THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 45, GREAT MASS MEETING CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY FEB. 12, 3:00 P. M. Mr. George L. Johnson, Music Organizer and Director, of The Playground Recreation Association of America will speak on "Life's Higher Values." He will tell about the work of the Play Grounds and Recreation Association Movement, and just what it seeks to accomplish. He will demonstrate group singing, etc. The Public Is Invited! THE CHORUS PREPARES TO ENTERTAIN The Chorus of 200 voices, under Prof. Geo. L. Johnson, is working hard to whip in line as The Wichita Eagle has said, porters, maids, enaufeurs, business men, old and young, under the most trying circumstances, but in spite of all the disadvantages, they will give to Wichita, one of the greatest entertainments of the year on Feb. 20, The race has felt that this reporter intended to overshadow its worth by mentioning so many things that would not be pleasing to see nor hear, but sometime when you picture the low things, you give more chance for the appreciation of higher things, and when these described low beings de the prescribed impossible, the value of the race will stand out clear as the beautiful Lily from the Valley of slime and obstacles. Next, we are wondering if the same class of workers or a combination of any other race on earth, could get together and forget toils, mistreatments, disappointments and the cares of life, and put their souls into music. Mark you, there are potentialities found in this race, that you can not find in any other race. We do not know of another race on the face of the earth, that could afford porters, maids, chauffeurs, etc, with nerve and talent enough to even attempt to entertain a city of a hundred thousand. Now, they are going to come from that dingy room in c'ining colors and with even, full harmonious and lyric tones, filled to the brim with volume, that will even surprise that carefully, observing reporter. We are glad the reporter was able to distinguish hints of the past, the heart of the jungle, the dark and tangled passages, the measured and melancholy heat of the tom tom—all the avatistic instincts of a race, home-sick for a land it has never known; they are being expressed in music and not in crimes,—such a beautiful picture of the souls of my race. This might race could help the noble souls by proving to be more like God in the gifts of better opportunities to learn and earn. But, take courage, the harder the fight, the greater the laurels, the harder the race, the brighter the crown, and the harder you are thrown down, the higher you bounce. Those who plan to spend a real evening of enjoyment, will know from the past that these singers are going to reach the top, and convince Wichita, "for once" that the half has not been told of the power of this race. Prof. Johnson has the ability, and the race has the talent, so this combination will get the results—and Wichita, will be blessed. Come, let them prove their worth as a race, who can take 'nothing' and wrought miracles. THE PATIENT TELLS HOW SHE WAS CURED THE PATIENT TELLS HOW SHE WAS CURED Mr, and Mrs. Alfred Mathes wish to compliment Dr. F. A. Fletcher of Kansas City, Mo., for his most effective work and medical skill in restoring the eyesight to Mrs. Mathes. Her health had completely run down, and she was a nervous wreck, but today, thanks to Dr. Fletcher, she is back home, a well woman and has completely regained her eyesight, despite the fact that other specialists said hers was a hopeless case. WAS A HERO LOST LIFE BATTLE MR. ROBERT LIGGINS Hero of Coffeyville Race Riot—Gone As bravely as he faced the angry mob in March 1927, just as bravey did he answer a call to the mountain, Saturday evening about 5:30, Feb. 4th, when the monster death claimed as its own. After battling with death for his life as a brave soldier, night and day from Jan. 25, until Feb. 4, he lost in this fight, but we can truthfully say he won the victory while here on earth, standing for the things that were upright, not only standing for but he demanded them. Mr. Liggins was shot Wednesday nite about 9:30 on Union St., in front of Mr. Wiley Dixon's barber shop by parties unknown. Mr. Dixon is in jail, charged with the crime. Some doubt of his guilt; a hole in the front screen of the door indicates the charge that the shot that proved fatal to this hero, was fired within the shop. We can only say he fought a good fight here on earth and will be sadly missed.—B. Hudson. Leavenworth Kansas FIRST BARTIST CHURCH. FASTO, REV. E. W. ANTHONY FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. PASTOR, REV. E. W. ANTHONY The services were well attended Sunday, both morning and evening. The Pastor was at his best Sunday. Our hearts did burn as he spoke to us on the subject: "Christian Living." The Security Life Insurance Co., which has its home office in Atchison, Kans., sent many of its representatives and agents to the First Baptist Church to render a program for Unit No. 2, whose loyal leaders are Bro. Joseph Chase and Sister Fannie Wingfield. Mr. A, C. Cartwright, The Security District Manager, made a wholesome and logical talk in the behalf of more colored people taking out more insurance in this company. He brought to us some helpful thoughts on racial pride. Mr. Long was Master of Ceremonies, who also is one of the Securities Agents. The Company turned over a check for $5 of which the church was very grateful for this benevolent gift. The Pastor is supporting this Insurance Company for its high ideals. 1st. for hiring only Christian men and women. 2nd. because it employs Negro help. The Womanless Wedding given by Unit No. 2 will be given Feb. 4, at First Baptist Church. Come and cooperate. If you come, you will, waste your while with us. The B. Y. P.

