THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.17,No.8, THINKING ON IMPORTANT MATTERS REV. L. VESTER BOLTON. Pastor Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church, Topeka, Kansas. The mind and pen from which this message comes, for many months, earnestly endeavored to get around directing a message of this nature to the thinking, praying, toiling Baptist of this great state; but the crash has come and the war is on and this is the time for all God fearing men to rise up in the defense of a man whose morals are unblemished, whose judgment is sound, whose leadership as an educator is safe to follow and whose work with and for the great educational institution which he directs and operates strictly in keeping with the orders of the great state of Kansas and to the profound satisfaction of the wisdom filled Board of administration and its Excellency, Gov. Ben S. Paulen; for these powers that he are not so blind as to wish to disrobe and rob a man who, today meets the world with a manly look and a strong character such as can not be impeached by even the worst men, of the glory with which he has covered himself because of tireless and honest service he has so well rendered the community and state in which it has been his to labor, therefore the ascribe to the principal and great leader of the Kansas Vocational College great praise and appreciation. For them to do this, is only doing the things which are in keeping with men of great hearts. Those whose hearts are made narrow by prejudice, envy, dislike, shallow thinking, selfish motives and a desire to rule or ruin will not make such declarations nor ascribe to this great educator the credit which he meritoriously deserves. To oppose good and great men has always been the position taken by self-seeking men, and to slay an able honorable man is the one chief delight of their hearts. To carry out their wicked desires they always resort to have and unfair measures, they slip around to cover the share your hand today and declare themselves your friends but rise up and go straight to their secret paces of assembly and sharpen their swords for your speedy murder. They never stop long enough to gather facts concerning him whom they would slay, they care not for the truth when once they have made up their minds to behead you. They busy and weary themselves trying to have those with whom they come in contact believe that you are the worse person in the world and the least fitted for the position which you hold. With their tongues they weave a mountain of prevarications and cover it over with an appearance of truth, by deceiving and causing aew good men to join their number. But this writer can not so easily be deceived by these self appointed leaders. JOHN H. HARRIS FORMER KANSAN SPEAKS FROM LAND OF TEXAS REV. M. C. LEWIS, Texarkana, Tex. Box 477. If it is not crowding out the Kansas Brethren, I should feel glad just to let my old friends and the readers of The Star, (the wonderful race journal) know of our labors in the Lone Star State. The Lord is wonderfully blessing our efforts; I was called in April, to another strong and reusable church in DeKalb, Texas, known as St. Paul Baptist Church at which place a great installation program is planned for June 23-28; for this reason alone, I shall not be able to attend the B. Y. P. U., and S. S. Congress in Wichita; notwithstanding we are expecting to represent both of my Sunday Schools. I have a large church at Hooks, Texas, of over 400 members; I am now pastoring nearly 600 of God's people in these churches, with very lucrative income we hope and are planning to shake hands with brethren in Baltimore, Md. in Sept, if the Lord wills it. TUPELO, MISS. GLEANINGS TUPELO, MISS. GLEANINGS SPRING HILL BAPTIST CHURCH In looking around,we find Mrs. Adline Montgomery, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Brewer, are on the sick list. The second daughter of Thomas Howard was buried Wednesday, May 6. We extend to them our sympathy in their state of bereavement. Mrs. Matilda Sims, wife of Mr. Pack Sirs, died yesterday morning, after a long illness; Rev. R. J. Simmons, officiating at funeral services. Our pastor was called to Baldwyn, to preach the commencement sermon for the Baldwyn High School, Prof. Ed. Griffin. Principal The following persons from this church attended the commencement sermon:—Bros. Guss Cooper, Arthur Williamson, W. A. Stokes, Mrs. Elaine Stones, Mrs. Carrie Jones. Mrs. Mary Wiley, and Georgia McClellan. The services last Sunday were excellent. The subject of Mother was forcibly discussed. We were glad to have in our service, Rev. Mrs. Brunson, Miss Mattie Maze, Bro. Jack Walton and Porter Cushmon from Rising Star; also Rev. Bartee from Pontotoc, Mr. George Brown from Alabama, and Mrs. Carrie Lee Simms from Hulke, Miss. parted the waves of friendship with the honored and highly respected Christian gentleman who is the present principal of the Kansas Vocational College, better known as the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute. I know whose names are signed to a petition which at present is in offices at the State House asking for the dismissal of the present principal. As I close permit me to say that Kenneke Vocational College, and its principal is a very much deserving of the moral and financial support of this State and we should not withhold our support from either. This school is a safe place to send your children. WICHITA, KANSAS. FRIDAY, May 22, 1925. The Red Bank Church of Hooks, is the United Parish church in the State organized in 1866. The 18th of timber for which to build said church was cut in 1867 and pastored for over 50 years at the Late Rev. Forrest Hooks, who led me to Christ, and baptized me in 1888 at the age of 11 years. I left the State when I was 13, for the Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, and it was there the Lord called me to this work of a Gospel Minister; and as I weal my pen my memory ripens, space will not permit me to say all. I was out of Bowie County, Texas, 32 years before returning here with multitudes of relatives; and with the blessing of a splendid, gifted and talented companion to help, I hope to put over a large program for God in every phase of my church activities. Yours for the building up of the Kingdom of our God and racial uplift. TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AND B. Y.P.

