THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE PRESIDENT-ELECT HARDING HAS BUT ONE MESSAGE FOR THE UNITED STATES. The Good Baptist Deacon's Heart is Right. Like Lincoln and Washington, He Believes in Praver. By The Negro Associated Press Marion, Ohio, Jan. — President-elect Harding has chosen the biblical text upon which he will take the oath of office as president of the United States. He will ask that the same bible which George Washington used he opened at Micah, Gth chapter and 8th verse, which reads: "He bath showed thee, O man what is good; and what doh the Lord require of thee but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk hambly with God." Senator Harling's thoughts have been much upon the bible of late. He commented last night upon the fact in the taking of numerous degrees in masonry in the last two weeks he has been surrounded by a particularly solemn religious atmosphere. He affi med his belief in the efficacy of prayer and predicted that prayer will help him with the problems that are before him in the White House During the last ten days. "I have taken far back into the story of the creation and I have found it alling to my sense of religious devotion. Prayer grips the heart and adds to one's confidence. "I believe in prayer I believe in prayer in the closet, for there one faces God alone. Many times the spoken prayer is only for one'sears. I can understand how those prophets of old in their perplexities, problems, perturbations and anxieties, found courage and strength when they gave their heart to the Great Omnipotent in prayers. "How many things there are in scripture that we in our worldliness never discover After all, men are much alike. God made us all in the same image and there is no difference in us except as we have developed, or when the weight of responsibility is shoulder upon us. Then God makes human beings awake. The government of this republic has been adrift, and the inevitable result has followed. But I am not afraid, for I know through courtesy, confidence and close adherence to justice one will have at his call the great minds and intellects in this great republic and with their truth, advice and direction, we apotn go wrong.

(Special to The Negro Star) A Great Meeting At Hill City, Kansas Hill City, Kansas, Jan. 25, 1921 The Second Baptist Church is being ably pastored by Rev. W. F. Warder, who also is the District Missionary of the Smokey Hill River Association, is bringing things to pass in the western part of the State. The Church has made no mistake in securing him as pastor. The District is being wonderfully helped, especially is this true with the smaller churches, they seem to be taking on new life. The few years he has been pastor of this Church its membership has grown wonderfully and he has gained a wide reputation as a church builder. A few months ago he suggested to his good people, that they were terribly in need of a house in which to worship God. Being a man with a progressive people they set their heads together and now they have a splendid church edifice with a seating capacity of a 150, fixed up in a modern wav, which is a credit to this city, and the Western section of the State. For the past two weeks we have been engaged in revival services, being ably assisted by Rev. C. P. Morrow, Moderator of the Smokey Hill River Association and pastor of the St. James Baptist Church, Emporia, whose sermons have been so convincing and powerful, they have caused 8 happy souls to rejoice in the God of their salvation. The work has been greatly benefited and his service highly appreciated. We pray that he may live long and continue to preach such sound doctrine. We will be glad to have him come again. Respectfully, Respectfully, H. G. Eurly, Deacon of Church Kansas Industrial And Educational Institute Topeka, Kansas. January 26, 1921 (Special to The Negro Star) (Special to the Negro Early) The Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute asked the State Legislature for the following improvements: A $40,000.00 Central Heating Plant This plant is to house the laundry, ice and cold storage and electric light plant. The school at this time has five steam heating units which is very costly to operate and in many ways is very unsatisfactory. $10,000.00 for a new Hospital, supplemented with the funds already raised by the colored people for the erection of a hospital and Nurse Training School. $10,000.00 is sought for the completion of the Boys Dormitory One wing of the Boys' Dormitory remains incomplete. In this new wing, it is hoped that a Gymnasium and bathing pool can be placed. With these rooms in the wing added, the present drill room can be used for dormitory space and will enable us to take care of from thirty to fifty more boys. $10,000.00 is sought to make addition to the Boys' Trade School and better equip the school to teach carpentry, auto mechanics, blacksmithing, tailoring and printing to the young men who come to the Institute for trades. $6,000.00 for teachers cottages. Several families are now housed in the Boys' Dormitory. It is hoped that the Legislature will see fit to provide all these very urgent needs for the Institution as well as amply take care of the maintenance, repairs and salaries for teachers. Because of the war, none of the Institutions have made any extensive improvements or repairs.

