THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE REPUBLICAN CHIEFTAINS GATHER AT CAPITOL FOR CURTIS NOTIFICATION AUG. 18TH. [Name] [Name not visible in the image] ANNUAL ADDRESS To the Kaw Valley District Association, S. S. Convention, Women's Home and Foreign Mission Convention, State of Kansas:— As a unit, we must see success. There cannot be a failure in the work of this Association, for it is composed of local churches and auxiliaries, unit upon a rock and governed by laws and principles given to them and the life-long stamp put upon it. The stamp with a promise, that the "Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." The church is the home or house in which the kingdom of Heaven has her dwelling-place. This Association is composed of local churches and auxiliaries, and annual members of the highest type of Christian men and women. Hence the Divine Hand of Providence will not fail the church. A great opportunity lies before us as the great harvest field looked to the Master when He said, "Look upon the Field, it is ready for the harvest." We need more faith in God and to have it, means success all the time. We are not in ancient oriental days, when Monarchs ruled, as they did in Egypt Assyria, Babylonia, Babylon, Judea, Phoenicia, India and Persia. All of these nations except the Egyptians were born and cradled in Western Asia. We see and cherish civilization in the days of Christianity in the (Continued on page three) (Preston News Service) If we our fellowmen could know, Then would we more appreciate Their worth; then in our hearts would plow The fire of love instead of hate; For such will follow, if, and when We better know our fellowmen. If we could know what others bear- Their load of sorrow, grief and woe Of penury and toll, and care— If all they suffer we could know, We'd help, though but a little mite, To make their heavy burdens light. If we could know the circumstance Of those who may in weakness fall, Many who had had little chance, "Fighting with backs against the wall." Thus knowing circumstance, would we In mercy judge, and charity, So, every man, what'er his creed When tempted others to deery; Should reckon, and sincerely try, And that in every way he can; Better to know his fellowman R.

Now we have Christ as our High Priest and King. He is our High Priest for He offered Himself today on the cross for the sins of the world and satisfied the Divine Justice in heaven, so, no more priest offerings are needed to justify the law. He is our King: for He rules every-heart in which His kingdom has been established. With the bonified men and women of the Kaw Valley District Association, as we have, How Can a Failure Come? The Kings and Emperors of oriental days, waxed, waned, and passed off the scene but our King lives forever, and rules with a rod of LOVE. Retrospecting the days or med eval history, chivalry sprang out of feudalism which was the brightest flower. It grew into a great institution, but like all non-Christian organizations, flourish for a season and then disappear. We do not live in the days of chivalry but in the days of Christianity. It has been said, antiquity produced heroes, but no gentlemen; we must congratulate ourselves for being permitted to live, not in antiquity but in the Christian era where both heroes and heroines are produced and Christian gentlemen without number. No failure is expected, for we can not fail as long as "True lives, for He is not only the "True Vine" but He is the "Living Vine," to give energy and vitality to every member KENTUCKIANS SEEK WHITE MEN WHO ATTACK NEGRO GIRLS (Freton News Service) JOURSILIE KY., Aug. 9-Sev cial week's two three race girls were attacked near Lexington KY., by 7 (teenv) white men who have not yet been captured.

