THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Rev. L. W. Williams, Lexington, Miss. President of the Lebanon Missionary Baptist Sunday School Convention in Session this week. Voi.17,No.19, Rev. L. W. William President of the Lebanon Miss Convention in S Welcom Address To The National Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress at Wicnita, Kansas, June 24-28, 1925. W. A. Bowren, Kansas City, Kansas Master of Ceremonies etc:— I esteem it an honor as well, as a profound pleasure, to welcome you on behalf of the Baptist of this State. As President of the state work of our great denomination, I am delighted to extend to you the cordial and hearty hand of welcome, but pleasant as might seem the task, the responsibility is so great, that I am sure it might have been placed in more worthy and more capable hands than mine. You have come from different parts of the country, representing various Churches, Sabbath Schools and B. Y. P. U's. We greet you this morning as men and women of high christian character, we are children of a common Father, God. We are marching with steady tread toward the goal of success in the work for God and humanity. And as we march our feet keep time, our bodies erect, our hearts attune to the heavenly music borne on the zephyrs that float to us from that far heavenly clime, inspiring us to greater achievements, nobler efforts. List' hear ye the steady sound of the feet as they march. Look, see their banners. They are inscribed, read! the inscription—"One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism." We recognize the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. Ours is no little task, as the few days we shall be here will be days of tremendous responsibility and work. We are to devise pans by which we may continue to safety lead our people, and tsecially our Young people, up to the temple of truth and knowledge. Allow me to make this statement. If ever there was a time in the history of our race. That safe, efficient, christian leadership was needed, it is now. False teachings are being hurled from platform, press and pulpit, attacking the very foundations of the New Testament churches. But we welcome you as an crudite body of men and women who stand firmly on the doctrines of our great Church, Hear me, our Church stands four-square on all the teachings of Jesus hChrist, who is the head of our Church, that is the New Birth, Buried with Christ in Baptism; The Baptism --- of the Holy Ghost, Living a clean and holy life. We believe there is a heaven and we believe there is a hell, we believe there is a reward for a pure life and a punishment for a sinful life. And the Kansas Baptists bid you welcome because we believe you stand on, and believe in, these religious principles and doctrines. We welcome you to a state whose people are hospitable, congenial, cultured and devout christian worshipers. Your coming to our great state has been heralded far and wide and of course we were quickened into greater activity and pleasant anticipation of your coming. Therefore, feeling deeply that I voice the sentiments of the ministry and the various Churches of the state, I gladly welcome you. In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, and by the hand of his omniopotence, molded the mountain ranges, carved out the valleys ploughed the furrows for the rivers, chisled out the deep ocean and painted the lilies with a brush, he also gave us. I am persuaded to believe, in the economy of his design, after throwing up the gigantic Rocky Mountain range in which stands the lofty Pikes Peak, whose snow covered bosom old Sol year by year, as he comes out of his chamber gradually sloping downward into a similing fertile plain, the twenty-first state of our great United States, Kansas Kansas is the center of the United States, the heart of America, and the activities and achievements incident to its formation and development caused George Bancroft, the historian, to designate Kansas as "The Miracle of the Age." Senator Ingalls' simile of Kansas is this—"Kansas is the Nav Nave of the Nation." The motto of our state is worthy of note, Ad Astra Aspera, Thru difficulties to the stars. Can you remember a better one: Be it remembered too that Kansas was the first one of the states to sound the death knell of King Alcohol; she was never a slave state and beloved John Brown of Osawotamie, first saw the light of day within her borders. Kansas ranks high in agriculture and stocking raising. The principle manufacturing is represented by the flour mills and meat packing industries. In wealth and property, values art alright. We have two hundred and forty National Banks, One, thousand forty-eight State and Private banks, with more than seven hundred and forty-five million, nine hundred and ninety thousand, one hundred and forty dollars in cash deposits. Kansas has a mileage of railroad tracks of more than nine thousand five hundred and seventy two miles. We have more than seven higher Institutions of learning maintained by OPENED NEW WELT DENTAL 1013 I-2 E. 13TH ST EYE DRUG FREE EXAM DR.

