THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.40 MINISTERS AND LAYMEN'S GET TO GETHER MEETING. Last Tuesday evening at Calvary Baptist Church the ministers and laymen's meeting opened with a song, "Where Ho Laude Me," led by Prof. E. M. Barnes. Lesson read by Bro. W. I. Hutcherson from Luke 5th chapter. Prayer by Rev. J. W. Hayes. Bro. W. L. Hutcherson stated the object of the meeting and why called. Bro. W. L. Hutcherson was elected as President and Atty. Fred C. Helm, Sec. A Committee on Findings: Rev. J. W. Hayes, Ch., E. T. Fishbsck, H. T. Sms, Dr. G. G. Brown and F. I Godrey. Rev. E. T. Fishback gave us the back-ground for the Conference "A challenge for a whole life." He said that the development of this life ought not be confined to a 1 day program, but an every day program or seven day church at work. He yiel ed to Bro. W. L. Hutcherson, who ga us the following points, after Rev. L. Pope invoked the blessing on the catacles: God waning busy men; church making a program that is l enough to save the young folls a many o h r things pertaining to t four-fold life and how the churts should take the initiatively in the matters Mr. E. M. Barnes made t first three miniutes talk, emphasize the saying: "I am too busy." He ir pressed the fact that we must do something for the young folls. Re R. L. Pope opened his sayings by ciling our attention that we dwell o the "shall nots" too much in handling the young people, instead of giving them something to do. He thin s "THE VOICE OF THE NEGRO" Listen to the Negro singing, in With a voice so sweetly ringing, In his heart is naught but glad is mind; Never shrouds himself in sadness.

Listen to the Negro singing, in a tone so full of grace. With a voice so sweetly ringing, comm only to his Race; In his heart is naught but gladness, never knowing why he is mad; Never shrouds himself in sadness, tho' his lot is e'er so bad. If he has, or has no money, if he's robust, if he's lame, It is true, but yet seems funny. He is happy just the same; While the white man strives for fortune, leaves the Negro very poor. Give to him for his small portion, justice, and he wants no more. Let us look back through the ages, when this man was bought and sold. Even then he was courageous, and his back flesh coined in gold He was honest toward his neighbor, and would toil hard, when in health, 'Twas the Negro's labor, that has given the South its wealth. Now the Negro longed and waited for the time when he'd be free, just as God anticipated for all men sweet liberty. So Ged sent to him a Moor, while he was in deep distress. As He strewed his path with roses, led him through the wilderness. —DR. I. H. DIXON, Chanute, Kans. FIFTH ANNUAL SOUTHWESTERN STUDENT CONFERENCE. NEW YORK, N. Y., January 25—ee International Y. M. C.

The Committee of Management of the Water Street Branch, of the Ichita, Young Men's Christian As- sociation held their regular monthly meeting, January 10, and after the outline business had been transacted, and the reports had been made; the Executive Secretary made a summary report of the work for the year. This report was very highly approved by the Committee of Management; and several of the men spoke of it as depleting the outstanding year's work, in the history of the Colored work in Ichita. Because of the unusual co-operation on the part of the Churches; and believing that the Community at large would be interested, the Committee authorized the Executive Secretary to solicit the co-operation of the Local papers, in seeing that the report was published, and distributed. The report will be published in sections, covering four or five weeks. Please take a paper when the boy calls upon you. It should be mentioned that this has been a very strenuous year, financially. Our Secretary has worked under great handicap; we feel that the results accomplished do credit to his untiring efforts. With the very fine achievements of the year as an impetus, we should go forward to our goal—a modern Y. M. C. A. Building Committee of Management, H. T. Sims, Chairman, G. G. Brown, M. D. Rec.

