Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.19, No.36, CUPID WON AFTER A LENGTHY BATTLE Over one year of the hardest battle that Cupid has ever put up, was put up in the heart of Dr. H. B. Bison son, the efficient pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, Kansas City, Kansas, trying to conquer the much desired of the busy and much loved, Miss Dorothy L. Sims, the efficient Music teach and founder of the Colsridge-Taylor Conservatory, of Music at Wichita. Friends and enmies on both sides produced every thought of fear to stoppe the inroad of Cupid's mighty power, but in vain; so last Wednesday morning, as the clock was striking ten the victory was declared by Rev. J. W. Hayes, her pastor of Calvary Baptist Church. The supreme aid of Cupid's desire was accomplished when the sweet notes of a solo by Marjole King, president of Burligh-Hayes Conservatory of Music, were chargeging every wave of air and riding melodiously into the souls of the many persons presence in the packed house.—making ready for this solemn, but glorious occasion. Mascames Marjorie King and Mrs. G. L. Scott rendered the duett march that brought the very noted couple before Matrimonial Altar, Rev. B. L. Marchant prayed a very fervent prayer, asking God choicest blessing on this occasion and future blessings of the couple and Rev. J. F. Green closed the ceremony, asking God for long, successful and happy lives. Both bride and groom were very costly and stylishly dressed in their traveling rations, ready to catch the 11:35 train, where a prepared drawing room was already. The bride carried a beautiful bouquet of natural flowers. She held up bravely until after the ceremony, then as she looked at her sea of friends, of whom she had so freely helped and they had so freely, helped her, the tears did flow from her eyes and many eyes, who loved her. Companied by many of their friends, they were soon off to the depot, where the rice shower continued until they were well on the train. Friends present and friends absent tried to express her worth by their valuable gifts and over $500.00 worth were laid at her feet, while Newton, Topeka and Kansas City, Kansas, added many valuable gifts. We hope to be able to give the names of every person and their gift in next issue with report from the reception at Kansas City. The following poem was composed several year's ago, will tell what her brother thought of her after she had lived in house for 13 years: To my Sister so innocently pure, That she never thinks of sinners dew; She serves earnestly, patiently free, Believing her life belongs to thee. II. Unselfish is her Christiah name; Her service merits its own fame; She can't realize she works for you, Its in God's name having something to do. III. She wants each day to be Known, A few knots nearer eternity home; Where mortalities will forever pass, And the glory of the soul will last. IV. Where each Turmoil of life will clear, And she can have a reward for a tear; Because she loved humanity at a cost, A sweet life like this shall not be lost. V. It is the Angel's guilding hand, That makes you able to stand; Giving honor to father's family tie, We know you will be real on high. VI. Now keep sweet for other's sake, Proving there is nothing in a fake; But the person, who will grow, Must make light, lighter other's woe. In you, all the qualities are found. And God's righteousness will crown; Thy labor with blessings of success. Because your life brought others the best. Among the many social events SOUL FIRE. 1930 WILLIAM EDGAR BAILEY I hope with a hope That a more than a hope; A hope that is drenched with tears— A hove, tear stained, A hope, prayer washed, A hope, unru ed by fears! I'm oppressed, still I hope; He, more favored than I— Yet I take all he has fo g've, His rage spends its force, I smile thru my tears— Still I look in h's face and live! I dream with a dream That's more than a dream; For fabric of dreams, is clay— This dream I dreamt, If dream it be, Bore fruit of a grander day! In this pageant of dreams, With its high ways patrolled, Men of prejudice never plod; Io! Men honor men, The right must prevail— For the heart of my dream is God! given in honor of Miss Dorothy Sims, (bride-to-be) the dinner given Tuesday evening by Mr. and Mrs. John Hardy in their home at 13th and Wahash Ave., desires special mention. Covers were laid for eighteen. The tables were beautifully decorated with American