Five Cents Per Copy WHAT SHOULD BE OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD THE ‘ CHURCH? First, consecrated people, willing to renger our time, our hands, our strength, our lives if necessary to the chorch and mision work, why? Be. cause by so-doing we open the doors of Christian hope to useful knowl- edge, and to longer and fuller indus try because this Is the door to peace and happy hours of service. Do you know that in America among the nearly twelve millions of cour race there are hundreds who would not find this doorswere it not for the church. Qar gifts show them the way, the truth and the life, ‘Tho pur purpese must be to ex- tend the Gospel of Christ in its full- ness and His service in all its impl- cations in the United States of Amer- za. The Church was born among the people, The Social life of the oom- munity should be enohanted. In rural neighborhoods — where churches are already established we must endeavor to make them effective in spiritual leadership by helping to overcome their ills and weaknesses— help them in all ways possible, help to show by your teachings, “I have blotted out as a thick cloud thy trans- gressions, and as @ cloud thy sins; return unto me for I have redeemet thee;” this we find in Isaiah 44:22, and is a splendid missionary text—Aa Christ died for our sins, can we not do a little for the sins of our fellow- men Did nog God create man in His own Iikeness? (Gen. 5:1.) My friend are you a rejector of Christ? Wonder the end, Today we may find mercy and pardon thru the precious blood of Christ; He only, knows our tomorrow, “In such an hour as ye think not the Son of Mon cometh.” We must educate ourselves by read- ing the Bible, by bringing the best literature into our homes, educate our children that they may rise up to call us blessed. Rear the young that they may reach ott for more traths—be- come buds of promise, cheerful work- ers and Jewel Bands. Sometimes our spportionments are heavy but “Take my yoke upon you” the burden will be lighter. Now we listen and we hear a still small voice, which.we know to be our Dictator:—Go forth into the field; the harvest is ready, may we have labor- ers? May our attitude be that of Christians, whose endeavor js to help to bring old and young to the blessed Saviour and place all on a common footing? Let us link our lessons with the sto- ry of Christ's love, become devoted to our wsrk, bring good cheer into our rpectings and search the Scriptures. This is our job and with all fair. ness may we take it up—and again and again do we emphasize that cour- age and strength will be given to us and our ways will be His ways and our paths be paths of peace. * To the church—Did you know we had a Missionary Society? Not 1 waste of time but a place where we shall “bring forth our strong reasor and make eich meeting a pro and con A place where we shall seek and find ond we shall betp to clothe, to educate and Christ'anize wherever our lot may be cast—whether local mission. aries or ac.ong the heathens in for. elgn lands, "— For “They must up. ward still and onward, who woul Keep abreast of truth. ” Mrs. Nettie Porter. THE CALL OF . THE WEST (Tre Lincoin News wervices SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec, 7 It fs betieved that on account of the recent decisions upho'ding efforts to curtail the Jand rights of Japanese and other aliens in California and Washington, colored farmers from the South will be attracted by the ex- ceptional agricultural opportunities offered In these two states. An Address Delivered by DR, 3. H. GARNETT Dean of The Central Baptist Theolog- Ical Seminary, at one of the meetings during the American | educational week at the Kan- | sas Industrial and Educa- tional Institute, Topeka, Kansas. |) ‘SONA! Shstitute, SOpena, Aansas. Tam asked to discuss moral educa- tion m contradistinction to other phrases of education already discuss- ed. Thin'{n not easy to do, The word or term moral comes from the Latin root Mos, Maris, which means rranner custom, habit, way of life, conduct. It pertains to a maa sense of what {s right and proper, or virtue and vice, Morality involves personal responsibility, accountab'li- ty for conduct, our behaviour, We are responsible for the kind of educa- tion which we accept and we are ree sponsible if we ncglect our educat‘on. Responsibility implies accountabihty, which means that we must give an account of our conduct. A brief resume of what has gone before, Dean Drewery tella us that train- Ing is not necessarily education, that real education must come from within and fits one to adjust himself to en- vironment of the community In which he lives, Much depends upon that environment, Miss Jones called our attention to the value of physical culture and ad- vantages of the lack of it. As did Mr, Woodard of Washburn, Mr. Wood- ard pointed out that before the Word's War Germany led in athletics We cail attention tc the fact that notw.thstanding her athletic expert- ness, Germany lost the war which event shows that there are other things which must be taken into ac- count besides athletic. I hope that no one will get the idea however that I am opposed to physical education, for Tam not. But don’t think that phys. ical education should constitute the Summum Bonum of life. Moreover, I think that the kind of physical edu- cation given, should be subject to the sifting process and selected the sang as other subjects. I would be willing to accept Miss Wood’s suggestion in her discussion on extrascurricula activites, if foot- ball, base-ball, basket-ball, drilling and calisthenics should be allowed to constitute the extra curricula activi- ties in this school. But there are certain extra curric- ula activites to which J am unaltera- bly opposed. These are dancing in any form, card playing, swearing and smoking. May I say In passing that any boy in school who gets the hab.t of cigaret smoking will never amount to a hill of beans, Dr. Jones