THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.15,No.41, COLLEGE DORMI TORY AT TALLAHASSEE BURNED BUT SCHOOL IS TO GO ON TALLAHASSEE, FLA., Feb. 1. Satisfactory arrangements have been made for continuing school at Florida A. and M. College, located near here, where Gibbs Hall, girl's dormitory, was burned early last Tuesday morning, it was announced from the office of the secretary of the State Board of Control, last Thursday. The building was valued at about $20,000 and was insured for $15,000, while the equipment was insured for only $1,700. Although there were about 50 students in the dormitory when the fire was first discovered, all escaped safely, but many of them lost all of their belongings, it was said. Origin of the fire has not been determined, it is stated, although it is believed to have been accidental. This is the second fire at the school within the last few months. Science Hall was burned to the ground some time ago during a strike of the students because of difference with the administrative officials. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL OPENS IN ARKANSAS (Preston News Service) JONESBORO, ARK., Jan. 31—The Jonesboro Colored Industrial School of which Prof. J. W.

DIDN'T GROW MUSTACHE; RELEASED (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) GOLDSBORO, N. C., Jan. 31—Because, over a period of many days, there appeared to be no growth of hair on his upper lip. James Barnes was released from the local jail, where he had been held for several days, in fact weeks, charged with an attack upon an 18-year-old white woman. The girl had identified Barnes as her assailant, but positively asserted, according to police authorities, that the man had a small mustache at the time. Barnes was locked up under observation, but the failing of hirsute dornments to grow on his upper lip in a period of five weeks resulted in his release.

Gilbert Payne, Reporter, BAPTIST LEADERS HELD CONFERENCE IN NASHVILLE. (Special to The Negro Star. By order of the Conference representing the National Baptist Convention, which was held here, the 22d of this month, it was agreed that the rally for the Publishing House be divided in two periods. The first period extending to the cornerstone laying of the new building which will be the Third Sunday in the month of May. At that time, one-half of the amount subscribed for the new building by Churchs, Conventions and individuals will be paid out. The second period extends to the meeting of the National Baptist Convention in this city, the second week in September next, at which time the second installment of these pledges will be paid. The special drive is for 1 Hundred Thousand Dollars during the present fiscal year. If this amount can be raised, the obligations of the Building Committee can be met to such an extent that there will be smooth sailing during the remainder of the building period. The presidents of State Conventions who attended this Conference committed themselves thoroughly to this plan of campaign. There is to be a season of prayer which terminates the second Sunday in May. On this day, which has been designated as the rally day for the MORRIS MEMORIAL FUND, the first installment of those building pledges will be paid in and sent by the representatives of the various organizations to the cornerstone laying. The pastors of the churches are called upon to do their full duties in efforts to educate their people with regard to this special drive and to interest them in the objects for which the drive has been inaugurated. Every member of the loyal Baptist Churches in the country is urgently requested to contribute ONE DOLLAR. There is also another group of Baptists to be known as the GALLANT TEN-THOUSAND. This group is expected to give an additional dollar to the building fund for which each member will receive a certificate which gives evidence of his or her special interest in the new building. Definite information will be given out by the Publicity Department from time to time by means of which all persons who are interested can be thoroughly posted with regard to the requirements and needs of the Building Committee and the progress that is being made with the new building. If any of our readers or subscribers to the Building Fund find themselves in position to pay any portion of their pledges more promptly than is contemplated by this campaign, such prompt remittances will be cheerfully received. The Building Committee is in great need of money at the present time with which to pay interest and to meet their pressing obligations rising as the work is carried forward. This is the task of all the Baptist. We hereby cordially invite every Baptist or members of other Baptist organizations to interest themselves fully in this drive and make up their minds to do their full share of the work necessary to the completion of this largest industrial enterprise that will be launched by the people of our race during the life of the next ten generations.

EVENING SESSION ARE YOU AWARE? That in the home where the school child gets no encouragement from the parent you will find either one who will never cope with good society or one who will end it all in the "pen" or some other deplorable results will follow. It is not the teacher's job to "raise" the child, the many so-called parents thrust it upon them. The teacher's duty is to furnish the literary work and such a personality that the child will be sure to develop unto a reasonable attainable height and therefore possess and exhibit those qualities as essential in community betterment. It is a deplorable fact that teachers, these days, are compelled to serve as parents for many children by combing their hair; washing their faces, their teeth, and sometimes are tempted to bath them—all this is done because the teacher loves the child and also the appearance of her room as well as the fragrant odor in her room. If parents would co-operate with the teacher and do their part, in this draw of school life, for their children, the community would not only have fewer degenerates and criminals, but the teacher could devote all of her time to cleaning from the brain instead of the body.

