Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE UNFROCKING THE KLAN A death blow was dealt to the Ku Klux Klan by the Superior Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, when Judge Abernathy ruled, that every name on the roster of the Klan must be made known to the Court and the public. This decision was handed down in order to ascertain names of witnesses to disclose the secret speech made to the Klan, last February, by the Grand Dragon James Esdale. The significance of this decision lay in the fact that it may result in the legislature of the State passing a statute against the wearing of masks to conceal illegal and unlawful acts.

THE SPRING EXODUS (Preston News Service) Not a few of the statements which are being served up with rich journalistic sauce concerning this spring's Negro exodus from such "choice" southern debarkation points as Birmingham, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Memphis, are one hundred per cent of the Baron Munchausen variety, "rich" in the punch, but "shy" in staying powers. They are serving well to "Barn-umize" two types of zealous citizens—the "weakbacks" of the North and the "canvasbacks" of the South. In other words, those of the North, who, for social reasons, wish the Negro migrants would stay in the Sought are living amid fear and trembling; while those of the South who want the coiled brother to stay "down. home" for economic reasons, are also hysterical. It is said by the white journalists that Louisiana has organized herself, not for the purpose of showing her own graces, but rather, in order to portray the evils of cities like New York, Detroit, and Chicago, in which, it is said, the poor Negro migrants of Dixie will have hard sledding. It is said that the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce has employed agents to watch all out trains and entreat the migrants to "stay put" in Alabama. A statement from Arkansas portends to show that the unsuspecting Negroes are being lured to fields of political vice, greed and exploitation, where honesty is not the best policy. Amid all this eight and ten-point type which is being set up colereing Negro migration, not one word is found to describe L-I-B-R-T-Y, not even the citation of one precedent from the days of Manes on through to the Pilgrim Fathers and the days of '49 to show that people have always migrated in groups and classes. They always will—white, black, yellow, red, and brown. The ignorant foreign classes, low, perhaps in Americanism, but high in brotherly love and respect, have been emigrating to America for years. May not a few groups of Negroes change their bed and board—and is there not enough police power and zeal to give them protection and to preserve social equanimity and Civilization? Topeka News Notes CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. W. H. Young, Pastor. The weather was unfavorable last week, but the revival went on with several added to the church. On account of the high water in Arkansas, Dr. Caver was not able to be with us as he planned; but the pastor was able to get Dr. S. Montgomery of Kansas City, who will be with us 2 weeks. S.

Williams of Coffeyville, has gone, but he leaves behind him an open road of salvation; he drew out the stones cast up a highway that all Topeka, shall ever look upon as a memory of him and the work of the Master. Hundreds pin their signature to a standing invitation to Rev. Williams, D. D. Rev. Williams spared no pains in preaching, what is known as the whole Gospel. The Ministry who heard him took on new life, mended their steps, took new courage; the memberships of all the churches were much improved by his preaching and made personal confession in large numbers, to prove better workers in the work of the Master's Kingdom. Rev. Williams, assisted by Pastor Branch, held two meetings each day: in the afternoon and evening. Ten days of consecrated service was rendered. One may ask, did it pay? Rev. Williams held one service at K. V. School, where 12 souls were happily converted. The President, E. E. Weaver and Dean Scruggs of the Baptist Theo. Seminary is to be complimented for their zealous services rendered Rev. Williams during this special service at the school. Dr. Williams leaves in Topeka a multitude of disciples at the close of this Evangelistic Campaign. 63 souls were ready for baptism; three reclaimed, a total of 66 persons. The Pastor, members and friends of the Antioch Baptist Church, take this occasion to say to all pastors and churches who need help of any evangelistic nature, send for Rev. S. A. Williams of Coffeyville, a man on experience in pastoring, a man with a gift, specialist in evangelism, a profound thinker and one of logical reasoning. (The Power of the Holy Spirit still Broods.)

She was laid to rest in Louisiana, Mo., her pastor, Rev. J. W. Hayes, was present to assist the Pastor at Louisiana, Mo., in eulogizing this noble woman. She was one woman on whom you could count as doing her whole duty and fretting it the others did not, theirs. She was studious and sought to prepare for any new obligation placed upon her. Every walk of life in Wichita, will miss Mrs. Gertrude G. Walton. Every phase of the work in Calvary baptist Church, will miss her activities, instructions and leadership; in first she was the best prepared woman in the church, when it came to every phase of the work. She did not know how to say No! when duty called. You could count on her at any and all services. As the Proverbo goes: "When you are best prepared to live, you are best fitted to die," rang true in her life and death.

