Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE , 01. 19, NO. 45, ROBESON-BROWN RECITAL A REAL SUCCESS Last Monday evening at the Wichita High School Auditorium, (Jan. 24,) proved to be another chance for Wichita to get a new version of the Negro and the talents which the Heavenly Father has placed in His great souls and minds, when Messrs Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown entertained with all Negro Spirituals and Negro Folk Songs, words and music by the Negro. They demonstrated from beginning to end, that they were masters with rare abilities to link mind, soul and spirit, and elevate to realms of noble things. The entertainment was high class and should have told the story of a struggling people with hope built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness. We can't see how any soul could have left the auditorium with even a straw to put in the way of his fellow-man. They began by begging that you "Gimme Your Hand." Every number showed that the race was moving with a determined spirit, and "I Don't Feel No Ways Tired." "Dere's No Hidin' Place" for those who would not help God carry out His purpose and the person or race that is held down, must say, "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child," while "Little David Play On Your Harp;" shows the soul is encouraged by a tone of heaven that evil doers know nothing about. Then the invitation was extended to "Wadd In De Water." O if the world was filled with the spirit of the Lord, they could sing in their souls, to "By and By," and their souls would long to go down in "Deep River" of God's Love and be a "Witness" for Jesus. "Were You there?" is a question that will be asked every soul, and if I have not made it right with God, "My Way's Cloudy" and "Nobody Knows De Trouble I See" and will then enter into a battle like "Joshua Fit De Battle ob Jericho." Thus you can see that they led us from one musical treat to another, that should have set any soul on fire. Even The Eagle writer who was so anxious to scandalize the Negro Race would have realized that out of one blood, God made all nations to dwell upon the face of the earth, and neither color nor hair make men, but it is a hidden fire in their breasts that make them walk upright, and look upright, and help others to straighten up and prove to the world that all men are their brothers and God is our Father. We hope the Eagle writer was present that he might get it fixed into his heart and mind that Christians and learned people are not afraid of each other; that he might have seen the best class of Wichita citizenry entertained and elevated and side by side and neither changed colors, nor left any whiter nor any blacker. We are afraid that the heart of the writer of that article was the blackest thing there or in Wichita; and, as the song goes, "I Would Not Give My Chance for Yours, in God's Greatlection Day." O what will my Master say when the mist has rolled away? While man is looking on the outward appearance God is looking on the heart. To those who have the best looking heart, He will say: "Come ye blest of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. The last encore (and there were several) brought "Old Black Joe," the full type of obedience and humbleness, sincerity, and trustworthiness, love and meekness, the one who will have every quality of the Saviour and be called Blest. We feel that the Book Lovers' Club assisted by the Mary B. Talbert Branch of Y. W. C. A., the Water Street Branch of the Y. M. G. A., and the Commission on Interracial Good Will of Wichita, Council of Churches have done a full year's work in bringing this great entertainment in our city and community. If the people's hearts are not r stones, they will surely melt before such powerful fires of burning souls. TO THE NEGRO CITIZENS OF WICHITA: An unfortunate, doubtless well meant, statement in a Wichita newspaper says that white and colored people are to be seated separately tonight. It gives the impression that the Council of Churches is managing the Robeson concert dictating where Negroes should sit. This statement is absolutely without authorization, and is contrary to our whole policy. We would rather cancel the whole concert than have such a wrong impression get out. I give my personal assurance that there will be no discrimination in the seating whatsoever. No plan has been devised by which there could be any. The whole purpose of our Commission on Inter-Racial Good Will is to break down these barriers between our two races. I would rather pay the entire bill for this concert myself, were I able to do so, than to give the impression that the Council of Churches is dictating where Negroes should sit. As a matter of fact this concert is by a Negro, its local sponsors are Negroes and we white people are assisting not bossing. In the name of the Council please accept our sincere regret that this newspaper item has so sadly, if innocently, twisted the facts. I am personally in charge of the seating tonight. You will be treated as citizens. WICHITA SHOULD BE ON TRIAL If the article was truly backed up by the police force of this city, then Wichita, should be on trial before the higher courts of Kansas, for over-stepping the laws of Kansas, when the orders were given to 'shoot to kill' any man found tackling a white woman or any woman for that matter, because Kansas does not believe in capital punishment, which shows that God had to do with the old citizens and law-makers, and they expressed it in the laws, giving every man a chance to do better as long as there is life. Now, this is putting too much authority and judgment in the hands of one man, who knows, when this man may have a mind to get even with some man and shoot him down without a chance. Not everything that appears to be black, is black, and