THE NECRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 40. 'OUR HOMELAND MUST BE SAVED' APPEAL OF THE BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS AND CHURCH EXTENSION. OUR Homeland must be saved from the perils which threaten it. This is the earnest call which the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension sends out to the Church. In pleading for our own country, it is not because we love others less but our own the more. America must be made and kept Christian in fact as well as in name. Merely nominal Christianity will not do. It must be a vital Christianity that will permeate and dominate our national life. "Not every one that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdoms, but he that doeth the will of my Father." It is not more slilbobolthes or formulas or doctrines which are needed, but more legendary Christian life. The supreme task of our own church and of all the churches at the present time is to make and keep America Christian. It can be done, it must be done. To fail here is to endanger the whole Christian program for the redemption of the world if we cannot enthrone Christ in the heart and life of our own country, we can hope to take Him ot others? we have made to good a start and turned back and defeated by the and turned back and defeated by the faces of evil. Much remains to be done, but we can and will do it. America is already Christian in name; it must be Christian in fact. In the name of God we set up our masters. None banishes discouragement, and faith triumphs over fear. If the Lord is on our side, He is more than all that can be against us. If we keep step with Him, it is daybreak everywhere for Christian faith and achievement. To all Christian men and women, and especially to our own Methodist stand for and maintain, as never before, we send out the call: Let us fore, the true Christian standards and ideals in our own country. We must take and keep America Christian, Christian in government and politics and society, Christian in senate and court and market place, Christian in and in industry, christian in national and international relationships, Christian in racial and inter racial associations, Christian in everything and always. Eager eyes are looking toward us from the ends of the earth to see if Christianity mean what we say out it and will do what we claim for it. We must not fail. We shall surely win. Our own land must be made and kent Christian. Philadelphia, November 20, 1927 —The Christian Advocate, Dec. 1, '27 Leavenworth Kansas General Service Schools Det. No. 2 The soldier boys in this organization have enjoyed a glorious Christmas with a Christmas tree at the Service Club on Saturday night, Dec. 24. Everything was swell. Wives, children and sweethearts enjoyed them in the soldiers. Sunday Christmas Day was a pleasant one; the dining hall was decorated from two to bottom with the prettiest of colors. Dinner was served at 1:00 clock sharp. Sgt. Harper in charge of the Mess, saw to it that every man in the organization got a square deal, everything that one could wish to was on the table and everyone enjoyed themselves. First Sgt. M. McCree gave a lecture in the dining hall from the subject of "Discipline and Cleanliness." Sgt. Reese a soldier and a gentleman. He will soon from active duty. He has served his country and government honestly and faithfully for almost 30 years. Monday, Dec. 26, the soldiers gave a dance at the Service Club, where many visitors joined them in their celebration. Everyone seemed to be very happy. The Service Club is a place for recreation, motion pictures, games and dancing. Whenever you are in Fort Leavenworth, visit the club and enjoy a pleasant evening. I.C. S. B. Moore is President of the Club. Fort Leavenworth, is a beautiful place, located on the banks of Missouri River and has very quiet, scenic especially in the springtime; in fact it is one of the largest forts in the army. A great many people have the strong conception about army life, men in the service have everything to their advantage. Some men in the army as well as men in Civil Life will appreciate opportunities and profit, when others merely drift through life satisfied with anything. If the people really knew or would consider that soldiers are the backbone of the country in which they live; just of them as defending your homes, wives and children. Soldiers are as much against war as the people in civil life, but when there are no other way to solve the international problem, then comes your friends to fight for your country and old glory. You might say they are treated rough, but they are not.