LOUISVILLE, KY., Jan. 26—(Special) Notable progress in the betterment of conditions for colored people and in the improvement of race relations was made in Kentucky last year, according to reports presented at the recent annual meeting in this city of the State Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation. This Commission is headed by the Governor, and its membership of eighty, half of them colored, is made up of representative leaders in all lines, including the State Superintendent of Education, who is one, of its most sympathetic members. It will be seen, therefore, that it is a most influential body, capable of bringing things to pass. The work is directed by Dr. James Bond, a colored leader of ability and fine spirit, who has had the sympathy and co-operation of the best people of the State. The efforts of the Commission during the past year were largely directed toward better school facilities for Negroes. Remarkable results were attained, including the following: A $125,000 high school addition, a new high school, and the improve- form you that the State Ec Tuesday, Feb. 7th and 8th Rev. W. H.

Sec. ment of others, in Louisville; a $100,000 high school in Lexington; enlargement of high school at Richmond; new buildings at Mayfield, Jackson, La Grange and other points; participation in proceeds of school bond issues in Bowling Green, Owensboro and Middlesboro; and additional teachers and increased salaries in certain places. The Director was asked by the State Superintendent of Education to outline a program for the betterment of the Negro school system of the State, and suggested the appointment of colored supervisor, the raising of the State Normal to college grade, and the establishment of a new State Normal. This program was accepted, the first two steps have already been taken, and the third is confidently expected next year. The Director was asked to assist also in locating the eight colored summer Normels and was requested to address them on the subject of inter-racial co-operation. He has taken the same message to the principal white colleges of the State and has been heard sympathetically everywhere. Some of these great schools have courses in inter-racial relations and plans are under way to put such courses in others. Better playground facilities have been secured in Louisville, Mayfield and Jackson, and plans are under way a municipal swimming pool in Louisville. Legal aid has been secured for the Negroes of Warren County, a vigorous Health Week Campaign was conducted, reaching 60,000 people, and one tension situation which threatened mob violence was cleared up. In addition to the State Inter-racial Commission, there are about seventy county committees in Kentucky, most of them functioning effectively. The method is that of frank conference and sympathetic co-operation. Five Cents Per Copy Anti-Ku Klux Klan Bill Faces Strong Opposition in North Carolina. RALEIGH, N. C., Jan. 26—The strong opposition in the committee on Judiciary of the Senate to the Bagget bill aimed at the Ku Klux-Klan in this state which makes it a felony punishable by imprisonment for any person to appaer off his premises disguised so as to conceal his identity, caused the measure to be referred to a sub-committee and a public hearing on the bill set for the Senate chamber at three o'clock Thursday afternoon. It is said that the Bagget bill has the support of the leading white citizens from all parts of the state and that scores of them have indicated that they will be on hand to defend the measure at the public hearing. Senator Sqiures announced to the senate that the measure would be opposed. The Bagget bill, which excepts from its provisions persons attending hallow'en parties and properly conducted masquerades and minors under 18 years of age, is one of the two bills against the klan now pending in the general assembly. The other which was introduced in the House of Representatives by Representative Milliken, of Union, provides for the registration of the membership of all secret societies. White Woman Dead; Negro Arrested. COLUMBIA, S. C., Jan. 26—The mysterious death of a white woman at Oler, a small town near here caused the arrest of Thomas Johnston as a suspect. He was lodged in jail last Wednesday morning and that night a mob of white men took him from the fall and carried him to a small thicket with the usual intent of making a pendulum of him by tying a slipnoose around his neck and allowing his body to swing in the air from the end of the suspended rope. But somehow their conscience would not allow them to carry out their premeditated plan and they simply "talked and talked" to Johnston and then turned him over to the officers. It is believed Johnston will await trial in connection with the murder of the woman at the special term of court at Bramberg, which will convene shortly. A PROGRAM LEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK. One of the most far reaching programs yet put over in this community, was that of the Committee promoting National Thrift Week. An unusual Interest was manifested by the men. And at the noon hour each day, they gathered at the different business places and discussed the various topics, led by some outstanding speaker on that subject. In the closing program, Captain W. L. Hutcherson, the man selected by the Business League to promote the program, made the observation that he was most solicitous that this would not be a "Stunt Program;" but that the program projected during this week would be the beginning of a Year of real activities in the endeavor to make "Thrift" a part of the Community Lift. The outstanding feature of the "Thrift Week" Program was the Sunday meeting, held at the Calvary Baptist Church, with the Mayor, W. C. Coleman, as the speaker. This was "Share With Others" day, and the message was on "Christian Stewardship." Mr. Coleman brought us a great ringing message on this very important subject that shall not soon be forgotten. Among other things, Mr. Coleman said; "Twenty-five years ago, the philosophy of the Business World was, "Live and Let Live;" but that of the 20th Century was "Live and Help Live." In Christian Fellowship, the Challenge is up to us. MAKIN EYE DRUG COMPANY "The Ready Place" Where Business is Known and Transacted.

