THE NFGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE NATIONAL BAPTIST S.S. AND B.Y.P.U. CONGRESS. BY CHAS. STEWART. HCT SPRINGS, ARK. The 18th annual acc on of the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, which was declared by many to be the greatest in the history of the movement which means so much for the young people of America has first closed, and while the place for the next annual session was not announced, yet the Congress went on record as favoring Cleveland, Ohio, and it will be decided at the meeting of the National Baptist convention in Los Angeles, Cal formla in September. Delegates were here from all parts of the country, and the addresses and locations were all of a high intellectual and spiritual order. It could be considered a school of methods of Christian work among the young people of America and every address, every greco carried with it information. The opening was held in the city auditorium Tuesday night, and that spacious building was not sufficient to accommodate that large number of people. The feature of the opening was so by a chorus of one hunked voices under the direction of Prof. E. W. D. Isaac, Jr., the musical director. Following the opening prayer, Dr. D. W. Cannon, of Atlanta, Ga., made a few remarks congratulating the large number of young people who had left their homes to come to Hot Springs, to join in the great school of methods. He said that all should be thankful to God for His kindness. Concluding his remarks he introduced the Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Hill, pastor of Poinoke Baptist Church, who presided during the delivery of the addresses of welcome. Dr. Hill declared that it was to him a source of pleasure to have the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress meet in Hot Springs at this time—a time when so much was under consideration, a time when the best thought and best men and women were needed. He considered that Hot Springs, was honored by having so many intelligent, thoughtful young people in the city. There were only two addresses of welcome, and he presented Hon. Jno. L. Webb, Supreme Custodian of the Woodmen of Union, one of the strongest and healthiest fraternal organizations in the country; a deacon of the Rovnoe Baptist Church; Susserintendent of the Sunday School, Treasurer of the National Negro Business League, Chairman of the deacon board—in fact, a man connected with everything that meant good for the whole race. He would represent the colored business, professional men, the church, the Sunday School and the B. Y. P. U. Mr. Webb was given an ovation, and his address was strictly to the point and meant so much to the whole race. He smoke of Hot Springs, the National Health Resort, the place of which Force Do Leon was in search when he drifted to Florida, and if that man had just got to Hot Springs, he would have been living today. The address was eloquent and pointed. Following song, Hon. Walter Ebel a member of the Arkansas House of Representative, was introduced and represented the Governor of Arkansas, the Mayor of Hot Springs, and other white citizens in an address of welcome. He said that recently the Legislature in session had changed Arkansas from the Bear State to the Wonder State, and he said that there were many things in the state that was wonderful over other states and named only a few of them. He spoke of the wonder in resources. The Rev Dr. Solomon D. Ross of Savannah. Ga. responded to the addresses of welcome. He said many good things making an appeal for equal justice, for all, equal opportunity for education for the white boy and black boy. This was followed by a selection by the chorus, and prayer by the Rev. Dr. A. D. Williams, of HOLD BIG FUNERAL FOR AGED SEXTON. MOULTRIE, CA., June 29.—From the First Presbyterian church, of which he was rexton for many years, the funeral of Moses Harrington was held Monday afternoon. The service was in charge of the pastor of the church, and its members and large numbers attendel. It is said that for more than thirty years Harrington had been a famil ar figure in this city, and he commanded the dignified respect of all the white people of the town as well as that of the members of his own race. HERO IN BLACK (By The Associated Negro Press) LEWISTON, PA., June 29—The hero's action of James Allen, a young colored man of 23, when plunging into the Juryita I lived under the life of little six year old James Burgardner white, here last week. The rescue has aroused among citizens generally the hope that he may be awarded a Carnegie medal. The white lady who had been playing in a boat on the river bank loosened it from its mooring and as the punt reached the center of the stream where the swift current caught it, he fell overboard. Allen, a former Tech High School student, saw him from where he was a block away and running at toy speed he plunged in with all his clothing on, catching the boy just as he was going down the third time. Eye witnesses commended Allen's splendid courage and expressed the opinion that only by his splendid, daring and prompt action, could the boy's life have been saved. Atlanta, Ca., "Glory of Service," was the theme of the opening sermon, which followed, preached by Rev. J. II. Crable of Cleveland, Ohio. It was indeed a strong sermon, and presented a deep thought along the line of the theme. He won many friends and admirers and made an impression in favor of Cleveland for the next annual session. Hon. Charles M. Roberson of Shreveport, La., attorney for the National Baptist Convention was requested by President Cannon to take charge of the Department of Superintendents, Prof. S. H. Fowler of Ft. Worth, Texas, being unable to be present. Rev. Wm. Cole was requested to take charge of the B. Y. P. U. Department, the leader being absent.

