Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE ADVISES NATION-WIDE ACTION Pressure Against Reaffirming of First Direct Federal Legislation for Segregation on Attacks Day. Easton, Mass., Feb. 28, 1927—The passage by the National House of an appropriation bill not only for the colored schools of the District of Columbia, but for separate bathing pool and' parks, a bill making a reality out of the first federal legislation for segregation, the segregated bathing pool bill of the last session, has caused the National Equal Rights League to advise a nation-wide petitioning of Congress against this new bill, already, before the U. S. Senate. Individual letters of protest to Senators and President, resolutions by every kind of race organization which meets from March 4th to 7th, and from every public meeting, sent by wire or by letter, all in the name, of Crispus Attucks, colored, first martyr to the nation, are urged by the League, to either defeat the appropriations, or at least put the race trecultably on record against segregative legislation. THE THOUGHT Following the appearance of Paul Pobson, in Kansas City, some good lady there, 'threw a fit' because he sang only the spirituals. This would have no value. If, this dear woman did not represent a great mass of Negroes, who feel that it is their great mission in the world, to apologize for the Negro Spirituals and folk Songs. Last evening, at the great First M. E. Church, (white) the entire evening was given to this music—sung by white folk. Dr. James Brett Kenna, made them the theme of his sermon. A quartett of young folk sang Burleigh's "Deep River," at the offertory. The other songs were: "Nobody Knows The Trouble—I've Seen;" "I'm Troubled In Mind;" "Standing In The Need of Prayer;" "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray;" "Steal Away To Jesus." The Fastor, a young southerner, gave an interpretation of these songs that would have done credit to any Negro Artist—W. L. Hutcherson. St. Mary Bapt. Church Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor. Sunday was a high day, beginning with S. S., at its usual hour, 9:30 good attendance. School is doing nicely under the leadership of Bro, Swan, Supt.

Invitation was extended; two came forward for baptism. At 6 o'clock, Union was opened with good attendance. Old Reliable had charge of Program and won the banner for finance. At 8 o'clock, after devotion, pastor chose text, Acts 1:8, words: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth." Theme: "And ye shall be witnesses unto thee." The Pastor preached a soul stirring sermon; seemingly, every one enjoyed same. Invitation extended, four came forward. Many visitors worshipped with us Visitors welcome at any time. Home Mission President is urging all sisters to be present every Friday at 2:30. Lewis Williams, Reporter THE RETURN OF SIMANGO Kamba Simango, born in a grass-but in the lowland or Portugal, east Africa with nothing behind him but a pagan ancestry, found his way to an dunkers school at Beiru, where he became a Christian. From there he went to Mount Silima, khoesia, in order to learn carpentry, stick-making and other arts or the white man, deciding to become a dragon-maker he worked his way to America and entered Hampton Institute. There they encouraged and made the normal school course and he so well that upon graduation they advised him to enter the College of Teachers' College, that he might have America's best. He graduated from Columba, with honor, supporting himself by laying bricks in vacation time, at $10.00 a day. He was offered a number of positions in America, but decided to return to his own people and give them the benefit of all he had received. The Congregation al Churches of Fairfield County, Conn., agreed to back him financially and the Board sent him to Lisbon, to study Portuguese, and to Angola to learn how our missionaries accommodate themselves to Portuguese officials and ways. Last fall he returned to his old home, greeted his mother and proceeded to Mount Silinda to engage in missionary work. So impressed was the British Commissioner, Mr. Nielson, with Simango's ability and bearing that he invited him to his home and then summoned the natives to meet him. Two thousand gathered at Mount Silinda, where the Commissioner, introducing Simango as an example of what education and Christianity can do for an African lad, urged them to send their children to school. Then he took him to Chikore and Tanganda and repeated the speech before other throngs. Dr. Lawrence writes that Simango has shown a fine spirit at all times and has accredited himself on every side and will undoubtedly be a great power among his people. Cherryvale News Notes 9:45 S.