called our attention to the fact that good health was essen- tial to longevity and the value of fresh air and good water for ins de and out side, Miss Ford discussed the value of music as a fine att, and the impor- tance of the cultivation of a gyod voice. Major Burke discussed the value of Industrial education and its function In our diversified preparation for hfe. Mr, Terrell spoke on the value of business education and emphasized the importance of Negro business en- terprises. Dr. Young spoke to you wisely and eloquently on religious education. Now, I am to speak to you briefly on moral education. May I remark that we may be moral without be'ng religious, but cannot be religious without being moral, Moral educa. tion implies obl:gation, and obligation implies duty or oughtness of things. Moral education means the formation of character, and character fs built up from habits; and habits are but the eecumulations always traved along lines of least resistance, The things which we do most are the things which we like best to do, | Now, if we always like best to dc the best things, our inclinations migh' be trusted. But that is not the case therefore, our inclinations, or pro: pensitives must be directed. And this directing for the most part, is the work of the teacher, Here we’comt squarely up to cne of our most im portant problems, the formation o: the habits or character of the youth We don’t quite agree with Mr, Lober PIONEERING. OLDER BOYS’ CONFERENCE, ELECT COLORED TREASURER. Our Boys have returned from the Conference very jubilant, but also very conscious of the responsibility that fs theirs. James Taylor, one of our own boys was nominated for the Presidency of the Conference, and elected as treasurer by a large ma- Jority. His election was due to the in pression made, in his response to the address of welcome, delivered by the Chancellor of the State Universi- ty. Come To The Echoe Meeting Sunday A meeting for men and boys will be held Sunday, where the boys and Rev: Hayes will give echoes from the Con- ference. Mosley In his conclusions regarding the teacher. What he said was idealistic rather than realistic. The credit he gave the teacher for being the most Impor- tant person in the community ought to be 80, but it is not always true. Too often, in these days the teach- er's Influence is more baleful! than helpful to the community. Asa rule, in almost every community, in these days the teachers are very exclusive and spend their time in selfish pass- times; many of them are never seen at church nor Sunday School, nor do they in any other way help in the general uplift of the community. The habits which the child forms will depend almost wholly upon the point of view which the teacher takes of life, as to whether those who come under his or her tuition shall fit best Into the fabric of society, and not only inspire faith and hope in indi- viduel hfe, but, enthvse communities to higher and better things; who will not only strengthen and uplift indi- viduals, but.send them forth to bulid a new and better social world. The supreme worth of a man whatever is his race, is the service he renders man, and in rendering service to man, he renders it to God. Hence the greatest concern in humane society must be the production of men who can take their place in our human world and help carry on its work in the best ways possible. When a person decides upon a course of action, he not only chooses this one articular thing, but he chooses what particular tendencies he will set a going in nis Ife and for all time to come. He not only decides what manner of man he shall be for the time being, but he establishes ten- densies which will help to determine what manner of man he will always be. Habits are powerful. They are more than second nature. They are <qually powerful whichever way they pull, If they pull with us, for our highest good who or what can suc- cessfully stand against us? But if they pull egainst us, where in all the earth can we gain reinforcement, and strength enough to help win the bat- tle against them Here the stand. ard is set for us all. It is impera- tive threefore thet we should cultt- vate the right habits, for our habite const'tute our moral education, It in not what ges fn but it is what comes out that defiles a man, According to Holy Writ, “As a man thinkest so Is he.” Real education fs from the heart As a@ race, we occupy a some-what different situat‘on to the white people in matters educational. That race has had 1000 years of training whl we have had but three short decades In view of these facts we, as teach- ers are but foundation layers, stand ard setters, and traditional builders We should therefore be willing t make some sacrifice in oug conduc for the benefit of posterity, Aa a race wo are quick to catch the white inan’s vices, but slow ti copy his virtues. AJl depends upor the standards we set and the founds, tions we ley. To beHeve in the imperishability good character, and in the immortall ty of virtues, cannot fail to be an in spiration to him who fs fighting th battle of righteousness both in bi own life and in the life of society. CALVARY PASTOR CHURCH TO HAVE ANNIVERSARY The Third Sunday in this month marks the second year of the present administration and the development and progress have been so signal and pronounced, (yet many are unware) that the officers have decided to cele- brate this day with the public dis- closure of the progress and present condition of the church as the object of the occasion, Altho the pastor has been so mod- est and unselfish as to demafd that the progressive condition of the church be given pre-eminence, the officers re- minded him that the ideas of an an- niversary as many see It is to review the work and replenish the pastor, Aside from a special sermon for the oceasion by Rev. W. H. Young of Topeka. A representative from each auxiliary under the present adminis- tration: S, S., John Yancy; B. Y. P.