TEST TEST Tell the world that Washington, D.C. boasts of the "Oldest colored daily in the United States," "and that it's still alive and going strong. Whyn "The Washington Daily American" made its initial appearance on the streets, news-stands of the city, although we were hopeful of its success, we were afraid that it could not stand the day in and day out strain required of a twenty four hour paper. We had absolute confidence in its staff, headed by David E. Taylor and Fagens L. Davidson for we knew if it could be done, they could do it; get, we were not any to optimistic over the chances of their journalistic infant, for we know something of the elements which challenge the Negro press, both weekly and monthly. The sturdy little American has however, taken its permanent place in the field of the Negro newspaper. It hasn't missed a single issue, and it has given the public news when it was news. The editorials of the American, with many of which we agree, and with some of which we do not, have set a new standard of verile thought. Each one is very much alive, logically argumentative, and faces the facts as Messrs. Taylor and Davidson see them. The paper has been wide awake to those vital matters of greatest concern of Negor life and there is no denying the fact that the American has rendered a useful service, unselfishly and in or a public-spirited way. Most important of all, its editors have demonstrated that a Negro Daily is just as possible as a white daily. It's A REALITY. Their stradfastness is to be commended and the ranks of Negro journalism should rejoice that two such stalwarts as they have, with their daily sheet, thrown unforeseen abilities and forces into a field of crying need. Long live the Washington Daily American. the State;we have twenty-six colleges, and public schools dot her plains like the stars in the firmament. The percentage of illiteracy is smaller in Kansas than in any other state in the Union save Iowa and Oregon. one & one ninth is the rating. A careful estimate shows the religious population to be nine hundred and seventy-five thousand, all denominations represented. Among our race Baptist are numerically the strongest. Our state maintains twenty charitable institutions, such as hospitals, homes for the blind etc. The United States government maintains a military prison and a branch of The Soldier's Home at Leavenworth. Our reco is not debarred from these institutions. And so it is with a degree of pride that we welcome you to the sunflower state, sometimes spoken of as the Jay Hawker State, derived from a maurauding bird, indigenous to the locality. The Jay Hawkers, welcome you. We have some of the greatest preachers in the world here in the state of Kansas, your humble servant being one of this number; however you will find some of all calibers, we have some gospel submarines, some Sons of Thunder, some Cannon.

As I look into your faces, I am deeply and profoundly reminded of the fact that I am welcoming the Francis Heroes and Heroines who constitute the greatest and most active moral religious force that comes within the limits of human agencies. I hail you as the Church's greatest and only practical reformers. You are th voices that are cryin the wilderness—"Prepare ye the way and make straight in the desert a highway for the Lord." In your work of training and conserving the Young people of the Church, you are like the living creatures of Ezickiels wheels, who run return at God's command, filling the world with the light of God and the majesty of His love.

I welcome you because you come to work with us, we are laborers together with God. I am pleased to tell you the status of our people in the state, as it relates to our relationship with and to our white neighbors, is one of peaceful and harmonious relationship. God has ket back the evil influences to a marked degree and we are grateful for the pleasant relationship. Like the apostle, we press forward During the few days we are to be thrown together, my wish, hope and prayer is that peace, harmony and love may abound and our communion be so sweet and the bonds of christian love so closely knit that the memory of these days will linger long with us after we shall have gone from this place. May it linger as some sweet dream of perfect happiness. It is more pleasing to say welcome than good-bye Lest I weary you in the terrestrial door of opportunity to feel but words are in adequate to express I conclude by saying: When the ebb and flow of human hopes have forever ceased, when the terrestrial door of opportunity to reach th acme of noble endeavor has been consecrated on the alter of fringe of hopeful anticipation has been merged into the golden sun of gladstone realization; when the mist which veils the hilltops of unselfish endeavor has been penciled by the scintillations of eternity's morn into a rainbow of promises fulfilled when the wheel of human activities no longer revolves; when the shuttle of the patient toil is heard no more; when the fire of self-sacrificing de- --- NOTICE!

Five Cents Per Copy RACE GIRL SIX YEARS AGO TO FACE MURDER CHARGE PAYTOT VILLAGE, N. C., Aug. 6 some time this month for a murder Melvin Maynor will be tried here of killing a young Negro grill in Carver's Creek township, Maynor disappeared half dozen years ago and was lost to view until officers of Durham county informed Sheriff McCreachy a few days ago that he was working on a farm in that county. The sheriff went to Durham county for the man, and today Maynor is in the Cumberland jail awaiting trial at the August term of the Superior Court. When taken into custody Maynor claimed that the girl was shot due to an accidental discharge of a shotgun. The affair occurred at the home of a woman relative of the victim, and, according to the prisoner's contention, it was during a quarrel with the woman that the gun was discharged. It has been claimed by accusers of Maynor that he deliberately shot and kiled the girl. FATHER EXON- ERATED FOR SHOOTING KIDNAPPER COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 6—Followed by Police Inspector Dyer, H. C.

