THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 41, MY TRIP TO THE HINTERLAND CAREYSBURG, LIBERIA, Dec 3 Prot. H. 7. Sims and Kansas Baptist Wichita, Kansas Six dear Christian friends: My dear Christian Friends: I am very glad to write you all to let you know, I am well at this time and I hope you all are the same. I am very sorry to know that the messenger death has called so many of my good friends home, but they have just entered into their great reward and we shall all soon be un- tied again. When we are in the midst of life, we are in the midst of death. I have been planning to write you all, a long time ago, but I keep so very busy as all the year of farming time with us out here. I have just closed one of the most successful school years we have had since my return to the field, and now we have fifteen happy converts to be baptized e and Sunday in this month; we are planning to have a five nights' meeting to get more converts if pos- I have so many things to tell you all until I do not know where to begin. I am very glad to say I am feeling better now than I have felt for over eighteen months, for Aug. 21, 1926. I took down with this terrible blackwater fever, and it made me lose so much flesh until you would hardly know me if you saw me; but I am picking up now. I have been planning to write you about the first hanging. I ever witnessed in my life, but I will save that for the next article. After I had convalesced some what from the African fever, my doctor advised that I go either to the Canary Islands or back in the interior and spend a few weeks in the mountains, and so I went to the cheapest place, to the Hinterland, for I had long wanted to make that trip. So I will write you about my trip to the Hinterland. I got a permit from the government and I knew that would make my trip much safer, and chose a time when the District Commissioner was returning back to his post, and hereafter in this article, he will be called the D. C., for that is what the native people call him. I made arrangement with D. C., David Carter to accompany him, but I had to meet him about 70 miles from the mission, so I took all of my boys that far to carry my luggage. I rode part of the 30 miles, but I walked most of it and after I overtook the D. C., I did not walk any more. I traveled over 240 miles in a hammock and I saw the native African as I had never seen him before. I can't tell you only part of my impressions in a letter. We were exactly eight days going this long journey, and at times, I would be very near the French boundary, known as French Guinea. I have often read of, and saw the pictures of the African swinging bridges that the natives put across their large rivers, but rivers I have had the pleasure of crossing them, and see the river just raging down below me. The bridges are not dangerous, but nervous person could not very well cross one, for the part you walk on, is only about one foot wide but they have rope banisters coming up on either side, and as you walk you hold to them and they go across this bridge one at a time. I much prefer crossing on this bridge, than crossing in a canoe, for that is the thing that threw me in the Atlantic Ocean at eleven o'clock at night in 1922. I spent seven weeks among three cannibal tribes, and I went over to a tribe known as the Glo, that just stop eating human flesh since the Gov't has been sending D. C., and soldiers among them. The great cannibal tribes were the Mono, Ga., and Glo people, but I have been having a boy for a long time, but I did not fear to go with him or even my interpreter alone for the Holy Spirit has been guiding all of my footsteps, in the hinterland as well as on the seaboard. Chief Tuazama, is by far the most influential native chief in that part of the country, for he is a paramount chief over 23 towns and the one that he lives in has over 525 houses and over 1500 people in it; this is the largest native town I have ever visited, and I was very glad that I spent so much time in his town; I preached the Gospel to those poor cannibal people for two weeks and three days. They had never heard of the name of Jesus Christ, and they asked me so many questions, until daily I was driven to my knees to make it plain to them for Jesus Christ. They did not know anything about the Lord's Day and they just went to work the same as any other day; I took two sermons to explain to them about the Creation, and make them see that they must rest one day, and do no work, and to my surprise, as soon as Tuazama found out that they must not work, nor beat their county drums on that day he passed a law in all of his towns for no man nor woman to work on that day. So you see, all these people need is some one to take the Gospel to them. Every night and Sunday, I would preach to large