OUR KANSAS SUNDAY SCHOOLS AS OBSERVED BY A PRATERNAL DELEGATE FROM MARS TO OUR STATE CONVENTION— W. L. Hutcherson, Supt. New Hope Baptist Sunday School, Wichita Ks. (With apologies to H. E. Wilson) Enroute home from the N.Y. P.I.I. and Sunday School State Convention seated alone, a stranger whom I had observed in the sessions asked to share my seat. There being other seats in the train, I concluded that he wanted to confer with me; So, I moved over next to the aisle, giving him the seat near the window. He loved out of the window for a time and then turning to me, he said, enthusiastically: "You had a great Convention," "I am glad you liked it;" I replied. "Do you have such an organization in Mars?" "We have Young People's Societies, but they cover the entire range of life; the young people attend, not because parents compel, nor because they have no other place to go; but they come because of the attractiveness of our program, which is made so by the consecration of spirit-filled, well trained teachers. Our Religion is a living, vital thing with the young people. They make it a seven days' proposition. Of course, we make the base of religious instruction. The fathers and mothers are well trained in child training as well as Religion. In this country, you send your boys and girls to college to learn how to raise horses, cow hogs, wheat and corn. You call it rericulture; But very little is said of special courses in raising boys and girls—"Child-culture; 'Are ye not more than many sparrows?" And too, the adults think of themselves as a part of these societies. We do not have any parents who lie in bed on the Sabbath day, and tell their children to "Go," but rather, we hear public know that Rev. L. V. Bolden is now on his vacation, after raising $3920.53 in cash and $23275.00 in pledge at Shiloh Baptist Baptist Church, Topeka, where he has done such excellent work in 15 months: adding 157 to the church. He is resting in Marlin, Texas, where he is renewing his vigor so that he can give to the state one of the greatest church edifices it has. WANTED MEN and WOMEN for Government positions.

Saul Respecting JUNIOR TOPIC>Saul Freaching in Damascus INDEPENDENT AND SUNIOR TOPS Damascus MEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC Sale - Sold A Hold Manager IC—Saul a Bold Tracer YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Courage in Witnessing for Christ. 1. Saul Preached Christ in Damascus (v. 19-22). 1. Saul's Fellowship With the Disciples (v. 19). After Saul was baptized he remained certain days with the believers in Damascus (v. 19). How beautiful to think of the transformation which took place—the one who was so passionately bent on their destination was now enjoying fellowship with the disciples. 2. Straightway Preaching in the 2. Straightway Preaching in the Synagogues (v. 20) Saint, like every one who is really converted, begins to tell of the newly found Sailor. As soon as he is saved he goes to save others. His message concerned the delity of Christ. His doctrinal belief is summed up in six words, "He is the Son of God." 3. The People Amused (v. 21). They knew that the very one who had been the ringleader in persuading the Christians in Jerusalem, and had come to Damascus for the express purpose of bringing them bound to the chief priests, was now passionately advocating that which he had so vehemently sought to destroy. When a man is saved there ought to be such a change as to cause the people to notice it. 4. The Jews Confounded (v. 22) Saul retired into Arabia for three years. During this time he was taught the full truths of his ministry (Girl, 1:17 18). Saul increased in spiritual strength and confounded the Jews, proving that Jesus was not only the Son of God, but their Messiah. 11. Saul Escapes From the Jews (vv. 23, 25). He used the Scriptures with such skill that the Jews could not answer him. Finding that the argument was against them, the Jews took counsel how they might destroy Saul. So instant were they upon killing him that they watched the gates of the city day and night that they might take him. When this became known to the disciples, they let him down at night in a basket by the wall. III. Saul Visits Jerusalem (vv. 26-20). This journey to Jerusalem was in orange contrast with the one from Jerusalem to Damascus. The one was as a leader of an important expedition under the authority of the Jewish officers with the prospect of a place of distinction in the council of the Jewish nation. Now he is an outcast, disowned by his countryman, and fleeing for his life. These are the outward circumstances, but he knows the fellowship of the Lord Jesus whom he once hated. 