Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.20, No.2. SOUTHERN PAPER SAYS NEGROES ARE 'LIFTING THEMSELVES UP' LITTLE ROCK. ARK. March 29 "The Daily News" of this city, in a remarkable editorial, comments on the fact that Negroes of Little Rock, without asking any financial aid from white citizens, are to erect at a cost of $25,000 the first unit of a $175,000 Y. M. G. A Building. "The Negroes of Little Rock, are lifting themselves un," says the editorial. "We people of the South are too prone to think of the Negro in terms of the latest lynching. We often measure him by the man who mows our yards or the women who perform the menial tasks of the home. "It is quite possible we are not cognizant of the amazing strides the race itself is taking right here in our midst for its own advancement." Race Currents in South Africa Today African news finds a place in those sources of public information dealing with commerce, politics, and education, as well as religion and the missionary enterprises which it promotes. She is now a part of the moving order of the world affairs. Her products add annually increasing tonnages to the vessels which sail from her ports to the markets of the world, while her people are using the ever-increasing amount of the goods produce elsewhere. As has been and is the case in America, there is a debit side to the contact of Europeans with Africa and Africans. This is supported by instances of ruthless military and economic aggression; periods of forced labor; parts of Africa, particularly in the eastern and southern parts a question; land policy, and in some parts of the Continent a policy of legislation which almost all native Africans and many white people denounce as fundamentally unjust. On the other hand there are unde- mable benefits of the presence of European civilization in Africa. The oppression of slavery; great prayer and effort of the great Livingstone; the introduction and spread of a re- gion which led and still leads Africans to a God of love; education; improved health conditions; small but growing African leadership; all of these are mistakable and fully appreciated as sets. Besides it is with encouragement that one notes the more liberal policies to which governments are giving utter- ance, and in some instances actually putting into practice as on the West coast, for instance, and has been the case in the Transkei in South Africa for a long time. WICHITAN CLIMBING THE LADDER TO FAME WICHITAN CLIMBING THE LADDER TO FAME Despite the many difficulties, Mrs. Mollie S. Fines, is climbing the ladder to fame. Doing what few could, keeping up her daily routine and at the same time is studying with some of the best musicians in the city. She finished from The Three Arts Conservatory of Music last summer with honors. Demands came upon her and she has arranged an itinerary, taking in Dodge City, last week, where she held a mixed audience, which was delighted with her lovely Coloratura Soprano voice. She is handling with credit, music from some of the best composers the world has ever known. Topeka heard her with delight last Tuesday evening, and Pratt, was blessed with her wonderful rendition on March 29th. Miss Gladys Holder, also graduate from The Three Arts Conservatory, is her accompanist, is talented in both music and dramatic reading. This is only a miniature picture of what can be done when the aspiration is in you and what will be accomplished by these talents, who are steadily climbing. Mrs. Fines is not only scoring as singer but as a composer; one of her latest compositions, "Lifting As We Climb," is now making a record. Mrs. Fines is Chairman of the Music Department of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and above all the work she is doing, finds time to serve her church when and wherever called upon to do so.

Woodward president of the State Teachers Association and teacher-trainer in the Arkansas Agricultural and Technical College at Line bluff, evolved a plan whereby a building to house the Negro exhibits might be erected as a memorial to the Negro soldiers of Arkansas who lost their lives in the World War. As a result of Mr. Woodward's planning and the subsequent wholehearted backing of the teachers, the exhibits of the Smith Hughes teachers of agriculture, the Jeanes workers, the extension department, the colleges and other schools of the State, and the farmers and farm women, are now housed in a building located in a prominent place on the State Fair Grounds, erected by the Negro public at a cost of about $11,000. No more beautiful building may be en there than the Negro Memorial Exhibit Hall. State Fair time in Arkansas brought 110,000 people to Memorial Hall last fall. Not only a thing of beauty, built near the main entrance on the Fair Grounds, and an adequate place to display the products of the Negro farmers of the State where they can be seen by all with personal comfort the new building and its contents were put to valuable use for school purpose by the boys from Smith Luther's agricultural departments in rural schools thought-out the State. The building of the Memorial Exhibit Hall is civic achievement marking an other step in the recognition of the ability, loyalty, and cooperation of the Negroes of Arkansas.

