THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE State Historical Society, W. E. Daeon TH FOR Vol.16, No.33. NEGRO YOUTH MAKES THRIL- LING RESCUE NEGRO YOUTH MAKES THRIL- LING RESCUE WITH RECKLESS COURAGE ENTERS BURNING BUILDING, SAVES LIVES ATLANTA, Ga. Nov. 6—Southeastern newspapers are well poised claiming the heroism of Paul Russell of this city, a Colored youth who early Sunday morning repeatedly entered the home of his employer, Mrs. Z. II. Culpepper, on West Pepper tree street who occupied a second floor room at a burning building and saved the lives of three people asleep within Russell awoke to find the lower part of the house beething in flames. Cut off the stairs, he leaped to the ground His first thought was for the other occupants of the house, Mrs. Culpeper and her the grandchildren, seven and nine years of age. Bursting through a window into their room, he found them asleep, unconscious of their danger. Catching up the two children Russell bore them through the window to safety, then went back into the room and rescued Mrs. Culpepper. Learning that there was a trunk in the room containing valuable paper he broke away from bystanders who sought to hold him back, climbed thru the window again and brought the trunk out. With every entry into the flaming building, said the fire chief, he had taken his life into his hands. The next day the story of Russell's heroism was on everybody's lips. The local papers and the Associated Press featured the story and the Constitution carried the youth's picture, along with that if the family he had caved. The local interracial committee is investigating the case, with the view of recommending Russell for a medal. A MEETING OF SUCCESS Calvary Baptist Church has been again blessed with a great revival. Rev. S. A. Williams of Salina conducted the meeting. The Salina pastor proved to be a great blessing to our church and community. He was heard each night by large audiences and with increasing interest The preacher's mild and yet firm disposition together with his deep conviction of truth. Concealment and implicit faith in God makes him evidently fit for the Evangelistic field. The objective of the Evangelist is to make known to a lost world the Crucified Christ, and after all the best preacher is the man who can most convincingly and persuasively show Christ to men and get a decision for Christ from men. More than forty made the Eternal choice during the meeting. Pastor Williams proved a help to the church in every way. Judging from his splendid services here, I would not hesitate to recommend him where ever real Evange little work is desired. Youre, J. W. Hayes Grant Memorial Notes The Sunday School was very well attended at 9.30 a.m. Some of our teacher was a little tardy. The ser- vices war fair in morning, but at night a real good crowd came from all parts o the city to hear the word of God. The choir was at its best. They sang very sweetly. All present enjoyed the sweet music. Stewartess board No. 1 will meet at the passo- rage Thursday at 2:00 p.m. Each member is expected to be present. We are living up trying to get the church work going at once, every phase of it. Come and see us. B. F Bunks, Pas. H. W. Newton, Sec. HERRINGTON, KANS Shiloh Baptist Church is still on the REV.S.A.WILLIAMS GREAT REVIVALIST It is a fact that Rev. S. A. Wil- liams, in a twelfth of evangelist's campaign at avary Baptist Ch. proved himself worthy as a preacher and revivalist. The effectiveness of the Gospel delivered by him was like 16 magic, it drew and convinced sinners and stirred the christians to blazing holy fire. His name is the sacred memory of the city. They say: "I have never seen or heard the truth that way." Be it known that he is a great preacher and is used mightily for God. MEETING AT HOLTON, KANS.

