Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE The good people at Russell, Kansas, May 4, 5, and 6, proved their worth to the Kingdom and its workers by the way they took care of the every want. We have never seen a few families (seven) do more and be more harmonious than these people. The white people co-operated with them and we were furnished a dining room right over the post office. The banker and his wife, and other rich whites, visited our meetings and seemingly, enjoyed themselves. Mod. G. T. Raimcy called the meeting to order on the evening of the 8th with song services; Bro. H. T. Sims took charge of the devotional theme and Rev. J. W. Johnson preached a strong practical sermon in the absence of Rev. Jas. Moore. Rev. M. T. Waters, Miss Alice Brown and Mrs. O. E. Jackson proved their value to the song services at each session. Bro. H. T. Sims tried to impress the thought of church politics, democracy and co-operation throughout the meeting. Rev. A. G. Mason conducted the Ministers and Deacon's Union and gave us a great session. Rev. Nelson Sowell conducted the Bible Institute and Rev. W. F. Warder preached the sermon to the delight of all the hearers. Mrs. Etta Morris was absent, but the Children's Band session went on just the same, and many helpful things were brought out in the discussions and paper by Mrs. Sarah E. McKay. Rev. A. G. Mason preached the sermon. Wednesday evening, Mrs. O. E. Jackson, president of the Sunday School department. Beatrice Cooksey extended the welcome address in a most pleasing manner and Miss Alice Brown of Ellis, with well chosen words responded. Rev. J. W. Johnson, Abilene, preached another great practical sermon. President, O. W. Gary was not present but his session went on just the same. Bro. H. T. Sims spoke on the duties of the church and officers of a B. Y. P. U., and how they should play the game to get the results. Mrs. Virgie Williams read a splendid paper on the Relation of a B. Y. P. U., to a Church and its Manner of Functioning. Rev. A. G. Mason preached us a better sermon in the place of Rev. J. W. Northernton, than he did when he preached his own. Mrs. M. D. Jones was absent but her session went right on as usual with the Moderator presiding as usual. The special features were the wonderful paper on "Love" by Mrs. Essie D. Bryant of Salina, and the great sermon by Rev. M. T. Waters of Salina. The paper became a Topic of expression and many helpful thoughts were advanced. Mrs. M. D. Jones expressed her interest in a letter and $5.00. The Board proper took Thursday evening session with Moderator Stanley in the chair and finished the business. Rev. A. W. Ross preached the closing sermon to the delight of audience. Thus passed into history a very helpful meeting. The good citizens gave us a farewell reception after the meeting. All praise throughout to Russell, for its loyal members. A CALL TO DUTY. The Missionary Baptist State Conventional Workers of Kansas—Dear Co-Workers in Christ, GREETINGS:— The precious moments of time are passing rapidly in succession; likewise the precious days weeks, months and years are swiftly gliding by, each fraught with golden opportunity for service in our Master's Cause. I am wondering if we fully appreciate them as they come to us at the hands of gracious providence—If so, then in the poetical strains of Long-ellow:— Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for ever fate; Still achieving, still pursuing. SUNDAY SCHOOL AND B.Y.P.U. CONGRESS Advice has been received at the Congress headquarters that the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress will be held in the Rink Auditorium, situated near Chairmont Ave. one block from the Concord Baptist Ch. We are also advised that the entire Brotherhood of New York City is planning to give messengers and visitors a most magnificent reception. The whole of the Eastern section has been intensely interested in the Congress and determined to have the fullest representation therein. It seems that this will be the largest delegation that has ever attended the Congress. Hundreds of our messengers who have never seen New York City and its magnificent sights will take advantage of this opportunity to do so. The Sesqui-Centennial in Philadelphia, is another inducement to many of our people. In view of the prospects of a large delegation, all persons desiring accommodations are instructed to send their names to Rev. Jas. B. Adams, 170 Halsey St., Brooklyn, N. Y., or the person who may be designated by him as Chairman of the Entertainment Committee. All railroad systems leading into Brooklyn have granted a reduced rate of ONE and ONE-HALF FARES for the round-trip Upon presentation of the IDENTIFICATION CERTIFICATE, which will be furnished from this office, all messengers will be enabled to purchase a round trip ticket from their home office. Unless these CERTIFICATES are presented to the LOCAL TICKET AGENT, it will be impossible to secure these round trip tickets. Messengers and visitors are urged to comply with this request as soon as possible. Learn to labor and to wait." Our program is manifold, exacting and tremendous, but God with us to direct and bless, we can put it over. Let no selfish interest enter our purpose of service, no criticism daunt our courage and no opposition stop our steady march to the goal of our Christ inspired arduities, for the stone that seems to be a barrier to our success, God will have Ilis strong arm angel roll away, by the time we reach the point of each grave duty that confronts us in our line of duty. The season of District and Stats Meetings is dawning upon us, with the urge of the Western Baptist Convention, the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, and the National Baptist Convention Work—each and all a binding feature of the Kingdom Work of Christ. The records of the above Conventions will show that Kansas Baptists and their leaders have always given them support spiritually and financially; and in this respect, I am sure we shall not fall this Conventional Year. Naturally, our State's Kingdom Work must receive first consideration. Our Mission Stations, Seminary Work, Summer School and Educational Work in general must be taken care of by our churches, districts and state meetings. Granting that some may be somewhat confused as to requirements of the State Convention, never-the-less, let every pastor and church, moderator and association, president and convention in the grand old State, Kansas, knowing as they do, the urgent needs of the field in our State, do their very best to raise and turn in more money this year than ever before in the history of our Convention to help put over our State, Western and National program. With appreciation for prayer and honors bestowed, and with best wishes and prayer for your comfort and continued success in your personal and/official spheres, I want to say—that by God's Grace Divine, more abundantly abounding, I am the pastor of the First Baptist and your humble servant. W. A. BOWREN. NEGRO SAVES LIFE OF A WHITE CHILD (Preston News Service) TUSKEGEE, ALA., May 12—The forthought of Jim Robinson, probably saved this life of little Betty Bishop, one year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. O. Bishop, of this city, who was found partly submerged in a barrel of water near the family residence Monday. It is thought the child climbed upon the barrel and fell into the water. Robinson revived the little girl before physicians arrived. The rescuer said that his attention was attracted by two small feet protruding from the barrel. Sunday School & B. Y. P. U. Conventions Change Place. From causes that we are not able to explain, we think it best to change the meeting place of the State Sunday School Conventions from Atchison, to Topeka, June 15-18, 1926; to be held with Calvary Baptist Church, Rev. W. H. Young, Pastor. Don't let this discourage you, but elect your messengers at once and prepare to come to Topeka, and help put over the greatest program in the history of the young Baptist of Kansas. Signed: H. T.