The business men of Kansas City, under-wrote the event to the amount of $1250.00. They are planning to make it an annual affair. They are attempting big things for their young people. NOTICE! TO THE VOTERS OF WICHITA: In view of the fact that we are approaching our spring election, it behooves us to use our best judgment in the selection of men who are to be intrusted with the affairs of our city. And, because of my personal knowledge of the fairness of E. F. Bloss, I feel it my duty to recommend him to the voters of Wichita. My work has brought me in direct contact with him on many occasions, and I have always found him to be fair in his dealings with our people. A Vote for Bloss is a Vote for Us! W. M. Woods. ANSWERS THE ROLL CALL Mr. Lemuel D. Bolton, Editor of the colored page of the Jacksonville Journal, passed quietly away at his late home in the city of his labors on Monday, March 14, at 2 o'clock p. m. after a very brief illness which lasted only five days. Mr. Bolton one of the most promising young men of the race, being only 23 years old at time of his demise, was a graduate of Howard University's College of Science and Arts and held an A. B. Degree from that institution. Mr. Bolton, was at one time editor of the Florida Sentinel; he was a member of the Associate Negro Press at the time of his death. He leaves a wife, mother, sister and brothers to mourn the loss. The funeral eulogies were delivered by Rev. Page M. Beverly of Newark, Dr. John Ford of the Bethel Baptist Church, of Jax., and Rey, Scott Bartley, Pastor of the Ebenezer M. E. Church, in which the funeral was held, Friday at 1 p.m. Pall bearers were Joe James, a prominent Realter; Jack E. Ross, editor of the Sentinel; John Henty Adams, a local editor; W. H. Campbell and F. Henry Williams, local business men. In the passing of Lemuel Bolton, Florida loses a brilliant son and the Race loses a connecting link with the most eminent white men of the South. Rev. E. H. Colt of New York and Rev. J. B. L. Williams of Fernandina, Fla., took part in the funeral services. Mrs. R. A. Austin and Mrs. Daisy Harding Armstrong sang solos. ATTENTION To the Pastors, Officers and Members that are scattered throughout Southern District: This comes to remind you that our April Board Meeting will convene with Mt. Hebron Baptist Church of which Rev. J. T. Elias, D. D., is pastor; Pittsburg, Kansas, Thursday and Friday, before the 4th Lord's Day in April. I am sure that the Pastors and Officers have found it very difficult to finance their churches thro' the long winter months, notwithstanding, I am sure the Kind Hand of Providence, has safely brought it all. Dear Co-workers, in the midst of this financial crisis, we cannot afford to let the cause of the Lord suffer. Let every Pastor, Officer and Member in the District give one-tenth of all they earn during the 1st three weeks in April. If every one will decide to do this, our Board Meeting will be a great financial success. The Moderator is requesting each church, Sunday School, B. Y. P. U. and Home and Foreign Mission Circle, to represent in the April Board. I hope that the Pastors and Officers will take the initiative in the way of paying money for this forthcoming meeting. Brethren, let us not despair; if we will only rally our forces, and trust our Great Commander; He will certainly let success attend our meeting. The Moderator is urging upon the workers, from every section of the District to attend this meeting. We hope to make it a great success, because we had a great financial falling off in Oct. 1926 and Jan. 1927. We hope to make up this deficiency in this our last Board Meeting before the Association. We are asking the entire brotherhood to join us in prayer, that great financial success may attend this meeting. We are again asking the workers from every section of the District, to meet us at Mt. Hebron Baptist Church, Pittsburg, Kansas, Thursday and Friday before the 4th Lord's Day in April. Please do not fall us because we are looking for you. REV. J. T. ELIAS, Moderator, A. L.

