Reporte of intimidation of 300 Negro families to be prepared to 1eturn South on a spe- cial Illinois Central train proved to be a Sliver, it ls eald that when train time arrived only a very small number of Negtoes appeared at the station to return Fouth. Rumors of threata of violence said to have been made by whites against the Negroes were widcly circulsted a few days ago. It is thought that repre- sentative of Southern Cotten Crow. ers’ associations had staricd these rumors in an cffort to get the Ne. Brees to return South.

As President Coolidge ably said, in substance: local conditions largely govern the solution of local interra- cial problems. However, so zealous are some of the explorers of racial sentiments to supplant a fact with a theory that local custorrs do not have ‘an opportunity to assert themselves Our ideals say that all men are equal, and, yet, the truth is that they are not always treated upon the basis of equality, There are communities, though, where such is the case, and where it is thus, ‘tis a tragedy that re formers bring to such free soil thé customs and traditions of subordina- tion and inequality. Let local customs govern the prac- tives of leadcrs in these territories, and Ict not free soil become the fers tile ground for the sewing of seeds of racial differences, lest they grow so large that we cannot remove them, What comparison gan there be be- tween a few jobs and a few dollars and positive freedom from customs which wo criticise In the Southland, | Thaddeus Stevens, abo itionist of Pennsylvania, said that he believed “in the equality of all men before God, their Creator."

He emphasized repentance as being essential to receiving pardon for our sins. Repentance is very essential in both the spiritual and secular world with God and with man. When we have sinned against either, our duty is to acknowledge and repent if we would have peace with God. This was a strong, practical seruon; applicable to every day life. "What a Word is This?" Luke 4:30 I were the words of the text selected by the pastor for the evening services. He discussed Christ as the Word, putting emphasis on the power of the word.

Official Organ of Kansas Baptist Convention and Auxiliaries. 1924 with all its prospective blessings for the race swept out of the hidden beyond into actuality with the mighty rush of promise for the greater glories and successes of the race which are daily inspired by right of faithful racial leaders, editors, educators, professional and business men, together with a loyal array of ministers refusing to be led astray by radical trends of the non... thinking forces which in spite of all modern progress still linger in the rail of the race as it steadily moves forward led by common—sense and religious inclinations along practical lines which eventually must make for the supreme triumph of the whole race. All indications point towards a high year in the industrial, business, professional, educational and religious spheres of racial activity. The year will have in store accumulated blessings for the race just in proportion as the masses are able to catch visions of racial success thru a determined application of the principles of Jesus Christ in solving both individual and collective problems. There must be a firm determination exhibited by LOCALS Madam Lulu Robinson Jones, who during her stay in the city was the guest of Mrs. P. M Bell, left Saturday for California.

In other words more and more must the race be thinking for itself carefully weighing every atom and lota of advanced propaganda before launching out pro or con on propositions tending to disturb racial progress. The policy of The Negro Star for 1924 will be to advance no project for racial consideration which has not had prayerful thought. Refusing to stand in the way of racial progress and catering to no racial opposition; Determined to sway the minds of all men towards Jesus Christ; Delighting in the least success of men and women of the race and pledged to engage in no battles which may not be won without insinuating attacks. Standing ready to present proof for its every assertion to which an acid test may be applied.

SIMS' RECORDS The Sunday School, B. Y. P. U. Missionary Society, Church and Lodge stand in need of one. Order today. 1241 Wabash Avenue, UNWELCOME GUEST OF WICHITA The right thinking persons of both races can't see the need of "The Birth of A Nation," since it makes you look backward at the worse that is in a man instead of forward to the best that is in a man. There is no end to the blessing in the future; if both races simply knew. United, th's great civilization will stand, divided we must go back in the struggles of superstition and ignorance. Ignorance is what makes men hate one another and strive to get a part. There is no saving power in ignorance. It is dangerous and destructive and no certain victim has it in mind to slay. It can't concentrate on constructive principles, it only works on what is in sight. Love and Christian education are the constructive forces and will save the world, even the men who think that the degraded things will be a safeguard for his race, but they forget that no man is safe unless all men are safe. So the days for the Birth of A Nation and Uncle Tom's Cabin, are gone. So let us stand together and look forward.
