THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE State Historical Society, N. W. E.

The rehearsals are proceeding exceptionally well and we feel by the 5th of March that we will have a production that will be a great credit to Wichita. The pageant in nine episodes is beautiful and colorful from beginning to end and is of great spiritual mo In a graphic, dramatic and artistic way, without boast or brag the history of the Ethiopian race is unfolded. starting as far back as Egypt Land, life in an African village, captivation by the Spanish Slave traders, the American Slave Market, the Cotton Fields of the South, their hour of Evening Worship at which time the dawn of Freedom breaks, borne by the Lincoln, tribute to our great men and women, to our boys who rest in dangers Field and lastly the scene of Progress which depicts the matrius strides we have made as a race in sixty Years of freedom. If there are any individuals expecting to take part in this mammoth spectacle it will be necessary so them to enlist next week as after that time the cast will be closed, Rhecarsals are being held at the following places: on Monday and Thursday nights at the Masonic Hall on North Main and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday nights at the Morris Hall on East 13th Street.

In the absence of our pastor, Rev. A, W. Ross, our State Missionary filled the pulpit and delivered three very striking sermons during the day. At 11 a. m., Rev. Ross brought us a burning message based on Rev. 21:2; theme: 'Heaven or a New Jerusalem. Many interesting and encouraging thoughts were emphasized. Rev. Loss delivered a wholesome sermon. At 3 p. m., Rev. Ross selected as a text Romans 1:14; 'I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the Barbarians both to the wise and to the unwise.' Theme: 'The World's Debtors;' Rev. Ross is a strong Gospel preacher and we always enjoy having him with us. Next Sunday will be the ladies' rally day, special services at 3 p. m. Rev. Cartwright will be the speaker for the day. The brick work of our new church building is bearing corplection; we hope to be able to continue the work until the structure is completed thruout. A BIRTHDAY LUNCHEON On Thursday evening Henry Pryant entertained with a birthday luncheon the home of Mrs. P. C. Jack- son, 420 South College, in compliment to her daughter, Miss Goraldine Bryant. Decorations were in pink and white and these colors appeared prettily in the luncheon served. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Travis, Mr. and Mrs. Al Young. Dr. and Mrs. H. H. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Porter, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Turner, Mr. and Mrs. G.orge Hudson Mr. and Mrs. E. Brown, Mrs. Biddie Garvin, Cora Jennings, Miss Marlene Johnston, Miss Loraine Griffin, Miss Lena Williams, Miss Agnes Hudson, --- KANSAS NEEDS A STATE SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS Kansas is the only state in the Union which cannot build or maintain roads. According to the Federal Aid Law, Kansas will lose Federal Aid after November, 1926, if the state is unable to match Federal Aid with state funds. At present Federal Aid is matched by counties and Benefit Districts. The only way to secure a state system to be built and maintained by the state from the automobile fees and gasoline tax is to amend the state constitution. Kansas can never secure a con nected uniform system of roads through present methods, but it must come with a definite state program. Under our present constitution Kansas could pay 25 per cent of the cost of roads but NOT ONE DOLLAR for upkeep. This plan would never provide a complete state system. Kansas has now only about 800 miles of gravel and paved roads. We need 10,000 miles. Kansas as a state never has paid one dollar to help build roads. If the present Legislature will submit an amendment the voters can accept or reject it at the general election in November, 1926. This is the only legal way to get a state system of roads. Every state on every side of Kansas in building and maintaining a state system of roads Missouri at the last election by a majority of 394,629 votes provided additional road funds to speed up the completion of its 7,640 miles of state roads without one dollar of property tax. In 1918 Illinois voted a $60,000,000 bond issue to build a state system of 4,500 miles of roads. At the election November 4, 1924, by a majority of 1,017,337 the voters authorized another bond issue of $100,000,000 to build a secondary system of 5,000 miles, all to be paid from auto fees and not one dollar of property tax. The road program in Kansas proposes a constitutional amendment to be submitted by the present Legislature and then voted on by the people in November, 1926. The amendment to designate a state system of highways and authorize their construction and maintenance by the state, the funds to be raised from the automobile license fees and a tax on gasoline. There will be no property tax. A complete connected system of good roads in Kansas? Kansas to keep getting its share of Federal Aid? To build a complete, connected system of 7,000 miles without a property tax? The present Kansas Legislature to submit such a proposition to a vote? A road program in Kansas, which will permit the motor vehicle owners to p. of 7,000 miles of state roads? If you do, then write at once to your Senator or Representative or both, and u to submit such an amendment. MISS HAZEL HARRISON IN GRAND PIANO RETITAI. Wichita was very highly honored to hear Miss Hapel Harrison in Piano Special Wednesday evening, Jan. 24. Her playing was perfectly superb; her interpretation very unusual and pleasing. Her independent finger work is wonderful and a decided credit to her. Although playing under the disadvantage of a small piano, she rendered each number with dignity and finish of any other present-day artist. She was presented with a bunch of lovely roses from the St. Paul A. M. E. Church; and a box of sweet meas and ferns from the C. T. C. of which Miss Sims is President.

