Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vcl.19, No.43, THE PAUL ROBESON STIRS NEW YORK NEW YORK, Jan. 14. "Black Boy' is taking its place in the New York theatrical world along with great character plays of the time, and Paul Robeson, the singer-actor, is stirring the hearts of the theatre-goers with his honest interpretation of the title character. No less famous critic than Robert Bell,(white) says of Robeson and his art: "What he (Robeson) does, is so thoroughly believed in by the actor himself that he succeeds in interpreting an emotion to his best ability and is an artist of a certain limit. I defy you to bring toward this man your usual humdrum dramatic criticism and at the same time I defy you not to be impressed by the exuberance and primitive power of his personality. He has succeeded in stirring up an appreciation of the artistic endeavor of his Race." He will appear in Wichita, at High School Auditorium, Mon-Eve Jan. 24. Cherryvale News Notes. S. S. 9:45, opened by Supt McBurrows, with good lessons and good attendance; Review by Pastor Thomas. Morning service—devotion led by Deacon Metcalf. Pastor Thomas brought a fine message from Luke 6:31; subject: "The Christian Standard;" which was well analyzed. At 3.p.m., the big 60 day drive rally ended. There were 10 captains out out, but only 7 responded and these certainly did wonderful work for the time they had, to raise the money, owing to the fact, no work going on and right in the midst of the holidays. Very glad and surprised to have Rev. Chas. Teal of Independence, and his host of good folks to come in and help us out so unexpectedly. Rev. Teal and his folks are always on the man. At 3:30 the new pastor at the M. E. Church, in person of Rev. John Whitmore preacned a wonderful sermon, found in Mark 1:17; subject: "Power and Authority;" which was certainly preached from start to finish. Glad to have such a Gospel preacher, his dear wife and son in our midst. Some of his members were also present. After his sermon Rev Teal brought another message, in short, based upon the same subject. Total amount raised by the 7 clubs during the 60 days drive was $109.95, with clubs as follows: Wide a wake, Mrs. Bessie Ratchiff, Capt., $25.15; Progressive, Mrs. Bessie Metcalf, Capt., $17.35; Good Will, Mrs. Mary Roberson, Capt. $15.85; Victoria, Mrs. Emma Wheaton, Capt. $14.00; Happy Hour, Miss Minnie Roberson, Capt., $10.25; Men's Club, Mr. McBurgess, Capt. $4.35. We wish to thank Rev. Teal and his folk, Rev. Whitmore and his folk and all the friends at large who helped us so well in our efforts and hope that we may be of some assistance to them in the future.

We take this method of taunting all of our friends, who did ever thing in their power to help us during the illness, death and funeral of our son, brother and uncle, David Green. So many were the deeds by so many of our friends until we are afraid to try to name them, knowing we can't name them all. We also ever clated the flowers, and ears during the funeral services and interment. We thank God for theirs. Yours truly, Rev. J. F. Gaeine and family. Coffeyville Notes. Sunday services were great at Calvary, the entire day and night, with Dr. W. C. Cartwright of St. Louis, Mo., conducting, with the Holy Spirit as his guide, and mum and has been accomplished this far. Ictor S. A. Williams preached at 11 o'clock service to a good crowd, choosing for his text the Lord Psa. n. "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want" illustrating the beautiful life of David, saying, "The Lord is to his what I am to the sheep." The first thing a shepherd does is to watch over the sheep that they don't astray. The same wonderfulness extended to us of how the Lord watches over us, all around us and to us; for these are certain animals that seek to destroy sheep; the same is among the Christians; the hypocrit seeks to destroy the life of Christian as an animal does the sheep. As David cart stones into the soil at times to warn them, so does Gdo throw things in different ways among His sheep to stop them before they are devoured, even if it is in the way of trouble, sickness and many other ways; at they are all stones cast in our way by our Shepherd who watches over us. We have one great blessings: 1. Makeeth me to lie down in green pastures, is the church; 2. He leadeth me beside the still waters, is the blessing coming to you by yourself; 3. My own strength over. We have something to spare for some one else; and many other good things were said. Quite a few visitors worshipped with us—Mr. Lell of Salina, new A. C. Cartwright, K. C. Mo., several from Argos, and other points. We are always glad to have visitors with us. You are all welcome.

