THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 16, N°. 4 RACE CONGRESS ADVANCED TO APRIL 29. IDEA OF INFORMATION BUREAU HERE TAKING COUNTRY PRESIDENT AUTHORIZED TO SOLICIT FUNDS. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 1 In response to urgent requests from certain states, the executive committee of the National Race Congress, which met here last week to make arrangements for the next annual session, advanced the date of the meeting from May 7 to April 29. Mount Carmel Baptist Church, 3rd and Eye Sts., N. W., was selected for the proceedings of the Congress, which will close May 2. President Jernagin reported that during his recent trip through parts of the South he had met with some of the leading citizens and had organized units of the congress at Tampa and Jacksonville, Florida. On his return trip he stopped off at Raleigh, N.C., where, as the UNION RE- FORMER puts it, he was a guest at a luncheon representing "Raleigh's best business and professional men." The Reformer goes on to state that 'The burden of his message was to show those present the good results that can be achieved through co-operation. He appealed to the members of the league to put aside their petty differences and throw their moral, financial and intellectual strength together and co-operate for the good of all the people. "The big thing that members of the Negro race need, is centralized bureau composed of our conservative leaders to represent our interests when things of vital importance occur, and such is the aim and purpose for which the Peace Congress was orgnaized; he said." The committee passed a resolution authorizing the President to solicit funds for this bureau. DENOUNCE KU KLUX KLAN (Preston News Service) HARRISON, ARK., April 11—Several hundred people attended an antik'an meeting in Bellifonte, last Thursday night and heard Jeff F. Fowler, of St. Joe, a lawyer, denounce the Ku Klux Klan in the most scathing manner the klan has ever received in the State. We are indeed very thankful for the way the Lord has enabled us to decrease our debts. Two years ago we owed $22500; now we owe a little less than $15000. At this rate in three or four years Calvary, will be completely out of debt. We are now trying to raise $2500 by May the 11th—this is to be applied on the amount we now owe. Let each member therefore do his best, to help in this drive. We appreciate the kindly assistance of our friends.

FRIDAY, April, 11, 1921 HEALTH FILM SHOWN TO RACE IN NEW ORLEANS HEALTH FILM SHOWN TO RACE IN NEW ORLEANS (Freston News Service) NEW ORLEANS, LA., April 11— "The Message of Hope," a film shown at the Lyric theater last week in the interest of "Negro Health Week," was witnessed by thousands of race men, women and children, according to an announcement by the Anti-Tuberculosis League. ARE YOU AWARE? BY E M BARNES That the question of Race Salvation as it regard the Negro, which was spoken of in this column some weeks ago is a question needing attention of the thinkers. The question of "What Shall The Negro Do To Be Saved" should ever be with him. In all sincerity, what shall he do to be saved? Can he go on as he is going and amount to anything in a few years to come? Can he continue in his indolent and unconcerned way toward his brother and win leadership in the affairs of the nation? Can he hope to be anything particular in the eyes of the world and God when he rejoices in the downfall of his fellow or does anything to retard the onward march of a proposition not birthed by him? No, it is difficult to see just what he hopes or expects; if he does hope and expect at all, in the time of dividing the spoils of this battle of life. He cannot win the proper recognition here below or in the land above at the rate he is now traveling. He cannot hope for a better lot than he now has; if he retains the attitude he now shows toward his own group; and also toward the other dominating group. First of all, then, he must change his ideas, his feelings and his attitude toward the things of world and the people of the world; if he would take his rightful place in the active hall of life. Some of us often wonder (not think) why our expressions seem to and in many cases actually continue. It is also often said that our group stands as a target for the world. Did the gerrarker ever think (not wonder) about the gross estrangement and singular factionalism yet existing in our group. Every superstition, hatred covetousness and many other such qualities are attributes of the devil, and tend only toward keeping a part a would be great race or people. So, an illumination of these non-essentials to win in this gridiron of time. There is without a doubt something in the thot of the Negroes election as a people's. However we do not wish it understood that he will inherit with out an effort eternal life as a race; but personally, as all others. We believe he was chosen for a certain mission to fill a particular and important niche in God's plan of affairs; how well he fills that place depends solely upon his prayerful and sincere attitude toward God's plan. This has so far been the losing factor in his life. Finally there are definite and decisive steps and plans to be made if the Negro would be saved. Taking into serious thought those things mentioned above and many others which might be iterated the salvation of the Negro is a problem whose solution can readily be seen. Are you treating yourself if right? If so, the other fellows need not fear you. We thank you for your thoughts and criticisms. COLLINS' NEW THOUGHT WEATHER BUREAU FORECAST For Wichita and Vicinity Fror April 11th to 18th, Unsettled. Shifting winds. Light rains probably. Generally cool. C. F. Collin, Astro WHITE FIEND ATTEMPTS RAPE ON SMALL RACE CHILD Preston New Service WHEELING, W. VA, April 11—Negroes of this city were incensed when they learned than an unidentified white man lured a six-year old colored girl into his automobile. According to residents of Chapline St., last Saturday night a little six-year-old colored girl was playing with a rubber ball in Chapline street and missed catching it. At the time a well dressed white man, walking down the street, caught the ball and lured the child along, holding the ball out playfully with the child innocently following, until they had passed the Pythian Temple when he seized her arm and pulled her into an automobile. Having disarranged his clothing, he attempted to do likewise with the child's, who became afraid and yelled and managed to get out of the automobile. She ran to her home and told her mother who rushed out to investigate, only to find the man had disappeared. The mother immediately notified the police, and an hour later an officer appeared on the scene. It is alleged by Negroes of the city that the delay in the arrival of an officer was probably due to the color of the child, as it is said the first question asked by the officer was, the color of the child.