Beauty roses and white Mums. The place cards, very clever in design represented a bride and groom. An elaborate four course dinner was served. Shredded crab in crackers, roast Turkey, sweet potato croquettes, buttered peas in turnip cups, hot rolls, celery, cranberries olives, grape fruit salad with cheese sticks, ice cream and cake, coffee, etc. The cream was very artistic Individual containing the form of a bride and groom. Those enjoying this hospitality were Miss Dorothy Sims, Dr. H. B. Bronson, of Kansas City, Prof. and Mrs. Smiley of Ky., Dr. T. L. Ballou, of Muskogee, Okla, Rev. and Mrs. B. L. Marchant, Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Hayes and Ernstine, Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Bates, Dr. and Mrs. Hugh N. Sims and son, Mrs. Henry Payne, Editir Sims, Mrs. Greer, Miss Oreathe Radliffe, sister of Mrs. Hardy, assisted in serving. All proclaimed Mr. and Mrs. Hardy as ideal in their entertainment. A DINNER OF APPRECIATION Mr. I. Lloyd Troutt, one of the most active deacons and workers of New Hope Baptist Church, thought it was but right to demonstrate to the Baptist Ministers of the city and their guests, Dr. Thos. L. Ballou and Prof. J. H. Smilley his appreciation for their worth in this city and community in this great Union Revival; so on last Monday afternoon he had, and assisted his Brother, Mr. Chub Troutt, proprietor of L'Ouverture Sandwich Shop, to fix and serve one of the most appetizing dinner that it has been their to enjoy while in the city. You know if Chub Troutt had a hand in it, it was a real meal. The dinner guests were; Rev, B. L. Marchant, his pastor; Rev, J. E. Douglass, Rev, Wm. McIlbeen, Rev, J. W. Hayes and Editor H. T. Slims, honoring Dr. Tros. L. Ballou and Prof. J. H. Smilev. Mr. Iloyd Troutt made the occasion more joyous by not only serving us, but by taking his place at the table in full fellowship, while we feasted on rabbit- chicken and WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Nov. 26, 1926.

Ballow, one of the best Automatic Gospel Cannons that God has placed on the fort to protect his Kingdom from the on rush of Satan's mighty force, has fired some of the most profound, well prepared and experience seasoned truths that have conquered souls after souls until over one hundred have hoisted the white flag of peace to a troubled soul and steered out on the side of right and righteousness. The vibrations from this powerful Cannon have broken up thoughts and actions of wrong doings in many homes of Wichita, and they will never be the same again. The smoke and noise of this great Cannon have attracted the attention of every race in the city and many came close enough to the battle to be shell shocked and they will be effect throut the balance of their lives He had an over supply of ammunition shipped out from the Throne of God, ready and powerful enough to bring every heart under subject. God let Dr. Ballou have wisdom, because He knew how to use it effectively. He not only took dead aim on sinner, but veal cutlets and everything that goes to make a real meal. We left this well kept restaurant with full stomachs and uplifted hearts and tongues of praises for the two Troutt Brothers.

A LADY EMBALMER Mrs. Elliza Erdgeforth of Memphis Tennessee, has purchased an interest in The Citizens Mortuarn a well who was a powerful asset in the Union Revival, with his Union Chorus and his wife at the piano. No enemies are conquered nor do soldiers keep up the "pep" without the best of Music; so while this mighty battle raged for three weeks, Prof. and Mrs. J. H. Smiley furnished the most inspiring, convincing, uplifting and propelling music that Wichita, has ever heard. The sweet nites of Zion arrested every wave of either and rode from heart to heart until the wall of the churches could not hold them her could the race that they belong circumscribe the sweet melodies of their souls; so they sang por man; congregations of other races in the city. Their sweet music melted sin from hearts of sinner and revived life in the souls of the dead Christian soldiers and they lined up to the tune of the music and gave God the praise. Every word was clear, every not was thrilling and the spirit of God tuned every heart to the satisfaction of Zion's own heavenly Orchestra. Thus this great trio moved Wichita from her bases and it will, never be the same again. "THANKS BE UN-10 GOD FOR HIS UNSPEAKABLE GIFT."