He was accompanied by Dr. A. M Townsend, Secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board, who acted as "Attendant" or best man. The bride is a Nashville product-born, reared and trained in this city. From her youth, she has been regarded as a gifted contralto singer, and by reason of her splendid musical accomplishments, she has been identified with nearly all of the great musical entertainments that have been given by various religious denominations, educational institutions and fraternal organizations. She is a great church worker and has rendered most valuable service to the Spruce Street Baptist Church of which she is a member, and to other churches, irrespective of denomination, whenever they made demand for her service.

Cobb, leading representative of the Race of the District of Columbia, bar, who with matchless eloquence and rare courage has met by constitutional argument the sophistries and denials of the Southern Representatives. Mr. Cobb not only presented facts based upon Supreme Court and other decisions but kept Republican members of the Census Committee supplied with authorities which could be used in refuting the arrogant assertions of the Southern group. Mr. Cobb usually represents the N. A. A.

An Address by Sister Roxie Shaw Delivered To The Swan Lake Missionary Baptist Association at Jonestown, Miss. Sisters, I must first say that I am working for Jesus; and my aim is to save souls. Matt.25:14 reads—"For the Kingdom of Heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants and delivered unto them his goods." The talents they received of Him were Ilius gifts; He gave one five and one two and to one gave He one; and to every man according to his ability. So some worked and gained more and some were too slothful and so wicked they did not do anything. So I appeal to the members of this broad mission field to stand for Christ, work, watch and pray; and using these phrases, you may understand them, as one duty. But no, you must get them separated, you can do them all at one time, there are three senses busy—the eye, heart and hand. And when our hearts have prayed unto Our Father which art in Heaven for His kind mercies and many blessings and have been answered, then our eyes are no longer willing to look upon the filthy and black things of the world and our hands have been rightly employed. If we expect to have a part in this life in shaping events; if we expect to be numbered among the learned, the strong, the moulders of public sentiment, the masters of things material, free from abject menial servitude, we must educate the people. Let this idea run all through our schools until it permeates the life of every boy, every girl, every man, every woman; making its influence felt in every home and every clime, among all nations.

Judge the future of education by the past, since Emancipation, and you will see the things to which the Race can point with most pride, is the activity and progress made in the development of an ideal home life and the providing of a liberal education for his people. Indeed it is worthy of note that in both churen and state, there is a growing interest in behalf of extending to all classes, the privileges and benefits of (the) at least a limited Education. Nations that once thought of nothing but war and conquest are throwing their influence in the scale of popular education. Countries that have long weilded the scepter of power, and held thousands subject to the will and opinion of one man or set of men, are being aroused to the importance of individual thought and individual responsibility. Churches and organizations that necessarily began their work with one or two as leaders, who had to do the thinking for hundreds of others, are now turning their attention to the work of training and developing the faculties and characters of each one so as to enable him to think for himself and act intelligently. This is the spirit of the present age. In this lies the hope and destiny of all classes and all races. What? Education, yes, we are calling for a Christian education. Hence, if there be any particular problem as connected with the Colored race, in my opinion the solution of that problem will come only by following the rule of action applied to the uplifting and development of others. This race is no new species of nature; he is no new issue in the category of life; no new element, in the citizenship of this country, and needs no special prescription to suit his needs.

We can no longer allow our minds to remain idol or inactive as the dead grass of the fields, it must be stirred; it must be awakened from its stupor and quickened into newness of life. Our parents were denied these blessings, who were the victims of slavery. But from my heart I do not believe God intends for Man's mind to remain undeveloped. He did not intend that His creatures forever remain ignorant. Wherever He places talents there He expects to find evidence of growth and increase. Hence it is our duty to educate and prepare all for the intelligent use of what God has given them. Disarmed and Driven from their homes to Ease Situation. By The Negro Associated Press Atlanta.

