The committee to conduct the devotional at Dunbar School Friday morning, composed of Dr. H. B. Bronson, L. V. Bolton and C. P. Morrow reported to have done well their duties in inspiring the hearts of the children. The activities and plans of our Central Baptist Theological Seminary by Dean H. Mitchell; Summer School by Rev. W. H. Young and Kansas Vocational School by Prof. E. E. Weaver, were all well outlined and strong pleas for better support. As usual, the Women's Convention had charge of Saturday Night and rendered a wonderful program, using out of town and local talent. Sunday was a great day all day with Model Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Rev. A. W. Ross conducted a Missionary Mass Meeting at 3 p.m. impressing the ideas of Mission on the hearts of the people. Thus passed into history a great session of the Kansas Baptist State Convention in the midst of as fine a set of people as there are in the world, at Salma, and the St. John Baptist Church. DANCE OR EDUCATION B. HENRY NEELY, Commander Arthur Gossett, Post 273 American Legion. Can it be in these brain-needing times that we are giving more encouragement to dancing than we are to education? Who is on the dance side? It seems that we are all for it as no one has yet cried out against it. I dare say mother is more proud of her daughter because she can dance than she is of the grades she brings home from school. Why do we say this? Because you hear more of them say 'it isn't any harm to dance, and besides it makes you graceful.' Well, a word about the gracefulness you get from the dance—It will not get you any respect from only those with whom you dance, and they have an object in view. How many old gray haired mothers do we hear say, "when I was young I was the most graceful dancer in our town, child? I used to dance with a cup or a saucer on my head?" Is not that encouraging the dance? Too often is the question asked, "mother, where is your daughter or son?" and you answer, "O they have gone to a party over here or there;" yes they are at a party learning how to dance and in a great many cases, you look on with delight. Dance?—Did it make a Booker T. Washington, a Bishop Vernon, a Dr. Walker, a Charles Stewart, a Rev. S. B. Butler, a Rev. J. W. Hayes, a J. E. Douglass, a B. I. Marchant, a Bishop Cleaves, a W. L. Hutcherson; or a woman of any note whatever? No, but it has ruined the stamp or pattern for many great and noble careers and folly loomed upward. The day has not passed when it is too often asked of us to jig a little for us only we are a little more up-to-date about it now they call for the Charleston and name it askance, a contest. Now what has it done here? It has lowered the respect once held for our youth around here. Men and women who are doing things DR. HATCHER ON LECTURE TOUR IN WEST (Great news Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 16—Dr. James S. Hatcher, Pastor of the leading A. M. E. Church in Richmond, Va., was in Pittsburgh last Sunday and Monday on his lecture tour which will include some of the leading points in the West. Sunday morning, Dr. Hatcher preached in Eethel A. M. E. Church, of which Dr. J. C. Anderson is pastor; In the afternoon at the Missionary Christian Alliance of which Dr. E. M. Burgess is pastor; and at 8 p. m., at Ebenezer Baptist Church of which Dr. J. C. Austin is pastor. Dr. Hatcher is helping to raise an educational fund for Kittrell College, at Kittrell, N. C. Special to The Negro Star:— Several persons have approached me, critically, because of my absence at the State Convention, Salina, the past week. First, may I advise that I was not advised of my place on the program until the local folk returned and showed me a copy of program. This is the third time that I have been placed upon the District, Board or State Program, without being advised. Now I should advise that I am employed by an organization; and while they have been very generous in permitting me to fill such engagements, I cannot perniciously ask to attend meetings when there are no logical reasons why I should do so. And it is out of the question to expect my church to pay my expenses to all of these meetings. Let me assure you of my willingness to render reasonable service; but I must be advised as to what is expected. On Wednesday afternoon, members of the E. B. B. Club met at the home of Mrs. James Bryant. The time was devoted to business and other matters. The annual election of officers also was held. An elegant lunmheon was served by the hostess. Next week they will meet with Mrs. Eva Woods, 519 N. Water. Editor:I would like to express my appreciation for the gift from this Club to assist us in our work. PANSY ART CLUB The Pansy Art Club entertained at Mrs. Arthur Gray's Oct. 15. All members were present. The club will meet with Mrs. A. Martin, 1137 N. Mosley, Oct. 22, at 7:30 p. m. do not ask you if you can dance, they ask you if you are a Christian, a member of the Y. W. C. A. or Y. M. C. A., if you are making your grades in school? Dance