1. Suspected by the Disciples (v. 20). The believers at Jerusalem had not heard fully about Saul's conversion. They knew nothing of his sojourn in Arabia, and his preaching at Damascus after his return. Therefore they regarded him as a spy. "Part of the penalty of wrecking is the difficulty of restoration in the good opinion of honorable men" 2. Barnabas' Confidence in Saul (v. 27). Barnabas was a man filled with the holy spirit (Acts 11:21) and therefore able to discern the reality of Saul's conversion. He was in reality a "son of consolation" and here showed his kind spirit. 3. Saul in Fellowship With the Disciples (v. 28). He was not content merely to visit with the braithun. He spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ IV. Saul Sent to Tarsus (v. 30). A conspirace) similar to that one at Damascus was formed against saul When the braithun knew of it they sent him to Tarsus. Saul's life was in danger everywhere except among the Gentiles. He now is back to the place of his birth. The first and best place for one's testimony is in his home. Saul's conversion was typical of the conversion of the Jewish nation. Their eyes will be opened by a personal revelation of Jesus (Christ to them, and when they) accept him as their Savior and Messiah, they will go forth as witnesses to the Gentiles. "To know all is to forgive all"—and to forgive is to save. A sense of duty may not be the highest motive, but the last men are moved by it.—Prosysterian Record. Giving to the Poor Give work rather than alms to the poor. The former drives out indulence, the latter industry. Be not familiar with the idea of wrong, for sin in infancy mothers many an ugly act. ```markdown ``` To the Baptist Brotherhood of Kansas: DEAR BRETHREN: Our fair state, Kansas by choice is the entertaining hostess of our National B.

The General Theme: "Saul Becomes a Christian;" proved a model lesson in our Sunday School. What a glorious thing to know that God can change great powers and cause the wrath of man to praise Him. At eleven a. m., our minister, Rev. B. L. Marchant, guided by the Holy Spirit, preached a great sermon. It was clear cut, logical, and much needed. The text and subject follow:—Rev. 11:1. "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod; and the angel stood, saying, Rise and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein." These are some points brought out in the sermon. Although we sometimes speak of material house of God as the temple, it is not the real temple. The The body is a part of the real temple and the collection of the clean temples forms the real temple—composed of lively stones. How is your altar-life? Do you have family worship? Do you attend prayer meeting or do you offer one or all of the following excuses?: 1. Oh! I am so tired! I have worked all day. 2. I was out Sunday night, Monday night, and Tuesday night; I just must take my rest. 3. I can pray as well at home. Which worshipper are you? Do you compare yourself with yourself? Do you compare yourself with someone else? Do you compare yourself with the correct standard? Jesus Christ. How long can you hold a grudge? How long can you hate? Strive for the correct dimensions which are found in the life of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It was indeed a pleasure to see the members of the B. Y. P. U., in their active worship of the True Christ. At 8 p. m., a Scripture Lesson was read from Prov. 8, Rev. B. L. Marchant used as a text Hosea 4.6 and Prov. 29.18; subject: "The Obtaining and Application of Knowledge." This was a special sermon for High School students and students of lower grades. Those who missed the sermon, missed what would have made their lives richer and better if they gave heed. Our Sick—Mrs. Ford is a little better. Mrs. Lottie Yarber worshipped with us Sunday. Mrs. Lottie Murray was ill last week. She is better. Miss Fannie Smith is very much improved. Mr. R. Cash continues to improve. Mrs. B. L. Marchant was somewhat indisposed recently. Mr. Branch does not improve very much. Miss Lela Walker has been ill; she is better. Our Heavenly Father saw fit to call Mrs. Salona McGee from labor, Tuesday afternoon. Miscellaneous—Remember our slogan: "Out of debt in August." The 5th Sunday in May, there will be services in our church, morning, afternoon, and evening. Everybody is invited to come and help, spiritually and financially. It is not rally-day, but come and we will do each other good. The Mother and Daughters' banquet the 15th inst, was well attended and enjoyed. A fine program was rendered. Sunday afternoon, our minister preached the Annual Sermon of the Daughters' of Isla. It was an interesting service. We were favorably impressed.
