THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.18, No.33, EIGHT THINGS MUST BE DONE BEFORE WORLD PEACE CAN COME—TOO MANY NOW HAVE THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE "As long as Protestants hate Catholics in their own community—as long as women in their card clubs hate each other—as long as we in America hate Negro or Jew or anybody else—we cannot have world peace." This the germ of the idea in the climax of the Armistice Sunday sermon delivered by Dr. Harrison Ray Anderson of the First Presbyterian Church, himself a veteran of the World War. He deplored the pharaasical attitude taken by many Americans who thank God that they are better than others, and he said that the path to peace consisted of eight stons which must be taken before swords can be beaten into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks, according to the prophesies of Isaiah and Micah. Altho he approved the league of nations, the world court, disarmament and other measures now being advocated, he said that too many "knights-errant of peace" were getting the ca t before the horse. He said in part: "The eight conditions that must be fulfilled before world peace can be attained, according to Scriptural authority, are: "First—The Lord's house shall be exalted in the mountains. The kingdom of God, the church of God, shall be made the highest thing in all their lives. "Second—Into this kingdom shall all nations flow. There shall be a great ingathering to God. Nations shall come to the brightness of Ilia presence. "Third—Many people shall go—the the missionaries shall go out and shall say, 'Come ye, come ye, let us go into the house of the God of Jacob.' "Fourth—After these people have come, God shall teach them His ways. "Fifth—They will not only learn His ways, but they will walk in His paths of righteousness and justice. "Sixth—Out from Zion shall go the law, the law of righteousness and justice, but there shall go the living Word from Jerusalem to fulfill the law. Moses sent out the law. Jesus Christ was the Word. "Seventh—He shall set up a court among the people and judge the nations. As His instrument of retribution was human—He came thru the Assyrian—so His instrument of adjudication can also be human. A great world court founded on justice and righteousness can do the work of the Lord. One just now is trying to do it. "You must bear in mind," he said in beginning his sermon, "that the prophecy concerning the beating of swords into plowshares is preceded by a number of important conditions. In reading the literature that is flowing out so copiously these days, I have turned from nine-tenths of the stuff that is published upon this subject, unsatisfied and disappointed with the paths of peace that are proposed, for in almost all instances men are speaking or writing upon this theme think of peace as the most important and primary consideration of life. Turning from all of this, I found my Bible so refreshing and so inspiring as it sets forth the paths of peace. There I find that peace cannot be had until justice and righteousness last prevail. This I find from three distinct passage in the Old Testament. "All thru the Scriptures peace comes as a result of righteousness and justice. This is the sequence: Seek ye first the kingdom of God and these things shall be added unto you. The kingdom of God does not consist first in peace but first in righteousness and justice. That is what Jesus was trying to teach when He warned against men who went up and down, crying 'peace, peace' when there was no peace. "Eighth—From His court shall rebukes go out—rebukes to nations that do wrong. The power of righteousness, and justice backed by the power of public opinion is a great force of rebuke. "Then, after all these preliminary conditions have fulfilled, nations shall THE UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE Of colored church of Wichita, and community, under auspices of The Wichita Ministerial League, will be held at St. Louis A.

They are proud of this great spiritual leader. beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations shall not appeal to the sword They shall not learn war any more. "The tragedy of the present hour is not that we do not have a world that cries for peace with its lips, but that we do have a world that shows by its its immorality and greed that it does not want peace enough to be decent and good. Many a man loves peace, but he hates the conditions of righteousness and justice which will bring it to him. That man or nation acting on that basis will never have peace in this world or the next. Millions of men profess to hate war, but do these same millions hate the thing that causes war—their own sins and their nation's sin!" The speaker then showed by Scriptural quotations how Judah forsook the religion of Jehovah and adopted the superstition of the Philistines, how the people became wealthy but corrupt idol-worshipers. Then came the warning and the prophecy of how peace must be secured in order to be genuine. In his introductory remarks he said he saw great hope in the work of the Locarno Conference and other efforts being made to lessen thelikhood of war. The things for America to bring about peace at this time, in his opinion, are: "Personal religion in heart and home, whicheen men will come to and exalt God and His Kingdom of right-rouness and justice. "Personal disarmament of minds and hearts. We must stop hatng our neighbors as well as the enemy. We must learn to love even those who hate us. "American co-operation in the world court. America must leave her isolation attitude and play the game of peace as seriously as she played the game of war." WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Nov. 13, 1925.

