THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE THE LEGEND OF THE MISSING MAN 36TH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MISSIONARY BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION INECUTIVE SECRETARY A. W. ROSS, SUPT. OF MISSIONS. Vol. 20, No. 37, 36TH ANNUAL REPO ARY BAPTIST S EXECUTIVE SECRETARY A. TOPEKA, KANSAS, OCT. 4-9, 1927 BROTHER PRESIDENT, OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE MISSIONARY BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION OF KANSAS. GREETINGS, "Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father to whom be glory forever and ever." Gal. 1:3-5. "Elessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comforts; who comforteth us in all our affliction that we may be able to comfort them that pre in any affliction through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the suffering of Christ abound unto us, even so our comforts also aboundeth through Christ." Cor. 1:3-5. Knowing always brethren that if we suffer (with him) we shall also reign with him.—II. Tim. 2:12. Beloved, coming to you or with you out of one of the most unusual years of our adventures, we have not accomplished all that we attempted and yet the help and things most needed have been realized this year. The visions were clean, the challenge championed, and the victory in the manner dealt with, and the loneliness it established, was very marked. While we did not or have not accomplished all that was to do and to be done, we were in a position to weigh our strength and balance our power, which brought the needed information that all before us could be done by us, when we allied our arms together for the task. We have increased our responsibilities in many ways which calls for added revenues. On the other hand we have not increased the resources to meet this demand. Yet, we are confident with the proper and necessary working together and planning out the way, we will be able to meet the needed expansion of the work. The Pastor is God's Keyman, to a people of the earth. We still have full faith in the called Ministry. A calling, far different from the professions selected as a choice of work and men make. But a call to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A calling of God. Selected of God. God calls a man surrender all other vocations however profitable and magnificent and then like Paul, count them as dung. To preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. An Jesus was and is differently the Son of God, especially given to the world for a service, only God the Son would perform, and none other, just so is the "Called Minister" given a message and a service, other men not called cannot do. There is no doubt about the Pastor, "God's Called" is God's Keyman. He is to point the way. He is to direct the church. He is to lay out the plans for the others to follow. The church and he world must ever know that the Minister is called of God. When people lose faith in God Called Men, they lose faith in the Church, and when they lose faith in the church, they lose faith in God. The three are inseperable; Called Ministers, the Church and God. Called of God, ordained by Elders and sent out by the Church. It is God's plan, there is no other way. BROTHER MINISTERS: we are called or we are not at all God's Pastors of the people. God is in and with his own. God will make His commissions known. The Minister's voice is the echo of God's voice calling to the world lost in sin. The Minister's message is Heaven's message revealing God's truth to the world. The Ministry is Divine: In Love, In Mercy, In Courage and in Righteousness. Let the Ministry lead on. God givev the victory. If the church has a task to do, let the Minister present it to the Church. If the Church is slow to her duty, let the Minister exhort to action. If the Church is without vision, in God's name, Brother Minister, "Called of God," visualize your congregation. Without a vision the people perish. The greatest position in all the earth is to be Called Baptist Preacher. Places as the Shepherd of a congregation, of Called-out Baptist, Fumersed Believers. One thus qualified will not be popular. Neither will be popular in the political circle of men. The political circle of men only men men who will adhere to their political policy and can be used to advance their personal interest. Do not feel that you are not of much value to the people and the ages you live in, because you are not selected to political preferment. When politics mean to sacrifice, the truth of the church, and the principles of Jesus Christ, abide by the Church and Jesus. BAPTIST CHURCH The Baptist Church as it stands today is the open forum of Pastor and members; one to another. It is about the only institution open to the people or public to freely assert its voice in social