MAYSVILLE, MO. April 28—Sarah Duncan, 65 year old servant, was awarded $24,000 by a jury in Circuit Court here Wednesday afternoon, from the H. Clay Duncan estate of Osborn Mo. The jury deliberated about five hours, returning with a 10-2 verdict. When the verdict was read in court many of those who attended the trial gathered about the elderly woman and congratulated her. The woman originally had sued for $80,000, the amount which she claimed was due her for lifetime wages in the Duncan household. Under the statutes of 1865 interest could not be compounded on money due through a verbal contract, and the petition of the plaintiff was amended, cutting the sum asked, from $80,000 to $24,000, the amount claimed to be due her plus simple interest for forty-seven years.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Peter Grieves Jeus aus and I Sorry. 10-How Jesus is Denied Today. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- 10-The Danger of Sudden Temptations 1. Peter's Downfall (Mark 14:20-71). This began when he refused to hear about the cross and ended when he, with a foul oath, declared: "I know not the man." When the disciples would no longer hear Christ's message about the cross, they not only ceased to grow in knowledge, but they began to deteriorate in moral discernment and were exposed to the possibility of the shameful denial of their Lord. Steps in Peter's backsliding: 1. Overweaning self-confidence (vv. 29-31). His unwillingness to face the cross alienated him from Jesus and when apprived of the fact that the disciples would all forsake Jesus, Peter declared that Jesus was certainly mistaken, saying: "Although all shall be offended, yet will not l." Our condition is most perilous when we are most sure of our safety. 2. Sleeping at the post of duty (v. 37). In one short hour the very one who was so confident of his self-sufficiency had fallen asleep instead of watching. The only way to escape from back-siding is to watch. 3. Lack of prayer (v. 38). The legitimate inference from the Lord's words "watch and pray" is that he had commanded them to pray as well as to watch. The reason there is so little prayer is due to the lack of the sense of need of God's help. 4. Misguided seal (v. 47). Peter drew a sword and cut off an ear of a servant of the high priest (John 18:10) when they came to arrest Jesus. He was thus zealous for the Lord. He was trying to make up in outward service his conscious lack of communion. 5. Followed Jesus afar off (v. 54). Christ's rebuke for taking the sword and the awkward position in which his act had placed him, caused him to follow afar off. He keenly felt Christ's reprimand. Following Jesus afar off got him into trouble. 6. Warmed himself at the enemy's fire (v. 07). This fire was built by those who had come unsympathetically to witness the crucifixion and even to mock in this tragic hour. For Christ's disciples to try to get comfort from the things prepared for the satisfaction of His enemies is sinful. Many professing Christians are living a life of compromise, even attempting to get pleasures out of the things which the enemies of Christ have prepared for themselves. 7. Open denial (vy. 00-71). Step by step downward Peter went until the words of a servant girl provoked open and blasphemous dental. This even by one who had said: "If I should die with thee I will not deny thee in any wise." Peter's trouble began when he shrank from the cross. It was that shunning which separated him from contact with God. It should be remembered that there can be no backsliding until there be established a position from which to slip. Many of the so-called backsliders have never been born again. 11. The Repentance of Peter (Luke 22.61 62). 1. The look of Jesus (v. 61). This was a most wondrous look. It was doubtless filled with pity and pain. Christ knew the trials through which Peter and the other disciples would pass and He prayed for them. This look brought to Peter the full consciousness of his cowardice and dis loyalty and his blasphemous words of denial, and yet it displayed His pity and forgiving love. 2. Peter's bitter tears (v. 02). 2. Peter's bitter tears (9, 62). The look of Jesus brought conviction of sin. It called to mind his boastfulness and cowardice. How awful must have been his condition as he went out that night into the darkness, little suspecting that there would be found a way to get back into communion with his Lord. Doubtless the message from the women as they came from the tomb brought the first good cheer to his heart. Christ said to them: "Go and tell my disciples and Peter." This encouraged him, no doubt, as it indicated Christ's particular consideration and love for him. Two Things Needed There are two things that they need to possess who go on pilgrimage; courage and an unspotted life.—John Bunyan.

