Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE vol. 19, No. 46, A NEW DAY A very interesting and impressive gathering of young folks was had at Calvary Baptist Church, last Monday evening January 31st. Beginning with a delightful and appetizing supper served by the Sunday School teachers, to a hundred or more guests, at 7:30, and followed by a program of speeches and music by some of the best talent in the city. The young folks proved beyond doubt, that they had thoun't seriously about the subject on which they spoke: "What the Young People Except of the Church." The speakers had no arranged their subject matter that it would not be misunderstood by their hearers, and did not try to abuse the church nor antagonise its leadership, but tried to give them opinions in a clear manner as to what the youth of this generation expects of the Ch. Some of the things expected as brought out by the speakers were: "Free Expressions," "Encouragement." "Social and Spiritual Development." "Competent Workers," and "Trained Workers." The program as given was as follows: 1. Talk ... Miss Marie Brown 2. Solo ... Mr. Arthur DeGraferread 3. Talk ... Miss Redo, General Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. 4. Duet ... Misses Mildred Griffin and Nool Parke 5. Trik ... Miss Virginia Griffin 6. Talk ... Mr. Leslie Elchelberger of the Central Y. M. C. A. 7. Talk .....Mr. Jamqs Douglass 8. Talk .....Mr. Joseph Mason 9. Talk .....Mr. G. R. Scott Very keen appreciation is felt by the young people of Calvary for the broad-minded way in which Rev. Hawes and the older members of our church are giving them the opportunity for expression and development. It is not only that "Youth Must be Served," but that "Youth Must Serve in the places that the older workers must leave vacant in time, and they must be prepared in a more efficient manner." NO NEGRO POLICE FOR DALLAS [Boston News Service] DALLAS, TEXAS, Feb. 3—Dallas will have no Negro police during the regime of Police Commissioner, Louis S. Turley. This was Mr. Turley's final word last Tuesday on a petition filed with the City Commission last Monday by a group of Negro leaders, arking that uniformed colored policemen should be used in the Deep Elm district and in the Oak Cliff colored residential sections. "I declared before my first election as police and fire commissioner," Mr. Turley said, "that I would never use Negro police officers in Dallas. That statement stands. I reiterate it for a name reasons that I made it in the first place. There's no need for Negro police here, and where they have been employed in southern cities the results have been unsatisfactory. "The Dallas police department treated the Negroes of the city fairly. I have insisted on that sort of treatment. There have been no race riots and little friction under this system, whereas, other cities have had, these difficulties. I will not comply with the request of the petitioners." R. L. Dickson, head of the Dickson Negro orphanage, who was chairman of the committee presenting the petition, conferred with Mr. Turley, 'Tuesday, but without changing the latter's attitude on the matter. Mayor Blaylock expressed him self as favoring the request embodied in the petition. Burleigh Club Notes The Burleigh Musical Club met on Thursday afternoon in the home of Mrs. T. Fines, 401 Belmont. After a business session, refreshments were served. They will meet next week in the home of Miss I. Jackson, 712 Cleveland. The Club has arranged to render an "Artist Character Program." "Some of the Great Artists of Today," will be the special feature. Date and place will be given later. 北 ROLAND HAYES PAYS TRIBUTEAT THE GRAVE OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Roland Hayes found time, during his sojourn in the South, to visit the great Institute of Tuskegee, Alabama, and sing for its members. The tenor laid a wreath on the grave of Dr. Booker T. Washington, foun- der of Tuskegee Institute, wi E. D. Washington, the great- tor's son, and Mr. R. R. Tay- acting principal, stood beside Management Roland Hayes Symphony Hall, Boston, Ma ROLAND HAYES SPENDS CHRISTMAS 'AT HOME' (ON GEORGIA FARM LANDS) When Roland Hayes' present tour of America, was booked, the tenors first concern was to reserve the Christmas holidays for a fortnight "at home." This meant the "flat-woods" country of northwestern Georgia. The small tenant-farming community called "Curryville," where he was born, holds cherished associations for Roland Hayes. It was here that he helped maintain the scanty acres of his mother (an ex-slave) and his family of brothers and sisters. At length the Hayes family removed to Chattanooga, across the border in Tennessee, where farm boy became a "hand" at an iron foundry, attending school when he could. When he departed northwards and to Europe, to become one of the greatest tenors in history, Roland Hayes cherished "home" associations in Chattanooga, as well as in Curryville. This season he saved two weeks at Christmas for the scene of his boyhood. He had not planned to sing, but when the whole of Gordon county turned out to greet him, there was no denying them. Curryville had no town hall; in fact, Calhoun had the only one in the county. Here Roland Hayes sang to a rapt audience of friends who listened for the first time in their lives to the songs of Handel and Schubert. Another demand in the form of a telegram signed by the City Manager and Chamber of Commerce came from the citizens of "Rome," a town score of miles from the singer's birthplace, which with its 13,000 of population had once seemed to Roland Hayes, the farmer lad, the metropolis to which "all roads lead." So Roland Hayes gave a recital in Rome which was indeed a great occasion. He also made a return appearance in Chattanooga, which town holds an opinion far more than friendly, of the great tenor. While in Chattanooga, Roland Hayes visited the stove foundry where he had worked as a boy and was much pleased to find two of his former associates. Roland Hayes' tour of the southern states, just completed, included appearances in Knoxville, Tenn., Chattanooga, Tenn., Tuskegee, Ala.

