THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.16,No.6, BIG INSURANCE DEAL AMONG COL- ORED PEOPLE PERFECTED. (Preston News Service) MEMPIIS, TENN. April 25—On last Saturday the Southern Insurance Company of Nashville, Tennessee, closed a contract with M. S. Stuart, M. E. Anderson and V. L. Reuben, General Agents, by which it places under the direction of these men its entire business on colored people in the states of Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas. It will be remembered that the Southern Insurance Company was the successful purchasers of the business of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company when the same was offered for sale on February 16th. The Mississippi Life was one of the large business enterprises controlled and operated by colored people. H. E. Perry of Atlanta, Georgia, succeeded in gaining control of the said Company and then decided to sell its business to the Southern. But the Southern now desiring to encourage colored people in conducting business enterprises among themselves, has leased unto Stuart, Anderson and Reuben all of its business in the states above mentioned, for a period of ten years, to be conducted and directed exclusively by them, with the option to buy the business in the business in the said states at an agreed price at the end of any year; with the further liberal provision that 50% of the profits made from the operation of the said business shall be retained by said General Agents to be applied, if they desire, towards the establishment of a company of their own. The Southern retains the business of the Mississippi Life in Tennessee and Alabama, but in these two states all colored employees will be retained who wish to remain in the services of the Southern Insurance Company. The general offices of the Mississippi Life at 234 Hernando Street, will be retained and furnished free of cost, with all of its equipments for the use of the Stuart Agney Organization, and the employees necessary for the overation of the business in these three states will be retained under the direction of their own people. Mr. Will Harris, President of the Southern Insurance Company, was in Memphis, Saturday and stated: "That we have made this contract because we desire to give the colored people an opportunity to redeem and recover the greater part of the business herebefore written on the lives of colored people under the name of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company." All policies of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company now in force in all states in which it is operated are fully protected and guaranteed by the Southern Insurance Company with its large assets and legal reserves required by the law; and the officers are especially urging the policy holders not to sacrifice their valuable insurance protection for which they have already been paying for mony years.

ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES. That those who were present last Friday Evering when Calvary's Choir rendered the "Seven Last Words of Christ" (an Easter Cantata) were so well pleased that they requested 't be repeated. In response to the requests, it will be repeated Sunday Evening, April 7th? Those who desire to at least get an idea of something of a very high class, given by amateurs, may come to Calvary, Sunday Eve. That ideas unaccompanied by an executive suggestion is naught to the originator. So when you stumble upon an idea just keep on stumbling until you fall upon an additional thou' which shows the workability of your idea. Many people are proved to have ideas that somebody else is wrong in certain things, but they never have anything better to offer. R U guilty of this ethical breach —THINK ABOUT IT.

OBITUARY Sister Clarisa Bell Hollins, daughter of Mr. Owen and Mrs. Maria Redden was born in Hamilton Co. Texas, Oct. 25th, 1865, died April 9th at 4 p. m., 1924; age 58 years, 5 months and 19 days. She came to Kansas, with her parents in 1880 and for several years, lived in Chetopa, but later moved to Coffeyville, where she remained until her death. She accepted Christ in the Spring of 1901 and was received into the Sardist 1st Baptist Church, remaining an active member all of her life. Strictly loyal, supporting every auxiliary of the church. She has remained teacher of primary Bible Class from some years before her conversion until her death; for several years she served as treasurer of the Sunday School without a sin-shortage; for several years president of the church choir that was organized by her solicitation, served several years as secretary of the Mission Circle; president of the B. Y. P. U. since its organization the last time, and the only president who has been able to keep it active; she has been special financial agent for collecting the monies for the quarterly board meetings for many years, also assistant secretary of the church. She has been faithful and true in every position to which she has been elected. There has never been any shortage in finances that was at any time intrusted to her. She was taken ill about the first of January, 1924 and has not been able to attend a service in the church, since. For the first 3 weeks she suffered much, since then her suffering was less but her cough wore her out, and her frequent hemorrhage hastened on her end. She remained conscious to the end, greeting all who visited her with a pleasant smile; she wanted to recover, but had no dread of death; enjoyed Bible reading, songs and prayers: He Is The One; Nothing Between: and Love Lifted Me; were some of her choice selections. She made her will and passed without a struggle. A brilliant star on earth now shines with exhilarating radiant glory. She leaves a brother, one sister and a number of other relatives and friends to mourn her death. Sleep on slumbering dust, until the resurrection of the last day. DICKERSON, MISS. NEWS ITEMS NT.

