Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE KENTUCKY WOMEN WATCH MEETING SEEK GOOD WILL NIGHT Vol.15, No.35, Join Interracial Commission and Ask Justice for All. STRONG STATEMENT ISSUED. Group Includes Many Religious And Civic Leaders. LOUISVILLE, KY., Dec. 12 (Special):—Thirty Kentucky women, leaders in their respective religious and connection with the State Interracial civic groups, met here last week in Conference, organized as the woman's section of the Interracial Commission and issued a vigorous statement in the interest of justice and good will between the white and colored races The organization meetings were presided over by Mrs. Helm Bruce, of Louisville, and the permanent officers chosen were Mrs. Charles Semple Chairman, Mrs. R. K. Massie, Vice-Chairman, Miss Nannie Hite Winston Secretary. The statement issued congratulates Kentucky on its recent freedom from lynchings, condemns the injection of palms, demands a single standard of race prejudice into political camorals that will protect the integrity of both races, and declares for the protection of the life and property of all alike, and for fair division of school advantages and other public facilities. It was recommended that in every community an interracial group of women be formed for mutual understanding and co-operation, particularly in matters affecting the welfare of women and children. Following are some of the more striking paragraphs: "We declare our belief in the righteousness of a single standard of social morality for both sexes and both races. We plead for the protection of the purity of all womanhool and urge that the integrity of the Negro home shall be held inviolate by the men of both races. "We hold that no circumstances can justify the disregard of civil law and human rights involved in lynchings and other forms of mob violence. We deplore the fact that such deeds have so stigmatized our people that in non Christian countries our Christian civilization is discredited. Truly thankful for our Kentucky law against lynching and the fact that it has been upheld, we pledge ourselves to support our officials in every effort to enforce this law. "We believe it to be our imperative duty to cultivate in both races, especially among the young people at home and in school, such attitudes of good will and mutual helpfulness that bitterness, resentment and strife shall yield to a wholesome faith in our common humanity." Similar groups of women have been organized in nearly all the southern states for cooperation with state interracial committees and with the various denominational and civic bodies in the interest of better race adjustments. ELECTION OF SILVER LEAF TEMPLE In a most peaceful manner the officers of Silver Leaf Temple were elected with the Grand Master, Dr. F. O. Miller, present in full dressed regalia. The hall was fully decorated with palms. The Temple presented Grand Master Miller with a box of linen handkerchiefs which was highly appreciated The following officers were elected: Mrs. S. C. Whitney, Princess; Mrs. Minnie King, Vice Princess; Mrs. Johnnie Gates, Secretary; Mrs. Bell Perry, Treasurer; Mrs. Catherine Garrett, Mrs. Riley, Trustees; Mrs. M. Gilssard, Joshua; Mrs. Ida Deanson Chaplain Miss Pearl Martin, Assistant Secretary, Mrs. Rosa Pauline Marshal of Hall; Mrs. Callie Arnold, Inside Sentinel; Mrs. Henrietta Gist, Outside Sentinel. If you want to see an up-to-date Temple, visit us. The Foreign Mission Board projected its drive for Xmas and from what we learn it has been a real success, for which we thank God and our whole brotherhood, for many years we have left Xmas to these other Boards and Home Charities and worked to make Watch Meeting a Missionary effort. Since our Foreign Mission Board has used Xmas we are urging our pastors to remember the Morris Memorial Building, the home of our Sunday School Board, on watch meeting night... We got the $50,000, for which we strugg'd by Nov. 1, but most of it was borrowed for varolus lengths of time—I know of one case where $1000 was borrowed for 30 days. Dr. Townsend and his committee, it can be seen will suffer in meeting those borrows unless we help them So, I am asking our people everywhere to make some kind of an offering for the S. S. Publishing Board on Watch Meeting night. All can pray and many can give on that night. Let Pastors and People heed this appeal and give willingly. Come to Nashville, September 1924 and see the vory largest effort ever put over by Negroes in all the country. Allen Hutcherson Must Win.