At times we were made to laugh and times when we were moved to cry. This dear woman is certainly doing a great work in Africa. She spoke to a crowded house. Everyone enjoyed hearing her. She brought variety of articles from Africa, which the children had made. They were simply beautiful. A collection of $25.15 was given her for mission. The Mission Ladies served in the basement. Friday, Jan. 25, the Mission Circle met at the residence of Mrs. Dora Johnson. There were ten members present. After the routine of business, Rev. Burnside gave a very instructive lesson from Isa. 35th chapter, which was very good. After the close of the meeting, Mrs. C. Howle, became a member of the Mission. Then the body decided to organize a Church Aid; President, Mrs. Wm. MacAllister, Assistant, Mrs. Burnside, Secretary, Mrs. Howle, Treasurer, Molly Harrison. The Mission adjourned to meet in two weeks at Mrs. Rosa Hanks' residence. The Church Aid to meet in a week from date at Mrs. Pearl Harrison's residence. Mrs. Gordon received the announcement of the marriage of her daughter, Miss Hortense Johnson to Mr. Clarence Howle of Pheonix, Ariz., formerly of Manhattan, Kans. * Many attended the Quarterly Meet. SOME HOPEFUL SIGNS OF A NEW DAY The address by Prof. Truman Reed, Sunday night, on "My Neighbor, the Negro," is a striking illustration of the growing courageous attitude of the outstanding young white men touching the righteous application of the Social Gospel. Dr. Hubert C. Herring is truly a pioneer, in promoting this type of program. Truly a New Day is dawning. There was no tendency to wave a "Red Flag," but instead, to present the truth. The scientific, logical approach, as made by Prof. Reed will get us much farther than "Agitation," without facts. Leavenworth Kansas FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH PASTOR, REV. R. A. CARTWRIGIIT The series of meetings held last week did much good. We did not have any converts, but it gave the Christians a reviving to a new sense of duty. Each and everyone was benefitted. A convert was added to the church. Tuesday, in the person of Mrs. Flowers, who has been sick for sometime. She was baptised Wednesday at eleven o'clock. The praying band is still going from house to house, telling men to repent for God is close at hand. Those on the sick list are Bro. Albert Williams and Sister Jennie January. The men and women of the churches are having a revival between themselves in order to see, who will raise the most money for the rally the Second Sunday in February. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. are increasing rapidly. Fannie Wilson and Alice Petitit are appointed by the church to take up money for the District and Foreign Mission. Sunday Morning Services were fine. Devotional led by Bro. A. Miles. Scriptures read by the pastor, Exodus 15:1-10. Sermon from the same chapter and the second verse. Subject of text: "Saved by The Red Sea."

Jan. 30 Among the many things contained in the 12-000 word message to the state legislature of Henry I. Whitefield, sworn in as governor of Mississippi last Monday to succeed Lee M. Russell, was a strong statement urging a more liberal attitude toward the Negro race. He stressed measures to check the exodus of Negro labor; improvement of living conditions as well as working conditions for Negroes thru out the state. The new governor declared that another and very important factor in curbing the general dissatisfaction among Negroes in the state will be the improvement of educational facilities among Negroes. "This alarming inroad on the working people of this state must be stopped, and unless the people in power see to it that better treatment is accorded the colored race in every particular Mississippi will lose the backbone of its producers. I especially recommend the passage of remedial legislature at the present session." be declared. Cherryvale News Items. Sunday services were well attended throughout the day.

