THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 21, No. 1, WHITE MINISTERS COULD HELP STOP LYNCHING MINISTERS CLAIM WASHINGTON, D. C., April 4—(PNS)The belief that white ministers should take a firmer stand against the evil of lynching and mob law was expressed Thursday by delegates attending the session of the Inter-denominational Ministerial Alliance of America at the Metropolitan Baptist church in a symposium on"The Anglo-Saxon Pulpit in its Attitude toward Lynching, Mob Law and Law Enforcement." Colored ministers discussing the subject declared that fearless denunciation of such practices on the part of the white pulpits would do much to eradicate such evils. It was pointed out that white ministers are often negligent and sometimes indifferent and do not condemn these evils strongly enough. Rabbit J. T. Loeb, of the Ohev Sholem Congregation, spoke before the assemblage. He praised the achievements of the colored people and said he looked forward to greater fraternity between the different races. Representative U. S. Guyer, of Kansas, also spoke during which he strongly advocated complete enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, and told of their enforcement in Kansas. He also advocated equal enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment in every state. The Alliance went on record as approving the movement to erect a national memorial building in Washington devoted to the colored race. It also approved a bill pending in Congress calling for the creation of a Negro Industrial Commission. The organization declined, however, to approve a resolution expressing sympathetic support of the Pullman porters in their efforts to obtain better working conditions on the grounds that only the porters' side of the question has been heard AUSTRALIA PLANS TO BAR NEGROES SIDNEY, AUSTRALIA, April 2—(PNS)—A demand for revision of immigration laws forbidding Negroes and restricting Italians has been made by former Premier William Hughes, under the rallying cry of "white Australia." The demand is said to have followed the action of South Wales in deporting an American Negro jazz band, known as Sonny Clay's Plantation orchestra. The musicians have been placed aboard the liner Seierra which sailed Saturday for San Francisco. It is said that Australia women were too fond of jazz music and too friendly and too friendly and too interested in the black musicians. Topeka News Notes ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH REV. A. L.

A loss of efficiency in one industry not only hurts that enterprise itself but slows up every other key industry, shaking the credit foundations of the nation and causing unemployment, lower wages and eventually higher prices. The link between all industries, therefore, must be particularly close and dependent. The closer the relationship becomes, the greater the efficiency and progress that can be developed until we have an inter-relationship of all business life that is the backbone of the nation's progress.

There are a good many writers now on the subject of Reincarnation and Evolution, most of us refuse to study them, because they do not pursue the course that most of us can understand. One says about reincarnation in order for something to incarnate in something else—to clothe itself with flesh, we must have two different expression of substance; the first something which incarnates being relatively permanent as compared with the clothing of flesh in which it incarnates. To reincarnate is for this relatively permanent something, which is called by various names, but usually designated as "the soul or ego" to clothe itself with a material body more than once, the previous objective form having been dissolved at what we call death, and the new body, in which the ego incarnates, formed at what we call birth. We read in the Scriptures, "Ye must be born again." "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." I am thinking of wasted energy, striving hard, without results. There doesn't seem to be any constructive business interest going on in our little town, but the undertakers business, and there is in it a sure thing, for society has made it the most sacred and well secured activity in which our people could be engaged for profit, in fact it costs too much to bury our dead; and everybody that died will again rise and most of the people die premature. in all kinds of ways; if we will notice the invariability of nature's low, those passing from the earth premature, will be born again, premature, they say, just as a man live here, just so you (he) live there. Then we ought to be concerned about the kind of seed we plant; I mean that we should know that the man is safe—that he is able to take care of himself in the other plane, or for that matter anywhere. We should try and create a better environment for our people to live longer, that means born again—return to earth, to school, to another chance, once more opportunity, and it is said by some, that most of the people, die at premature age, from evil causes and bad effects. Please notice carefully the meaning of the invariability of nature's law, those passing from the earth at premature age, will die early, on the other plane, a premature existence there is from not knowing how to live any more on that plane, than you could expect him to know how to live on this earth. I think that we should be very careful as to the teaching and the training of human beings, it takes one who knows how to obtain the best seed to grow a crop worth harvesting, who knows the value of the soil, the usefulness of the product, we should know that the plant is in the right soil, that the man is aske—that he is able to take care of himself, being full grown. On this or any other plane or for that matter anywhere. We should try and create a better environment for our people live longer, to live happier, to be more useful to themselves and others, in order to get better returns in order to get better returns in the tomorrow. Any Ego or Soul, to live in a wrecked physical body for 50 years, without any real good morals, with bad conduct, uneducated, ungrateful, and died off this plane, then at 50 years, I can't see of what interest he could be to the souls or egos, on that or any other plane. I mean wherever he may be; but sinners are not promised but half of their days; 35 years, then comes to premature death. He enters into another state or condition, or world on a different plane, from the one he has just passed. Naturally on a level with many who are gravitating back toward our world, where nature who has no respect of persons, are ushing them back to us, swifter than the pure, or long-lived souls to take their places among the children of men, again, giving them another chance. Born again to have their lot with the children of men. That's what we will get tomorrow, that's evolution and that's reincarnation, that's what was sown, and that's what we will reap. But the Kingdom of God, (good,) is with the children of men; all mysteries are revealed to man, the husbandry of the earth, the keepers of the True kingdom, where honesty, purity, common sense, justice, self-respect, love for others, morality, freedom, and all right endeavors are preserved and taught to the inhabitants of the earth, free, without price.

