THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol. 20, No. 49, ONE WHO THINKS In last weeks' edition of The Negro Star, you no doubt read my 1st mental explosian. I wonder if the explosion was loud enough to awaken some of the sleepers. I belive I should say, that it is not my intention to start everybody to thinking, or to have everybody agree with my thoughts, but I truly hope that I will stimulate some strong and influential mind to action along some of the lines I might have touched upon. In scrutinizing the columns of The Wichita Beacon, dated, March 1st, I noticed this clipping; after reading it with care, I soon found out that some one else is thinking along the lines that I am. Take it for what it is worth:— (Sec next issue of The Negro Star) OUTWITTING YOUR NERVES By Josephine A. Jackson, M. D. THE GIRL'S JOB A position of responsibility has a way of bringing forward our best qualities. The President of a sorority chapter gives over her own girlish pranks, in order to hold the other girls down to a semblance of order. Not that she loves fun less, but the welfare of the sisterhood, more. The girlish mother of a two-year-old knows that she must not laugh at his pranks altho he is too cute for words. But for the child's sake she must register disapproval. Then comes the spring-time when according to the best traditions, the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. Upon whose shoulders then, the girls or the boys' does the burden of moral responsibility rest? Does not the girl just naturally seem a little older, morally than the boy, even when her years are fewer? Adam had some advantage in age over Eve, yet even he placed the responsibility for morals on the woman's shoulders, and there it has seated ever since. The girl must not tempt the boy, she must go even further and steady the boy against the temptations that are inherent in our very make-up as humans. Girls are the mothers of men in more than the physical sense. They have intuitions that give them mother-wit to a degree seldom vouch-safed to men. Below is a letter that shows mother-wit coming up to make the girl strong against every natural temptations. But her mother-wit is going to flow in even fuller measure, just as soon as she wakes up to the boy's need of her womanly help. He is struggling in the strong tide of adolescent sex, a purely chemical matter, altho both the boy and the girl have a feeling that it is love. The girl as a rule is the better swimmer against the tide of physical sex that tends to sweep the adolescent far out from the shores of social righteousness. It only remains for her to feel her responsibility to the boy who, as a rule, in the very nature of thing is morally less mature than herself. With this thought in mind, see how you would handle the not unusual situation the following letter unfolds: Miss Y. writes (in part): I am nearly seventeen. For four months I have been going with a boy who told me he heard I had a good reputation and that I had proved it. Now he seems to have changed his im-impression and tries to get "hard" with me. When I remind him that I am not that kind, he promises to be good, but always forgets. Now this boy is so nice, but when he gets in the mood—ugh!—I'd give anything to be a Tunney. Sometimes I fairly hate him, but deep in my heart I can't help but like him a lot. This bothers me. I'd like to be respected. What do vlu think? Answer: Battle against the tide that sweeps you away from the safe harbor of social restrictions. This boy is not a good swimmer, so give him a Tunny blow if you must, to keep him from dragging you down. When he comes to his senses, tow him in to where the good bark matrimony awaits you. Then there will be smooth sailing. —Clipping. S Leavenworth Kansas INDEPENDENT BAPT. CHURCH REV. B. J. DAVIDSON, PASTOR Sunday March 5, S.