Mock Congress, which was held at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, January 20 to 22, was a decided success. The Congress was under direction of Editor II. T. Sims, Wichita. President of the State B. Y. P. U. Editor Sims conducted a workers' conference at each of the four meetings. We were instructed about the different committees, their chairmen, members and specific duties. During the Congress, Editor Sims filled the capacity of Christian Culture Course Instructor. Our present study book is, "What Baptists Believe." We have learned to believe that we are sanctified and holy. We also have learned to designate them from perfection. The Union is composed of five very enthusiastic groups. Prizes were offered for the groups having the largest attendance, raising the most finance, having the most attractive decoration and the best program. The largest amount of money was raised by the Pilgrim Progress Group, composed of the older members of the church. After they had taken the finance prize, this group rendered a very impressive program. The theme of it was "From Slavery to Prosperity." One of the outstanding points was a tree upon which had been pinned paper money. From this we drew the thought, that it takes the mothers and fathers of any church to meet and conquer the crisis. A total of $58.13 was raised during the Congress. Had we understood the Congress idea as we do now, we feel certain that a greater success would have been ours. We understand so much better how to conduct a Model B. Y, P. U. Editor Sims' presence in this meeting has not only helped our Union, but the entire community has been benefitted.—Mary Moman, Secretary. ers and officers present. The lesson was well expounded; and was reviewed by the pastor. Morning service was well attended. Pastor Davidson preached a soul stirring sermon at 2:30. The Busy Workers' Club met in their regular meeting with the President present and had a very good business meeting. After the business meeting there was a good program rendered. Miss E.

The Leavenworth Choral Club had the privilege to sing for the First STATE BOARD HOLDS MEETING The Kansas Baptist State Convention and Auxiliary Boards met at Calvary Baptist Church Feb. 1, 2, with President, W. A. Dowren in charge; Name: "The Holy Spirit." After an inspiring devotion and due to the absence of President H. T. Sima of the B. Y. P. U. State Convention, also Rev. H. B. Bronson, the alternate, Rev. E. Z. Danyy of Emporia, preached the sermon to the glory of God. Song service opened the afternoon session. Rev, J. E. Douglass discussed the devotional theme: "Holy Spirit —The Guide," bringing out many valuable truths. President H. I. Monroe laid the work of the State Sunday School Convention on the hearts of the brethren and collected the money sent up from the different Sunday Schools. Mrs. Emma Gaines, president of the Women's Home and Foreign Mission Convention took charge and explained the work of the State to the women and rendered a short program. Pres. H. T. Sims presented his program for the next State Convention, and it was adopted with a few changes. The Evening Session was opened with a song service, Rev. J. T. Elias, presiding. A very forceful address on "Christian Education and the work of the Seminary," was delivered by Dean E. L. Seruggs, Toneka. An able sermon was delivered by Rev. T. T. Addison of Coffeyville. Calvary choir rendered the music. Thursday morning, President Bowren was in charge. Rev. J. E. Douglas had charge of the Pastor's Conference in the absence of President S. Montgomery. Many vital thoughts were brought out of the subject: "Pastor's Relation to Church" in the general discussion. The State Board went into regular session and much business was looked after. Dr. Scruggs gave report of the Summer School, showing over 100 in attendance last year and planned on greater work for this year. They are planning much information for you and so you can spend 10 days of a most advantageous vacation on the grounds of the Vacational School in July. The afternoon session was opened by devotional theme, "Holy Spirit, Its Personality," by Rev. G. T. Ralmey, Junction City. He did justice to this subject. The Executive Board listened to reports of trustees of Seminary, Financial Statement of Secretary and Treasurer, standing of the Missionary Pastors, and arranged plans to take care of the deficit of Convention. The evening Service was featured with full choir of St. Mary, well robed and singing with the spirit, under direction of Mrs. Marjorie King, president of Burleigh-Hayes Conservatory of Music. Rev. C. O. Marshall brought a very helpful and logical message in a sermon on "The Rearing of a Child and Parent's Duty." The Calvary Church, Auxiliaries, and Friends, took care of the messengers in a big way. Over $400 were raised for the work. As soon as the different Secretaries can give credit, this paper hopes to show how much each district and organization has paid on its budget and balance due. Thus passed into history a great session. When you are Thinking of Buying a Home, Just think of us. We can Locate you most Anywhere in the City at a Very Low Price.

