Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE 8th W. Duffield St. PICTURE! No. 3, is the present house of worship built upon the ruins of the former building. This building is estimated at seventy per cent excess in value of the one destroyed, erected at a cost of $73,000. This building is clear of debt. The congregation is happy and advancing with the Kingdom. Such is the achievements of the leader of the Kaw Valley District forces for 1928. Surely, if the proper interest is manifested by the constituents, this leader can and will plan for the success of the work. "LET THE LION ROAR!"

D. the church edifices of his congregation, LEFT CHURCH KINGSTON DICTURE No. 2, is the building which was erected after the re-organization in which the name Rose Hill Baptist Church was abandoned and the 8th Street Baptist Tabernacle was taken. This building was destroyed by fire, February 19, 1917, shortly after its completion. Only $4,000 insurance was carried on the building.

"Watchman, what of the night?" Association sessions have passed into history and where are we? Besides splendid annual addresses and excellent sermons, what has been accomplished? The Neosho District stands ready to answer by enumerating some of its accomplishments. What is said to be the best session of its history was held with the New Hope Baptist Church of Chanute, Rev. C. O. Marshall, pastor. The key word, "Unity," was better exemplified than spoken for harmony prevailed throughout the entire session. Dr. P. D. Skinner conducted Bible Institute each session of the M. and D. U., and was very inspirational and helpful. Dr. J. R. Richardson took charge of the Association Proper May God prolong the lives of these fathers in Israel, that they may continue to lead us over the dangerous places. Many splendid spiritual sermons were preached, and one soul was happily converted. This is a highest point of the session and let it be said to the credit of Neosho, soul saving is the greatest objective of its meetings. And yet we raise some money. With Give us a trial $1.50 PER YR. NORTHEASTERN HOLD SESSION The Annual Session of the W. H. & F. M. Convention auxiliary to the North eastern District Association, was held Thursday, Aug. 25, 1927 at Second Baptist Church, Horton, Kans., Rev. P. J. Houston, pastor. This was one of the greatest meetings in the history of the Convention. The President, Mrs. Wm. Smothers is an untiring worker and is really bringing things to pass. Some features of the Convention were the devotional topics, "The Pre-eminence of Christ in Missions," which was fully discussed. The Scripture Exposition on the Bacatitudes by Mrs. G. D. Saunders of Atchison, Kansas and the Chart Demonstration on Missions by Dr. H. B. Bronson, Kansas City, Kans., were very instructive and highly appreciated. The educational hour was conducted by Dr. E. L. Scruggs, dean of C. B. T. Seminary, Topeka, Kans., in a very impressive way and the needs of education was vividly shown. Junior Mission Hour was conducted by Miss Lucinda Hammonds, Fanning, Kans. A presentation of the work of the Summer assembly at Topeka, was given by the Juniors each representing various departments, such as Bible Exposition, Church History, History of Missions, Church Music, Personal Evangelism and Pastoral Visitation, and giving a summary of the work of the these various departments and the instructor. It was thru the efforts of our worthy president, Mrs. Wm. Smothers, that we were able to enjoy such a treat. She having completed her course at this past Summer Assembly thought to inspire others and brought the Assembly to the Convention in the form of this demonstration by the Juniors. It was highly appreciated and complimented to the highest. The sermons by Rev. M. J. Smith, of Ft. Scott, and Rev. Geo. McNeal, of Kansas City, were inspiring, soul atirring and were listened to by an appreciative audience. Mrs. Emma Gaines, State President of W. H. & F. M. Convention; was with us and we considered our selves very fortunate as well as highly honored and do not hesitate to express our deep appreciation to Sis. Gaines for her splendid address and words of encouragement. The Voluntary Service; which is one of the special features of our Convention; was conducted by Rev. A. W. Ross; in a very impressive manner while several came forward and consecrated their service to the Master's cause. While our heart were made to thrill and our drowsy souls awakened by the program, yet we feel that much credit is due to our own beloved president, Mrs. Wm. Smothers who is the prime factor in bringing the great things to pass; and her annual address which was a masterpiece shall long be remembered by all who heard it, may she live long to carry on this good work.

