THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE State Historical Society, W. E. Bacon TH FOR Vol. 15, No. 30, ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES. That our country is yet in dire need of a few more persons who really like to think out things? Too many of this generation and past generations float screnely along and stand quietly by and allow their communities to go to the dogs just for a few brief moments of meditation supported by a little bit of active response. Such matters of importance as this are instilled into the hearts and minds of our "Y" boys under the general management of Capt. Hutcherson as a result of the sound advice and instruction, and guidance of Mr. Hutcherson and his co-laborers, some definite accomplishments are being made? That "Bill" Taylor has not only reentered school with a "peppy" snap, but has joined the "Y" singing aggregation to help put over the musical program? Last year "Bill" sang second tenor in the quartet. He has been placed in the "Bear" tone section this year—may-be the hog-tone section with Ed. Johnson next year.

A FEW HOURS IN WINFIELD By special request of the worthy pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Winfield, Dr. J. W. Hayes, Mesdames Ora Carter, Jewel Brown and H. T. Sims were helpers in rally last Sunday afternoon. With special effort and a rush away from the 11 o'clock service we were on our way in the taxi driven by Mrs Walters, for Winfield, where we were met by the most pleasant group of Christian workers with dinner all prepared. We dined and went right into service, opening with a sweet anthem with Mrs. Orn Carter at the piano. Song: Singing to Victory; Scriptures were read by Rev. Hamilton, Pastor of the A. M. E. Church from Matt. 3:1-11. Song: There's A Land of Perfeit Delight; prayer by Rev. C. E. Wood of Arkansas City. A very touching solo by Mrs. Jewel Brown: God Leads His Dear Children Along. Pastor Rev. F. K. Leith introduced Dr. J. W. Hayes, who preached a great sermon from Phil. 4:19; subject: The Sufficient Christ. We could see how we could put over God's program with ease if we would accept Christ as our all, and prosperity would reign everywhere. A fervent prayer was offered by B10. Johnson. Another solo: Is There Any One Can Help Us? by Mrs. Jewel Brown. Then came the contest of the women against the men; of course the women under Mrs. Jewel Brown, beat. This is one of the most talented churches in the district and it is a real pleasure to meet them. While compliments were passed, and friends were meeting friends, we were whirled over to Mrs. Franklin's beautiful, new home. It is really a charm, presented by her son and she is asked to just be mistress of the home and he will do the rest—A great son! We learned that Miss Montgomery has finished her college degree and is now A. B. She is a great young woman, the pride of the Montgomery home and Winfield. Paola, Kansas News. Nov. 12, 23 The Mt.

Sunday was a high day at New Hope Baptist Church; Sunday School at 9:45 with good attendance and a deal of interest was taken in the lesson by all present. Mr. W. R. Thomas our teacher surely knows how to explain Gcd's Word. We then had prayer services 30 minutes. The pastor, Rev. C. R. Bruster chose for his text, "Go ye therefore into all the world and proach the Gospel; teaching them to observe all things: lo I will be with you alway." I cannot do justice to this subject at all; but will say, I wish you had been here and heard for yourself. We then went to the White Baptist Church and baptized five (for the use of their pool) then we had another glorious meeting. At six B. Y. P. U. A good lesson was well taught by our new teacher, Miss Leana Vaughn, which was well taught. If the older ones will help and encourage her, she will make a great worker in the church. One Rev. E. L. Nails of Wichita, Kansas, preached a very good sermon from 1st chapter of St. John 11th verse: "He came to His own and His own received Him not;" theme, "The Rejected Saviour." We then fellow-shipped the candidates and administered the Lord's Supper and all went home feeling in our hearts that God was well pleased with our day's work for Him. You know we can feel in our hearts when God is pleased or displeased with us. Our Sunday School is taking on new life we are pleased to say and Mrs. Annie Alexander said she was going again and true to her word, she and all three of her children were there. We hope all the mothers will follow this example—Let none stop. We ask the prayers of every praying reader of this paper for our success. Rev. L. L Nails of Wichita, Kansas, is the guest of Mrs. Lena Brannon who came from there, here, last Spring. There were quite a few out-of-town fcels at the baptizing last Sunday. Mr. W. A. Matthews the gent who recently won for himself the bride from Pueblo, with his bride, ate dinner with Deacon and Mrs. Burt, Sunday. Mrs. J. H. Horne has gone to finish her visit with her children in Wyoma, having been called home in August when her son got hurt in the mines. Mrs. R. B. Thurman united with our church, Sunday; she hails from the A. M. E. Church; Bro. Thurman was a Baptist already and she cast her lot with him, and says she had just as leave go to heaven by water as by land, just so she is sure to get there. We are glad and are praying continually for more laborers in the vineyard, for the