STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, W. K. D. THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 15, No. 13, NATIONAL BAPTIST S.S. & B:Y.P,U. CONGRESS. NATIONAL BAPTIST S.S. & B:Y.P,U. CONGRESS. This was perlaps the busiest day in the Congress, yet there were some strong addresses delivered. Many of the delegates had left the city, but those who remained were well paid for remaining because of the intellectual and spiritual food which was dished out to them. It was a business occasion also. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, presided, and the Rev. Dr. Hutchin made the opening prayer. "Revival Period," was the theme discussed by Dr. C. L. Fisher of Birmingham, and when he had concluded the President of Southern University, Dr. J. S. Clark, was introduced and delivered a strong address, telling of the good work being done at Southern University, Baton Rouge, La., and how liberal the state had been in its contributions to the education of colored youth. Following this all the departments reported, showing interest in all respects. Perhaps no address delivered during the Congress attracted more attention than the same words coming from Dr. A. J. Stokes, the man of long experience, and who is one of the outstanding characters in the racial development and uplift. He urged the young Negro to prepare for all kinds of work, especially those entering the ministry, for the day of shams in the pulpit had passed and the people were demanding real men. Dr. A. M. Townsend and Dr. P. James Bryant also spoke. The Congress was loud in its praises of the work being done by Dr. A. M. Townsend in the erection of the home for the Sunday School Publishing Board. The contract for the building having been let and the work started in earnest and would be pushed to completion. The hearts of the young people were lifted into realms of joy at the announcement, and they resolved to work as never before to assist in this great plan. Dr. Townsend has demonstrated the fact that he is a wonderful leader and a business man. Many had declared that the Baptist would never be able to complete the building, but this is now being disputed by actual work and not by mere words. The Baptists of America will be called upon to assemble in Nashville to witness the opening of that wonderful plant. The report of the enrollment committee and the report of the finance committee were made. There was a high class literary and musical program rendered Saturday on which appeared some of the best talent in the country. This is becoming one of the outstanding features in the Congress. It gives an opportunity to see what wonderful talent the race has developed. SUNDAY. Sunday was a great day in Hot Springs, among the Baptists and one that will live long in the hearts of the people. The day opened with a Model Sunday School under the Sunday School Publishing Board, Dr. A. M. Townsend, Secretary. The management of the financial rally was under Dr. W. C. Howell of Hope, Ark., and manager of the supply house for the Sunday School Board in Texarkana, Ark.-Tex. Three Hundred Dollars was the amount raised. Jno. L. Webb, acted as superintendent. He is the regular superintendent. The prize banners were awarded: 1st, Arkansas, Jno. L. Webb; 2nd. Alabama, J. H. Creed; 3rd. to Louisiana, Prof. R. P. Player. The sermon Sunday morning was preached by the Rev. D. W. Jernagin of Washington, D. C., Vice President at large of the Congress and President of the National Race Congress. The "Christian Home" was the theme discussed by the eminent preacher. Three thousand people attended the Mass Meeting Sunday afternoon. The TUSKEGEE HOSPITAL CASE NOT YET DECIDED. BIRMINGHAM, ALA., July 20—The future policy of the Veteran's Bureau in regard to the operation of the Tuskegee. (Ala.) Veterans' Hospital with Negro personnel rests on a determination of whether the good faith of the federal government is involved through promises made by the White Committee of the Treasury Department. According to Director Hines, for the present, the Hospital will be conducted with the present staff of white doctors and Negro nurses, but the process of selecting Negro physicians, ready to put them in when a definite policy is decided will continue. Fifth Committee Made Big Promises. There seems no doubt, said Hines, that White Committee made promises when land was donated for the institution, that it would be under control of white personel; "I recognize that possibly the committee exceeded its powers in making such promises, and I therefore, will-move cautiously and seek to determine just what was meant. The Tuskegee Institute is manned entirely by Negro personnel, but has a Board of Trustees composed of 16 white men and four Negroes. It may be