THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol.19, No.37 SIMS-BRONSON NUPTIAL. BRIDAL PARTY GIVEN MOST CORDIAL RECEPTION IN KANSAS CITY. Upon arrival at Kansas City, Dr. and Mrs. H. B. Bronson were met at Union Station by Committee from Deaton and Trustee Boards of Metropolitan Baptist Temple in a beautiful Studerbaker Conca. They were trance of their home, 852 Washington, boulevard and escorted up stairs b, the North end stalicase to evale the throng in waiting to get a glimpse of the newly wedded. Promptly at 8:30 p. m., J. Harold Brown, former schoolmate of the brille began tickling the ivory of the beautiful Remington piano and its steel strings filled the air with Mendelssohn a "Wedding Match". To the beautiful strahs S. D. Scruggs Supervisor of Schools, Kansas City, Kansas, led the brillegroom down stairs had introduced them to the waiting multitude. The reception line was them formed and the throng proceeded to welcome the happy pair. The welcome programme was opened with appropriate solo by Mr. T. H. Rynolds, Music Director, Summer High School. Welcome poem of personal origination was read by Mrs. M. C. Matthews and presented to the bride. It will be published in next issue. The address of welcome upon the part of the church was delivered most feelingly by Mrs. Wm. Frulain. Her address was composed of most choice words. Little Elizabeth Williams age 6 years, on behalf of the children delivered welcome address and presented the bride with a basket of flowers, the beauty of which bespoke the innocency and sweetness of their representation, Childhood. Until eleven-thirty almost one continuous strains of friends congratulated and welcomed the Bride-groom and passed on to be served wedding cake and cream and punch. There was enough for all who came and some to spare. The home was beautifully decorated and protraved an indescribable cheerfulness, which will never loose its luster as long as the life of the two. Lest someone be left out, who contributed to the excellency of this occasion, it is deemed not wise to mention the names. Suffice to say that everyone did his or her best and the same is appreciated by those to whom they gave the honor. Bridal presents until now are valued at $750.00 each day's mail adds more to the list. Indeed it is the opinion of the public that two giant intellects and two great spirits have united in this couple. They both are prepared thoroughly for their chosen professions and then have a variety that render them useful in other lines of endeavor. They are brain, soul, spirit and embodiment of kindness. Long live. D. r. and Mrs. H. B. Bronson. Reporter.

November 12, 1926 A. W. Ross 821 Clay St. Topeka, Kans. My dear Dr. Ross: TOPEKA, KANSAS, Nov. 27, '26 Pastors, Workers and Churches of the Missionary Baptist State Convention of Kansas: The past year of our conventional work did not measure up to the financial standard of the previous year by Fifteen Hundred Dollars. Several reasons have been suggested as to the cause, but we feel that the new program was so far in advance that all the workers were not ready for its newness, and then too the change in not keeping before the people in placard forms the amount that each church was to give, fails to keep the local members informed as to their responsibility and has lessened the interest of the church. We are sure that many of our churches can lead out in a larger way in raising the apportionment that has been given them for the district, state and foreign mission work. It seems to me that it would be a fine thing for some of the pastors of our larger churches to lead out in doing for God that which they have planned to do for Him. With some special effort and emphasis placed on our program, it seems possible that at least twenty-five of our larger churches could bring to each board from Fifty to One Hundred Dollars each quarter, and then this would not cover the obligations as have been planned by us for these churches. Is it not possible that some man o God will lead out in this larger way for the work we have planned? We will be able to help our program largely in the future and assist the overburdened pastor if we are permitted to keep before his church and its auxiliaries, by use of placards, the responsibility of the church to the state. I am asking that the workers of each district will help us adjust this by starting out the new year, 1927. This appeal comes to you for the purpose of raising Fifteen Hundred Dollars to cover the deficit of our state work and to raise One Hundred Dollars for the American Baptist Theological Seminary at Nashville, complying with the request of Dr. L. K. Williams. The letter of Dr. Williams will follow this appeal and will state for itself the cause. We are asking each church to pledge from Two to Twenty Dollars, to be given between now and the first of the year that is, sometime in the month of December. If this is done it will help us cover our deficit and relieve the embarrassment of educational work at Nashville. Man of the churches and auxiliaries of the Neorho and Kaw Valley Districts. Before whom this appeal was ridden here widowed to the work serious sums ranging from Two Twenty Dollars and some few of the chidren already sent in the amount pledged. We are asking that every church WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Dec. 3, 1926.

