THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE SCHOOL WORK To the Ministers, Missionaries and Cristian Workers, Generally— The Central Baptist Theological Seminary began its second semester, Monday, January 18, 1926. This institution is located two and a half miles east of Topeka, on the U.S. Highway, and just opposite the Kansas Vocational School, it has tor its site one of the most commanding in and around the city. In point of beauty, healthful aspects, quiet and other natural endowments it is simply unsurpassed. In fact, it seems that Nature tarried long, would overtime and confederated with man in order to make the locality conducive to the highest possible development of all whose good fortune it is to solomun here. Thru the brief years of its all too short existence, we feel and know that the Seminary, the object of our common interest and pride, has been amply justified, in many ways. But we should be unworthy the name Christians, undeserving of the rich legacy and unfaithful to the trust bequeathed and confided to us by that sainted friend of God and lover of humanity, Rev. Jno. H. Van Leu, and less than men and women should we be satisfied with past achievements, however great. We are sure that such an institution as we are seeking to foster has calculated to meet an appalling need a very real place in both our denominational and religious life. It is the hem of whose garment as yet, it has been scarcely able to touch. We know that it will prove a genuine benediction to any and all who will expose themselves to its influence. 1. Church History, by Newman. A liberal knowledge of Church History. I am sure, all are agreed is indispensible to anything bordering upon an efficient ministry. For without this knowledge it is virtually impossible for the minister to appropriate the past, interpret the present and forecast the future. I think no book can come more nearly thoroughly furnishing the man of God unto this work than the one we have selected. 2. Old Testament Studies, by Burroughs. This course is designed to enable the minister to get a thorough and efficient knowledge of this portion of the Bible as well as to give an intelligent approach to and enable him to study all the Scriptures intelligently and resultfully. We feel sure we make no mistake when we say that this course, too, is fundamentally essentially. 3. Doctrine of Our Faith, by Dargan. The mere mention of this course, we feel, is sufficient. The Elective Course is as follows:— 1. Missions:—The text is "World Wide Progress of Missions" by Doran. The title of this book is enough for those interested. 2. English Grammar—Altho an elective and not in the required list, when the best as well as the less fortunate of us consider our limited knowledge of this our indispensable tool, we know it ranks below none of the others in importance. He who would command the respect and hold the attention of the present day church goer must have a fair knowledge of English Grammar to say the least. 3. Sermon Arrangement. In this course we attempt practical work in Sermon making, such as deriving subjects from and for texts, preparing and presenting sermon plans or outlines; writing and reading sermons; preparing and orally delivering sermons. To the importance of clear cut thinking and speaking all can and will attest. While we agree that where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, we nevertheless, maintain that this liberty does not mean lawlessness. It does not mean we shall take a text and go" field as so many of us so often and admittingly do. In addition to the above we have set apart two nights a week for the accommodation of all who may desire to attend night school. Hoping these our endeavors may commend our work to all concerned. Your Fellow-laborer, H. MITCHELL. FISK STUDENTS DISCUSS WORLD PROBLEMS The two Y organizations at Fisk university are holding a series of joint meetings on the forum plan. The topics under discussion are concerned with world problems as they are challenging the present generation. The plan of the meeting is to have some speaker of note give an address of about thirty minutes on the topic, and then permit the students to ask questions and discuss the problem for the remaining period of the meeting. Such speakers as Professor O. C. Ault of the Peabody College, Professor W. E. Uphaus of Y. M. C. A. College, Professor E. T. Krueger of Vanderbilt University, and Professor Herbert Miller of Ohio State University will take part in the program. Keen interest is shown by the student body for the program. The students attend in large numbers and ask pointed and searching questions about these problems of the day. Coffeyville Notes. CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Key, S. A. Williams, Pastor. 6:30 Sunrise prayer meeting at Calvary was a phenomenon; 42 persons present, with one penitent sinner in the midst; and the Spirit of God was made manifest in the hearts of the people. We agree with the Psalmist, that the religion of God is full of glory and joy unspeakable. 9:30 consecration period. 9:45 Sunday School, E. H. Briley, Supt., called school to order; teachers in place and interesting, good attendance. Lesson was beautifully reviewed by the Supt. Timely remarks by Pastor. All classes in harmony and willing to work for our quota in 60 days auxiliary drive. 