THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.16,No.10 SOUTHERN BAP TISTS WON'T DIS CUSS RACE PRO BLEM WITH NORTHERN BROS. SOUTHERN BAP TISTS WON'T DIS CUSS RACE PRO BLEM WITH NORTHERN BROS. (Preston News Service) ATLANTA, GA., May 22—For sometime there has been a tendency on the part of a great number of southern white churchmen as well as northern white churchmen to get together in an endeavor to come to some common understanding anent the question of dealing with the socalled Negro problem. In an effort to ascertain the attitude of southern white Baptists on the matter, it was brought before the convention here last Wednesday by the executive committee. The Convention voted its determination to handle the Negro problem in the South according to the southern white man's conception of how it should be handled without conference or consultation with the Northern Baptist Convention or any other organization. Many speakers declared that it was but a piece of impertinence on the part of northern white churchmen to endeavor to intrude themselves into the affairs of the South as respects the Negro. "We know the Negro better than anybody else and also how to handle him best. We don't need any outside advice or help in taking care of the situation" one speaker declared. The convention finally decided to more polite word the refusal to accept the proposal and went on record stating that" it would complicate a situation already delicate enough." LIEUT. COL. JOHN E.

ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES. That time will soon come when the darkened clouds and besetting obscurities of superstition and despair must be completely removed from our civilized domain? Then will men in their gracious grandeur of mental and physical activity rise to the fulness of their responsibility; and with one eye upon the dead past, the other, looking to the unknown future and with a death grip upon the living present and with a resolute decision upon striding those here-to-fore unspamable chasms, with heart uplifted yet lowly bowed in due homage to the Great Creator, will, with the vehement of the cyclonic winds burst forth into the world's silence with this determined thought: With head uplifted and heart unbowed There's something that I must do; I'll take my stand as a man in this land And go forth to conquer too. It has been done, it can yet be done By one who is a man; Since that is true and the number is so few With the will of the Father I can. FINAL WEEK FOR CONTEST.

The work of St. John Baptist Ch., is showing wonderful progress under the present administration. We feel HONOR WHERE HONOR IS DUE It has become our pleasant task to say a few words about one of the nobles characters in the State in the person of Mrs. M. D. Jones of Junction City, who just a few days was married to Mr. Chavis, a soldier of a long and aplendid record. Mrs. Jones has been with one rich family for a long while and has traveled practically all over the world, but like the Savior, these attractions did not take her mind away from God and her people; and she longed for an opportunity when she could devote more of her time to the development of her people and do more mission work. She has now found a man who loves the Lord and His Cause and she will rest on his protective arm for her support while she spend her life in putting over God's Program. Her life has been such a source of blessing until the presents and letters have been going in ever since the wedding; letting her know in a small way what she has been worth to them. She is President of the Smoky Hill River Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Convention, where she is honored to the highest for her lovable disposition and much service. It is the wishes of The Star that this couple will have a long and happy and useful life. ANTI KLAN CALL TO RACE VOTERS IN INDIANA NEW YORK, May 22—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issued a statement last Thursday over the signature of James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the association, advising every Negro voter in Indiana to make the issue of Ku Klux Klan dominance paramount in guiding his vote in the coming elections. The statement says: "The Republican nominee for Governor in the State of Indiana was nominated under the full endorsement of the Klan. There is every reason for Negro votes to be cast against candidates for office, of whatever party, who accept Klan support or indorse and represent Klan point of view with its religious bigotry, its racial intolerance and its appeal to crude mob sentiment."

