Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.34 THE NATIONAL BAPTIST MEETING The National Baptist Convention held in St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 6-11, was in many respects the best meeting in the history of the Convention. That of course is nothing more than it should be, because the rays from the light of all the previous centuries are focussed upon this new day. The attendance was less than usual only about 2000 messengers. It being December instead of September. This seemed to have served a good purpose however, weeding out somewhat the frivolous and pleasure-seeking, and brought together those whose very presence bespeaks their interest in the kingdom's work. The decisive point as to the Convention's future, centered around the election of the President. Here, a hard battle was fought between Williams and Parks. For more than (8) eight hours the battle raged, during which time no man could tell upon whom the mantle would fall. The final count of perhaps more than two thousand votes showed a difference of about thirty-nine in favor of Williams, who was declared President of the Convention. First Vice President, Taylor of Louisiana. Other officers are about as last year. The election was most fair and satisfactory, it has been our pleasure to witness. The reports of Boards were heard Saturday and Monday, all of which show signs of progress. The auditors' report was quite unique and complete. If present indications mean anything, the promise is far the most constructive program in our denominational life. What the Other Race Thought of the Meeting: The meeting was held at what is known as Kings' Theatre, a neighborhood of wealthy of the other race. When our coming was known, a meeting was held and a protest made. However, the owners were brave and remained true. At the close of the Convention at the hall, the city officers (white) who had been on guard for our protection, were asked what they thought of the Convention; replying, they said:—It is the best and most orderly body we ever handled; we are sorry they are going to leave. The Women's Convention was quite good, not so largely attended as before but very constructive. About the same officers were elected. The Convention next year will meet in California. Special Rates Granted To Alpha Phi Alpha Delegates (Praeton News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 13—The railroads of the country have again granted a reduced fare to the members of the Alpha Phi Alpha who are to attend the 15th annual convention in St. Louis, Mo., on December 27th to 31st inclusive. The rate reduction is based upon the certificate plan of one and one-half fare for the trip and will apply for members and dependent members of their families. It provides that tickets at the regular one-way adult fare be obtained for the going journey on any date from December 23rd to 29th inclusive. When ticket is purchased request is made for a certificate which upon being validated at the meeting by Norman La McGhee, National secretary of the fraternity, will be accepted with payment of one-half fare for the return ticket. From all indications the coming convention is going to be the most largely attended in the history of the fraternity. Last year 32 chapters were represented. The fraternity now has 44 chapters on its roll and 2,500 members. Many chapters have already signified intention to be represented. The St. Louis convention has been denominated the "Pioneers" convention and a special invitation has been sent to every charter member to be present. Nearly all have signified their intentions to be present. Final Annual Address Of Dr. E. C. Morris, Deceased President Of The National Baptist Convention. READ BEFORE THE CONVEN- TION AT ST. LOUIS, MO. . DECEMBER 6, 1922 Continued from last issue. No other organization of Christians representing a distinct denominational group is quite as broad as the National Baptist Convention, which recognizes no sectional lines, nor racial lines. Notwithstanding we are sometimes written down as the Negro National Baptist Convention, which prefix is not in our constitution. Our name and purpose will forever remain as they are, but we are not unmindful of the fact that efforts have been made to divide the organization into regional and sectional conventions, and there are paid agencies at work to that end, but the most illiterate Negro, North, East, South or West is unwilling to subscribe to any such movement, which tends to divide the people of our race. It has been said that some of our good brethren here in the West might lose prestige with Southern Negroes who would attend the meeting. I very much hope that such will not be the case. Many of us are from the South, but we feel that we are your brethren and if your environments have caused you to feel that you have been lifted out of our class, we hope you will be able to bear with us the short time that we shall be present in your midst. We do not represent ourselves as Fundamentalists, Liberals, or Progressives, but as New Testament Baptist who take the Book as our only rule of faith and practice. Forty-two years ago when this convention was organized no reasons could be found at that time to make it a sectional organization, and none worth considering have arisen since and just how the agitation has gotten among us is a mystery. (SECTION TWO) Under the Constitution of