WATCH TOWER NOTES The Christian world is called upon to read the Gospel of Matt. during Jan. 1928 and Luke in Feb. Nothing we can do will go further to help our world than reverently reading God's Word. You can get these Gospels for 1c a copy, at any place where Bibles are sold. WTN The Executive Committee of the Federal Council of Churches will meet in Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 23, 24, 1928. Our N. B. C., is usually very largely represented and we hope that there will be an equally good attendance this year. WTN Hundreds of our Pastors in many parts of the country will begin revival meeting on New Year's night. Let prayers rise from every heart for the coming of the Lord in saving power and for the saving of millions of our people in our winter revivals. The old time Gospel is just as powerful now as ever—Let us pray. In the most earnest way possible we call upon every Baptist who is sane enough to be proud of our Publishing house, the most up-standing achievement of our group in all this land to send in your pledge and collection from your church to Dr. Townsend in time to help meet the $50,000 payment on our indebtedness, January 8, 1928. "Keeping back the price," by Ananias and his wife, as shown in the Acts of the Apostles may have retarded the Jerusalem church but it cost that dishonest, greedy, grafting, couple their lives and brought an ignomy on their names down through the ages. "Deal truly with my Master," is safest WTN There are said to be five hundred a n sixty-seven radical papers, printed in twenty different languages now being circulated in the United States; three huedred and fifty-two of these are printed in foreign countries and sent here—over one million copies are distributed every day in the year. But it seems that as a rule, the Negro is the first always to get the benefit of severe and testing measures and this fact is closely linked with Mr. Garvey's deportation. Of course our Government knows where every radical publisher lives; knows all he prints and where it goes; in self-defense it makes an example of some one time the blow fell on Mr. Garvey, whenever occasion arises and this which we greatly de-lose. On the other hand it is regrettable that our country should be bered; its laws violated and its people cursed by those to whom it furnishes an asylum. With all her faults, the U. S. A., is the best place on Mother Earth for the oppressed, black and white. On January 15th, all Christians will celebrate the Eights Anniversary of the going into effect of the Eighteenth Amendment. Church Dells will ring, choirs will sing, pastors will preach and great orators will speak. Let us all take part No single enactment in history means so much. The Emancipation in the West Indies, in 1832 freed many slaves. Our own Emancipation January 1, 1865 freed four and a half million, but when the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect it freed all aur citizens 100,000,000 strong. Schools for higher learning everywhere are crowded; more of our own, as well as other people have homes and bank accounts and we enter 1923 the most outstanding country in all the world. Take part in celebrating the adoption of Prohibition Amendment. Run from moonshine, shun bootleggers; do right; fear God, and 1928 holds a blicking for you and yours. Yours in His Service, L. G.

Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago ) (1937, by Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for January 8 LESSON TEXT—Mark 1 21·45. GOLDEN TEXT—He hath done all things well! He maketh both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak. PRIMARY TOPIC=Jesus Makes Sick People Well. JUNIOR TOPIC—John Welcomes and Baptizes Jesus INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Jesus Shows His Sympathy and Power YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Jesus' Power to Make Whole. The purpose of Mark in this section is to show Jesus Christ the Divine Servant hearing God's message and clothed with the power to save lost souls. Coupled with His superhuman strength is revealed His unwearied sympathy, giving itself out in helpful and saving service. 1. Jesus Teaching With Authority (v. 21, 22). 2. The place (v. 21). It was in the synagogue in Capernaum where He with four disciples required "straightway" upon His entrance into the village. He availed Illinois of the regular channel of instruction. Though many abuses had crept into the synagogue service, He chose to associate the new with the old order. 2. The time (v. 21). His faithfulness in observing the Sabbath brought Him to the place where the people assembled to worship and to hear the Scriptures expounded. He came not to destroy but to fulfill the law, even the law of the Sabbath. 3 The Impression (v. 22). The people were astonished. Two things about His teaching impressed the hearers. The substance of His message. The scribes, the professional teachers of the law merely quoted the authorities, but Jesus with first-hand knowledge set forth the truth with the enthusiasm of freshness and personal conviction. This distinction was quickly detected by those who heard Him. H. Jesus Conquering Demons (vv. 23-28). 1. The outcry of the demon posessed man (v. 23). Perhaps he interrupted Jesus while He was teaching. When the power of God is manifested there is bound to be an outcry of the evil spirits. 