Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.18,No.47, THE BROOKLYN PRESS ROLAND HAYES HERE, MARCH 6 Mr. Hayes has just given his third successful concert of the season in New York City. The hall was packed every time and standing room was a premium. Tickets are flying regardless of the price, and very few seats left. Orders from out of town are as numerous as those in town. Only one week left. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to hear the greatest tenor the world has ever known. The Wichita High School is located at 2300 E. Douglass. Follow the crowd—DON'T BE LATE! 'DAD' He may wear a last year's straw hat, his fingernails may need manicuring; his vest may hang a little loose, and his pants may bag at the knees; his face may show signs of a second day's growth, and the tin dinner bucket he carries may be full of dents and doughnuts, but don't you call him "the old man." He's your father. For years he has been rushing around to get things together. Never once has he failed to do the right thing by you. He thinks you are the greatest boy on earth, bar none, even though you plaster your hair back, wear smart clothes, smoke cigarettes, and fail to bring home a cent. He is the man who won the love and life partnership of the greatest woman on earth, your mother. He is "Some" Man, and not "the old man." If you win as good a wife as he did, you will have to go some, boy.—From "Flash." FATHER AND SON Be more than his dad, Be a charm to the lad; Be a part of his life Every hour of the day; Find time to talk with him, Take time to walk with him, Shine his standing And share in his play; Take him to places, To ball-games and races, Teach him the things That you want him to know; Don't live apart from him, Don't keep your heart from him, Be his best comrade, He's needing you so.—A Guest. LOCAL TEAM CINCHES SOUTH CENTRAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION CHAMPIONSHIP Having already met and defeated the Crack College Team from Emporia, also Hutchinson, and Winfield, the Booker T. Washington III-Y Team went to Salma, and won from the Fast Dunbar Athletic Club, by a score of 14 to 9. Because of the very keen rivalry, and the fact that neither team had lost a game, there was much speculation. Salma has primed her team prepared her fans for a victory. But Wichita upset the dope. The III-Y Team is trained by our popular young Dentist, Dr. H. N Sims. DOUGLASS COMMUNITY CENTER DOUGLASS COMMUNITY CENTER KALAMAZOO, MICII. Feb. 16, '26 Since I have so many friends and acquaintances in Wichita, and other points in Kansas, and since I am so busily engaged with my new affairs for a while, I am asking that this be considered a personal letter to all of you who wish to hear from me. I am sure some of you can not realize how strange I feel away from Wichita, and my work there. I feel as if I were just away from home for a brief period as I have been. I know, however, that I'd better become reconciled to the fact I am here "for good." It is a pleasure for me to say that the very thing that I tiled so hard to do in Kansas, and was rejected, seem to be what is wanted here. I feel that some great things can be done in this section. It is an exceptional town in many respects. One thing that especially impresses me is the intelligence of the young people with their alert presence of mind. They are thinking not wondering. Just a few words and my address; wishing that this might be considered a personal letter, I am sincere as ever, E. M. BARNES. Executive Sec'y Doug. Com. Ass'n ECHOES FROM NEOSHO The Neosho Valley District Missionary Baptist Associational Executive Board met in second quarter session at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Ft. Scott, Kansas. Altho' the Pastor, Rev. W. F. Beatty is attending school in Nashville, Tenn., everything was in readiness for the meeting. The Mt. Zion Baptist Church was in a soulsaving campaign, but the setting was not disturbed by the Board Meeting; two souls came from the gates of hell, and one saw the light better, and came to the Baptist Church to be buried in the liquid grave. Splendid enlightening, inspiring and soul-saving sermons were preached by Revs. Warren Stovall, M. J. Smith, A. W. Ross, C. O. Marshall, Jas. Wilson, E. S. Scobey, Rev. Scobey, pastoring at Iola, Kansas, is the latest addition to our district, and by his rich Scriptural and experimental knowledge, bids fair to be a great asset to the district. We are not ashamed from a standpoint of comparison with other districts of our effort in trying to put the program over for the Kingdom, but we must do better. M. & D. U. under Rev. J. A. Rucker, raised $11.26; B. Y. P. U., under Mrs. Milded Owens, raised $45.05; S. S., under Rev. M. J. Smith, brought in $51.91; W. M. S., under Mrs. J. W. Gordon raised $62.10; and the receipts of Board Proper, exclusive of the auxillaries' contributions were $107 05. The Board's remittance to the State Work was $150 00, with something retained in all treasuries. We are going forth to make next meeting the largest in every way that the district has ever had. Next meeting the largest in every way that the district has ever had. Next meeting will be in Paola, Kansas, in June, with the District Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Conventions. We solicit the prayers of the household of faith. Rev. Chas. O. Marshall, Gen. See'y, 405 E. Chestnut St. Chanute. Kans ATTENTION! The District Board Meeting will be held at Mt. Zion Baptist Church.