ABOUT COLLEGE KNOXVILLE, TENN., Nov. 9, 1925 The Knoxville Huskies after riding rough shod over Fisk University a week ago to the tune of 13 to 0 came back again and repeated the score, riding over Livingstone College from Salisbury, N. C. Sport writers from Chicago had doped Livingstone to win 10 to 0, but the dope bucket was badly upset. Never were the Livingstone boys within the forty yard line and only once did they break away for any dangerous aim, and that was when Moreland broke loose twenty yards and brought the ball to midfield where they immediately lost it. The field was very heavy, but that did not make any difference to the Huskies. They had been handling a wet slippery ball for three weeks in practice and the last three games were played on a wet field. Johnson and Ridgeway ran ends superbly Cowan returned punts for fifteen and twenty yards and was only caught on one occasion when he slipped in the mud and fell. Fowlikes again punctured a semi-lmpregnable line for consistent game. Never before had that line been plunged successfully but Saturday his terrific drives went PROGRAM OF THE— District Board Meeting TO BE HELD WITH— STIST CHURCH, WICHITA, October 19, 20, 1925, Desley Hayes, Moderator, Henry Fisher, Executive Sec'y. meeting $500.00 so that our program or will not sufer.

Cromwell for two years all Southern guard was in his prime. Getting through the line and stopping plays before they were under way, getting down under punts and stopping the man in his tracks, ripping holes in the line for his backs, and anywhere a lineman could be of service there was Cromwell. Bryant the captain and center played a wonderful game. Not a bad pass in all that mud, and under all line plays as well as being a factor in breaking up most end runs. It is going to be a hard job to replace his steadiness and consistency of good playing next year. With this 13 to 0 score under their belt the Huskies have a two-week-rest to prepare for Kentucky State and then to wind up their season with Morristown on November 25. They are out to complete the season with no more defeats. Never during Saturday's game did the Huskies show their real strength on account of the wet field. The little open field work that was tried was highly successful. FISK JUBILEE SINGERS SCORE SUCCESS TOWN HALL IN NEW YORK CITY CROWDED TO CAPACITY. A letter which was recently received by Dean A. F. Shaw of Fisk University from Mr. William H. Baldwin of New York, States that the concert which the Fisk Jubilee Singers gave at the Town Hall, at New York City on Monday evening, November 2nd, was a great success. There accompanied the letter a check for $500, which was a part of the proceeds from the concert. It is understood that those in charge of the singers, and the Trustees of the University, are encouraged over the international reputation which they are making, as is indicated by the letter, which follows in full: "NEW TORK CITY, Professor Augustus F. Shaw, Fisk University, It is with considerable satisfaction that I enclose herewith a check for $500 to Fisk University from the proceeds of the concert which the Fisk Jubilee Singers gave at the Town Hall, New York, on Monday evening, November 2nd. That concert was indeed a most happy and significant occasion, despite the fact that it came on a night when the Metropohtan Opera was opening for the season and when five plays here having their premiers. The Town Hall was filled practically to capacity with a most interesting and enthusiastic audience and the Singers were fully equal to the occasion giving us a well balanced program and singing beautifully. I am more than ever encouraged to believe that we made the wise step in planning for the Singers a regular concert program in which they will be introduced to the public exclusively on the basis of musical merit. Their notable reception abroad on this basis last June is proof that they are indeed competent musicians and that they have a real contribution to make to the music-loving public. As one result of their Town Hall appearance we have received a most interesting offer for them to go to Australia. This, in connection with the offers from competent ministers in Europe for a series of concerts in Spain and Scandanavia, is evidence of the truly international reputation which they are winning and I think we should all recognize their importance as the ambassadors of Fisk University and its great work to intelligent thoughtful people all over the world. William H. Baldwin." Walter K. Varney, of 501 5th Avenue, New York, and who is a musical and theatrical director of international fame, is in direct charge of the Fisk Singers. as two out of the three attempted passes were completed, and the ends were run several times. Livingstone was a worthy opponent and the defense was fine but they could do nothing against the line plays of the K. C. backs. The players on both teams showed a training not only in the science of football but in the science of being a gentleman. The Huskies have a coach who is a real gentleman and a man who has the power of leadership. The boys appreciate what the college holds out to them, and they are now preparing to make the season 1920 the best that Knoxville has ever seen. They are already repeating the slogan, "Win Every Game." They are considering games with teams that will be a big drawing card, and a game with Howard in Washington, is being seriously considered. The student life has taken on a renewed interest and activity, and from the grades up through President Giffen, we find the same optimistic spirit. It is hard to defeat a team or a man who knows what he wants and will pay the price that that want demand.—J. A. Marshall.

