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 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.

He is an exile on the island of Patmos for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ." Patmos was a prospective point where John stood a solitary spectator of the stupendous secrets of time and eternity. 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. "John having been strengthened by a divine touch, was carried higher that he might receive great evidence of His Master's power and assured conquest, Thus upon the elevator of faith he was snatched before an open door into God's great court room, where he could hear and are the delivery of justice, the pardings of mercy and the honores bestowed upon the Christ of our soul as He weet fort and returned from the fields of bloody conflict. "The mysteries of heaven, earth and hell present past and future, were developed, personified and acted before Him. Looking into the indiscribable city, he beheld behind a vast sea of limpid crystal a great throne charged with electric fire and vocal with thundering and voices. Upon the comingling and magnificent colors of Jasper and Sardine. Around the throne were seated twenty-four old men cothed in white raiment and crowned with diadems of gold, while out before the throne stood the seven serpents of God or the seven angels ready to go as swift messengers. WELCOME ADDRESSES. Addresses of welcome Followed. Dr. W. F. Powell, pastor of the First Baptist Church, the oldest church in Nashville, represented the white Baptists. He said that he welcomed the Baptists for what they had been, what they were and for what they were going to be in the future. He presented to the Convention, perhaps the oldest living Baptist woman in Nashville, the oldest member of the First Baptist Church, over 75 years a member, and she was over a hundred. When the colored Baptists were set aside, she did not leave or move her membership. The Rev. Dr. W. Lawrence Campbell, delivered an address of welcome on behalf of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Nashville, and he was followed by Dr. R. B. Roberts, who represented the State Convention of which he is president. His welcome was to the state. Dr. W. H. H. Lernagin of Washington, D. C., president of the National Race Congress read the following letter from President Calvin Coolidge: "I have just learned that the National Baptist Convention is to meet Nashville, September 10. Please be good enough to extend to the members of the convention my greetings and wishes for successful meeting. 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. That this year's convention may give further imputus to their fruitful activity is my earnest wish." On motion made by Dr. A. T. Stewart, of Texas, the rules were suspended and a committee appointed authorized to send a reply to the letter from the President of the United States.

The police of Nashville, are here to serve you, to direct you over this city. And I have so instructed the chief of police. I welcome you to Nashville, because your people have helped my people to build back the South to where it is today. "No, man of my race has any right to look down on your people for what one or two people have done, nor should your people condemn us for the act of a few people in the South. We ask only the protection of the flag, and we believe in giving protection to all. "We believe in the protection of life property, limb and home.
