Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE State Historical Society, W. E. Daeon FOR THE GOING TO HELL OL AND WHO CARES? Psa. 9:17. The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forgot God. Preached by Rev. Wm. E. Harrison At Stanford, Texas last year in a series of meetings at 1st Baptist Ch. Pcv. J. W. McDonald, Pastor. Great meeting it was. Many professed Christ and joined the church. The Pastor said that he had begun to feel bad had pastored/many years there, and no conversions until this sermon struck them:— First, is there a Hell? Some say No. Others say yes, Well we will let the Scriptures decide. To it no argument:—What do the forty Holy inspired secretaries, who wrote the Holy Bible say about it? Deut. 32: 22, "A fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn to the lowest hell." Job 26.6; "Hell is naked before Him; and the destruction hath no covering." Psalm 139:8 "If I make my bed in hell; behold thou art there." Matt. 5, "But whosoever shall say, thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." Vs. 29, 30; 18:46; Mark 9:43-47; and many others declare that there is a burning hell. 2. Who are going there? Note the text—We by no means can point out the individuals who are going there, but the characters that the Scripture condemns: 2nd Thess. 2:11, 12; "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusions, that they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned who believe not the truth." Rom. 1:28-32; And as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up. V. 26; God gave them over (to the devil) to a reprobate mind. To my thinking, 'this character is going to hell, for no one can come to God unless he is woed or drawn by the Holy Spirit. But a sinner has gone so far into sin; conscience so hardened, heart and mind hardened until no more impression of the Holy Spirit is felt; This character is hell-bound. "My spirit," saith the Lord "shall not strive with men always." Let him alone; Ephraim is joined to his idols. Going To Hell and Who Cares! 3. Our 3rd thought, Who cares! The Holy Trinity cares. God the Eternal Father cares and proved it. John 3:16. "For God so loved the world of sinners that He gave His only Begotton Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have an everlasting life." (V. 17) At the baptism of His Son, He told the world that he was well please, and hear ye Him—His Son cares and proved it.—Heb. 2.9-14;5:9-10. He became God-man. Divinity clothed in human that He might taste death for every man. He died a shameful substitute death, because He cared and the Holy Spirit cares and proves it. Fifty days after the Lord of Glory had risen and ascended. He came down on the day of Pentecost, to prepare men and women to carry out the Wide World Mission and prepare the church to obey its marching orders. It is He that woo men to Christ. It is He that convicts, converts, regenerates, adopts, sanctifies, comforts and lead us to heaven. Going to hell and who cares! Fourth thought—The New Testament Church cares. For she is in prayer for you sinners, and pays Millions of Dollars every year to have the Gospel preached to you. Some preachers care, and some don't seem to care. Some of the parents care and some don't seem to care. Some of your so-called chums or friends cares and some don't. The drunkard, the bootlegger, the ballroom gang and the gambler don't care if you go to hell. Last thought—Do you sinners care? Let me ask every sinner, who may read this sermon. Do you care? If so prove it. If so demonstrate it tonight, while the church stands and sings. Come forward and strike the trail tonight. Many came forward and surrender to the voice of the Spirit and joined the church. From the Scriptures given there are peo- J D. Y. P. U., conducted by Wm. fordard.

It was a masterly sermon and our hearts were made to rejoice OLD FOLKS' CONCERT AND STUDENTS' RECITAL Last Monday night was a double occasion for enjoyment with the Old Folks' Concert in the basement, which was instructive to young and old; a wonderful test here, of memories of forty and fifty years ago. They showed how carefully they took care of old relics and exhibited articles handed down to five generations. Mrs. A. J. Duke was Mistress of Ceremonies. This entertainment was under auspices of the City Federation of Women's Clubs, Mrs. F. C. Helm, Pres.

CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH AND PASTOR W.II. YOUNG, TOPEKA, Where the Kansas State S. S., and B. Y. P. U. Conventions will meet, June 15-18, 1926. ```markdown ``` Calvary unanimously agreed, last Sunday morning in the 11 o'clock service, to stand against anything coming within her walls that will, in any way lower the standard of the Church of the Living God, and any member has the rights to stop such actions whenever they start. She rejoices in the Gospel, because "it is the Power of God unto salvation to every one who believeth;" and we are not only Saints of God, but we are Sons of God, according to His own word. Paul said: "It doth not yet appear what we shall be," when we leave the mundane shore as mundane saints, "but thank God we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." If this mind is not in you, you are none of His and shall never be like him. If it pleased Jesus to call the church His Father's House, it pleases us to call it the same. If it pleased Jesus to take a plaited cord and drive the people from the church, who were selling the necessary things for offerings and tell them they were making His Father's House too common then, we think it is making our Father's House too common to sing: "She is my Baby." We don't want to sell the influence of the House of God, for popular notions of people. We believe the church should stand up, lift up, but never give up. WONDERFUL SUCCESS WONDERFUL SUCCESS HUMBOLDT, KANSAS—The grand opening program of the Poplar Grove Baptist Church on 3rd and Mulberry Street was held in its new church edifice, May 11-16. Sunday School conducted by Chester Stovall, Supt. The W. H. F. Mission Circle conducted by Mrs. Hattle Landrum, President. and overflow with glad tidings that he delivered to us. Nearly every town in the district was represented by a splendid delegation and they partook of the hospitality at the noon hour when the tables were spread in our basement and tubs and baskets were unloaded of their wholesome food and each one was made to feel at home, with plenty of refreshing and appetizing food. We re-assembled in the afternoon with a good lively devotional service conducted by our visitors. Welcome Address by Rev. Warren Stovall, District Missionary; Response by Sister M. G. Glover of Chanute; Solo by Mrs. J. W. Gordon, Iola; Reading by Chester Stoval, Humboldt; Solo by Miss Lucille Ross, Humboldt. Then a very able sermon was preached by Rev. E. S. Scobey, Pastor of Second Baptist Church, Iola. The night sermon was preached by Rev. Lowe of Olathe, which brot our services to a close with a total of $176.05 and the best wishes of our many friends and co-workers, far and near. Rev. H. H. Hobson, Pastor, HEAR YE HIM AND BE SAVED (Inter-Race Associated Press Service) Great interest has been aroused throughout the city by the announcement made by the Rev, C. E. Brooks, Pastor of St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church, at the corner of Water and Elm Streets of the coming of America's most widely known Negro preacher, "Black Billy Sunday" whose real name is that of the Reverend Dr. Gordon McPherson, to Wichita, to lead a great Old Time Gospel Meeting, for 15 days at St. Paul, which is to begin on Wednesday evening, June 16, when Billy, in his characteristic way preaches his opening sermon and hurls his Gospel thunderbolts into the camps of the wicked. Billy comes to Wichita from a series of Big Gospel meetings in Louisiana and Mississippi,, where it is reported that thousands of both races flocked to hear his powerful Gospel Messages and scores of both races were won to the New or the Higher Life in Christ. He comes to Wichita, with an enviable record of having preached to the largest mixed crowds in the country. It is predicted that if he gets the same hold on Wichita, that he has gotten on the other cities such as New Orleans, Fort Worth, Texas, Chicago, Indianapolis, Denver, Los Angeles, and Jacksonville, Florida, there is going to be a mighty stir here among these old dry bones in the valley. Among the special features of the DR. BRYANT MUCH IMPROVED. The last telegram from Miss R. L. Brown of Atlanta, Ga, stated that Dr. J. James Bryant was much improved and the doctors thought he would recover from the stroke he had last week in prayer meeting. Dr. Bryant a pastor of the famous Wacat Street Baptist Church, Chairman of the B. J. P. U. Publishing Board and one of the expect lecturers of the Sunday-School and B. Y. P. U. Congress that will meet in Brooklyn, New York, June 23-27, 1926. Let everyone pray the Father to spare this useful man; it is His will. RECOGNIZES NEGRO AS CREATIVE ARTIST One of the most significant changes regarding the Negro in the United States in recent years has been the change of attitude on the part of the American public toward Negro culture and art. That is the conclusion of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its Annual Report recently issued. Today the most important periodicals in the country are open to Negro writers. The greatest publishing house is readily bringing forth worthy books of Negro authors. Negro musicians and singers are filling the finest concert halls in the country and Negro singers are appearing as soloists with our most famous orchestras. An important factor in this changing attitude is believed to be the annual award of the Spingarn Medal for the most distinguished achievement of some American of African descent. It is interesting to note that this Medal has been awarded to two Negro artists both of whom have been seen and heard in spokek. One was Roland Hayer, the Negro tenor, and the other was Charles Golpin, star of "The Emperor Jones," the Eugene O'Neill masterpiece. Other Negroes to receive this recognition have been Professor George W. Carver, soil and agricultural chemist of Iucagoe, and James Weldon Johnson, author of "The Book of American Spirituals." Paul Robeson, a note actor as well as a singer, has not yet attained that honor, although his art is recognized and applauded in the highest artistic circles of the land. Art and culture know no race, creed or color. Where the American qualifies as a creative artist and contributor to the national culture, it matters not if his skin be black or yellow. meetings will be the singing by a large choir; powerful preaching with the old time power of the Holy Ghost with Fire. Pastor Brooks calls upon his Ministry of Wichita, regardless of denominational affiliations, to come with their people, to join in this mighty Battle against Sin, in order that the Churches may be built up in the Faith;—the community at large will be a better place to Live, is one of the most unique and remarkable characters of the American Platform, whose Apostolic Zeal for souls and suffering humanity places him in a class by himself. He is a mighty man of Prayer and believes that Salvation is for both healing of the Soul and the Body.

