NEGRO AMERICANS WANT BETTER LIVING QUARTERS MAKE STIRRING From Federal Council of Churches, Washington Office, 937 Woodard Bldg. Washington, D. C. Arthur E. Hungerford. WASHINGTON, July, 17—Efforts of Negro Americans to find suitable homes throughout the country make a stirring story, as related in the introduction of a report on housing by the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches. Negro families are attempting to move from alleys and congested districts in nearly every part of the country. In some cities where they have moved into neighborhoods tenanted by white residents their new homes have been set on fire and in others they have been bombed, declares the report. C. M. E.

St. Paul Notes. A large congregation was present at 11 a. m. and enjoyed the eloquent ser- mon delivered by Bishop A. J. Carey as had been announced would be present with us; His text was from 147th Psalm 3-7: "He healeth the broken l. heart and bindeth up their wounds." He told of God's comfort in sorrow and strength in weakness.

July 17—A large section of one of Detroit's newest residential districts in the northwest part of the city was under special police guard Wednesday following a two-day disturbance in which 21 race men are arrested. It is said that several pitched battles were fought and scores of shots fired, although none was reported injured. It is said that the attempt of Vollungon Bristol, a wealthy race undertaker, to move into his newly built home on American avenue roused white residents of the district and started aew the race hostilities that marked the rout of another wealthy man, Dr. J. E. Turner, when he bought a home in the same district a week ago. It is reported that Dr. Turner later sold out. But Bristol stood his ground and on Thursday was occupying his premises under police protection. Bristol said he had owned the lot for four years and had made no secret of his intention of ultimately building a home on it and declares he will use force to remain in it. No other Negro families have ever lived in that section it is said. lost—that there are two great forces of power, constructive and destructive; we are on one side, either for good or evil. Bishop Carey, with our pastor, Rev. R. L. Pope and Presiding Elder, J. W. Williams, left at 2 p.m., for Winfield. The evening services 3 p.m., were conducted by Rev. S. S. Washington The session of our Bible School, at 9.45 a.m., had a good attendance; Bishop Carey made a splendid talk, said he, "The S. S., strengthens spiritually and prepares for the greater tasks and duties in life. We were pleased to have a number of visitors among them was Mr. Jas. Taylor, who favored us with a pleasing vocal solo. O. J. WASTON MOTOR COMPANY HAS WRONG MAN --- The O. J. Waston Motor Company fell 99 degrees in the estimation of the 7000 Negroes in Wichita beside those outside of the city when they read the ad in Thursday's Beacon, where they had a 1923 Overland Car that shines like a "nigger's Heal." First we could not conceive that a representative firm like that could have such a character as that to put its business before the public. Second, we could not imagine what color it would be to shine like a "nigger's heal" if the good brother wanted to use the word to describe the color (as his race without the consent of our race has given us all colors in our race) we still did not know whether White or Black. Now, white shines and black shines; so which one of the heals has puzzled us. Now, white can be seen a far off because of it selfishness to take in all the light and black can be seen a far off because of its missionary color to give back all the light, so we still don't know whether the car is black or white; but we imagine that it is pretty if it is either white of black, because both are God's out standing colors. Now, if this good brother of the God's Human Family meant to use the word in a contemptuous or derisive appellation for a Negro, he was either ignorant or his heart inpure; if he is ignorant then he will cause others misery of mind, heart and body and think it is funny; if his heart is inpure then he spiritually blind and will be led by that blind heart to the place where beauty is unknown whether white or black, green, yellow, pink or purple. But why should we be alarmed, some called Christ the "chief of devils," when he same that the world might have WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, July 17, 1925.

