THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol. 15, No. 42, HOWARD UNIVERSITY $207,000 AP PROPRIATION STRICKEN FROM BILL ON POINT OF ORDER BY DEMOCRAT. (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 6. Taking exception to an address recently delivered by Rev. F. J. Grimke, at the seventh annual convocation of the school of religion at Howard University, Rep. J. F. Byrnes, Democrat of South Carolina, was successful last Tuesday in having appropriations for the university amounting to $207.500 stricken from the Interior Department appropriation bill on points of order. Byrnes declared that Dr. Grimke's address on "What is the Trouble With Christianity Today?" taught a "dangerous doctrine." He added that he was opposed to the congress defraying the expense of a course in theology. He said that Dr. Grimke had declared that he had very little faith in the Christianity of Mr. Woodrow Wilson. PLUCKY MERCHANT FOILS WHITE BANDITS PLUCKY MERCHANT FOILS WHITE BANDITS (Preston News Service) MEMPIHIS, TENN., Feb. 7-Unexpected bravery on the part of Alonzo Robinson routed two masked bandits, but white men, from the store in North Sendod Street last Wednesday, The men came into the store with drawn pistols and ordered the occupants to put up their hands. One of the robbers was moving towards the cash register when Robinson seized a revolver that was lying on the counter near him and began firing. The masked men returned the fire, but were running for the door as they did and their aim was bad. A bullet grazed Robinson's shoulder. One of the men fell as he reached the door, but confederates outside of store assisted him into a waiting automobile and sped away. REV. BRONSON TO SPEAK AT K I.E.I. The Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute has secured for the week of prayer which begins March 23rd and closes the following Friday, the Rev. H. B. Bronson, pastor of the Metropolitan Temple in Kansas City, Kans. There will be six meetings during which special interviews will be held for the students of the institution so as to afford them opportunities to get an understanding of religious principles and ideals. The Institute will also have Dr. J. E. Jeltz, a special evangelistic singer, who will have charge of all the music on this occasion. City Pastors will be invited to help in this series of religious meetings. The purpose of the "Week of Prayer" is to impress upon the minds of our young people, who are just at the stage of life where their minds are elastic and can be turned from good to bad, the need for Christian ideals and salvation, to teach them how to stand firm for what is right and to also teach them how to meet the attitude. Rev. J. H. Garnett will be in charge of the meetings. COLLINS' NEW THOUGHT WEATHER BUREAU FORECAST For Wichita and Vicinity From Feb. 14th to 22nd unsettled. Shifting winds. Changeable Temperature. C. F. Collins. Astro JOE BAILEY GRANTED RE- PRIEVE BY TEN- NESSEE GOVERNOR (Preston News Service) (NASHVILLE, TENN., Feb. 8- Governor Peavy granted a respite to Joe Bailey last Tuesday. Bailey was condemned to die at sunrise on Wednesday for the murder of Policeman Dave Yates of Union City. The respite continues until May 31. Governor Peavy stated that he took this action upon the grounds that he had been unable to decide which of the men, Bailey or Henry Williams, had committed the crime. The jury at Union City, in the Williams case, recently failed to agree upon a verdict. Governor Peavy hopes that this case may be decided before the expiration of the respite granted last Tuesday. But he also stated that regardless of this case he would make final disposition of Bailey's case at that time, HEROES IN SABLE. HEROES IN SABLE. EX-GOV, M. R. PATTERSON IN You can never tell who the heroes in this life may be. They are discovered as occasions arise. Woodfin of Kentucky and York of Tennessee were all unknown to fame, until circumstances gave them the chance to show in what heroic molds they were cast. Woodfin and York are white, but a dispatch from Aberdeen, Miss., tells of another story of heroism, of brave and unselfish service wrapped up in two black skins. The story goes that a man, his wife and 10-months old baby were in an automobile truck packed with their belongings, which they were moving to a new home, and when they reached the James Creek Canal the driver lost control of the car and it plunged into the icy waters with all on board. The day it is said, was bitterly cold, with the temperature far below the freezing point, it seemed that the father, mother and child would all drown and the waters close over them. Without help there was no chance