THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE # Executive Secretary of the Kansas Baptist State Convention, who is urging that every Church and Auxiliary, bring in its Full Quota, during Board Meeting at New Hope Baptist Church, Wichita, Kansas, April 28th and 29th, 1925. DO YOUR BEST SO KANSAS PROGRAM WILL GO "OVER THE TOP" ```markdown ``` A YOUNG PEOPLE'S PROGRAM FOR THE INDIVIDUAL CHURCH, DELIVERED BEFORE THE LAST SOUTHWEST DISTRICT BOARD AT CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH BY W. L. HUTCHINSON. SECRETARY, WATER STREET BRANCH Y. M. C. A. WICHITA. Ref. Romans 10.1-2; Genesis 44.30-34: There are those among you who have already become suspicious of this presentation and are beginning to murmur: "Here is another Fantastic idea; I have been in the church for forty years, and we have never had any program for the young people." My friends it is for that very reason that we are making this presentation. We have not had a program; and with the allurements of the world, we are failing to hold our young folks to the church. We cannot hope to hold the 20th Century Boy and Girl with an 18th Century program. January 16th at the Annual Meeting of the Wichita Sunday School Association Rally, Earl Bellman, the retiring President of the older Boys' Council, issued this challenge. "The day is passed when the Church can say to the young folk; 'Come on in, bring your soul, but leave your social, mental and Physical life outside,' we can develop your soul; but we cannot do anything for the three other phases of your development." But, said this young man: "the Church must supply all the needs of our growing manhood and womanhood; and all the Church does not supply the Devil will." Therefore, the Church must control the entire development of young manhood and womanhood. And any program that adequately meets the challenge must be four fold. Education as a science has made unprecedented progress in the last few years, due largely to a change from the study of subject matter and curriculums to the study of the child. It has been discovered that God has planned for the individual a certain process of development with three, more or less distinctly marked stages—Childhood, youth and adulthood. The period of youth which covers roughly the years from twelve to twenty-three is the great time of transition from childhood to adulthood. It falls into the quite distinct divisions, which in the Sunday School are called the Intermediate (twelve to fourteen), Senior (fiveteen to seventeen) and Young People' (eighteen to twenty-three) Depart mants. Our spacial interest, for this presentation, in in the two latter groups, whose ages range from fifteen to twenty-three.. I wish I had time to go into the characteristics of these different stages of development but instead, I am to discuss a program. First, let us visualize our objective; for what are we seeking. Saints or Red-blooded, intelligent Christian Citizenship. Please note that I said Christian Citizenship. Good Citizenship may not be Christian; you cannot get the word Christian out of Citizenship the "R" and "A" are lacking. So I repeat, we are seeking to mound "Human Personality," Christian "Citizenship." In my reference, it was mentioned that the people had a zeal, but not according to knowledge, so our first task is Religious Instruction or Education To fill this part of our program I would suggest that we address ourselves to those activities in which young folk indulges during their leisure hours, without leadership. (To be continued in next issue) LOGANSPORT TOWNSHIP S.S. CONVENTION On Easter Sunday, the Union S. S. Convention convened with First Baptist Church, Edith. The day was fine and there were representatives from each of the other members, Oakley and Pleasant View. The S. S. lesson was interesting and well taught. After the Scripture Reading by the Rev.

