THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol.16, No.1, HUGE CROWD AT- TENDS MONT- GOMERY FUNERAL Hundreds Send Tribute; President Coolidge and Sec'y Davis Wire. (Preston News Service) MOUND BAYOU, MISS., Mar. 19 With more than 3,000 persons, represent ing the best in both races, present, the body of Iraliah T. Montgomery, the founder and builder of this city, died at 1 o'clock last Thursday morning. was buried Saturday morning in the town he founded and helped to mould into one of the most noted Negro communities in the United States. Mr. Montgomery was 78 years old, u former slave of James E. Davis, brother of the Confederate President, Jefferson Davis. It is said that after the war Mr. Montgomery served as confidential man and private secretary in the Davis family. Still later he was employed with railway companies that after the war began great developments in southern Mississippi. For his distinguished services with the railroads he was granted 1,000 acres of land, a tract on which he founded Mound Bayou. Many distinguished white persons attended the funeral, several taking part in the impressive funeral exercises which were held with the faculty and student body of the local school taking a leading part. More than a thousand telegrams of cond. lance were received from various parts of the United States, leaders in both races expressing deep regret over the passing of such an upstanding figure as Isaiah T. Montgomery. Among those who telegraphed were President Coolidge, J. J. Davis, and Jefferson Hayes Davis, grandson of the Confederate President. The funeral rites were conducted from the Bethel A. M. E. Church with Iev. S. P. Felder, presiding elder, assisting the pastor with the exercises. It is is said to be the largest and most impressive funeral held in the state. Among the prominent race leaders present was Dr. D. B. Washington, son of the late Booerf T. Washington, who was a warm friend of Mr. Montgomery, and several leading New business men and news paper editors. ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES. That to be aware of some things is a fortune, but there are some other things which if known pauperize ones? Many times one is made to feel rich when he learns that what he is trying to do is appreciated. On the other hard, when he plainly sees that, so far as man is concerned, his work in all naught, he is made to feel that it is useless to be trying—that there is no recompense for his labors. So he with bowed head and abased spirit, plinks away into atysmal despair. Many of us have lost our ability to work on without the applause of the people! But, remember, this is absolutely contrary to nature and he who is willing to serve on amid beet-ments and adverse criticism, is indeed a great character. And, further, the individual who does not like praise, to some extent, and to be shown that what he does is appreciated is subnormal. That most people delight in "fooling" the people! They want people to think they can do wonders when the ability to do is very little. Do you try to, in anything, make the folks think you can do it well when you really don't know the fundamentals of that particular work? If so, remember, you can "fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all the time; but not all the people all the time." R U thinking? If so, let us hear you.