NOTHIN' DOIN', POP, I CAN'T OFFORD IT. IVE ONLY GOT TWO COLLARS IN MY BANK INTERNATIONAL CARTOON A PERSONAL WORD FROM MAX YEAGANS A PERSONAL WORD FROM MAX YEAGANS 1 During my years out in Africa, nothing meant so much to me as the thoughts which kept ever Before me the faces of my fellow students back home. In this some way during this year of furlough which I have been able to spend in America no single part of my experience has meant quite so much to me as the visits which I have been privileged to make to the colleges. To mingle again with the students and teachers; to see, feel, and catch something of their new spirit and to be reassured of their continued interest in this joint undertaking of ours in Africa—all of this has given me new life and the sustaining encouragement with which I am now about to return to Africa for another period of five years. The reason for the above is not difficult to give. Back in the years now behind us, Negro students and teachers were expressing in a slightly different, but nevertheless no less real way what we are today quite asure of, namely, an idealism and desire to contribute to the goodness, beauty, and usefulness of life and the world. The matchless personality of Jesus was, even as it is, a great reality. Such was the spirit then, and such, thank God, one believes it to be today. And as a result of this we find our student life, our ideals, our desire to share, to serve, to have fellowship with our brethren projected across ten thousand miles of sea and expressing itself thru prayer, our study, our money, and our lives. Such an experience is worthy of every single student and teacher. Some of you have heard me talk about the inescapable nature of the opportunity and responsibility which this project of ours in Africa places upon us. I believe that absolutely. For my wife and myself, no sacrifice is involved in our return to our work. It is rather a privilege which we would not give up for any consideration. I think the fact that we deliberately take our three children back with us is sufficient testimony of our sincerity in this respect. You too, my friends, share this responsibility, and I can express my thoughts of it to you in no better way than to hope that in our joint effort to live simply, to follow wholly after Jesus, we may all become one in expressing here, in Africa, and elsewhere that goodness, beauty, and service for which He stands. As I sail with my family on February 24th, and after I reach South Africa, I should like to look back upon America and in my looking have my mind flooded with thoughts of you, my fellow students and Five Cents Per Copy 2ND QUARTERLY BOARD MEETING A SUCCESS 2ND QUARTERLY BOARD MEETING A SUCCESS The Second Quarterly Board I Meeting of the Southwestern District and Auxilharies held at St. Mary Missionary Baptist Church, March 1 and 2, was indeed a success. The warm hearted welcome and the free hospitality given each messenger, made the atmosphere for good, great in this place. Each head of the department came on time with his well arranged program. The theme that permeated the meeting was "Stewardship." The Ministers and Deacons' special theme, "Victory Thro' Prayer." In this meeting five very helpful messages were delivered by Revs. J. R. Martin, J. W. Hayes, J. E. Douglass, N. J. Stokes, and B. L. Marchant. Rev. Wm. McIlveen, Pres., presided over this meeting. In the B. Y. P. U. Department, Mrs. Carrie Anderson, Pres., presided. Mrs. Laura Anderson had charge of the song service and made good. The addresses were delivered in this department on "Stewardship" from different angles by Reva. A. W. Ross, J. R. Martin, and B. L. Marchant. We could clearly see that we are not our own, neither body nor soul, when they were through. Junior Department, was equally as good under the leadership of Mrs. Fliynola Cook. All seemingly enjoyed the demonstration by Mrs. Laura Anderson and her juniors, though very late and the talk by Eidtor H. T. Sims. Thursday night. Mrs. I. F. Bates, presiding, the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Department, co-operated with the District Missionary, Rev. N. J. Stokes, and a great Sacrificial Hour was enjoyed, where we saw our duties as never before. Rev. L. L. Stewart delivered the sermon to a well filled house. Sunday School Department took up Friday Morning, with Mrs. Mae W. Buckner, presiding. Rev. J. L. Williams had charge of the song service. Many wholesome suggestions were offered for the future success of the District Sunday Schools, by Mr. H. T. Sims, Mrs. Olga Baker, Mrs. Emma Peterson, Rev. J. W. Hayes. The sweet moments of this session was when Mrs. Jewel Brown and Miss Mildred Griffin rendered the duet. They were called back. Then requested to sing again that night. Rev. G. W.

