Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 8, It has recently come to light that a Floridian practice of pre-Civil War days was the branding, upon hands of persons apprehended will endeavoring to free slaves by theft of the initial "SS"—meaning "slave stealer." One of the country's most famous characters, who suffered branding and imprisonment in Florida, was Capt. Jonathan Walker, white, who nearly twenty years before the War, was caught, tried, and convicted as a thief in the United States Federal Court at Pensacola for attempting to free slaves by theft and transportation to free territory. Theresfter, Capt. Walker was pilloried, branded, and kept in solitary confinement for a year. Following his release, the S. S. ex-convict came North and became one of the Nation's leaders in the anti-slavery activities. He died in Musakegon County, Michigan, in 1878, and memory of him and his exploits are kept alive by the annual visits of thousands who desire to pay homage to the grave of the deceased abolitionist. Indeed, Captain Walker should be kept alive, too, in our hearts, among those whom we revere as saviours of the Union through the abolition of slavery. Coffeyville, News Items SARDIS BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. T. T. Addison, Pastor. Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world—Bible. Sunday was a gloomy day accompanied by a wind storm, but our people came on to church. At Sardis, we celebrated Mothers' Day. S. S., was excellent. Supt. W. G. Whitaker was at his post, all teachers on hand. Class No. 5, Bible Class taught by Pastor Addison, was banner class. At 11 a. m., Junior choir was on hand, rendered most excellent music. Pastor preached a very pathetic sermon from 1 Sam. 2:19, subject: "Mother." All seemed uplifted, one man joined the church. At 3 p. m., Pastor's Aid had charge and rendered a most interesting program un leadership of Mrs. Thul-Blaks, President, Sister L. A. Robinson, Vice and mistress of finance Mrs. Dr. E. M. Miller read a very fine paper on "Why Celebrate 'Mother's Day?'" which set our hearts on fire. Miss Mabel Scott read an interesting and touching paper on, "My Mother," which made us all see the most beautiful character in all the world, "My Mother." Mrs. Addison sang a very touching solo, "A Stranger Cut The Rope," which brough tears to our eyes. Dr. O. H. Burbridge preached a strong sermon to the Aid on, "The Golden Rule." This brought us all to our senses and made us see ourselves as we are. At 8:40, President N. B. Hamilton conducted a very interesting B. Y. P. U., with two prizes given to winners in Bible Sword Drill, and winners were Miss Ruby Tomlin and Mr. Rissel Whitaker. At 8 p.m., services opened on time and after devotion, Pastor introduced J. T. Delley of Nowata, Okla., who preached a soul-stirring sermon, making all hearers, rejoice. Come again elder. We also had with us Revs. Green, Oliver, and Stevens in our services. All eyes are turned on May 16th, at which time the big rally will be pulled off by Club No. 4, leader Mrs. Georgia Walls, title is, "The Children of the Jericho Road." You will sure miss it if you fail to come to Sardis Baptist to witness this play. You are always welcome at Sardis. CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday, the 1st, was a gala day at Calvary Church, which will go down in history in the hearts of those who attended the sunrise prayer meeting, 92 persons assembled in the auditorium to give God praise out of the depths of their hearts, being the 1st and the 1st service held up-stairs. Many hearts were made glad and Continued on page four) AMERICAN SENSE OF JUSTICE (Preston News Service) If as much enthusiastic, keen interest and energy had been expended by Nordic America in supporting the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, as has been manifested in behalf of two foreigners, this bill might by this time heva become a law that would protect the lives of our group of American citizens. Note the keen interest exhibited in Sacco and Vanzetti, the two Italians sentenced to die by electrocution on the charge of murder. These men have arisen from obscurity to become internationally known. The fate is a matter that concerns most of the civilized world. Petitions, protests, and cablegrams, asking for clemency, and even freedom with pardon, have poured into the office of the governor of Massachusetts, from individual organizations, at home and abroad. The International Labor Defense of Pocatello, Idaho, asks for clemency "in the interest of justice and fair play," further claiming that the Declaration of Independence will be made a joke if these men are "murdered."