SUGGESTIONS ADOPTED. SOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT WORKERS' CONFERENCE TO BE RECOMMENDED FOR ADOPTION IN ANNUAL MEETING "With all thy getting get under standing." "I have kept the Lord always before me."—Bible. Brother Moderator and Co-workers, we are here to get together a pro- gram that is God given. Not a new program, but to understand together the Divine program. A little out of the ordinary, perhaps, to call you together at this time but as there is safety in a multitude of counsel, let us council upon the following things: First the financial aspect of our work. In the first place to function properly we need $2,265 For this the church only is responsible collectively and each member individually. How can this be done in one effort? By each church raising $1.25 per member annually, when this amount is equal to or above the constitutional requirement. Each church is to divide its amount between its auxiliaries. 20% to each auxiliary and 40% for the church proper or divided among the auxiliaries in proportion to the amount they raise. Out of the percentage credited each local auxiliary they are to take care of their individual state apportionment. In the next place the program. (a) The institutional program carefully prepared institutes dealing with the work of the auxiliary in which it is. The State Board. Notify each church to report with whatever is possible to send. The Sunday School State Convention. Special effort to have every Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., in the district to represent. Definite preparation for representation in our State and National Meetings. The heads of the organizations should be sent to the State and Annual Meetings and the folk should know and feel it is their responsibility. Suggestions. 1. For boards, first, Finance Committee whose duty will be to receive all money from church and to give due credit and receipt for same. 2. A committee to receive all bills, examine same and make recommendations as to the distribution of all moneys. These committees to be composed of one member from each auxiliary. 3. One secretary for Board. Thus save expenses. 4. A united constitution. 5. Smaller minute, dealing only with the spiritual, institutional and financial aspects. All secretaries of the annual meeting compile minute and have it in the hand of the proper committee within ten days and minutes to be off press in sixty days. Reduced Rates To Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress. The various passenger associations throughout the country have united in granting a reduced rate of one and one-half fares for the round trip to the Sunday School and H. Y. P. U. Congress that will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, June 18-22, 1921. All parties desiring to avail themselves of the benefit of this rate are instructed to call for a CERTIFICATE when they purchase their one way ticket to Cleveland. Turn this CERTIFICATE over to H. T. SIMS, the Secretary of the Congress, and his SIGNATURE attached thereto will enable you to buy a return ticket for one-half of the regular fare. Bear in mind that unless this Certificate is obtained before you leave home, you cannot secure it after you reach the Congress. It must be furnished by your Local Ticket Agent. The ministers and other good people are making arrangements to entertain all who may attend. This Congress will be extended by an unusually large number of messengers and visitors from all sections of the country. E. W. D. ISAAC, Director.

At 11:00 a. m., devotionals led by Bro. O. Miles. Prayer by Assistant pastor Bro. A. Miles. Scripture Luke 10.33-42; text found Luke 10.41; subject: 'Faithfulness and Idleness.' He gave us a beautiful picture of two familiar characters of the Bible: Mary and Martha. How Mary chose the better pait; and Martha has cumbered with domestical grievances of how she was preparing to entertain her guest, which was Christ Jesus. Evening devotionals led by Bro. A. Miles. Text found John 3:7; subject: 'A New Birth.' He said each of us will have to go through the divine molds of regeneration before we can be born again. Three were baptized at the close of the services.