Boiling water and washing soda are much more effective, as lye is apt to combine with the grease in a hard soap. While soda will cut right through the grease. Once a week put two or three tablespoonful of soda at the outltt and wash down with boiling water. This will keep the drain pipes beautifully clear and they are not likely to clog. RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS OF KANSAS Sunday School Lesson (BY REV P H SITWATER DD, Dean of the Evening School Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (1925) Western Newspaper Union LESSON TEXT—No. 15 34—16 5. GOLDEN TEXT—He shall have domino minion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth —Pa 72 8 PRIMARY TOPIC—How the Boy Timothy Became a Missionary: JUNIOR TOLL-Clas and Timothy Become Missionaries INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Missionary: Recruits YOUNG PRILOWS AND ADULT TOPIC—Strengthening the Churches. 1. Contention Over John Mark (ch. 15:36-41). 1. Paul's Proposal (v. 79) This was to relict the scenes of their missionary encounter, and see the state of the believers—what progress they were making in their Christian experience. This is a pattern for missionaries in all ages and countries. 2. Barnabas狄倭介勞 (V. 31) It was to take with them John Mark. The human relation of these men was uncle and nephew. (Col 4:10). 3. Paul's Opposition (V. 38) He was suspicious of Mark because of his desertion on the former jour ney (Acts 13:13). 4. Their Separation (W. 59-11) Their contention was so sharp that they separated. It is impossible to absolutely determine which of the men was right. It is quite clear that both were sincere. That John I did wrong in turning back, could not be disputed. That one failure in a young Christl should condemn him for life is a wrong conclusion. It may be that nearness of relationship wiped the judgment of Barnabas. On the other hand, this very fact may have given insight into Mark's nature which better qualified him to judge of his fitness than Paul. Then again, it is to be presumed that Paul, whom God was thrusting out to be the leader of a clearer understanding of the ruler. Besides it may be that this sternness of Paul was the very thing that brought Mark to his senses. Frequently by the demands of justice make the man this painful maltreatment in those devoted to slainors, parting company, but God overruled it to the wider extension of the work. Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus and Paul chose Silas and being recommended by the Irons unto the grace of God, went throuh Svita and Callef confirming the churches. The fact that Paul went forth with the reconnunciation of the brothers may be a vindication of the righteousness of his action. It is conerting to know that the frailties of such cannot obstruct the purposes of God, nor even delay them. One of the most serious difficulties in Christian work at home and abroad, is to get Christians to work harmoniously together. 11. Finding Timothy (ch 16:17). 1. The Plue (v.1). This was at the very place where Paul on his first journey had endured cruel stoning. The conversion of this young man may be regarded as the fruitage of his testimony at that time. 2. His Parentage (v.1). His mother was a believing Jewess, and his father a Grief. The mother's name was Lumie (H Tim 1 3). Timothy's unfeigned faith had passed from his grannother Lola through Punlee to him. 3. His Charactet (v. 2). He had a good reputation in the church at Lysin and Loomin. This shows that the woman from the very first had followed in the footsteps of his spiritual father as a willess for Christ. 4. Timothy (Cremenized (v. 3)) Though Timothy had been carefully instructed in the Word of God by his mother and grandmother, the Month title of circumcision had not been complied with. Doubts this would be cause his father was ill, so he order to avoid offence. Timothy may have strange in the light of the decision of the Jerusalem Council which set them free from the罪, but it showed his willingness to conform to any reasonable demand for the sake of experience. However when the act involved principal he was not taking, as in the case of Timothy when he refused to have this done at the best list of Judicial teachers, (thul. 223). 5. The Ministry of Paul and Timothy through the City (v. 45) It is likely that at this time "lethy was ordained" (1 Them 4:14) "they went through the cities and delivered the decrees which had been ordained at the Jerusalem court" (Acts 15:19-21). This resulted in the establishment of the church in the faith, and the daily increase in the number of believers.

A man can not be born too humble or be misfortune sit too low to touch up a face heroesism, provided the stuff of heroes is in his heart. It may be that Oscar Daniels did what he did without thinking. It may be that it was all over before he consciously thought it all. It may be that the grooves of duty, to those for whom he was responsible held his actions when actions counted most for them—and most for him because of them. But however these things may be, no man, he be black or brown or white, need hesitate to take off his hat as he enters the sleeping-car that Oscar Daniels reinstituted with sacrifice.