Out of $427.88, $114.00 has reached its destiny. Here is our problem; at least 50% of the money raised should go for the work. Another Five Cents Per Copy BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE NICODE-MUS SUMMER BIBLE SCHOOL The Nicodemus Bible School was organized by our pastor, Rev. Jas. Moore, in 1924; for the purpose of better preparing religious leaders and teachers to meet the demands of modern church. The beginning however was very small and was thought by some to be a sueless institution. The attendance were the children from 3 to 14 years, their Bible stories, sand table demonstrations were the Bible and its Books, tion and music. The first demonstration was made in the Smoky Hill River District Association, which was held at this place in 1924 SECOND YEAR—1925. The school grew larger and more studies were added for the little folks; Bible Alphabets, sand table demonstrations, and Bible Stories Dramatized. For Psalms, Divisions of the Books of the Junfors, Lord's Prayer, Twenty-third Bible, Picturing coloring and music. THIRD YEAR—1926. The school had grown with leaps and bounds at this time, the school had increased to 33 in attendance and all appeared to be interested. Two visiting scholars: Amos and Francis Thomas of St. Joseph, Mo., and many, came through intense heat, with their pencils and note books, to be informed of the Great Creator, and better methods of church life. The studies: Little people: Bible alphabets, and Bible Stories, and singing. For Juniors and Intermediates: Five lessons in Memory Work, five lessons in Bible School History, five lessons in Bible Geography and Music. The first Bible School Commencement was give in July, 1926. Cards and stars were given as a reward for remembering The Lord's Prayer, the 23rd Psalm, The Ten Commandments and the Books of the Bible. Those passing were Emma Williams, Oetna Williams, Amos Thomas, Theresa Williams, Velva Vaughn, Francl Thomas, Novel Vaughn, Beulah Roberts, and Howard Bibbs. FOURTH YEAR 1927—Was the greatest in the history of the school, Instead of the Juniors and primaries, we had some of our elderly mothers, to whom we point with credit: Sister Rosle R. Clark, and Sister Ella Bridges, who was a great help to the school and Sister M. E. Thomas who taught the primary department, with great success. Mrs. Ola Wilson, public School teacher. The studies consisted of six lessons on "How to Study The Bible." Six lessons on "How to Teach The Bible." Six lessons on "Bible Structure; and six lessons on "B. Y. P. U. Methods." For Primaries: Baptist Young People's Catechism. The Commencement Program will be given at First Baptist Church, Friday night, Sept. 2. See program later. The church and its auxiliaries are going forward. We are expecting to install our electric plant at an early date. Sister Goens, Deacon Vaughn, Bro. A G. Alexander are on the sick list; Deacon Vaughn was able to be at service, Sunday. The Pastor reports a grand time at the Smoky Hill Association. READ THE STAR! Item: the Auxiliaries raise money by various means and the church attempts to collect its mission money, hence, most of the churches trail behind the Auxiliaries in finance reported. It seems that where churches allow giving entertainments to raise their expenses, they might also give them to raise their mission money. Neosho Association has paid on its budget of $1000.00, $464.15 direct thru the Association and boards; and is planning to cover more of its deficit at the Convention in October. We expect to do our bit in the support of the work without complaining about what we "have not." Rev, Chas, O. Marshall, Gen Sec. Chanute, Kansas. Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson [By RYV F. M. VILWAISH DD, Dean, Bloody Bible Institute of Chicago] (2, 1837, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for September 4 SOLOMON'S WISE CHOICE LESSON TEXT—I Kings 3 4-18. GOLDEN TEXT—Happy is the man who findeth wisdom and the man that getteth understanding. PRIMARY TOPIC—Solomon's Wise Choice JUNIOR TOPIC—A Young Man's Wise Choices INTERMEDIATE AND BENIOR TOPIC—Choosing Things Worth While YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Best Things in Life. Following the death of David, Solomon was anointed king (1 Kings 1:3-40). David had failed to show the people who should be king after him (v. 20). Though an old man, he is stirred into action by the combined appeals of Bathsheba and Nathan. He immediately sent for the faithful three—Zadok, Nathan and Beniah, and commanded them to appoint Solomon king 1. God's Gracious Offer (vv. 4, 5) Solomon made a lavish sacrifice to the Lord. The magnitude of the offering shows that he had strong impulse toward God and that he was unwilling to hold anything back from God. Following the sacrifice, the Lord made to him this gracious offer. This offer was not on