this convention the general work of the Baptists is done through seven Boards which cover every phase of the Baptist work. These Boards are made up of one member from every state in the Union and are therefore not sec- (Continued on page four.) Negro Section of North Carolina City Burned Out. (Preston News Service) NEWBERN, N. C., Dec. 15- Sweeping before it more 800 residences, many factories and ware houses, stores churches and other structures, the fire which last Friday destroyed more than a million dollars' worth of property here was finally gotten under control late Saturday afternoon. Fire companies from nearby towns had to be called in to help subdue the devastated flames. The area razed by the fire stretched for half a mile from the western boundry of the city to the Meuse river. The churches destroyed and most of the homes were those of Negroes. The fire started at the Roper Lumber company, and the loss is variously estimated at $250,000. More than 300 Negroes were thrown out of employment at this plant alone. While the flames were raging in the lumber plant, a disastrous fire started in the Negro residential section. Firemen being occupied at the lumber company were unable to respond to the call immediately and it was not until half an hour after the alarm had been turned in that the first hose was stretched in the Negro section. By that time five houses had WICHITA, KANSAS. FRIDAY, Dec. 15, 1922 BIG MASS MEETING. If you think, If you love, If you desire to think, If you desire to love, be present at Calvary Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, Dec. 17, at 8:00 o'clock, to hear Dr. Herbert C. Herring, pastor of United Church, a wonderful speaker with a wonderful message. Will you come and be wonderful hearers? This is the Anti-Lynching Crusade Mass Meeting and your presence will determine your interest. It is your brother and your law being lynched, and it is the minds of the citizens of America being debased—Will you acquiesce by being silent in moments of actions? God forbid! The Calvary Xmas Bazaar Growing In Interest, Monday evening marked the opening of interesting programs at Calvary Baptist Church. It was a musical feature. Tuesday evening, brought forth more interest when the High School Boys were defeated by the High and Intermediate Girls in an old fashion spelling B. Wednesday evening, the oratorical contest raised the standard of entertainment higher and each speaker was at his best but since not all could win, Mrs. Frank Evans took away the prize—a beautiful bouquet. She pleased the audience so well until she received an encore. Thursday evening, the scene changed and an old folk's concert was pulled off and it was an "Old Folks' Concert" that was old. Friday evening, (tonight) the children will please you. Be present and encourage the little folks. been compl't destroyed, and the flames fanned by a high wind, had gained great headway and scores of other houses were in flames. Negro families were easily removing whatever belongings they could from their homes, but the onward sweep of the flames forced most of them to abandon their efforts to save any of their household goods. On account of the high wind sparks were carried several blocks and fires were breaking out in various parts of the city. Several persons were treated at various hospitals for minor injuries. It is said that the disaster originated in the home of W. D. Bryan, starting in his kitchen. Dynamite was used repeatedly in an effort to hold back the onward rush of fire, but this proved to be of little worth. Church rooms, Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C., with scores of private homes were thrown open to the victims of the fire. In spite of this aid, hundreds were forced to spend Friday night in the open, covering themselves with mattresses and blankets or whatever they could. Mayor Clark has requested the State Highway Commissioner to give assistance in sanctioning a road building project that would furnish work to the hundred unemployed Negroes. He said Governor Morrison, Senator Simmons and others of influence would be asked to bring their influence to bear on the commission to grant this plea The railroad company officials will be asked to start rebuilding immediately to aid the unfortunate victims of the fire. Most of the business establishments destroyed employed Negroes mainly.

Ku Klux Klan Barred In London; Even at At A Masked Ball (Preston News Service) London, Dec 14-That Britishers do not want unAmerican activities to spread in England is evidenced by the recent debarment of klan garb at a mask ball. An echo of the Ku Klux Klan war in America gave a dramatic finish to the gayest three arts ball in London's history. The Convent Garden Theatre was crowded with merrymakers when Inspector Grosse of the Scotland Yards, cauntered in evening clothes across the floor and laid hands on the shoulder of a dancer garbed like a Ku Klux Klansman. The man was taken to Bow Street police station without removing his hood, and detained on a charge the nature of which was not made public at the time. At the hearing the prisoner was told that wearing this sort of garb would not be tolerated in England even at a masked ball. English people do not want any klan methods or measures in the dominion; the judge told the man. The Sunday School, B. Y. P. U. Missionary Society, Church a Lodge stand in need of one.