Fliess on East Egert St. Mrs. Jenice Cairntwight and husband have gone to Ralston, Okla, for extended stay. Sunday afternoon at 5:30. Rev. Crawright preached to a large audience. A great sermon on the young people; taking for his text, Decl. II: 12: "Rejoice, O young man in thy youth and let thy heart cheer then the days of the youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know thou, that for all these things, God will bring thee into judgment;" and in his wonderful way, the Holy Spirit was with him. Our hearts were made to rejoice; the old as well as the young: two were connected with the church. The service will continue as long as the Holy Spirit guides us much good is being accomplished. Come over and worship with us as we battle against sin. The harvest is ripe and laborers are few. B. Hudson, Reporter.

They carefully review the urgent needs of the work and draw up a special appeal which will reach in a few days, taking even church and auxiliary to share in the burden on one that the are might require $10,000 to relieve the infirmities—Churches from $10,000 to $20,000; Mission Crises $500 to $10,000; Sunday Schools $500 to $10,000; and B. Y. P. Un. $1,000 to $500. This appeal is also asking that every organization that has any records on hard that can possibly be turned over, do so at once. They also carefully run over the budget, and arranged it so you can have no cause as to your part to raise; if this great cause is to roll on.

DARK STORM IS OVERBLOWN The tempert looked black and results were med serious a few weeks ago, when sentiments were being molded to brand the Negro Race as dangerous characters and should be shot down if found attacking a white woman. Now, this from the police headquarters, while there would be no chance for a trial, when the whole thing might be only a "put up job" to brand the Negro Race and may be end in a worse race riot than Tulsa, or any other place. But God works when no man can hinder, so the supposed crime wave took frailtage on Russell Brown, and thus the wise management and legal skill of Attorneys Woodard and Sowers, the facts were reviewed in two of the most serious charges, and he was freed; only holding him for robbing a little girl for a place of hamburger. We are proud of these attorneys, who championed the cause of right and gave justice a square deal. Oh if our white brothel would put some of the strength in lifting instead of crushing—America would be the home of the free.

U. at DEAR CO-WORKERS: Irrespective, Hansa In the time of toils, world upheavals and unprecedented unrest, I feel able to say as we pass along the rough roads of life which has been filled with unrelenting toil, which I pray the haven of rest which we are striving for will be the happy ending of us all. I want to further relate that sometime we as Presidents, our burdens get heavy, then we pause for a moment, then the old familiar song came to us: "Leave It There." We have found lots of comfort and consolation and as President, sometimes I have almost given up and said I just won't work more than the old hymn comes to me: "A Charge To Keep I Have a God to Glorify. I am sure we get stronger and stronger and feel more able to go on in the name of the Lord. We will not always have machine sometime there are heavy clouds that overshadow our pathway, but the Heavenly Father said He would drive all the dark clouds away if we trust in Him. While working in the service of the Lord, let us not work just to be seen of men, let us not work for form nor fashion, but let us work for the lonely sake of Jesus who died that we might have a right to the tree of life. Now I write again, we must have an everlasting home; a love like Christ has for us; a love that never New, have we a Christ like love? Beware of evil sayings; Beware of bad language; Beware of wrong doings; Beware of strong drinks; Beware of using the Lord's name in vain. These are the things all Christians should observe. a close o, saying, I assure you that I have found supreme pleasure in meeting you for the past six years, and will continue to pray that the B. P. U. will prove to be the greatest and greatest in America; that it may continue to gather new life and zeal and that we may forever go by our pledge: Relying upon Divine help I do hereby promise to serve to Christ in all things and at all times; to seek the New Testament and standards of Christian experience and life; to attend every meeting of the union unless hindered by reason and approved by good conscience, and to take part in the service aside from singing whenever it is possible to do so with sincerity and truth.—Tessie Wheaton, President. STATE COLORED WORKER PREACHES TWO SERMONS The members of the Pleasant View Baptist Church were thrilled by two good sermons preached by Dr. A. W. Ross, Executive Secretary, and Superintendent of Missions of the Kansas Baptist Convention. In the morning Dr. Ross took a text from Exodus 13:21,22, subject; "The Hand of Providence; The Pillow of Cloud and the Pillow of Fire." This was a historical discourse. In his introduction, the Superintendent impressed the value of Old Testament with its historical fact to the people of God of today. The outline of the subject; Hand of God directing, God leads the best way, God leads the right way, God leads the blessed way, God leads on the end, heaven. Dr. Ross preached at night from Luke 22:24-27. His subject was, "Service" and he impressed on the minds of his hearers, why strife and malice creep into the church and cause the objectives of the church to be neglected. The congregation was made to see the way Jesus Christ served the world. The people of Caldwell were well pleased with the sermons and wished that all the 'people of Caldwell, might have heard him. He urged forgiveness toward anyone who might mistreat us. While here he stopped at the Stallinger home and had dinner at the John Chandler home. He expressed a wish to visit other homes but was forced to pass on to another town. end, here, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Vantree.