the basis that the Lord cared for the number of animals, but the attitude of the man's heart toward him. "Ask what I shall give three," placed very wide possibilities before the king. God, as it were, signed blank checks and turned them over to Solomon to fill in any amount that his heart desired. This was not a reckless act on the part of God, for He foreknew what was in Solomon's heart to ask. This offer to Solomon is no exceptional one, for opportunities equally limitless are placed before us. God is saying to every one of His children, "Ask and it shall be given you." The matter with its limitations is placed before us in John 15:7. "If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." These unlimited offers are open to those who abide in Christ and let His words abide in them. 11. Solomon's Wise Choice (vv. 69) The Lord's gracious offer brought the king face to face with the responsibility of making a choice. There was no middle course open to him. God deals with all His children in such a way that a choice must be made by them. Solomon was keenly aware of the difficulty and responsibility of his position. David was a great king. For a young man to take up the work of an illustrious father and push it to completion is a most difficult task. Comparatively few ever succeed. Besides this, he had to deal with the disturbing elements which had been set in motion by the usurper, Adonijah. Being made to shoulder so great a responsibility so suddenly, brought him to keenly feel his insufficiency. In his reply to God he pleaded that his being king was not of his own choice but an act of God's loving kindness. He argued that, since God had made him king, He was bound to qualify him to fill the place. All who have been called of God to fill positions of honor and trust can surely exercise that same boldness of faith. When called to positions of honor and trust we should humbly present ourselves before God for help. To feel ourselves unworthy and unfit for great and responsible work and to cast ourselves upon God for help is not cowardice, but a good sign that we shall not fall at the critical moment. Solomon's object in asking for wisdom was not for display but for the good of others. III. God's Unstinted Gift (vv. 10-15). Solomon's speech pleased the Lord God gave him more than he asked Because he put wisdom first, God saw that he could be trusted with material good also. Christ saw the same thing when He said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6:33). He who puts God and spiritual things first in time and importance can be trusted with temporal things. That which God promised him above what he asked was riches, honor and length of days. All who feel the lack of wisdom can go to God with confidence (Jas. 1:5) God blessed Solomon with a singularly comprehensive mind (I Kings 4:29-34). He was a botanist, zoologist, architect, poet and moral philosopher Christian Life "The perfection of the Christian life is to lose sight of oneself completely and to make everything of Christ." No Man His Own Master No man is his own master; he is either governed by Christ or governed by Satan.—Echoes. God Is Faithful God is faithful, and he can never allow anyone to be empty in his blessed presence.—Echoes. Humility Humility is to make a right estimate of one's self.-Spurgeon. SEPTEMBER 4, 1927 DOERS OF THE WORD IN CHRIST James 1:19-27 Jesus answered and said unto them this is the work of God, that ye be believe on him whom he hath sent,— John 6:26. In order to do the word we must: 1. Know the word, "Thy word have I hid in my heart," 2. Love the word, "I love love I thy law," 3. Proclaim the word, "Ye shall be my witnesses." We need to learn to hear well, control temper and tongue. A mad man cannot work for God. The Devil is the only being that will employ him. God wants us to have a clean heart; and life a meek spirit and a receptive mind taking in the ingrained word which saves the life and soul. We deceive ourselves when we hear and fail to do. The defects are seen but not removed. Finally one forgets the spots. Janes admonishes that we see the law of liberty walk in the law of liberty and work by the law. If we do not controle our tongues, we deceive ourselves, when we believe we are Christians. However, we are not Christians because we bridle our tongues but we will bridle our tongues because we are Christians. True religion goes out for the unsupported, the unprotected, the afflicted and needy. It keeps the true Christian unspotted from the world. Thoughts: The fruit of that regeneration is doing the will of God. We are to keep our garments unspotted from sin. Not a garment with spots concealed, but a garment without spots. The world here means the realm of sin. Remember any sin will soil our garments. It is easy to do the will of God when we have the love of God. Wellington Notes.

