Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.18,No.23 Ily Mrs. Myrtle Taylor When thinking of this subject it brings to mind the busy house, wife, who has a great deal of fruit on hand. If left in its natural state, most of it will spoil in a few hours or a few days; owing to the growth on its surface or in its tissues of bacteria, molds or other organisms of decay. If such organisms in fruit or food can be killed and the entrance of others prevented, the food can be kept in good condition indefinitely. This condition is brought about by preserving and canning such foods. Then it will not be easily spoiler by coming in contact with the forces of nature, or different conditions of the atmosphere, but is ready for use at any time. We find man in his natural state is sinful, first by inheritance. Human nature became guilty and corrupted by the sin of Adam; just as a life become guilty by a single act. Man is not able of himself, to be what he ought to be, and like the fruit, the organisms of sin and vice will cause his destruction. In John 3:6-7, we find the words of Christ—"That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit is spirit." Marvel not that I said unto Thee; Ye must born again." We see by this that is very necessary to be saved. In other words it is necessary to be preserved from the dangers and difficulties of this line, and protected from threatened destruction. This condition will be brought about, first through repentance of man, implying a confession of sin. Second by having faith to believe that all Christ claims are true, and establishing, him as supreme in our lives. Good will do the rest. Man will then enjoy fellowship with God, he'll love God's people, he will have a new attitude toward sin and ouy his teachings. In speaking of man we mean the entire human race; so the salvation of Christ prepares us for an indefinite service, whatever might be our vocation in life. If you be president of the United States, Governor or a state or mayor of the city, serve your fellowman. Suppose you are a doctor, lawyer, merchant, mechanic or carpenter serve your fellowman as this is the only way in which we can serve our God. Serve Him with a sacrificial service. It cost something to do this, certainly. It cost Abraham the sacrifice of home and friends, that his might be a life of service. It cost Stephen and Peter a martyr's death, to serve. It cost our Savior His life; then how much should it cost us? A mere smile accompanied by work of kindness, will often lift a burden, of care. It is not always the great deeds that count, but the simplest kindness did in the right spirit, that is precious in His. To do efficient service, we must the responsibility until we acquire a practical knowledge of it, when we get that, we will have sufficient equipment to carry is through. Sor one during this session has spawn of the Bible, as our gun. Our best their tools skillfully. Great painters use brush with skill. When we are able to use the word skillfully we will know no defeat for we will have a weapon that will last throughout eternity. "The reavens and the earth shall pass away but the word of God shall stand forever." Who would fall with such a weapon? To do the right kind of service we must have something definite in v.ew First: We must have a knowledge of Christ, taking him as our Master; not as a Christ of history but as a Christ of personal experience. We will then realize that we are our brothers keeper, and we must be as a watchman, warming him of the ESCAPED IN- DUSTRIAL SCHOOL IS CAPTURED (Preston News Service HOT SPRINGS, Sept. 3—Roosevelt Hudson who escaped from the Nello Boys' Industrial School at Pine Bluff four months ago, was recaptured near Benton Sunday by Chief of Police William Brandenburg and other officers from Hot Springs. Hudson was found sleeping with one gun under his bed and two others under his pillow, the officers said. The boy is alleged to have made threats he would battle officers who came after him. danger of sin, thus making his free from the blood of the lost. The first duty of the Church is to win souls to Christ. We have his own example before us. He would often forsake the crowds and concentrate upon the individual; by doing he revealed the principles of the new birth to Nicodemus. We have heard that a sheperd will leave his entire flock to search for a lost sheep; and a father will leave his entire estate to welcome one son. Therefore we should forsake the things of the world, that we might influence, one soul in the right direction. There are so many opportunities to do service. "We have people groping in darkness, dying in misery and woe." Are you willing to send or go? It was not only food, shelter and nursing but the wounded man's clothes and comforts as well, came from the Samaritan's purse. He had a plain loving service which goes out for the needy as well as for friends. Oh! women let us not set idle, but he ready and willing to serve our sisters who are sinking in darkness, without a knowledge of Jesus. We are only stewards for Jesus, our talent, our dollars, our all are his invest for perishing souls, and the interest is true and sure. KEEP SAME ACREAGE DEAN SUGGESTS Duplication of 1925 Season Will Retain Good Balance, Reduce Production cost, Asserts L. E. Call. MANHATTAN, KAN.—A Kansas wheat acreage for 1926 no larger than the acreage seeded a year ago put in on well prepared land will retain a good balance in Kansas agriculture will reduce wheat production costs, and will help to offset the depressing effect of lower wheat prices which may result from an increased world wheat production, is the opinion of L. E. Call, dean of agriculture at the Kansas State Agricultural college. He advocates the seeding to wheat of wheat of two classes of land, that which was plowed early and properly worked and maintained free from weeds and volunteer grain, and that which due to dry weather produced a light growth of corn but which will be in excellent condition for wheat provided weeds are not permitted to make excessive growth. "All signs point to very favorable condition for plarting," commented Dean Call. "An early harvest made possible early plowing and listing and the preparation of a large amount of land in the best possible condition for wheat. There is a possibility of producing large yields at a small cost per bushel on such land. Land upon which dry weather greatly reduced the growth of corn in North central and Western Kansas can be prepared for wheat at small cost and promises a profitable crop even at lower wheat prices."