Strode C. Harrison and Rev I. H. Curtis. if they can only be elected to fill one of the general offices which may prove to be a stepping stone to an honored place in the gift of the general church. The city of Louisville has been flooded with placards, streamers, circulars—in fact, every method or advertising has been used directing the delegates to vote for this man or that man, for this place or that place. To the casual observer, it would appear that the mission of the General Conference is only to elect bishops and officers, but, on the inside from the number of bills and resolutions introduced, it is to help the church, to help the race—in fact to help the whole country. Prof. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education made a report of his department. He talked about the change which had been made in ignorance and illiteracy by the universities, colleges and schools of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He represented he possibilities of the Negro youth through the door of hope opened to them through the school room. He was given an ova- such as few men receive in public office. The report which attracted unusual attention, was that if the Book Concern made by general manager, Dr. D. M. Baxter. This department for years carried a very heavy debt which was cancelled under the management of Dr. R. R. Wright who is now planning to erect a building, costing $500,000. The report showed that already the lot had been purchased, bonds being sold and a nice little balance in the hands of the management of the building fund, deposited in the bank. Prof. John R. Hawkins maintained his reputation for exactness. He handled under his administration for the African Methodist Episcopal church, $3,274,991.30, the largest amount ever handled by any secretary. There had passed through the financial department since organization, 1872 to March 31, 1924, 3,690,3016.63. So enthusiastic was the General Conference over the report, that it wass readily observed that Prof. Hawkins will be elected without opposition. Bishop W. W. Deckett reported the illness of Dr. J. W. Rankin for over two years and under direction of the Missionary Board, he had charge of the office with Miss Olive Campbell, chief clerk, and Dr. R. R.

Editor of Voice of Missions. He read the report of the department. Since the death of Dr. B. F. Watson, Miss Marie P. Thomas has been in charge of the Church Extension Department, under the supervision of Bishop John Hurst, chairman. This report showed that the department had assets to amount of $596,648.89 and the report showed increase in business. there had been much speculation concerning the report of Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. It seemed that every delegate was in his place when the time arrived for the report of Prof. Bryant. In detail it gave an account of all the financial transactions of his office, turning over to the General Conference in deed of all property showin- that it was absolutely the property of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He cleared up all doubts in the minds of the delegates. He won for himself a place when he recommends' the establishment of a home for worn out ministers; then men who having served this church for years often on starvation wages, and when unable to serve thrown out to die. He reported the home had been started on the campus of the Sunday School Union and will be finished. It seems without doubt he will be elected. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FITZWATER, DD, Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (©, 1924 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for May 25 JEREMIAH AND THE BABYLONIAN CRISIS LESSON TENNIS 14 GOLDEN TEXT — Amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God — Jer 26:12 PRIMARY TOPIC—God Saves a Brave Prophet. JUMOR TOPIC—The Story of a Brave Prophet INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC- Standing Bravely for the Right YOUNG LEOPE AND ADULT TOP IC- Jeremiah's Message to His People. 1. Jeremiah's Solemn Warning to Judah (v. 1-7). The Lord commanded him to stand in a continuous place in the Temple and proclaim the Judgment which was about to fall upon them because of their sins. The object was to provoke them to repentance (v. 3). If they would not repent, God would make the Temple as Shiloh (v. 6). Just as Shiloh was once the dwelling place of the Lord and now fallen into decay and abandoned, so will it be with the Temple. Jeremiah was sent to speak the words which the Lord had told him and not to diminish a word. H. Jeremiah on Trial (v. 611). 1. Cause of Arrest (v. 8). It was for faithfully speaking all the Lord had commanded. The one who speaks boldly what God commands shall be opposed. The time-server and self-seeker will not stand for such a ministry. The Healths and Jeremiahs must suffer. 2. The Charge (vv. 8, 9). It was a capital crime. They said, "Thou shalt surely die." His guilt according to their charge was twofold: (1) Extending to speak for God; (2) Speaking against the temple and the city. According to their charge he was guilty of blasphemy and sacrilege. The one who prophesied without God's command was to be punished by death (Dent 18:20). Blasphemy was also punished by death (Lev. 24:10). Both Jesus and Stephen were accused of blasphemy. 8. The Princes Sit in Judgment (vv. 10,11). When the excitement rent bed the cars of the princes they came to judge of the merits of the case. Matters of state were not entirely in the hands of the priests and elders, but were partly controlled by members of the royal family. III. Jeremiah's Defense (vv. 12-13). Threats of death did not deter him from preaching, but only made him repeat his message. 1. Reiterates His Dyline Commission (v. 12). He had nothing to deny, but to repeat what he had said. He plainly told them that in opposing him they were opposing God, for he was God's messenger. 2. His Exhortation (v. 19). He urged them to amend their ways and obey God, and God would not bring upon them judgment. 3. He Gave Himself Up (v. 14). He did not resist the powers of government (Rom. 11:1). Knowing that he was sent of God he was content to trust God for deliverance. 4. Warns of Dual Consequence (v. 15). He frankly told them that God had sent him, and if they killed him they would be guilty of defying God. Woe would not only fall upon them, but the nation and city would suffer. IV. Jeremiah Saved (sv. 10:24). IV. Jeremiah Saved (vv. 1624). He was acquitted. God is able to raise up friends and advocates from the ranks of those who oppose us. 1. Judgment of the Princes (v. 10) They pronounced him not guilty, as he had spoken in the mind of the Lord. Jeremiah's words convinced them that he was speaking the truth. 2. Speech of the Elders (vv. 1723). As the princes probably represented the king, so the elders represented the people. The elders plended for Jeremiah and adduced several cases in Illustration: (1) Mileah (vv. 19, 10). Mileah had prophesied against Jerusalem, but King Hezekiah instead of putting him to death, repented and thus turned inside the punishment which was impending. (2) Urjah (v. 2023). Urjah prophesied against the city and land and thus incurred the wrath of Jeholakim, who even brought him back from Egypt whence he had fled and slew him. Though all this was done, judgment was not thus thwarted. Killing Gods prophets does not prevent Gods judgment, but intensifies it. In the case of Hezekiah Gods judgments were turned aside through heeding the words of the prophet, and in the case of Jeholakim, judgment fell upon the nation because of refusal and maltreatment of the prophet. 8. Rescued by Abikam (v. 24) Abikam must have been a man of influence to be able to interfere at such a time THE LITTLE FLOCK School opened with a number of visitors. The lesson was very interesting and Rev. Sarr conducted the review. Rev. Starr preached an eloquent sermon, "Faith, Hope and Charity" B. Y. P.