Wright, 1016 Morton St., cre of the citizens of cur city. She was born in Pickens, Maa, and came to Great Bend, Kansas, 12 years ago, where she proved herself as a real Christian and demanded respect of both white and black. She was a member of the 1st Baptist Ch., where her funeral was very largely attended. The church was filled to its full capacity. More than fifty whites were present. Her record was that she found no fault of anyone, but always found something nice to say about everybody. Love and patience constituted her second nature. We can only bow in submission to the Father who knows when to harvest His best fruit. Odell Stone Gray Is True Artist, Recital At Roosevelt Proves Had even a small portion of Wichita's music lovers known of the beauty of Mts. Odell Stone Gray's voice, Roosevelt auditorium would have been filled last night for her recital. Mrs. Gray is a coloratura soprano who, in addition to being exceptionally gifted, is a true artist. The first group of songs, Mozart's "Vol che sapete" and Handel's "Oh Had I Jubal's Lyre" was beautiful and gave promise of the enjoyment to be derived from the remainder of the program. "Sing, Slumber, Smile," by Gounod brought out the pure, clear quality of Mrs. Gray's voice. Harris' "Hills of Skye" had sentiment and pathos. "Has Sorrow Thy Young Days Shaded," (Hughes) has been sung by Mrs. Gray previously before Wichita audiences, but never so simply and beau tifully. A. L.'s "When Myra sings," completed this group, which was so enthusiastically received Mrs. Gray was compelled to give an encore. Verdi's well known "Caro Nome" from Rigoletto was the high point of the recital, with its sustained passages. Mrs. Gray sang the difficult number easily and thrillingly. La Forge's "Come unto These Yellow Sands"; Strauss' "Serenade"; "I Drink the Fragrance of the Rose," Clough-Leighter) and Hageman's "At the Well," composing the next group, demonstrated Mrs. Gray's versatility. Her phrasing and diction were at all times excellent, and the intelligence of her interpretations unusual. Again she gave an encore. In the group of songs of her own race, "swing Low," "All God's Chillun Got Shoes" "Dldn't It Rain" and "Deep River", the sweetness of her voice was especially noticeable. "Lo, Here the Gentle Lark" (Bishop), the closing number, was sung so beautifully the audience preferred to have it end the program. George Tack played an exquisite flute obligato. Mrs. Gray sang the entire program with no rest, and at no time showed strain. The program was varied, but all of it superior. Mrs. J. C. Newman accompanied the whole program, with the sympathy and artistry for which she is noted, and a graciousness that was charming. Her playing was unusual, even for her, and was an important part of the success of the recital Mrs. Newman has been particularly interested in Mrs. Gray's voice.-The Eagle.