God's Instructions to Israel as to the Use of the Scriptures (Deut 6:49). 2. The central truths to be taught (vv. 4, 5). (1) The unity of God (v. 4). (1) The unity of God (v. 4). "The Lord our God is one Lord" This was a testimony against the polytheism existing among the Gods of that day. (2) Man's supreme obligation (v. 5). "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul and mind." God should be loved with all the heart, soul and might because He is the alone and supreme God. This being the first and great commandment, we know what is man's supreme duty. 2. How these truths are to be kept alive (vv. 6-9). "These words which I command these this day shall be in thine heart" In order that God's Word might be in the heart they were enjoined— (1) To teach them diligently unto thy children (v. 7). The most important part of a child's education is that given in the home in the Word of God. (2) "Shall talk of them when thou sittest in thine house" (v. 7). This is the right kind of home life. (3) Shall talk of them when walking with our children and friends (v. 7). What more interesting, important and upifting topic upon which to converse with our friends. (4) Shall talk of them when retiring for the night (v. 7). The last thing upon which the mind should rest before going to sleep should be God and His truth. (5) Talk of them when rising in the morning (v. 7). How hitting that God should speak to us through His Word the first thing when we awake. (6) "Blind them upon thine hand for a sign" (v. 8). This was literally done by the Jews as portions of the Scriptures were worn upon their wrists. (7) "They shall be as frontlets between thine eyes" (v. 8). This also was literally done by the Jews even to wearing portions of the Scriptures in little boxes between eyes. (8) "Thou shall write them on the posts of thy house and on thy gates" (v. 9). They were to be constantly before their eyes. II. Paul's Instruction to Timothy as to the Scriptures (II Tim. 3;14-17) In this chapter Paul makes clear to Timothy that perilous times would come. False teachers would arise within the church and lead astray sentimental and unsuspecting people as neurotic women. People professing godliness would deny its power by godless living. So awful will this condition be that those who live godly lives shall suffer persecution. Paul's own life of suffering was an example of what fidelity and testimony would bring. In the last days he predicts that this attitude on the part of these false teachers would be intensified, for "evil men and seducers shall was worse and worse." In the face of such trying circumstances Paul exhorts Timothy— 1. To remain steadfast, to abide in the eternal truths which had been taught to him (v. 14). He assures him that though trying times would come and violent storms of opposition would beat heavily upon him, Timothy would find the Word of God an abiding, unshaken foundation. The Holy Scriptures will abide even when heaven and earth have passed away; therefore the necessary thing is to abide in them. 2. The knowledge furnished by the Word of God was sufficient for the perplexing and trying times through which he was to pass (v. 15). The Bible furnishes wisdom which can be found in no other place. This wisdom, as all true wisdom, leads straight to Jesus Christ, who gives salvation. 8. The Scriptures are inspired of God (v. 16). Inspiration here means "God breathed." Because of this fact they should be held with confidence. Abiding in the Scriptures will perfectly equip the minister for his work (v. 17). How Jesus Saw Men Jesus divided men into classes and no more; either on the narrow or on the broad way; either a good tree or a bad tree; either a wise or a foolish builder; in a word, either for Christ or against Illin — Plummer.

