Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE WORLD'S WONDER, WILL MAKE YOU WONDER HEAR NEEDHAM ROBERTS BACCALAUREATE SERMON Delivered For The Sumner High School Last Sunday 11:00 A. M., At The Mt. Zion Baptist Church, May 23, 1920 by Rev. Moses Williams, D. D. JOHN B. REV. MOSES WILLIAMS, D. D. (Continued from last issue.) Oftentimes a man says himself in that way. Many souls have been kept from despair in its efforts to cheer despairing souls There is a story that says: "A traveler overtaken in a snowstorm, who struggled until strength failed, and then he laid down and gave up. Presently he felt something move beneath him and he aroused himself, and found it was another perishing man. This inspired him to make an effort to save his unfortunate Fellowman, and in so doing he saved himself. The story illustrates a great truth. We save ourselves in saving others. I have known certain men, who were generally recognized as a refuge in time of storm. If financial trouble comes, the unfortunate ones knew instinctively where to go for counsel and help, and they never appealed in vain. If afflictions came, the sufferers knew where to go for sympathy. No matter what the nature of the storm might be in which the unfortunate ones were caught, they always knew where to go for refuge and covert. Young People. I trust you may become a "Hiding place from the wind and a covert from the Tempest" for needy souls. Here is after all, the radical service, "You are not here to amuse men. You are not in this World to have an easy, quiet time. You are not educated that you may be able to acquire a competence easier. You are here for a refuge. To perform this service you must have great hearts of love." I have discovered that the highest type of man has a work for instruction: "As rivers of water in a dry place." This Figure is a very suggestive one. There is no want more severe than that of thirst. There is nothing more refreshing than the cooling draught of water to the thirsty. This figuratively represents the keen thirst of the soul for instruction. Je- sue: "If any man thirst let him come to me and drink," in this he points out a soul-thirst for instruction that only he can give The Prophet represents true men as rivers, sources of Instruction, the greatest of all blessings. As Education of men and women, one of your great functions will be that of Instruction. There are deep heart questions that the world wants instruction upon. I trust you will be able to answer the deep radical questions of the soul. Not the little un-important inquiries, but the great questions. Jesus, our great example, was a teacher. His instruction was radical. It always went to the root of the matter. He did not merely entertain, but he taught. He satisfied first. This is your work, to do this you must be students. Your student life has only begun, nor is this all, never forget that after all, the the most satisfactory teaching is expressed in action. The world does not want talkers so much as doers. In this lies the teaching that is most radical. The highest type of man has also: A work of encouragement and support: "As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land" This figure is largely lost to people who have never seen a desert. To understand, we must in imagination bring before our eyes a huge rock rearing itself aloft amidst the desert. All around are shifting sands, parched and dry, without sign of life, except on the sheltered from burning sun, and protected from the winds, grass and flowers have sprung up, and their freshness and beauty offer a striking contrast to the dreary, barren waste stretched out on every hand. This presents to us a picture of what we see going on all around us in this great desert waste of life. Some men are merely shifting sand. They are capable of producing luxuriant and beautiful plants, if only some sheltering rock would cast its kindly shadow. They cannot be independent. They must have shelter and protection. They must have some strong character under whose shadow they can escape the scorching suns, and driving blasts. Young people, remember that you, by virtue of your advantages, are to stand in the world as sheltering rocks. You must be ready to endure the scorching suns and fierce tempest, and break the force of these things for those who hide in your shadow and who would be swept to ruin without your help and protection. To accomplish this there must be in your stability and strength, Wichita, Kansas, Friday; June 4, 1920 TAG DAY RECEIPTS PASSED THE $1000 MARK FOR COLORED CHILDREN'S HOME.—PUBLIC GAVE LIBERALLY Search you the globe from shore to shore, pick your race peruse their history, sum up their deeds of nobleness, then let your soul and mind be free to confess and you will speak for the glory of the Negro Woman of America, who has a burning zeal that makes her the masterpiece of creation. She suffers long and is kind, dares to do the impossible and conqueror, she charges the insults to the scandal and contiues to look for the real man, and brings in the victory for her race. No better demonstration of this fact could be shown, than that of the women of our city last week in the Tag Day Drive, winding up Monday night with a Japanese Wedding in royal style, that would do honor to Japan. No one could look at this exercise without thinking of what patience, ability and ingenuity that must have been possessed by Mesdames Chas. L. Childs, Ethel Rucker, members of the Rucker Orchestra, Carrie Anderson, Ida F. Bates, F. O. Miller, P. M. Bell, Atty, Fred C. Helm, because they put their time and talent in the arrangement and performance of the play. From the little tots to grown folks, it was worth the while and pleasing to behold. Messrs. Sam and Maurie Jones acted as Royal King and Priest in first class style, as the world puts it: "They had everything." The Committee in charge of Tag Day last Saturday, wishes to thank everyone who worked so hard and faithfully to make it a success. The public was very liberal and gave freely. Sixty-two workers reported Saturday morning at 8:00 o'clock for work, and worked faithfully until 10:00 at night, and they are feeling proud that they helped in such a good cause. Mr. David Leahy, at the City Building was especially kind to the ladies who had their headquarters in his office, by remaining open after office hours. Mr. Chub Trout is to be commended, for giving the girls that tagged, their dinner. The City Federation put on the Tag Day for the purpose of buying a Children's Home. They realized over $900.00 from the sale of the tags, and after the receipts of the Japanese Wedding are added the Drive will pass the $1000.00 mark. The following are the workers and the amount they solicited. Carrie Anderson $14.54 firmness of mental and moral texture. You must have tenacity. No changing, vaciliating person can in any sense be a rock. If your education has failed to give you these qualifications, it is of little value. The text says, A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest. To be a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest, one must be a real man from every sense of the word. David told Solomou "Be thou strong, therefore, and show thyself a man, don't be a mut! Don't be a four-flusher, don't be a mere cipher on the sea of human enterprise, but be a man. God is no respector of person, but He is a respector of character.