crowds. I carried two of my mission boys who were good singers and knew the Bible CHARACTER EDUCATION (Columbian Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, Jan.12—A course of study in character education, published recently by the Nebraska State Department of Education, was introduced lately in the schools of the State. This is in conformity with an act passed by the 1927 session of the legislature, requiring that beginning this year special emphasis be given in schools to morality, courtesy, obedience to law, respect for the flag of the United States, the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Nebraska, and other attributes which tend to promote upright citizenship. Separate outlines are provided for the nursery school and kindergarten, primary grades, intermediate grades, and junior and senior high school. Since segregated schools are not in vogue in Nebraska, the character and civic courses will be freely open to all children. Were these courses to be made available in the southern states which exact a Constitutional knowledge test of all applicant voters, Negroes, upon reaching voting age, would no doubt be familiar with the Constitution, and thus able to meet the suffrage tests. quite well, and they were a great help to me. The chiefs have all asked me to come up in their country and teach them more about the "Jesus Christ Palaver." as they call the Gospel. Truly the harvest is ripening and the laborers are few. Now I have promised to go back up to them again in January and they said they will cut and burn my farms, plant them and build my houses just as many as I want; if I will come and sit down with them and be their light. This is the time now for Baptist to take the hinterland for Christ and the Baptist, so, if I go, I plan to take one of the National Baptist Missionaries with me that they may see the great need of the Baptist uniting in taking this great field. The missionaries have been sitting down on this sea board too long where we can hear every steamer in the harbor that comes in or goes out; but out yonder in the hinterland the people are begging for the Gospel, and although, my time was up Nov. 22, last, yet I am willing to go. The Gov't gave my Board 200 acres of land last year, and I plan to take it up back there, and get right on the good road just as I am in Careysburg. I will not be able to begin work up there until I come home and first do some more building here. They surely have some very peculiar customs; I saw a woman with 40 anklets and bracelets on her ankles and arms and another with 46, and they were so heavey, until these women could hardly walk, and it was impossible for them to run. That is the way they dress up fine. They did not have on cloth enough to dust a fiddle, but they thought they were dressed up fine. Women so dressed, can do no kind of work, not even to cook for they have their servants to cook for them. The African snails are very large, and I never saw people eat so many snails as I saw among the Glo people. I am going to bring some of the shells home when I come on my furlough next year. When anybody dies they cry and holler for over a week and it is almost impossible for one to sleep at all. If you see the grave of a full grown man, you would think it was the grave of a year old child. When a person dies, they break the arms at the elbows, and they them up to the shoulders, and break the legs at the knees and tie them back, then they wrap the body in mats and bury them on their knees, and make the grave roun as an apple just to fit that body; now if it is a chief, or someone of the royal family, they dig a tunnel away under the kitchen, and bury the body there, but they must still be on their knees. These poor people did not want me to leave them and it was pitiful the way they begged me to come back to them, and the help of God, I mean to go to them. I want all of you to pay for me that God may use me for His glory in the saving of these poor souls. I hope to write you an article every three months until I come on furough. I do not think I will be able to attend many Conventions when I come, for I have promised my pastor in Homestead, Pn., to spend most of my time with them, for they surely have been very kind to me, and my children and I am just waiting anxiously for our Xmas box, for they surely do make us happy every Xmas. I am playing for you and I am very sorry to hear of your great loss of finance this year, but I know you all are going to make it up. I will spend a few weeks with you because I want you to see the sweet little girl that was named for Della Kemp. She is surely coming with no this time, and since you do not have dancing and card playing at our school, I will give Kansas a girl and a boy.—(To be continued.) Yours in Christ, F. W. WATSON.