He was under the instruction of his physician, and presented Dr. W. H. Jernagin, Vice-president at large, and President of the National Race Congress. The first address was delivered by the Rev. T. Hutchins of Corinth, Miss., who discussed. "Getting ready to teach." Then followed an address by Dr. S. N. Baum of Nashville, Tenn., who took up the "Teacher Training Classes." This was perhaps, one of the most important subjects handled. Mrs. V. T. Hill of Orlando, Fla., discussed the "Distinctive Place of the Junior Union."

That most of the "little fellers" that had just two or three dollars in the American State Bank when it failed to open are raisin' more sand than those who have thousands in the defunct bank? That while expressing himself about the recent bank failure, one said that the cashier measured up to his name when he succeeded in his attempt to 'fill a Drum or some other receptacle large enough to hold 1/4 million' of dollars?

This attempt was made last Sunday June 24. when several of the best and most studious musicians of our group in this city met at the home of Mrs. M. Letcher and formed an organization which shall be generally known as a music study club. This club expects to encourage and aid in the development of those who are willing to subject themselves to real study. In other words, this club shall promote and encourage nothing but business methods of music study. This club shall also be restricted in numbers, therefore it will be necessary for members to make applications and visit for turns to be admitted. The club carefully collects investigation and application from any one who means business.—Miss Dorothy Slims See on address by the Rev. Dr. Chas. L.

