THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 9, SOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT HOLDS BOARD MEETING SOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT HOLDS BOARD MEETING Second Baptist Church of Winfield, gave the District Board Meeting one of the best entertainments in history of work. Everything worked like a clock; much credit is given to Rev George Alexander and his good people. Rev. C. E. Woods, President of the Ministers and Deacons' Union, was at the head of the helm on the morning of the 1st day, May 12. Devotional Theme, "Justification," was led by Rev. J. R. Martin of El dorado, in a spiritual and instructive way. The Missionary hour was in charge of District Missionary, N. J. Stokes, who asked special prayers for the unsaved, who had asked for prayer. He laid the importance of their souls on the hearts of the messengers. Rev. J. E. Douglass had charge of the Evangelical hour and he made plain the mission of the Ch., and each person in the church, in the salvation of this world. The afternoon was B. Y. P. U. Session with Mrs. Carrie Anderson, President, in the chair; Rev. J. R. Martin, leading the song service. President Anderson organized, into a Model Union, rendered the program, getting ready for the State Convention. In the absence of Rev. J. L. Hawkins, Rev. J. W. Hayes discussed the "Difference Between Regeneration and Justification." He showed that Christ justified all in His death, but each person must make it real for himself thru faith, which gives the Holy Spirit a right to regenerate and plant the Holy Seed and start the growth. Dr. D. J. Crawford discussed: "Our Justification Through Christ as a Requirement of Divine Law," proved that the Divine Law required the debt to be settled and Christ was the only one able or worthy to settle the debt and we are exchanging our faith for His righteousness. Mrs. C. A. Nichols read an instructive paper on the "Co-operation of each officer to the others and to the Union." Mrs. Phynola Cook made the Junior Hour, very demonstrative with the assistance of Miss Alma Cottom and Mrs. C. A. Nichols. The young folks acted well their parts. In the absence of Mrs. Ida Bates, who was quite ill, Mrs. Emma Peterson presided over the Women's session in the evening. The Symposium from three angles brought many truths to our attentions:—Making the Home Christian by Mrs. Mae Buckner; Making the Community Christian by H. T. Sims and Making the World Christian by Rev. J. K. Martin. The sermon was delivered by Rev. D. J. Crawford, Hutchinson, to the delight of all. Friday morning, May 13, was the Sunday School session and Mrs. Mae Buckner, presided. Rev. J. R. Martin had charge of the song service. The Home Department was a Vitalizing Agency was discussed from 3 angles: The Missionary Possibilities in the Home by Rev. J. E. Douglass. He had us to know the home could be an educational institution, with its own teachers, making church leading and loving people. The Evangelistic Possibilities in the Home by Rev. J. P. Martin. He had us to know, it would save the family and increase church membership. What the Home Department Means to the Church by Rev. N. J. Stokes. It is the redeem first station a place to broaden visions for leadership, get more money, have a better fellowship and give a greater opportunity for service. A special and touching solo was sung by Miss Alma Cottom. The Vacation Bible School was discussed from two angles: Its Place in the Church by Rev. B. L. Marchant. He brought out the thought that it was to administer to the whole community. Every available means should be use to religiously train all the children and New Testament should be the text book. Mrs. Emma Peterson spoke on How to Organize and Foster it. She had us to know we should expect full cooperation of the church and community; should plan your program thoroughly. Three persons can handle about 50 pupils. We teach three waves: What you say; What you do and What you are. Rev. C. E. Woods, Arkansas City, brought the message in a cool and deliberate way filled with thoughts for the soul to feast on. Friday afternoon, the Board Proper with Moderator J. W. Hayes, presiding, was opened by Rev. C. E. Woods from the theme: "Unity of Purpose," which was clear and inspirive. We had a short message from Dr. A. W. Ross, State Executive Secretary, give a synopsis of the work and its needs. The business of the District was attended and we too'n recess. The night service was opened by Meadames Cemetery Dishman and W. Dixon and Paar J. R Martin of Fldorado. The Junior Choir took charge and sang sweetly. The first night the Senior choir sang and as usual they are hard to boat. Rev. A. W. Ross gave the objects of the State mission, the needs and the way to A FRIEND TO TRUTH Wichita is blessed with the fact that Drg Ross W. Sanderson lives here and is really a key man for the best for both or all races in this city. He is a diligent seeker after truth and every move that he makes seems toward peace and harmony a demonstrated by the Christ. He believes that any race, when it will take time to know the truth of God and his fellowman, can be trusted to function freely for the safeguarding of right and righteousness. He is asking for full expressions from every leader in the city that he might operate on truth, thereby increase the efficiency of the work in any department. Let us not talk at him, but go and talk to him in interest of God and humanity. M. J. B. HON. JOHN L. WEBB Hot Springs National Park, Ark. Supreme Custodian of Woodmen of Union, who has merited his way from poverty to wealth and fame. HOW A POOR BOY ROSE How a poor boy, a member of a family of ten children, rose from poverty and obscurity to wealth, fame and leadership, is the mission of the book "Life Story of John L. Webb," which has just been published by the Messenger Publishing Co., of Hot Springs, Arkansas. As one reads the book and notes the rise of this Negro financial grant, he is greatly impressed with the staring virtues found in the Negro race. As the achievements of Mr. Webb are studied it will be seen that he deserves to rank with the ablest financiers that the Negro race has ever produced. The book is well printed on good and has a beautiful cloth binding. In the book are quite a number of pictures which themselves tell a striking story of Negro progress. No one can read this book without being inspired to do greater things. It should be in the home, to be read by all children. The book was written by Sutton E. Griggs, who is the author of fifteen other books. It is on sale at the Messenger Publishing Company's office in Hot Springs, Ark., and retails for 75c per copy. NOTICE!

