THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.52 A FEW EDIFYING MOMENTS. We count it a privilege to be present at the First Baptist Church last Tuesday evening with many Sunday School workers throughout the city and state to fix different plans for the success for State Convention that shall convene here May 1-4 at the Forum. It is urged and you owe it to yourselves and the next generation to be present throughout the session or as often as possible. After this was planned, we presented Mr. W. C. Pierce, one of the World's S. S. Associational Secretaries, who has the program from experience and close study that will mee t the needs of the world. His subject wus: "The World's Situation." He opened this address by saying, The world is sick and very ack. He pictured the economic situation of the world and said: it was not for the like of money nor bus ness sense, but is a moral break-down; and the only remedy is Jesus given to the world by the teaching church. We reviewed with him the political disturbances in Egypt, the religious freedom of the churches since the war, because to the seperation of the State and the Church, but he still declares there is no hope of peace unless we give the world Jesus and that must be done through our children. The condition since the World War has made it possile to approach the Bishop of Greece and Turkey has now State Capital in one place and the Church Capital in another. He urges that the only salvation is a teaching Church; let all prepare to teach and let all desire to teach and the world will receive Jesus. The Korean Christians' highest ambition is to be a teacher. Korea has the best S. S. in the world and the people are making the fastest progress. Then came the question: "What can we to make the Church a Teaching Church?" As general question and answered it by asking four more questions and en- awering them with beautiful illustrations:—1. Is the S. S., Popular Throughout the World? 2. Are there anybody over in Europe to teach the S. S. 3. Is there anybody over there who can supervise? 4. What can America do to help? To the last he gave us the following: (a) Keep our own S. S., fires burning hot. (b) The need of more technical experience. (c) Supplement their budget. Thus was delivered an eye opener for Sunday School workers. Card of Thanks. We wish to extend to the members of New Hope Baptist Church and many friends, our sincere thanks for their kindness and sympathy shown us during the illness and death of our beloved husband, father, brother, Hiram Parks;especially to the choir and church, Club No. 2 and others for the beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. Rosa Parks and family, -Mrs. Lucy Johnson, mother-in-law, By Luverna H. McPherson. Accept a word of sympathy, From these your sisters deer; For a part of your sorrow, and sad- ness, We want you to know we share. 'Tis sad we know, but do not grieve. Since, 'twta not God's will that he should live: But, be humble and submissive to His work. DR. J. H. GARNETT SERMON Delivered at the Funeral of DR. E. T. FISHBACK, Wichita, Kans. February 13, 1923 INTRODUCTION Brother Master of Ceremonies. Mr. Fishback and Family, Brethren and Sisters, Ladies and Gentlemen and Friends:— I never expected to be called upon to perform the task which I have been called upon today to perform. In my attempt to acquiesce to this request, I wish to do so with all tenderness. What I may say on this sad occasion will neither add to nor detract from the transcendent influence of the outstanding figure that lies before us on this bier today. prepare Ye the way of Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Elijah T. Fishback was always studious and made many sacrifices to prepare himself for a useful and serviceable life,—and he succeeded. A POSITIVE CHARACTER. Elijah Fishback, resembling Elijah the prophet of old, was a positive character, besides he was amiable, meek, highly intellectual and highly spiritual. NEGATIVE CHARACTERS There are a lot of negative chara- When I was informed by Principal Bridgeforth that the request had been made for me to discharge this sad mission, I began to cast around for words befitting the impassioned occasion. As I left the office and proceeded towards home with a sad heart and bowed head, the words found in Revelation 14th chapter and the 13th verse flashed into my mind. They read as follows: "I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hence forth: Ye, saith the Spirit, that they rest from their labours, and their works do follow them." Rev. 14:13. I have deduced from the text this— Theme: The Reward of the Faithful It may be truly said, that a great man in Israel has fallen. He was great because:—He was courageous. He was patient. He was courteous. He was segacious. He was patriotic. He was unselfish. He was faithful. He