Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 21, No. 15, Here in this new South the Negro shall shine in the constellation of the nations and by his words and needs hand down to unborn ages the glittering pages of our history. We shall in some prominent way mount the ladder of our difficulties, scale the cliff of prejudice, and hide our heads among the stars—MWD. Norman, D. D. WTN Well-planned and well-advertised 'Echo Meetings" of our S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Congress and of The Baptist Word's Alliance should be held on the return of those who were to fortunate as to attend those gatherings. Our people are loyal supporters of our Publishing House and other enterprises of the Convention only needing to be properly informel, to do more. WTN Baptist everywhere must learn to differ and still work together harmoniously. To disagree on methods of management in our church, association and convention work, must not be considered a crime. The more material prosperity that attends the effort of our schools in the States, and our National Boards, the more thinking men and women are going to discuss the best way to manage them. This discussion isn't to be considered unfriendly or disloyal. Baptists must be allowed to have the tree and fair discussion of any public issue which only clarify and strengthen it. WTN The S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Congress at Milwaukee, was a great meeting of young Baptists. The place of meeting was unsurpassed for convenience. Many white Christians opened their homes for entertaining the delegates. Quite a few delegates stopped at hotels. I learned about $500,000 was raised. Drs. Isaac and Townsend with their helpers, deserve great credit for this school of meth- cds in church work. work. I wish to give publicity to these notices Please Help! Wanted: Minutes of every Baptist State Convention, of churches, Sunday schools, B. Y. P. U., or women Missionary societies. Wanted: Minutes of every Baptist Association on whether it is composed of three churches or 300 churches. WTN Dr. Carroll of New York, publishes to the world that Negro Baptists decreased 50,000 in numbers during 1926. Himself a Methodist, he states that the ranks of Methodism in 1926 gained greatly. No one believes these figures accurate but the presidents of our State Conventions and moderators of our Association neglect to report; when they withhold their printed reports, how are we to protect ourselves? The Historical Department must have the co-operation of every State leader and every District Association leader if we are to properly reported to the U. S. Census Bureau. The Morris Memorial Building has plenty of room to keep such records—all you send in for the next 50 years; if you will only send in these reports, WANTED! Old copies of "The National Baptist Magazine" published by Dr. W Bishop Johnson, Washington, D. C.; sermons and speeches written or printed by any of our deceased leaders. For the past 25 years, we can get a thread here and there of Negro Baptist work but for ante-bellum days to 1875, we have little or nothing. Everybody must help us look for the records. L. G. JORDAN, Historian & General Mist. Nat. Bapt. Convention. ATTITUDE TOWARD RACIAL ANTAGONISMS --- (From The Bapt, World's Alliance) From every surface appearance, this congress was the meeting of a great brotherhood which had no regard for varieties of complexion or racial backgrounds. Not only were there earnest protests against racial discriminations by colored men such as Mordecal W. Johnson, of Howard University and Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago—but also by their white brethren. It was Dr. C. H. Parris, the colored president of Simmons University, Louisville, Ky., facetiously announced to Shem and Janet that Ham, was present. "While the anthropologist discusses his origin, and the theologin his destiny, Ham has the ineffable satisfaction of stating that he is here!" And he was. Not only on the convention floor and platform, but also in lounge rooms and restaurants the descendants of Ham mingled indiscriminately with those of Shem and Japhet. It was a practical demonstration of what can be done in the right environment; is it too much to hope that it is a prophecy of what shall be? FISK JUBLEE SINGERS SCORE IN PARIS FISK JUBLEE SINGERS SCORE IN PARIS NEW YORK, July 13—According to reports reaching here through the United Press, the "Old Time Songs from the land of Cotton" have met with unexcelled favor in Paris, although practically all of the audience does not understand a single word. It is said that they are fascinated by the enchanting melody of these songs. The Fisk Jubilee Singers have visited Paris three times in the last six months and were greeted with packed houses at each appearance. It is claimed that in former years the Fisk Singers felt elated if they received a half-filled huse at one appearance in this city. But recently their singing has grown in favor among the French people. The Fisk singers spent a greater part of the winter on the Riveria, where the audiences were mostly British and American. TELEPHONE COMPANY WON'T HIRE NEGROES (Preston News Service) NEW YORK, July 13—According to Lovett-Fort Whitman an investigation has recently disclosed that the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, which employs more than 400,000 workers, refuses to engage Negroes as switchboard operators, electricians, chemists or linemen. Mr. Whitman says this action deprives thousands of young men and women of color from finding employment despite their ability. This company, like other public utilities, is supported by a large percentage of the 12,000,000 Negroes throughout the country. Mr. Whitman thinks it is time the Negroes should organize and oppose this unjust and flagrant form of economic discrimination.