affairs. WICHITA, KANSAS. FRIDAY, Dec. 9, 1927. FESK JUBILEE SINGERS ABOARD THE PENNLAND FESK JUBILEE SINGERS ABOARD THE PENNLAND (Preston News Service) NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 9-The Fisk Jubilee Singers sailed last Friday night aboard the Steamer Pennand, bound for Plymouth, Cherbourg and Antwerp. The Fisk Singers will our Europe, visiting the principal titles in practically every country of the continent. The Baptist Church offers the sole opportunity for the highest development of democracy. When a man less fortunate born than his neighbor, has his more fortunate neighbor's opportunity to prove himself for highest honor, the Baptist Church is the only opportunity for his ambition. Its Doctrine is, "All men up, none down." The Baptist Church is the place where all of God's Called men sit together and as brothers, study the plans and principles of a Common Father, "God." There they feel each other's care and each other's burdens share. The Baptist Church might be the slowest way to bring humanity to God, but it is God's way and the best way and the only way. No one yet has ever embarrassed me with any expression they made about the Baptist Church or the Called Baptist Preacher and smallest Baptist Church is greatest and the most honored of all other men and institutions. It is the Baptist Church with the great message of ebaulity of men, equally borned spiritually. Let us propagate and hold..... the principle and tenates of Baptist Church. The Hope and Salvation of all the world. NOI THERN CONVENTION AND NATIONAL CONVENTION The Northern Convention met at Chicago, Illinois, May 30-June 5. It is reported that accredited delegates numbered about four thousand, and that visitors quite as many. Probably no other convention meeting (of this group) had an attendance so large and so well sustained. Several times between nine thousand and ten thousand were in the auditorium. The Devotional Addresses by Dr. George W. Truett of Dallas, Texas, were an outsealing feature of the meeting. The spirit of the meetings was fraternal, smooth, dignified and co-operative. Controversy did not emerge. It is said that the tone of the Convention was not controversial, but spiritual. The good will among the several groups was strengthened and that all the delegates carried to their homes a feeling of cheer, confidence and renewed courage. Our own Mr. W. C. Coleman of Wichita, Kansas, was elected President. Next meeting at Detroit. NATIONAL BAPT., CONVENTION The National Convention met at Detroit, Michigan, Sept. 6-12. One of the largest delegations in the history of the convention met at this great convention city. The convention held its meeting at the Amory, which seated about four or five thousand people. And the Women's Convention at the First Baptist Church is reported that all sessions at both places had an overflow and as many people were left on the outside as could gather within. The Address of Dr, L. K. Williams was one of the outstanding features, and showed him to be the great Moses of the race, whose great hope is the unification of the Baptists of America. The Reports of the different Boards showed marked progress and an increase in business done along all lines. The next meeting place will be Louisville, Kentucky. While I desire to be with my Prethet and to have their great association and to be helped by the superior knowledge and deeper spiritually, I sacrificed both Northern and National Convention this year, feeling that I was making a contribution to carry forth our State Work.

Pastor Thomas brought a wonderful message from Matt, 5:9; subject "Peace."—Peace is that state of mind in which persons are exposed to no open violence to interrupt their tranquility: (1) Social peace is mutual agreeemen one with another, whereby we forbear injuring one another. (2) Peace is freedom from contentions and rest from persecutions. (3) Spiritual Peace is deliverance from sin by which we were at enmity with God the result of which is peace in the conscience—this peace is the gift of God thru Jesus Christ; it is a blessing of great importance. (4) The peacemaker. (5) Eternal peace. Mrs. Alice Reddin Klaser of Lawrence, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Reddin, passed thru, Saturday, enroute to Independence, to attend the funeral of her sister in law Mrs. Irene Reddin. Mrs. Alice Brown is visiting her daughter in Kansas City, for an indefinite time. The Home Mission Society met at the home of Mrs. A. W. Walker on last Tuesday. After routine of business, the Bible Study was conducted by Pastor Thomas; afterwhich Sister Walker served a delicious luncheon. CONDOLENCE. CHERRYVALE, KANS., Dec. 4—From the Pastor and Members of the Bethlehem Baptist Church to the Companion and Relatives and Friends It was with profound sorrow that we learned of the