Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE CASSIMILLA HILLIAN HUBERT passed away, down in Georgia, not long ago. She left seven sons and five daughters. Let us line, these twelve descendants of one woman up before us and see what she actually left—what she really gave to the world. Here are seven sons:—Z. T. Hubert, President of Jackson College, Jackson, Misa; B. F. Hubert, Director of Agriculture, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; John W. Hubert, Principal of a Negro School, Savannah, Ga; J. H. Hubert, Executive Secretary, Urban League, New York City; Moses Hubert, Farm Demonstration Agent, Handcock County, Ga; G. J. Hubert, Pastor of two Atlanta Churches, and also runs a 600 acre farm; and Theodore Hubert, now a Senior in College. The five daughters have all ma- rried men holding important posi- tions. By the way, I neglected to mention that the mother of these I was born in slavery. So was her husband. They had no opportunity themselves to secure an education, but through self-depial they were able to educate their children. It is a mark of highest esteem, I say they gave to the world a black family of twelve without a single "White Sheep" in it. They had character, that funamental equipment for parenthood. Will some white sister please step forward with a record-equaling that of the one-time Negro slave both in number of progeny and quality of product? We pause for a response.

(Equal Rights League Service) Congratulations - pour in on soldier - personnel who presented par- petition - Race asked to join cFort - to get lost two out before Christ- mas. League thanks to opera.in organizations. BOSTON, MASS., March 14, 1921. While the soldier pardon petitions of the National Equal Rights League and presentation of petition with £2,000 signatures to Presidio collage on Doxglass Day in the White House did not bring immediate and complete pardon for the 2 remaining Houston martyrs prisoners yet the President's response to the loss of Rev. Thomas S. Harten, the soldier spokesman at the audience, author and director of the pardon drive of the League gritally pleases the race inasmuch as all will be buried within less than 6 years. The Rev. Harten, national organ of the League, has received many letters and telegrams of congratulation on the success of his petition effort and White House plea where he said, "Colored Americans are the only element who wrote ever sent 3,000 miles to fight for world democracy and then denied it on their return." His message to all who appreciate the commutation is to join the National Equal Rights League which not only got the signatures, but secured the co-operation of the other organizations in presenting it. He urges the race to thank the President and in doing so to ask that two soldiers due to be paroled in February 1928, be released for next Christmas. The League has sent letters of thanks to the National Race, Congress, N. A. A. C. P., National, Political Study Club, U. N. I. A., and National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, for consenting to representation, in the delegation, forty of which supported the petition at the White House audience. The League is proud of having held the first public protest meeting in August 1917, there demanding no more executions without presidential review, which caused President Wilson to require such review in all death penalty cases. It urged the churches to hold funerals for those executed and buried in unknown graves. The Rev. Harten did this and draped his church in mourning. The League presented the first petition to President Coolidge three months after he became president at a White House audience. It took part when the N. A. A. C. P. in 1924 presented a mammoth petition, concluding the petitioning. Thus it began the work for these soldiers and closed it with this last audience. Abilene Interests · Told Rev. S. M.