Calvary Baptist Notes Sunday School at 9:30 each Sunday morning, ‘The teachers and pupils are making preparation for asplendid Xmas Pro- gram on Dee. 17th. The young ladies and young men’s classes are giving \an entertainment. A splendid pro- giam will be rendered in keeping with Xmas Season, Let us help make this entértainment a success. Mrs J. W. Hayes, Supt, with her staff of efficient teachers, is bringing things to pass and putting over a program for (hrist. That means much in reaching out and touching the young people of our church and community. After listening to such an interesting lesson, we gathered in the auditorium for 11 o'clock services, iz The Scripture Lesson, Acts 2:1-18, was read by Rev. Mcliveen, after- which Rev, Hayes chose for his text: Acts 2:4; subject: “The outpouring of the Spirit” This great message will long be remembered by the congrega- tion, who sat attentively all thru the sermon. This great outpouring of the Spirit came on the Day of Pentecost. The disciples were assembled in a de- finite peace to mest God and us n re- sult they were all filied with the Holy Ghost, They were all of one accord and had one objective and that was inducement of Holy Spirit upon the Church, The greatest need of the Church today Is a real Pentecost. The Church should be of one mind and that mind the yind of Christ. The Church is urged to be of one mind and to be filled with the Holy Spirit and this is done the result is taking the world for Christ. One of the out- standing features of this great ser- mon is: The Church in the world; the Spirit in the Church, and the Church in the Spirit. There is a place in the world for the Church, but no place in the Church for the world and worldly things. The power of the Church is the power of God, The Church cannot ntove without power. There shoul: be a fullness of love in the Church of today, There should be a fullness of joy, When there is a fullness of love there Is no room for other things. We felt the Spirit and the power all thru this sermon. At the close of the mes. sage, four came forward and united with the Church. At 6 o'clock, the Junior and Senior B. Y, P, U. assembled in their depart, ments. Interest if growing each Sun. day evening in the B. ¥. P, U.

Dee, 7—Although the southern prees $s emphatic In al- leging that there 1s a heavy moves ment southward of Negro mizrants who dread the severe cold and snow of the northern states, colored rail- road workece and alhers, who are in & position to mahe close observations of travelers, declare that there are far rrore of their brethren still buy- ing tickets to northern cities than there are “prodigals” returning to the “land of cotton,” —— Gis The Resposibility and Opportunity of the In- termediate Teacher. BY MISS GENEVA MERCOMES, Newton, Kansas, | (Continued from fast issue) To go more deeply into the religi- ous nature of the intermediate pupil, It is important to know that this period ie a religious crisis. This is also the period of the greatest leak- age in the Sunday School. Those who come to this age unconverted are harder to win than before, for many reasons. Habits are beginning to gain mastery over the body. They are harder to break down and over- come. Temptatiors and sin are more alluring since the body Is subject to adult passions and powers, The fact that they are self consciovis makes a pubbe confession more difficult to make, The teacher can seek oppore tunities for private counsel and prayer with the unsaved members of the class. Salvation should be made the theme of every lesson, special pray- ers by the pastor or some other soul- winner, may be offered at suitable times and. frequent opportunities for surrendering the soul should be given to them, Another reason why conversion is d.ficult, this issthe age of doubt. Nothing is certain to the intermedi- ate pupil, he is not even sure of him- self, But, doubt is not unbelief and doubter is halfway between belief and unbelief, and may easily be led to believe. In spite of these drawbacks, conversion at this age is hopefully possible and thoroughly essential. It Ia the.teacher's greatest opportunity and his grave responsibility, To suummarize: The intermediate teacher must firat be a fully compe- tent teacher, Although the preceding etatement embod‘es this, he mutt LOVE and UNDERSTAND his pu pils. He has the opportunity of being as well as teacher, a friend, counsellor and adviser to them and this incurs the responsibilty of living in harmo- ny with God and circumspectly be fore themt | The Intermediate teacher might adapt this as a guide in his teaching —Edward Everett’s word a i— “What conaiderate person ean enter a school (particularly a Sunday Schoo!) and not reflect wth ave that it is a seminary where immortal minds are training for eternity ” Finally, any teacher may be sure of success if he followa of the Great Teacher Wh.o “gave His 1¢e for others.” 