11 o'clock, devotion, Scripture lesson 37th Psalm. Duet by Sisters Maud Winfrey and Mildred .... "A Wonderful Place." Pastor Williams delivered a striking sermon, accompanied by the Holy Spirit, text "To Whom Shall We Go?" John 6.28 pointing out trat Christ experienced many trying and pathetic situations during His stay on earth; some of the sad experiences were when He was led out of the city and the gates closed in His face; 2nd, The stoning and miraculous escape; 3rd, The capture in the garden, being led from hall to hall as a thief and murderer. Before Pilate with a mob crying, crucify Him, The crown of thorns upon His brow; Denied by Peter, whom He considered as a true friend and disciple; The agonizing scene on the cross, and after all Jesus had suffered and all He had done for the people, we find them leaving Him, because of the profound doctrine, and at this point He inquired of His disciples: "Would ye go also?" and then Peter "To Whom Shall We Go?" for no doubt Peter had in mind that all persons and things must go down and decay, therefore, it would be useless to go to Moses or Elijah or to even think of wealth or honor and, as a refuge, He here realizes man's need of some one as our present help in time of all trouble, one that will never fall; some one to cure the sin sick soul and above all, some one who can lift us from the thro'es of death, showing it must be to Jesus that we have need to go. A wonderful sermon. These sermons preached by our Pastor are far-reaching and we realize that as a Gospel preacher he is growing more powerful. 6:30 B. Y. P. U., Bro. Geo. Roberts President. Interesting lesson, good attendance; the Union is also ready for the 60 days' drive. B o'clock, covenant and the Lord's Supper, Scripture Lesson 46th Pa., read by Pastor Williams. 45 minutes spent in testimonies for Christ, and more determined than ever to stick by and work for the purpose of putting the program over for God and Calvary, Slogan; "Up Stairs."

TALENT SHOWN The Roland Hayes Club of High School Students under direction of Mrs. T. M. Fines, really entertained a jolly audience Monday evening at L'Ouverture. The program was full of pep, thru-out, and revealed to Wichita, possibilities of many theatrical stars. The Hawlian costumes very becoming and the music corresponded. Mrs. Fines is working hard to unveil the hidden talent that is to be found among the young people of Wichita, if only a chance is given them to display it. Bishop N. C. Cleaves of the Fifth Episcopal District will preach at the L'Ouverture School on 13th Street, Sunday, Feb. 21st, at 11 a. m.; 3 p. m.; and at 8 p. m. Everyone invited to attend these services. ST. PAUL NOTES At 11 a. m., our pastor Rev. C, E. Brooks delivered a spiritual message that greatly appealed to his hearers, from the Gospel of St. Matt. 14:16: The Feeding of the Five Thousand. That it teaches many lessons of Jesus, His compassion, the power of faith, its truths are applicable today. That we should exercise our spiritual powers, and let our light shine before the world. The Holy Sacrament was administered during the services and there was one accession to the Church. The session of our Bible School was highly encouraging, with an increase NOTICE!

OLDEST PULMAN PORTER DIES NEVER COMPLAINED OF IN 6,000,000 MILE LIFE CHICAGO, Feb. 11-James B. Newsome, aged 76, the oldest Pullman porter in the country, is dead after 55% years of service. He traveled more than 6,000,000 miles on Pullman cars since he entered the company's service on September 10, 1870, and no complaint ever was made against him by a passenger, according to Pullman Company officials. "My mother taught me never to quarrel with a fool, but to humor him." Newsome often said. He call- Five Cents Per Copy LAW AGAINST NEGRO-BARBERS IN ATLANTA PROTESTED (Preston News Service) ATLANTA, GATES, CO. Action of city council Monday in passing an ordinance prohibiting Negro barbers from serving white customers after June 1, is meeting with opposition. Resolutions protesting against the ordinance were adopted here last Tuesday by the Evangelical Minister's Association and by a conference of Methodist laymen from North Georgia. Before becoming law the ordinance must be approved by Mayor Walter A. Sims. "We deplore the proposed action of the city of Atlanta," reads part of the laymen's resolution, "as being unjust to the Negroes." The measure works both ways, prohibiting a white barber from working on a Negro. To reconsider Barber Bill. The city council of Atlanta will reconsider its own action in passing an ordinance prohibiting Negro barbers from serving white patrons. This was assured here Wednesday when Councilman John A. White who voted for the measure said he would move for reconsideratin at council's adjourned session Thursday. The councilman said he had talked with a sufficient number of the members who voted for the ordinance to insure its reconsideration. He said he and others who favored the measure were under the impression at the time it had had a public hearing. The ordinance was passed Monday by a vote of 21 to 10. It brought forth protests from Chamber of Commerce officials, the Georgia manufacturer's Association and the laymen's Regional Conference of the Methodist Church. Mayor Sims yesterday did not indicate what course he would pursue with reference to the measure. His telephone was kept busy all day yesterday with calls protesting and approving the bill. W. D. Hoffman, president of The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, declared if the mayor signs it, that organization will go into court and seek an injunction against its enforcement. Numerous delegations were to call the mayor today to protest against his possible signing the act. The protest of the Methodist laymen was in the form of a resolution passed in conference, which term the measure "unworthy of white citizens to thus discriminate against colored people, to whom we ought to be just and helpful to the limit of our ability, in guaranteeing them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Another resolution protesting the act was from the