Van Leu Has Given His Life For the Establishing of The Kingdom. His Deeds Will Shine Brighter Until The Perfect Day. Well born in Union S. C., in Oct. 31, 1866 was J. H. Van Leu from the loin of a noble parentage, who moved to Mississippi in his early life, where he was reared and educated at Holly Springs, Miss. For his high ambition for freedom, he left his business in Mississippi and spent several years in California. He was ordained in 1882 and was called from California to pastor the Tabernacle Baptist Church, where he served for four years with much success. It's membership still remains with this church. The brethren saw his worth and he was chosen as Missionary for Kansas and served 26 years, making it possible for the ministers to enjoy splendid fields today. He planted, ministers are now watering and God is giving the increase; and thank God the rewards will be divided: so the harvest will grow on and on until ment can't count the rewards when the crowning day shall come. Rev. Van Leu has been married for 26 years on July 29, to one of the finest women that Kansas has ever produced; small in statue but big in mind, in spirit and in purpose. To this noble union, they were blessed with 13 children, 11 now live with marks of talent in every one. As a mother, she is mistress of her home and love reigns supreme even in her most stern commands, the tone of love rings. He regarded her advice as sound and she honored him as king, so happiness reigned supreme in their home. The most utmost thought in his mind until his death was his last big and needed effort to make permanent the Central Baptist Theological Seminary; not a moment of opportunity passed him to let the brethren know the worth, needs and plans of this great institution. He would forget himself when the time came to put this cause before brethren of the State. So often he would say:—"Brethren, I want to put the matter before you that is on my heart" and would ask the brethren if they had a heart. Then he would review the pioneer days with them and tell of the hardships, but rejoice to know he had been used of God to make it possible for them this day. As we have speeded over Kansas he would point to stations where he would sit up at the station all night, sleep on trucks, and so well do remember once at Cherryvale, where he said he was so tired until he thought a chicken coop would be more comfortable than the sets in the depot so he laid down on the coop and was filled with mites. Sometimes for three days without a warm or decent meal, but he would always rejoice to know that he had suffered to put over God's program. He died with his head and heart fixed on meeting the Northern Baptist Brethren in New York, in October, and laying the plans and worth of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary on their hearts, that they might make possible for a great school for the training of the religious leaders of this great Baptist Host in America, but he, like Moses was able to view the promise land, but another must go over and possess it. He shall not lose his reward, because his life's blood is in the movement. In spite of the fact that he gave his life to God, God added to him a large, happy family and property which will be the means of making independent to educate and support his children. He is now having built, a brick two-story business house on ALABAMA JUDGE SAYS COURTS MUST BE UPHELD. ALABAMA JUDGE SAYS COURTS MUST BE UPHELD. (Preston News Service) DECATUR, ALA., Sept. 14.—Persons who take upon themselves the task of inflicting punishment on others may be actuated by highest motives but it is easy for them to debase themselves, recording to Judge James E. Horton, in a charge to the Morgan County grand jury on the activities of bands of men. Judge Horton pointed out that activities of these bands were few if at all in this section but warned the citizenship that the jurisdiction of the court in a meting out punishment should not be interfered with. The judge said in part: "There has recently been an unusual number of attacks upon private citizens by masked bands and numerous persons upon one pretext or another have been taken out and whipped and severely beaten....But is a spirit of lawlessness is more or less cpidem'c it is well we should be careful to immediately suppress any acts of this kind. "There can be but one place for the meting out of pun shment and that is through the courts. The courts are instrumentalities instituted by the people for the punishment of offenders against the law. No matter what the crime, how guilty the party and how united the public opinion, there are no excuses for private persons taking the execution of pun shment into their own hands. Suppose in one instance the perpetrators are actuated by the highest motives and are seeking what they believe best for their communities. But our better natures are easily debased. Soo-pivate malice and individual hate will become the actuating motive." RESOLUTION "I'd rttter walk with Jesus alone, And have for a pillow like Jacob a stone; Living with each moment with His face in view, Thtn shrink from my path-way and fail to go through."—Yates. This was the Life of Rev. J. H. Van Leu, State Missionary of Kansas. He was a very earnest Christian worker and always held up for the right at any odds. Whereas, the Death Angel went to Los Angeles, California, and took from the National Baptist Convention of the United States of America, Rev. J. H. Van Leu, State Missionary for Kansas: Be it Resolved, That the Second Baptist Church of Junction City, and the Smoky Hill River Missionary Baptist District Association of Kansas, bow in submission to the mandates of Him Who doth all things well. Be it further Resolved, That is copy of this resolution be sent to the Negro Star and to Mrs. Van Leur and family. Respectfully submitted, Committee: Lewis N. Grimes, Mrs. Susie Smith, Miss Lois V. Grimes. Rev. G. T. Ridney, Pastor, Junction City, Kansas. Main Street just one-half block from the court house. This great prophet and leader fell in Los Angeles, California, while there attending the National Baptist Convention, his body arrived in Wichita, Thursday, returning with the messengers, whom he left with, and the funeral or memorial services will be Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 18, 2 p.m. at the Calvary Baptist Church. The services will be short. The ministers of the city will act as pall bearers, viz: Revs. J. E. Douglass, J. W. Hayes, B. C. Rennavalons, W. B. Gary, W. A. Washington and T. Hutchinh. We can only say here:—"He has wrought far better than he knew" and it will only take time to reveal to the world that a great d'iy has fallen. WICIIITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 14, 1923.

"Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's law." Gal. 6:2. The Jews, when Jesus was on earth, were very strict observers of the law of Moses. In fact, they gave so much attention to the observance of the letter of the law that they often lost sight of its significance. Jesus came and made it unnecessary for them to bother about memorizing so much of the law. To love God supremely and one's neighbor as one's self, according to Jesus' teaching, is to keep every requirement of the "law and the prophets." Christ, therefore, has only one law and that law is love. His law consisting of only one word constitutes a rule of conduct that would make useless all law, all courts and all places of punishment. The weak would have no occasion for complaint against the strong; the ignorant against the wise nor the poor against the rich; the honest against the dishonest; nor the black man against the white man. The Apostle Paul in the text, shows how the love of Christ, a panacea for all ills, may be obtained. "Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's law." Obeying the command to "always carry one another's burdens" is the only way to build love, Christ's law, into our lives. We value things in proportion as they cost us. The same rule applies with reference to "one another." If mothers love children more than fathers do, it is because they love more pain, patience, anxiety and toil. A man never ceases to love the family to which he is giving whole-hearted support. It is only when he does not carry that burden that his affections lodge somewhere else and desertion becomes possible. Woman's independence of man's support has more to do with the prevalence of divorce in this day than anything else. Opportunities for "carrying one another's burden" are so abundant that no one needs to look for them. Every day, everywhere we can find: 1. The burdened individual. The problem of adjusting one's self to his environment is fraught with many brotherFood Monday night. On Tuesday at 8o'clock he will address the B. Y. P. U., organiztions of all the churches. On Wednesday at 8 p. m., he will preach at the prayer meeting hour. The public is cordially invited. burdens. Sometimes they result in tragedy and sometimes in heroic living. Many a suicide would have been averted if someone by kind word or deed had lifted the burden which bore so heavily upon the victim. Young women, burdened with sins committed while conscience slept; young men burdened with the embarrassment of financial loss or social disgrace; men and women of all ages and races, wrestling with religious doubt, furnish us opportunities every day to help bear some perplexed and dejected person's burden. 2. The burdened family. No home regardless of wealth or station, is free from the multitudinous burdens which afflict family life. The rich and socially great do not have to struggle for existence and place in society, yet they may have problems if character that burden infinitely more. The poor in addition to the daily grind, may also be burdened with character problems that you can help to lift. Because every family has an economic, social, moral or spiritual burden to lift, opportunities for service in that regard await every one of us. 3. The burdened race. And we would have you know that the Negro is not the only burdened race. The Anglo-Saxon carries greater burdens than the Negro or anybody else. That is due to his prominence. Leadership is always burdened with responsibilities. But, the heaviest lord on the Anglo-Saxon's mind and heart is not constructive leadership. It is the problem of recognizing and maintaining "White Supremacy," and at the same time being "a big brother to all other races." Deep down in the heart of the average white man is the disposition to deal more kindly than he does with other races, even the Negro. Because he feels that an absolutely squaro deal towards these peoples will be mistaken for an admission of their equality with him, he maintains an attitude towards them that in his heart of hearts, he condemns. This of necessity gives the average white man a burdened conscience. So, I repeat, the Negro is not the only burdened race. Hard as the oppression of race prejudice my be, it is a burden put on us by others and weighs much less than the burden an accusing conscience puts on the oppressor. Let me plead with men and women of my race, not to add to the oppression others put on us the burden of an offended conscience. What- MRS. NANCY GREEN OF "AUNT JEMIMA" FAME, IS DEAD. MRS. NANCY GREEN OF "AUNT JEMIMA" FAME, IS DEAD. (Preston News Service) CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 14,—Mrs. Nancy Green, aged 89 years, known in all parts of the world for her famous pancakes, died here last Thursday morning, the victim of a motor car accident. She was killed when a car driven by Dr. H. S. Seymour, collided with a truck and hurled onto the sidewalk where Mrs. Green was standing, killing her almost instantly. Mrs. Green first came into fame at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, when, in a pancake booth, she tickled the palates of visitors as well as amused them with pancake turner gymnastics. Her pancakes were so delicious that a milling company of St. Joseph, Mo., obtained her recipe, shortly afterwards, and marketed it in a container bearing her picture. WHERE POLITICS TAKES A HAND. WHERE POLITICS TAKES A HAND. (By The Associated Negro Press) (By The Associated Negro Press) PHILADELPHIA, PA., Sept. 14. Considerable interest is manifested in the politic1 situation in Philadelphia. Aside from lack of harmony in the organization, forward looking Negroes have taken a decided stand on certain political issues. The day has past for soft talk, and in communities where the population is large, like in Philadelphia, these men and women