Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.18, No.51, KEEP THE FAITH The "300 Members" accured in the Membership Campaign of the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., represents pledges amounting to over one thousand Dollars. Less than three hundred and fifty dollars was received in cash. This means that over $600.00 remains to be paid within the next sixty days. Let the manhood of the community give a good account of themselves on this score. Don't suffer the Association to spend great blocks of time and half the money, collecting these pledges. The boyhood of the community deserves our very best. WATER STREET BRANCH Y. M. C. A. Puts over a most successful Cam- Puts over a most successful Campaign. "300 Members In Three Days," was their slogan. The success of the membership Campaign is but indicative of what may be accomplished thro' a united effort and team work, on the part of the manhood of the community. Time, after time, during the campaign the remark was made: "Never before have the men of the community gotten behind a project in such a united way. The Campaign was directed by R. B. DeFrantz, Secretary, National Council. Y. M. C. A., New York. As a native son of Kansas, having been born and reared at Topola, DeFrantz expressed great satisfaction in putting over such a successful Campaign in his native State. He was loud in his praise of the Wichita men, and the work being done by the local Association. Division "A" under the chairmanship of Rev. C. E. Brooks led both in the number of members and amount cash with applications. Team 3 Wm. "Billy" Mitchell, Captain received the cup offered for largest amount of cash; while Team 4. Dr. P. M. Bell, Captain, took the one offered for the largest numbers. The following were the High Point men of the Campaign and won degrees in the "Order of the Spitzer institution Stars:" B. W. Crawford, F. C. West, and J. T. Chinneth qualified for the Red Degree, by securing ten members or $20.00. J. C. Cowan won the Silver degree for fifteen members or $25.00. The highest honor, or Gold Degree was won by B. H. Neely, Wm. "Billy" Mitchell, Edw. Sexton, H. G. Duke, and Dr. P. M. Bell. B. H. Neely was High Point fan, securing the largest number of members. Division "B" was led by H. T. Sims. They got off to a bad start, due to his absence from the city, However, B. W. Crawford, Prof. West and J. T. Chinneth gave good accounts of themselves. Dr. Brulcy, captain on one of of the teams was busily engaged serving the suppers and thus is doing a fine post campaign job, seeing the men not reached in the regular effort. Mr. Walton' team got a late start, but did some fine work. Mr. DeFrantz was impressed with the leadership of G. L. Scott, Campaign Chairman, and the splendid office assistance of Miss Clara Neal, Office Secretary of the "Y." He also spoke of the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Chinneth, Dr. and Mrs. Bell, and others who helped make his stay pleasant. Nicodemus News. Sunday March 21, was well spent in service for Jesus. Sunday School on time, teachers and pastor in place. Service on time and good attendance; Opening song led by Sister M. E. Thomas and others. The pastor, after some very helpful remarks about the Board meeting, preached from the following text, Heb. 10.23; "Let us hold fast to the profession of our faith without wavering for he is faithful that promised." Subject: "A Safe and Sound Policy." Many great things were drawn from this subject:—1st, Valuable and unavoidable Policies; 2nd, The Christian Warfare; 3rd, Watchfulness fortifies the Church Against the Enemy. The faithfulness of Him who promised.... God's promise is sure. The people of Nicodemus, is looking forward to the greatest day in the history of the church on the 1st Sunday, April 4th, which marks the TOPEKA, KANS.-The Baptist State Convention Board meeting met at Antioch Baptist Church, Rev. A. L. Bianch, Pastor, March 17-18, 1920. Opened with the Pastors' Conference, Rev. A. W. Koss, the executive secretary, presiding. The up-to-date subjects were well discussed, made the meeting worthy. Revs. W. A. Bowren, W. H. Young and M. A. Waters were the special speakers. The workers' Conference brought out many valuable points for the cooperation of the State work with the Convention. A report was adopted that the Convention co-operate with the Constitution and be held for $1.25 per member and that each church will hold each auxiliary for one-fifth of the amount; one-half of the one-fifth comes directly to the State Convention, and one-half goes to the District Convention to take care of District expenses, and the remainder comes to the State Work. The church proper will raise two-fifths, and one-half comes to the State Convention and one-half to the District to take care of District expenses and then the remainder to the State Work. Each church is asked to figure out its pro-rata and apportion it to each auxiliary at once so they can get busy. The devotional periods were used wonderfully in interpreting the scriptures by Revs. O. B. Ware, G. T. Ralmey, S. Montgomery, A. L. Gardner, L. V. Bolton. The outstanding features of the Convention Board were the sermons by Revs. B. H. Allen, C. P. Morrow, J. W. Johnson and H. B. Bronson; the addresses from Dean H. Mitchell, Prof. E. E. Weaver and the report from the Executive Secretary, A. W. Ross, and the words of commendation from Dr. J. T. Crawford, the Executive Secretary for the White Baptist State Convention, Atty. S. P. Harris, represented the Sunday School Publishing Board and organized the State for the Publishing House Drive: Dr. H. B. Bronson is State Director and Mrs. Emma Gaines is Assistant Directress and each president of auxiliaries and moderators of District Associations are generals; and you are asked to at once, prepare to put Kansas over in grand style.