Five Cents Per Copy IN MEMORIAM Death loves a shing mail, and those whom we can see a bright and useful career, are taken from us in the very prime of youth, and we cannot understand. In the passing into the great beyond, Paul Woods, has caused a vacancy in the circles in which he moved, that can never be filled so well was he beloved by those with whom he was associated. Paul Woods was born in Kansas City, Jan. 11, 1904 and at the time of his demise, was 22 years 10 month and 5 days. His passion came as a revere check to all, as his was a brief illness of 3 days duration. At the age of 3 years, he moved with his parents to Marsfield, Mo, where at the age of 4 years he was christened in the Presbyterian Church by Rev. M. C. Cooper. At the age of 6 years, he entered the schools of Marshfield, Mo., and completed the 8th grade in 1918. He next entered the Sumner High School Lebanon, Mo. He later spent one term in the Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, Mo., and then came to Wichita, to join his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Vert Woods, who had moved here entered the Wichita High School and graduated with the class of 1924. Y. P. C. at Calvary Baptist Church. Later he took an active part in the Allen Christian Endeavor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, associated with the president, the late Mr. John D. Jones. He was also connected with the St. Paul's Junior Choir. Paul was an active member of the Y. M. C. A., was a member of the Lone Scouts of America, in which organization under W. D. Boyce, Chief Taxtem, he passed the Sixeh test or 5th. degree and was awarded the highest service medal. Paul wood, will ever be held in loving memory by his many friends and in the community which so deeply deplore the loss of such a bright and noble character. (Continued on page four) Y. M. C. A.

C., Nov. 26 The right of the Ku Klux Klan of Georgia to operate in all states of the union, regardless of state laws, was claimed before the Supreme Court here Thursday by attorneys for the secret order. Appealing from an ouster order of the Kansas Supreme Court the Klan counsel invoked privilege of free speech and free press to sustain the claim. The Kansas Court held that the klan had not complied with the state charter act for foreign corporations. Death loves a shining mark, those and 5 days. His passing came as a Taxtem, he passed the sixth test of Improved Uniform International SundaySchool Lesson [By NEW, F B FITZWAJER, DD, Dean of Day and Eventing Schools, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago] [C) 1928 Western Newspaper Union] GIDEON AND THE THREE HUNDRED LESSON TEXT—Judges 7 1-28. GOLDEN TEXT—Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. PRIMARY TOPIC—Gideon and His Brave Land JUNIOR TOPIC—A Brave Lender. INTERMEDIATE AND SUMMER TOPIC—Gideon and the Three Hundred YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Working Together With God Because of Israel's sin, God permitted them to be brought under the cruel yoke of bondage at the hands of the Mildianite. So grievous was this affliction that they hid in dens, caves and strongholds (Judg 6:22). In their distress they cried unto the Lord and he lent deliverance to them through the judgement of Glideon. The angel of the Lord appeared to him while at the post of duty. Glideon hesitated. His hesitancy was not due to unbelief but to modesty and cautiousness. He came from an obscure and uninfluential family (Judg 6:15). Before going forward in this enter prise he wished to be doubly sure that God had called him (Judg 6:30-40) The tangible evidence was furnished by means of the fleece. Glideon began his reformatory work at once (Judg 6:25-27). He not only began at once, but began at home. This is God's order. I. The Opposing Armies (v. 1). Gideon and his army arrose early on the eventful day of his victory and encamped by the spring of Ilterrod. Over against them was the host of Midianites in battle array. Gideon's army was quite insignificant in comparison with the Midianites. II. The Sifting of Gideon's Army (vv. 2-8). At Gideon's call, 32,000 men responded ready for the struggle. This seemed a small army to go against the Midianite army—135,000 strong, but God said even this was too many, less they be led to boasting and self-confidence. Their real danger was not in their small army but in their pride. All that were faithful hearted were allowed to go back, leaving only 10,000. There were 22,000 cowards in that group of men and worst of all, they were not ashamed to confess it. Still, this was too many. When God was through with His lifting process only 300 remained. The 10,000 were brave men, but not of proper quality and fitness. Those who lapped the water showed alertness and watchfulness. III. God Gives Encouragement to