PASSED TO HER REWARD --- After a lingering illness of more than two years, (sometimes able to be up and out) with a will power, which seemed to have baffled medical skill, with a consciousness to the erd, was the passing of Mrs. Ada Neely, Sunday afternoon, as relatives and friends stood around, having done all that could be done, and trying to do more. Mrs. Neely has for years been a faithful member of Calvary Baptist Church and was ever on the job when duty called, whether her strength looked sufficient or not. She will be greatly missed in both church and community. We point the family in their bereavement to Him in whom Mrs. Neely put her trust, that you may be able to be faithful as she was and meet her. She leaves a husband, daughter, sister, brothers and other relatives. Luneral was largely attended on Wednesday afternoon at Calvary.

Please permit me to speak of our Kansas City Union Meeting, which closed with a big union baptizing on Monday evening the 18th, 1927. This meeting will be long remembered, both by the writer and the people of Kansas City. The harmony and cooperation of the pastors and other ministers of Kansas City, was indeed very congenial and cordial. It was a splendid exhibition of the noble Christian Spirit and efficiency as great leaders of the Baptist forces there, committed to their care. The noonday meetings offered splendid opportunities to make manifest in 15 to 25 minute sermons the nature, character and style of preaching that the people were receiving from their pulpits, Sunday after Sunday. These sermons were delivered with power, force, simplicity and great effectiveness, that moved the hearts of the people who attended these services. They were pregnant with Gospel truths, and strictly sound in principle and Doctrine. Kansas City, cannot fail to be proud of their competent ministers, pastors and leaders. They are the type of men who make for the growth, culture and development of their constituency, and for the elevation of the Race. It also clearly demonstrated what great things can be accomplished when the Baptist churches will dismiss their narrowness and throw their forces together in a united effort to win souls for Christ. These pastors have set forth an example that is ideal and worthy of emulation throughout the state and the nation; who will be the next to follow? The writer is ready to serve the Baptists at any time, or place where there may be a desire to put on a similar program for Christ and His Cause, if sufficient notice is given me, so that I may arrange for it. In conclusion, let me state that it was my good and delightful pleasure to visit, in company with these pastors, both the junior and Senior Colored High Schools of Kansas City, Kansas, and address them. This I considered a peculiar privilege, made possible by Dr. Bronson, the noted pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, and Dr. Bowren, patsor of the 1st Baptist Church, and President of the Baptist State Convention, Dr. McNeal, the oldest Baptist Pastor in Kansas City and a successful leader of the Race, with other pastors, participating. This letter will be followed with another, soon. Yours in Christ. 13th, were held Tuesday, Jan. 18th, at 1 o'clock in the St. James Baptist Church. Rev. S. Montgomery of Kansas City, conducted the services. Pall bearer s were: Ed Evans, Joe Jabe, W. E. Carter, Manuel Collier, Alonza Walls and Ernest Harness. Although Rev. Farley had been in our midst only four months, he left a host of friends both black and white, to mourn the loss. He has left a vacancy that can never be filled. Emporia, Kansas. TRIBUTE AND RESOLUTION To Rev. L. G. Farley Whereas our Heavenly Father in His All-wise Providence has seen fit to call from labor to reward the soul of our beloved Pastor, Rev. L. G. BEGINS LIFE TERM PRAISING THE LORD BEGINS LIFE TERM PRAISING THE LORD LITTLE ROCK, ARK., Feb. 3—The passengers on a Cotton Belt train out of Little Rock, the other night were amazed and amused at the spectacle of a Negro convict who appeared suffering from an overdose of happiness as he was being whirled along to begin a life imprisonment. He was clad in strippes and hand-cuffed to a guard, which ordinarily does not constitute cause of rejoicing. Yet, at frequent intervals, the Negro gave vent to exuberant hallelujahs which resounded with full-lunged clarity above the roar of the train. "Glory to God," he shouted, God bless everybody." The passengers stared. "What's the matter with that Loy?" they inquired of one another. "Dunno, He's going to the State Farm at Cummings." "For how lon-?" "Life, I hear." Goshl And he's happy about it." The amazement of the passengers changed to understanding when they learned the identity of the noisy passengers. He was none other than George Alexander, who was saved from the electric chair on the morning of Nov. 5th, even as the machinery for the current rumbled its death message and the witnesses waited wide-eyed in the adjoining chamber. When George was called from the death cell and informed that he would not have to die; that his sentence had been commuted by the governor to life imprisonment; he linked his eyes stupidly and whispered: "Says which?" Now George comprehends but he has been unable to say much else since that memorable morning, except, "Praise the Lord." and "God God bless everybody." He considers the life term ahead of him a mere lark compared with the fate he so narrowly missed. The guard who escorted him to Cummings farm last week returned a moll's yesterday. He reported that before the train reached Cummings, the other passengers had showered George with 87 or 88, probably the last coin of the realm he will handle for many years, and maybe forever.