THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.16, No.26, B'T WASHINGTON H'-Y CLUB HOLDS RETREAT PROGRAM FOR YEAR, OUTLINED The Booker T. Washington Hi-Y Club conducted a Week-end Retreat, Sept. 13-14, at Wichita Boys' Camp. The time was spent in explaining the "Y" movement, its organic function, and the place of this—the first Colored Hi-Y Club—particular group in the Movement. Fifteen boys attended and enjoyed a relaxation, away from the noise and din of the city. The year's program, as outlined will be ready for the press next week. This club is under the Water Street Y. M. C. A. and is sponsored by that organization. It ranks as one of the leading clubs of the State and Western Region of the Young Men's Christian Association. ROLAND HAYES IN BERLIN ROLAND HAYES IN BERLIN Time Magazine, Sept 15) In Berlin some weeks ago, Roland Hayes, Negro Tenor (Time Oct 8) gave a concert. To Germans, black men are "colonials;" they encountered them in the French line during the war; more recently, in the Uhr. Learning that a member of this unpopular race was to appear publicly in their midst, Berliners were indignant. Protests were made to the American Ambassador against the "impertinence" of permitting a Negro to be heard on the concert stage, against the "lese majeste" of offering musically scrupulous Berlin the tunes of the Georgia cotton-pickers. Hayes appeared. He sang his first number over the boost of several thousand public spirited citizens who had come to witness his downfall. The house grew quiet. He sang in a group of Spirituals, then some songs in German, in French, Italian, Russian, English and one in Japanese. The applause was explosive. Leaving Germany, the dusky tenor received offers for 40 engagements next season. Now Hayes has returned to the U. S. After a month's rest, he will tour from coast to coast starting is Brooklyn. Hayes is a product of Fisk University. There he received both his college and musical training. He has studied in Boston and in Europe. ARE YOU AWARE? ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES That those things that cause the most unrest amongst the people of today are non-essentials? When will the human race reach the point of real thought in their activities? Most so-called agressive people are not really aggressive in the better sense of the term; but, rather they are spasmodic, impetuous, sensational and the like. They become heated and intense'c, while they have been only superficially impressed. We must admit that usually the first impression is the lasting one, but to the fair and thoughtful individual, more light must be given in addition to the first impression, especially if the first impression is not the best. Pessimists and unfairminded folks always have the chip upon their shoulders, and, not only do they almost invariably see the dark side of the things, but if the brightness of a proposition totally expels the darkness, and leaves the matter nxtt to unmistakably clear, this pessimistic and unfair-minded class will hinder the progress by raising some technical point which often is not worth the time spent in discussing. Common-sense generally does not prevail in our organizations of uplift when the matter of time is an element. Many times when a leader is . . . simply suggests a motion to formally carry some legitimate proposition, which could be done in one or two minutes, some grouch, some pessimist or some "Jona" will object to that loss of time, while he will make a speech five minutes trying to show that the organization is killing valuable time, entertaining the motion. This very condition is seen in most of our organizations. Any leader is worthy of considerations as to his ability to do constructive things for the people he leads, and it is not only unfair, disrespectful, unthoughtful and foolish to try to disqualify his plans which have required much thought and ardent pray, but it is also discloses the objecters' lack of a co-operative spirit and real feeling for the leader. Don't hinder the work because of NEW HOPE AND ST. PAUL CHURCHES OPENS WEEK DAY SCHOOL OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION The New Hope School is directed by Mrs. Emma Peterson and opened with a fine enrollment.