Local Cors, Committee: Robt. Jemison G. W. Allison E. J. Hawkins, Marguerite Armstead ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES. That there's not much hopes for the advancement of a people who will not sacrifice if need be to encourage the young people? It's a pretty big job at best now-a-days to make anything of our boys and girls. So it takes all the cooperation and encouragement possible to keep the youngsters out of the course which offers the least resistance. That somebody wants to know where the III-Y Quintet is? They having been informed that the quintet is a Wichita Organization, very well understand that the boys have the same disease that causes all other organizations to dissolve; However the leader yet has faith, we hope in the ultimate establishment of a first-class male chorus in Wichita. The ultimate solution of that thing we call race problem will be shared in by both race. In proportion as the white man understands the Negro and as rapidly as he understands what the thinking class of Negroes mean to the community, then and not until then childly will reign in American society. On the other hand the Negro should know the things and conditions for which he desires and then be manly and frank about the expressing of them. After all, the real thinker is most concerned about how he says a thing; not What he says. So it is our duty that counts. THE HERALD A neat magazine published by the Southwestern Federation of Women reached our office by the kindness of Mrs. J. D. Zuber of West Point, Miss., and is now on our file. Mrs. Zuber is one of the ever faithful workers for this cause and those women in the southwest are really doing some things worth mention for the cause of humanity and should be encouraged WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Dec. 21, 1923. 1234567890 We Wish Merry And Happy THE STAR IS ON WILL BE NO PAPER K.I.E.I.CLOSES SATURDAY MORN. EIGHT A.M., FOR 10 DAY VACATION K. I. E. I., will close Saturday morning at 8 o'clock for ten days' vacation. The students and teachers who live in nearby towns will spend most of their vacation at home. For those who remain, a splendid program has been arranged at the Institute. A Christmas Program, will be given at the Institute Friday for all the students and teachers, and one on Christmas. At both of these exercises, Christmas carols will be sung and special music will be rendered. School will open January 2nd. Many of the rooms of the new dormitory are practically ready for use now and it is hoped that all new students who wish to register for next term would enter January 2nd. No student need stay away because of lack of room, as parts of the dormitory will be turned over and used before all of it is completed. The girls' dormitory and boys' trade building will be dedicated sometime during the month of February or early March, after all the teachers and students have gotten moved into the building and all the machinery is in perfect working order. The school has made great progress this year with the strongest faculty and the most earnest student body in its history. The scholarship of the students has been greatly improved this year. A mental test given to the students at the Institute shows that they are average students. Leavenworth Kansas (By Ernest F.

MISS HENDERSON AT HOME FROM SCHOOL Miss Maxine Henderson one of Leavenworth's fair clubs, and a young popular society lady is home from school for the holidays with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Henderson of Osage Street. Mrs. Henderson is the proprietress of the Perfection Pie and Cake Shop, 3rd and Shawnee Streets. Young Miss Henderson is a junior student in the Sargent School of Physical Culture at Cambridge, Mass. She arrived Monday afternoon, Dec. 10th, and readily given the glad handshake by all of her friend. young and old; who were all glad to see her. When interviewed by the writer, the young lady reported well of her school and the East and replied in these exact words to the question of how she liked school: "School is just fine and I have learned to love it." Miss Henderson is majoring in Physical Culture. She reports eight other colored girls in this all girls school at Cambridge, and there they have a fine time in their A REAL BIG HEART At one of the entrance of Fairmont Park in Philadelphia, stands a great bronze lion astride his deed cub. His mane is ruffled and in his despair he has shaken the forest with his roar but helpless in the presence of death. The sculpture called it "Death of the First Born." This king of beast like all else, is helpless when death comes. This day one year ago, I broke down sure enough. In my fight to regain health, no living man proved more of a friend and brother than Rev. L. K. Williams, D. D., president of our N. B. C. And when my mother died the following telegram was received from him: "I extend heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your mother. Would like to be there with you and would certainly come except, that I am obliged to go to Texas to fill an engagement there this week. Yours most sincerely, L. K. Williams. Nothing protrays the bigness of a leader nore than his interest in his followers. In the death of our loved one, is where we feel the most helpless. The telegram from the president with the kind expression of friends I shall never forget so long as I live. According to Miss Henderson, the East is in a prosperous condition. Everybody up and doing. She adis that there are quite a few of our girls at. attending other different schools in Cambridge. Miss Maxine is a graduate from both the Graded and High School here. This writer wishes her well. PASTOR TO ACCEPT NEW CHARGE Rev. J. A. Barnes, pastor of Sunflower Baptist Church is to accept a new charge in Emporia. Altho at this writing he has not handed in his resignation; it is most certain he will resign. Rev. Barnes came from Arkansas, about six months ago and during his pastorate at Sunflower the past five months, it may be well said that he has done some excellent work and the church and people took on a new aspect and appearance under his leadership. Good luck to him wherever he goes. DAYTONA NEWS. The City International Ushers' Union met at Shiloh Baptist Church Monday evening December 10th at 9 p.m. with President J. D. Lawrence, presiding.