GEELEER President of Wichita Medical Association, who delivered the Welcome on behalf of the Organization. ASSOCIATION GUEST OF THE CITY ASSOCIATION GUEST OF THE CITY St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Tuesday night, with Dr. P. M. Bell master of ceremonies, marked the place and time of the public opening of the State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association. St. Paul Choir sang the opening song with credit to itself and the occasion. Pastor C. L. Brooks offered player. The vocal solo in Italian, "Aria (La Traviata)" by Mrs. M. S. Fines was sweet and charming and brought commends from Mayor A. J. Coomb and Dr. Tompkins. Dr. Tompkins compared her voice with that of Marion Tally, the great opera singer. Mayor A. J. Coomb delivered the Welcome Address on behalf of the city. He told how he esteemed the preacher, teacher and doctor, with high honors, and how glad he was to have the privilege of welcoming such guests to the city. He told how proud he was of the Negro citizenry and felt as if they were a part of everything in the city: the school, churches, hotels parks, etc. The Invincible Quartette: Jones, Burks, Goss, Porter, gave two numbers, Dr. William J. Tompkins, Kansas City, responded to the welcome in a most thoughtful manner bringing out every point and thanking him for the kind consideration; he said with a man like this he could see nothing but success for the whole citizenry and asked that the Negro scratch his back as long as he scratched their backs. He also thinks it a wonderful act of kindness for the Catholics to give the use of St. Francis Hospital for their use. Rev. J. W. Hayes delivered the welcome address on behalf of the churches. He told us that the Bible and Science war was about at an end and if they would delay his soul from heaven, he would do his part to keep their souls out of hell. Dr. T. P. Martin responded saying that preachers preach what they practice and doctors practice what they preach, and that he was not a speaker. Vocal solo by Mrs. H. T. Geeder, was clear and sweet: "Hay Morning" by Denza. Mrs. F. C. Helm delivered the welcome address on behalf of women's Clubs, asking that they feel the expressions of welcome in every handshake and every breeze they find in our city. Lieut. W. A. Bettia delivered the welcome address on behalf of the press. He said, we hod had larger associations but not so much quality. Dr. W. A. Love of Kansas City, responded, telling of the value of the press. He said, we had had protected and how it should protect principles of a community. Pipe organ selection "Reflection" was very sweetly rendered by Mrs. Etolle Ballard. Dr. H. T. Geeder delivered a prepared welcome address on behalf of the Wichita Medical Society. He assured them that nothing would be done to mar their privileges at St. Francis Hospital or in the city while here. Dr. E. E. Bowser responded with few, but appropriate words. Rev. W. C.

Dr. Tompkins o Kansas City, gave one of the principal talks on "the Relation of the Doctor to the Patient and the Patient to the Doctor." He was humorous and witty. Dr. Fletcher gave us a stereoscopic lecture on the Eye, which was instructive and proved his preparedness to take care of the eye with skill of the superior type.