The white decided that only hydraulic methods could be successfully used because the Negroes were determined to fight the issue to a finish. This conclusion developed in- to a wholesale disarrang of the Negro population. This was accomplished by the issuirg of a general search order of the homes and a confiscation of all firearms thus discovered. Then a "nigger drive" was opened and the Colored people forced to flee to other parts. Gainesville has gained in Negro population as a result and chaos is prevailing in that section as one of the results. The governor has been, asked to take steps to relieve the situation. Up to this time he havevinced no interest in the matter. ONLY ONE MESSAGE FOR ALL (By The Negro Associated Press.) Prominent Southern White Men Want New Era. "Let us have Oneness of Americanism" is His Message to All. Washington, D. C., Jan. 23 "I have no message to the people of the South that I would not utter to all the United States" This is the heart motif of the message when President-elect Harding has written at the benest of Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, to the South. Mr. Howell, it appears, is one of the prominent Southern men who is very anxious that a genuinely new era shall be opened for the southland. The Howell type of Southerner affects to be heartily tired of the present tangled situation which, they say, is operating to the great economic and business disadvantage of their section of the country. The "race Problem" is, of course, at the bottom of the entire situation. This is acknowledged on all sides by all complexions of men. "What is the republican Party going to do about, the South's fears in relation to the loudly expressed ambitions of its" present-day Negro citizens?" is the question uppermost in the minds of all Southerners. Hence the request of the editor of the Constitution He, with other white Southerners want to know and want to know so sincerely that they can literally taste it. Mr Harding's message has not evaded the direct question, it is declared by prominent men here, black and white, but, in his effort he has clearly called to the attention of the South the fact that the prob'ems of the country are not sectional in character but apply, with equal force, to all the country. Let's all pull together," he says "Let us have oneness of Americanism," he declares in another instance of the "Message." In the matter of Southern appointment, Mr. Taft is the only leading Republican who has worried himself with the fear that Mr. Harding may so far forget the Southern tradition that he will appoint Negroes to first class Federal positions in the South. Why no one has been able to answer late ligently. Up-to-date the President-elect has said nothing which would indicate his attitude in the matter of appointments outside of his cabinet, and a good deal of this has been tentative natere. Henry Lyncoln Johnson is on the ground, but he has nothing to say about the question of appointments. Henry Lyncoln may be playing "possum" no one knows. But he is keeping mum, just the same, and sawing wood, maybe. Dr Emmit Scott declares he is not in politics and therefore has nothing to say about appointments. In fact everybody is up in the air on this all-important point and the result is a political fog so dense and thick one can almost cut with a knife.

Railway Labor board is still in progress, and is creating unusual interest. J H. Eiland, Grand President of the Colored Association of Railway Employees with headquarters in Memphis, Tenn. had been a constant attendant at the sessions, and has prepared a brief on the Colored trainmen's organization side which will be presented before the body. Mr. Eiland's organization has a membership of more than 4,000, having been organized less than four years ago, with a membership of about 200 trainmen. According to the contentions of the C A. R. R, the Brotherhood of trainmen, white, has not only effected contracts and agreements that are giving them undue advan age, but they are obviously discriminatory, and should not be tolerated longer. According to the present arrangement Colored trainmen in the South where the majority are employed, diminishing in number constantly, and because of present seniority rules, those who are employed find it almost impossible to advance. It is maintained that the only organization of railway employee represented in the contract with the government were organizations composed exclusively of whites, in which Colored men could not become members. The Colored Association contending for an agreement, national in scope, effecting and protecting all employees in the same department of service without regarls to race or color, so far as working conditions are concerned.

Four years ago the Trustee Board of the Douglas Memorial Home sought the help of the National Association of Colored Women and in ten months we paid off the mortgage and saved the home from any further embarassment. We did not restore, we simply redeemed, then the war came on and we could not finish the job. I called for ten thousand dollars for restoration, and during these years, in addition to wiping off the mortgage, we have raised an additional sum towards the restoration of four thousand dollars. To completely restore the home, at least six thousand dollars is needed, and today we are sending out what we hope will be the last appeal to Club women and race men and women to fittingly celebrate the birthday of our illustrious Douglas appropriate exercises, and by raising as large a sum as possible* Every organization or individual that contributes $25,00 will have their names written upon the parchment that will hang forever upon the walls of the home, thns showing to our children the names of men and women who desired to make of Cedar Hill our Hall of Fame.