harvest truly is great but the laborers are few. Sister Thurman is a church worker and not a jerker, neither a shirker and we are glad to welcome her. Our sick are improving, we are glad to say at this writing. Mr. Call Neavels, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smith motored to Pueblo Sunday morning, returning Sunday evening, to see young Miss Neavels who made her arrival on Oct. 28th. All are doing fine. Mr. and Mrs. Dyers and Mr. Bud Wills of the Holiness Church have been holding a few days' meeting in Walsen, returning home today. Mrs. Willie Brown and Mrs. Mollie Jones will leave next Wednesday for Hot Springs, Arkansas, to take some baths for their health; which we hope will improve them for it is bad to be sick and can't feel good. Mrs. P. H. Johnson is suffering from an abcess which is very painful and we are wishing her an early convalescence. Mrs. H. Burt. FRIDAY, Nov. 16, 1923. TO THE KANSAS BAPTISTS Dearly Beloved:— A little more than two months ago, our brother and Missionary of 27 years, Rev. J. H. Van Leu, passed from labor to reward while in attendance at the National Baptist Convention assembled in annual session at Los Angeles, California. Words cannot ascribe the good service and helpful inspiration of Christ and His Kingdom that was rendered Kansas Baptists and the Western World in the many years of labor and sacrifice, through privation, need and suffering. To the vision of the sainted Van Leu we owe much of the Advance work of the State, and the determination for Baptist perpetuity. There are few States in the National Baptist Convention that have a Missionary Pastor Program so well laid and worked out as the State of Kansas. It is the future life of the Baptists in generations to come. Through this program, pastors are able to work on small fields with a Christian contentment and satisfaction. Again, to Dr. J. H. Van Leu, we owe the establishment of the Summer School held each year to Topeka, where the ministers of the State and even those of other states are privileged to come and study together under competent and experienced teachers, the word of God and the problems of pastoral life. This Institution is a long felt need and opens an opportunity to sincere and earnest laborers in God's vineyard. Last, but by no means the least, the founding and establishing of Central Baptist Theological Seminary at Topeka, is the vision of our sainted Van Leu who now watches the movements of Baptist family from his tower on high. We pray that this Institution will ever be a memorial to the service, sacrifice, and suffering of J. H. Van Leu. We thank God for the life and service of such a minister. To us he is alive because in whatever direction we look and what ever the object we behold, we see Dr. J. H. Van Leu, State Missionary of Kansas—27 years. It was Providence that made vacant the office of the State Missionary of Kansas Baptist Convention, placing the responsibility upon the messengers in attendance at the annual meeting to select a successor to the late Dr. J. H. Van Leu. To our observation, never before did a religious assembly go about its task so righteously and reverently to select a Missionary for the Kansas Baptists. Since our Convention, in the selection of its State Missionary or Executive Secretary as the office will be designated in the future, was absolutely free from any atmosphere that surrounds and controls political convention, we all can but truthfully feel that the Holy Ghost was with the Baptist in the appointment of the office. So Brethren, let us march on. Put over the program of the Missionary Pastors' Summer School, and the Central Baptist Theological Seminary to the memory of Rev. J. H. Van Leu and to the Glory of God. The task that is foremost is the $10,000 Budget for the State Work. While this is a small amount for the number of Baptists it is greater than we have yet been able to realize. So this year, let us put the job over, or as Rev. Geo. McNeal says, 'Report to God the Reason Why.' The Budget for this year is proportioned to the Districts as follows: Kaw Valley $3,000; Southwestern $1,500; Southeastern $2,000; North-eastern $1,500; Smoky Hill $1,000; Neosho Valley $1,00. Ere this statement reaches you, the first quarterly Board Meeting of most all Districts will be history. Those which we have met have responded readily to the new program. We pray that all may do likewise. The amount of Budget for each district for first quarter is: Kaw Valley $750; Southeastern $500; Southwestern $375; Northeastern $375; Smoky Hill $250; Neosho Valley $250. Now Brethren, If you fall short of your quarterly demands, don't leave your Board meeting without devising plans to have the money collected and THE COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE GOING OVER THE TOP It is wonderful to see how our people are subscribing to the great movement. They have now about gone Over The Top with their quota, under the direction of Dr. P. M. Bell. We have heard from Mrs. Pearl Robinson and Capt. W. L. Hutcherson and they are well pleased with the responses. We hope to be able in next issue to report all in details. The teachers at L'Overture School, subscribed 100% making a total of $200. The Colored Workers at the Wichita Club 100%. This goes to show that our people are willing to better the community in which we live. Cherryvale News Items.