HAYES (Continued from a previous issue) In a previous issue, we have said a word about the church; we come now to consider its chief officer. The Minister and Pastor There is no higher calling than the call to be a minister of Jesus Christ. The man who is honored with this sacred trust, should be faithful to the trust imposed, and magnify the office committed to his hands. Paul delighted to magnify his office, by crucifying himself. As the life of self dies daily, the life of God becomes more abundant, and thus the instrument of the Gospel becomes more effective. Possibly the admonition given by Paul, (Acts 20:28) is the most signa for the ministers inventory of himself, which is indispensible to the highest efficiency; while the ministers should not be better than other men should be, but he should be better than other men are. This is very evident when we remember that God not only has but one standard, but could not have more than one, because His standard of righteousness is perfect, and there could not be another. The efficient and effective ministers, therefore, is to hold up the perfect ideal, which is Christ, and lead men to Him. He is to set Jehovah always before him, keeping in mind that he (the minister) is not the ideal's representative. His daily cry should be, "Behold the Lamb of God." Most assuredly he must demonstrate by his life that he is looking at the God whom he seeks to make known to the world. We can only show to others the God whom we see, whether it is the God of self, or the God of good. In the passage cited, the preacher is commanded to take an invoice of self. This is the first duty and task. The word of God is his rule. The Son of God his standard, and the Spirit "of God the guilding agent Through these agencies he becomes a true ambassador of God. The minister is in grave danger of forgetting his own needs; or it may be, the danger is in allowing himself to be ignorant of his needs. The reasons for this are perhaps, the complete absorption in the interest of others, (this reason has an element of virtue, it is self denying.) Secondly, he may be absorbed in his wants rather than his needs. Heaven promised to supply our needs. Whatever the cause of this neglecting of self that unfits for the best, be ye admonished by the Apostle's advice, "Take heed to yourselves." Remember we are mortal. As a human being, there are human needs, food, water, clothing, shelter, rest. The ruling passion for supplying these needs should be that we might be efficient for our Lord's work. The passage by Paul, "Take Heed," etc does not contradict the passage by our Lord "Take no thought." They are holding forth different ideas. Christ is speaking against selfishness, Self-centered interest, which detracts our thought from God and others, and unfits us for service. While Paul is teaching that we be not unfit, by neglecting to keep our bodies, minds, and souls, perfectly well for the most effective use in the office of our high calling. It is true that bone and muscle do not make men; they are however, a Five Cents Per Copy BAPTIST WORKERS IN SESSION The Christian Workers of Southwestern District is in session at the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Ch. corner N.

