Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.16,No.38, TUSKEGEE, ALA., Dec. 11—The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial, as in recent years past, will act as a distribution station for the presentation to the needy of articles sent there for the Christmas holidays. The custom, which was started by Dr. Booker T. Washington, has been carried out yearly, sending the books, setting, toys, Christmas cards, old clothing to the various colored schools and institutions which the mother institution represents. Contributions of money should be sent direct to the Principal of the Institute, Dr. R. R. Moton. The need of the gifts can readily be seen when it is realized that thousands of children and families are aided by the Institute, and only means of meeting this demand is the charity of the public. Leavenworth Kansas Sunday School had a large attendance Sunday. The school was reviewed for five minutes by the Supt. Bro. A. Miles, from the subject, Curing of the blind man. He asked us some very vital and essential questions to think up, that we might master the questions and be able to explain them to our fellowmen, that they might be fitted. The pastor presached a wonderful sermon both morning and night. In virtue, the testimony meeting was under the direction of the officers. A lively and spiritual meeting was held. At night the pastor preached from the subject: "Life." We could feel the spirit moving in our hearts. After the sunon, communion was served. Stop! Look! Listen! The Atchison Company will be at First Baptist Ch. Dec. 19, 1924. The B. Y. P. U., is going to render a Christmas program at the church, Dec. 2., 1921 at 8 p. m., all are invited to attend. The pastor will leave, for Atchiso Kansas, Wednesday, Dec. 10th. The pastor will spend his Xmas vaca- tion in Parsors, Kans. We were sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Derrell. The members of the family have the sympathy of all. We regret very much the resigna- tion of our organist, Miss Edna N. I will make her home in Kan. City. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES.

Dec. 5- I returned home last Saturday from Paducah, KY., where I had the privilege of conducting my second Evangelistic campaign, with the Harrison St. Baptist Church, P. D. Dennis, is the pastor of this church. He is a great preacher, an efficient leader and a successful pastor and evangelist; and he knows how to make it pleasant and agreeable for a worthy minister. He has a splendid church and congregation, and a harmonious and congenial class of people. A well regulated Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., I was with them 14 days; and preached to from 400 to 1000 people every night, resulting in about 80 conversions, 74 for that church and 84 or 85 additions in all. They gave me $1'300 for my service and a few presents. This was indeed a great meeting. Paducah has been stirred a rver before for years. It was also a participant in the organization of two churches in the city: Hurband Street of which Rev. D. W. Crenchaw is pastor; and New Mt. Zion of which Rev. Mills is pastor. Wednesday and Thursday nights I prescheed at the famous Washington Street Baptist Church; Thursday night was special to the converts there. Dr. Hall is indeed a noble pastor and has succeeded in organizing the young converts of his church and they are taking hold of the work in downright earnestness. I shall always owe him a debt of gratitude for his kindness to me. I returned home leaving Paducah, Friday morning and arrived home Saturday morning. Last Sunday we had splendid services, both morning and evening and the work is in fairly good condition, of Brother and SisterIoo. I was entertained while at Harrison St., in the home of Brother and Sister Howard; Bro. Howard is a deacon of the church, also treasurer.