CONNELLSVILLE,PA It has been sometime since I have spoken through your great Race paper. But I have not forgotten you yet; neither have I gone to sleep on the issues of today. In the East, we are facing many big problems, which are effecting our Race as never before. And it requires every man and woman of any insight and ability to combat the many evil things that are coming against the Race. It seems to me that as our people move about this dear old Country of our, the land which we have helped to build and make it worth while to live in; the land which we have fought, died and bled for, brings many perplexing problem to be combatted. And, I am wondering as to the cause of it all. Is it all on our part that this trouble aries? Or is it the other fellow, who is against us? Is it the sins that we are committing in this land? Or what is really the trouble? Dear friends:—These are great questions in the East and someone, who is in position ought to endeavor organizations in the East; and they to answer them. We have our great are well attended; and seemingly supported by the members of our race. These organizations are putting up hard fights against these evils, but it appears to me that the condition is growing worse each day. On Monday October 27th, the Connellsville Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., held a great Mass Meeting at the Union Baptist Church and rendered a very timely program. The main speaker for the occasion was Dean William Inchen, the Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. of New York City. He, with great eloquence, stressed the purpose of Negro organizing, and its accomplishment of the past, present and what it will determine in the future. In fact, he covered himself with with the greatest of Oratorical honor. He related to us that segregation, Disfranchisement, and the Ku Kluxism are finally moving northward, as fast as time permits. He also suggested for the evils coming upon us as a race. I am with him in his suggestions, but the great question that is in my mind is, who is willing to make the fight? And are we able to make the fight? As a pastor for more than 16 years of my life; having the privilege of meeting many of these condition squares in my path, I shall say with due respect to all con- FRIDAY, NOV. 7, 1924 RACE MAN GETS JUDGEMENT A- GAINST STREET CAR COMPANY RACE MAN GETS JUDGEMENT A- GAINST STREET CAR COMPANY (Preston News Service) MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 7—Samuel Hicks, got a verdict at the hands of a jury in Judge Laughlin's court Wednesday morning for $960 against the street car company and Mrs. E. A Phillips jointly for a collision that occurred at Rayburn and Gilbert sts. It seems that a street car knocked Miss. Phillip's car against the wagon of Hick's at the curb while they all were headed in the same direction. Mrs. Phillips claimed that the st. car was at fault for the original collision and the street car company tried to prove that she hit the street car first in trying to go between it and the wagon. The jury seems to've taken what they both cortended with a grain of salt and hold then both for the injury to Hicks and to have given him all that he contended for. Mrs. Phillips and the street car company must pay Hicks jointly. AGED MISSIS- SIPPIAN DIES (Preston News Service) BILOXI, Miss., Nov. 6—John Harrison, said to be aged 104 years, died here Monday morning after a short illness. He is said to have been regarded as one of the odest persons in this section of the country. Harrison was a native of St. James, La. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR! WOULD BAN IG- NORANT MINIS- TRY IN CHURCH (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON. D. C., Nov. 6-J. Stanley Durkee, of Howard University, in an address before the Eight Annual Convocation of the school of region, declared that it must be made difficult for ignorant, idle men, gifted with more gab, to hold and establish little church organizations in small, poorly-vent.lated rooms. He pointed out among the definite achievements of the convocation was the stressing of the importance of a program for the development of an intelligent ministry among Colored people. Dr. Sterling N. Brown depored the sad fact that so few college trained Colored men entered the ministry. Other speakers brought out an idea to the effect that the Negro Spiritual Leadership must be placed in the hands of an intelligent ministry before Racial progress can be made. According to figures submitted it was stated that there is one clergyman for 165 Negroes, while among the whites there is one for every 815 of their population. cern, that all of the blame is not on the other fellow, nor is it all on the race. I feel very keenly that, a great deal of this trouble is due to the lack of good department, religious principles, and fireside training among our own ranks. I am in direct accord with a full development of our race; its highest efficiency along all lines. But I am not in accord with our many uncalled for lacking on our part as a race. We are leaving many of the Fundamentals of our stedwardships behind and are rapidly taking up the reedmight low principles of this present day. As long as we drift down this dark and unsafe road, we shall never be able to stem the mighty tide of the onrushing couples upon, no matter, whether in the South, North, East, or west. Let us get back to the fire, and take a permanent stand, and I truly believe that we will have a better chance to win. Yours for the cause, Rev, L. D. Stevens. RACE'S FOREMOST ORATOR SPEAKS Hon. Charles Sutchell Morris, Jr. proved his ability as one of the best orators in America at the Calvary Baptist Church in La. Thursday night on the subject: "The Measure of A Man." His thoughts were heavily hidden with truth, selected words and clear logic, made soothing and yet everlasting by his oratory in the 1910 minds of his audience. He sent forth everythought on the wings of eloquence, floating on the air of flowery figures of speech. He gave us five measurements inthe standard of a man,viz: 1. Character. 2. Courage. 3. Faith. 4. Aspiration. 5. Loyalty. No man, woman or child could have listened to this orator without, feeling inspired to move on upward. He is in a class to himself. Chanute, Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Smith and grand daughters, Misses Goldener and Bardie Lea of Cheryville, were visitors, with Mr. and Mrs. F. Williams on Sunday. They enjoyed a very delightful evening. Miss Sanders of Coffeyville was visiting with the Washington Sisters on Sunday. The Masqueade Party given by the ladies of Eastern Stairs, was well attended; 125 present. Master Luke Ponder and Miss Baby Wits were the prize winners. The political meeting called by Prof E. A. Ward was one of the greatest in the history of the city. Mr. Ward well informed our race and they all pledged to fall in line behind Coolidge for President of U. S. Wh'te for Governor of the State. Many citizens were present and gave high compliments to the people of our race for there unification for voting. Pastor Branch and a number of his followers motored to Iola, to assist in the church rally. Rev. Branch delivered a wonderful sermon, theme: "Pay Day for Laborers," Matt. 20.8. The people of the Baptist Church and their zealous pastor, have learned a battle against sin and are now inviting the public to attend the revival and help build the kingdom of God. Rev. Branch has the credit of being a revival pastor and has the courage of his conviction that there will be no failure God. Cherryvale News Notes.