was true. I met Elijah Fiskbreek and his brother C. G. Fishback and their kinsman, and my friend Dr. W. A. Bowren 33 years ago at State University, Louisville, Ky., over which I presided, at the time, as President. We met as student a and teacher. I soon discovered that these were no ordinary boys. I often wondered how they came by their high degree of spiritaul life. The secret was not revealed until I went up into the mountains of Kentucky one summer where I went to hold some meetings. After talking with the father of the Fishbacks and hearing him preach and pray, I at once decided where the boys got their power. The rugged austerity of the old man reminded me of John in the wilderness, clothed-with camel's hair, crying For you have done your part; A loving, faithful wife and true; You were from your heart." God bless and care for the little ones, And dry all tears away; In that mansion He's gone to prepare, May you meet again some day. —Dedicated, To our sister Mrs. Rosa H. Parks; from her sisters— Miss L. H. McPherson and Mrs. C. E. Minnia. prepare Ye the way of Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Elijah T. Fishback was always studious and made many sacrifices to prepare himself for a useful and serviceable life—and he succeeded. A POSITIVE CHARACTER. Elijah Fishback, resembling Elijah the prophet of old, was a positive character, besides he was amiable, gentle, meek, highly intellectual and highly spiritual. There are a lot of negative characters in the world: drifters on the tide of current of opinions, people who have no positive convictions between right and wrong, but who would rather do wrong than to do right; Fishback did not belong to that class of of humanity. His convictions were based on truth, as he saw it. He had a deep insight into things divine. Sociology and psychology have demonstrated that at least two things are necessary in character: First, the predominance of altruistic impulses over egotistic impulses. In other words, reason must be made to prevail over blind impulses and emotion; and altruism, regard for others, must prevail over the selfish tendencies of human nature. The subject of this discourse was highly altruistic. Ellijah Fishback had an indomitable will a big mind and a big heart which was brimful of the milk of human kindness. He had great faith and was as sympathetic as a woman. His courage was like flint upon the anvil whose hardness shattered the hammers that vainly tried to 'break it. He answered the call of times for men of strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands. "Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who have horror; Men who will not lie, Tall men, Sun-Crowned, who live above the fog, In public duty, and private thinking." He demonstrated the principle that, The mind is the measure of the man —He had lofty aspirations and untiring energies. The foundation of New Hope Church, the contemplated temple shows it. Sixteen years in-your midat attest the fact. We all admire people who do things. The times demand men of actions. We admire the man who acts. Who possesses courage, promptness, faith, foresightedness, a huge will, a holy zeal, and the power to administer his forces on a given point, at a set time, for a specific purpose. It must be admitted that such traits are rare, worth considering and deserving of praise. They command the rewards of the world and the gifts of the gods. Whoever does things and delights in the doing, thereby unconsciously grows deeper chested, lithe-limbed, red-blooded, stout hearted, clear-eyed, strong nerved, calm-visaged, and clean souled. Wisdom guides the man who nobly acts. The subject of this discourse was a fine exemplification of the above declarations. His preaching was logic in fire. Back of all outward manifestations and actions, lie the true elements of character, and the real requisites of true greatness. These must be sought in the motives, the inspiration and the purposes of life. Among the world's truly great men must be found purity of motive, a lofty, manly inspiration, and a broad, generous, unselfish purpose. Otherwise, even in the world's estimation, the r fame is but sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. Much more, in the "great men of God" shall we find these elements of character combined with others still higher and greater. In God's heroes, to human greatness must be added divine greatness — greatness on the God-ward side of life. "They are great through God." "They are great for the sake of God." Their lives are divine and directed with reference to the will and purposes of God. They are consecrated lives. They are lives sanctified and animated by faith and obedience. And this faith in God and obedience to His will is their peculiar characteristic, and is what lifts them in their preeminence as great Men of