Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE This place was a Holy Place, because the Holy Spirit dwelt there all of last week and they pulled off one of the best programs for the Master in the History of the Association and Auxiliaries, with Rev. G. T. Ralmey, M. A. P. Rans, L. N. Grimes, General Secretary. The system by which the bees carry out would come near illustrating how the workers performed their duties; each one seemingly doing his very best. Rev. J. R. Richardson of Kansas City, had charge of the devotional theme throughout the meeting and we have yet to hear some one best him in the practical teaching of the Bible. The Sermons were all mountain tall in the graces of God by Revs. Mason, Strong City; W. F. Warder, Topeka; M. T. Waters, Salina; W. T. Hubbard, Ellis; Dr. W. A. Dowen, Kansas City, Kansas; J. W. Johnson, Manhattan; J. J. Johnson Osage; J. Moore, Nicodeums; C. W. Wilson, Osage City; George Dickerson, St. Louis A. W. Ross, Topeka; J. R. Richardson, Kansas City; H Mitchell, Dean of the C. B. T. I. Topcha. The Annual Addresses by the Presidents were of High thoughts and spiritual fever: Mrs. O. E. Jackson, Salina; J. A. Barnes, Emporia; Mr. Gary, Abilene; Mrs. M. D. Jones, Junction City; Rev. G. T. Ralmey, Junction City. The Solos by Mrs. Isabella Walker, Topeka; J. B. Devine of Junction City, and others. The singing was at high tide with Rev M. T. Waters directing and Mrs Water (wife) at the Piano. The Papers and Topics were thoughtful and edifying to mind and souls. National Characters were present, via: Rev George W. Dickerson, of St. Louis representing the Sunday School Publishing Co., Prof. H. I. Monroe of Topeka, President of the Sunday School State Convention, H. T. Sirius of Wichita, President of the B. Y. P. U. Convention. Rev. Dudley of Missouri, President W. A. Bowren of Kansas City, President of the State State Convention, Prof. H. I. Monroe conducted a model Sunday School on Sunday Morning and Editor H. T Sims a Model B. Y. P. U. Sunday afternoon, everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves. This Mt. Zion Church is without a pastor, but it is wonderful how they took care of the Association, which proved that they are noble people of God and deserve a real pastor. Every desire of the messengers were satisfied—their cars, their homes and themselves were at the messengers disposal. Neval H. Thomas Pres. Washington N. A. A. C. P. Wins Another Victory For Race.

C., Aug. 12,—"The Devil told me to do it," this, recording to the police, was the reason assigned by William Woods, aged 38 years, former watchman, setting fire to the Shiloh Baptist Church, Ninth and P. Streets, N. W., of which the Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron is pastor. The fire almost completely destroyed the edifice. Woods confessed, according to the police, that he had been drinking and the "Devil told me" to fire the church. According to the police this is the sixth time this magnificent church building has been the victim of fires during the past fourteen months. It is estimated that this last conflagration damaged the church building to the extent of $50,000. The fire is said to have started in the magnificent pipe organ and soon spread to other parts of the church. While the fire did not do much damage, the greater loss was caused by the water played on the blaze by the firemen when twelve engines responded to the call. Officials of the church have already worked out plans for rebuilding and it is expected that work on the new structure will start in the near future. This edifice was purchased and moved in by Shiloh congregation less than three years ago. It marked the progeasional development of a long struggle by the congregation to own a suitable a d commodious house of worship. RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS OF KANSAS Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FITZWATER, DD, Dean of the Evening School Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (CA 1928 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for August 16 LESSON TEXT—Gail 5 18-24 GOLDEN TEXT—he not deceived God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." -dial 6.7 PRIMARY TOPIC-A Picture of a Good Life. GOOD LUCK. JUNIOR TOPIC—Good and Bad Fruit. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Drunkenness and Kindred Lilies YOUNG PLOPLE AND ADULTS TOPIC—The Flesh Against the spirit. Having shown in chapters 3 and 4 of this epistle that the believer is free from the law as a means of justification, Paul makes practical application of this doctrine. 