WICHITA, KANSAS. It is the effort of every thriving community to attract progressive and worth-while gathering to hold their "Get-to-gethers" with them. Many are the cities that pride themselves in their ability to attract representative gatherings. This has been ever true of wide-awake peoples. Wichita spends over a hundred thousand dollars each year, with the featuring of: Wheat Shows, Air Congress, Live Stock Show, Poultry Show, Fraternal Gatherings, and Business Congress and Conventionh. Tulsa (Colored Men) spent close on to five thousand dollars to bring the 1925 Session of the Business League to their city; and willspend that much more for their comfort and entertainment. While the Colored Citizenry of Wichita has been called upon to entertain State Gatherings of varied natures, and kinds; they are being called upon for the first time to cooperate in providing for a great National Convention, of some three thousand delegates, besides some two thousand followers—The National Sunday School and Dept at Young People's Congress. They will come to Wichita in Mid-June. These Young People and their Leaders represent some of the Best Families and homes in the Nation. They are to be our guest—in spite of the fact that they will be paying their way. How well we take care of them will determine just what the reputation of our city shall be throughout the Nation. LET US DELIVER! This Gathering pays two dollars per day for entertainment—Bed and two meals. They will be in the city six days. There are five thousand of them. Five Thousand people paying $2 00 per day, for six days represents: 2x6x5000, which is $60,000. In addition to this, there will be Street Car fares; Taxi and Bus Tares; Barber Service; and a host of minor items that will run up into another $5,000 00. Now, my fellow townsmen, are we going to wait until March or April; or are we going to begin now, to improve our homes, cleanup our surrounds, apply paint; and make ready to give these visitors value for money they spend in our community! There will be other items on this subject, in future numbers of this paper. Tabernacle Baptist WM. McILVEN, PASTOR WM. McILVEEN, PASTOR Sunday School at 9:00 a.m. Much interest was shown, the Supt.

Added to this, was their awful physical hunger. This condition roused the savior's pity. This is true of the multitude today. The crowd surges about as daily as shepherdless sheep. There is no one to care for them. Then, too, they are ignorant. Sin has so thoroughly blinded them that they are not conscious of their lost condition. Down deep in their hearts is a hunger for truth and God. The millions of earth are hungering for Christ, though ignorant of their real needs. 11. The Lord's Conference With the Disciples Touching the People's Need (5:0). This was not done for His benefit, for He knew what He would do (v. 6). He is equal to any occasion. His object in this conference may be summed up as follows: 1. To teach them their sense of obligation to the multitude. Men are slow to recognize their obligation to the great shepherdless multitude. We need to be taught the wonderful truth that God has made man His partner in the salvation of the world. We are workers together with God (II Cor. 6:1). It is a most solemn obligation to co-operate with Him in saving the millions who are groping in darkness. 2. To teach them their true helplessness in the face of such great needs. The loaves and fishes were as nothing in the presence of five thousand men besides women and children. Well might Andrew exclaim, "What are these among so many?" We may plant and water, but the increase comes enthilys from God. 3. To teach them that their sufficiency is from the Lord. The mission worker needs to know that Christ is the only source of supply. Without Him we can do nothing (John 15:1-8). We can no more curry on the work ourselves than the branch can bear fruit without the vine. The branch supplies the life and strength for the production of fruit. Philip's arithmetic is of no use in the face of such need. The Lord Jesus has all power. III. The Lord's Method of Accomplishing His Work (v. 10-13). We observe here the orderliness of Christ's work. He pauses to give thanks for their scanty supply, teaching us that we should always bring our abilities and gifts to God, that He might blers them to His use. I. The Lord's part was to bless and break the bread; yes, even to create the needed supply. This part the disciples could not perform. The Lord must begin the work. The same kind of brend was provided for all, rich and poor, young and old, women and children. 