There were 100 in attendance last Sunday morning; and were pleased to see so many new faces and the large number of visitors. At 11 o'clock, we assembled in the auditorium to listen to the message delivered by Dr. E. W. Perry of Oklahoma City, who has been conducting revival services for the past 10 days. For the Scripture Lesson the 38th to the 42nd verse of the 19th chapter of Luke, were read. Dr. Perry used for his text the 40th verse of the 19th chapter of Luke, relecting as a subject The Triumphal Entry of Christ Into Jerusalem. A most powerful and far-reaching message, that made our hearts burn within us. He spoke of the fitness of Christ to evoke reigious enthusiasm and that Christianity is a fire that grows warmer, the more you handle it. He also spoke of the Divine order in worship, emphasizing the fact that there is a time to worship; and that we should give Praise when we come to church to Worship. The reverence and the worship that belongs to God. The Triumphal Entry of Christ when He comes the 2nd time to receive His church was so beautifully pictured that we could see by faith and thru the mind's eye, this wonderful reunion. This message will live long in the hearts of its hearers. There were 8 additions to the church Sunday morning at the close of this appealing and soul stirring sermon. Among the visitors in our services Sunday morning were Mr. and Mrs. Owens, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Verve Watts of Hutchinson, Mrs. Belle Underwood, Newton, Mrs. Laura Burks and son of Waco, Texas, Misses Davenport and Daniels of Omaha, Nebr. We welcome the visitors at all times and ask that you make Calvary your church home while in the city. At 6 o'clock the B. Y. P. U., opened in the basement with a large number present. "The Cost of Discipleship;" was the subject of the lesson, and this was well presented by the group captains. In the absence of our Black-Board Demonstrator, Mr. Sims, the lesson was reviewed by Deacon Case. The Willing Workers led in offering of $685 on the Social group won the attendance banner. At 8 o'clock we again assembled in the auditorium for evening worship; Scripture Lesson for the evening was 20th chapter of St. John. The text was 25th and 29th verses. Dr Perry used as subject: "Faith In The Resurrection of Jesus." We can readily agree with the large congregation in saying that we never before sat and listened to such a message as this message on last Sunday evening. It was a master-piece of spiritual and literary greatness, and drawing power. The large congregation was held spell-bound for one hour and thirty minutes as this Man of God spoke to us on The Faith In The Resurrection and urging us as Christians to have the faith to believe that when we sleep our last sleep, we shall rise again. At the close of this never-to-be-forgotten message 15 souls were united to the church. During the absence of Rev. Perry, (being called home to preach a funeral) Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor of St. Mary Baptist Church, delivered the message on Monday night; a soulstirring, spiritual sermon was delivered by the Rev. Douglass, and sinners came forward asking for the prayers of the church and at the close of the message, several united with the church. On Tuesday night Rev. McAlbaith of Dallas, Texas spoke for us using as a subject: "Bebold, The Lamb of God." This was a spiritual sermon and we felt the Spirit as he talked with us by the way. On Wednesday night Dr. Perry was with us again and brought us a message on "The Prodigal Son." The Christians clearly saw and every sinner (a prodigal) should have seen his host condition without making up in his mind and coming into the (Continued on page 4) SOME FOLKS LIVE BY THEIR WITS — AND OTHERS BY THE SWEAT OF THEIR BROW I WONDER IN WHICH CLASS I BELONG? NEITHER CLASS YOU HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR TWENTY YEARS (1933) (PRICE SERVICE BURGAN) St. Mary Baptist Notes. Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor. We had splendid services all day Sunday, Nov. 11th; beginning with the Sunday School, Supt. Bro. J. D. Wilson was at his post with his staff of teachers and many bright faces eager to learn the word of God. Many helpful thoughts were brought out from the lesson subject: "Some Missionary Teaching of the Psalms." Some of the points brought out were: One reason why we should praise God:—that others may become to know Him by hearing us praise and adore His Holy Name; we should sing about Him, talk about Him, pray about Him, that the world may see and know there is a reality in serving a True and Living God; and thereby win souls for Christ. We are striving to do all we can for Christ's Kingdom Building in this part of the city. At 11:30 Scripture reading by Rev. J. W. Johnson from Matt. Our pastor selecting as his text the 5th verse of the chapter read; using for a subject: "Beam;" brought a wonderful message. Some of the many points brought out were:—We should rid ourselves of our faults before we