New Hope Baptist. Did you gain a "new height" in Sunday School, Sunday when the story of "The Prodigal Son" was being taught? The Primary Motto Text-"God is Love" should make all feel grateful to God whose unfathomnable love caused Him to give His only begotton Son so that any who believe on Him shall be saved. We all were prodigals but thank God, many have returned and found a welcome fellowship with the Father. We are praying and working that God may bless our church and Sunday School and all the departments of our Christian service worship. We do not neglect to pray and work for others also. Read Isaiah fortieth chapter, perusing specially the thirty-first verse: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; und they shall walk and not faint." Dr Fishback fed the flock from the Word of God in the above named chapter. During the Social Hour, an interesting question-box program was conducted by Miss Neola Parks. The program developed the fact that our group of young people are conversant with current topics. The profitable Study Hour of the B. Y. P. U., made each one richer in Biblical knowledge. The Scripture Lesson for the Sunday evening worship was Phil. 4:214. Rev. Chittham preached an excellent sermon based upon the text and subject which follow: Phil. 4:13; "The Peace that Originates This Claim." Our sick-Mr. Moore is ill at his home 907 E. 3rd street. Mrs. Aria Tittington in (900 block N. Wabash) is very sick. Mrs. Tolbert, Sister of-Mrs. Agnes Williams, is sick at their home (1100 block N. Washington. Mrs. Anna McAfee is much better. Mrs. Ruby Tines is growing more normal in health. Mrs. McGee is better. Miscellaneous;—James Taylor attended the Older Boys' Conference in Winfield, Sunday. After enjoying a splendid visit with her daughter, Mrs. W. L. Hutcherson, and family, Mrs. Emma Waldron, of Danville, Ill., left the city Wednesday of last week enroute for home. Capt. and Mrs. W. L. Hutcherson allowed their eldest son Walter to accompany her. Mr. and Mrs. Henry-Young --- Beginning with live Sunday School under the direction of Mrs. J. W. Hayes and her corp of teachers, the church had o great day. The eleven o'clock sermon by Pastor J. W. Hayes was powerful in its appeal. There were two additions, one for baptism. Many rejoiced in the God of their salvation. At 2:30 p. m., the church was filled to an over-flow to witness the burying of 33 souls in the liquid graves, the only door to the visible church. The Spirit seemingly manifested His power on the occasion. Owing to Rev. J. R. Roman of Eldorado, being late, Rev. B. C. Rannavalona preached a great sermon. Immediately following this, we had had a wonderful meeting representing one day of the Thrift Week, viz: "Share with Others" or Christian Stewardship." Mayor W. C. Coleman certainly gave us a wonderful address on this much important subject. He made us think and examine ourselves and declare to be a more exact steward of the Master. The Unions are taking on new life and planning great things. Aside from the great sermon by our pastor, next great thing was to see over 100 fellowshipped into the church.