that a similar form of control of the hospital was contemplated. At any rate the Citizens' Committee at Tuskegee, seems to have promise in writing, which it was said if disregarded might involve the government's good faith." AN APPRECIATION To The City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, the Phillis Wheatley Children's Home, Mrs. R. L. Pope, Mrs. F. O. Miller, Miss Myrtle Hurat and others of the splendid citizens of Wichita, whose names I have not at this time:— Mr. and Mrs Isaac Hammons of Garden Canvon, Arizona, and Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Taylor, father of Mrs. Hammon, of Quocen, La., desire me to express their sincere appreciation and thanks for the friendly sympathy, care and comfort given Mrs. Hammon in the recent misfortune, difficulties and illness which befell her in the city of Wichita, Kansas, on June 9th. last, while journeying from her home at Garden Canyon, Arizona, to the home of her parents. The care of Mrs. Hammons and her two children by the above agencies, persons and other friends probably saved her from a complete mental and physical breakdown. I am requested by Mr. Taylor to advise the good people of Wichita, who manifested so much interest in his daughter, that she is improving steadily and shows every indication of a complete recovery. Jaz. A. Spears. principal address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. P. James Bryant, of Atlanta, Ga. The closing sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Luke Allen of Shreveport, La. Much credit was given Prof. E. W. D. Isaac, Dr. Wm. L. Craft, and Miss L. E. Campbell for the fine music rendered during the Congress. (THE END) Salina Kansas News. ST. JOHN CHURCH. Sunday morning Rev, S. A. Williams preached a wonderful sermon subject: "In the presence of God there is Wonderful Joy." It was full of spirit, showing the ever presence of God within us to guide, protect and help us in every need. After the sermon Rev. Williams sang a very beautiful solo, "Hold to God's Unchanging Hand." Miss Brooks and Mr. Brummell, delegates to the S. S. Convention, made their report Sunday night.

July 20,—228,938 have migrated out of this State during the past three years according to a report just issued by the Bankers of Georgia's association during the past week. The acuteness of the labor shortage and the inability of the bankers to realize on their farmers' loans were the immediate causes for the investigations by the association. "Discontinue lynchings and provide fair trials for Negroes in the courts." declare Atlanta Negro business men, "and migration will cease." There is a movement afoot to bring the Negro and white business interests to cooperate in an effort to remedy the evils of the present situation. The Sunday School, B. Y. P. U.

That kind words turn away anger, but snappish and cutting expressions give some folk heart trouble? Many men who pose as the best examples of Christianity have hurried their wives and mothers off to an untimely grave. That an individual who thru years of grouch and indifference and mistreatment causes his dependent wife or mother to be hastened to an untimely end, is a greater murderer than one who is provoked to use a revolver or club? That the greatest expression of interest in any kind of social activities is shown by the members of the Wichita Music Lovers' Club? This club, which has been recently organized, has already excited intense interest in others. It is the aim of President E. M. Barnes, who was unanimously chose to the presidency to lead this organization to a more vital and helpful attainment than that of most of the social activities of our country. It pays to be accurate; for much time and also money, is lost by guess work. REFUSE FLORIDA WHIPPING BOSS NEW TRIAL REFUSE FLORIDA WHIPPING BOSS NEW TRIAL LAKE CITY,. FLA., July 20. Judge M. A. McMullen last Monday denied the motion for a new trial for Thomas W. Higganbotham, former whipping boys, who late Saturday was found guilty of murder in the second degree in connection with the death of Martin Tabert. of North Dakota. Judge McMullen sentenced Higganbotham to 20 years, the punishment fixed by the jury. Elaine Defendants Win Final Freedom. LITTIE ROCK, ARK., July 20. With the expiration on July 12, of the 15-dav period during which a motion for rehearing of the cases of the six Elaine Negroes whose petition for dismissal of their cases was granted by the Arkansas Supreme Court two weeks ago, attorneys now express the ordinance that the Negroes now are free from any further legal difficulties. The freed men's petition set forth that their cases had been passed during two terms of court and the Supreme Court held they should be released, under a state statute which provided