THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.19, No.3 The Young People's Congress at the Brooklyn Meeting The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, which will be held in Brooklyn, N. J., June 20th, 1911, will be attended by a larger number of representatives from Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. U. Societies and other auxiliary organizations in the largest churches than have ever attended any previous session of this great body. A great many people are anxious to visit New York City, and to take observation of the splendid historic scenes of which they have read so often. A great many others desire to stop or at the Sequim-Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. These manifold attractions are the guarantee of a large delegation to the Congress. New York People Expectant We have not held a national gathering as far East as New York City since the National Baptist Convention met in Boston, Mass., in 1897. Because of that our brethren and friends in that section are very much delighted with the thought that we are going to hold the Congress in their midst. The whole of New York State and the greater portion of the New England and Eastern sections are planning to represent their Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. U. Societies, and contribute in every conceivable manner to the success of the Congress movement. Reduced Railroad Rates. The officials of all the railroads throughout the country have granted a reduced rate of One-Half Fares for the Round-Trip on the Identification Certificate Plan. These Certificates must be secured from the Congress headquarters and presented to the local ticket agent at the time tickets are purchased. Parties failing to procure and exhibit such Identification Certificates will be required to pay full fare both ways. Messengers are hereby instructed to order these Certificates within a reasonable length of time preceding the days on which tickets will be on sale. Work Of The Congress. The Congress faculty is composed of some of the best educated men and women in the country, who are also experts in their line of work. In addition, therefore, to the splendid work that will be done by them as teachers, opportunities will be given to messengers to apply the methods furnished them by these experts. Every phase of the work among Baptist young people will be discussed. Splendid attention will be given to the intellectual pursuits and cultural processes in which we are engaged. Hospitalitics Extended. The Baptist of New York City and State have given assurance that everything possible will be done for the convenience and comfort of the Congress messengers. There will be splendid outings, pleasing attractions and entertainment on a large and varied scale. This is an opportunity to visit the largest city on the continent, and to become acquainted with its people and its ways. Be sure to improve it! Address the Congress headquarters for any information desired. E. W. D. ISAAC, CHILDS-HARPER On April 14, the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. I. P. Porter, 1459 Sherwood, was the scene of one of the swellest affairs that has happened in Wichita for years, when cupid drew his cord of love tighter and tighter until he could tie a hard knot around the hearts of Mr. Nicholas Childs and Mrs. Henrietta Harper, where Dr. J. R. Ransom of Topeka, could, in the presence of their friends, declare them to be one. Mr. Winfield Burks and Mr. Ed. Triplet gave melody to the occasion with sweet solos, with Mrs. G. L. Scott at the plano. Mrs. F. O. Miller beautifully gowned as the matron of honor; Dr. F. O. Miller looking princely was best man. The bride and groom were looking their best. OBITUAKY ODELLA MOORE-LEWIS Odella Moore was born in Nicodemus, township, Granam County, Kansas, Jan. 31, 1839, died at St. Margaret Hospital, Kansas City, Kansas march 25, 1863 following an operation. She was the daughter of Humphrey Moore and Little Moore, now Bettle L. Lewis. In the year 1855, she was taken to Libera, Atrica b, her parents, in which country her father died, leaving Odella, her mother and two sisters. The family returned to Kansas in 1893 and she has lived here practically ever since. At the age of 16 years, while attending the school now known as Kansas Vocational College, she was converted and shortly thereafter united with Mt Olive Baptist Church. At all times since conversion, she has been a devout Christian, and lived the Life. On July 10, 1914, she was united in marriage to Frank E. Lewis, also of Gaham County, with whom she lived until the date of her death. She had been engaged in school work for about ten years and was recognized as an excellent teacher. She had not been well for some months, and was taken severely ill on August 8, and was taken to the hospital During her illness, she frequently expressed her faith in God and told her mother that she was not worrying about her future life. Those who have been associated with her can understand why she had no cause to worry. Her heart was right with God. She was an upwright Christian woman. She leaves a husband, mother, two sisters, a step-father and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her departure. RESOLUTIONS As it has pleased the Almighty God to remove from among us our dear Sister Odella Lewis, The Naomi Chapter No. 25 Order of Eastern Star, resolves itself into a committee of the whole and adopted the following resolutions, to-wit:— The heaviest moment which has come to our Chapter is that in which we now record the passing of our Dear, Dear Sister Odella Lewis, who was so unexpectedly called to the great beyond, March 28th, 1926. We can scarcely bring ourselves to believe the fact, and yet it is true, 'Tis a poor expression to say, "We deplore it, and that our hearts are bowed in sorrow;" and yet that is all that is left to us, in this extremely sad moment. We are pleased indeed to think of her "sterling worth" and we hereby extend to her bereaved family our sincere sympathy; and say to them, bear up and be strong in this your heavy hour; with the fullest assurance that this sad incident cannot be all; nor the end of such a worthy life. Be it Resolved that this up, resolution be spread on the minute of the lodge, one to the bereaved family and one to the county paper. Decorations, flowers, and the latest things of the season proved the interest of friends and the quality of the occasion. Valuable presents, that's many, faintly expressed how friends endorse this union. The most pleasant sight was to see Mrs. Porter at home from the hospital for a few hours, sitting in their midst to witness the occasion. It is the wishes of The Star that that couple may enjoy a long and happy life. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ABRIDGED BY LAW A most notable contest between the forces that are working for religious bondage and the advocates that are championing the cause of religious freedom is now raging in Congress over the drastic compulso- WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, April 23, 1926. THE CHURCH The true church (locally speaking) is a body of regenerated person baptised in the name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, united in love, co-operating together with God, reconciling the world unto the Father. The church is God in the world striving to establish His Kingdom in the hearts of men, the Father seeking to reproduce the life of Christ the life of man. It is the only institution through which God is working to produce this end. To realize this Divine purpose the church should have in its organization an efficient ministry. We mean by this a pastor, or a shepherd whose primary duty is to teach and preach the Gospel. Second, Deacons, or helpers, whose duties are to assist the minister in whatever way may be necessary. The qualifications of these officers are clearl given in the New Testament. If additional officers are needed such as Superintudents, Presidents, Teachers, etc, they should be equal in quality to the minister and Deacons, for if other helpers are needed at all certainly they should not be inferior to the New Testament standard. As to the minister and deacons, (possibly others as well) all things being equal, they should be married. However, a regenerated heart and a cultured, and sanctified brain, are far more important than matrimony. All church officials from the ministry down should be chosen after earnest prayer, certainly all Christians should be examples but most assuredly all leaders, waf' it is true, God is not depending upon a perfect instrument to propagate His Gospel it is nevertheless true that the perfect the instrument the more effective the endeavor. (To be continued.) John Wesley Hayes CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors for the sincere kindness shown and the gifts they presented in the sickness and death of our beloved mother, those who fur nished cars and the beautiful floral offering; Revs. Chas. Tcal, and Wm. Thomas, for their comforting words. Mr. Alfred Tyler Mrs. Anna Hull Mrs. S. S. Smith Mrs. D. H. Hill Mr. D. R. Tyler Mrs. Maggie Hiden ry Sunday observance bills which are aimed at the liberties of the people in the District of Columbia. From March 4th until the end of the month seven public hearings on these measures were held and at the conclusion of the seventh, Chairman McLeod, before whose committee these hearings were held announced that the date for the next session would be indefinite because of the bitterness, hatred and religious intolerance that were being engendered. A clergyman in favor of the measure and a moving picture promoter against them rushed at each other at the last hearing with clenched fists, and defiantly called each other a liar, so intense was the feeling manifested. For nearly one hundred and fifty years attempts have been made by certain religious organizations to induce Congress to enact compulsory Sunday observance measures and other religious enactments, but, so far, Congress has consistently and persistently refused on Constitutional grounds to yield to the demand of religious organizations, and there is not a single Sunday law on Federal Statute books today for the territory over which the national government holds furiousdiction. The enactment into law of sectarian customs and observances accepted and promulgated, by the majority of Christian believers is a part of the program to nationalize and establish the Christian religion by law. The District of Columbia Sunday law, they say, is to become a model for the whole nation. The effect of such legislation would be to EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR EDUCATION The Negro race has made much much progress since it has had a chance at education. The real key is of our race or any other lies in education. Next to the right to worship God there is no right that is more sacred than the right of every child to have an equal opportunity for an education. The Citizens' Committee, which is promoting the Municipal University project for Wichita, includes many of the outstanding leaders of our place here in Wichita. This committee is trying to secure for Wichita an institution which will offer to every boy and girl a chance for a college education. This committee expects that the Negroes will stand with them on the election day, which is Saturday of this week. If we vote "Yes" for the Municipal University, and through our vote the project carries, then all the properties of Fairmount College will be given to Wichita absolutely free of charge. Wichita will not have to pay a cent or it. No bonds will need to be issued. That whole institution up there on the hill will be turned over to the City of Wichita to be run by the Citizens of Wichita, just as the public schools are run. In that institution every colored boy and girl will have a chance