HAYES 615 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kansas. SUNDAY, JAN. 16, 1927. Subject: "Worship Regularly." Text: Psalm 93. "Worship God." "God Is A Spirit." Worship is not only a privilege, but a duty and pleasure. Our lesson teaches us to worship God. O Come. What a privilege, what a benefit, what a pleasure. "Worship:" To bow down to God, to fall down before Him, to kiss His hand. To him honor, show Him reverence. Coming into His presence with forgiveness, thanksgiving, adoration, supplication, petition, submission. Worship, is the soul in right relationship with God. We study today, first, a call to assemble in the presence of Jehovah. Second, a command to sing Jehovah. Third, Make a noise of joy, a noise of devotion to Jehovah; and Fourth, Give thanks unto Jehovah. The reasons for Worship: Man is finite, God is infinite; man is sinful, God is Holy; man is dependent, God is independent. Father, Jehovah is highest, Jehovah is strongest; Jehovah is greatest; Jehovah is best. He created all, sustains all, is over all. What Worship Should Be:— It should be sincere, it should be voluntary, it should be free, it should be regular Posture of Worship:— It should be natural, it should be reverential, it should be suggestive, The Place of Worship:— In the assembly of the saints, Zion, the habitation of His house. The place where His honor dwelleth, in our private chambers and around the family altars. Time of Worship:— We should live daily a life of worship, however, at stated times, we should assemble with the people of God for special and collective worship. Attitude of Worship:— We must worship in spirit and in truth. We must be in love with the object of worship and the worshippers. THOUGHTS: For man to worship is natural, the question is, how? I go to church to meet face to face with God and worship Him. The greatest thing any man can do is fall down and worship God. QUESTIONS What is Worship? Is Worship the motive of church attendance? Do we worship God or what He has made? O Come, let us build our altars around the Cross and keep the Altar fires burning. S THE MISSION OF THE S. S. Contestant No. 5—1st Prize Winner. Eva L. Hamilton Age 19. Bro. President, Conventional Officers, Co-Workers Honorable Judges, likewise:—Have we ever once stopped, and given our subject for this contest, a thought? Do we really know its meanings, or merely wishing to find out? Our subject is "The Mission of the S. S." We cannot go further with our subject unless we first know what "Mission" means. I have pondered in my mind and riffled the dictionary of dear Mr. Webster, seeing what it has to say about the word, and the definition given is "An organization for doing Mission Works." Bringing the meaning to a more simplefied manner, I will say, it means a Calling, Sending and a Going. We often get our organizations, (the Sunday School and B. Y. U.) mixed in their works. The Sunday School, to me, means-to teach and the B. Y. P. U., to train, I believe we now have our two main words for our title "Mission"—to go, and Sunday School to teach. We have for our subject, as I can see, "The Mission to teach in our S. Schools." Again we may say, The Mission of the S. S., means the S. S. and its works. At this time, let us pretend to organize our S. S. We first must get the idea into our minds that we want the organization; then we feel that we must have it, and will not be contented until we succeed in getting it. We must first have our chairman to preside over our temporary meeting. We now must think of our important officers; such as our Supt., Sec., and Treas., and do we know that our teachers are one of the most important official members of all? Why? Because she is to teach and to educate her scholars in the straight and narrow way of the Bible, so they may road and understand in the proper manner, the commandments and teaching of our minds Almighty God. We still have our various offices to be filled, such as the Librarian, Pencil t Charister and different committees.