FRIDAY, Aug.17, 1928 WIFE OF HANGED MAN INSISTS HE WAS INNOCENT (Preston News Service) ATIANTA, GA., Auy. 9—The alloyed concession that she and "A Lover" committed the murder for which her husband and James Moses died Friday morning, is still held by Mrs. Gilford Thompson. She says, "I'll stick to my s. y. until I go." The woman's story named an elderly Chatsworth, Ga., man as plotting with her the death of Coleman Osborne, Chatsworth, Ga., store keeper, and fastening the crime her husband to get him out of the way so they could enjoy their clandestine love tries to heart's contort. "Osborne knew too much of our affair and my lover as well as myself had hurt out of two way," she said. Hompson and Moss were electrocuted a few hours after Governor Hardman had examined the alleged confession and denied a respute. Mrs. Thompson remained in Fulton prison, here, while an appeal in her case awaited action of the George Supreme Court. She faces a death sentence for the same crime. Osborne was killed one year ago. All are white except James Moss, who was an employee of the Thompsons. Moss and Thompson denied their guilt. Moss asked that his wife and children be taken care of. OTTAWA-A TINE PLACE The hospitality of Ottawa, is hard to beat! The numerous invitations to remain in Ottawa, are indicative of the favorable impression made by Miss Sims in her 9 days' training a chorus for a jubilee concert, Monday Nite. 40 voices rehearsed twice a day to prepare for the concert, and in spite of the heat they rendered a very cred.table program to a very appreciative audience. At the close of the concert the chorus presented Miss Sims with a handkerchief hower, writh was very thoroly appreciated by her. Those taking part, were Damesdames Ida Hughes, Pauline Wilson, Mary Allen A. Johnson, Stovall, Gertrude Hooker, Lena Holbrook, Dora McCurry; Messrs Earl Hughes, W. O. Bell, Guy Edwards, Russell Allen, Thomas Augustus and Misses Elsie Lewis, Althea and Lois McBrier, Clara Clalbourne. Delicious luncheons were served for Mrs. Chas, Favors, Mrs. P, Lewis Mrs. G. Hooker, Miss Louise Walker, Wise Flisie Lewis, Mrs. P. Wilson and Mrs. Webb. The right-seeing trip with Mr. and Mrs. Russell Allen was vcp enjoyable.

THE POWER OF KINDNESS A young man once left home to make his own way in a great city. His father was dead. The godly mother was concerned for her boy while he had always attended church yet he had not become a member of the church. Before he left home the mother said, "Marion, will you promise me two things?" "Yes," said the boy. "Well" the mother replied, "I want you to promise me you will attend church regularly and read your Bible every day. Because at church you will meet the best people and in reading the Bible you will discover the right way of life." The boy promised. The first Sabbath in the city he attended church. Everything was beautiful in the church services, but the boy was feeling lonely. The next Sabbath he returned with the same results. If he had not promised his mother he would not have gone to church. After the third freezing experience he was becoming bitter against the church. He said, "I will go once more and if no one speaks to me then I'm through with the church." But before he got away, a kind old lady spoke to him kindly. She explained that she had been away so had not seen him before and she was glad he was to be in the city and attend their church. And she continued "I want you to meet the pastor and the young people. They are just fine." What a little service it was just to be kind to a stranger, but a lonely heart was encouraged, and, later on a great Christian worker was developed. Have you guessed his name? It was Marion Lawrence, one of the greatest Sunday School leaders the world has ever known. —The Arkansan. A dainty repast was served by the hostess. We will meet next Wednesday.

Five Cents Per Copy INTER CHURCH CAMP A·BIG SUCCESS INTER CHURCH CAMP A·BIG SUCCESS FIVE CHURCHES ACTIVELY CO-OPERATE BOYS FROM SEVEN CHURCHES The Inter-Church Camp, conducted by Water Stree Branch, Y. M. C. L., was an outstanding success. While only one-half of the churches co-operated to the extent of sending boys; 21 boys enjoyed the week's outing. Secretary Hutcherson was greatly assisted by his good wife and Mrs. G. L. Scott. These two good women left their homes and went to Camp Hyde and prepared the meals for the boys. The following persons furnished their cars to transport the boys to and from Camp! Mr. Abner Jackson, Mr. Robert Crawford, Dr. D. Mee-Gee, Attorney Brown Rev, Douglas, Rev, Brooks, Mr. Duke, Mr. B. W. Crawford, Mrs. Henry Papne, Mrs. Luscia Williams. There were 68 visitors in Camp during the week. This was encouraging, both to the leaders and boys. Among the speakers were: Dr. Wilson, Rev.