KILPATRICK WICHITA, KANSAS. 1 Had I the wings of eagles, East and West, I'd fly, I would dip the oceans Soar to the sky. 2 Till angels in heaven would sing it Demons in hell would scream And tell this modern world of ours That God still reigns supreme. 3 I would preach it in the valley, And preach it on the hill That God rules this world. Yes, and God always will. For what is man in God's sight? Man's naught at all, One mighty wave of God's hand And man's mansions fall. 5 He shakes the mighty mountain And to the vale it will fly, Or speaks to the ocean And it runs to the mountains, high. 6 Oh, for ten thousand tongues That I might cry To this vain sinful world 'Till evolution die. Yes, build your mighty mansion, But you build in valn Honor Him Supreme Or He will tear it down again. 8 Every man that walks in valley Or on the mountain trod, Must surrender his heart And own that God is God. AN ESSAY "MAKING THE MISSION WORK MORE REAL, VITAL AND APPEALING." Delivered by Mrs. Biddie Garyin of Salina, to thg. Smoky Hill River District Board Meeting held in Salina, Kansas. It seems that the American people of the twentieth century, have so come to depend upon advertising in the business world, that a like viewpoint is held regarding Church activities: The best advertised Mission is the one in which its work is the subject of conversation during the week. Galatians 6:10, says: "So then, as we have opportunity, let us work." The opportunity for service is at hand. All we have to do is see and seize it. Five Cents Per Copy OH! SINNER BE SAVED BY MRS. TESSIE STRINGER Feeling interested in the soul of man, and of Man's undone condition before God, let me relate to you that you are in a dangerous state at this present age; and a sometime think that all sinners are depending wholly upon death-bed religion; and it has always appeared in my mind that Death-bed religion is uncertain, because sometimes you are called without a moment's warning. Sometimes in car wreck, sometimes by train and many otherways, sometimes you are sick but in too much misery or unconscious, and so many ways, where you wouldn't even have time to say, "Lord Have Mercy" and I know many sinners have heard the sermon preached of the dying gambler and when he did say, Lord have mercy and again he said, save me Jesus, but I assure you it was too late, because he had wasted all of his precious time with worldly pleasures and said it was time enough. I think every sinner, while he is in his right mind, and while the blood runs warm in his veins, should think on his way, because the great day of wrath is coming and who will be able to stand? Because every knee must bow and every tongue confess to God; and I think, as the ministers of the Gospel, whom God is speaking through are speaking, you should be concerned and saved. Isaiah 55:7 says, "Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thought and let him rturn unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him and to our God for He will abundantly pardon." The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will not throw His rich mercies upon any one to be trampled under foot. Another thing. I think obedience should come into the human life, for if you are obedient to your parents, you will likewise be obedient to the command of God, and not knowing when our time will come to die, it pays to be ready; for we know not when the Son of Man shall come. We as Christians oftimes sing the old familiar song, "You Just Well Get Ready, You Got To Die;" and this gives us a blessed assurance, for we know we are fighting for a Captain that never lost a battle and if we trust Him, O sinner, I know we will be saved. Don't let it be said too late to enter the Golden Gates, into that Celestial City, which was prepared for us all from the foundation of the world. Let us not be blind nor idle in this day of days. The Scope of service is world wide. Not a man in all the earth, who needs our help, should look to us in vain, for it. We are under special obligation to those, who are immediately and intimately associated with us. To them and thru them, our best and greatest, if not our only work is done in the world. What is it to Christianize a state? It is to win the people to Christ, build them up in Christ and send them out for Christ. Why ought we to Christianize our State? Patriotism requires it, for Missions help immeasurably in making a better state. Loyalty demands it; for as we love our denomination, we should thus toll for its prosperity. Gratitude inspires it, for the general denominational agency, that has done so much for our cause in the past, deserves our continual sympathy and support. Obedience necessitates it; for our Lord calls upon us to preach the Gospel everywhere, beginning at Jerusalem. To make the Mission Work Real, we should remember that nineteen hundred and twenty-seven years ago, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ the world's greatest missionary, came to earth. He, it is, who began the work of saving souls and initiated His disciples into this same service. This is the out standing reason why the Mission work should be made a real service for the Master. No Christian's life is complete unless he does make himself a missionary and teaches someone else the beauties of the walks of God. The aim of the Mission, is to save souls also and to (Continued on page 4) abet. - 4 ‘ Ns . ae Bd a Are atin jolie 2b! shit ate oe ane Al alibi se was Bae Te!

(Continued from last issue) SECRETARY'S TRAVELS Wednesday, April 13th, we were at Bethany Chapel, Ottawa. This is one of our old line churches' that is always up in its work. This was an off night for the people and just in the flood time. Not many were able to get to church. However, we had a very splendid meeting and $2.00 given to the service. April 14th, we were at Palola, the Mt. Ollygett Baptist Church, Rev. J. A. Rucker, Pastor. There was some mistake made in our announcements and the congregation was not prepared for service. Yet, Rev. Rucker went with me to a few of the people and through his efforts, several came to church and we made a short talk to them. Rev. Rucker is one of our most aggressive pastors and always ready to do his full measure for Kingdom Work. He has been serv- Secretary.....Mrs. M. G. Glover, Chaute, Kansas Treasurer.....Mrs. F.