For we must remember, not all can be leaders. Think of their characters, then dispositions, and ponder into your minds before you elect them, if you are going to love your leaders or not.. Get one who will play the game fairly and squarely with everyone. One who has plenty of patience, or in other words, one who has a cool mind. Then when we have our officers, remember you elected them. Please don't be the first to tramp upon their feelings. Do as you are asked, for remember, they are yours, as well as you are theirs. If our students will work together in one Christian love, I believe we could define that as "Patriotism." We have patriotism for our country, we have patriotism for our schools, and why can't we have it in our S. Schools? I'll say that we can. Indeed our modern civilization is based upon the Bible and quite naturally, the Scriptures are our best text books for patriotism. It gives a new interest and awakens the scholars' minds, but first we must know that to teach patriotism, in our S. S. or anywhere else, we must be patriotic ourselves. To me, I feel that it is best to still talk of our officers and their responsibilities before we go farther into the details of the S. S. Work. I believe we may take the S. S. as we would our family.

Our Supt., has a great responsibility, of course his work is to preside and not to teach; the teachers, to teach and not to preside. That is one place where so many of (us) leaders, fail; we know our field, but will not stick to it. Our Supt., has his work to do, he has to study his plans for the upbuilding of his S. S. Such plans for a better Treasurer, a stricter discipline for his scholars, and various things that will keep the mind occupied during all of the Sunday School period. Then too, he should remember that disorder breeds disorder. A school that is allowed to begin disorderly, will usually end the same way. He should have his work so planned that it should not be any trouble to him at all. Begin at the proper S. S., time and whatever may come or go, close at the said time. Now, to our dear, loving teachers. There is a "what," but there is also the "how." Most teachers think of "what" they are to teach, but few think of "how" they will teach it. The one word is no lesser nor greater important than the other. We should think of the different teachers, we should have in our Sunday School organization. The Primary teacher, intermediate teacher, Jr. teacher, Bible Class teacher and several others, and each should have their own manner of teaching to get their group to thoroughly understand. The primary teacher should place herself in the place of her scholars, and bring to them the simplest teachings as possible, and the same wa, with them all. THE MARSHALL LUMBER CO. 1945 N.

Subject: “Worship Regularly.” Tox«ts Pealm 95. erere o are oes. We are often speaking of man- ners, what are they? “Manners are middlemen that carry the products of your heart and brain to the hun. gry markets of your scholars’ hves. it fs said that manners maketh men, but to me and in our teachers’ estl- mation, I think, ‘Manners maketh other men,’” for the teacher has the training of the child's mind, Our teachers should always have their lessons, if by some reason you do not, for pity sahes do not let your scholars know it by telling them, “I haven't tad the time to study my lesson, and I'm afraid you children know more about it than I do,” Such admissions are weakening, unneccs- sery and harmful to your S. S., as a whole; although our teachers have five or six days in the week to study and by that time, there can be but a very few reasons why they should rot have their lessons. By all means, cear teachers, remember to be kind, cheerful, loving, sweet and gatient, und by these things, you shall be able to gar your scholars’ affections, Do you realize, co-workers, that our S. S., Is one of the greatest and most Important divisions of our church at large? Have we ever once «topped to think thgt our S. S., is the Ist stepping stone of qur future Church? Then too, our S, S., Is the cradle for it is the begirming of our teaching the glorious way of salva- tien, Could we really believe that 8 to 9 converts out of ten are, or wero S. S., attendants? Our best church co- workers, are, or were our SS, scholars, ‘ Our best, well-educated ministers and deacons wert and are S, S., stu- dents, Our very best officers and teachers were once S. S, scholars, So can you see, dear friends, that every work of the church is based upon the wonderful organization,— the S. S.? Again, let us come to the full mis- sion of the S. S., another great word we may use, is “prayer,” I believe there is a Scripture that quotes-— that “prayer” is the key to heaven and by this let us always be sincere in the words we are asking God to hear, Thgn again, we carmot leave out the word, “pep.” Wt must have our tpiritual singing services which takes the burders from our minds and makes our hearts leap with joy. Bringing my subject to a final eonelusicn, we must remember our financial system, When we were tmall probably our parents would place into our hands a penny or two ‘or our weekly collections, but as we srew older our tithings increased and by this makes us willing tithers for our church at large, We too are missionaries for our S. 3, We should go into hedges and highways, invite and bring souls to our schools, So, I say to you, that our S. #, Mission fs to lead and teach the child 'n the right way, that we may trans. ‘er them to you, for our future yhurch, Officcrs cf, the Smoky Hill River Missionary Baptist District Asso- ciation and its Auxi- jary Conventions: ASSCCIATION PROP: Moderator... .