"HER AFRICAN BLOOD" (Preston News Service) Commenting on the situation which has been raised on to the marriage of Leonard Kip Rhinlander and Missa Beatrice Jores and the subsequent harassing and merciless publicity given the affair by a vicious newspaper publishers caused the young millionaire to file annulment proceedings, Arthur Brisbane has the following to say: "A lawsuit raising interesting questions is coming. A young man named Rhinlander, whose people for several generations have not worked for a living and are, therefore, called 'artistocrats,' married a woman with Negro blood. Her people have always worked hard; therefore, she is no artistocrat. "It was a terrible blow to the New York aristocrat's family, but the blow is to be softened. "The young man, annoyed by publicity, now sues for annulment of his marriage, saying he was deceived as to his bride's race. She told him nothing about the Negro blood. "If money, wisely used does not perform its usual function, and if the young woman in the case fights, the question of her constitutional rights might be taken to the United States Supreme Court. "New York State legalizes marriages between Africans and whites. The young woman in this case is nearly white. What will the Supreme Court say about a few drops of colored blood? "A man in New York could not get a divorce or the ground that his wife had deceived him about a British or Celtic strain of blood. The court's decision as to an African strain in a state where microgenation is not illegal will be enlightening." Salina, Kansas News. ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. S. A. Williams, Pastor. Much interest was manifested in the Sunday School, which opened Sunday morning at the usual hour with a very good attendance. At 11 a. m., impressive praise service was conducted by Dr. J. E. Jolty, the National Gospel singer who has been with us during the past week, assisting in a revival meeting. Rev J. W. Hayes, Wichita, delivered a splendid straight forward sermon on "Pentecostal Power" after which, several came forward to accept the prayers of the Christians. At 3 p. m., Dr. Hayes brought to a another hurricane message taking his text from Luke 5:4; theme, "Greater Efforts for God," emphasizing the importance of launching out into the deep. There is so such thing as failure if the church will only follow the commands of Jesus, "Marvel not that I say unto them, so must be born again;" were the words of the text for the evening sermon by Dr. Hayes, Theme, "New Birth." Dr. Hayes was at his best and God used him wonderfully in imparting these great truths to his hearers. The auditorium was fill 1 to its capacity. He very clearly pointed out the impossibility of entering the kingdom of God without this new birth. We are in the midst of urgent revival meeting here. Dr. Hayes has been with us during the past week and our souls have been will fed on good strong Goss! The meeting will close Wednesday night. Porter Williams plans to leave Thursday for Dratt, where he will conduct a revival. Mr. and Mrs. Chinn of Denver, Colo. are in the city visiting relatives and friends. Miss Henry Jordan, Wm.

KANSAS VOCATIONAL NOTICE Principal Bridgeforth and wife have returned from a trip to Alabama. A SWEET LIFE AND VACATIONAL MANY FRIENDS COLLEGE FIELD It pays to smile and do your duty, even if you are by yourself, was demonstrated yesterday at the funeral of Miss Anna Mae Gunther, older daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gunther, at the St. Paul A. M. H. Church, with Rev. R. L. Pope, officiating. Many was the flowers and still more were the friends, because the church was filled. Miss Gunther was but a tender flower and fought for life for more than a year, amply assisted by her fond parents, but early in the morning about four o'clock last Friday, she told her mother and father how much she loved them, then asked him to pull out the pillar, saying "Goodbye." They were in Denver, Colo. when the end came. She was brought home, and sweetly laid to rest in a white plush casket. The junior choi, the clubs, the class and friends had resolutions, trying to express her worth to them for her devoted life and duty. God sometimes plucks the best that others might have a chance to ripen, so is His alwise plan, He knows best; His so sweet to trust Him, just to take Him at His voice; Let the parents believe this and heaven will come nearer.

That the man singers of Wichita are opening their eyes to the great opportunity of helping themselves musically? The Y. M. C. A. Chorus is lining well. To date, there are about a score of young men who have shown their deme to assist in this Five Cents Per Copy A few friends of the institution have been interested in aiding the institution to put on a movable school to work during the spring, summer and fall, in giving practical and useful lessons in agriculture, horticulture, dairying, economics and health to our people throughout the state. These friends, have already expressed a willingness to put up the money to buy a truck to be equipped with: Moving picture machine, modern lighting equipment, health charts and other practical objects for educational purposes to our people in every section of the state. This truck will be purchased some time in the near future, and equipped by spring. It affords a most practical way of teaching the mass of people useful lessons in the things as necessary for our economic and industrial progress.

