THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.13,No.36 LISTRICT MISSIONARY HOLD NG MEETINGS. A splendid plan was adopted by Rev. A. W. Ross B. Th., pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, Coffeyville, and Rev. Chas. Teal, pastor of the Maple Street Baptist Church, Independence, Kansas, which proved to be both unique and helpful. Each pastor and church decided to hold a two weeks' meeting and to send for the District Missionary of the S. W. Dst. M. B. Association to do the preaching during the meeting, while they, (the pastors) make the appeals to the unsaved. The first to hold the two weeks' service was pastor Ross of Coffeyville, who had his forces splendidly organized praying bands met in each section of the city daily; a choir of 25 voices added zest to the occasion. The sermons were good, the spirit in the meeting, fine, and the people came in large crowds each night. The church was greatly revived. Twenty-three were added to the church, ten of which being converts. The church has added a unique feature to its general religious work by he introduction of an Educational Branch; school classes from 1 to 8th grade, are held every Monday night which is open to the public. Over 50 students ranging in ages from 7 to 65 years. The school which is under the absolute auspices of the Calvary Baptist Church is taught by Prof. J. A. Dodd and Prof. Sterling James, both of whom are teachers in the city schools. This branch of the church work has attracted with attention and received many favorable comments at Independence, Rev. Teal, started his series of meetings in the early part of December with a sulendid organized system which included regular prayer bands. A selected choir and earnest workers the services which were ducted by the Rev. Matt S. Jones, District Missionary, were of exceptional order teaming with spiritual inspiration that lifted all hearts to a high place in nobler thoughts of positive Christianity. Fifteen converts accepted Christ and a total of 21 were added to the church. Monday night a spendid reception was tendered the District Missionary by members of the Maple Street Baptist Church at which a larger box of new clothing including wearing apparels for his children and family were given to Bro Jones, who accepted the gift with warm expressions of appreciation. Both of these churches are in excellent condition spiritually and financially with bright prospects for greater success in their positive work for the Master and His cause. Atchison. Kansas Notes.

After the announcements and another song, the pastor selected his text from three passages: 1st, H.b. 11:20 "Esteeming the reproach of Christ, greater riches than the treasures in Egypt." 2nd, Ex. 33:13 "Now therefore, I pray thce if I have found grace in thy sight," etc. 3rd, Num. 12:3 "Now the man Moses was very meek above all the men which were upon the face of the earth. The subject was the character of Moses. The three qualities that gave Moses prominent were:—1st, Faith; th's caused him to see the invisible as well as the visible. 2nd, Prayerfulness; and 3rd, Humility. All three of these texts were handled in a masterful way and so well blended together and interwoven that it was hard to tell where one left off and the other began. However, it was very clear that all three were essentials to every Christian life. It was these three things that made Moses the greatest man in all Egypt. D. Y. P.

New Hope Baptist Church is a member of the above named Association and has been since August when Revs. Swindall and Bledsoe carried it into this Association in session in Manhattan, Kansas. We joined this Association because it was our choice, being legally organized; we exercised our rights and privileges as Baptist; for here is plenty of room for New Hope Baptist Church to exist.

Inhumanity is not good seed to sow. It is the forerunner of a mighty poor harvest. Rights are not toys. They represent to the fullest responsiblities and responsibilities are not to be played with. That public approval wears the longest which comes is a response to effort sincerely based on the desire to serve. Right or wrong the Japanese inspire respect. The Pan African uca will be most important when it reacts the place where it will be honestly feared. No matter what anyone says, we need a few Katos. Goal football players and class and commencement oraors are all right as such, but in these days life is making a real demand for MEN. the season for good fellowship and not race congresses.

