THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE
RIGHTING A WRONG. HOVER NEXT
Vol.21, No.12,
One of the most distressing situations in human experience comes when it is discovered that a man has been imprisoned for years on false charges, and the State of South Carolina, is face to face with it now. Thirteen years ago, Ben Bess, a Negro, was sent to the penitentiary for thirty years on the testimony of a white woman that he had attempted to attack her. The woman is nearing the end of her life from an incurable disease and has but lately relieved her conscience and admitted that she testified to falsehoods on the stand and sent Bess to prison for a crime of which he was innocent. She is now broken physically and absolutely destitute, and the injurice that has been done him is glaringly obvious. South Carolina, was guilty of a grave wrong in the first place and is now apparently just as eager to do what is humanly possible to right it. The fault has been admitted and steps are being taken to apply what measure of remedy lies within the state's power.
Governor Kichards of South Carolina, has been exceedingly active in Bess' behalf. As soon as the case was presented to his attention he tried to have financial aid given Bess from the state's contingent fund, and when he was advised that such procedure was illegal, he started a public subscription for Bess' benefit. He has likewise announced that he will seek to have the next legislature do what it can to repay Bess for the almost irreparable damage that has been done him. All this is precisely as it should be. Society cannot make up to Ben Bess the thirteen years of freedom it has unjustly taken from him, but it can prove to him its genuine remorse for what has happened and make the rest of his life at least a partial recompense.

After the clearing of the political cloud it seems that Herbert Hoover will be our next next president. The farm-plank is accepted by him and prohibition gets assurance in him. The north and South seemingly are more together on him. The Negroes should study well the political candidates and make a greater American by putting in the best candidates from the smallest elective office up, register now, today, so you can save the day, tomorrow or the future.

WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, June 22, 1928.
PRESIDENT OF SOUTHEASTERN BAPTIST S. S. CONVENTION. PRES, REV. A. L. GARDNER
Fellow Co-workers, Ladies and Gentlemen—It is with the keenest sense of appreciation, and the deepest humility, that I greet you on this the 43rd annual session, of the Southwestern District Sunday School Convention. We must all admit, the Lord has been mindful of us, since He has, then each of us should ask himself the question, what shall I render unto the Lord, for all of His benefits towards me? Psalm 116:12. As we look upon another year of work, in the vineyard of the Lord, and as we recall our many experiences of joy and sorrow, successes and failures, and then stop to consider all these things in the light of what God and His church have meant to each of us, we can see very clearly that the above words of the Psalmist, very fittingly express our sentiments. We are living in an age of great possibilities, our age is the age of electricity. The remarkable revolution, which the practical application of electricity has effected in recent years, is one of the wonders of modern life. Space and time have been almost annihilated, the transmission of energy, the development of production, and distribution of electrical power, all suggest great possibilities. It would be a task even to enumerate the various spheres of the wonder working activities of electrical power. It will drive the transcontinental up the dizzy heights of the Rocky Mountains, it will haul trains of 800 tons weights over the mountain ranges of the Alps, it will flash its wireless messages across the Atlantic, at the speed of 186,000 miles a second, it has tiel two continents together, and made them friendly nations. Our highways are crowded with automobiles, from the restless coast of the Atlantic, to the golden shores of California. This is the greatest age for inventions, in the history of the world. There was a time when we were dependent upon the stage coach, for carrying passengers, freight, and mail; but now Uncle Sam has employed men to carry the mail in Air Planes, many of which are seen speeding through the air like a flying eagle. There was a time when it took several weeks to cross the Atlantic, now it is only a
SERMON
(Delivered to members and friends of St. Mary's Baptist Church, by its pastor, Rev. J. E. Douglass, Sunday June 17th, at 11 a. m.)
"The Restoration of Lost Joy"
"Restore, unto me the joy of thy salvation." Pa. 51:12.
God never meant that man should be unhappy. When God created man He made him a holy and happy being. As long as man remained in that first estate he was happy and blessed. But man, by sin lost happiness. Sin has brought all the misery and pain and death to which man has become heir. God pitied man in his tallen conition, and provided a way by which he might be saved and a sin be made happy. "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoseever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." But many who have been saved and made happy, like David, have lost the joy of salvation. Joy could not be restored if it had not once been in possessed and then lost. David had not lost salvation, but by his sin he had lost the joy of salvation. He prayed in the language of the text, "Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation."
We note—I. Salvation Has Joy,
This is a realization by reason of;
1. The sense of salvation itself.
The soul is no longer in a state of
condemnation but has passed from
death to life. The realization of this
causes the greatest joy.
2. By co-operation with God.
The soul is not only saved, but is bought into a state of fellowship and co-operation with God.
"The Savior comes and wa'ks with me
And sweet communion here have we;
He gently leads me by His hand,
For this is heaven's border land."
2. By a sense of future reward,
Christ not only saves us, but He has promised to reward us for services rendered. "In My Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
II. II. The Joy of Salvation May be Lost.
I. By neglecting knowing duties
JUNCTION CITY, June 12-15—Kansas State B. Y. P. U. and S. S. Conventions met with Second Baptist Church and Auxiliaries at the Community House, a very adequate place to meet. These people under the leadership of Rv. G. T. Ralney, gave a real reception. They filled our wants, saying nothing about our needs. It will be a hard job to beat the hospitality found here. The Union Convention's Theme was, "This New Life Is Of God," sand the entire program was built around "Sanctification." The music was good and the inspiration stayed very high, with Mrs. Phynola Cook, Pratt, State Directress of Music in charge. A young lady from Neosho District was used as pianist in the absence of Miss Washington, our elected pianist. Dr. E. L. Seruggs, Topeka, Dean of E. L. Seruggs, Theological Seminary, took care of the Christian Course in four addresses, viz: "The New Testament Church;" "Mark of Degeneracy and Corruption;" "The Church in the Wilderness," and "The Church Re-appears." It was interesting to see how these, young people took hold of these dry but important subjects. Dr. Seruggs did the occasions much good with his powerful courses of reasonings. "Necessity of having a quarterly social," by Mrs. Minnie Owens, Ft. Scott, was instructive. "The Difference Between Sanctification and Regeneration," was discussed by Rev. Danzy, Emporia. "The Difference Between Sanctification and Justification," was discussed in a practical way by Rev. J. W. Johnson, Abilene. In the absence of Rev. J. W. Hayes, Dr. Seruggs gave the general summary. Vice President, Bro. John Dysart, Atchison, did his full duty in taking care of the new messengers and visitors, presenting over fifty during the sessions. Most of them were young people.
Afternoon session showed increase in interest. After usual form of opening, in absence of Mrs. Carrie Anderson, Mrs. Fitzhugh, of K. C. K., State Faithful Guide drew from the audience many thoughts, on "How To Plan a Quarterly Social." "Sanctification Is Through the Spirit, Not The Law," by Rev. M. J. Smith, Ft. Scott. This address was truly helpful. In the absence of Rev. Hayes, General Summary, was omitted.
The evening session was featured with an inspiring Junior Program, and plans laid of a State Junior Convention with Mrs. G. T. Raimey, Faithful Guide in charge. President's Annual Address was a strong plea for a chance for the young people and a more careful life for both old and young. The address was ordered-published in The Negro Star, Rev. Chas. Favors surprised the Convention by singing a solo. In the absence of Prof. Clement Richardson, Dr. E. L. Scruggs, delivered the Inspirational Address which was edifying, eloquent and instructive. The officers did their duties so well until only the pianist was changed on account of being absent. The Second Day Morning Session went through its usual form of opening, then Bro. John Dysart took charge of the round table discuss' in the absence of Miss H. Nutter of Leavenworth.
with the consciousness of neglected duty.
2. By retaining cherished sins in the heart. Before salvation the life was burdened by sinful, habits and cherished sins. Unless these are eradicated from the heart they will destroy the joy of salvation.
3. By living too much for self and world. "No one can serve God and mammon." Selfishness and worldly mindedness is sure to destroy the joy of salvation.
III. The Joy of Salvation may be Restored.
1. By renouncing those things that have deprived us of it. Look back over your life and see what has deprived you of the joy of salvation and renounce it.
2. By announcing allegiance to God. It is not enough to renounce those things that have deprived you of the joy of salvation, you must come and announce your allegiance to God and re-consecrate yourself anew to Him.
3. By Living For God. The joy of salvation can only be realized by a life devoted to God. The self life is never a happy life.
1 Conclusion:
1. David not only prays for the joy of salvation to be restored, but he also prays to be upheld by the Spirit. He does not want to trust himself, but wants the Divine Power to uphold him that he might not fall again.
2. Notice the blessed results that follow the restoration as given in the verse following the text; "Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee." A back-slider never makes any converts. If you have lost the joy of salvation pray that it may be restored that there may be joy in your own heart and that you may teach transgressors the way of God and that sinners through you may be converted.

(INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION)
ATLANTA, GA., June 8—The new home of the Carrie Steele Orphanage for Colored Children, at 300 Roy Street, S. W., a modern fire-proof structure with accommodations for 75 children, was dedicated last week with appropriate exercises and attended by a large audience. Rev. P. James' Bryant was the principal speaker, Captain A. T. Walden, serving as master of ceremonies.
The building was erected and will be maintained and operated with funds appropriated by the City of Atlanta and Fulton County, and the two-acre plot of land, on which it is located, is the gift of the Atlanta Board of Education.
Among the outstanding figures in the establishment of the new plant are Mrs. Carrie Cox, Matron; Dr. G. Dwelle, chairman of the board of trustees, and Captain Walden. Former Councilman, A. J. Orme was thanked by officials for his work in helping to secure the city appropriation.
judges, all groups made nice grades, but Kaw Valley led and Southwestern fell behind on account of late.
The services were wonderfully helped by the sweet and harmonious singing of 2nd Baptist Junior Cholr. Rev. M. J. Burton of Topeka, their pastor. Rev. S. Montgomery delivered an address that had many helpful suggestions after he had corrected the subject assigned. Many points stressed in the General Summary by Rev. J. W. Hayes. Rev. A. W. Ross had the Convention to stow and give honor to Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Hayes and Rev. Beatty, who had just finished their courses for degrees of A. B. and D. D.
The afternoon session, after usual opening, listened to a profound message from Rev. J. E. Douglass on "Fruits of Sanctification—Inward and Outwar." The, Convention was charmed with a Missionary Pageant: "Showing the Work of the Home and Foreign Field." Many were the compliments for this inspiring entertainment—originated and managed by Mrs. Carrie Anderson. Rev. A. W. Ross was very good in his General Summary.
Evening Session was noted for its excellent program and stunts under supervision of Mrs. Pauline Wilson, Ottawa, Treasurer of Convention.
The closing sermon by Rev. C. O. Marshall, was the climax of the Convention. The Evidence of Sanctification was taught in groups. In spite of this being a hard year, we were able to turn in to state Missions more money than any previous year. According to reports of (Continued next week)

Five Cents Per Copy
BIG MEETING HELD
The G. O. P. Convention held in Kansas City, Mo. June 12-16 is now history. The pre-convention meetings were many and varied, which outcome named Herbert Hoover as the standard bearer for the Republican Party and Charles Curtis of Kansas as Vice Presidential nominee. The naming of Mr. Hoover was not a surprise, for this was assured in advance through his state and national organization; no uninstructed delegate was seated to imperil his nomination. Many national committeemen lost their position and others were keenly humiliated for thinking in other terms of the Republican Convention. Hon. Senator, Chas. Curtis of Kansas was the only presidential aspirant having headquarters for colored politicians and participants. The Watson Hotel was exquisitely inviting for the occasion.
It appears that the doctrine of the "So-called Lily White" received the approbation of Republicanism As such "Gooseneck" Bill William McDonald of Ft. Worth, Texas, banker, politician, and orator says he is thus with G. O. P. The astonishing thing about the lily white question is that four Negroes supported it. Coincidentally, these leaders and others were instrumental in thrusting "Little Caesar," Walter Cohen, national committeeman of Louisiana, until he cast his vote for Curtis of Kansas, for standard bearer for 1928 of The Republican Party. Despite, divers of opinions, Hoover received 837 votes out of the 1,089 ballots cast. The nomination was later made unanimous by Gov. Paulen of Kansas. The Negro was only mentioned in the party platform in connection with a federal anti-lynching law and reads:—THE NEGRO.
"We renew our recommendation that Congress enact at the earliest possible date a federal anti-lynching law so that he full influence of the Federal Government may be wielded exterminate this hideous crime."
Senator Robert LaFollette Jr., of Wisconsin, presented the Minority report with sheer oratory, teeming logic and sounding advice, he asked that all "regular delegates" be seated, relief for the farmar, withdrawal of interstd from the privilege class using "The Famous Tea Pot Dome" as an ocular illustration. The report was overwhelmingly defeated.
With Chas. Curtis receiving more than a thousand votes as vice presidential nominee, we feel that the ticket is well balanced.
It seems as if Hoover-Curtis ought to be a formidable team. Generally speaking, the G. O. P. leaders showed a high type of organization with forgetting and foresight and in the last analysis victory in November, 1928.
Miss Lucia Hill has been asked to serve as pianist at the Kansas Girl Reserve Camp Conference, Elmdale, Kansas, July 13-31. Miss Maxine Cooper, President of the High School Girl Reserve Club will also attend the conference.
The Finance Committee, Mrs. F. O. Miller, Chairman will present Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert in recital, September 17th. Mme. Talbert is recognized as the most outstanding woman artist the race has, ranking next to Roland Hayes.
The Membership Committee from Central Association, Mrs. A. F. Styler, chairman, held a meeting at the "Bradenk"; Thursday afternoon. Membership basis was discussed. Mrs. Guy Gebhardt led discussion.

