Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 21, No. 3, This week's mental "Explosion" shall deal with personality, sincerity and ability. What is Personality? Webster defines it as "that which constitutes or pertains to a person" and I glean from that definition that you, youself are your own personality. As business men, professional men and leaders, personality is absolutely essential to your success. Upon your personality depends the impression that you will make, on those with whom you come in contact. The impression made will influence their desire to have professional or business dealings with you. It is personality that closes a salesman's contract; it makes one a good or a bad actor; it sways juries and even inspires love. I believe it was Bradstreet, the commercial authority that said, business success or failure, is largely a personal matter. Yet, it is true that incompetence, inexperience, and insufficient capital, are responsible for a large percentage of failure, but a lack of personality is one of the most noticeable elements. Too many of the laity have failed to realize that the practice of medicine and surgery is a business as well as a profession, and that dollars and cents are as necessary to its pursuit as they are to the operation of a drug or grocery store. In every business salesmanship is requisite. But, in the practice of medicine, it is considered inethical to shout your wares; but must depend on personality as well as good work advertising you. Therefore, personality is one of the doctor's chief assets, if he wishes to succeed. Again, personality is not a fixed thing, born with us and beyond the reach of our control. It is the reflection of one's character and grows as we grow, develops as we develop. One writer said, "Your personality is composed of your body and all the ideas you have in your mind. Three great factors influence your personality—your knowledge of, your interest in, and your attitude toward the world." I believe that everything, that you have experienced since your birth has made some impression on your mind and every change brought about by experience has altered your trend of thought. As this thought develops, your-personality develops with you, hence a strong mind develops a strong personality. According to the Scripture, "As a man thinketh, so is he." Then as he is, so is his personality. It is hard to hide your real self from the world. Your personality acts as a mirror and reflects, with cruel faithfulness, your true character. You may try to disguise yourself but you fail. Your personality must, either, attract or repel. Do not confound temperament might be termed a permanent fixture. You are born, with it; it is a heritage. But personality must be developed and by constant, watching and thought you acquire something that will prove to be a valuable asset. Sincerity, says Carlyle, is a deep, genuine sincerity, is the first characteristic of all men in any way heroic. Let us suppose that as workers or herd in-Wichita, we could convince boosters for a hospital for our group here in Wichita, we could convince the thinking people of our absolute sincerity; what a hold we would have upon them, an easy matter it would be: Much of the Theodore Roosevelt's political success was due undoubtedly to the fact that he had the general confidence of his constituents, that his personality impressed the observer as being entirely frank and sincere. As professional men you have devoted many years of hard and conscientious study to the mastery of your profession. You are well supplied with technical requirements for a successful physician and surgeon. But if you fail to secure a place to rightfully demonstrate your ability, the people in the community in which you are active, will not trust you, your wisdom will be useless and you must struggle along in a limited field doomed to what I call a failure. History has taught me that every successful man's outstanding characteristic was sincerity. Before you approach others with sincerity, you must be sincerely yourself. You must believe in your profession and search for the good even in those whom you consider bad. Did it ever dawn upon you that the inincerne man lives a life of lies, and that no lie can long remain undetected? You may be able to get along quite well for a time by living a life of lies, but after a while your disguise will be pulled back and all that you will have acquired is the contempt of your community. In the end, you will be krown for what you really are. The dishonesty of your purpose and your false claim of superior ability will become known and you will be exposed in your real mental and moral nakedness. Ability masked or unused is worse than no ability at all. Do you remember reading in the Scriptures, the parable of the talents? They are to be used and multiplied. As medical men let not your talents rust—A THINKER. (See next issue) MEMPHIS. TENN.