won't get you a Job—They ask what you know; how much education you have, what trade you learned, What plans have you to help your people? Dance have dragged down more of our girls to the gutter than any other known evil. Dance has filled our orphanages, insane assylums, and penitentiaries—Look at the records and see. You may say if my son or my daughter dances it isn't anyone's business. Well there is an element of truth in your answers but we assure you when they return home with tuberculosis or otherwise, it will still be yours then. Why not call a halt now, while the fever is on. Remember these boys and girls we are talking about are our future generation, our future church and should be the pride of our future hopes. Father or mother, Do You Care? Our Race Needs Men and Women! Will You Help? Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FITZWATER, DD, Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago ) (© 1925, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for October 18 PAUL WRITES TO THE CORIN. THIANS LESSON TEXT—I Cor 13 1.13 GOLDEN TEXT—Now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three, but the greatest of these is charity"—I Cor 13.13 PRIMARY TOPIC—What Love Does JUNIOR TOPIC—Working Together INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Greatest Thing in the World FOUND PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Love, the Hope of the World The occasion of the writing of this epistle was: 1. The existence of rival factions contending each other. Some were for Paul; some for Apollos; some for Peter, and some for Christ. This factional spirit was threatening the disruption of the church. 2. Their failure to carry out church discipline. 3. Their going to law with each other. 4. Indifference to gross immorality. 5. Letters requesting information as to: a. Marriage and divorce. a. Marriage and divorce. b. Food connected with sacrifices and festivals. 7. The presence in the church of certain ones who denied the resurrection of the dead 1. The Preeminence of Love (vv. 13). It transcends: 1 Spanking With Tongues (v. 1). For men to possess the loftiest cloquence and be lacking in love is to be as booming brass or a clanking cymbol. 2 The Gift of Prophecy (v. 2). To be able to penetrate the mystery of nature and Providence is good, but to love is better. 3 Faith of the Most Vigorous Kind (v. 2). Even though one should have sufficient spirit faith as to remove mountains it is of less value than love. 4 Philanthropy of the Most Generous Sort (v. 3) Even though one should have such a spirit of altruism as to be moved to surrender all earthly goods for the sake of the poor, unless actuated by love, he would have no recognition before God. 11. The Attributes of Love (vv. 47). 1. It Is Long Suffering and Is Kind (v. 4). It means not only to bear long, but to be kind all the while. 2. It Is Free From Envy (v. 4). Those who are controlled by love are entirely free from the spirit of envy because of the superior worth and success of others. 3. It Is Free From Boosting and Vanity (v. 4). Love strives to do good to all without seeking admiration and applause. 4. It Is Incognito (v. 5) Love is always polite and mannerly; know how to behave at all times. 5. It Is Unselfish (v. 5) It is always seeking the good of others while forgetful of self. 6. It Does Not Give Way to Passion (v. 5). It is not quick tempered. 7. It Takes No Delight in Evil (vv. 5-6). It does not impute evil motives to others and is free from suspicion. Love has no sympathy with that which is evil. 8. It Beats All Things (v. 7) That is, it impairs itself in the gracious mantle of love and shuts out all evil. 9. Love Is Trustful (v. 7) 9 Love Is Trustful (v. 7) It looks into the future with confidence 10 Love Is Hopeful (v. 7). 10. Love Is Hopeful (v. 7). It relies the things of the future, brings them into the present and appr propitates them for its use. 11. Love In Firm (v. 7). It intelligently sets his attention to things that are right and with an怒rying strength, holds it. III. The Permanence of Love (vv. 8-13). 1. It Outlasts Prophecy (v. 8). Prophecy in the Scriptures means both a foretelling of events and the teaching of the Word of God. 2. It Outlasts Speaking With Tongues (v. 8). The race once spoke the same language, but as judgment for sin and rebellion, God brought confusion and caused the people to speak many tongues. 3. It Outlasts Knowledge (v. 8). The knowledge we now have is only relative, but the day is coming when the relative knowledge shall be done away by the coming in of a wider and nobler intelligence. Seed Grain Cast forth thy act, thy word, into the ever living, ever working universe; it is a seed grain that cannot die; unnoticed today, it will be found flourishing as a banyan grove after a thousand years—Thomas Curlyle. Fear of Making Mistakes Some of us know what it is to be miserably afraid of making mistakes in our work. How graciously He meets this with "I will direct their work in truth."—Frances B. Havergal.