God. Fishback was an eminent exponent of the fore-going virtues. My Theme is:— "The Reward Of The Faithful." It is right to reward faithfulness. The parable of talents teaches that there is no reward for having talents, but only for increasing them. Fishback strove diligently to increase his talents. The man with the two talents received the same reward as the man with five because the improvement was the same. No one is responsible for what God has given him, but is responsible for the use he makes of his gifts. Heaven, here and hereafter, is the result of faithfulness. Memory, Reason, Imagination, and Conscience, these immortal faculties of the soul, cleansed by the blood and mastered by the life of Christ, will carry heaven with them into the future. Everlasting faithfulness means everlasting reward. Our faithfulness depends upon the faithfulness of God Who said—"I change not, therefore Ye Sons of Jacob are not consumed, and underneath are the everlasting arms." God gives us life through Christ, but we must gain our Crown through faithfulness. Jesus said through John on Patmos—"Behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me to give to every man according as his work shall be." LAST TUESDAY, AT 6 o'clock, February 6, 1923, the messenger came for the one whose departure, we are here to-day to mourn. But notwithstanding the quickness of his unexpected coming, the faithful husband of a devoted wife and our dear beloved friend and brother in the Lord and one of the most outstanding figures in this community, Dr. E. T. Fishback, was found standing upon the watch tower when the Grim Messenger dashed up to his earthly Temple, and cried, All aboard! The word says: "Blessed are Ye when He comes, He will find you watching and waiting." When the summons came, though unexpected, Fishback donned his robe of righteousness, mounted the chariot and was wafted away on the wings of faith, leaving behind his dearly beloved wife, daughter, sisters and friends, and the many saints, whom he was instrumental in garnering into the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ, to continue the struggles of life, with all its battles. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life: He that believeth in me though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die." This promise is significant of our immortality. We are told that this body which is sown in corruption shall come forth a new and immortal body. This will be the case with all of us. This principle of new and immortal bodies may be illustrated by a simple example; for instance, when the farmer plants his potatoes in the spring-time he takes the grown potato and from it he cuts the eyes which have in them potentiality of life, and deposits these in the ground.

THURSDAY SESSIONS Women's Home and Foreign Board, fall when the gathering time comes, the farmer does not get the piece of potato which he planted in the ground but gets an entirely new potato. So it will be with our resurrection bodies. It will not be the old body that was planted, but a new body that will come forth. OUR DOUBLE IMMORTALITY. An earthly immortality possible. This thought ought to give great satisfaction to serious men. Any real man wants to touch the world in the most forceful and lasting way possible. A man can resolve here, that he will double or triple the power of his life. He can so live today that he may be a vital force in the tomorrow which he shall never see. He may project his life into the future in a thousand ways, and so make for himself an immortality among the Sons of Men. That thing Fishback did. How largely the world is ruled today by the dead is surprising. Some time it would seem that it is ruled more by the dead than by the living. Who, today, rules the religious life and thought of Man? Jesus and Paul, who died more than two thousand years ago. What living men are determining the thought of Men so largely as Plato and Darwin? Shakespeare and Milton are the ruling forces in literature. Augustine and Clement and Calvin still dominate the minds of men. Never will men cease to feel the divine impulse of that life lived in REMEMBER!