death of Sister Irene Reddin. We cannot think of her as gone forever, and we trust that the hope of reunion will be to you a balm and consolation. The future may seem dark and dreary to you, but we have every reason to believe that the beloved one is enjoying the radiance of that light ineffable that admits no night nor clouds of grief. May the Good Lord give you Five Cents Per Copy GHETTO MINDEDNESS Dr. Alain Locke, Professor of philosophy at Howard University, Washington, D. C., was the speaker at the Monster Meeting last Sunday and he addressed the men on the subject, "Shall We Live in a World or a Ghetto?" In introducing his subject, Dr Locke referred to his many visits to the Ghetto section of Frankfort-on-the-Main in Germany where for many years the Jewish population of this city was segregated in a manner more complete and degrading than any segregation or "Jim Crowism" practiced against the Negro in this country. The old gate post holes are still in evidence there, but the restricted area no more exists and it was abolished primarily by the individual efforts of Jews themselves. While they were physically proscribed, never were they mentally or spiritually bound by these artificial barriers. Dr. Locke indicated that there was a distinct parallelism between the Jews on the continent and the Negro in this country in the matter of treatment, and suggested that the lever that has raised the Jew in the estimation of the world and given him enviable freedom could be used with admirable advantage by the Negro in his fight against segregation and for full emancipation. He called attention to the stragetic potion of the Jews at the beginning of the World War due to their great financial power, particularly through the house of Rothchilds both in England and France and in Germany, mentioning this as an example of what a group could do in spite of obvious handicaps. Dr. Locke warned his audience against the possibility of the Negro becoming provincialminded, forgetting to extend his powers of interest to all phases of community, national, and international activity. To this condition he applied the term of "Jim Crow Mindedness" which adequately expressed the point of view. He suggested that the Negro show an intelligent interest in politics by studying the issues; that he concern himself with economic problems, and that withal he should develop a "world\mindedness" as opposed to "ghetto-mindedness," if he is to take his place in the world of great races and contribute to the world's civilization. More than 400 men greeted Dr. Locke and at the end of his speech accorded him a tremendous approval and voted that he speak on the Monster Meeting Program next year. strength to bear this burden in service of a faith that takes hold on eternity. Authorized by the Bethlehem Baptist Church, Mission Sisters, S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Rev. Wm. Thomas, Pastor. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CH. There was a good attendance at the session of our Bible School, 9:30 a.m. The Junior Church held their meeting 10:30 to 11 a.m. Rev. Brooks delivered a message that was impressive.

The India All Society held a hazard on Wednesday and Thursday evenings with a special feature of entertainment. Xmas programs have been arranged for the S.S. and Choir. G. L. A. CLUB NOTES The members of the club met on Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. C. Tillman in the home of Mrs. F. Witkina. "Is the Negro capable of representing the Race in Politics?" was the subject of a round table talk led by Mrs. Ida Gravelly, and was discussed with much interest. Question on Negro laws was to be brought in next week by the members. A delicious repast was served by the hosts. They will meet next week with Mrs. L. C. McCullough. Sunday School Lesson (By REV, P. R. FITEWATER, D.D. Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (© 1973, by Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for December 11 ISAIAH COUNSELS THE RULERS LESSON TEXT—Isa. 27 8-111 14-10. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed, on Thee: because he trusteth In Thee. PRIMARY TOPIC—God's Care for Jerusalem JUNIOR TOPIC—God's Care of a Nation INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—God the Ruler of Nations YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Recognition of God in National Affairs. The committee has given as the scripture units chapters 7, 31, 36 and 37. It will materially help in the grasp of the lesson if brief attention be given to these chapters; therefore in the outline brief reference will be made to chapters 7 and 3f while confining the main exposition to chapters 36 and 37. 