A. NOTES The Annual Election of the, Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., was held Monday, April 16, at the building. Last year the employed officers of the Y. M. C. A, moved their conference from West Badon Springs, Indiana, to Chicago, because the hotels in the Hoosier State refused accommodations to colored men. The City-General, Securities Association has just moved their bi-enial meeting from Toronto, Canada, to Pocoma Manor, Penn., for the same reason. Lester Foul, Herbert and Wilber King went with the Track Team from Wichita University to Emporia. They all placed in the meet. Herbert King took the Century Dash, Sterling Owens, a student at K. U. spent a few hours in the city, last CONGRESS R. R. CERTIFICATES READY Railroad identification certificates for the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are now ready for distribution. Messengers are again reminded that they cannot get the benefit of the reduced rates unless they present one of these certificates to their LOCAL TICKET AGENT when they go to purchase their tickets. In towns and cities where there are four or five churches or more, it is essential that one person be designated to order certificates for all the messengers. Etorefoe, we have had several different people ordering certificates from the same city: this causes us to furnish some cities a greater number of certificates than they really needed. We desire every person to have a certificate who is entitled to one, but it is too expensive to print certificates to supply an unnecessary demand. Send applications for railroad identification certificates to the Congress Headquarters 409 Gay Street, "Nashville, Tennessee." E. W. D. ISAAC, Director General. FALLEN ASLEEP 'Rev. Henderson is deal. Funeral Thursday; want you to assist in the funeral.'—Mrs. G. P. Henderson. The above telegram was received Sunday, April 8, which tells its own sad story. Later a letter came asking that I come and take charge of the arrangements, as soon as possible. The letter was compiled with. 'Rev G. P. Henderson was the oldest pastor in point of service in the district,' having pastored the Ebenezer Baptist Church for 21 years. He was a faithful minister of Jesus Christ and died at his post of duty. Rev. C. E. Woods' preached the funeral, assisted by Rev. J. W. Hayes, M. S. Jones and the writer.

RESOLUTION We the members of the Ehenezer Baptist Church, desire to express our heart-felt sympathy in the removal of our beloved pastor, Rev. G* P. Henderson, who served us faithfully for 21 years; our loss is heven's gain. Hence, we bow to the behest of Almighty God, who doeth all things well. For the past year his affliction, has been of such that he could not be with us very often yet we have met and carried on the work through prayer and song. About 2 weeks before his death he held his last service upon his sick bed, in this imaginary service, he called upon the members to sing and pray as in a real service. In his death, the church has lost a faithful pastor, the wife devoted husband the community a loyal citizen. He fought a good fight he finished his course, he kept the faith. I resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be given to the family and also sored upon the face of the minutes of the church. Done by order of the Ebenczer Baptist Church. Deacon, Bro.

C., April 20 (PNS)—At each turn" of the road, some honest minded American has the courage of his convictions to endeavor to do something. to erase one of this country's vilest blits off its reputation map. The latest effort to make America safe, for democracy is a new anti-lynching bill which would make it a felony, to take part in a mob attack or for a state officer to permit a prisoner to be taken from him, was introduced in the House of Representatives Thursday by Representative Victor Begger, of Wisconsin. The measure would also penalize the county in which the mob attack occurred. Participation in a' mob attack, would be punishable by imprisonment from one to five years or a fine of $5,000 or both. An officer who failed to protect a prisoner could be punished by imprisonment of from 2 to 10 years' or a fine of not more than $10,000, or both. A county in which a homicide or injury was committed as the result of such an attack would be penalized $10,000, with the sum to be used by the person injured or by his family should he be killed in the attack. To enforce payment of the judgment against the county, the United States District Court would levy execution upon any of the county's property or 'take such other steps as may be deemed necessary and proper.' It is claimed that when this measure comes up before the Houes it will be attacked chiefly upon the grounds that it is an enhoachmene of the theory of state's rights. Friends of the measure claim that it has teeth and while it may appear to be stepping on the police power of the state, it may serve as an impetus to whatever notions various legislators have on the matere and ultimately result in the enactment of this measure by various states.

