Prayer by Rev. Melveen, a beautiful soo by Miss LuVerna Hall. Appropriate remarks by Pastor Rev. R. L. Pope, preventing Atty, Fred C. Helm, who in short but befitting words introduced Atty, John Adams of Omaha, Nebr. He complimented the Negro lawyers and judges of the city and told of the fine co-operation and work being done for the race in Kansas, by them, and what freedom we enjoy under the status of the law. We told how Booker T. Washingon preached industrialism until every School and University in America caught the spirit and the German and other nations called for him abroad. Dubois stood as a giant for the rights of his people through agitation, which divided the opinion of the race, some following Dubois some Washington, but now we need to teach love one for the other. Three sentences expresses the sentiments of America: First, Justice, safety and tranquility; Second, Social growth toward oneness; Third, The economical development of all that none would suffer. Anything that opposes these sentiments of the governments growth and causes men to hate, should be crushed at once.

"WIIAT MEN DE- SERVE"-BRISBANE Preston News Service) PITTEDBURGH, PA., Mar. 28—Arthur Brisbane, regarded as the most widely read writer in the world today, recently said something worth more than passing consideration by the race, when he wrote as follows: "Mr. Carvey who wears as fine robes as any English lord chancellor and intends to lead the colored people to liberty and a republic in Liberia, s.ys to his followers: "You are entitled to anything that anybody else has." "That isn't quite true. Each man is entitled to what he can achieve. White people have fought and killed for many thousand years in process of getting what they have now. "But all people, and especially the Negro race, brought to this country by slave traders against their will, are entitled to justice and full opportunity. And that is all that is demanded by intelligent nynn and women, both black and white." OBITUARY.

Mr. Terry united with the St. James Baptist Church 38 years ago under the pastorage of Rev. George Brown and remained a faithful and conscientious member to the end. He had made his home with his son Charles Terry for a quarter of a century, the last seven years of which was attended with intense suffering. For the past years his agony has been almost unearable. The devotion and care shown by Charles Terry and wife leaves no doubt in our minds that all has been done possible to alleviate his suffering. He was taken to the Newman Memorial Hospital Feb. 20, where it was hoped that medical aid and special nursing might restore him again. But not so, March 2nd at 4.00 a.m. he answered to the call.