Dr. Skinner appeared on the scene Feb. 6th; preached his introductory sermon. In his usual way, grasped his congregation with the power of his intellectual theological and spiritual skill, which gave rise to his many hearers becoming interested in each expected message. The evangelist conducted a splendid moon services each day; devoting one hour to the study of the Bible. This service proved to be one of the most interesting, inspiring and profitable features that had ever been witnessed, by all who attended. The Rev.

Scott, Dentist, both of Miami, were members of the reception committee. SERETARY'S TRAVELS On Feb. 3rd, we were appointed to be at Eldorado, Kansas. When we went to purchase a ticket, the agent informed us that the train was reported two hours or more late and we would not make connections at Florence, and the only way to make the engagement for 9:00 o'clock on the Srd was to go on to Wichita and then'take the bus back to Eldorado. This we did, which cost about twice the fare, but to be at Eldorado, proved to be worth several times that amount. We arrived at 8:45. Rev. J. R. Martin, the very splendid pastor of the church, met us at the station and called a taxicab, which whirled us over to the church. There we found a crowded house, awaiting our arrival. A fervent prayer meeting and joyous song service were in progress. After introduction by the Pastor, we spoke on the work and brought the message. The good people of Eldorado, were accustomed to our way and fell right in and the Holy Ghost meeting was had. We spent two nights with Eldorado. Pastor Martin is building up a great and powerful congregation, and many people are saved to the church. Nowhere in the state is there being done a finer work for Christ than that done by Rev. Martin in Eldorado. On the 4th we met a larger and more enthusiastic congregation than before. We poured our soul into the sermon. We felt the spirit. We failed to open the door of the church for members, but while we were taking collection, one young man came forward and was happily converted and was received as a candidate for baptism. The Lord was manifested and all wept and shouted for joy. Our Heavenly Father can but bless such service as Brother Martin is giving at Eldorado. There was $10.25 collected for State Work. We stopped in the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Reed, on Griffith Street. This family represents our people in a very splendid way in Eldorado. Sunday, Feb. 6, was spent at the Antioch Baptist Church, of Topeka. Pastor A. L. Branch was invited to the First Baptist Church' of Colorado Springs, Colo. The good people of Colorado are offering every inducement to influence our Topeka Pastor westward, but to no avail, if the members of Antioch have any voice. There was a great time in Antioch, Sunday. Prof. Foster, a Gospel choir leader, added much to the evening service in song. The few days of the week were spent in the office writing and answering letters. Among the letters received was one bringing very unpleasant news of the illness of our dear mother Mrs. Rhoda Jane Ross who lives at Versailles, Mo. This letter was soon followed by another, saying it was the desire of Mother Ross to see her son. Such request, compelled us to lay aside everything and hasten to the bed-side of our dear mother, who has always been a very dear mother to her seven children; four sons and three daughter, all living and have been baptized into the Baptist Church. On Feb. 12th we went to Missouri, and visited our very sick mother, spent three days with her, leaving her much improved. We solicit the prayers of the Christian family for the full recovery of Mother Ross. Tuesday, February 15th. we were back on the field, attending Board SCHOOL BOY DIES IN SWIMMING POOL (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGII, PA., March 4, David A. Fulton, Jr., aged 16 years, was taken from the swimming pool in South Hills High School, Tuesday afternoon, during the period for the swimming class, by the director of athletics in a dying condition. All efforts to resusitate him failed. Physicians say he died of a heart attack which he suffered when he dived into the pool. Meeting of the workers of Neosho Valley District Association, at Ottawa. Here is one of the best organized and spirited Associations in the State, in which all work in great harmony and union. Each department was alive to the state call and planning for the summer school and rallying their forces to Kingdom appeal at home and abroad. The Presidents of the auxiliaries:—Sister Minnie Owens, Rev. M. J. Smith and Mrs. J. W. Gordon, as well as Moderator, Rev. Jas. H. Scott, with the full co-operation of their secretaries and all other ministers and workers, Neosho is determined to "Push the battle to the Gate." This district gave $150.00 to the work. Great spiritual sermons were preached and strong inspirational addresses were delivered and several souls added to the church during the session. On the 16th, we journeyed over to Smoky Hill River District Board at Abilene. There we found the gallant hearted Moderator, Rev. G. T. Raimy, and his blazing soul workers in one of the best Board Meetings of their history. It is a settled conviction that Smoky Hill has become one of the best systematized organizations to be found anywhere. Several of the ministers could not attend but sent word and money for the Kingdom. Rev. J. W. Johnson, the Pastor of Abilene, answered the emergency call and he and his good people threw open their doors at the last moment, to the Board, when it was made known that Strong City, would not be able