ANNOUNCEMENT SOUTHWESTERN IN THE VAN·GHARD WITH MISSIONARY PRATT, KANSAS, March 15-To Fastors and Members of the South Western District Association GREETING:—The outlook of our Missionary Work was very enoug- aging, prior to our last Board Meeting. But at our Hutchinson Board, plans were agreed upon which will place our Missionary Program in the vanguard. At this time I will not give the plan in full, but will only present a few of the man's good things which compose the whole. In our issue of April 8th, I shall endeavor to give program in full. The Board agreed upon the following: 1. That the 5th Sunday in May be designated as Mission Day. 2. That Mission Day be known as Sacrificial Day. 3. That each Pastor leave his own charge and do Missionary Wofk somewhere in the District. 4. Any church without a Pastor, and desiring to have one of our Pastors come to you on the above named Sunday, Please write me at once as these Pastors will be under the direction of the District Missionary. Again, if any Pastor or Layman, who has any suggestion to make our plans more perfect, please write me at once. Let every Mission Circle subscribe and pay for The Negro Star as this Missionary Work will be largely given through this our official paper. Workers, think this through, Fray it through, and Talk it through. Look for the Program, in full or at least more full on April 8th; but until then, believe me to be your District Missionary. NORRIS J. STOKES. EVANGELISTIC WORK IN KANSAS AND MISSOURI I am delighted to speak of the closing of our soil-saving campaign in Fort Scott. The revival there was ideal; First, Because of the united cooperation of all of the churches, and pastors, regardless of sect or denomination; Secondly, Because of the harmony of continuity, purpose, aim and motion of the Christian forces. The concentration was upon the subject of soul-winning, and every active worker, bent his energy in that direction. The fellowship was harmonious, congenial and effectuate; and the attendance was prompt, regular and enthusiastic. The daily attendance for the 10th look Bible services was remarkable and the play played in the study of the Scriptures was increasingly interesting and helpful. There was a real hungering and thriving to know the truth. Dr. Smith and some of his most active church workers contributed much in helping to make this part of our work a glorious success. We are indebted to him for the part he played in the campaign: because he went the limit, even to the calling off of his regular services on Sunday night and bringing his entire congregation to us. God bless Shiloh and Pastor. And then, the Methodist Pastor and people did some big things for the meeting. Sister Taylor, in sweet evangelistic singer of the C.M.E. Church, put her whole soul into the meeting, and thrilled everybody with her charming voice. The presiding elder, Dr. Tyler, who was in the city for the purpose of holding his quarterly meeting, stayed with us all the week; contributed his influence and counsel, which was at all times helpful and pleasing; called off his quarterly meeting and the entire congregation followed him to the meeting Sunday night of the closing, and carried by his own contribution on $2.00 and urged the people to make the contribution for me $100.00, which they did, and more. More than 17 conversions, 24 additions in all was the result of our campaign. Some of the leaders among the unsaved men, were led to Christ in the meeting; others shunned the meeting and we could not get a hold on them. M. B. Talbert Y.W.C.A.

COLORED SCHOOL IS DEDICATED IN MIAMI, FLORIDA The Washington High and Graded School of Miami; Florida was formally dedicated on Tuesday, March the first; the building was blown down last Summer by some Unknown cause and many thought it was of Incendiary origin, because of its Borderline on the white section, but an expert examination has disproved this theory. The school Building is one of the finest in the entire South having in addition to its beautiful classrooms, and gymnasium, an auditorium which seats comfortably one thousand and persons.