We are trusting that each pastor will place this appeal before his congregation for we know that the pastor is the keyman with God. It is a great thing to be a co-partner with Jesus Christ in the salvation of the world. This is God's plan on sure God can end on you. I trust that when first of the year comes and the report is printed in the Negro Star that not one church will have failed to respond and that - Fifteen Hundred Dollars will have been raised. I am asking that each pastor will do his part and if he is not able to do so, write us a letter and state the cause. A. W. ROSS. Executive Secretary and Supt. of Mission, Missionary Baptist State Convention, Kansas. I am writing to submit for your consideration a very vital question, which is the condition of the American Baptist Theological Seminary at Nashville. I am writing you because you are a member of the Education Board of the National Baptist Convention which is required to function in all National Baptist Convention educational matters. Sometime shortly after the closing of the recent session of the National Parliament Convention, Dr. Sutton R. Russell and pousser issued a diary of the Seminary. His reclamation at this time, increased our problems and produced a new situation. You can see at once the truth in the above statement when --- A. W.

Again, since the resignation, follows immediately the close of the Convention. It is not possible for the Convention to give the relief to and meet the situation as it would have, but the resignation been submitted before or at the I't. Worth meeting. Another tormenting element is the financial condition of the Seminary. It owes some debts that should have been paid before now. The question of meeting these and its current expenses is rather a disquieting, gaous one. The fact that we have consumed in advance some of the credit coming from the Southern Baptist Convention further aggravates the financial status of this institution. What amount to do in the pregnancy of this impending crisis where many tangible and intangible results are involved. Despair, sit down, whine and play the part of children? No gravity to this hour, and face the never! But let us be embolden by the sue as red-blood men. What will you do? I am suggesting the answer: The Board of Directors of the National Baptist Convention will meet in Cincinnati January 19-23, 1927 and we purpose to make the Seminary the crowning feature of that meeting. We plan to raise at this time, sufficient funds for the school to alter it clear of and safely by the financial records that are no evident and treasured. I am asking each member of the Education Board, and am THE BABY CONTEST A SUCCESS. The Baby Conttst held under the auspices of the Girl Reserve of the Wachita High School proved a wonderful success. The contest was held in connection with the Carnival given by the Y. W. C. A., at the building on Monday and Tuesday evenings, Nov. 29-30. The highest ranking baby was Little Ruby Marie Jones, daughter of Mrs. Ruby I. Jones. She received a Five Dollar gold piece for winning most place. Little Virginia McClure, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kyle McClure, gets honorable mention, being the second highest baby, a souvenir Runny bark was given to all the babies entering the Contest.

Anyone interested is asked to call Market 1106 en powering them to be the financial agent for their states and that they will collect the amounts apportioned them, and report the same at Cincinnati, where we plan to organize The Board, so it can function more effectively than it now is. Remember my dear Brother, we, the Whole race and denomination, are on trial in this Seminary matter and we must not and shall not fail. Write me at once if you will, God helping you, raise from your state, the amount I am requesting, and if you will come to Cincinnati; but before you answer those questions, kindly state what you will personally and what your church will give. Your personal pledge will greatly encourage me and inspire others, as I shall publish the same in the Voice and other papers. I shall write the president of your State Convention to concur with you on this matter. The amount for your state is $100. WRITE ME TODAY!

