For the Establishing " of The Kingdom. His Deeds Will Shine . Brighter Until The Perfect Day. a ee: eae Well born in Union S. C., in Oct. 81, 1866 was J, H. Van Leu from tke loin of a noble parentage, who moved to Mississippi in his extly life, where be was reared and educated at Holly Springs, Miss. For his high ambition for freedom, he left his business in Misalssipp! end spent several scars in California. He was ordained in 1882 and was called from California to prs- tor the Tabernacle Baptist Church, where he served for four years with muth success, H's membership still remains with this church. The breth- ren saw his worth and he was chosen as Missionary for Kanses and served 26 years, making it possible for the ministers to enjoy splendid fields to- day. He plinted, ministers are now watering and God js giving the: in- crease; and thank God the rewerds will be divided: so the harvest will grow on and on until ment can't count the ‘rewsrds when the crowning day shall come, Rev, Van Leu his been married for 26 years on July 29, to one of the finest women thrt Kansas has ever produced; small in statue but big in mind, in spirit andin purpose. To this joble union, they were blessed with 13 children, 14 now live with marks of talent in every one. As @ moth- er, she is mistress of her home ‘and love reigns supreme even in her most stern commends, the tone of love rings, He regarded her advice as sound and she honored him as king, so happiness reigned supreme in thelr 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 Sem- intry; 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 hed a heart. Then he would review the pi- oneer days with trem and tell of the herdships, but rejoice to know he bad been used of God to make it possible for them this day, As we have speed- ed over Kansas he would point to stations where te would sit up st the station all night, sleep on trucks, and so well do remember once at Cherryvale, where he ssid he was s0 tired until he thought a chicken coop would be more comfortable than the sects in the depot so te laid down on the coop tnd was filled with mites, Sometimes for three days witkout a warm or decent meal, but he would always rejoice to know thet he had suffered to put over God’s program. He died with his head and heart fixed on meeting the Northern Brptist Brethren in New York, in October, and Jaying the plans and worth of the Central Baptist Theologicel Sem- inary on their hearts, that they migtt make possible for a great school for the training of the religious leaders of this great Baptist Host in Amer- ica, but he, lke Moses wee able to view the promise land, but another must go over and possess ft. He shall not lose his reward, becttuse his life’s blood is In the movement, In vpite of the fact that he gave his life to God, God added to him a large; bappy family and property which will be the means of making Independent to equeate and support his children, He is now having built, a brick two-story business house on ALABAMA JUDGE SAYS COURTS MUST BE UPHELD, DECATUR, ALA. Sept, 14,—Per- sons wto teke upon themselves the | task of inflicting punishment on oth- ers may be actuated by highest mo- tives 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 tte activities of bands of men. Judge Horton point- ed out thet activities of these bands were few if at all in this section but warned the citizenship that the juris. diction of the court in a meting out punishment should not be interfered with, The judge said in pert:—“There has recently been e» unusual number of atticks upon private citizens by masked bands and numerous persons upon one pretext or another hive! ‘been taken out and whipped and re-| yerely beaten.....But ¢s a spirit of lawlessness is more or less epidem'e' it is wel! we should be careful to immediately suppress any ects of this kind. | “There can be but one place for the meting out of pun shment and that is through the courts, The courts sre instrumentalities ,)stitnted by Bal people for the punishment of offen- ders against the law. No matter what the crime, how guilty the perty and how united the public opinion, there are no excuses for private per; sons takirg the execution of pun sh- ment {nto their own hands, Suppose in one instence the perpetrators are actuated by-the highest motives and are seeking what they believe best fur their communities. But our bet~ ter natures tre easily debased.

The Jews, when Jesus was on earth, were very atrict observers of the law of Moses, In fact, they gave so much attention to the observince of the letter of the law tat they often lost sight of its significance. Jesus came and made it unnecessery' for them to bother about memorizing so much of the law, To love God supremely and one’s neigh- bor as one’s self, according to Jesus’ teaching, is to keep every require- ment of the “law tnd the prophets.” Christ, therefore, tas only one law and that law {s love.

Many a suicide would heve been averted if someone by kind word o« deed had lifted the burden which bore 80 heavily upon the victim. Young ‘women, burdened with sins committed while conscience slept; young men burdened with the embarussment of financial loss or social disgrace; men and women of til ages and races, wrestling with rel gious doubt, fur- nish us opportunities every day to help bear some perplexed and deject- ed person's burden, 2. The burdened family, No home regardless of we: ith or station, is frvc from tre multitudinous burdens which aMict family life.