FITZWATER, D.D. Denn of the Evening School, Moody Illinois Institute of Chicago.) (© 1934 Western Newspaper Union) LESSCN FOR FEBRUARY 10 THE FAILURE AT KADESH LESSON TEXT—Num. 14 1-10. GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord is with us fear them not—Num. 16 9. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Why Israel failed at Kadeesh. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Crisis at Kadeesh. 1. The Spies Sent Out (Num. 13:17-13). Less than two years had passed since the Israelites were delivered from their Egyptian bondage. They were now at hadesh-burnea, within sight of the promised land. Moses urged them to go in and take immediate possession (Deut. 1:21), but they failed because of their unbelief (Heb. 3:10). The record in Deuteronomy 1:10-25 shows that God did not take the initiative in sending out the spies but that request was made by the people. Representative men, a ruler from each tribe, were secured. There was a threefold purpose in sending out the spies: 1. To see whether the land was as God had told them (v. 18). 2. To see whether the people who dwelt there were strong or weak, few or many (v. 18). 3. To see whether the cities were made up of strongholds or tents (v. 19). 4. The Commission Executed (Num. 13:21-25). They entered the land from the south and traversed it to its northern limit. They spent 40 days in this investigating exploration. On their return from the north, they gathered some specimens of the fruit of the land. Two of them, perhaps Caleb and Joshua, bore a cluster of grapes upon a staff between them as a witness that God had spoken the truth about the land. III. The Spice Rendered a Report (Num. 13:20:33). On their return this committee of explorers rendered a report to the whole congregation. It was not unanimous. 1. The Majority Report (vv. 20-29). (1) A land flowing with milk and honey (v. 27). As a proof thereof, they exhibited the fruit. (2) The people who live there are strong (v. 28). (3) The people live in walled cities (v. 29). (4) The land is inhabited with giants (v. 28; cf. v. 23). They saw themselves as grasshoppers. Furthermore, they saw the people so distributed, the Analeklites in the south, the Hittites, Jebusites and the Amorites in the mountains, and the Canaanites along the sea, that it was impossible to take them. 2. The Minority Report (vv. 30-33). In part this report agrees with the first. It does not ignore the difficulties nor dispute the facts. It denies the conclusions of the majority. They did not minimize the task before them, but asserted that with God's help they were well able to take possession of the land, and urged immediate action. The ten had their eyes on the difficulties, but Caleb and Joshua fixed their eyes upon God. Caleb lived to see his suggestions made real. IV. The Rebellion of the People (Num. 14:1-10). This rebellion began by crying, which shows that they were cowards. Having left God out of the question, they now weep and bowl. 1. Murmuring (vv. 1-3). This weeping and howling was turned into murmuring against Moses and Aaron. Though too weak and cowardly to take their enemies in the power of God, they could assail their leaders. They even wished that they had died in Egypt. 2. Proposition to Organize to Return to Egypt (vv. 3, 4). They proposed to select a captain as their leader. God took them at their word—sent them back to wander in the wilderness for 38 years, during which time they all died except Joshua and Caleb. 3. Moses and Aaron Prostrate Themselves (vv. 5). 4. Joshua and Caleb Protested (vv. 69). They rent their clothes. They insisted that the land was good and that, if the Lord delighted in them, He would bring them into the land. 5. The People Were Filled With Murderous Hate and Proposed Stoning Joshua and Caleb (v. 10). 6. God's Interposition (v. 10). He manifested His glory before all the children of Israel in vindication of the loyalty of Joshua and Caleb. God then proposed punishment for Israel. Sympathy. Often the best act of sympathy you can extend to a friend in a great sorrow is to go to him and be with him, saying little or nothing; for there are sorrows that are beyond words.—Presbterian Record. God's Remedy. There are wrongs in this world to be righted, but no moral philosophy will right them. God alone can meet such a situation with an adequate remedy.—Herald of Gospel Liberty. Our Helper is Omnipotent. It is impossible for that man to depair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.—Jeremy Taylor. God Heara. But I know God hears the sobs in the dark, and the dropping tears. Emporia News. Jan. 28, 1924 The day was bright and beautiful. Let all the people praise Thee Ol God Let all the People praise Thee; all nature seem to be saying: Sunday- School opened at 9:45. The Sunday School is taking on new life under the leadership of Rev. G. Pratt. Eleven o'clock services from Romans 8th chapter. The Pastor took for his text Exodus 15:2 from which he preached a powerful rermon. The B. Y. P. U. was led by Miss Overbrook, subject of the lesson: "Fajth." She had twenty verses on faith. She was a very energetic old lady. The pastor preached from the 24th Psalm and took it verse by verse; and he preached with such power. At the end of his sermon he made free invitation to the church. Collection raised during the week beginning Wednesday night $74.28. This shows that the pastor is a wide awake p an. Our Missionary, Mrs. F. B. Watson spoke to an appreciative audience last Wednesday evening. There were 7 girls responded to the call to be missionaries in Africa. All were normal students, excepting two, who were Emporia girls, viz: Misses Nellie Young and Grace Pratt. Emporia sure will take