IC—The Message of the Book of Ruth In order to group the matter con- tained in the lesson subject, there must be swept into view the whole book of Ruth. The lesson text which is to be printed has been confined to the first chapter, verses 14:22 I. Ruth's Connection With Naomi (1:1-13). On account of famine in Batholem of Judah, Naomid with her husband and two sons sojourned in the land of Moab. After the death of her husband her two sons married Monbittish women. After a time her sons died also. After the death of her sons Naomid resolved to return to her homehomel having heard that the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread. They went to Moab to escape trouble but only got into more. It was not until Naomid was thus chastised that she resolved to return. One purpose of God's chastisement is to cause His children to return. Naomid had the good sense to recognizing that the hand of the Lord was upon her for good. When the time came for her to go, Ruth and Orpah accompanied her for a distance. This she permitted but determined to place before them frankly the difficulties which would necessarily confront them. 11. Ruth's Noble Choice (1:1015) Much as Naomi loved her daughters in law, she would not have them go into this matter blindly. She wished them to know the seriousness of their undertaking. She told them the worst that could come upon them. This principle ought to be carried out by us in all our relations in life. In this respect Jesus is our supreme example. 1 No chance to marry again Naomi told her that she had no more sons for whom she could wait. In that day to be unmarried was the greatest disgrace. Society differed then from now. No avenues were left open by which a woman could earn her living and be independent. Furthermore, it was against God's law for the Jews to marry outside of their own people. 2. She must renounce her gods Her idolatrous worship could not be carried on in the land where Gods people dwelt. This was delicately touched upon when Orpah went back (v 15) Orpah went back when it was plain there was no chance to get a husband Now Naoml puts an ad ditional test upon Ruth, that of giving up her religion. Ruth was equal to the occasion. Her mind was fully made up. She was willing to accept as her God the one who was able to produce in Hla subjects the nobility of character she had observed in Naoml Naoml's very frankness in dealing with her caused Ruth to be more determined to cust her lot with her. Ruth's position was so definite and unfaltering that the very expressions have come down to us in words which "no poetry has outrivaled, and no pathos has exceeded, and which have gone through centuries with the music that will not let them be for gotten." She was determined to share Naoml's journey, her house, her God her lot in life, and her grave III. Blessings Which Attended Ruth's Faithfulness. Ruth was never sorry for her choice, because: 1. She found the true God (1:10) 2. Instead of her heathen god who was unable to help her, she now had the living God, the God of Israel. 3. She found human friends (ch 2) 4. As she went to glean in the field she was led to the field of Bonz, a man of wealth and grace. The servants of Bonz treated her with consideration. 5. A good husband and a happy home (chs. 3, 4) 6. She not only secured a husband, but a man of God who had an abundance of this world's goods. 7. An honored place in the Israeli-ish nation (4:13, 17). Though she had to forsake her own people she became one of a nobler people. 5. She became a link in the chain of Christ's ancestry (4:18:22; cf Matt. 1:5). The one who fully decides for Christ and gives up all for Him shall gain a hundredfold in this life, and in the world to come eternal life. Depend on God Remember that nothing can ever harm you when you have given your life into the keeping of God. Man is powerless against Him who is fortified of the Almighty. You are a child of God—immune, secure.—R. J. 'Gingbell One is sure that a great deal that Jesus achieved He achieved because He was able to give this deathless hope to the hearts of those to whom He spoke.—Robert E. Speer. B.Y.P.U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYLS B. Y. 1. C. Dec. 5. 1926 Doctrinal—"Baptism." Matt. 3:17. Both Jesus and John baptised. John baptised in water, Jesus baptised in the Holy Ghost and Fire. The time of our lesson is about A. D. 26. Place, The Wilderness of Judaea. John the Baptist is the principle actor. His message, "Repent." His clothing, Camel's hair. His food, locusts and wild honey. His congregation, Jerusalem, Judaea, etc. We have before us the doctrine of repentance, confession and baptism. Repentance—think, turn, quit, face the other way. There can, however, be no Godly repentance without faith and no saving faith without repentance. Confession, this suggests two ideas an acknowledgement of our sins, and acknowledging Christ as our Savior. And now Baptism The burial in water and raising from out of the water a believer in the name of Trinity, by the authority of God, thru the church by an authority of God, by an authorized administrator. It signifies, 1. A death to the life of sin. 2. A burial from the life of sin. 3. A resurrection to a life of righteousness. 4. Ah everlasting life in Christ. Romans 0:1-11. Rev 1.18. John 14:19. It is interesting to notice that John saw nothing of baptism, which implies that it was understood that baptism followed repentance. This was an outward expression of an inward act. It is well to remember that John elonged to both the new and the old dispensation. Both Christ and John passed most of their lives under the Mosaic Law. John pointed to the Lamb of God. His work was more directly an introduction of the new era than the fulfillment of the old. As to Baptism: John Wesley says, in his note on Romans 6:4, This allusion is to the ancient manner of baptising by enscription. 1. Baptism is an act of obedience, carrying out the purpose of Infinite Wisdom and Goodness. 2. A prescribed form, as such, part of the law of God. 3. It is an act of worship, done as unto God. 4. An act of imitation. 5. An act of consecration. 6. And act of public profession: that is, an announcement to the world that we are Christ's. 7. An act of symbolic meaning teaching the principles of faith which is professed. Topics: Baptism is a Divine command. As children of heaven we are not to question our Father. No Divine utterance unnecessary. If the Word is our light and the Spirit our guide we will to obey. According To The Scriptures What is Baptism? Who are the subjects for baptism? Who is the administrator? In whom does the authority rest? Matt, 3;5,6, 13, 15, 19. Since Christ was baptised in Jordan we have a particular manner, particular conveniences and a particular administrator. May the God of wisdom and al knowledge guide our minds, consecrate our hearts in our further seac after Divine truths, is my praiser. St. Mary Bapt. Church. Rev. J. E. Douglas, Pastor We had splendid services through out the day with Sunday School beginning at its usual hour, 9:30, with Supt., Sister Ora Evans and her staff of officers present.