FITEWATER (11) Dean Woody Bible Institute of Chicago (10, 11) Western Newspaper (John) Lesson for March 11 JESUS FEEDS THE MULTITUDE LESSON TEXT—Mark 6 21-44 GOLDEN TEXT—I am the bread of life, he that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. PRIMARY TOPIC—An Unusual Men JUNICR TOPIC—A Hungry Crowd host. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP 11—Jesus Meeting Every Day Needs 12—YOUNG PEOPLN AND ADULT TOP 13—Jesus' Compassion for Human Need 1. Jesus' Invitation to the Weary Disciples (vv. 31, 32). The apostles had just returned from an evangelistic tour in shall ice with a report of what they had done and taught. Their mindly encountled no little stir. Beside Jesus ill himself continued to preach. As a result of their combined ministry, the commotion was so great that there was no opportunity for resting or eating. In such a time of real Jesus invited his disciples to retire from the crowd and rest in order to do this they departed privately by ship for a desert place, methods of withdrawal from the crowd in fellowship with the Lord the necessary after evangelistic andulgans. They serve a double purpose. To get the eyes of the ministers 2. To prevent despondency for their failures. 11. Jesus Teaching the Ignorant Mistitude (vv. 33, 34). 1. Thronged by the people (v. 33) The wonderful words and works of the Lord and His disciples brought the multitudes to them. To escape the throng they took their departure for a desert place (v. 32). Seeking the Lord and His disciples depart the people from the surrounding cities anticipated their landing place, and proceeding thither, welcomed the pilgrimage upon its arrival. 2. The Lord moved with compassion (v. 34). Instead of becoming irritated by the intusion of the crowd Ils heart was moved with pity. Ils personal interests were forgotten as the needs of the shepherdless sheep pressed upon Ils notice, therefore He began to teach them many things. Jesus is now the same compassionate Saslor touched with the feelings of our in families (Heb. 4:13). III. Jesus Feeding the Hungry Mul-trude (vv. 35-44). I. Conference with the disciples (vv. 35-38). (1) The disciples request that the multitude he sent to the surrounding villages to buy bread (v. 37). According to Matthew, Christ made the proposition that the multitude be fed (Matt. 14:10). (2) Jesus commands them to feed the multitude (v. 37). (3) The disciples perplexity (v. 37). They began to calculate us to the amount of provisions required. They asked the Lord whether they should go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread. Their perplexity was due to the fact that they were depending upon their own resources instead of Christ. To be face to face with the humanly impossible has a threefold benefit. (a) It makes us realize our dependence upon Christ; (b) Drives us to Illum for help in our need; (c) Lends us to give Illum the glory to the results. Though our ability to teach, preach or to give, be merciful when coupled with the Lord's ability it is equal to any demand. 2. Jesus' method in feeding the attitudes (vv. 30-44). (1) The Lord's part. This was to have instructions as to the method of procedure and to create the pro- vision. Though they had that love loaves and two fishes he so increased them that the need of the hungry attitude was met. (2) The disciples' part. They were to have the people sit down in some places so as to facilitate distribution. They then took that which the Sister had blessed and distributed it to the people. The disciples' susceptibility was not for the creation of the provision, but for its distribution to the people. (3) The power that their part was not to create for distribute, but cheekily to put down and partake of the provisions even after the bread had been taken by the Lord and distributed to the disciples, they would have found with hunger had they not parted of the food. Unless the people were to Jesus Christ and the sultan in which He has provided they all eternally starve. The Lord has a useful part. The disciples are under sultan obligation to do their part and the final responsibility rests upon the people. Obedience Obedience is the secret. Not stay fish obedience, but sympathetic, loving sugar obedience. May the law of holiness be to me welcome as the light, sweet as the flowers, more to desired than much fine gold!