BRILEY, Notary Public (Seal) CHRISTIAN BY MRS TESSIE STRINGER First, Dear Co-Workers:— We must have our hearts right with God, that we might do efficient work for the uplifting of fallen humanity. Second, we must love one another as God has loved us even if we know we are disliked, we should like, or rather love them more, who evil speak of us, for the Lord says, rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven and again I think in our Christian living, we should suffer a Jesus Christ has suffered, although, sometime a we think the task is too hard and the burdens are too heavy, but we should never falter, for we know the harder our crosses, the brighter our crowns. Let our attentions be called to Fit. 3:3. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasure, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another, but after our souls have been fully cleansed with the love of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, then we are really able to do real Christian living. I really feel benefitted when I do good to some one who has done me unjustly. For Matt. 5:18 says, Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven. The eyes of the world are upon every Christian so that is why we should always let our light shine by our Christian living; we should always devote our time and our talent for the cause of Christ. Be ready to do Christian service anytime, anywhere and any-place. It takes a person who is brave to be a Christian and to give the devil a blow at any time; but you surely must be born again. To be really and truly born again, causes us to help others, as well as ourselves. So let us all live the life that we might be able to do real Christian service.

Hear the Pastor's Sermon Sun. a.m. PROCTOR'S POINTS Condensed from the Sunday Sermon of the Rev. Dr. Henry H. Proctor, Pastor Nazarene Congregational Church, Brooklyn, New York. (Preston News Service) THE DOMINION OF OBEDIENCE 1. In his Roman dungeon, Paul visualized the existence, pre-existence and post-existence of Christ, residing in the valley of Time and the Mountains of eternity. 2. Descending from the manner of existence of God, he became man, slave, prisoner, and even as one dead! 3. In each form, however, he maintained the divine essence in his being, and was as much God in one as the other, only under limitations. 4. He took on these varied forms that in each he might make a new interpretation of God. 5. In every estate he played the man on earth, and earned the promotion back into the re-investment of his original glory. 6. The first step in His upward climb was parental obedience; that was the only flower that hung out side the garden wall of his infancy --obedience to his parents. 7. The second step was obed to the laws of nature; he never broke a law of nature, and was never sick, only weary. 8. The third step was obedience to his nation; he kept the laws of his race, and wept over the plight of his nation. 9. The fourth step was obedience to his God through his conscience; he walked a path as high as heaven and as deep as hell, not varying a hair's breadth. 10. As such Jesus becomes the Man of the Hour; for the world is drunk with democracy, and it's only salvation lies in the sober sense of authority vested in Christ. Before we can have democracy we must have theocracy. 'JIM CROW' MIGRATES NORTHWARD By—ELLA ALBERT BROWN, A. B. (Preston News Service) "Wrong rules the land. And waiting Justice Sleeps."— Is the Negro ceasing to be an American citizen in the North, as he has long ceased to be in the South? Such seems to be the case, judging from the objections raised in New York, against a young Negro, who applied to join the Citizens' Military Training Camp. He was refused solely on account of color. Being a Negro, means not being a citizen, so Negroes are barred from participating on those privileges that only citizens enjoy. The name Citizens' Training Camp should be changed to White Citizens' Military Training Camp. That the War Department officials deplore the fact that the race question has been raised in connection with the Citizen's Military Training Camp is putting it too mildly. The War Department should take immediate action to protect the rights of American citizens and tax-payers, at home just the same as it is now doing abroad in the East. Were Marsdon V. Burnell, Negro high school student of New York, not stamped with the stigma of color, he too could enjoy all the privileges of his classmates, but being a child of color, he has to leave his home and go to a training camp in the South, for Negroes. Could more flagrant injustice be possibly found in the smallest and meancest town, in a far off corner of the southland? This affair shows conclusively, as do other recent happenings in the North, that southern prejudice and injustice are taking deep root in this section. TO THE BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF KANSAS.