All members of the Union are urged to be present at the next meeting Jan. 7, 1924, Mt. Zion A. M. E Ch St. Paul Notes. "Christian Stewardship;" was the subject of the sermon at 11 a.m. by our pastor, Rev. R. L. Pope. We are stewards for God, according as gifts received from God, we should bestow upon others. The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof. That an account must be given of the stewardship that is intrusted to our care, giving freely in love and charity to oth- Five Cents Per Copy THE PASTOR'S PLACE IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AS I SEE IT READ AT THE INSTALLATION PROGRAM AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, GREAT BEND, KANSAS, REV. W. A. WASHINGTON, PASTOR The pastor has a vital relationship to the Sunday School. He should give helpful counsel, sympathetic co-operation and have never falling patience as well as being a constant inspirational worker in the school. To have a "peppy" Sunday School the Pastor must co-operate in the work with the officers of the school. It has been said by one Dr., that "the Sunday school in the pastor a church is his Sunday School in the same sense that the pulpit of his church is his pulpit." The being true, it follows that if the pastor is what he ought to be, or what he needs be, in ability, in knowledge, in spirit and purpose, his school will be what it ought to be in plan. In organization, in scope and in methods of work. It will gradually come to all of this in course of time, even if it were not all of this when he took hold of it. The pastor of the church should be the pastor of the Sunday School. The superintendent should never question the pastor's right and position as the educational head and spiritual advisor of the Sunday School. Holding such an important place he is therefore responsible for the teaching that is done in the Sunday School. He is likewise responsible for the training of the teachers. He may not do the work of training, but he should see that it is properly done. It might be said that the pastor is the chief officer of the Sunday School in the same way that the President of the United States is the Commander-in-cief of the army. I do not mean to leave the impression that the pastor should take upon himself the duties of the superintendent, but I do mean to to say that he holds the key to the situation, therefore is largely responsible for the success of the school. The Pastor should know, how and have power to unify all the agencies of the church, co-ordinating them in such a way as to give all their proper place in order to secure the largest and best results. The pas or should acquit himself with modern up-to-date Sunday School work in all phases: local, denominational, interdenominational, national and world-wide. The pastor should be a living force in the program, not simply by courtesy of the superintendent, but by his own right. A pastor who is hostile equals a dead Sunday School. An indifferent pastor equals an inefficient Sunday School. But an officious pastor equals a chaotic Sunday School and a cooperating sympathetic pastor equals an efficient Sunday School. What is greatly needed today is that the forces which make for character shall control the forces which make for intelligence. One of the greatest forces which make for character is the Sunday School. The teacher is the factor of the Sunday School most potent in the development of character. The supreme lack in the Sunday School today is the lack of a sufficient number of thoroughly equipped teachers. The pastor is the chief teacher of the teachers and train r of the trainers. The chief train-r of the pastor is the Theological Seminary. 418. An interesting session of the S. S., was held. Mrs. P. M. Bell, teacher of the girls' intermediate class, has carried off the honors as banner class for the past two successive Sundays. The Xmas exercises and tree for the S.

Williams, Pastor Splendid services, with good attendance at our church Sunday. "Be Thou faithful unto death, and I will give the a crown of life." These were the words of the text selected by Pastor Williams for Sunday morning discourse." Theme: "Faithfulness." Our pastor was enabled by the Holy Spirit to give us a burning message; emphasizing the importance of being faithful unto death. There is nothing in the world that we can point to with pride, that has not cost faithfulness; so it is just as essential in the religious world, if we rope to receive the crown of life. A very impressive sermon, full of strong wholesome facts. Supt. II. Browner was at his post in the Sunday School and a very interesting lesson was taught. The Sunday School is busy preparing their Christmas Program. At 3 p.m., Sunday special services were conducted so very nicely under auspices of the Tennessee Club.