PLACE EXTRA CHAIRS FOR HAYES CONCERT Special rates are being offered by the Roland Hayes concert management for students who are willing to sit in chairs upon the stage in the high school auditorium for the concert March 6. Several hundred auditors can be accommodated in this mannor. The reason for this provision is the regret expressed by many students that all of the dollar seats had been sold. The dollar rate for stage chair applies to students of Fairmount College, Friends University, the business colleges, high school, and the conservatories of music in Wichita on elsewhere, and will be available only to those giving full time to their studies. Application for tickets must be made at the Council of Churches office by a representative to be chosen by each institution. SERMON Delivered before the Ministerial Association at Washington St. Baptist Church, Paducah, Kansas. Theme: The Divine Choice. Text: John 15:16—"Ye have not chosen me, But I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain, That whatsoever ye ask, the Father in my name, He might give it thee." PREFACE: The Savior addressed these words to His twelve or eleven, disciples, on the same night that He was betrayed, and they were intended for them, as His Ministers and Apostles; But they will apply to us with the same force and affectiveness, Because all Christians are the objects of the Divine choice. It is indeed a fact, that is replete with consolation and joy. The disciples needed these encouraging words, in view of the Savior's approaching death, Because they stood about Him with broken heart as they thought of that awful tragedy. They considered this as the most serious calamity that could come upon their infant church. Hence they were objects of great pity. They needed these words of encouragement at a time like this. It is indeed a happy thought for one to know that he is the object of Divine choice. Then let us note:—I. This Divine Choice. We observe first that Christ took the initiative in this matter because this Divine Choice dates back from all eternity. Before we were even thought of; before the creation of the world, we were made the objects of Divine choice. This was fixed and settled in the Divine Council, when it was decided that a world should be created. This is a mystery that we can never fully comprehend; because our finite mind cannot grample with the infinite. God's thoughts are not our thoughts neither is God's ways, our ways; But as high as the heavens are above the earth, so is God's ways and God's thoughts above our thoughts and our ways. But we can see how it is possible for this to be done. When we stop to consider that God and Christ, are self existing, being, and that they have always been. That they reach back to all of the eternal past and forward to all the eternal future. There is no past, nor future with Christ, as to time, it is an Eternal now, and as to place it is an everlasting here. Two eternities brake upon His Throne, And he is the I AM, of all the ages. One day is with Him as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. This being accepted as a fact. He was qualified from all eternity to know the end from the beginning. Nothing is new with Him. As our choice of things, is based upon our knowledge of things, even so, the Lord's choice is based upon His fore-knowledge. He knew us from all eternity. Our character, conduct, our misfortune, our success WINS BOND FOR NEGRO IN FOUR YEAR FIGHT LUTHER COLLINS, ONCE SENTENCED TO DEATH, NOW TO LEAVE JAIL. (N. A. A. C. P.) HOUSTON, TEXAS.—After a series of legal battles beginning in 1922 the Houston Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has obtained freedom from Jail under $2,500 bond, for Luther Collins, originally charged with assault, and sentenced to death. His death sentenced was reversed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and Collins was again tried in 1924, the jury failing to agree after 40 hours deliberation. Collins was then tried and given life imprisonment. On appeal from this decision, the Court of Criminal Appeals remanded the case for another trial. Venue was changed to Washington County where it is now proposed to try him March 8. The Houston N. A. A. C. P., has stubbornly and relentlessly fought this series of legal battles in the Texas Courts, convinced of the innocence of Luther Collins of the crime charged against him. In making public this newest development the N. A. A. C. P. pointed out that there can be little doubt of Collins' innocence when he, a Negro, being tried in Texas for rape of a white woman, had one jury unable to agree, another unwilling to give him the death penalty, had two reversals of convictions from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and now secures release on nominal bond after four years of improvement. SLANDER "Slander has the speed of the wind, truth well mount travels slowly after and rarely overtakes the slander." "As torture of the mind is infinitely worse than torture of the body, so the cruelty of gossip is worse than any physical cruelty." "There is no more lasting cruelty than lightly repeating vicious gossip. From an injury to his body a man may recover permanently. That which injures his good name leaves a mark that stays." "Millions of men and women have been made unhappy, have endured torture year after year because of merciless gossip, lightly started." "There seems to be some crucity in almost every human being for in nearly all there appears an inclination to repeat and magnify that which is said against the character of another, especially against any conspicuous personality." "Men and women should never help any whispering campaign to blacken character." "Men and women should do more than merely