Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.19 No.22 WHOLESOME RACE PRIDE NEEDED. REV. A. L. SCOTT IN SOUTHWESTERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. In the education of all races, room must be made for teaching its nible traditions, for fostering its historic pride. The Negro child ought to know very thoroughly the history of its race from 1619 to 1926. All that the Negro has done for this country; the part that Crispus attucks, Peter Salem, and a long list of others played in the initial hours of this country's life and development of the South; how also in the perplexing days of the Civil War the Negro's loyalty and true illustrious manhood both to master and country stood out like a beacon, and will continue to stand as long as men love the heroic and the good. The Negro child should be careful- activity, and under what circumstanc- ly taught how much progress the race es it has been made; the honored has made ebery sphere of human names of its members who have contributed so much to fine instinct that nature has implanted in the race its gennine, warm religiousness, its love of music. Every member of our race ought to be made to feel from earliest childhood, as against every misrepresentation of caricature goship, that there is something in the Negro type that is worth preserving, that will repay unfolding. We have a right and a duty to confront the ihjustict of prejudice with the legitimate prepossessions of a strengthened loyalty. INTERRACIAL CONFERENCES. STAR, ORLANDO, FLA. When bulsy men and women are willing to take time from their private business to get together, and discuss the community questions that effort at lynching was made in North of the two dominant races, it is a pretty good guaranty against misunderstandings and discord, and a sign of co-operation that is bound to work good to the entire community. The Negro race is composed of children of the South. They are imbued with the spirit of Americanism as strongly as it is possessing for a race to be. It requires a powerful influence to draw them away from the American way of doing things. They are a people devoted to the land so in keeping with their natural love for song and poetry. The "Sunny South" is the land of their love. A good understanding between the white and colored races is essential to the welfare to both. The bulk of the labor in the South is performed by the colored people. They occupy an important place in the economy of this country. They are more or less dependent upon the white race for guidance. That the colored face may be at its best in community requires cooperation between both races. The white race is largely the paymaster for the colored people. The white race must contribute, through taxation, to the schools for the colored childreh. The colored people are as a rule a deeply religious people and through this cooperation between the races, substantial support is given our churches by the whites. In addition to good schools and churches, parks for the exclusive use of colored people will be the next forward step in this interracial movement. Civic pride is being awakened in the breasts of the colored people and they are, each year, taking more pride in their homes and in their surroundings. They, too, want paved streets; city water, sewers and those things that make for better living conditions. And all these things make better citizenship. And better citizenraces of people in a community. which advances the interests of all Here in the South is the proper place for this spirit of cooperation to manifest itself; first, because there are so many colored people here, and; secondly; because the two races understand each other here. And both races will be well served by this cooperation. ellh;tw kttbew WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Aug. 27, 1926.

SOUTH IN FIRST MOST FREE OF LYNCHING. Outside of Florida, says the Atlantic Constitution, there has not been a lynching in the entire southwest during the first six months in this year this including the two Carolinas and Alabama and Tennessee. One effort at lynching was made in North Carolina, but the officers were equal to the emergency, as they can be almost every case when the officer are determined to uphold the integrity of the law. Lynching in the past has been too often traceable, even if legally unproven, to collusion between officers and the mob. The record thus far in the South is a marvelous improvement over that of a few years ago, when we usually had more lynching in one state in six months that now shown in the entire South and Southwest combined. no 8600 NEGROES IN COLLEGE LAST YEAR. 8600 NEGROES IN COLLEGE LAST YEAR.

PROGRAM BRIEF Dear Pastors and Co-workers of the churches, district association, district conventions, State auxiliary conventions comprising our Grand State Convention in the name of our Lord and Master, I extent you cordial greetings! This has been an unusual year in many respects and our churches have not rallied financially as in former years, though in keeping pace with the needs of field, the convention felt the imperative call of Christ to increase the rewards for Missionary activity in our State field last year at Salina, Kansas. Since increased giving according to the standard of God's word spells increased blessings spiritually and financially for the willing cheerful giver, it is hoped that each pastor, church, association and auxiliary will go its limit and make the supreme sacrifice financially in sensing money to the State Con, that convenes with the Mttropolitan Baptist Church, Kansas City, Kansas October, 1026, for it is written. "He which soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly; and he who soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully." "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work." 2 Cor. 9:6.8. Let each messenger, pastor, moderator, and president do his or her best to reach God's Standard in supplying the urgent need of his are is one the out standing woman field in Kansas. Dear co-worker, Christ is depending on you to finance His Kingdom in the grand old state. He rely on us or will we let covetousness and sinister interests deter [Portrait of a man in military uniform]. President, who has led the women of the Neosho Valley Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Convention successfully for the past 22 years. And was unanimously re-elected for the next year us in coming to the help of the Lord against the mighty? I am pleased to say, I have confidence in the noble workers with whom it has been my delight to labor in our great Convention, and that the Lord of the harvest can depend on us to work and pay His program over.