ROLAND HAYES GIVES CONCERT IN RUSSIA ROLAND HAYES GIVES CONCERT IN RUSSIA Debuts in Italy and Holland Other Features of European Tour. To Return for Fifth Tour of America Next Autumn. Roland Hayes, according to a telegraphic communication from Moscow, has made a profound impression upon his first audience of Russian workers and peasants. The Negro tenor journeyed to Moscow, where he sang at the invitation of the Russian Government. The classical part of his programme was received with great enthusiasm, and when he sang the Negro Spirituals, this public, drawn from a people of polignant folk songs, gave him an ovation such as is rarely, if ever, known in the concert halls of present day Moscow. Italy and Holland, as well as Russia, first heard the remarkable singing of Roland Hayes this season. After four tours of America, he has devoted the present concert season to a tour of Europe, to which he owes so large a part of his early recognition. Roland Hayes has given recitals in England, France and Germany. He will sing in various eastern European cities this Spring. Next autumn, Roland Hayes will return to America to make his fifth tour of his own country. Management Roland Hayes, Symphony Hall, Boston. Cherryvale News Notes BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Wm.

RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION 1 77 Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER D.D. Dean Moody) Bible Institute of Chicago ) (1932, Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for February '12 JESUS PICTURES THE KINGDOM OF GOD LESSON TEXT—Mark 1:14,18; 41.14 GOLDEN TEXT—Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. PRIMARY TOPIC—How Gods Kind dom Grows JUNIOR TOPIC—How God's Kingdom Grows. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC How the Kingdom Gave YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Growing Kingdom of God 1. Jesus Preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-17) 1. The time. After the voice of John the Baptist was stilled because of his imprisonment, Jesus took up the message 2. What He preached. It was the gospel of the kingdom of God. Since "gospel" means "good news," the good news which He preached was that Christ had come to establish his kingdom. 3. How He preached. He said, 'Repent for the kingdom is at hand.' The King was then ready to set up His kingdom if the Jews would receive Him. II. Jesus Pictures Four Classes of Hearers (Mark 4:120) 1. The place—the conside—(v. 1) He was obliged to enter a boat to escape the pressure of the crowd 2. Why He taught in parable (v. 012). It was not until the rulers had set their hearts against Him that He employed the parabolic method 3. The parable of the four kinds of ground (v. 38:1320) Observe that the seed and the sower are the same in all these instances but the results are entirely different determined by the condition of the soil. (1) The Wayside (vv. 14, 15). The wayside means the track bent by the hoofs of animals and the feet of men. Because the soil was unbroken and uncultivated the seed could not get beneath the surface therefore was devoured by fowls which represent the agents of Satan (v. 15). (2) The stony ground (vv. 5 6 10 17) Stony ground means stones with a thin layer of soil upon them. Under such conditions the seed springs up quickly and is soon scorched because it has not much depth (3) The thorny ground (vv 7 18 19). In this case the ground is good but has thorns in it. It is mellow and has depth, but has not been cleaned of the thorns. The thorny ground hearers of this age are: (n) Those who are so immersed in worldliness business and anxious care that the good seed cannot mature; (b) those who are rich. The effect of riches is often to blind the spiritual perceptions; (c) those who are running after the pleasures of life. All these things choke the Word. 4 The good ground (vv. 8, 20). This ground differs from all the rest. It is soft and mellow deep and moist, therefore is capable of being fourth fruit in varying degrees of abundance. III. Jesus Pictures the Growth of the Kingdom (Mark 1 21-34) 1 The parable of the candle (vv. 21-25) The bushel stands for the cares and material things of life, and the best for ease and comfort. 2. The parable of the growing grain (vv. 26-29) (1) The attitude of mind of the gospel preacher (vv. 26, 27). He should with the utmost fidelity cast seed into the ground preach the Word and leave results to God. (2) The processes of the spiritual life are gradual (v. 28). It is "that the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear." (3) The consummation of the spiritual process (v. 29) Despite the difficulty under which sowing is done, we can be assured of a harvest time. 3 — The parable of the mustard seed (vv. 3034) (1) The unimportant beginning (v. 31) 2) Its vigorous growth (v. 32) The greatest power on earth today is that which bind its inception in the preaching of the gospel (3) Its lodging capacity (v. 32) The blinds which lodge in the manacles represent the children of the evil one who find protection and food in that which was inaugurated by Jesus Christ Worship God First worship God. He that forgets to pray bids not himself good morrow on good day.—T. Randolph. Serving God God is better served in resisting a temptation to evil than in many for mal prayers - William Penn. The Soul Oh how much greater is the sort of one man than the villains of the whole globe—Bulwer Lytton. Coffeyville News Notes able to attend the funeral. Mr. Geo.