Evangelical Ministers' Association. President Hoffman, of the Chamber of Commerce, bases his protest on the constitutional rights of the Negroes and the hurt such a measure would do to business by voiding leases on downtown business property. ed this his motto of life. "That's what I do, I study my man and I know him," he frequently de- clared. For 45 years Newsome traveled between Chicago, and Denver in ear- ly days. Once his train was stopped by a herd of buffalo for 30 minutes. Another time the train was attacked by Sioux Indians. Buffalo Bill Gives $100 Tips His largest tip was given him by the late Buffalo Bill. It was a $100 bill. Newsome was to have been retired on March 1 next. Ordinarily the Pullman Company retires its porters at the age of 70, but because of many requests of patrons a special order from the president of the company retained Newsome after that age. For a number of years he had traveled on the Chicago, and Alton Railway between Chicago and Springfield and between Chicago, and St. Louis. RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS OF KANSAS --- Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FITZWATKIR, DIP, Dean of the Evening School Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (© 1928. Western Newpaper Union) Lesson for February 14 JESUS, THE GOOD SHEPHERD LESSON TEXT—John 10 1-30 GOLDEN TEXT—I am the good shepherd, the good shepherd given to life for the sheep —John 10 11 PRIMARY TOPIC—The Good Shepherd and His Sheep JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus the Good Shepherd Shepherd INTLIMEDIATE AND SENIOR TON IC—What the Good Shepherd Does for Hia Shepherd YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOI IC—Many Sheep, but one Shepherd The relationship of the Messiah to His own is set forth in the Old Test ament under the figure of the shepherd and his sheep. (Is 23, 12 31) 1. The Good Shepherd (vv. 118). 2. He Is the True Shepherd (vv. 1-0). He came by the divinely appointed way. The power exercised by the Pharisees in casting out this man was not obtained by lawful means. It was stolen by them and exercised in the bold spirit of robbers. John the Baptist, and others of the prophets, had performed the function of the porter and opened the door to the Shepherd (v. 23). Despite the deceit, audacity, theft and robbery of these Pharisees, those who were Christ's sheep were declared to be forming a new flock and following Him as the true Shepherd (v. 4). The reason the man suffered excommunication for Jesus' sake was that he recognized Him as the true Shepherd and the Pharisees as strangers. 2. He Is the Door of the Sleep (vv. 7-10). The way to fellowship to God is through Christ. He is the only door (Acts 4:12). There is absolutely no way to get into the fold of the redeemed but by Him. All who attempt it are thieves and robbers (v. 8). Those who become members of the flock through Him enjoy marvelous gifts (vv. 9, 10). (1) Salvation—"Shall be saved" Not only saved now but saved eternally (vv. 27, 28). (2) Liberty—"Shall go in and out" (v. 0) Only those who accept salvation in Christ know what freedom is. (3) Contentment—"shall go in and out and find posture" (1, 0). The one who really enters the fold by Christ, the door, receives that which is all satisfying to the soul 3 He Is the Good Shepherd (vv 11-18). He is so devoted to Ilius sheep that He willingly has down Ilius life for them. The birding abandons his sheep in time of danger. The Good Shepherd has perfect knowledge of Ilius sheep and they know Him (v. 14, 15). He emboss such personal in tinue with Ilius sheep that He knows them by name and goes before them to lead the way and defend them from every danger. This He will do even unto death. On Calvary this was his tortorally fulfilled. It was Christ's love for such sheep as this poor blind man that caused Him to give up Ilius life in order to find for them the abundant life (v. 10). This sympathy is world wide: "other sheep I have which are not of this fold." This suggests that the Gentiles have a place in Ilius fold. All who believe in Christ form one flock in order to save Ilius sheep He voluntarily laid down Ilius life (v. 17, 18). 1. Unbelievers Are Not HIs Sheep (iv. 1920). Christ's assertion that He was the good shepherd caused a all vision among the people. Some accused Him of being mind others that He had a devil. To their request that He would tell them plainly if He were the Christ. He referred them to the testimony of HIs works declaring that the secret of them in ability to recognize Him was their unbelief. 2. They Recognize HIs Voice (v. 4) There are many voices in the world the voice of the bireling, the voice of the thief and the voice of the stranger but none of these will the sheep hear. The voice of the true shepherd is recognized by HIs sleep even amid the label of voices in the world today. 3 Hls Sheep Follow Hls (vv. 3, 27) This is the proof that they are Hls The one who does not hear head and obey the Lord's voice is clearly not Hls sheep. Hls sheep have unquestioned faith in Hls ability to lend them. 4 Hls Sheep Are Eternally Secure (vv. 27, 28). The sheep are entirely dependent upon the Shepherd. It is the Shepherd's business to look after and care for the sheep. This He does for He knows them by name and is acquainted with their weaknesses and trials. The Real Blessing The real blessing, mercy satisfaction is not in the having or the lack of purity onward things but in the consciousness that the true source of life and in pain is deeper than all these.—John W. Clindell. Eyes to See As a face is made beautiful by the soul's shining through it so the world is beautiful by the shining through it of a loving God. Happy the man who has eyes to see the shining.