—W I. Watkinson. A genuine brother's keeper is more concerned with his brother's peril than his own pleasures.—Christian (Oh sewer) 'B. Y. P. U. LESSON 11 REV. J. W. HAYES SUNDAY MARCH 11, 1928 Subject: "What Do Missions Do?" Matt. 10:5-15. Missions do what nothing else can They spread the panacca for all ilis, giving each Christian a definite task to perform and the church a program for every day of every week. Missions make the world a brotherhood. The twelve apostles were the instruments in the hands of God for the spreading of missions throughout the world. They were selected, ordained and sent forth imbued with power to make disciples of all nations: 1. They are to go to Israel, the home base, and proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom. They are to hear the body and cleanse the soul without charge. The only provision they are to make is to prepare the message and declare it. They are to stop in the homes of those who are worthy, praying God's blessings upon it. If a home rejects them they are to depart from it and God's vengeance will visit that home or city. They are not to think of their big gage but their message. The liar o true believers is a life of faith. The support of a true minister of the Gospel rests at the door of true believers. The rejection of God's representatives is a rejection of Him. We are not prepared to go to the lost until we have been with Jesus. The apostles sat at His feet until they were imbued with His spirit and then went forth to reproduce the life of Jesus in the lives of rich. Why is it that so few people or interested in missions? What can be done to awaken the church to a sense of its missionary responsibility? Do you ever offer a fervent missionary prayer; and do you ever make a missionary offering that means real sacrifice? Leavenworth Kansas THIST BAPTIST CHURCH The Oldest Church in State of Kane. Rev. E. W. Anthony, Pastor. S. S. on time, Supt. B. J. Washington, presiding; 30 scholars. S. S. is growing rapidly. Morning worship: great praise service led by Bro. A. Miles, sweet singer of Israel. The Pastor then preached from subject, "Love." He said the greatest love came from God, and by the gift of His only Son we are saved and by His blood shed on Calvary's height, we are cleansed. We had a glorious service; all were blessed, each soul set on fire. Mission group No. 2; President, Mrs. J. Jennings met at the home of Mrs. Sampson on 10th St. Sunday evening services well attended. Pastor spoke from subject: "The Evidences of Regeneration." This was another great sermon. The church is working hard to raise $1500 by 2nd Sunday. It will be on of the greatest days ever celebrated in the history of the church. 1st Baptist holds the title of being the oldest church in the State; and we look upon her in her pride. The church has come through many hard trials, and besetments; the oldest member living, who has witnessed every stage of the church, is Sister Jane Jackson. She has been a faithful member all through the life of the church. We have had some great leaders, some have passed to the great beyond; but can refer to some who have brought the church to its high mark; Revs. King, Ross, Hayes, W. H. Hill, R. A. Cartwright, M. G. Stewart and our present pastor E. W. Anthony, a true servant of God, who will do all in his power to put to program over. We are glad of so the program over. We are glad of our Pastor and his good wife, who labors so faithful by his side. This ye: the church has progressed as never before. The church is alive-wise in the community. It is one of the leading colored churches in the city. Unit No. 10 will present a play titled "The Wages of Sin," on Monday night, March 5th, at First Baptist Church. We want a packed house. The Masquarade Party given at Loree of Sister F. Wingfield was a decedent success and goodly number was present. The six of our members are Bro. Frank Poach and Sis. Arna Sampson. The B. Y. P. U. had a good number out Sunday, 50 present. Old Religious Section, whose loyal leaders are Miss Irene Poach and Miss Sarah Arfiefe, minister the program.

