THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE THE KANSAS B.Y.P.U. & SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION HOLDS GREAT SESSIONS VOL.14 NO.10 The devotional exercises cleared the way for another great time from a literary standpoint and Mrs. Minnie Owens of Fort Scott, conducted a very interesting program, proving talent and future race, which has every sign of development. At the conclusion of this exercise, President, H. I. Monroc, introduced Mrs. A. E. Wilson of Dallas, Texas, the former secretary and developer of the S. S. Wheatland series. She was full of information for us all about the history of this work and the work in Texas. The closing address was delivered by Prof. C. W. Rodgers of Des Moines, Iowa, the Field Secretary of the Western Convention. It was food for the brain, from a prepared man of experience. Thus rolled into history the greatest collections of the B. Y. P. U. and S. S. Conventions, giving, glory to God, information to workers and making friends in the beautiful city of Leavenworth, also giving chances for the Christian army to advance a few more stars in their crowns for the faithful service. REPORT ON RESOLUTIONS Bro. President, Members of Kansas S. S. Convention, We your Committee on Resolutions, beg to submit the following report:— Peonage Diagrace—Whareas Peonage has been practiced through the South for years, which is against the Constitution of the U. S. and damaging to the Negro's success and a disgrace to the Christian civilization which is directly under the white man's supervision and is now reforming into fruits of death in greater numbers as year; and, Whereas, the Federal Government has taken steps in Georgia and many of the southern states to protect the Constitution and punish criminals. Therefore let this Convention go on record as condemning Peonage and throwing its means and influence in full use for exposing and prosetting such offenses and commending the government for the steps to uphold the Constitution. Segregation—Whereas segregation is the first outward sign of prejudice and is a convenient plan for the superior race to mistreat the weaker, thereby trampling law and order in the dust and over its ruin, making revengeful and impatient citizens through disgraceful mob violences, lynchings and race riots and serving to finder the merit and worth of the weaker race from holding honorable and paying positions. Therefore let this Convention put its stamp of disapproval on segregation and protest for full constitutional rights as an American citizen. Let further, these Conventional Leaders take Christian steps in their communities, in harmony with white Christians, to have a better race relation, thereby arranging a coming together in a moment's notice to stop mobs, lynchers, and rioters and give worthy positions to worthy persons. Whereas, we have some friends in Congress, who are fair enough to offer resolutions to protect all citizens alike and make the communities responsible for their poor or non-protection of laws, causing lossage of property, lives and destroying the confidence of the people in the integrity of the law for the protection of all its citizens; Therefore, let us as a body commend our friends, and seek to make more for the safeguarding of Democracy. Labor and Capitalist—The country has undergone the most strenuous industrial panic in its history. The closing of factories and laying off of men, during high cost of living, have certainly caused much suffering among the common people. Every branch of industry has suffered from this supervision of works. The Union has caused much of the trouble in the industrial world. The Union claims its object is to protect the laboring men, but betrays itself when it comes to the recognition of the Negro. So let our race be very cautious about joining the Unions. Preparedness—Whereas we are living in a new age, where preparedness is the by-word and the survival of the fittest is the common laws. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, June 24, 1021. Be it resolved that this Convention shape its work on an instructive plan, enlightening young workers in the doctrine and polity of the church and efficient service. Appreciation—Whereas, the good people of Leavenworth, and especially the members and pastor of the 1st Baptist Church have been so generous in their entertainment of this Convention, and; Whereas, this beautiful church, just completed, and furnished under the leadership of this splendid pastor, Rev. J. W. Hayes, is the fruit of church ideals; Be it resolved that this Convention pray the blessings of God upon them and also pray that others may be inspired by such church ideals. Sunday morning found us rushing towards the Federal Prison to be in Sunday School with prisoners. Our Company tolisted of, Rev. J. W. Hayes, Mesdames, S. B. Butler, N. B. Copeland, Rev. N. J. Stokes, Bro. Charley Weaver and the editor. We met a very cordial welcome by the prison chaplain and