There were hundreds of people in Christ's day, who did not agree with that contempuous appellation, but they more firmly caught the spirit of the Christ and now thousands have his spirit. We believe that there are thousands in Wichita, who don't agree with this mode of advertisements, will join the family of the redeemed to make all happy and safe, according to God's plans and purposes. God forbid! That in this day with the Son of Rigteousness almost at "high Noon," that a race, who has proved itself as worthy as any race with its teachers, preachers, doctors, lawyers, musicians, artists, bankers, and masters in every walk of life, to be contempuously placed before the public just to sell a second-handed Overland Car—is really ashame. DR. CHARLES STEWART PASSES FROM US Monday night, July 13, 1925 at Park's Sanitarian in Guthrie, Okla. Dr. Charles Stewart, one of the most outsanding men in America passed in to wait and rest to get his reward. For more than two years, Dr. Stewart has fought, that he might stay here and help his race and America to take their rightful place in the wordl. He has traveled from show to show trying all kinds of medical skill to be retore to health, but in vain. He was in a class to himself, because he fitted in to this American life as no other member of our race could have fitted; every State knew him and respected his political advise, every race knew him and respected his ability and fairness; thousands of pulpits knew him and rejoiced in his Gospel Messages; thousand of platforms and schools Colleges and Universities were edified by his sane and sound lectures. All organization in America looked to him to put their cause before the public as he has been for thirty odd years a member of the Associated Press. He was humorist and witty, a real philosophers in the time of crisis—truly he could be called the utility man. Though he is not with us now, the power of his influence will live in the lives of others until out of the many minds and hearts and the demand for another character of whom the world can step forth to victory behind, will come and take up, where he left off and we shall conqueror. God, who knows the time for all His servants to rest want him to rest; so he took him and now he rests and his work does follow him. The Funeral arrangements have not reached us as yet but his body will lay in state in Chicago while the time and arrangements are being made. KANSAS REFUSES TO GRANT CHART ER TO K. K. K. Preston News Service) TQPEKA, KANS., July 9-The Kansas charter Board Wednesday refused a charter to the Knights of Ku Klux Klan, a Georgia corporation. Concurring in an opinion prepared by Attorney General Griffith, the Board declared that klan was not doing charitabiwork as stated in its petition. The decision was unanimous.

The officials of the Pullman Company have been so greatly impressed with the heroic effort of the late Oscar J.

The The doctors obeyed and when they returned they found Daniels dead, rests with the United States Supreme Court. Last January the State Supreme Court terminated two years' litigation by ousting the klan on the ground it was operating without a charter. The klan immediately appealed.

Written by The N. Written for The Negro Star, only. There is not a more disappointing index in all our work with the young people, than that of the delegates from our Sunday Schools and Young People's Societies, who represent us at the conferences, conventions and Associations, as well as Summer School. The writer has been in attendance upon two Summer School sessions and district conventions, one state convention; and now the great congress. And it is deploring, indeed to note the lack of interest, so manifest among those who are selected to represent their church, school or B. Y. P. U., at these gatherings. The magnitude of the speaker, the importance of the subject the gravity of the issue has no special appeal. From all outward signs, one would think these messengers on a pleasure trip. The folk back home are oftimes disappointed with the reports. For the most part, they get expressions of disappointment and criticism; all because the delegates spent their time "Joy Riding," or "Parading the Streets," instead of attending the sessions. Then, some of our adult leaders present a poor example, in this regard. They loaf in the vestibule or indulge in "Sun Baths" outside the place of meeting. And oftimes they are placed on important committees, and cannot be corralled for service. The writer served on one of the important committees at the State Convention. There were ten on the committee; the hour of meeting was announced; and when the hour arrived, only three could be found. It is a sacred trust to be selected to represent the Church of Christ, in any capacity. It is also a high honor. And it is all the more sacred, when our churches have paid our expenses, from their very meager funds. And for us to idle away the time, and receive no special benefits, and likewise nothing to take back to the waiting home, is nothing less then 'N GOD." MRS. MARIA AND REWS REMEMBERS HOME FOR AGED IN WILL (Florent News Service) CINT INNATI O., July 17 In the will of Mrs Maria Andrews disposing of an estate of $500,000, the Home for Aged Colored People was given four shares of American Seeding Machine Company stock TOM LEE HERO FUND HAS NOT REACHED $3,000 MEMPHIS, TENN. July 15. There can be no fit comment on the way people are now donating to the Tom Lee Fund. The mere fact that only two small contributions totaling $1 were received in as many days last week, shows in itself that the white people of Memphis, think little and care less about what Tom Lee did in Saving the lives of drowning whites in the Mississippi River some months ago. At this writing the fund for Lee stands now at $2,646.45. This is certainly a small expression of gratitude. Some cruel minded persons are almost tempted to say that the lives of the 82 persons saved were worth about that amount. At least the response the whites have made to the fund indicates that the whites themselves think their lives are worth about $8269 apiece. Maybe they are right. The southerner ought to know about how much he thinks he is actually worth. BISHOP CARY IN THE CITY A great week in the Methodist family with the Bishop A. J Cary present be, gan Sunday at St. Paul A.M.F. Church, where he preached a great sermon at 11.00 a.m., and then left for Winfield Sunday afternoon and Arkansas City Sunday night. He came back to the city Monday and enjoyed a real program and banquet Monday night at St. Paul, where the best talent of the city performed Thursday night, he spoke to a packed house at Grant Chapel with Rev. McClure pastor and again a great program was rendered, finishing with a barquet. The Bishop is an outstanding man of the race and has the confidence of his people. He left for Newton. A NEW REAL BUSINESS Last Friday marked the opening of The Cowan's Place 1243 E. Ninth St., where over 700 people visited and truly it is one of the most representative businesses in the city with Fancy and Staple Groceries, Notions, Toilet Articles, Candies Ice Cream, Cold Drinks with a lovely Soda Fountain. It will be a shame for our people to not patronize this up-to-date place, where everything is kept sanitary and service is Supreme. If there is one thing that Wichita, is suffering for, it is a real up-to-date business for our people, we have it now let us support it. They say: they have done their part and are asking the Community to do its part. Think, then act. You will be proud some day. B. N.

TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH ENTERTAINS EDGAR-MORGAN (Preston News Service) MEMPHIS, TENN., July 16—The Indisturial efficiency department of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, Pastor, entertained the Edgar-Mogran Company and its employees in the main auditorium of the church on the corner of Georgia Ave., and Lauder Jale St., Monday night.

LESSON TNT - Aelid 1945. GOLDEN TEX - they are they who puffed up righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" - Matt 5 10 PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul Heals a large Man JUNIOR TOFIC—I'nal Stoned at Lys- ta tra. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Going Forward in the Face of Difficulties YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Tribulations and Triumphs of Missionaries 1. Paul and Barnabas Preaching at Iconium (vv. 1-7). Their experience here was similar to that at Antioch. They entered the Jewish synagogue and preached, causing a multitude of Jews and Gentiles to believe. The unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles to the most bitter opposition. 1. Their Manner of Preaching (vv. 1). This is suggested by the little word "so" in verse one. They so spoke that a great multitude believed. They were true preachers Only that which brings conviction of sin and induces decisions for Christ can be truly called preaching in the Biblical sense. It is not enough to merely bring the truth to the people. It must be brought in such a way that men and women will decide for Christ. This is also true of the Sunday school teacher. 2. Their Attitude Towards Opposition (v. 3). This is suggested by the word "therefore." Long time therefore they tarried. The opposition did not prevent their preaching, but incited them to continue preaching. 3. The Lord Accompanied Their Preaching With Miracles (v. 3) Since the opposition was so fierce, the Lord granted special help which was needed 4. The Effect of Their Preaching (v. 4). The multitude of the city was divided. Where men faithfully preach the gospel, there will be division. 5. Paul and Barnabas Assaulted (v. 5-7). The Jews and the Gentiles united in this assault. Being applauded of their effort, they fled to Lystra and Derbe. II. An Attempt to Worship Paul and Barnabas as Gods (vv. 8-18). 1. The Occasion (vv. 8-10) It was the healing of the lame man. God's gracious power shown in healing this lame man occasioned a new difficulty. That which ought to have been a help was turned into a hindrance. This was a notable miracle. The man was a confirmed cripple. He had never walked. On hearing Paul preach, faith was born in his heart (Rom. 10.17). When Paul perceived that he trusted Christ, he called with a loud voice that all could hear for the man to stand upright. The cure was instantaneous for he leaped up and walked (v. 10). 2. The Method (vy, 11-13). Barnabas they called Jupiter and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. The priest of Jupiter brought oxen and garlands ready to offer sacrifice unto these men (v. 13). 3. Their Efforts Frustrated (vv. 14-18). This foolish act was happily averted by the fact of the apostles (1) They denied that they were divine beings, and declared that to wor ship beings with like passions to them selves was criminal (2) They directed the people to turn away from those vain things unto the living God who made heaven and earth, and has left witness of Himself in that He has always done good, giving rain and fruitful seasons and tilling their hearts with gladness. III. The Stoning of Paul (vv. 19-22). Wicked Jews from Antioch and Judean parished Paul with relentless hate to this place where they stirred up the very people who were willing to worship them a little while before. This shows that satanite worship can soon be turned into satanite hate. This hatred took form in stoning Paul and dragging him out of the city for dead. God raised him up, and with undated courage, he pressed on with his missionary duties, bearing the good tidings to the lost. IV. The Organization of Churches in the Field (vv. 21-22). Knightholdship with Paul did not mean a bad) and superficial preaching of the gospel, but the establishment of a permanent work. Elders were appointed in every church. The work of the missionary is not done until self governing and self propagating churches are established on the field St. Vincent de Paul made it a rule of his life to be always looking for the Christ in every man he saw or met. When that is a master thought in anyone, in that person all man see Christ—Dr. R. F. Horton. Our Destiny We make our destiny by our thinking, and the only determinism in nature is furnished by the verdict of the mind. The course of history is the course of thought.—Harold Bogle.