C., June 29- Following the wishes of President Hingus that Negroes ran the government hospital at Tuskegee, Ala, Director Hines issued an statement last Thursday afternoon that a complete Negro personnel will man the veterans' Bureau Hospital at Tuskegee. The question of whether Negro physicians should have charge of the institution, which is to receive Negro patients only, has been a subject of considerable controversy. Hinus Staps At Negro Politicians. "I am giling you th's information" Mr. Ilines said in a letter to President Hndng, "because I have a feeling that a certain element, prompted by a desire to certain positions for certain in lividunls that are not entirely qualified, are attempting to becloud the issue by the publication of statements that it is not the intention of the bureau to man the hospital by a complete Negro personnel, and I desire to recarve you that your wishes in this regard will be carried out explicitly." Wants Qualified Men and Nurses. Mr. Hines told President Harding that it had been necessary for the bureau to move slowly in gathering the staff for this institute because he believed that President Harding desired that the Bureau, under no circumstances, put colored personnel on duty there who did not have the professional attainments to thoroughly handle the work. He said that he felt and believed that the best thinking Negroes of the United States also felt that the disabled Negro veterans should receive treatment equal to that of any of their comrades. Mr. Hines added that most of the staff had been selected and hoped to complete the work within a short time. Famous Elaine Riot Case Again In Court. Praeten News Service) LITTLE ROCK, ARK., June 29-- The Elaine case is a petition of the six ElaineNegroes whose murder cases are row pending in Lee Circuit Court, to have the cases dismissed. The petition is based on a statute which provides that unless a date for trial is set by the court within two terms from the indictment, the defendants are entitled to dismissal. The attorneys for the men alleged that their cases have been pending for two terms, and that although they had filed notions in each term to have the case set for trial, the court had not set the day and that they were consequently, entitled to dismissal under the statute. It is the state's contention that the trial date had been set, but Because the Flipips Circuit Court, in the same judicial circuit, then was in session and extended over the date set for the trial in Lee county, the day was passed without fault of the court, according to the state's brief. ASKING FOR SQUARE DEAL. (IIv The Associated News Press) GALVESTON, TEXAS. June 29 On last week a committee of representative colored men called on the city commissioners of the city of Galveston, and protested against discriminating signs that had been placed on the benches facing the Gulf of Mexico. The committee was led on by Dr. R. II. Stanton, popular dentist of the city and other members of the committee were Dr. J. R. M. Lee, Mr. Alexander Green, Dr. R. T. Stanton, and Professor H. T. Davis and Dr. Russell Conwell Barbour, pastor of one of the local Baptist Churches here. After a vigorous protest the commissioners voted unanimously to order the county commissioners to remove the signs. GEORGIANS INVESTIGATE CONDI TIONS IN NORTH- ERN CITIES. GEORGIANS INVESTIGATE CONDI TIONS IN NORTH- ERN CITIES. (Preston News Service) ATLANTA, GA., June 29—In an effort to solve industrial problems and get a better understanding of why Negroes continue to leave the South the Georgia Manufacturers' association sent a commission to all important industrial centers throughout the North to make a survey of the conditions among southern Negroes who have gone North. That southern Negroes who have migrated to such cities as Cincinnati, Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland, are facing a rising title of race prejudice and above all things are being gouged to the unitary avaricious landlords in Negro districts is charged in a statement used by the commission following investigation. "In Cincinnati many of the Negroes are being charged as high as $10 a week for one room, and three and four families are living in one house, built for one because of the extreme congestion in the Negro quarters." This statement was given the investigators by Benjamin W. Overton, executive secretary of the Colored Y. M.C.A., in Cincinnati, and is said to be an authority on Negro conditions in that city. In Cleveland and other northern cities with a large foreign population, the southern Negroes are clashing with foreigners who resent both the intrusion of the Negro into his quarters as the result of migration, and the Negro's competition with them in the field of labor. This statement was given by Dr. John L. McLeese, Director of the American House in Cincinnati, and said to be an authority on conditions among the foreign born in the North. In Cincinnati the Negro quarters are largely located on the Ohio river front in what is known as "The Bottoms," and which is partially or entirely flooded each year. During this flood the Negros have to seek safety in other parts of the city, and many have been drowned in these annual floods. Resource of the fearful connection in these quarters the southern Negro has fallen prey to conspionion and other diseases caused by cold and over-crowding. What was found in Cincinnati to praically the same in all other northern industrial centers. After reading the report issued by the Georgia Commission, W. P. Bayless comments as follows: "Granting that southern Negroes suffer all the inconveniences pointed out by the southern commission representing manufacturing interests in the South, the puzzling thing to me is why southern Negroes continue to come North in such increasing numbers and put up with such unbearable conditions as described. I know of Negroes who have gone back South and brought up their friends with them. And I have been told by scores of them that while they found conditions extremely hard to bear in the North, they found it much easier than what they had to suffer in the South. I am confident that southern whites know why the Negroes are leaving and they also know what to do to them the Negroes South, but they cannot bring themselves to the point where they can treat Negroes justly and fairly. When they actually have a change of heart in their attitude toward the Negro, I believe those who are there will remain and many will return." CELEBRTAE EMANCIPATION (Preston News Service) LITTLE IOCK, ARK., June 20,— Negroes in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma celebrated last Tuesday as WICHITA HAS HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION.

Plenty of time has been figured for fishing, hiking, and sight-secing; so tere will be absolutely nothing for the tourist to worry about, The company will willingly extend the time of the trip to suit the convenience of passengers, mejority ruling, and of colirse with reasonable additional renumeration. Cars will be starting simultancously from Kansas C.ty, Wichita, and Ok- tahoma City, and persons who are in. terested are advised to begin organ- izing parties now. $ This is a most progressive move- ment on the part of the men of our race, and we are certainly glad to congratulate te heads of this enter- prise and here’s wishing the new company much success, * For Information write or call— 615 North Main Street, Wichita, CALL—Marhet 3462. ately alter sunday Morming nervices instead of at 3:00 p, m. a3 heretofore, Services at the C.

GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY and give God praise that life is sweet to you with the many blessings that have been yours since you bowed at yourr mother's knee and tenderly whispered, 'NOW, I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP." The world needs your life energy and force of character to be thrown into the balance against the powers of Hell. The church is the agency thru which God would direct your talents, and efficient training for WORLD SERVICE. Go to some one of the many churches of your community and allow God's messenger to advance a proposition to you which is gold bearing and has a gilt edge. To go may mean your winning day when you will get started right to stay away Sunday may mean that you forfeit your last opportunity. Think about it and GO. Mrs. S. C.

