THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 27. BRIEF CALL TO KANSAS BAPTIST DEAR PASTORS, CHURCHES AND CO-WORKERS OF ALL DEPARTMENTS OF OUR MISSIONARY BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION: Our approaching State Convention which convenes on the 4th-9th of October with the Shiloh Baptist Church, Topeka, Kansas, Rev. L. V. Bolton, D. D., Pastor, is fraught with some grave problems; all of which can be met in the spirit of our Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. This spirit is obtained by a mind to serve unrelifishly in the kingdom work coupled with fervent prayer for wisdom to guide the officers and messengers of the Convention in the channel that leads to Christian harmony and co-operation in planning, adjusting and putting over our State program. Remember faith plus work is the victory that over cometh all difficulties in the work of Christ and in our line of Christian duty. For our Captain has said: "If, we have faith as a grain of mustard seed, we might say unto the sycamine seed, be thou plucked up by the roots and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey us." Luke 17:6. Brethren and Sisters, let us begin now and pray ourselves brimfull of the spirit of our Master. Pray for increase of faith to meet the grave responsibilities that confront us and for divine help to prevail over them by our good works and liberal contributions to our State work. For the work or battle is the Lord's; and in we possess the right spirit and faith in God coupled with work. He has promised to supply all our needs, according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:19. I thank God for every one of you and for your prayers for my recovery, which God has graciously granted. I am feeling fine in health and have grown in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ thru much prayer and supplication. Leave your doubts and fears behind and meet me at the Convention with a mind to work for His Kingdom to come in Kansas and the world. I urge you each and all to join with me in this appalling benediction. "Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us; unto Him le glory in the church by Christ Jesus, throughout all ages, world with- end. Amen. I am yours in Christian love, W. A BOWEN, President. MAN FALLS 70 FEET; IS LITTLE THE WORSE MAN FALLS 70 FEET; IS LITTLE THE WORSE (Preston News Service) SHELBY, N. C. Sept. 29—It seems that miracles certainly do happen in this day and generation. It appears that the following incident would make one believe that they are still possible. Last Friday, September 23rd, Y. Folker fell seventy feet from the trestle of the Southern railway on Broad River, and hit Mother Earth with a resounding thud and never cracked a bone. He seemed to be slightly frightened when excited scuers ran to his side expecting to pick up a limp, lifeless form. But stead, Folker smiled after he got his breath and told his rescuers that he was not hurt at all. X-rayed at the hospital where he was forced to go the examining physicians reported, "he is intact from head to foot." A few bruises, and a general shake up, was the sum total of the accident. Folker smiled and joked with the crowd that gathered around him after he left the hospital, saying that he had a very delightful experience passing down through the air. "I guess a fall from an airplane would not be so bad," he jokingly said. SHORTER COLLEGE OPENS 46 YEAR LITTLE ROCK, ARK., Sept. 29- Shorter College opened its forty-sixth year Tuesday morning. Mayor Lawhon, of North Little Rock, gave an address and was followed by Dr. S. L. Greene, former president, and now presiding elder. Other speakers were: Bishop I. N. Ross, Washington, D. C.; Rev. D. D. Cole, Waco, Texas; Dr. J. C. Thornton, college physician; and the music for the occasion was furnished by the college glee club. FARMER AND WIFE HAVE NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING (Praston News Service) HELENA, ARK. Sept. 29-James Lathan and his wife narrowly escaped drowning at noon last Tuesday, when their machine ran backward down a steep hill and off the gang plank at the Helena ferry dock into six feet of water, turning over. Lathan rescued his wife with much difficulty. Lathan is a prosperous farmer in this section. The accident occurred immediately after the arrival of the ferry boat from the Mississippi side. Lathan had been to Memphis for his wife and was returning to Knowlton Landing where he owns a large farm. MOTHER AND SON RECONCILED 'AFTER TWENTY YEARS' SEPARATION. Mrs. F. D. Kelley of 1157 North Washington, is one of the happiest mothers in Wichita, today. Twenty-years ago her two year old son, Willie was abducted from her by the boy's father. Newspapers, magazines, schoolboards and friends, and detectives have searched for this stolen boy, the last 20 years, without success. Fate intervened at last and on Monday the 26th, 1927, Mrs. Kelley received a letter from her son, who is a medical student at Fisk University, stating that he is on his way to a long sought for mother. Mr. Payne, Willie's father, was Mrs. Kelley's first husband and the abductor of the son she now awaits with an eagerness and tenderness that indeed brings a tear of Joy, to any mother's eye. Mrs. Kelley says that her boy is scheduled to arrive October 1st from Killowana, British Columbia, Canada. BRUTAL N.C. OFFICER ASKED TO RESIGN BRUTAL N.C. OFFICER ASKED TO RESIGN (Preston News Service) SHELBY, N. C. Sept. 30—The citizens of this community are feverishly discussing the latest development resulting from the fight in a back alley Saturday night between a policeman and two men. The cause of the enormous amount of discussion throughout the town here is because the policeman, Fred Dover, has been asked to resign by Mayor Dorsey as the result of an alleged return assault made upon one of the arrested men on Monday. At the time of the second flare-up the man was in the custody of the officer handcuffed and enroute to jail. NOTICE!