Main Street, recently moved to their new and well equipped offices at 601 N. Main St, ground floor. For several years, Mr. Crawford has used his influence and devoted a great proportion of his time toward getting the down payments and purchase prices on real estate reduced to figures that make it possible for every man to own a home. Crawford & Crawford Co., possibly sold more homes to race people during the year of 1927 than all other local firms combined. Mr. Crawford feels very grateful to the public for their splendid support and predicts a great business year for 1928. THE ABLEST MAN IN OUR MOVEMENT THE ABLEST MAN IN OUR MOVEMENT By LIEUT. COL. GERALD W. BIRKS A Canadian Layman. When Fletcher Brockman, the greatest Secretary ever sent to China, from North America, returned during the war, Dr. David Yui was chosen as his successor. I think David Yui, the National Secretary of the Movement in China, is at the present moment absolutely the biggest man in Y. M. C. A. Secretaryship, not even barring Mott and Brockman. In the last eight years he has twice been offered the Ministry of Education of China, once the Ambassadorship to Great Britain, several times the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of his country, the Principalship of four Universities, and he sticks to the Y. M. C. A., because he feels that at the present moment he can there do more constructive work for his country than in any of the positions named. When students were shot down at the beginning of the Shanghai trouble in 1925, it looked as though the absolute collapse between China and the western world had come. Had I been Secretary in China at that time British that I am, I would probably have said to Canadian and English colleagues: "You keep out of right until things calm down." But David Yui felt the trouble was largely based on misunderstanding, and recognizing where the fomenters were, he called to England for the Lest representative of English stu- UNITED STATES JUDGE HONORS RACE WOMAN (Preston News Service) CHICAGO ILL. Jan. 5—What is thought probably to be the first time in history, a Federal Court was suspended during the funeral of a race woman, when United States District Judge Carpenter adjourned his morning session in order that he and his court attaches could attend the funeral services for the wife of William Bell, aged 65, who died Friday of last week. Mrs. Bell was the wife of the personal messenger to Judge Carpenter. DELINQUENT COLORED GIRLS NEGLECTED (Columbia Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, Although Juvenile court laws affirm that the delinquent child in need of the care and protection of the State, it appears that in Alabama and North Carolina no provision is made for delinquent colored girls below the age of 18 years except the penitentiary and city and county jails. In Alabama, a small private institution known as the "Girls' Rescue Home" is conducted by colored women. Both States, however, maintain training and industrial schools for delinquent girls, other than colored. The Fairwold Industrial School for Colored Girls, near Columbia, South Carolina, receives incorrigible colored girls; but this is a private institution and receives only a small amount of State aid. dent life they could find, and R. O. Hall was sent. Dr. Yui put him forward among the students as an English Student Secretary. This took courage of a rare quality and it had an amazingly helpful result. Dr. Yul also selected outstanding English and Chinese leaders and invited them to his own house where they discussed the trouble without gloves. Things were said around that table which would have meant war if they had appeared in print. But the groun broke up and reassembled in friendship. The English and Chinese were literally wearing out David Yul's carpet coming to him for advice and counsel. When the worst was over, two men were recognized as having saved the situation. One was David Yul. The other was an Arab-Jew, a British by naturalization. Knowing China's language and psychology, this Arab-Jew, for weeks had spent hours every night in the leading editorial office in Shanghai, checking everything that was to go into print and marking out anything that might irritate the Chinese. Friends presented David Yul with n loving cup inscribed "Prophet, Peacemaker, Patriot," and on the cup of this Arab-Jew they had "The Bridge Between East And West." Denver Young Men HE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT Last Friday marked the silence of the physical reign of Rev. C. B. Burton, a Pastor in Omaha, Nebr. He was a young man, but he had worked overtime in the Master's Kingdome, and it can be truthfully said for him: "I Hate a Finished 'Six Work.'" He was a young minister, filled with the zeal, and his gift of many talents made him on duty when he should have been resting. He was a splendid songster, revivalist, and preacher. He did not know how to say, "I am tired or I am not able." He once pastored in Leavenworth, Kansas, where his record is outstanding, then to St. Paul, then to Minneapolis and was as busy as can be in Omaha, Neb. When the voice of the Heavenly Father, said: "Welcome, Child. Come Home." He was a patient and happy sufferer, Singing and rejoicing in the God of His Salvation. He left us rejoicing in the fact that he was going to be with his loving Father. He left a useful faithful and loving wife, known in Wichita, and Kansas, as "Our Faye," All prayers and wishes are for her to feel safe in the arms of Jesus and trust Him for His wisdom. Mrs. Burton brought the body with her to Wichita, for burial, accompanied by one of the Sisters of the church in Omaha, and Rev. Z. E. McGee, an associate pastor of that city. The body lay in state at the home of her brother, Mr. Sam Oliver, from Wednesday morning until Thursday afternoon. Funeral at Calvary Baptist Church, by Rev. E. W. Perry of Oklahoma City. Many ministers throut the state and Missouri, were present. Though this body is laid to rest his spirit goes marching on, making real the Kingdom of God in the hearts of men. We can only say: "Peace to his ashes." NEGRO BOOK CONCERN TO ENLARGE ITS SCOPE Warren Book Company effects Arrangements to Perform Wide-reaching Service. The Warren Book Company of Staten Island, New York, has recently made public plans of long standing as a result of which it will take the entire country as its field rather than doing a purely local business. The idea of expansion was gotten from the suggestions of a number of friends who thought that a book company headed by a Negro and selling to the colored people of the country books of colored authors would perform a great service to the colored race. A genuine feeling of race pride is sweeping the country among our group, and the Negro is no longer ashamed of being a Negro, for he had nothing to do with it. On the other hand he can well feel proud of what others of the race have accomplished and is trying to make his own name stand for something. A good way to show greater pride in the race is to read literature of the race, so that the fame of the authors will spread and in turn help develop the right kind of race consciousness in other members of the group. other instances, armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. 