ANNUAL BOARD CONVENTION (Montfured from May 2nd) Miss Mattle Bradshaw discussed: "Loyalty To Our Denomination, Its Program, and How To Operate." She thinks the constitution should `be changed. A committee should be appointed to make out a workable program for our State Meeting in Hutchinson. We should have zeal according to knowledge. Rev. J. D. Hunt discussed same subject. Love for our church above all other organizations is the only way to be loyal. If one church dismiss a member, no other church should take him in until he gets right with his first church. You must do some suffering and dying. The Bible is the Baptist Program. It is teaching and training for efficient service. Rev. H. B. Gronson discussed ed the same subject. He thinks to be loyal we must understand the principles of the denomination. The Baptists feel perfectly at home from the 1st verse of Genesis to the last word of Revelation. We give aid to all other denominations and 'cuss' our leaders because they can't put over our program. Dr. J. T. Crawford was presented by Rev. W. A. Bowren. Dr. Crawford said: if it were left with him, he would see to it that Baptists would have the finest spirit, best life and more love than any people in the world. He wished us more success. Rev. A. W. Ross, responded with well chosen words. Devotionals conducted by Mr. S. S. Hester of Pittsburg. Rev. A. L. Gardner discussed, "Loyalty to Our Denomination; to Its Program, Hop to operate." If all the sinners in the city confess, they could not join our church unless they are willing to be baptized. The pastors are too afraid of their job to demand their churches to do their duty. If you join a lodge, it can give you three degrees in one night and you will remember enough to go back and get in the next night, but when it comes to the church's causes, we can't understand. It must start in the home, then to the church, then to the district, then to the state, then to the National Convention, then to the Foreign Fields. We should not spend all the time trying to understand, but do the things we do understand. Rev. W. C. Cartwright discussed the same subject; 75% of the preachers, don't understand the the budget and people are the best they can with the amount of understanding they have. We would have money if we would conform to God's program; set two tables; one for tithes and one table for offerings. Dr. Bowren endorsed the thoughts advanced. Friday Morning. The Woman's H. & F. Mission Workers opened a spiritual devotion by Rev. M. J. Burton. Mrs. Emma Gaines, the efficient president, presiding. Rev. J. T. Elias discussed "Loyalty to Our Denomination; To its Program.