6 9 BOOM” CON- (Anvoln News Service) CLEVELAND, OHIO, Dec. 7—Al- though small pay seems to be driving white men from the pulpits into In- dustry, there a no tangible evidence that the same condition obtains among colored pulpiteers, most of whom are still busy saving souls and buying or building magnificent tem- ples of worship. ————_~—_-—— SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR, $5_10_ IS ETC.

Walsen, Colorado News. Sunday School at 0:45 with good attendance and the lesson well taught and explained.. At six in the evening we had a grand B. Y. P. U. We are pleased to note that New Hope Baptist church is slowly but surely growing and gaining ground with all the hindrances that we have and too we are sorry to say some of our members don't know any better than to work against themselves; well you might ask some of them why and they don't know that when they are doing nothing is just when they are working against themselves; because there is so much to be done. There is no discharge in this army 'till on earth our work is done. On the 24th Mrs. W. A. Matthews, Mrs. R. B. Thurman, Mrs. I. V. Butt gave a turkey dinner for our church at the church and realized a nice profit thereby being well paid for the trouble. In the evening at 7:30 we had a very fine program lined out by Mr. Pough; he gave each one on program something to do and they all did their part to the delight of all who heard Deacon R. B. Thurman read a paper, "What is Our Duties as Race Men?" which was short but to the point. A paper by Mr. W. A. Matthews on: "What Christianity means in a Community." This was indeed a fine paper He told us many good things that Christianity for which Christianity stands; if we would only let it guide us we would not find so much time to meddle into other people's affairs for this alone keeps peace. Paper by Mrs. W. A. Matthews: "A Fixed Purpose;" and I've never heard its equal; it was the finest thing perhaps. A fixed purpose is what we all should have and fixed in the right direction, in our minds and then work to that, we could accomplish something worth while and what a race we would be. Duet by Misses Vaughn and Johns; recitation by Miss Ida Vaughn; soto by Deacon Burt: "Somewhere the Sun is Shining." Monday evening we all went back to the Junior Mission program, Mr. R. B. Thurman in charge. Good program; they are going to give an apton and overall entertainment in the near future. The one having the prettiest apron gets a prize, boys in overalls the same I guess. The H. M., has changed its meeting days and will meet around at the homes until the winter is over; will meet next time with Mrs. P. H. Johnson. The meetings are each Tuesday hereafter. Mr. Carl Nevals motored to Pueblo, Sunday to see his family whom he reports doing fine and we are glad to hear. Mr. Joe Horn is on the sick list this week. Deacon Thurman was not feeling as well as usual all day Sunday and was absent from Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Deacon Vaugh was also absent because of a severe pain in his right side. We miss them when they are absent which is unusual. Mr. Henry Carter's little boy got shot in the arm last week, breaking the big bone; he was taken to the C. F. & I. hospital and had it reset; he is doing nicely. Mrs. Emma Terrell is suffering of a severe cold. All the auxiliaries in the church are getting along fine; if we can keep on as we are we will be able to get our church up next Spring. Mr. and Mrs. Foster and her sister, Mrs. B. Dow motored over to Walsen, Monday evening from Lester, on business. Mr. Lewis Massey is on the sick list; but is improving. Quite a few white people partook of our turkey dinner on the 24th at the church, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass; Mr. Snodgrass is president of the 1st National Bank. They gave $5.00 for their dinner. Several from the stores came and others said they would have, had they known about it. The plates were $1.00; we will have another soon. Rev. Bruster preached an excellent sermon after Sunday School; we then went to the White Baptist Church and baptized another candidate; we are still praying and struggling for the advancement