Williamson Hillsdale, Kansas DAY SERMON ( Continued from last issue. ) cies, we are content so often to receive them as a matter of course, without ever reflecting on the great giver of all things.' Great is his faithfulness, with shame be it said, great is our forgetfulness and ingratitude. To, many of us a happy home has been our lot all our life and because of the very fact we are apt to forget entirely that it is one of the Lord's mercies, and that it would not continue one day; if it were not His good pleasure. And so, too, if we have any success in business or happiness in our daily occupations, we are inclined to think, or at any rate to act as though we thought, this was due to our cleverness and brightness of disposition, forgetting that every thing which contributes to that happy state of affairs is a gift of God. 1. We remember not the multitude of his mercies. Day by day we are kept safe in the midst of known and unknown dankers. While others are stricken with disease or illness, we are preserved in health and strength. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed the multitude of his mercies. 2. We forget God's Work. Now, having forgotten his mercy, it is but a small step further to forget his works. Many of us thank God, have experienced the joy of salvation and have felt as though that joy would never pass away, because the happy assurance, Christ died for us is firmly planted in us. And yet, as the freshness of that joy passes away, must we not confess that also there often passes away the remembrance of the great work of our redemption and often, while we do not forget Christ died-for us, yet we forget the great price paid for our salvation. Is it not so? and if it be so, is it not also the case with regard to God a great work of creation? The sex, the rivers, the lakes; as well as the hills and the mountains, all bear witness to the might and power of God. The trees and flowers as well as the animal's life all around bear witness to the love and faithful remembrance of our creator-God. But we, although living in the enjoyment of these stated works, forget their creator like Israel of-old, we soon forget his works. 3. We forget God. The third step given in this psalm seems only a natural consequence of the other two. Having forgotten the multitude of his mercies and his works how can we be surprised when we read, they forgot God? Be ware that thou forget not the Lord thy God. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full then thine heart be lifted up and thou forget the Lord thy God which brought thee forth from the house of bondage, who led thee and thou say in thine heart my power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

Let us not forget that the sin of forgetting is indeed terrible in God's sight, as we see in Psalm 9.17. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. But thank God the Psalm does not bring before us only the dark side, man's forgetfulness, it also tells us to Gods. faithfulness. He remembered for them his covenant, while they forgot him and all his love for them and the multitude of his mercies, yet He abldeth faithful. He remembered his covenant. He is the same to day. Let us, therefore, with shame, repent of our forgetfulness and ingratitude and seek forgiveness through Jesus Christ determining we will remember his marvellous that henceforth we will be not forgetful but, in words of Psalms 105.5 works that he hath done, and as proof that we do this, let us show it in the four ways David brings before us in Psalms 105.~ 1. give thanks in our lives as well as with our lips. 2. Talk of his wondrous works. 3. Glory in his holiness. Coffeyville Notes. Service good at Calvary Sunday, Pastor S. A. Williams absent being called to Ottawa on some important matters. Rev. D. A.