M.T. CARNEL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. C. M. Watson, Pastor We are vet. in a rejoicing atmosphere after realizing how good and merciful the Lord has been to us and how He has so wonderfully blessed our church, numerically, spiritually, and financially under the leadership of our beloved pastor who is ever efficient. We were blessed to have our service last Sunday and to have our State Missionary, Dr. A. W. Ross present, who took charge of the hour and taught the lesson as one of authority. Many helpful thouands were brought out by Dr. Ross which were worthy of consideration, above all was "To delight to do God's will." At 11 o'clock, after a spiritual praise service, our master, in a befitting manner introduced Dr. Ross, in which he styled Dr. Ross, and the Kansas Bartart as the host of Israel at the Jordan when God called a Joshua and Joshua arce and said to Israel, arise and let's go over this Jordan, Dr. Ross cross with his flow of language, took for his subject 'All things work together for good to those who love God' from which he preached a wonderful sermon and one colored by all present. Weather was very bad but a fairly good crowd was present to greet this Gold-starring man with his burning message. We are pled to have our efficient Missionary with us and pray that time will soon permit him to come our way again; we assure him an appreciative audience. Collection for the day $66.5 We had a lovely B. Y. P. U., and on an excellent solo by Mrs. Bessie Harris, 'Think On Thy Way.' Our hearts rejoiced as this sweet voice chanted this taming song. At 8 p. m., our pastor took for his subject: 'Faith' from which he delivered a powerful sermon, full of exhortation and advice. A high spl "CONSIDER THE OTHER FELLOW" (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, PA., Mar. 28- G. E. Jessup, welfare director among colored men for the Jones & Laugh- in Steel Company plants, in a speech before a group of workers in the plants at the auditorium last Sunday afternoon, said in part: "Indelibly stamped upon the memory of many a man and woman is a picture of some great episode in which the elemented forces, that make up life, is put to test the vital faculties of the human soul. "If you could look into the hearts and minds, of men and women you pass upon the street, you would find true stories greater than any fiction ever written, stories of struggles against enormous odds; of success won through shame of failure rather than compromise with conscience; stories of endless devotion and boundless love; of hate that burns and scars the soul; of men runned through woman's wiles; of other men made great through woman's love; of women who risked unaccountable so utterly unbearded that if a writer of fiction dared to set them down he would be called a dreamer of impossible dreams, a modern Muchanson, and his works condemned — stories that yourself believe if you did not know theirs to be true. "Who pretends to know the secrets of those who are met and known, day by day? The man or woman upon your left may be the payest of the pay; he or she laughs while his or her heart is breaking. Those upon your right are, to all appearances, 'saints'—heir conduct perfect, their manner devout and yet they may be the viper who is poisoning the heart of your other friends or acquaintances. So let us not in haste pretend to know anyone, but treat the other fellow as we would like to be treated, and this will be a finer old world to live in." itual service. We pray God each day to continue His manifold blessings upon us; we have pledged daily prayers for our pastor. Readers, when in the city, worship with us; our church is the visitors' home. Our clubs: Lily of the Valley, Sunflower, Ever Loyal, are all doing nice and raising means to build. The Mission Society and Sewing Circle are wide-a-wake under their efficient leaders and are expecting to do great things for the Cause. Our pastor will soon move into the newly purchased parsonage we hope he will feel at home for we are trying to have it as comfortable as possible and hope God will assist him in the happiness of the home. We are pleased to note that our church is lined up for better work, than it has been since its organization and we ask the prayers of the Christians as we enter this revival in the near future. God has given us 84 new members under the leadership of our pastor without a revival and we feel one now in order. We are doing great things now for God, or attempting great things and in return we are expecting great things from God. Parsons News Notes. (Continuel from last issue.) The hardest fought game of the season of basket ball was the deciding game of the Southeastern Kansas Intercollegiate League Schedule. Ft. Scott had not lost a game, Independence had been defeated only by Ft. Scott. Believing that Independence could win, a great crowd wrenched its way to the court of the senior high school. Independence, last Friday night, to see the game. Prof. A. E. Clark, president of the Association was one of the interested spectators and between halves delivered a most matterful spect on "Co-operation for the benefit of the youth," which was enthusiastically received by the multitude. The game itself was extremely hard fought. Independence put up a hard fight, only going won in the last play to the tune of 18-12. This practically closed the league season of basket ball. All attention will be placed to the track meet. The first anual intercollegiate track meet will be held in Parsons, sometime during the first part of May. All athletes in southeastern Kansas will take part and are planning for this to be a grand success. CHURCH SECOND CHRISTIAN CHURCH Regardless of the weather, Bible School was well attended Sunday morning and a fair congregation at 11 a.m. The pastor, Rev. T. E. Camp bell, spoke on the subject: "Things that God had given," and we found that he had gives us more than we were thankful for. At night we had a splendid Endearment, at 8 p.m. Rev.

Cheer THROWS OPEN ITS DOORS It is an established fact that the Don't Mira It Cafe No. 2 is the prettiest and best operated Cafe in Kansas, with Mr. Chub Ibout, proprietor and head cook. He has been accused of being the best Cafe Man in the State and he will act any day the allegation, but stands ready to prove it at any time. The befuld Mahigany furniture, the tastily arranged booths, the swift writers and the best of food is the assets that make it a Cafe sound forth as the Beacon Light for the people of Kansas convenience. Don't forget now that he will serve his first dinner beginning Sunday at 11:00 a.m. on the corner of Wabash and 13th in his new upstairs Cafe.

At eleven o'clock Pastor E. S. Sobey preached from the subject: "We are Gods Plowmen." Service was well attended. At 3 p. m., we all attended the service at the holiness church, which was very grand, regardless of the rain and inclement weather. There were not many at service at 8 p. m., and Row, Sobey preached from the subject: "When I see the Blood, I will pass over you." The Ministers Alliance will meet on the 3rd Sunday in April.