(Continued on page 4) WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, April 24, 1925 MAY OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCES CONTEST WINNERS Announcement of the winners in Oman's Five Hundred Dollar Literary Prize Contest will be made on May 1st. This contest, which was the first experiment of Negro Journal on a large scale to locate Negro of religion, and begin the exploitation of the rich resources of Negro life for literature and art revealed impressingly large number of these writers whose work ranked far above the average both in technique and in the matchless emotional materials exactly handled. Nearly a thousand contestants were entered. There are first, second and third prizes for the best short stories, poems, plays says and personal experiences sketches. Twenty-four judges representing the best literary standards in the United States read these manuscripts and their comments upon them gave added testimony to the surprising latent within this vigorous writing group in which appears many new names. The images were Carl Van Doren, Itrn editor of the Century; Robt H. Davis, editor of the Manssey fiction magazines; Dr. Blanche Colton Williams, author of several books on the short story and professor at Columbia University and Hunter College; John Farrar, editor of the Bookman Edna Worthley Underwood, author of several books; Fannie Hurst, America's leading short story writer; Zona Gale, playwright and novelist; Witter Bynner and Clement Wood, two of the country's leading poetry critics; James Weldon Johnson, compiler of the Anthology of American Negro Verse and himself a poet; Eugene O'Neill, playwright; Alain Locke of Howard University; Herry Goddard Leach, editor of the Forum; Montgomery Gregory, an authority on New plays; Van Wyck Brooks, John Macy of Columbia University Ernest Kinchella Jones, Dorothy Scarborough, Dorothy Canfield Fisher novelist; L. Hollingsworth Wood, Alexander Woolcott, dramatic critic of the New York Sun; and Robert H. Donchley, editor of Life. Ore of these judges in commenting upon the stories of Negro life sent in said: "They are a revelation to the whites—thru the intensified vision of creative mind—of the soul of the black man. They give to him the seal of a new equality. These stories mark, I fancy, an epoch in the history of American letters—the entrance into the domain of art of a race, differently dowered, but with something we cannot well do without. In the future we must learn to look more and more to the black races for art, because joy, its mainspring, is dying so rapidly now in the great Caucasian race. Without joy, art cannot be." The announcements and the award will be made at a special dinner meeting in the Fifth Avenus Restaurant on May 1st. There will be present many of the contestants, the judges, friends of the movement and an important group of literary persons. The prize winning entries will appear in OPPORTUNITY beginning in May issue which will not be released until after the announcement of winners has been made. ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES.

ADDRESS ```markdown ``` SUBJECT: What do the Winters and Wives Except from the Young People and What Should They Expect? In opening this subject permit me to say that we are living in a great age. In an age that is uncovering, and unfolding many hidden mysteries of nature. In an age of a great public school system. In an age of religious training by prepared men and women and an age of great opportunities. Therefore, the ministers, and wives are expecting great things from our young people. 1. The ministers and wives expect the young people to have a true view of the world, because of the educational advantages and opportunities which they have. A true view of the world is necessary if they are to render the service needed. A doctor cannot successfully render the needed service to his patient until he has first diagnosed his patient's disease. Neither can our young people do for the world, what the world needs until they recognize these needs. Herein appear the value and the need of trained minds. Now, what are the characteristics of a true view of the world? These may be surely learned by getting Christ's view of the world. (1) His view was a sympathetic view, The Scriptures say, When He saw the multitude he was filled with compassion. Now compassion is a wonderful word. One full of meaning, Showing sympathy for another, pity for another, suffering with another. Young people who are void of compassion can never be the workers, the world needs. Now in order to possess true compassion, the individual must recognize real want, and must have eyes to see the disease and evils in the world. 2. A true view of the work. (1) A true view of life's work reveals first of all, its great profusion. The harvest is plenteous, saifh the Lord. There is much to do, and if the work is not done it is because the young people are unwilling or unprepared. MASS MEETING AT CALVARY, SUNDAY REV. CLAY MAXWELL, SPEAKS An impinging audience filled the pews of the Calvery Baptist Church. Sunday in a Mass-Meeting at 3:30 p.m., in response to a call from the pastors of the various churches of the city. Meeting was called to stimulate an interest in the coming of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, June 24th. A very fitting program was arranged for the occasion, when Rev. P. L. Marchant presented Dr. Clay Maxwell who in turn outlined the work of the Congress and in a masterly address, filled with wit and humor, held his audience under