nothing is as black as one may think it is, when it is gone into in the right way. There is not an intelligent Negro in Wichita who would not help bring in any Negro or any criminal for a fair trial and they do want to look to the officers of the law and as protectors according to law and not according to the wishes of some outlaws. Any time, any man wants to shoot down any man on the spot without a trial or chance before the law, he is not fit to be an officer. Every citizen of Wichita, should be on duty, bound to protect each other, and officers are simply elected or appointed to cement and carry out their wishes. Wichita, it seems that you are sowing to the winds and you will reap the whirlwind. Your sweet name and great influence on the Christian world will be the thing of the past, if some sane and sound methods are not adhered to. There is a right way to kill a dog, and the Humane Society exacts that rights, but there are some of God's children, at least by creation, who have no society on earth, seemingly to encourage or say one word in their behalf. God has moved, and moved men; suppose this race and the Christian force of Wichita, ask God to move here in Wichita. He can and He will. He can bring peace and settle all difficulties. This city needs a peace angel and not destroying anneels. Change your minds and let it be known and every citizen in this town will stand together to make this place a safe place in which to WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Jan. 28, 1927. Yours very sincerely, Ross W. Sanderson live; and will be too glad for justice to take its course. As citizens, we are only asking that all men be given an equal chance and we feel that there will be no occasion to think of the Negro as a liability, but as an asset. Wichita, should be on trial before the Higher Courts of Kansas for issuing orders for capital punishment, without a trial, when there is no law even for capital punishment with a trial. REMEMBER, THERE IS AN ALL-SEEING EYE, WATCHING YOU! DOUBLE BOARD MEETING In the beautiful Antloch Baptist Church, Cincinnati, Ohio, the National Baptist Convention with President L. K. Williams, presiding, and the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Boards with President W. H. Jernagin, presiding, met in their midwintr session. Every song, prayer, speech and sermon was edifying to souls. The financial condition is growing rapidly, they raised almost as much in the Board Meeting as they once raised in the regular session. They have made a wonderful outlay for the future of the work. One of the outstanding things done was the appointing of a committee to make permanent, the home for the sick and broken down ministers, in health, in Colorado, and the regulation of the land in New Jersey by the transferring the deeds for the other lots. A few moments of rejoicing was had by the return of Dr. Logan from the Boyd Convention. It was a treat to have Dr. Woods of the Virginia Theological Seminary, of Lynchburg, Virginia, present, and all enjoyed his response to the Welcome Address. The Boards were largely attended, practically every state in the Union was represented. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress also outlined a very constructive program for next session in June 22-26, 1927, at Nashville, Tenn. Some one has been thinking and have in store for those who will attend, one of the best and most complete programs, we have ever seen in the eleven years we have been with them. It will be a school of methods and information for all. BUSINESS OF IMPORTANCE The Negro Civic League of Wichita, which as you know was organized for the purpose of promoting economic industrial, political rights for Negroes of this community do now call a mass meeting in behalf of the Russell Brown case which is now in to be tried, Feb. 9th. This meeting is called for Tuesday, Feb. 1st at New Hope Baptist Church. Come one, Come all. Done by order of the Civic League. J. H. Credic, President; L. J. Baker, Secretary. C. M. E. MOVE INTO NEW HOME Last Sunday marked a great day in the life of the struggling members and pastor of St. Matthew C. M. E. Church, formerly located on 11th and Mosley, when they entered their new home on the corner of 8th and Cleveland. The house was well filled more room could have been used for the waiting number on the outside. The associate pastors of the city and their congregations showed their good wishes by being present. Bishop J. A. Hamlett of Jackson Tenn. was present all day and preached an excellent practical and instructive sermon at 3 p. m. Other out-of-town visitors were Rev. S. M. Graves, P. E: Rev. G. W. Goodall, ex-pastor and his choir of Eldorado, which sang at the evening service which pleased the Bishop so much, he went away praising the beautiful singing. Rev. E. L. Hollis and his choir of Newton, which was to have sung at the morning service, but failed to get there on time owing to such unfavorable weather. Three weeks ago the Stewardess Boards Nos. 1 and 2 were asked raise $50.00 each; and on Sunday morning Board No 2 Mrs. T. M. Burton president, laid on the table their $50.00; and in the evening Board No 1. Mrs. Katherine Gratton, president laid on the table their $50.00. They have in each of these boards a staff of untriring workers. Total amount raised for the day $263.40. Pav C H Close is the proud pastor of this faithful flock of earnest workers. THE EDITOR DR. P. D. SKINNER KANSAS CITY, KANS., Jan. 21 As never before the Religious Forces o' Kansas City, Kansas, have been stirred to action as the result of Union Revival held by ten Baptist churches from January 2nd to the 16th. Upward of one hundred persons were converted to righteousness and many backsliders and negligent Christians were revived and reclaimed. A spirit of unity was aroused, and