He is now preparing to install the new pews and the new floors in his church, which will make Mt. Olivett Baptist Church, Paola, one of the best equipped churches in the State and will add about $5,000.00 worth of improvements made to the church since Rev. Rucker has been pastor. Sister Rucker works faithfully and earnestly at the side of Rev. Rucker and always interested in those things that mean for the advancement of Christ's Kingdom. While at Paola, the flood grew worse, but we decided to continue on our trip. April 15th, we were at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Ft. Scott. We stopped in the home of Brother and Sister Ike Owen; We visited the home of Sister Coran and found her just convalescing from a very severe spell of illness. We were glad to find her able to be about the house. The services of this night were well attended and the good people of Sniloh Baptist Church, led by Rev. M. J. Smith, came over and added to our congregation. The rain was still falling and flood still raging so that many of the railroads leading from southeastern and southwestern parts of the state were out of commission. The collection at Mt. Zion, Ft. Scott, was $6.00. We entrained from Ft. Scott, to Pittsburg. We stopped in the home of Rev. J. T. Elias, the matchless leader and champion of God's Cause and one who never says die. On Sunday, the 17th, we preached at 11 o'clock at New Hope Baptist Church, Pittsburg, Rev. Cooper, Pastor; he has his church under construction, enlarging the church by making it longer and wider. We had a very splendid service with Rev. Cooper in the morning, collection for the work 50c. At 3 o'clock we were driven to Crowburg, by Sister S. A. Williams, the wife of our splendid pastor at Coffeyville, in her new Ford. Rev. Ed Brown is the aggressive pastor of St. John Baptist Church, Crowburg. We were a little early in arriving but it was not long for us to wait before the people began pouring in from every direction, and in a short while the church was crowded from pulpit to door. These people in this section have been hard hit, because the 3 year coal strike that has been going on in this industrial district, but they are of a high spirit and beaming with hope and spirit of push and forwardness. Rev. Brown has proven a splendid pastor to these people and organized his forces in a splendid way, and leading them, creditably. We had a great service at this church. We brought the message and presented to them The Negro Star—For the good of the People Ellsworth, Kans.

This church has now under plan, the last lap of their church indebtedness, which will be paid off this summer. They owe on their church building less than $1,000.00. They are worshipping in their beautiful structure recently built at a cost of 18 or 20 thousand dollars. Rev.

(Continued from first page) If they perish in the darkness, j AN ESS AY While they vainly ery for light, Will their blood be on us, brothers, “MAKING THE MISSION WORK MORE REAL, VITAL AND APPEALING.” bring to down-hearted ones, a ray of sunshine into thelr darkened lives and homes. Go ye into al! the world and preach my Gospel. Can you not hear the Master telling that to us? But we cannot all be missionaries and go into various parts of the world, but we can give to help those who do go. The Gospel is the Su- perme expedition, enterprise and campaign. His call enlists, qualifies and‘satisfier our entire being. To tell of Jesus and to lead others to Him, is the best of all work. It is good to tell of Jesus in all places. “Iam not ashamed ¢o tell of the Gospel,” is a statement which every true mission worker can readily make, How many, I wonder could substitute another word or two in place of Gospel and then truthfully say it? For instance, can you say,’ T am not ashame of my Mission Cire cle? The thought which Paul tried to convey, was not that he was mere- ly not ashamed of the Gospel, but that he was so in love with it, that it was his life’s ambition to preach and advertise it, Does thls above interpretation apply to the above substitution? We must make our Mission Circles more vital. Why so, many small circles? One reason in that thelr} representatives, though not really ashamed of them are, in many cases nét working hard to advertise them. When we do, our work will appeal to the community, State and the workers themselves, To make our, work both more vital and appealing, I would say, first, to pray. Pray for’ the missfoaries. Pray for the Mis- sion Churches and Stations, Pray for the State Secretary, his co-! workers and all their assistants. Pray for deepening interest in the, work on the part of the self support-| ing Churches. | Second, Pay. Pay Into a needy treasurey. Pay out of a willing! purse. Pay as a prime investment in the kingdom of God, | Third, Plan, Plan to do personal and voluntary state mission work In any waste place around you. Plan to interest and enlist more people in state missions. Plan to co-operate ! with the recognized Boards in every possible way in thelr work. | Fourth, Push, Push information, push collections, push systematic] beneficence, Push personal service. Push the enlistment and der | ment of every Church member, Push all the work all along the line. The Church must be made to sce that in the Divine plan, missionary work is a fundamental part of al activities. The command to spread the Gospel is plain, Jesus sald,) preach it everywhere and to every creature. There must be a great program of Christian reconstruction for the entire human race. Th’s program would take into account the fields to be developed, the goal of) | foreign missions, the forces at wot the needs to be met. Christian leadership, including pastors, church officers, mission alr | cle workers, and other leaders, must | | bs devoted to the task, The prayer life must be developed. | j There are those who look upop foreign mlasionary work as some-, | shing extra which the church has! undertaken, Many Christian People pense no real soles in connece | | pion with the evahgelization of the | heathen world, Before world-wide] : misalons become a reality, several | advanced steps must be taken and | misslonary education must be exe ended to the church. Todo this will; | require persistent effort on the part | | of those in charge of the work, “So you hear the Master saying, “Go in all the world for me And proclaim the joyous message | Df Salvation full and free,” Do you hear the millions calling From the lands across the sea, i “Send O, send the precious tidingst” a. . ~.68 £4. esnse cad ena. 4 4 If they perish in the darkness, While they vainly ery for light, Will their blood be on us, brothers, In our heavenly Fathers sight? And in Judgment, shall the Master Say, depart, I know you not, Men were hungry for Salvation, But alas you ee them not.” St. Paul Notes. - A wonderful sermon was deliver- ed by Rev. Wm. Mcllveen, who was announced by our pastor Rev. C. E. Brooks, to preach at the 11 a. m, ser- vice. He deeply impressed his hear- ers as he portrayed the sufferings of Christ for mankind. His theme was selected from Heb. 2:9: “But wesee Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death.” That Jesus should hold first place in our hearts, in our lives, and church, will bring universal peace. There was a splendid session of our Bible School in attendance and inter- eat. Lesson study was reviewed by Mrs, F, G. Helm, Supt., of the pri- mary department. The A C, E.

