Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE A. H. Rev. Conwell, is the present pastor of the St. Marks M. E. Church, at 1014 E. 11th St., at which church a great soul-saving campaign is in session now, with the Gospel Giant, Dr. Oville of Kansas City, putting the way and plans of salvation plainly before both saints and sinners. The meeting was pitched in a nice large tent, but because of the unceasing rainfall, were forced to move into the church. They do not have as much room, but the valuable information is given each evening to very appreciative audiences. Rev. Conwell is a staunch, sincere soldier in the cause, ever at the post where the most good can be done in service. So exemplary is his Christian life, that it is readily seen thro' his entire family down to the youngest child in the family; this of itself is worthy of mention. The service continues until Monday night, closing with a banquet to which the public is invited and urged to respond. (Columbia Press Service) (Columbia Press Service) WASHINGTON, June 15—Wesley Foster, of Wenatchee, Wash., broke the, world's record for 175 yards in 16.6 seconds at the Pullman athletic meeting last Friday afternoon. The former record, held by Charles Padock, world's 100-yard champion, was 17.4 seconds. Foster's record was made in the dual track meet between Washington State, the Negro "flash" was clogged at the 175-yard mark. Getting off to a perfect start, he led the field easily all the way to the finish. Although Foster was declared not to have been favored by the wind or other conditions, fears were expressed that his mark might not be recognized, due to the absence of an official of the Amateur Athletic Union. At the same meet, Foster also won the 100-yard dash. HAMPTON BOY SCOUT COURSES (Columbia Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, June 15—One of the unique and popular courses among those at the Teachers' Summer School, at Hampton Institute, Va., is that given by Stanley A. Harris, director of interacial activities of the Boy Scouts of America. Mr. Harris has been connected with the Boy Scout movement since its inception nineteen years ago in Great Britain. The course last year reached its limit of thirty students and it is expected that the course again this summer will be equally attractive. The rapid development of the boy scout movement throughout the South has disclosed the need for trained leadership and it is felt that the movement cannot develop faster than its leadership. It is toward the building up of leadership to direct the work in the critical beginnings of the program that the courses at Hampton have been included. WATCH TOWER NOTES WTN "The American legio as a member of the human family is not unlike other people, so far as he is affected by the divine purpose. His history in America is as providential as it is eventful. He is a part of a great whole, an element in a potential system." —W. Bishop Johnson, D. D. LL. D. Editor, The National Baptist magazine, 1896. Next week is Congress week and young Baptists, the leaders in all Baptist affairs of tomorrow, will be seen at their best. At the feet of the Gamalial at the Congress, with note book and pencil, they will add to their ability to succeed their fathers and mothers in leadership of Baptist affairs. Let us, who stay at home, pray for the Congress. It was Joseph who asked when his people came into their own land, and got down to business that they take his bones with them—0, how with intrepid steps Michael Vann, Emanuel K. Love, Charles T. Walker, Rufus L. Perry, and an army of hard working, faithful preachers, now among our salted dead, could they return, would visit our Foreign Mission rooms in Philadelphia, our great Publishing Plant, and other Baptist interests, we have gathered in Nashville and elsewhere and rejoice with joy unspeagable. Their names inscribed in bronze on the walls of the spacious corridors in the Publishing House will be only a small sign of our remembrance of the service they have rendered us. But it will cause men to think more highly of our sense of appreciation for the religious leaders of yesterday. Let's have it done. WTN The training School Trustees met on the 5th inst and held a very profitable session. The Trades' Building for which the President has prayed and worked for 20 years, a splend'd brick structure, 60x90 is nearing completion and will be dedicated early in October. While it is only two stories high, foundation and walls are sufficient to carry any number of stories. For the lack of $15,000 the building is topped out for the present. Adequate class rooms for carrying on the work of the school have been one of the greatest needs since the origin. The building is fire-proof out and out, and adds beauty to the well kept grounds. All frame buildings are kept in good repair and painted. The splendid type of girls on the "Hill" for willingness to make the school one of the most useful on earth "and to know" is not one whit behind their sisters who have gone out year after year, some of whom are at work in missionary and human betterment work in Africa, the Isles of the Sea and at home. But, to equip these class rooms will cost $3,000 —desks alone are $1,00 each. Write Miss Burroughs how many you or your church will give. Vours in His service L. G. JORDAN, Gen. Missionary.