NOTES. ```markdown ``` That association causes a likeness of those with whom we associate? So be careful of your associates least you fall into the wrong company. Thet Mr. Powel, one of Wichita's splendid Saxophonist, thinks there is a similarity between a mail-box and a trash-can? This is evident in the fact that Miss Dorothy Sims gave him a package to mail and he politely deposited it in a trash-can. That if our fore-thought were as infallible as our "hind" that we would be able to avoid many obstacles that await us in our paths of life? But there is, however, an almost sure way of dodging some of the unpleasantness of life, and that is to "look before you leap." That an individual is not measured simply by his financial or literary attainment but how well he can use these in the service of humanity? That a real teacher not only helps to shape the literary side of the child's life; but also stresses the religious side? That the day is coming when there will be demanded by the times, religious training? Let's start now in order that it won't go so hard with us when we are forced to do so. That the main current of thought from the Y. M. C. A. Conference held in Cincinnati on the first of this month ran toward Christian Brotherhood? That Sunday will be an extraordinary day? Not only Xmas but the beginning of the pastorate of Rev. J. W. Hayes at Calvary? That we should live the spirit of Christmas daily? This season should not merely mean the exchange of gifts, but the prevailing thought should be to make some poor cast-out lift up his head. We can remember reading of that commemorably pleasant and joyful season of the year when we are told the Angels sang across the Judean Plains, heralding throut the world and spreading the glad tidings that a gift had been made to the earth. So the underlying principle in us should be to give rather than receive; for if we be givers in the real sense of the word, receiving will be taken care of. If you have not begun thinking you should begin the first of this coming year, and fill your niche in this great drama of life. The real aim of this paper fundamentally, is to start a current of wholesome thought and thinking* You may be the genus. What do you desire to say in this column?

On Tuesday evening the "Willing Workers' Club" put with a tacky party at Mrs. Lunkins' address on East 3rd St. Mrs. Lunkins ent- tained royally raising $9.75 for the club. Mrs. Farnie Clay took Sret prize(a beautiful hand painted plate) for being the most treky dress at the party. On Wednesday night at prayer meeting $1.45 was raised. Then on Thursday and Friday nights the Mission Circle held their bazaar at the church, taking in a nice amount, which will be given after district missionary makes her report. God is wonderfully blessing us financially as well as spiritually. Sunday moran, Dec. 18. Sidney School opened by Superintendent, Sister Susie Smith at 3 o'clock by PRICE, FIVE CENTS Without any doubt, the most enthusiastic event of the year was the Basket Ball Game between the Newton team and the local Hi-Y Club. The Newton fellows were experienced, while the local boys were "under fire" for the first time. The visitors won 30 to 21. The scores are indications of a close game. The spod and tears work of our boys were a source of pride and surprise to the home folks. They reflect great credit upon themselves and the untiring efforts of their trainer, our secretary. At the Community Meeting on Sunday, the boys gave report of the National Conference, held in Cincinnati. The reports indicated how attentive the boys were to their mission and trust. Their reports were inspiring to all. The following is an extract of a letter to the Secretary:--- 'colored Men's Dept. 347 Madison Av. New York, Dec. 17, 1921. My Dear Mr. Hutcherson:— Most favorable comment was made upon your delegation to the Cinchinatl Conference and I am sure it will mean a great deal to your work in the future.