The Queen's contest put forward by Mrs. Fannie Rucker, Grand Queen of the State of Kansas, measured up to the highest standard. These were the Grand Queen's own ideas, to whose name should be added a culogy for her extraordinary talent, interest and beneficial work in this Order. Two of the recent original ideas of the said Queen, are the By-laws and Funeral Ceremony which were so scholarly presented by her to the Grand Royal House for their approval. To say the By-Laws and Funeral Ceremony were unanimously accepted, is but slight expression of the grateful spirit that existed upon receipt of same.

Walnut WILL HEAD COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE WILL HEAD COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, Oct. (Special)—In a drive for $232,500 00 by the Community Chest of this city to be started the first week in November, the Council of Agency and the Executive Committee, comprising the leading white citizens of Nashville, selected Henry Allen Boyd to direct the colored work and set up their organization. The announcement of this selection was made here in both daily papers, morning and afternoon of this week. The appointee has worked in every campaign put on by the Chest, even before the various agencies got together to make one organization. Then too, he was Chairman of the Campaign Committee when the drive was put on by Nashville Citizens to claim the Rosenwald Fund. It was a drive for the Y. M. C. A., at which time, $40,000 00 was subscribed by Nashville Negroes for the work. Later on, he was made Chairman of the Committee of Management of the Colored "Y" serving for nine years in that position. Then, when the colored people of Nashville took over the Y. M. C. A. property and formed a separate organization with a State Charter, he was named as one of the Board of Directors and is Secretary of the Corporation. Last fall in the Community Chest drive, he acted as as Secretary. His selection as Chairman of the Community Chest Drive this year, came as a surprise to his friends who insisted that he would not decline, no withstanding, the many duties he is performing and positions he is already holding.

NEW YORK POLICE QUELL ALLEGED RIOT OVER PRISONERS NEW YORK, Oct. 16—According to the police two riots in Upper Manhattan, were quelled Thursday by police engaged in arresting two offenders. A mob intent on lynching the alleged attack of a white woman, was dispersed by police in upper Lexington Avenue; while in Harlem a mob was repelled from rescuing a prisoner from the police. The mob in Manhattan was composed of about a thousand men and women who had beaten and attempted to lynch William Mack, who was found in a hall way in a compromising position with a white woman. It is said that the mob in Harlem was composed of about 100 Negroes, who tried to take a prisoner from a policeman. (Preston News Service) WASHLINGTON, D. C., Oct. 16—It was announced at the opening exercise of Howard University that 1,518 persons applied for entrance to the Freshman class. This is said to be the largest enrollment the school has ever had in its fifty-six stars of existence. Officials of the institution declare that they are not interested in numbers but are making careful selection to obtain its energies in training capable young men and women for life's duties. It is expected that several will be turned back for lack of fundamental qualifications for entrance into the school. It is planned to make the student be composed of an advanced group from year to year. Coffeyville Notes.

WE are forced to believe that the Women's Federation of Clubs is the most effective organizations in the city among our women. They seem to have the spirit of Missions, They see an opportunity to do good and then with a determined will, go to the task. We can point to the Children's Home with pride, and talented students, who have been helped through school. Many poor and needy helped and relieved. Donations to worthy causes. THE Master would say to America, if He were walking the streets and watching the signs of the time, and watching the K. K. K. activities as they seek to control and bar the privileges of human beings on account of religious belief and racial conditions: "The Axe heth at the root of the tree, ye Americans." It will be in the course of time when you will cut your ownselves down. The Negro should keep clear so when the tree falls, it will not fall on him, as someone must clear away the waste and make ready for a new day. TOO much time is wasted by the Negro, trying to adjust some grievances; trying to explain why he should not be treated badly and trying to get the whole race to agree on the reason why he acted as he did, and why the others did not understand. It is expensive to stop doing real work at any time to adjust shortcomings or breakage, be they mental or physical. It is far better to watch for the harmonious development of community in which you live or the things which you handle, than to have to call all the help to correct or adjust some wrong or unharmonious development. Seek the place where you will count the most to your race and your God. Let your works make you popular and you will be in harmony with God and Man. THE Popular Class and the Street Walker were able to get together at the Miller Theatre last week to support the "Charleston Dance," but they can't unite in Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., or Community uplift. The money spent one night to encourage this dance would have easily paid the way through school some worthy student, who would give back to the race and nation a life far better than the thought of dancing and playing cards. It is impossible to think crooked and walk straight. After you have become perfect as a dancer and cardplayer, then what good are you to the development of this Christian civilization? We have never at any time for the uplift of fallen humanity they required a recommendation from the dancer or wild notioned people.