1. Christian Freedom (vv. 1315) 1. It Is Not an Occasion to the "Flesh" (v. 13). Liberty is not license. The notion that when one is free from the law he is free from constraint, is wickedly erroneous. License of the flesh means not merely the indulgence of the flesh in actual material life, but in the expression of a self-centered life in biting and devouring one another (v. 15). Bickering among Christians is an example thereof. 2. By Love, Serving One Another (v. 13). Freedom from the Monile law means slavers to the law of love. "The emerging from bending through Christ is the passing into a sphere of life in which all the powers should not under the domination of the true motive, love." - Morgin. II. Walking in the Spirit (v. 1619) This discloses the secret of how a life of service to another can be lived. The governing principle in the life of a believer is the Holy Spirit. Walking in the Spirit results in: 1. Loving Service to Others (v. 13) 2. Victory Over the Flesh (vv. 18-17). By the flesh is meant the corruent nature of man expressing itself in the realm of sense and self. The renewed man becomes two man between whom a mortal conflict is going on. The Christian must choose between good and evil. When he chooses the evil the Holy Spirit imposes, and when he chooses the good the flesh imposes, notwithstanding this deadly conflict, victory is sure if one chooses the good! III. The Works of the Flesh (vv. 19-21). In works of the flesh is meant the operation of the causal nature. The one who chooses to live according to the impulses and destroys of his natural heart will be practicing the following elms. 1. Sensuallity (v. 15). The sins enumerated here are practised in the sphere of the body and are: (1) Fornication. (The word "adultery" is omitted from the best manuscripts) (2) Uncleanness. This includes all sensual sins, open or secret, thought or deed. (3) Laseriviousness. This means the wanton rockless indulgences in the shameful practices of the flesh. 2. Irreligion (v. 20) These acts take place in the realm of the spirit and are: (1) Idolatry, which means the worshiping of idols. (2) Witchcraft or Sorcery. This means all dealing with the occult such as magical arts, etc. 3. King of the Temper (vv. 2021). These tale place in the sphere of the mind and are: (1) Hatred. (2) Variance, which means strike. (3) Simulations,杰伦雷 (4) Wrath, burth of unrest (7) Mollions, factions in the state. (8) Herre's, factions in the church. (7) Insects. (2) Mudders (3) Saps of Excrea (v. 21). (1) Dumbleness This means indivi- ly one in interlating love (2) Royal gestures of love under the influence of IV. The Fruit of the Spirit (v. 22- 24) This indicates action in the realm of life, the product of the Holy Spirit indwelling the believer 1. Love, to God and man. 2. Joy, glad heartedness because of what God has done. 3. Peace with God and fellowmen. 4. Longsuffering, taking insult and injury without purrurring. 5. Gentleness, kindness to others. 6. Goodness, doing good to others. 7. Faith, believing God and committing all to Him. 8. Meddiness submission to God. 9. Temperance self control in all things. Against such there is no law. Man's Sorrows Man's sorrows are a mystery, but that sinners should not have sorrows were a saddler mystery still. And God pleads with us all not to lose the good of our experiences of the bitterness of sin by our levity or our blindness to their meanings.—Alexander Maclaran.

(Preston News Service) My remarks a few weeks ago were prompted by a series of incidents in one of the large universities. It seemed that a young man from Cheve and was preparing to mate in this school. An Aunt with whom he lived called him to tell him that he was not going there as a Negro as an American citizen. The young man evidently expected this man that he would "pass" for war. Evidence is in sight that "passing" for white was the only way he could report himself as an American citizen. The you h went to school and became just a freshman, one of about two thousand. After having been there for a couple of years he was just a sophomore, one of a thousand. He went into the junior class just one of many. He did nothing to get himself elevated in the eyes of student or faculty. When he graduated he was simply a colored boy coming out into the world, ready to ask. No one to give him their money in order that the might ve and not starve. Due to the fact that he had been only a mediocre student there was a great competition awarding him should he attempt to carry on passing for white. There was great competition within 1 The Negro Star-for the good of the people A. P. Brickell HARDWARE Garden Tools, Rubber Hose, Wire Screens for Poetry and Stock.