H. E. Marshall, Reporter. B. Y. P. U. Greetings. Holton, Kansas, Dec. 23, 1921. To the B. Y. P. U. Presidents, Pastors and Co-Workers of North East District: The year of 1921 is drawing to a close. Christmas will soon be here, and let us all remember one who is end and lonely by a pleasant smile, a flower or some token of love. Let us not forget our educational fund and missionary fund! And as the New Year unfolds its pages, let us begin anew and make the year the best in the B. Y. P. U. History. Do a kind act each day. Let us begin our B. Y. P. U. Work anew. When the affairs are installed, help them, attend every meeting in 1922. Work for new members and remember the little verse. Our lives are albums written through with good or ill, with with faults or truths and when the blessed angel turns the pages of our lives; God grant they read the good with smiles and blot the bad with tears. Wishing you one and all a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Please allow me to say in this edition that I visited the Independent Baptist Church in Glenmara, pastored by Rev. S. I. Mitchell. I got there in time to listen to a deep thinking discussion about 'the confidence the Apostle Paul had in Philemon.' They applied that confidence with the confidence that we first must have in ourselves consolidated and then we can have a true confidence in others. The Superintendent tapped the bell that the time was out and allowed me to say something in behalf of the newsy Negro Star; and the following named persons listed; Rev. S. I. Mitchell, 3 months, Box 193; M. C.MoGair, 3 months; II. Bosley, Box 226, 3 months, Glenmara, La. Afterwhich Bro. E. W. Williams conducted praise meeting; Prof. W. H. Harris offered prayer. We had a warm Praise meeting. Dr. S. I. Mitchell came forward and took for his text 1st chapter of Philemon, 21st verse. "Having confidence in thy obedience wrote unto thee knowing that thou wilt a so do more than I say." Dr. Mitchell made our hearts burn within us of the Holy Spirit. He said to his hearers, "We have worked together in this church for five years in peace and happiness as Christians and have not had any confusion and I have the confidence in you and am praying for you to continue fighting for the Master. Let me say here, after visiting Glenmara my second time, I can say without a word of contradiction that the friendly disposition that has existed between the white and colored races has caused the colored people to buy homes and classify themselves and build a large Grammar School with good Prof. E. D. Hughes, Rev. S. I. Mitchell, Prof. S. Y. Love age, Prof. H. Y. Clayton and others as leaders to educate the boy and girl, that they may protect themselves for the future day come. Yours for -- Race, Joseph W. Williams, Box 161. To the Members of the bereaved family and Friends:— Mr. Ira Bailey was born in New Ibera, La., in the year 1900; he was 21 years of age at the time of his death. Mr. Bailey met his death on Dec. 5, 1921 about 9 p. m., at Buffalo, Kansas. In the death of Mr. Bailey we have suffered a very keen loss. It was given by few men to make so many friends as Mr. Bailey during his association here for the past year. His conscientious devotion for his work, his never failing effort, his tret, his courtesy to all with whom he came in contact, won him their friendship, admiration and respect. Mr. Bailey was a clean-minded and thoroughly earnest young man. He was a man who endeared himself to all of his fellowmen. It is doubtful if there are many men having as many friends as Mr. Bailey among both white and colored. His death was caused by 7 shots being fired into his body by his so-called friend (Ed White) co-ored. His death caused an aching void which will be hard to fill great as was the shock of Mr. Bailey's death to us who have known him intimately to such a short time. It can in no manner approach that of his dear ones, and we wish to extend to them our heartfelt sympathy of the entire company (Baffa o Brick Plant) of which he was a laborer. Mr. Bailey boarded with Mrs. Jas. Bray for better than three months and was always gentlemanly and we all thought well of him and miss him greatly. The Lord gave and the Lord There's a Real Difference In the Quality of Meats You no doubt have often noticed that sometimes the meats you buy are GOOD, and at other times so tough and fibrous as to be almost worthless. Maybe you have thought this was true of all meats and you just had to take a chance. If so let us correct this impression. It's no trouble to tell poor meats if you know how. You could tell them yourself if you had the proper training. It takes years, however, to become an expert. We have been trained in the art of selecting meats since childhood—it has been our life's work. This knowledge costs Whitlock's patrons nothing, but it insures tender, juicy meats for them at all times. Put us to the test.

By Mrs. Jas. Bray. The past life of Mr. Bailey from the year 1918 was well known by Mr. Lige Williams and he always knew him to be an upright, conscientious, hardworking young man. Mr. Keesee who had known Mr. Bailey for only about one year, held him as a true friend and one that could be depended upon when a friend was needed. He was very loyal and manly. About 20 minutes before his death he spoke of going home to visit his relatives, and also said it was awfully hard to be homesick. He was very anxious to get to see his people having been been away from home six long years, and receiving one letter from his father six months ago. He had been dreaming of his people and believed something had happened to them. His death was a shock to his many friends. Gone but not forgotten. By Mrs. C. E. Craft. Mr. Bailey was known by Miss Louise Ratcliff only two and one-half months, but was a gentleman in every way; he was always wilting to pay his honest debts. His funeral was held at the City Hall of Buffalo, Wednesday, Dec. 7, praced by Rev. J. S. King, pastor of B. B Church of Cherryville. Mr. Bailey was laid to rest in the Buffalo Cemetery. Mr. C.

Prayers of old moved the powers of heaven to act for the best interests of an enslaved race, and a resort to prayer now will again gain heaven's will for the passage of the measure above all others at this time so essential to the future welfare of not on y the American Negro but to the American Government.