to entertain the meeting. Smoky Hill is always ready to help every call from the State. This was a great spiritual meeting and each messenger left the service feeling that he had in truth and in deed, mingled with Saints of God. Smoky Hill gave $100,00 to the work. We left there to keep an engagement with the good people of Frankfort, Sunday, Feb. 20th. This was our first time at Frankfort, located in the Northeastern District Association. The church membership is made up mostly of farmers and is on the Missionary Pastor list, when they have a Pastor. It is a worthy people and the day should never come when the church as it now stands should not receive help from the State. The church gave $14.00 to the work. A. W. ROSS, Ex. Secretary. NATIONAL PRESIDENT COMING --- April 7th, marks the day when Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune will be in Wichita. Kans., on her official visit in behalf of the National Association of Colored Women. She is a woman of outstanding worth to the race, who has already done something that will serve as a monument to give the next generations hope and information to march onward. We are referring to the Bethune Cookman College at Daytona Beach, Fla., worth over a million dollars. You can see readily, that she is a thinker and she will prove to you that she is a speaker of rare ability. Make your plans so you can be present—Let every member of the race hear her. She will plant in your unconscious mind, a principle that will fruit in big things for God and man. Mark the Date, April 7th, 1927. Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B FITZWATER, DP, Dean of the E Evening School, Moody Bible In- stitute of Chicago ) (© 1937 Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for March 6 SHARING THE GOOD NEWS LESSON TEXT—Acts I 4-2; II Cor 5 24-20 for Christ's Army. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Telling Our Companions About Jesus YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Christian Evangelism: Duty, Method, Results. I. Preaching Everywhere (Acts 8:4). Following the stoning of Stephen, the enemies of the Lord were more active than ever in their efforts to stamp out the new faith. With Saul as their leader they dragged men and women from their homes and imprisoned those who confessed Christ. The devil overreached himself in this for this persecution scattered the believers everywhere and they preached the gospel as they went. The time had now come for this witness bearing to extend beyond Jerusalem as the Lord had commanded. The Lord permitted this persecution so as to scatter them. II. Philip Preaching the Gospel in Samaria (vv. 5.8). Philip was one of the seven so-called deacons. He was not an apostle, nor a minister in the accepted sense of that term, but a layman. He is the only man called an evangelist in the New Testament. He is an example of what a devoted layman can do in preaching the gospel in the evangelization of the world. He went to the city of Samarra and preached Christ, showing that the purpose of God included these despised people. The fact that Philip preached Christ unto these people shows that the true evangelist's message is Jesus Christ. He did not preach Christ as an ethical teacher or an example merely, but Christ as the Savior from sin through the substitutionary offering of Himself on the cross. This is shown by the fact that he preached Christ to the eunuch from the fifty third chapter of Isaiah. He not only preached Christ as the Savior from the guilt of sin, but from the power of sin as symbolized in baptism, which means not only identification with Christ in His death, but to arise in the power of His resurrection, to walk in newness of life. Then, too, according to verve 12 he preached Christ as a reigning king. Philip's preaching was fruitful, for mutitudes believed his message which was accompanied with numerous miracles. He cast out unclean spirits, healed the palsied and the lame. Great joy accompanied the reception of the gospel by these Samaritans. III. Paul an Example of a True Preacher of the Gospel (II Cor. 5.9-20). 1. His supreme aim was to please God (v. 9). To live or to die was immaterial to him if his service was but acceptable to God. This transcendent aim was strengthened by the consciousness that every one must one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ. This aim explains Paul's devotion. 2. His consciousness of responsibility (v. 11). His sense of solemn responsibility was the explanation of Paul's behavior. Some thought that he was mentally unbalanced. His knowledge of God's holy nature and of man's sinful condition moved him earnestly to persuade men to be reconciled to God. No one who knows God's terror will be half hearted in his ministry. 3. He was constrained by the love of Christ (v. 14). This means that he was governed by Christ's love. Ministerial devotion is the expression of replicrocal love. Christ's supreme love was expressed in His death for us. Our love in return is expressed in our devotion to Him. 4. Consciousness of the God wrought change in Him (v. 17). It was because he was wrought upon by God and was therefore a new creature that he sought to do His will. The reconciliation of God through the death of Christ was his central message. In the incarnation God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Illinois. A. Paul was an ambassador sent from God to appeal to the world to be reconciled unto God (v. 20). He was the ambassador from the high court of heaven sent to this rebellious world. In a real sense, every Christian minister is occupying the same position.