control, until he thoroughly explained the great work of the Congress. T REV. J. W. HAYES. Mod. of Southwest Dist. Association SOUTH WEST DIST. Board will meet at Newton, Kens, with the 2nd Baptist Church, Rev. J. L. Hawkins, Pastor, May 14, and 15. Remember each church is to collect 25c from each member for this meeting. This answers for church and auxiliaries. Brothren, do your best as this is the last Board Meeting before our State S. S. Convention and the Congress. J. W. Hayes, Mod. M. S. Jones, Sec. (2) A true view of life's work recognizes the fact that it is a laborious work. If our young people have had the slightest idea that education is for the purpose of giving them an easier time they have missed the real meaning of education. True work is in being, not seeming. In doing each day that goes by. Some little good, not in dreaming. Of great things to do by and by. Of great things to do by and by. (3) A true view of life's work will reveal the fact that life's best work is often unappreciated. Hence, our young people need not expect banquets to be spread in their honor, nor crowns of gold to be placed upon their heads, but rather remember the more good you do the more persecution you will get. Now, what will you do when all this happens? Get angry, find fault with your leader, go home, and refuse to work? Then do not start. Remember, anybody can give up, but who can hold on steadfastly to the end? Let us now notice The true view of the worker. A true worker comes first of all to God. Jesus is all in all to the true worker. There is no preparation so essential as that which comes from an intimate fellowship with God. He who comes closest to God will be able to get closest to men. Since I have related briefly what ministers and wives expect from the young people because of the great age in which we now live, I feel that we are not doing them an injustice by expecting them to be industrious and render faithful, intelligent and untiring service to the world and to the cause of Christ. We are expecting you to do better than any who have preceded you and we feel that you will not disappoint us. Some one has said: If you do not Five Cents Per Copy THREE names found on the M-K-T records of employees are followed by the word, "Faithful." The names are those of men long in the service of the company. Their loyalty has never been questioned. They are Negroes. Further, they are workmen, members of the race may be proud to know and whose examples are well worth emulating. The employees are J. H. Henderson, mall clerk, St. Louis; J. F. Robertson, section foreman, Coffeyville, Kansas; 2. H. Newbill, train porter, Sedalia. The record of Porter Newbill is shorter than that of his compatriots. He was retired last year and placed on the Katy gratuity list. He started with the Katy in 1893 as caller and promoted to porter. His boast has long been that during his thirty-one years of service he was never on a train that killed anyone nor in a wreck so serious, a wrecker was called. Henderson and Robertson are still on active duty. Foreman Robertson and Henderson both began working for the Katy in 1880. "I have never had a man working under me, injured," Robertson wrote the Magazine. That's a good safety record. It is one, few of the white foremen of sections can claim, especially after 45 years as a section foreman. Robertson stated that 45-pound rails were being used in his early days with the Katy and rails tied together at joints with chains. He also says there has never been a derailment because of defective track on any of his sections. This record proves Robertson believes in safety work. Another sign is that he never runs his car around curve without stopping and sending a man around the curve for inspection. Robertson has put his son through Kansas University and is helping him through an Ohio Medical school. His one daughter is a graduate of the Kansas State Teacher's College and is teaching in Sand Springs, Okla. J. H. Henderson started at Sedalia, in 1880 and came to St. Louis, as mail clerk in 1893. plains of life that lie before our do better you will do worse. I close with this picture: In the imagination of the ministers and wives, they look forward over the young people, and behold, we see long weary rugged roads, fields of battle, scorching heat, severe storms. Yes, we see days and weeks and months and years of toil, labor, sacrifice, suffering and we lift our heads and say: "Praise God if they shall be counted worthy of sacrifice in this great cause of Christ, in this great cause of humanity, and in this great work of the world's uplifting." We do not say—Father save them from this but Father, lead them by thine hand, Keep them by thine own might, preserve them blameless unto the coming of the Lord. Mrs. V. S. Cooper, STATEMENT OF EXONERATION We the wife and relatives take this method of expressing our sincere feeling in the cause of the death of Acc. W. Sellers. A rumor began afloat on the same day of Ace's death, that Dr. McGhee improperly and unscientifically administered gases or anaesthetics which directly caused his death. We feel and are convinced that Ace's death was not caused from anything given or administered to him by anyone whatsoever. Not only do we willingly and voluntarily exonerate Dr. McGhee because of his efficiency as a dentist and not because we feel that he is in the front lines amongst dentists in Wichita, but because we have made personal investigations in the matter and feel satisfied Dr. McGhee had nothing to do with the cause of his death.

