Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.15, No.32, ROLAND HAYES CAPTIVATES LARGE AUDIENCE IN RECITAL (Preston News Service) NORFOLK, VA, Nov. 30—Roland Hayes, celebrated lyric tenor, who is heralded as one of the most finished resital artists before the American public today, sang in concert at the Zion Baptist Church Saturday night. The Richmond Times Dispatch critic, commenting on the program given by Hayes at Richmond, Monday night said: "Most of us old-timers have long clung to the idea that the Negro voice does not lend itself happily to schooling, and that its appeal lies in its natural and untaught quality, just as we used to believe that such men as Blind Tom who played by ear, could become famous as an instrumentalist. Now it may well be that Roland Hayes will give us further instructions in the matter of the highly schooled Negro singer. Not relatively, but positively speaking, if there is a lyric tenor capable of giving a more admirable recital in America today, I do not recall him." "BULLET" ROGAN HOLDS RECORD (Preston News Service) CHICAGO, ILL., Nov. 28 - Bullet Rogan, star pitcher with the Kansas City Monarchs, holds the strikeout record of all times, for a single game. Once during Bullet's stay in the U S. Army, where he first gained his fame, exactly 25 men tasted the sting of Rogan's twirling without doing more than whiffing the breeze. Then to add to the day's activities, Rogan made it his 52nd win of the season. If this record has ever been approached in any league, there are no records to show the same. NEGRO NATIONAL LEAGUE TO MEET DECEMBER 6 (Preston News Service) CHICAGO, ILL., Nov. 29-The National Negro League will hold its fifth annual meeting in this city, beginning December 6 and lasting for three days. Besides the election of officers, trades, schedules, umplies, other business of importance will be taken up. The meeting closed to the general public Kansas City will be awarded the penant for the past season. Birmingham will seek to enter the league thru Joe Bush of the Black Barons. Other cities making bids are Tulsa, Okla. and Cleveland, Ohio. It is rumored that Charleston, of the A. B. C.'s, is to be traded to Fostor of the American Giants. A number of other trades are also in the air. Three of Foster's regulars are slated for the axe it is understood. BETTER FILMS FOR COLORED CHILDREN BETTER FILMS FOR COLORED CHILDREN ATLANTA, GA., November (Special)—The Atlanta Better Films Committee, which for some time has been putting on at leading theaters special educational films for white children, recently extended this service also to colored children, showing the same films in one of the Negro theaters. The Committee reports that the experiments has been quite successful, the audiences being large and appreciative. The colored women's clubs of the city are co-operating by providing chaperonage for the children. The Better Films Committee is made up of Atlanta women prominent in club and social life and is headed by the president of the Woman's Club. COLORED CITIZENS SURPRISE ATLANTA MAKE NOTABLE CONTRIBUTION TO COMMUNITY CHEST CAMPAIGN. ATLANTA, GA., November, (Special)—A notable feature of the Community Chest Campaign for $600,000 which was successfully conducted here last week was the active and generous co-operation of the colored people who made 4261 subscriptions to the fund, aggregating $33,084. This sum about equals the total amount apportioned in the Chest Budget to the six participating Negro organizations, indicating that in Atlanta, at least, the colored population is reaching the point where it can care for its own pliantthropies and need no longer entail burden on the community in this regard. More surprising than the total was the fact that the second largest individual subscription of the whole campaign was one of $3500, made by Heman Perry, colored, in the name of The Service Company, an organization which affiliates eleven Negro business enterprises, with a total capitalization of $5,500,000. Officers and employees of this company subscribed a total of $8050. E. R. Black, the campaign chairman, paid an appreciative tribute to the spirit shown by the colored people in this great community enterprise.