(Inst. of Social and Religious Resercr) The Negro theological schools in this country are today nearly all of a lower status than other schools for higher education of Negroes, have lower entrance and graduation requirements and comparatively small enrollment, according to the findings of a survey made under the direction of the Institute of Social and Religious Research, of New York City, by Dr. Robert L. Kelly, author of Theological Education in America, a study of white seminaries, and Mr. W. A. Daniel. The survey report, written by Mr. Daniel, himself a Negro, and published by the Institute under the title, "The Education of Negro Ministers," states that Negro ministers are not so well educated as men of their race trained for other occupations, and that their influence as leaders of their people is diminishing. All the Negro Schools in the United States that advertised theological courses in 1923-24 were included in the survey, which showed that if all their graduates of last year had gone directly into the ministry, as is usually the case, less than 3 per cent of the annual vacancies, estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000 in the Negro Churches of the country could have been filled by men "whose combined literary and theological training would be esulqalent to three years above high school." The report presents the results of a careful study covering not only the origin and historical background of the Negro theological schools, and the influence of denominational connections upon their administrative problems, their standards, methods, personnel, requirements and curricula. An interesting study was also made of the religious experiences, attitudes and beliefs of the theological students. "Leadership in the Church," says the report, "has become merely one among many avenues open to men possessing the qualities and ambition that once would have found adequate expression only in the ministry. In generation of students in Negro colocase in prestige, the ministry is less able to compete successfully with them. "In the estimation of the present generation of students in Negro colleges, the growing prestige of medicine, law, dentistry, pharmacy, and social service as compared with the ministry, is owing in a large measure to the relatively higher training required. "Because if the low standard for licencing ministers as compared with the standards for licensing men in other professions, the candidates for the ministry are not as easily convinced of the necessity for thorough preparation as are the candidates for professions with higher licensing requirements. From the standpoint of the Negro church, the task of the Negro theological school is therefore rendered at once more difficult and more important. "The persons of urbanization, with its increased industrialization of the Negro, has been paralleled by a rapid increase in literacy, in the influence of the press, particularly the Negro press, and in increased educational fu FOOTBALL NEWS FROM KNOXVILLE COLLEGE The Knoxville College foot-ball squad boasting thirty-six members, are fast being whipped into shape for the opening game with Atlanta University on the tenth of October.

They left New York, July 25, and returned to the same port September 10. During the time they were abroad, they gave a concert almost every evening. While they visited all sections of the British Isles, perhaps their greatest work was done in Scotland, in and around Glasgow, and Edinburgh. The quartet was cordially and enthusiastically received by the Britishers. At all the concerts the applause was exceedingly generous. Despite the fact that they were in a country at the time of year when there are few concerts or lectures, the quartet was able to draw some large crowds. There were several audiences from a thousand to fifteen hundred people. In the city of Edinburgh, one of the great intellectual centers of the world, sixteen hundred people came out to hear the quartet on a rainy night. Several afternoon concerts were given by radio in some of the larger cities. These concerts were all under the direction of the British Broadcasting Company whose headquarters are in London. The closing concert of the tour was given in Southampton, England. There they had one of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences. The quartet sang in a hall but a short distance from the old Pilgrim Church. At Southampton the singers took boat for France where they spent a week visiting places of interest before returning to America. The Personnel of the quartet is as follows:Mr. Lowell Peters, 1st tenor., from Little Rock, Ark.; Mr. Beaty Mann, 2nd tenor, from Curryville, Ga. Mr. Newell Fitzpatrick, baritone, from Somerset, Ky.; and Mr. Andrew Paul, bass, from Knoxville, Tenn. The quartet will spend the winter giving concerts in Northern and Eastern states. The College is planning a tour for them through Southern States during April and May. It is probable that they will make a tour to the Pacific Coast next summer. FOR SALE 827 N.