This is easily the Banner Year in Camping for the Negro youth of the city. SPECIAL APPEAL! TO THE COLORED PEOPLE:— Seeing the present condition of our colored people it came to my mind to consider them greatly. I wish to say, that what our people need is love for one another and a strong united body of foreseeing men that will stand in the midst of discouraging projects that so often come against a righteous cause. And again we need a united, industrial Association of America in order to help ourselves through the struggle of life; let us awake and look and see how we are being more and more handicapped. There are many things we can do for ourselves if we just start at it in the right way. Now, in most towns, we have no employment for our sons and our daughters when they come out of school. If they want to be mechanics, architects, bricklayers, carpenters, farmers, ranchmen, poultry raisers, fruit-growers, gardeners, merchants and so many other unnumbered positions they would be successful in; but they have nowhere to go. Our daughters could be stenographers, nurses, seamsters, laundress, clerks, bookers and many other more prominent positions, they could hold when they come out of college, but they have nowhere so go; so what good will their learning do without a place to use it! The white man has carried us long enough. It is now time we were doing something for ourselves. Our present merchants dentists, garagemen, doctors, seamstress, clerks and others are not making as they should because their customers are not making enough to pay for real service value. Now my good people, let us as a race from this day take quick action for the betterment of our race. Our ministers and churches are suffering, next our widows and orphans are neglected because there is not enough money circulating among us. I say, let us have a mass meeting to thiseffect from a company go before the magistrates of the land and get their approval, get a name for the concern and a charter, put our monies together and start an industrial association for ourselves that we may better our conditions, let it be an undemnational concern but for the help of the colored people not with mallice or prejudice against any color. Now I hope this will reach the hearts of all of our people and they will respond to the call of our great needs. I beg to remain a faithful servant to my people, willing to do my best with all honesty and sincerity. Any one interested, write or call, at 1302 E. Elm St, Wichita, Kansas Yours for the help of our people. L. J. LIGGINS. The J. B. C. Club. Wednesday afternoon, the members of Junior Bible Class met at the home of Mrs. H. Y. Jones.

JUNIOR TOPIC—God Calls Paul to Work in Europe. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC Flooring in Europe TOOING PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP 10—Paula Call to Europe. 1. Finding an Assistant for Paul (Acts 15:35-10:5). 1. Contention over John Mark (vv. 30-41). (1) Paula proposal (v. 30). This was to relict the scenes of their missionary endeavors to find out what progress the believers were making in their Christian experience. (2) Determination of Barnabas (v. 37). It was to take with them John Mark, Barn ibas' nephew ('col 4:10). (3) Paul's opposition (v. 35). He was suspicious of Mark because of his desertion on a former journey (Acts 13:13). (4) Their separation (sv. 20:41) (4) Their contention was so sharp that they separated God overruled this in client to the wider extension of the work Barmabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus; Paul chose Silas, and went through Syllab and Cilicia. 2 Finding Timothy (10:15). (1) The place (v. 1) It was the very place where Paul on his first journey had endured stoning. The conversion of Timothy may be regarded as fruitage of Paul's testimony at that time. (2) His parentage (v. 1) His mother was a believing Jewess and his father a Greek (3) His character (v 2) He had a good reputation in the church at Lusin and Ionium (4) His circumcision (v 3). Timothy had not been circumcised. Doubtless this omission was because his father was a clientile. To avoid offense among the Jews, Paul circumcised Timothy. (5) The ministry of Paul and Timothy through the cities (sv. 4, 5). They delivered decrees which had been ordained at the Jerusalem council (Acts 15:10-24). (6) Forbidden to Preach the Word in Asia (Acts 16:0-8). The inclination of Paul was to tarry in Asia Minor preaching the Word, but contrary to their inclination they were hurried along. The Holy Spirit is just as active and faithful in closing doors as in opening them. III. The Call to Macedonia (vv. 9 12). The time had now come for the gospel to begin its conquest of another continent. By the crossing of the gospel from Asia to Europe the church, instead of becoming an oriental movement, became mainly occidental. 