Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol. 15, No. 37, FAIL TO RETURN BY WHOLESALE AS CLAIMED BY THE SOUTHERN EDI TORS: CANCEL SPECIAL TRAIN (Preston News Service) CHICAGO, ILL. Dec. 20. Reports of intimidation of 300 Negro families to be prepared to return South on a special Illinois Central train proved to be a fliver. It is said that when train time arrived only a very small number of Negroes appeared at the station to return South. Rumors of threats of violence said to have been made by whites against the Negroes were widely circulated a few days ago. It is thought that representative of Southern Cotton Growers' associations had started these rumors in an effort to get the Negroes to return South. In fact, a group of Negroes are said to have threatened the southerner with violence if he did not desist stirring up discontent among Negroes in the community. He was told that his wild reports about-500 Negro families going back South with him on the special was all bosh. According to officials of the Illinois Central railroad only thirty families returned South. Repots were circulated that northern whites were going along them that as soon as they got on the train the doors of the coaches would be locked and not opened until the train reached its destination and also that there was a guard in each coach armed with a gun and a black snake whip. It seemed that the southern and northern whites made a strong play the ignorance and fears of the Negroes. One young Negro said, "Them folks are simply going down South for the winter, they'll be back next spring. That's a great stunt, acting like rich folks—living where it is summer all the time."

PAUL LED IN XMAS PROGRAM It is a known fact that St. Paul led the city churches in the program rendered by the choir just before day Christmas morning. It was wonderful in its rendition from every point of high classical art. Every voice was heard and showed signs of much work. Those of whom the city had declared could not sing, sang that morning. The prophet, Bro S. W. Jones was at his best and he did some really looking like a prophet and prophesying. It was musicale in three acts:"The Light of the Ages," the first act; "The Star of Bethlehem," the second; and "The Holy Family", the third act. It ended with "Joy to the World." Mrs Thos.

And beginning the New Year each one should be filled with new courage, new joy and new hope; and resolved to give God full time in service and make personal efforts to save others.