Page Two Sunday School Lesson (By REV F D FITZWATER, DD Dept. of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of, Chicago ) (Q. 1927, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for December 14 LESSON TEXT-John 11.1.44 LESSON TEXT-John T. H GOLDEN TEXT-"I am the resurrection, and the life" PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Comforts a Family in Trouble JUNIOR TOPIC — Lasarus Raised From the Dead 1. The Revelation of Christ's Love (vv. 130). The Bethany family held a peculiar place in the affections of Jesus. When the doors of other homes were closed against Him, the door of this home flung wide open to receive Him. 1. Lazarus Sick (vv. 1, 2). Even those who are in close fellowship with the Lord are not immune from sickness. 2. Martha and Mary Send for Jesus (vv. 2). Because they had come to know Jesus more than a more man they instinctively turned to Him when this shadow fell across their home. Those who receive Jesus into their homes, when all are well and happy, can be sure of His love and sympathy when sickness and death overtake them. 8. Jesus' Strange Delay (vv. 419). Martha and Mary sent for Jesus because He loved Lazarus. Now, Jesus "abode in the same place" because He "loved Lazarus and his sisters." More human sympathy would have moved Him to hasten to the home of trouble, but Divine love, which rests upon perfect knowledge, caused Him to tarry. 4. Jesus Meets Martha and Mary (vv. 20:27) Martha and Mary knew the peril to which He would be exposed and therefore did not request that He come, but merely gave Him notice. They were willing that IIs coming should be left to Him. (1) Martha Met Jesus (iv, 2027) As He was nearing the village, Martha, who with her sister had passed through the awful ordeal of the sickness and death of a dear brother, met Him with a complaint for His delay. Because of His love He ignored her complaint and taught her concerning the resurrection and life. Martha, like many today, had a vague belief that God would raise Lazarus some time in the remote future. To her came the compelling declaration, "I am the resurrection, and the life." The great truth to be apprehended is that here and now we are united to the living Christ, the source of life, and that this is the pledge of bodily resurrection and eternal reunion. (2) Mary Met Jesus (iv. 28.35). Mary came with the same words, but with a different voice and attitude. She fell down at His feet. She had been sitting at His feet in the days of sunshine. Therefore she knew where to go when sorrows cast their shadows across her path. Her words were answered by His tears. "Jesus wept." II. The Resurrection of Lazarus (vv. 38-44). The great sympathy now expresses itself in supernatural power. Sympathy would be valueless without its connection with divine power. In this stupendous miracle we see an illustration of the quickening into life of those dead in trespasses and sin. 1. He Was Dead This is a type of the slinner, dead in trespasses and sins, even morally corrupt (Eph 2:1) 2. The Stone Must Be Rolled Away. This is the part the human must play 3. In Unbelief Martha Protests Against the Stone Being Removed She insists that Lazarus had already undergone putrefaction. 4. Christ's Intimacy and Fellowship With the Father as Revealed in His Prajer. 5. His Manner of Dealing With Lazarus It was by a call He is calling men and women today by His Spirit. His Word and His providence 6. The Response of Lazirus Shows That His Call Was With Authority and Power. With the call goes the power to hear and obey, even though one be dead in trespasses and sin and therefore helpless. 7. The People Are Commanded to Remove the Grave Clothes and Set Him Free. They could not make Lazirus alive, but they could remove the grave clothes which bound the man whom Christ made alive. III. The Effect of This Miracle (vv. 45-47). This mighty work caused division of sentiment. Some believed on Jesus and some went to the Pharisees with the news. Lacking Something Some men are all man except heart, brain and "backbone." — American Evangelist. Citizenship A Christian citizenship can spell out nothing but "clean citizenship." American Evangelist. Manhattan News. Rev. Burnside preached a noble sermon, Sunday morning. At 3 o'clock, testimonial services were held; afterwhich the Lord's Supper was administered.

Sunday was a high day in Zion. The Holy Spirit came at the very service, which was the S. School.

After thirty minutes of class work by the teachers, the Supt., gave an excellent review of the lesson; he left no stones unturned. At 11 o'clock the pastor, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, brought a glorious message from the subject, the conquoring Christ. Isaiah 63:1-3. Bro.

Sam Tay gave an able lecture on Masonry Tuesday night; he left today for Hobart. The colored people are doing everything any other people are doing: the difference is they don't get as much out of it. Colored papers have a hard time because they are not patronized in proportion as the white papers; let us begin to wake up to this fact, that if we denounce our own paper, what could we look for other people to do to create or maintain jobs for our girls and boys? We must read our own as well as the other man's papers and books; he will himself give us more recognition along the line of intelligence.
