THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 21, No. 6, AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC It is indeed gratifying to realize that after more than twenty-three years of hard struggles, self-denial and sacrifice, many obstacles to be overcome, that we are now beginning to be rewarded and to enjoy some of the many things, that we have long desired and prayed for, but we so much needed. The Florence Crittenton Mission work (colored) has been established in the city of Topeka, for 23 years, and now is doing a great and wonderful work for unfortunate women and girls. The Home, not only gives care, food and shelter to the unmarried mother, but to all unfortunate women and girls, who are in need and distress. The Home is non-sectarian and is under management in a Board of Directors consisting of twelve Christian their and women are giving their untiring service and interest to this great and noble cause. They are loyal and true to their obligations. Religious services are held regularly in the Home each morning before the breakfast hour; a weekly prayer service and services twice on Sunday. The girls are carefully taught and trained in Bible study, and much good has been accomplished, having been blessed with two conversions last year. In an inquiry conference with the girls very recently by the President, the girls expressed themselves as being greatly benefitted by the training given them, and said they had learned more about the Scripture and had a better understanding of it than they had ever had before. They are given training in domestic science, art work and many other helpful subjects; among them, to a knowledge to a better know and understand themselves, and to be better prepared to cope with the many problems that will confront them in their future life. God in His infinite love and mercy has so wonderfully blessed the Home in raising up friends who have contributed so liberally to the remodeling, fund, making it possible to have a laundry installed in a cemented basement, a nice spacious back porch for the health and comfort of the inmates, the house freshly painted, an automatic hot water tank and other things so much needed for use in the Home. We feel very much honored in having received from, National Headquarters the report of the Honor holl for service rendered for 20 years or more by workers in the Crittenton Home Work, to find in the list the names of two of our own Board Members and the only colored in the list of Honor. Workers in persons of Mrs. Sarah F. Malone, President and Founder of this Mission, 931 College Ave., and Mrs. Ella Guy, wife of Atty. James H. Guy, who are charter members of the local Home Board, and still are active and are working as zealously as when they first began 23 years ago. In this reward of Honor for service, is the Scripture fulfilled in the words of our Lord and Master in that He said:—"The race is not given to the swift, neither to the strong but to him that holds out unto the end." Therefore, it pays to hold out to the end. As we have yet much to be accomplished in the way of needed equipment, we are making a universal appeal to who will help us raise One Thousand Dollars ($1000.00) by each and everyone; giving One Dollar ($1.00) or more if you feel that much interested in our good and great work for our fellow man. Christ said in his blessed word: "That in as much as ye have done it unto me, and we canbest serve our Lord and Savior by serving our unfortunate brother or sister, and truly this is the work of the Master as he also has said: He came not to call the righteous but to save that which was lost.

Mrs. Elizabeth Bailey, Salsbury, Missouri, DEAR MOTHER: Three score and three years have pause, since you made your advent to the world. How proud you must feel, mother, that you have lived long and well—years of a life common to wife and mother-hood and a knowledge of your high office in the world, As I grow old in the wisdom of the years, I shudder, mother, to think what unmurmured agonies must have been yours; and yet there comes to my heart a tigh of relief, when I know that you still bear life's keen disappointments and heart- breaking turdens, light like a mantle What manner of woman is this, whose burden is oftimes heavy but whose heart is light? Were it not for the companion of your youth and your hope of the eternal tomorrow, I would of necessity be compelled to exclaim, what price glory for the living! But your fate, mother, is but the common fate for all. We stand exultant in our triumphs of a moment, trembling with holy emotion, not unlike a leaf, tied to life but by a single breath—and then comes the inalterable reverse of fortune, and we live our moments over again in a castle of forgotten splendor, upon whose floor is scattered the dust of dead unconscious dreams and upon whose walls hang beautiful but faded pictures of shattered hopes. Mother, this is life! Forget if you can, mother, the bitter yet sweetly sad sorrow of your white carnation--forget if you can, the loss of a father and the infant son snatched prematurely from your bosom and only know that the tears which fall thick and fast around you, will surely cast the glory of their rainbow against the cloudless sky of "The Perfect Day." Thank God for you, Mother-Thank God for the wrims of my carnation! Meet a fortunately yours! Most affectionately yours, William Edgar Bailey WILLIAM EDGAR BAILEY, 612 Parallel Ave. Kansas City, Kans.

When Christ was getting ready for this great work, He said to His Father: "Prepare Me a Body and I will go. be a light for those who are sitting in the dark regions and shadows of death. We need to make an open confession as Isaiah did: "Woe is mel For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips. Then flew one of the Serphims having a live coal in his hand which he had taken with the tongs from off the alter. And touched his hips and Said: thine iniquity is taken away and thy sins purged. Then he heard a still small voice of the Lord saying: whom shall I send and who will go for us? Then said Isaiah: Here am I send me." That still small voice is calling to every Christian young and old, to this great Mission Field of labor to do all we can at home and abroad. The Need to Foreign Missionaries there to take the Gospel light. We need to support the missionaries while there. We need to cloth the naked natives and feed the starving ones.

Jordan, former Secretary of our Foreign Mission Board for 20 odd years, who made trips to various sections in Africa in the interest of the Mission Field. We have missionaries of our Convention alone in Liberia, Church Buildings, School Building, Hospitals Sanitariums, Industrial Plants and Board nr Schools.