Never will they cease to drink at the great gountain of the past. Never will the heart cease to leap exultingly at the stories of Thermopylae, of Florencee Nightingale, of the woman who anointed the feet of our Lord and wiped them with the hair of her head. Now what is true of these great lives may be true of us all in a great measure. It may not be ours to think thoughts that will inspire the world; but it is ours, so to live and love and work and speak that we may lay up for ourselves a futurity of life and power and influence here, that shall abide, helping and blessing the world after we are gone. Such a life E. T. Fishback lived and though dead yet speaketh, and will ever speak. In conclusion, we recommend his devoted and loving wife and daughter to the care and protection of Him Who doeth all things well; before whose judgment bar we must all, sooner or later how, to give an account of our stewardship on earth. Now may He Who alone can bind up the broken hearted, comfort and encourage all our hearts, and help us to be resigned to HIS will, and join in the sentiment of Job who said, "The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord." And the Master in Gethsemane, who said to the Father, "If it be thy will, let this cup pass from me, but not, as I will, but as thou wilt." Mary Baptist Notes. Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor. Our services were very fair on last Sday. The congregation seemed to be been filled with the Spirit of d, our success is admired by all to know what we are trying to do. We are very sorry that our Supt., b. A. R. Washington left the city a while, but we are hoping he will on return to us. Mr. J. D. Wilson, (deacon,) was acted Supt., of the S. S., and we be- ve that under his administration, ings will keep going ahead in the S., with Mrs. Rosie Baker, ass- sist to aid. Our minister preached an instructive sermon for us at 11 o'clock yesterday (Sunday) and another strong one at night. Our Union Session was one of joy. ro. E. L. Newton was placed on the trustee Board of the church last night in the Executive Session. We thank our membership and the many friends who aided us in our financial effort yesterday; our collection was $130.00. We hope to do as well or better next Sunday the Lord being our helper. Our entertainment on last Friday night was a success, led by Bro. Nesitt. Mt. Zion Club of St. Mary's Church is stirring its members for their entertainment. The Willing Workers are still alive. The Converts Training Meetings are meeting with success. Come out to our prayer meetings; on Wednesday evenings. We are sorry to say our Vice President, Mrs. Lela Sins and her husband are expecting to leave for the East, soon. God bless them wherever they go; they are fine people. Calvary Baptist Church REV. J. W. HAYES, Pastor. It is a delight to say that our S. S. reached 116 in attendance last Sunday but the Supt., Mrs. Lottie Hayes, only counts that as a beginning of what must be done. Teachers must be delivering the goods as the children are talking through the week of what their teachers did. The morning message was a soulbuilder from Ex. 3:5; subject: "Standing on Higher Grounds." He picture reverence that man should have for the God's-house, God-people, God-minister and the Bible. There are so many ways, while he had us so close to God, we could see that we were short of the proper respect for God's Word and we were not measuring up to the standard of Holiness; but we resolved to pull off our shoes that nothing will be between our Saviour and ourselves and show respect for the Grounds on which we stand. Indeed it was a great sermon. The B. Y. P. U., was in fine shape from 6:00 to 7:30, searching the Scriptures from the subject: "Understanding the Bible." Some real edifying points were brought out that proved that really the only way to be best used for the Master is to know His Word. The President and her workers gave one of the most unique programs that it has been ours to witness for quite a while, at Calvary last Monday night: "The Nameless Play," when it started, but Mrs. E. M. Barnes gave the best name and carried away the prize that was given by The Boston Store, a beautiful lemonade set. The play now bears the name, "The Historical Calendar." The beautiful furniture was furnished by THE HOME FURNITURE CO., it did make things look so grand. The evening service (Sunday) was equally as effective as that of the morning and the congregation enjoyed a great sermon from Dr. C. A. Holt of Dallas, Texas, from Heb. 11: 6. We know our faith was strengthened when he was done. Chanute Notes. Rev. J. E. Jeltz entertained with an interesting program on Saturday evening at New Hope Church. They were surely some beautiful songs heard and enjoyed by all who were present. The Mission Sisters served a nice lunch after the program. Sunday was a nice warm day; New Hope was crowded throughout the services of the day. Rev. Branch preached a wonderful sermon at the morning service; subject: "Prayer;" Sunday, April 22, is rally day; a large crowd of near-by towns are expected to be represented on that day, and an old fashioned basket dinner is to be served free to all who visit New Hope on that day. Every one extend their sympathy to the family of Mrs. Dickson in the loss of her husband, Mr. J. Dickson, whose illness was only three days, caused by a stroke. There are plans for another trip around the world on Friday night. Mrs. J. Blantin returned home from PUBLIC SALES We have purchased 122.000 pairs of U. S.