Texas Man Confesses Derailing Train Mineola, Texas, Dec 14-In a confession before Prosecutor Harris and witnesses, John Johnson declared that he had tampered with a railroad switch with the hope of derailing a freight train due to pass about that time with the hope of obtaining some food stuffs from the freight cars he expected to wreck, for his family. But the expected freight was sidetracked at the station below to allow the sunshine express to pass and it ran into the open switch resulting in one death and numerous minor injuries to passengers aboard.

Rannavalona White Woman Attempts To Conceal Theft By Claiming She Was Robbed By A "Big Burly Negro." (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, PA., Dec. 16—In an attempt to account for a shortage of $900 which had been left in her custody led Mrs. Minnie Mitchell, (white) aged 35 years to report details of a robbery in which she said to have claimed her life was threatened by a "Big ear" who entered her home and robbed her. Faced with the possibility of arrest. Mrs. Mitchell is said to have finally broken down in her home before the severe questioning of city detectives and cofessed that the robbery story was a fabrication of her own imagination and ficticious. Officials were led to make a thorough investigation of her story when the details which she is said to have told the police and detectives were found to differ. In the confession she is alleged to have told the police commissioner that her husband and brother-in-law weekly gave her money to deposit in a bank. This, she said, she spent. When the police first went to her house she stuck to her robbery story until one of the officers told her that she was then under arrest. Then she begged them not to arrest her and then told them the truth about the matter. Commenting on the case the officers said they often find persons trying to cover up misdeeds of this kind by a fake robbery story like this one.

The Hi-Y boys are going to have a game of Basket Ball with Winfield Scouts Dec. 21st, at Horace Mann School. Come ready to spend an evening, the like of which can not be compared to any entertainment you might have on that same said evening. The boys want you in the cheering line and they will win the game if you will come. The delegates from the Older Boys Conference reported Sunday afternoon at St. Mary Baptist Church. Their reports were listened to and heeded with great interest by all who heard them. That long anticipated game of Basket Ball between the Live Wire Laboring Boys and the Hi-Y Boys, culminated Thanksgiving evening in defeat for the Live Wire Laboring Boys who challenged the Hi-Ys' or High School Boys to the prey. The game was played swiftly and skillfully but all too swiftly and skillfully for the proud, high spirited Live Wires. It was a sight to see. The ball first in the manipulation of the Live Wires then the Hi-Ys'. The rooters favoring the one or the other or either were on their toes throughout the game. All who were present enjoyed the exhibition immensely. The Hi-Y delegates to the Older Boys' Conference held at Manhattan, Dec. 1-4, was very much impressed with the unique program carried out there and the mutual contact which could be had; also the warm and powerfully fervent friendships and inspiring acquaintances formed there. The slogan adopted by the conference was "Training for Service," a vocational aspect, aiming to help the youth to find his real self and position in society and prepare to serve most efficiently and in as great capacity as possible in whatever vocation and activities he may choose. This is a progressive step in the new order of things—setting a definite objective in the field of vocations and working to the objective. This will evolutionize soceety and economics. It was great to hear expressed what is uppermost in the minds of the youth. It is gratifying to know those things consist not of "fopperium" and "ctake cating" alone as the general tendencies would seem. The principal tendencies would seem that in the years that are to come, if justice gets a hearing, the evil and malicious factions will be in the minority. The sectional conferences conducted by different