"As Ye Would That Men Should Do To You, Do Ye Even So To Them." Patients now in C. T. Woods Memorial Hospital are: Mrs. Addie Forman, Mitch, Oklahoma, surgical Mrs. Carrie Martin, Wichita, surgical; Mrs. Ellen Johnson, Parsons, medical Mrs. Margret Brooks, Parsons, medical and Mr. John J. Hill, St. Louis, Mo, surgical. All patients are doing nicely. Mrs. Lyndie Woodry, Independence and Mrs. Mary Harston, Pallas, Texas, were discharged during the past week. Dr. Bowser made a business trip to Coffeenville, Saturday. Because of the splendid work Dr. Bowser is doing in and outside the hospital, he is getting work from all parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. It is the assurance of the highest clear medical and surgical attention that the people of our race are looking for, and they are getting this at Wood's Hospital. We only wish that all our race physicians and surgeons would work for the letterent of our race by either doing the work themselves or getting our most capable ones to do it for them. It is time to quit catering to the whims of the other race and to wake up and make places of our own. We do not have to accept the minor or treatment and treatments given us by the other race. We can have our hospitals of the very first class, but we cannot do it without the cooperation of our own people. Regardless of the fact that we have a hospital, that answers our every need, there are very few physicians and surgeons who will take their patients there. Parsons is glad and read that it has such a man as Dr. Bowser. When we speak of Dr. Bowser, we speak of service. He is a true race man, and we are assured of the very best that is in him for us. We know that he is making a worthwhile act of treatment and we assure him that whatever he unleapts along this line, the people of Parsons, are behind him. Regardless of what we see or hear said, it is very true that Parsons, could find more better fitted for his work than Dr. Bowser. Dr. H, T Gecder, Wichita, came to the hospital Monday to bring Mrs. Carrie Nartha of Wichita, to the hospital. He performed a major operation on Mrs. Martin and it proved to be very successful.

They are developing some real debaters A WORD FROM EX-MISSIONARY HARRISON ALMA, KANSAS, March 3,—I will leave tomorrow for Missouri, to conduct a series of meetings at Harrisonville, where I resigned to accept the District Missionary Work in Kansas, 30 months ago. There are two general classes of preachers today: One whom the Holy Spirit moved upon with the fear of God, and cbedient to the call they entered into the ministry. This class may be few, but they practice what they preach and pleach what they practice. They live clean lives, and see it to the they bring no reproach upon the ministry. If there is anything needed today is more purity in the pulpits. The Second Class, is the class that St. Paul spoke of in the book of Revelations: They are good talkers, but have no fear of God, it seems, by the way they act. This class has dragged down the once high influence of the ministry; they live the life: 'do as I please,' and don't even try to hide their imperial foot-prints. Something must be done, and must be done by the churches and the former or first described preachers. The world is looking for purity in the pulpits, as the Gospel is a system of moral truth. But it is said that a preacher eloped with a winner man's wif not long ago. So much for that; allow me to ask the readers of The Negro Star a question, viz: Where do men's free moral agency and election, or predestination male connection? Each is the doctrine of the Bible. Now don't darken counsel, words without wisdom on this subject or question.—Wm. E. Harrison. and orators among the younger people.