Mr. Dett was a former schoolmate of Dr. Ross W. Sanderson who very heartily endorses Mr. Dett's appearance here. Prof. Otto Fischer is also delighted to hear that Mr. Dett will play for Wichita, and suggests that a "Real Concert Piano" be furnished for him. Mr. comes in interest of the Coleridge-Taylor Conservatory. His minimum fee is $300. Miss Daisy Hayes Miss Mattie Williams. Mr. W. F, Butler, Mr. C. W. Peters.

We have a deficit of more than five hundred dollars. Our missionaries are suffering and our educational work decidedly handicapped because of our neglect. The church must feel its call to help the whole human life. The organization at 9:30 first day will consist of the enrollment of churches and auxiaries Appointment of committees on finance, business, periodicals and institutes. Yours for the Kingdom, M. S. Jones Sec. J. W. Hayes, Mod Honor To Whom Honor Is Duc The Second Baptist Church, Hutchinson, under the leadership of Rev. V. S. Cooper and his amiable wife, has been able in less than a year to liquidate a mortgage of long standing and thus the church stands free of debt. Since the organization the church has had more than a dozen pastors, each making his contribution to the development of the work according to their several abilities. The new church which now stands as a monument to Christ was erected under the leadership of the Rev. Mr. Allen. It was, however, Rev. Cooper's part of the programs to organize and operate in such a way as to make it possible for the church to celebrate its jubilee, Jan. 18th. It was our good pleasure and honor to speak on this occasion and thus share the joy of this good pastor and people. Madam Ida Frazier Bates, President of Women's Convention of the Western States, a woman of thought and keen insight also spoke on the occasion. As we study Rev. and Mrs. Cooper, it is a gratifying revelation that the deeper one gets into their lives the deeper the appreciation. Rev. Cooper is a Gospel preacher, teacher and leader. He has the ability to organize and then operate his organization. The church and district have been blest by the Lord, through Rev. and Mrs. Cooper; they love the brethren. While we wish to see this pastor and wife have the best things of life and much of them, still we would indeed miss the good influence and power of this minister of Christ, should the Lord send him elsewhere. The church is to be congratulated not only in securing this angel of the church but also for co-operating with him in such a way as to make this achievement possible. Having suffered with him, it was your pleasure to rejoice with him as the flames from the mortgage went un like sweet incense. Church, you should spare no pains in making it is shepherd and his life's partner comfortable and happy. Whatever you can do for them, do it now. That Rev. and Mrs. Cooper may live long and that the Second Baptist Church and Southwest District continue to be b'est by the compani- ship of these servants of God is the prayer of Your humble servant. Junction City, News. Mrs. Inez Perkins was hostess to the Beacon Light Mission Circle Friday afternoon. How little we really know about The New Beginning was clearly revealed in the Bible lesson which was studied. Sunday morning Rev. G. T. Raimey preached a sermon which was both instructive and spiritual; from 1 Peter 2.9; using as subject: 'God's People.' Sunday evening, Rev. Raimey again preached a splendid sermon from Matt, 6:1-4; using as his subject: 'Preparation for Prayer.' This was discussed under the head of 'Giving.' This sermon is the introductory sermon of a series of 12 to be preached from Matt, 6:1-13. Miss Bernice Nevins, Russell Sprgs enroute to Emporia, to attend K. S. T. G., visited Miss Lois Grimes, Saturday and Sunday. There are many sick still; although quite a few are improving, among there are Mrs J, W. Campbell and Mr. Eugene West. CHEROKEE, KANSAS, NOTES MT.