—What justice and fair play does the Negro get in this country? He is "murdered" daily in mind, soul and body by the prejudices that rob him of his "inallienable right" to liberty and "the pursuit of happiness." That document on which our Americanism is supposed to be based has long become a joke to the Negro. One representative to Congress asks that these "men's execution he at least delayed until Congress can pass on a measure which he proposes to introduce" at its next session. The Boston "Herald" pleads "for a new trial to safeguard the Springfield "Republican" declares emphatically that that a dog ought not to be shot on the weight of the evidence" brought against these men."—How much evidence is needed in the South to "murder" a Negro? It is said that one million signatures are to be sought for a petition to be sent to Governor Fuller of Massachusetts, and an Italian Presbyterian minister of Philadelphia, tells the governor that "the cry of the civilized world asks justice for these two innocent men—the victims of the great error."—How often the Negro is the victim of a great error. We, as a group, certainly have no desire to see justice miscarried in this case, as it so often is with us, and it is with keen interest that we stand off and watch the outcome. Whether these particular men are guilty or innocent is hypocracy and "hot air" expressed by American newspapers, organizations and even individuals, concerning this affair, and their great desire that justice be not mis-directed—Nordic hypocracy. TOPEKA NEWS S. S. opened at 9:30 o'clock by Supt. Bro. Bills; all teachers present. A wonderful lesson was taught 30 minutes devoted in class study. Banner awarded to class No. 1, Sister M. Douglass, teacher. After school, Rev. Lockett, brought a burning message. Subject: "Follow Me." Our hearts were made to burn as he told us how we may start to following Jesus, today, and stop tomorrow. At night services, he gave us another wonderful message from Gen. 7:1; subject: "The City of Refuge." We are very proud of our Pastor; for he is a pastor and father also. We are glad the Lord saw fit to speed Sister Smith to recovery. Sister Tabor is on the sick list, but is somewhat better. Ottawa News. Mothers' Day was observed at all services during the day. Rev. Favors falling to arrive in time for the 5 o'clock services. Rev. Wilson, assistant pastor, preached, using as a text Gen. 3:20. S. S. at 9:45, good attendance.

SMOKY HILL RIVER CLOSES GREAT SESSION In the midst of some of the finest people in America, the Smoky Hill River District and auxiliaries held one of its best boards, beginning with a pre-convention program on the night of May 3, with Sister Geraldine Bryant Hudson directing song service. She kept this work very effectively throughout the meeting. Rev. A. W. Ross, State Executive Secretary, ably took care of the devotional theme at the beginning of each session. Subject: "Justification." He made truths ring forth. Rev. C. W. Wilson, Manhattan, spiritually preached the opening sermon. Rev. J. W. Johnson, Abilene, presided over the Ministers and Deacon's Union; opening at 9 a.m., Wednesday. Pastor J. H. Bruce brought a strong message in the Bible Institute. Rev. J. W. Johnson brought a practical and logical sermon. The afternoon session was presided over by Mrs. O. E. Jackson, president of S. S. Convention. Mrs. Maude Curtis, Abilene, read a paper on "The Necessity of a Training Course," which will appear in this paper, and you will see its value. Rev. J. Moore brought a strong sermon. Wednesday night, the services were specially featured with sweet singing by St. John's Junior Choir, Prof. Francis Harris most eloquently delivered the Welcome Address and Mrs. Emma Warder, in a most unique way, responded. We enjoyed a well prepared paper by Mrs. Beatrice Cooksey, Russell, Kansas. Rev. Ed. Pennington, Pastor of 1st Baptist Church, (white) of Salina, a very plain and helpful sermon. Thursday morning, B. Y. P. U. session opened with Bro. O. W. Gary, presiding, in its usual way, A number of brief talks were made by Bro. Elmer Brummell, Sister Davidson, Bro. H. T. Sims, Sister