—Pray for him. Farley who was devoted to his Ch. his friends and to humanity in general. A man who represented that type of men who were like those spoken of by our Blessed Lord, A friend who sticketh closer than a brother. His sound advice and counsel was often sought by the members; his voice was heard and heeded; his advice was sound, able and helpful. He was always willing and ready to serve and gave his church full measure of devotion. His good judgment and service will always be remembered with pleasure by those who were his co-workers. As his body lay in state so many voices were heard audibly saying—"He was a good man; he was my friend." Therefore be it resolved that the St. James Sunday School by these resolutions, express our profound sorrow at his death and we extend to the bereaved widow, the family, and friends, our deepest sympathy, praying that they will look to the Heavenly Father for solace and consolation that is impossible for human hearts to extend and in that upper world, we will meet Rev. Farley, where parting will be no more. Therefore, Be it resolved that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family, and a copy spread on the face of the Sunday S. Book. Dore in sorrow by the Sunday-school. M. B. Talbert Y.W.C.A. The Committee of Management elected officers Tuesday evening, Feb. 1.

D., Pastor of the local church, is also president of the Virginia Baptist State Convention as well as, conductor of the special drive which is now in progress all over the country for the Seminary. Rev. George W. Owens the president of the local Minister's Conference, presided over the meeting on Monday evening, and led with a check from his church. Rev. D. R. Powell and Rev. C. H. White spoke of the Seminary as a factor in racial development. Revs. J. S. Ross and D. A. Jackson delivered speeches on the "Need of an Educated Ministry." Revs. W. A. Webb and J. J. Jefferson of Salem, Va., delivered speeches and presented donations representing that city The choir of the 1st Baptist Ch., rendered splendid music for the occasion. Dr. A. L. James, Pastor of the 1st Baptist Church, made the closing speech of the evening. On Sunday evening the women had charge of the meeting; special speaker of the occasion was Dr. Page M. Beverly of Newark, N. J., Secretary of Publicity of the National Baptist Convention Inc., Dr. Beverly stressed the need of "Sane Leadership" for the Race. The white people of Roanoke, are supporting Dr. James in all movements in which he is working for intellectual and spiritual betterment of his people. Rev. W. W. Hicks, Pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church was present with a large number of his members who contributed heavily in the rally. as French Chairman since 1923 in a very lovely way, thanked the members of the Committee for the support the had given her during the time she had served as their chairman and said that she would not accept the office for another year. Mrs. L. C. McCullough was unanimously elected Branch Chairman; Mrs. C. P. Edwards, Vice; Mrs. P. B. Eates, Recording Secretary; and Mrs. F. O. Miller, Treasurer. This is the first time the Mary B. Talbert Branch has elected a Treasurer, an office made necessary because the Branch is handling all of its own finance. Heretofore the Treasurer of Central Association has done this. Mrs. Chas. Kehrs, President of the Board of Directors; Mrs. J. C. Brown, Chairman of the Inter-racial Committee and Miss Edna Louise Redo, General Secretary of Central Association, were present at the meeting and expressed their appreciation of the work Mrs. Miller has done. Many committee women spoke of the faithful service she has rendered, and all welcomed Mrs. McCullough as the new chairman and pledged their whole support to her. The appointment of chairmen for the various departments will be made later. This was deferred in order that the new chairman might have time to interview the women before making appointments. The Douglas School Girl Reserves met at the Branch Monday afternoon. Mildred Humphrey, Mary Margaret Landrum and Elizabeth Allen were reported by the advisor as having won eighty points and were given their Girl Reserve Armbands. Saturday, February 12th, will be Girl Reserve Fun Day at the Y. W. C. Every girl is invited. The Douglas School girls will have a Candy Sale in the afternoon at the Branch. AT REST 1.