(Continued on page four) Sunday School Lesson (By REV. F. B FITEWATER D.D., Dean, Maryd Bible Institute of Chicago) (4, 1917, Western Newspaper Union) PETER AT THE TRANSFIGURATION LESSON TEXT—IX Peter 1 16-12; Mark 9 8-29 GOLDEN TEXT—And a voice came out of the clouds saying, This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Shows Peter His Glory. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Beauty and Glory of Christ. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What Peter Saw and Heard in the Mount. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC-The Majesty and Glory of Christ. I. The Meaning of the Transfiguration (II Peter 1:10-13). These verses are an inspired interpretation by one who was present and knew all that transplured. The hope of the disciples was crushed. When Christ announced His death which was to take place on the cross, they were unable to see how victory could issue from death. Jesus took with Him, Peter, James and John, and they went into the mountain by themselves. Before going into the mountain He declared that there were some standing in His presence who would not taint of death till they had seen the kingdom of God come with power. Two men from the upper world were sent to converse with Jesus about His approaching death at Jerusalem—the very thing about which the disciples refused to talk. Then, too, God's own voice was heard in words of approval of Christ's course, directing them to hear the Master. "If, Jesus Christ Glorified on the Mountain (v. 2.3), He took the disciples "by themselves" and was "transfigured before them." This shows that the purpose of the transfiguration terminated upon the disciples and not on Christ Christ's rebuke of Peter for his unwillingness to hear concerning his death apparently for a time estranged the disciples from film. His appearance on the mountain typifies his visible appearance on the Mount of Olives (Zech. 14:4, 9). III. Peter, James and John Represent Israel in the Flesh in Connection With the Kingdom (v. 2). Christ is peculiarly, the King of Israel. According to Ezekiel 37:21-27, the Israelites are to be the central people in the kingdom. This people shall be gathered from among the nations and united as one in that kingdom, in their own country. IV. Moses and Elijah Appeared in Gospels With Jesus (vv. 4-13). These men in the glorified state are typical of the saints in glory. Mines who was once denied an entrance into Palestine appears now in glory representing the redeemed of the Lord who shall pass through death into the kingdom. Elijah represents the redeemed who shall pass into the kingdom through translation. Some shall be living upon the earth when the Lord shall come and they without dying shall be changed and thus pass into the kingdom (I Cor. 13:50 53; I Thess. 4:14-18). 1. Peter's proposal (vv. 5, 6). So definitely was the method of the kingdom unfolded before Peter that he proposed to erect tabernacles for Christ, Moses and Elijah. It is true that the unveiling of the majestic person of Christ and the panoramic display of the kingdom somewhat disconcerted Peter, yet he grasped its central meaning and proposed to celebrate the advent of the kingdom which had been prefigured in a tangible way. 2. The diving voice out of the globe (vv. 7, 8). God declared Jesus to be His 'Deceived Son in whom He was well pleased. If one would know what is pleasing to God, let him study Jesus 'Christ who perfectly did His Father's will. 3. Jesus' charge (vv. 0 13). He charged them that they should tell no man concerning the things which they had seen until He had seen from the dend. V. A Demonstration of the Purposes of the Establishment of the Kingdom (vv. 14-29). When they descended from the mountain of transgression they witnessed a great multitude in a state of perplexity. The immediate cause of this state was the grievous condition of a young man possessed with a demon (v. 18). This young man's state is representative of the nations who are oppressed by the devil. Just as this young man was grievously oppressed, causing him to cast himself into the fire and into the waters, so the nations today in their great perplexity are doing the things which will result in their own destruction. Speaks for Christ Nothing speaks so loudly for Christ bad lives made good, ugly dispositions made beautiful, anger and envy bitterness made sweet.