2. The demon's confession (v. 21). "Thou art the Holy One of God" The one whose chief business it was to waste and destroy human life was in such miserable state as to desire to have nothing to do with Christ, and was now forced to confess Him as the Holy One. 3. Christ's attitude toward him (v. 23). He asked and accepted no testimony from Illig, but sternly rebuked and cast out the foul spirit. He not only is Illimself pure but is able to deliver others from impurity. Christ wants confession only from pure lips. 4. The obedience of the demon (v. 26). The spirit was reluctant to leave the man and malicious to the end, for he tore the man whom he had to leave. He had to acknowledge his defeat and went out in a howling rage. 5. The impression made upon the people (vv. 27, 28). The news of Christ's power spread rapidly over Galilee. The people were startled by two things: (1) The new doctrine which He brought. (2) Illa authority over demons. III. Jesus Heals Peter's Mother In-Law of Fever (iv. 2031). This scene lies in the home of one of the disciples. He went home with Simon and Andrew who told Illm of the condition of Peter's mother in law. He came at once and lifted her up and the fever departed. She immediately ministered to Illm. IV. Jesus Ministering to Many (iv. 3234). Though the day was strenuous in its labors, He came unwearied even when the sun had set, to meet the needs of the multitudes who had gathered from all parts of the city. He healed many of their diseases, cast out demons, not allowing them to speak The demons knew Him, but the poor, blind people knew Him not. V. Jesus Cleansing a Leper (vv. 33-47). As Jesus preached in the synagogues of Galilee and east out demons, HIs power became known. A leper came to HIm saying, "If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean." HIs put forth HIs hand and touched him, saying, "I will, be thou clean," and immediately the leprosy departed and he was cleansed Beauty of Bible Thoughts I am of the opinion that the Bible contains more true sensibility, more exquisite beauty, more pure morality, more important history, and finer strains of poetry and eloquence than can be collected from all other books, in whatever age or language they may be written—Sir William Jones.

L. GREER, Prop. SUNDAY, JAN. 8, 1923. Subject: "What the Church Has Lone." Acts. 17:1-6. A moments earnest observation will reveal the fact that the church is the great dynamic force in human uplift. The church has civilized, the church has given and maintained the ethical standard. I speak of the church, locally and collectively, as God in the world, trying to reconcile the world to Himself, through Christ. Paul was God's Missionary Evangelist. The heart of His message was the suffering, death, resurrection and life of Christ. He was a great teacher as well as a great preacher. The message he had is the only message for the church today. The church is not losing power; it may be however, we are not turning it on. The church has united families, races and nations. It has directly, or indirectly given to the world its leadership, also its standard of ethics. The church has given hope and inspiration. It has been the center of unity. "All One In Christ." The character of the work of the church fundamentally has not changed. Reconciling the world to God is still the heart of its message. Ottawa News. On account of the extreme cold weather, the attendance at Bethany, Baptist S.,S., was small, Sunday, with the exception of the primary classes; the pupils were assembled as one class. There was a good attendance at both services. At the morning service, Rev. Favors selected as a text Ibeb, 6:9; subject: "New Year's Day is a Day of Retrospective Witness." The subject for the evening service was, "The Pursuit of Christ." Phil. 3:13.

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting ot Topeka October 4-9,1927 TO THE CHURCH AND PASTOR: WILLOW COHABORATE At the annual session of our State Convention held at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927, the Convention adopted the more modern plan for carrying forward our Missionary and Educational work (both Home and Foreign) and in fact for carrying forward all our Convention obligations. Our plan calls for $10,000 annually. The plan adopted at the Convention war that $6,700 00 be apportioned directly to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Conventions of the State and District Associations and Auxiliaries. The amount apportioned to the Churches to be paid monthly or quarterly to the State office, the monthly or quarterly plan preferable because the State obligations are due monthly. For instance, if 25 churches give $500 each monthly, it me $19500. and 25 churches give $3.00 each monthly it means $7500, and 15 churches give $2.00 each monthly, it means $15000. This would give the Convention $35000 to meet her regular monthly obligations and money to apply on National Conveni- nements. Will your Pastor be Pastor and Off- sider give it is your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please and this letter to the Church and lead them forth in this much needed business-like plan for our Con- vention. This plan was presented to the Minister at the last Board Meetings and the present for each of the Churches of $6,700.00 was suggested to be presented. The amount for your Church is in the following list. Please let us know the manner in which we will meet the request. We may it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, be- lining this month. Please pray for our work as the Missionary Pastors must carry on and the educational work must not be neglected. We are the Lord's and the work He command. He will make pos- sibilities if we only trust Him. This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 12, 1927. With much prayer and supplication we are now successful. W. A. BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W. ROSS, Executive Study, and Surt of Writings. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?

