THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.17,No.14, 'A HAPPY HOME' By Miss Ora Norwood 2608 N. Allis Kansas City, Kansas. A happy home means more than a beautiful structure of four walls and a roof; and having carefully selected furniture and drapery. For a happy home, I would build a foundation, using truth for my motto, mixed well with the water of honesty using a paddle of unselfishness to mix them; having for my chief corner-stone, perseverance cementing the whole with friendship. I would have the walls of confidence and roofed with love. In selecting my furniture I would not forget the small things which are so useful. I would get a large container, which is kindness and fill it with patience; having it handy at all times, also a door mat of welcome, an easy chair of courtesy for each member of the family; treating each with kindness as one would a visitor. We are home-makers, let us not forget that the spirit of the home depends on us. We can not be angels in the streets, saints in the church, and devils in the home and have happy homes. To be true home makers, we must be true Christians. Christian homes mean good churches and communities in which to live. As a home tonic: take 2 ozs of discipline, G ozs of prevention, sweeten with charity (being careful not to get it too sweet, as it may spoil) simmer down low; put into a container of prayer, cork with faith, give as often as needed to the entire family, taking a generous dose often myself. Our earthly homes are a smalllikeness of our heavenly home. When we the children of the B. Y. P. U., the daughters of the Mission and the sons of the Deacon Board, shall be gathered with mother church to Our Father's Heavenly Home, where we shall praise His name in unity and on one accord, and perfect love throughout eternity, then that shall be Heaven and home thrust out eternity. Coffeyville Notes. The Summer School Session is half gone. Satisfactory reports are being received of the work at both schools.

Those who failed to take advantage 'WOMAN'S WORK IN THE WORLD' Read by Mrs. Cora Johnson of Tremont Baptist Church. Bro. Pastor, Master of Ceremonies, Ministers and Friends:— I feel it is a pleasure for me to come before you and read in your hearing, subject: "Woman's Work in the World." A Woman's Work in the World is great and multifarious; it is a work which she alone can do. I don't mean to compare her with man; but compare woman with woman. Judge what women can do by what they have done. She can inspire when man fails; 'tis hers to uplift, purify and adorn what great cause of the world has brought about the desired results without woman's help. She did not bring down the lightning and connect electricity with thought that different countries could talk to each other. This woman's responsibility to teach the young men what it is to be true men; what it is to be a loyal man; a man in every sense of the word; to teach the young woman to be womanly; that it is honorable to work. In the age of chivalry and knighthood the laws of human nature were expressed when the crowning of the victor was assigned to woman's hand, as on the knightly fields. So it is on the great battle-field of life: woman's power is very great. It has been said whatever the women are the men will be sure to be. Knowing this, fit yourself for the great emergency about you. This power is in your hand—it is yours and you cannot change it. It belongs to you as women. Do you know that our ministers would be nobler in all things, in all the best attributes of their calling, if our women were to insist upon it? Now, having attained womanhood, let us aim to be first in the pursuit of our life's work. We cannot reach the topmost round at once; and if we get there at all, there must be something in us worthy of the upper rounds. of the hayrack outing to the Lowe home, nine miles East of the city, Tuesday evening, missed a great treat. Miss Lowe knows the business of receiving and making people feel at home. CONGRESS IN WICHITA CONGRESS IN WICHITA (By Chas. Stewart) WICHITA, KANSAS, June 24-28 The twenty-fourth annual session of the National Baptist Sunday school & B. Y. P. U. Congress, has passed into history as one of the greatest sessions ever held. The interest, the attendance and influence increased every year, and there is much clamor for the sessions in all parts of the country. This year there were invitations from Detroit, Mish., Brooklyn, N. Y., Birmingham, Ambrose, Nashville, Leuin, and Columbus, Ohio. The question will be settled at the Board Meeting to be held in Baltimore, during the session of the National Baptist Convention No time in the history of Wichita, were there as many special trains in the city bringing delegates to the Convention. It is said to be the largest religious organization of the race that ever assembled in the state of Kansas and the people were loud in their praises of the delegation and the delegates were equally as loud in praising Kansas. Rev. J. W. Hayes, and the other pastors and people covered themselves with glory. The sessions of the Congress were held in the Forum, the largest auditorium in the city, seating 15,000 people, and on several occasions during the week it was packed, Dr. Daniel W. Cannon, although in bad health, pre- and he was aided by the vicepresident, Dr. W. H. Jernagin ever being ynslite. "We rejoice that the Lord had spared us to meet once more in our annual Congress," said Dr. D. W. Cannon, of Atlanta, Ga., in calling the June 24, "and I am proud to be Congress to order Wednesday more so many of your present. We ar (Continued on page four) WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, July 3, 1925 40TH SESSION SOUTHEASTERN DISTRICT ASSOCIATION Our Watch Word Is: "Meet us at Cherryvale, Kansas" TO THE PASTORS AND WORKERS OF THE SOUTHEASTERN DISTRICT ASSOCIATION, DEAR CO WORKER. - This comes to inform you, that we are nearing our 40th Annual Session of the Southeastern District Association. We must all admit that each day of past year, has brought with it great responsibilities, and a number of very difficult problems, that each pastor had to solve. We are all very confident, and can say as the Psalmist, the Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad. Brethren, let us remember that the Lord has let His business in our hands. He expects each of us to be faithful in the discharge of our duty. Let us make this meeting at Cherryvale, one of the best ever held in the District. Every Pastor and Worker in the District, are ask to be present at Cherryvale when the Women open the 25th Annual Session of the Southeastern District time and Foreign Mission Convention. The Pastors are the leaders in the District, and ought to be present at the opening of this great meeting. So one of the pastors in the District will wait until the last day of the Association, before they will put in their appearance, brethren this is wrong, let us not do that, again. Moderator Elias, is asking every pastor, to see to it that his churches represented in it is meeting. Brethren, please get busy and see to it that your church raise some money for this meeting. Many of the present day pastors are a great hindrance to the cause of Christ. Many of them will not encourage their churches to play well their part on this financial program. Every church in the District, can and will do something; if the pastors would only plan the work, and submit the plans to the church. Brethren, let us not be a hindrance to this great cause, for which our predecessors have given their lives. Let us quit trying to make our churches believe that they cannot do. Why don't you tell your members that they cannot keep us their Lodge dues, and their insurance? Try that as while and see what effect it will have on them. Many of our churches would do their whole duty, if the leaders, were not continually telling them that you are not in a position to do for the church. Have you lost faith in God? Don't know that this is God's cause or work? Don't you know that He knows that we must have finance to operate this church work, for watch His Son gave Him still? Brethren, please read Matt. 18 19-20 Again, I may unto you, that if two, of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Why not get two or three consecrated members in your church, and take this important matter up with our Lord and Master? Let us not lose faith in our Great Commander, because He said, before they call, I will answer, and while they are yet speaking I will hear. Let us pray for the success of the coming session, let every church be represented, let the pastors and other messengers, be on the ground Tuesday morning July the 21. Brethren, don't forget to meet us at Cherryvale. REV. J. T. ELIAS, D. D. MODERATOR. REV. A. L GARDNER, secretary PROGRAM OF THE ANNUAL MINISTERS AND DEACONS' UNION OF S. E.