REASONING (Industrial News Bureau) An ordinary citizen who infringes on the law by parking his car in the wrong place or exceeding the speed limit, is summarily dealt with, fined, and made to feel that he is an undesirable character and lucky to be out of the penitentiary. On the other hand, an honest-to-goodness crook who helped steal the $500,000,000 worth of loot that was taken from property owners last year, is treated in a manner which permits and encourages the continuance of these thefts. It is even difficult to secure the passage of legislation which interferes with the business of "fences" (the receivers and sellers of stolen property.) Leavcnworth News, INDEPENDENT BAPT.

Life's heavy load may press me down, No helper nor helpers nigh be found; Tho seeming curred by God and men, "Resurgam" (I shall rise again) Tho enemies ensnare my feet, And, scoffing, deem my fall complete, Tho I cannot say where, nor when, "Resurgam!" (I shall rise again!) If I be vanquished in the fight Or fall, contending for the right, Falling shall be my cry, e'en then, "Resurgam!" (I shall rise again!) And, if in fighting I should die, Immortal, death shall I defy; Inscrutable to human ken, "Resurgam!" (I shall rise again!) HILLSDALE, KANSAS NOTES.

Five Cents Per Copy AN EASTER MESSAGE BY R. A. ADAMS Attending a burial in East Orange, N. J., I was impressed with the depth of the grave in which the remains were interred, for it must have been at least ten feet. On making inquiry I was informed that it was the custom to bury whole families in the same grave, for the sake of economy, since lots were so expensive. This deep grave and the revelation concerning it, suggested the thought that there are many people who bury in deep, deep graves their dearest interests, placing in there one by one until all are there, and figuratively they chisel on the tombstone the words, "There shall be no resurrection." For such persons this Easter message is written, for, if they will on Easter Day (or any other day) do as did Mary and Martha in regard to Lazarus they will witness the resurrection of those buried interests. Let us analyze: Some have buried their joy—all of their joy, in some deep grave with their loved ones. A wife's joy was buried with the remains of her husband. A mother buried her joy with child whom she loved so well. A husband is joyless because his joy went into the grave with the clods when the minister said, Earth to earth and dust to dust." A daughter has been comfortless for years because her joy lies dead in the grave with her mother. Do as Mary and Martha did. Lead the way. Show Jesus just where you laid your joy; then stand by and hear Him speak and see your joy arise! Many a one has buried his faith. A woman walled, "I lost faith in my husband, then lost faith in God," ending, "if there is a God and He accepts the worship of my husband, then I hate that God!" The writer found a woman who had lost faith—it had been dead and buried for fourteen years. Young women who have been betrayed and forsaken have lost faith in mankind—and the instances are endless! Jesus understands; and if those who have lost faith will look up to Him who arose from the dead, there will be a resurrection of their buried faith! Perhaps the saddest death and interment must be that of HOPE! Paul makes hope more enduring than faith, when he writes "There abideth these three, faith, hope, love." Often hope holds on after faith is dead and buried; then hope breathes her last and is buried in the same deep grave with faith and joy. The lesson of Easter is one of the resurrection of Jesus Christ who arose from Joseph's new rock-hewn tomb, victor over death and the grave. The resurrection of Jesus makes possible our resurrection from "the death of sin to the life of righteousness." Believing, trusting, surrendering, if we will lead Jesus to the sepulchre in which we have buried our joy, our faith, our hope, there will be a glorious resurrection! DELAY SOUGHT IN PINE BLUFF COLLEGE PROGRAM PINE BLUFF, ARK, Apr. 5 (PNS) Efforts will be made to delay the $450,000 building program for the State Branch Normal College here, until next year, when a bill be introduced to the state legislature providing for the purchase of 40 acres of land closer to Pine Bluff then the 160-acre tract which has been purchased for the new site of the school State Senator Caldwell announced Friday.