The Negro Star—For the good of the People B.Y.P.U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES 615 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kansas. B. Y. P. U. LESSON, SUN. Mar. 6. Subject: "Christ, the Hope of the World." Romans 1:16, 17. Christ is the hope of all the ages, the only hope. Men have been slow to realize it or at least slow in acknowledging it, but now that all other hopes have failed, all nations, kindred and tongues are seeing and confessing, that Christ is all. Hope is a kind of anchor to which we hold until the object of our hope is realized. Faith, is the cord with which we bind ourselves to our anchor. With this tie that binds, we find ourselves calm and still in the most violent storm. It was God in Christ who made the winds behave, pushed the waters back into the channel and gave the disciples peace. Jesus is the essence of the Gospel of which Paul says, "I am not ashame." Notwithstanding, its adherence for common folk, its message simple, and its Author was hanged on a tree. But through it all, Paul realized its power for good and felt assured of its ultimate triumph over sin and satan. It is true, there are those who felt, (and they are not all dead) that that the Gospel was only for the humble in intellect, wealth and standing but be it known that the Gospel of Christ is a message to every kindred and tribe. It is good news and glad tidings, it is a good spell, it is the power of God, (God's dynamite) it is explosive, it breaks the cord that binds to sin. The Gospel, like electricity, must be touched to feel. The only conductor of the power of God, is faith. You may see the light of the Gospel without feeling its power. Paul begins with the Jews, then the Gentiles and finally the uttermost parts of the earth; Declaring Christ to be the hope of the age. THOUGHTS A world without hope is a world of torture. A hope without Christ is fruitless. All others have failed but what about Christ? The people who sat in darkness saw a great light, the Bright and Morning Star, the world's only hope. I am not ashamed of Christ and the Gospel but sometimes I fear that He is ashamed of us. NOTICE! STATE BOARD MEETING. The Mid-Winter session of the Missionary Baptist State Convention Board Meeting will be held March 17th and 18th, with Calvary Baptist Church, of Topeka, Rev. W. H. Young, Pastor.