Lesson for June 24
REVIEW—JESUS THE SAVIOR
GOLDEN TEXT—Choose you this day whom ye will serve.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Learning to Listen
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Jesus our Lord and Savior.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TUPCIC—The Son of God With Power.
For senior and adult classes a good method of review will be to study the principal facts and give the leading teaching of each lesson. The following suggestions are offered:
Lesson for April 1.
Before going to the cross Jesus endowed to make clear to the disciples the reality of Ilis divine personality and the meaning of Ilis suffering and resurrection. Correct knowledge of Christ's person and work is essential to give poise to the disciples in the tragic hours of life.
Lesson for April 8.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was announced by an angel and he was afterwards seen by many witnesses. Conviction concerning Christ's resurrection is absolutely necessary to effectively witness for Him.
Lesson for April 15.
In order to revive the drooping spirits of the disciples Jesus was transfigured before them. Two men from the upper world were sent to converse with Jesus about His approaching death at Jerusalem, the very thing about which the disciples refused to talk. In this transfiguration is given a foregleam of the coming kingdom.
Lesson for April 22.
Jesus as a son was faithful to his parents. He had a high regard for the true home. In this lesson he sets forth the truth concerning marriage which is the foundation of the home. Those who are actuated by His spirit will recognize marriage as the ideal law of life.
Leason for April 29.
Jesus' answer to the question of the rich young ruler concerning what he should do in order to inherit eternal life shows that the one thing absolutely necessary is supreme love to God and that we should be willing to part with everything for His sake.
Lesson for May 6.
While Jesus was resting in the shadow of the cross, the disciples were disputing as to who should be greatest. The leading lesson is that true greatness is expressed in willingness to give oneself in service to others.
1. Lesson for May 13.
Jesus entered Jerusalem and officially presented Himself to the Jewish nation according to prophecy. Jesus exercised His kingly authority in cursing the fig tree and driving out the money changers from the temple.
Lesson for May 20.
Ender the parable of the husbandmen who betrayed their trust, Jesus shows the Jews to be guilty of persecuting the prophets and of murdering the Son of God. Man's whole duty is summed up in one word—supreme and undivided love of God.
Lesson for May 27.
Jesus is coming in glory and will enter into judgment with those who have been unfaithful. It is incumbent upon all to watch so as to be ready when He comes.
Lesson for June 2.
Though Jesus was the very Son of God, possessing all power, he was at the same time a real man and craved human sympathy, therefore He took with Him His disciples to the garden of Gethsemane.
Lesson for June 10.
Because Jesus took the place of the sinner, he was desplaced and rejected of men. The treatment of Jesus reveals the awful wickedness of the human heart. They chose Barubbus instead of Christ.
Lesson for June 17.
On the cross Jesus made the supreme sacrifice for the sins of the world. When the price of redemption was fully paid Jesus dismissed life spirit, thus showing that He had all power.
Being Christians
"Daniel purposed in his heart." That's the trouble with a great many many people; they purpose to do right, but they only purpose in their heads, and that doesn't amount to much. If you are going to be Christians, you must purpose to serve God away down in your hearts. "With the heart man believeth unto righteousness."—D. L. Moody.
Arrows of the Holy Ghost
Deep convictions of sin will not spring from rational consideration No man can work them in his own soul; they are the arrows of the holy Ghost. And when he sends them they stick fast—Berridge.
The Way
If you ask the way to the crown—
'tis by the cross; to the mountain—
'tis by the valley; to exaltation—'tis
he that humbleth himself.—J. al.
Evans.

"Why Should We Educate The World?" Isa. 42:5-13.
We should educate the world because the world is in need of light, such as the Gospel only can give.
We should educate the world because there can be no civilization where there is no Gospel.
We are in debt to the Gospel for the clothes we wear, the houses in which we live, the standard of ethics by which we determine right and wrong.
If the world were truly educated, racial barriers would be broken down and the angry cannons of the Civil War would be heard no more. And everywhere, it would be acknowledged—all men free and equal.
The Almighty hath spoken, let all the earth keep silent. He calls whom He will and sustains whom He calls. God makes His elects a light for the Gentiles.
Light and freedom accompany the Gospel. The Gospel age was to be an age of freedom joy and peace and wherever the Gospel has gone it has carried these blessings.
Glory to God in the highest on earth, peace, (good-will) to men. The day in which we live is the period of good will. The task of the church is to give through its influence true education to the world. True investigation in any field leader to God.