NEW YORK, Sept. 4—Garland Anderson, Negro bellboy playwright, is in town with his play, "Appearances," money for its production, and a letter of good wishes from Mayor Rolph of San Francisco to Mayor Hylan. When he was in town months ago seeking production, stories were published that he had written it between calls for ice water in Braeburn Hotel, San Francisco after finding New York managers' officers interested but disinclined to furnish funds, directors and actors. From guest in the same Braeburn Hotel he raised $15,000. He subsequently interested L. W. Sagfr. manager of the 44th Street Theatre, who will make the production. OPENING OF THE SEMINARY SEPT. THIRTIETH The American Baptist Theological Seminary Nashville, Tennessee, begins its second year's work September 30th 1925. The first day will be given to examination and classification of students.

Church at 8 p. m., 11th and Wabash. Bishop Clair's Area includes Africa as well as a part of America. He will hold a council of the District Superintendents on the 10th at 2 p. m. A. A. HYDE MUCH IMPROVED The public will be glad to know that Mr. A. A. Hyde is much better and is now at his home 3728 East Stecond Street, after undergoing a major operation. He will be conlned to his bed for several weeks. The one prayer is that he shall be spared to help humanity, longer in its struggle toward righteousness. All the land in these two classes, when added together will not make a larger acreage for seeding than was planted to wheat in Kansas last fall Dean call pointed cut, calling attention to the August report of the United States Department of Agriculture which forecasts an increased acreage is the United States of nearly 10 percent over that of last year. Argentina he added, has been increased the acreage 3,000,000 for the crop which will be harvested next winter which will be harvested next winter. OHIO AVENUE DAY NURSEY DOING MUCH FOR WORK' MOTHERS (Preston News Service) COLUMBUS, O. Sept. 4—One of the most needed avenues for helping the Negroes who have come to Columbus, is the Day Nursey located in Ohio Avenue, of which Miss Anna Hughes is superintendent. The nursery is under direction of the Oak Street Day Nursey, of which Mrs. Robert F. Buda is president. "We have an average of 35 children each day," said Miss Hughes. "But we can take care of as many as 55, if necessary. Mrs. Robert Lindenburg is chairman of the house committee, and helps us in many way." Miss Hughes emphasized the importance of the neighborhood weighing station. The first Tuesday of each month, Dr. C. T. Smith examines all the children, and is assisted by the district nurses assigned to that section of the city. There is a Mothews' club composed of them others whose children spend the days at the nursery. These mothers gave a drinking fountain to the nursery for the children and they planted a tree on Arbor Day in the name of the little ones. When one of these mothers is sick, the club sends flowers and give any needed assistance. All the children of school age attend classes in one of the schools nearest—Mt. Vernon, Champion or Douglas, and the crippled children are sent in taxi every morning. The very little ones are sent to the to the Champion avenue kindergarten every morning, and play the remainder of day in the nursery. The babies are bathed every morning when they arrive, and are given pure milk through the day. They keep in splendid health, and are a credit to Miss Hughes and the Day nursery LAID TO REST August 24th, 1925, marked the earthly end of Mr. Morris Mayo, 1836 Mismie when his funeral services were conducted from the New Hope Baptist Church and very largely attended, Rev. B. L. Marshant, officiating. Bro. Mayo served in this church as a worthy deacon and trustee for many years. The friends and public expressed their appreciation of his life with helpful deeds and flowers in these very sad hours. ELKO SCHOOL GLEE CLUB AND BAND, A WONDER This whole week has been a source of pleasure to the music lovers of Wichita from the entertainment given by the Elko School Gke Club and Pard. Last Sunday evening they gave out a sample to the public from the St. Paul and Calvary Churches and it pleased the car and soul of the public so well until each night since the crowd has grown. Monday night at St. Paul; Tuesday night at St. Mary; Wednesday night at Grant Y.M.C.A CONFERENCE A MARKED SUCCESS A few lines from Executive Secretary W. L. Hutcherson, tell that he is attending one of the most remarkable conferences that it has been his to attend, composed of over five hundred of the picked students of the Mid and Southwest. He sees through their studies, deportment