Church, Preaches, Sunday. Dr. E. D. Wittenberg, newly appointed pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church of Nashville, preached on last Sunday morning at Fisk University. Rev. Wittenberg was pastor of Allen Chapel, of Kansas City, Missouri, and was transferred last week to the Middle Tennessee Conference and given charge at St. Paul Church. Dr. Wittenberg is a ripe scholar, and forceful speaker. His audience at Disk was particularly pleased with his discourse, and it was a source of gratification to many when it became known that he was to be the new pastor of the local church. RABBI AARONSOHN VISITS DURING WEEK. Fisk was also visited during the week by Rabbi during the week by Rabbi Aaronsohn of Cincinnati, Ohio, who gave the student body an inspiring message at the morning chapel exercises. Rabbi Aaronsohn is a World War veteran, and had the misfortune of losing his sight in that great conflict; never-the-less, he still maintains his forcefulness and optimism. He was accompanied by Rev. Thomas L. Roberts, pastor of Grace Baptist Church, Nashville. N.A.A.C.P;STARTS $5000 DEFENSE FUND AS SWEET TRIAL OPENS IN DETROIT AMERICAN FUND FOR PUBLIC NEW YORK, Nov 14 On the day that Clarence Darrow begins his court defense in Detroit of Dr. O H Sweet and 10 other colored people, charged with murder for defending Dr Sweet's home from a mob, the National Association for the Advancement of Color- ed People, 69 Fifth Avenue, announces it has begun to collect a $50,000 Defense Fund to be used in fighting the Sweet and other civil rights cases. $5,000 has been given outright to the N A A. C. P. Defense Fund by the American Fund for Public Service, known also as the Garland Fund, and $15,000 more has been offered on condition that the N. A. A. C. P. raises $30,000 to meet it, that is, two dollars for every dollar given by the Garland Fund. In announcing the N. A. A. C. P. Legal Defense Fund Campaign, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. P. said; "Are 12,000,000 Negroes in America ready to back up the N. A. A. C. P. in the fight for liberty and the common rights of citizenship for every colored man, woman and child in America? If so, now is the time to act. "We have begun to raise a $50,000 Legal Defense Fund. That fund will be used not only to defend Dr. O. H. Sweet and the other colored men who defended Dr. Sweet's home from a mob. It will be used too, to fight before the U. S. Supreme Court in Washington, residential segregation by private agreement among white property owners. It will be used, too, to challenge before the U. S. Supreme Court the white primary laws by which co-ord citizens are disfranchised in the South. We want $50,000 as the munitions of war for such a fight in behalf of justice for the Negro as has not been fought since the Civil War. "White friends of the Negro's cause are on the firing line. The Directors of the Garland Fnd have given $5,000 outright. They offer $15,000 more, if we will raise two dollars to their one, thus completing a fund of $50,000. That ought to be easy for the colored people of America. Surely they have $30,000 and more to invest in citizenship rights for themselves and their children. "It is now of never.