—Koehoe. Real glory springs from the silent request of ourselves. - Southern ethologist. God seen the real nobility in and blind all sincere effort—Echoes. B:Y.P.U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES! 615 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kansas Subject, "Changing the Chinese." The China is generally considered aback in civilization because aback in education, and aback in education because aback in evangelization, and aback in evangelization because the Christian forces are aback in Gospel propagation. China needs a change of heart, a regenerated society, a new vision and a Holy Passion. Deep down in her National consciousness is the dynamic urge which molds men on the Christ-Pattern and builds Nations on the principles" of eternal truth. China, like other Nations, needs the life of Christ in the life of her people. Taking her life as it is and making it what it is possible for it to become. The great commission included all nations. To the eleven (the church) the Man of Galilee gave the imperative command, "Go teach all Nations." The church was ordered to meet Christ on the Mountain to see Him, hear Him, and worship Him. But like the church today, she had her doubters. Christ declares His authority, gave His command and promised His presence. Go ye, Teach ye, Baptise ye. Go everywhere, teach everybody, Baptise only believers. Sign the document of authority, the Name, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. QUESTIONS: What change may we make to change in China? Is the restlessness in China today a signal for a better day? Is Christ getting a hearing in China? What is the greatest need of any Nation? And how may that need be supplied? TOPEKA NEWS MT. CARMEL BAPTIST CHURCH This being Faster Sunday, the day that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was risen from the dead. At 5 o'clock, Easter services were held, in the morning, and a great many attended; a high time was had by all and so filled with the spirit that it kept them in high spirit all day. Sunday School opened at 9:30 by Supt. Bro. Bills. Lesson "The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus." Matt. 28:1-10. General introduction was wonderfully explained by Sister Bessie Harris. 80 minutes devoted to lesson study; banner was awarded to class No. 1, taught by Sister Minnie Douglass. After S. School our beloved pastor, Rev. B. W. Lockett brought us a soul stirring lecture from the Sunday School lesson. A high time was spent as he talked to us. After service, as many as could joined together at the river-side on Kansas Avenue, with R. G. Grimes of New Mt. Zion, in a baptizing service. We then returned to our night services, which consisted of a wonderful program by the Sunday School, thought to be the best witnessed for some time.—Mrs. Madge Garrett, Rep. NOTICE! TO SOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT: I hereby give you our plans of Cooperation for Sacrificial Sunday which is May 29th. 1. Every Pastor, is to leave his own church and preach somewhere else in the District. 2. Each Church in the District is to raise more money on this Sunday than the average amount raised when the Pastor is there. If they fail to do this they are not counted as making a sacrifice. Then, too, each church is to take a missionary collection of 25c or more per member. This missionary money is to be reported at the Association at the hour arranged on program. This plan was agreed on at the last Board and each Pastor promised to stand by it. I am asking all pastorless churches in Southwestern District, to write me that I may have your church supplied with a preacher on the 5th Sunday in May. A special program will be sent out to all the churches in our district in due time that we may have a uniform missionary program for that day. As the Negro Star is our official organ I am asking that each Church see to it that as many copies be ordered and that one-half of the money be kept at your own organization and the rest be sent to The Negro Star. Write me any suggestion you may have that our plans may be a success. NORRIS J. STOKES, District Missionary.

REV. J. W. HAYES. PASTOR The Sunday School was entertained with an interesting program by the children's division of the S. S. Sunday morning. They showed they had had careful and skilled attention in preparing them for this program, as there were no great mistakes made by them, and some of the numbers were exceptionally good. Services began on time as usual. The pastor delivered the message from 1 Cor. 15, Sub. "Immortality." There seemed to be various positions or views taken on the doctrine of immortality; There are those who say that when this life is over, all is ended; that a deceased friend is out of his suffering. Then, there are those who believe that there is a life after death. No man who thinks of the problem of the immorality of the soul in its proper setting will commit suicide. Nature points to indications of life after death—the plant is planted life --- --- THE NEGRO STAR Is given to a new plant, but the old bulb dies. What theories obtain, there is life after death. Sunday evening the Pastor preached on "Building One's Own House." "Every wise woman buildeth her house, but a fool teareth it down with her hands." "We are builders either for God or against God." The text was developed from the following outline: 1. Where are you building? 2. With what are you building? 3. Who is building. The past month has been a very eventful month for Calvaronians in many ways. They have had good times socially and spiritually. Next month is to be equally eventful. All organizations are rallying its forces in an effort to help realize the $2000 project set for May 8.