1. Isaiah's Message to Ahaz. 2. Prophecy concerning Immunol (ch. 7). The occasion of this prophecy was an invasion from the north by Israel and Syria. This invasion greatly alarmed Abaz. To calm his fearful heart Isalah assured him that God's purpose concerning the nation would not fall. He urged the exercise of faith in God, offering to confirm his faith by working any miracle desired. While with false humility he refused a sign the prophet announced the giving of a sign which would be the birth of Immanuel. 2. A promise of divine protection (ch 31). Abaz foolishly called for the help of Assyria and Egypt against Israel and Syria. Isalah rebuked him for it, showing him clearly that his only help was in God. II. Judah Invaded by the Assyrians (Isn. 30). 1. Kabbalah meets a deputation from Judah (vv. 121). He represented Sennocherlh, the king of Assyria, whose mission was to induce Judah to surrender. His method to accomplish this was: (1) Intimidation (vv. 49) He tried to bully them into submission. (2) Misrepresentation (v. 10). He asserted that it was useless for them to put their trust in God and even declared that the Lord had sent him to destroy Egypt. (3) He tried to create a panic among the people (vv. 1321). Pearing such a panic the deputation of the Jews urged Rabshakeh not to speak in the Jews' language. (4) He promised them plenty in another land (vv. 10, 17). 2. The report to Herekhil by the deputation (v. 22). They rent their garments in fear and dismay over their perilous condition, for the crisis long before predicted by Isaiah had now come upon them. III. Hezekiah's Behavior (Ian 37) 1. Resorted to the House of the Lord (v. 1). This is a sure retreat for God's people in time of distress (Ps 7:16, 17; 73:13). This action was prompted by faith, for God had promised that whoever in time of distress resorted to His house would be heard by Him (II Chron. 7:15, 16). 2. Sent to Isafah (4v. 2-7). The natural and logical thing for the king to do under such circumstances was to send for God's prophet 3 Hoschiah's prayer (vv. 1420) Rabshakeh, who seems to have with drawn from Jerusalem for a little while, now returned from Sennachouh with a letter warning Hezekiah against trusting God for deliverance, for no God was able to stand against the Assyrian army. He spread the letter before the Lord and praised (1) He recognized God's throne, ranking it the ground of his plen (v 16). He reposed his faith in the lord ship of Jehovah, knowing that all power and authority resided in Him (2) He recognized the poil which threatened the people (vv. 17-19) (3) He asked for deliverance (vv. 20) 4. Isiah's message to Hezekiah (vv. 21-31). (1) The "nencheh's sin was blaspheme " only One of Israel (2) I forgotten that he at in God's hand (v) (3) That I sent upon Sennachelb was found (vv. 29-32). IV. The Assyrian Army Destroyed (vv. 30-38). The angel of the Lord went forth and slew in the camp of the Assyrians 195000 men, so Sennachelb was turned back by the way he came. I have always found in my scientific studies that when I could get the Bible to say anything upon a subject it afforded me a firm platform to stand upon, and a round in the ladder by which I could safely ascend.—Lieutenant Maury.

L. GREER, Prop. B. Y. P U. LESSON DECEMBER 11. 1927. BY REV. J. W. HAYES "MONEY AND RELIGION." Mark 12: 41'44. Prof. James the Psychologist says, "The sense of ownership begins in the second year of life." Among the first words and infant learns to utter are "my and mine." Our modern world is like a child, if it can secure possession, it says: "The thing is mine." The child reaches after a toy, while the race reaches after wealth. If religion is a passion and struggle to live up to our highest moral and spiritual ideal; it has to do with our attitude and toward our disposition of money as well as our attitude toward God and man. How to spend money is perhaps more vital than how to make money. A man may be honest in making but dishonest in the spending of money. Our religion should govern our money and not our money our religion. It is interesting to note that Jesus is watching the treasurer. He sees who is casting in what they cast in and the spirit with which they make the offering. Christ knows the sacrifice we make and the willingness with which we make it. The offering is measured not by the amount but the sacrifice and spirit. Christ wants His gift from life's treasure. Yea, not only the sustenance of life, but life itself. As Christ watches the treasure today, what does He see? Some going grudgingly, some sparingly, some phariseeacallily, and some freely, gladly and lovingly. QUETSIONS: Why should we give to God's treasure? What should we give? How, when and where? Is a man honest who will pay his secular bills and not take tithes to God? Mal. 3. What is the difference between the man who robs a bank and the man who robs God? What is the right to finance the Kingdom of God? Cherryvale News Notes. (Continued from last week) their punishment.