Perhaps no better evidence of a spiritual interest could have been manifested than was shown at the morning and evening services at St. Paul, beginning with the early morning prayer meeting and continuing throughout the day last Sunday. The result, being that wenty persons young and elderly, came forward to enlist in service for the Master. Two very able discourses were delivered, by the pastor Rev. Pope morning and evening and the congregation joined heartily with the choir in the hymns of praise, assisted by the new bulletin sheet which enables all to participate. The subject in the evening was from John 8:3-11 in which the pastor brought to our minds most vividly the scene of the woman brought before Christ by the Scribes and Pharisees and accused of adultery and was practically and forcibly applied to the hypocrisy of many who today stand ready to accuse others, when they themselves may be more gulity of immoralities than those whom they accuse. The hand of God is writing now as it wrote on the wall at Belshazzar's Feast. God's love and mercy is shown in what the earth yields to man for sustenance and yet he is heedless and ungrateful. As Christ warned the Scribes and Pharisees then, he is warning men today. Will you heed? The topic of "Evangelistic Missions" was very interestingly discussed at the Allen Endeavor at 7 o'clock and many valient point brought out. Next Sunday evening an election will take place and the League will be divided into two departments. It is hoped that both old and young will attend this meeting and begin the study of the interesting topics laid out for the year. You are invited. St. Paul has newly elected officers as follows:—Supt. F. C. Helm; Ass't. Lulu Covington; Supt. Elementary Div., Mrs. Eva Woods; Treas. Mrs. E. Curtis; Secretary, Francis Nelson, Ass't. Sec., T. I. Dixon; Pianist, Ethel Brown; Asst.' Eugene Perry; Chorister, G. W. White; Libarians, Burnell Carter, Frank Garner, Buster Brown. Tabernacle Baptist Corner 8th and Water, Rev. E. Leon Nails, Pastor. Services were good and very well attended at our church on last Lord's Day. Our Sunday School still holds its own. We had one accession in our morning worship; of which we are proud. Our hearts burned within while our pastor spoke to us from the subject, "A Powerful and Elegant Speeker" or "Never a Man Spoke Like Jesus." He spoke from the depth of his heart, and he too, had much power. Among our visitors Sunday, were a Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Thorton, Mrs. Griffin, all of Wichita. We regret very much the exodus of Sister Iola Martin from the city, who with her family is to be gone in a few days. Sister Martin is a Christian lady; loyal to the church in every way and will be missed in Tabernacle. We pray God's blessings upon her wherever she goes. Strangers are always welcome to Tabernacle. St. Mary Baptist Notes. [REV. J. E. DOUGLASS, PASTOR. Our services on last Sunday AMONG THE CHURCHES were very fair, the Lord was with us and we sang His praises to our satisfaction.

Neely Advertising and Circulating Manager AN OLD TEAMSTER never counts on the horse that prances, turns side-wise and fights across the tongue at his help-mate, neither does a pastor or a community depend on a man or woman, who turns side-wise and criticise every move made;—they think first his position is awkward and he can not be of much service. In fact, he or she is giving more tasks to others that he might pull less. It is always thought that the horse that never looks back to see the whip nor to complain about the load, pulls the more. There are two easy things in carrying the burden of life, for the shirker and jerker, viz:—Find faults and assign tasks, but there is only one thing left for a worker, "That is to work." It is not natural for Wichita men to get together and plan and develop plans; they are inclined to philosophize, criticise and shift responsibilities. Until the so-called leaders can be real leaders that you can count on, many a sheet of paper will be ruined with resolutions and much energy and worry will be put forth. We need a spirit that makes us responsible for ourselves, and the duties of others will not be so worrisome to us. The great question that confronts a 'real leader is, "Did I do my Best?" Let us all thoroughly settle this question in our minds, then and not until then will we have time to look around at the short-comings of our fellow-men. REV. B. C. RANNAVALONA ASSOCIATE editor of The Negro Star, takes this opportunity to thank Theo. Baughman, editor of The Oklahoma Eagle of Tulsa, and other exchange editors for their friendly comments.