Colored Boosters of Kansas City, and Wichita Division, ran a special train to Ft. Scott. For some cause, the Wichita train did not arrive. Kansas City, was strong and enjoyed themselves in our little City, Mr. Nick Myers, chief booster of the Wichita Division, had charge of the program which was rendered in the beautiful Memorial Hall; Mrs. Lyon, of K. C. was Mistress of Ceremony. A fine program was rendered at 2 p. m., and at 8 p. m. The evening program closed about 9:15; then the hall was turned over to the young people, without restriction, and you may know what happened. It seems that the whole affair was only a disguise for pulling off a big dance. Quite a number of Church members remained and gave their moral support to the dance, while some of the younger Christians could not resist the temptation. There seems to be little, for the preacher to spend his time and life to prepare sermons for the encouragement and edification of the people when the church seems to be a partner with the world in carrying out worldly programs. No Christian should dance, nor attend a dance. If a Christian is invited to a place, and then dancing is introduced as a part of the program, that Christian should accept it as an insult, and at once depart from the place. The churches of the city are struggling and it will continue to be a struggle, as long as the church and the world are in fellowship with each other other. Rev. Chas. O. Marshall of Chanute, will preach three nights of this week at Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday will be a great day with Shiloh; Pastor, M. J.

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 played on the dining car of the M. O. P. train from Little Rock, Ark., and should be commended for his loyalty to his church, for whenever he is in the city, he always goes to the place of worship and takes part. B. Y. P. U., met at 6:30 p. m. All officers present. Lesson Topic: "Why Should One Be A Christian?" lesson taught by Rev. M. J. Jackson, teacher. Many good thoughts brought out on the lesson. Mrs. Suslie Williams, Presidene, will have a free reception, April $1d The 1st baby raised on Eagle Brand Condensed Milk is now almost seventy years old. Since 1857 —the safest of all in- fant foods. Borden's EAGLE BRAND CONDENSED MILK RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION 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 I ad them forth in this much needed and butiness-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Ministers 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 Sec'y. and Supt. of Missions. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?