cemented the churches such as has never been before. People formed acquaintances who had never met before. The Pastors' love for each other was intensified and the entire city made better. The meeting was held in the First Baptist Church, pastored by Dr. W. A. Bowren, President of the Baptist State Convention of Kansas. The Building is capacitated to seat 1,150 and each night standing room was at a premium. As early as 6:30 p. m., people were on their way to be in time to get comfortable seats, and after 7:30 to get a place to stand was comfort. This church building was finished about four years ago, and is admired for its beauty and appointment. It is the pride of its members and will stand for ages to the credit of the building ability of Pastor Bowren and the hearty co operation of its loyal members. The principal factor of the meeting was the State and National Evangelist, Rev. P. D. Skinner, D. D. Coffeyville, Kansas. When the Pastors agreed to combine for the Revival, he was the unanimous choice to the general affair, and his first message convinced all that the choice was a good one. Fortified by fifty-one years' experience in the ministerial activities, well seasoned by the many battles fought against satan and sin, the evangelist was skillful in the art of Soul-winning. His forcefulness of argument and thorough knowledge of the Bible was his armory for the fight. The throng hung on his words from start to finish and at no time were the hearers fired of listening. Knowing it is human to tire, they made themselves satisfied with his conclusion. He is indeed a venerable preacher, and in years of his ripeness should not be permitted to idle. The denomination and Christianity should be eager to gather and eat this ripe fruit,仁ened by years of experience and study—ere he is called to his reward. The writer believes that when ministers have been studious for the.....years of their.....such as the Evangelist—they should not be thrown away but heard and heeded. Brain and Spirit are the need of the hour and not mouth and lungs. Brethren, use this Evangelist. He will do the cause good. Kansas City, will testify to that An evidence of his ability, power and usefulness, the First Baptist Church Amarine, has extended him a returned engagement for the 1st of February. Finishing there he will Five Cents Per Copy St. Paul Notes. The observance of Thrift Week was the subject of an excellent sermon by our pastor, Rev. C. E. Brooks at 11 a. m. That Thrift and industry was essential to the success and general welfare of mankind. The text was selected from Gen. 13:10. "In the sweat of thy face, shall thou eat thy bread," "To work, belongs the honor of the world's advancement; must practice thrift to keep peace with the natlons as a race. Thrifty Christians are needed to uphold the Christ standards. We were pleased to have with us at the session of our Bible School, 9:45 a. m., Rev. B. R. Ross of Topeka, who is engaged in Evangelistic work. He made a good talk and review of the lesson study. Rev. Ross also preached at the evening services, 8 o'clock and was present in the A. C. E. League meeting held at 7 p. m. The Mite Missionary Society held their meeting on Friday afternoon. G. L. A. CLUB NOTES. The club met on Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. Mitt Jones, in her home on E. 9th St. Business was transacted and a round table talk, a highly pleasing piano solo was rendered by Miss Ione Work. The hostess served a delicious luncheon. They will meet next week with Mrs. Emanuel Reed, 517½ N. Main. Begin the Year Right RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION open fire at 8th Street Tabernacle. The singing was another inspiring feature. The choirs of the 10 churches combined in a chorus led by Dr. Bronson, made the songs of Zion ring. Singing, when done with the right spirit has its charm for human souls and will inspire men to righteousness. This the chorus did. They had two sessions a day, noon and evening. The noon meeting was divided into three periods, inspirational, preaching, and expression from workers, covering only one hour. Much can be done in one hour when you are organized for your work. The Pastors of the churches preached at this hour in turns and in that way the interest was intensified for the evening service. It afforded the Evangelist opportunity to hear the pastors and thereby receive strength; such as hearing other preacher brings. The evening session was divided into prayer and praise, inspirational sermon and appeal. The baptizing was had Monday night. This was a wonderful scene. The pastors (we) unanimous in election of Dr. Bronson to represent John the Baptist. The beautiful baptistry of the church was filled. The candidates were dressed; Mrs. Ida J. Wood, organist of Metropolitan Temple, presiding at the piano, led the chorus in "Where He Leads Me I Will Follow." This was continued in modulated tones throughout the baptizing. So impressive was it until soon sentiment caught the entire audience and many cried out the words. Pastor Bronson (John the Baptist) at its beginning, appeared on the scene and went "down into the water." Timed by an appointed time-keeper, he baptized 40 candidates in 15 minutes. By this you may have a basis of calculation of the baptism on the day of Pentecost. Churches and Pastors engaged in the meeting follow:-First Baptist, Argentine and Antioch, Rev. Spencer, Pastor; First Baptist, Dr. W. A. Bowren, Pastor; Pleasant Green, Dr. Geo. McNeal, Pastor; King Solomon, Dr. S. Montgomerv, Pastor; Mt. Zion, Dr. H. D. Allen, Pastor; Strangers' Rest, Dr. C. A. Washington, Pastor; Mt. Olive, Dr. E. Z. Mosley, Pastor; Walnut Boulevard, Dr. J. R. Richardson, Pastor; Metropolitan Temple H. B. Bronson, Pastor. Thus ends the report of one of the greatest meetings known in the city.