Arthur made a business trip to Dunlap this week. Rev. Merrit has been called to Junction City, to help carry on a meeting. We are all surely glad and thankful to be spared again for one more Thanksgiving Day. Mrs. Pearl Harrison was in Paxico, WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Nov. 30, 1923. NEW LEADER FOR STUDENT YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION NEW YORK, N. Y.—One of the first public announcements of Dr. C. H. Tobias, Sen'or Secretary of the Department for Colored men of the International Committee, was the announcement that Mr. William Curtis Craver, for five years leader of Student Associations of the Southwest, would have chief responsibility in leading the Y. M. C. A., work among the colored schools and colleges of America. Mr. Craver is an alumnus of Shaw University and the University of Chicago, 1912. He organized and set up the first standard student conference in the Southwest. This conference meets annually at Coleman College, Gibsland, Louisiana. Its total registration last year surpassed that of Kings Mountain the oldest F. M. C. A., student conference within our group. (Signed) The Resposibility and Opportunity of the Intermediate Teacher BY MISS GENEVA MERCOMES, Newton, Kansas. (Continued from last issue) There are a number of physical changes which affect their behavior in fact their whole lives at this age. Increased blood pressure, muscular development, growth of the brain and other changes consume a great deal of energy, and the pupils are often called lazy and listless, when really they should not be blaned. The powers of mind and body do not develop harmoniously and their whole lives are contradictory. Adolescent boys and girls do not understand themselves and too often parents and teachers do not understand them. They are called "gigging girls;" self-sufficient boys," and a hundred other unsympathetic terms are applied to them. True enough they do manifest some of these traits but it is the teacher's duty to deal with them kindly. While boys are usually boisterous and self-assertive, girls are more often timid and shy, due to somewhat awkward physical conditions. They are sensitive and even morbid in some cases. Here is where mothers and daughters become estranged, and girls leave the teasing or scolding family and often resort to tears in the solitude of their own room. Boys who are given the worst rooms in the house leave them for a more attractive place "down-town." Then we pray for our "wandling boy" and "wayward girl," when we, not knowing what we did, drove them away. We must study them, that we may understand and deal tenderly with them. A wise, sympathetic friend outside of the family can be a great blessing to a girl at this age. They naturally idealize an older girl or a young woman. The new problems which they cannot solve demand a trustworthy friend. Here is the teacher's opportunity. Let her become this friend, she can win their admiration, trust and confidence, and be a real helper to them. She must be kind, sympathetic and prayerful in the task. Return their love, it is easy to do, be the same to them everywhere. Their budding souls are so tender, so easily (Continued on page four) Mr. and Mrs. Dick Mitchell and Mrs. Merritt attended services in Junction City. Mrs. Dunn who has been visiting her sister Mrs. Lewis, returned to Minneapolis, today. SOUTHERN WHITE EDITORS TO ADVERTISE SOUTH TO REST OF WORLD SOUTHERN WHITE EDITORS TO ADVERTISE SOUTH TO REST OF WORLD (Preston News Service) NEW ORLEANS, LA, Nov 29-At a recent meeting of the Southern Newspaper Publishers' Association a committee was appointed for the purpose of selling the South to the South and to the rest of the world fur that matter. It was claimed in the meeting that there is a general misunderstanding of the beauties of the South as a place to live and do business. Among the many things that the world "is to be set right on" are about the educational advantages and facilities, industrial opportunities, living conditions and a full and complete understanding of the southern Negro and why he is handled best by southern white men's methods. The campaign will start next spring and handle by the 217 white daily newspapers that are members of the association. GOV. SMITH WELCOMES NEGRO WHO LIVES CLEAN, WORKS HARD Preston News Service) NEW YORK, Nov. 29 —Governor Smith Monday night told a mass meeting of Negroes held in the interest of those of their race who are migrating from the South to the North and that "If your relatives in the South want to come North and will be as clean living hard-working members of society as you are, we will be glad to have them." "Anyone willing to work, who is fairly intelligent, is an assett I wish your movement all possible success Gall on me and I will help either in word or deed Referring to the white cross labor bureau, Rev. Simon P. Drew, manager, which has undertaken to provide employment for the migrating Negroes, the governor declared New York was the country's greatest industrial state and the necessity of the hour was the medium which brought capital and labor together." ALABAMA TEACHERS MOLD INSTITUTE: PRAISED BY STATE SCHOOL OFFICIALS. ANDALSIA ALA., Nov. Nov. 29- Miss Mary E. Foster, state supervisor of Colored Schools for Alabama, closed Saturday a two-day institute for Colored teachers of Covington county. There were 15 teachers present and a interesting program was carried out. On Saturday morning Supt.

Pope acting as Mistress of Ceremonies, the Negro women of the city made a wonderful demonstration of the desire for a Y. W. C. A. Mrs. F. O. Miller introduced Mrs. Pope as chairman of the meeting. After some appropriate remarks, chairman introduced Mrs. Huren of St. Joseph, Mo. secretary of the Blue Triangle of the Y. W. C. A., of her City. She made a great talk on behalf of the Y. W. C.