at the proper hour the school was opened in their usual way and classes divided and upheld so 'essay us usual diag que Bro. N. J. Stokes taught one class, and the editor the other for Negroes. We enjoyed a wonderful study of the lesson. With Mrs. S. B. Butler at the piano, Mrs. N. B. Copeland sang, "God will take care of you." received an encore, sang, "Rest for the weary." The prison orchestra rendered some sweet selections and shortly, the chapel was nearly filled with men for morning service. The wonderful Chorus under Prof. Jones, representing two of the largest business enterprises of Kansas City, was present and took the stand and Orchestra rendered, "Perfect Day." The Chapain prayed a few times prayer; the Chorus opened with a Medley, followed with 'holo, 'Sing me to sleep.' Several choice selections proved talent of the singers and gift of directorship of Prof. Jones. Hurrying away from this scene, brought us to the First Baptist Church S. S., where we witnessed another fine school systematically arranged and many bright minds studying truth of God's Word. At the morning service, listened to a great sermon from Rev. N. J. Stokes of Pratt, Kansas, also at night another great sermon, subject: "The Excursion Train to Hell." The B. Y. P. U. was splendid. In fact Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Hayes have a splendid church of workers. We visited the Soldiers' Home where we could see the 'horrors' of S (three) wars. The sceneries were fine, but broken up humanity, was a and realization—many sick and ruined for life. At the First Baptist church, with Rev, J. W. Hayes as pastor, everything was in readiness for the representatives of the 25,000 Baptists of Kansas. Though a young people's meeting it was well mixed with seasoned and earnest workers of the church of all ages. The well arranged system of taking care of them added inspiration to the delegates as well as showed loyalty of the members of the First Baptist church, under the well trained hands of Rev. and Mrs. Hayes and other leaders. The B. Y. P. U. convention opened June 14, without the presence of their worthy president, Sister Nichols, of Winfield, who is now sick, and went right into their program. The work showed every sign of new life and was well conducted by the vise presidents from the various districts. Talents for the Master were used free in readings, solos, choruses, speeches, papers and sermons. Special attention was called to the wonderful renditions given by the chorus from Shiloh Baptist church, Topeka; a wonderful organization of young Rippling Rhymes The man who tells how good he is should drop that stunt in haste; he merely makes men sigh, 'Gee whiz, and think he shows poor taste. I hope that I have sterling worth, of which my neighbors tell; I hope that I adorn the earth on which I deign to dwell; I hope I'm loaded to the guards with qualities so fine that I'm a model to all bards who write the lifting line. But I must show them by my deeds, which are in daily view, and not by empty words or soreeds, or with my loud bazoo. My merits will be known to all, though I am like a clam; I do not need to hire a hall to tell how good I am. If in anything, excel, the town will know the fact; I do not need to ring a bell attention to attract. The man who's prone to emphasize his claim to harp and crown soon finds that all the other guys expect he'll jump the town. True worth in modesty arrayed is sweet and passing fair, but when it's brazenly displayed we guesa, it isn't there. With blue prints of my merits 'bright your ears I shall not vex, though I may be a shining light, a credit to my sex—Clipping. people, filled with the spirit of service, which made them a blessing to the cause of the Master. While these inspirational things were going on, the business went on, as well and they raised $419. 86 The love for Sister Watson in Africa, was expressed by the sum of $70 57. With the B. Y. P. U. State Convention's future resting in the hands of Sister Haman, of.....President; Miss Mattie Bradahaw, of Topeka, Secretary; Prof. J. A. Markham, of Independence. Treasures; the presidents of each district in the states; vice presidents;.....of Cor. See. and a strong Executive Board, the meeting closed to meet in Topeka next June at the Shiloh Baptist church. With Press. H.I. Monroe in the chair, the State Sunday School Convention went into session June 16, and conducted one of the greatest meetings of its existence from every point of view. Each devotion was opened by spiritual workers who put fire in the work. Pres. Monroe called the convention: to order'for the opening; made some timely remarks; and set the machinery in motion, which resulted in a great meeting. Many distinguished visitors were introduced at the visitors' hour. Dr. A. W. Ross, of Coffeyville, preached a great introductory sermon, filled with thought and inspiration. The Thursday afternoon session brought the following papers before us: WAYS TO WORK. 11 How shall the