to get a college education, just as they now have a chance to get a grade-school and high-school education sight here at home. If we want these opportunities for our sons and daughters, we must vote "Yes" on Saturday. If we vote "no," we will gain nothing. If we vote "yes," we will gain this great chance which will be a boon to every colored boy and girl in Wichita and all the surrounding territory... It is regrettable that many Colored people voted against this Municipal Universit, proposition last year. What did they gain? Nothing. This year it is going to take more than misrepresentation to get the people to vote against their birth-right. It can't be done. Our children must be educated, and we must provide the opportunity for their education. Much has been said about the cost of this institution. In the first place, all that Fairmount has comes to the City without any cost. To support the college there will be a small tax. That tax will be one dollar per year on each one thousand dollar of tax valuation. What is the assessed valuation of your home? The average home among us is assessed at about five hundred dollars. It is worth much more than that; but the tax valuation is only about three-fifths of the actual value. Therefore the average home-owner will have to pay about fifty cents a year for this great institution. That is what one mill on each one thousand dollars of assessed valuation means. Just fifty cents a year. And in return for this small tax, every one of us will have a chance to send our children through college. We must not fail to grasp this chance These are facts, the truths of which are guaranteed by the undersigned members of the Citizens Committee for the Municipal University. Dr. P. M. Bell Rev. B. L. Marchant Dr. Thos. G. Perry W. L. Hutcherson Mrs. Lula E. Hill, W. A. Bettis H. T. Sims. require all men to have one standard of religion, and the Federal government to define and enforce that standard. Differences of opinion if reduced to practice would be suppressed by law, and, the dissenter would be coerced under the penal codes. This in effect is the program of religious lobby at Washington. ELD, II. A. ROSSIN, Pastor, Seventh Day Adventist Ch. OBITUARY Cherryvale, Kunsas, April 15, 1926. Many years ago in a log cabin on the green hills of Kentucky in tae dark days of bondage, was born to Mr. and Mrs. John Tivis a daughter, Maimaa who was rocked in the cradle of slavery; she was born in the year 1442, unable occasion that Jesus laid down April 10th, Madison, County, Kentucky, where she grew to womanhood, she was married to John Tyler in 1853; then were born to them 13 children, 6 of whom and a husband have rora to open the way. She was conceived in the year of 1865 and lived a consisent Christian for 60 years and was baptized by Rev. Doopin at Frankfort, Kentucky. She wint her husband and family came to Kansas 45 years ago, living at Fort Scott, 16 years, moving to Oklahoma, where they lived 3 years, and moved to Cherryvale. She united with this church 11 years ago, Rev. Jordan, Pastor, and always attended regularly, seemingly always happy in the house of the Lord She lived a steadfast Christian life. On Monday morning at 7:30 a.m. April 12, death claimed her at the age of 84 years, 11 months, 8 days. Her favorite songs were: "I'll Live On," and "Why Do We Mourn Departed Friends?" She leaves to survive her 7 children: Mr. Grant Tyler, Omaha, Nebr. Mr. Alfred Tyler Coffeyville, Mr. Dan Tylier, Chicago, Ill. Mrs. D-H. Hill, Mrs. L. S. Smith, Cherryvale, Mrs. Maggie Hider, Merridan, Okla., 13 grand children and 21 great grand children and a host of friends to mourn her loss. A shadow rests uopon our home, We miss her smiling face. Wherein we look, wherever we turn, We find her vacant place. While on Earth she did her best, Her heart was truly kind; Her memory will be ever dear. To those she left behind. We love her well no tongue can tell, How much we loved her and so well God loved her too and tho't it best To take her to her home of rest. Tabernacle Baptist Rev. Wm. McIlveen, Pastor S. S. opened at 9:30. Sunt., Mrs. Dora Tipps and all teachers in there places on time. At the 11 o'clock Michel brought a brief message. The meeting was given over to the people for expressions as to the hope in them. It was a service for the old folks, who came from all parts of the City. Many testified, Dinner was served. At 8:00 o'clock, Pastor preached a spiritual sermon from the subject: "Forgiveness." After the sermon, one came forward and united with the church as a candidate for baptism. The Church was filled with the Holy Spirit all day. Missionary Society had a warm meeting, Monday at 3 p. m. Baptizing next Sunday 11:00 a. m. Salina, Kansas News. ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. M. T. Waters, Pastor. 9:45 a.m. Sunday School opened by Supt. Howard Browner. Teachers took charge of their respective classes. Banner class, Intermediate Division A. 11 60 a.m., the State Missionary, A. W. Ross was present and he conducted the services throughout the day, Scripture passages Matt. 16.24-28 and Luke 14.28. Subject for morning service: "Christ First." A few points were an follows; Christ must be first, Christ should be first and Christ will be first. He reaches within the enter-circle of our demands. Respect and love for mother, father, wife, husband, brothers and sisters. Parents should seek to put their children on the right in spiritual relation with God, and to do this, parents must put Christ first in their own lives. Some parents put their children before the church, especially in their dresses. It is better to have Christ than all the things of existence. Closing remarks. Why should Christ be first? Because He is a perfect example. He is a God-man full of love and mercy. 8:00 p. m., Rev. A. W. Ross preached a special sermon on Foreign Mission. Outline: 1. Women part in Kingdom building. 2. Praying for pastor and ministers. 