THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.20. No.35. INSTRUCTIVE BOARD MEETING ELDORADO, KANSAS, Nov. 17 The Southwestern District Board Meeting at the Second Baptist Ch. Rev, J. R. Martin, Pastor, was a place of much information and in- spiration. The good people were at their best and reached a high mark in hospitality. Truly, they proved to be a great people, and lovers of God's Cause and messengers. The session opened with Ministers and Deacon's Meeting. A new-comer in the home of Rev. Geo. Alexander not him from being present to discuss: "The Hour of Prayer." Rev. K. Douglass kindled a holy fire in the discussion of the theme: "The Church and Auxiliary Official as Evangelists." He pointed out our short-coming and gave remedies whereby we could better the situation. Rev. B. L. Marchant discussed "The Preparation and Delivery of ons." which was marked with ability. He said in part, that the sener should know his subject, setting of, and time, reference; his people ought to believe that the message is what the people need and he is the proper salesman of these goods. It was discussed, "Organization-In Charge." He proved that there should be a oneness; all built on God's program, which is adequate. Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Carrie Pusson, President of the B. Y. P. II Convention, took charge. A heart felt devotion was conducted. Mrs. Phynola Cook discussed "Our Obligation to our State Work." She made the fact that the state was asking for $600 00 and that made it necessary for the District and local unions to pay a certain amount. We entered into a general theme: "An Educational Program that is adequate "Physical" by Rev. Wm. McIlvcen, who proved the necessity of having a healthy body for the mind, hunt. and the soul to dwell. We cannot even wear a drawing smile from an unhealthy body. Mrs. Olga baker discussed the "Social." Showing that we are social beings and will have our social side, and if it is not guided by Christian influences it will bring forth sinful results. B. J. W. Hayes discussed the "Intellectual." He proved that the better we are mentally prepared, the better service we can render. Rev. J. E. Duggle ably took care of the "Spiritual." Showing the spiritual man can better manifest himself when the body is healthy, the social contact is good and the mind is developed. The general summary by Bro. H. T. Sims showed that it takes the perfect workings of all parts to make the whole man perfect to please a perfect God. The Junior Hour in charge of Mrs. Phynola Cook, District Director of Junior B. Y. P. U., was right up-to-date and rendered a Thanksgiving Praise Service with Eldorado Juniors. The following topics were discussed; "There is a Place for the Junior in the Church," by Rev. N. J. Stoken, who had us to know that there is a definite place for the Juniors and nobody but Juniors can fill that place. Mrs. Laura Anderson spoke on "What is the Juniors' Place in the Church?" And we could see many duties in the church that Juniors would and could do with more exactness than the old people. Bro. H. T. Sims spoke on "How Can Young sole be the Life of the Church?" He made it plain that the church must move forward on the feet of children and that all old people who "on give the young people a chance should be killed, which became the "the key expression of the meeting." Thursday evening, Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Board, Mrs. Ida F. Bates, President in charge. We enjoyed a heartfelt devotion. Sweet music was furnished by the C. M. E. Choir, Rev. Goodal, Pastor, Rev. J. Martin discussed "The Why of Missions." We could see that God has no other plans to save the world. Rev. B. L. Marchant discussed "Our Obligations—How to Meet Them." He said, "The Church had no other excuse for its existence, except doing Mission Work or saving the world. Williams brought a short but truthful message. (Continued on page four) PHILIPP, MISS., Nov. 25—The Minster's Council and the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Convention convened here in the Bethel A. M. E. Church, Oct. 26, 27, 28, 1927 Rev. F. R. C. Durden, Presiding Elder, Mrs. D. E. Williams, President. Some of the most interesting papers were read by distinguished men and women. The convention was a success along all lines.

W. Brown, Pastor of the Swamp Grove M. B. Church, and Mrs. I. S. Durden. Rev. Durden, Presiding Elder, delivered his annual address; Rev. F. R. Freeman preached the annual sermon. We have one of the greatest leaders; under his guidance the old Sunflower District is bound to have success. To say the least, this was the greatest meeting of its kind. Friday, the 28th, was the record breaking day. At 9:30 a. m. the house was called to order. The spirit of the Lord seemed to have been waiting for the people to open the service; never saw so much rejoicing in a meeting of the kind. All good, Mr. B. Starks, S. H. Enright, Rev. and Mrs. M. M. Morris of the M. B. Church joined in and made it go sweeter still. Friday night, Mrs. Williams, being late, Mrs. Enright, President of the Palo Alto District, presided in her stead.