68 persons, 15 white and 53 Negroes were thus saved from death at the hands of mobs. All of the persons lynched were Negroes. The offenses charged were —muder, 7; attempted murder, 2; rape, 2; attempted rape, 3; improper conduct, 1; charge not reported 1. The states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Arkansas, 3; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi, 7; Missouri, 1; Tennessee, 2; Texas, 1. Yours very truly, R. R. MOTON, Principal. LYNHING RECORD FOR 1927 TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE ALA.—Dear Sir,—I send you this concerning lynchings for the past year as compiled by Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research. I find there were 16 persons lynched in 1927. This is 14 less than the number 30 for 1926, 1 less than the number 17 for 1925, the same number 16 as for 1924 and 17 less than the number 33 for 1921, 12 of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, 6 from jail and 6 from officers of the law outside of fails. 4 of the persons were burned to death, 2 were put to death and then their bodies burned. There were 42 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings, 8 of those were in Northern states and 34 in Southern states. In 24 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 18 1928 (Preston News Service) The successes, failures, mistakes Five Cents Per Copy BAPTIST WORLD ALLIANCE SUNDAY BAPTIST WORLD ALLIANCE SUNDAY FEBRUARY 5. 1928. The Baptist World Alliance has already abundantly justified its existence. It has drawn the Baptists of the World closer together. We have come to recognize more fully our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, our God and Saviour, in our experience of death to sin and resurrection to righteousness in Illim, in our connection of the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper as symbolic declarations of our faith and experience and in our regard for personality, our passion for liberty of conscience, and our belief in the sufficiency and supremacy of the Holy Scriptures in all matters touching our relation to God and our obligation to our fellow men. At the same time, as a corollary to this, we rejoice together in that rich variety of experience, knowledge, and emphasis, which makes the fellowship of saints so interesting, enriching and edifying. To all this the Congresses held at London, in 1905, Philadelphia in 1911 and at Stockholm in 1923, have contributed greatly, for in them fellow-believers from many lands looked into one another's faces, clasped one another's hands, exchanged experiences and opinions, and recognized their oneness in Christ Jesus. The touch of the new nature makes us all kin. We have also had the beginnings of cooperation. The strong have begun to help the weak, the many have come to the help of the few, and those who already enjoy the blessings of religious freedom are seeking to secure that priceless boon for their bethren. In brief, in these years the Baptist world consciousness has been extended and deepened, and we have made a real beguining in cooperation Much, however, remains to be done, this is true of our mutual relations. We must seek to come still closer together and to perfect our fellowship and cooperation. The barriers which class privilege or a false nationalism would interpose between brothers in Christ must be swept away. With us there cannot be barbarian, Scythian, bond or free, but Christ must be recognized as all in all. We must clarify our thought. We must loyally and courageously work out our principles of trust and righteousness and love into all the relationships of life. We must acknowledge our stewardship and recognizing that we are not our own, but bought with a price, we must seek first Christ's Kingship over our own and other hearts and under His away and by His spirit become His effective witnesses. We need also a clearer vision of the world's need, a better understanding of our one distinctive spirit, genius and mission, and a deeper conviction of the fact that only by being faithful to that mission can we make our proper contribution to inter-demominational problems and to those other problems that spring out of the contact of Christianity with other great religions. We cannot rest until all our brethren enjoy the freedom most of us enjoy, nor until every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. As one means to this end the Executive Committee invites our churches in all lands to unite in observing the first Sunday in February as Baptist World Alliance, Sunday. Let us make it a day of Thanksgiving, instruction and intercession; thanksgiving for what has been already accomplished, instruction from the pulpit and in the Sunday School, in our principals, obligations and opportunities; intercession that the great purposes of the Alliance may under the blessing of God be increasingly realized. Particularly on February 5th, 1928, let us remember the Congress to be held in Toronto, the following June, that it may be a season marked by the presence and power of God, by renewed consecration, by joyous fellowship and by lasting inspiration that it may issue in wise plans and God honoring achievements. On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Baptist World Alliance, E. Y. MULLINS, President, J. H. RUSHBROOKS, East. Sec. CLIFTON D. GRAY, West. Sec. and good fortunes of 1927 should be of great use to all in making our lives and the lives of those with whom we come in contact a greater blessing to humanity in 1928. The making of good resolutions is a splendid thing, but of greater importance is the will to keep them. Looking back over 1927 we should be better able to shape and amend our resolutions for 1928. Americans are certainly a nation of law-abiding citizens, excluding the 14th, 15th and 18th amendments to the U. S. Constitution. Among the eight modern wonders of the world are: Aeroplane, Radio, automobile, wireless telegraph, radium, telephone, steel clad battleships, and the 18th Amendment.