Mrs. Wyle of Nowata, Okla., was called here to the bed-ids of her mother, Mrs Wallace who is very ill. Mr. Jack Dixon is very ill; Mrs. Mercury his sister of St. Paul, Kansas, is here at his bedside. The member and friends of New Hope Baptist Church, felt a keen loss when their pastor, Rev. Branch, read his resignation Sunday morning to take charge of one of the leading churches in Topeka, in the next 30 days. We regret the loss of this matchless leader and his amiable wife yet our loss is another's gain. Rev. Branch has made many warm friends with both races. The Neoosho Valley District will meet with New Hope Baptist Church here the 10th and 11th of February, where we hope to see all the members present. ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES. That Editor Sims has just returned from the Congress Board Meeting in Indianapolis, with the information that Kansas is expected to do some big things when the Congress comes to us? He says that if Kansas is to make a good showing, she must wake up now and get on the job. Chorus from other states have a ready applied for lodging reservation. What are you doing? We cannot do much unless we begin on time. 'Preparedness' is the word now. If Kansas will do what we are planning for her, she can make the charge "Over The Top" in chorus work.

RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS OF THE KANSAS Page Two IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School Lesson (By REV P. B. FITZWATER, D.D., Dean of the Evening School Moody Bible institute of Chicago) (© 1923 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for February 1 THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES LESSON TEXT—John 15 1·17. GOLDEN TEXT—He that abldeth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit."—John 15 5. PRIMARY TOPIC—Being Friends of Jesus JUNIOR TOPIC—The Vine and the Branches INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Fruit-learing Lives YOUNG LIFEPLACE AND ADULT TOPIC—Union With Christ Under the beautiful allegory of the vine and the branches Jesus set forth the spiritual oneness of Himself and His disciples. 1. The Relationship of Jesus and the Father to the Disciple (Lv. 13) 1. Jesus the Source of the Disciple's Life (v. 1) He is the true vine. Through the incarnation Jesus identified Himself with humanity, and by virtue of His atoning death and resurrection it is possible for the believer to be a partaker of His life so that between the disciple and his Lord there is a community of life. As the vine pours its life into the branch, so Christ pours His life into the believer. Our salvation is eternal life because it is the life of the eternal Son in us. 2. The Father Has in His Hands the Discipline of the Disciple (v. 1). The "Father is the husband" Just as the culture of the vine is in the hands of a husband so the discipline of the believer's life is in the hands of the Father. In this disciplinary process he (a) Removes the unfruitful branch (v. 2). He does not take the trouble to prune the fruitless branch. The nominal church number, the more professor, he removes. (b) Purges the fruitful branch that it may produce more fruit (v. 2). He restrains our natural tendencies and desires in order that the virtues of the Lord, the fruits of the Spirit, may shine forth. 3. The instrument by which the pruning is accomplished is Jesus' words (v. 3). The disciples already were cleansed by Christ's words, for Judas the traitor had been cast out. If the believer's life is to be fruitful in character and service the pruning knife, Christ's words, must be intently gently and regularly applied. II. The Conditions of Fruit Dearing (11, 47). The supreme object in pruning, the culture of the vine, is fruit. 1. Abiding in Christ (vv. 46). As the branches draw sap and life from the vine, so believers must abide in Christ, from whom they derive their purity, strength and wisdom. Indeed, it is a mutual abiding, the disciples in Christ and Christ in the discipline. It is Christ's life expressing itself through the believer. The one thus indwelt by Christ will bear much fruit. So great is the displeasure of the Lord with lifeless, unfruitful branches that they are to be "cast forth," "withered," even burned (v. 0). 2. Christ's Words Abide in Us (v. 7). So mighty is the power of the one who abides in Christ and in whom His words abide that Heaven can withhold no gift from him. III. The Blessed issue of a Fruitful Life (vv. 8-17) 1. The Glorification of the Father (v. 8). Through much fruit bearing, the Father will be glorified (Matt 5:10). 2. Credentials of Discipleship (v. 8). The only way to prove that one is a child of God is to manifest the characteristics of God in one's acts and service. 3. Abiding in Christ's Love and Keeping His Commandments (vv. 6, 10). The way to abide in Christ's love is to keep His commandments. The one who neglects the words of Christ is destitute of His love. It is folly to talk of being in the love of Christ while disobeying His teachings. 4. Fulness of Joy (v. 11). The way to have fulness of joy is to have Christ's joy in us. 5. Loving one another (vv. 12, 13). The one who abides in Christ and has the life of Christ flowing into him will live a life of love, will love his fellow man, especially his brother in Christ. 6. Friends of Christ (vv. 14, 15). Christ's friends do whatsoever He commands. Being thus obedient He takes us into His confidence and makes known unto us the Heavenly Father's will. 7. Perpetual Fruit-Bearing in Love, With Power in Prayer (vv. 10, 17). Physical Vigor Physical weakness is not a sign of spiritual power. All other things considered, the man or woman who enjoys physical vigor will be able to accomplish more than those who are pungy and ill. How Many? "How many people," says Jeremy Taylor, "are busy in the world gathering together a handful of thorns to sit upon!" What we fear most is not today's trouble, but that which may happen tomorrow. Dumb Love A dump love is only acceptable from the lower animals.—Doctor Van Dyke. --- Russell Springs Breezes Mr, N. J.