are facing real issues, and are going on record as making no compromise. There is one thing cert.in. Negroes are learning to stick together as never before, and are striking out in untried fields. The latest pioneering movement in the political fields is the announcement that a very progressive Negro, J. Henry Duckery, successful in business here, has filed his nomination petition and formally entered the Mayorality race. He is backed by the United Civic Association, comprising the best element of the city's colored population, so it is said. Mr. Duckery was asked to enter the rice by a committee of which John W. Sparks is chairman; Dr. Walter L. Brandon, C. J. Grant, C. A. Judge, William Bush, Harry Phillips, Isaac L. Banks, Jesse C. Evans, and Arthur L. Boykin. Mr. Duckery has been a resident of Philadelphia for ten years. He has four sons and one daughter, two of the children being graduates of the University of Pennsylvania. He was born in Delaware 55 years ago. He has been politically active for a number of years, having during his residence of fifteen years in Boston, helped to organize the colored voters, and assisted in electing a Democrat Mayor, Governor and United States Senator. The invitation to run expressed the wide-spread dissatisfaction with the other candidates in the field, and called attention to the lack of interest shown in the Negroes "after election." As expressed further in the invitation, "We may just as well face the indusputable fact that, in politics as otherwise, we are a segregated group, consistently forced to such positions after election by the willful neglect of those we helped into office...We may not be able to elect you, but hope to be able to present through you our cause for complaint against a system which denies social, civic, and political justice to a citizen because of the color of the skin."—D. W. C., Staff Correspondent. ever else may be our handicap, let us not be guilty of hating. Thoughts of hatred distort our minds embitter our spirits and destroy the image of God within us. Burdens borne unselfishly remind so much of the "Man of Galilee" that we should not only accept them, but count it a signal honor and high privilege to be like Him. Five Cents Per Copy RESOLUTIONS FOR FAIR PLAY. RESOLUTIONS FOR FAIR PLAY. (By The Associated Negro Press.) CHICAGO, Sept 7—In a conference held in Chicago, participated in by colored Democrats and Independents, a temporary organization was formed, and the name of "Non Partisan National Association of Colored Voters" was adopted. Several sessions were held, with representatives from at least twelve states. Maj. A. E. Patterson of Chicago was made temporary president; Ferdinand Q. Morton of New York, Chairman of the Executive Committee; Everett T. Chappelle, Secretary; Lester Wilton and Edgar Brown, Assistants; Harry K. Pace of New York, Treasurer. Dr Istae W. Young and Dr. Arthur Wallace, President and secretary of Langston University, Oklahoma, prominent sides of Governor Jack Walton of that state, Dr. Howard Smith and Dr. Wm. Thompkins of Kansas City, were present and took active part in the deliberations. The Association adopted a declaration of principles, in which was stated: "The National Government, like, under Republican and Democratic administrations, has failed, neglected and refused to use its power and authority to preserve and maintain the constitutional rights of the Colored American; and whereas, it has been the policy of the government, in violation of the constitution, to treat Colored citizens as political and civic inferiores of other citizens. There are more than a million Colored voters in the so-called pivotal states who possess political power sufficient, if intelligently employed for the benefit of the race, to secure the election of office of men who will not violate their oaths of office where the rights of Colored citizens are concerned, but who will in the performance of their official duties, act honorably and humanely and endeavor to administer the Government so as to protect all rights of all the people. "Resolved that it is the sense of this conference, that it is the duty of every Colored voter to place above his party the rights of his race and the fair name of his country; and to use his suffrage solely and exclusively for the purpose of maintaining his constitutional rights and privileges and asserting his political and civic equality, and for the purpose of wiping out the condition that disgraze the Nation; and that no colored voter in the exercising of his suffrage should consider himself bound by any party obligations whatsoever. ARE YOU AWARE? That a couple of L'Ouverture teachers look 10 or 12 years younger with their hair all bobbed and everything? They'll make folks thnk they are only 36 or 37 after a while. That all teachers and pupils seem to have had sufficient vacation to make them work better this year than ever before? The enrollment runs up to near the 600 mark by this time. That we as a race have a great problem on our hands to exterminate that class of our folks who continue to break over the fence and cause interracial relations to become more and more acute? Altho' most of the alleged crimes are done by artificially darkened faces, we have enough amongst us who do their part. That the church folks are wondering "what's the matter with the mourners?" The answer is, the devil's in the "Amen-corners;" Just stop and think a minute and stop wondering and you can solve the problem. God intended that the church should be in the church but not the world in the church. So the only salvation for these vexatious situation is to "brighten the corner where you are." Leavenworth Kansas By Ernest F. Jones Club No. 1 of Sunflower Baptist Church entertained Tuesday Aug. 28, with a percel post social at Miss Lula Baker's lunch room.