PAUL NOTES There was a splendid attendance and an interesting study and review of the lesson at the session of our Bible School at 9:30 a, m. Our Pastor, Rev. ©. E. Brooks, preached a wonderful sermon at 11 a.m. He spoke of the Christlan duties and pledges to keep tle Com- mandments and of their power and influence upon the world by letting their light shine, as an example of a Christian life. Rev, Brooks preached again at the evening services, —s—- In my Sast installment I spoke of a colored woman who has achieved a unique success being the only woman in the world who built, operates, and owns the water works of a city. In this article I want to speak of the success of a colored man who made a notable achievement in the heart of the South, rising as he did from chattel to capitalist. Alonza Franklin Herndon, whe 1. cently died at the age of sixty-nine in Atlanta, Ga., was born in the back. woods of that state as a slave when Sherman broke the backbone of the rebellion he joined the tide of migra tlon toward Atlanta, then arising, Phenix-hke, from its ashes, At the age of twenty-one this boy was mak. ing only ten dollars a month, One night he visited the First Congrega. tlonal Church of Atlanta, and hear germon by the Northern pastor, 2 graduate of Yale, on industry, tem perance, and thrift as requisites for prosperity, Being famihar with an other type of sermon dealing in hell: fire and pearly gates, he was struck by the quietness, dignity and com: mon sense of this one, and decidec to try out the prescription, Wher he died, the other day, he was worth far beyond a million dollars, and h attributed his success to that ser’ mon, ‘ It would be interesting to note thi steps of his prosperity, He begat with a single barber's chalr, Hi main shop today in Atlanta, locate on the principal street of the city with its twenty-four chairs, is sai to be the finest in the world, It wai The Negro Star—For the good of the People this shop at which the recent barbers bill in Atlanta was aimed, by which whito barbers would secure an ad- vantage ever the colored. Ife began with a single plece of realty; today his estate comprises two hundred er more parcels of real estate, besides the Herndon Block, a modern office building. Not content with these in+ terests, he ventured out Into the in- surance business, and recently his company was rated as a millicn-dol- lar concern, doing business in seven different states, and employing over 700 men and women. He was born in a cabin; the home from which he was buried was one of the fineat In the city of Atlanta, he and his wife having traveled all over Europe for models for this suburben villa. Despite his prosperity, he never Jost his democratic simplicity, and was Intensely loyal to his people. He built hls magnificent home in thelr midst, as an ideal after which they might strive. Having known {n his youth the pinch of poverty, he was deeply sympathetic with the poor, and built a day nursery for the moth- ers, who had to go to daily toll and leave their little ones. Regarded as one of the leading business men of the city, he gave generously to all public enterprises, regardless of race. He was one of the largest givers to the Community Chest, Deprived of a liberal schooling, he gave his son the largest opportunity for mod- ern culture, and today, having gone through Atlanta University and Har- vard College, this son, who caught his father’s character, carries on the work that his ancestor began, ‘The news of his death was carried by the Associated Press throughout the country, and the exercises of his funeral stirred the city of Atlanta profoundly, white and black passing in tears by his bier. The commodious building of the First Congregational Church, where he got his initial in- spiration, was unable to contain even a small portion of those who desired to pay him tribute, The streets thru which the fifty cars of the procession passed to the Southview Cemetery, of which he, was president, were lined with white and black, and It required two trucks to convey the floral de- signs.