KITZWATER DU, Ivan Bloody Bible Institute of Chicago 10. 1928 Western Revue of Union Lesson for April 22 LESSON TEXT—Mark 10 1-16 GOLDEN TEXT—Honor thy father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Loves Little Children. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Wants Children to Come to Him. In this scripture we see Christ as a teacher. I. Concerning Marriage (vv. 112) The question touching divorce, which the Pharisees temptingly put to Christ, brought forth teaching which exhibits marriage in its true light 1. Marriage should not be degraded by divorce (vv. 1-5). Divorce was not instituted by God. God ordained the marriage relation and intended it to be indissoluble. Moses did not originate it or authorize it, but suffered, limited and regulated it. The reason Moses even suffered it was because of the hardness of the hearts of the people. The existence there fore and practice of divorce indicates the coarseness and perverseness of man. The real cause is sin. There is no more real evidence of the illighting effects of sin in the world than the increasing number of divorces. 2. Marriage God's primal law (vv. 6-9). The ideal law of life for the subjects of Christ's kingdom is marriage. This is proven by the fundamental fact of sex. "God made them male and female" (v. 6). The union of the male and female natures is physical, mental and spiritual. In marriage the male and female natures are mutually complemented "They twain shall be one flesh, so that they are no more twain, but one flesh." God's plan is that man should not be without the woman or the woman without the man (I Cor. 11:11). 3. Marriage has God's anction (v. 3. Marriage has God's sanction (v. 10). When God created Eve and brought her to Adam he performed the first marriage ceremony and declared that man should leave father and mother and cleave unto his wife. "What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." 4. Marriage of the divorced forbid den (v. 10-12). The marriage relation should only be broken by death and sin. In response to the request of the dioceses for further information he deferred: (1) "Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another committeeth adultery against her." (2) "If a woman shall put away her husband and marry another she committeth adultery." II. Concerning Children (vv. 13-16) The union of the male and female matures, according to God's primal law of marriage, lays the foundation of family life. The normal issue of such a union is children. In connection with the divine law of marriage it is fitting that Jesus should set forth His estimate of children and show His interest in them. Christian men and women will regard children as the property of the Lord and will esteem it a high and holy privilege to train them for Him. Observe: I. Children brought for the touch of Jesus (v. 13). It is incumbent upon all parents to seek for their children personal contact with Jesus. 2. The parents rebuked by the disciples for bringing their children (v. 13). They seemed to think that attention to children was beneath the dignity of Christ. 3. Jesus' reply (vv. 14, 15) He was displeased—really indignant at their words. He is displeased today over those who are hindering their children from coming to film. (1) "Suffer the little children to come unto Me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of thee" (v. 14). The kingdom belongs to the children. (2) "Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter therein" (v. 13) Those who count themselves morally helpless, and cast themselves upon Jesus Christ, the King, really enter the kingdom. 4. Jesus' action (v. 16). He took the children up in the arms, put His hands upon them and blessed them. Christ is the Savior of children. Where Christ's spirit rules, childhood is sacred and children have great care. God Is at the Door God is knocking at the door of nations today for more recognition and more spiritual power. And the fact is that lie is on the outside. When nations spurn this knock from the hand of the Almighty, it is a sure thing that they will crumble into the dust.—Oscar Burkholder. Need of Faith Draw nigh to God and lie will draw nigh to you. Act faith if you do not feel it.-Alexander Whyte. B. Y. P. U. LESSON LY REV. J. W. HAYES SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 1928. SUBJECT: "Should a New Christian Join the Church." Text, Acts 2:37-47 "They that glady received His word, were baptized; and the same day, there were added unto them about three thousand souls." "Praising God and having favor with all the people." "And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." These passages show the practice of the Christians of the first century. Conversion was followed by baptism and the church membership. The Apostolic order was regeneration, organization and co-operation. Saved, united, working together Such a union was denominated, "church" meaning a local body of believers baptized, united in covenant and ruled from above. Through such an institution God is working to reconcile the world unto Himself through His Son. Each Christian is a co-laborer with God. Seperation In Christian activities is not in keeping with the original plan. No soldier would go out to win a battle alone. Fighting men enlist, organize, drill together and then fight as one. Bricks are not made to lay alone but by being laid together, buildings are constructed. So the church of God is constructed of many Christians, each filling his praticular place in the eternal structure. The Christians should join the church, therefore, because it is the only organization for the salvation of the world. By this he casts his influence with the only institution whose supreme business is to honor God. The church is the only body on earth that has a message for the world. It is the only institution in which Christian character alone is the condition of real membership. The church is the mother of the redeemed and to fail to join it as