HEART STOPS BEATING, BUT PATIENT RECOVERS (Freston News Service), NORFOLK, VA., Sept. 30—William Jones left St. Vincent hospital here Friday of last week apparently well and on the raod to recovery from a knife wound in the heart. Jones was stabbed by a woman Monday night. Upon his arrival at the hospital in the police patrol it was discovered that his heart had stopped beating. To all appearances he was a dead man. Dr. M. S. Andrews, hospital resident physician, in an effort to restore respiration, gave the patient an injection of adrenalin, and the heart action, said to have been suspended for ten minutes, was resumed. Jones rallied, improved steadily and in five days was discharged from the hospital. St. Mark M. E. Church Rev. W. C.

It was suggested by the Pastor that the State raising the most money according to the number of persons in the State would receive a prize. Each state collected as much as possible. At 3 p. m., Texas reported the most, although it has 25 persons. The prize state will be published next week. Watch the paper and see if you are from that state. Total collection $188.49. Miss Velma Day, Reporter. The rainy weather Sunday, cut down the attendance at New Hope Baptist Church, services. Only 44 present at Sunday School, the Supt., being absent on account of sickness in the family. The financial discourse, "The City Set on a Hill," created quite an interest in the financing of the church's work. Both the Jr. and Sr. B. Y. P. Us., were fairly well attended, considering the rainy weather, and the interest in the lesson ran high. The evening sermon, theme, was, "The Marriage of the Lamb." A practical discourse on marriage, concluding with the spiritual thet of Christ's union with his church. The sick of our community; Little Maxine Fields, Bro. J. B. Odalr, Sister J. H.

DISTINGUISHED VISITOR The city of Wichita was honored last week with the presence of Mr. Max Yergen, a returned secretary of South Africa, a man with a great vision for his people. A few of the chosen men of the Y. M. C. A., promoters had the pleasure to listen to his wonderful experience of five years in Africa, at New Hope Baptist Ch., last Friday night. He has studied the prejudices of the nations, dependability of the Africans and the possibility of the people when they are brought to their senses. He feels that only the love of God can change the conditions. -While here on his furlough, he is raising funds to make proficient his work when he shall return. The men responded fine with their pledges and we believe his heart shall be made lighter to return to promote the great work he has begun. PROCTOR POINTS "Self Expression versus Self Denial" 1. The great central personality of the Scriptural revelations is Jesus, the central point of whose teachings lay in the cross. 2. The varied personalities of the Bible relate themselves in varying degrees to the central principle of Christ. 3. Among these are two supreme persons, Solomon and Paul, standing respectively for self expression and self denial. 4. Among the strong points of Solomon was his wisdom, humility and vision, over against which were his weak points, pleasure-loving, pessimism and impenitence. 5. Proceeding on the principle of self expression, the weaker elements got the better of the stronger, and he failed. 6. The trouble with the principle of self expression is that it substitutes self praise for self criticism. 7. On the other hand, Paul comingled weakness and strength, extremity, vindictiveness and boastfulness with zeal, loyalty and obedience. 8. But with the contrary principle of self denial, he transmuted the baser metal of his nature into the pure gold of character. 9. Accepting the principle of evolution for the body, the mind and the soul, self denial becomes the only true principle on which to build a life. 10. Take for your ideal method of life not the self expression of Solomon, but the self denial principle of Paul, for the former leads downward, the latter upward. Crith, Mrs. M. M. Glover, Mr. Sam Simmons and Rev. C. O. Marshall. The New Hope Baptist Church is preparing for a great soul-saving campaign in October. Mrs. M. G. Glover entertained on Tuesday evening with a dinner in honor of Mr. Lemuel McCullough. Those present were: Mr. Lemuel McCullough, Mrs. Geo. Berry, Mr. Sam Simmons, Rev. G. O. Marshall, Mrs. Ada McQueen, Mr. and Mrs. Shelle Rollins, and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Crith. A very pleasant evening was spent in games and riddles. Go to Mrs. Anna Witherspoons, 265 N.

Five Cents Per Copy THE BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS Every minister is held responsible before God for the results obtained from your church, for you are the watchmen. Secretary A. W. Ross has made it clear to all that the work is running behind to the amount of nearly $4000.00 which is but "a bit" for 20 thousand Baptists in Kansas. Bro. leaders, there is not enough zeal put into the work. If every pastor would lay down his $1.00 and lay heavily on the mind and heart of the people the reason for this special effort for the next 2 (two) Sundays before the State Meeting in Topeka, we guarantee that the money will be raised and some to spare. If you really are anxious about this Kansas Program, you would raise this money yourself. Dr. Ross and Sister Bates and their committees have outlined a very instructive program; if you have not received yours, you should write Dr. Ross at once 821 Clay St., Topeka, Kansas. It is possible that you are on this program, and the program will be a failure without your number. Every sister in the State who is leading a local circle should throw her whole influence into play in order to make this the banner year for her society in Topeka, Oct. 4-9; bring in the largest amount of money. God is watching you, seeing all you do. If you are really leaders, prove it. The laymen want to do, only awaiting your orders. Fuller, Memphis, Rev. R. P. Pollard, Dr. W.H.R. Powell, Lynchburg, Va..
