THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.50 CITY ELECTION VERY PLEASING. The voting strength of the city boiled down to the thinking strength, and the thought is wise to add to our City Commission, Frank L. Dunn, one of the most successful merchants of the city, Ben F. Copley, one of the most efficient business men of the city and Frank Nighswonger, a prominent lawyer, to the already strong force, will give us a great term; and we feel that our city will advance or keep up the progress. Dr. W. O. Mendenhall, F. A., Neff, C. P. Mueller, S. P. Wallingford, Cora C. Fulton and Rev. Hubert C. Herring will take care of the Educational interest. These will prove as an asset to the administration of our city. The Second Burning For Mr. Wheatley. It has been the misfortune of Mr. J. R. Whekley, the restaurant proprietor, to be burned out twice in one month. He moved from his old stand to the corner of 12th and Ohio and in a few days a fire about 2:00 o'clock in the morning took his possessions. He then moved back to the same old stand and in a few days he was burned out again about noon hour. Miss Dorothy Williams Ended Her Life. Thinking that fate was against her and could not one day further, that one Mr. Butler, whom she loved, but thought he loved another, decided to end it all; so drank carbolic acid last Wednesday afternoon.

Some of the outstanding facts set forth in the sermon were, first, That Jesus was truly dead, because his enemies pronounced him dead. Second, The Triumph of Jesus over death, hell and the grave. Third, That Jesus was deeply interested in His disciples after His resurrection. Fourth, The Glory after the resurrection will not rob us of our individuality; we shall know as we are known. Fifth, The suffering of this present time shall not be worthy to be compared with that glory that is to be ours after the resurrection. Jesus' victory was vividly illustrated in a concrete way by the pastor. The sermon was particularly inspiring and comforting to those who are striving to keep God's Commandments and gain eternal peace and happiness. The pastor entreated them to continue to watch and pray. He also emphasized the value of early morning prayers as the result of the wonderful sermon and the presence of the Holy Spirit; three were added to our church viz; Miss Tina Smith of Bogue, Kansas; Miss Hazel Green, Stockton, Krusas, and Mr. Smith.

REEVES On March 6, 1923, there entered into eternal rest, one of this earth's noblest characters, the Rev. Jeremiah Reeves, the honored pastor of the St. John Baptist Church of this city. Although he had been sick but a few days, he bore with patience, his suffering to the end. Previous to his coming to this city, May 1st 1922, he was pastor of the 2nd Baptist Church in Edorado, Kansas; where he was a successful pastor for five years; he also pastored the Grayson Chapel Baptist Church of Enid, Oklahoma; and Moderator of the Western District Association of Oklahoma for 14 years. He was married to Rhoda Posten, Feb. 14, 1918. He leaves to mourn the loss, a wife and four children: Miss Georgia Reeves of Chicago, Charley Reeves of Lansing, Mich., Portia Reeves of Ingham, and Marion Reeves of Mason City, Iowa; a sister Mrs. Sallie Franklin of Hartville, Mo., and neice, Mrs. Rosa Lee Thomas of Springfield, Mo. His life work needs no praise from us, it speaks for itself. His Divine call to the ministry was manifested in his power to persuade sinners to accept Christ. The same tribute that Paul paid to Barnabas, can justly be paid to Rev. Reeves, 'He was a good man.' We feel keenly the loss we have sustained and realize fully that God only can supply our greet needs in this hour when the world needs, as never before, men like our departed leader. RESOLUTION The Western District Missionary Baptist Association, enters most heartily into sympathy with the family, friends and members of the St. John Baptist Church of Mason City, Iowa, in the loss of Rev. Jeremiah Reeves, who served with honor and success in this State for 14 years as Moderator of the Western District Missionary Baptist Association. He was a faithful Christian, unselfish and untiring as a pastor, as an exponent of the Scriptures he was seldom equaled. I feel that his leaving this world, simply means that he has been moved to another which is far better. He has been emancipated from his long imprisonment. The chain of his confinement has been-cut loose, and he is now free from pain, sickness and death—W. L. Humphrey. TELEGRAM. Wichita, Kansas, March 10, 1923. Dear Sister Reeves: It is with a sense of sorrow, I am writing on behalf of the Southwest Distict Women's Convention of Kansas, to express my sympathy on condolence in the loss of Rev. J. Reeves. I know his loss will be keenly felt, but I commend you to the consolation on the help of our Heavenly Father Who doth all things well. Sincerely. Ida Frazier Bates, Pres. of Southwest District Women's Convention of Kansas. WORDS OF CONSOLATION FROM WORDS OF CONSOLATION FROM THE STATE OF KANSAS. Wichita, Kansas, March 11, 1923. As an appreciation for the great service rendered by Rev. J. Reeves, while in Kansas at Eldorado, and his pleasing and edifying manner of elevating those with whom he came in contact, made the Kansas brethren feel so very keenly, his death; and by order of the State Missionary and Ministers of the Southwestern District, Bro. H. T. Sims, was selected to represent them, and the following is but a faint expression of our interest in these sad hours:— 1. We regarded him as a man of honor, loving and lovable, progressive, willing to sacrifice and filled with a vision of His Master's Field. 2. As a minister—He was like the Saviour, 'Went about doing good.' In his life he fully realized and demonstrated the words of Paul in Rom. 10: 15: "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of Perse, and bring glad tidings of good things." Why Say Feet? (a) The possibility to reach others. (b) The possibility to make a path for others. (c) Assurance of the right way. (d) Consolation for the next traveler.