Butler in his sermon last Sunday night and we weighed the thought then we thought how valuable it would be if 12 million Negroes were of the same spirit. We saw in that expression a man filled with zeal, backed up by energy and self-confidence, thoroughly mixed with pride and anchored with hope in Christ Jesus, who has shown him a vision. Then, we saw the opposing forces of the world hammering to tare down this great will, but the only result obtained is the mounting into stronger ways of success, causing the person or race to build more strongly than he or it had planned; then we thought of the poetic, who said: "Ol For a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by every foe, etc" Then we pictured in our mind 12 Americans saying: "We will conquer every foe, we can't fail if possibilities are in our hands. We saw men and women standing up for every right of an American citizen, feeling a responsive chord telling us we are in harmony with God's purpose and the rights guaranteed by the Constitution of United States of America. Proud of the fact that we will not have to violate any law of the government to stand for full rights, keep the fire burning and the aim high Then, we again, saw a world of work to do on ourselves to rid us of work o do on ourselves to rid us LOCAL NEWS.

Then it is a fine chance for the other race to unload their guilty and disgraces.—think of the Bank robbers of Oklahoma and the street robber of St. Louis and such other similar occurances throughout this country. It should be a crime for any man to make up to disgrace any race or his own race.

Sunday morning at 9.45 a.m. our Sabbath opened its doors again welcoming members and visitors. We had a glorious study of the lesson which was instructive and beneficial to all. The pastor enlightened along several lines in his teaching remarks which was enjoyed and helpful to all. Come and join us in our school and see and help us grow! We are moving right along in God's cause; pray for our school. Immediately following our Subbath School, our pastor took the services in charge one delivered us a wonderful sermon, text: "Boyhood of Christ." St. Luke 2:10 Subject: "Ho nelife." This sermon was indeed a treat to Sunday morning's congregation as the Dr. H. H. Edmond depicted in perfect reality of vision to earlier years of Christ. It you missed it; then it is all against you for which the writer is sorry but not to blame. Try and get there next Sunday morning without fast as the pastor, Dr Edmond is delivering a service of special sermons, until Easter Sunday. Come and hear as many of these feature lessons of the Scriptures as possible. The Epworth League Sunday evening at six o'clock was well attended by young and old. A lively time was had with the election of a few new officers which had been vacated by some eligible reason. Our Epworth League is moving on, so just get in line; looking up and putting up." If you are with us, the world is wrong and you are all right, if you are not I am sorry for you. Give the League a visit or come and join the services each Sunday at six o'clock. You are indeed given a hearty invitation by the president, Mr. O. Johnson. The evening services of public worship subsequent to the Epworth League was indeed inspiring and uplifting to all. The Dr. Edmond again appearing in the defense of God's Kingdom brought to us this message, text: "The angel of the Lord encampeth around about those that fear him and delivereth them." Psalm 34:7 Subject: "The Security of those Who Trust in God." The Pastor treated upon this passage with marked oratory, which was pronounced by the congregation as a master sermon. Indeed, he threw himself entirely into the sermon as he usually does in giving his listeners the very details of his thoughts. I have not seen you in our church yet, better come out Sund and bring someone with you if you can. The Dr. H. II. Edmond has prepared several featured sermons, which are delivered every Sabbath morning at the eleven o'clock public worship services. They last until Easter Sunday. Come out now and hear then. We are working earnestly now toward another good—Easter. Easter means missions. Start saving those odd cents now.: Monday night, the official board was called together. They are planning great things. Last Friday, January 21, there was a social entertainment at the home of Dr. and Mrs. N. D. Briley for the benefit of the piano indebtedness.