to survive. Two Negroes—Ed. Jones and William Drake—happened to be walking down the road and witnessed the accident. Without a moment's hesitation these men plunged into the stream and effected the rescue of the three struggling forms in the water, who were then brought to Aberdeen and given attention. This is all. The account ended here. I don't know what, if anything, was done for the Negroes, or if anybody praised them. I am sure they have not been decorated for bravery and were not met with brass bands and offers of entertainment. The names of these Negroes will probably never again be in the papers. They did not kill anybody—they saved somebody. No commander ordered them to do what they did, and nobody was there to look on except the helpless trio in the swirling waters. But God looked down upon what these obscure Negroes did, and Christ was near them when they risked their own lives to save the lives of others. It won't do my friends, for us to hate or wrong a race that can furnish heroes like this. It won't do not to give it a chance—not to help and encourage it. Ed Jones and William Drake are black only outside—they are all white within. Their act was as fine as any that may be found in any tale which has been told of heroic service. Ed Jones and William Drake have hearts of gold. They are gentlemen by right of what they did. Their titles are clear to respect and honor. The Sunday School, B. Y. P. U. Missionary Society, Church a n c Lodge stand in need of one. Order today. 1241 Wabash Avenue, WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Feb. 8, 1924. CONFERENCE ON RACE RELATIONS Mounts Newton Kansas News. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH The regular Sunday services came up to their usual high standard. The Sunday School was conducted by the Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Jack L. Ross. Our pastor's morning subject was "Love ye one another." He dealt with the necessity of Christians loving one another, according to the example of Jesus' love, which was humble, sacrificial, even unto death, a perfect love. At three p. m. Rev. Ware preached for Rev. Housely of the A. M. E. Church. They were engaged in a special financial effort and the sermon was appropriate for the occasion. The B. Y. P. U. meeting at six o'clock was very interesting. The excellent lesson was well taught. Rev. Taylor was a visitor at the Union and evening service. Although the evening serron was Pastor Wate's third discourse, it showed no falling away from the high character of messages which he is accustomed to deliver. His subject was "Dead, Bound, and Buried." Through our State Official Organ we wish to announce our special financial effort which is to terminate on the first Sunday in March. Our aim is to raise $2000.00 before that date. We have made a special appeal to all the Christian citizens of Newton, which has been well responded to. A large feature of this drive will be a play and banquet, given by the Sunday School on February 28, 1924. All the Churches of Newton and Calvary Baptist Church of Wichita, are cooperating with us in this effort. The Mission Circle met Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. O. B. Ware. The Sewing Circle met with Mrs. P. M. Meridith, on Thursday afternoon. YMCA ASSOCIATION LEADER COMING Clyde Hartford, who next to Mr. Edwethy, has done more to provide a place in the State Program, and a square deal for Colored Boys will be in Wichita, Sunday, enroute home from an Older Boys' Conference.

W. L. Hutcherson, Chairman, Announces Program. The Federal Council of Churches designated Sunday, February 10th as "Race Relations Sunday," but in lieu of our Conference and the coming of Dr. Haynes, the local council is proclaiming Sunday 17th, and asking the churches of the city to observe this day. All of the Colored Churches will have white speakers, and some white churches will have colored speakers. The Day promises to be epoch-making in the life of the city. Detail programs will be out next week. Leavenworth Kansas FIRST BAPISTIST CHURCH PASTOR, REV. R. A. CARTWRIGHT The Sunday School was reviewed by the superintendent, Sister Valdeanus Wake. She itemized each thought upon the subject: "The Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai. The School as a whole was given something to think upon. It helps us to pattern after the lives of men passed and gone. It makes us this modern and enlightened age to have a foundation to build upon. The lesson focuses on leadership and the subjection of followers to their leaders. Sunday Morning Services—Devotionals led by Bro. A. Miles. Scripture 40th division of the Psalms.