Welch, Mrs Wheeler and Miss Moore, Chairman of the employed girls' club. Our women of the city, have pledged themselves to have a real Y. W. C. A. in a short while. They say they will rent the Y. M. C. A. a place to use until they can build. Look out men. The L'Ouverture Girls Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. H. T. Geeder, were charming with their sweet fullness and gospel songs. COLORED BOY HEIR DEFEATS GUARDIANS' SUIT (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 30--Dewey Hawkins, Colored, 20 years old, who owns more than $100,000 worth of oil lands in Oklahoma, will not have to go back to Bristow, Okla, his home town, because h's fourth guardian, L. H. McEwen, wanted him to, according to a ruling yesterday by Justice Siddons in the District Supreme Court. The guardian sued out a writ of habeas corpus to obtain custody of Hawkins, who will be of age in a few months, but the latter insisted he came to Washington to join his wife and make arrangements for better protection of his interests in Oklahoma. Justice Siddons held that Hawkins could come and go when he pleased and could investigate the handling of his holdings as he chose. ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES. That it does not add one lota to the greatness of an individual to ignore the common folk? This kind of action is especially noticable in public servants. More than any other public servants, the preacher and teacher should especially be mindful of the mothers and fathers and the children of the community in which they serve. A preacher who is so loving, polite, kind and mindful only on Sunday when his members must "pay off" is not fitted for the job. Likewise, a teacher who is not an outstanding asset to the community by filling some definite and noticeable place in the community affairs thereby making the community a little better, does not really deserve the monthly compensation he gets. It these two classes of servants would properly determine the importance of the'r stations and do accordingly, this world would certainly be saved. If the preacher who is posing as a distributor of fresh messages from the Father of us all, fails to keep himself from becoming stained with the things of the world and causes the youth to lose sight and hold of the Being represented, he is an agent of the devil instead of God. On the other hand, the teacher who contends that she is adding her bit to needed contributions of the community and fails to earnestly and heartily acquiesce in community plans for symmetrically developing the boy and girl life is not only a misfit, but she is not acting in accord with the real principals for which education stands; for education is indeed the development of the serving qualities. Society demands all of our times either directly or indirectly. And, we owe ourselves and our abilities and talents to society. It is somewhat difficult, I'll admit to rightly differentiate between times we should be serving directly and when we should be indirectly co-operating: When we serve directly we are right on the job with our hearts and hands; and the indirect service is told in the effects of fireside preparation of one's posterior so that they can, later on, stand on the shoulders of their parents and reach three or four times higher than their fathers and mothers. The indirect service in society is also shown in one's just earnings of his livelihood, and also in one's rest and recreational program; for when one takes his proper amount of rest and recreation he is thus better fitted to do a greater and better work for his community.

In the presence of more than 800 of Whitita's most choice citizens at the St Paul A. M. E. Church, the work of cupid united the hearts of Mr. Jefferson Thompson ard Miss Louise Marie Vincent so the public could witness the cord of love did bird ard now beat as one. The wedding, ecliped all former wedding from many angles. All of the bride's maids wore Georgette orchid dresses, which were very attractive and becoming. They carried yellow chrysanthemums. Mrs. Staley, matron of honor, wore an opal blue taffeta dress trimmed in silver lace, and carrying pink roses. The men attending the bride's maids were Messrs F. Anderson, E. DeFrance, J. Baker and Anderson Duke. Dr. J. E. Farmer served as best man. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. Frank Vincent of Kansas City. She wore a beautiful dress of Cantilly Lace and Crepe Chiffon.

The text for the morning discourse was found in the 17th chapter of John and the 18th verse, Pastor Rev, J. W. Hayes selecting for his subject: “The Great Commission,” This great Gos pel message made us see clearly the duties and responubilities of the church as given in the great Commis. sion to the church by Jesus before Ils ascension, The world’s grealest Mis- alonary was Jesus, Who was acnt into the world by IIis Father to show us how to do Missionary Work and to give us a Missionary hfe. We as Christians are urged to speak in Christ’s stead; church of Jesus Christ is to be in the wold, but hept free from the sins of the wosld, The Great Commission that was given to the church was and Is today, to “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gos- pel to every creature.” God has giv- en every one who 1s saved a definite work to do, God saved us to help save others; and Ie is expecting us each day to do a full day’s work for Him, The Great Conmission is great because cf its extent; to utmost parts of the world; and great in its power bocause it Is the Power of God unto Salvation; great in its direction be- cause it goes beyond the grave and en unto eternity, We are urged to believe ‘in Gad for the world and wo must reach out and touch somebody else, There must be a giving up of self fully to God and a love for oth- ers to reslly be the Missionary that Jesus would have us be and to curry out “The Great Commission.” There were two additions to the church at the close of this forceful message, At 6 o'clock the Senior B.

"For I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back;" were the words of the text, selected by pastor Williams for Sunday morning's discourse; theme: "Strong Determination." It required strong determination on the part of Jephtha to keep his promise to God, when it took from him his beloved daughter; and so it is with the Christians today, it takes strong determination on our part to stand against the inducements and the things allure in this sinful world. Our salvation depends largely on our determination. Sunday School was well attended and much interest manifested in the lesson: "Christians Called To Be Missionaries." At 3 p. m., Pastor Williams baptized 5 (five) converts in the Smoky Hill River; there was a large number present to witness this sacred rite. A large and appreciative audience listened to a very impressive sermon by our pastor Sunday evening. He chose for a text Rom. 6:23; subject: "The wages of sin is death." He emphasized three kinds of death; caused by sin; first, death to the body; second, spiritual death; third, soul death. It was indeed a strong sermon full of admonition for all. A Junior Chorus consisting of over 20 (twenty) voices, was organized Sunday in our church. The pastor is anxious to put the young converts to work. Miss Geraldine Bryant was elected chorister. Thanksgiving will be observed with union services at 11 a. m., at the St. John-Baptist Church; Rev. Rooks pastor of the A. M. E. Church will deliver the sermon. Pastor Williams left Tuoaday morning for Hutchinson, where he will conduct a revival assisted by Rev. J. E. Jeltz the National Singer. A very interesting meeting was held at the church Thursday afternoon, discussing the "Necessity of Cooperation in the Development of the Christian Life of Our Children."