The Spirit of the Lord characterized the services throughout the day. We plan having a sunrise service Christmas morning at our church and anticipate a glorious time. There was much interest in the announcement that Miss Bessie Green daughter of Mt. and Mrs. O. T. Green was secretly married Aug 14th, to Rev. O. H. Burbridge a former pastor of the A. M. E.

Church was of no small note. There were fifty-one children at the afternoon services Pastor Branch and a number of children witnessed the occasion. There were 18 adults present; he spoke from the book of Acts; subject: "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth." He impressed the kiddies to know that God was their Creator and to know that now is the time whilst responsibilities are few, to re-while responsibilities are few to re- Services at the Baptist Church proved a success; Rev.

Campbell and Rev. S. Woodards on invitation, and reports a very pleasant stay; he preached us a touching sermon; subject: "Grace." Our souls were fed spiritually. We still remember. The B. Y. P. U., had a splendid program put on by Old Reliable Group in form of a rally for our Publishing House; president, E. A. Wilson is leading the B. Y. P. U., with credit. PROGRAM: Singing by Juniors; Object of rally, E. A. Wilson; Trombone Solo, Mr. J. B. Lamb; Growth of the Union, Joseph Alexander; Missionary Aspect of the B. Y. P. U, W, A. Webster; Solo, Miss Della Burns; History of B. Y. P. U., by Bro, J. Burns; Reading, Leah Wilson. At night the pastor preached from the subject; "Ask The Lord What He Would Have You Do." We learned that He would have us to lay aside these little weights, love one another, treat our neighbor as ourselves and n any other things that we were guilty of doing that our hearts bore witness in loud Amens. We believe from this good and truthful sermon many of us have laid off those little hindrances and asked the Lord what He would have us do and then obey. Sunday, Dec. 2, was our covenant. We had a real sipiritual feast, we felt that great Love of God running from heart to heart as each one talked of this wonderful love. The old time way is good enough for me—Rejoicing in the God of my salvation; although it may be called "fogy" we need more of it; it takes the world for Christ. At 3 o'clock the funeral of Deacon Sanders with great honors as one of the oldest deacons and one of the founders of the church; age 84 years. He was faithful to the end; he was at church on Sunday and passed away the next Sunday. Those who shook his hand did not know that it was good-bye. The deacons had charge of the program; Bro. Neal Master of ceremonies. The old soldiers paid their last respect and Pastor Jackson preached him to rest. The Lord's Supper was administered at night; the cholf sang sweetly and came down to commune with us. —PROGRAM— OF THANKSGIVING DAY Song and Prayer Service in thankfulness to God; Scripture Lesson included; Song: "Think of His Goodness To You" Mr. and Mrs. Hickman, all joined in the chorus, History of THANKSGIVING DAY. In the United States, the Fourth (or last) Thursday in November, annually set apart for Thanksgiving Day by proclamation of the President and Governors of the various states. The day is observed with religious services in the churches and especially in New England, as an occasion for family re-union. The Pilgrims set apart a day for thanksgiving at Plymouth immediately after their first harvest CHEROKEE COAL There is no doubt about it--you get the most heat for your money when you buy CHEROKEE Nut - $ 9.00 Lump - 10.50 if you are looking for heat with least trouble, buy PEACOCK Lump - $13.00 Nut - - 12.00 in 1621; the Massachusetts Bay Colony for the first time in 1630, and frequently thereafter until about 1680 when it became an annual festival in that colony; and Connecticut as early as 1639 and annually after 1647, except in 1675. The officials in New Netherland appointed a day for giving thanks in 1644 and occasionally thereafter. During the War of Independence the Continental Congress appointed one or more Thanksgiving Days each year, except in 1777; each time recommended to the executives of the various states the observance of these days in their states President Washington appointed a day of Thanksgiving. (Thursday, the 26th of November) in 1795. President Madison, in response to resolutions of Congress set apart a day of Thanksgiving at the close of the year of 1812. He was annually appointed by the Governor of New York from 1817. In some of the southern states there was opposition to the observance of such a day on the ground that it was a relic of Puritanic Bigotry, but by 1858 Proclamations appointing a day of Thanksgiving was issued by the Governors of twenty-five states and two territories. President Lincoln appointed the fourth Thursday in November 1864, and since that time each President has annually followed his example. Thanksgiving Day is a day set apart to thank God for His goodness and mercies shown us in the past year, and the many blessings we are continuing to witness. We as Christians are to be thankful to God for bringing us out of the miles of sin we are to be thankful for the beautiful temules in which we can meet in a Christian family re-unian. And again we should be thankful that in finding Christ, we have found a friend and brother Who has proven to us that He was not a failure. —By Bro. Jno. B. Burna.