Remember, over $500.00 additional improvement has been made on the Seminary and must be raised to secure the credit of our denomination. We are doing a splendid work at the Seminary and we must carry on. Then too, our Missionary Pastor's work is behind and those who depend on us are put in a compromising position, because we fall them.

ANNOUNCEMENT DEAR CO-WORKERS:— With very great delight we announce that the State Executive Bd. of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Kansas, will meet on Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 25th and 26th, 1928, with the Calary Baptist Church, Wichita, Kansas, Rev. J. W. Hayes, D. D., Pastor, and Moderator of the great Southwestern District. God has wonderfully blessed those of us who are living to see the beginning of a brand new year, the year 1928, ushering in with new responsibilities, and much unfinished business committed to us from the year 1927. This is true in our personal, state, and national affairs, as well as in our church and conventional matters. It is my opinion that God has usher us hither to this place and New Year in Kansas, to put over His Missionary and Educational program. Why should he make others from our side and leave us in charge of His churches and Kingdom Work, if His infinite wisdom and knowledge had not determined we were equal to the tasks that are held in the lap of this New Year, of large opportunities, hope and possibilities? Thus preserved and appointed as stewards of Christ for the year 1928, let us face, like flint, the duties that confront us, knowing that with Christ we can prevail. It is generally predicted this is to be a year of prosperity and plenty and God grant that as His stewards, we conscientiously labor to let Him have His share. Every pastor, church and auxiliary; Every moderator, district president, and state president should labor and zeenously labor and sacrifice to put our state work over this very Board Meeting's financial call. October we need $1000. Snail we The Negro Star-For the good of the People In hours of bereavement, we stand with a ray of comfort to handle all details rendered your beloved ones. as newly appointed stewards of Christ, make the supreme effort to raise this amount at our meeting in the beautiful city of Wichita? Let us labor and look forward to this end with happy anticipation. Yours for His Kingdom Come, W. A. BOWREN. KANSAS VOCATIONAL COLLEGE TOIEKA, KANS.

She took ill suddenly while delivering Christmas Cheer to the inmates of the County Poor Farm. A letter of condolence was sent on behalf of the Woman's State Conven. REPORT OF Dec. 31—We have just closed out our three week's City-Wide, Soul-Saving Union Revival at the Mapele Street Baptist Church, Independence, Kansas, Rev. C. Teal, the noted Pastor, Rev. Walton Brown, Pastor of St. John M. E. Church, and the famous Rev. J. A. Broadnax, Pastor of the Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church, an Evangelist of liberal experience, and their churches and people, cooperating in the campaign. This in some important respects, was one of the greatest Union, Gospel and Soul-Saving Campaign that it has been my honored privilege and delightful pleasure to conduct. In the first place, under my directions, assisted by these splendid ministers, the organization for the launching of the the three weeks' drive was thorough and complete. The local ministers, deacons, and the active leaders of Maple Street, and Quinn Chapel Churches were placed in the front to take charge and to marshall the different prayer bands; and to see to it that the canvass for souls reached every nook and corner of the city; and to hold prayer service at stated or designate hours, in every part of the city. This was successfully carried out every day to the very last day of the campaign. So that every part of the city was effectively touched. These same active, earnest and determined workers had charge of the preliminary and prayer meeting service was allowed to drag and hence the evening services were full of pep and inspiration from the beginning to end every night. Then in the second place, perfect harmony and peace prevailed both with the ministry and the members, and the most congenial Christian fellowship was eminent from the very first to the last, without the sounding of a single discordant note. Love prevailed as the one great potent force, and the predominant, factor in the meeting to the end. Every one, both pastors and people, admitted that the preaching of the Gospel through the Evangelist, had far surpassed anything in that respect, that they had ever heard before; and that the Bible meetings in the afternoons were a source of vital and educational information in the truest sense of the word; but it was not me, but the manifestation of the Holy Ghost, through me for, I am nothing without Him. I feel very much honored