and stand for principles, a new day. Only sad feature, there were only four of our group present, but they were made welcome and to feel like they were a part of the conference. If we must live through our children, we should give them this opportunity to develop like men. BOY FATALLY BURNED (Preston News Service) PITTSBURG, PA, Sept. 3-Leroy Leonard, 4 years old, of 2203 Spring way, died in the West Penn hospital early Thursday morning of body burns suffered when his clothes became ignited while he was playing with matches in his home yesterday afternoon. The accident occurred while the boy was alone in the kitchen. Memorial; Thursday night at Calvary and tonight they will entertain at New Hope. Each fellow has his part and each one is playing well his part. They are the most perfectly harmonious band of children we have ever heard with the youngest band mistress and drum major in the world. The children showed every sign of ability that had been well trained. Their recitations and illustrations are perfect; in fact they are wonders. Girls playing tronbones and cornets with as clear and rounded out tones as we have ever heard from children of their ages. They are a credit to the race, school, country and especially to Mr. Felix Bowser, their manager. If they can do this well at this age, it does not yet appear what they shall be. The public can help so decisively in making them what they should be by their presence as encouragement, by their applauses as expressions of appreciation and with their money that they may be able to return to school, fully prepared to make it possible for others down in Alabama and the South with the same talent these few have. Remember they are ours and we are theirs, and what we have, properly invested, will make the next generation better than we. They are young masters and we can make them old and supreme masters in the future. FELL DEAD IN PARK Mr. Wm. Winfield, 1227 N. Mead Avenue, on his way home last Thursday, Aug. 27, fell dead in Monrovia Park, from heart trouble. He had been to the ice plant for ice and was returning. He had no relatives here, but a number of friends who attended the funeral services at the Citizens Mortuary Parlor. He was employed by the Harris-Goar Company. NEW BUSINESS FOR NORTHEND. Thirteenth Street is graced with two new business houses: A Tire Exchange 910 E. 13th Street and the Garden City Music Store 1100 block East 13th Street, both are making good. They promise to treat you right by giving service and value for what they receive. Their goods are the same the world over, so give them a trial.

BISHOP ASSAILS CLAIM OF NORDIC SUPERIORITY BISHOP ASSAILS CLAIM OF NORDIC SUPERIORITY (Preston News Service) CHICAGO, Sept. 4—Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes of the Chicago area of the Methodist Episcopal Church calls the claim of Nordic superiority nonsense. In addressing the first session of the Central Swedish Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church here last Wednesday night he said: "It is not Anglo Saxon blood, but the blood of Jesus Christ that has made us what we are. There is much being said at this time about Anglo-Saxon superiority. It was not so long ago our ancestors came out of the forks of Europe and when they wanted a deer they did not stop to cook it, but they ate the raw flesh." CITY ITEMS. Mrs. Leota Payne motored to Topeka, Tuesday, carried her sister Miss Miss Drustelle Molette to enter school. Miss Molette has just returned from her vacation trip in Texas. Mr. Richard Wilson, who has been connected with the office staff since June, left this week for school, after a visit with relatives in Oklahoma and other parts. The marriage of Mrs. M. L. Copeland to Mr. Ford on Wabash, was quite a surprise to the public, but we knew those smile would arrest the attention of some one; also stirring qualities found in Mr. Ford would make him worthy, so the results are they are now man and wife. Miss Mary Newton, who has been in Colorado, the past year is home with her family at 1217 Wabash, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Bradley and family. A voice over the phone revealed the fact that Capt W. L. Hutcherson is in the city after spending several days in Colorado attending Y M. C. A. Conference. Nothing was more pleasing to the students of The Coleridge-Taylor Conservatory of Music, than their picnic last Wednesday afternoon then the trip to the end of the rainbow, which proved to be at Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Walton, S. St. Francis, where ice cream was served. The friend to the Conservatory furnished cars and gave the kiddies and their parents