MINISTERS PRESENT PLEA TOPRES.COOLIDGE (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C. Mar. 26- Measures to stop lynching and for enforcement of all portions of the Constitution were requested of President Coolidge by a delegation of ministers representing the National Ministerial Alliance, composed of all the Negro denominations of the country. Mr. Coolidge agreed to examine a memorial leaf for his attention. The delegation told the President that depriving Negroes of the franchise in the Southern States and elimination of the race as a political unit has been injurious to the entire country because it has bred disrespect for the Constitution. "We suffer, being deprived of our political blithtright," said the memorial. "The American people suffer more in becoming a party to the great injustice and in treating their Constitution as a meaningless, worthless thing. Thus it appears that this nation has been sowing injustice and wrong for five unbroken decades and today we are reaping a whirlwind of contempt for the Constitution and out-laws are rising among all the classes of the body politic. "Our people, in parts of this country, when accused of crime, are too frequently denied that right of every American citizen—trial by due process of law, the safety of one who is uncondemned, until he is legally convicted, to be punished according to the law, by officers of the law, and not murdered by infuriated mobs." FRIENDLY LETTER DETROIT, MICHIGAN, March 1, Dear Bro. Sims: I am sorry that I can not meet this Board as I had planned. I will be in the State a little later; please make statement to the workers as such; and that my many friends may know my whereabouts, say that I am for a time located at 2733 Mullett St. Tell me something of the work and the work and the workers. I hope to see you in June, if not before. NEGRO FARMERS EXCLUDED (Columbian Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, D. C. March 19 Until recently the Negro farmers of the South have been greatly hampered in securing funds to meet their demands, because they have been unable to secure the advantages accruing from the Farm Loan System, writes Dr. W. S. Scarborough, in the February number of "Opportunity." "They have," he asserts, "for the most part, been unable to get their applications properly considered, and this is still true in a large portion of the South. The difficulties in the way are many and hard to overcome. In a few instances it has been due to the mode of procedure but in a majority of cases, to the prejudices of the section in which they live. "The trouble is with the local Farm Loan Associations, which exclude the Negro from membership, thus making it impossible for him to get recognition. Because of this discrimination the black farmer has suffered greatly in many instances and has lost valuable property." All alike, felt the shock of the grim reaper death, when it took from Dr. J. F. Wilson, who was here a short while and had begun such a great work. He was not only a doctor, but a race adviser. We can only be submissive to His will. Mr. Joe Griffin who was murdered by Crull White, near Oakley, was buried in Mt. Olive Cemetery. Farmers are looking forward to a great wheat harvest this year. OPEN LETTER, CITIZENS WICHITA, KANSAS. The is again approaching for National Negro Health Week. April 4-11, having been chosen for this year, 1926. Through the United effort of News, papers, Churches, Schools, a collection of Clubs, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Physicians and the Public Health Nurses, Wichita was awarded third prize last year (Baltimore, received first prize and Lodswits, second.) We are hoping that this year, Wichita, may do even better than in 1925. It has been suggested that we give a Health Pageant out of of doors in McKinley Park., Saturday p.m., April 10th, each Church and School taking some part in it; as well as groups from the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Boy Scouts and the Children's Home. A Mass meeting will be called at some convenient place and time in the near future. We are counting again this year, upon your interest and co-operation in this movement. Very sincerely yours, Wichita Public Health Nursing Asso. THE WHIP'S INDICTMENT FIZZLE (B of S, C, P.) LOS ANGELES, CALIF., Mar. 5- The report of the Chicago, Whip, and the news item carried by a number of Negro papers that Chandler Owen, Editor of the Chicago Bee, and A. Philip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, have been arrested, is absolutely untrue. This is nothing more than some cheap, cowardly Pullman propaganda, engineered through its agent, the Whip, in order to injure, if possible, the movement to organize the Pullman porters. But it will fool nobody. The porters are laughing at it. The Whip is desperately trying to make a publicity bluff stunt do duty for its failure to produce arguments and facts in answer to the devastating a and smashing expose which Chandler Owen has been making in a series of articles entitled, "Neglected Truth." In the Messenger Magazine. ATTENTION! All moneys of the Southwestern District Association must be forwarded to Rev B. L. Marchant, 109 Waba h Avenue, Wichita, Kansas, recently elected General Secretary, in the place of Rev. I. H. Fisher. REV. J. W. HAYES, Mod.

