Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.19, No.18, THRONGS CROWD NEGRO PAGEANT Eastern News Agency) PHILADELPHIA, PA. July 23—The mammouth auditorium at the Sesqui Centennial was crowded by the attendance of over fifteen thousand spectators who witnessed "Loyalty's Gift" on Monday evening July 12th. It was a feature of not alone the Negro Activities but put to be the stellar exhibition thus far of any event held in the Auditorium. From the opening scene colorful and stately until Granell's wonderful Band played the "Star Spangled Banner" the audience was thrilled with the illumination, costume action and song presented. Mrs. Dora Cole Norman, directing the Pageant and also playing the part of "Loyalty" in the exhibition, deserved the great applause extended as she sade her first appearance and her final bow. Marian Anderson, depicting achievement in song held her hearers enraptured. The wide range of voice, the varied types of phrasing and interpretation, the fullness of tone included the artistic rendition of her numbers. The cast, composed of unprofessional lovers of drama and song made an impression in their choruses that will go down in history of such events as the most wonderful rendition yet made. They, like the crowd attending; broke all records. Mr. J. C. Asbury and his faithful and efficient staff deserve praise for their foresight and prediction that it "could be done." The Exposition officials agree that the success artistic and otherwise pleased as well as surprised them. The Hampton Quartette included in the star numbers rendered fine services. The Fisk Glee Club presented their number in voices so harmoniously blended as to seem a musical instrument swell and touched by a master. No small praise could suffice the effects achieved by Grinnell's Band; at times their instruments though metal sounded like an orchestra of stringed instruments. The character of the thousands in the audience was also of high degree. The writer talked with folks from Alabama, Indiana, New York, Ohio and less distant points who either planned their visit to Seasqui so as to include the Pageant or had made direct trips to Philadelphia in order to be in attendance. The State College at Dover, Delaware, adjourned the Summer School for teachers in order to see the spectacle. The Recreation Training School conducted by the Playground Association of America, canceled their afternoon schedule so the students attending from fifteen states might study the drama and musical effects. Mrs. Norman was loaned by this organization to direct the Exhibition. EXHIBITS PLACED.

Mackey, Warden, Kansas State Penitentiary, Lansing, Kansas. Dear Mr. Mackey: It is a pleasure to me to write this letter in behalf of Edgar Ransom, ANOTHER RACE MAN ATTACKED N. A. A. C. P. ASSISTS NEW JERSEY MAN ATTACKED BY MOB IN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE HIM FROM HOME. Governor Moore Promises Protection An effort on the part of a white mob at Palasades Park, N. J., to drive William P. Adams of New York town a newly purchased home located at 128 Brikerhoff Avenue, Palasades Park, N. J., brought prompt action by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, when Mr. Adams appealed to the Association for aid. Mr. Adams owns a home in New York City but wishing to provide for his wife and a year-old son a residence in a less congested cemetery, purchased a home in Palasades Park. Before closing the deal, Mr. Adams knew specifically of the real estate broker and the white owners of the house, if there would be any objection to his occupying it on the part of the neighbors. Being assured there would be no objection, the deal was consummated. Mr. Adams and his wife were welcomed by the neighbors. Upon making preparations to move into his new home, Mr. Adams was threatened by persons living more than a mile from the house, among the threateners being several of foreign birth and a number of whom were unable to speak English. Several mass meetings were held and veiled threats were made. Fearing for the safety of his wife and child, while he was at work in the Post Office at New York City, Mr. Adams appealed to the Association for help. The Association immediately took up the matter with Governor A. Harry Moore of New Jersey, Mayer Heder of Palisades Park, and Sheriff Sherry of Bergen County. Mr. Adams was also furnished with a letter to Olive Randolph, a prominent colored attorney at Newark, who reports to the N. A. A. C. P., that as soon as Adams presented his letter, he "called up, the Police Headquarters in Palisades Park, the Sheriff's Office and the Office of the Prosecutors of Pleas of Bergen County, and after much trouble, finally got a promise from the sheriff's Office that an officer would be placed on guard at Mr. Adams' house beginning at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, July 9th, the date on which Mr. Adams moved in." Governor, Moore, in a letter dated July 13 to the N. A. A. C. P., advises that he has referred the matter to "local authorities, who have entire jurisdiction in matters of this kind. Mr. Adams should present his complaint to the mayor of the town in which he lives, and where he is entitled to the same consideration as any other citizen, and I have no doubt that he will receive it." guard at your institution. I have known Mr. Ransom for a number of years as he was connected with the County Jail in Wichita some years ago while I was then Deputy United States Marshal. I found him to be a very efficient officer and I can assure you that I will personally appreciate any promotion that you may give Mr. Ransom for the heroic deed in killing the two prisoners. The people back here in Wichita, not only the Negro race but my own race, are very much pleased over the heroism of this deed. Very truly yours, C. F. J. OHRVALL. Ex-Deputy United States Marshal. GOOD REASON JUST ANOTHER REASON WHY Most thinking voters should vote for C. F. J. Ohrvall for Sheriff. The letter attached to this article will prove to any one that Mr. Ohrvall will and can be trusted to do the square thing if elected to this office. Next, we know that he is a Christian, not now but way before he began seeking this or any other office. When Mr. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, July 30, 1926. MEETING FOR INVESTIGATIONS By Ashton L. Sewell, 2305-71th Ave. NEW YORK CITY NYACK, N. Y.—When the Inter-Collegiate Association marshalled the delegates from 25 institutions, and held its second annual conference here July 17 and 15, to discuss "the New Negro and the Community" it aimed to destroy the social, religious, real and economic barriers to Negro Progress. "The term New Negro is a misnomer. 'The New Negro is a men who does not recognize but defies barriers.' The New Negro is one who thinks himself equal to any other man.' These were a few of the definitions given to the term. Last year's conference, with delegates from twenty one institutions, vited to send a resolution to the French Ministry regretting the departure of the French from her colonial policy, to send a memorial to the students of the University of China for the stand China took against foreign interference, and almost a dramatic scene it went down on record as opposing war. The first meeting of the second annual assembly was just as dramatic as the summary of the 1925 conference. Realistic statements concerning the family were argued in a calm manner. Profound interest and seriousness reigned while the problems of marriage were discussed. Some of the reasons for the instability of the family were stated as, "Woman has undergone a greater change than man. 'Man wants his mother type of wife.' 'The economic independence of woman is somewhat responsible.' Just 30 minutes after the opening of the nnferceoce when the intricate problems of the family life were being discussed the statement "that the Negro woman wants far exceed the capacity of the man to meet those needs started a retaliation in the defense of womanhood "The man of today wants a popular girl, a woman with pep, before he marries then after, he wants her to be that mother type of woman" said one of the feminine delegates. "The trouble with many single girls after they are 22 is, they become ashame and as a result marry the first man who proposes" she continued. Other than the idea of trial marriages suggested by one delegate, no direct solution was proposed. The political aspect, discussion evoked few questions such as: Are Negroes taking advantage of the franchise where permitted? What is the attitude of the Negro Woman to the ballot? How much confidence shall the Negro concede or try to regain the South? With the opinion that Negro woman has no interest in politics the discussion simmered down and forced the statement that "the Negro behaviors in principles and not parties or political leaders." The conferences favor the co-operative selling and buying by producers and consumers. They stressed especially higher education. The summary of this conference took place on Perry's estate overlooking the Hudson where the first annual conference closed. Just before the storm of rain, hail, wind and lightning, a queer phenomenon, for the month of July, the 75 delegates from the colleges and universities, entered the home of Miss Dorothy Perry. There is an exquisitively and luxuriously furnished residence, with sliding doors pushed apart, three rooms were transformed into one large corridor. The darkness without caused the light from frosted bulbs to fall with mellow radiance on the faces of the caces of the collegians. The storm was still raging when the conference went down in record:—1. Demanding the enforcement of the 13, 14, and 15 amendments. 2. In noting with ap- Ohrvall was asked, why he did this act of kindness, his answer was: "Because he is a friend of mine, and I never miss an opportunity to do a favor for a friend." Now Mr. and Mrs. Voter—use your good judgment when you vote. THREE RACE MEN PASS MEDICAL EXAMINATION IN NORTH CAROLINA RALEIGH, N. C., July 30—Out of a class of 93 applicants to practice medicine in North Carolina, 93 successfully passed the examination and among them were three race men, according to an announcement by Dr. K. P. B. Bonner, Secretary of the State Board of Medical Examiners. The race men passing the examination are:Dr. Wiley Claude Crump, of Liliesburg; Dr. Lonnie Anson Curry, Clinton; and Dr. Anthony Lenold Jordan of Gastonia. RHINELANDER APPEALS ANNULMENT DISMISSAL WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., July 30—Not only will Leonard Kip Rhinelander appeal to the Appellate Division from the Decision dismissing his complaint in a suit for annulment of marriage, but he will also appeal from allowance of $12,000 additional counsel fees. Formal notice of both appeals was on file Friday in the office of the county clerk. The two decisions in favor of Alice Jones Rhinelander, of New Rochelle, were signed two months ago by Supreme Court Justice Joseph Morschauser, although the jury which found that Rhinelander had not been deceived as to his wife's color, reported last December. Prior to the allowance of $12,000 counsel fees an allowance of $3,000 had been made, which was not opposed by Rhinelander. SOUTHAMPTON, EN., July 30—Alice Jones Rhinelander arrived with her mother to visit the latter's relatives in England and although surrounded by newspaper men, she escaped with the mere statement that she didn't care whether Leonard is in Paris. It is understood that orders were left for a chauffeur to call at the hotel after all London trains had departed, and it was thought that Mrs. Rhinelander intended to go to St. Malo, where her mother's father lives.