New Hope Baptist Sunday morning, it was our privilege and pleasure, in Sunday School, to study "What Israel Learned at Sinai," What a lesson! The earnest truth-seekers secured a greater vision than they formerly had of this subject. At eleven a. m., Rev. Melivane preached a wonderfully interesting sermon from 1 Cor. 15.13; subject: "Jacob's Ladder." There was a good attendance and the Holy Spirit gave the speaker a great message. Under the leadership of Miss Neola Parks, the B. Y. P. U., is doing good work. The young people are striving to increase their wisdom in the things of the Lord. The Scripture Lesson at 8.00 p. m., was read from Heb. 9.1-15. Rev. T. M. Jackson preached the word, using for a text Heb. 9 22; Subject: "Conditions of Sin's Remissions."

The New Hope Baptist Church at this place, pastored by Rev. C. R. Bruster, is progressing nicely. The W H, & F. M. Circle, Sunday School, Junior Mission and B. Y. P. U., are getting on just fine. IT ISN'T THE CHURCH IT'S YOU If you want to live in the kind of church Like the kind of church you like; You need not slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. You'll only find what you left behind. For there is nothing really new; It's a knock to yourself when you knock It isn't the church. It's You. Real churches are not made by men. Afraid least some other brother gets ahead; When all works and nobody shirks. You can raise a church from the dead. And when you make a start, Your brethren will make one too; Your church will be what you want it to be, You see it isn't the church. It's You. -By MRS. W. A.

Walsen, Colorado Notes Sunday was our pastoral day at Loster; had splendid Sunday School with good attendance; much interest manifested. Ore Rev. Ristol (white) visited our S. S., and took part and the Supt., asked him to have something to say, which he did; his talk was grand and enjoyed by all. He then invited Rev. Pugh in which he gladly consented. He also asked to have prayer in which he asked God to come in spirit's power in Walsenburg, for it is a wicked little city where they have just witnessed a double murder one of which was suicide, all white and they are very much worked up over it; and asking our prayers that God may stop the evils there. I can't say that I am pleased that it is among the whites, but God knows I am glad it is not my race; yet, they are bad enough. We then went into prayer with him; Splendid prayer service. Prof. L. H. Pugh, Deacon Burt and wife motored to Lester, to service and had a glorious meeting. Mr. Pugh was dinner guest at Deacon Hoods' while Deacon Burt and wife were dinner guests at Mr. and Mrs. Kingberry's who are friends of Mrs. Burt, from Alderson, Oklahoma, and have not been cut here very long. We had a very pleasant time indeed. In the afternoon, we went over to Mrs. Wortham's to have Bible Band; subject from the 16th verse of the Book of Jude to the last, but we dwelt on the 18th and 19th verses and many good thoughts were brought out. Then back home to our own B. Y. P. U., for another good lesson and attendance. The Junior Mission had an apron and necktie entertainment and had a fine time; old and young enjoyed themselves to the highest and a neat little sum realized for the church. All the auxiliaries are at work; each doing its best to lead. The Juniors are working like little bees; they are making us older ones get a move on us. I for one am pleased to see them working for the Lord as they are, and when they get men and women they will be able to take the work in hand; when we old ones are dead. The Sewing Circle of which Mrs. P. Johnson is President gave their leap year entertainment Friday evening at the club and they too had a nice time and realized again something for the church. Mrs. R. B. Thurman, president of the Junior Mission is the right woman in the right place. We are pleased to note that Mr. B. Powel who was hurt in the mine some days ago is at work again. Mrs. Hattle Holmes is still on the sick list; her husband thinks he will have to send her to the hospital. We PHONE MKT. 10 hope she will soon be herself again. We are indeed sorry to note that Mr. W. R. Thomas had a severe hemorrhage of the lungs and had to be rushed to the hospital. He was teacher of our Senior Class in our S. S. and we are praying that he will soon recover; and be at his post. Mr. Lewis Massie, who has been sick for sometime told the writer, he was feeling fine again. Mrs. Iola Martin will give a Trip-Around-the-World. All wishing to go, come to Station A and get a ticket. The fair is cheap. This the Sunbeam Club working for the church. We hope they will make good. The holiness people are have a revival, hoping to get someone to accept Christ through that