S. Convention. There were representatives from Oakley and Pleasant View. The S. S., was in charge of Missanie Williams, the illustrious instructor of No. 8 school. The lesson was very helpful and many truths were brought out concerning this period of our Saviour's life and trials. Invocation by Deacon J. J. Clark. After the Welcome Address by Matt, Jones, Jr., and response by Mr. Harold O. Washington, the Pleasant View S. S., sang, "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth." The hour for preaching having arrived, District Missionary, Rev. M. S. Jones, chose for text, "The Resurrection;" Matt. 28:7. He preached a wonderful sermon; painted a vivid word-picture of the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Christ, giving substantial Biblical evidence of each of these; and exhorting all to greater faith in their Master. At noon, the contents of Well-filled baskets were spread on the grass. Needless to say, every one did full justice to the dinner. It being Easter Sunday, the afternoon was devoted largely to the children's program. The recitations, songs and readings were all good, which speaks well for the children and their instructors Miss Josephine Allen rendered an instrumental, and a vocal solo, "O Mary, Don't You Weep Don't You Mourn;" which was greatly appreciated and she was heartily enceded, having exhibited wonderful musical and vocal ability. Also of special interest was a vocal duet by Mr. N. W. Ward and Dr. W. E. Carey: "How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds In A Believer's Ear." Dr. Carey, a mellow tenor and Mr. Ward at his best with his wonderful bass voice. Mr. Ward was formerly a member of one of Chicago's largest effort was loudly applauded and they effort was loudly applauded and they sang as encore, "Rocked In The Cradle Of The Deep." Then followed distribution of the Easter Eggs, which as usual pleased the little folk. Collection raised $15.40. The Convention was well attended, a large number of visitors being present, (many of them, white.) Among the visitors were Mrs. Lewis Allen, of Stockton, and daughter, Miss Josephine, guests of Rev. and Mrs. M. S. Jones. The Session adjourned to convene July 1, 1923 at No. 50 School-house. Matt G.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH The services were good all day last Sunday. The pastor spoke to a fair congregation all day Sunday. Monday night was given to plans for a rally. The program was made up by the pastor and the fixed date was the 4th Sunday in May. Among the many speakers who visited the church in the past month, were Mr. Swarshanah of Hayitl; Mr. Sam Dixon of Texas, who is here visiting his sister Bell Davy and aunts, Mrs. Paul Jones and I. M.

The Union is still alive and at work. Mr. Bud Ferguson is erecting a modern house on his lot near town; the church wishes him success.

E. Corner of 11th and Mosley. Rev. H. H. Edmond Pastor. 3:00 p. m. at the Christian Church, we had the privilege of listening to a wonderful service under the auspices of the City Missionary Federation of Churches. The services were opened and well seasoned with sweet melody from the choir. Afterwhich the Mrs. Wells, City Field Missionary, gave a wonderful lecture on Mission and the Need of Home Training of the Youth's Mind; followed by Mrs. Wrights. So let us sow deep and wide into the hearts and minds of our boys and girls. The theme of Mission as Jesus Christ was the greatest Missionary, history has ever known; so shall we be. Announcements were made and at 6:30 p. m., we were called to meet in service at St. Matthew C. M. E. Church, Corner 11th and Mosley in E. P. W. L. Session. All Officers filled their stations, conducted by the President Bro. J. B. Brown, read for lesson 45th chapter of Genesis. A very interesting subject: beautiful thoughts were gathered from the lesson. At 7:45 p. m., the choir filled the stand and in fervency of song our hearts were lifted up in thanks to Almighty God. At 8:00 p. m., the Rev. H. H. Edmond ascended the pulpit, read Mark 14th chapter; text found in the 15th verse; subject: "Clothed in his right mind;" and the great hero preached a wonderful sermon and our minds were taken back to the very day when God spake and bade sin to leave out of you and me. In prayer, let us cling close to the cross and ask God to Lift us up and let us stand by faith on Heaven's Table-land and pray as we onward bound, Lord, plant my feet on Higher Ground.—Amen. St. Paul Notes. At the 11:00 a.m., services, Rev. C. A. Holt of Dallas, Texas, delivered the sermon, from Songs of Solomon 16:33; subject: "The Providence of God, Who guides unerringly, those who learn to obey His commands, and follow where He leads, will never fail."

BROOKS, Principal of The Wichita High School, in glowing words, in an address delivered to the minister of the city last Monday morning, paid a high tribute to the Negro student body of Wichita High School. At this meeting of the Wichita Ministerial Association in the presence of two-thirds of the ministers of the city Prof. Brooks stated that it afforded him pleasure to say that the colored students had fully measured up to the high ideals of scholarship in the high school, and that the entire colored student body had given such deportment and close application to study that he had found no reason to regret his association with them but rather was pleased to state that at all times they had fully met every requirement of the faculty of the high school both in deportment and school pride. "The colored student bodies," said Prof. Brooks, "have school organizations which are doing emarkable work along religious and moral lines, and deserve much credit."