COOLIDGE-DAWES CAMPAIGN OPENED The Republican Campaign in the Eighth Kansas Congressional District to elect Coolidge-Dawes-Long and the complete Republican Ticket, will open on Thursday night, September 18th at 8 p. m., in the Forum, at Wichita. Senator James E. Watson of Indiana will deliver the principal address, while Senator Chester I. Long, our candidate for Congress, will outline ris program for the ensuing campaign. It is most important that every Republican attend this meeting and listen to this message, in order that they might be able to pass it on to their friends and neighbors and become an effective part of this campaign. To hear Senator Watson is an opportunity. He is the only speaker who has been twice before the Kansas Day Club in Topeka, and is considered throughout the United States to be the most effective political speaker in the platform today. As this is his only date in Kansas, it is your only opportunity to hear him. The success of the Republican party during the ensuing four years will be dependent upon the election of the entire Republican ticket, and the 8th District will elect Chester I. Long in November, with your cooperation. Come to this meeting yourself. Try to persuade your friends to likewise to be there. Come and get yourself the arguments which you can use to defeat the Democratic effort to beat Coolidge-Dawes Long. Sincerely, National Republican League Of Sedgewick County Kansas Richard M. Gray, Pres. Jessie M. Newman, Sec. NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION NASHVILLE, TENN, Sept. 15, The 44th Annual Session of the National Baptist Convention of America passed into history tonight as the greatest session in the history of the convention and perhaps the largest delegation—in fact it was the largest enrollment ever had and the next session will go to Baltimore; Md.; while the Sunday School and B. Y. P. I. Congres will meet in Wichita, Kansas. The convention was the guest of the Baptist churches of Nashville, and the sessions were in the Ryman Auditorium, the largest convention hall in the city, and it was taxed to accommodate the large delegation. When Dr. Williams called the convention to order at 10 o'clock and the large crowd led by Dr. Williams sang "Praise God From Whom All B'essings flow." The devotionals were conducted by Revs. M. Thornton of Alabama, S. Bates, Iowa and W. R. Forbes of Georgia. The opening Scripture lesson was read by Rev. S. Bates, of Iowa, read the Scripture lesson. Under the direction of Prof. J. C. Austin, choralist of the National Baptist Convention a chorus of one hundred voices sang, "Stand Up For Jesus." which thrilled the hearts of all. The Rev. Dr. W. R. Forbes of Georgia, made the opening prayer and the convention joined in singing, "I Heard The Voice of Jesus Say." lined by the Rev. M. Thornton of Alabama. "Sunshine in the Shadow" was sung by the convention chorus, which was followed by the calling to order of the National Baptist Convention in 4th Annual Session. Dr. Willhams said: "It now becomes my duty to announce the opening of the 44th Annual Session of the Naitonal Baptist Brian Brotherhood. Its Effects on the World, Hon. II. I Simon, Rev. A. L.

Smartt of Chicago, who is conducting a great series of meeting at Tabernacle Baptist Church pastored by Rev. Wm. McIlveen. Rev. Smartt is doing a great work for the advocacy of Christianity along the line of bringing the unsaved to Christ. One can see clearly that he is fully capable of the cause he represents. Convention. I am glad to see so many of you present. It is a big thing to be a Baptist, but it is a bigger thing to be a member of the National Baptist Convention. "We are called to order this day, as never before in the history of the Convention. We have never had a meeting like this. Death has invaded our ranks and has taken from us, the oldest officer in the convention, Dr. Andrew Jackson Stokes, our treasurer. His body is now in state in this city. God's will be done and not ours. If it is your desire to do so, his body will be brought here for funeral in a short time." Following the suggestions of Dr. Williams, the Rev. S. E. J. Watson (Continued on page four) --- DISPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School Lesson (By REV F B FITZWATER, DD Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (C. 1824, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for September 21 JESUS MAKING A MISSIONARY TOUR LESSON TEXT—Mark 1 28-48. LESSUN TEXT R 1 15 GOLDEN TEXT-Thou canst make Mark 149. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Healing a Leper JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus and the Believing Leper. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC: Jesus, the Great Physician TOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Medical Missions. 1. Jesus Praying (v. 35). After a series of most strenuous efforts, Jesus retired to a lonely place to pray. Doubtless He felt the need of having His spiritual strength recruited. He who the day before had shown His mighty power in casting out devils and banishing disease now needed to be alone with God. In order to do this He arose long before daylight. He had slept at Peter's house and withdrew to a solitary place unperceived. The very best time to pray is in the morning when our physical powers have been renewed. 11. Found by Peter (vv. 36, 37). Ils work of the preceding day had made such a profound impression that the multitudes sought Him. Since the people were so aroused the disciples thought that it was the opportune time to press the campaign. For that reason Peter, and perhaps Andrew, James and John, eagerly sought Him and told Him what the multitudes were doing. III. Preaching in Other Towns (vv. 38, 39). The great Missionary persisted in His program despite the success which had attended His efforts at Capernaum. Popularity in a given place is not the criterion by which to deter mine the wisdom of remaining there. He preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee and cast out demons, for it was for this very purpose that He came forth from the Heavenly Father. IV. Jesus Heals a Leper (vv. 40-45) This deed is highly significant. It not only shows His mighty power and divine love but it is symbolical. Leprosy is a type of sin. (1) It was defiling. The leper was an outcast because of this defilement. Sin banishes from the presence of God. (2) It was incurable. There was no cure for leprosy. Only God could cure it. So there was but one remedy for the cancellation of guilt—the removal of man's sin—that is the cross of Christ. (3) It is contagious. It spreads from one to another. Segregation was necessary in order to keep it from spreading. Sin is contagious. (4) It is in the blood. Sin is hereditary. 1. His Great Need (v. 40). This called him to break through all ceremonial regulations and cast himself at the Savior's feet. The sinner's great need should cause him to break through all barriers and cast himself at the feet of Jesus. 2. His Request (v. 40). He was quite sure of Jesus' ability to cure him. He knew quite well that no human physician could do this but he was somewhat doubtful as to His willingness. We can be assured today, not only of His ability, but His willingness. 3. The Compassionate Lord (v. 41). He put forth His hand and touched the leper. Only the divine Lord could touch a leper and not be defiled. Accompanying the touch was the declaration of His willingness to heal. No doubt this greatly strengthened the leper's faith but startled the people who looked on. 4. An Immediate Cure (v. 42). Divine healing is always instantaneous and complete. This is the outstanding difference between divine healing and the so-called "faith healing" 5. His Stern Charge (vv. 43, 44) Christ dismissed him with a strict charge that he should not make this known. The reason for this was that wide publicity would create such excitement as to interfere with His preaching. Furthermore, he was still ceremonially unclean. His going to the priests with a proper offending would indicate his regard for the laws and customs of Moses and therefore disarm prejudice. 6. Willful Disobedience (v. 45). Instead of rendering grateful obedience he blazed it abroad and thus hindered the Lord's work. Thus we see that the stupid self will of one man may prevent many from bearing and seeing the blessings of the Lord's preaching and healing. The candor of a child, unconscious of its own beauty and seeing God clear as the daylight, is the great revelation of the ideal - Itenan. God's Stewards God owns, man possesses and controls. We are God's stewards.-Baptist Standard.