channel. They have been blessed with one soul, in the person of Mr. J. A. Merriwether. Mr. W. M. Jones and wife have been on the sick list, but are better at this writing. TheWriter had the misfortune of falling and hurting her knees very badly, but it is better. Mr. ord Mrs. Nevals, Mr. and Mrs. Woods, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Richard motored to Pueblo, Sunday and returned Sunday. They report a very nice time. H. R. A. B. Our services on last Sunday were very fair. Sunday School opened on time, Subject studied. Lesson was well explained by Supt and pastor. There were a big number absent. The e'veen o'clock services were effective, the Minister, Rev. Douglas, delivered the sermon and we had one accession. The B. Y. P. U.. session was one of joy. Bro. E. L. Newton is doing his best to convince the people the need of the Union in our church. The night services were fair, the pastor preached a very tinely sermon and a strong young man to join for baptism, and another one came forward to be publicly prayed for. We regret very much the continued illness among the membership of our little church. Mrs. Nesby, Mrs. Thompson, Cavanough, Sanders are still in the hospital. Mrs. Carrie Baker is quite ill at the home of Mrs. Mary Cotton, 1103 N. Mosley. We regret the departure of Mrs. J. W. Johnson from us as she goes to join her husband, the Rev. J. W. Johnson, pastor at Dodge City. Let us pray for them. The little home mission party by the sisters was enjoyed.. The choir is growing under Bro. Houston's leadership. The Mission Circle under Mrs. Simmons is progressing. Reporter. St. Paul Notes. REV. R. L. POPE, PASTOR Cor. Elm and Water "And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire, out of the midst of a burning bush, and he looked and beheld the bush burned with fire, but the bush was not consumed." This was the text of a splendid sermon by Rev. R. L. Pope at 11:00 a.m., from Ex. 3:2. When God spoke to Moses, and of Moses' message from God to the Children of Israel. There was a large attendance. The holy sacrament was also administered during the services. At 8:00 p.m., Rev. D.R. Little delivered a good sermon. The S. S., was just fine, the attendance, contribution and general interest.

SUNDAY is the Lord's Day and as He has blessed you thruout the week it ought to be your purpose to give Him in return the presence of an Lonest soul in His altar. Every chancelical church in the city bids you welcome. Give the Lord ONE DAY OUT OF SEVEN and GO TO CHURCH, SUNDAY. IT is to be hoped that Republican- ism in Kansas will declare fully against the spirit of prejudice which row and again lifts its head within the bounds of our fair state. It is not enough to draft eloquent clauses in state platform, far better will the attitude of the Grand Old Party be expressed by a full recognition of The Negro in accord with his ability and worth after the election by appointments to office in keeping with the worth of racial support. GO to Church, Sunday and hear the music of another world, the world of enchanting melody; the world of sainted legions who have crossed The GREAT DIVIDE and rest over on the other side, where you have sainted ones awaiting your coming. It may be that in church of the city a spirit friend may be waiting and out of the hidden mysteries of the spirit world, may bear to your soul the inspiration of celestial awakening of latent energies within you which will lead you into life everlasting. WHILE great opportunity was presented the Late Ex-President Woodrow Wilson to accomplish a vast amount of tangible constructive work to promote the greater good of the Negro of American Citizens it is to be laan entailed that no constructive administration; however, the Negro program in that direction marked his Exce loyal to every lota of Americanism places a wreathe upon the funeral bier thus doing honor to one who goes down in history as having been the ruler of a nation of which the American Negro is distined to become a recognized factor. MORE and more is it becoming apparent that leaders of the race, striving to make gains in full recognition of their people must move only after a definite program has been fully outlined and positively understood by the factors charged with its promotion, and then only after the program has been examined as to its particular power of resisting any measure of opposition which may be brought to bear against it by forces inclined to bring about defeat of the ultimate aim. It is not enough to move forward hurriedly without having developed sufficient argument to advance in the interest of every feature of a racial progress so that if subject to a rapid fire of cross ques- LOCALS Mrs. Ruth K.

