THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 7. MRS. MYRA LOWE AGED'115, DIES Mrs. Myra Lowe, a native of Virginia, who is believed to have passed the century mark, died Thursday, in the home of her nephew, Wesley Morris, Urbancrest, of senility. The deceased was the widow of the late Thomas Lowe, and came here to make her home with relatives, who gave her age as 115 years. Another nephew, Leroy Morris, and a niece, Miss Otle Morris, also survive her and live at the Urbancrest home. WAS JESUS STURDY OR A WEAKLING? A STATUE OF CHRIST AS HE DROVE OUT THE MONEY CHANGERS IS BEING CRITICIZED IT IS ANYTHING BUT "MEEK AND MILD." Representing Christ, was given. (Driving Out the Money Changers) A heated controversy is raging about this bronze statue of Christ recently unveiled in New York City. It portrays the Saviour of Man as anything but the "gentle Jesus, meek and mild" of the old hymn, and that is the cause of the old hymn, and that is the cause of the contention. It is hard to get away from tradition and preconceived notions. For centuries the world has thought of Christ as a frail man with a face gentle and benign to the point of effeminacy. All because this was the conception of Him held by artists of the past. No painting or statue of Christ ever was made from life. All we know of His likeness comes to us thru the imagination of artists. "I thought the time had come to show the Christ of vigor and stern power," is the defense of Max Kalish, the sculptor, "the virile man so abundantly described in the Gospel, as when He lashed the money changers out of the temple." Thirty years of physical outdoor toil could not have produced other than a man of fine physique, supple muscles and ruddy face, say those who believe in Kalish statue portrays the true Christ more nearly than has ever been done heretofore. They side in with Bruce Barton's views as expressed in his book, "The Man Nobody Knows." "Only strong magnetic men in spire great enthusiasm and build great organizations," says Barton in his book. "Yet Jesus built the greatest organization of all .... The practice of carpentry was no easy business in those days. Doubtless the man who took a contract for a house assumed responsibilities for digging into the rough hillside for its foundations, for selling trees in the forest and shaping them with an adze .....bending his strong, clean shoulders to deliver heavy blows. "All. His days were spent in the open air. By far the greater part of His teaching was done on the shores of His lake; or in the cool recesses of the hills. He walked constantly from village to village; His face was tanned by the sun and wind. Even at night He slept outdoors when He could—turning His back on the hot walls of the city and slipping away into the healthful freshness of the Mount of Olives." Barton denounces as a wicked falsehood, the statement often heard that Christ never was known to laugh. "The friendliest man who ever lived," hc says. "His lists of friends ran from the top of the social ladder to the bottom." At any rate the Kalish statue has set men to thinking of the sort of man Christ seally was, at this past Easter season.

C., May 6 Postmaster General New, Wednesday, issued regulations covering the recent act of congress making unavailable, except to authorized persons, all firearms capable of being concealed on the person. The law becomes effective May 10th. The regulations provided that persons receiving firearms through the mail must call at the post office and establish identity before receiving delivery, and that parcels containing firearms must be plainly marked. Those classified to receive firearms through mail are: Army, navy and marine officers; reserve corps officers; national guard or militia officers; United States serving warrants; employees of the postal service; watchmen engaged in guarding United States property, and firearms manufacturers or bonafide dealers. The law provides a fine of $1,000, two years' imprisonment, or both, for anyone attempting to mail firearms held to be unmailable. I DO MY OWN THINKING By Ernest Rice McKinney (Preston News Service) Occasionally, someone writes to me or to the manager of the Preston News Service, objecting to some of my personal opinions expressed in this column. These objectors seem to forget that all that I say here is simply and only my personal views on the matters discussed. I don't claim that these views are correct. I don't claim that they are the result of any deep and brilliant thinking. I don't care whether or not anyone accepts my views. I grant to every man the same rights and privileges that I demand for myself. I sit off to myself and look at things and then write what I think about them. It is of no importance to me, if it be true, that nobody thinks as I do. The only time that I get worried is when I find myself failing to do my own thinking. And that's that. FEW INDIVIDUAL THINKERS Herd opinion is one of the besetting sins of this grand and glorious republic. Only about one in every thousand Americans has any opinions of his own. His thinking is usually done for him by some shyster who can only think along shyster lines. Should some big capitalist, who has