teacher create in the pupil an eagerness to do church work? Primarily, the teacher must do it by example, "Precept may lead, but example will draw." The teacher will be apt to create in the pupil as much love for the church, and for service in it as he shows himself. If he is irregular at the church service and at prayer meeting he will find if hard for his pupils to attend. The teacher who is not a church member is a decided hindrance in any Sunday School. It is just as important and sometimes vastly more so, for a teacher to be present at church, as to attend the teacher's meeting or the Sunday School itself. There are times when absence from church is destructive disloyalty to the cause of Refuses "Request.. (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., June 1,—Two hundred, Colored citizens of the Second-ward meeting, last Monday night in American Unity Labor hall, unanimously passed a resolution commending Judge K. M. Landis for his refusal to reopen a building at 35th street and Calumet avenue, which he has closed because of dry-law violations. The same resolutions condemned Ald. Robert R. Jackson, Thompson-Lundin he nchman from the second ward, for "seeking to reopen this public nuisance in our residential district." Ald. Jackson appeared before Judge Landis last Thursday with a petition that the ban against the building be removed. He said he represented Negro Knights of Pythias, who wanted the place for drill purposes. At present they are quartered above the Entertainer's Cafe. The Judge summary refused Jackson's request, ordered an investigation of the lodge. Christ. Often a teachers's attitude alone will determine for an entire class the interest in, or indifference to the church. It is not affirmed that a teacher can attend every church service but he can maintain a fundamentally loyal never-to-be-doubted or misunderstood attitude toward the church, whereby his pupils are influenced a right. With that as an essential basis, what reasons may be presented to his pupils for their membership and service in the church. First, because the church is engaged in a work that is worth while. There are occasional exceptions to this rule but take it largely, the church is doing a greatly needed work for humanity at home and abroad in the face of many difficulties and dangers, in which any young man or young woman might be proud to share. It is a work for the people who are at the bottom as well as for the mass between. The church not only renders actual social service on an unprecedented scale, but supplies the consistent motive for it as well. It is a channel for helpfulness unequaled anywhere. Uniting one's strength with the other member multiplies one's power. There is no church but can be made a big factor in the life of a community, along the lines of its highest life. To get the vision of such service and to share in it is to invest one's life most vitally It is such service that we rush as most satisfying when the end of life comes. During Genera Grant's last illness General Howard called upon him and spoke earnestly of his service to the nation, and how long it would be remembered. Grant interrupted ruffly, but feelingly said, "Talk about prayer. Howard Tell me more about that." Greater than Howard's fighting capacity, and his empty sleeve bore witness that it was not small, was his ability to help a comrade in the deeper needs of his soul. To that need, as well as to the material needs of life, the church ministers, and disciplines its members in such service. Second, it follows closely that the church offers opportunity for the discipline of our best capacities. The appeal of the church is always to the highest within us. It is this noblest part of our selves which the church sets a worm. The qualities which are represented by such great words. MARCUS GARVEY STILL AT WORK (By The Associated Negro Press) New York City, N. Y., June 24, Marcus Garvey is the head of the Negro Independent association, which owns the Black Star Line, and the hope of which is to make Africa solidly black one of these days. He preaches that hope to his followers. The N. I. A. has branches in the West India Islands and in Panama and Cuba and the like, and is said to have a membership of 4,000,000 Negroes each of whom is said to pay 1 cent a day. That is $40,000 daily, not to speak of the bond- selling privileges, and it may be that, Marcus Garvey really could loan the republic of Libera the $5,000,000 at a pinch. $3,000,000 of which it stands in need. The United, States, however, will probably loan the republic of Liberia $5,000,000. Because if Uncle Sam does not accommodate Liberia to this extent John Bull will. Or if John Bull remains obdurate, which is not, all likely, Marcus Garvey will be introduced. The story is one of international relationships. African West coast affairs, the oil business and the race problem. One might, perhaps, best take it jointly. Oklahoma City. News. I am well at present and am doing very well, but