Sampson Brooks who gave an inspiring message on his work in Africa. Bishop Brooks admonished the students not to think solely of Africa as their fatherland, but rather as representing the abode of the many unfortunate of our group. He said that "it is the duty of every Negro Boy and girl receiving higher education to remember his unfortunate brother in the dark continent, especially the fifty million or more women, who are slaves under the system of polygamy." The Bishop showed genuine interest in his field of work and a sincere desire to impress us with the great need in Africa.

Iowa St. Olathe, Kansas. 心 IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FITZWATER, DIP, Dear of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (© 1936, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for March 28 REVIEW—THE GOSPEL OF JOHN REVIEW—The Gospel of John RIVIEW—The gospels of John GOLDEN TEXT—These are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in His name. —John 20:21. PRIMARY TOPIC—Beautiful Stories Told by John JUNIOR TOPIC—The Greatest Things in Johns Gospel INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Great Scenes in Johns Gospel YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Great Teachings of Johns Gospel Happily we have come to one time at least when the quarterly review is easy and a pleasure. The teacher's supreme aim should be to make Jesus as real to his pupils as he was to the disciples when here upon earth, for the "Word made flesh" is now dwelling among us "full of grace and truth" revealing God (John 1:14, 19). The best way to reveal the quarter's lessons will be to grasp the central purpose of John in writing his book, gather the central teaching of each separate lesson and use it in proving the central proposition. John clearly states his purpose in 20:31. Two things are set forth in this verse. 1. That Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. 2. That through believing in Him eternal life is received. It should be the teacher's aim to establish this truth and to accomplish this glorious purpose in the lives of all his pupils. January 3—In this lesson Jesus is presented as the eternal Word existing with God before all worlds, the almighty Creator, the source of light and life, made flesh in order to reveal God to man. January 10—John the Baptist testifies that Jesus is the Lamb of God. This truth was certified unto him by a voice from heaven and the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Him (Matt 3:10, 17). Andrew, Philip and Naithanel corroborate John's testimony by declaring that Jesus is the Messiah of whom Moses and the prophets did write—the very Son of God. January 17. Jesus is the bestower of eternal life. He is the only be gotten Son of the Father, who gives eternal life to those who believe on Him. Since God alone can give life, Jesus is divine. January 24. Jesus testifies to the Samaritan woman that He is the Messiah. His ability to disclose the secrets of the woman's heart and life convinces her that He is divine. January 31. The creative act by which five thousand men, besides women and children, were fed from a few small leaves and fishes, with a superabundance left over, demonstrates the delity of Jesus. February 7. Jesus is divine, because He opened the eyes of the man born blind. No unusual was this miracle that such a thing was never heard of "since the world began." The man whose eyes were opened, confessed Jesus and worshiped him as the Son of God. February 14. Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, because He is the Good Shepherd. In the Old Testament, Jehovah is set forth as the True Shepherd (Ps. 21, Ezek. 34). The true shepherd devotes his life to the welfare of his sheep, even to the extent of laying down his life for them. This Jesus did, therefore he is the promised Messiah. February 21.—Jesus is divine because at His command Lazius, a man dead four days was raised to life. February 28.—Undivided love to God is man's supreme obligation. The Second Commandment is like unto the First, in that it centers in love. March 7.—Jesus is divine, because He came from God and went to God (John 13:3). Though Jesus heldly claimed to be the Lord, yet He stopped to render the most menial service to His disciples. March 14.—Jesus claimed equality with God and therefore and His disciples to place their faith in Him as the divine being, just the same as in God. March 21—Jesus proved his delity by coming forth from the grave. This is the unquestioned seal of His delt Water of Life If ye know what He is preparing for you ye would be too glad He will not, it may be, give you a full drought till ye come up to the well hand and drink, ye, drink abundantly of the pure river of the water of life that proceedeth out from the throne of God and from the Lamb.—Samuel Rutherford. Moody on Enthusiasm Enthusiasm means "in God"; and I can't understand how any man can realize his standing before God and not be on fire 365 days in the year. Any man who goes into business and doesn't throw his heart into it doesn't succeed. Now, why not go into the Lord's work as earnestly as into athletics—D L. Moody. The purpose of prayer is to get God's will done.—S. D. Gordon. chanute Notes. Mr. Maison seems to be very much improved. Bro. Berry is ill at this time. Sister Geo. Hubbard is indisposed. Mrs. E.