Brown will grow stronger in wisdom and in knowledge. We pray that he will live on and on. Again, we are glad to say that our pastor, Rev.

Morning and afternoon services were held in the Oakdale Park in the spacious Claflin Hall. Pastor Williams delivered a glorious sermon from the 1st Division of Psalm; theme, "Four Things that Christians should Take the Time to do Each Day." He only discussed two of the things which were, 1st, Christians should take time to allow the Lord to talk with them each day; we allow Him to talk with us by reading His Word, which we should do daily. 2nd, Christians should take the time to talk with God each day. It is thru prayer that we come in close contact with God. This was indeed an excellent sermon. At one o'clock an old fashioned dinner was served to all present and a very joyful time was spent. At 3 p. m., we assembled again in Claflin Hall where services were held. Dr. H. H. Wilson, acting as Master of Ceremonies. An excellent program was rendered.

NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION BY CHARLES STEWART (Continued from page 1) of Chicago, moved the suspension of all business and the order of services in order to have the funeral of Dr. Stokes. The Memorial Program was announced, and the officers of the convention were appointed active pall bearers, while the secretaries and members of the boards were the honorary pall bearers. "A Charge To Keep I Have," was sung, and the Rev. Boyd of Alabama offered prayer. As the corpse was carried to the altar, the choir sang, "Neater My God to Thee;" and Dr. J. C. Jackson of Conn, lined the first hymn, "Servants of God Well Done." prayer was offered by Dr. Chas. H. Parrish of Kentucky and the Rev. Dr. P. James Bryant, read appropriate Scripture lesson, "Lead Kindly Light" was the next hymn by the choir and congregation. Remarks were made by the assistant pastor of Dr. Stokes, telling of his seeming presentment of his death, and his expression to attend the convention in his casket. Dr. L. B. Brown of Los Angeles, spoke of the wonderful work which Dr. Stokes had done in the short time he was in California. Dr. T. O. Fuller, assistant secretary read the eulogy. "Go Preach My Gospel Saithe the Lord;" was sung, led by Dr. S. E. J. Watson, following which Dr. R. T. Pollard. President of Selma University preached the funeral sermon from text, "In My Father's House are Many Abidmg Places." John 11:2; said that Jesus prayed for unity, the sanctification and the final abiding place for His people. He said that the nature of the work done in the world would largely determine the character of the heavenly . abode. "Heaven is the abode of the glorified raits," he said. "And there is ample room for all. Jesus died for men because He loved men." Dr. Walter H. Brooks of Washington, D. C., made remarks. He spoke on the life and character of the late Andrew Jackson Stokes, the man whose life was spent for his people. He was followed by Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, who paid tribute to his comrade, his fell'ow workman in the cause of the Master. "Waiting For Me," was sung. The congregation stood while the remains were carried out The Rev. S. B. Butler, Indiana, offered a motion which was carried adopting the program as arranged by the executive committee. Dr. J. G. Austin of Pittsburgh, president of the Pennsylvania Baptist State Convention, and chairman of the Foreign Mission Board, delivered the opening addresses on the Motto Theme, "The Conquering Christ—In Missionary Activities." He said. "Christ as a conquerer was what John wanted to see and a great truth he wanted established in the churches of Asia Minor and throughout the world. It is John's darkest hour. He is an exile on the island of Patmos for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ."

Persons and things, causes and events appropriately represented passed successively across the scene of the ages enacting their part until the drama was consumed by the setting of the judgement throne, the rewarding of good and evil and the death of time.

Representing the 4,000,000 communicants of the Baptist denomination the gathering will be always one of the important conventions of the year. By their continuing devotion to the interest of charity and of education alone with those of religion, the members of this community have contributed greatly to the humanitarian as well as the spiritual advancement of the nation.