BAR NEGRO WOMAN FROM HOSPITAL BAR NEGRO WOMAN FROM HOSPITAL NEW YORK, July 13-Discovery that she was not white led to the barring last week of Mrs. Dorothy Marie Kennie, of Antigua, Ieward Islands, from the Babies' Hospital there. ANNUAL ADDRESS By REV. WM. THOMAS, President of the B. Y. P. U. District tont Dear Co-Workers, Messengers, Sisters, Brethren and Friend:— It is once more we have passed another milestone and have made it thus far upon the rugged path of life. Many have been our experiences since we assembled last. We are left here to battle through life and I hope when the battle is over we can say like Paul: "There is laid up for us a Crown." To speak to you about our work is a joy to me for I have done all I could to make it a success. Many, apparently, have become indifferent and cold. The B. Y. P. U., is the training department of the church, and should be closely nursed by the prembership. No church is all it should be that has no union in it. And I dare say, that there are but few churches in this day that don't have some kind of a union. And yet the church is not doing all it should do to make this department a real success. The church should see to it that the Presidents is a Christian man or woman; and that he or she is a regular attendant of the church, and contributes well to the cause. See to it that he is interested in the work. A disinterested president union, he should always have something new before his union to keep in mind and be made to feel that their union is the best in the community; and then, he with the teachers of the union should visit in the homes of the students during the week, and talk B. Y. P. U. to the parents as well as the children. The B. Y. P. U., work is a great work and will take the best you have in the church to make it what it should be. It is the duty of the B. Y. P. U. to help the church do its work, and should never feel that it is separate from the church. I have striven to the best of my ability to put this department on top. I do no feel that my efforts have been altogether vain; for I can see many of you here today with expressions of hope, filled with joy looking to see what you can do to help push forward this granl and good work. You have done much to help lift the Lanner of the work to such a height that it can be seen at a great distance. There is a mighty host behind us coming, and they will see our footprints, and by them, will be guided upon the path of life in whatever they undertake. Let us then lay the foundation upon which they must build; and make straight, the path which they must travel. It is sad to say that most of our young people, even though they belong to the church, find more pleasure in the follies of the world than in the service of the church. There are very few of them who attend church. The streets and corners, theatres, Sunday baseball, the dance room and social games seem to have gotten the better of them. This must be remedied some way and that by the church. Too many mothers and fathers have left it with the child as to whether it will attend church and B. Y. P. U. You should see to it that your child attend B. Y. P. U. and church each Sabbath; the child that is trained up in the church and B. Y. P. U. will be the one to lead the church, lead in business and the general uplift of the people. Train up a child in the way it should go, and when it is old it will not depart from it; so says the wise man THE OUTLOOK I look forward to the day in my own generation when every discrimination sign and barrier to my race will be stopped and this old U. S. will be a fit place in which to live. Be not dismayed. God still lives and is doing business at the same old stand. The mills of a God grind slowly, but surely, and exceedingly fine. However, the fight must be kept up by my people. One of the set-backs of our people is th give up too quick. Passion and emotion will not get us very far. Be thou faithful until death, is the message that should go resounding through the nerve and brain of every American Negro, thrilling his heart and animating his soul to that Holy contest of justice and peace, knowledge and Holiness. It must not be forgotten that our contention must be both lawful and intelligent; for it is thought, backed up by logic and reason that demand the attention of a thinking public; and when public sentiment is aroused it is more terrible than a army with banners. Thought is more powerful and convincing than noise. There is a great DENVER MINISTER GOES TO CHICAGO CHURCH CHICAGO, ILL., July 13—The Rev. Dr. A. Wayman Ward, who was recently appointed to the pastorate of Greater Bethel, made vacant by the resignation of Dr. H. Y. Tookes, preached his initial sermon last Sunday. Dr. Ward, who has pastored in the West since his graduation from Wilberforce University, is also a graduate of Yale and has taken special studies in Western schools. Dr. Ward is 35 years' old and has a splendid reputation as a church builder, having recently rebuilt a church edifice at a cost of over $200,000 in Denver, to take the place of the one destroyed by fire. COMING W. H. Moses, D. D. of Nashville, Tennessee, Corresponding Secretary of the Home Mission Board, will preach at Calvary Baptist Church, Sunday and will also give a series of lectures or sermon during the week. You will miss a