endowed a few universities, hospitals and old ladies' homes, arise and proclaim that flies have no relationship to the spread of typhoid fever, there are thousands of our yokelry who would accept this as truth, and all the medical men in the land could not prevail against it. Let a politician yell that our school histories are impregnated with pro-British propaganda and he will at once be elected to the high office of mayor, grand wizard, bishop or dog catcher-in-chief. Let any preacher as he launches into the third (collection sermon) sermon of the morning-begin to moan and yelp and describe the beauties of a heaven that he knows nothing about, and he'll get enough wash-tub and pick-handle money to carry the fliver on the week's rounds of pastoral calls and free meals. FLOOD VICTIMS I hope that the Red Cross will be impartial in the distribution of funds in the flooded regions of the South. I hope Negroes will be cared for the same as the whites. I don't feel so very optimistic. Such calamities as this usually hit Negroes harder than anyone else. As a rule they are the group found in the bottoms. It is a terrible thing to be poor and yet have even the little that you have, destroyed. These periodic outbursts of the Mississippi—it seems to me—can be avoided if some of the public money spent foolishly for such things as congressional funerals and battlehairs were used on the banks of the Mississippi. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, May 6, 1927. AT REST After years of labor, toiling unceasingly in the cause for all she termed good and noble, Sister Kittle Coleman was called to rest. Her health had been on the decline for some time but for the past 6 months she was unable to get about, but was patient, and true to her word of trust to the last. Her funeral was attended at Tabernacle, Monday, the church of her membership. Her nelces stood by her thru it all and our Heavenly Father will repay. SECRETARY'S TRAVELS On Saturday, April 2nd, we entrained for Nicodemus, Kansas, leaving Topeka, at 12:40 and arriving at Bogue, Saturday night at 11 o'clock Mountain time. We were met at the station by Deacon R. B. Henrie and driven about 5 miles through the country to his farm and home. In a short while we were soundly sleeping and dreaming of the services of the morrow. April 23rd, we began the day by attending the Bible School meeting at 10 o'clock, where we found many eager children studying the Word of God. Pastor J. S. Moore was directing the teaching forces and had selected for himself the duty of instructing the smaller boys' class. We took particular notice that the attention given to the teacher in this class was very exceptional and we found that even in the presence of a stranger, Rev. Moore was able to keep the attention of the most playful of his group, which showed the remarkable ability in handling boys and girls of this age. The Pastor and members of the 2nd Baptist Ch. of Nicodemus, were observing their 43rd Anniversary and Sunday, Apr. 3rd, was the climax of three days and nights' services in which the history and progress of the church was witnessed and plans made for the future development of the work. The good people of Nicodemus are loyalty supporting the work of the Kingdom in a splendid way. The people of Graham County, especially of Nicodemus community, are facing their 4th year of sand storms and drought. At this time they had not had over 40-100 inches of rainfall, and the sandstorm had visited them last fall and blown away the seed that had been planted for wheat crop. But we learned that they have had over six inches of rain and are expecting to gather a real crop, which will prevent their having another season of failure. The remarkable spirit of these people was displayed in their service and worship. To see them after the 3rd year of crop failure, we who live in other parts of the state, would feel ashamed to complain of our misfortune and failures. At one time, it was thought best to close up the church for a while, but the young officers came forward and suggested to the Pastor, that 'if we close our church the community is 'blown up.' At 11 o'clock, we brought the message. It was happily received by the congregation and all were made to rejoice in the Lord. At 3:30 a program was rendered and special address made by Attorney W. L. Sayers of Hill City. At 8 o'clock we brought the 2nd message of the day, after making two addresses, one to the Sunday School and another to the B. Y. P. U. We were glad to know that even after the winter, and with three years of crop failure, the church did not owe the Pastor any salary, but through the help of the Lord, they had been able by some means to meet their pastoral obligations. The salary of this field is very small and if there ever is an opportunity for our Convention to do some real effective Missionary Work, it would be to help increase the salary of the Pastor of Nicodemus. They gave $5.00 to the work. Bro. Moore is indeed proving himself to be a man of God, fearless, and loyal to the Cause of Christ, and we feel that he is one of the tall timbers of our denomination in the State of Kansas. We need about 40 just such men as Brother