Moses pushed aside the greatest scepter of any known kingdom, and did what his heart told him was right. "Be thou strong, and show thyself a a man." David was a man of lofty purposes, and his life was influenced by those that had preceded him. It wasn't an accident that made David king. The big job is always looking for big men. A round peg will not fit into a square hole, even if he is a University professor. There are some going around disguised as men, ought to be arrested. To know some men, is an invitation to do right. And to know others is an invitation to disgrace the whole community in which you live. (Continued in next Issue) Scenes At Tuskegee Institute THE PARTY REACHES TUSKEGEE Filled with enthusiasm over the reception tendered them at the three cities mentioned, the party was escorted to Tuskegee from Montgomery by D. J. Jones, assistant to the Chief Accountant, and son-in-law of Prof. Lee and by Capt. A. R. Stewart of the Commandant's Staff. The party reached Tuskegee Institute Tuesday afternoon, April 13th, 2:30 P. M. for a three days stay. As the car moved slowly into the Tuskegee station, the Tuskegee Institute Band struck up a lively march and the Reception Committee, headed by Principal Moton, extended them a most impressive welcome. From the station, the party was escorted by Major Walcott, Commandant to Rockefeller Hall and then began the program of entertainments and a sight-seeing tour thru the grounds, buildings and industries. EDITOR CREWS A FAVORITE On Tuesday evening, the students, teachers and friends from the community assembled in the Chapel to hear expressions from the visitors. Before presenting the speakers, Dr. Moton, representing the Institute, welcomed the visitors and told them how much the school appreciated the sacrifice of time from their important interest at home which was necessary for them to make the trip. Eager to remind them of the great debt owed to Booker T. Washington, Principal Moton said: "I take special pride, satisfaction and pleasure in welcoming these gentlemen to the school, and I am doing in the name of the workers and the great Founder, Dr. Washington, for there is nothing that gave him more pleasure and real satisfaction than to have colored people see the work, which he did gave his life for, not that he more for the colored people and less for the white people, but he did it for humanity and he wanted Tuskegee Institute to be made beautiful, attractive and clean so that colored people would be absolutely welcome. You don't see any "Don't" signs on the grounds. In some places, you see signs, "Don't do this, and don't do that," but here, there are no "Don't" signs at Tuskegee Institute for you. "I want to tell you children again and again, how glad we are to see you and have you come to see us. We have a program arranged for your entertainment thru the Local Business League, and these gentlemen are members of the Kansas City Business League and we are looking after them. We want to assure you that everything is open to you. We would "give you the keys" as Mr. Crews would say in Kansas City; but we have nothing locked up here. I take this opportunity to thank our good friend, Mr. J. R. E. Lee for suggesting and arranging for these distinguished gentlemen to come to us. I know that he made the suggestion, but he is too modest to say so. Again and again, I want to assure you of a most hearty and sincere welcome to this great institute and I say great, because I did not build it, as I have only been here four years. Booker T. Washington built the school and made it possible for you to see what you do see and these young people love and appreciate you." Big Membership Drive Ashville, N. C. June 4. - Mem- To all doubting Thomases, the real man was here last Thursday, June 3, 1920 and will be back in person, under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, to let you know what a noble man, citizen, soldier and Sergeant Needham Roberts is; and how he and his companion withstood 36 Germans and won the victory, next Friday night, June 11, 1920 at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church. His story will be interesting and inspiring and will exhibit his wounds. In holding up the brave blood of America, he held aloft the Negro race so that the world could not be mistaken about the American Negro being the bravest people on earth. If you don't believe in wars nor warriors; if you don't believe in going to church, you yourself enough to do... the one, who has honored you, by being present next Friday night at St. Paul A. M. E.