Sharp rock screenings are mixed with thick asphaltic oil, and heavily rolled into the existing paving, with clean, dry screenings loose on top. This makes a surface on which wheel slippage is practically impossible, but which is safe for rubber under all conditions. Thousands of miles old roads are being remade and widened in this manner into perfect modern highways. Caller—Say Mister Editor, kin you give my boy Ephelaim a job? Editor—What can he do?

CITIZENS' MILITARY TRAINING CAMPS (Columbia Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, June 15-Application to Citizen's Military Training Camps to date exceed those of this time last year by 10,000, the War Department announced recently. Investigation reveals the fact that a large number of young colored men have applied, principally from the District of Columbia, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. As stated in circular issued by the Third Corps Area, U. S. Army, the object of these Training Camps is to bring together, annually, for a month's training, the best representative young American Citizens from all sections of the nation; to give them the basis of military instruction and that physical and moral development that will fit them to become influential leaders in their respective communities in times of peace and leaders for national defense in time of war; to inculcate a stronger patriotism and wholesome respect for discipline and obedience to constituted authority; above all, to teach the young men of this generation their serious duties, responsibilities, and obligations to home and to country.

SPOSING·IT WUZ A RATTLER SNAKE N.Y. 326 REMAKING OLD ROADS Interracial News Bureau There is a great deal more to the Muscle Shoals situation than weather or not the government is going to manufacture fertilizer and electricity. It means the establishment of a definite policy: Either American private initiative is to carry on, as it has in the past, or we are to embark on a period of paternalism, with industry publicly owned. As President Coolidge, a staunch advocate of private endeavor, has said: "Whenever the government enters into any field of industry it must occupy it alone. There is no room for competition." The fertilizer industry, with government ownership at Muscle Shoals, would have to face unmeetable and unethical competition that would eventually put it out of business. The rights of the individual seem to have been unconsidered. This is paternalism and special privilege of the most helnous sort. It is up to the people to decide whether they wish to see socialistic principles established or our constitutional ideals maintained. WISE PEOPLE WILL REGISTER AND BE PREPARED TO VOTE --'OTHER WISE' PEOPLE WILL REGRET WHEN TOO LATE. INTERESTING HISTORY WASHINGTON, June 15—There is ever unfolding to our view facts which link the Negro to important events in early American history. The one hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the Chessapeake and Ohio canal was celebrated in this city, on June 2, when publicity was given to the fact that the daughter of the 18-year old colored girl, who piloted the boat in which President John Quincy Adams rode to the ceremonies which marked the beginning of the canal route, a century ago, now lives in a suburb of the Nation's Capital. Her name is Mary Moton, 73 years old, and she is the mother of a large family. Her mother met and was courted by her father Thomas Harris, while she rode on her father's canal boat; and many times has the story of the famous Presidential ride and the turning of the soil with a golden spade, been told to members of her family. The canal boat which Mary Moten's grandfather commanded was used on the old canal built by George Washington on the Virginia side. THOUGHT LYNCHED, LATER RETURNED ALIVE AND WELL THOUGHT LYNCHED, LATER RETURNED ALIVE AND WELL TAKEN FROM GEORGIA JAIL BY MOB ON MAY 14, BUT RELEASED PRACTICALLY UNHURT.. MYSTERY CLEAED UP (Cam. on Interracial Co-op) ATLANTA, GA., June 8—Georgia's record for 1928 is still clear of lynching, according to a statement from the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, after looking thoroughly into the adduction from jail and supposed lynching of Henry Hood at Gainesville, Ga., on the night of May 14th. A careful investigation of the case just made by a representative of the Commission revealed the fact that Hood was not lynched nor even severely handled, but was released by the mob, later returned unhurt to his home in Gainesville for a brief visit, and then left for a distant city. One element of the mob, Hood reported, desired to handle him roughly, but another insisted upon his release and finally prevailed. This information, picked up fragmentary form from varisus sourcez, was fully affirmed by the fugitive's mother. Hood, who was confined in the city fall after an altercation with a white man, was taken from the lock-up at 2 o'clock in the morning while all membess of thenight police force were absent on their beats. As a result, the night chief of police, who was held responsible for his safekeeping, has been dismissed by the city manager on the charge of inefficiency. Members of the city government and leading citizens deplore the incident deeply and expressed relief when it became definitely known that Hood was alive. INVITINING THE FIRST CRIME INVITINING THE FIRST CRIME Interracial News Bureau The ideal that prompts agitation for restriction of the sale of pistols and revolvers, is probably praiseworthy. But when anyone can in a few minutes convert a shotgun or rifle into a pistol, it seems, certain Five Cents Per Copy 'A FATHER'S DAY LETTER' Mr. Charles Edward Bailey, Sallsbury, Chariton County, Mo. Dear Father:— I have come to the end of astrenuus day, tired but happy, because I feel a conscious nearness of your spirit which hovers about me like a solemn benediction. Tonight my eyes are heavy, weary with their sordid, but manly task—my limbs are tardy to function—my brow is drenched and my garments musty with the price of honest toll; this, the first lesson of toll you taught me, it shall be the last to forget. I was frail as a youth, but I ate your bread and lived, till the years of wisdom came I am still frail of body, but granite in endurance. Tonight, I shall lay me down, weary yet thankful, upon my honest couch—and when the clarion voice of duty stirs the silence of to-morrow, may I awake to trudge doggedly on, because you taught me, at the end of the path of labor would be found the cup of contentment, and out of it were the issues of life. Whatever the world may think of fatherhood, it is my contention that father has his virtues no less renowned than mother. Years have passed, still I hear the far away echo of your voice chiming in with the lullaby of mother as she cradled me in her arms and crooned me gently to the shadowy shores of the sand man. When the shadow of misfortune fell heavy like a pall upon the hearth-stone and mother wept bitterly, as only a woman can-out of sympathy akin to heaven, I still see the big drops of liquid sorrow standing in your eyes, glistening as if sanctified by the touch of mid-summer night dreams. Surely he who forged the mould of one, tempered the spirit of the other. Father, I watch with more than passing interest, as you trek to the close of your eventful life; I've seen the raven black of your hair bleach soft and white like driven snow—without doubt the unrelenting finger of time is marking you for the harvest, and I in turn must follow next. Rest you assured, father, when the flesh is stricken and your cane beats its rapid tatto on the ground, it shall be the crowning moment of my life to support the hand that taught and nurtured me.