Gideon (vy. 9-15). God commanded Gideon to go down to the Midianite camp where he would hear something that would cheer his heart and strengthen his hands. God always comes to cheer us when our hearts are faint. When he came near he heard a man tell a dream which was that of a barley cake tumbling into the camp and smiling it. He also heard the interpretation given to that dream which made Gideon to be that cake. This greatly cheered his heart and strengthened him for his work and caused him to break forth in praise to God. The barley cake is a very insignificant thing—a very cheap affair in itself, but with the hand of God upon it it would be sufficient to spread consternation among the Bildi families and bring destruction upon their armies. No matter how weak and insignificant a man may be, if God is with him he shall not fall. IV. God Gives Victory to Gideon (yy. 18:23). His attack was unique. The whole matter was of faith (Heb. 11:32). The ground of his faith was God's Word and the token which He had given him. Glideon with his 300 men formed into three companies, each man being provided with a lamp concealed within a pitcher. Thus armed they surrounded the camp of the Midianites. They were all instructed to keep their eyes upon their leader and imitate him. We too are to keep our eyes on our Leader, Christ, and to ever do as He does. At the proper moment they blew their trumpets and broke their pitcher, giving opportunity for their lights to shine out. This awful crash of breaking pitcher, followed by the sound of trumpets accompanied by the shout "the sword of the Lord and of Glideon" threw the Midianites into a panic, causing them to fight amongst themselves; 120,000 were thus slain, leaving but 15,000 of that mighty army (Judg. 8:10). In making the application to ourselves in this age, we can think of the sound of the trumpets as representing prayer or calling to God; the torches as the light of the Gospel; the pitchers our human nature, the whole as this treasure in earthen vessels. To Be Free From Sin If you would be free from sin, fly temptation; he that does not endure to avoid the one cannot expect Providence to protect him from the other. Praying One young person prayed once: "I can't hold much, but I can overflow a lot—Missionary Worker. Willful Ignorance Willful ignorance will bring terrible damnation—Spurgeon. B. Y. P. U., Nov. 28, 1926 Subj. "Opportunities in a Large City" Acts 2:5. 9-11. Golden Text, Matt. 11:21. Lesson Setting, The book of Acts, (or the doing of the apostles) seems to have been written A. D. 33, by Luke, the writter of the third gospel, He is an eye witness to much about which he writes. The lesson to-day, Missionary in its purpose carries with it the idea of a messenger and a message. Great Revival At Jerusalem on Pentecost. Every tongue seemed to have been represented in this great awaking We have therefore a happy combination. Home Mission, because it was around the home church and Foreign Missions because there were representatives from the many foreign nations. So we have to-day quite through out the civilized world especially our larger cities such as New York, Chicago, Detroit, etc. where possibly every nation is represented in the home field and so it is coming to pass because time and space has been annihilated and the world has become a neighborhood, we cannot do effective Home Mission work without affecting the Foreign Fields, nor Foreign Mission work without affecting the Home Field. The opportunities in the large cities. 1. The numbers to be reached communication. 2. Talented and efficient leadership. 3. Means of transportation and communication. 4. Opportunity of equipment and building facilities. 5. The opportunity of co-operation with the moral social and similar institutions common to cities. Our duty as Christians in the city. We should see the opportunity, feel the responsibility and grasp the opportunity. The mission program is sufficient to challenge the best in every human being. Each Christian, therefore should know the program and have a special knowledge of the part he is to play in the world's redemption. SECRET OF PENTECOST One Spirit, One Body, One Purpose. The Spirit of Christ makes one. Keep the mission fires burning ye can add mission knowledge, mission service mission money or mission prayer. QUESTIONS What is a Missionary Church? Is the responsibility of the Foreign Field as great as the responsibility of the Home Field? Does our program need to be more extensive or intensive or both? How can each Christian do some Foreign Mission work each day? Chanute, Kans., News. Chanute is still on the map and New Hope Baptist Church is still in Chanute. The season of the year has arrived when the Angel comes down and troubles the water. The water is troubled in Chanute—the revival is on.