SUNFLOWER BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. B. T. McMiller, Pastor. S. S. is doing fine in progress under leadership of R. W. White.

Great program was rendered. 8 00 p. m. Pastor preached from subject; "You Are Welcome." Luke 14: This great sermon will be long remembered. Rev. McMiller is doing great things at Sunflower Bapt. He is putting his heart into the work and his members love him and are working to help carry out his program this year. He has accomplished much by the members rallying to his assistance.

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting ot Topeka 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 apportion- MME. R. Manufacturer of Hum Preparations and PR CAL BRO PL CO Va PROMPT MAIL O Send in order for any Will be shipped to PHONE MKT. 5726 FOR GOODS 639 N. WATER ST. MME. ed 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 require gents. 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 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 rastors must carry on and the educational work must not be neglected. We are the Lord's ard the work is His command. He will make possible if we only trust Him. This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully, Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular? KAW VALLEY DISTRICT ASSOCIATION CHURCHES Churches P. O. Yearly 1. 1st Baptist, K. C.

SINCE love cannot have its way and there is no price too dear to pay for it. Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander thinks $60,000 is too cheap to purchase the cutting assu- der of her love—she will consider $500,000 or still live on the $200 per month as his wife. THE Negro power to co-operate, was lost in the 200 years of slavery, and it will take many years of trials and failures, study and worry to bring back this needed asset to make a giant race. An illustration is seen in the failure of the Fraternal & Solvent Bank & Trust Company in Memphis, Tenn. Review the dishonesty, the friction, the dividing of church members, conventions, conferences and businesses of many kinds, which is evidence of the lack of power to co-opreatre. We must not stop because of this fact, but we must continue to try, educate and trust, until it will come back, because the race must have it to be a mighty race. A man is a person who goes thru, he may be pulled down, he may fall, he may lose out, but he will not stop until he pulls himself and the ones who pulled him down, up. He will turn his failures into success and pay with usury for all of his losses. There is something that will not let a man stop, He must go thru.

E., has for her hobby, giv- THE KICK IN THE KISS. For the benefit of the uninitiated it is here stated that a kiss is a compression of the closed cavity of the mouth by the Cheeks, giving a slight sound when the rounded contact of the lips with another's is broken. It tastes better than it sounds. A would-be crepe-hanger has informed an indifferent and unresponsive world that every kiss indulged in shortens one's life three minutes. If this bird has the correct dope, he has certainly suggested a delightful method of leaving this vale of tears. If the pleasure of kissing must be given up in order to reach a ripe old age, a referendum on the subject would undoubtedly be unanimous in favor of an early but blissful demise. But it is apparent that the facts in the case are contrary to the conclusion arrived at. There are no records available of long-distance, nonstop osculatory feats with their attendant losses, so one must rely more or less on personal experience. The aforesaid experience convinces all bu a few more fortunate and oftener-kissed ones that they were born to outlive Methuselah. For where is there a man with soul too dead to admit that he has kissed more than is good for him? And to even inquire for such a woman is futile. Other evidence to refute the contention that osculation shortens life might be introduced, but why trouble one's self about it? If one could prove that a single kiss meant instant death there would be millions willing to make the leap. A little kissing now and then is relished by the best of 'em. ing parties. Mr. II. T., had the honor of carrying Miss G. C. to the show last Monday nite. Oh! It was heard that Miss L. C. has the best go with Mr. M. B. Wonder why Mr. M. T., was given a conference, Tuesday.

HIS OWN Last Sunday night, before Deacon N. R. Rentz could reach home from service at Calvary Baptist Church, God had called His child home in the person of Mrs. Chailotte Rentz. Her record at home, lodge, community, and church, "She has done what she could for others." She came into this world about 61 years ago in Alabama, to express God in action to man, she did her best in every way. She was the mother of 12 children, 6 of whom survive her; 3 girls and 3 boys; 3 daughter-in-laws and one son-in-law, with many relatives and friends. She spent the most of her life in Lawrence, and Iola, Kansas, and came to Wichita, a few years ago, from hero she left us to report to the Father, to see if she had expressed to the world what life desired and then hear Him say, "Come ye blessed, and inherit the department prepared by My Son." Her funeral was preached by Pastor J. W. Hayes, at Calvary, yesterday. The children were all here for the funeral. The Eastern Star was in charge of the ceremonies at the church. Many resolutions expressed the usefulness of this sister. It was a sad service, because so many loved her, but we have not learned to love more than God, so He took her and we commend her into Ills hands and say: Goodbye mother, wife and friend, You have gone where joys never end; We loved you all we could, we know, Sat God loved you more and more. So He it is that called you home. From where you des're not to roam. Salina, Kansas News. St. John's Baptist Church services were good and well attended Sunday. The State Missionary, Rev. A. W.

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 pains or griling." 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 drugglust has this remarkable substance.