IC--THE DINAMIC OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC--Why the kingdom Was Divided The kingdom so gloriously administered in David's time reached its climax in the time of Solomon. Solomon was led astray through the influence of his heathen wives, and the kingdom had begun to wane. God had expressed his indignation toward him and made known the fact that the kingdom was to be rent from him, yet not in his time, but in the time of Rehobom (1 Kings 11:13). I. The Demand of the People (vv. 1-4). This was occasioned by the burden of excessive taxation and enforced labor, which was required by Solomon in order to build costly houses and temples for his heathen wives. Owing to the multiplacity of his wives, this became very burdensome. They promised loyalty to him on the condition of lightened burdens. II. Rehoboam's Foolish Decision (vv. 6-15). I. Rehoboam Consulted With the Old Men (vv. 57). These were men of experience who had been Solomon's advisers. They advised that the people's request be granted 2. Rehobam Consulted the Young Men (vv. 911). These young men had grown up with him, possibly were his half brothers, sons of Solomon's many wives. Being thus brought up in the luxury of the harum, they were ignorant of the legal right of the people. Therefore, they advised even that the burdens be increased. 3. Rehobam Followed the Advice of the Young Men (vv. 1215). At the appointed time he announced his purpose to the people. He even answered them roughly, assuring his purpose to increase their burdens and sorrows. III. The Revolt of the Ten Tribes (vv. 1624). Upon Rehobam's announcement of his rash purpose, all Israel cried out, "What portion have we in David! to your texts, O Israel." 1. Rehoboaam's Attempt to Collect Tribute (vv. 19, 10). Adoram, his tribute gatherer, was stoned to death. So violent was the opposition on the part of the people that Rehoboaam had to flee to Jerusalem to save his life. 2. Jeroboam Made King Over Israel (v. 20). They seemed to have lost no time in selecting a head so as to be strong in their opposition to Rehoboaam. 3. Rehoboaam's Attempt to Compel the Ten Tribes to Return to Dahlah (vv. 21-24). To effect this, he assembled his army of 190,000 men. Through the prophecy of Shemalah, which forbade them to go against their brethren they were persuaded to return. IV. Jeroboam's Scheme to Unify the Ten Tribes (vv. 25, 34). 1. He Established Calf Worship (vv. 25-30). His pretext for this worship was his fear lost the religious unity should heal the political separation. His fear was that the people would go back to Jerusalem to worship and therefore would gradually be led to acknowledge allegiance to Rohadam and his own life would be taken. He was too shrewd a politician to do away with religion. He knew that religion was a powerful factor in man's life. The prevailing religion of the world today is a political one. It is used as a sort of cement to hold together people and political interests. 2. His Scheme of Worship (vv. 2. His Scheme of Worship (vv. 31-33). (1) He built houses and high places (v. 31). This was against the direct command of God, God had directed His people to destroy the high places, to break down the idolatrous centers. (2) He made priests of the lowest of the people (v. 31). God had set aside the tribe of Leah to fill the office of priesthood. In this again he disobeyed God. (3) He changed the day of the Feast of the Tabernacle (v. 32). The time of this feast was set by the Lord (Lev. 23; 33, 34). Jeremiah argued that the change in the time would be better suited to their northern climate, but God who made the climate ordained the time of the feast. It was his business, the forego, to obey God. (4) Jerobam blinself intrudes into the priest's office. This act of presumption on his part was the climax of his godless acts, which all grew out of his wicked heart. A Good Policy For this is my maxim. I hold that the party receiving an obligation should ever remember it, the party conferring it should forget it immediately, if one is to act with honesty, the other without meanness.—Demosthenes.

Although the unfavorable conditions of the weather prevented many regular attendants from being at church Sunday, the services did not lack any portion of their accustomed quality. The morning sermon was taken from Ecclesiastes 12:16; "Happiness," the pastor said, "is the logical aim of life." He pointed out the four false standards of happiness: Wealth, Wisdom, Dissipation and Power, showing by the example of Solomon that these things all fail to produce happiness. After Solomon realized the insufficiency of all this, we have the words of the text: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; 'Pent God and keep His commandments; for this is the whole duty of man." The B. Y. P. U., had an unusually integrating and enthusiastic meeting at six o'clock by a Social Hour, A. B. Y. P. U. Executive Meeting and Workers' Council have been instituted.

Every Baptist in the State should subscribe for The Star (the official organ.) If you have not subscribed for yours see— J. A. Markham, 420 E. 1st St. KNIFE AND FORK BANQUET KNIFE AND FORK BANQUET --- (Continued from first page.) and jealousy in our race keeps us from seeing the program of the United States and we are struggling up the hill of progress individually and with our own animosity we will meet an overwhelming defeat. He dwelt on the Constitution of the United States. In all large American cities, you can see the Nations of the world, they never become so amalgamated that they forget their race group, but the Negro stands apart. The stir and ambition and hope of his mother in his breast shall never let himself deny the Negro race and center for the best interest of his race. We are seeking to build a religious life that will not let anyone suffer. The Negro race must have its own leaders, doctors, lawyers and papers; but we will not support them. If every Negro in the city will just buy soap from the Negro grocery man, he would have to hire three clerks, as the soap is the same, if we condemn everything else. He teld how he worries when he thinks of the race his boys would have to serve when they finished law in Nebraska, who are now 15 and 16 years' old, but making good. He told how skillfully the four Negro surgeons took the cancer from a patient and the experienced nurses did their work; but when he came down to hear what the Negroes had to say, it was they have let these Negroes kill her, why didn't they get a wile doctor? so the whites had a patient across the street and the patient died, then they said: the Lord was ready for her. He told a painful story of the young physician who spent $4000 of his father's money to open the Mercy Hospital for his people, but had to sell it for debt, because his people wouldn't co-operate with him. We can't live unless the race co-operates, unless it lays down its hate and jealousy, it must perish. They tell lies to keep him from making a living; they say the white race's judge will not hear him. He pictured false and right education; how false education made us feel better than our less fortunate brother; but right education made us enxious to help each other. Mrs. Jessie Emory rendered the closing solo with the sweetness of a righttengale. Benediction by Rev. J. W. Hayes. Advertise in this Paper And Get Results.