TIME AND PLACE OF MEETINGS of the Smoky Hill River Missionary Baptist District Association and its Auxiliary Conventions and the Quarterly Board Meetings; The 24th Annual Association and Auxillaries will meet Monday before the Second Lord's Day in August as follows; Coffeyville Notes. Good service at Sun rise prayer meeting, good number on time at 6:00 o'clock. Sunday School at 9:45. Several were absent on the account of illness. At 11:20, Pastor Williams took the stand, using for his subject: "Power and Might of Christian Faith of which he has been preaching on for several Sundays, but bringing out thoughts this time as never before. It seems each time he preaches his sermons are better and better; preaching with power from on high. Every day living the life as he teaches others to live that we may receive the blessing from God as related to Him in full; using the 7th chapter of Judges for the base of his argument which he mastered in a Godly way. Just out living Gideon's triumph thru faith; whosoever is fearful, let him return from Mt. Gilead and there were 22000 returned fearful as the majority of people in the church today to under take the different tasks to put the program over for God. These people are like Gideon's band, there are too many and that class is unfit and a set back to God's work. We can't trust weak kneed Christians everytime we need them they are at a ball game on Sunday or card game on Wednesday nite when due to be at prayer meeting. Christian faith puts us in touch with God like we ought to be; when Gideon put his faith in God he realize at once, he was going to win the battle. The only faith that acts on God is that which comes from God and the out come of Christian faith is obedience. Many other things were said that were manna to our hungry souls, who thirst after rightcusness. Rev. Chas. Nix of St. John Baptist Church preached at 3:00 p. m. for the Pastor's Aid, choosing for his subject: "Amend your ways-A people with a mind to work and preach with power. Rev. P. D.

Percy Coleman, Pastor of Community Baptist Church, Central New Mexico. TEXT:—They remembered not the multitude of his mercles.—Ps. 106:7. THEME:—They remembered not. He remembered. They soon forgot his works.—Ps. 106:13. They forgot God.—Ps. 21. He remembered for them his covenant.—Ps. 106:45. INTRODUCTORY. Few things are brought out more strikingly in the Bible than the great contrast between God's ever-biding faithfulness and man's forgetfulness Psalm 100. giving a period of the history of Israel, brings this forcibly before us. Three times over in that Psalm is Israel definitely stated to have forgotten. They remembered not the multitude of his mercles. They soon forgot his works, and they forgot God. The very order in which these expressions come is significant and full of warning, that we remember not the multitude of God's Mer- (To be continued) CITY ITEMS The Cosmopolitan Dramatic Club hold its weekly meeting with Miss Gladys Hollen at 934 N.

Jordan's FINE TAILORING And DRY CLEANING concerning the sickness and death of Paul Wood. Please convey to his parents my sympathy and condolence in their hour of sorrow. Paul Wood was at one time a member of my social problem class, occasionally the tendency of race prejudice creeped out in the classroom discussion; I am sure that the spirit of tolerance which Paul displayed during those outbreaks of intolerance gained for him both the respect and friendship of his classmates. It so happens that my duties in connection with student traffic take me out in the school corridors, during those times Paul always displayed the finest possible spirit, and I grew to think of him as Paul Wood, gentleman. Sincerely, CHRISTINA ROSEDALE. St. Paul Notes. The services Sunday was marked by the splendid attendance, including the S. S. There was an interesting review of the lesson and good class reports. At the 11:00 a.m. m. services Rev. J. J. Credice delivered a Gospel message; "And now abideth faith hope and charity." That faith lifts us above all conditions. Hope is the anchor of the soul steadfast and sure. Charity is divine love that covereth all. The love that bringeth joy, peace and deliverance to the soul. The regular meeting of the A. C. E. League was held at 6:30 p. m., a special invitation is extended to all to come out join in the meetings and encourage the young people in this work. At 8:00 p. m., Rev. C. E. Brooks presched a splendid sermon. There were five, who accepted the invitation and came forward and united with the church. The Ladies Aid Society held their weekly meeting Wednesday afternoon. Preparations are still in progress for the bazaar to be given Sunday, Nov. 28th, will be observed as "Old Felks' Day with a special service and all the older members of the church will be served to a turkey dinner.