treat if you fail to hear this wonderful speaker. RETIRED WITH HONORS RETIRED WITH HONORS Mr. Henry W. James of 1210 N. Main, has stayed on the job creditably at the post office the required of years and is now honorably retired with salary as a compense to the faithful performance of his duties, while on duty. This speaks well for any man to hold a place of this distin- tion and the race should well feel proud that Mr. James is a member of our race, and well won. gulf fixed between sound and sense that ignorance can never cross. This gulf must be bridged by knowledge and truth. We must educate in self-defense. God is not going to do everything for us. There are some stones we must remove ourselves: at the ballot, in the schoolroom, at church, at work, at home, on the streets, at everything that goes to make us grander and happier. We must be more careful in our conversation about the race when in the presence of the other race, and in order to do this we must practice this among ourselves. I mean to say that we are hanging stones about our own necks when we refer to one another as that old "nigger, or them niggers and darkies" to the other race. Our public deportment and appearance has much to do with solving the race problem. Cleanliness and soberness together with public respect for our women will fill a long-felt want among us as a race. HOLINESS Picking guitars, beating tambourines and dancing to music as do the Holy Rollers, professing absolute holiness and sinless perfection in the flesh will not get us very far up the hill of progress. The time has come when we are judged by what we really are, and not by what we say we are or profess to be. When a person reaches the stage of absolute perfection and holiness in the flesh, he is as good as Jesus, and Christ ceases to be his ideal, and he thus becomes an ideal in himself, hence selfishness crowds out the love of God in his heart and he thus becomes a fit subject for heaven. Their conception of holiness is very low. They have not as yet learned from the Holy Writ, that this old body at best is sown (or buried) a corruptible body. It lives in corruption, it dies in corruption, it is buried in corruption and is devoured by the greedy worms in corruption. It is only quickened by a Divine touch from Jehovah's finger at the last trumpet blast and changed and made like unto His own glorious body, full of grace and truth. Then and not until then, can we lay claim to absolute holiness and perfection. That body will be as much different from this old corruptable body as a stalk of corn is, the grain, from whence it came. He who does not know this is called by the Apostle Paul, "a fool." EDUCATION From the above it will be clearly seen that the one thing needed is a Christian education. Our people say, God is destroyed, for the lack of knowledge. They not only need a literary education, but a knowledge of God's word. The blessed old book stands out without a peer is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, truth without any mixture of error for its matter. It reveals the principals by which God will judge us, therefore, it is, and shall remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conducts, creeds and opinions should be tried. The present generation owes it to the coming one, a better foundation upon which to build their superstructure than we had, and what they are to be (25) years hence depends largely upon what we are doing for them today.

(IC, 1938 Western Newspaper Univ.) Lesson for July 15 THE CONVERSION OF SAUL LESSON TEXT—Acts 9 1-9, 32 6-16 GOLDEN TEXT—This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. PRIMARY TOPIC—Saul Becomes a Christian JUNIOR TOPIC—Saul Becomes a Christian. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Saul Became a Christian YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Conversion of a Pharisee. I. Saul's Violent Hatred of the Lord's Disciples (v. 1, 2). Sau, knew full well that unless the movement set on foot by Jesus was stopped it would supersede Judaism. He was ignorant of the genius of Christianity. He did not know that the "blood of martyrs is the seed of the church." Prosperity may ruin the church, but persecution, never. The noble display of faith by Stephen in sealing his testimony with his blood did not soften Saul's spirit, but rather intensified his hatred for Jesus and his displeasures. The intensity of his madness, and the extent of its operations are best ret forth in his own words, "And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women" (Acts 22:4). "I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them, and punishing them oft in all the synagogues I strove to make them blaspheme, and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities" (Acts 26:10-12, R. V.). II. Saul Kicking Against the Pricks (vv. 30). The figure here is that of the eastern ox driver following the ox with a sharp iron fixed to the end of a pole. The animal is provided with this instrument and if it is refractory it kicks against the sharp iron and injures itself. I. A light from heaven (vv. 3, 4a). The time had come for the Lord to interfere. Saul was stricken with blindness and fell to the earth. This physical demonstration accentuated the workings of his conscience which doubtless were going on quickened by the Holy Spirit as he used Stephen's testimony. 