THE N. GRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 16, No. 36, LIBERIAN CONSU LATE GENERAL IN THE U. S. A. 828 North Carey St., Baltimore, Md. November, 20, 1924. My dear Mr. Editor: I am asking you to give publicity to this act of benevolence to the colored Americans traveling from the United States to the Republic of Liberia. On and after the 21st of September, 1924 all presports of N. Newes sailing from any part of the United States with the intention of landing in Liberla shall be vised by the Consulate General at Baltimore, Maryland. All Liberian consuls in the United States except the consul general at Baltimore are, until otherwise ordered, hereby prohibited from issuing vises to Negroes or colored people desiring to sail for Liberla. Observance of these instructions will save prospective emigrants from much trouble and embarrassment. ERNEST LYON, Liberian Consulate General, In the United States. It was the good pleasure of the President of the State B. Y. P. U. Convention to be present on a special invitation by pastor Rev. C. A. Hall, at the services of the Mt. Erie M. B. Church, where the services were highly spiritual all day. The Pastor preached two fine sermons. We found Bro C. A. Finrey head of the Sunday School and really doing good work. His school is very much alive. We also found Bro. W. L. Lightvey bringing things to pass in the B. Y. P. U. They rendered a very fine program and in many points stand head of most Unions in the state. The B. Bile drill was wonderfully conducted by Bro. Finney The young people cary songs, solos, duets, recited and taught sections with much enthusiasm. We found many outstanding characters in this town and church. Mrs. Mollie Robinson and her brother, Rev. Livingston and many others. Mrs. Richard took care of us the first night and was very nice to us. Much credit it should be given Rev. Hall for the spiritual life that exists with these people. CRADLEROLL TALK By Mrs. S. A. Fitzhugh, Kansas City. By Mrs. S. A. Fitzhugh, Kansas City. Julia Hodges Lewis, asked this question long ago: "If you were going on a trip however long or short, would you select the road that had no track for first three miles, that expected the train to make the best time possible over untrified land and hit the rail's three miles from the station in perfect condition, ready to rush on to its destination?" yet that is just what the most refutable and conserved Sunday school workers did for many years, unwieldful of the well-known cry of the Romanists that if they had the children for the first seven years, others could take them. Three or four previous years of our children's lives were untouched by Sunday-school. Now since the vision of a primary teacher, a woman in New rey, in 1877 has unfolded into a section of diviny relationship, gradually the Sunday-school has realized the necessity for a department to bridge the gaps from birth to the time the children can come to the school, not only for the sake of the children themselves but as a constant regular feeder to the active school membership. Every agency that adds to the active school should be of permanent value to the church, but there are ways in which a cradle roll can be of material help to the church aside from the school. As Baptists, is is the one branch of the work through which the church can been its hands and hold upon the infant in the households of its membership. Mrs. R. T. Sims has the vision in a grester sense and realized the great (Continued on page 4) MISSIONARY WATSON IN THE EAST MISSIONARY WATSON IN THE EAST Connellsville, Pennsylvania. I would consider my efforts to Gospel minister not to mention the visit of Mrs. F. B. Watson, our returned Missionary from Africa, to the city of Connellsville, Pa. You know, there is no one who lives in the dear old state of Kansas, nor anywhere else, who knows Sister Watson and her great work, better than I do and for that reason, if for no other, I shall tell you of her visit to the Union Baptist Church of this city. On Tuesday evening, Nov. 18, at 8 o'clock, there was an envious congregation awaiting the appearance of this great woman. Her train was a little late arriving, but at 8:30 she put in her appearance as promised. Although somewhat tired, nevertheless she was full of the Holy Spirit and the Fire. After a brief devotion conducted by the church choir, the pastor proceeded to introduce her to the large congregation which awaited her. She in turn thanked the pastor for the introduction given her and plunged into her subject, as a great fighter for the cause of Christ. I need not tell you that she went over the top, for you know her, well, know about what she did with her subject. When she was through, the pastor did not have to say a word of praise in behaf of the speaker, nor did he have to press upon the people's to give an offering to her for the Cause. The only thing he had to say was that the hour had come for Sister Watson to retire for the evening to take her rest for the big day tomorrow in Pittsburgh, Pa., and asked each person who enjoyed the message, come without singing and give to this needy cause. Within a few minutes $100 03 even was laid on the table. She thanked the members and friends for their offering and bade them goodnight. This ended a great service for the Mester's Cause in Africa The Union Baptist Church is a strong supporter of The Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention, as well as a supporter to the National Convention. This church gives $500 00 per year for Mission a'one. May God bless Sister Watson, as she winds up her work in this country to soon take the ship for the Foreign Land. Let us all pray for her. Yours truly, L. D. Stevens, Pastor, Mrs. Mary L Washington, Clerk. COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING SERVICE At St. Mary Baptist Church, with Rev. J. E.