Morning Sermon: "Restoration of usefulness." Luke 1:64. As the priest burned incense in the temple years ago, while their congregations bowed in prayer while the odor of the incense penetrated the audience, so a Christian life penetrates the community in which they live. God only needs such lives, that He can use regardless to position in the church or community in which they live. Some very vivid examples were made by the Pastor of the lives we as Christians should live at home or in the church. Are you or am I one of those good Christians who is without loyalty church loyalty or loyalty man to man? It has been long since a more spiritual sermon has been heard in Calvary by a Congregation so large and patient. Night Sermon, theme: "The Painting Hero." Judges 15:18. Sampson after he had killed his thousand Philistine he all but fainted of exhaustion. So it is with many a Christian's life after they have done big things for God many faint and fall by the wayside. You could all but see Sampson being tempted, but with all his uns and downs, there is one thing admirable about him and that was he knew how to pray and when. Just like the devil tempted Sampson, so he attacks any good Christian's life or even the church, but any of us can be a Sampson for God and not be a fainting hero, but stand our temptation and come out victorious. A special appeal was made to sinners. Annual Report: Subscription ..... $8,333.55 Public Offering ..... 299.75 Missions ..... 189.86 Mission Circle ..... 126.03 D. Y. P.

St. Mary Baptist. Sunday was another one of those days of Christian enthusiasm. The weather was unfavorable, but our services were well attended by the membership and friends. The Supt. Bto. Washington opened S. School on time and a goodly number was on hand. Many good things were learned from the subject: "Promotion in the Kingdom." Matt. 20:17-28; and also the Golden text Matt. 20.28. Our effort in showing the affects of right and wrong ambitions was our climax with Christ's courage, reasons for Christ's crucifixion, wrong ambition and the good of Christian life should be one of service; followed with the promise rewards, and Christ the chief example of service.

H. SIMMS FOOT SPECIALIST MANICURING AND PEDICURING BY LADY ATTENDANT Too Precious ..to Lie Dormant. I mean the Seminary launched last June at Topeka, Kansas, and was in actual service for one week. This project was the product of much prayer and the brain of our very esteemed and beloved missionary, Rev. Dr. J. H. Van Leu, whose life has been hazarded to foster the school that Pastors and Christian workers might be better prepared to do the work of their Master. Like many others who were able to put their plans on higher grounds succumbed ere they reaped full benefits: Dr. Simmons of Kentucky, Booker I. Washington, Paul Lawrence Dunbar and others; David once longed for a drink of water from the wells of Bethlehem and three mighty men broke through the host of Philistines drew the water and brought it to David of which Abishal was the leader; David said the water was the blood of men too precious to drink. The work of the Kansas Seminary is the blood and life of some noble characters too precious to waste. Dr. Van Leu has broken down in health and has been confined to his room for several weeks with very severe rheumatism which no doubt has been brought oh by the faithful labor he has given to the Baptist of the State. He has had many ranks to break through to put this Seminary where it is today; therefore, let us not drink it up in idleness. That beginning week will long live. Many of the Pastors and other workers attended and were compelled to say it is good to be here; therefore let us arrange for a longer term next Year. We were provided with some of the very best instructors, Rev. Dr. Denton and Dr. Sharp both teachers of the Kansas City Seminary (white) and Rev. D. Moore of Philadelphia sent to us by the Home Mission Society and besides these scholarly divines we had many of the learned Pastors of the State, who were of great assistance such as W. A: Bowren, President of the Baptist State Convention. Moderator Hays, Dr. Young, Dr. Richardson, Dr. Skinner and Cartwright and some of the best learned Sisters. It was indeed good to be there. Last but not least we never can forget how we were provided for with room and provisions under the care of Prof. G. R. Bridgeforth and his faculty. They spared no pains to make our stay pleasant. We lived better than we could at home at the price. They gave us roasting ears, cabbage, greens, potatoes, sweet milk and butter milk, eggs and butter and many other delicious things all were products of the industrial farm. This letter comes as an open advice to all religious workers to start now to put on the arouser for the coming summer school. J.