Teach them from infancy up that their hands are a mighty power for good when kept open, but a mighty terror when made into a fist to strike his brother. We should fight but never any human. We think now of the sorrow made around Drew, Mississippi from clinched fists and determined spirit of the whites and the resistful spirit of Joe Pullen, who stood his ground like the Spartans. Some rejoice in this act, and it is right for men to protect themselves, but we are along way from God if we don't protect one another. Ohl if we were fighting to get together instead of fighting to get apart, how quickly would the 'Kingdom come on earth, as it is in heaven.' S THE lynching of A. W. Birch, white wealthy hotel owner, and Robert Jernigan his colored employee in Marlow, Okla., last Monday evening but emphases the fact that there must be an understanding between the better thinking members of both races in America if this country is to remain in possession of that national peace which has made it a haven for all who seek liberty and the accompanying features which are presumed to be the heiritage of American Citizenship. In fact any community that will tolerate an exhibition of such signs as were erected in Marlow ought to be outlawed and declared without the bounds of Civilized Society. There must be a full awakening of National Conscience thrucut the entire country which demand the rapid application of the stern hand of relentless Justice in all cases involving those who participate in Lynching Bees if not then it is not far over-reaching to immagining a day when disaster must sweep over the country as a result of tolerated unlawfulness. By a stretch of imagination one can see the human mind so stirred by brutal outrages as to be impelled towards unlawful retaliations resulting in lynching the most hellish mode employed by a people claiming to be civilized against offenders; one may even picture reasonable grounds for the disgusting practices of naked cannibals far removed from the realm of present day progressive developments but to imagining a community in AMERICA 'THE LAND OF THE FREE and HOME OF THE BRAVE', in which a man is lynched merely because he moved into a community to do economic battle for his daily bread is incorceivable. It is to hoped that while the white race strives to arrive at a better understanding of the Negro with his aims and aspirations that It will also strive to arrive at some definite remedy which will forever brand a community filled with the spirit of racial prejudice and murder which made possible the Maillow affair. CHRISTMAS With Its Joyful Heralding of The Savior Birth is here once again to greet a world torn by racial pride and hatred, social and economic dissention and distrust, national and international disturbances which would make dark the path of the mighty Savior King. As the evening stars steal over the distant horizon and the silvery ray of their twinkling beams play upon the frost bedecked bosom of Mother Earth all is hushed while Man, the master piece of Divine Workmanship ponders over the promises of a world rebuffed in which the human race shall play upon golden harps of worldwide concord the mellowed peanuts of Universal Brotherhood in which all malice, distrust and jealous prejudice are to be overcome by the loving influence of The liabe of Bethlehem Down in the valley of dark oppression struggle races of human kin deep mired in mud of ignorance and slim of savage superstitution; At the base of higher ideas and ideals, a mountain of snow-topped opportunity millions of struggling men battle in the war of economic endcavor burdened with the weight of class hatred and selfish ambition. Out of the terrific noise of world babble comes the moaning groans of terrified motherhood weeping over the prospective future of growing posterity in a world darkened by racial clash and radical misunderstanding while over the snow swept fields comes the tained scent of struggling humanity sweat ladden in the heated pace for individual and collective supremacy. Off in some hidden nook imagination leads towards Nature's magnetic vault of treasures that would be man's if he would but look up and catch the hidden message of angelic voice as with softened melody it pals the way towards universal peace, happiness and good will. Yet it is CHRISTMAS DAY with a world made sad by the EVIL within the heart of man placed there by the dancing spirits of malicious thought bred of racial and individual hatred jealousy, and irreligious tendencies. It is CHRISTMAS DAY with man refusing to heed the glorified chant of heaven's divinest chorus. It is Christmas Day with aching hearts made so by MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN. Sadden minds made so by Satan's earthly imps crude hearts in unquanly beings that strike with wasp like tongues of lying deceit and dastardly cunning. It is Christmas Day with the glowing warmth of enchanting palace and cold poverty of humble hut.

EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING The first Executive Board, following the Association at Atchison, convened at Hlawatha, Kansas, Nov. 27th and 28th at Second Baptist Church Rev. E. C. Williamp, pastor. At this point the Official Staff, messengers and visitors were highly entferained and gladly received. The auxiliaries are presided over by Mrs. L. V. Halm, President of the W II. & F. M, Convention; Rev. C. B. Burton, President of the S. S. Convention; Rev. Chas. Favors, President of the B'Y. P. U. Convention; Rev. A. D; Bright; President of the Ministers and Daacons' Union. Rev. W. C. Cart wright, Moderator of Northeastern District Association. The Symposium on the "Life of Christ" conducted in each Session was instructive and inspiring, beginning with the birth of Christ and tracing Him step by step, concluding with His intercession, as follows: (a) His childhood; (b) His Maturity; (c) His death and resurrection; (d) His ascension and intercession. Mrs. Daisy Holbert of Zion, Baptist Ch., read a well prepared composition on the Maturity of Christ. Topic: "The New Deacon For The New Day," created an interest in that department of church activity, hitherto unknown. It developed that conditions have greatly changed in our churches and it takes a qualified deacon according to the Word of God (for the New Day) Acts 6:3, which reads; "Wherefore, brethren; look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business." The dance, intoxicants, movies and card playing; among other evils and vices have so bewitched both young and old until the church realizes, before Zion can travel and bring home the sons and idaughters, she must return to the knowledge and execution of God's Word. The Church as well as Nations is in a general unrest and every interest pertaining to man is involved. In this new day, days of transition, the church must produce the Deacons equal to the task from a righteous point of view. The District Missionary, Rev. J. D. Hunt is a real Missionary, rendering real service. He is preaching in the remote parts of the district—in many places where ready cash cannot be had, the people are responding with meats, fruits and vegetables. The conditions are of such that this man of God needs genuine support that he may better spread the Gospel. Dr. A. D. Ross the newly elected Missionary, delivered his first address to the District; he was cordially greeted by the entire constituency. He said in part: He did not come with any new plans but was trying to carry out the plans already inaugurated by our lamented Missionary, Dr. J. H. Van Leu to whom he paid lasting tributes. The Missionary was at his best and put his soul into the message as he pictured to us the scope of work and the systematic way in which he has his work outlined. The Budget was thoroughly explained and --- the needs of the Seminary presented in a forceful manner. The brethren were urged to attend the Summer School. Dr. Ross was full of the message and his hopes and anticipations so high that it was hard to conclude in so brief a period. The District pledged their untiring support. Rev. King from Southeastern District delivered an able sermon and was invited to return again. Moderator W. C. Cartwright is successfully leading the forces in Northeastern District to victory, being a minister forceful and fearless in the execution of Kingdom Work. Like our Ex-Moderator J. W. Hayes, he is loved by the people and has a vision of the great task to be accomplished. Mrs. Wm. Smothers, Rec. Sec., Northeastern District Association.

New Hope Baptist SUNDAY'S WORSHIP "World-Wide Missions" proved to be a great General Theme in Sunday School, December 16th. What a wonderful privilege is this, to preach the whole Gospel to the whole world. We were favored at eleven a. m. and eight p. m. to hear Rev. B. L. Marchant preach the Gospel in its purity. The sermons were uplifting and interesting. The Scripture Lesson at the evening worship was read from 1 John 4:1-12. The text and subject follow; Ezek. 1:1; "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw vision of God." "Visions of God are lon of God." "Visions of God and Man's Hope." It is encouraging to witness the activity of our young people in Christian worship and service. They realize that truly it is a joy divine to Lean Upon The Everlasting Arm. Our B. Y. P. U., is a real live organization. Come and help us.