however to used by him in the preaching of the glorious Gospel of Christ. As a result, there was approximately 50 souls brought to Christ. The attendance increased to the end. The family group service on last Wednesday, and the service for young people Firday night proved to surpass any other service in attendance and in rapt interest. The sermon to the young people was about the evils of the modern dance; and the young people are to be complimented for the marked attention they gave to that message. At the conclusion of the sermon they were asked to vote for or against dancing, and one quick, direct, and unanimous vote upon the part of the young people was given against dancing, and the vote was taken on the part of the entire audience. The vote was solid against the modern dance. It was a serious and solemn occasion. A complete victory for Christ and the church. These revival services were held one week at each church, beginning with Maple Street and then at St. John, then at Quinn Chapel; and then swinging back to Maple Street, closing on Monday night. After the services, a splendid reception was had for the benefit of the evangelist and the converts. I go from here to Shiloh Baptist Church, Fort Scott, Kansas, Rev. M. J. Smith, Pastor, to launch a Union Meeting for the redemption of our people there. Pray for me. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A. L. Branch, Pastor. The Auxiliaries were very prompt with their meetings.

Some me and because they failed to do their duties as opportunities offered themselves. They were not thoughtful enough of others. They tried to rule by might, when it should have been by love. They used their slanderous tongue on their best friends and lessen their own chances for usefulness. They used much more of their time, trying to hold down those, thought to be inferiors. They have fed old 1927 with the polsonous gossip of the low life. They gave it medicine from dope of falsehoods. They served it as private nurses of deceit and now 1927 is dead and buried in a bad looking coffin of misery and has on its top a motto plate: "Forget Me Not." While others are rejoicing in the fact that they did their best to make 1927 a big, full and round year of noble deeds for others. Many hearts, were taught to love, many brains were taught to tona, many talents were given chances and the world is better because they took such splendid care of 1927. They returned from burial not to regret nor tret, but to welcome 1925, believing this will be the best, and finest year in the history of God's providence; so they are going out now to put in full time, in that 1928 will be the nobile "Babe" ever born and lived a year. What is your determination? THE SOUL IS DEAD THE soul of America's conscience is dead and the funeral ceremonies are planned in the near future. She has tried to make laws for many years, that would have teeth to gnaw on the poor and not ever gum touch the rich. She has tried for years to make a place of disgrace for a part of God's children and assign them where ill health, distress and misery will send them to the deaf, while they bathe in the sunlight of God's love. She has killed the living and planned for the destruction of the unlucky, who might live, until today a human life is the cheapest thing on the market. She can walk in any little cheap joint and joke while she takes one out of the minates. There were once times when robbers picked places or much money and left the little places for roughs and thieves, but now she will take a be a ham-burger stand or a poor traveler as quickly as she will a bank or mail train. Life is cheap and her soul is dead. She killed her? The preachers, the teachers, the Christians, the officers of the law and unjust organizations. How? They began to protect self, then my class; then my members, then my race, then my nation, now her soul is dead. She has enough brain to commit a crime but not soul enough to be sorry; thus she goes crazy as soon as the dirty work is over. She is so dead until you can get more lawyers free for committing an ungodly, hellish crime, than you can get with money to protect a person or his property from a set, who desires or covets, "Naboth's Vineyard," or who protects the chastity of his home from some drunken brute or intruder, her soul is dead and America must be buried. The sad part is she does not know she is dead; she is lying all exposed in styles, naked to opinions of the world and thinks she is in a new day, when it takes the fiddling and the fun to, make her popular. She has been sowing poisonous seed to the winds for years, now for whirlwinds, which means destructions from every source. The Soul of America is dead and she killed herself, IT is said that the natives of Uganda, Africa, consider ants such a delicacy that patients in hospitals are frequently given a plate of boiled ants.-Preston.