Brown, Pastor of the Swamp Grove M. B. Church raised $250 00 making a grand total of $1251.42 raised in Philipp, in those five days. Just a word move about the presiding elder, he is not a boss but a mer; to me he is a man of much ability, a dollar money king and an educational financier. We are prod to say that he is out for Episcopal honors and we ask that the readers of this paper would whisper a word to God that he might make the run for the bishopric. MRS. B. STARKS, Reporter.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS By Gerald Hamilton (Preston News Service) The main business of life is the pursuit of happiness. All other actions are but tributaries which empty into the sea of human desire. You have a God-given right to happiness. Just how you are going about getting your share depends, in the final analysis, entirely upon you. The you of today is an accurate representative of the thoughts of that you of yesterday and yesterday. No one was born into the world to be unhappy. My miserable men in life has been the result of illogical planning, or the poor working out of the plan on which happiness was to have been eventually constructed. In your case it may be either, or both. You may be waiting on the plan to work while a more effective method would be to WORK the plan. Contentment is your supreme gift from above. If you are not blessed thus, your problem should have your careful study. A more unbiased appraisal may come from a friend. He may see your case from a different angle. Proximity of conditions often renders them immune to a personal search of faults. There is always something or son one barring the passage of an ALABAMA GOV. TRIES TO STOP ARRESTS IN KLAN OUTRAGE ALABAMA GOV. TRIES TO STOP ARRESTS IN KLAN OUTRAGE (Freston News Service) MONTGOMERY, ALA., Nov. 18—A "split" between Governor Bobb Graves and Attorney General Charles McCall over the latter's recent statement that the Ku Klux Klan was chiefly responsible for the outrageous series of floggings that disgraced the State of Alabama, is reported. Both the governor and the attorney general were elected by Klan votes, but it is claimed that the governor has remained loyal to the "Invisible Empire," the attorney general has fallen out with them and the ruler of the klan and is opposing the outrageous wave of lawlessness that is sweeping through the state in the form of floggings, house and barn burning, threatening and various other forms of intimidation to citizens of the state. McCall charges that the klan is responsible for these outrages and he declares that is going expose a whole series of crimes committed by the members of the klan. Governor Graves has issued a statement purporting to defend the Ku Klux Klan and is said to be making a strenuous effort to shut off all funds needed in prosecuting the flogging cases. individual's happiness. Argue this pro and con, and, if fair with yourself, you will finally acquiesce with this statement. The discussion finally comes to rest on this question: Do you Care More for the Hindering Factor than You Care for Yourself? Has it Become so Attached—So Much a Part of You that dissection is too Painful? If so, go on being unhappy, which is any one's privilege; if, on the other hand, you yearn for the laughter of life, CUT LOOSE so that your journey through life may be care free. A rather new admonition? Granted. Rather and unsalted course now than an anchorage in the port of wrecked dreams in old age. (It may be that you are not doing your part. What may appear to be a thing or a person could be you, yourself.) (If have a heart-to-heart talk—just you and yourself, alone. You two can be pointedly candid. A spade may be called a spade without disturbing any one's sense of propriety. You may emerge from this conference an enlightened person.) This is not a high-brow sermon nor a prospectus of a book on the secrets of success. When one has straddled the crest of Happiness' waves and then trod the glossy nose on the floor of the ocean of despair—that one may speak out of the bitterness of experience. Five Cents Per Copy 'CRACKER' JUROR FIRED IN CRIMINAL COURT 'CRACKER' JUROR FIRED IN CRIMINAL COURT (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, PA., Nov. 17—Pennsylvania judges, at least those in Alleghany County, have no tolerance for persons serving on juries who hold "cracker" sentiments. William Coe, a painter, accused of racial prejudice, was summarily dismissed from jury service here Tuesday in criminal court by visiting Judge John Henninger, of Butler county. Coe was called on a jury being empaneled to try Jesse Duncan, aged 51, who had lived in Pittsburgh, 37 years and at one address in Charles street, North Side for 27 years, on a charge of murder. In the examination of the prospective talesman, Attorney William H. Stanton, counsel for the defendant, asked Coe, who is said to have lived in and near Baltimore, Md., previous to his coming to Pittsburgh, about three years ago, if he could find a fair verdict for a Negro. "I do not think so," Coe replied, and diplomatically pressed for a more specified answer by Attorney Stanton, he repeated the statement. Attorney Stanton then challenged the juror for cause and moved that he be dismissed from the panel, without pay, terming him unfit for jury service. Judge Henninger stated that a person holding such a view was unfit for jury service in Pennsylvania, and directed the removal of Coe's name from the panel without pay. Duncan was placed on trial for the slaying of Booker Dinwiddie, a neighbor, May 28, when Duncan according to Attorney Stanton, was acting in the capacity of a peacemaker in a quarrel over a debt among friends during a drinking party at his home, Dinwiddie being an innocent victim of the shooting.