for release of defendants when the cases have been passed over two terms of court through no fault of their own. The six men were alleged to have participated in the Elaine Insurrection in 1919 in Phillips county. The men have not been in custody since the Supreme Court's ruling freeing them more than two weeks ago. son. They have won 52 games and lost 8 out of 60 games played. They have defeated the best amateur clubs in the country. That our boys and girls are beginning to realize the value of a trained hand as well as a trained head? That amid the prevailing consternation of the present time and in the face of the persistent adverse feeling of the whites toward wholehearted co-operation with us as brothers, our leaders are making a "mess" of themselves at co-operating with each other? Until Negroes learn to get together and have some mutually kindly feeling for, and confidence in each other, it is fool sh to think that the white man is going to lead out in that direction. From all visible evidence, we can see that our local medical society has has just about gone to the wall over "little, petty, minute, small," embryonic insignificancies. If this hospital project is a good thing for the race, is not that fact of greater importance than n particular position on the hospital staff? Why not get the thing on sound footing and then whoever proves himself most efficient, let him occupy the place for which he is best fitted? Are you M. Ds., thinking or just wondering? The man who thinks, gains ground; but the wonderer loses his points of vantage. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR. KLAN USES NEGRO HOSPITAL SHEETS, ALLEGED. NEW YORK CITY, July 20-According to reports reaching here from various sources it is charged that shects from the store room of the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., were used as uniforms in a Ku Klux Klan anti-Negro demonstration there on July 3. It is further charged that white persons connected with the Hospital entertained the members of the Klan paraders at supper in the hospital after the demonstration. These charges were made by the N. A. A. C. P., following an investigation by special agents from that association. According to the report submitted by the investigators the sheets afterward were found to bear "dust and automobile grease." and other evidences to show to what use they had been put. Shortage of Educated Negro Ministers Revealed (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20—The demand for at least 1,500 educated Negro minister yearly in the United States is being supplied by only about 100 Negro men having any sort of ecclesiastical training, with the result that the Negro churches of America face a serious shortage of educated or even trained ministers each year, according to statistics compiled at Howard University, under the supervision of the Department of the Interior. There are about 50 000 Negro churches in the United States of all denominations. Last year less than 100 Negro men were graduated from any kind of training school for ministers and of this number less than ten were college graduates. The average school training among the others was about one and a half years of grade school work. This shortage of preachers is illustrated by the fact that there is now one white minister to every 889 white people in the country. There are a large number of ministerial training schools in the country, but few of the young men, who complete a college course are inclined to take theological training. Among the Negro schools maintaining high grade theological departments are: Lincoln University; Wilferowe University, Howard University; Virginia Union University; Livingstone College; Gammon Theological Seminary and others. Just why the college trained young Negro does not enter the ministry is a problem. It is said that the most serious draw-back confronting the Negro in America to-day is the lack of training on the part of 75 per cent of its ministers. --- JOKE No phase of the Christian Religion encourage racial discrimination or southern born "Jim-Crowism." If the Spirit of Jesus Christ the Mighty Democrat does not pervade the atmosphere of the approaching Gipay Smith Evangelical Meetings enough to prevent any show of "Jim-Crowism" towards the clear, honest colored Christ minded citizens of Wichita, it is not of God. There is no middle ground for the Christian Church to assume in dealing with racial problems; it must be the Christ-born of God method of procedure or stand a mere joke. The Wichita Ministerial League meets Monday at 10:30 at Water St. Y. M. C. A. Religious Educational Matters will be considered. Five Cents Per Copy BRISBANE COMMENTS ON NEGRO MIGRATION (Preston News Service) NEW YORK CITY, July 20.