THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.18,No.43, Delivered by Dr. P. D. Skinner to His own Congregation Sunday Morning, Jan. 21th, 1926. TEXT:—"On the Bath of Christ," —"Which was born, not of blood nor will or man, but on God—"—with a of the will of the flesh, nor on In the preceding verse, John H. spoken of Christ as being the Word; as being with God, as being God, as being the instrument in the creation of all things ar being the Word; as being the life of man, as coming to his own, and as being rejected, as giving to them that accepted and belived on Him power to become sons of God. Then He proceeds to speak of His birth, in reference to which He said of Him: that He was not born of blood nor on the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, b of God. That He as being the word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we behold His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father; full of grace and truth. Now, as we approach the text, we discover that John states four propositions respecting the birth of Christ. Three negative, and one positive. The three negative propositions are first, that His birth was not of blood; the second is, that His birth was not of the will of the flesh; the third is that His birth was not of the will of man. The 4th proposition is positive, in which He declares that II's birth was of God. Now in discussing our text, we will proceed (1) To consider the three negative propositions, in the order in which they are given, and now to beg in the first proposition states that His birth was not of blood. The signification here is that Christ had no human ancestry, and therefore He had no ancestral nor lineal blood. I have ancestral blood in my veins, because I have a human father and I am his offspring, and my whole body pregnant with father's blood; I had a father and hence my ancestry can be traced back through many generations and so can yours. But Christ had no human father and therefore He has no ancestral blood in His veins. If you read the first chapter of Mathew and the 3rd. chapter of Luke, you will notice, that they do not connect Him with their genealogical research, et al: mathew ends his with Joseph and Luke begins his with Joseph. After Matthew ends his genealogy, he then proceeds to tell how Christ was born, by quoting the language of the angel, spoken to Joseph through a dream, in that the angel, said to Joseph: fear not to take unto thyself, Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call His name Jesus, for He sae save His people from their sins—Matt. 1:13-22. Luke starts out with his by saying that Jesus at His baptism, began to be about 30 years of age being as was supposed the Son of Joseph; and this was no more than, that, because, the Angel Gabriel contradicted, and set that aside in his announcement to the Virgin Mary, in them words: Mary, in these words. Mary, for thou has found favor with God, and behold thou shall conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a Son and shall call His name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called, (not the Son of Joseph) but the Son of the Highest." And thus he emphasized the fact, that IIs conception, would have no ancestral connection with any human father, and hence, (Continued in next issue.) Calvary Baptist News. Rev. J. W.

Waters, Pastor. Sunday School opened on time by Supt. Browner. Pastor Waters' class of young ladies, still holds the banner. 11:30 Pastor Waters delivered his second sermon on the series of sermons on the Lord's Prayer, Subject: "Thy Kingdom Come." Some of the striking points in the Pastor's sermon are: "The Kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost." The Kingdom of God is an organized community which is subject to the will of the personal God He further stated that to pray this prayer "is t knowledge that the world has departed from God." The Pastor was filled with the Holy Spirit and all went home more determined to pray for the coming of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. B. Y. P. auditions at 6:30.

Pastor Waters delivered the sermon which was a master-piece. It is said by those who heard Pastor Waters that was one of the best funeral orations that they ever listened to. Rev. Cox was loved by all who knew him and his presence will be greatly missed in our church and city. We the members of the St. were thirty-five, three years ago. A community of three hundred boys are proud of this record. THE Y. M. C. A. IS PROUD OF IT TOO! "These RIGHT ONES in turn keep others right. Thus the Y. M. C.

The choir took their places at 11 a. m., and rendering inspiring music. At 11:30 the pastor preached a wonderful sermon from Matt. 6:11. This was the Pastor's 4th sermon on the series of sermons on the Lord's Prayer. His subject was, "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread." In his sermon he said that our prayers should include all which we want. We must include our desires in our prayers. When we play, "Give us" we mean everybody or you. We are all one with One God, One Savior, and one Holy Spirit. When we enter into prayer, we must pray, "Give us this day our daily bread." His sermon was put before us very beautifully. Many hearts were made to feel glad, so we are sure to look for NEGRO MINISTRY BREAKS WITH G. WILSON WILEY WILEY. The Resolution Passed by the League, purported to carry the roster of the members and not the Signature. And as it was passed by the League, the membership was given, in order that the responsibility be upon the Organization and not, one or two members. And in a much as Rev. Wiley was a voting member, his name was attached. But in as much as he breaks with the actions of the League and that action excused the very conditions condemned by the League. Therefore, The League, in session, January 27, 1926, suspends Rev. Wiley from membership and with-draws the hand of fellowship. Rev. Walten Brown, Vice President; Rev. B. L. Marchant, President; W.

BURNSIDE THE APPEAL FOR REV. BURNSIDE It is very pleasing to hear the very kind remarks spoken in reference to the appeal for Rev. Robt. Burnside's "Health Trip." We have been accosted from every side with the remarks. "You Count On Me!" But up to date there has been but few, who have sent in any money. I am sure all the churches will respond if the Pastors will present the appeal. Sometimes the pastor forgets, Is this your case? If so, remember Rev. Burnside can't make the trip unless you help so it is not too late for your offering. He is waiting for your offering. Please Help! EXAMPLE FROM SISTER BERTIA MOORE STRONG CITY Sister Moore and son sont in first donation of $1.25. Her small sons heard her read the appeal from The Negro Star; those boys 3 of them, range from 4 to 10 years of age. When they heard the appeal, they asked their mother if they could give; so they gathered up their pennies which resulted in 25c. This is a splendid example. A copy of Sister Moore's litter:— STRONG CITY, Jan. 13, 1924. Rev. A. W. Ross, Dear Brother:— Enclosed find $1.25 as my personal donation toward helping Rev. Burnside. I am sorry that at this time I am not able to give more. I don't think Rev. Mason knew of the effort being put forth as he didn't say anything about it Sunday, (Jan. 10.) I am praying that the $300.00 or more will be raised, and if the Lord wills, Rev. Burnside may be restored to health again. The 25c is what the children sent, when I read the appeal in The Star.

We were pleased to have join in our corps of teachers, Miss Marie Brown who will have charge of Young Men's Class and Mrs. Jessie Terry as Supt. of the Primary department. The boys intermediate, Mrs. Neva Brown, teacher, was the barner class. Miss Mayberry made a splendid report from the annual meeting of the S. S. Association. There was a very good attendance at the early morning prayer meeting Does It Pay To Serve God? was the subject of the sermon by our pastor, Rev. C. E. Brooks at 11 a. m., from Malachi 3.1. That we are confronted by the question, What does it profit to serve God? A promise that never fails of a sure reward to all who trust and obey; we can go to God for a sure refuge at all time. One of the great needs is that the Christians shall lead the life that would influence the world. Rev. Brooks also preached a very able sermon again at evening. There were two accessions at the morning service. We were pleased to have the presence of the Brother J. T. Chinneth with us after an absence of two weeks on account of illness.

The Local Union is to the City Union what the parent is to the child, The Local Union can exist without the City, but the City cannot exist without the Local, and with such relation, it stimulates a greater interest in the Union Work; especially among the smaller churches, or the churches where there is no Union, and such relationship. The B. Y. P.