School nurse says all girls should know this TALKING to a roomful of high school girls on personal hygiene, an experienced district nurse said: "One of the basic rules of health for girls is to keep the system functioning naturally at all times. Normal exercise and diet habits should be encouraged. But when necessary there's no harm in taking nujol, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol should always be taken. Take a spoonful every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or gas palms or grigling." Nujol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are feeling because it is so pure and harmless, and works so easily. Every woman should keep a bottle on hand. Every druggist has this remarkable substance.

Feen a mint The Laxative You Chew Like Gum No Taste But the Mint At Druggists—15c, 25c Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting of Topeka October 4.9.1927 October 4-9, 1927 TO THE CHURCH AND PASTOR: My Dear Co-laborers: 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 was 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 $5.00 each monthly, it means $125.00, and 25 churches give $3.00 each monthly it means $75.00, and 75 churches give $2.00 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention $350.00 to meet her regular monthly obligations and money to apply on National Convention requirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Officers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please read this letter to the Church and ad them forth in this much needed This plan was presented to the Minister at the last Board Meetings and the amount for each of the Churches of $6,700.00 was suggested and accepted. The amount for your Church is in the following list. Please let us know the manner in which you will meet the request. We pray it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, beginning 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 is His command. He will make possible if we only trust Him. This adopted at our Stato Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully, A. W. ROSS, Executive Secy. and Supt. of Missions. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular? Churcha P. O.

An evil mind is just as active in an officer as it would be in a common citizen; he just has more power over his wickled program. He may be head of "a-do-right-organization," but his mind and soul are longing for wrong and the fruits thereof. This country would be better off wih Bibles in every school and Christian teachers before every class than it would with officers on every corner. The office a man holds does not make the man better, but a better man will make a better office. It is now time for this country to start preparing men for offices and not offices for men, if this country is to stand. THE S. S. & B. Y. P. U.

SCAMAN RESCUED AFTER DRIFTING 700 MILES NEW YORK, Feb. 7—James Bethel, aged 27 years, was saved Wednesday after drifting 700 miles on the wide open sea in an open boat. Bethel is said to have left West Palm Beach, on January 17 to take a gasoline launch back to its owner at Hollywaad 34 miles away. About half way the engine "died" and from then on there was nothing he could do but drift. Bethel said that the first day out sharks began trailing the launch and they kept right on trailing for ten days. He said that he spent the daytime waving his coat and the night swinging his lantern. He said that on the tenth night he attracted the attention of the steamer Panar Del Rio and was taken aboard and arrived in New York, on Sunday He was detained a while at Ellis Island, after which, the Salvation Army made arrangements for Bethel to return to Florida, which trip will be made by railway. Bethel said that his only sustenance during the ten days adrift were two can of sardines, two quartcans of tomatoes and a four-gallon jug of water.

It was the greatest revival meeting, from many angles that has occurred in th seven years of Pastor Smith's administration. There were twenty-eight added to the churches as follows: Mt. Zion Baptist, one; A. M. E. 1; and shiloh twenty-six. Dr. Skinner will be a blessing to both Church and Pastor. If you secure his services. Then too, it would be a syllend way to help him. He is a man of years, and is not in the paxtonate; and since we have no way by which to care for our worthy ministers, who have given their lives in the development of the work as it is today, it would be right and it is our duty to throw open our doors, and let them in. And in our own Dr. Skinner's case, he will more than pay in service, what you will give in finance. Our church is awake and is up and doing, and as we do, we find more to do. The ladies of the church has a on a plan for the completion of our church. The 4th Sunday in Feb. is every member Dollar Day; under the uspices of Church's Federated Clubs. Pastor M. J.