Laden, D. D., Pastor. We found the members organized and with the Pastor, they had already started the meeting, with some happy results; and for 8 days we labored night and day, with unusual vim, and determination to put over the program for Christ, Associated with the Pastor, Rev. Morgan, Rev. Brewer, Rev. Harris and the other city pastors, and ministers, resulting in 19 conversions and 5 other additions, a total of 24 accessions in all; and both pastor and people, claim that the church and community had been helped as never before. Many confessed that they had never realized what it was to be a full-fledged Christian before and they expressed a determination to strive to live more consecrated Christian lives than they had ever lived before. It was indeed a great meeting. I am to conduct a meeting for Rev. Brewer and congregation, located almost in the same community, beginning, April 6th, the Lord wills. The writer is now at Newton, Kansas, engaged in a campaign at the Second Baptist Church, with Elder L. W. Hawkins, D. D., Pastor. We reached Newton, on the 23rd and have been hard at it ever since, both night and day and the attendance has been very encouraging, both night and day to the extreme gratification of the Pastor. The meeting each afternoon is well attended and the people rush to get there right on the minute. Thirteen conversions, and 14 additions in all, are the results to date.

F R FITZWATER, D.D., Dean, Munsey Bible Institute of Chicago) (CD 1921 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for April 3 PETER BECOMES A DISCIPLE OF JESUS LESSON TEXT—Mark 1:14-18; 29-21. GOLDEN TEXT—Come ye after Me and I will make you to become fishers of men PRIMARY TOPIC--Peter Follows J aus JUNIOR TOPIC—The Great Decision INTERMEDIATE AND BENIOR TOPIC—Making the Great Decision. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Answering Christ's Call 1. Jesus Preaching in Galilee (vv. 14, 15). The reason for Christ changing from Judae to Galilee was the growing opposition to Him. He accepted the fate of John, the Baptist, as forehadowing His own death. The rejection of the forerunner meant the rejection of Him whose advent he heralded. 1. What He preached (v. 14). The gospel of the kingdom of God which meant the good news of the near approach of the kingdom of God when the rule of God as predicted by the prophets would be realized. 2. How He preached it (v. 15). (1) "The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand." This meant that the time had now come for the appearance of the Messiah and the establishment of His kingdom. (2) "It went." This meant that the people should turn around, change their minds and attitude toward Christ and accept Him as their King. The message of repentance is one which needs to be sounded out today. (3) "Helleve the gospel." Then, as now, men needed to believe the gospel of Christ. II. Jesus Called Peter and Andrew to Become Fishers of Men. Jesus called this pair of brothers for service in His kingdom. It is usually best to perform the Lord's service in palms. This has a threefold value. It makes testimony effective; it provides fellowship on the part of workers and protection of the witnesses. It is to be noted that these men had previously been called to be disciples of Christ (John 1:36-42). They are now called to service. Observe: 1. From what they were called (v. 16). They were called from positions of definite service. They were fishers. God always chooses His servants from the ranks of the employed. 2. To what they were called (v. 17). To be "fishers of men." They no doubt had been successful fishers. The qualities which made them good fishermen, namely, patience, bravery to face the storm and darkness of the night, and perseverance, which led them to toll all night though no fish were caught, would make them good fishers of men. 3. Their obedience (v. 18). "Straightway they forsook their nets and followed Him." To obey meant sacrifice, painful separation, the giving up of all business interests and leaving father behind. Regardless of the cost, they yielded prompt obedience. III. Jesus Entering Simon Peter's House (vv. 29-31) Soon after the call of Peter and Andrew, Jesus called James and John after which they entered the synagogue at Capernaum, where He cast out an evil spirit. This miracle caused His fame to be spread abroad. 1. A loved one ill (v. 30). When Jesus entered this home He found Peter's mother-in-law with a burning fever. We know that among the closest followers of Jesus there are suffering ones and anxious and burdened hearts. To all such Jesus comes with loving sympathy and power to help. 2. "They tell Him of her" (v. 31). This was the proper thing to do. We should bring to the attention of Jesus those of our families who have need of bodily or spiritual healing. 