Assistance of a Heavenly Home (Jno. 14:1-3). The announcement concerning the death of Christ, accompanied with the shaping of events which pointed to a speedy accomplishment of the same, shuttered the disciples' hope. The Lord told them that He was going away and that they could not follow Him. This brought great grief to their hearts. They perhaps began to doubt His Messiahship, but He did not leave them comfortless. 1. He asked them to believe and trust in Himself as God (v. 1). "Ye believe in God, believe also in me." Faith in the Godman, Christ Jesus, will steady the heart, no matter how great the sorrow or intense the grief. If we will but place the cares and burdens of life upon Him our tears shall be turned into joy and our despondency transformed into a radiant hope. 2. He assured them that He was going to prepare a place for them in His Father's house (v. 2). He assured them that that place would have an abundance of room, for there were "many mansions" in His Father's house. We should learn from this that heaven is not an imaginary place. It is a prepared place for a prepared people. 3. He assured them that He would come again and escort them to heaven (v. 3). Jesus will not wait for His own to come to Him, but will personally come back to the earth and call forth from the graves those who have died in the faith (I Thess. 4:10, 17), and transform living believers and take them all to be with Himself in the heavenly home for evermore. When He said, "I will come again," He no doubt meant His personal, bodily and literal return to this earth. II. Assurance of the Resurrection of the Body (II Cor. 5:1-10). That which nerved Paul for his conflict even when physical death threatened was the assurance that even such violence would but hasten his presence with the Lord. As he faced the uncertain future he was sure: 1. That his present body was only a tabernacle, a tent in which he lived temporarily (v. 1). Though this tent were destroyed he had nothing to fear, as there was a building to take its place. This house which is to take the place of the tent is (1) From God (2) Not made with hands. (3) It is eternal. Our natural body at best crumbles to dust in about three score and ten years, but the resurrection body shall abide forever. (4) It is to be "in the heavens." (4) It is to be "in the heavens." 2. He earnestly longed for the change (vv. 2-4). The human personality instinctively shrinks from a state of disembodiment, but the intelligent Christian earnestly longs for the ex change of the natural body for the spiritual. We long to put off the perishable and take on the imperishable 3. This plan was wrought by (God (v. 5). God did not fashion the body for death, but for life. God is not the (God of the dead but of the living. 4. Believers should be of good courage (vv. 6-8). While we live in this body we are absent from the Lord, but because of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us we confidently walk by faith, being more anxious to be absent from the body and present with the Lord. 5. The believer's chief concern in this life should be to please the Lord (vv. 9, 10). Nothing matters—health, skinness, strength, weakness, fame or obscurity, friends or loneliness—provided at the end of the journey we hear the Lord's "well done, good and faithful servant." III. Glorified With the Lord (I Juo. 2:2 3). We are now God's children, but the change which awaits the resurrection has not come yet. When it comes it will reveal our wonderful future. When the Son of God shall be manifest we shall be like Him in glory. When Christ shall come again the saints shall share His glory. This glorious hope will transform the life. The one who has it will keep himself pure even as he is pure. Overcoming Temptation Every time we allow a temptation to overcome us we are weaker. Every time we overcome a temptation we are stronger.—Living Message. Should Not Serve Sin That henceforth we should not serve sin. There is no necessity to have even a single evil thought.—Echoes. The Peace of God The peace of God will keep us under every trying circumstance.—Echoes. 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. 20. Subject: "Iceligion and Life."—John 10:7-11. Iceligion is a serious and social attitude toward a determiner of destiny. The Christian religion is the right relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The true religion is life, it is the life of God in the saved, seeking to produce like character, through the Gospel. It is the perfect life in us, striving to bring forth through us the Christ-pattern of living. In our text, Jesus calls himself the door. He is the way of entrance and the only way, "I am the way, the truth and the life." He opens and shuts at His own discretion. No one else can open and shut. Christ is both the Door and the keeper. Only one true voice, this voice, each sheep knows. "A stranger they will not follow." This great DOOR opens to abundant supplies and safety. Go in and out and find pastures and protection. The mission of Christ contrasted with the mission of the eval one. I am come that they might have life and have it in abundance. The full life in abundance, running over. The Jordan River blesses the valleys by enrichment when it overflows its banks. So we bless humanity when our lives overflow with the life of Christ. Christ, the life-giving Shepherd, gave up His life to produce life in us. The Christian religion is the only universal religion whose law is love and whose language, all men understand. Then it follows that the only religion we need is the religion of Jesus, the only law we need is the law of love, and the only language we need is the language that needs no interpreter, which is The Life o. Christ applied. 1204 Cleveland Ave. Wichita, Kans. For years I have been convinced that the spiritual laws governing man's development were made by Jehovah for the production of the highest type of manhood and character. The example set is "The measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ," and as Christ himself laid everything on the altar, even so He requires of us the same standard. He said that we were unworthy of Him, unless we also took our cross. In the dedication of the tithe, the Sabbath, and the Levitical tribe, all claimed by God as His possessions, we find as a minimum of income, one-tenth; time, one-seventh; and personality, one-twelfth necessary for a normal development of humanity. When the Jews accept Christ, we shall doubtless see this illustrated, and the prophecy fulfilled. The "Kingdom of God," however, its growth and development in the life of universal man, Christ taught from beginning to end of His ministry. Before departing, He gave the same text to His disciples and taught them the prayer universal—"Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, or earth as it is in heaven." I see no hope for the establishment of this kingdom on earth until, we His followers obey literally His teachings. By this, I mean not only, paying the tithe, but actually using wealth of the world—His wealth, to day, in the lap of the American Church—for kingdom building a home and to the ends of the earth. "Lay not up for oursedves treasures on earth,..but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." I have had much joy during the past decade or two in obeying this command. Many others, I have sadly broken, but I have stood by this one, and now it is my companion. I beg of you, go and "do likewise." NOTICE! The Association of Colored Secretaries will meet in Chicago, May 24. 23, instead of Indianapolis. This is on account of the action of the Executive Committee of the Employed Officers' Conference in moving the Employed Officers from West Baden Indiana, to the Edgewater Beach Hotel, Chicago. This was on account of the unwillingness of the West Baden Springs Hotel Management to receive colored guests. (Taken from the February Secretarial News Letter, Colored Dept., National Council, Y. M.

The constitutional amendment giving the Negro the ballot was held applicable to primaries as well as general elections. However, the ruling is very much like others which have time and again affirmed the right of the Negro to vote in the South but which the federal government, for fear of violating state rights, has never seen fit to enforce. Democratic subfuges in the form of statues relating to voting qualifications prevent the Negro from exercising the franchise. In Texas, for instance, the party argued it was a white man's organization and that the primary was a private affair to select candidates from its own membership. The case was carried to the high court by L. Nixon, ElPaso Negro, who was unsuccessful in a Texas federal court in his suit for $5000 damages because he was denied the ballot.
