Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.17,No.10, (continued from last issue) AS OBSERVED BY A FRATERNAL LEGATE FROM MARS TO OUR STATE CONVENTION— W. L. Hutcherson, Supt, New Hope Baptist Sunday School, Wichita, Kas, (With apologies to H. E. Wilson) only secular subjects were taught; but that in our Religious Schools, no definite training was received. Seeing my embarrassment, he changed the subject. However, I told him of our Institute and Community Training School. I was personally gratified with the impression I had made. I was "thrown out of gear" by his next question: I presume all your teachers have take this course in the community schools? "Not all!" I replied, "We have taken this course in the comuni-Sunday Schools, without even a mattering of any type of training." At your State Corporation," said he. I heard the report of the Committee on Periodicals; to what extend do your teachers purchase and read these books?" At first, I was a bit puzzled, but pulling myself together, I told I in that this was a local question. In some schools the books are purchased from school funds and the teachers meet in groups to study. But where it is left to the individual teacher, very little was done in this matter of volunteer reading. "What did the elderly gentleman mean, in the sectional conference on 'Teacher-Training' when he said that all the Lord required was consecration?" Again I found myself erbarrassed. However, calling upon my reserve courage, I advised, that the old gentleman was sincere, in so far as he had the light. But again he came back; "Consecration is good, but God is an intelligent being, and wants not only consecration but intelligence." Of course, I agreed. "Seemingly," said he, "Many of your Sunday School officers and teachers feel that to master certain abstractions such as the number of books in the Bible; in each division; the number of chapters in each book; how many times the word com-presti-bli-ty, and such matters, an absolute and fundamental requisite to being a good Sunday School teacher. Of course, they add a little 'Bluff.'" "Are the young people, in attendance, at the Convention, teachers and officers of your schools?" My reply was in the affirmative. He then asked if they paid their own expenses; and were responsible to their school, or were they on a pleasure trip? This question was indeed embarrassing. I had no further remarks. What are the accepted requisites for teachers in your schools, as far as you have been able to observe?" To evade the question, I asked him for the results from his visits to some of our better school. The following were the high points in his reply:—(a) Must learn quickly, some sterotyped phrases, such as 'vital interest,' 'get the point,' 'put the program over,' 'God's program.' (b) Must be able to put over a few stunts; such as: "Ten Party," "Weiner Roast," Sunrise hive, etc. (c) To be able to use the phrase Departmental- (continued next issue) MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED Rev, B. C. Rannavalona, assistant pastor of Calvary Baptist, and pastor of Pleasant View Baptist Church, of Caldwell, was accorded a great reception by the citizens of Clay Center, Kansas, on Memorial Day where as the first representative of his race, he delivered the Memorial Day Address. Arriving in Clay Center early Saturday morning, he was escorted to the finest hotel of the city by F. L. Parrott, editor of the Post-Dispatch, and Miss Mary Louder, daughter of William Louder, commander of the Phil Sheridian G. A. R. Post. Immediately following breakfast, in company with leading men of the city, Rev. Rannavalona was hurried to the Clay Center Cemetery, where, in the presence of over two thousand people from Clay Center and the sur MANY HURT IN WEST VIRGINIA CYCLONE WELCH, W.

After reviewing the Memorial Day parade in the afternoon in company with city officials of Clay Center and officers of the local post, Rev. Rannavalona delivered the Memorial Address at the Opera House which was filled by an audience of seven hundred. The subject, 'America Re-constructed,' was well received by the large group of hearers who frequently applauded the speaker. After a glowing tribute to the soldiers of the Civil War Period, the speaker launched into a message dealing with principles which he held, must be supported by American Citizenship if hidden menaces to the safety of the government, are to be avoided. Dangers emphasized were Economic Slavery, Excessive Law Violation, Socialistic Trend of the Masses and Foreign Invasion of American Industry. THOMAS LEE, RIVER DISASTER HERO, VISITS PRES.

WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, June 5, 1925. BAPTISTS OPEN $50,000 CAMPAIGN FUNDS FOR SEMI NARY IN CAPITAL WASHINGTON, D. C., June—A drive for a fund of $50,000 for the establishment of the projected Washington Baptist Seminary was launched Thursday at a one-day special session of the General Baptist Convention of the Di-trict at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. Rev. W. H. Jernagin presided. It is proposed to erect the seminary on the $35,000 site already obtained in the Douglas Park. A full course of study is to be inaugurated next October in the temporary quarters to be opened soon, it was announced. Principal speakers at the Convention were: Rev. J. E. Briggs, Pastor of the First Baptist Church and exmoderator of the Columbia Association, and Rev. W. L. Washington. The raising of the subscriptions has been worked out on a five year basis whereby subscribers will pay a fifth of their pledges each year. Many subscriptions are said to have already been pledged. It is reported that a prominent Baptists living in the South have pledged to give the last $1,000 needed, when the subscriptions have reached a total of $49,000. Location of the headquarters of the campaign will be announced later. COURT UPHOLDS WILL OF MAN GIVING $200,000 ESTATE TO HIS EMPLOYEES LEXINGTON, KY. June 5—A verdict unholding a bequest of the bulk of his estate to his Negro servants, was returned here when a jury unanimously agreed last Wednesday that John T. Hughes, wealthy Kentuckian, made his final will on March 28, 1924. In that paper Hughes left $100,000 to the Kentucky Female Orphan School at Midwav and the remainder, valued at about $200,000, to Ellen Davis Negro housekeeper, and other servants. An appeal probably will be filed, attorneys for the estate said. A home in the Blue Grass farming section, described as a beautiful colonial residence, of 12 rooms, filled with costly antique furniture, china and silver, now goes to the housekeeper and to Robert H. Hughes, natural son of Hughes and Ellen Davis. Portraits of the Hughes family hang in the home. Robert Hughes was outside the courtroom when the verdict was read but his mother heard the verdict. She did not restrain her joy and rocked back and forth in her chair, smiling happily. Dozens of friends, many of them white persons, filed past and congratulated the aged woman. IN GRADUATE RECITAL Last Thursday evening marked another round in the realms of fame for Mrs. H. T. Geeder at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, where she rendered her graduating program from the Three Art Conservatory of music, in voice recital. She made a new record for herself as a Dramatic Soprano Soloist. She was wonderfully assisted by the readings of Miss Laura H. Rowles and Piano renditions by Mrs. Tulie Ballard. The public tried to show their appreciation in flowers, and lords were in evidents. Mrs. Geeder is the wife of one of our efficient doctors; she is also t teacher in one of the city schools. ANNOUNCEMENT. DR. H. H.

Moore, Pastor 1st Bapt. Nicodemus, Kansas. "But they supposing Him to have been in the company, went a day's journey and they sought him among their kinfolks and acquaintance." Luke 2:44. SUBJECT: "LEFT BEHIND." A few days ago while writing on the subject, "Jesus an Active Church Member;" and speaking of his early life and the fundamental principles of active church workers; it was decided that it was largely credited to church-going and consecrated parents. Now, today the subject brings us face to face with the thoughtfulness of this dear and kind Parent. We must admit that they were good and consecrated parents and to discuss their knowledge of Christ's program would be out of harmony with the subject; for the thought of neglect of valuable duties and over-confidence in others is the thought which I wish to guard against in the subject. 2. They supposing Him—Not knowing, nor investigating, but leaving it to the honesty of their friends and acquaintances. One of the greatest failures of humanity is to leave our own duty to our friends. It brings failure in almost every work of life, viz;—(1) The child who is left to be educated. (2) The church which is left to be supported spiritually and temporally; and any forward advancement of the human race becomes a failure when left solely to friends and kindred. Went a day's journey (without Jesus) It is sad enough to know that Jesus is among our friends and acquaintance and not with us but how sad it is for the soul to go a day's journey without Jesus, when we consider the many things in this life to upset the soul. The storm of temptation, the hail of discouragement, the waves of trouble and sorrow, and fiery darts of satan, and all the forced combined against us, it will be unsafe to a day's journey without Jesus. They sought Him among their kindred and acquaintance, (but found Him not) Seeking for Jesus, where He had not been invited, the worldly minded and thoughtless friends had GREATEST SPEAKER OF THE AGE HERE SUNDAY The opportunity is ours in the city to hear Hon. Wm. Pickens, the Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., who will deliver his first address at New Hope Baptist Church at 11:00 a. m. His principal address at the Mass Meeting at St. Paul A. M. E. Church at 3 p. m., will be worth your presence If it is impossible for you to attend the other meetings, your last chance will be to be at Calvary Baptist Ch., at 8:00 p. m., where he will reach his climax. You owe it to yourself and the race to hear one of the best in the race. The other race acknowledges that, why not you show appreciation of the fact? We invite you to come and be fed from this rich storehouse of knowledge that study and experience have laid away. Caldwell, Kansas Notes We were very sorry our pastor, Rev. Rannavalona, could not be with us Sunday, but we are proud of him, and glad to know that he was the one chosen of the many, to make an address for the G. A. P., on Decoration Day at Clay Center. Prayer services were held here both Sunday morning and Sunday night. Sunday School attendance, good; also B. Y. P. U., attendance in the evening at 7 p. m. Mr. and Mrs. Will Harvey and children of Arkansas City, spent Decoration Day here with Mrs. Mary Montgomery. Mrs. P. F. Keele and daughter, and son, Roscoe, spent Decoration Day and Sunday in Dover, Okla. Mr. Will White of Kansas City, was here for Decoration Day and remained over, Sunday. Mrs. Fred Graves, Mrs. Rosa Williams, Mrs. Elsie Clayton, Mr. John Brown of Herrington, and Mr. Will Morris of Pratt, spent Decoration Day here. Mr. Sam Brown of Dover, Okla., and Mr. Lou Brown of Tulsa, Okla., drove up for Decoration Day; their brother, Mr. Charlie Brown, accompanied them back. forgotten to see if Jesus was among their children. Many homes and churches are in the habit of looking for Jesus among them and yet their hearts and minds are overflowing with worldly pleasures, Jesus will not come in without admission. Jesus said unto the church of the Laodiceans in Rev. 3:20, "Behold I stand at the door and knock, if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in." He says to His disciples, "Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye all find, knock and the door shall be given unto you." 3. The value of having Jesus with us cannot be estimated. First, let us consider who we are in company with when Jesus is with us. (1) He is the Prince of Peace. (2) He is the wonderful Counsellor. (3) He is the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, Is. 9; 6. He is The Way, The Truth and Life. John 14. 'He is The Beginning and Ending. Rev. 1.8. A Brother in Tribulation and a Friend that sticketh closer than a brother. My desire is that they who read this sermon, will avoid the sad mistake of leaving Jesus out their lives and that in every work of life, they will not leave it to the honesty of their friends and kindred, but will strive each day to have Jesus with them; because He will guide in all paths of Righteousness.