time is some what dull here times are expecting to be much better soon. The North Canatain river is out of its banks and is doing a lot of damage to people and gardens. The Tulsa relief fund of this city is doing a great thing toward the sufferers in Tulsa, they are sending them food, money and clothes. The U. N. P. P: is a great organization here. A meeting was held at the Church of the Living God on last Sunday evening at 4:30 p. m. Several speakers occupied the rostrum, several things were said for the upbuilding, of the Colored Race. A white gentleman was present he presented a good location in Mexico for the Colored People. This city is a little dull and business is a little slow. Sevice at the Church of God was good all day. Elder Hodges, of Luther, Oklahoma preached the morning and night Sermon. He preached two able-bodied Sermons and was well attended; I hope I will be able to send in some more new subscribers in short. as Faith, hope, love, are strengthened by the church life. They asked Oliver Wendell Holmes why he attended church and he replied: "Because I have in my soul a little flower called reverence, which I desire to present and cultivate." It is the business of the church to deepen our reverence. The gymnasium is for the body, the school primarily for the brain, but the church is for the soul, not omitting body or brain. The theatre may incidentally, or accidentally, make its appeal to the soul, but that is not its primary purpose. First, it must pay, then, perhaps, it may preach. The church is not trying, to get, but to give. It seeks to help men to be, rather than to have. It is the only business in the world which is not a money-making institution. Its inselfishness calls forth the same spirit in us. It is an institution (By The Associated Negro Press) President King of Liberia is in the country, accompanied by R. K. Morris familiarly known in Liberia as "Up The River" Morris who is the state treasurer, and Mayor Johnson of Monrovia, which is the capital of Liberia Mr. Johnson is worthy of a moment's attention because he is the grand potenate of the African empire, and in that capacity wears a red wrapper and a starry crown when he goes on parade, which he has and does.

The message to be sent to London says: "The alliance heretofore has weakened Chinese esteem for British people owing to the aggression of Japan, regarded as having risen from the pact. If renewed the Chinese feeling will be aggravated, reacting on friendly feeling toward the British and having a direct influence ont rade." 'The message that goes to 1Washington reads: "We keenly apprehend a renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, since its conception. It has been fateful to the peace of China and if renewed will have a tendency to aggravate Japanese aggression upon Chinese interests and be a disturbing influence on the peace of the Far East. Pray use your efforts to influence Great Britain to cease strengthening the hands of Japan." Theatre Movement Washington, D. C. June 24—The new quarter Million Dollar Republic theatre of Washington has already become the center of recreational and social life among the Colored people of the national capital Located on You street, near 14th, known as the "center of circumference" this structure of luxurious appointments has literally become "the talk of the town." From the day of the opening there has been a daily pilgrimage of the populace to enjoy the entertainment offered there. The furnishings and equipments of the Republic theatre are not excellent anywhere in the country, and afford an example of the high state of appreciation capital has reached in catering to the wellbeing and comfort of Colored patronage. It is interesting to note the high standard upon which the Republic is conducted. Walter Pinchback the son of Hon. P. B. S. Pinchback, of La., is the manager and Joseph Douglass, the granson of the great statesman, Frederick Douglass, is the leader of the orchestra. teaching us to serve others. Third, the church offers us the choicest association. Our friendships are the richest assets of our lives. We can make friends among the church young people under the safest conditions. Other things being equal, the young people engaged in church work are more surely of a type to be congenial and helpful. When we permit friendship to grow with those who are not workers or members in the church, we endanger the continuity and fruitfulness of our own Christian purpose." Every pastor and older Christian has seen young people lose their grip on Christian things by alliance with those outside the 11th (Continued on page four) $1.50 Sport Shirtings.....98c Pretty designs in 36 inch white sport shirt- ing—Extra Special.....59c 75c Pongee.....59c Rose Natural, Brown, Grey, Black and White in 36 inch Silk Pongee. $1.50 Pongee.....98c Extra fine quality in pure Silk Pongee Natural Color THE SILK SHOP 138 No. Main St. WICHITA, ```markdown ``` Plaits, Curls, Transformations, Wigs.