St Paul Notes. Cor. Elm and Water REV, R. L. POPE, PASTOR Owing to the very unfavorable conditions of the weather, we did not have our usual large congregation at worship; however there was a very good attendance at the 11:00 a.m. services who listened to a forceful and interesting sermon by the pastor, Rev. R. L. Pope. His texts was from Matt. 2.2, subject: "The Prayer Ladder;" and Gen 28.12 His topic was based upon the theme: "Whatsoever, ye ask in prayer, in faith believing, ye shall receive." That God's promises are true His words will not fail and we will receive according to our faith. We also met with us as a visitor, Rev. Carson, a pioneer, who established our First Church in Wichita. He spoke of the wonder in itself and progress, mad since its beginning. Rev. Carson l, now located in At the session of our S. S. 9:15 a.m., there was much interest manifested in the study and review of the lesson. The subject for the A. C. E. League at 7:00 p. m., was, "Bible in All World How Sent Forth, and What it does." Psa. 4:51. At 8:00 p. m., a special service was held, a platform meeting by the Junior Federation of Colored Women's Club, Mrs Marie Brown, President. An excellent and pleasing program was rendered. Stewardess Board No. 4 served the weekly dinner Thursday. Mr Geo. Ewing, Vice President of the A. C. E. League is among our sick this week. Walsen, Colorado News Sunday was cur regular pastoral day. Sunday School at 9:45 with good attendance altho the weather was very bad. The pastor preached a wonderful sermon, subject: "Have faith in God." It did us who have faith good to know how to trust Him through faith. At 2:30 p. m., we went back to the funeral of little Henry Evans Carter, who was run over by the school team on the 10th, the injury proved fatal and he died on the 14th. O, it was so sad to know little Evans was gone and we sympathize with the Carter family. He accepted Christ as his personal Savior last November and was baptized into New Hope Baptist Church and lived a faithful Christian to the last. He was 12 years, 9 months and 8 days old when he died. We shall miss him from the S. S. and B. Y. P. U. We know our lost is Heaven's gain. We all loved him so much. Miss Jenola Vaughn read a paper to his memory. A duet by Mrs. Carrie Woods and Mrs. Rubie Myers. A solo by Mrs. Rubie Myers, which was very sweet with Mrs. Storkston at the Piano. Quits a few out of town folks were at his funeral not with standing a foot of snow! Saturday night, which made it so bad. At night, Rev. Bruster preacher another good sermon, which was enjoyed by all. Our pastor, Rev. Bruster, had to hurry back to Colorado Springs, Colo., to hold a meeting of a business nature, but we are locking for him Wednesday evening. We are pleased to see Mrs. J. II. Horne up again. Mr. Lewis Massie is home again from the hospital and feeling fine. We are glad to note, Mrs Sarah Braunck was gone to counnyside to nurse a sick lady. Mr. Will Mitchell had the misfortune to get his leg painfully hurt in the mines last week. A lump of coal fell on Julius Mack Math's foot and mashed it very badly. Mr. John Margram has been down in his back with lumbago, but is some better at this writing. We were pleased indeed to learn that Mr. and Mrs. Harris Johnson have decided to come back and not move away for we need them in our church work. DOUGLASS TOO STRONG FOR JUNIORS. It is now a matter of history that Douglass Juniors were too strong for the juniors in the South Central Athletic Association and on March 20, won over L'Ouverture put up a game fight for the Pennant, but when Dr. Barnett fixes a set of boys, they are hard to handle. He leaves with them that fighting spirit that is so prevalent in him. So, all hats off to the Douglass Juniors who now hold the pennant for the Bas'let Ball Games this season. St. Mary Baptist Notes. Corner 12th and Wabash. Rev. J. E. Douglass. Pastor. The services on last Sunday were very good considering the attendance, which was unusually small but we believe that yet while the weather on last Sunday was indecimate, it was only one of God's many ways in which to show us how little faith we have, to allow a little snow to get between us and our duty. The Sunday School opened at 10:00 a.m. with the usual opening exercises. A very interesting lesson was studied. The classes were reviewed by Bro. Wilson. At 11:30 a.m., a very splendid talk was delivered by Bro. Wilson, a young minister of our church. His subject was Psalm 40.8, "I delight to do thy will my God." At 5:00 p.m. the Social Hour convened. A very good paper was read by Sir Vanwrinkle. The Union was opened at 6:00 p.m. by the president, Bro. Vanwrinkle. A very interesting lesson was enjoyed by all present. At 8:00 p.m., the pastor preached from II. Tim. 2:15; theme: "Power." The sick in general are on the road to recovery. There will be an entertainment at the church on-Friday evening. Prayer meeting is held every Wednesday Night at 7:30 p.m. We in vite all to attend our services Wm. Douglas, Acting Rep St. Mattinews C. M. E. Corner of 11th and Mosley. REV. C. F. COLLINS, Pastor The snow fell fast and heavy, but did not prevent a few from getting the lesson. "David Reign King," They derived many good thoughts from the lesson. The Pastor brought out the points in a timely way. We all can get a higher idea in Kingdom building, if we will attend Sunday School. The subject; "Having a Perfect Understanding," Luke I; at 11:30 was interesting and we were made to feel good by this profound sermon. The Bible in all the world: How it is sent forth and what it does." Pan, 43:15 was a great discussion for the Luworth League. The League is doing much good under the President Mr. Delbert Brown. We will be glad to have you visit the League and take part. Rev, Bolden of Kansas City, Mo. will be in the city and preach for us Sunday at one service. Come out and hear this great man. The play; Red Onion Rural School, Friday was a great success Mrs O. A. Britty has been some-what indisposed in much improved. Mrs Mary (scott) Hankhad is better. We will be glad to see her in the services again. We are sorry to say, we can't work on our foundation of our church on the account of the deep snow that fell recently and is still falling, but the Master knows best, but we are pleased to say all of the auxiliaries of the church are getting along fine. Success to anything means that they have good leaders and that is what we can say about the ones, who is at the head of all of the auxiliaries. We have changed presidents of the Sewling Circle as Mrs. P. II. Johnsons was going to leave, so Mrs. Carte Nevalis is our president; the right wo man in the right place. We are still figuring on our Convention the last three days of this month. It will be decided in prayer meeting Wednesday night. The Home Mission meets one week in the Camp and the next week in town and the Sewing Circle meets in different houses in the Camp. Let us help do a great work. Mr. and Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Black and Mrs. Carter's mother wish to thank the people for the many beautiful flowers that were sent them in loving memory of little Henry Evans Carter. Mrs. H. A. Burt.

EMPORIA, KANSAS, Feb. 27.—In compliment of the beautiful picture of the thirtysecond annual session of the Missionary Baptist Convention and the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Convention:—I appreciate the picture very highly because it presents men and women working for our Lord and Sawyer, Jesus Christ and us we gaze into their beautiful faces, our minds see back to the 15th Psal. the citizens of Zion and repeat: "Lord who shall abide in thy tabernacle, who shall dwell in thy holy hull? He that walketh uprightly and worketh righteousness and speaketh truth in his heart. He that backbitternot with his tongue nor dooth evil to his neighbor nor taketh up a reach against his neighbor in whose eyes a vile person as condemned he honoreth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt and changeth ret. He that putteth his money to utter, nor taketh a reward against the movement, he that doeth these things shall never be naked." Compliment to the ones—I know Dean Garnett of Gary, Indiana, is President of the Theological School, at Topotka, Kansas, has wide experience as an educator both in public and state school work. Rev. McNeal who is kown over the state as one of the major prophets. As we look on the back row we see Sister Stella Ray, a great Christian woman who believes in teaching the children that the ministry is the highest calling in the world and that there is no higher position a man can fill than the ministry.

Cartwright, we will never forget him; how he plead with a young man in Emporia, to be converted now because the spirit told him he would not live to see another revival and sure enough he did not accept Jesus and before another revival, he was dead. As we look at 'Sister M. D. Jones,' President of the Ladies' Hume and Foreign Mission District Board; as she gazed into the far heavens with Mr. Samuel Stubblefield, or better known as little Sammy, a native of African boy at her feet; she seems to say, thank the Lord, this is what I am working for. Let us sisters help her by continuing to raise money a $1.00 a year personal effort. Money will help our Missionary from Kansas, Sister F. B. Watson, who has laid her life as sacrifice on the altar, asking Almighty God to use her as an instrument in His hands to save Africa.