Dean Moody Illibs Institute of Chicago) (3, 187, by Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for November 27 ISAIAH TEACHES TRUE WORSHIP LESSON TEST—Ia. 1:1-20. LESSON TEST—15a. 111-19. GOLDEN TEXT—O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together. I saw the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears. PRIMARY TOPIC—Worshiping God JUNIOR TOPIC—Worship That Please God INTERMILDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Worship That Please God YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Nature of True Worship Isaiah had a long ministry, beginning in the days of Uzziah and extending through the reign of Jotham, Alaz and Hiezkiah. For a history of the nation in this time see II Kings chapters 15 to 20. Isaiah's visions present the redemptive purpose of God through the consummation of Messiah's kingdom. Chapter I is the title to the whole book. It contains the great arraignment of the people for their sins. I. The Moral State of the People (vv. 21). 1. Filled Ingratitude (v. 2). 1. First ingratitude (v. 2). The universe is summoned to hear the Lord's complaint against Judah and Israel for their base ingratitude. 2. Intentual gladness (v. 3). The ox and the ass are proverbially stupid, but Isaac is stupid by execlal theing. Israel would not recognize this right as sovereign, nor author of mercies. 3. Habitual evil doers (v. 4) They were not sinners in not merely, but in nature and heart were laden with iniquity. By heredity they passed their vices from generation to generation. II. Their Consequent Miseries (v 59). I Their perplexity (v 5). Chastisement only huddened them their afflictions were followed by despair and more helpless sins. 2 Their awful confusion (v. 6) 2 Their awful confusion (v. 6) The calamity which befell them extended to all classes. No one was able to minister to their comfort. 3 Desolations in the country (vv. 7, 8). Revolts from within and invasions from without left their country desolate. Physical ruin always follows moral and spiritual decadence. 4. A saved remnant assured (v. 9). God's purposes cannot fail. A remnant was saved in Israel—a remnant shall be saved in the church. III. Formal Worship Resuked (vv. 10, 15). Their awful calamities were not due to the neglect of religious rites and ceremonies. They punctiliously observed the forms of religion while in dulging in iniquities practices 1. God does not need sacrifices (v. 11). Worship and service are not for God's benefit, but for that of the worshippers themselves. 2. God's attitude toward formal worship (vv. 12 14). The very rites and ceremonies which God ordained for the purpose of helping men to approach Him become disgusting and irksome, to Him. 3. God's refusal (v. 15). Every act of worship while the heart and life are steeped with laxity only incites the anger of the Holy One. IV. An Amended Life God's Requirement (vv. 10-20). Though the nation had so grievously sinned, their case was not hopeless in order to enjoy that mercy there must be: 1. A cleansing. "Wash you, make you clean." The washing by water symbolized the cleansing by the blood of the Son of God. 2. "Put away the evil of your doings." There could be no cleansing while continuing in sin. 3. "Cause to do evil." 4. "Learn to do well" (v. 17). One can only cause to do evil by learning to do well 5. "Seek judgment." One must not only be upright but self but should protest against the wrongdoing of others. Judges should be removed from the upressed. Justice should be done to the fatherless and the widows should be befriended. 6. Encouragement to come to God (v. 18). Though their guilt was great and the judgment which befell them was awful, God's pardoning and cleansing grace were sufficient. 7. Conditional promise (v. 10). This means that they could only en joy good on God's terms 8. Solemn warning (v. 20). Rebellion against God brings ruin. Religion Trusting God with a sincere and open heart, ready to obey what life suggests, asking His guidance, and ready to take it, believing in Him and simply trusting life to Him—that is religion.—James Keld. Cost of Discipleship Christ tells us to count the cost of discipleship, but He never asks us to count the gain. He knew we could not; there is no arithmetic to compute that.—W. L. Wathinson. B. V. P U. LESSON B. Y. REV. J. W. HAYES EZEKIEL 33:1.19. SUBJECT: "Ezekiel—Seringeh of God." He is one of the four great prophets, son of Buki, a priest, carefully educated. He prophisied 22 years, from 592—570 B. C. The book is well divided into four parts: I. The overthrow of the kingdom of Judah, chapter 1:24; II. The overthrow of the seven surrounding nations, chapters 25-32; III. Warning and promise to Judah and Israel, chapters 33-39; IV. The Ideal Temple, chapters 40-48. The word of God repeats its visit to the prophets of God and commands him to speak to the children of Israel. The people are warned to listen to the man of God who is set as a watchman. The prophet is to warn; the people are to hear. Disobedience on the part of the people will be visited by God's wrath. If the prophet speak not, What? If the people hear not, What? We can be a help to others by thought, word, attitude, act and it. There is an unconscious influence which we hold over our associates and how careful we should be to make that influence of the highest type. St. Mary Bapt. Church REV. J. E.