Bishop Brooks, who was a visitor, made a fine talk and expressed his pleasure in being present with us. At 11:00 a. m., there was a large congregation, who listened to a wonderful sermon by Bishop Brooks. He spoke from II. Cor. 4:6: "For God Commanded light to shine out of darkness." That Christians were the light of the world, and should ever uphold the principles of truth. Bishop Brooks greatly impressed his hearers of his Mission Work in Africa, and related interesting facts of the existing conditions in that country, and that as a race we can do our part helping to Christianize. In response to an appeal $135.50 was raised. Bishop Brooks left the city at 4:00 b. m. for Hutchinson. The A. C. E. League field an inesting meeting at 7:00 p. m.

The Fifth Commandment (v. 12). 2. How this commandment may be broken. (1) By showing disrespect to parents. Disrespect is shown to parents— (a) By speaking of them as "the old man" and "the old woman." (b) By being ashamed to be seen in their company. (2) By disobedience. (2) By not supporting them in their old age. 2. Promises annexed to this commandment. (1) "That it may be well with thee" (Eph. 6:3). (2) "That thou mayest live long upon the earth. 11. The Sixth Commandment (v. 13). This is a bulwark thrown around human life. Man was created in God's image. Every attempt to take human life is a thrust at God. This commandment may be broken: 1. By sinful anger (Slatt. 5:22). 2. By hatred (I Jno. 3:15). 3. By immoderate recreation. 4. By employers having unsafe surroundings, thereby causing the death of their employees 5. By sending children to toll in shops and factories before maturity. 6. By suicide. 7. By infanticide. 8. By wars. III. The Seventh Commandment (v. 14). This is a bulwark thrown around the home. This commandment may be broken; 1. By unclean thoughts, affections, purposes and imaginations (Matt. 5:27, 28; 15:19) 2. By unchaste conversation 3. By wanton looks (Isa 3:16; II Peter 2:14). 4. By immodest apparel. 5. By actual adultery. 6. By divorce. IV. The Elighth Commandment (v. 15). This commandment strikes at the sin of theft. This commandment may be broken; 1. By taking that which actually belongs to another. 2. By false weights and measures. 3. By extortion. 4. By employers defrauding em- ployees and the employee failing to do honest work or put in full time. 5. By borrowing and not returning. 6. By going into debt, knowing that payment is impossible. 7. By usury. 8. By graft. 9. By lying advertisements 11. By unking assignments to escape payment of debts. 11. By strong nations oppressing the weaker ones V. The Ninth Commandment (v. 16). The sin aimed at by this command is a most deadly one—that of lying. This commandment is to be broken: 1. By actual or legal. 2. By perjury being to falsehoods by the name of God. 3. By slander. 4. By tale-bearing (1ev. 10:10). This is commonly done by repeating a report without investigating its truthfulness. 5. By creating a false impression (Ex. 23:1). 6. By a breach of promise. 7. By withholding the truth. 8. By exaggeration. 9. By flatters. 10. By recommending a mau for a position of honor and trust who is unfitted for it. VI. The Tenth Commandment (v. 17). This commandment strikes at the desire for that which is unlawful for one to have. The sin does not lie in the desire to possess things, but in the desire to possess that which belongs to another. It is not wrong to have lands and personal property which one may have required honestly, but it is wrong to have the lands which belong to another. It is right for a man to have a wife, but it is sinful to have another's wife. This commandment goes back of all the rest. It deals not only with the open violation, but with the inner desires and motives. It strikes at the very purposes of the heart. Nowhere Else to Go I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.—Abraham Lincoln Cure for Depression It just cure for depression is to look around and see what is happening to other people.