try to find fault of others. Oftimes persons are so full of faults themselves until they think they are in others. We are urged to practice what we preach; if we tell others don't kill, steal or lie, etc, let us not do so. He brought out so many ways in which one can kill, lie, or steal etc, we are urged to live the life, do the will of the Heavenly Father, that the world may see Jesus through us. By that means, win souls for Christ. It was a well prepared sermon; at the close, five were added to our membership. B. Y. P. U., at 6:30. interest is increasing each Sunday. The lesson was very interesting, subject: "The Cost of Discipleship." It costs entire consecration, it costs suffering, it costs cross-bearing, it costs self-denial, it costs endurance, etc. After all it brings joy, peace, happiness and life everlasting. At 8.00 p. m., we re-assembled for the evening worship; after praise service we again listened to a strong, logical sermon from our pastor from the subject: "Cyclone;" choosing his text from Rom. 5:20. "Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." It was a well prepared message, delivered with the power of the Holy Spirit. Sin is compared with a cyclone, destructive in its make-up, as a cyclone destroys the body, so will sin destroy the soul. We gladly received the message. Visitors are always welcome to worship with us. Our motto: "Only once a stranger." Make St. Mary your church home while in the city. Clubs are getting busy making preparation to raise money for church repair work in the near future; they are holding their weekly meetings giving entertainments and special programs. Prayer services Wednesday evening end club No 1 will entertain in the basement with a special program on Thursday evening. Home Mission Circle Friday afternoon. Weekly entertainment Friday evening. Our pastor and wife are attending the Board Meeting at Hutchinson, this week. (Mrs.) O. L. Nesby, reporter. Salina, Kansas News. ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH Our services Sunday were successful from every viewpoint, spiritually, financially and numerically. There were three big services during the day. Our revival is now in full sway and many souls are being saved. Rev. C. P. Morrow, a strong Gospel preacher and Rev. J. E. Jeltz, a noted singer are here spending themselves in this great fight against sin. At 11 o'clock the church was filled and after a glorious praise service, Dr. Jeltz sang, "The Holy City;" which was enjoyed by all; afterwhich pastor Williams preached a powerful sermon. He selected for his text 1st Kings 18-21, "And Elijah came unto all the people and said: How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow Him; but if Baal, then follow him." Theme: "Decide For God." Our hearts were made to burn within us as he so clearly pointed out the importance of making this one great decision. In deciding for Elijah's God, the gateway to many blessings is opened, because He is a prayer-hearing God. At 3 p. m., Special services for the benefit of the children was conducted. A large and appreciative audience witnessed the message delivered by Rev. C. P. Morrow, who those as his subject, "The way of the transgressor is hard." A very vivid picture of the life and destiny of the transgressor or was drawn and many very impressive illustrations were made. At 8 p. m., Rev. Morrow delivered At 8 p. m. Rev. Morrow delivered another soul stirring sermon, dis- cussing this thought: "What think ye of Christ?" He spoke of Christ's life as an inspiration, demonstration and a fact. Dr. Jeltz is bringing to us, the Gospel in song; his wonderful voice is a great asset to the meeting. There were nine (9) additions to the church Sunday, one for the Methodist making a total of twenty-two (22) up to this date. The meeting will continue throughout this week. Next Sunday, Nov. 18th is the day set apart for baptizing. The Mission Circle met at the home of Mrs. L. Green and the Ladies' Aid Society with Mrs. Jas. De Priest. The revival spirit characterized both of these meetings. After a very interesting and instructive Bible Lesson taught by the pastor, the time was given in praising God thru songs prayers and testimonies. (From week of Nov.9th) At St. John Baptist Church, Sunday, services were well attended at both morning, afternoon and evening At 10:45 song services were conducted by Rev. J. E. Jeltz, the great national singer, assisted by the Ch., chorus; afterwhich, Pastor Williams delivered a burning message taken from Heb. 12:1,2. subject: "Six things Prerequisite to Christian Success." This was a straight-forward, practical sermon, emphasizing laying off weights and sins and exercising patience in this Christian race and looking to Jesus for our rich reward. At 3 p. m., a glorious praise service was conducted by Rev. J. E. Jeltz; wherein a large number of Christians testified their love and gratitude toward Jesus. At 8 p. m., Rev. P. C. Crutchfield of Hutchinson, preached a very striking sermon; using as a theme: "The Funeral