GREAT BOARD MEETING GREAT BOARD MEETING Great Bend, Kansas, Nov. 13, 14. '24 Southwest District Missionary Baptist Association and Auxiliaris, held one of the most constructive Board Meetings in the history of the organization, here, we are proud to announce to the world. It was by charge that the meeting came to this place as it was set to meet in Dodge City, Kans. but circumstances caused the charge and it came to the mother church where this district work was first organized. This is a wonderful set of people here rained by Rev. J. T. Raimey, an old sage. The McDonalds, Brown's, Sellers, Crowders, Johnsons, Stephens, and many others are outstanding characters in the work of the Master- The meeting opened with Pres. C. E. Woods, presiding and the Ministers and D. acens' had a great meeting Rev. O. W. Freen an led the devotions Church democracy was d scussed from three angles: The Requita Necesary to It, by Rev. J. W. Hayes, who was thoughtful in his message. Its Origin, Rev. B. L. Marchant, who likewise brought many things to think about. It Bithia Extent, Rev. N. J. Stokes fed us from thus said the Lord about His Church. The General survey was taken care of by Mr. H. T. Sims. The B. Y. P. U. Session was very badly cut into by the airing of the new Constitution, but we think it means much in the future to the work. Mrs. Carrie Anderson, the president, was very patient. Mrs. F. Cook, Mrs. A. L. Case and Rev. M. S. Jones were standing ready to the subject "What is Expectd of Our Pastor; What we Should Expect of the Pastor and What the Pastor Expects of the Workers." Rev. J. W. Johnson delivered the sermen in the place of Rev. V. C Cooper and it was a great message; he surprised the whole audience. The Sunday School Session was presi led over by Mrs. Mae W. Buckner, with theme: "Leadership Training in Christian Education." We enjoyed the remarks by the president and were benefited by the prepared messages from Miss Mary Smith, Great Dane Rev. N. J. Stokes of Pratt and Mr. I. T. Sirs of Wichita, on the subject: "The Efficient Local Superintendent (1)To Home School; (2)To the Distri ct; and (3)To State and National Works. Rev. C. E. Woods elved a powerful sermon from Deut. 6:7. It was a prepared message and well delivered. Mrs. I. F. Bates prelaid over the Women's Session and it was instructive. Rev C. E. Woods discussed "How to Interest the Whole Church In Mission," and we were convinced that it will take new incentives now, sir. Ha I.

CARVER'S CHEMISTRY ASTOUNDS AUDIENCE Discoveries are Revealed by God, the Professor Tells Women's Missionary Society. (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 26- Dr. George W. Carver, a Negro professor of Tuskegee Institute and son of an ex-slave, spoke Tuesday afternoon at the forty-second anniversary celebration of the Women's Board of Domestic Missions of the Reformed Church of America, held at the Marble College Church, and astounded the large assembly with his discoveries in agricultural chemistry. He brought exhibits of his discoveries from the Alabama school founded by Booker T. Washington, showing how he had produced 100 useful products from the sweet potato, including mint, starch, vinegar, ink, shoe blacking and molasses and 165 products from the humble peanut. He said that his discoveries were a direct revelation from God, that he had no great mind, and that he never used even a book in his laboratory. He said the moment God revealed a discovery to him the method came with the idea. In half an hour after the idea was revealed to him, he said he produced the yolk of an egg from a Porto Rican sweet potato. It was brought out at the meeting that although Dr. Carver was poorly paid, he had refused the offer of a princely salary from Thomas A Edison, who wished to have the professor join his laboratory staff at Orange, N. J. He also has refused offers from others, preferring to remain with his own people and help them solve economic conditions in the South. A large factory is now being erected outside Tuskegee, where paint is to be produced from the sweet potato. "I've never received any money for my discoveries," Dr. Carver said, "Lombardo who had benefited by one of my products from the peanut, sent me $100 the other day, but I sent it back to him." His most important and most recent discovery in a peanut product is a pulmonary remedy, which he revealed at Tuesday's service for the first time. While Dr. Carver would not admit that he was on the trail of a discovery for the cure of tuberculosis, he declared that his new product, which he called a creosote solution, was a step forward for the treatment of all pulmonary troubles, and that it was a food as well as a medicine. He showed that it was perfectly easy to emulsify creosote with the peanut product. The whole difficulty in chemistry up to now, he said, had been to find something with which creosote would emulsify. Some in the audience tittered when the professor began to talk about the peanut. First he showed how, with the arrival of the boil weevil evil, the South was looking for some other morey crop than cotton; then how the sweet potato 'set the soil useless' while the peanut fortified it. He also recommended the peanut as a musel builder to those who wished to avoid fattening products like the sweet potato. Thirty-two Kinds of Milk In Peanut "I reckon some of you folks don't think so much of the peanut," he said. "Why, I've discovered that two dif- Function." Dev. J. E. Douglas canped the climax with a sermon, "The Boy that Stayed at Home." He let the Prodigal Son alone, but he certainly fixed the boy that stayed at home to our lives and activities in the church. President J. W. Hayes presided over the Association Board proper and much business was transacted Missionary M. S. Jones reported and M. H. T. Sims spoke on "How to Best Prepare Ourselfs for the S.