Bertha Moore and Bro. D. A. Marshall. All enjoyed the wonderful contralto solo by Mrs. J. B. Devine. Rev. W. F. Warder brought the message with power. Thursday afternoon was Woman's Home and Foreign Mission session, with Mrs. Davidson, presiding. The paper by Mrs. Birdie Garvin, was edifying. It will appear in this paper, soon. Very sweetly was the solo rendered by Mrs. Geraldine Bryant Hudson. Rev. H. J. Wilson Manhattan, preached the sermon of the hour in his way. The business throughout session of the Association Board was business throughout, Rev. G. T. Raimey, presiding, Bre. Lewis N. Grimes, taking notes. Thursday night closed the session with a great sermon by Rev. D. A. Marshall. The good people of Salina, went over the top, caring for the messengers and friends. Kansas City, Kan. News KING SOLOMON INSTITUTIONAL BAPTIST CHURCH S. Montgomery, B. Th. D. D., Pastor S. S., opened on time by Supt. Mrs. Ela (Bohanon, with a large attendance. Four new scholars added to the school. The contest given by the S. S., on the 6th was a wonderful success. Morning services were well attended. Pastor having just closed a successful revival at Topeka, was Five Cents Per Copy IN MEMORY OF SISTER KITTIE COLEMAN. A faithful soul has taken its flight to the great beyond. She accepted the saving grace of Jesus when quite young and joined the old famous Beale Avenue Baptist Church, Memphis, Tenn., when it was brush harbor. Later she joined the Tabernacle Baptist Church, in its organization; later coming to Kansas, she joined the Tabernacle Baptist Ch., here, of which she was a faithful member, all her life. She lived, loved and devoted her every talent for the success of her church. She is survived by only a few whom she left here in Tabernacle M. B. Ch. Her memory still lives with them. The sad news came as a shock to her old Christian associates, viz. Sisters Nelson, Johnson, Bennett, Countee, also Bro. Emmett Maxwell. We sang, 'One more soldier is gone to reap her great reward, deep down we anchored over thoughts; and now say, Fight on my soul till death, shall bring thee to thy God. Your God to praise forever, to see loved ones gone, to see Jesus who died for us all. To the many friends, we must say, her kind way of receiving one, will be greatly missed. Her cares, her toils are all over and she is now resting from her labors and her works do follow her. To you Mrs. Patton, you have lost a devoted aunt. We mourn her passing from you and how to Him who doeth all things for the best. Sleep on Sister Kittle, one by one, we too are going in; God hath taken you to beautify His Kingdom. By your life-long friend, Morris Mayo, Memphis, Tenn. SUCCESSFUL UNION MEETING Having just closed a successful Union revival at Topeka, with Calvary Baptist Church, Dr W. H. Young, Pastor; the 2nd Baptist Ch. Rev. Burton, Pastor; Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Rev. E. L. Lockett, Pastor, participating. The Rev. Dr. Caver of Little Rock, Ark., was the choice to do the preaching, but he could not serve on account of the high water. I was called by Pastor Young and arrived on the scene, April 26, and closed May 7. The big hearted people of Topeka, know how to make it pleasant for the minister of God. The meeting was at high water mark from beginning to end. Mrs. W. H. Young, Mrs. A. W. Ross and the organist of 2nd Baptist Church, whose name I did not get, deserve mention; for indeed they led the chorus that delivered the goods in song service. Dean Scrugga was among the faithful ones that left no stone unturned to make the meeting a success. Dr. and Mrs. Young know how to make it pleasant for one in their pleasant home. They are both very highly educated and they use it to glorify God; to know them means to love them. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Gurden, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Williams, Rev. and Mrs. Burton are the ones deserving special praise, for indeed they fed the elder until he could hardly preach; these ladies including Mrs. Young are among the best cooks I ever met—Enough said. Calvary Baptist Church, with her spacious Sunday School Temple, does big things for the young people. 