2. A voice from heaven (vv. 4b, 5). This was the Lord's voice calling Saul by name and asking, "Why persecutest thou me!" This moved Saul to inquire, "Who art thou, Lord?" The answer came, "I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest." 3. Saul's inquiry (v. 6), "What wilt thou have me to do?" The dictator is now willing to be dictated to. The Lord told him to go into the city where information would be given him as to what he must do. 4. Saul entering Damascus (vv. 70) The haughty persecutor went quite humbly into Damascus, led by his attendants. For the space of three days he remained blind, and fasted. What went on in his soul in those days no mortal can know, but we may be assured that he, like the Lord in the wilderness, was too deep in meditation and prayer to desire food. In these days of deep meaning his whole life was being reorganized by Jesus (Christ III, Ananias Ministers to Saul (vv. 10-19). 1. Ananias' vision (vv. 10-12). In this vision the Lord appeared and instructed him to go to Saul. He gave him the name of the street and Saul's host, and informed him that Saul was now a praying man, and that He had prepared Saul by the vision for the coming of Ananias. 2. Ananias' fear and hesitancy (vv. 13 10). He knew of Saul's ministry and the authority by which he came. The Lord encouraged him to go, assuring him that Saul was no longer an enemy but a chosen vessel to bear his name before the Gentiles. 3. Anaplas' obedience (v. 17). His fears being removed, Ananias went to the house where Saul was staying, put his hand on him and affectionately addressed him as "Brother Saul." The hitherto savage persecutor is now a brother in Christ. Ananias informed Saul that the Lord had sent him with a two-fold mission; (1) "That thou mightest receive thy sight." (2) "Be filled with the Holy Spirit." 4. Saul baptized (vv. 18, 10). After Saul received his sight Ananias baptized him. Since Ananias was not a church official, it is clearly implied that official rank is not necessary for the administration of bapism. The Lord bestows the gift of the Spirit upon whomsoever He will God Does Not Forsake Thee Suppose that all men forsake or forget thee; God does not. His eye sees thee, His heart feels for thee, and His hand is able to deliver thee. Thou art not friendless, nor wilt thou be till the God of all consolation dies. Charles H. Spurgeon. A Heavenly Vision To a holy heart is vouchsafed a heavenly vision. Eyes that are cleared of the mists of sin behold undimmed the face of the Lord.—Echoes. B. Y. P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES WHAT BAPTISTS HAVE DONE IN HISTORY. That St. John 8:31-36. True humility is the badge of discipleship, and believers in Christ are instruments through which Christ has worked to change the course of the world's events into the channels of blessings. "All Hail The Power of Jesus' Name." Not so much what has been done by Baptist, but the motivating power that has moved to these actions, which is the life of God through Christ in the heart of man. Christ has been pleased to use his simple followers to perpetuate the work which he hath, begun, for he said. "They shall do greater work." The New Testament Church has always believed in the principles of Jesus as taught by Him, and contend for the same even at the cost of blood. The underlying basis of the constitution of America, rests upon the principles for which true believers have always stood. Freedom of conscience, Government of the people, and by the people. The Baptists have always stood for separation of Church and State, and for the supreme authority of the Word of God. The continuity of this faith has passed through the ages from the Apostles until now. They still hold that the most important question is, what will you do with Jesus? Perseverance is a true sign of the life of Jesus, for His is a triumphant life. Truth discover itself to the earnest it, and when found makes the seeker free. Sin, not only, makes us slaves as well. Christ is the road to freedom. "He that the Son sets free, is free indeed." The Jews believed themselves to be the Children of Abraham, was enough, but the first birth is not sufficient. The second is essential to salvation. All of us know we have been born once, but how many are equally sure of the second birth The fruits of the first are evident. All who look upon us will testify to the first birth, but what about the second. The freedom, Jesus gives is preserved by the Holy Spirit lest we be taken captives. What Baptist have done in History is rather what Christ has done through a sect everywhere spoken against. Baptist History is written in Blood, but it is worth the price that has been paid. Any organization that contends for principle at any cost, will not only make for itself a name, but will come at last.

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, 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 $6,700,000 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 mean $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 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 business-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 pay 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 Missons. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular? Churches P.