The Public in invited. A GREAT SERVICE IN HELENA, ARKANSAS The writer had the pleasure of visiting Helena, for the purpose of conducting a Gospel Campaign with the First Baptist Church of which Elder A. M. Samuels is Pastor. I arrived on the 11th of April 7:30 p.m., met Dr. Samuels and Bro. Dupree at the depot, waiting to receive me. We hastened to the church and found a large, anxious audience, engaged in prayer and praise service, while awaiting my arrival; besides, there were several of the leading city pastors sitting on the platform to extend to me their cordial greeting. Dr. Samuels had his forces well organized, and had enlisted the sympathy and co-operation of the Pastors of the city. After an elaborate introduction by the pastor, we proceeded to deliver our first sermon, which was well received by the audience. From this time on for 2 weeks and 2 days, we bombarded the citadel of satam. The result of which was about 50 conversions, 70 additions in all; $450, and upward raised for all purposes; and of that amount $151.76 donated to the writer for service rendered. Dr. Drew, Pastor of Centennial Baptist Church, and Dr. Shadd of the 1st Baptist Church, West Helena, and other leading pastors, rendered indeed very hearty co-operation during the meeting, both financially and spiritually. The pastor and wife and people were indeed very kind and hospitable to me. The white people were indeed very friendly and kind to us. I've never enjoyed a trip better anywhere. Dr. Samuels has done a great work in Helena and he is an efficient, brave, and fearless leader. His success during his brief pastorate has been almost phenomenal. Yours in Christ, P. D. SKINNER. splendid asset, an instrument throu which men work. We should preserve and present our bodies to God and if God can, will, and does use them, let us, as ministers of Christ, preserve, surrender and dedicate our bodies to Him, considering it a reasonable service.

Solo, "I Wish I Was a Child at Mother's Knee, Miss Mattle Cartwright. All well remembered. 11 o'clock Pastor Williams delivered a demonstrative sermon, subject "Wash" taken from 51st Psalm— Wash! To clense with water; washing process essential both spiritual and physical. David realized his soul needed washing, but did everything to avoid it because of the very toughness of the process, but finally yielded and came to God in the language of the text. Washing is significant and stands out conspicuous; the thing most desired for that process; we are made it for His kingdom. Baptism points out washing. The truth of being washed all over in order to be clean. So sprinkling a soiled garment would not cleanse, but plunge into the water, soap and tide and soil. Soap sets forth grace applied; lather, regeneration. Everybody must be washed; we can't wash ourselves, but should do as David did: go to God. Pastor Williams demonstrated with washboard, tub, soap and soiled garment. The sermon was delivered with power, driving the subject directly to the hearts of his hearers. 8 o'clock, Rev. R. A. Cartwright brought another great message, text, "Prepare to meet thy God." A sermon of much warning and the speaker vividly pointed out the dangers of waiting too long to prepare. You must be born again in order to prepare to meet your God. Everybody a judgment traveler and must come prepared or unprepared. More necessary to prepare to meet God than for anything.

Y., June 23-27, 1926, will be attended by a larger number of representatives from Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. U. Societies and other auxiliary organizations in the Baptist 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 off at the Sequil-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 the their Sunday Schools and B. Y, P. U. Societies, and contribute in every conceivable manner to the success of the Congress movement.

This fact was brought out in a gummary prepared recently by the International Labor Office at Geneva, Switzerland. On this basis, the American worker's wages were placed at the top with a purchasing power of 100%. Next came the English worker whose wages can procure only 50% of what American wages can buy. Then followed the Dutch worker with a purchasing wage of 45%, the Polish and Swedish workers with 40%, the French and Norwegian workers with 35%, the Belgian and Spanish workers with 30%, and the workers of Austria, Germany and Italy, with wages that in actual buying power are only 25% of the buying power of the American wage. What has caused the suprem- acy of the American worker? Many factorshave contributed, but underlying everything else is the fact that the American worker has more horsepower at his elbow than the worker of any other nation. In addition to his hands and his native skill, the American worker Kansas Gas and Electric Company “At Your Service" | SEASONABLE MERCHANDISE | REASONABLY PRICED Lawn Mowers $9.50 to $16.00 Garden Rakes’ .65 to 1.50 Hoes 75 to 1.25 Also a large line of Fishing Tackle, Base Ball goods, Tennis supplies, Coleman Camp and Cook Stoves.

Electricity is responsible for most of this horsepower. Asa result, not only is his work made easier, but, because his productiveness is increased, his earning power is corres- pondingly raised. A worker who can produce ten times more with horsepower machinery than he can with his bare hands, is worth more money to his employer and he can buy more. His goods, in the last analysis, are traded for somebody clse’s goods, and because horsepower has multi- plicd production, it has made shoes, automobiles, clothing, and every other necessity, more plentiful, better, and more easy to buy. Kansas Gas and Electric Com- pany’s big job is supplying the great industrial territory of southern Kansas with horse- power. Our huge transmission lines, power plants and our hundreds of trained employees are all devoted to the same purpose- increasing the pro- ductivity and hence the earning power of Kansas work- ers, and raising, not only wages, but the standards of iving in this great state.