At 11:10 devotion led by Sister Daniels (this being Sisters Day.) Pastor Thomas brought a very truthful, logical sermon, 110m 1.0s. Subject: "Liberty," which was well analized: Introduction: Liberty, the state of being free; exemption from the will of another person claiming ownership of service or person. Liberty is one of the most valuable heritages of modern man. In the past, few men enjoyed it; under the present conditions there are few who do not enjoy it. It is one of the results of advancing civilization. Where there is no liberty there can be no progress. This is especially true of religious affairs. It has only been since the right of man to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience has been recognized that evangelical religion has made a distinct headway. The old policy of combining the church and the state, gave men narrow views and resulted in persecutions and trouble. Nowadays, this yoke is almost entirely thrown off. Thoughts on sermon: (1) Liberty Restowed by the Gospel. (2) Liberty not to be Abused. At 3 o. m., Rev. J. S. King preached a wonderful sermon for the Missionary Ladies, from the subject, "Strange wings," which was well enjoyed. B Y. P. U., at 6 p. m., opening by Study Course Conductor; lesson was taught by Rev. J. S. King. After whiter Group No. 3 rendered a very ritual Biblical program which was much enjoyed. 8 p. m., service opened with 20 minutes of real old fashion prayer service by the Missionary Band. Afterwhich Pastor Thomas, being filled with the Holy Ghost brought the message long to be remembered on the subject, "Fire." Text Jer. 23:29. Introduction; Fire is mentioned in many ways in the Bible, since the Hebrews used it for various domestic purposes, for warmth, and in their worship of God. Fire was not to be kindled on the Sabbath, and for burnt offering none could be used except the supernaturally lighted altar fire. There are a number of instances where accompanied divine appearances. The Bible is particularly explicit regarding the use of fire as an instrument of God's judgment and in the place of everlasting torment. Thoughts on the sermon: (1) God appears by Fire, (2) Fire emblem of God's Word, (3) Fire as instrument ventio ASSOCIATION PROPER Moderator..... Rev. J. H. Scott Osawatomie, Kans. Vice Mod..... Rev.

You were the best of brothers, and to forget you seems impossible. Mrs. V. M. Sims. PASSED TO HIS REWARD Many disappointed and sad hearts were made over the sudden and seemingly untimely death of Mr. F. F. Flake, the grocer on the corner of 11th and Ohio. He was found dead in his bath-room early Sunday morning with gas burning, and room very hot; so it is a question whether it was heart failure or overcome with gas. He was a young man, very unassuming, with ability for use and not for display. He and his co-partner (Mrs. F. F. Flake) had just completed a beautiful house on the corner of Ohio and Tenth and it was his anticipation for her to arrive from Tulsa, Okla., where she was teaching, to spend Thanksgiving, and while here to furnish the new home. Mrs. Flake has been teaching in Tulsa, for a number of years, while her husband sold groceries from their brick store on the corner of Ohio and 11th. He was superintendent of St. Paul A. M. E. Sunday School and was making good. He never sought a position, but would fit anywhere for cause's sake. It is generally thought that he was rising early to favor some of his customers, then he ready for his duty at his church. Mrs. Katherine Sellers Higgs was the only relative (a sister) of Mr. Flake, here, at the time of his death. The public mourns because there are so few like him—usually, if there is no big name and fame, no work for the Master. He was for service. His funeral was largely attended last Wednesday, at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Pastor Brooks officiating. Jackson Company Undertaking Establishment in charge. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CH. There was a good congregation that attended the 11 a. m. services. From Acts 24:22, was selected the text of our pastor Rev. C. E. Brooks. "With a great sum obtained I this freedom," were the words that conveyed a message of the great sacrifice, of an all atoning blood of Jesus that purchased our freedom on Calvary. Rev. Brooks preached again a splendid sermon at 8 p. m. A shock that was greater than words can express, was when the news was received at the opening of session of our Bible School, 9:30 a. m., of the sudden death of our Supt. Mr. F. F. Flake.

It was a yell of misery from a beggar seated in the market place of ancient Corinth, and trying in vain to reach an itching place in the middle of his back. "Does your back itch, too?" said a second beggar. "I'll tell you what let's do. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours!" It was a brilliant idea. In less time than it takes to tell it, both beggars were smiling contentedly, their backs well scratched and their misery gone. That was a perfect example of the benefits to be derived by cooperation. "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" expresses the idea to a nicety. When Kansas Gas and Electric Company says, "We want this community to grow and prosper, so that we can grow and prosper," it expresses the same idea in a different way. This company is wholly bound up in this community. If this community finds times hard, the company finds times hard, too. When the community is increasing in wealth and size, the company also increases. For this reason above all, your electric light and power company is interested in the upbuilding of your city as no single citizen in it can possibly be interested "At Your Service" = SSes Saree were ESS a.