After routine of business topic on "Salvation, A Gift," was opened by Sister M. V. Fitts and discussed by Sister Maude Winfrey and others. Dr. Skinner, being with us gave us some very good points in his spiritual way. The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs James Buckner on Spring St., was burned Sunday morning between 5 and 6 o'clock. Pastor Williams and members of Calvary Church extend to them our sympathy in this sad mis fortune. No one knows the feeling of such loss, but someone, who has unfortunately been compelled to drink out of the same cup. Quiet a few of our members are on the sick list. Mrs. Bessie Rutledge is quiet sick at this writing also Sister Martha Jones. Pastor's Aid served turkey dinner at the church Sunday, a nice number being present, owing to the very Cold weather.

Official Board met on Monday nite with all officers present. Each auxiliary making a good report for the past month. Work is still going on at the church both spiritually and financially. Mrs. Mariah Clagget passed to the great beyond at the home of her son, Charles Clagget, Saturday. The funeral was hell Monday at 2.30, at the Bouser Funeral Home officiated by pastor S. A. Williams She was 90 years old. Tuesday night Club no. 4 gave dinner at the church, serving duck and things that go with it for 25 cents. You are missing some good eats when you fail to come to Calvary for your dinner Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Why do we keep an expensive Standing Army and Navy? "Readiness to serve" is the answer. Peace reigns all over the world, and yet today the Stars and Stripes float over squat, ugly warships, rakish destroyers, and vicious submarines in every one of the Seven Seas. In the far away islands of the south, pace olive-clad sentries of our outpost marine service; fortresses scattered through the length and breadth of our land, from Nome to the Canal Zone, witness the marching and countermarching of our armies. THE UNITED STATES IS PROFOUNDLY AT PEACE AND YET THE NATION SPENDS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MONTHLY ON ITS FICIITING FORCES. WHY? Because those fighting forces MUST BE KEPT ALWAYS AT A POINT WHERE THEY CAN GIVE INSTANT SERVICE IN AN EMERGENCY. Whether you believe in a large standing army or not is beside the point. ANY ARMY IS A "READINESS TO SERVE" ARMY. "Readiness to serve" is as much a problem with Kansas "What is being done in by the Electric Industry Kansas Electric "What is being done in Kansas is being done by the Electric Industry all over the nation" Kansas Gas and Electric Company The Pastor's Aid was divided in-to divisions Monday night Mrs. Elsie Chambers being elected president of division no. 1 and Mrs M.

Gas and Electric Company as it is with the United States army and navy. Every night, just at dusk, comes the emergency for which we must be prepared. In every home in the city lights flash on. Our great plants and transmission lines suddenly find themselves leaping to provide the very limits of their capabilities. If Kansas Gas and Electric Company could "average" its electric burden through the day, the production of electricity would be a much simpler and less costly thing. Smaller plants, much less expensive machinery, would be required. But Kansas Gas and Electric Company must be ready at all times to handle its MAXIMUM load, even if that maximum lasts less than two hours of the entire twenty-four. So when next you think of your electric service, think of the giant turbines, the hundreds of miles of transmission lines, the hundreds of employes, all mustered so that you may know the satisfaction which comes from INSTANT electric service every time you touch an electric button or pull a switch, no matter what time of the day or night.