Ill., June 4.—There was quite and interesting event that took place at 302 East 35th Street, near Grand Boulevard, the other day and it was not one of the notorious bombings, for which Chicago has gained an enviable reputation. William E. Woodward, the famous portraiture artist, in keeping with a very lively movement in Chicago to create a great business center in the vicinity of Indiana and Thirty-fifth Street, moved his art gallery from the "Loop" to the above address, where he has been busy fitting up the finest place on the South Side, regard less of race. Miss Lursa Snelson, former executive clerk of the Chicago Business League, and daughter of Rev. Dr. F. G. Snelson, pastor of St. Mary's A. M. E. Church, had just been married to Banius C. Hedrick, and they were about to take a honey-moon, but felt the necessity for having their "pictures taken" in the "Here comes the Bride" costume, and so they went to Woodward's. But Mr. Woodward had not had time to hang the draperies at his windows, and the scene from the street was finer than looking on the stage of a big vaudeville. In a few minutes, several hundred people had gathered below in the streets, and all traffic was stopped until after the newly weds had been posed for the picture which will be handed down to future generations. Baptist Holds A Successful Meeting Baltimore, Md.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday was featured with one of the most spiritual services than it has been for some time Our pastor, Rev. M. C Lewis preached two able sermons both morning and evening, he is indeed one among the best preachers in the city or state at least I think so. He is loved by all of his members and the entire community. The dynamo was set to Satan's camp last Monday night of this week, in a great revival by the pastor for this week. He is preaching some strong effective sermons in his meeting, backed up by the church. Last Sunday, there wasn't standing room scarcely. and the pastor preached one of the best sermons that we have listened to in a great while. The spirit enveloped the house to such an extent until the people shouted so that the pastor was not able to finish his message. Collection was very good during the day. We are doing what we can for our good shepherd, to make it pleasant for him and his good wife, because we believe it a God sent blessing that we were able to secure the services of Rev. Lewis and his wife. He was elected by the entire community, because they were all out and had a word to say. Mrs. Earnest Reed, is now able to be up after being confined to her bed for six weeks with rheumatism, she has improved greatly in the last two weeks' after taking treatments from Dr. Haden, one of our best race physicians in the city.

Come out to hear our wonderful pastor preach, he is a great preacher and he believes in pushing things to the front. He is speaking to us about the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress of the National Baptist Convention, we would like very well to see him go, but having just arrived we assured him that we will try from now on to make him ready for the National Baptist Convention in September which convenes in Indianapolis, Ind. We have a big rally planned for the month of July, and a big installation for the pastor, and possibly the ordination of two deacons, in this meeting we hope to have the pastor ready to leave with the other delegation to all of our state and national meetings. Mr George Williams o ne of our deacons is now up and able to be about his post after several days of illness. Several of the members have been given plans to help in a little special effort to raise means for the church and pastor. Earnest Reed, Secretary The High-land Baptist Church in the Spot Light Quindara Kansas City, last Sunday, we are very pleased to write that the services throughout the entire day was a decided success. The fire of interest was kindled in the Sunday School, under the leadership of Mrs. J. S. Thurston, the efficient superintendent. The pastor, Rev. J. S. Thurston, D. D., chose for a text at 11:00 a.m., Isaiah 52:3. He indeed preached a very strong and spiritual sermon, he also preached another good sermon that evening from the Book of Matthew 15:24. Collection was good. We were more than glad to have Bro. Scott out with us again after being confined to his bed for several days. We are contemplating a good program for Friday night, come out and enjoy yourself. Last Monday evening Rev. M. C. Lewis, pastor First Baptist Church was with us and preached a strong sermon. Rev J.

Old Timers call it a ,sorry sight," others more temperate in speech declare it "an impudent assumption of political authority" that cannot but give a freshened impetus to whatever temper of radicalism has, undoubtedly began to show its fangs among the young element of the Negro vote." No one here has been able to put his hand on the fuller significance of this latter declaration. One thing is certain however, dissatisfaction is being openly expressed by colored men who heretofore have been willing to swallow anything that was rammed down their political throats if it bore the stamp "Republican" Frank Hitchcock being soundly scored on all sides. He is said to be the arch-conspirator in a plan which aims to eliminate the Southern Negro voter as a directing influence in the councils of the party south of WHITE WAY CAFE We Guarantee to Give the Best Meals in the City for the Money. ```markdown ``` DON'T SUFFER FEET.

His action is said to have been determined by the discovery that the old time "nigger delegate" is a bird that has flown to the swamps. The jingle of the silver dollars has lost its magic power and, upon the refusal of the "bird" to listen to its siren shimmering, Mr. Hitchhook lost his temper, called the creature a d----d buzzard and then hide himself over, bag and baggrge, to the camps of the "ily whites." "Small Loss" chimed the "birds", "he was doulle crossings the Woods people, anywgy." 118 contests are to be decided before the big convention gets under way. This is the number that were filed with the national committee last week. The list includes the Arkansas four at large; the entire delegation of eight from Florida; fourteen of the seventeen from Georgia; Louisiana's entire delegation of twelve; two from the Tenth district of Minnesota; the en- twelve from Mississippi; two from the Fourth District of Missouri; six district delegates from Oklahoma; the entire delegation of eleven from South Carolina; two delegates from the sixth district of Tennessee; the four delegates at large and two from the Eighth district of Virginia; three sets contesting for two seats for the District of Columbia, the entire delegation of fourteen from Alabama and the twenty three from Texas are among the contests to be passed upon. 99 split votes will also come under the scrutiny of the committee.