CARTWRIGHT, Sec. 401 E. 6th St., Coffeyville, Kans. DR. A. W. ROSS, Executive Sec. Route 27 Box Topeka, Kansas THE IDEAL WOMAN. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN BY PASTOR REV, S. A, WILLIAMS, ST, JOHN, SALINA What is womanhood Is not this the great important subject that every woman should consider? It should be the highest ambition of every young woman to possess a true womanhood. Earth presents no higher object of attainment, heaven rewards no greater deed. To be an ideal woman is to be the best thing beneath the skies. It is something more than to live 18 or 20 years, something more than to grow to the physical statue of a woman, something more than to wear flonces, exhibit dry goods, sport jewelry just to catch the gaze of leud eyed men. Sad indeed to say but it is true, the highest ambition of a great number of our beautiful girls and women is to attract the attention of men, and the one who can attract the most attention in their eyes is the Ideal, but to be ideal is far more than this, more than a belle of the town. Beauty nor style, neither hair nor color are the surest passports to true womanhood, some of the noblest specimens that the world has ever presented the plainest appearance, a woman's worth is to be estimated by the real goodness of her heart, the greatest of her soul, and the purity and sweetness of her character. A woman with a kindly disposition and a well balanced temper is both lovely and attractive, be her face ever so plain and her figure ever so homely. It is she who makes the best wives and the truest mothers. The ideal woman has a greater purpose in living than does her vain supercilious sister, who has no higher ambition than to illust her finery on the streets, or gratify her inordinate vanity by like wealth it has ruined its thousands. Thousand of the most extracting praises from society. Beauty is a dangerous gift, beautiful women are destitute of common sense and common humanity, and most of our beautiful girls unfortunately have their lives wrecked at an early age. There is no gift from heaven so widely abused as the gift of beauty, yet it need not be so, its charms should be used for a noble purpose, and it should be innocently possessed, for to be ideal is to be truely beautiful. The outward beauty should minister to the inward beauty, of soul which should be clothed in grace and meekness. To be ideal, one must possess a strong force of character, sisters it is within your reach to hold a steady moral sway over the opposite sex, but to do this you can't be slack, you must be firm, you must bepositive. You have it in your hands to accomplish wonderful things for the world and for God by being a true woman. God has given you great powers that you may use for the future as you have used it in the past. Some of our young girls will accept anything, some of our best girls will go with men who make no attempt to look up. Some will allow themselves to be treated in way the boy chooses, say what he thinks, and give him room to think what he pleases. Our mother, some of them will accept anything that wears pants to call on their daughters, take them anywhere and stay as late as he pleases. Perhaps he has just wrecked her neighbor's home, never-the-less he finds a welcome and sometime a hearty welcome at the door. In this late day we have stopped our children from going to the devil, but are permitting the devil to come after them and take them right before our eyes, into the various deluding fashions that drown the souls of our women in sin and destruction. Young women beware of the kind of influence you are exerting, don't allow the boys to be careless and loose with you, nor hold such conversations that are unbecoming, recent such treatment in a straightforward way, and let the opposite sex know that you will not stand for disrespect, and in time you will find that they will regard you in a different way. Do nothing at the expense of your character. You are exerting some kind of influence, your light will shine out some way, to someone, at sometime, be it red or be it white. Fair sisters, if you would be ideal, be gentle, not weak, but gentle, kind and true, and above all things let honesty, and love reign supremely in your hearts. The power lies in you to tame the opposite sex, subdue their ferocity, soften their manners, and teach them the needful lessons of order, sobriety, meekness, patience and goodness. In conclusion I, will to be ideal, cultivate love, nothing will do so much to eliminate the wrong, and build up the right as will love for God, and His people. Let kindness be your ornament, your scepter, and your crown, use it as your sword, use it to charm and to captivate by so doing you will accomplish your mission, and the world will be made better by your having lived in it.

That sermon was worth being put in the hands of ell the members, and they required to study it. The standard of giving lhe living should be raised, bht it can’t be by beginners and the un- taught teacher, Such xermons help to raise the Standard of preaching. It Is worth, while to sit an! listen to one that has a prepared message and gives it cheerfully. So many of us have not Teard anybody preach better than oursclves and we are not just sure we heard ourselves, A ser- mor but plain and slmple and forceful like that one Can’t help, but have fruit in the enriching of the ministry. | Let the programs bay for them- selves in putting on such men at all the meeting's, and it will pay old and young to stay and hear them.