SPLENDID OPENING The opening of the Coleridge-Taylor Conservatory of Music Monday, was one of the most spectacular occasion ever held in Wichita, or in Kansas. Nearly 300 people came out. They are still coming and over 500 will have visited this spot ere the dawn of another week if they continue all week as they have thus far. All visitors were anxious to see what this one little lady, Miss Sims, the founder has been doing. They were agreeably surprised to find such beautiful building so usefully furnished. All of the speakers were at their best and gave out much inspiration and encouragement to the workers and listeners. Echoes of their messages are still being heard. Those who took part on the program were Rev. J. W. Hayes, Rev. Walton Brown, Rev. B. L. Marchant, Dr. Ross W. Sanderson, Mr. Lester Weatherwax, Mr. W. L. Hutcherson, Mrs. F. O. Miller, Mrs. Katherine Geeder and Mrs. F. C. Helm. The building spoke for Miss Sims. Thru Mr. Weatherwax a scholarship is offered to any boy or girl at the C. T.

Cornellus (10.12) 1. His Official Position (v. 1). He was a Roman officer over a company of 100 soldiers. (3) He was charitable. (4) He was respected by his family. The Lord chose Coptius for the transition of the gospel to the Gentiles because of his character and position II. The Supernatural Preparation for the Transition of the Gospel to the Gentiles (10.3.33). In order to bring this about: 1. Two Visions Were Given (1) The vision of Cornulus (v. 38). While engaged in prayer, an angel of God announced that his prayer and alms had come before God as a memorial, and instructed him to send to Joppa for Peter who would tell him what to do. (2) The vision of Peter (v. 1916). He saw a certain vessel containing clean and unclean animals let down from heaven. This vessel let down from heaven and taken back indicated that both Jews and Gentiles were accepted on high. 2. A Messenger Sent From Cornellus (vv. 1722) Peter was greatly perplexed over what he had seen but not for long for messengers from Cornellus made inquiry at the gate for him. The Spirit informed Peter of the matter, and bade him go, nothing doubting. Thus we see that both had been prepared for each other by God. 3. The Meeting of Cornellus and Peter (v. 2333). (1) Peter took six witnesses along (v. 23). He had the good judgment to know that on a matter of so great importance, he must have witnesses. (2) Cornellus waiting for Peter (v. 24). He called together his kinsmen and friends. (3) Cornellus about to worship Peter (v. 25-26). Peter repudiated his not and pro- tracted that he was but a man along- side of Cornelius. (4) The redprocal explanation (vv. 27 31). Peter explained to him how God had taken from him his Jewish prejudice, and asked that Cornelius state the purpose of his having sent for him. Cornelius explains how God had appeared unto him and instructed him to send for Peter. III. Peter's Sermon (vv. 34 43). I. The Introduction (vv. 34 35). He showed that God is no respecter of persons, but that in every nation those who fear God and work right equality are accepted of Him 2. Hla Dbcourse (vv. 30 43). In the discourse he touched briefly upon the mission of Jesus showing that by means of His baptism and anointing with the Holy Spirit, He was qualified for His work as mediator. He then exhibited the work of Christ (1) In His life (vv. 3039). He went about doing good, even casting out demons as a proof that God was with Him (v. 328) (2) In His death (v. 29). The just suffered for the unjust that He might bring us to God, be- put to death in the flesh (1141 318) (3) In His resurrection (1141 414) God raised Him up the third day showing openly that Christ was His Son (Rom. 1:4), and that His purifi- cal work was satisfactory (Rom 4:25) IV. The Holy Spirit Poured Out (1141 414). As the gospel was entering upon its whole embrace, the Spirit came in new power. V. Peter Vindicates His Ministry to the Gentiles (11:1-15). Being called to account for visiting and eating with Gentiles, Peter rehearsed the whole story in such a way that his narrative took the form of logical argument, and showed how that God had set His seal upon the work by the miraculous gift of the Spirit.