He and Helen Cox --- Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P. H. FITZWATER, DD) Teacher of English Bible in the Muoty Bible in the State of Chicago (1) 1824 Western Newspaper Union AMOS AND HOSCA FLEADING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS (Temperance Lesson) LESSON TENT—Amos 6 1-8; Hosea 6 1-6 GOLDEN TENT—Hate the evil, and love the good—Amos 6 15 PRIMARY TOPIC—How Daniel Became Strong JUNIOR TOPIC—Amos Denounces Drunken Bakers YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Sins That Destroyed Israel The kingdom of Israel reached a high state of prosperity in the time of Jericho II, and with it came a condition of luxury, corruption and wickedness. Our lesson is a temperance lesson and applies to other things as well as intelligence in intoxicating liquor. Our age and nation are intoxicated with pleasure, pursuit of guilt and rebellion. I. The Sins Which Ruined Israel (Anos G.1:6) 1. Rockless Security (vv. 13) The were blind to the cells that surrounded them. They were living in a fool paradise, closing their eyes to the apprehending storm of judgment as predicated by Amos. They trusted in the mountains of Sanctuary for their protection. They regarded their city as impregnable. They no doubt regarded the utterances of Amos as the dream of a faunic. The chief ones of the nation were so puffed up with pride that they failed to read the signs of the times in the light of history (v. 2). To disregard the lesson of history by dismissing the thought of impending judgment is to bring near the seat of violence" (v. 3). 2. Luxury (vv. 44). Periods of prosperity are always characterized by corruption and luxury. The luxury of Samaritty expressed itself in (1) Extravagant Furniture (v. 4). They had beds of ivory, perhaps wood inlaid with ivory. (2) Laziness (v. 4). They stretched themselves upon their couches—living lives of indolence. (3) Fasted on delicacies (v. 4). The implication here is that they had their delicates out of season. This is what many pride themselves in. They buy what they desire regardless of what it costs in many instances men and women are living in gluttony while others are desirite. (4) Adorned their feasts with music (v. 5). They sang idle songs, even invented musical instruments for this purpose. They prostituted the noble art of music to their sensual feasts. How did the times in which we live (5) They drank wine (v. 6). They were not content with ordinary drinking vessels. They drank from bowls indicating excessive drinking. They were so mastered by the intoxicating cup that their feasts, which were adorned with the refinements of music ended in drunkenness. 3. Failure to Grieve for Joseph (v. 6). Joseph here stands for Ephraim and Manasseh, his two sons Ephraim became the principal tribe of the northern kingdom, go Joseph is used as a synonym for the nation Many are indulging in infamous luxury, entirely indifferent to the growthings of others. There is need of a modern Amos to thunder God's judgment upon all those who are living in luxury and who are at ease in Zion in the inevitable issue of such living, the prophet assures them, would be that they should go into captivity (v. 7) and their proud city be delivered up to their enemies (v. 8). II. The Remedy Proposed (Hosea 6:1-6) 1. Turn Back to God (v. 1). The only way for sinning individuals and nations to escape the judgment of God is with heartblowing sorrow to repent and return to God. Hosen as surets them that though God had torn and snuffen them he will heal and bind up if they repent. 2. Believe in His Power to Restore (v. 2). This power even extends to a national resurrection for Israel. 3. Obedience (v. 7). It is through the obedient work and communication with the Lord that they were to show His forgiving mercy. 4. The Issue (vv 3G). Such penitence would make restoration absolutely certain. Grace is even more certain than the laws of nature. Just as showers result in fruitfulness in nature, conformity with the righteous commands of the Lord will result in blessings from Him, for His Supreme desire is not for man to bring offerings of sacrifice but to wuth in the knowledge of God. The Bondage of Fear Like the cellar growing vine is the Christian who lives in the darkness and bondage of fear. But let him go forth, with the liberty of God, into the light of love, and he will be like the plant in the field, healthy, robust, and joyful. W. J. Hammond Chanute Notes.