Children's Day was quite an interesting after such inclement weather. Sunday School was very good; with a very interesting lesson.
Program began at 5:30 o'clockpm. It was a treat to all present. Every child played well his part. Two of the most interesting lectures of the program were an oration, "Who Is Responsible for the Negro's Condition?" by Willie H. Jones; and "Think For Yourself," by Vivian McVen Jones. The Pastor made some interesting remarks, introducing the congratulations to the Supt. and the Sunday School Owing to the rain the congregatian was small, and this made the collection small, but we are proud to say $3.50 was raised.

Lev. Chas, Favors and the following messengers returned from Junction City, friday evening. Misses Lois Nebrier and Clair Clayborne, Madames A. Lowardus, Pauline Wilson and Rev. W. F. Beatty, F. Scott, They attended the State at Y. F. U. and S. B. Convention at Junction City.
Lev. Beatty returned to Fort Scott Saturday. Leonard Garrett and niece, Eugenia Roberts plan to leave the midday of the week for Toledo, Ohio.
The messengers to the S. S. S. Convention made interesting reports of the sess on at S. S. Sunday morning. Pastor Favors selected as a text for his message, Sunday evening, Mark 16:25; subject: "The Crucinion of Christ." Some of the main thoughts impressed upon us were as follows: No theologians will ever be able to explain all that the crucinion means. We should think on our way and not be moved by emotion. In Christ we find the truly unhealed, the Lamb without blemish, the Son of God.
The law of Moses was to stone to death. The law of the komsan, execution with the sword. The mode of death by crucifixion was taken from the Arabians. To die on a cross was considered the most horrible death a curpure could use.
The Sacrificial death of Jesus Christ may go free, if we accept it. Religion should be a business proposition.

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topeka, October 4-9, 1927
Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topeka, October 4-9, 1927
TO THE CHURCH AND PASTOR:
My Deat. Collsors:
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 Auxillaries.
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 $3.90 each monthly it means $75.00, and 75 churches give $2.00 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention $250.00 to meet her regular monthly obligations and 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 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 Secy. and Supt. of Missions.
Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?

WHAT a revelation it would be to every user of electricity if he could walk through one of Kansas Gas and Electric Company's great superpower plants! Either would do—the plant at Wichita or the one at Neosho.
He would see great turbo-generators, quiet, save only a purr which itself is significant of tremendous power. He would see the tremendous boilers with the furnaces white hot as they transmit their heat to the water through what might appear to a layman as being a highly complicated system of tubes and piping, but which to us is comparatively simple because we know it is designed to extract every unit of heat out of the fuel and transmit this energy to the heart of the whole thing—those turbo-generators.
He would marvel at the orderliness and cleanliness of the plant where all this energy was being created and released.
Finally, after everything else had been noticed, he might turn his attention to those loyal, quiet, unobtrusive men whose brains and muscles assist us in guiding all this tremendous force, which uncontrolled, could be likened unto the terrifying power of a tornado.

Services Sunday, June 17, were splendid. Inclement weather caused less in attendance. S. S., on time, Supt. Swan at his post. Lesson was beautifully outlined by Bro. H. W. James. Pastor was in charge of the Evangelism period. The pastor and those who went to the Convention, came back with much inspiration. Sister O. M. Baker, gave the School a wonderful report.

that all the various steps in the process function continuously, efficiently, correctly, and without any "fuss or feathers."
It is our duty and pleasure to set that the boilers are in perfect operating condition. It is for us to know, not to take it for granted that the water is chemically treated and distilled before use. We must see to it that the fuel is stored and kept in proper condition to burn and yet avoid fire hazards. We must keep furnaces in condition to withstand the tremendous temperatures encountered. Unless the most painstaking care is taken, much money can be lost under a boiler and the cost of electricity to the consumer thereby greatly increased. We must know that the generators are clean and cool.
One hundred million gallons of water a day are pumped through the cooling systems of Kansas Gas and Electric Company's two superpower plants. You who have difficulty keeping an automobile oiled, consider the difficulty of keeping machinery which produces 93,000 horsepower properly lubricated. These are only a few of the things we engineers must watch for 24 hours each day, in order to deliver the constant supply of electric energy to the transmission and distribution lines where it may at all times be "At Your Service."