NEGRO AMERICANS WANT BETTER QUARTERS One of the most surprising incidents in the record is of a white congregation singing, "Onward Christian Soldiers" marching to the home of a highly educated Negro who was engaged in important educational work. The leader handed the owner of the home a written demand that he leave the neighborhood and waited for his reply. The owner said he would remain where he was. The crowd left, but special police protection was needed for some time before the family felt very safe in their home It is not because the Negroes wish merely to move into white neighborhoods and to have white neighbors, but because they have suffered even more from the housing shortage than white persons and are seeking to linprove their health and living conditions byaving the aliens and undesirable districts to which they have generally been expected to confine themselves, continues the report. Attempts of the various kinds have been made by individuals and organizations to meet the situation and to provide suitable housing for colored people "Negro Americans have even more difficulty than other residents in finding stable places in which to live because prejudice against them operates regardless of culture or financial ability," says the introduction to the report. Under ordinary conditions other racial and national groups can usually secure housing accommodations in almost any residential area if they can pay for them and maintain the neighborhood standards in other respects. "It has frequently happened, however, that Negro residents have not been permitted to remain unmolested in theilown homes even though they kept their property in superior condition and otherwise conducted themsel es with entire propriety. Hoodlums have been permitted to break windows and destroy flowers and shrubbery. Houses have been bombed. Concerted actions on the part of supposedly respectable citizens in the way of anonymous warnings of calamities unless the property was vacated, actual attacks on members of the family, and destruction of property by fire or other means, threatened or carried out, are measures that have been used to force colored people from homes in neighborhoods where living conditions are desirable. "Court action has been resorted to. Decisions by the United States Supreme Court has made impossible restriction by ordinance of the privilege of any part of the population, but groups of property holders have entered into voluntary agreements to exclude Negro residents from property owned or controlled by them, and have brought pressure to bear on neighbors to force them to Join in so excluding Negroes. A suit to make impossible this method of abrogating the Constitutional right of citizens is now pending before the Supreme Court of the United States. "Frequently the only houses available for coated tenants have been in districts infested with vice or other low moral standards. In spite of the desire of the colored people to provide decent surroundings for their children. Almost always the areas to which they are ex- Practices in all Courts. Notary Public in Office.

HELM Attorney-At-Law pected to confine their residence are those least adequately provided with street paving, aewerage and garbage disposal and other sanitary provisions, and fire and police protection. *In many cases no adequate housing legislation has been enacted: In other cases exalting legislation does not afford colored tenants the protection it gives to others because it is not enforced for their benefit. Efficient enforcement requires an adequate staff for inspection inefficient enforcement is sometimes due to lack of and sometimes to unequal distribution of inspection service, and sometimes a failure to enforce the regulations for other reasons. "In audition to difficulties due to prejudice, the economic limitations of the coerced citizens with further restrict their choice of dwellings. As a result of these condition, at a time when there is a shortage of houses the situation of the Negro population, especially in the cities, is most acute. "Negroes have repeatedly explained that the efforts of the coerced families to move into 'white neighborhoods' are not due to the fact that they wish to associate with the with the white people as such, but rather to the fact that usually the only decent housing conditions are in such neighborhoods." Attempts of various kinds have been made by individuals and organizations to meet the different situations and to provide adequate housing for the colored people. Important illustrations of some of these efforts are described in the report in order to answer the questions of these who want to know what has been done, how it has been done, by whom, and what the result has been.