She was Treasurer of the Sunday School and of Ladies Church Aid; at one time, she was President of the Mission Circle, a member of the Courts of Calanthes and loyal in all Sister M. G. Glover accompanied the body to Ottawa, Saturday evening, after funeral services held here by lodge. Five cars motored to Ottawa, Sunday morning in a body to pay last respect to one so worthy.

Any game of chance is gambling, so when one puts of the salvation of his or her soul to a latter date, has taken a game or chance with the devil. 3. The devil is a professional gambler. There is but one way to beat him and that is by not playing the game of procrastination with him. 4. Jesus has the same commanding view play the game of chance with the devil that He had over those who gambled for the garment of Jesus.

Luke 2:44; Text: "The Danger In Supposition." Pointing out the danger to suppose Christ is in the Church because of the eloquence of the minister, the many people or the great amount of excitement, the beautiful singing, the solemn or seriousness of the people or the intelligence; The danger to suppose Christ is with us because we are a church of members of long standing and have been baptized and can pray good prayers and able to suit the fancy of the people, and because we can sing and speak with tongues of angels, for there is a possibility to do all and be all these and more without God being with us. A vivid picture stamped in our minds shall not be forgotten, soon, for some things we should know. It a man is in Christ, he is made anew, and old things have passed away and we begin walking in the newness of life. Be sure we know that we are born of God.

CORRECTIONS In our last week's issue we said that the ones arrested in the Elk's Hall were leaders, we were asked by the Secretary to correct this statement; we also said that they paid over $100, this should have been: they were fined over $100, but took an appeal. We are not trying to condemn anyone, we simply want to speak the truth and advise for better. Everybody is our friend, but sometimes our friends do wrong, then we say: friend, thou art wrong." Sometimes we do wrong and we want someone to tell us that we are wrong. But, Christians, you are kidding yourselves when you think you can link up with evil and not be stained. Whoever the other officers were that did the arresting, Mr. Roy Ballance gets all the credit by our race. WE are sorrowful over the fact that the home of one of our strong young men was visited by the officers and 14 arrested for gambling, right in the most popular part of the city. This home has a very promising looking young son and a fine wife, and should be a God-fearing home, that the son might be greater than his parents, for the next generation must go forward on the feet of the children. Think of the Lord's Day being used by the hope of our race to gamble and drink, and spend their lives in foolishness that will end in death and destruction. How much would the race accomplish if these 14 young men had been studying God's Word and laying plans for the future success of this government. We still pray that they will be clothed in their right minds and look on higher things. THE sense of appreciation is certainly dead in some people; they say whatever they think, to anybody without weighing their words or caring how bad they hurt; they want all and give nothing; they "nag" everyone who comes in their presence and they think the world would be much better off, if it were bowed down at their feet. We thank God that every person must reap what they sow and their class will be heard some day and they will be rated according to the mercy found in their own hearts. ALL eyes are turned on Birmingham, Ala., as it holds out for segregation in the International Sunday School Conference against God's dark skinned children, but all have the same Father. He said:—"How lovely and pleasant for brothers to dwell together in unity," but our white brethren thinks it is a disgrace; they will have to explain this to our Father when they meet Him face to face. We can't understand how the under-world can get together. Christ prayed that, we might be one. We are trying so hard to be seperate. Christ's mind does not work in seperations, but draws upward and together. The Christian family is on trial before the world, to see if it is worth while to be a Christian or wouldn't you get along just as well without it; if there is not enough love in it to make you treat your brother rightly, there certainly is not enough in it to draw others into the kingdom. The world wants working and practical religion that will make men love each other and have confidence in each other. We dare any man to fill his heart with love for God, as it means safety for all and they would meet in Birmingham or anywhere on earth and bless each others' lives. CITY ITEMS. Rev. J. E.