2. The disciples' part was to distribute that which He had blessed and consecrated. This is true of the missionary today. His part is to take from the hands of the Lord that which He has blessed and consecrated, and distribute it among the starving multitudes. We are not responsible for the supply; but we are responsible for its distribution to all those who are burgaring and perishing for the bread of life. 3. The people's part was to sit down and eat. They had no part in the provision, neither its distribution; but only to take from the hands of the disciples and eat. This is an illustration of the part obedience plays in our salvation. "When all had eaten to the full, much was left," illustrating the superabundance of Christ's salvation. IV. The Effect (v. 14). The people recognized Him at once as the Prophet who should come. They believed Him for His works sake. Death's but a path that must be trod, if men would ever pass to God.— Thomas Parnell. Merely being located in the right direction doesn't allow you any place.

It uses nothing but the best and takes more care in putting it together, so that it will stand forever. Right looks right, acts rights, lasts right, so take your time and God will help you to get right. DID the election go to suit you? Is the question most asked in our city of nearly 100 000 people. A very few can say wholly so, but the man who wanted to do the thing that would be for the best of all concerned, thinks that maybe it was God's way: that he did not know all things and maybe it was for the best, if so he says with reverence.

At the morning services, 11:00 a.m., our pastor did not preach the usual sermon. A general testimonial meeting was held. The holy sacrament was also administered. Our pastor, Rev. R. L. Pope preached at evening from the subject: "The Two Roads." There was a good attendance at Sunday School session at 9.45 a.m. "The Prodigial Son," was the interesting subject of the Bible study, and in reviewing the lesson showed that it should be impressed upon our minds that our Father is always waiting to receive, forgive and restore. Invitation is extended to all to come out and attend these services. Bishop W. Sampson Brooks is expected to be present with us and preach Sunday morning, Nov. 16th. The Ladies of the Booster Club held a very successful cooked food sale Saturday at the Court House Pharmacy. The Ladies Aid Society held their meeting Wednesday afternoon. Calvary Baptist News. REV. J. W. HAYES, PASTOR Bible School largely attended in both divisions. Several new scholars enrolled. All are welcome. At 11:00 o'clock a large crowd listened to a wonderful sermon by Rev. S. A. Williams, the evangelist, who is assisting the pastor in a soul saving campaign. At the close of this service nine men and women, girls and boys took a decided stand for Christ. Both Unions were well attended at 0:00 o'clock. Rev. S. A. Williams was present and made some very instructive remarks and Rev. Jeltz sang several selections. In the evening service, Rev. Williams announced as a text, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was from God and the Word --- The Negro Star-for the good of the people was God," John 1:1; subject: "The Bible, this was indeed a great message. At the close of the message several came forward for prayer and five united with the church. Rev. Jelt., the great Gospel singer, added much to the meeting. On Tuesday night the seating capacity of the church was taxed to its full strength to accommodate the crowd that gathered to her Rev. Williams in his closing message. He chose as a text Mark 1:9: "And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized of John in Jordan, from which he preached a doctrinal sermon. Many hearts were made to rejoice as he spoke to the people out of the depth of his soul. Two were restored to fellowship with the church. During the nine nights, Rev. Williams has been with us, twenty-six persons accepted Christ as their personal Savior an nine were restored to fellowship with the church. Twelve of the twenty-six were baptized by the pastor Tuesday night. Thus went into history one of the greatest soul saving campaigns Calvary has ever experienced. Rev. S. A. Williams is one of the successful pastors of our State. May he live long, to demonstrate and preach the Gospel. Is the servant prayer of Calvary. DON'T FORGET SINGING CONTEST for the B. Y. .