Let now the the astrologers the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon fhee.” I do not teach men to pray for God to movg the evil, the thing he created, nor do I pray for Him to make any change in any things or ways, but I do pray for Him to de- liver me from evil. St, Matt, 6:13, I think it is just as Jesus taught it. What fs evil? Is it a sin? God forbid; no for God cannot sin. Where there is no law, or commandments, there is no sin; so there was no be- ing to say to God, Thou shall not create evil, if there was such a being to dictate to the almighty, to do and not to do. Then it would have been asin, to create evil, or anything against a commandment, but there was none beside the Deity, infinite. ‘What fs evil? It is a punishment. What is the cause and origin of evil? | For liberty, implying a natural power of doing evil, as well as good, and the imperfect nature of finite beings, making it possible for them to abuse their liberty to an actual commission of evil, and it being nec- essary to the order and beauty of the whole, and for displaying the infinite wisdom of the Creator, that there should be different and various de- grees of creatures, whereof, conse- quently, some must be less perfect than others, hence there necessarily arises a possibility of evil, notwith- standing that the Creator is infinite- ly good , All we call evil is evil, of imperfection, as the need of certain faculties, and excellencies which other creaturess have; natural evil, as pain, death, or moral evil, as all kinds of vice.

BRIDGEFORTH, Sec. Ge RENEW YOUR SUBCRIPTION WILL LYNCHINGS DECREASE NOW? Nebraska passes the anti-lynching bill which was introduced | into the legislature of that state by Ferdi- nand L. Barnett, Negro member of the lower house. This bill provides that the sum of 1,000 dollars be pald by such countles, to the heirs of any er killed by mob violence, with- thelt boundaries. With the suc- cessful passage of this bill, mob rule Tecelves a death blow, and another may take its course and jusice have method is provided whereby the law at lenst a chance—Where @ penalty is involved, the protection alforded prisoners will be proportionate, News also comes from Gulfport, sibee that a mob of infuriated whites secking to lynch tno Ne- groes on the charge of killing | a white man, lost its ardour and cooled its anger in the face of a machine gun placed at the Gulfport jail. This is Indeed good news, to learn that a determined and fearless sheriff in tho South has played well his part as exponent of the law, by using extreme measures of force to out wit the almost indomitable desire of 2 lawless mob, and give his prisoner the full protection of the law, of which mob vengence deprives him, Very recently, in Kentucky, 4 medal was bestowed on one of these brave sheriffs, by the Southern In. terracial Commission, as @ reward for saving the hfe of a prisoner through strategy.—Reward is ever productive of greater effort. ‘From these cases just cited, it can readily be seen that there are more ways than one, by ‘which lynching can be prevented, if it is the earnest Gesire of those who represent the Jaw and who are sincerely interested jn the right of justice. Whether a prisoner's life be protected from the fhob by artifie, force or legistration, the result is about the same. Law has a chance to take ts due course.
