THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.17,No.5, COLORED BAPTIST OF KANSAS TO HAVE POTITICAL STEERING COMMITTEE After considerable deliberation at the April Board Meeting held at New Hane Baptist Church, members of the Executive Board recognizing the necessity for the Colored Baptist of Kansas to be more fully alert to the political interests of their race selected a political steering committee which will represent Baptist interests in the political world and serve as a medium thru which members of the congregation may be kept in touch with the political situation as it may touch the race in the state and nation. The committee consist of the following leaders among the Baptist of Kansas: Dr. W. A. Bowren, President of the State Convention. Rev. W. H. Young, Topeka, Rev. Norris J. St-kee, Pratt, Rev. John Wesley, Wichita, Rev J. T. Elias, Pittsburg, Rev. L. V. Bolton, Topeka. Rev. B. C. Rannavalona, Wichita, Mrs. Emma Galnea, Topeka, Mrs. Ida Frazier Bates, Wichita, This committee will give practical attention to the many political problems which arise that may be of interest to voters of the race and church and endeavor to secure for the Baptists of Kansas the recognition due the political strength of the church in solving the affairs of the state and country. With the steady growing interests of the denomination in Kansas and the development of new political problems it has been recognized for some time that a steering committee fitted by brain and character ought to be utilized to represent and express the will of the church in the political world and give to the church a clear, logical exposition of the best political course to be promoted in the interests of the race in legislative and administrative affairs of the state.

BAPTIST CAUSE LOSES GREAT MAN BAPTIST CAUSE LOSES GREAT MAN With the death of Dr. Wm. L. Craft, National Field Secretary of the National Baptist Young People's Union and a National Worker of the National Baptist Convention, the Cause of the Church has suffered a great loss. Dr. Craft who died in El Paso, Texas, Thursday of last week, stood out among the Baptist Leaders of the country as a scholar, firm defender of the faith and loyalist to every demand and will of the church. As a B. Y. P. U., worker he gained and held the highest esteem and condolence of his associates who were looking forward with delight to hear from him in the June National Meeting of that Body to be held in Wichita. Noted for the remarkable development of the B. Y. P. U., under his efforts, Dr. Craft has for the last few years, held the entire country charmed by the forceful logic of his address in B. Y. P. U., meetings and the determined efforts which he has made in advancing the spirit of his church. Truly the Baptist of the United States will have great cause to again regret the passing of this great leader, Christian gentleman, forceful minister, and power, around which the B. Y. P. U., had steadily advanced, swayed by the grandour. His personality and beaming light of His exalted wisdom. Sleeping, may the beauty of his life work continue to shine and may its light ever give added brightness to the Baptist Cause for which he so faithfully labored. DEPARTED GONE TO REST WITH HIM.

She leaves a hurban, Mr. John Dunn, a son (somewhere) grandchildren, Mrs. Rhoda Orange, Misses Mary Lee, Mabel Lena and Mr. Gota A. Hemphill. They have our sympathy in this very sad hour. I. H.

That the fellow who is all the time worrying and complaining thru life is not a thinker? In short, the real thinker does not worry. What good does it do one to worry, anyhow? It is absolutely foolish. If you you can help a thing, go and do it; if you can't, then the worry won't help the condition. Just think seriously and and prayerfully and you can determine the proper course to take. And the worry is not necessary. Theu should not worry if long and useful life is thy desire. --- The COLERIDGE-TAYLOR CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC now known as the WABASH STUDIC OF MUSIC Phone M, 3130 1241 Wabash Avenu Only Diligent Pupils Are Accepted Develope Your Musical Side You May Surprise Yourself Strictly Modern Methods Used We give the Diploma Course Miss Dorothy L.

The signification of this name was that all the problems of life were submitted to God for His decision. God was made the arbiter of his life. This was the secret of Daniel's life. No doubt this presses the purpose of his parents in giving him the name. His name was changed to Belteshazzar meaning "Bel's prince," the one whom the chief god of the Babylonians favors. Hannah means, "gift of" or "beloved of Jehovah," and his name was changed to Shadrach which signifies, "Illuminated by the sun god, Hak." Mishna means, "who is as God" and his name was changed to Meshach meaning "who is like the goddess Sheach, the gentle one," Azarah means, "Jehovah is our help," and was changed to Ahebnego which means, "the servant of Nego." Back of the change of names was the attempt of Satan to wipe out the name of the true God and have these young men lose their separation and thus become nassiflat ed among the heathen. This involved their refusal to entiment and to drink, wine which was contrary to their teaching. In the case of Daniel, at least it also involved praying three times a day 4. Their Courtesy (sv. 8-13). Daniel seems to have been the spokesman for the company. Although Daniel's heart was fixed, he did not forget to be a gentleman. He requested to be excused from this ment and drink in order that he be not defiled. Christians should learn from this to be courteous even in times of great trials. God had brought Daniel into favor and tender love with those who were over him. III. The Success of Daniel and His Companions (v. 1421) 1. Their Physical Health (vy. 14-16) A test was made for ten days, and it was shown that they were farrier in countance and latter in flesh that those who indulged in the king's meat Godly and temperate living pays. It is obligatorium upon God's children today to conscientiously abstain from that which is contrary to His law. It means total abstinence from it. It abstains Piquots, and everything which would injure the health. 2. Mental Growth (vy. 17-20). Daniel and his companions were found to be ten three superior to their comrades in matters of wisdom and understanding. It is always true that those who abstain from indulging in the use of strong drink have clear minds and are mentally better equipped for their work than those who indulge. 3 The Social and Political Preferment (v. 10). They stood before the king. 4. Their Temporal Influence (v. 21) They were all advanced to position of influence and Daniel became president of the college of wise men, and the prime minister of the nation 5. Spiritual Insight (v. 17). Because of Bannik's loyalty to God visions embracing the entire history of the world came to him and Nebuchad pezzar's dream was revealed. Do Right Do right, and Gods recompense to you will be the power of doing more right. Give, and Gifts reward to you will be the spirit of giving more. With hold from God and the accounting will follow. Society Society is a more level surface than we imagine. Wise men or absolute fields are hard to be met with; and there are few glants or dwarfs.—Haz lit. ```markdown ``` ABILENE NOTES The Easter services given by the Mt. Zion Baptist, in the A. M.

Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Patterson are the proud parents of a baby boy. The "Old Spinsters Convention" given under the auspices of the "Moneta'Camp Fire Girls," was a very successful affair and thoroughly enjoyed by all who witnessed it. It brought to the mirds of the older people by-gone days. Miss Dora Bell in the role of Detsy Bokbett kept the audience entertained throughout the evening. All the old malds were at their best. Refreshments were served after the play. The girls are preparing to spend 10 days camp at the Summer School in Topeka. Two cars of young people were in town Friday nite taking in the carnival. Misses Evelyn Moman, Esther Chaves and Barbara Curtis had Salina, guests, Sunday. Sgt. M. Gibson and party motored to Salina, Sunday, to see the "Monarchs."

Mrs. Estella Logan was called to Topeka, to see her son who was very ill at the Santa Fe Hospital; and in a few days was called back to Paxico, on account of the death of her mother Mrs. Sarah E. Nichols. Mrs. Nichols' death came suddenly and unexpectedly; while she had not been feeling well for a long time but no one thot the end was so near. Her funeral was hell at the 1st Baptist Church at 2 p. m., (of which she was a faithful and helpful member) Rev. L. L. Stewart, officiated. The choir sang especially beautiful and many beautiful flowers. Mrs. Nichols was born in Smith County, Tenn. She professed a hope in Christ in Tennessee in her girlhood days and gave to the world a life of Christian service. After coming to Kansas with her husband, she was one of the chartered members of this church; she was a woman of excellent qualities and held in high esteem by all who were fortunate enough to know her. She was a loving mother; loyal Christian; and a good citizen. Her life and Christian influence will be missed in her home, in church, and among friends. She leaves a loving husband, two sons Jim and Henry Nichols; two daughters, Estella Logan and Corn B. Jones and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her departure. Among those from out of town who were here for the funeral; Mr. Ralph W. Logan, Mason City, Iowa; Mrs. Cora B. Jones, Kansas City, Kansas; Mrs. Beatrice Hill, Lawrence, Kansas; Mrs. Maria McFalls, Enid, Okla. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Winfrey, Wamego, Kansas; Mr. Cecil Bradley and Mr. Ben Nichols, Topeka, Kansas.

The service today reminded us of It seek to direct their reading. "Tell me what young folks read and I will tell you what they think." "No greater service can be rendered to any individual or group of young folks, than the stimulation of a desire for good literature. Any Church could establish a branch Library. The city Library would co-operate. Organize a "Reading Circle" or "Book Lovers Club." The Church could organize an orchestra, even under paid leadership, a Camera or Kodak Club; a Radio Club Tiles Club; Nature Study Club; First Aid Club. Then there is a Spiritual illiteracy in the average Church. After mobilizing the young folk, we could have classes studying the following: 1. "The History of the Church." 2. "The History of the Martyrs." 3. "The Story of the Christ." We could then lead the young folk to an intelligent discrimination in "Movies," "Art," "Music," "Reading," "Thrift." The statisticians tell us that only three of one hundred have a systematic religious training in a Christian Program. Let us remember that talent is not its own inspiration; talent is universal. Religious Education includes everything of Educational value. The task of directing the recreational life of the young people is a real program, but is being met in a most admirable way by the Athletic Teams, Tennis Clubs, Hiking Clubs, Camps, and Woodcraft. In many cities the churches are off-setting the attendance of their young folks at Sunday Base Ball, by Athletic Associations, with twilight games. This is proving very effective here in our own city. The social program in the church, is both possible and practical. The young people respond to this phase of the church activities; commercial recreation robs young folk of their initiative, help them provide their own social program. The average church can afford a portable Motion Picture Outfit. The young folk would enjoy promoting a sturt night, mock trial, literary program, picnic straw ride, candy pulling, spellingbee, weener roast sing-song and many other outings I could suggest certain books on Social Program for the Church. Over three hundred games for boys and girls have been arranged for convenient use of leaders of young fikl. Which is you preference, a social outing under Christian leadership or the present public dance, and indiscriminate frequenting of questionable movies and shows? 60TH ANNIVERSARY Beginning Monday nite April 6, the members of Spring Hill began their 60th Anniversary; the service was opened by 20 minute song service by choir.

Pope; his text was from Acts 59:7; subject: "Stephen, The First Martyr," He spoke of Christians that must be filled with grace and power to stand the test of afflictions. The church calls for strong men today for service. The Christian should have influence to do good in the community. We must stand up truth; To have courage in the face of danger, must be filled with the Holy Ghost.. Rev. Pope preached again at the evening services.