LABOR'S TRIUMPH (Preston News Service) Despite sporadic unemployment here and there, Negro labor has apparently become a solidified certainty in Northern industry, and can thus face the winter's snows and cold with a fair degree of quanimnity. In the language of persons of time, this type of labor may be said to be resting comfortably at noonday. The dawn of the advent of Negro labor into an important element of America's production passed when the first appreciable group of Negro workers advanced to a skilled status in employment. The morning period, full of doubts, fears and misunderstandings, when the question-mark of "opportunity without stabilized recognition" hung over the heads of Negro laborers, who, by ten thousand, passed through the employment gates, has finally yielded to an opinion which admits, in fact affirms that Negro labor has made good. Northern employers, slow to make a permanent institution of the zealous, strong, intelligent colored men who, at the call of demand, rapidly grew into an efficient supply of ardent labor anxious to produce goods American goods—have placed the wreath of "Well Done" upon the brow of these dusky workmen the experiment is over. The product is finished. The Negro craftsman is a reality. He is a part of American industry. He is a spoke in the wheel of American industry. He must not pass back to days to possibilities. Organization claims to have sued him a card of welcome, and his uncular form must be unquivocally accepted into every occupation in American industry. "That's the key to" "One hundred Percent Americanism," and all American industrial institutions will recognize the key. Negro labor has been an unjust success. Pioneer Blazing Trail The Club met at Water Street Y. M. C. A. There were 10 boys present. The meeting for this week will be put off until next week on the account of so many boys being absence. We were entertained with music tonight. Next week, we are going to p'an a day to make visits to different firms. Gilbert Payne, Reporter. Walsen, Colorado News. Sunday was a glorious day at New Hope Baptist Church. S. S. at 9:45; well taught and explained and good attendance. Our teacher. Mr. W. R. Thomas is the right man in the right place in the Sunday School room. Prayer services 30 minutes, the pastor chose for his subject: "True Religion;" a wonderful sermon was preached. He opened the door of the church, 2 came to unite with the church. At 6:00, the B. Y. P. U. had a great lesson. Our young teacher, Miss Lena Vaughn is doing fine. The pastor took for his subject, Dan, 5th chapter and told us to look for the verse, which was the 5th verse. Our hearts were made to rejoice again through the truth as it is in Christ Jesus. We were blessed all day spiritually and financially our collection for the day was $65.00 and We had a great mission meeting Monday morning, Mrs. W. A, Matthews is a fine president. Mr. Matthews knew what he was doing when he went to Pueblo. Mrs. R. B. Thurman knows what to do with Junior Mission. It is wonderful to see how the young people are working and they love her so much. They say: You never have good luck with a thing that you stoal; that is not true, for COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" By The Cameraman 1. Yes, We Are Not Colored. 2. Farmers and Fanciers. 3. Between Reels Again the pernicious theory of "Yes We Are Not Colored" is awakened from its slumber by an amitious Washington correspondent who has written to the Cleveland Gazetto about the Leslie Pinkney Hill. W. E. B. DuBois defense of the Pennsylvania State Normal School at Cheyney, for which a financial appeal was made along racial lines. The informing correspondent says: "Many people are wondering how much the segregation of our children (in the great state of the Quaker) in the public schools has influenced this generous donor to deny our boys admission to the proposed school. They see that Leslie Pinkney Hill's move ent (which Prof. W. E. B DuBois defended) in the Pennsylvania State Normal Schools is not only influencing school appropriations from the public treasury, but that it is also coloring the minds of private philanthropy as well." Quite true, to be sure, and the tragedy has not yet reached its climax in the state of the great Thaddeus Stevens or other northern states where, for jobs and financial emoluments colorful pioneers carried into a free atmosphere the traditions of segregation. As President Coolidge ably said, in substance: local conditions largely govern the solution of local interracial problems. However, so zealous are some of the explorers of racial sentiments to supplant a fact with a theory that local customs 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 reformers bring to such free soil the customs and traditions of subordination and inequality. Let local customs govern the practices of leaders in these territories, and let not free soil become the fertile ground for the sewing of seeds of racial differences, lest they grow so large that we cannot remove them. What comparison can there be between a few jobs and a few dollars and positive freedom from customs which we criticise in the Southland. Thaddeus Stevens, abolitionist of Pennsylvania, said that he believed "in the equality of all men before God, their Creator." SO DO WE we stole her and she is making good. All the auxiliaries of the church are getting along fine for we have good leaders from the pastor down. We are glad to note that Mr. Massie, who has been very sick, is up again. Mrs. Massie is going back to Miss. to see her children and look after her property. Mrs. Mollie Jones has returned home from Hot Springs, Ark, feeling like she was sweet sixteen. Mrs. W. A. Matthews made a flying trip to Colorado Springs, Wednesday on lodge business as she is over them all in this state. Mr. J, H. Horne has gone to Salt Lake, Utah, to spend the Christmas with his children. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smith motored to Pucblo, Sunday to see Mr. Smith's Brother.