1. The vision (v. 9). Being hemmed in on all sides, a vision was given to Paul of a man of Macedonia pleading for help, which made clear the meaning of the closed doors about him. 2. The advance (vv. 10-12) As soon as the divine way was known they moved forward. Visions, to be effective, must be quickly translated into aggressive action. IV. The First Convert in Europe (v. 13 15). The Jewish element in Philippi was so small that it was unable to afford a synagogue, therefore the devout people were accustomed to worship by the riverside. To a humble gathering of this kind Paul came and preached Lydia, a business woman from Thyaira, believed. The steps in her conversion are worthy of note, as typical. 1. Attendance at the place of worship (v. 13). Usually those whom God is calling are found at the place of prayer. 2. Listening to the preaching of the Word of God (vv. 13, 14). Faith coneth by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Hom 10;17) 3. Her heart was opened by the Lord (v. 14). Only the Lord can convert a soul. It is our business to preach the Word of God, and it is God's business to open the heart of the Inquirer Regeneration is a supernatural work. 4. She was baptized (v. 15). Every one whose heart the Lord has opened desires to confess Him in baptism. 5. Her household believed (v. 15). 6. Hospitality practiced (v. 15) Those who have experienced God's saving grace are disposed to have part in his work by rendering aid to his ministers Nowhere Else to Go I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.—Abraham Lincoln. Not Without Christ A man may go to heaven without health, without riches, without honor, without learning, without friends, but he can never go to re without Christ. — Sno layer. BY REV. J. W. HAYES. Subj. "How to Read the Bible" Perhaps it would be better to state the subject, "How to Study the Bible." It is said that the Germans mean study when they use the term read. For example, we read mathematics when really they mean we study mathematics. Be that as it may, we shall discuss, "How To Study The Bible." Our mental attitude in the study of the Bible should be the best possible. There is no study where clear, correct and deep thinking are more imperative than in the study of God's word. Our minds must be open, permitting, committing, admitting and submitting. As to our spiritual attitude, our devotional life should be raised to its highest power, that is, the student must have faith in the Bible, reverence for the Bible and love for the Bible. With the above named qualifications we are ready to proceed to study the Bible as a whole, seeking to know what it is all about. The continuity of the record is of great value and is best gotten when read as a book. God's dealing with man from start to finish and the eternal purpose in his dealings. Then we may study the Bible by characters. Here we select certain characters with and through whom God has worked in carrying through His redemptive plan. Abraham, for Again, we may study the Bible by books. Here we seek to know the example, the father of the people, contents of each distinctive Book and its relation to the whole Bible. We may also study the Bible by Doctrines, that is, find all that is said touching certain doctrines and the place of that doctrine in the redemptive program. All these methods have their place and value and all depend upon the mental and spiritual attitude of the student. The revealed message is wonderful, it is light, Psalms 119:105. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." The soul craves the divine law, paneth or teaches up. The soul pleads for God's attention and love also for freedom from the chains of sin. In verse 134 we have a petition and a promise, "Tre face of the Lord is toward us." This is a sign of His pleasure, but when His back (so to speak) is toward us it is a sign of His displeasure. Shall we not seek to have His face toward us? The soul desires to be taught of God and is impressed to keep His Law. If we would fully know and obey Him we should have a time, place; attitude and method to read or study, the Bible.

