THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 17, No. 6, CORNER STONE LAYING Salina. K. News. ST. JOHN MISSION CIRCLE Sunday May 3rd was a day long to be remembered in the hearts of the Baptists of Salina. The laying of the corner stone at the Greater St. John Baptist Church was the feature of the day. Rev. S. A. Williams, Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, Coffeyville Kansas, and former pastor here was present and officiated during the day. Dr. W. A. Bowren, Pres. of the State Convention, and Dr. A. W. Ross, State Missionary, were present. The program for the day was carried out in splendid form with a very large attendance at each service. At 11 a. m., Song service by the Senior Choir; Pastor Williams then read his favorite passage of Scripture, the 27th Psalm; prayer by Lev. A. W. Ross. Rev. Bowren delivered a soul stirring sermon, based on Is. 11S:22, 23. The subject of his discourse was, "Christ, The Chief Corner-stone." A big basket dinner was served, free to all. At 3 p. m., the auditorium was again filled to its capacity. Song service by Junior Choir. Afterwhich Rev. A. W. Ross preached a powerful sermon, selecting his text from Heb. 10 25. Theme: "The Church and the Renson for its Support." Afterher sermon the large congregation led by Pastor Williams, Rev. Bowren and Rev. Ross, marched over to the new church building where the laying of the corner-stone took place; ceremonies by Dr. W. A. Bowren, prayer by Rev. Enyard, Pastor of the A. M. E. Church of this city; an offering of $83.33 was taken up in this service. At 8 p. m., Song service by the Senior Choir, Short talks by the following deacons:O. T. Green, John Hayes, Jas. Payton and N. E. Wigley, Very splendid addresses were made by Prof. P. G. Porter, and Dr. H. H. Wilson; after which Rev. Bowren brought another burning message, usern as a text; "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not wash." The day was well spent in services for the Master; the collection for the day was $168.75. We appreciated having Pastor Williams and those noted state characters, Rev. Bowren and Rev. Ross with us on that day. We also wish to thank our many friends from the neighboring towns and other churches of the city who worshipped with us and gave so freely of their means. On Monday evening Pastor Williams delivered his farewell sermon, to a well filled house, a feeling of sadness prevailed as this beloved pastor who has labored with us the past four years, spoke to us out of God's Word from Deut. 31:6, subject: "An Unfailing God." He admonished the Church to "Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them, for the Lord thy God. He it is that doth go with thee." During the 4 ears that Pastor Williams labored here, much good has been accomplished, his works will live long in the hearts of the people of Salina; He goes from us carrying our best wishes and fervent prayers for his success, and our deep appreciation for the faithful service rendered here. Pastor Williams left Tuesday morning for Coffeyville, making the trip over land accompanied by his little niece, Mary Frances Jones. Rev. W. F. Waters of Texarkana Ark, has been called to the patronate of St. John Baptist Church. He comes to us highly recommerred. He is expected to pay the church a visit May 6.—Church reporter.

Miss Elizabeth Certrude Stern (white) of New York, has recently called the attention of the public to the experiment which is taking place in that city in the matter of endeavor to dramatize racial traits of the Negro. In a complimentary vein, Miss Stern has described the Ethiopian Art Theatre, a New York Institution of drama devoted to proving that the Rave's contribution to the american stage may be as great as it has been to poetry, music, etc. There could have been added to those comparisons, without fear of improvesty, science, warfare, industry and doe-s of other branches of American progress in which the Negro has risen to the same dizzy heights of perfection as those set by his teachers. However, as to the Negro students attending the Ethiopian Art Theatre Mrs Stern generously states that they have been found easy to teach, ready to receive, eager to learn, and responsive to suggestions, and that they need but to be shown to grasp a mood or an expression. The inference is as plain as day, namely, that the Ethiopian Art Theatre will eventually produce a black Mansfield, a Marlowe, a Mantell or an Ellen Terry just as there have been producet in other walks of life Hayes, Harrison, Carver, and endless numbers of "stars" in virtually every latitude of world endeavor. It is well and good for Anglo Saxons to boast of their years of civilization; but it is a sad beautiful ray of spring with fragrance of flowers and songs of birds, whose voices have been hashed by the snow and frost of the winter.

Shire on as life's great race you run Until the Master says, "Well Done." —By Mrs. M. L. Copeland "perfection" is 'to be kept within the extremes of their own minds. There have ever been among and there ever will be, for this matter, kind people like Miss Stern, who are opening wide the portals o. w. dor at the world's black foll; and who can yet indisputably assert that the latter may have some innate gift or emotion, when given its sphere of activity, may carry the black man to heights unknown by any other man? In the meantime, the Ethiopian Art Theatre is doing a noble work in dramatizing racial traits—traits which exhibit something more than comedy and spiritualistic Negro-lige—traits which will eventually carry all people back to the days of the Master of men. Some thre the veil of color will be lfted from this old world, and we shall see each other as God sees us, when we know that the yawning gap of race differences ill disappear like the early morning polls.

That the best remedy for trouble is pleasure? When one is in trouble he should go at once and get a big dose of happiness—true happiness, comes as a result of readjustment of the state of mind. Just think how and better, off you are than some others, and pray for more faith, then you will see something for which you should be happy. Remember that true happiness does not come from without but largely dependent upon the inner self acted upon by the Great Spirit and the first thing is a giving up of the lighter impressions and a seeking guidance in the deeper thoughts.

