Negro Star

THE NEVER RO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 52, In the March 23rd edition of the Negro Star, you no doubt read the clipping from the Emporia Gazette; you either agreed or disagreed with the thoughts of the writer. I feel it my duty to comment on stress some of the things for sure. I can assure you that you will agree that the Negro professional man especially in America, labors under tremendous handicaps and I am sure that those of us who have given this fact any consideration, wonder how they succeed at all. The success is small in proposition; in other words, we should have more Roland Hayes, Chas Gilpin and Florence Mills; more Drs. Curtis, Den Williams, J. H. Haley, and Warfield; with a few other noted surgeons that I will not mention. Our law is and doing nicely, when you think what they are up against: Reading cases before white judges and jurors. I will leave it to you to say, aren't they doing fine? . I have never heard of a surgical operation being performed by a white man, that has not been performed by a Negro surgeon and with equal skill and success. By the way, I believe my mental explosions are doing good, I read in The Beacon that some of our doctors have awakened and are organizing a Negro Base Ball Club. That is a step forward for our Race. Yet I think that as medical men, an equal investment along the lines of their activities would have put them on a higher plane, than what they are doing. For instance, a hospital for our people, would allow them to develop as surgeons, in fact, in every line that goes to make a recognized hospital. They could train our girls that are desirous of being trained nurses (and are much needed) And thereby show to the citizens of Wichita, and the world that they did not complete their medical education to be dependent on any one else engaged in the same profession; but the only reason that he is white. I believe that we have as good surgeons and doctors among our doctors here in Wichita, as they have in the other race: the only thing they have not been given a chance to demonstrate this ability, or develop here we're trusting that the thinking doctors, will not stop thinking with the organization of a Base Ball Club—Something to demonstrate the ability of other individuals of our race, but that they will organize something so much needed here in Wichita, that they can demonstrate their ability as medical and surgical men, thereby proving to the non-believer that they are not dependents. Some may argue that Wichita, will not support a hospital, but I learned years ago, that nothing beats a trial but a failure. Ball clubs have failed here. But has a hospital for our people? I notice in The Negro Star that an aged mother, the mother of the editor of that paper, and of a dentist here, had been operated on in a Negro hospital and by a Negro surgeon. She made a rapid recovery, even though the operation was serious. Could she have done any better had she been operated on in a white hospital, by white surgeons? My answer would be no. The editor's wife was operated on here in our city by a white surgeon, a colored surgeon looking on. She, too, made a rapid recovery. Could she have done so if operated on in a Negro hospital, by Negro surgeons? My answer would be yes. The editorial from the Emporia Gazette, states that the prejudice is as deeply ingrained in the Negro Race as they are in the white race; which is true. And if we wish for our race to gain equally in the professions, we must respect our professional men, and place the same confidence in him as a professional man as you place in the other race, engaged in the same profession. If you can take a white man with his race hatred at face value, why not take one of our own race at face value Rece Pride Is What We Need. RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION Clipped by W. L. Hutcheson, North Carolina, and Duke University in particular, have been paying especially warra tribute, lately, to John Spencer Bassett, historian, who was killed recently in an accident. Since 1906, Dr. Bassett had been professor of American History at Smith College. There too, as elsewhere in the university would, his abilities as a historian are being recalled. But Duke University, the successor of Old Trinity College, remembers Bassett as one of its students, and later, one of its teachers who established academic freedom in North Carolina, after one of the lowest rights any educational institution ever has known. John Spencer Bassett was graduated from Trinity college in 1888. After taking his doctorate at John Hopkins, he returned to Trinity as teacher of history. Writing in the South Atlantic Quartet, of which he was founder, during 1903, he said that with the exception of Robert E. Lee, the greatest man was born in the South within the last century, was Booker T. Washington. Southern Democracy was outraged, and demanded immediate removal of one depicted and dangerous. The fight on the teacher was led by Josephus Daniels through his newspapers—the same Josephus Dericks who played so prominent a part in the great war to make all men free. Bishop John C. Klige, then President of Trinity; the trustees, and the faculty stood by Dr. Bassett. They went on record as favoring freedom of speech and thought in a community that was lynching Negroes almost daily...Dr. Bassett retained his position, and subsequent accents have borne out Walter Ilines Page's word written while the fight was at its height: "If this fight is won ... it would be the most important event in the history of North Carolina, in our time; for free speech and free teaching will be won for all time to come here."—"New Student."

GETTING ON LYNCHING HONOR ROLL NEW YORK CITY, Macrh 29—(PNS)—A total of 16 lynchings in seven States, fourteen fewer than in 1926, were recorded during 1927, by the commission on race relations of the Federal Council of Churches. More states were abel to report no lynchings in 1927 than ever before, according to the commission's report. Georgia and Florida, for the first time since the commission began to keep records, climbed into the no lynching column. Five states, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont, have never had a lynching, according to the data in the hands of the commission. New York has reported none during the rest ten years. WICHTA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Mar. 30, 1928. M. H. H. The alive is the illicenses of REV, & MR3, A. L.