Davs. This practical direction of conduct should also be closely followed by colored citizens throughout the Nation. We have so many important things to do, in order to advance our economic and cultural status, that to allow ourselves to be diverted by ignorant and prejudicial detractors is an inexcusable folly. the over-indulgence of which will seriously retard our progress.

AN APPEAL THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD BY REV, P. D. SKINNER. 507 Spring St. Coffeyville, Kansas DEAR BRETHREN of the State Convention:—This appeal comes to you of my illness. Eight weeks ago, while I was struggling for a big evangelistic campaign in Topeka, I was reized by an awful attack of Diabetes. I fell at my post of duty, since then, I have been stretched on my bed; for six weeks, I've not been able to even walk across the room. It has been a fight, almost to death, and I am appealing to you, who are willing Hearted, as state evangelist, to send me a contribution to help me in my struggle. A number of brethren have already come to my rescue; some with liberal contributions, such as Rev. Smith of Fort Scott; Rev. Burton, Pastor of 2nd Baptist Church, North Topeka; Rev. Lockett, of Mt. Carmel, Topeka; Rev. Thomas, Cherryvale; Rev. C. Teal, Independence; Rev. Gardner of Parsons; Rev. T. T. Addison, Sardis, Coffeyville; Rev. S. A. Williams of Calvary Coffeyville. My pastor and his people have been liberal contributors to my support. Rev. R. A. Cartwright of Little Flock, Chetopa; Rev. A. L. Branch, of Antioch, Topeka. These and others, I may have overlooked, have my deepest expressions of gratitude. Pray that God may let me get upon my feet if it is His will. I feel wholly grateful to all who have offered petitions to God for me.. I am your evangelist and brother, P. D. SKINNER Address all communications to Rev. P. D.

MOTHERS Some proudly wear cernations white For mothers passed away. While others wear them crimson bright, For those who live today. And thereby fitting honors give To mothers dead, and those who live. Commendable it is to wear These flowers, white and red, For living mothers, crimson, fair, And white for mothers dead, For this is least that one can do To honor mothers, loyal, true. But, wearing flowers we should know Is but a feeble sign gratitude, such as we owe To mothers your and mine, And wearing flowers cannot prove Full recompense for priceless love. Then it were well to bear in mind That loving word and deed, Counts more than flowers of any kind, With hearts that often bleed, And wearing flowers can't atone For lack of love and kindness shown. Then let us not forget that they For whom we wear the red, Must take their silent place, some day. With mothers who are dead; And let us make a solemn vow, To give them flowers of kindness, NOW! - R.

We are still moving on with great pro- gress after the Hill-top Race. The attendance is increasing. At 11 a. m. Pastor Branch preac- cled a great sermon from the Theme, "Providence and Redemption."

ADAMS The greatest privileges, greatest opportunities, greatest obligations, and the greatest responsibilities known to humanity are those that concern themselves with motherhood. Motherhood is not a choice but a duty, an inescapable duty, because, it is God's only plan for the perpetuation of the human race on earth. It was after God had made woman that He gave to the human pair the admonition, "Multiply and fill the earth," for this was possible only after He had made woman. In this God at once proclaimed and emphasized the duties and the indispensability of motherhood. Motherhood is a privilege as well as a duty, and one that every woman should appreciate. Some one affirms that God chose a woman to "Help Him fashion an immortal soul. Another speaks of "Motherhood; a partnership with God." A beautiful saying is: "God could not...everywhere, so He gave us mothers." Now, since motherhood is committed to womanhood, what a privilege it is to be thus associated with God in this work upon which the life of humanity depends. But motherhood has its responsibilities as well its duties and privileges. Or "Mothers' Day," thousands of speakers will exalt motherhood; its virtues will be extolled, its importance will be magnified and its achievements lauded. In these addresses infinitely more will be said concerning the privilege and the honor than of the responsibility of motherhood. The responsibilities and obligations of motherhood but begin with the birth of the child, for to motherhood is committee very largely the training of the child. And, on the faithful performance of that duty will depend the usefulness and the helpfulness of the life of the child committee to her care. When Moses was rescued from the Nile and his own mother called to nurse him, the daughter of Pharaoh said to her, "Take this child and train for me and I shall pay these ample wages." This was important because Moses had become the son of a princess; he was to dwell in the palace of the king, sit at the table of the king, associate with those of the royal household, go on errands for the king, and, perhaps, to represent the king; therefore the responsibility was no small one. So every child committed to a mother is to be trained by her for the service of the Greatest of all Kings; he is to go on missions for the King, at times to represent the King, and finally sit in the presence of the Eternal King: and for this reason, it is this King who requires that motherhood do its duty in training children for His service. As the millions of mothers of the world at listening to the eulogies wail to mothers, on "Mothers' Day," they would do well to enter into self-examination, consider their own conduct and weigh their own actions, to determine whether or not they are meeting their obligations—THE OBLIGATIONS OF MOTHERHOOD—in a way that will be creditable to them and as will receive Divine approval. tor Lockett and congregation. Service was wonderful. 6:30 B. Y. P. U., called to order by President D. Dukes. The Union was largely attended. Old Reliable Group rendered the program; which was excellent. Pres.

Abbott brought to a large audience, a splendid sermon. This was the 3rd sermon preached by Rev. Abbott, since coming into the ministry; just a few weeks ago, he preached his 1st sermon. This was very much enjoyed by hearers. Monday evening at 7:30, the Busy Bue Club will meet at the home of Mrs. II.

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 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 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 me $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 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, W. A. BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W. ROSS, Executive Sec'y, and Sunt. of Missions. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular? Churches P.
