Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 48, ONE WHO THINKS I have been thinking; but have not reached a conclusion. Will some one who is thinking: thinking along the line of Race progress, help me reach a conclusion? Is it a fact that our Negro physicians here in Wichita, are inferior to the Negro physician and surgeon in other states and cities? Or, are they, asleep at the switch. They surely believe in advancement along all subjects of the profession, which they represent. I am wondering how they hope to advance, if they recognize the white physician, and surgeon as their superior, regardless of experience. It seems to me that it is time for us as a race group, to begin creating things that bespeak for our progress. We should not continue to be parasites. Thousands of opportunities are around us, waiting for our grasp. We are not thinking; if we are, we are inactive. We spend thousands of dollars in enterprises operated by the other fellow, who refuses us a job. Yet we continue to educate our children in everything educational, and lose sight of the main object—A Job. We have experienced brick masons, carpenters, mechanics, engineers, clerks, lawyers, doctors, rusicians, nurses, in fact, we have sons and daughters prepared to do anything that they are called upon to do. Are They Called? Oh Why haven't we a hospital here for our group? We support our churches, our Y. W. C. A., our Y. M. C. A., our Children's Home. These are debits. A hospital, if a debit to start with, would not be one long; very soon it would be an asset. If our doctors are not prepared to care for us in a hospital, they surely are not prepared to care for us in our homes; and they should return to school, and finish preparation; and if they are prepared, they ought to wake up. I want my son to prepare himself to compete with any other man engaged in the same line of work or profession, and I for one, believe my job is incomplete when I give him an education; it is mine to help make a place for him. It is our doctor's duty, if the authorities refuse to place them on equality with all doctors connected with the hospitals, by allowing them to do anything that is to be done in the hospitals, to get names of our own. Our ministers are not allowed to pastor white churches, it matters not how strong they are; but we have our own churches for them to pastor. We we our own Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. for those who have prepared to be secretaries. We have our own drug stores for our druggists; why not have our own hospital for our surgeons and nurses? Why not have our own steam laundry, bakery, and shoe stores. We are not going to cut wearing shoes, eating bread and keeping our clorothes clean. Something ought to be done. (See next issue of The Negro Star) A THINKER. Independence Notes MAPLE STREET BAPT. CHURCH. Sunday School was opened by Supt. Flater W. G. Proctor, with many members on time. Everyone is very much interested in our airship journey. The Clariton is still in the lead, but the nighaleigh is gaining rapidly. The total attendance of S. School was 85. At 11 o'clock, devotionals were conducted by the deacons and the Junior Choir. After which Rev. Wilson; an evangelist, was introduced by Rev. Teal, who gave us a lesson on "Greatness." He said, to become great, one must humble himself and do service. The message was enjoyed by all and many will be helped by his advice. At 6:30 Senior B. Y. P. U. was opened by Pres. Bro. J. Lenon; after view by leader, Sister L. K. Porter Group No. 4, of Cherryvale, rendered a Missionary Program. It was used a wonderful program and was given the grade 85 per cent. Many visitors were present with us during the Union hour. Among whom were, Rev. Wilson, Rev. W. C. Woodley of the city and Bro. Dennis Roberson, President of Cherryvale Union. At 8:20 evening devotions were conducted by Senlor Choir. Rev. Woodley preached an enlightening sermon on "The Sign of the Times." Rev, Wilson made some timely remarks on this wonderful topic. Sister Hickles is still ill. Sister Ruth Prunt is improving. WILDA VANDEFORD. Reporter. WHITE SOUTHERNER TELLS WHY NEGRO GOES NORTH (N. A. C. P.) NEW YORK, Feb. 24—With a plea to the white South to "Let's stop being stupid!" Howard Snyder, a white resident of Mississippi, writing in the March Number of Plain Talk, (223 Varick St., New York City,) tells why the Negro is leaving the South and distributing himself over the nation. First, Mr. Snyder cites the one-crop system of cotton raising with its exhaustion of the soil, the poverty and indebtedness of tenants who are not recognized as part of the community and are constantly tempted to move about in the effort to better themselves. "Add to all this the lynchings, mistreatment of many Negroes, and considering the fact the field Negro of the South is a primitive creature desperately afraid of the dreaded Ku Klux, we have another reason for the vast migration of Negroes from the Sunny South. Almost any day, we read of some benighted Negro reasant being hunted down or shot by a posse. That the South could expect these same benighted people to remain with her and uncomplainingly endure all this when a twenty-dollar bill will carry a man away from it, passes my understanding." Mr. Snyder points out that even in the South it is now becoming understood that the race problem is not merely local.-He writes: "With the Negro Press everywhere, increasing its circulation, and such for-reaching organizations as The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People forking through its local organizations in every community to uphold the rights of the Negro and demand that justice be given him and urge that Negro children everywhere attend elementary schools, the race problem is by no means confined to the South." "The South has made a "gross blunder," continues Mr. Snyder, in trying to "keep the nigger down" and in depriving Negroes of good schools. He reports that the South is "both amazed and desperately worried" over the departure of its best labor supply and that many white men are being forced into the ranks of common labor. "As for the South's trying to persuade itself, that the Negroes who had lived in bondage and debt slavery would come back like the prodigal son of old, "The facts are that they aren't doing it and they won't" The South, in Mr. Snyder's belief, will have to meet Northern attraction, to the Negro by giving him schools, good wages, justice, "and all those many and complex things that go to make up life in civilized America." Y. H. C. A. NOTES Secretary Hutcherson of Water St Branch Y. M. C. A., with 15 boys, went to Langston University, for the State Older Boys' Conference.