Perry of Oklahoma City, has been bringing such powerful messages, at Calvary. Christians have had their spiritual strength renewed, Back-silvers have been reclaimed, Many have decided to accept a church home in Wichita, and souls have found Jesus precious to their souls. More than 25 have been added to the Kingdom. The baptism will take place Sunday. Many members and friends from all the churches took part in the Basille The pastors came' whenever circumstances would permit. Dr. Perry is a great Gospel preacher; he knows, where you live and can fit you with every message. Wichita will be better since this Great Revival, and Calvary, especially. Meeting will close with service tonight, and we will go on praying that Dr. Perry may have strength to go on helping others as he goes. RACE MINISTER CONVERTS WHITE WOMAN OSKALOOSA, KAN. March 20—(PNS)—This town is in the midst of a great sensation caused by the conversion of a prominent white woman of this place in a meeting conducted by a Negro preacher and in Negro church. It was unprecedented that so many prominent whites attended the services in this little church, these including the mayor, postmaster, ministers and other leading persons of the white race. This was especially surprising because the K. K. K. sentiment is said to dominate things in Oskaloosa. But the climax of interest came, when on Wednesday night a prominent white woman stood up and confessed herself a sinner, then walked forward and confessed Christ, giving her hand to Dr. R. A. Adams of Kansas City, Kansas, the evangelist in charge of the evangelistic campaign. This was but a repetition of an incident in Hot Springs, Ark., two months ago, when the same evangelist was instrumental in the conversion of a leading southern white man of that city. Race people believe that Dr. Adams' work here will bring a better understanding between the races.

Sworn to and abascribed before me the 25th day of March, 1928. DR. N. D. BPILEY. Notary Public SOME STATES SOCIALIZING THE RACE. +9+9+9 It has been an urgent desire of mine for sometime to write something about these peoples that have their being upon the face of the earth. The Caucasian race is the dominating people. They have enjoyed the luxuries and freedom that made possible. The Neg's life is one struggles of some kind no doubt have of servitude and he that would be great, let him be the servant of all and I speak of the Negro race as a whole. They have been servants to that dominant Caucasian race and have served them well. Let us as a race not feel humbled or humiliated in the least for in the humble capacity in which we have worked, we have done it well. The white race becomes perplexed with life when they are not flourishing and scaling the mountains with ease. The Ethiopian race feels discouraged because he is hand capped in so many ways, because of one thing, that is: because he or she is an Ethiopian or belong to those who are called the dark races; but the Ethiopian race so easily overcomes these obstacles for when young, give him a sandwich, he smiles and when you give him a piece of pie, his face is all aglow. For the Creator, has thus created him so, and Why? God the Creator doth only know; and now the races, are taming brotherhood, and its survey, should take in every creature under the Sun. Why speak brotherhood from the lips, and the heart not be in harmony with that which they have spoken." That is why Jesus taught sincerity in worship. Truly, means that which you have uttered. Brotherhood ought not reach out for some to caress, and bring them in under your care, and leave the others out to be blighted by the noonday sun. For "Christ doth care for all" and if you be Christ-like, you must bring all under your wing, that, they may be cared for, while the storms of life are raging around about them. That is what God means when He says, I have no respect of persons, means we must take all under our care, regardless of race, color or previous conditions of servitude. The time is now at hand, when men must read the Bible and simply its meanings, so they will know what he wants to do, and then do it. I am afraid if we fail in that, and in many other things, we will be weighed in the balance and found wanting. And you know when you are not giving a good weight, you are not giving satisfaction; so, you may know how you will stand in the presence of the Lord—found wanting, falling short of our duties, that he has given us to do. Now get these races where in sometimes, are much friction, cease to be angry with each other, but be patient and loving with one another, doing good for evil, showing forth that Christ-like spirit. Let it be exemplified by all peoples. Jesus came into the world, something like 2000 years ago and was born in a lowly manger in Bethlehem; truly, Ills coming was for this purpose: "Peace On Earth, Good Will 'oward Men"; and when Christ's Kingdom is established within the hearts of men, then will brotherhood Come a realization. Then there will be no for friction, or war among the race. But our meeting will be pleasant and sweet, and will be mete for repentence for our now shortcomings. Thus will our living here be so heaven-like, that we will not be anxious to go to a better land; and I will say to all races to study God's word and the misunderstandings will finally be erased because brothly love will tend to bring happiness and not sorrow into the world. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., Makes Ready for Great Program of Advance. 500 MEMBERS THEIR GOAL! But few people realize what a mighty force our Colored Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association is. Our most ardent members and loyal supporter are so busy that they have only a vague idea of its import. They believe it is an organization for good, but for what good they have no definite idea. However, the National leaders hold up the local work as a model for its community Outreach and Volunteer leadership, as well as its definite plans or organization. Our colored "Y" has the interest and support of the biggest and best white citizens. The Press of the entire city is a booster for the work. It counts among its friends, the entire Ministry and the Leaders in the Educational Life of Wichita. Some Five Cents Per Copy THE AMERICAN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Whites Creek Road NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE JULY 10-20, 1923. The Board of Directors take pleasure in announcing a summer conference of Ministers and all Christian Workers to be held on the Seminary Campus beginning Tuesday, July 10, and running through July 20, 1923. Ten days full of spiritual and intellectual help for all of our busy pastors, ministers and Christian Workers. This is the second Christian Workers Conference at the Seminary. The first one was held July 1927, and proved so helpful that many requests have come asking that the same opportunity be offered this year. There will be regular class periods and daily instructors and lecturers. These lectures will cover about every phase of Church and Civic life. Pastors should arrange to spend these ten days at Nashville, in touch with the great minds—both living and dead. No Baptist Minister in this and adjacent states should fall to take advantage of this help which is offered. No charge is made for instruction. Room is furnished, bring your sheets and blankets. Come prepared to pay your board which can be found for 75c or $100 a day. We shall soon publish a list of names of instructors. For further information, write the president of the Seminary. Wm. T. AMIGER, President. of its outstanding friends are:—Mr. A. A. Hyde, Mr. T. M. Deal, Mr. W. C. Coleman, Mr. E. L. Davison, Hon. Henry J. Allen, Mr. C. M. Jackman, Hon. Victor Murdock, Mr. Marcellus Murdock, Mr. H. W. Darling, Mr. Will K. Jones; the entire Board and Staff of the City; as well as the state leaders. There are many others that might be called by name. But time will not permit. Our general Secretary, Dr. Ross W. Sanderson has been an outstanding factor in the development of the work; even before he became General Secretary. These men and a great host of others have given of their best, in the interest of Justice and a square deal to the colored citizens of Wichita. Our white friends—especially Mr. Hyde—have stood by us. It is up to us to help ourselves, by putting over this campaign 100%. Let us keep this faith by renewing our membership. Also, let us bring in our cause to be brought in, some renewals between now and April 5. Our Annual Campaign is on. It may be we can win without YOU, but we cannot win as big as we ought to with you. An Associate Secretary is to be secured in the very near future, to assist with the work. The following is the Campaign organization; its captains and personnel. Three valuable prizes are to be given to the three men who deliver in the biggest way, in this Campaign. *B. W. Crawford* Dr. P. M. Bell, Billy Mitchell Percy Carter B. A. Offett C. H.