They had an enjoyable evening. Mrs. LeRoy Spencer and Mrs. Geo. Fields were hostesses at a grand miscellaneous shower and Whist Party Thursday Aug. 30th at the residence of Mrs. Fields, 408 Kicakapoo St., given in honor of Miss Mamie Davis who was married to Mr. Joseph Elmo Greene Thursday evening Sept. 6th.

Have you northern people thought about it? Are you preparing to meet the situation? Are you aware that their coming up here is a complex problems not easily simplified, are you really aware of that? They are leaving the South land migrating northward, to better their condition; but do you know that if the situation is not handled rightly, that they might make worse for themselves, yes and you as well, could make it worse couldn't they? The larger cities are feeling the drift the most, but the smaller cities are feeling it, maybe in smaller measure, don't worry though they will get their number, and it won't be long; the South-land is still moving. What are you going to do? There are the housing, educational and labor problems; Have you thought just how you are going to handle them? They must be handled you know. This is a problem for the colored Christians to handle, better get busy and handle it too. This is a job for the colored churches, better get on the job folks; it might be that you can do some missionary from a heathen land, but they are southerners from a southern land. Their coming brings them into a different atmosphere, different up here than it is down there. They are coming, bringing their southern ideas, and culture with them and it is all right down there, but up here it might be different. What are you going to do? possibly you know that the hard task is to instill into these pilgrims a hearty welcome with the ideas and culture of the North. Guess you know that is the thing you will have to do. You are not unmindful, I presume, that our colored neighbors must adopt themselves to the ways and manners of the North. If you know that, then you should know that it is up to you, to help them do it. Well, northerners, with the colored South coming up here, have you thought?... Better be thinking. What are you going to do? St. Mary Baptist Notes. Rev. J. E. Douglas, Pastor. Our Sunday services were very good throughout the day.

Special To The Negro Ster: FAIRBANK, PA., Sept. 10-It gives me great pleasure to write the 2nd time while visiting in the East. The race people are here from the states of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Virginia, by the thousands and they are still coming. The Steel Mills, Coke Mines, and Coal Mines are employing almost every man who lands here from the South. Wages are good. Men are making from $4.50 to $10.00 per pay for eight hours work in these industries. Many of our people are buying nice homes and are saving their money.. It is wonderful to see the great advancement of our people here in the East. We have been very busy since leaving the Convention at Homestead, Pa. We are now engaged in a great revival at the Nazaree M. B. Church of Fairbank, Pa. many souls have been added to the church during last week. We shall continue the meeting for another Week at this place. We ask each reader to pray for our success, and that much good be done in this place for the much needed cause. Sunday, Sept. 9th was a great day with us at 10:00 a. m. We conducted a Model Sunday School at 3:00 p. m. We attended a corner stone laying at the Mt. Olive Church, the Rev. N. L. Clement, pastor; and at 8:00 p. m., filled our place on the Sunday Program by delivering a sermon. We also delivered a sermon at 11 a. m., at the same place. It is wonderful to see the people who are anxious to attend all services during the entire day. You know that, that isn't always true in Kansas. The law of Pennsylvania is somewhat different from that of Kansas, in many ways. This state has some good laws, and good many that I don't like so well although our people have the opportunity of their lives to make good here, but at the same time a per cent of them have not even realized that yet. We are doing all that we can while here to help this class of people to see it is high time for them to take steps to blot out the poor idea and take up the idea of saving their money and do like the better class of our people are doing. But as a whole, this is a great money making section of the country. With best wishes to all of my friends in the West. I am for the Cause, (Rev.) L. D. Stevens. Salina Kansas News. Rev. L. L. Steward, Topeka, filled our pulpit Sunday and delivered a strong Gospel sermon from this text: "The Hidden Manna, The White Stone and a New Name." "One must feed daily on the hidden manna or spiritual food if they would grow strong in Christ." The usual good number were present at the S. School hour, and many facts were brought out in the study and review of the lesson. At 8 o'clock, Rev. Steward delivered another glorious sermon, using as a text: "Prepare to Meet Thy God." Theme: "The Necessity for preparation to Meet God." The Holy Spirit was prevalent in the meeting and the services were good throut the day. Detn Wm. Pickens, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C.