Women have a great place and an imporfant part in the stewardship program. We are the spenders of the world’s income, The man gozs vut and earns the money and then wurns a large part of his weekly carnings over to his wife to spend. Women stand at the sluices. They turn the current either toward self or toward Christ. If the current runs swift and strong in the big flume that takes care of self, there fn apt to be a meagre trickle in the chapnel of benevolence. So one of ihe first steps in the stewardship rogram is to convert your women to the theory and practice of stew- ardship. Women are naturally religious. ‘They have a certain reverence for pererations to accept the teachings of the Bible as authoritative, Hence the first thing is to get them to see *hat the authority of the Bible stands rquarely behind our program of stew- srdship; that the Bible stands from £:rst to last, is @ Book about giving; hat the laws of God !ald down inthe “ld Testament, runs like a silver thread to the end of the New. Few realize how large a place rtewardship occupies in the Buble. The Lord Jesus says more about the \ (bligations of property than He does t about prayer, Perhaps there fs no subject of practical interest on which Te lays down such definite principles wns that of the obligations of proper- ty. See how many of tho parables are devoted to warnings against cov- etousness and the abuse of wealth. ee how {enderly He warns us against the anxiety to be rich, and pgainst the dependence yon gold, rather than c+ Cod, How solemnly Tle tells us that we cannot be the slaves of gold and f God; that we must be mastered either by the spjr- itual or by the material—we can not with all our hearts serve both, Lbelieve that a good stiff course * Rohle doctrine regarding steward- ship, fs the best preparation that can made to win women over to be ronsiatent tithers and stewards of the manifold wisdom of God. The The theory of stewardship ts much larger than the question of tithing. It means fundamentally an accep- tence of the fact that we own noth- ing, It means fundamentally an ac- ceptanes of the fact that won of noth- tng, but God owns everithing; that He makes us his stewards, to admin- fater His bounty as trust funds for gl. time, and that He holds us respon- ;rible for or administration of the “trust. After winning the assent of the women to the theory that under- lies tithing, we need to enlist ther in Hill River Missionary Baptjst District Asso- ciation and its Auxi- iary Conventions: ASSOCIATION PROPER: Moderator,..........

Sister Geral- the practice of tithing. We never will get tithing families until we have tithing mothers; nor tithing husbands antil we have tithing wives; for the woman who spends the money will never spend it wisely nor religiously until she conies to ac- cept, with all its implications, the theory of God's ownership of every- thing that she possesses, But wo- men once converted are the best propagandists of stewardship, It s more important to get a whole Mis- elonary Society to talking about stewardship than to get three ser- mons delivered; for what the women talk about, is what later goes into the church program. All unknowingly we women have done a great deal to debase the prac- tice of the church in regard to givin,’ ‘We have talked too much, Lillipu- tian heresy—little prayers and little offerings, and mites, and gatherings up of pennies; and we have talked and prayed too little of the giving that goes down to the quick, in the offering of all that one has for the service of the kingdom. There are many women in all our churches who give a large check for the work of the Child Welfare Soclety or the Charities’ Ald or the Young Women’s Christian Association, who make a meagre gift to the Mission Society. This {s because they do not realize its magnitude or Its importance, T am convinced, after some years o! atudy that what we need Is one more revival—a revival of the real spirit of giving, and when that comes the Kingdom of Heaven will come, too, “as the dewn comes up hke thunder,” SPECIAL APPEAL!

ATTENTION KAW VALLEY DISTRICT ASSOCIATION The February Board Meeting which was to have been held with the Baptist Church of Rosedale, Ks., Rev. A. B. Fuller, Pastor, has been Postponed. Instead of this meeting, the Board will meet with the State Board which convenes in March in Topeka. This will mean the saving of the expense of one of the meetings, which meets the approval of all concerned. This affords more time for the brethren to raise their assessm for the quarter. Let us, therefore, do our best and make a greater showing at Topeka. Rev. W. H. Young, D. D., Mod. H. B. Bronson, Cor. Secretary. WARNING TO THE NEGRO There is a dangerous undercurrent in Wichita, that means destruction in an unlimited way; so we are asking every Negro to watch for strange things and temptations. Many traps, are set to disgrace and revenge the devices of low classes of whites in this city. We are reading the signs. Just a few days ago, 3 well dressed white girls visited nearly every Negro office and business in the 5th and 6th blocks on North Main with no expressed reason that would suffice the trips, seemingly, laying themselves liable for approach. You would not have had to specialize in science to know this was not a good motive, but a planning of a good motive, but a planning of same low class, who would rather see Wichita, in ashes than have the "Dove of Peace" abide. It is the plan of the Devil, and his plans a ways lead to destruction. We advise that the Negro keep close to his God for direction in thought and action, and steer clear of any and all dangers or things you don't understand. Make friends of everybody, by being a friend, and in the days of peril the victory will be won with honor. Tabernacle Baptist Rev. Wm. McIlveen, Pastor Sunday was a busy day, S.