Always visit our church. New Hope Baptist. Quarterly Review was conducted in Sunday School last Sunday. The teachers were gratified that their efforts were not in vain while trying to teach some truths about "Great Men and women of the Old Testament." Rev. J. C. Rogers, Moderator of the Southwestern District of Kansas, preached an uplifting, encouraging sermon at eleven a.m. The Scripture Lesson, text and subject follow:—Psalm 86:1-16; John 7:37. "Jesus' Call to the Thirty. Speaking for Christ" was the topic studied and discussed in B. Y. P. U. We are being led on from one victory to another. Our young people have caught the vision of service and are striving to live and do for Jesus. At the Sunday evening worship, Rev. J. C. Rogers brought us another strong, inspiring message. 1 Cor. 13th chapter was the Scripture Lesson read. He used as a text Gal. 6: 14; subject "Glorying in Christ Jesus." Our sick:—Deacon Joseph Patterson is quite ill. He is in St. Francis Hospital. Mrs Evalee Carter has been critically ill in St. Francis Hospital. She is somewhat better. Mrs. Ruby Tines is improving.

Last Friday the children were given a very pleasant outing by the teachers and several of the parents, friends and guardians. The following should have been mentioned as having been ill but improving now; Mrs Elvira Winesberry, Mrs. Della Winesberry and Deacon M. Mayo. Deacon Fountaine Winesberry was unfortunate in sticking a nail into his foot. For several days he was unable to wear a shoe on that foot. Mrs. Gurden of Topeka, (formerly Miss Beatrice Williams) is in the city on account of the illness of her sister, Mrs. Evaleo Carter. Josephus Cash, the son of Mr. R. Cash, has returned from Langston, where he has been attending school. Arthur McAfee and James Taylor were the two boys from our church who went with Cantain Hutcherson and several High School boys to Camp Wood. You should have been present when the boys who attended Camp Wood held a meeting at our church and told of their experiences while there. It seems that each one was benefitted so much that it augmented his desire to go higher and higher and do more for God and man. Cantain deserves much worthy commendation for his worthy uplift work not only among the boys, but the community. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR. ST. PAUL A. M. E. NOTES The pastor and officers of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, entertained with a reception on Tuesday evening at the church honoring the graduates of the 8th and 9th grades. Also the St. Paul Choir members. Rev. R. L. Pops made the opening address, stating that this occasion was planned as a method to express the high appreciation of the boys and girls who are graduating, and to encourage them to continue their efforts in reaching the highest attainments in life. After a song led by the choir, Rev. Pope introduced Mr. Geo. Ewing, one of the recent graduates who read a paper on "Cocentration;" that brot out many thoughts as to the power of concentration in bringing about results. Miss Marie Brown made a talk on, "A College Education," and gave helpful information as to some of the requirements to those preparing to enter college. Miss Julia Hex favored us with a musical selection. A splendid talk was made by Prof. West who showed the advantages of the higher education; that a collegiate course offered. Rev. Pope also spoke of the efficiency, and faithful services of the choir. A bountiful and delicious menu was served. The participants desire to thank the promoters of this delightful affair and the expressions of appreciation shown them. Special services were held at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Sunday evening. The Children's Day program that was postponed was given and a lecture by Mr. Casper Haynes who has recently returned from a trip to Japan, introducing native costumes and other modes. The program was highly pleasing and reflected much credit to Mrs. P. L. Pore, instructor and Mrs. Eva Woods, Supt., of Primary Dept. Most children can learn music—Some learn more readily, and quickly than others, but all can learn if they will put forth enough effort. Roy Cotton of Metropolitan School of music says: "When parents start a child in school they do not take him to the teacher and say, 'I believe I will have you give my boy two or three lessons in Arithmetic and if he can learn I will let him take up the study permanently.' No, here is what is done: The child is placed in school and he learns as much as he can each day, and so on until he finishes." It should be the same with the study of music and even though the child does not become a performer on some particular instrument, he is given a training which will be of value to him all thru life. The Kincella Studio of Music develops these things in your child: (a) A habit of quick thinking; (b) Accurateness; (c) Ability to see these things in music at a glance; kev tempo, rythm, tone power, repeat signs, etc; (d) Cheerfulness. A child who studies music for any length of time, develops a quality and character, helpful thru life.