—In his daily editorial comment under the caption of "TODAY" Arthur. Brisbane has the following to say regarding the coming of the Negroes to the North: Constant migration of Negroes from the South to the North is a menace to southern agriculture. It may also prove to be an important factor in the 1924 campaign, and others. In the North those colored men will vote, and 90 per cent at least, will vote the Republican ticket. Twenty-five thousand colored voters, or fewer, located in the right spot, might decide a close national election." New Hope Baptist Last Sunday, there was a busy group in our Sunday School teaching and learning the Word of God. The subject of the lesson was "Simon Peter." At eleven a.m., Rev. Leon Nails, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, preached a n instructive, practical sermon. The Scripture Lesson, text and subject follow:—Jer. 5: 1-10; Jer. 5:1; "God Wants a Man." Those failing to attend the Social Hour, missed a treat. Favorite portions of the Scriptures were quoted by the children, (some of them being quite young.) The children were as happy to say them as the older persons were to hear them said. The B. Y. P. U. Study Hour was discussed. The President read some of the fundamental principles of the Baptist Doctrine. The Scripture Lesson at 8:00 p. m., Rev. 2:1-26, was read by Rev. Jackson, afterwhich he conducted a Covenant Meeting. Our Sick—Mrs. Salona McGee is ill; She is improving. Mrs. Ruby Tines is a little better. Mrs. Evalae Carter is not improving as rudely as her friends desire. Mrs. Elvira Winesberry has been very sick but has recovered. Miss Lela Walker has been on the sick list. Miacellaneous—Geraldine Shannon and her brother Gail recently returned from Joplin, Mo., where they visited friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Blve of Casper, Wyoming, visited friends in Wichita, a few daves and went to Chillicothe, Mo. Their two daughters are with them. Mrs. I. F. Bates, President of the Western States Convention (Women's) left for Minnesota, Saturday night. The .....will contribute to the delegates of that convention their noted hospitality. Mrs. Emma Gaines President of the Kansda Women's Convention is another of the Kansas women who will attend. A good delegation of Kansas women will be present. We are praying for the success of this great convention. The funeral of deacon Joseph Patterson was held at New Hope July 5. Dr. J. W. Hayes officiating. He use I as a text John 12:1. An excellent sermon was preached. Deacon Patterson was a faithful Christian. He was ever ready to do his duty, defend the faith, and praise his God. The widow has our deen sympathy. Realizing that although we deplore the loss of our ever faithful, departed, beloved pastor—the late Dr. Elliah Thomas Fishback—it is necessary that we have a leader, our church has extended a call to Dr. L. R. Mitchell of Lima, Ohio, and he has accepted the call. Dr. Mitchell, upon invitation, visited our church and conducted a successful meeting. His recommendation from worthy ones who are intimately acquainted with him, and his own Christian walk while in our midst caused us to feel that he is the one whom God has chosen to lead us on in paths of righteousness. We have asked God for a leader and feel that our prayer is answered. May each member do his or her best and not expect the pastor to do all is one great request. "We are workers together with God." What a great privilege. WILL THE NEGRO SHOW A magnaniminity of spirit if they carried out the suggestion by Wallace A. Battle of Okolona, in a speech in Boston, a few days ago—to "yield to the white people of Alabama in the controversy over the Negro Veterans' Hospital in Tuskegee?" It might be a great spirit on the Negroes' part, but we can't understand the spirit that caused the white man to want to take care of the sick of our race. If his heart is right, he would not be so radical in his action. We wonder if the living wages was taken out of consideration, would the controversy be so strong? We would like to agree with Mr. Battle in order that penns might prevail, if we could see that a principle was in the white man's actions, but we only see him acting for the Dollars, and not for the race. With many institutions of similar nature the Alabama whites have many opportunities to show the magnaniminity of spirit, but never in the history of the state, have they displayed such a desire to mix with Negroes; so we don't think at this moment the Negro should give up the struggle because of the pay and the prestige. We are afraid of this sudden interest of our white southern brother. LOCALS Mrs. Gussie Smith of Kansas City, was called to this city on the account of the illness of her mother, Mrs. Ellen Harvey.