Then it follows:—1, A universal provision; 2. A universal invitation; 3. May rejectors. The Red man like all men is in- cluded in the provision and Invita- tlon .

OUR TEXT: Here we ore taught:—1, That Christ is watching the multitude. 2 That Christ is eternally interest- ed in the multitudes. 3. That Christ provides for the multitudes. | 4. That Christ Invites the multi tudes, | The passage teaches that Christ went up and then came down. If we would bless the world we must go up to God for blessings, and come down to man to bless. Every condition of human suffer- ing is included in the chapter— physical, mental, social and spirit- ual, Yet through it all, Jesus, who is the light of the world points His unerring finger to the Star of Hope. It is the atate of the soul that de- termines our heppiness. Right re- lationship with Jesus Christ {s the scurce of all our joy. THOUGHTS: Whatever we suffer for His sake ie abundantly rewarded for our! sake. We may seem to lose for Him, but we cannot lose by Him. If is better to suffer now than later, In time, rather than in eternity. It is easy to be interested in a friend, but not quite a0 easy to be interested in the masses. The church must think in world terms, since it alone has the world mes- sage. God has given the Red man s right to the blessings of the Gos- pel, The land the Indian occupies a like the land on which we live;! it belongs to God. The world’s peace will never come until the vorid accepts The Prince of Peace. We must learn to say together, with our soul, “Our Father.” QUESTIONS: 1, Has the Indian of America; ad a square deal? 2.

At 3 p. m., a special sermon was preached by Pastor Thomas to the young folks. He asked the children to all bring him an acorn and walnut as it was impossible to get the acorn, he substituted an apple seed. He preached this the most interesting sermon from Psalms 144:12, subject: "Usefulness." He told the children all about how useful the apple seed was and some of the numerous things were made from that small thing caused from an apple seed also the walnut. We were glad to have Rev. Whitmore and Rev. Daniels of the M. E. Church, with us to hear this wonderful discourse. B. Y. P. U. 6 p. m., opening by S. C. Conductor; afterwhich lesson was taught by Rev. J. S. King. At 6:45 President Brown ordered a lively 15 minutes' song service, conducted by Mrs. Metcalf. Group No. 4 continued with a splendid song service, and received highest amount of finance, but not 100%. Night service at 7:45; a very spiritual devotion led by deacons, Kevin, J. S. King read Scripture lesson. Pastor Thomas took the stand all fired up with the Holy Ghost and brought another wonderful sermon from 1 Cor. 3:9, subject: "Serving." He certainly made serving plain and clear and our hearts were made to burn while we listened to the sermon. Considering that there was so much ice and kept some away from church, but not all, service ran high all day starting with Sunday S., and continuing throughout the day. The ice did not stop the Holy Spirit. Mr. E. P. Landis is numbered with the sick. Mrs. Wm. Thomas is able to be out. The ice is causing a considerable amount of fun and lots of falls; none reported as serious yet. Rev. Father Cartwright of Coffeyville was with us last Wednesday nite and preached to us a wonderful sermon that is hard to forget, and long to be remembered. Rev. Cartwright certainly hit hard and based strongly upon the short dresses and bobbed hair. Mrs. Louise Dixon was an Independence, visitor. You may ask: how and why? You may ask now and why? Whenever an ex-service man of the late war does not think enough of the American Legion to familiarize himself with his own organization and in turn familiarize his wife his mother and sisters with it and its functioning, is striking a deathblow to the organization, that when he has hit the crutch or the cane he will wish that he had heard the cry that he is not heeding today. Today while we are in the height of our activities is when the Legion needs you, but when you have become disabled from war, or after the American Legions don't need you any more than an insurance does. We want you for your ability to serve your community, your State and Nation. You need not tell of what a hero you were during the war; but your after activities will prove all that, if you are a dead-head now, you were then—a liability rather than an asset. We solicit today, tomorrow we can refuse. Buddy, will you join today and help us fill our rightful place in the community, and help us prepare to help you when you need help! You know we as an organization can get help for you quicker than you can for yourself. Ask any veteran of any past war and see if he won't envy your opportunity. A word to wives, mothers and sisters—this whole organization is actuated by your wants, your needs, your future and your children's welfare; it may seem easy for you to come down to the Veterans' Bureau and tell them your brother, son or husband needs help, he is sick, or even dead; if you help him or encourage him to stay in the community, hid from his own buddies when he gets in trouble, you need not come running to some Legion else and sav (he was a soldier). If he hid his identity until he needed help let him keep on hiding, for it will be fair to let the dead burn the dead. Our Post meets last and 3rd Wednesdays in each month at 500 N.