Dr. Alexander emphasized the extent and importance of intercultural cooperation, which, he said; has been productive of great goal in the past and has a future of even greater usefulness. He said that the success which has attended the education of Negroes in America has rendered an incalculable service to the world in stimulating and encouraging the education of backward peoples everywhere. The meeting was attended by a number of prominent white people of this community, who from the very first have been very sympathetic and helpful in building a complete road out to the propoerty, which will add greatly to its accessibility and convenience. The assembly, which has several hundred acres of gulf coast already well improved, has been promoted principally by Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans, as a great non-denominational summer conference and recreational grounds for the several million colored people within a radius of a few hundred miles. The success of it in society now seems assured. BUY- The H. T. GEEDER, M. D. Office 601½ N. Main Phone M. 3868 DISEASES OF WOMEN A SPECIALTY. Evening Hours 7:00 to 9:00 p. in Rea. 1225 N.

It is the good pleasure of Christ and the Father to us the Kingdom, and then us to influence this Kingdom, in every nation and in every heart of the world, we seriously take the work in kingdom building. You noble men and women of this great Kaw Valley District Association, lift up your eyes and behold the great field and realize your responsibility. As ministers (sages) as heralds of Christ, have Faith and Christian sunshine enough to brighten every book and circle of the work, which has been turned over to us to come upon, the night cometh, when no man can work. in research, history reveals that every nation has a day: the Macedonians closely linked by race to the Greeks, had remained in obscurity, while their southern kinsmen were having a sterring career. But in the middle of the 4th Century B. C. they came under the leadership of and assumed the helm of a ship who assumed the government of Macedonia in B. C. 400, asking, he sailed the business on a higher order. He identified himself with the Greeks, to conquer Greece, but to have Macedonia put on the heap as a Greek state in India. Step by step his ambition grew, until he saw more success for his people. Demosthenes, the Atheman ouster clearly perceived his motive, and be- gan to thunder out his warnings, but much of the Athenian pride and fervor, as a nation had gone, hence, they saw the danger, until too late. The Macedonians under Philip for twenty years, continued policy of war and intrigue, at last made him- self master or Greece. The mean cause of his success: First, his great military organization, so complete and powerful, until it became a re- lyce of the Athenian Empire. Second; He took the advantage of the invaded condition of Greece. The Macedonians saw no failure under Philip, and it much desine that you see none now, but let us organize and take the world for Christ, at least in Eastern kansas where we battling ground stands ready for all out actions. In this Kaw Valley, we have great leaders in our churches, men and women and women of the highest type of manhood and womanhood; born brought up in some of our best and reared in Christian homes, schools, colleges and seminaries in this country; in these characters you will find the greatest type of stian Civilization. Fail! Nol One of the greatest assets in the hope of our works is e Central Baptist Theological Seminary, Topeka, Kansas, presided over by Prof. E. L. Scruggs, D. D. who is Dean of that school. Men and women, educators all over this country and abroad, recognize Dean Scruggs in the front rank of educators. Everybody concerned in the educational field, should tally to this school. Send your young ministers there, your women for missionary work, home and abroad. This Association should take out a large stock in the kingdom of doing great work in this state. MOD, REV. D. R.

This is to be done at each Board meeting and at the Annual meeting of the Association. 2.

The church failing to represent in two years, will be eliminated by its action. THOUGHTS HERE AND THERE! The basket dinner and rally was a decided success spiritually and financially. In the morning service, Rev. C. Teal of Independence inspired us to more faithful discipleship. When he spoke enlightening of Christ's discipline and deportment. After a bountiful dinner Rev. C. Teal presented W. H. Sprone who spoke simply and earnestly on "Loyalty," he pictured Christ's loyalty as one example of loyalty to god, fellow man and government. Senator Congressman, C. W. Spencer was then presented and pictured beautifully, "the Fine Aristocracy," not many riches no social elevation denote aristocracy but refinement and education was the substance of his discourse, while he urged us to make a supreme struggle to obtain an education. Congressman Sproul is a home town man elected by us from the ard district and we take this opportunity to express our appreciation of his every willingness to come over and speak for us whenever we can upon him. We can not but feel highly honored and pleased the two eminent men such as he and Senator Spencer are in our midst and ever ready to lend us a helping hand by their presence and words of encouragement. Mr. W. A. Tennessy spoke welcoming of the loyalty of our group to him and in turn one and all praised him for his loyalty to our charm, how he has not only been a kind of father in tutor but a fellow laborer as well in the advisor of our church which he says if they listen to him shall never have "one dollar of mortgage" on it but shall be known as it now is "The Church hunt on Faith." He is candidate for probate judge. Then Mr. Edgar Rovedall was presented. He is the man who gave every one of the limestone rocks of when our church is wholly and beautifully constructed.

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 Con- LUMBER, MOULDING, FLOORING, WINDOWS AND DOORS AT THE MARSHALL LUMBER CO. "EVERYTHING FOR THE BUILDER" ```markdown ``` ventions 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 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 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 lead 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 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, A. W. ROSS, Executive Secy, and Supt. of Missions. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular? ASSOCIATION CHURCHES Churchen P. O.

HE electric light and power industry is regarded as a hazardous one. Yet Kansas Gas and Electric Company has fewer accidents than most large industries of its size. Why? Because every employee is taught the art of being careful, of avoiding accidents by taking precautions. When Kansas Gas and Electric Company started its safety first policy a few years ago, there was a feeling in some quarters that the move was made from purely selfish interests on the part of the company. But today, after giving close attention to the workings of the safety first campaign since 1922, the employees are awake to the fact that their interests are benefited more than the company's! Records have been kept during the last six years and the results are most interesting. In 1922, with a much smaller force than that employed today, there were 150 accidents recorded in the system.