of His cause. Mrs. W A. Matthews and Prof. Pugh united with us Sunday, Sisters Thurman and Matthew have stepped right in the harness; Sister Matthew will lead the Mission Sisters and Sister Thurman the Junior Mission; Prof. Pugh is ever ready to serve anywhere for uplift and the church is taking on new life After prayer service Rev. Campbell of Chicago, a friend of Mrs. Bruster's father and family, preached; and we were glad to have him in our midst. Quite a few visitors from Rouse were over for the baptizing; also from Lester. Mrs. P. H. Johnson says the Mission Ald shall be second to none because she means to see to it. Mr. Wortham and Mr. Kingsberry motored over from Walsenburg, Saturday and the writer was glad to see Mr. Kingsberry, Jr., having known him since he was a little boy. Mr. Bob Alexander has moved to the North end of town. Prof. Pugh reorganized the N. A. A. G. P. last Thursday evening; Mr. J. Mangram, president; I. V. Burt, vice; P. W. Vaughn, secretary; Mr. W. R. Thomas, treasurer; Mrs. I. V. Burt, assistant secretary. We hope to do a great work along this line. We see the need of it. Mr. Jessie Symes motored to Walsenburg, Tuesday morning. Mr. John Bronson has moved to 10th Street. Mr. and Mrs. John Mangram are the proud parents of a fine baby girl who arrived on the 20th. After two weeks of illness we are glad to see Mrs. Ruth Starkton up. Mr. Albert Crimes had a narrow escape for his life in the mines last wk. as a rock feel, striking him on the shoulder just missing his head; we are glad it was no worse. Mrs. Gladys Palmer celebrated with a birthday party on the 20th. Mr. O. Brown had a letter from his wife stabbing they reached Hot Springs, and are beginning their baths; we hope they will return much improved. Mrs. Jones accompanied her. Deacon Vaughn expects to go into business soon; let us have race pride and trade with him and pay him; we will not be a nation 'til we learn to be a people possessing race pride and stick together as do other nations. He will keep the best brands of canned goods, meat and lard and will do liver groceries anywhere in town. "Nothing will beat a trial but a failure." Then when you are in town, go to the King Tut Cafe for hot meals; on short notice they will give you a first class meal; they keep everything that is kept in first-class restaurants. The Home Mission meets every Monday at 10.30; Junior Mission meets at 6.00 in the evening. The Mission Ald meets on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., at the home of Mrs. I. V. Dutt. Everybody invited. Mrs. P. H. Johnson and her bunch are giving a prize entertainment on the 29th and will give away a gold ring to the one who gets the most votes and the one who gets the least votes gets a fancy hair comb. They ask that all turn out and help. Junction City, News. Perhaps the finest wedding ever in Junction City, was that of Miss Celestine Esther Evangeline Miller, (the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Miller) to M. W. A. Parker, which took place Thursday evening at 8 o'clock at the Second Baptist Church, Rev. G. T. Raimey officiating. Preceding the ceremony, Mrs. Beulah Franklin very sweetly: "I Love You Truly." Miss Clarissa Mason played Mendelssohn's Wedding March; the bride who was given in marriage by her father, was lovely in spangled lace tunic over white satin and carried a bride's bouquet of lilies. The maid of honor, Miss Marion Miller, sister of the bride wore a beautiful dress of embroidered pink silk georgette and carried a bouquet of pink roses and carnations; while the brides-maid, Miss Wilfred Brown wore a gown of pea green barasette satin and carried a bouquet of pink chrysanthemums. The bridesmaids were attended by Messrs Norris Gregory and Benjamin Singleton; Little Elizabeth Miller, sister of the bride, was ring-bearer, carrying the ring in a lily. Messrs S. J. Dunn and Hatchet acted as ushers. The church was beautifully decorated with palms and flowers. Following the ceremony a reception was had at the home of the bride's grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Nelson. Many beautiful presents were received. They will be at home to their friends Fort Riley, Kansas. Miss Mabel Brown who is attending K. S. A. C., spent the week-end as guest of Miss Lois Grimes. The ladies of the W. H. and F. M. Circle will hold their Bazaar Thursday and Friday. Sunday morning we held covenant services in which everyone seemed to feel the spirit. Sunday night we listened to a wonderful sermon from Matt. 26.66 by Rev. G. T. Ralmey.