(By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 16- President Harding has a thoroughy American message to Congress, according to the opinion of a majority of the people. The President made no reference to racial matters, nor lynching. This is regarded as being in keeping with the fundamental purpose of the message, and the avowed ideals of the Administration of talking to all Americans alike. With reference to lynching, a subject occupying much attention in Congress with Administration backing, the Dyer bill promises to take early precedence over other legislation. In other words, Congress is at least aroused to the necessity of healing the wounds of disappointment in the body politic caused by the infliction of painful silence. "Passing the Buck," has become one of the seasons' pastimes. House members and Senators who returned from a brief vacation to the homelands, bring back news of most disquieting unrest because there has not been enough practical politics played in the new Administration. There are murmurings about the White House with fingers pointed in the direction of Capital Hill; and there are murmurings on the hill about affairs at the other end of the avenue, politically speaking. Around Republican Headquarters National-in the Munsey Building, which is about half way between the two other locations, they are pointing their fingers with outstretched hands, in both directions. The p'ain facts of the case, as viewed from the Washington monument, which gives a bird's-eye-view of all, there should be considerable speeding up in all directions. Alibis and "passing the buck" will not carry the cause of 1922. Party workers, who get out in the dust and mud and tune the ectorate up to singing the song of victory on the first Tuesday in November, will refuse to accept excuses. Determined Leadership Needed It is being said by all the folks concerned, and this includes those who are coming up for suffrage approval, or condemnation next year, that a really determined leadership, void of sentiment, is needed. It is being argued, especially by members of Congress, with whom the A. N. P., representative discussed the situation, that the Senate "Pulled a terrible boner," when it failed to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson. The reaction of the Race press on this matter seems to justify the contention of the Congressional side. From one end of the country to the other, the press has condemned the failure in no uncertain terms. As a matter of cold fact, party managers, responsible for the election success of the party, have expressed the fear that the Democrats might continue to play a bit of "Senatorial Courtesy" politics, and put in a personal objection on all Presidential nominations from now on. Investigation by The Associated Negro Press discloses the fact that the majority of the good places by the stalwarts of official preferment, are still occupied by Democrats, a few of whom now profess to be Republicans, and many of whom continue to admit with gusto, that they are "Dixie Democrats." "Turn the racerle out," has become a war cry. They are yelling it everywhere, but it is expected that there will be some heavy dropping from the pay roll before the New Year is old. W. E. Gibbs is retired It will be gratifying information to those who followed the series of articles carried last summer by The Associated Negro Press, to learn that W. E. Gibbs, who was then secretary to Attorney General Daugherty, has been retired from that position, where he could not see why Colored Americans should object to segregation in the Department because white people did not object, and his position has been filled by secretary Martin, who was formerly secretary to the late Senator Knot, Mr. Martin is both a gentleman and a good Republican. Attorney General Daugherty has declared in an open statement that his department must be run with absolute fairness to all. In discussing recently the grave responsibility of selecting thirty-two additional Federal Judges, who are appointed for life Mr. Daugherty declared that they must be men who will be just to all, "rich and poor, white and colored." He further declared that they must be men who will see that all laws are enforced without fear or favor. Special Assistant Attorney General Perry W. Howard has handled the cases assigned to him with such cred it in the "Claims Department" that he has been given privilege of promoting his former clerk, Attorney Lewis Mellinger to be his assistant, and L. R. Lautier, acting a secretary, and C. A. Evans, who was a stenographer for years in the office of the late Senator Knox. "Bascom Slemp to Go." Colored citizens from one end of the country to the other, and a large number of white ones a so, according to first hand information, are "concentrating" their thoughts on the Ninth District of Virginia, in the elections of 1922. They have, they say, selected a thought phrase; it is: "Bascom Slemp must go!" They say that is final, and like the law of the Medies and Persians, will not change. Slemp, shrewd but not clever politician, has it is declared, produced a bunch of sour grapes. It is stated that Slemp now opines that since the "Lily White" scheme failed, in which he is reported to have not favored, all hands can pull together now and organize a "Republican party in Virginia taking in all alike." There has been no one found who has dared to even think of falling for that "Bunk," as one man called it, and therefore, the program of thought concentration, "Bascum Slemp Must go," circulates with growing vigor. Should a Devil Chase The Righteous? .. What Manner of Man Is This? (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D.C. Dec. 16—The United States Senate is the greatest deliberative center in the world. It is famous for its dignity and statesmanship. However, it seems as though the Senate must always be inhabited by a "wild man from Borneo," a man who "eats 'cm alive." At present, the foremost exhibit of this species is the junior Senator from Georgia, Tom Watson. Senator has, according to close observers, surpassed all predecessors in his ability to thrive on things calculated to null down rather than lift up. And there seems to be something distasteful in the name of "Henry" to the Senator. Recently, he took occasion to rise in his seat and proceed to lambast Henry Ford of Detroit, while he praised Senator Newberry. Henry Ford has been a constructive citizen, to say the least, and gives employment to thousands of men. He is now proposing to buy Muscle Shoa's from the Government, and give employment directly to tens of thousands of men, while benefitting thousands of others indirectly. Then came. Senator Watson's attack on Henry Linsoln Johnson, on whom he not only sought to use the rule of "Senatorial courtesy," but made charges on the record of the distinguished son of Georgia. The Knoxville Sentinel, Democrat proceeds to state that the same charge made by Watson against Johnson, and not proved had also been made against the Senator whom he defended while denouncing Henry Ford. There has been much calculating curiosity in political circles as to why Senator Watson defended Senator Newberry, and then a few days later, an overwhelming Republican Senate listened to his plea of "personal objection" and turned down Lincoln Johnson. The United States Senate, it has been remarked, ought to give as much, or little, consideration to courtesies and proprieties when Tom is concerned, as he did to properties when he tried to brow beat the unfortunate Committee that was investigating the Ku Klux. "How long will the Senate endure Tom Watson?" That question has been asked by many. Moves Snow To Find Berries. (By The Associated Negro Press) GARY, IND. Dec. 16—Red, juicy strawberries from Gary gardens may be a possibility. Such a phenomenon was reported here last Monday, Mrs. J. A. Kid went to her strawberry patch, brushed aside an inch of snow and found many large strawberries, which, although a bit frosty, she said were "simply delicious." WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 16 Henry Lincoln Johnson, Negro Republican National Committeeman from Georgia, called last Saturday on President Harding, but on leaving the White House declared there was no discussion of the rejection by the Senate of an appointment which would have made him recorder of deeds in District of Columbia. Politics only was discussed, Mr. Johnson asserted. He insisted that he intended to retain his post as national committeeman for the balance of the four-year term he is now serving and said he would seek re-election on its expiration. G. L. A. Club Meeting. The G. L. A. Club met Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. J. E. Lewis, at the home of Mrs. Ida F. Bates. The program was:—Quotations from Edgar Allen Pos. Reading, "The Raven" Mrs. Ora Carter.