Organi. ie etagan. ing much speculation as to the final outcome, as well as sympathz for the ousted priests, It 1s, to say, the least treading on dangerous ground to ol- fgn with either cause, and yet the charge that President Calles makes against the Christian Church in Mexi- co is one that arouses much ‘nterest and thought, Tz. clergy is accused of seeking temporal ower. That power is destained to benefit big businesa in- terests and Wal! Street, In acquiring that power the priests are charged with acts little short of slavery for the poor working class and orphin children. Evidently this power had begun to show results detrimental to the Mexican government or contrury to the policies of the present admini- stration. Whatever the evils moat noticable, It fs an indisputable fact that the Christian, Church In Mexico had shown the effects of organization in some form. rm in America, the church ac- Avity “in pohtical and civil mate ters is sought more or less, Catho- lics Protestants are urged to take a hand and counsel the clectives durmg their political careers. For some reason the Christian church in Amert- ca has failed to see the advantage of acquiring temporal power, and ~onse- quently the political material ava!- lable has hardly any religous affil- ations that would affect a campaign one way or the other. Een is this true of the Ne- ‘fo politician. Ministers them selves, as a rule, know httle about church government. Their idea of social and welfare work is usually summed up in prayer, prayer und more prayer, with a contribution thrown in here and there. Business connectlons and industrial occupa- tions of their members are comm. ed toa favored few, In short they do not have even a child’s conception of their own church and its relation to the municipality of which it is a resi. dent, qT “old corn-field religion" Jvight have been good enough, when therewas nothing else to devel- ope but the “cornfield” and when “Maise George" provided shelter, food and rations and when a slave owner's generosity waa the only assurance that a family would remain intact, But today, the situation is different, ‘We aspire for honors in many “fields,” We must develop our own children, and maintain industries, support professions, encourage en- terprises so that these children may be honorably employed at maturity. I is not enough to say that we or our children attended sunday school and church on Sabbath uay, Jt is not enough to say even that a ban- ner crowd turned out for the last ral- ly and witnessed the burning of the mortgage. We must be able to point to that church and say that some suc- cesaful organization had its beginning there; or that men and women now succesful were aided In completing thelr education through 9 scholarship that some particular church support- ed Ce rights, privileges and abligations should be subjects for lectures and discussions in the church just as much so as the trip that Christ made to the temple, Cuopera- tion in temnoral matters {s more es- sential at this time than unison In prayer, While both are evidences of organization, temporal success will doubtless Induce prayer with less skepticism, if not unbounded faith. Ore. in the Negro church as not extended beyond the ents lection basket and the backwoods cholr with few exceptions, of course, Some will ray that he church has no other function than to worship God. But in snother breath those same peorle will say that God ts everything r-* controls everything.

APPEAL ™ Dear Brother Pastor and Officers of the Baptist Church of Kansas GREETING from God, the Father and Jesus Christ our Elder rother: Following the Brief of our Chieftain, Dr. W. A. Bowren, this comes to inform you that the State Convention will be held at Kansas City with the Metropolitan Temple, Closing out the Con- ventional and Associational Year under the unified Program. No doubt, you have asked the question: “What is my require. ment to the State Convention?” It is just this: Your district allotted you, your district and State Budget. When you gave to the district, you were giving to the State Work. Note you owe to the State the amount you failed to give covering your district and State Budget. Therefore, the Con- vention offers you the opportunity to make your last rally to meet your Mission Program for the year 1925-1926, It is our purpose to send you a better stating the amount you have paid and the betance due, We are requesting a'l the secre- taries of the district to supply us with the proper information, wnish will also be printdd in The Negro Star, as an illustration: If your Budget was $100.00 and you paid $50.00, you should bring $50.00 to the State Convention, | Let us all be conscientious and write our secretari:s of our: district and ask that the balance due which we have agreed to pay, unto the Lord. Mal. 3:8, prophecy asks: “Will a man rob Goa?” J am sure we will not. We nced $2500.00 at our Annual Meeting to go forward in the larger call that is confronting us. Several churches need Temporary help. Others need increas- ed Missionary Pastor’s support, and the Seminary must be en- -larged and a new building constructed.

U., Mission Circle and Church should send in a donation, This is the last chance for the Conventional Year, Let us.aim high, $20.00 for smal] church and $100.00 for larger ones. We need to do more for Forelgn Missions, Publishing, Edu- cation and B. Y, P. U., and all tha National work in general,. We can make this the Banner year, $2500.00.