Jackson, M'g'r 628 N. Maid MILK & CREAM Rose and Butter" 132 N. Walnut JRSEY Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (13) REV P R FITZWATTER 1910 SWAN MOOLY Bible Institute of Chicago (6) 1928 Western Newspaper Union Lesson for April 8 THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST (EASTER LESSON) PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Comes to Life Again. JUNIOR TOPIC—Christ Lives from the Grave. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Jesus, Our Living Leader YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Power of the Resurrection. 1. The Ministry of Love (v. 11) 1. By whom (v. 1). Mary Mauds lene, the mother of James and Sa frone. They brought sweet spices with which to enolnt film. 2. When? (v. 2). Early in the morning of the first day of the week 3. Their perplexity (v. 3, 4) They questioned as to who should roll away the large stone from the mouth of the tomb. To their surprise they found the stone removed. 11. The Angel in the Tomb (v. 580) Jesus knew that these women would come to the sepulcher with perplexed and unbelieving hearts so he had an angel waiting there to in notice to them the fact of His resurrection. Note the angel's message: 1. "Be not afraid" (v. 6). 2. "Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified" (v. 6). This threefold designation with marvelous cleanliness shows (1) His humanity—Jesus. (2) Lowly residence—Nazareth. (3) Ignofficial death—crucified. 3. "He is risen; He is not here. Belichol the place where they laid him" (v. 0). These words throw light upon His birth, humility and shameful death. He who was born in lowly circumstances and suffered the shameful death on the cross, is now the conqueror of death. His resurrection gives meaning to His death. "If Christ be not risen your faith is vain, ye are yet in your sins" (1 Cor. 15:17). 4. "Go your way, tell His disciples and Peter" (v. 7). As soon as it was known that Christ was risen from the dead they were to tell it to the disciples. The disciples all needed this blessed news, but Peter especially, since He had utterly dended him. 5. "He goeth before you into Galllee, there shall ye see Hinn" (v. 7) Christ had told the disciples that He would rise from the dead and meet them in Galllee, but their unbelief kept them from this blessed truth III. The Appearances of the Risen Christ (vv. D-14). These appearances had as their object the restoration of the disciples from their awful failure and disourgement and convincing them without a peradventure of a doubt of Christ's resurrection. Since His resurrection was to be the central theme of apostolic preaching, it was necessary that they have a certainty of knowledge as to this matter (Acts 1:3). Without the resurrection of Christ His death would be meaningless. Out of the ten or more appearances, Mark selects three. 1. To Mary Magdalene (vv 9-11). Mary's heart responded to the Sailor who had graciously delivered her from demons. Her sufferings were no doubt terrible. She was first at the tomb; her devotion was amply rewarded by being first to meet the risen Lord. Though her faith was weak she went at once and told the story to the disciples. 2. To two disciples on the way to Emmaus (vv. 12, 13). Luke gives full particulars concerning this appearance (Luke 24:13 25). Jesus had walked, talked and eaten with them 3. The eleven disciples (v. 14) Christ appeared to them while sitting at meat and reproved them for their belief. The fact that they steadfastly resisted the testimony that Christ had risen, and yet afterward were willing to risk their lives in the proclamation of this truth proves the genuineness of their faith. IV. The Commission of the Risen Lord (v. 15-18). After the disciples were convinced of the truth of His resurrection, Christ sent them forth to "press the gospel to every creature." What a glorious and supreme task is it! What a blessed issue to those who believe and how awful to them that believeth not. "He that believeth and be baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned" (v. 10). V. The Activity of the Enthroned Christ (vv. 10, 20). After giving the disciples their commission He ascended on high and from the unseen sphere directed their activities. Wherever they went He confirmed their word. He does the same for His disciples today. Our Thoughts We should manage our thoughts as shepherds do their flowers in making a garland; first, select the choicest, and then dispose them in the most proper places, that every one may reflect a part of its color and brightness on the next.—Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Man is more blessed or less blessed in the same measure as he is aware of the presence of God—John Tauler B. Y. P. U. LESSON I.Y REV. J. W. HAYES SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 1928 Subject:—Living Always and Abundantly, Text, John 14:89-24. To learn how to live best and how to so live is the greatest possible achievement. Jesus came that we might have life and that we might have it more abundantly. How to live best is the goal of education. Life at its best is worth the price paid. Christ's stay among us was brief, but long enough to teach us the possibilities of a good life and the assurance of success through right conduct. He dwelt among men in a body. In the text He tells us that soon the world cannot look upon Him but His disciples may be conscious of His presents for He abides with them. We shall be wiser in the future than we are in the present. We shall better understand the mystic union between God and the Son, Christ and the believer. To know and keep His commandments are the badge of true discipleship. Love delights to please its object and is pained when it displeases its object of love. It is true, God loved us when we were enemies to Him, but we have the favor of His special love when we love Him sincerely. Further, Jesus will love us and make Himself known to us when we are true in our love to Him, for He makes Himself known to His children as He does not to the world. Jesus discovers Himself to those whom He can trust. He not only comes in and among His children, but makes His abode with us. Love makes obedience easy. Growth is a sign of life. Eternity will hang out that sign and life will become more abundant to the believer as we follow on to know. Sincere love is the panacea of all our ills. Love will find a way. An endless existence is the lot of us all, whether we are making music in heaven or discord in hell. The abundant life is not determined by what we possess or profess, but by what we are and by what possesses us. Love God truly and do as you please. The man who is free indeed is the man who loves God supremely and man sincerely. Such a man has no fear of law because love is the ruling passion of his soul. It is much better to be ruled by love than to be compelled by law. Why Should One Be a Christian? Because it costs too much not to be a Christian. Because to be a Christian is the highest and best possible life. Because it affords the best opportunity to serve and bless the world. Because heaven demands it. Because it is the sin of ingratitude not to be a Christian. Because there are only two sides and one must either be on the side of all that is good or on the side of all that is bad. Kans. Vocational School Miss Marion Carter was hostess to the Booklovers Club which met Monday night, March 12th, in the Domestic Science rooms.