Burnside was absent from his pulpit Sunday morning on account of being called to Abilene to help foster a revival meeting. The Union Thanksgiving Service which was held at Second Baptist Ch., on Thanksgiving morning was excellent. The pastor of the A. M. E. Ch., Rev. H. Merritt, delivered a wonderful sermon. All present were very much benefitted. A concert was given Thanksgiving evening and a very large crowd was present. The concert was enjoyed by all. Mr. and Mrs. Moses Murray are the proud parents of a baby boy born Nov. 27th. Mr. Richard Mitchell is on the sick list this week. The marriage of Miss Oleathe M. Taylor and Mr. Vernon Howard both of this city, took place Thanksgiving evening at the home of the bride's grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Mitchell. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson entertained at a Thanksgiving dinner: Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce of Hutchinson, and Mr. Beard of Washington, Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. William McAlister entertained at Thanksgiving: Rev. and Mrs. Burnside and Rev. and Mrs. Merritt. Mrs. Phillips gave a reception for the Calanthians from 2 to 5.

Church served a Thanksgiving dinner and enjoyed an excellent program. Mrs. Jerry King is on the sick list. Mr. Hyke from Holton, spent the week-end with friends over Sunday in Manhattan. Tabernacle Baptist . There was a good attendance at morning service. The spirit was truly present and as we listened to the pastor, Rev. Adair as he so beautifully pictured Christ as the Great Conqueror, taking his text from John 16:33. We were given new hope and inspiration to press on in the footsteps of this Great Conqueror. Much interest is being shown in the Mission Work which meets every Tuesday afternoon. Garden City Notes. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Our B. Y. P. U., is progressing nicely under the leadership of our worthy president, Miss Luvenia H. McPherson who has seemed to have awakened an interest in the young folk, as perhaps never before manifested. "Vengeance is Mine: The Thanksgiving Blessing" The original play by Miss L. H. McPherson, and rendered at the church Thanksgiving night under the auspices of the B. Y. P. U., was a decided success in every way. Each of the characters were at their best; a large and appreciative audience, who were loud in their praise of this great play, and the skill displayed the several dramatic personages. M. C. Berry. Chanute Notes. Mrs. A. Crith made a special trip to Ottowa, to attend the funeral of one of her friends, Mr. Richerson. Rev. B. W. Lockett of McAllister, and Rev. J. W. Perkins of Muskogee, Oklahoma, are the special guests of Rev. and Mrs. Branch. Rev. Perkins delivered a great sermon at the evening service. Mr. and Mrs. Branch were very much surprised at the arrival of their friend and nephew Willie Patterson of Texas,, on Saturday morning. The Thanksgiving dinner given by club No. 5 was a real success—Mrs. A. L. Branch, Captain. Rev. A. L. Branch and Deacon Hale motored to Humboldt, at 2 p. m., Sunday to attend the ordination of Rev. Stovall. Rev. B. W. Lockete was present and made for himself a famous record as a preacher on the ordination sermon. Rev. W. M. Smith is making good at the A. M. E.

If you want that message to go tell it to The Negro Star.. A PROTEST. TOPEKA, KANSAS, Dec. 2, 1923— In defense of the Baptists of Kansas, I speak—I am reliably informed by a very reliable party that there is a proposition before the Executive Board to sell the Old Folks' Home, located near Lawrence; I wish to enter my objection to such proposition, as being unwise and foolish to contemplate. I am of the opinion that there are enough big-hearted Baptists in Kansas to support a Home for our unfortunate men and women who could be taken care of with good management of a good man at the head. We raise enough in 12 months in different annual meetings to support a home for the poor comfortably. We certainly don't want to sell The Home but make preparation to add some more acres to what we already have. My second objection is the name of paper; had I the power I would certainly chang the name of The Negro Star to that of The Baptist Star. I shall send you on or about January something to oil the wheels of your machine; we need a good, strong paper in the State to advocate the cause of the Baptist denomination against all opposing elements that may come. With best wishes for success, I am your respectfully, T. W. Troupe. The Sunday School, B. Y. P. U.