3. Faith All present enjoyed this beautifully expressed sermon. 6 30 p. m., B. Y. P. U., was opened by vice president, Mrs. Five Cents Per Copy DR. D. W. CANNON FALLS ASLEEP IN JESUS At the appointed time the giant oaks fall and give place to the most prospective seedling; the sweet rose reaches its perfection and fades that another bay be admired and the bush cultivated and pruned that it will bring forth better, in other words God has intended that everything should at a given point reach its zenith then give away for the future of another. When we study the plans of God, we must confess that He knows best, and we will have to give up the best we know to get the best that God knows and holds in store. He has told us that if we hold the seed too dear to plant that it might die, that we will never get the blessing of its multiplication. We are trying to say: that this great giant, Dr. D. W. Cannon, has planted seed here and there throughout this country, as a Dean in the Moorehouse College, Superintendent of Religious Education of Georgia, as a Pastor and as the efficient president of the S. S. and B. Y. F. U. Congress of America, and his influence has thrown a long worthy light throughout the length and breadth of this country, now the Master thinks it is time to give some of the seedlings, planted by its great giant or some other great giant a chance to push its way into the lime-light of Kingdom usefulness, so He called our much loved and worthy Dr. Cannon to rest and wait his reward. Last Thursday, his body was sown in corruption, but it shall be raised in incorruption that it might be like Christ end fit citizen in the New Jerusalem. To the wife and daughter the following night letter expressed our sentiments: Wichita, Kans., Apr. 20, 26 Mrs. D. W. Cannon and Daughter; In this hour of sadness, accept these words of sympathy. The nine years of association with Dr. Cannon as his Secretary, have caused me to love him and to know his worth. God knows when best to gather the well ripened fruit for His Kingdom, so I pray that He will give you both strength to stand and see with the eye of faith the Hand of God leading his great soul into the Haven of Hope. The B. Y. P. Us., of Kansas join in the suffering sustained by his falling asleep, and pray the Father for a realization of the Comforter at this time. Signed: H. T. SIMS, Secretary of the S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Congress of America, and Congress of America, and President of the B. Y. P. U., State Convention. Howard Browner. Lesson conducted by Study Course Leader.

Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Lowe of Joplin, spent Sunday in the city visiting relatives and were visitors at Calvary. Mr. Solomon Masters was called to Muskogee, Okla., on account of illness of his wife. Mr. James Sanders of Mexico, Mr. Archie Saunders of Tulsa, were called to the city on account of the death of their brother, Walter Sanders, whose funeral was Monday. Mrs. Gertrude Dillard of Sand Springs., Okla., is also in the city attending the funeral of Mr. Sanders, her cousin. Calvary was at our last writing, closing our 60 days drive; but we are now in the midst of a gerat revival which we are praying will be the greatest soul saving meeting ever had in the history of the church. We were indeed blessed to have with us Rev. Paul I. Perkins the 13 year old boy, preacher and delivers his sermons with power and the hearts of the people are being sur red as never before with Rev. PerLus his mother and brother who are also unticing workers and all are singers, well worth hearing and are recommended to any church who want real Christian workers and pure Gospel preaching, and wokers out of the ordinary. Calvary Sunday revival was spiritual food for the soul. 6:19 o'clock sunrise prayer meeting led by the young women of the church 62 present, was truly a spiritual feast and our souls overflowed with His spirit. 9:45, Supt. E. II. Briley and teachers present; good attendance, splendida lesson and at this hour 10 children happily gave themselves to Jesus. 11 o'clock, Pastor Williams delivered a powerful sermon accompanied by the Holy Spirit and was indeed searching, text, "And I if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me."—1st thought, 'Hold up Jesus; 2nd, The Power of Christ has to draw. If you lift Him up in your lives, the world will know about Him and pointed out to us the many things that happened while going on the cross, but died victorious was the center of attraction, when lifted upon the cross. With Jesus dominating in our hearts, at all times, will draw men; and many other points too numerous to write. Christians are you lifting up Christ in your lives? 3 o'clock, Sister Perkins lectured to an appreciative audience. The lecture was indeed a sermon touching on the modern dress, bobbed hair and all the alleged evils of today. O for many such women spirit filled. The nail that Sister Perkins asked each one to bring, was brought forward as a pledge to lay aside sin and build up the standard of Christianity. At 8 o'clock, Rev. Perkins, 13 year old boy, preacher, delivered a burning message. Calvary was packed to its utmost capacity and many standing. Text: "The pale horse and its rider." Rev. 6.8. Death is riding everywhere and no one knows when he or she will be called. So therefore, prepare to meet thy God. All down the ages death has been riding. The picture painted of the death of Christ and by a child was indeed very touching. 36 came forward for prayer; there me 20 candidates for baptism and 11 accessions Sunday. Collection $10593. Truly God is with us. The Perkins Trio is well worth hearing, singing out of their souls, glorifying God in song. The Sacrificial Bible study Period Saturday from 3 to 4 o'clock in connection with afternoon player services; afternoon services conducted by Sister Perkin and truly she is a soul seeker, and the meeting are curious showers—food for the soul.