RACE RELATIONS MEETINGS-WHAT THEY SHOULD BE This question of race relations remains ever a most vexing and perplexing one. So many ideas, suggestions, recommendations and what not are offered for the proper solution of the race problem and therefore for the bettering of racial relations, that we are kept befuddled as to which method is the best, or the most feasible. At the last Race Relations Meeting held in this city, however, the suggestion put forth by Rev. James B. Adams of Concord Baptist Church, seemed to us the most significant and the most calculated to bring about a finer racial record than any we have previously had called to our attention. Rev. Adams idea may not be original with him, but certainly at this time, it is most propitious to present it as he has already done. It is the opinion of Rev. Adams, and one in which we can concur with him, that it is useless to hold Race Relations Meetings at which white and colored speakers engage in the usual courtesies and exchanges of the same platitudes—assurances of mutual friendship and brotherhood, when what is especially needed are Race Relations Meetings which are attended by white and colored people alike, and this if possible on a fifty-fifty basis. As we examine this idea we can readily see that our Race Relations Meetings hertofore have been decidedly one-sided affairs, because we have taken the initiative in promoting the meetings, and securing white speakers who could always reassure us, as, to the fundamental humanity of all people and of their eventual coming together, whereas what we really have wanted is something entirely different. Two or three white people mingling with two hundred colored people will do little to establish a better rapport between the two groups, but one hundred white people and one hundred colored people who meet on a common ground for mutual purposes can not help but recognize and evaluate and appreciate the essential humanity of one another. We want more Race Relations Meetings, but let them be true racial intermingling. Only in this way will they accomplish the purpose for which they were started. Clipping by W. L. Hutcherson. M. B.

Increased traffic on our public highways makes wiser roads a prime essential, and public officials who fail to take this vital fact into the reckoning make a mistake. According to a writer in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, "road widening has become a definite policy in several states in which the automobile registration is high;" one of these states has been adding strips of paving from three to six feet to some of its roads; another is placing along its roads lateral extensions of from twelve to eighteen feet, and these widening policies are particularly to be noted in metropolitan areas around some of the larger and more important cities of the country. Narrow roads do not take care of the traffic, and besides, they are more dangerous than roads of wider types. ation, Friday evening March 2. All Branch Advisors will meet in conference with Miss Taylor, Saturday, March 3, at 11 o'clock.. The Girl Reserves will entertain her at an informal tea at the Y. W. C.

This club has changed its meeting from Sat. to Thurs. Five Cents Per Copy (Industrial News Bureau) Statistics say that from 1918 to 1926, inclusive, of the 1882 people killed in New York City, only eight were slain by men defending their own lives. Such figures do not prove that the average person does not need a pistol for defense; they may prove that existing anti-pistol laws have kept many of the 1874 victims from defending themselves. Most of the 1882 killers went free on pleas of insanity, or through frantic appeals of slobbering sentimentalists who had already robbed Innocence of the means to protect itself; for the anti-pistol laws are generally framed and urged by the elements that send flowers and dainties to rapists and murderers and who sob over the woes of the human butcher and degenerate. Indiscriminate pistol-toting may well be declared unlawful, like the possession of poisons or powerful explosives where their menace outweighs their necessity. But by no stretch of the imagination could even universal pistol-toting be as loathsome or as deadly as a law to leave Decency helpless and at the mercy of Vice. The remedy for crime does not lie in forbidding arms for legitimate use or defense, but in better execution of the laws against crime. These laws are too often nullified by hysteria that raves against the loss of life by shootings, while urging the abolishment of crime penalties, thereby making murder a fine art or a psychopathic lark. Industrial freedom is as essential to human happiness and human welfare as political freedom. Let us hope that our nation will always remain free from governmental, autocratic and dictatorial control of its industries and its workers.—William Geren, Pres. American Federation of Labor.