He made others know by his work that "For this cause was he born and to this end came I to into the world," and the Kansas Brethren feel grateful that a part of this great life was used among them, and it only takes years of journeys in the path he trod to know his worth. 4. We sympathize with the loved ones, but it is God's way, that we shall all pass through Gethsemane, (His Son passed through) to view from gony and sorrows' valley, the visions of God's blessing. He leads us for the following reasons:— 1. Through the shadow of death to be alone with the Comforter: 2. Let us see that the vision of God's glory overshadows our sufferings; 3. Let us know that we must wrestle with difficulties to enjoy God's blessings; 4. Let us know that patience is the real test of Love. Now let the useful and sweetness of his life take away all tears and look to the Comforter for marching orders and He will make it right, all right. And some day when He shall come to select His jewels, we shall all rejoice, enough to pay for this and all sorrows St. Mary Baptist Notes. Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor. Our last Sunday services were very good; being Easter, our S. S. was alive with interest. The officers and teachers were out. Seventy pupils present. The minister seemed filled with joy; subject. "The Walk to Emmaus," was enjoyed by all. At 11 o'clock, our pastor, after devotionals chose for a text, Luke 24:56, "Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen." A great service. The B. Y. P. U., session was a joyous one. Mrs. Sims, with her help, is leading the union on, with the pastor's co-operation.

Beginning with the Sunday School which opened promptly at 9:30 with the Supt. Mrs. J. W. Hayes, and her staff of teachers in their places. Much interest is being shown in the work of the Sunday Scool and each Sunday morning finds new faces present and eager to be working for the Cause. The Cradle Roll Department with Mrs. N. B. Copeland as superintendent has 55 babies recorded. A splendid work is being achieved in this department. All departments of the Sunday School are wide-a-wake. There is a friendly rivalry existing between the classes for the largest attendance. At 11 o'clock Sunday morning the choir members took their places to the strains of the "Awakening Chorus" played by the organist. The pastor preached a wonderful Doctrinal Sermon to a large and appreciative audience. The subject, "What We Believe And Why We Believe It;" was logically presented and so forceful and spiritual was it that we were made to feel that it was good to be there. Just before the sermon, Miss Nettle Fay Oliver rendered an Easter Solo, "Behold How Peaceful Dawns The Day." Quite a large number of visitors were present at both morning and evening services. The B. Y. P. U., opened promptly at 6 o'clock with the President, Mrs. Jewel Brown, and her teachers present. The lesson was ably discussed by our instructor, Bro. H. T. Sims. At seven o'clock the B. Y. P. U., gave way to the Sunday School who rendered an excellent Easter Program; the musical and literary numbers by the young people were well rendered and worthy of the hearty applause that was accorded each one. The Cradle Roll was also represented in a very pleasing manner. At eight o'clock the pastor again preached a wonderful sermon on "The Resurrection." Our hearts truly burned within us while he talked to us. The choir rendered special Easter selections. The Anthem, "Prepare Ye The Way;" was well given, and called forth much comment from the large and appreciative audience who filled the auditorium upstairs and down. On Monday night, the Sunday School gave a box social under the suporvision of the Supt. Mrs. Hayes. This was quite a success, financially. These social affairs that are being given by the Sunday School from time to time are growing in interest and tend to draw the young people out in large numbers, developing the social as well as the spiritual skil. Tuesday evening at 7:30 the Mission Circle and Bethany Circle met in their respective departments; after a short business meeting, Bethany Circle assembled with the Mission Circle and our pastor, Rev. Hayes, introduced to us Rev. H. H. Rogers the Dean of the Theological Department of Western College, who preached to us from the subject, "The Expansion of The Church." The magnificence and Grandeur of the Church, and the Contrast and Superiority of the Church over Every other institution," was presented to us in such a wonderful manner that it really made us see and appreciate the Church more than before. Strangers, make Calvary your Church home while in the city. Mrs. Ella Gibbs who has been ill or the past six weeks is slowly improving. On Tuesday night, April 10th, Judge Harrison of Chicago, will lecture in the auditorium of Calvary. Those who fail to hear him, will miss a rare treat. Tickets are 35c.