THE pernicious practice of leading metropolitan papers in printing matter of a criminal nature where members of the colored race is involved to be deplored by all right thinking people of both races. It is a practice which must result in so inflaming the mind of the careless public to an extent that it will lead to racial disturbances having far reaching and appalling effects upon this or any other community, Concede, "That News Is News" the plea of the average editor when approach concerning the practice yet it must be admitted that such a practice in no uncertain terms led to the racial disturbance in Tulsa, an experience thru which no other American city cares to pass. A remedy must be found by the better thinking people if the community belonging to the race group. First, a wide awakening to the deplorable growth of our criminal class and a demand made to those in authority for more and better police protection Firm attitude of the colored press of Wichita against Yellow Journalism tending to inflame racial malice and hatred in either race. Denouncing of all forms of evils regardless of whom it may strike from our local pulpits and positive action of civic, social and religious organization to abate the dens and dives where dope, bootleg whiskey and profane women may be found by definite exposure to the proper authorities. Wake up those of the race and abate the ills which are steadily threatening to undermine the great success which you have been a factor in promoting in this city. Do not make the serious mistake of allowing incoming masses with criminal inclination to set a pace which cannot but lead to your lose. They have nothing to lose and you have all to lose by their actions. Remove the cause and there can be no effect. Away with the low type criminal of all races and if all other means, fail, resort to the ballot. More Police Protection, More Firm Sermons From Our Pulpits, Less Yellow Journalism from the Colored Press, Proper approach to the controlling influences of our large papers, and a closer getting together of the leaders of the race so that when they speak and demand from constituted authority the voice will have a potent ring. At no time has there been a discussion among the Negro ministers of the city relative to the constitutionality of The Week Day Religious Educational School Movement of Wichita nor to the particular merits of the proposition from a racial point of view. By a unanimous vote the members of the Wichita Ministerial League endorsed the movement and appointed Revs. R. L. Pope and B. C. Rannavalona to act in the capacity of superintendents of a proposed interdenominational school. The idea of an interdenominational school was temporary abandoned due to the fact that the ministers believed that the proposition had not been clearly presented to the Negroes of the community. However, it was agreed that each individual church should conduct a separate Week Day Religious Educational School if its membership so desired and that a general interdenominational school would be promoted by the ministers next year. In the Religious Educational Movement racial prejudice and small stuff cannot get a foot hold due to the very fact that the matter is entirely in charge of the respective church officials and congregations of the city both colored and white. Members of the Wichita Ministerial League are far above making a baseless charge to the end that those promoting the Week Day Religious Educational Movement belong in a class of Law Violators equal the ordinary crooks of this city. Rather the entire movement has had their full endorsement. With the apparent rapid decline in the general moral standard of this age and growing destructive tendencies of individuals and groups of so-called leading influences to attack without thought and battle to undermine without warning it is time that a more definite understanding of the principles of TRUTH, LOVE and the essence of BROTHERLY LOVE be inculcated in the minds of the children of the age so that there may be some hope of an improved leadership and following with. ```markdown ``` in the next decade with minds based upon something higher than the leads of an inventive imagination gone astray, or the small stuff and gutter practices of the age and if it is unconstitutional to lead the minds of growing children from such low stuff the TIME IS FULLY RIPE FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE FEDERAL AND STATE CONSTITUTION. Legal phases of the Week Day Religious Educational Movement have had ample consideration by some of the leading legal lights of the city and full endorsement of every agency in Wichita, devoted to the promotion of the SPIRIT and PROGRAM of JESUS CHRIST. Wichita, Kansas, Dec. 3rd, To The Negro Star: The message went forth this 2:30 p.m. by Elder Mason. A wonderful, soul stirring message; many being healed of various diseases, coming to meeting leaving their crutches and walking back to their home. The Lord Revealed mysteries through the spirit of hell esse, singing in the Holy Ghost'. The power of God rebuking sun in Jesus' Name. The wisdom of God working wonders in the earth the end of the age is at hand, I epent all of ye double and high minded and look to Jesus, because, behold He cometh like lightning and there will be no chance to pray. My people awake for the judgment and the wrath of God is coming upon the wisdom of man. These I write in the strength of the Lord. My people are lost for the lack of knowledge- Now I give up in Jesus' name is my prayer.-S. LEE SMITH. s RESOLUTION: Whereas, the Great and Supreme Ruler of the universe has in His infinite wisdom removed from among us, one of our most worthy and esteemed fellow laborers in the person of Sister H. H. Adkins, and, whereas, the loon, an intimate relation with her in the faithful discharge of her duties in this Society makes it eminently befitting that we record our appreciation of her. Therefore, Resolved that the wisdom and ability which she has exercised in the aid of our organization by service, contributions and counsel will be held in grateful remembrance; Resolved. That the sudden removal of such a life from our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all of the members and friends of this organization and will prove a serious loss to the community and the public. Resolved. That with deep sympathy with the bereaved relatives of the deceased, we express hope that even so great a loss to us all may be over-ruled for good by Him Who doth all things well. Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of this organization a copy sent to the bereaved family and a copy sent to The Negro Star. Lades' Ald Society of St. John B. C.