In this same school no g with our "passing" was a known skil Negro boy who could not pass for white. To make a long story short I will say, this brown skin Negro was one of the most popular, the most accomplished and in scholars,Ip one of the ranking students in the school. If you will follow up this sort of thing you will find that much is usually the cause. As a rule the Negro student who passes for white in college is a very ordinary youth. As a rule, also, this student amounts to nothing after school classes are over. It is a rare thing to find a Negro becoming professor or worth while who has passed for white in school, they have to put in too much time studying and studying too keep from being found out. The serious part of this matter is, that this type of student has the tran- to graduate, merges out a sign and ask real Negroes to come in a part with hard earned ash. This animal, who is ashamed of his color and race, really feels pved and hurt when we put him by and take our money elsewhere. He doesn't want to be black, but all he wants our money. He wants us to keep him alive, feed and clothe his family, buy him an automobile and send him on a vacation in the summer. A. B. Office 533½ N. Main Phone M. 3868 H. I GLEEDR, M. D.

TEXAS COLLEGE CLOSES LARGE SUMMER SCHOOL TYLER, TEXAS, August, 14 - Texas College closed that week the larger Summer School in its history. In reality it was the second largest in the State of Texas. Due to the fact that the College is ranked as one of the accredited schools of the Southwest by Standardizing Agencies, is responsible for teachers coming from every section of the State. In connection with the regular work there was in operation Practice School under the competent supervision of Miss Elizabeth S. Perry for the benefit of those studying primary methods. This phase of the work proved to be a most valuable and popular feature of the session. Every effort was made by the institution to give those who attended an opportunity for the very best training along the lines of their profession. The members of the faculty for the regular session are studying this summer at Hampton Institute, Columbia, Illinois and Chicago Universities. The Texas College at Tyler, Texas, has received many large donations this year for building purposes and current expenses. In the General Lounge on Board of New York City has already given $20,000 and the Chamber of Commerce of Tyler, Texas, tables in two hours the sum of $20,000 in a drive for a school. The substantial growth of the institution is now claiming the attention of educators far and near. It is on the accredited list of schools, the graduates are granted certificates which entitle them to teach without examination in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida. Because of its unreached classroom, science, equipment and a library of many thousand volumes and outstanding faculty, the outlook for a record breaking enrollment is flattering. President W. H. Banks is now laying plans to raise funds for the erection of buildings for a Library, Practice School, Hospital and Circle trades. In the interest of these plans he will spend most of this month in the North and East When you get hungry get a real hot meals at Landis and Brown's Cafe on West Main.

MISSOURI made another black spot in his character by mobbing a man at Sulphur Springs, last week and if the papers' stories are true there is a possibility for the man to be innocent or there had been a mutual connection before this occasion, but who will ever know, when the accused is dead and cowards are unknown? Oh, American your days are numbered, you too like all nations, who decided to destroy life of some counting it but cheap must pay the penalty from the hands of a Just God, and passed off the scene of action to let those take the place, who will honor God's creation and protect His subjects. THERE are four kinds of Dwarfs Mental, Spiritual, Social and Physical which are you? examine yourselves and begin at once to exercise that part so you might be equally balanced. The World needs your thoughts, the kingdom needs your influences, Society needs your governing power and every creation needs physical help. takes millions and billions of years for Science to raise a man from a monkey and we don't live that long, 'it woud be best to take God's way since we can believe at once and get results from that moment. Then the monkey has handed down such a poor history with no connection where he desired that he need no more long tail, and since God has made no mention of making a tail on man, so we don't have to reason nor think trouble our selves trying to get the tail off; so we think it best to take God's man. Since he lives and improves and makes provision for the future of his race. Rev. Bryan who actually died in the battle for the protection of the faith for which the Christians stand, left over one half million dollars and most of it designated to make the future youth better. Let us accept the faith and teaching that will get results. THERE is something wrong with man when they want to take the lives of man, they are not taught the worth of the soul or they liking in love which suffers long and will hold anyone until they can reason; if any man stops to reason he will preserve life rather than destroy it. With courts running in this city every day there was no reason for the killing of Mr. A. R. Robinson 712 Cleveland, by Mr. Spears to settle the property rights. We can't tell the worth of the soul unless we connect our soul with God, who alone rightfully values the soul of man, and reveals their worth to us. Now, Mr. Robinson is gone to unknown shores and Mr. Spears is in trouble, the truth may never be made known nor will either enjoy the property. God intended from the beginning for us to be our brother's keeper and the further we are away from God the less we think of God's purpose; and the less we think of Him the more destructive we become to everything we touch.