MORE ABOUT THE BROOKLYN CONGRESS MORE ABOUT THE BROOKLYN CONGRESS The people in Brooklyn, and the East are doing their best for the entertainment the Congress and showing a determination to give that organization the firest opportunity it probably ever had. Pastor Adams, of the Concord Baptist Church, is utilizing all the forces within his reach necessary to entertain the Congress on a large and satisfactory scale. He has just secured the KINH AUDITORIUM for the meeting place of the Congress. This is the place where Moody and Seaky held their great meetings; where C. man and Alexander held their big revivals; it is indeed a historic spot. The soldiers from Long Island and Brooklyn, were assembled in this place for the Civil War. It is just ten minutes' walk from the great Plymouth Church, where the noted Henry Ward Beecher preached; it is only five minutes walk from the spot where the great preacher, T DeWitt Talmage preached; it is just two blocks from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, one block from the Concord Baptist Church. Not only is the meeting place conveniently located, but it has sufficient space to accommodate, with their exhibits, all the Boards and Agencies of the National Baptist Convention. All messengers and visitors are urged to send a letter requesting housing accommodation at the earliest possible date. The Entertainment Committee stands ready to make assignments which will enable the delegates to go immediately from the rail road station to their stopping places. Among the splendid welcome addresses, that are to be delivered, is probably one from his Excellency, the Governor of New York State. The New York people are determined to out do all other cities in entertaining the messengers and visitors to the Congress. Send in your name at once to the Chairman of the Entertainment Committee, Rev. Jan. B. Adams, 150 Adelphi St., Brooklyn, N.Y. The ancient doctrine of Law which declares that "a man's home is his castle," has been upheld by a Detroit jury, and Henry Sweet, brother of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, who, with 11 Negroes in all, has been tries for murder, was acquitted, the prosecutor announcing that he had not decided whether or not the remaining defendants will be brought to trial. The principal facts in the case are simple. A race physician, having established his home in a community over the objections of white "supremists" was besieged by a mob, bent on "cleaning" the neighborhood of Race residents. In due course, after countless outrages, persecutions, and malignant offenses, the good doctor, in defense of his "castle," took ordinary and reasonable precautions to protect himself and his family from mob violence; and, somehow or other, in the climax of a race disturbance, a white man was killed by some one. Whether the deceased was a member of the mob, or an innocent bystander, was not clearly shown; but he was a (Continued on page four) Abilene Interests Told Our Pastor Rev. J. W.

Wichita, has had boys at Camp Wood cach year. The accent upon their livey has been very out- standing. Two of our Boys are now Junior Leaders at Camp Wood. All over the United States, Mr. Hutcherson, sald, similar piepara- tions are under way. Reviewing the camp situation as a whole, he pre- dicted that more than 1,000,000 boys and girls would be in 6000 camps this year under the direction of va- rigus organizations Interested in building up the character of Ameri- can youth. But in other places, the door 1s closed to Negro Youth, “The popularmty of summer camps is steadily increasing,” he declared, “This is borne out in recent state. ments by both H. W. Gibson, of Bos- ton, President of the National Camp Directors’ Association, and Arthur N. Cotton, of the Y, M, C, A, Nation+ al Council in New York, senior secre- tary of the Association’s work among boys in the tUnited States. “Mr. Gibson, who Is also head of ¥. M. C. A. Boys Work in Massachus- sctt, and Rhode Island, and Director of Camp Becket in the Berkshires, has credited this growth in camp popularity to the fact that the =a, mer camp fills a need for recreation and relaxation which, in our present civilization, can be obtained in almost no other way, As our life grows more ond more complex, it becomes con- tinually more and more important that some means be found for get+ ‘ing away from the hurry and bus. | le.”” Camping already is becoming al part of the education movement.

Societies, and con- tribute in every conceivable manner to the success of the Congress move- ment, Reduced -Ketroad Rates, The officials of all the railroads throughout the country have grant- ed s reduced rate of ONe-Half Fares for the Round-Trip on the Identifica- tion Certificate Plan. These Certifi- cates must be secured from the Con- Congress headquarters and present- ed to the local ticket agent at the time tickets are purchased. Parties failing to procure and exhibit such Identification Certificates will be re- quired to pay full fare both ways. Messengers are hereby inatructed 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 discuss- ed, Splendid attention will be given to the intellectual pursuits and eul- tural processes in which we are en- gaged.