Senator Reed of Missouri Flays Men In Pillow Slips Invading Liberty of Religion And Constitution. (Preston News Service) KANSAS CITY, KANS. Dec. 5—In an address before the Kansas Bar Association Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, characterized the Ku Klux Klan activities as an invasion of religious liberty in the United States and in defiance to the American constitution "The business of parading in pillow slips is the most un-American thing which has befallen the nation in the last century. We are permitting religious liberty to be invaded," he said, "One of the trees planted on this land by our forefathers was that of religious liberty. They were of every race and creed. They knew men were not to be unconverted at the point of the sword, and the fagots were not logic. The foundation of liberty is the freedom of the individual," he asserted CIVIC CLUB NOW AT WORK The Community feels the power of Civic Club now at work with Mr. M. S.

Dec. 7-Under the caption "The Northern Negro and Southern White-Mental Equals," an interesting writer, in the November issue of Pearson's Magazine, says: "The United States Army alpha and beta tests of 1918 show Negroes of New York State receiving, on an average, better grades than whites of any state South of Mason-Dixon line, with the exception of Texas, Oklahoma and Florida," and "From Illinois there were entered some 1 500 Negro troops in the alpha and beta tests, with the result that 55 6 per cent received the grade of C or higher. This is a higher percentage than was attained by the white entries of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, or Tennessee." The writer also makes a comparative analysis of the Indiana and Ohio tests and shows the mental superiority of the Negroes in there states to the whites in certain southern states and concludes with the significant statement: "The unselected representatives of the one million Negroes of the North were able to demonstrate to the world, through the army intelligence tests of 1918, that they were capable of competing on a scale of intellectual equality with the twelve or fifteen millions of southern whites;" and he "wonders of the reactions which might were the remaining nine millions of American Negroes to be given the same environmental conditions as their brethren in the North." St. Paul Notes. There was a good attendance at the 11 a.m. services, Presiding Elder J. W. Williams delivered the sermon from St. John 6th chapter 68th verse: "Simon Peter asked Jesus to whom shall we go" We need some one to whom we can go to lift us above circumstances reach down and lift us up when we are rad, and cleansse from sin. There were five who came forward and united with the church. Communion services were held in the afternoon, Rev. Rayford of Grant Memorial preached an able sermon.

That criticism rightly made is in- tended to help; but when one is criticised without due deference to his mental ability or without knowledge of his intention, it is a harmful criticism. The ability to criticise rightly is one of the greatest gifts obtainable. He who judges rightly is mentally secure. That the article on the responsibility and opportunity of the intermediate teacher by Miss Geneva Mercomes of Newton, Kans., is of inestimable value to the thinking and progressive teacher? It will pay everyone, who hopes to aid in the development of this present generation of youths to read and follow those illuminating ideas that draw so nigh unto real precepts. Our Genevas are very few and far between. That we yet find occasionally members of our group who insist on scraping and bowing? It is a proven and settled fact that the thinking white man of today does not demand that kind of recognition and hypocritical honors. A man requires you to look him in the eye and express your thoughts to him in a manly manner. A coward and a ferocious animal are ashamed to eye a man. This matter of "looking him straight in the eye" is some what difficult; but in proportion as one accomplishes in self-control and straight forwardness he can do it with little or no strain. They say that an immodest woman does a better job of "looking him right in the eye" than most men. "We are gratified to learn of the interest exhibited in this column.

Gary from the text Jno. 15:4; subject: "Evidence of Christians." It was indeed a wonderful message, delivered with the power of the Holy Spirit. Our hearts burned within us while he delivered God's word. At 6:30 p. m., we assembled in the B. Y. P. U., Session opened by Mr. Wm. Douglass; the Union was largely attended.