The remaining numbers were: A paper, Miss Fannie Dixon; Vocal Solo, Mr. Jesse Freeman; paper, Miss Willie Smith; Mandolin Solo, Miss Clementine Richardson; paper, Miss Cleopatra Cropp; "Sextett from Lucia" a musical number by the senior quartet. Prof. and Mrs. Clement Richardson entertained the members of the senior class with a dinner, Thursday evening, March 14th. The Girl Reserve Club met at 11: 15, Tuesday morning, March 19th, Plans were made for a kodak hike, Saturday afternoon, but on account of a number of the members were ill, the hike was postponed until a later date. Each girl in school is reading, every morning, from a little booklet with Bible references, about Jesus Christ, His life and death and His living presence with us every day. Mrs. W. L. Wilkinson was a recent visitor at the Model School. The boys quartet, accompanied by Mrs. Zenola Reeves, the music director, and Miss Bertha Roberson, sang at Bethany College in Topeka, Monday morning, March 12th. Miss Roberson, gave several readings. One of the best features we have had this year from the literary department was a debate by the college students, which was held Friday night, March 16th. The subject of the debate was, "Resolved, that Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished." The judges decided in favor of the negative side; altho it was rather hard to make a decision as one side excelled in delivery and the other excelled in material or research work. The judges were Dean E. L. Scruggs, Mrs. Ida Richardson and Miss Maizie Jones. Miss Mildred Miller, Miss Zella Wheaton and Mr. Leon Burke composed the negative side; while Miss Dorothv Lewis, Miss Gladys Dabner and Miss Esther James, Aff.

A Trial Will Convince You. A PERSON cannot correct an error by giving the offended a gift, he must in his heart repent for the mistake and with his mouth confess his guilt and ask the offended to restore him as he once was. THE purity and integrity of the I church can only be saved in proportion that the church enter politics and demand thru prayers and honest votes, Christian leadership. A real Christian will see that the rights of his God is vindicated first, the world. Although it is against polities and rules of their church. Such teachers should be moved and the power of his office will be exercised to make a God-fearing people. The present system of government is rearing a generation of irreligious persons who regard not man nor God. Non-Christian teacher for five days in the week, handle the minds and character of the youth, teaching that your church is old-time and out of date, that the world is demanding you to enjoy yourself, teachers are programming young believers in Christ to dance, sing and act the life that will apppase the fancy of the only way this can be done is for the members of the church to carefully select leaders, who will fear God and keep His commandment. Parents, if you desire a future for your children you need to provide a more trustworthy leadership because the personality of leader and teacher is caught and you know we will have a generation of non-Christians and disregarders of church loyalty and reverence. SUNDAY will mark a time in annals of religious history, when the saints of God will celebrate the rising of a Saviour, which made their assurance more secure for a life beyond the grave. Programs of songs, pravers and sermons will fill the world with the truth of a risen Lord. This will be a very appropriate time to draw in salvation's net for believers in a Saviour who had power enough to pick up His life after He had laid it down, and picture without a doubt, there is a promised life of eternal bliss for all who will accept. Every division should mend their nets, draw in and see what the Holy Spirit has done with truths they have sown in the hearts of the unsaved. Be earnest, be reverent, be sincere and be Holy in your purpose and the results will be sure. LOCAL NEWS EASTER AT ST. PAUL A. M. E. Easter will be observed at St. Paul A. M. E.