Missionary Baptist ' ‘a State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State | Meeting ot Topeka October 4-9, 1927 TO THE CHURCH AND PASTOR: Bly Beat Lo-laborers; | At the annual session of our State Convention held at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927, the Convention adoped the more taedern plan for carrying for- ward our Missionary and Education- al work (both Home and Foreign) and in fact for carrying forward all our Convention obligations. Our plan calls for $10,000 annual- ly, The plan adopted at the Conven- tlon was that $6,700 00 be apportion- ed directly to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Con- ventions 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 prefera- able because the State obligations are due monthly, For instance, if 25 churches give $5.00 each monthly, {ft means $125.00, and 25 churches give $300 exch monthly it means $7500, and 45 churches give $2.00 each monthly, it means $15000. This would give the Convention $25000 to nicet her regular-monthly obligations and money to apply on Nationa] Conven- tucr requirements, Will you Rothe: Partor and Of- ficcis give this your hearty support ? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please ead this letter to the Church and lead them forth in this much needed and butiness-like plan for our Con- vention. 4 ‘This plan was. presented to the Ministers at the last Board Meetings Jand the amount for each of the Churches of $6,700.00 was eugzested and accepted. |The amount for your Church fs in the fcllowing list, Tlease let us know the manner fn | whieh von will meet the reauest, We pray It will be the monthly regular plen, Please serd something, | be- ginning this month, Please pray for our work as the Missionary Vastors must carry on and the ederational work must not be neglected. Wa ere the Lord's and the work Is Ills command. He will make pos. sible if we only trust Tim, ‘This adopted at our State Con. vention in session at Topeka, Oct, 4-9, 1927, Wath much prayer and supplica: tion we are very respectfully, W, A, BOWREN, D.

ANNOUNCEMENT DEAR CO-WORKERS:— With very great delight we an- nounce that the State Executive Bd., of the Missionary Baptist Conven- tion of Kansas, will meet on Wed- nesday and Thursday, Jan. 25th and 26th, 1928, with the Calvary 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 be- ginning of a brand new year, the year 1928, ushering in with new re- sponsibilities, and much unfinished business committed to us from the year 1927, This is true In our per-, sonal, state, and national affairs, as well as in our church and conven- tional matters. It is my opinion that Ged has brought us hither to this place and New Year in Kansas, to put over His Missionary and Educational — pro- re Why should he make others ‘rom our side and leave us in charge of His churches and Kingdom Work, if His infinite wisdom and fore- 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 vent 1928, let us face, hike fiint, the duties that confront us, knowing that with Christ we can prevail. Te is penarally predicted this Is to be a year of prosperity and plentv; and God grant that as His stewards, we conscientiously Iahor to let Ham have His share.

Limping up to the scene of the wreck he found the driver pinned under the truck with the water almost over his head, Mr, Elliot managed somehow to get down the steep, slippery bank and got the imperiled man's head above the water and helped him to get himself out of his overcoat, which was holding him down and fie pally assisted him to safety, Tho driver had & severe cut on the head, Just as the aged man was getting the driver to safety an au- tomobile came up and took the in. {ered man and his rescuer to a near- y farm house, Then he took the eyed man on to town and related what lad happened, NOTICE! le PRATT, KANS, Jan. 10, 1928.