Johnson has changed her Mission Aid to a Sewarg Circle which will meet hereafter on Fridays in stead of Wednesday and she invites all who wish to take a part in sewing for what we make will be sold and the money turned over to the church, just as the mission was doing. She is making a fine president. We turned over to the church $22 and left a good nest egg to add to the other president. They say; they are going to beat her; they will have to hurry, if they do. Mrs. Lottie Foster, Mrs. B. Dow, Mrs. Dorie Roberson and Mr. Dow from House衣 shipped with us Sun evening. We were glad to have them, come again. Don't fall to go to the King Tut Five Cents Per Copy PRESIDENT COOLIDGE ASKS LARGER AID FOR HOWARD UNIV WASHINGTON, D. C. Janet Howard University goes before the Appropriation Committees of the Congress of the United States the year with requests amounting in the aggregate to $815,000. This amount has been recommended by Honorable Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior, under the department of the government. The University government appropriations are expended and by the Bureau of the Budget of the United States. The appropriation of $815,000 re- commended for Howard University for the coming fiscal year is greate- in excess of the $232,000 provided for the current year. New items propo- sed for Howard University include $127,500 toward the construction to a building for an Assembly Hall Gymnasium, Armory and Admini- tative Headquarters for a Depart- ment of Health and Hygiene—an in- crease of $87,500 over the current set $370,000 for additions to the Medica- School Building, and $130,000 for equipment for these additions to the Medical School Building. President Coolidge in his first message to Congress in speaking of the 12,000,000 Colored Citizens of the United States called attention to the fact that there is need for some 50 colored physicians each year; and that a half million ($500,000) dollars should be appropriated for increase facilities for medical courses at Howard University.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—From bazaar to Prime Minister. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Joseph and the Migration to Egypt. The seed promised Abraham, through which the world was to be blessed, was fulfilled in the giving of Isaac. Of Isaac's two sons, Jacob, the younger, was chosen. To Jacob was given twelve sons. They became the heads of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Joseph, a son of Rachel, Jacob's beloved wife, was especially loved by his father. Because of the partiality shown by Jacob, Joseph's brethren hated him. This hatred was fanned into flame by his making known to his brethren certain dreams. Therefore, when his father sent him to inquire after the welfare of his brethren, they sold him a slave to Midianite merchantmen who in turn sold him to the Egyptians. Under a false charge, made by Potlphar's wicked wife, he was cast into prison. Through the interpretation of a dream of one of Pharaoh's servants, and later Pharaoh's dream, Joseph was providentially exalted to be Prime Minister of Egypt. He put on a great conservation scheme, which provided against the bitter famine which came upon all that country. This sojourn in Egypt taught Israel in a new way to trust God, welded them into a nation, transformed them from a nomadic to a settled life, and gave them acquaintance with the material advancement of their time. 1. Joseph Presents His Father and Five Brethren to Pharaoh (Gen. 47:10). 1. Pharaoh's Invitation (Gen. 45:10-19). Jacob and his sons were in Egypt by Pharaoh's invitation Joseph went out to the land of Goshen to meet them. Though now occupying an exalted position, Joseph was not ashamed of his father even though he was a plain country man 2. Joseph's Tact (iv. 1, 2; cf. 46:30-34). (1) In introducing his father and brethren in a personal way, thus capitalizing his own influence in favor of his kin. Parasoh had high regard for Joseph; therefore would do much for them for Joseph's sake. God does much for us for Jesus' sake. (2) In having his father and brethren come to Goshen (Gen. 45:10). Since possession is "nine points of the law," they were already in Goshen before asking Pharaoh for permission to occupy it (v. 4). (3) In coaching his brethren (Gen. 46:34). He taught them beforehand what to say, because he knew how awkward they would be in the presence of the great king. Our Joseph, Jesus Christ, teaches us how to pray and what to pray for. (4) In choosing five, not all (v. 2), In all probability he chose the five who would make the best appearance. He knew the great importance of first impressions. ... Their Request to Pharaoh (vv. 8, 4). Joseph anticipated Pharaoh's questions and put the proper words into their mouths to use in making their desires known to Pharaoh; "Let thy servants dwell in Goshen." 4. Pharaoh's Response (vv. 5, 6). (1) His gracious offer. They were to enjoy the best of the land according to their choice. He dealt with them very liberally. (2) Positions of trust offered to capable men among them. He knew how capable Joseph was and surmised that some of his brethren might be likewise gifted. This gracious offer was because they were related to Joseph. II. Jacob Blessing Pharaoh (vv. 7-10). Though Pharaoh was the great king and Jacob now a supplicant at his feet receiving natural blessings, yet mortally Jacob was above Pharaoh and therefore conferred blessings upon him, this humble salut of God is higher in dignity, than earth's greatest king. Jacob discloses his own estimate of the earthly life of the believer. He calls it a pilgrimage of short duration. III. Joseph Nourished His Father and Brethren (vv. 11, 12). I. He placed them in the best of the land, according as Pharaoh had commanded (v. 11). 2. He nourished them (v. 12). Since there was no bread in all the land to be obtained except as dispensed by Joseph, he distributed to them according to their needs. Our Joseph, Jesus Christ, supplies all our needs according to his riches in glory. Need of Prayer.

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.

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.
