a land of joyous
living.
There are some people in Texas,
though, who do appreciate small be-
ginnings and small things, and who
are really making things come to
pass. We should be thankful that
there are still a few farmers who are
not cotton crazy. A few farmers who
think of hogs, chickens and eggs to
raise a few, who like to eat vegetables
enough to raise a garden, who raise
enough corn to have ONE meal
ground for the old-fashioned antebel-
lum golden egg-bread, who use the
milk and butter from their own dairy
cows, and whose wives are just old
fashioned enough to make ~lye-hominy,
can surplus garden stuff and fruits
and make quilts to keep them warm
in the winter. This class of farmers
live at home and whether cotton sells
or not they will continue to live, to eat
and to enjoy some of the blessings Of
life.
The above is suggested by a meet
ing l attended in Waco, and about
which l want to tell the readers Of
the Houston Post. 1t was a meeting
of Negro farmers, about five hundred
of them, representing some ten thou
sand others who were at home in the
North, South, East and West Texas.
The 500 had been sent to Waco to
work in the nineteenth annual conven-
ton of the Farmers Improvement So
ciety of Texas. Here are some of the
things they did. They sang songs of
praise and prayed God for his bless
ing on their humble efforts with a
feTvor surprising anything | had ever
seen or heard in a church. They then
discussed, made demonstrations and
produced samples Of stuff they raised
or made illustrating selected subjects
pertaining TO the farmers yearly work.
They made intelligent written reports
from their various county organiza
tons on the work accomplished dur
ing the past year and made plans fol
another years work. There was wit
and humor and song and laughter In
tcrspersed with huge chunks of hard
common sense. They were sober

finding the way to the better life foi
themselves and their children. There

Story Of the Cross.

III. His Passion. (9) This brings
us to the story of the cross itself, as
considered in this sequence OF lessons.
Before that awe-inspiring, wonder
creating event we stand with barred
head. Here sin was unmasked and did
its utmost. Her also we behold grace
unveiled and active.
~. The Post-Passlon Lessons. We
are now in a new atmosphere and
light, a new glory Is to be seen. (10)l
In this lesson we behold the empty
tomb, for HE could not be holden OF
DEATH" We share with them the glori.
Gus, the joyful consciousness that he
whom we have Just seer die in ig-
nominy and shame and suffering is
now alive and ever liveth" to be our
advocate and ever-present friend. This
Is a glorious fact, that of the literal,
bodily resurrection of Christ from
among the dead. Hallelujah! (11) In
lesson eleven this anne thought is
again emphasized and with the SUCCESS
ton Of it's accompanying obligation, in
that I'VE are witnesses of these
things" These first disciples re-
ceived their great commission and
were told how In infinite grace the
Savior and king first Of all calls his
followers into fellowship with him
self before they are sent out to carry
on those enterprises which are the
fruit Of his death and resurrection.
(12p In this is found the blessed record
OF those last words of him who
Showed himself alive after his pas
sion by many infallible proofs, being
seen Of them forty days, and speaking
of the things concerning the kingdom"
(Acts 1879. Here is not alone the UNI
questioned certainty of the resurrec-
ton of Christ from the dead, but the
record Of his present place "in the
~heavenlies," whittier he assembled to
be with the Father, and also the glo-
rious hope of his coming again Sin like

glory, rave in the cross OF our Lord Jesus
Christ.-Gal. 6:14 X. V.
With the exception of the temper
ance lesson, all the lessons of the quar-
ter have to do with the death and res
direction Of our Lord. In the first
quarter we considered Jesus as the
great Teacher; in the second, he iS
presented chiefly as the seeking
Savior; In the third, we observed him
as he acted in Judgment upon Israel
and sin; in this last, he is seen in his
supreme office as Savior and king. The
king of love, he is also the worlds
Savior. Deny him his kingship, refuse
to become a subject of that kingdom
Of which he is the head and we bring
upon ourselves the condemnation of a
righteous judgment. This past quar-
ter particularly reveals him in that
final ministry which resulted in the
initiation of the new enterprise of pro-
claiming his gospel, to the end that
his kingdom shall be established. We
shall consider the lessons under four
headings:
Story Of Love.
l.. Those Of Preparation for His Pas
sion. These embrace the first three
lessons. ~ In the first, we have the
beautiful story of the love which
anointed him for burial, which he ac-
cepted and immortalized. This was
not because Of the greatness Of the
act, but because of the appreciation OF
himself and of his words. (2) Here
we observe him presiding over and in
shutting that lasting memorial, the
symbolic feast, wherein the old passes
away and the new dispensation is
ushered in. (3) In the third lesson we
view with awe the agony Of the gar
den wherein he dedicated himself to
the coming suffering, mot as / will,
but as thou wilt"-absolute surrender
and delight in the Fathers will.
IL. Those That Preceded His Pas
sion. These next five lessons lead US
through those dark shadows, yea,
through a darkness which is yet un-
fathomable and which ended in the
total darkness of Calvary. (4) In this
lesson Judas is presented, the incarna-
ton OF evil, and the agent OF satan,
who betrayed his Lord and Friend
by a kiss. Here we see the utter ruin
Of a soul which chose private ambition
instead Of fellowship with Jesus. (5)'
This is a presentation of the greatest
and most appalling travesty Of Justice

New Years eve in crowded restaur-