Sunday School at 9:45, teachers in charge of their regular classes; 60 scholars present, which we are very proud of the interest the young people are taking in same. A few interesting points were: sermon was, "Lead us not into temptation;' another one of his sermons on the series on the Lord's Angels. A few intersting points were:—(1) When we are tempted, do not any we were tempted by God, for He does not tempt any one to evil. But God allows man to be tempted for example. The temptation of Adam eating the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden; (2) Jesus Christ is tempting us by letting our cups run over; (3) Every walk of life and every profession of life is full of inducements of sin. It was a soul-stirring sermon. Next Sunday's sermon, subject: "But deliver us from evil." Don't miss this sermon. B. Y. P. U., at 6:30 p. m. Lesson conducted by Study Course Leader, Mrs. M. T. Waters. "Doctrinal—The Inspired Word" was inspiring.

Jones, 304 W. 1st St. We enjoyed a real spiritual feast, Sunday, Jan. 31st, throughout the day; beginning with Sunday School at 9:30 a. m. Bro. R. L. Robinson and teaching staff on time, all smiling with gladness and cheer in their countenance. Lesson wonderfully taught and enjoyed by all. 11 a. m. Pastor preached from text II. Peter 3:18, subject: "Development;" this was a masterpiece: our hearts were made to burn, overflowing with joy while he portrayed, how and why we as Christians should develop, stating distinctly that the Kingdom of Jesus Christ could only be extended in the hearts of men, according to our spiritual development. I would to God that the whole state of Kansas, and the entire world had heard this very timely message. At 6:30 p., m. the faithful Vice President of the B. Y. P. U., was found at his post, greeted by staff and pupils, all anxious to get into the lesson study, "What I Owe To My Father." A wonderful lesson, ably taught by general instructor. At 7:45, being 5th Sunday, Beacon Light Mission Circle, with Sister Myrtle Taylor at the helm; who after a few remarks, favored us with a program from the idea: "The Uplifted Christ In The Hearts Of Men." If we as Christians would carry out the many good things brought out in that program, the Kingdom of Jesus Christ would be extended: "The Uplifted Christ in the Hearts of Men;" Sister M. Taylor, Vocal Solo, Sister Willa Mae Tolbert, "The Uplifted Christ in the Hearts of Men THE RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS in America;" Sister P. Walker. Vocal Solo, Sister L. Stevenson.

Rainey. Vocal Solo, Bro. Jas. Clark. Remarks by Pastor. "Spiritual Death" by Rev. K. E. Jones When we consider, search and research the Scripture, seeking a remedy to cure a disease that has taken hold of God's people, known as spiritual death; we find 1st that the reason we die spiritually is for the lack of knowledge. We have not the required knowledge to promote the kingdom of Jesus Christ, because we fail to study His Word. We do not study, due to the fact that manned interest is gone. Our virtue has vanished away like a drop of rain; because our faith is so little, our faith is squandered; owing to the fact that we are self-willed; there is a reason for our being in that predicament, why? because we are not acquainted with God, and there is a great reason why we are not acquainted with God:—We try to know Him without being introduced to Him through His instrument (the Bible.) Yes! We die spiritually for the lack of patience due to' our lack of Godliness; which is exemplified by our lack of brotherly kindness. Brotherly kindness has taken on wings of the morning and flown away to some unknown region. Why? Because she is lonesome without her brother: (Brotherly-Love.)

There is a desperate frenzy, born of fear which is not courage, that only lasts while the effect is felt, real courage is born in a character which bids you press on in the face of odds and conquer the foes in our own breast. No one can hope to be a leader, master of men, unless he can control his own fears. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleh his own spirit, than he that taketh a city.