leaders were inspiring. The Colored boys' being conducted by our Secretry, Mr. W. L. Hutcherson, speaking on, "The "Challenge of The Hour," Mr. Green a Secretary at Topeka, and Mr. E. M. Barnes, class discussion leader for the Booker T. Washington III-Y Boys as trincir of the Quintett. In this aspect the conference marks an epoch in the history of Kansas—there were thirty-three colored boys and four leaders of such groups present at the conference—This has never happened in Kansas before. The boys were well received. The Glee Club composed of the colored boys representing four parts of the state, under the direction of Mr. E. M. Barnes, received much approbation and applause. Topeka sent a quartett which sang and was greatly applauded. Likewise, the Hi-Y boyt' quintett. These boys appeared before the conference several different times. One of the best responses of welcome was given by James Tavlor. President of the Booker T. Washington Hi-Y. The following are some of the impressions which the boys received: "The most impressive session of the conference, although not the most significant, was the last session, Sunday morning, held at a white Presbyterian Church. the speaker asked for boys who were willing to acknowledge Christ as their Saviour and Friend to come up in front of the altar, some twenty-five or thirty boys responded. After they were in a line stretching from one side of the churrh to the other side, the speaker told them to Junction City, News. Rev. G. T. Ralmey, Mrs. J. B. Devine and Mrs. M. D. Jones has returned from the National Convention, and Rev. Rev. Ralmey reports a very successful meeting. Rev. W. E. Harrison, the District Missionary, spent Sunday here and delivered two wonderful sermons at 2nd, Baptist Church. Mrs. Susie Smith, who having attended the funeral service of her very year and near friend Miss Edith Garrett of Wichita, and who took ill while there has not yet fully recovered, altho she is able to partially attend to her Sunday School duties as Supt. On Sunday evening at 5:00 o'clock, a child (white) 5 years of age, disappeared from home and has not yet been found. We all sympathize with the grief-stricken parents. The Boy Scouts of this city held a swell reception with their fathers and other men escorts last week. A coloured group of boys under the leadership of Scouts Master McElroy of Kt.

Ralmey was absent from his church, the members of the Second Baptist Church, enjoyed good services thruout the entire day. The weather was severe on Sunday morning, but a goodly number was out to Sunday School. At 11:00 o'clock, services were opened by usual form and then Rev. W. E. Harrison delivered a splendid sermon on "Justification," which should have been heard by more. B. Y.P. U. services, under the leadership of our most able, but young president, Miss Lois Grimes, were enjoyed by all present; then the evening services, opened by several inspirational songs by choir, and followed by another good sermon by Rev. Harrison, "God's Message Thru Man," were also enjoyed. join hands, and after the Congregation sang two lovely hymns, he told them: (If you boys would go thus into the world, you could captivate it, no army could equal your deeds, all this racial stuff would be settled and you could as Christ and His disciples did, 'draw men unto you.') Edward Johnson. "We as good strong-minded thinking Negroes of today, realize, that as a Race, the eyes of the entire world are set upon us. The main theme that the Conference gave me was a deep realization that the Negro is taking his place." "I liked the Older Boys' Conference view well. It showed the boys the real meaning of Christianity and how we can give our lives to God in helping the uncivilized people. The pretest thing that interested me was how the white boy was looking on the Indian boy, the Chinese boy and especially the Negro boy as his brother." "The thing that impressed me most was the fact that the young white boy is beginning to see the Negro as his brother in Christ. This can only be made possible by all striving for the same goal, a higher standard of contageous Christian Character." John Yancy. THE WHITE WAY CAFE With the best of food on the market.