refrain from spreading or listening to it. They should combat it, realizing the vicious crucity that underlies it." es and life; He was therefore fully qualified to elect us, long before we came into existence, even from all eternity. Paul says: They whom He foreknew, Them he predestinated to be conformed to the image of II's Son. Rom. 8:29; Peter declared that the Christian, to whom he wrote, was elected according to the foreknowledge of God, I Peter, 1-2; Christ said, of these elect that all that II's Father giveth Illim shall come to Illim and that he would not cast them out. John 6:37. He said, of II's elect, that other sheep I have which are not of this fold. Them also I must bring, and there shall be one Shepherd, and one of fold. Jno. 10.16. But again I want to assert, That the terms and conditions of salvation was also decided upon from all eternity. Peter says, that we are elected according to the fore knowledge of God, through Sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience, and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. (Continued on page three) OHIO SUPREME COURT BARS SEGREGATION IN SHOOLS (N. A. A. C. P.) NEW YORK, Feb. 19—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 63 Fifth Avenue, has received word of a decision by the Supreme Court of Ohio, ordering the Dayton Board of Education and the local Superintendent to admit Negro children to the same classes and buildings used by white children at the Garfield School, in Dayton. This decision affirms the decision of the Montgomery County Court of Appeals which had ruled against segregation as a result of a contest begun by a colored citizen, Earl Reese. The decision outlaws segregation of colored children in the schools of the State. It follows a similar case, fought a year ago by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the Willard School, where it had been sought to place colored children in classes in the school basement and to make them enter the building through a rear entrance. The N. A. A. C. P., sent Robert W. Eagannall, its Director of Branches to Dayton; worked in conjunction with the Parents' Protective Association, held meetings and helped to raise funds for the struggle. The Dayton branch of the N. A. A. C. P., through Rev. J. N. Samuels-Belboder, has taken an active part in fighting these cases. The Ohio Supreme Court's decision is based on a similar ruling made by the Court 38 years ago in similar cases originating in Hamilton and Butler Counties. ST. PAUL NOTES At the 11 a. m., services, Rev. J. H. Credie filled the pulpit, his theme was: "Faith," from 1st Cor. 13:13: "Now Abideth Faith, Hope and Charity." These divine attributes that reach out to human hearts; faith, love, hope, revealing the Kingdom of God that is within; Through faith we overcome all troubles finding in God a never failing refuge and the hope of salvation to mankind through divine love. The session of the Bible School at 9:45, came up to the standard of a splendid attendance. A group of girls from the 3rd division, primary department was promoted to junior class, Mrs. Eva Woods, teacher. Rev. S. S. Washington preached at evening. The A. C. E. League Meeting met at their regular hour 7 p. m. On Wednesday afternoon the Ladies Aid Society held their meet. The Women's Mite Mission Society met on Friday afternoon in the home of Mrs. C. Woolfolk. SOUTHWESTERN BOARD MEETING AT NEWTON, KANSAS. 2nd Baptist Church, Newton, Kans. Rev. J. L. Hawkins, Pastor, Feb. 18, 19, was hostess for the Board Meeting.

Marchant discussed, "Music and Its Place in the Church." Capt. Hutcherson and Rev. Martin discussed, "The Boy and Man Problem in the Church." Mrs. Carrie Anderson, President of the District B. Y. P.

"The Value of a Church Conference, Embracing all Workers" and "The Secret of Efficient and Effective Training in B. Y. P. U." Rev. Garnett took care of the Bible Hour and Rev. Paulton preach- Five Cents Per Copy RACE LEADERS MAKE PLEA FOR FEDERAL LAW AGAINST LYNCH'G (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 20—A plea for passage of a Federal antilynching law at this session of Congress was made by representatives of colored organizations at a hearing before a sub-committee of the Senate judiciary committee, Wednesday. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, advocated a cloture rule, if necessary, to obtain that a bill similar to the one now under consideration passed the House in 1922, but failed to be acted on by the Senate. Thomas H. R. Clark told the committee the colored people of the South are denied political rights and privileges, but he said they are not asking Congress to take any action to cure that condition. They are only asking, he said, that their lives be protected. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of this city also testified in support of the pending legislation. MISSISSIPPI OFFICIALS DROP LYNCHING CHARGES (Preston News Service) CLARKSDALE, MISS, Feb. 26— Indictments charging murder returned against H. S. Clockley, J. T.

Murdock, formerly of 1300 Wabash, now of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, passed from this world to join the number, entering the home prepared, Feb. 19, at 12:30 a. m. Mrs. Robinson did not live with her mother, as did the daughter Marie, but was the idol of her dear grandmother, Mrs. Harriet Rakeman, who learned to depend on Daisy as her "present help in all the routines of home life." She was a faithful Christian girl and when pneumonia got its hold, she peacefully succumbed and went home to the Father who gave her. The sorrowing grandmother, mother and sister, have the sympathy of their friends. ced the sermon. Mrs. Ida F. Bates, President, opened the Mission Society with Theme: "Prayer."