THE NEGRO STAR is now the adopted instrument on which the Sunday School Convention will play; will you connect, so you can hear the tunes? HAVE you written a personal letter to your representatives in Congress, asking him to stand by the Negro as Register of Treasury? If not, do so today. You voted for him to protect you and your needs and the race needs more recognition, not illess, because it has done more. It won't be out of place to ask him to not forget you in the cutting of the pie as you stood by him when his chance was slim. EVERY outlook is for the greatest Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress ever held in America, people from all over the world are here and methods and doctrines are being taught that the old Baptist ship will sail with more ease. We have experts, who are able to stop up every leak, where faith might be mixed with delusion and caused trouble on the side. It has been a puzzle to our race in America how the United States could be so much interested in the blood shed, disorder or rebellion in Haiti that it should send Marine forces to protect the law there, when LOCAL NEWS.

This government is so anxious that there shall be no disturbances in far off lands whille there is as horrible crimes committed on the innocent as could be committed by human beings and still the power of this government is stronger for the protection of foreigners than its own citizens, who have stood the test of ages. Even free speech is to be cut off from Haitians, like the black man's in many parts of this country. Now, the Haitians have not mistreated the government nearly so much Mexico, nor has there been as many revolutions and still we know of no marine station in Mexico. If it is the propaganda we know of no vile propaganda than Mexico put on the market at times. Now we hold that it is really a puzzle, we would hold that it was because it was a black race and needs the white Man's protection and supervision, but it has black citizens and it is not that particular about their protection even living under its flag. You say, "they will kill one another;" but we hold, if you don't know to mete out justice at home to the blalack man, you will make a poor out away from home. We believe every Negro in America should petition their Senators and Congressmen to have government to call in the marines and spend that energy safeguarding the laws of its own land. If Haiti wants help, let a religious troop of Christians go over to Haiti with education and religion and they will get the right view of a Christian civilization.

"Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?" Why not safeguard characters by choosing for its environment those who are growing up in ways of Christian service? Fourth, whatever is put into the beginning of life is put into the whole of life. Where can a better place for investment be found than through the church? As they get older, having some accumulation of experience and purpose, men begin to look for a place to put their moral savings, so that they may help others. Then they turn to the church. It was Grant again, they tell us, who said in his last days that he wished he could live a year in health and strength as a faithful member of the church so that he might give a full witness for Christ. If he had only done that at the beginning! No man can omit this in his youth and make it afterwards. In youth is the best time to tie up to the church. As President King says, "The kind of stuff you are now making (in youth), is the stuff you must stay with forever." So that he who in youth neglects the church, is neglecting the great banking and trust company which can handle his moral and religious capital to the best advantage. Finally, the teacher must urge young people to share the life of the church because they owe God the full service of their lives. Can they not render it outside the church? Never so fully or so well. The burden of proof lies upon every well-meaning servant of God and follower of Calvary Baptist Calvary Baptist Church, Corner, Water and Elm Streets—Rev. S. B. Butler, Pastor. Strangers are invited and are cordially welcomed. Make this your church home while here. Sunday School 9:30 a.m., Bro. H. T. Sims, Supt. All children are welcome and urged to attend. Preaching, 11:00 a.m. The real concern of man is neither wealth, appetite nor popularity—It is religion. Rev. Butler preached two strong sermons last Sunday. The morning sermon was found in the 125th Psalm, 25th verse; Theme: "He that trusteth in the Lord cannot be removed." This sermon was preached with great force and clear understanding to all. Sinners, you should have heard it. Night sermon found in the Book of Jude, 20th and 21st verses; Theme: "Building up yourselves." Many a practical thought was gotten out of this wonderful discourse; Many a gem for the young that should inspire them; Many a pleasant thought for the old. Jesus Christ to show cause why he is not in the church. In this union of God's children there is strength, efficiency, inspiration. It will cost something and something big. It could not command our respect if it did not. When the judgement day comes "God will not look us over for medals, degrees or diplomas, but for scars." The best soldiers are in the army, sharing its discipline and campaigns, not running a little guerilla side show of their own. Old John Burns, of Gettysburg, was brave and picturesque but he would have been far more useful in ranks. Wickedness is always united. "Birds of a feather," when they are really of a kind, "flock together." Get in ranks! Accept the discipline! Attend drill! Study the tactics! Exhulate Paul, who immediately on his conversion, "assayed to join himself to the disciples;" and Jesus who lined up, so far as Heould, with the religious organizations of His day, until it cast Him out and crucified Him.
