THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. XIII No. 5 BACCALAURE Delivered For The School Last Sunday The Mt. Zion May 23, 1920 William M. Subject: "The sheltering Rock; or, the highest type of Character." Text: "Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and Princess shall rule in Judgment. And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as a shadow of a great rock in a weary land. And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall not hearken. The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerer shall be ready to speak plainly. The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl be bountiful. (Isaiah 32:15, 8.) This is one of the many passages in the Old Testament where the Prophet of God draws aside the curtain and gives us a glimpse of the blessings that are to be realized in the coming Messianic Kingdom. As the Prophet delivers his message of warning or instruction to the people of his time, his gaze ever and anon seems to penetrate into the great future, and he catches glimpses of such transcendent beauty and loveliness that his soul is set on fire, and he bursts forth in strains of such burning eloquence, that our hearts are thrilled as we listen to the impassioned words, and in our breasts no hope is kindled, and larger expectations created. Living as we do in the Messianic Age to which these utterances point, we see that many of these inspiring predictions have been already realized, and this gives us confidence to believe that all will be fulfilled in the upward sweep of the oncoming ages. In this particular passage we have portrayed the perfection of individual character that shall be reached in the Messianic age as revealed in the service men shall render their day and generation, and this, after all, constitutes the measure of the highest attainments. He is the best who does best. Jesus said, when his disciples were contending about the question of primacy: "Whosoever of you will be the chiefest shall be servant of all." I take this passage as particularly applicable to the present occasion, because the educated man ought to represent the very highest product of our Christian civilization. Christianity is the foster mother of education, and when a Christian College sends young people out with its diploma, and consequently with the stamp of its approval, it ought to be able to say, "Behold what Christianity can do for a man." Standing back yonder with the Prophet of Twenty-five Hundred years ago, and looking through the telescope which he holds up for us, we see in glorious pictures the possibilities of individual development Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper. Desire Your Patronage—Try Them. to be realized in the future ages, when men would be instructed by the great Teacher who came from Heaven, and human character fashioned after the Divine model under His plastic hand. Today we occupy the place upon which the Prophetic gaze was fixed, and can say here is the object caught in the focus of the Prophetic telescope; here is the subject of the picture drawn by the Prophetic Artist; here is the real person whose shadow fell across the field of Prophetic vision and inspired the Prophet to write the beautiful words of our text:—From this language I gather that the highest type of man has:....A work of government: "A King shall reign in righteousness, and Princes shall rule in Judgment." The office of King is a perpetual office. hence a necessary office. We need not imagine that the world will ever out-grow the need of a King: the name may change, but the office is perpetual. There must forever be government or rule. We talk about self-government, but in reality men govern themselves, but submitting to the authority they place over themselves. The nation, the state, the city, the family, must have a rule. It is a necessary condition of civilized society, and there is also a government in the individual soul.—The one great function of education is to fit men to rule. This implies first of all, self-government.—No man can rule others who cannot govern himself. This implies, in the second place, ability to obey.—Ohey the man who has learned obedience, other things being equal, is best fitted to rule. This also implies knowledge—No ignorant is fit to rule. Ignorance is a terrible blight upon the soul. It leaves a man a prey to all forms of evil.—An ignorant man is a threat to society. To put ignorance on the throne is to invite ruin. Like Sennacherib, King of Assyria, who wrote a threatening letter to Hezekiah, King of Judah, which resulted in the death of about 185,000 Assyrians. Like Belshazzar, the last King of Babylon, who caused 3,000 of his Lord's to die in one night. Only the instructed man, is truly King. This implies keen, moral and spiritual perceptions, and ready moral responsiveness.—It is an outrage on humanity, to place a bad man in authority. It is a sad commentary on our Christian civilization that bad men can hold official position. The office of ruler is in no sense incompatible with the office of servant. The true ruler is the highest form of servant.—He is the highest King who can do most for humanity. On this basis of the claim of Christ as King of kings must rest; on this basis, the claim of every King rests—You are all Kings in proportion to your ability to serve your generation. The manner of discharging the duty, is clearly defined—One word explains it; "Righteousness." To understand this, let us place ourselves in the age in which the Prophet lived. He was King who could take the scepter by force and hold it. It was simply a question of power. The people lived for the King—the storm of life is past; safe into the harbor guide, Oh receive my soul at last." As you have sat by the fire during a winter evening, and have heard the wind moaning and sighing, and the sleet shing against the window.