Moore, to fill the Mission Stations of Kansas and the brethren can concientially rally to their support. (Continued next week) FLOGGED CONVICT DIES; STATE INVESTIGATES (Preston News Service) WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. May 6. Invitation is being conducted here into the alleged whipping of Colonel Jones, convict, who died April 20, in Forsyth, County convict camp No. 3. L. G. Whitley, representing the State Department of Charities and Public Welfare, who is said to have been sent here by the State Commissioner, Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, to conduct the Investigation, declined to make a statement. Jones was convicted in municipal court here, Tuesday, April 19, on a charge of assault with deadly weapon and was sentenced to serve 18 months on the roads. He was taken to the camp on the same day. A whipping was administered, it is said when he refused to take a bath.. Jones died the following morning. TIGER FLOWERS BEATS WIGGINS IN BUFFALO TIGER FLOWERS BEATS WIGGINS IN BUFFALO BUFFALO, N. Y., May 6—Tiger Flowers, former middleweight champion, gave Church Wiggins of Indianapolis, a decisive beating in a 10-round bout, last Friday night. Wiggins made only one round even, the ninth and in the others, was badly cut about the face. Flowers weighd 170½; Wiggins weighed 180½. ATTENTION TOPEKA, KANSAS, May 3, 1927. To all whom it may concern, GREETINGS: This is to inform all the pastors and members of the Kaw Valley District Association, that the regular meeting of the Board of the District will convene with the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church. Rosedale, Kansas, Friday and Saturday, May 13th and 14th, Rev. A. B. Fuller, Pastor. Let every Pastor, Messenger from every department, come up to the meeting prepared to represent every department. Our educational work is taking great shape under the leadership of Dr. E. L. Scruggs, but we must be equal to the task and build for the future. Our mission work will suffer greatly, unless we earnestly and persistently sacrifice to carry on this great work. We need thousands of dollars to "carry on" as we should, our Educational and Missionary Program. No slackers should be allowed in the ranks. We must have workers who feel keenly the responsibility and who will arise to the height of the situation. So come prepared to pay all obligations to the Women's Convention, The Sunday School Convention and the District Association. We should be in a position to turn over to the State at least $500.00 at the close of this quarterly Board Meeting. Yours for His Cause. Ottawa News. BETHANY CHAPEL CHURCH Iev. Favors. Pastor Rev.

THEME:—"The Relation of Baptism to the Remission of Sins." TEXT:—Mark 16:16. "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned." It is to be regretted that so many of our Baptist Ministers fail to understand and properly apply this passage of Scripture. The position taken by such ministers convey the erronious idea that Baptism is essential to salvation, or that it is necessary in order to be saved, and yet they tell the sinner, that he must be saved in order to be a fit subject for baptism. Such inconsistency in faith and practice is preposterous, or ridiculous. How can one be saved before Baptism, if Baptism is essential to salvation. If you ask a minister of the so-called Christism is essential to salvation? If you salvation and he will answer, yes; because his position is that the sinner comes in possession of salvation while in the act of baptism, not that the virtue is in the water, but they claim that baptism brings them in touch with the blood of Christ; and thus they are cleansed from all sins, through the application of the blood, while in the act of being baptized. That is the way that they reason it out. Now our position is different. We claim and affirm that baptism is not essential to salvation, but that one must be saved before he is a fit subject to be baptized; and this is in perfect harmony with the teachings of Christ and the Apostles. The Christian Church claims that our text confirms their doctrine, and there are a great many of our ministers who concede that they are right, when they preach that baptism is essential to salvation. But let us turn to our text and investigate it for a moment. You will note that our text has an affirmative and negative side; baptism is mentioned on the affirmative, but on the negative, nothing is said about baptism. He that believeth not shall be damned. This clearly indicates that baptism does not stand in the same relation to salvation as that of faith or belief, for then He would have said, He that believeth not and is not baptized shall be damned; in other words, He would have said, if you fail in either one, you are damned. But He did not say that, Hence, salvation is hinged on faith, and not on baptism, in any; since this is the only instance on record where the Savior ever spoke of baptism in connection with faith as a condition of salvation; as for instance in His conversation with Nicodemus, concerning the new birth. He explained to him, how he must obtain the new birth, as follows: "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:17. He