RELIGIOUS AFFARS OF KANSAS Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FITZWATFR UD), Dens of the Evening school Bleedy Bible in attitute of Chicago ) 1825, Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for April 26 STEPHEN, THE FIRST MARTYR LISSON TEXT—Alce 6 1-7; 60. GOLDEN TLXT—'be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.'—Ivey 2 10 PRIMARY TOPIC—The Story of a Brave Man JUNIOR TOPIC—Stephen, the First Marty r. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP Croftenham, Christian Aero IC—Stephen a Christian Hero YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Character and Mirage of Stephen 1. Stephen the Deason (0:1-3). The early church was threatened with disruption over suspected parliaments in the distribution of alms. Thus we see that as soon as the church had relief from external troubles, culties arose from within. A congressional meeting was called in the case was placed before the church which was instructed to select seven Spirit filled men of and reputation to administer the temporalities of the church, thus giving the apostles the necessary time for prayer and the ministry of God's word. II. Stephen Defore the Council (0-9 15). The success of this movement soon came to be noted by the enemies of Christ. I. Disputing With Stephen (vs 0-10). Certain foreign speaking Jews took the lead in this controversy. Perhaps the fact that Stephen was a Greek Jew provoked them to act. He was more than a match for them while the debate was carried along the lines of tension and Scripture Ratan along these lines they had him arrested and brought before the council. 2 Charged With Liasopheny (vs 11-14). They trumped up this charge and endeavored to support it by secretly finding and inducing men to perjure themselves in their testimony. Stephen showed in his preaching that God's purpose is progressive, and that the policy instituted by Moses should be superseded by the new faith since it was the culmination of what Moses began. He showed that the old dispensation would be superseded by the new, and that the church would come out into the liberty of Christ. Christianity did not destroy Judahism but caused it to blossom forth into the glory of the new order. 3. Stephen's Time Transfigured (v. 15). He was so completely filled with Christ that as he saw the angel moth and realized how soon he would be violently dealt with and pass into the presence of the Lord, his face shone as the face of an angel. It was the glory of Christ shining through him. Stephen's Defense (7:1-53). In refuting their charge he showed by the history of God's dealing with the Jews that they had always resisted Him. Therefore their attitude was because of their unwillingness to move forward with the divine purpose. As indicated by Dr. Stiller, four points stand out in his defense: 1. Gods dealing with the Jews showed progress. The end was not reached by a single leap, but by gradual stages. 2. The temple was not the only holy place. God appeared at different places and at different times. 3. Israel invariably opposed God as He tried to lead them on. 4. He showed his loyalty to Moses by constantly referring to him IV. Stephen Stoned (7:5140) His words were too much for them so they grashed upon him with their teeth. 1. He Looked Steadfastly Into Heaven (v. 25) Instead of looking about upon his murderers in their raging fury, he looked up to heaven. This was the secret of his only. If he had looked about him, he might have been afraid 2. He Saw the glory of God (v. 55). A vision of Gods glory can only be seen by those who are loyal to Him even unto death. 3. He Saw Jesus Standing on the Right Hand of God (vv. 55-59). The fact that Jesus was standing shows that He was actually interested in the suffering of His faithful witness. 4. They Cast Him Out of the City and Stoned Him (vv. 58-59). 5. His Prayer (v. 60). He knotted down, and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." How like the prayer of Jesus on the cross! Christ so completely filled him that he could thus act. 6. He Pell Asleep (v. 60). The Christian's death is only a sleep. This sublime scene must have virtually affected Saul, who was consecrating up to his death. Worth Remembering Over and over again we need to comfort and strengthen ourselves with the remembrance that there is a very wonderful, enduring quality to the things that are good and clean and sound and honest. Prayer for the Day Let each new day bring to our lips the prayer: "Make me sane, and sweet, and strong for all the day holds of care and contradiction, of toll and trouble." ```markdown ``` Leavenworth Kansas The Sunday School is progressing wonderfully under Superintendship o Mrs. B.