"Christ's Secret of Fellowship." Phil. 2:1-11. Eternal realities are visible to natural eye. Power and life are never seen. We only have manifestations. The secret of many years of Holy Wedlock is secured in the personalities of the wedded. They themselves cannot see, but my, how keenly they feel the tie that binds them close together. So, with Christ's secret of Fellowship, invisible, infallible, incomprehensible. Its mystery and evidence are the occasion for the most profound interest and reverence. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him; and He will show them his covenant. Ps. 24:14. His secret is with the righteous. Prov. 3:32. The subject carries the idea of Christ sharing with the believer His deeper mystic self, a gradual revelation of Divinity as the friendship grows in intimacy. The consolation in Christ; the comfort of His love; the fellowship—or sharing with with Him and the occasion of sympathy. God wills that we have joy, full. one mind, one lover, one purpose. That we crucify pride, cultivate humility, give our brother the preference, consider others first. Possess the Christ mind. Christ was (and is) equal with God, but He became officially inferior to man, in order that He might save the sinner. He submitted and divested Himself, promised and met death on the cross, surrendered to the monster, for the time being, but renewed the fight in the grave, took the sword of the spirit, the sting out of death, robbed the grave of its victory, left the door unlocked and signaled the dead in sin and trespasses to wake up, arise and walk out into freedom. For this mighty deed God honored and exalted Him, and love and worship—a mighty name God has given Him. His name is known in heaven with the angels and in hell with the demons. And His mighty influence is felt in every soul and in some way expressed on every tongue. All nations desire to sing the song of Redemption and nature joins in singing His glory, while the angels cast their crowns at His feet add sing, Holy, Holy, Holy. We will have no difficulty in having fellowship when we have the secret. We will know how to shake hands and will enjoy it when we know Him, who came to make us one. As the church renews its covenant, it should remember the hand of fellowship. CONGRESS RATES ATLANTA, GA. MARCH 30, 1927. Sunday School and B. Y. P. U.

W. Gordon Iola, Kansas Vice Pres......Mrs. I. M. Hughes Ottawa, Kansas 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. TO THE BAPTIST OF KANSAS SUNDAY SCHOOLS This will call your attention, the Annual session of the Kansas Baptist State Sunday School Convention of Kansas which will convene with the Maple Street Baptist Sunday School of Independence, June 16, and 17, 1927, unless a change in date is made on account of the SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS.

HAYES, PASTOR The State Missionary, Dr. A. W. Ross, was with us on Sunday, and preached a spiritual sermon from 1st Division of Psalms. Before entering into his message, he gave very interesting remarks concerning the work of the State in its Missionary Program. He urged those who were fortunate to save money and give it to the cause of the unfortunate in our own fair State. Rev. Ross gave a very detailed account of the work that is ours as Christian Missionaries, to do. Dr. Ross' message was a contrast of the righteous and the wicked. He stated that there were only two classes of the human family, righteous and wicked. He also stated that it's contrary to God's pleasure that the ungody should advise the Godly. There were many good tho's developed, too numerous to mention here; some of these however were: Standing in the way of sinners—doing what they do, or standing around with them; Christian's at the cardparty, not taking part, perhaps, but just there; sitting in the seat of the coffer: The righteous man delighteth in the law of the Lord and meditates upon it. The wicked meet their doom conflicting with the law or suffering God's displeasure. The Mission Sisters gave short talks, Sunday evening, the theme of their discourse was, "The Family Altar." The Pastor brought the message from Gen. 2:18; Gen. 1:28. He discussed a few problems of the family life. (Some written had also been handed the Pastor.) The outline was: 1. Organization; 2. Obligation; 3. Perpetuation. Organization—For the happiness of man, God created woman. He wanted us to be happy. Question: What should one do to avoid Temptation? Ans. Stay out of the way of temptation. Question: Should the wife read the husband's mail? (or visa versa) Ans. If the husband wants his wife to do so he will allow it but in either case it should be of such nature (no secret mail) that it could be read by either. Question: How should a man start a family? Ans. Count up the cost and ask himself; Do I love the one of my choice? Am I sure that the one of my choice loves me? (prayerfully) Organization—The family, a divine institution of God. Obligation—Let not man put asunder, that which God has joined together. Perpetuation: Be ye fruitful multiply and replenish the earth. We certainly have some good social times at Calvary.