8. He healed her (v. 31). "He came and took her by the hand and listed her up." This act showed the nearness, sympathetic tenderness and power of Jesus. At His touch the fever departed and strength was im parted to her body. 4. "She ministered unto them" (v 81). This act shows; (1) That the cure was instantaneous and complete. When Jesus heals there is no halfway business. (2) Gratitude on the part of the one healed. She thus expressed her appreciation of what Jesus had done. All those who have experienced the healing power of Jesus will express their gratitude in loving service to the Lord and His disciples. God's Indulgence God is not over-indulgent. He is too loving for that. Because He loves us, and plans for our growth, He cannot let our faults go without correction. His justice stands side by side with His mercy, and cannot be evaded or left out of account—Southern Methodist. Finding Strength Where shell we find strength for practical separation to God, except in God Himself—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. Apr. 1st. Subj. "Christ's Imperfect Saints." I Cor. 8:1-7. Idolatry is a sin against God. The worshippers of idols are not always those who are ignorant of the true God. They know but lack love to constrain them to do what they know. Knowledge puffs up but charity builds up. One may misjudge both the amount and character of his knowledge. Supreme love for God means intimate acquaintance with Him. As to eating it is not what we eat but rather the things that we think. If our thought is of one God, there will be none other to worship. To the saints there is but one God who is the Father of us all and one Christ, the Saviour of us all. As to right and wrong whatever we conscientiously believe to be wrong is a sin for us to do, and whatever we conscientiously believe to be right, is a sin for us to leave undone. We are, therefore, responsible for the light we have and the opportunities for more light. Light and love go hand in hand in building a perfect character. The Christian has both, and his growth to perfection is in proportion to his faith and earnest seeking after truth. A saint is a true believer and earnest follower of Christ. One who aims at the highest mark. One who has a perfect standard and a passion to reach it. An ideal which he strives to realize. He desires to know God, fully, serve him joyfully, and love Him supremely. The state of the saint, in time, is that of dissatisfaction and he will not be satisfied until he awakes with His likeness. The perfect baby has all the elements of manhood even at birth but time and nurture are essential to its full realization. Each moment of its life makes its contribution toward the divine purpose. So with the state of grace, a baby, youth then the perfect man in Christ. St. Mark M. E. Church, Monday—Leaders and Stewardess' Meeting. Tuesday—Teachers' Meeting. Wednesday—Prayer Meeting.

Douglas REAL SEED—SERVICE SEED! Calvary Baptist News. REV. J. W. HAYES, PASTOR Much inspiration was afforded at Calvary all day, last Sunday. S. S., was teaming with life and interest. Church services were especially well attended all day and B. Y. P. U. was effervescent of enthusiasm. Sunday morning the pastor bro't a fervent, soul stirring, Gospel message from Acts 8:28; there was much joy and as we listened. The text and subject were well developed by the pastor; many thoughts were given, which were of great and sufficient momentum to be pondered over and meditated upon. To give just a few of the thoughts, one or two perhaps—We were exhorted that we should not especially mourn for the joys come not again, for a deceased relative a loved friend or a dear one, but that we should consider that the taking of them from us, is perhaps God's plan in weaning us off from this old world. This is somewhat a poetical version of life, too, for the poets have said— "God sends us singers upon earth, With songs of sadness and of mirth, That they may touch the hearts of men, And bring them back to heaven." And Browning said: "Life's a thing to try the soul on" Another thought developed concerned the angels, "Angel" was defined as God's messenger; we are angels. Angels dd ever behold the father's face. The angels do ever God's biddings, promptly, immediately, well and sincerely." a lesson we should take to ourselves. Sunday afternoon, the pastor and Editor H. T. Sims went to Hutchinson, to be with Rev. Crawford in his revival meeting; intending to return for evening services but did not get back.