Y. P. U, Conventicn, an] V.sitors:—It is my aim this eycning te deine the real mission of the Sunday School. I find this a dificult task since the missions of the Sunday School are numerous and far-reachirg, But In gencral, I shall say, the mission of the Sunday School is to tra’n lives to Christian ining aad to muke them effective agencies for causing the conditions of the Kingdom to corse, to so educate youth that it may be- come increasingly hard to walk the wrong way. Instead of the S. S, having become obsolete or unnecessary she has now come within sight of her true social mission. I shall try to imprecs her mission through the following three points: First, there can be no formal teaching of reiigion of the Bitle or of theology in the public school; 2nd, that the public schocl has the mis- sion of preparing hives for social suf- fiency, that is pr.paring them fcr tendering full s>rvice to vociesy; Crd, that no one can possible be suficient for modern social Irving without the 1ehigious motive, trat cduestion car never accomplish her p2:fect work without religion, . We find that thir absolute inJis- pensible elernert, which fs religion, which is not tausht in public schvols yaust be formally taught in the S, S. * The great mission of the S. S., to do what no other school may or can do is to i-zpart to the life, direct- ly, intentionally, and with all the freedom of a clear purroze aad the force of personal authority tradition, stom and affection, the Impuie«. deals and motives of true social lite.| If eddcation is fer purposes of no cial efficiency, the S, S., haa the spes, cific mission of {vrnishing to every life the only svfiicient motive, the religious motive, the motive of scil-| giving love and rervice, ' The business of the S. S., Is to fm pait to the sufficien+ motive and the methods of rigtt hfe. - Definitely, spec.t.caily and rot un- certainly, he S. 83 has en elua- tlonal mission, Mow can these motives Le lettcr tought than throush the life of cur Saviour, His Lirth, childhood rirae cles, crucifixion avd JI'e tavh'ns by perables, Asis found Jotn 5:09— “Search the Ser.rtares; for in them ye think ye havo eternal life; and they are they which tertify of mo,” 'Tis\an old saying yet It 13 trac: “That the S, S. of today shall bo the ‘church of to-morro;” therefore we shall say that St is n rtaining round ef the Church ard it is adarted to the needs of men rnd women in the midst of lifo’s busy dsys. | We can ray vith Solomon, as found Prov, 22:6—{“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when Se is old, he will not denart frem it.

A concrete example of this foresight was the construction of the big and modern power plant on the Neosho River, south and east of Parsons, and the steel tower transmission line tying in the new plant with the Wichita plant at a total cost of approximately $7,000,000. When construction was started, existing power equipment was ample to furnish the current needed by our customers. Yet the plant was built and already it is justifying the investment.

We Specialize in Cleaning and Pressing Gents and Ladies Garments LORING part of our policy of always being on the lookout to better conditions for the industries of the communities we serve. Every year we build extensions or make improvements because we anticipate a demand for them which has not yet been made. The people of the community often do not themselves realize what we are doing. We make it possible for industries to come and be provided with unlimited power at lowest cost; we provide service at prices which stimulate residential growth; we beautify the city after night; we foresee growth that is coming and provide for it in advance. In short, it is probable that your electric light and power company is one of your most consistent and successful community builders. We do not take any credit for this. It is to our own interest to stimulate the growth and prosperity of the communities which we serve. Yet the fact is there. We DO stimulate that growth and prosperity.