of the soul." We are in the midst of a great revival meeting here now. The pastor is being assisted by Rev. P. C. Crutchfield, Hutchinson and Rev. J. E. Jeltz. Rev. Morrow, of Ottawa, is expected to be here soon to help in this great fight against sin. Mr. Thurman Williams, Emporia spent a few days in the city. Mr. W. E. Collins, Fort Riley, was in the city, Saturday. A goodly number were present and enjoyed the Hallowe'en Party given in the church dining hall, Tuesday evening. The spacious hall was very artistically decorated in Hallowe'en colors and emblems. Weird stories were told and various games played. Refreshments were served. A very merry evening spent and a neat little sum realized for the Ladies Aid. —Church Reporter. Iev. C. F. Collins, Pastor. Sunday School opened at 9:45, and proved to be one of the best in its history. Supt. J. B. Brown was at his post; teachers and students in their classes. It is pleasing to hear the tramping of the feet and to see the smiling faces of the youths as they enter the classes to study. We are enrolling new pupils each Sunday, which tells that all the staff are putting their energy into the work of Kingdom Building. The subject: Everybody Serving God;" brought out new ideas. All nations, the world around praising God for what He has for them. To those who are not attending Sunday School—Will you stop and think of what He has done for you? And let us see you in Sunday School, Sunday. At 11:30 our pastor was well prepared to give the message; reading St. Matthew 5:3-12; Psalm 123; subject; "Prayer;" which found all filled with the Spirit and enjoyed the sermon; glad to have one unite with us. At 3:30 we were at 15th Street church where our pastor preached another excellent sermon and left the audience declaring him to be a great man. Ask Rev. Brown; he seemed to have felt the Spirit, We are glad again to welcome our ex-pastor, Rev. H. H. Edmond in the city this week. Welcome to our services each Sunday. Usual weekly services.

One thing is certain the colored race cannot hope for great commercial and political advancement without it learns the potential force held in what is commonly called a "PULL." Other races win because they allow members of their race to reach the highest bounds of success in order that they may reach back and pull up another member of the race to which they belong; while the colored race thru force of yellow, radical sense of journalism, insane conception of racial leadership and conceited spirit of egotistic political wisdom believed to be seldom possessed on the part of far too many of the race, ever may be found striving to pull down the factors best fitted thru the power of heights attained to lift members of the race.

To The Press: The Wichita Council of Churches is advised by the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America that Dr. George E. Haynes will be able to visit Wichita, on Friday, February 19, 1924 for an Interracial Conference. The definite date is the result of several years of preliminary correspondence and consultation Dr. Haynes is the Negro Secretary of the Federal Council's commission on the church and race relations. He is one of the outstanding members of his race in America. After a long year's work which has challenged the respect and co-operation of the white citizens of the South, he is now giving himself to the development of better relations between the races under denominational auspices throughout the nation. It is expected that he will be accompanied by Mr. Franklin O. Nichols of the American Hygiene Association, who will discuss problems and methods of health education and lead discussions of the problems of health in race relations. It is possible also that Dr. Will Alexander of Atlanta, Georgia, the white Secretary of the Commission will also be present. The happy relationship between Dr. Alexande and Dr. "SAY IT WITH MUSIC" The COLERIDGE-TAYLOR CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC Only Diligent Pupils Are Accepted Develope Your Musical Side You May Surprise Yourself Strictly Modern Methods Used We give the Diploma Course Miss Dorothy L.

Haynes is one of the best evidences of good will between the races. The Toledo Council of Churches, Toledo, Ohio has just held a successful Interracial Conference and the Chicago Church Federation held a very remarkable conference of this sort some months ago. It is probable that the February conference in Wichita, will be preunder the department of Organized race relations in this city. The Wichita Conference will be under the department of Organized Good Will of the Council of Churches President W. O. Mendenhall of Friends University is General Chairman and Secretary W. L. Hutcherson of the Water Street Y. M. C. A., is chairman of the Commission on Interracial Good Will. It is confidently expected that this conference will greatly strengthen the hands of all those who are seeking to maintain in Wichita the historic relationship of friendly co-operation between the two races.