IT is useless to complain of the is dexter to complain of the progress of the race or deciy what may be termed as the failures of its leaders in the political, commercial, social or church life. If the race is not making rapid progress and if there is a short-coming on the part of its leadership, along any given line, it is due to the lack of individual harmony of action on the part of the masses. When the masses of the race stop knocking and properly utilize the spirit of cooperative organization, racial leadership may be determined and held responsible for its failures. The best insurance for racial success is ORGANIZATION capable of working along direct lines. Conservative racial thought incapable of radical procedure yet tinted with the spirit of modern racial dignity. A proper conception of racial obligations both within and without the ranks of the race, and a clear vision of racial possibilities under proper leadership. THERE is no duty of citizenship that ought to have more consideration than the proper exercise of the citizenship right of franchise. It is true that leaders in the political circles of the race may unwittingly make mistakes and in some instances albut stand out as traitors to the greater advancement of the political history of the race yet it is to be doubted whether their most deplorable errors equal the attitude of the Negro who will not accept the opportunity of registering as AN AMERICAN CITIZEN by voting his sentiments relative to the governing power of the Nation whether his sentiments be registered with either of the major parties or with some party born over night in the heat of a political campaign. That Negro who will not exercise the right of citizenship, after fair and honest thought pro and con, stands out as the greatest enemy the race has in America, today. The sight of every Negro to vote has been purchased by the shed blood of valiant warriors and he who fails to avail himself of the opportunity to vote must stand a craven coward in the face of a shifting political world where events arising over night may determine the future of races even the Negro Race. The duty of citizenship demands that all members of the race hear all sides as their arguments are advanced in the approaching campaign and with a good conscience vote in the general interests of that spirit of Americanism assuming to the race its greatest measure of racial successes in the affairs of a government which has been developed by black as well as white labor, sacrifice, stuggle and loyalty.

I beg to make my first report. Our lt le church, as you know is young; we were organized on the 3rd Sunday in January 1924 and we are do our best to do better with the help of the Lord we will have a church some day and not a hut. We have a wonderful pastor, Rev Gary, who was but with us like a good Shepherd on last Sundays. In Sunday school and preached an excellent sermon in morning service. Pearlie M. Graver Teacher, Ollie Rubinson, Secretary ARE YOU AWARE? BY PROF. E. M. BARNES. That one of the most difficult problems which needs badly to be solved if this country is so really measure up to the place where she deserves to have other countries think she stands, is the relation between the races. There is an estrangement still existing between the whites and coloured. This difference is co-existing in both races. In many instances one is as much to be blamed as the other. But what as at the bottom of it all, as what is the needed force that is so woefully lacking* It isn't material. It is a proven fact that when the American white man plus the American Negro can exercise such phenomenal physical force in battle that they set to wonder all other armies of the World; so the trouble does not lie in the lack of physical strength. Altho Rome was for a while the metropolis of the world and he the rest of the world spell-bound; and altho German Kulton for generations was the wonder of the world, America now claims and is generally looked upon as second to move in her educational aspirations and attailments. Hence, we cannot ascribe this condition of unrest to ill literacy. The materialistic side of this discussion needs no lengthy comment for the world is aware of the fact that the outcome of the World-War was dependent upon the supplies and activities of America. So we do not end a possible reason. Since this great evil does not imitate from physical, mental, or intellectual debility, we can only think of ore more place which, we might find. Is a depository food such germs as prejudice, envy, hatred, etc. Evidently, when a question arises about the presence of an individual whose face is somewhat sunburnt and whose station and opportunity in life has not always been equal to that of some other persons, but, who was created equal to others by the same Father,—I say evidently the Heart of the person objecting is not working rightly. When one heart is not in accord with the intention of the Creator, he has no love, no real care and no real respect for his fellow creature. No man can be kept down unless some one else keeps him down. In order to hold one down another's time and talent will be exhausted in accomplishing the job. Atho America buoys of its greatness she has only started a great work, which she could accomplish and lead the world in it if the attention were centered upon the development of a symmetrical government and not upon "keeping the Negro in his place," i.e. down in the ditch as some mental degenerates term it. America must get her share of the sufferings of the world before she wakes up to the realization of her duty. Dr. Crane says that what the Negro wants most of all is to let alone and NOTICE!!