Sunday School Lesson (By RBV, P B FITZWATER, DD, Dear of Day and Evening Schools, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (© 1938 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for August 1 DELIVERANCE AT THE RED SEA LESSON TEXT—Exodus 14:1-31. GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord is my strength and song and he is become my salvation PRIMARY TOPIC—God Takes Care of the Children of Israel JUNIOR TOPIC—Israel Raved at the Red Sea Red Box INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How a Nation of Hives Was Set Free YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Divine and Human Leadership I. Israel in Straitened Circumstances (vv. 1-12) 1. Going out of the land of Egypt (13:19). The tenth stroke from the strong hand of the Almighty made Pharaoh willing to let Israel go. The Israelites went out from Egypt on their way to the promised land with a high hand. Through the land of the Philistines the journey would have been comparatively short, but God commanded them to turn from that way feet going through the land of the Philistines they would see war and desire to turn back to Egypt. The way of the wilderness was a longer route, but it had many valuable lessons for them. By this way they escaped the experiences of war which would have come to them at the hand of the Philistines, but they learned the crookedness and perverseness of their own hearts (Beut, 8:12). Hammed in (sv. 13). At the Lord's direction they turned from their first course and were made to face a great difficulty. The Red sea was before them and mountains on either side. However, they should have been encouraged because the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light. He took not away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night (13:21, 22). 3. Pursued by Pharaoh (vv. 4.12) The stricken Egyptians had now recovered from their sorrow, and perceiving the straitened circumstances of the Isernelites they interpreted this to mean that Moses was unable to lead them out of their difficulty. Therefore they went in pursuit, hoping yet to prevent them from leaving the country. II. The Miraculous Escape of the Isernelites (vv. 13.22) Though they were in a straitened condition they had no reason to fear, for the Lord had led them there. There seems to have been a twofold object in leading them into this particular place. 1 To strengthen the faith of the people. To be delivered from such circumstances would impress upon them know the reality of the love and power of God. The people, as usual, displayed their unbelief and even censured Moses for leading them out of Egypt. Moses replied, "Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord." Standing still in such a trial is faith taking hold on God's promises. God said, "Wherefore crest thou unto Me? Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward." The lifting up of the rod simply served as something tangible upon which their faith could act. They were to go forward a step at a time without raising any question as to the outcome, for from the source from which came the command, came the power to obey 2. To lay a snare for the overthrow of the Egyptians Those who will not feed the warm ing judgments of God may be allowed to go to their destruction under the presumptive that the Almighty is helping them. III. The Overthrow of the Egyptians (vy. 23:27). Having seen the Israelites go across the sea dry shod, Pharaoh and his people indulged them. They in saneely thought that they in their unbelief could follow In the wake of God's children. The Lord looked forth from the cloud and wrought confusion among the Egyptians. He not only looked upon them but took off their charlot wheels, which raised them to realize that God was fighting against them. He then directed Moses to stretch forth his rod and bring destruction upon the Egyptians. IV. The Song of Triumph (15.1.21). Standing on the other shore of the Red sea they could fittingly sing the song of triumph because of their miraculous deliverance and the over whelming defeat of the Egyptians They attributed it all to God All self consciousness and importance were left out. In a glad coming day, a similar but much larger company will sing the same song with an important addition, namely, the "Song of the Lamb" (Rey, 15:3).

Sunday was a lovely day for service; Pastor Mason was at his post. we were all glad to see him. We believe he is a man sent from God. He read for morning lesson 19 verses of Psalms; took for his text Nehemiah 4:6; "For the people have a mind to work." Subject: "A Working Church." The sermon was very instructive; everybody enjoyed it. At 8 o'clock he brought to us another message from Acts 9:9; Subject: "Why Persecute Thou Me?"