a big time. Mrs. J. W. Hayes 615 Wabash, is back home, after spending several days in Pratt, with friend. She is feeling much improved. School days are near, teachers and students are now leaving day by day for their different locations. Miss McGee Taylor of Topeka, is visiting in the City. Mr. W. G. Robinson of Los Angeles, Sunday School Lesson (19) REV P R FITYWATER, DD, Dean of the Evening School of Moody is his situte of Chicago) (16) 1928 Western Newspaper Union) PAUL WRITES TO THE PHILIPPIANS. LESSON TEXT—Phil. 3 7-16; 4 8. GOLDEN TILT—I can do all things through Christ which strengtheth him—Phil. 4 13 PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul and His Friends JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Pressing Toward the Goal INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Choosing the Best Things YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Christian's Goal. The contents of the epistle may be summarized as follows: 1. Salutation (1:12). 2. Thanksgiving and prayer in which he shows his loving interest in them (1:31.1) 3. Triumph of the gospel in spite of opposition (1:12:20). 4. Duties enjoined (1:27-2:18). 5. Paul's promise to send Timothy and Epiphanyitus (2:19:30). 6. Exhortations and warnings (3:1 4:1). 7. Renewed appeal for unity (4:20) 8. Personal matters (4:10-23). The essential message of Philip plans is a revelation of the mind which should dominate the Christian. 1. All Things Loss for Christ (3:70) The occasion for this remarkable declaration was the claim of the Judalizing teachers for legal righteous ness. In chapter 3:10 he enumerates the grounds upon which he had a right to base his claims for legal righteousness. 1 "Circumcised the eighth day," in keeping with the demands of the law 2 "Of the stock of Israel," related by blood and birth. 3 "Iribe of Benjamin," from which the first king was chosen, and which always remained loyal to the nation 4. "An Hebrew of the Hebrews" in contrast with some of mixed parent age. 5. "Touching the law, a Pharisee," the sect most zealous for the ritual of Judaism 6. "concerning zeal, persecuting the church." A passionate effort to crush the church 7. "Touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless," as to the condition of life demanded by the law. All of these, valuable in themselves when placed alongside of the excel- lency of the knowledge of Christ were abandoned for a better thing. The vision of Christ gave him the true perspective of values. In this light he saw the utter worthlessness of these things. After some thirty years of such trials and sufferings as per- haps no other human being ever knew, he has no regrets, and still counts them as refuse in comparison with what he had gained in Christ. II. Paul's Present Desire (vv. 10-11). I. "That I May Know Him." Personal acquaintance with the Lord was his supreme desire. To know the saving grace of Christ is good, but to know Christ is infinitely better. 2. "The Power of His Resurrection." This is an advance thought over personal acquaintance. It is the expression of the life of Christ through the apostle. It is the power you gain to overcome, the mastery over sin and self. 3. "Fellowship of His Sufferings." Not only identified with Christ in His sufferings by imputation, but that he might fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ (Col. 1:24). 4. "Attain Unto the Resurrection of the Dead" (v. 11). This will be accomplished when the Lord comes (1 Thess. 4:10 17) III Pressing Toward the Goal (vv. 12:16) Paul clearly grasped the meaning of his perfection in Christ, yet he was locally conscious of his personal limitations. Herein is expressed the true law of progress in the spiritual life. 1 Conscious of Limitations (v. 12) The first step towards progress is to be profoundly dissatisfied with personal attainments. No intellectual advancement is ever made by those who think they know enough, who are satisfied with what they have. 2 Conscious of a Transcendent Goal (v. 13). The Christian life is an upward calling 3 A Resolute Determination to Reach the Goal (v 14) He declares, "This one thing I do" IV. The Right Occupation of the Mind (ch 4:16) The ideal controls the man "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" When once the mind is guarded and controlled by the power of God it will die upon spiritual things Faith "Every man must lose the sunshine for a time because of the clouds that happily is be if he still retains his faith." A good shepherd always looks after his ulling sheep.—Western Christian Advocate Teaches Mercy "The religion of Jesus Christ alone teaches mercy." ```markdown ``` 'N. K. CO.'