An elegant luncheon was served. Next Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. C. Tillman will entertain the Club at the home of Mrs. Robt. Hill. The Spirit That Wins. CIIICAGO, Dec. 16—You have got to take your hat off to the enterprise spirit of Chicago. Nothing is too big for the "Windy City" to tackle. The two big morn'ng dailies, in a strenuous effort to help their circulation, started simultaneously a "Cash rize" campaign. Neither overlooked the Colored man and brother. Right here is where the Chicago Defender stepped into the limelight with a c'ever block and opened up a "Cash Prize Offer" of its own that is keeping the money in the family. This offer, however, would have to special public value if it were not for the educational value attached to its presentation, is how the Colored people here are looking at the matter. The aforesaid journal is offering 50 cash prizes with a $50.00 cash prize as a headliner, it is true. But this is not the feature that is engaging the salvos of approval which has greeted the announcement. The real meat on the bone is the fact that it is made the basis for a school children's essay contest with the "Life, Character and Accomplishments of Booker T. Washington" as the subject for discussion. There will be a prize for the big folks for the best essay on the Washington theme "This is another instance where Chicago is setting the pace for the rest of the country, in so far as the Race is concerned," said a prominent Colored business man last Saturday. "As to whether one paper or another is doing it has nothing to do with the main question at this time," continued the business man, "but it is important that it is reflecting, in a rather large way, the get-up-and-utit spirit of the most enterprising city in the country." "Ain't this dandy?" exclaimed another enthusiast after he had read the offer. "Me for the 25 and my boy for the 50." Great stuff! It is this kind of spirit that is keeping Chicago on the map. It is waking the whole country. It is putting the "pep" into the business and social life of the people. The DEFENDER is only a part of the big things in sight. Let's go to it, is the word of the hour. NEW YORK, Dec. 16—Thomas A. Edison says a late discovery marks a long step toward manufacturing gold out of base metals. "Lead has been found to contain two ingredients," he said. "What would owners of railroads say if they woke up to find gold could be manufactured as cheaply as pig iron? That wiI happen some day."