Bible School well attended in both departments. "Stewardship of Money" was the message brought to us by pastor Hayin. Many hearts were made to rejoice as he so plainly ex- uld God's financial plan. Prof H T. Sims gave us a very interesting report of his trip to Indianapolis, Indiana, and brought to us the important matters discussed and mapped out in the Executive Board of the B. Y. P. U., and Sunday School Corpress. Deacom Case explained the financial plan of our district, of which our pastor is Moderator, and urged each member to come up with his pro rata to enable the district to put over its program. In the afternoon fifty members were sent out in groups of twos to make a survey of the membership and friends of the church. It will require some time to go over the cards and get an accurate report. In order to put over the big program the church has mapped out for this year, it will require the continued efforts of every member, large and small. Let us determine* to do our whole duty with the help of the Lord; remembering always that we are God's Stewards—(Pastor's definition) "One who is intrusted with the goods of another." In the evening both Unions were largely attended. Lessons and programs interesting. Dinner served Monday evening was quite a success, where we take under consideration the very inclement weather; Mrs. Mayma Moore was chairman with a splendid committee. The class studying Dr. S. N. Vass' book on "How to Study and Teach the Bible" and also the Bib'e School, teachers civil workers were on time 7:30 p. m., eager for the lesson. Tuesday evening, the Missionary Circles held jointly their usual weekly meeting. Members are urged to attend these meetings and make them what they should be. Ere long a membership contest will be launched; resolve NOW, to join and help not over Christ's great Mission Program. St. Paul Notes.

Findlayson of Frirmount College, who delivered a great message: the impressive story of the Garden of G themene, presenting to his hearers a picture in their imagination, scenes of that memorable event. He told how Jesus bore His sufferings full of love and tenderness, a living sacrifice for mankind, a lasting spirit of forgiveness. The session of the Bible School was held at 9 a.m. with good attendance in primary and each department. The regular Wednesday evening prayer meetings were held on Friday evening, class meeting night, owing to Madam Hazel Harrison. The A. C. E.