Friday, November 21, 1924 marked a most notable event in the commercial history of Chicago, among our people—the opening of the Chicago Branch Supply Station and Beauty Parlor of "Poro" College located at 4411 Grand Blyd. The Chicago Supply Station is housed in a modern three-story brick and stone building with office, supply rooms, library, living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor; bed rooms and bath on second floor; dormitory on third floor which will be used to accommodate employees and others who may desire transient accommodations. The ground floor is fitted up in the latest improved style with all modern accessories necessary to accommodate the large volume of business which will come to this branch by reason of the large number of Porto graduates and agents located here in Chicago. All forms of beauty culture, shampoo, facial massage, manicuring, Chiropody, etc., can be secured in this well lighted, properly ventilated, and well appointed parlor and yet in the fitting and furnishing of the entire house the main idea is to have a branch where the many agents can secure supplies without the necessary delay of sending to the main office and also to establish the fact that everyone of our group may have anything they want if willing to work for it and they may become independent if efficient in the service they render. The doors of the Supply Branch were opened at 9.00 a.m. and from that time till late at night the house was thronged with admiring visitors friends and relatives of the Malones In the evening a program was rendered music being furnished by Peyton's Orchestra. In the receiving I were Mr. & Mrs. A. H Malure; Misses Halle Q. Brown, Wilberforce; Mae Belcher, Executive Secretary Y. W. C A. Indianapolis; Francis Williams International Secretary Y. W. C. A. New York City; Mesdames C. S. Smith, Dertot, Georgia, Thomas, St. Louis, Louella Young, Bertha Mosley, Maude Roberts George, Chicago. Each of the above named persons made addresses the theme of each one being the wonderful opportunity given to our young women and men by the establishment of the Supply Branch here in Chicago and elsewhere. Mrs. Annie M. Malone, Founder of Poro College said in part: 'The establishment of Poro Branch and Supply Stations in New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Washington, D. C., Detroit, Kansas City Los Angeles, Chicago and other large centers marks not on'y the expansion of our business, but is generally indicative of the progress which our group is making generally in the commercial world. To realize this happy truth one has but to call to mind the many large and flour'ishing business enterprises fostered by our people right here in Chicago: The Binge State Bank. The Douglas National He told how in the clay of the country around Tuskegee he had discovered '00 different coral paints, one of them an Egyptian blue, the color so frequently used by the ancient Egyptians, and the making of which was a lost art. A plant is to be built, he said, to produce paints from this clay. Two years ago Dr. Carver won the Spingarn Medal presented annually for the most distinguished achievement by an American citizen of African descent. It was from his discoveries that the Government made bread during the war from sweet potato flour. He is a member of the Royal Society of Arts, London. Mrs. John Bursing provided at the service. Miss Everdean Harme'ring, a nurse from one of the board's hospitals at Gray Hawk, Ky., toll of nursing among the mountaineers. Mrs. Taber Knox described the work of the board in the Indian missions of Oklahoma and New Mexico. Miss Mary Dan Harbeson of Kentucky and H. T. Brilleigh sang. Five Cents Per Copy SAYS ARMISTICE SAVED WHITE RACE SAYS ARMISTICE SAVED WHITE RACE Dr. Paul H. Duff Speaks at Knights of Columbus Celebration. (Preston News Service) DALLAS, TEXAS, Nov. 26—The signing of the armistice probably saved the white race from being to weakened as to lose its supremacy in the world to the yellow and black races declared Dr. Paul Harrington Duff speaking at the second of the winter series of open rights of the Dallas Knights of Columbus, in observance of Armistice Day and Dr. Duff's subject was "The Spirit of Armistice Day." Recalls Armistice at Front. Mr. Duff, the principal speaker of the evening, introduced his address with a description of Armistice Day at the front in 1918. He detailed the activity of the men in the battery with which he was serving, and port- rayed the pageantry of the celebration in the small villages of the Tou- sector. Stating that thankfulness was the primary emotion associated with the commemoration of the cessation of hostilities, he pointed out some of the reasons why the world gave thanks that day. In this connection he discussed the possibility that the white races of the world would have weakened each other that the supremacy in the world affairs could have fallen into the hands of the Orientals The thankfulness of the American people associated with Arm'stice Day was great enough, Dr. Duff asserted Day as the national thanksgiving day to justify the celebration of Arm'stice. He advocated the merging of the two days of thanksgiving now celebrated in November and the designation of the 11th as the day for the offering of the thanks of the American people. ARE YOU AWARE? BY PROF. E. M. BARNES That good thoughts come from good inwards; while the bad which imimates from one is indicative of evil within. It has been said that there is a much bad in the best of us and a much good in the worst of us that there's no time for any of us to speak talking about the rest of us.

We, as group, are coming to appreciate the great truth that real happiness a success has its basis in usefulness a that usefulness is measured in terms of service to our fellow man.

He had Scripture references full explaining the different parts. In this he impressed upon our minds the insensibility of kindness, false profession. one who does not recognise Supreme Deity, a lover of moral deprivation, full of falsehood and deception, exercising a haughty and disdainful spirit, a heart full of wilful misstatements, so full of the world, could not be determined other than a bad heart.

ARE YOU AWARE? to be seen: First, the natural bad that is within us is a part of the prevailing evidence of the great influence, which the evil spirit has over humanity.