that believeth on Him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he believed not in the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18. These passages already show that salvation is obtained through faith in Christ, and before he would have time to be baptized. This is in harmony with all of his teachings. But again, the commission as But again, the commission as Five Cents Per Copy CONGRESS ACTIVITIES BEGUN The Naahville people have begun their activities on behalf of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress which meets here June 22-26, 1927. The big chorus of 250 voices has been organized, and is holding weekly rehearsals at Spruce Street Baptist Church on Eighth Avenue. This Church is more centrally located, and for that reason will be the headquarters of Congress activities This CHORUS is made up of the choira of the various Baptist Churches in the city, together with such promiscuous talent as other churches and denominations are willing to furnish. The CHORUS is directed by Prof. E. W. D. Isaac, Jr., assisted by Dr. W. S. Ellington, Jr., and Mr. F. A. Petaway. The MUSICAL DIRECTOR and those assisting him are of the opinion that since Nashville, is a great musical center, and has such a fine musical reputation, the big CHORUS should pull off some extraordinary classical stunts. In view of that members and visitors may come prepared to listen to some high class musical renditions, as well as gather information as to the art of developing congregational singing. The ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE is receiving names from all over the country, and making assignments as rapidly as these names are sent in. Persons who send in their names will receive assignment cards, which will place them in position to go directly from the STATION to their stopping places. All messengers are requested to send their names to CONGRESS HEADQUARTERS, 409 GAY ST. in order that RAILROAD IDENTIFICATION CERTIFICATES may be sent them. Unless they present such IDENTIFICATION CERTIFICATES to the Local Railroad Agent, they will not be able to purchase round trip tickets on the reduced rate plan. In the large cities it is advisible that one person should be named to handle the CERTIFICATES. Heretofore, we have had much confusion because two or three different people in the same city send to this office for CERTIFICATES. In our effort to meet this promiscuous demand we throw away a great many CERTIFICATES by sending a greater number to one city than is necessary. There are still splendid indications that the delegation will be unusually large, and that one of the best programs will be rendered that has been our good pleasure to witness.—E. W. D. ISAAC. Director General. stated by St. Matt. 28:19, clearly shows that in every case, baptism follows salvation and that it was never intended to precede it. Here is the Savior's own words, as stated in this 19th verse: "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and in the name of the Holy Ghost;" The term, teach, here is better rendered, discipline all nations, baptizing them after having made them disciples. Mark that statement. This ought to clear up Mark's statement, Banish every doubt and Silence all dispute. It can be plainly seen that baptism is not essential unto salvation, but, it is essential because of salvation, already obtained. It is to show to the world that one has been saved. In conclusion, let me state that one cannot understand the Scriptures by studying one verse alone; but in order to get a clear conception of any one passage, it must be studied by comparing it with all other Scriptures, bearing on the same subject, and then place a construction upon it that will harmonise with other plain passages. The Bible is its own interpreter; if studied with care, it will make everything plain. Compare the Four Gospels, touching the Great Commission, and you will be able to understand Mark's Gospel, clearly. God bless His message. Yours in Christ.

LESSON, SUNDAY, MAY 8, °1927 “Learning How To Pray.” Luke 21:1-18, When the disciples heard Jesus pray, they concluded thatt they needed to be taught to pray. We all need to be taught how to approach God in prayer. Jesus gave the disciples a model prayer, First, they are to enter in- to the closet and shut the door— Then make our address to God, Cur Father In Heaven, as distin- guished from Father of Farth.

The angels do His will in heaven, why not men of earth. Give us each day. We live one day at the time. We must therefore depend each day up- on Him for tread. Prayer for forgiveness according as we have forgiven. Suffer ua not to be overcome with the tempter, but bring us through. Because, all ts thine: The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory. Earthly friends will respond to a persistent and earnes plea; will not our Father hear and answer our cry when we ery In earnes. Ask God for what you need and wait on Him, My God will supply all our needs according to His riches in Glory. Ask, Seek, Knoch! God will give your desire, Ye shall find what ye reek.

Prayer is the soul in communion with its Maker, More bettles have, been won by prayer than by the sword.