AN ESSAY “HE THAT ADDETH AND TAB* ETH FROM.” Rev, 22:18-19 says, “For 1 Testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God-shall add unto him the lagues’ that are written in this Pook.” Deut, 4:2 “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you neither shall ye diminish ought from it that ye may keep the command- ments of the Lord your God, which IT command you.” Deut. 12:42 What things soever I command you, ob- serve to do its; thou shall not add thereto nor diminish from it, Prov. $0:4,5,6. Whoso hath ascended up into heaven or descended, who bath gathered the wind in his fist, who hath bound the watera in a garment, who hath estabhahed all the ends of the earth, What is His name and what is His son’s name; if thou canst tell; Every word of God is pure He isa shield. unto them that put their trust in Him, Add thou not unto His words, lest he reprove thee and thou be found a lar. Joshua 1:7, Only Le thou strong and very courageous tnat thou mayst observe to do ace cording to ail the law which Moses my servant commanded thee; turn not from it to the right hand or to the left that thoy mayest prosper, whither soever thou goest. Deut. 23: 14, And thou shall not go aside from any of the words of which I com- mand thee thia day to the right hand or to the left to go efter gods to serve them. Rev, 22:19, And if any man shall take away trom these werds of this prophecy, God shall ¢ake away his part out of the book of life and out of the holy city, and from the things which are writ- 4en in this book. Exodus 32:33 And the Lrod said unto Moses, whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book, [zek, 18:4. Behold, allsouls are mine; the soul that sinneth it shall die, Psalm 69; 27-28, says, Add iniquity unto their iniquity and let them not come into thy righteousness, Them be blotted out of the book of the living and not be written with the righteous. Rom, 1:28, And _even as they did not hke to retain God in their knowledge God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those cues which are not senvenient, St, John 10.26,27, But’ ye believe not because ye are not of my sheep as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me, St. John 8:47, He that is of God, heareth God’s words ye therefore, hear them not because ye are of God's, Eccl. 12:13, 14, Let us hear the conclu- sion of the whole matter fear God and keep hiscommandments for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judg- ment with every secret thing wheth- er it be good or whether it be bad. MRS. D. H, ILL. 7 s. Weilington Notes. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Wiliam Mellveen, Pastor.

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-laborer: 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. J Manufacturer of Human Preparations and 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 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 I 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. 9, 1927. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular? Churchen P. O. Yearly 1. 1st Baptist, K. C. K. $250.00 2. Metropolitan, K. C.