Solo by Vivian Taylor, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Taylor, Bro. A. J. Love introduced the speaker of the hour Rev. H. B. Bronson of Metropolitan Baptist Church, Kansas City, who brought a timely message on "Co-operation." He said, the way for our race to succeed is to have enterprises of our own, backed by our own people, advertised by our own people; and not depend on the white man for everything, because we can see plainly that they don't want our trade, and our skilled workman. The message was heard by many; all went away berefted. Pew day rally was $114.55. Evening service, Devotionals led by Bro. Milks and Bro. Pettit. Sermon by the pastor on "Nochemiah had a mind to work." The pastor was at his best, Sunday and spoke as the Holy Spirit directed him; the message was enjoyed intensely.

Rev. I. Booser, Represen tative. Coffeyville Notes. The revival campaign being conducted at Calvary Baptist Church by Rev Mrs. Blake of Kansas City, has grown steadily in interest and attendance since the opening, Sunday April 12. Both the afternoon and evening services have been well attended and many conversions have resulted. Rev. Blake is preaching daily with increasing power. The weeks' campaign was followed by an all day Sunday service. Luncheon was served in the spacious and well arranged dining room of the church at 1 o'clock by the sisters of the pastors and society, Slater Hattie Roberts, President. Certainly Sister Roberts and her co-workers deserve the highest commendation. The Pastors Aid is forging rapidly ahead as one of the live auxiliaries of the church. Pastor Williams preached a great sermon at the morning service which was received joyfully by the throng that filled the church to the doors. The 3 o'clock service was in many ways a repetition. The evangelist, after a brief rest was at her best and preached with convincing power, "The great day of His wrath has come." The large crowd responsive, tensely, expectant, was stirred as rear before. The night service was a filling close of the day's services, an appropriate opening of the second week of The Negro Star-for the good of the people WICHITA'S BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL INDEX Garden Tree Rubber Hose.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: No black man can rise an jota in the affairs of the world, he heroo noble or madman incited by selfish ambition; no black woman can accomplish the least and simple act of purity without it having lifted the race enmassed higher in the niche of eternal record and racial honor. Therefore to all leaders and those who struggle let us struggle, let's give the victor's salute confident that if they but do their work will it but adds a star to the gravel of brillians which deck out racial crown and gives it an additional value in the eyes of a world which will continue to judge the masses by the efforts of the individuals. THE NEGRO PRESS today offers THE NEGRO PRESS today offers to the public one of the greatest mediums of developing a well perfected basis of inter-racial understanding thru its vast power to remove a preluded inclination to misconstrue the every act of the other race. The press can be utilized to bring out the highest talents of the race and place them out in the lime light of public opinion; The press can give to the world a positive illustration of the accomplishments being put over by members of the racial group; The press can serve as the palished go-between of the races with message warm from the hearts of racial leaders; The press can serve as the commercial advertising features. The Press Can Do None of These Things All Essential to Racial Progress Because You Have Not Arrived at the Point Where You are Willing to Read the Production of Black Man's Brain. Are You a Race Man? Read Racial News and Bid Your White Friend Do Likewise. SMOKY HILL RIVER DISTRICT Associatoin and Auxiliaries will meet with 2nd Baptist Church, Ellsworth, Kansas, May 6, 7, 8, 1925.

Whereas, the grim reaper, death invoked the sacred portals of our church and called our beloved brother and deacon, Edward Nolan of Pleasant View Baptist Church from labor to reward; It grieves us to give him up; we know from life so illustrious that he has found that place where "There shall be no night there and they need no candle neither light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light and they shall reign forever and ever." We, the members of Pleasant View Baptist Church, wish to express our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family in this trying hour; Therefore, Be it resolved that we bow our heads in humble submission to Illim who doeth all things well;—That we emulate Brother Nolan's virtues and be thankful that a part of his useful life was spent among us. Be it further resolved that a page in our record be set aside in remembrance of our honorary donacon; and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the bereaved family; and a cop to The Negro Star.