SOUTH WEST DIST OFFICIAL NOTICE The Churches, Mission Circles, Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Societies will please take notice!-That the 2nd quarterly Executive Board will meet with Calvary Baptist Ch., Thursday and Friday before the 3rd Sunday in February, the 12th and 19th 1925, Wichita, Kansas, Rev. J. W. Hayes., B. D., Pastor. Now just a word about the new plan: The leaders of the Association are to be congratulated upon the manner the churches of the District are fallling in line with this NEW PLAN. In short, it is as follows: Each church is responsible for $1.25 per member annually, one-fifth or 25c is due at each Executive Board Meeting and two-fifths or 50c at the annual meeting. Each auxiliary will be given credit for one-fifth of the total amount due to be raised by the church; for example, if a church has 100 members, it is due to pay annuity for denominational work; $125.00 for which each auxiliary will given credit for $25.00, and so on. This makes the church, responsible for the work and not the auxiliaries and yet the auxiliaries are responsible to the church, and receives cred.t in the Association in proportion as the churches apportionment is paid into the Treasure of the Association at the Executive Board meetings or Annual meetings. Let the Presidents of the auxiliaries send in their programs to Moderator, J. W. Hayes, 615 Wabash Avenue, Wichita, Kansas, at once; that the program for the Executive Board named above, may be made. Let each church gather from its membership, one-fifth or 25c and bring or send it to— M. S. JONES, Ex. Secretary, Friend, Kansas. REV. J. W. HAYES, B. D. Moderator. Wichita, Kansas.

UNION REVIVAL AT GARDEN CITY The Union Revival among the colored churches of the city, held at Ebenezer Baptist Church, January 14-21 (Rev, G. P. Henderson, Pastor) was a decided success in every way. Rev, N. J. Stokes of Pratt, conducted the meeting with the assistance of Mme, A. S. E. Winston Hutchins of Kansas City, our National Gospel Singer. We held a week's prayer meeting at the church prior to the revival and came together, not as Methodist nor Baptist, but as "Christians;" and realized in very truth, and could appreciate perhaps more fully the meaning of Psalm 133. Therefore, the spiritual tide was ebbing high when the minister with Sister Hutchins appeared on the scene to take charge of the meeting; Rev. SHkes was at his beat and seemed filled with the Holy Spirit who took charge of the situation and used him in a remarkable way, so that he was enabled to bring us some --- --- TELEPHONE MARKET 3130 DAY AT WICHITA, KANSAS, Editor and Publisher NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Assistant Editor Assistant Editor Assistant Editor St Phone M. 1665 Local Editress For June 12th 1919, at the Post Office at March 3, 1879 OPTION RATES: $160 .83 .50 .20 At sign name whether or not it is to be paper. We reserve the right to reject us at once, when you fail to receive ITEMS strong, soul stirring, burning messages, which penetrated the hearts of every one present; and Sister Hutchin, the sweet singer of Zion was ill aware filled with the Spirit and poured forth her very soul as it were into the sweet melodies to God. She was really the back-bone of the meeting. The Holy Spirit was present with us throughout the entire meeting and gave us a Pentecostal Shower from on High. Truly we were made to realize that "in Unity there is Strength." During the meeting three services a day were held, namely 12, 4 and at 7 p.m. Each service was well attended. From 4 to 5 was children's hour and it was wonderfully inspiring to see the groups of young folks gathering at the church at their hour with their young hearts open and ready to hear and receive the word; and about 20 of them were happily converted. Sunday afternoon at 2:15 the men met at the Second Baptist Church and the women at Lhenezer Baptist Church to determine which of the two were the stronger numerically, and financially at which time the men organized a Father and Son Movement, the object of which is to bring about a closer relationship between father and son, for the uplifting and upbuilding of the churches and community at large. We are expecting great things from this movement. At the same hour, Water Horticulture made a very splendid, helpful and timely talk to the women on "The Home." Among other good things said she impressed us with the fact that Love is the central virtue of the home. At 4:00 p.m., the men joined us, and we had a glorious meeting together in Union Reserval at Garden City, Kansas. The women, however, proved the stronger both numerically and financially. The effects of the weeks' meeting is destined to be for reaching. A new, diff rent spirit pervades the atmosphere, a spirit of sweet union and fellowship, as perhaps never before felt in the history of the city. We feel that the Lord has wonderfully blessed us thru the coming of these two consecrated servants of God, and we want to say to you who prayed for our access, that your prayers were not in vain, for truly we had a great meeting, and altogether 20 souls were added to the church. God bless Rev. Sincles and Sister Hutchins; may they live long to carry the Gospel both in sermon and in song. Ldvenia H. McPherson. FOR RENT!