Junction City. none. To serve the King for his own sake was considered the duty of the subjects. This condition of things resulted from the mistaken idea of the nature of true greatness. It was regarded as merely accidental. The prophet looked forward to a time when a new idea should dominate the world. This new idea made true greatness essential and not accidental. When the true dignity of man would come to be recognized, the King would belong to the people, and not the people to the King. Then the King would rule in righteousness, when the rights of men were recognized. If greatness consists in power or riches or knowledge, weak or poor men or ignorant men are not great, and hence have no rights. If greatness consists in the fact of manhood, then every man, be he rich or poor, strong or weak, wise or simple, is grest by virtue of his manhood, which is the true character of nobility. When this is recognized, the King will rule in righteousness. This is the idea that destroys selfishness and pride. The Apostolic injunction is, "Let each esteem others better than himself." This means that the highest type of man has: A work of protection: A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest. Men and animals have been lost on the plains in the time of severe storm They needed a hiding from the storm, and failling in this, from the storm, and failling in this, they perished. Rude buildings of stone are some times erected in the sandy desert by the hands of Charity as a refuge from the storm, so that any one so unfortunate as to be overtaken by one of the Desert Sand-Storms may have a place of safety. Little birds, so timid and shrinking habitations of man in time of severe storm. There are many instances recorded of birds pursued by the hawk or eagle that have flown into the bosom of men for protection. It is said that such an instance gave rise to the beautiful song: "Jesus lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high; Hide me oh my Saviour hide, 'till pane, you have realized how blessed it is to have a shelter from the wind, an da covert from the tempest. Let us not imagine, however that physical storms are our great perils. These literal storms are very inadequate illustrations of the fiercer tempests that sweep over human souls, and have often overwhelmed the individual in a destruction far more terrible than any that destroys physical man. Tempest of offliction storm of disaster, great great billows o trouble have swept many a soul into ruin—Life is not a mild, bright summer day. It is a very changeable day—If there are hours of sunshine, be sure there will be times of storm—God sends Dead-Lock Broken In M. E. Church, Negro Bishops Preside Over Their Race Chicago, Ill., May 28.—The three big Methodist conferences have met and concluded their work of electing bishops and settling many questions of church polity. At Des Moines, the Methodist Episcopal Branch broke its Negro Bishop deadlock of more than twenty-five years and elected Dr. R. E. Jones editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and Dr. M. W Clair, of Washington, D. C. Bishops to superintend the work among the Negro membership of the church. It is declared in Methodist circles, here that this action kills all chances for a union between the North and south branches of the church. Union Idea Still Lives In A.M.E.Conference A Call For An Inter- Fraternity Chicago had a special interest in the deliberations of the A. M. E. Conference because two of the men elevated to the Bishopric are well and favorably known in this city. Dr. W. S. Brooks was for several years the pastor of the St. Stevens Church on the West Side and Dr. A. J. Carey has been in the work in this city for a long number of years and is one of the best known figures in local politics among the Negroes here. The question of Church Union was one of the large things that possessed a special interest for the colored people of this city. The great bulk of them favored the Union idea. Many were afraid that Bishop Phillips' fight on the proposed plan would defeat the project and they are more than pleased that the idea was unanimously adopted at St. Louis. It is expected that Bishop Carey will be appointed to this district The A. M. E. Conference will close its sessions this week at Knoxville, Tenn., after one of the most successful conferences in the history of the organization. The Zionists also voted for Union. The election of Bishops will take place this week. Drs. P. A. Wallace, Martin L Blalock and J. W. Woods appear to be the candidates for the high honor. Prejudice Still Creeping Onward And Upward Baltimore, Md., May 28. Judge Ambler in the city Court decided last week that the provisions of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway Company for the segregation of white and colored passengers was legal. The decision was handed down in the case of Lewis H. Davenport, a colored man, who sued the railway company for $5,000 damages for alleged assault by preventing him from riding in a car that the Company had set aside for the use of white passengers. The judge declared that the Supreme Court had recognized, the lawfulness of segregation of the races on railways. the storm as well as the calm, and it is the duty of man to offer refuge to his brother caught in the tempest of sorrow and adversity.

Wark man an Albert Evans, two tramp boys, ore white the other a Negro were charged with assault upon a white girl, near Mulberry, Kansas. The two were arrested, but a vicious element of the whites overpowered the officers, took the Negro and hanged him from a tree hear the jail. Now, the aame officers who were so powerless as to be forced to surrender the Negro to the mob, saved the white boy, by first taking him to Columbus, and later to Joplin. There are, and have been no mys- terles about the case, common reason- ing would have told anyone that the white boy was as guilty as the Negro, or that In all probability, or beyond question the Negro was not guilty, only to the extent that he was forced to help his white companion to lead an attack on a girl of the white race. The girl, who was reported in a,s0- rious condition, with her throat cut, has recovered, The Negro, has with- out a trial, without a chance for any- one to plead his case was hurried to judgment. The white boy, a tramp and murderer, still enjoys hfe, and now pleads guilty of assaullt with in- tention to ravish and kill. It Is re- ported that he has been sentenced to penitentiary for a term of not more than ten years. We do not argue capital punishment, but we do believe | if hanging, or lynching was not too bad for the Negro, it is not too good for the white boy.—Not only him, but the entire mob should ba arrested and given thelr just deserts for the mur- der of an innocent man, { “L'Ouverture Girls won moro points ‘than all the other girls of the City put together, and the Boys stcod three against all the other Boys, Douglass Boys holding sixth place.