This would give the Convention $350.00 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 read this letter to the Church and lad them forth in this much needed and butiness-like plan for our Con- vention, ‘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 ag accepted.

A NEW DYNAMIC --- (World's Committee of Young Men's Christian Association—May 1928) The appearance of Christ in the first century on this planet was an event not only in human history, but God. It was the fruit of a redemp-God. It was the fruit of a redemptive impulse in the heart of the Eternal, manifesting itself as a dynamic—permanent, creative, exhausters. Hence our message is not a doctrine, not even the doctrine of the incarnation; it is Christ as a creative revelation of power, and peace, and forgiveness; it is the will and energy of God in direct action on the soul for its redemption and release. It makes all the difference in the world to our Gospel, whether we believe that Christ is active in the sense that the impression produced on us by a contemplation of Him as a figure in an ever vanishing past, awakens our faith or that faith is evoked by contact with Christ Himself who lives in another order of being but ever energizes in hearts and minds open to His influence. The all important factor in the Gospel is not a theological theorem, such as justification by faith, nor yet a religious experience such as conversion; it is the fact that here and now there is a veritable and vital force issuing from the Personality of the Redeemer who, enfranchised from all terrestrial limitations, is now set free to work His saving miracles in the souls and lives of men. ...ot in what Christ has said, done or suffered in the days of His flesh, but in what He is here and now and continues to be from moment to moment, in the ever-fresh, unfolding of the unsearchable potentialities of His thethe souls and lives of men. Not in a falling Church." "The Gospel is thoroughly definite; but it is quick with life, and like all living things, it exists not as a finished entity but as a vital impulse never to be spent." And it is this because at its heart is a present, living, ruling, and joyously creative Christ."—Samuel McComb (Glued to the World's Christian Association—May 1928) ST. PAUL A. M. E. CH. There was a good attendance at the services, beginning with the session of the Bible School at 9:30 a. m. The Junior church opened at 10:30 a. m., and was addressed by Rev. C. E. Brooks who spoke of the General Conference; what it has done in the interest of the young people of the church; of the outlined plans to encourage and inspire them for the future and greater work. Rev. Brooks delivered splendid sermons at the morning and evening services. A fine and entertaining program was given by the S. S. at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The A. C. E. League meeting was held at 7 p. m. The Sunday School Board held a meeting on Tuesday evening among other business transacted was the election of delegates to the S. S.

DOUGLASS, PASTOR Sunday was a high day with us, beginning with S. S. at usual hour, with Supt. and officers present. The lesson was reviewed by Rev. Wm. Thompson.

Old Reliable won the banner for finance. 8 p. m., after short devotion, the pastor chose his text from 3rd chapter of Gen. 9th verse, subject: He is not here."