RELIGIOUS TRAINING is more and more being recognized as absolutely necessary to promote the best interests of the race. No education is complete which has not been touched by the rod of definite religious training under able instructors. Hence, all Christian Denominations are striving to promote the religious training of the Negro Youth. Woe be upon the Negro who stands in the way of a progressive race by opposing Religious Education in Racial schools. The religious schools of the race are the power for Righteousness and Character which is a large measure to determine the future position of the race along all lines of endeavor. It is highly essential that all Christians of the Race work in an active drama and tenets will permit together for the ultimate spiritual salvation of Humanity. No man need depart from the lofty principles of his particular creed which, if beating truth to the Divine Mission of the CHRIST, must lead on to the hallowed realms of God's eternal FINAL ADDRESS OF DR. MORRIS tional, but national, as a matter of fact the majority of them live, in the North, East, and West, yet no complaint is ever raised by the Southern members. The bitterness that once existed between the Northern and Southern white Christians has no place among us and should not be tolerated for a single moment. We have been accustomed to count our Foreign Mission Board, the oldest, because the Foreign Mission Convention was the first National organization among us. That it has done a great work, no one acquainted with the facts will denv. We have been blessed to have as our representatives men who were fully imbibed with the spirit of Missions; especially as these missions refer to Heaven; Yet no man need be so narrow in this age of approaching World-wide BROTHERHOOD of Men, based upon the sublime conception of Christ as the Savior of all men who BELIEVE the message of Truth that he can not catch a vision of the mighty works being wrought in the Master's name by forces with which he does not affiliate in the Religious world. A spirit of liberality must be the key-note of the Negro Churches in order to cement racial unity and insure a progressive development of the Christian forces which must eventually work the leaves that is to save the race not only from terrors without but satanic forces within. A race without harmonious concord on ecclesiastical matters is a race materially weakened in the battle to be staged in this old world soon or late for racial supremacy. Such liberality cannot weaken the tenets of any particular racial ecclesiastical group, and but make the race stronger by enabling all forces to better understand the aims and desires of the whole people along spiritual and material lines. the people of Africa, a continent that has long been neglected by the Christian world. Dr. L. G. Jordan spent twenty-five years in the service of this Board and retired of his own accord. He was succeeded by Dr. J. E. East, a splendid young man who has spent several years on the mission fields of Africa. I am sure when you shall have heard his report, you will be gratified at the work accomplished. May I add just a word to our foreign activities? We, like Israel of old were made captives in this land, but unlike them we were made free and by the constitution made 1ee citizens. Yet when word, comes to us of the dismembered condition of our fathland, and of the awful religious condition of the people, if we are near able or willing to return to them, we can at least send them the bread of I am mentioning here our Home Mission Board second, when in reality it should take first place in all of our activities. Jesus says: "Ye be witness unto me both in Jerusalem and in Judea and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth." Nothing is plainer than this declaration and should find a place in our churches. Quite a remarkable work has been accomplished on our own Home Field, and yet there is much more to be accomplished. Since the year, 1900 there has been the most friendly co-operation between the Southern Baptist Convention and this Convention. The Southern Baptist Convention recognizes our Convention as the one outstanding organization with which to deal in matters of co-operation. We have sought and are still hoping that the Northern Baptist Convention may see its way clear to co-operate with us without splitting us up into factions. We now have missionaries in several states, who are being jointly supported by the two Boards. EDUCATIONAL BOARD. SUNDAY SCHOOL, PUBLISHING BOARD. Great progress has been made by our Sunday School Publishing Board this year, and I feel sure you will have been elated when you have heard the report. Beginning early in the year, the Secretary launched a plan to raise $30,000 with which to buy grounds and erect a $20,000 building. The ground breaking has already taken place. We should also rejoice that the Baptist people over the country have awaken and are now the patrons of our Board. I am not throwing any flowers when I say that there has been no friction in the Board of the B. Y. P. U., since its organization. It has simply held to its mooringsand sent forth its agents and organized our young people in all parts of the country. It was fortunate in co-operating with the Sunday Schools in calling to the Presidency of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, one of the sanest and most level-headed young men to be found anywhere in this country. This auxiliary deserves the unstinted support of the parent body. BENEFIT BOARD. The Benefit Board has undergone many changes, but it seems that at last it has the right man in the last place and greater progress has been made the present year, than in any year past. I have noted the activities of this Board, during the year, as I had almost despaired of its succeeding, but I think that you will be pleased at its progress. We all know the intents and purposes which called this Board into existence and into denominational service. But we know also, that the Board has not had the funds, nor even fairest sort of showing to make good. The men who have been handling its affairs are good men, and the efforts to put the Board over as a business deal have been very commendable. Let us hope that, as long, the Negro Baptists of the country will realize that they need such a Board, and will come to the rescue with the funds and the patronage necessary. IN CONCLUSION.

Our work as Baptists all over the United States has compared favorably with the work of other denomintions. We have built church houses and schools; we have launched and supported newspapers and magazines; we have sent our Sunday School Publishing House many degrees higher than last year.