27 happy souls confessed Christ. Throughout the meeting, Rev. Lockett, Pastor of 2nd Baptist Ch., was also among the faithful to make the meeting a success. These brethren are deep in the hearts of their people. We preached to the student body at the Kansas Vocational College the 1st Sunday at 3:30 p.m. Dr. Scruggs has charge of the religious side of the school; Zion must grow under such outstanding educator as this God-sent man. The Supt. of Calvary S. S. knows how to pull off big programs for God in his school. Watch it grow under such leadership—S. Montgomery. at his best, and preached a soul-stirring sermon, subject: "What God Does for the Upright." The Holy Spirit visited us, the whole Ch., was visited us; the whole church was moved, seemingly, as never before. (Continued on page 4) Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D.D., Dean, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (© 1987, Western Newspaper Union) LESSON TEXT—Acts 8 LESSON TEXT—Acts 8 GOLDEN TEXT—Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Gheat—Acts 2 28 PRIMARY TOPIC—Peter Preaches About Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Gift of Power INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Peter at Pentecost YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Source of Spiritual Power. 1. The Day of Pentecost Fully Come (vv. 1-13). 1. Significance of the day (v. 1). Pentecost is from a Greek word meaning "fifty." It was the feast held fifty days after the wave sheaf offering (Lev. 23:16). The wave sheaf typifies the resurrection of Christ (1 Cor. 15:20-23). 2. The gift of the Holy Spirit (vv. 24). On this day the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples. From that time forth He would work on a new basis, having the crucified, risen and ascended Christ to present to the world. 3. Upon whom the Spirit came (v. 1; cf. 1:13-15). The twelve and others, both men and women to the number of one hundred and twenty, showing that the gift of the Holy Spirit was for all be lievers, not merely the apostles. 4. The marks of the Spirit (vv. 2-4) These marks were external and internal. (1) External. (a) The sound of a mighty wind (v. 2). This is suggestive of the mysterious, pervasive and powerful energy of the Spirit. (b) The tongues of flame (v.3). Each of the one hundred and twenty was crowned with such a tongue. Tongues show the practical purpose of the Spirit's gift—witnessing. (c) Speaking in foreign tongues (v. 4). This was a temporary endowment for a special purpose. (2) Internal. This is seen in the transformation wrought in the disciples. Peter, who shortly before this, cowered before a Jewish maid, now with lion boldness stands before the chief rulers and declares that they had murdered their King; therefore guilty before God. 5. The effects (vv. 5-13). (1) The multitude were filled with amazement and wonder. The gift of the Spirit transforms common men into men of power and influence. (2) Some mocked and foolishly attempted to account for this remarkable occurrence. They accused the disciples of being intoxicated. 11. Peter's Sermon (vv. 14-17). Peter's sermon is as wonderful as the gift of tongues. His analysis is perfect. 1. The introduction (vv. 14 21). (1) Defense of the disciples against the charge of being drunk (v. 15). This he does by citing Jewish customs showing that they would not be drunk at such an early hour of the day. (2) A scriptural explanation. He showed that this was a partial fulfillment of that which Joel predicted would come to pass (vv. 10-21; cf. Joel 2.28 32) before the messianic judgment, viz., an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the salvation of all who call upon the name of the Lord. 2. The proposition, or theme (v. 30) This was the mesalahship of Jesus. 3. The argument (vv. 22-30). It was threefold. (1) From Christ's works (v. 22) He was approved of God among the Jews by His miracles, wonders and signs which God did by Him in their midst with which they were familiar (2) From His resurrection (vv. 22-32). The Old Testament Scriptures had foretold the death and resurrection of Christ (Fa. 10:8-10). The disciples were living witnesses of Christ's resurrection for they had seen and talked with Him, and handled Him since the resurrection (v. 32). (8) From His ascension to be on the right hand of God (v. 32). The proof that He had ascended on high was the wonderful miracle of the Spirit's operation in their midst; for He had said that upon His ascension into heaven He would send forth the Spirit. 