Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol. 20, No. 51, In an edition a few weeks ago, you no doubt read my 1st mental explosion. I wonder if the explosion was loud enough to awaken some of the sleepers. I believe I should say, it is not my intention to start everybody to thinking, or to have everybody agree with my thoughts. But I hope to 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 Mar. 1st I saw this clipping and after reading it carefully, I found out that some one else was thinking along the lines I am. Take it for it is worth: THE RISING NEGRO THE RISING NEGRO—(clipping) A most interesting little book on character analysis, by which the average man can obtain some sidelights into his own character by answering a new apparently guileless questions, includes this tricky one: "Do you think a Negro doctor is as capable as a white doctor?" And a large part of the population, governed by prejudices of which it is unaware, would answer "No" and, turning to the back of the book would find that this answer stamped them as having racial prejudice. The Negro professional man in America, outside the larger cities, labors under tremendous handicaps Considering the obstacles imposed on them, it is amazing that so many have been able to succeed. In the larger cities, brilliant Negro lawyers, singers, successful Negro surgeons and actors, are no longer a curiosity. But the Negro professional man has to contend with the prejudices of his own race, as well as those of the white people. Many Negroes, accustomed to take one white man at his face value, consciously accept his assumption of superiority in the professions, and when they are sick or when they need a lawyer, they prefer to intrust themselves to a white lawyer, or doctor, altho there may be Negro professional men who are much more highly skilled. These prejudices are as deeply ingrained in the Negro race as they are in the white race. It is commonly observed, in states which permit traveling Negroes to eat in the dining cars, that the Negro waiters frequently take occasion to slight and to insult in small ways, the Negroes who venture in. The Negro waiters feel that the Negro diner is "putting on airs" by eating in the dining car, and take occasion to show their prejudices. The Negro race, if it is to gain equality in the profession with the white race, must respect its own professional men—its many brilliant teachers, actors, lawyers, doctors and ministers. Negroes should be proud of the success of Roland Hayes, Charles Gilpin, Florence Mills and others w. already have commanded the respect and admiration of the white people. Furthermore, Negroes should assist in every way members of their own race, at present unknown, who are struggling for similar eminence. For if these Negro profession men do not have the respect of their own race, they cannot hope to gain that of the white—Emporia Gazete.

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting of 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 $7,000.00 be apportion- PR Fale Brow Fle Pin Coo Van 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 $200 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention $250.00 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 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 State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully, W. A BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W. ROSS, Executive Secy. and Supt. of Missions. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?