LESSON SUN, FEB. 16 Subject “The Conquering Unhrist.’ Acts 26:1-23, Christ is the world’s conqueror He conquers not to destroy but tc bave and construct, Unlike civil warfare He conquer: with love rather than hate. Speaking of the conquering Christ it is well to consider as follows:— 1, His actuating motive is love; this | tells how He conquers. | 2, Sinful men or His opponents; This tells whom He conquers, 3. God's glory, to deliver up the Kingdom to God; This tells why ike conquers, Love actuates the conquering march of the Son of God and man ts the object of Its exercise, [ am come to save that which was lost; To re- concile the world to God through Himself, by the establishment of the | Kingdom of God on earth, delivering up the Kingdom of God Is the pro- “gtam of the Galilean conqueror. The Militant church is the insti tution through which He {fs working and His word {s the instrument through which Me fs working and Ilis word is the instrument, He Is wielding the aword of the Spirit as He rides triumphantly into the New Jerusalem. Thank God the Kingdom is coming this way. In our text 1, Paul speaks in self defense, 2, He gives the auto-biography of Tht hfe, a, Ills childhood; b, His religion as it was, as it Is; ¢, His loyalty to his faith. 3, He conquers through Christ, The truth is power, it makes us hold, It makes us happy, it makes us fiee. The true herald of truth fears ‘nothing but God, and hates nothing but sin. #: GLEANINGS. If a man lives what he truly be- lreves, he at least, lives true to his conscience. whatever one honestly believes to be right, he should hold firmly; however, he should not close his mind and soul to further truth. A strong intellect without God is the church’s greatest enemy, though, sometimes they seem to be used of God to so test truth as to re-affirm our faith in its eternal reality. A man should use his mind (or some one else will) but he should use It wisely, Religious beliefs determine character. All religious beliefs that do not recognize the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man, are of the Devil, No man will make a loyal soldier for Christ unless he believes in the ultimate triumph of the Gospel, the victory of the true church and the final conquest of the Conquering Christ. QUESTIONS Do you believe in the ultimate con- avest of the Gospel? What can you de best to help Christ conquer the world? Are you wielding the sword of vistory in the corner where 3ou are? When you criticize the defeat of the church have you a conquering program to offer? Has Christ con- quered your life and is He reigning now? Does the world know who is roting the empire of’ your soul? Thanks be unto God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jes- us Christ and that there can be no defeat to the roldier who marches under the banner of the cross, —— Salina, Kansas News. he ee A STORE THE HOBBY? | Dunbar 5th Grade has unique pro: Ject—Idea this year takes place of bank which saved $18.00 for kiddies last year; taught by Miss Morens , Johnston, They entertained the 4th | grade, the teachers and a few visl- tors, Tuesday 3:30 p, m., at school.