on new life and will do more for Missions than they ever did. Those on the sick list are Mrs. M. C. Henderson, V. C. Tarry, Mrs. James Helm, Mr. Jack Armtoad, Mrs Maud Taylor and Mrs. Epps. The friends of Miss Lula Price and Mr. John Summer were glad to hear of their wedding, which took place Jan. 12th. Mr. Thomas Smith gave his wife a New Agustine Range for a Christmas present. Mrs. Griffith visited her daughter Sunday. Mrs. Griffith is from Wichita. Mr. Washington rendered a violin solo accompanied by Miss Yorene Ray the pianist. It was so beautiful, we wish he would assist the choir. Mr. Webster visited his sister, the first of the week at the home of Mrs. Murray's. Rev. J. A. Barnes has never failed to warn us of our obligation to the District, the Seminary and Budget. He is always putting it before us. If we fail it will not be the pastor's fault. There ought to be a Negro Star in every home especially the Baptist, because anyone kissing the Editor could not help, but hold their highest esteem toward him. His address to Manhattan, was touching. He made the appeal to the people, how they ought to serve God, not man; for he said when he saw the people going around shaking hands and complimenting the people for their addresses, he said: for them, not to shake his hand, for he would rather for them to give God the praise. A man, who will reverence God deserves high praise. If you don't care to get the paper from the agents, send to Wichita and get it. If all the young folks would listen to the High School Matron, Mrs. Fannie Knight they would not have any trouble. Mr. Andrew Armstead has just finished two Modern homes. Calvary Baptist Notes S. S. at 9:30 each Sabbath morning. On last Sabbath over 100 were in attendance. Interest is growing in the work and the friendly rivalry that exists between the classes for attendance and finance to bringing in new members weekly. AT THE MORNING SERVICES The Pastor selected for his subject "The Christian and His Money" using as a text 9th verse of 3rd chapter of Proverbs. This message on giving was so clearly and forcefully presented that each Christian who latened left with a deeper feeling and understanding of giving to God what belongs to Him. God, the individual and society are involved in the great question of giving one reason given for our failure to render to God what belongs to Him is the lack of understanding with God concerning finance. We should understand what God requires and expects of us. Society gets its share, because we must have shelter for the family clothing and food. If society demands its share, it is certain that a share belongs to God. The Church's greatest need is a definite systematic manner of handling God's Money. This being a Missionary Day at Calvary, the sermon was in keeping with the Spirit of the Day. At 6.00 o'clock, we assembled for the B. Y. P. U., one of the most wide awake auxiliaries of Calvary is the B. Y. P. U. with the President, Mrs. Jewel Brown as the wheel with her staff of enthusiastic workers; we are bringing things to pass. The Vice President, Mr. Edgur Eurks provided conducting a model B. Y. P. U., each minute filled with interest. During the absence of the leader of the Social Group, the Mission Group won the banner for finance, but the Social Workers won the banner for finance this Sunday. The Mission Group is holding the banner for attendance. The following splendid program was rendered by the Willing Workers: 1. Quartet by Merrys Baines, Van Leu, Thompson and Johnson. 2. Paper, "Success," Wendel Van Leu. 3. Vocal Solo, Mr. Lawrence Williams. 4. Original Poem, Mr. H T. Sims 5. Vocal Solo, Mr. E. M. Barnes. 6. Address, "Lifting A Standard," Mr. Edgar Burks. At the close of the B. Y. P. U., we again assembled in the Main Auditotium to listen to a well planned program given by the Mission Circle as follows: 1. Selection by choir. 2. Invocation, Rev. B. C. Rannavalena. 3. Scripture Lesson: The Woman who Prayed, Mrs. Mamie Strothers. The Woman who Loved, Miss N. Fay Oliver. The Wowan Who Cave, Mrs. B. C. Rannavalona. 4. Vocal Solo, "Hold Thou My Hand," Mrs. Russell. 5. Chart Talk on Missions, Mrs. Carrie Anderson, Pres. of Mission Circle. 6. Vocal Solo, Mrs. Gertrude Farmer. This Chart Talk on the relationship between Calvary and the Home and Foreign Mission Work was beautifully demonstrated; and explained in such a simple manner that even the small children understood and were willing and anxious to give their mite for Missions. Following the program, we listened to a strong Spiritual Servant delivered by Rev. J. C. Rogers of Hutchinson, using as his subject: "The Great Commission." The obligations and responsibilities of the Christian Church to the work of Missions were presented in a very pleasing, yet effective manner. After the message a special mission offering was lifted. On the 4th Sunday in February, Special Mission Day will be observed again. The program will be rendered by the Bethany Mission Circle. On Tuesday evening, the Mission Circle was the guest of Bethany Circle, who celebrated their first anniversary with a splendid program and served a dainty lurcheon to the Mission Circle. A splendid time was had by all present. Everybody's Birthday Calendar at Calvary Baptist Church, Monday nite, Feb. 4, 1924 under supervision of Miss Dorothy Sims and Mrs. Jewel Brown.

You must not chew gum in church; if so the fine is 5. They must visit the sick and especially members of the club." Their motto is meet me at the B. Y. P. U. Sunday evening. They give fruit to sick and money to the most needy ones. They made these rules themselves and are living up to them so far. There are more rules. There are more young people attending church now.