Y., April 16—Mrs. Annette Robinson rested comfortably in Holy Family Hospital, Dean Street, Brooklyn, Thursday with a pint of a white man's blood in her veins. She lived probably only because Hairy Huughes, and ambulance driver, volunteered for a transfusion after some of her friends had refused. Mrs Annette Robinson, thirty-eight, was taken to the hospital, Tuesday, bleeding from her cars, mouth, nostrils and internally. Her blood would not coagulate. Relatives and friends were informed that an immediate blood transfusion was necessary. Volunteers among the hospital staff were asked for. Several came forward. Among them was Harry Hughes, who is an ambulance driver is accustomed to assisting in saving lives of persons without inquiring what is their station in life or their color. His blood was found to be best constituted to succor Mrs. Robinson. Another driver went to relieve him and he was rushed to the women's ward. Dr. Joseph Lionello and Anthony Pirondino, assisted by Dr. Bernard Botheb, performed the operation. They said later they could recall no previous instance of such a blood transfusion. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when Hughes was wheeled from the women's ward. Shortly afterward he walked out of the hospital and Mrs. Robinson was declared out of danger. After dinner Hughes again took the wheel of his ambulance. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15—Gasping cries of Edgar Kennedy, 4 years old, forestalled the peril of gas asphyxiation for nine occupants of the home of his father, James Kennedy, of 1616 Englath Street, early Thursday morning. Five occupants were affected by the gas, and three were found in an unconscious condition when the father rose dazedly and threw open windows after being awakened by the distressed gasps of the child. A leak in the gas pipe leading to a jet in the basement kitchen of the home is held responsible by the family. The father, Estella, his wife; Mrs. Minnie Pluckett, sister of the wife; Ed Fuller, their brother; four children and a visitor-were sleeping in the house while the gas was flooding the rooms. Mrs. Kennedy stated. Edgar, the child, was in a serious condition when Dr. W. II. Greene arrived on the scene in response to an emergency call. Artificial respiration was resorted to, after the child was apparently dead, and he responded to the efforts. Meanwhile Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Pickett had become unconscious. They with Edgar, were taken to Freedman's Hospital in Dr. Greene's automobile, where they were treated and allowed to return home. All others, except the visitor, who was not affected, were given first aid treatment. They recovered. Cherryvale News Notes. S. S., 9:45 opened by Supt. Lesson studied, taughtgy Rev. J. S.

ONE of the finest suggestion came to us this week, that has been ours to witness since we have been in Wichita. We endorsed it because we feel that the man is worthy and has spent restless nights, while we slumbered, to find the best points of character for the high elements of the races, and at this time, he can put his finger on the personnels of the best Christians with the biggest hearts and fairest minds that the city affords. Walter L. Hutcherson has stood for a thorough knowledge of the races of each other and for the assimilation of Christian influences in any way that it can be promulgated, believing that if people really know each other, they will love each other. He has kept that battle on until now he has been recognized as an outstanding character throughout the country, and one of the finest spirits of Good-Will exists between all races. He deserves the Harmon Foundation Gold Medal and $500 00 awards that is given "any person of American residence, white or colored, who has made an outstanding contribution toward improving the relation between the White and Negro people in America." We urge that every person, throughout the country write at once your approval of such awards. CITY ITEMS. Mrs. M. L.