Goodly number received to be long remembered Ruth Wheaton Reporter IMMATURE CORN GOOD FEED MANHATTAN, KAN., Aug.—Immature corn can be made into a good feed for cattle by putting it into a silo says J. B. Litch, head of the dairy department of the state agricultural college. Many silos will be built this year to store the short corn crop. If above ground silos are not available and their purchase can not be financed, pit silos, trench silos and silos made from flooring or other home made silos can be used, according to Litch. "When this corn has reached the point where it will not grow any more it should be cut and put into a silo or stacked," "If it is allowed to stand in the field the leaves will shatter off and the crop deteriorate quite rapidly when exposed to the weather, "Immature corn is being cut this year with headers, grain binders, and mowing machines. When put into the crop can be handled about the same as any other silage crop with the'exception that this material cannot take up as much moisture as it would if mature. The amount of water added therefore should be watched carefully. "Silage from immature corn will not be equal in feed value to good corn silage but the silo is a means of preserving this corn and changing it to a palatable feed without loss. HERO AGENTS PROBE DROWNING OF THREE HERO AGENTS PROBE DROWNING OF THREE May Be Awarded Negro Brothers NEGRO PLUMBERS PITTSRUGH, PA. Aug. 13 Investigation is being made by the Carnegie herd fund commission into the deaths Tuesdays of Launay and Edward Mitchell, brothers drowned in a futile attempt to save the life of Joseph II Waters, a white man, who committed suicide in the Monogahela River. The herodism of the two brothers, witnessed by hundreds of annotators who lined the Smithfield bridge and the banks of the river, has been brought to the commission's attention. It was said Wednesday morning. Following the customary investigation of heroic acts, it is likely the medals for valor will be posthumously bestowed. Funds are being raised for widows of these dead heroes. Langston, 21 years old, the younger brother, had been married only a few months and leaves an 18 year-old wife. They lived at the home of his age parents at 69 Fullerton street. Fowler leaves a wife and 4-year-old daughter. He served with the Illinois volunteer regiment overseas for 2 months. NEGRO PLUMBERS WANT TO GET INTO A. F. of L. (American Negro Labor Congress) Chicago: A group of Negro plumbers headed by E. L. Doty will try again to get into the plumbers' local union here. Doty and other plumbers have already received their city licenses and are working at their trade. As the A. F. of L. has started a campaign to organize the Negro workers, the American Negro Labor Congress will watch with interest what action is taken in the case of Mr. Doty and his group. $10,000 DRIVE MAKES HEADWAY (American Negro Labor Congress) Slowly but surely the $10,000 Drive of the American Negro Labor Congress is progressing. The Congress Committee looks to every organization and individual that is interested in furthering the Negro's interest on the political, economic, and social field to rally to this Drive for $10,000 and over. Every Negro worker or farmer interested in his own well being should do all he can to make this drive a success. FRANCE BARS AFRICAN DODGED GAME (American Negro Labor Congress) PARIS: "French soldiers, realis ing that Africans do more than dodge, as seen by the Riffian situation, and being unable to see any dodge, have brought pressure to beat pleasure in trying to make Africans on the French Government to bat from the Paris Modern Arts Exhibition the popular American Midway amusement," says the Paris Journal. This game consists of a few balls large canvas with a small hole in the center, and an "Uncle Tom" with no brains who sticks his head through the hole. You throw the balls at "Uncle Tom's" head and he dodges from side to side. The American Negro Labor Congress hopes to stilte these brainless "Uncle Tom's" on their brainless heads with such force that they will be eliminated from all American activities forever.