P B FITZWATH DIL, Dean of the Evening School Moody Hall in initute of Chicago) 1822 WESTERN NEWSPAPER UNION November 15 PAUL'S ARREST IN JERUSALEM LESSON TEXT—Acts 21 18 22 22 GOLDEN TEXT—If anyone an suffer as a Christian let him but be ashamed! PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul in Praise in Danger JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul and the Jerusalem Mob INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Paul Faces a Mob YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Spirit of the Mob L. Paul's Vow (21.19.20) Upon Paul's arrival at Jerusalem representatives of the church there gave him a most cordial reception. In order that the brothers in Jerusalem might graciously receive him it was proposed to him by the elders that he take a Jewish sow to prove that he was in no way opposed to the law. The effort was to remove prejudice. They recognized that such an act would in no way compromise or involve the Gentile brother. It rather more this would not compromise his own principles of action, viz. to the Jews he became a law and to the Gentiles, a Gentile; all things to all men in order to gain them for Christ. 11 Paul's arrest (21-22) How far this not consolidated the Jews we are not told, but it only enraged the unbelieving I saw us then to resort to mob law. The muddened Jews in the backs of a supposition seized him and disgusted him from the temple and beat him most loosely intending to put him to death. Paul was rescued from the mob by the Roman guard. The chief captain not being able to get any information from the howling mob, bound Paul and started for the castle. In order to protect him from the murderous fronzy of the mob, the soldiers lifted him upon their shoulders and bore him up the stairs. Paul kept himself under control, and politely asked permission of the captain to speak to the people. When he addressed him in Greek and quoted his Roman citizenship, the captain granted his request. III. Paul's Defence (22 1 27) Paul's chief concern was not his own safety. He used this opportunity to witness unto them of Christ 1. His Chalan for a Rightful Hear-ing (vv. 13) (1) His birth (v. 2). He was a few born in Tarsos, a city of no means in reputation (2) His Education (v. 3) He was educated under Carvalho and instructed "according to the per feet manner of the law of the fathers." (2) His Zeal (v. 3). He was as redened toward God as those Jews who were trying to destroy him. 2. His Attitude Toward Jesus (vv. 45). "I persecuted this way unto the death," so that his attitude was one of hatred as was that of the Jews. 3. How His Attitude Was Changed (vv. 6-16). While on his way to Damascus with authority to bind the Christians at Jerusalem, he was smitten to the round by a light from heaven, and he spoke of the Lord said "Why persecuted thou me?" When Paul in quiet what he was to do he was told to go to Damascus where he would be told what to do. 4. The Lord Commissioned Him to Go to the Gentiles (47.21) IV. Paul Before the Sanhsdrin (23:10) 1. The Roman officer, in order to learn why Paul was arrested, communicated the chief counsel to assemble, and brought Paul before them. 2. Paul's Earnest Look at the Council (vv 12). This was a solicitation of their honor to give him a fair hearing, and also a look of conscious integrity and unfaltering courage. 3. Paul's Stern Rebuke of the Head of the Council (vv 3) "God shall suite thee, thou whited wall." 4. Paul's Appeal to the Pharisees (vv 1) Sceing that he could not get a fair hearing, and per citing that the body before him was made up of Pharisees and Sadducees, he appealed to the Pharisees hoping to get their attention, for his praising had something I common with the r belief V. The Lord Stood by Paul (v. 11) This assured him that his counter was right, and thus comfort was brought to him VI. The Conspiracy to Kill Paul (v. 14-22) More than forty men placed them selves under a curse to abstain from eating and drinking until they had murdered him. God defeated their plan without a miracle Darkness The darkness which is the result of the absence of the light which others ought to shed is but enough; but how great is the darkness of disbelief and unbelief into which some will voluntarily plunge—The Mennonite The Stream of Life The stream of life to the broad smiled man flows steadily forward without rush and tour in ways of peace and good will.

SIMS, Editor and Publisher THIS has been a week when the whole world reflected and talked about peace, whether they acted it or not. Volumes have been written and spoken, lashing out plans for peace, but there is no plan for peace, as it is an issue settled in the hearts of men and has its first demonstration on the person fixed within. He first frees his soul from hate, prejudice, dishonesty, greediness and all unrighteousness. The wise men of this age say, destroy your arms and study war no more. The meek Christ said: "Put up your sword, he that fighteth with a sword must perish by the sword." He did not reach for the sword that Peter had, but for the car that was cut off. He saw a human affected for life, so He straightened him, because he must hear the Gospel. He saw another human with the wrong idea of peace and tranquility, so He healed his soul and we don't know today, what became of the sword, but we do know the next time he had a chance to stand for his Master he denied Him. He still was not in shape for God to use him; so again his soul was worked over that he might teach the principles of peace and not try to make people peaceful when their hearts were wrong. His first demonstration of his love for his Master was wrong, and only one was affected. His next demonstration for his Master 3000 was affected. Oh! if the preachers, teachers, and parents would only begin to teach and demonstrate the message of love; schools would be one, churches would be one, societies would be one, communities would be one and one God the Father of us all. Love is not destructive, it can be in a Jew, Negro, German, Greek, Russian, Indian or any nationality, and if let have its way, harmony and prosperity will reign. As long as one nation or race feels that it is superior to another, and that makes it believe that it does not have to respect the rights of the other, but it must be honored and worshipped, there will be wars and rumors of wars. For fear you did not read the wonderful message of peace in The Wichita Beacon last Thursday, from Dr. Harrison Ray Anderson, the young pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, we have chipped it and you will find it on the first page. --- TONIGHT marks the close of a soul-saving campaign at the Calvary Baptist Church, where the opportunity was given for men to face up with their Christ and Christians were given opportunity to exercise their gift. Dr. A. M. Johnson, the efficient pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, Oklahoma City, Oklah, has preached some powerful sermons. He has logically and spiritually reasoned with men and women about their souls and we feel that Calvary will never be the same, after these great messages. If you did not come out and get your soul revived, you are the least and will have to pay in judgment. n DON'T you know you can live too fast to live long? The cemetery is filling up with young people who try to put too many hours in one day, or try to do too much in one day. A "good time" is another way to say "short time."

Each has its distinctive mission in the economy of life, yet they all work toward the one common end.