Please note change of address from Waverly St. Parsons News Notes. (Continued from first page) March 80th at New Hope Baptist Ch. Dr. H. T. Geeder of Wichita, and Dr. F. E. Bowyer were visitors in the principal's room Thursday afternoon. Miss Garrett, school nurse, made her regular visit Wednesday morning to weigh the children; and made an interesting health talk to the children of the 3rd grade. She complimented them highly on their gain in weight since so many have started drinking milk and cocoa instead of tea and coffee. There were 22 pupils in the 2nd grade who have gained 1 lb and over, seven who retain the same weight and one has lost weight. The 3rd grade has been having some very interesting spelling matches during the past month. The boy or girl having the head mark on Thursday, is privileged to give it a word out to the class on Friday. Jefferson Henderson was the best speller the past week. The Art classes under the supervision of Miss Clark are doing very enlendid work. The boys in drawing class are drawing bird posters and the girls in the basketry class are making scrap baskets end sandwich travs. Mr. Early and Miss Gearie have organized a baseball league for the 17th and 8th grades. Miss Gearie will coach the girls and Mr. Early, the boys. Both teams will have a series of games. The girls' team winning will play the boys' team that wins. The tournament will be sometimes in April. The Douglass Parent Teachers' Association will hold its last meeting of the year, Monday evening. April 14. Second Christian Church—Services were fine throughout the day Sunday, Bible School was at its best. At 11 o'clock pastor Campbell preached a noble sermon; subject: Take Yourself under Consideration. We were greatly benitted. At 6:30 Endeavor was opened. After a brief discussion of endeavors, we were called to our regular night service, at 8 o'clock, the pastor preached from the subject: The wages of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life. A Board meeting was called last Monday night; the purpose of which was to place on the deacon board, more noble workers. Following officers were elected: Bro. Shelby Bridgewater, chairman Bro. Neal, secretary; Bio. Davidson, treasurer and Bro. O. L. Bridgewater, janitor. This makes our board a very strong and energetic bunch of workers, and we can see the church in progress. The Athletic Council of the Southern Kansas Interscholastic Association met at Wood's Hospital Saturday afternoon and awarded the cup to the team at Ft. Scott. Ft. Scott has a clean slate for the whole year. They made plans for the monster track meet which is to be held sometime in May. Walsen, Colorado News. Fine day. Sunday School at 9:45; attendance good. At 6 a splendid B. Y P. U. Meeting, fine under leadership of president, Deacon W. A. Matthews who was elected because the former president could not get there, it is bad for hindrances to keep one from doing service for God and He may see it to move the hindrances if we keep asking in faith; again He says it would be better to have a mull stone about your neck and be cast into the sea it an offend one of His little ones and if there is anything that could offend me would be to have some one try to make me dencune my faith in Christ to adopt theirs. There are good and bad in all churches and very useless to go from one church to another to dencue tattlers, backbitters or any of the other evils, some of them are in all for the devil stays close around the people of God to see who he can destroy. Let us make sure we are right and then go ahead as each of us must stand the test for himself. If we would get out and try to save souls instead of seeking to get people to charge churches; and leaving the running of joints and boot-legging and turn them into servants for God, the cause would be benefitted and Him well pleased. Let's start anew. Deacon Vaughn and son Bennie, worshipped at Lester, Sunday; it was our pastor's day there, services good. Our pastor being State Missionary will preach at Raton Sunday, and we won't have the 5th Sunday any more. We will have our weekly meetings just the same; let's not forget the prayer meeting. Mr. and Mrs. C. Neavels metored to Pueblo, Sunday, returning in the afternoon; report a nice time. Mr. Harris Johnson was in Tobasco, Saturday. Mr. Lewis Massey came home from the hospital recently but is not doing so well, sorry to say.