Marchant of Chillicothe, Ohio, was extended a call to the pastorate of the New Hope Baptist Church and has accepted the call. May he be a blessing to church, community and the world.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR. GO to some church Sunday in order to be counted one with men and women who while perhaps not thinking as you do along denominational lines are yet serving to put over a world-Wide Program for Jesus Christ. Go to church Sunday because it is accord with many promises you have made thru life which are steadily bearing interest which you must meet in Time and Eternity. No man can successfully talk of discharging a duty towards his race and can prove capable of discharging duties toward a race, who is himself ever prating against the success of individuals belonging to a race. In other words he who cannot perform the ordinary duties of the Christ Life towards individuals is not a safe and proper person to be charged with the great trust of racial duties. THE wave of crime sweeping over the country is confined to no one race group composing the population of any given center, but much good would result if those who will be most hurt by massed criminal efforts would assert a great determination to overcome crime within their particular racial group by themselves resorting to less idle gossip and more individual adherence to the fundamental principles of the Religion of Jesus Christ. THE thick timbers are again ringing with the hunter's alarm as different species of party animal life break for the fields of presidential support. The lean hungry donkey, thirsty camel, heavy weighted elephant and something closely resembling the Bull Moose of other days tread the earth with swift pace while clever statesmen and thoughtful leadership holds its peace awaiting a proper time to determine the proper action and shot. AWAY with him, kill him, is the cry of a selfish rabble made mad by the upward progressive success of those who have struggled and overcoRE and urged on by the leering glare of false leadership. The world's successful races are those who select leadership on merit of ability, character, and individual success and reject leadership only on evidences that can stand the acid test of absolute Justice heard in an open forum removed from closed doors. s THE Yule Tide draws near; are we thinking of the children of our racial group and are we praying for them A MERRY CHRISTMAS? Let us see that the children have all that the term CHRISTMAS implies. Make the young hearts glad at The Philis' older Children's Home, and other children who are in need to out the city by showing them the hospitality of our warden, delightful home on CHRISTMAS DAY. We live in the hearts of those whom we make happy; hence, being dead our good works live on through the ages. s IT is now time for the Negro Voer to say but little and devote time to a close reading of party records touching affairs of interests to our race, THINK, THINK, THINK and refuse to be led into hasty action by any bombis in force. In the political fields a thou sand traps are set to catch racial support a often such traps are laid not by members of the other race but by apparent intelligent leaders of The Negro Race swayed by a political appreciation of the needs of our race aroused by the price of the highest bidder for their support. HIAR EVERY LEADER and use the intelligence of a true American Citizen and that greatest right of Americanism. The right to Think and Vote in accord with the dictates of your individual mind. LESS alle talk and more work; Less complaining about present conditions and a whole race effort to better conditions; Less political leadership so-called and more applied energy to problems of industry, commerce, and religious proprotion; Less loud protesting and more determined effort to make a race great in spite of opposition; Less cryptic battling against individuals and more wholehearted prayers for the good and bad, the great and small; Less street corner leadership and more close study of the essential needs of our race and an application to high thoughts led by the Spirit of Christ to win men to a better life; less display of exaggerated wealth and more hard work tempered with honesty of purpose, sincerity of statements and proper apreciation of rights and opinions of others are things essential to the general success of the race IT is useless for leaders of the Negro Race local or national to make demands for the abolishing of Lynching and adjustment of collective racial problems when they so often incite even mob action by individual efforts to defeat those who differ with their views of selfish attitudes. All too often were the absolute truth brought forward it would be found that mob action is the result CITY ITEMS Mrs. M. Raynolds and daughter Celeste May, left for K. C. Mo, to spend the holidays.

Marchant of Chillicothe Ohio, was unanimously called to the pastorate of New Hope Baptist Ch. and has accepted the call. of damning efforts impelled in selfish attacks wrought thru the crazed brain of semi-leadership not from without but from, with the inner circles of the race. That man who attacks, Negro business merely with the malicious man who stirs and incites morbid misgiving against individual character or reputation by the power of a falsifying tongue or hell heated pen; That man who absolutely out of harmony with all things in which he stands other than the accepted dictative force; That man who would strive to lead without a close adherence to the Holy Tenets of Christianity; That man who can see no good in the man above or beneath, is the force within the race which must incitably hamper its progress. The fun of life is in hearing the killing tales of evil hatched in the cruel heart of butter foe and catch the gem of music within its pealing tone that bids one move up to higher heights of successful joy; The fun of life is in helping the world to grow EVERYTHING TO MAKE XMAS MERRY AND LIFE A BLESSING, PRIZE WINNER.