OF course the Seminary Increases our responsibility and means that morg money must be ralsed for its fbonke and maintenance. Already, the nted of current expenses has dug deep into our meagre allowance and caused us to go to them that has, to keep this work going, Brothers, if we are to have a Bl- ble School, which is greatly needed fn our State, let us face the respon. sibility and enlarge our Budget to meet the demand. Dr. Scruggs has come to put over the fob, He is cap- able and qualified and determined to give Kansas Baptists a Seminary for which they can feel proud. He necds a Divinity Hall. If we plan well and carefully, we can build this Hall, for it Is needed. THE MISSIONARY PASTORS This phase of our State Work, has placed Kansas Conventicn in the front Rank of organizations in King- dom bullding. If for no other reason than the support of the Missionary Pastor, the organization of our great convention has just cause to live. We have not had as many sta- tions this year, as last, but the amount given to each Misstonary Pastor was somewhat increased. And yet the amount was very small. In order to realize the help that would sustain and make possible the class of work desired, we must do more. We want to continue our present Budget System to each church, but it would be a great for- ward step to have some of the larger churches to take the responsibility of paying the help of one or more mission stations for a year, God would bless any church which would venture on any such missionary en- terprise for the extension of His Kingdom. We have had only fifteen to eigh- teen mission ‘station this year, and from twelve to nineteen Missionary Pastors. Yet they repoit having preached over 1975 sermons, held 1115 prayer meetings and received into churches 111 members. Each station"has made regular donation to the District and State Work. The Missionary Pastors and their sta- Hons that we have helped during the last year are as follows: Rev. R. B. Bullock, Sedan; M. J. Houston, Hia- watha; H. H. Hopson, Humboldt; J. H. Hale, Coffeyville; Jas. H. Scott, Ossawatomie; J, C. Moon, Kinsley, Larned; J. R. Martin, Eldorado; Walter Shook, Holton; E. N. Games, wdwardsville; Wm, Thomas, Cherry yale; Mervert Hopkins, Oswego; Frank Williamson, Hillsdale; J. H. Houston, Horton; N.J. Stokes, Pratt; Nelson Sowell, Russell; G.

Jackson, Student Pastor vork at Lawrence, For the first time we were not ble to meet our obligations to our lissionary Pastors. The past quarter found us unable 9 meet this obligation, but we will ettle this as one of our sacred obli- ations, All of these men are wore hy and must be supported on these mailer fields, t The Baptist State Convention, white) has not relaxed their help, ut are continuing to co-operate in ur most worthy missions.

No, It shall not be 80, we shall put Christ first, and at any cost, we will carry on for God and for His Kingdom. Brother, the Program of the Kingdom calls for suffering, shall we with Christ bear the cross and endure the shame? Ai the Keyman of God, we have grave problems ahead. Our Nation must point Christward. In the lar- ger problems, such as the brother. hood of man, the race relations and 80 set forth, we must continue to lead on for the right adjustment in Jesus’ own way to solve these prob- lems. The action of the Race Purity Bill in Georgia, and the Act of 900 School Children approved by the Board of Education in Gary, Indiana, is but the hidden expression of a large number of people, South and North. | These two examples present a very serious reflection of what we migit face in the future to farther retard the Kingdom of God in our Nation. As Called of God, let us be patient and long suffering, and al- ways say and act as we feel our Lord Jesus Christ would say and act Remembering always, we are here to advance God’s Kingdom to all men, “That Thy Kingdom come and Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” This attitude will require you to suffer with Christ and as Christ suffered, His whole life from | the cradle to the grave was a daily dying. He suffered shame, suffered | at the hand of Churchman, Priest, and Levite. Suffered at the hand of those He had just blessed, whose voices cried, “Crucify Him.” Suffer- ed until, in agony great drops of sweat like blood ran down (His brow) and in agony He prayed.