4. The effect of the sermon (vv. 37-42). Many people were convicted of their sins, some three thousand of whom repented and were baptized. The daily life of these believers was proof of the Spirit's gift. (1) They continued steadfastly in the apostolic teaching (v. 42). (2) They continued in fellowship with the apostles (v. 42). Trusting God An undivided heart which worships God alone, and trusts Him as it should, is raised above all anxiety for earthly wants. Hand and Heart of God In creation we see the hand of God, and at Calvary we see the heart of God.—Echoes. Spiritual Happiness Spiritual happiness is possible under all circumstances.—Echoes. B.Y.P.U.LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES 615 Wabash Ave., Wichita, Kansas. "Learning How To Pray." Luke 11:1-13. "Preparing for My Life's Work." "And God put Man into the garden to dress it and keep it." It seems to have been the purpose of God from the beginning that man labor. Genesis 2:15. "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." Hence, the Creator is active in His Universe. God is all wise and unchanging, so are His purposes. Then it follows that each man is created for a definite work. Every life is long enough to finish its assigned work, but there is not a moment to spare, if he would be able to say at the end of his life, "I have finished my course." A definite work to do, a definite time in which to do it, and a definite purpose for which it is done. The kingdom of Heaven is like unto a man who went into a far country and left his estate to three stewards with the injunction, "Occupy until I return." The first two, the five and two talented men, were equally faithful, differing only in ability. They both belonged to the same character. They were honest, industrious, and faithful. When the Master returned, they had multiplied His goods. He placed upon them a stamp of approval, and gave them promotion with the injunction, "Well done." But the opposite character, the lazy servant, dirhonest and unfaithful, wasted his Lord's time, was an unfaithful steward. No growth in the estate. He was guilty of the sin of omission. When his Master returned, he had only that with which he had been entrusted. No Improvement. Stagnation means death. The injunction was from his lord., Thou unprofitable servant. The taltaken from him and given to him that hath ten. So will Christ decide when He returns to His stewards with whom He has entrusted His goods. We save time, when we take time to prepare. The world can wait until you are ready. (prepared.) Each Christian is God's steward. Can God trust you with His goods? Though Christ seems to tarry, He will certainly return. It is better to do one day's work well, than to do ten days' work, poorly. It is not so much what you have, but the use you make of it. Nothing is more pleasing to God than faithful service. Was the man who hid his talent honest? Was he a Christian? Did he deserve any credit? If at the end of life Christ will put His stamp of approval upon the work done and declare it (well done) that will be enough. St. Mary Bapt. Church Rev. J. K. Douglas, Pastor.

Sayers, For the Ist tine neu: lives, we were caught in what { known in Western Kansas as a sanc storm and only those who hav been caught in a sand storm know what one means when they say a sand storm. Everywhere is filled with sand and dirt one can scarcely travel, It is very difficult to see as far os across the street ahead. It ia very difficultto keep the sand out of the house. It matters not how tight the windows are closed, buck- ets of sand will go through and get Into the house, When we read about clay being rained down out of the sky at Emooria, and happened to be caught in a sand storm in Graham County, we could readily see why that mud could be rained from the rhv, We made severat visits while in Hill City, und have several renre tentatives that reflect great honor and credit to the Race; Attorneys W.

Attorney W, L. Sayers was so anx- fous about the work that he even stopped the work of the office, which is @ constant demand from the hour of opening until clos- ing, to see that the church was made comfortable for services at night at 8 p.m, and at the same time had been called end was preparing to leave on an early train for his trip. We had a wonderful service at the church that night night. $6.00 was contributed te the work. April 5th, we were at Salina, St. John Baptist Church, Rev, J, H, Bruce, Pastor, Rev.