Cook, superintendent, the pupils seemed unusually interested. At the conclusion of the study, candy was given to all the students. The pastor who has been away for several weeks, was back in his pulpit and brought two wonderful messages. At the moment, hour or so, it used as a theme: "Putting the true King or His Throne;" text 2nd Sam. 5:11; "An- they annotated David King over Israel." He spoke or David a preparation and designate, his call from the sheepfold, his victory over Goshath, his persecution by Saul, and his promotion to the kingship over Judah and Israel; as a closing thought, he urge, as to make Jesus King over our heart and life. A wonderful message: At the evening period of worship a very appreciative audience was present to have their souls fed. "The pastor spoke to us from the theme:—"Women who have made good."

LABOR DAY (Preston News Service Another Labor Day is about to take its turn in the history of American industry, when celebrants from the banks of the toiling masses will pace into the looking glass and note whether joy or sadness prevails over the features of Labor, the supplement of Capital and the chief patent of production. The black workmen of the country, during the past year, have made advancement despite the special menaces which have constantly beset them. In the East and in the middle west, they have increased their membership, both mixed and separate, in organization units of a varied type, from the A. P. of L., to other special classes of unions. In New York City, they have increased their entrance into a few trades and occupations heretofore and even now difficult of entrance. In construction work, in the steel industry, at the automobile plants, on the railroads, and in the mines, the Negro workers have advanced both in classification and in wage scales; while on the farms and in personal and domestic service even though slightly increased numbers are noted, the proportion of inclusion of the Negro group cannot be said to show any marked chance. Due to organization difficulties, founded in the hearts of their enemies by prejudice, the Negro labor group has been a target for propagandists, both radical and conservative, each of whom, as to this particular group, has but intermittently been sincere with the black masses of American workmen. After all, what does the Negro workman want for himself in his zealous endeavor to produce American wealth and at the same time realize a profitable return for the expended efforts of his muscular frame --- and willing brainst. He wants the chance that all American men are permitted to have: A savvy voice and the right to bargain with Capital as he sees fit. He wants the equal chance to become a capitan himself. He wants happy home for his children according to the ideals of American educational institutions we want the boy and girl to have an chance to serve apprenticeship at any trade or occupation they may choose; and having served, he wants not to have to face the spectre of discrimination at the gates of empio nt. He wants peace—industri al and social peace—with the fad ing memory that he is black worker; but, rather, the stimulating knowledge that he is a useful, necessary human cog in the machinery of American progress, respected, loved, and honred for what he is and what he does, giving his best to his country, and his fellowman and receiving from it and them their best; sea, all that God and man have decreed is just and right in a nation whose bulwark is DEMOCRACY, unalloyed, unafraid, unhopered by selfishness and untouched by the concerous hands of the spirit of "I am holier than thou." WHEAT BEARDS The only stock that should be abundantly watered is livestock. Go prices are stimulating wheat production throughout the world.

Weeds put along the roadsides, ditch, banks, and turn rows add to the general appearance if the farm and are at mark of thrift and prosperity. The season has been ideal for the growth of volunteer wheat. Destruction of it is the best insurance against Hessian fly. Noxious weeds, like diseases, should be readicated.

EARLY MORNING BLAZE SWEEPS NEGRO DISTRICT WITH $1,000,00 (President News Service) SMACKOVER, ARK, Sept 4—This city, scene of half dozen disastrous fides in the two years of its existence as an oil field headquarter, had a slight taste of the red destroyer again early Wednesday morning when flames broke out in a restaurant owned by Anderson Bessix and swept an entire block in the Negro quarter before firemen brought them under control. Damage was restricted to $100, 000, due only to the fact that the burned over section was in the poor quarter.

HULL unreasonableness of something together with the positive lack of logical grounds for presumption when set forth ought to more and more income thinkers of the race to use the power of thought in determining the falsity or thruthfulness of any given proposition. Not the trash presented to our readers but the higher things that stands out for the development of principle; the installing of fundamental ideas and noble ideals. The total relegating of Scandal and Scandal Mongers to the rear; Positive refusal to recognize leadership which is erected upon pillars of deceptive falsification are the only causes for the reading of Colored publications deserving of the consideration of THINKING PEOPLE. The time is here when the Masses of the race must THINK not is terms of personal or collective abuse which tend to arouse dissentions of a political or religious nature but rather in terms of social unity and harmony. Any agency or factor within the race which would abuse clear clean thinking or in a remote degree tend towards giving members of the race false views of any situation or circumstance which may effect the interests of the race is a menace to its steady peaceful security and stability.