Mrs. Tyree, the lyric soprano more than please the audiences with her won'eful voice and artistic playing. Mr. Brown manager of the company, held the audiences spellbound with several readings from Dunbar, among which all are still speaking of "When De Cone Pone's Hot;" Mrs. Brown gave several solo numbers which were enjoyed by all. (Continued from last issue) We come n to the fourth phase of development; that of the Spiritual Life. Success in religious work with young folk is ten per cent program and ninety per cent leadership. A good trame d leader can make a poor program a success; but a poor leader cannot succeed with even the best program, but it does not minimize the importance of building an adequate program, but it does magnify the importance of securing and training an adequate leadership. To challenge the young folk with a definite Religious Program, we must first know the field; find the needs; fit the program. Our study courses should be graded, we should have graded Bible Study classes; graded instructions in:—1. Church History; 2. Mission (World-outlook;) 3. Church membership; 4. Church organization We should seek to promote:—1. Loyalty to the Church; 2. Religious Epression:—(a) In Word; (b) In Service: (c) In Life; 3. Co-operation in Church Activities; 4. Personal Bible Study and Prayer; 5. Personal Work. We should have a standard by which to measure our work. Some yard stick, as it were, I would like to suggest the following:—A. Individual Standards: 1. First, Accept Jesus as personal Savior and Life's Ideal; 2. Intelligently and actively join the church; 3. Progressively develop in Christian experience and standards of life; 4. Clearly hear Christ's call to service; 5. Face the problems of choosing a life work. B. Group Standard:—1. Simple but Complete organizations; 2. Fourfold program with definite group eservice; 3. Graded Religious Instructions; 4. Juxtaful and trained Leadership; 5. Primary Loyalty to the Church and its Activities. Finally, let us remember that a stream can not rise higher than its source. If the church, is to expect Spiritual results in its work with the young folk, it must maintain Spiritual emphasis. And to those who are to lead in this work, take this as your gulde: "I never will attempt any work with young folk except as it will tend to permanently advance the Kingdom of God among Young Men and Young Women." RELIGIOUS AFFARS OF KANSAS Sunday School Lesson [By RFV P H FITZWATER DD, Dean of the Evening School Moody Bible Institute of Chicago] 10.12.1928 Western Newspaper Union Lesson for May 10 PHILIP AND THE ETHIOPIAN TREASURER LESSON TEXT—Acta 8 26-39 GOLDEN TEXT—The entrance of Thy words ghett light '—Pa 119 130 PRIMARY TOPIC—A Man Did What God Told Him JUNIOR TOPIC—Philip and the Ethiopian Treasurer. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Philip Won the Ethiopian, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Use of the Bible in Evangelism. 1. Philip Meeting the Ethiopian (vv. 2030a). 1. Leaving Work by Divine Direction (v. 20). The Lord called Philip as is from a great work in Natarli and specifically directed him to this man Abraham like, he obeyed the divine command not knowing why he should leave the work in Natarli and go into a desert place. As he journeyed on by faith he esploded the state charlot of the Ethiopian treasurer. The Spirit of God directed him to go near and join himself to the charlot. The tactful question put to the treasurer gained him a seat by the side of this dignified officer. The mission which at first seemed so unpromising was now clear. 2. An Officer of State Seeking the Way of Salvation (q.v. 27.28). The Ethiopian had been to Jerusalem to worship. Despite his high official position he was not ashamed of the worship of God. The journey from that far off country required much hardship and expense, but to the one whose soul years after God, this is all joy. 3. A Providential Meeting in the Desert (iv 2930). The coming together of these two men was clearly the predetermined way of God. II. Philip Preaching to the Ethiopian (vv. 20b-35) 1. The Ethiopian's Employment on the Way (vv. 30). His occupation at the time of this meeting was reading the Word of God. At the Invitation of the Ethiopian Philip joined himself to the chant and found him reading from the 53d chapter of Health. This is a most excellent way to spend one's time while traveling. 2. The Absolute Need of a Preacher (v. 31). The Ethiopian was reading one of the clearest testimonies to the Moslem in the Old Testament, yet he was unable to get anything out of it. The fact that the Ethiopian, a great statesman, needed an interpreter of the Scriptures, even such a plain passage as the Sihchapter of Isaiah shows the absolute need of a preacher. The gospel must be experienced before one can be a witness to its saving power. The human mind is blind to spiritual things, making the work of an evangelist indispensable. If an statesman of this rank was unable to grasp the meaning of such a clear passage, it should not be thought strange that for the rank and file of men a guide is needed. God has designed that through the foolishness of preaching the world should be saved. Preaching the Word of God will always be necessary. 3. Philips Message (vv. 5233). He began at the Scriptures which the Ethiopian was reading and preached unto him Jesus. This shows us that the person represented in the 53d chapter of Isaiah was Jesus instead of Israel, also that the central theme of the preachers message should be Jesus. He did not preach Jesus as a great teacher, but as a Sailor who had suffered and died instead of sinners. He preached Him as the one who had offered Himself as a prisoner. Philip Dapized the Ethiopian (vv. 5235). As a result of Philip's preaching the cuneum proposed baptism. When Christ is truly promised, in naturally desire to confess Him in baptism Where this feeling is lacking the gospel in its fullness is evidently not preached. The Ethiopian might have offered many excuses for neglecting this important ordinance, but like every man who is born before that he was willing at any cost to read obedience. The proof that men really believe in Jesus is their willingness to render obedience to His Word. It is faith in Christ that saves but those who have genuine faith desire to send it in baptism. Having secured from the Ethiopian in the proper confession Philip baptized him. IV. The Ethiopian Rejoicing (v. 12) Confession of Christ always brings joy. Those who obey the commandment of the Lord can go on their way rejoicing. Truth Truth is as impossible to be solicited by any outward touch as the sunbeam — Milton. Makes Life Worth While It is faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth looking at. Godliness Godliness shall not be an addition to my life, but it shall be my life itself— C. H. Spurgeon. ```markdown ``` Caldwell, Kansas Notes PLEASANT VIEW BAPTIST CH. Sunday morning services good.