DEAR PASTORS, CHURCHES AND CO-WORKERS: In prayerful consideration of our present condition of our state and national obligations, which amounts to more than $1500.00, and of our blessed Master's Kingdom, we bring to you as heirs with Him in His Kingdom's interests, the righteous needs of our field at this time. Knowing your joy in the increase of the church and its influence among men of peace and good will, and of your loyalty to Christ in past, we therefore, ASK that you lend us your ears and give the most earnest heed to this appeal. Since you are depending on Christ to bless and support you this year, Can He depend on you to rally and raise the $1500.00 by requesting the following from your church and auxiliaries—Churches from $1000 to $2000, Mission Circles from $500 to 10.00, Sunday Schools from $5.00 to $10.00 and B. Y. P. Us. from $3.00 to $5.00? This money to be sent to our Executive Secretary, Rev. A. W. Ross, 821 Clay St., Topeka, Kansas. We are, your humble servants, Pres. W. A. Bowren, Pres. Emma Gaines, Pres. H. I. Monroe, Pres. II. T. Sims. RESPONSES TO APPEAL COMING IN SLOWLY Several have responded to the appeal by the presidents of our Conventions, for which we are thankful. Now brethren, this is the last week, Sunday, Jan. 31st; we had hoped to close the appeal, but if we have not raised the $1500.00, we will continue the appeal until every church has responded.

Tell your people about next Sunday Jan. 30th, the 5th Sunday. DON'T NEGLECT SPECIAL APPEAL DON'T NEGLECT SPECIAL APPEAL Many of the churches and auxiliaries have responded, readily, to the O.

Yes, we need you to repeat if you can, and as soon as you can, as was suggested by some who have given. Now, there are many churches that have not responded. I hope this failure on the part of some churches to respond, is not the lack of interest in the work. Not a better nor more real Missionary program is to be found anywhere than that in Kansas. It it would be a very great loss to the pastor, church and kingdom should any of the pastors or workers not catch the vision of the needs of Kansas and unite fully with its program. Bro. Pastor, please lay the work before your church, Sunday School, B. Y. P. U., and Mission and give them an opportunity to help save the credit of our denomination. Let them have a part in raising the deficits of our convention. 10. New Hope Mis. Cir. Chanute 10 00 11. Ruth Mission 1st Bapist K.C. 2.50 12. Shiloh Bapt. Ft.

King, teacher, is making a rapid growth, doing fine work. 11:15 devotion led by Sisters Metcalf, Daniel, and Walker. Pastor Thomas brought a burning message, found Mark 5:19, subject; "Our Opportunities for Mission;" was enjoyed. At 3 p. m. Rev. John Whitmore of the M. E. Church and his excellent Jr. Choir, rendered service for the Mission ladies. Rev. Whitmore can surely deliver the message and his chorus knows how to bring up the singing. He used for the discourse, "Missionaries;" Heb. 12:1. A little backing and a little more practicing and Rev. Whitmore will have one of the beat Jr. choirs in S. E. District. B. Y. P.

Throuout his discourse he dwelt on "Love." for the wife, husband, children, home, community, country and above all, God. The spirit was at high ebb. Last Friday nite, our Missionary Rev. A. W. Ross, was with us and along with his annual mission talk, he was making an appeal, a plea for more help toward mission. He preached a wonderful sermon from Ps. 1. subject: "The Godly and the ungodly." which was well explained from every angle. We are always glad to have Rev. Ross Ross with us. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Wickliff and children, Mr. Frank Roberson and sister, Nellie, motored to Chanute, where he has received employment, and Miss Nellie is taking treatments from Dr. J. H. Dixon, foot specialist.

Our policy is now and will continue to be intensive training for active participation in all community affairs wherever our graduates may choose to reside.

Every young man and every young woman enrolling in our institution must take at least 2 hours work in trade. The two units in trade become cumulative towards graduation. Closely related to our Academic work is our Musical organization from which we send out Glee Clubs, Choruses and Quartettes to give service in the communities immediately adjacent to our own. Any or all these organizations are available for service in any part of the state providing transportation can be arranged for when train service is secured. Next in importance, is our athletics, and I sometimes think it should be ranked a little higher, for physical training is a very vital part of one's education.

Brother Editor, we have scores of influential friends scattered over the state of Kansas and many of them in strategic situations, but I am afraid they are overlooking a wonderful opportunity for service not only to the Kansas Vocational School, but to the race when they fail to insist that young people from their communities, towns and cities attend our school.

THERE MUST BE A STUDENT BODY—THERE MUST BE PATRONAGE. There should also be more ministers, more Bible students, Sunday School workers and Missionaries taking the work offered in Religious education at the Seminary. I am taking this means of attempting to reach the brotherhood and friends over Kansas for more students, for an enlarged patronage. When you recall that I have not pictured our needs in an urgent plea for money or funds, but instead for more students, it seems to me that our people would become more deeply appreciative of the excellent opportunities that are now knocking at the door here in this state.