its child, is to fail to honor mother, this is the greatest sin of ingratitude. The organization known as the church, is the Bride of the Lamb. "Come and I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's Wife." One becomes a Christian through Christ, and when we pray our blessings are granted through Him. To honor the Lamb, you must honor His Bride. What wise man would ask or expect a favor from a man if at the same time he slandered, dishonored and wronged the man's wife? The new Christian should join the church because it is God's Family, and without union with it one misses the family protection. Think of the children who are reared without the family care. NEW HOPE LAUNCHES, 'COME TO CHURCH' CAMPAIGN. Tuesday evening at 6:30, the leaders of the several departments and the workers of the New Hope Baptist Church met in a supper meeting in the Dining Room. with the pastor, Rev. B. L. Marchant as host. Out of the 60 that were asked to be present only 8 were absent because of circumstances over which they had no control. Definite plans were given for the prosecution of a vigorous "Come to Church" Campaign, beginning, Sunday, April 22, and closing Sunday, June 3rd. Two Bibles are to be given: One to the adult members and the other to a young member who succeeds in getting the largest number of people present, the largest number of times during the campaign. A committee is in charge of the contest, with Mrs. I. F. Bates, chairman. The workers and members are very enthusiastic about the campaign. Marvel, Arkansas Just a few words from Marvell, to let the Kansas brethren know how Rev, Jas, Moore of Nicodemus, Kans, is getting along after a long illness. He feels much improved and inclosed is a copy of a sermon he preached for us at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, Wednesday night, April 4, 1928 from Matt. 19:29; subject: "The Material and Spiritual Benefits of Christianity." The only thing that would seem strange to you, would be to call your attention to the material side of religion. The question of the world today is, "Does Religion Pay in This Life or is There no Material Benefits in Religion?" It has been the sentiment of the geneal public that Christianity pays only in the life to come, and that religion is something to die with, and not to live with. There are many reasons for this error: 1. Because public sentiment is against the material side of religion. 2. It pays in Governmental Affairs. 3. It pays in the Protection of a Natural Body. 4. It pays, because by it Men become to know God. 5. It pays in the Experience of Grace. III.—Characteristical Events. 1. It pays in trouble: (Hezekiah, Daniel and Peter.) 2. It pays in sickness. (Job) 3. It pays in death (David, Stephens and Paul.) IV.—Spiritual Benefits Life Eternal. CONCLUSION Get on God's Pay Roll. REV. M. A. SCRUGGS, Pastor.

Eugene Horton, Program Committee, Edna Wilson, Treasurer. Prof. E. G. Morrison, wife and lit- tle non, Jr, spent the week-end in Bartlesville, Okla., visiting relatives and friends. Little Flock Baptist Church was organized in 1882 and ts one of the olgest churches in the S, E. District, The first session of the Association, was held in this church. The charch was organized in @ hall, and called the Rev. R, A. Cartwright as its pas- tor, This was his first-charge and he built the first church building, in- to which they went, out of the hall. This church figures prominently in the history of the Southeastern Dis- trict Association. It has had some of the oldest preachers as pastors, whose work, together with the his- tory of the church, will be mention- ed more extensively. At prsent, we wish to announce, that we are still making history. We have called Rev. Rt. A. Cartwright as our pastor, for which we feel it as a compliment, both to the congrega- tion and to him. We regard it a fine thing and a very unusual thing to call back 5 PS who baptized our mothers and fathers, and married and buried many of them and now comes to pastor their children. It goes without saying that we have implicit confidence in him and we predict for the church, great success ,under his leadership. Pray for us, There was an offering of $1.00 ta- ken up Sunday for a former pastor of the Little Flock Baptist Church, the Rev. P, D, Skinner, who Ss ill at his home in Coffeyville, Kansas, Prof, Elodia G.

Missionary Baptist - State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at 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 adoped the more modern pea for carrying fore ward our Missionary and Educatione al work (both Home and Foreign} and in fact for earrying forward a our Convention obligations. Our plan calls for $10,000 annual- ly. The plan adopted at the Conven- ton was that $6,700.00 be apportion- ed, Suertly to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Con- ventions of the State and District Associations and Auxiliaries, ‘The amount apportioned to the Churches to be paid monthly of quarterly to the State office, the monthly or quarterly plan prefera- able 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 45 churches give $2.00 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention §35000 to meet her regular monthly obligations and money to apply on Nationa] Conven- tion requirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Of- ficers give this your hearty support? ‘The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please ead this fetter to the Church and lad them forth in this much needed and butiness-hke plan for our Con- vention. Thie plan was. presented to the Ministers at the last Board Meetings and the~amount for each of t 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, be- ginning this month, Please pray fo. 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 pos- sible if we only trust Him, This adopted at our State Con- vention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927, . ¥ With much prayer and supplica- tion we are wat rospectiully, W. A.