HOUSTON LYNCHING (Preston News Service) Commenting on the regrettable lynching incident last week when the Democratic National Convention was about to begin its session for the selection of presidential and vice presidential candidates of the Nation, one of the fairest and most impartial publications in the country, and always especially friendly toward the Negro says editorially: "It is no fault of the Democratic Party that just before the opening of its national convention in Houston, Texas, a Negro should have been taken from the jail there and lynched. Neither are we disposed to criticise too severely the city of Houston, as its pastrecord has been excellent, no such crime having taken place before in more than fifty pears. But when Negroes are lynched in the South it is commonly due to the feeling that they are not human beings and that summary violence is the only way to 'keep the niggers in their place'. A repudiation by the better class of white men of this attitude will gradually discourage lynchings by the less reputable element. We are glad to not that rewards have been offered for the apprehension of the Houston lynchers both by the State and City, and we hope the public indignation in regard to the crime is not more vexation over the bad advertising which the municipality has obtained but an expression of genuine sorrow for a shameful deed."

ANNUAL ADDRESS ed not to rest or let up until our Kansas Vocational School at Topeka urd our Theological Seminary; and our summer school that was also held in Topeka, in the month of July, for the uplift of our Christian workers are three beacon lights for Christian intelligence, around which revolve anxious students. Please allow me to say that the educational work in our District, is not what it should be. The cause is not due altogether to the faculty as has been heretofore said; much of the cause is due to the fact that we have manifested too little interest in it ourselves. It is thought by many that the B. Y. P. U. should be able to run itself. This is a mistake, it cannot run itself any more than an engine can run itself; because, you built the first fire and raised the first team. As the fireman must keep putting fuel into the furnace to keep up steam that the engine can go, so also, must we keep putting interest and money into our B. Y. P. U., work that it may go. We must unite our efforts and make an altogether pull to make the work what it should be. Our B. Y. P. U., is destined to be one of the best in the state. The field in which our District is located is one of the best anywhere. The young people of our church needs a Christian education that their thoughts may be different and that they must be prepared to do the tasks set before them. The young minister must be prepared to take charge of the work when it falls into hands which it surely will some day. To prepare himself, we must prepare a school for him. All power is given unto men in heaven and earth, go ye therefore, and teach all nations; by mission we mean the work done by Christians in fulfilling the command of Jesus to his disciples. How well this is being done is for you to decide. The world must be brought to Christ and the Christian family is the medium thru which they must come. I must say as I close that the success of our work, has been due largely to the co-operation of some of our good Christian workers and co-workers whose names follow:—Rev. J. T. Elias, D. D., our good Moderator; Rev. C. Teal, D. D., Vice Moderator; Rev. A. L. Gardner, D. D., our Gen. Sec.; Rev. J. S. King, D D., President of the M. and D. U.; Rev. L. T. Thompson, Vice President, Rev. S. A. Williams, D. D., one of the leading pastors of our great State of Kansas; Rev. Watkins, pastor of St. John Church, Independence, Kansas; Rev. Bullock of this great church; Rev. H. Curtis of Baxter Springs; Sister Dial the President of our Mission Work, and Sister Anderson, our Gen. Sec. of the same and others too numerous to mention, and I am happy to be associated with these loyal workers. I am sure with the help of these workers, we will be able to put over this program in a large way. Permit me to read the statistics of this great Baptist family beginning the year of 1926,—there were three million four hundred thousands race Baptists total ing eight million, one hundred and seven thousand three hundred seventy-one members of both races in this country; in 1926 there were eleven million forty thousand, six hundred forty-five Baptists in the world. Plans are being made to celebrate the fifthth anniversary of this great Baptist host. Brethren there is no reason why we should not put over a great program, with an army of this kind. Dear workers, permit me to speak of the sad conditions of this great cause of ours, some of the alarming conditions recently, there was a committee met in the city of Chicago and their statistics showing the leakage in the church and affiliation among college students. The committee claimed that thousands of boys and girls whom have been confirmed and reared in the church returned from college indifferent than even hostile to the faith of their fathers. The religious situation in this country is becoming alarming when there are more than twenty-five thousand chs. for rent in the United States, one fourth of the total number because people don't go to church any more. Allow me to say to our leaders, we must go forth as savers of the master of our people pour into them, hope, industry, enlightment, contentment and above all true Christianity, teach the Negro boy and girl that the salvation of life and the salvation of everything is the glorious end of education. We are working hard accumulating property and characterizing the nation by their industrious arms, obeying the law, fighting for stars and the stripes and serving God and that God will shape for them a noble destiny.