Oliver preached to us two good sermons. Our pastor has just returned from St. Louis, where he attended the National Baptist Convention; he tells that the Convention was laregly attended this year. We are proud to know that he enjoyed the trip. Sunday night when the service was open our pastor walked to the pulpit; kind of a surprise to us because we did not look for him until later in the week. We were certainly glad to see him back. We are doing fine over here, the Lord still adds to our flock; so we are going on. Our pastor also tells us of our new President, Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago, Ill. We are always proud of visitors at our church. Our Sunday School is growing rapidly. Come thou with us and we will do thee good. Sunday Morning, Dec. 3, Rev. Mr. Hayes, our pastor preached from St. John 8:31; "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, if ye continue in my word, then ye are my disciples indeed." Sunday afternoon, a Baptismal service was held at Calvary Baptist Ch., for New Hope Baptist Church; Rev. Hayes preached the Baptismal Sermon. There was a goodly number who took on the Lord Jesus Christ by Baptism. A wonderful service it was. Sunday evening, Rev. Mr. W. H. Beasly preached to us on the subject: "A wonderful Christ," The subject was taken from Psalm 9:6. Rev. Beasley has known our pastor since the pastor was a boy. Rev. Beasley is quite an experienced man, has preached a number of years. in the absence of our pastor, Rev. J. W. Hayes, our assistant pastors officiated. Sunday morning Rev. J. F. Greene brought us the message from 2 Cor. 5:10; text, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." Rev. Greene endeavored to show us that whether a man lives well or bad, he must appear before the seat of judgment. Another point he tried to show us was the irrespectiveness of God in His judgment and dealing of justice. Another point was the cry of accusation against one for the lack of discharging his duty. Sunday evening Rev. B. C. Rannavalona, the other assistant pastor, preached on "The Passing of Jesus." St. Luke 5:4—"Jesus passing thro' the midst of them went his way;" was the text. St. Paul Notes. Last Sunday morning, a splendid audience heard Rev. Pope deliver a convincing sermon on the subject of "The Perils of an Empty Life." Not withstanding the low temperature there was a good attendance at both services and they heard some eloquent and inspiring talks on the Scriptures and also good spiritual renditions from the choir. Five new classes were organized in the Sunday School and the teachers have manifested a special interest in the training class, which was organized last Thursday evening. Next Sunday morning, the pastor will speak on the subject: "Coworker with God." At three o'clock the Pastor will deliver the Sacremental Sermon at Grant Memorial Church 16th and Mosley, and they cordially invite everybody to come. The drive for the new budget system will begin on the first Sunday in January and they anticipate a hearty response by members and friends. You are always welcome. At Church. S. S. at 2nd Baptist Church was well attended with that interesting lesson: "Jesus the Friend of Sinners." Mrs. H. Buckner, the very efficient superintendent certainly gave a very interesting talk on the lesson. The morning service was up to the high standard. The pastor having just arrived from the District Board meeting of Great Bend, brought words of encouragement from the many good ermons, and of the future plans of that department. He gave a splendid ternon from Jude-- AMONG THE CHURCHES "Contend for the faith" which gave great enthusiasm to a hearty handshaking degree. Tne B. Y. P. U., with its wonderful little superintendent Mrs. P. H. Cook, is a source of great inspiration. 6:30 p. m., finds a bunch of earnest workers at their posts of duty, eager to do service Rev. J. C.

The subject was "Controling Yourself," found in Matthews 4:1-12. "Control.ng Yourself" is a very broad subject. There are many things all persons should control. Some of the things to be controled are: First, you must control yourself as a whole; if you can't control yourself, you are a very poor piece of anatomy or some other substance that isn't worth its weight. Take for an instance a little story worth patentizing: "A certain colored man was told when young never to let any one call him a lie, or curse him." He was in a large city, a white drunken man pushing a cart hailed for him to help him. He went on as if he didn't hear. The white man being drunk, cursed him to everything he could think of. Let's just say the colored man being young went back and beat the white man. It caused a mob or the man was condemned by the judge to a jail sentence. All because he didn't have enough self-control to leave the drunken old man alone. Take another instance; say you would go to a big family dinner you would eat, eat, eat until you could not eat. It would make you very sick just because you didn't have enough self-control to stop eating. This land must be sold at once. It will make an ideal chicken ranch.