Leadership fs always burdened with responsibil- ities, But, the heaviest lord on the Anglo-Saxon’s mind and heert is not constructive leadership, It is the problem of recognizing and maintain. ing “White Supremacy,” and at the samo time being “a big brother to 6ll other races.” Decp down in tke heart of the average white mon {s the dis- position to deal more kindly than he does with other races, even the Negro. Because he fects that an absolutely squaro deal towards these peoples will be mistaken for an admission of their equality with him, ho maintains an cttitude 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 us the op- pression of race prejudice my be, It is a burden put on us by others end weighs much less than the burden an ticcusing conscience puts on the op: pressor, Let me plead with men and women of my race, not to add to the oppression others put on us tho bur- den of an offended conscience. What: MRS. NANCY GREEN °° “AUNT JEMIMA” FAME, IS DEAD. CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 14,—Mrs, Neney Green, aged £9 years, hnown ia all parts of the world for her famous pancakes, died here last Thursday morning, the victim of a motor car accident. She wes killed when a car driven by Dr, I. S, Seymour, collided with a truck and hurled onto the sidewtlk where Mrs, Green was standing, killing her almost instant- ly. Mrs. Green first came into fame tt the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, when, in a pancake booth, ste tickled the palates of*visitors as well as amused them with pencahe turner gymnastics. Her pancakes were so delizious that a milling compiny of St. Joseph, Mo, obtained her recipe, shortly afterwards, and merketed it in a container bearing her picture. —-s——— TAKES A HAND. (By The Associated Negro Press) PHILADELPHIA, PA., Sept. 14,— Considerable interest is manifested in the politict{ situation in Philadelphia. Aside from lack of harmony in the organization, forward looking Ne- groes have taken a decided stand on certain political issues. The day has past for soft trik, and in communities where the population fs large, like {r Philadelphia, these men end women are facing real issues, und 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 un- tried fields, The letest pioneering movement in the political fields is the announcemcnt that a very pro- gressive Negro, J. Henry Duckery, successful in business here, has filed his nomination petition and formally entered the Muyorality race, He is backed by the United Civic Assocta- tion, comprising the best element of the city’s colored population, xo it is said, Mr, Duckery was asked to enter the rice by a committee of which John W. Sparks is chairman; Dr, Wal- ter L. Brandon, C, J. Grant, C. A. Judge, Willicm Bush, Harry Phillips, Isaac L, Banks, Jesse C, Evans, and Arthur L, Boykin. Mr, Du-kery 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 Penn- sylvanit, He was born in Delaware 55 years ago. He has been politically active for = number of ycars, having during his residence of fifteen years in Boston, belped to organize the col- ored voters, and assisted In electing & Democrttic Mayor, Governor and United States Senator. ‘The invitation to run expressed the wide-spread dissatisfaction with the other candidates in'the field, and call- ed 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 indus putablo fect that, in politics aa other- whe, we are @ segregated group, con- sistently forced to such positions af- ter election by the willful neglect of those we helped into office....We mty not be able to elect you, but hope te be able to present through you out cause for complaint agi.nat a system which denies sozlal, civic, and politi- cet justic to a citizen because of the color of the shin."=D, W, C., Stall Correspondent. ever else my be our handicap, let us not be guilty of hating.

RESOLUTIONS FOR FAIR PLAY. {bv the Associated Negro Press.) CHICAGO, Sept 7—In a conference held In Chicago, participsted in by colored Democrats «nd Independents, a temporary orgenization was formed, and the name of “Non Partisan Ni« tional Association of Colored Voters” wes adopted. Several sessions were held, with representatives from at least twelve states, Maj. A. E. Pate terson of Chictgo was made tempor. ary president; Ferdinand Q. Morton of New York, Chairman of the Exec- utive Committee; Everett T, Chap- pelle, Secretary; Lester Welton and Edgar Brown, Assistants; Harry H. Pace of New York, Treasurer, Dr Istac W. Young and Dr. Arthur Wal- lace, President and secretary of Lang. ston University, Oklahoma, promi- nent cider of Governor Jack Walton of that state, Dr, Howard Smith and Dr, Wm, Thompkins of Kansas City, were present end took active part in the deliberations, The Association adopted a declaration of principles, in which was stated: “The Nat'onal Government, chke, under Republican and Democratic ad- ministretions, has failed, neglected and refused to use its power and au- thority to preserve and maintain the constitutions] rights of the Colored American; and whereas, it hes been the policy of the government, in vio- lation of the constitution, to treat Colored citizens ts political and civic inferiors of other citizens. There ate more than a million Colored voters in the so-called pivotal states who pos- sess politict] power sufficient, if in- telligently employed for tte benefit of the race, to secure the election of of- fice of men who will not violate the'r oaths of office where the rights of Colored citizens are concerned, but who will in the performance of thelr official dutics, ect honorably and ku- manely and endeavor to administer the Government so 1a to protect all rights of all the people. “Resolved that it {s the sense of this conference, that it is the duty of every Colored voter to place above his perty the rights of his race and the fair name of his country; and to use his suffrage solely and exclusive- ly for the purpose of maintulning his constitutional rights and privleges and asserting his political end civic equality, and for the purpose of wip- ing out the condition that disgrrce the Nation; and thet no colored voter in tke exercising of his suffrage should consider himself bound by sny party obligations whatsoever, ARE YOU AWARE? That a couple of L’Ouverture tecen- era look 10 or 12 years younger with their hair all bobbed end everything? They'll make folks think they are on- ly 36 or 37 after 2 while. ‘That all teachers and pupils seem to heve 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. Thst we as a race have & great problem on our hands to exterminate that class of our folks who continue to break over the fence and ccuse interracial relations to become more and more acute? Altho’ most of the tlleged crimes are done by artificially darkened: faces, we tave enough amongst us who do the'r part: Thit the church folks are wonder+ ing “what's the matler with the mourners?" The anawer is, the devil's in the “Amen-corners;" Just stop and think a minute und stop wonder- ing 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 aclvation for these vexatious situation is to “brighten the corner where you are.” READ THE NEGRO STAR $1.50 PER YEAR Leavenworth Kansas Tiy Ernest F.