The purpose of the kingdom Is to make ! disciples through missionary activi ties. If we would know the message, method and purpose of mission, therefore, we must study the divine pregram as given in the New Tes- tament, | Its message Is the Gospel, its pur- pose !s redemption, its method fs loce. The marching order of the kingdom Is “GO." Uo everybody, go everywhere, proclaim everybody. Faith is the means, it Is the vehl- cle that connects man and God. It is a persuasion of the mind based on evidence, it Is the evidence of things not seen, Baptism fs the answer of a good conscience toward God;.it Is an exe ternal manifestation of an Internal operation, It is by the authority of the church, it is in the name of the Trinity. ‘the signs that followed believers wére indicative of the presence and power of Christ, a fulfillment of the promise, “Lo I am with you.” All things are possible to him that believ- eth, The evidence of Ills presence are Just as manifest today, possibly not go hiteral but certainly justeas pronounced, The study of Missions sincerely done will not only give the message, method and purpose of missions but tthe spirit, Mission, for mission is a spirit. Mission should be taught continu- ously from the Cradle Roll through- out all departments of the church. A special committee representing each auxiliary and the church proper should study and lead the entire church into studying mission in all its activities, Is our responsibility for the For- eign held as great as our responst- bility for the local field?

Girard News Notes SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. G. W. McAdoo, Pastor A revival was contemplated and on account of water overflowing the Ch. basement, it was postponed, however, time made it favorable, we made a start. In the very face of our effort it pleased Almighty God to call one of our old warriors from labor to reward, Sister Lucy Berry; but the church of God is marching on. On Sunday night, Feb. 12 Rev. A. W. Cartwright, of Coffeyville, "An angel in the Gospel" preached his first ser- in our hearing. He is conducting the meeting; so far there are 5 victors for baptism and 0 reclaimed. Rev. Cartwright preaches an uncompromising Gospel, One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism. The outlook for the revival is favorable for there are still sinners and back-sliders in our midst; and we ask the prayers of the righteous, and come over in Macedonia and help us. Rev. Cartwright has preached some great sermons. Sun. Feb. 19th he preached a special sermon to the mothers and at night his subject was, "A Bad Woman In Town," which was a very heart-touching sermon. By this, you will see that we are doing a litat work and can't come down. Sunday School opened promptly at 9:30 o'clock the 19th, quite a few present. Sister S. White, Supt. B. Y. P. U. was well attended, as were our other services. It began at 6 o'clock and had a wonderful discussion on he lesson with Bro. Lewis Cenn, President. SALLIE WHITE, Reporter. Cherokee News Notes. MT. ERA BAPTIST CHURCH Mt. L. F. Thompson, Pastor Sunday School at 9:30 a. m. C. A. Finney, Supt. Lesson taught by the teachers which was very inspiring. At 11 a. m. our pastor spoke from 2nd Thess. 3rd chapter, 1st verse; text, "Finally brethen, pray for us the word may have free course and be glorified." Subject: "With- yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly." B. Y. P. U. opened on time, four o'clock; President and Teachers at their places. After Lesson and Bible Drill we listened to a splendid program by class No. 2 which was very much enjoyed. Our young girls under leadership of W. Lightsey, are trying to put the program over. Evening service 6:30; devotion led by Bio. Corner. The pastor brought another message from text, "Who is my Greatest in the Kingdom of Leaven?" MOLLIE ROBERSON, Reporter. Caryvale News Notes LIMELM BAPTIST CHURCH Mission Sisters had charge of the devotion which was spiritual; a very impressive solo, "I Do, Don't You," was sung by Miss Beatrice Wheaton. Afterwhich, Pastor delivered a masterful sermon from Jonah 1:4, subject: "Stop Him In The Sea." The Mission Circle met at the home of Mrs. Sila Teal, Tues. afternoon; Business hour conducted by Pres. Stringer. Bible study by Pres. Stringer. Bible study by Pastor. After which Mrs. Emma Wheaton served a delicious luncheon, assisted by Mrs. Teal. The 3 clubs: Sons of Noah, are doing nicely under their leaders. All the children in school are wearing frowns and carrying their arms, enjoying the pleasure of having been vaccinated for small-pox epidemic here. Mrs. Bessie Green of Parson, was a Saturday visitor in Cherryvale. Mary Kior is all this week. Miss Mary Layle All Star Basket Ball team proved to be champions all the week, playing Iola, Wednesday nite, Pittsburg College team Friday nite Independence, the great team, double header; beat them all. Cherryvale, is getting to be known for its Jack Johnsons and Jeffries' upper-cuts or knock-outs by girls. Miss Mae Lett and Ernestine Burgers, Jr., High School young ladies, had the pleasure of recovering some friendly knocks by each other. Miss Ernestine was suspended from school for 3 days. Come to Cherryvale for lessons. Miss Nellie Roberson spent a few days home last week. Miss Mae Lett is somewhat indisposed. Mrs. Ida Teal and Mrs. Charles Wackliff were in Independence, Friday on business. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brooks and boys and Mr. Brooks' brother and Mrs. L. Walker of Chanute, visited in Cherryvale, Monday evening and nite. RUTH WHEATON, Reporter Rev. S. A. Williams, D. D. Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, Coffey- ville, Kansas, brought to a close, a very successful revival Tuesday nite of Second Baptist Church. We truly believe him to be inspired of God, and deeply concerned in the saliva- tion of lost souls; and through bls 2. efforts, he being directed by the Holy Spirit to preach the unadamantated truth, we feel the effects will be real in days to come. Through his inspiration we had 1 hour each evening for consecration, during the revival, which proved, thru the teaching of God's Word, songs and prayers to be very effective; many who had studied the Bible, claimed to have gained more knowledge than ever before. The explanation was given so that even children could understand. Souls were saved and others reclaimed in these meetings. Stores leaving the city, Rev. Williams organized a permanent organization known as The Bible Study Class of Second Baptist Church with the following officers: Rev. L. D. Hardman, teacher; Mrs. Estella Diggs, assistant; Mrs. Mae Howard, secretary; Mrs. Mary Nety, chapain; and Mrs. M. Christopher, usher. There was a total of 66 converts, and 27 reclaimed by letter, and on Christian experience. The converts came in ages at 7 (seven) to 70 (seventy.) Our hearts were made to rejoice greatly after having listened to a powerful sermon, subject, "Prepare to meet your God." One man was so touched by the Holy Spirit, having come forward for prayer, was so wonderfully converted, stood up and boldly admitted having been one omeanest men, but was free and willing to do anything the Lord wanted him to do. At the close of his campaign, the auditorium and lecture room was niled to its capacity; when he made his appeal to the unsaved to come forward for prayer, there were 38, (thirty-eight) men and women who waited belly to the front and stood; after the prayer, two small children remained with others and said they loved the Lord. Not only was the revival effort a success, spiritually, but also financially, having raised $210.51 (Two hundred ten Lobas and fifty-one Cents.) WATCH TOWER NOTES WTN "Who does God's work will get God's pay How long may seem the day How long may be the way How long may seem the day However weybe the way Though powers and princes thunder nay No human hand God's hand can stay; Who does God's work will get God's pay." He does not pay as others pay in gold or land or ralment gay, In goods that perish and decay; But God's high wisdom knows a way And that is sure, let come what may, Who does God's work will get Gods WTN The Board Meeting of the Federal Council recently held in Cleveland, was a splendid gathering. When the matter came up about declaring themselves as favorable to the enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendment as to the 18th, several of our southern brethren took cold feet but all things being considered, there was a splendid spirit shown. Men like Bishop Cannon of the Southern Methodist Church, spokes in the highest terms of the patience and courage exhibited by our group under the sore trials they had undergone in all the Southland. The efforts being made by the Church Comity Conference of the Council to destroy over-lapping and over-churching in small communities may be worked out to some good purpose. Now that the various religious denominations are paralleling the Baptists and all the fundamentals of the New Testament as taught by Baptists gives us less room for contention. However, until men believe and practice the whole truth of the Gospel, Baptists will continue saying: 'give us our Bible and let us alone.' Our Baptist "Hall of Fame"—the spacious corridors and halls of our Publishing House—is great. On Bronze, McAlphine, an MdcEwen of Alabama; White, Robinson and Morris of Arkansas; Lee and Johnson of D. C.; Love and Walker of Georgia; Carey, Holmes and Jasper of Virginia; Campbell and Toliver of Texas; Dunbar and Durham of S. C.; and indeed the long list of pioneers from every state should live on to bless and enrich the Christian lives of our on-coming Baptist leaders. We can enshrine a thousand or more of our noble dead, adding value and lending beauty to the building. Our present day leaders in every state should see that this is done. Altho' we have 100 names planned for the Table so far only thirty churches The Negro Star-for the good of the People Manufacturer of Human Hair Goods, Hair Preparations and Toilet Articles. have paid the $25 00 necessary to have this honor and tribute rendered to the memory of their former pastors.

Manufacturer of Hum Preparations and PR Fal Bro Hle Pm Co Va PROMPT MAIL Send in order for any Will be shipped to PHONE MKT. 5726 FOR GOOD 639 N. WATER ST. MME. 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 a nd 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 and butiness-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Minister's 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 play it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, beginning this month. Please pray for our work as the Missionary restors 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 State Convention in session at Topcha, Oct. 4-9, 1927. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully, W. A. BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W. ROSS, Executive Sec'y. and Supt. of Missions. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?
