Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE DR. T. A. FLETCHER of Kansas City, Mo., The Eye, Nose and Throat Specialist WILL BE IN THE CITY SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1928, —AT THE HOME OF— REV. BROOKS, 719 N. WATER STREET. Any further information, Call D. 4609-W Vol. 21, No. 22, 'PLEASE' AND 'THANK YOU' (Freston News Service) ARROWS—BY R. A. ADAMS "Good manners will take you farther money will," is an axiom which has been repeatedly indicated in this age of excessive commercial sm. but it is one hundred per cent true, nevertheless. Whoever may doubt this may test it almost anytime and find it true. There are people who do not need money, yet, by politeness they might be influenced to confer a favor or render a service which otherwise would be impossible. Others there are who, though poor themselves, would spurn one's money yet would delight in serving a yellow-bearing whose gentlemanly bearing merited such consideration. One of the simplest forms of good manners is the use of those little words "PLEASE" and "THANK YOU," and believe it or not, they are dynamic in removing obstacles and in influencing favorable action. Many a competent and otherwise deserving person has been deprived of certain favors which were available because of lack of good manners. Because of the influence of good manners business firms require their employees to be polite, and no snob or grouch can hold a place of responsibility. Salespeople have found out that politeness pays, so that it is common to hear "May I wait on you, please?" and "thank you." Even in the South where Negroes are shown little consideration, it is not uncommon for white girls to say, "Sir," "Yes Sir" and "Thank you," to Negro men, because politeness wins trade, ima- Some one has said that the test of one's good manners is found in his conduct at home, and verily that is a logical and practical view. However, many who are scrupulously polite in public are positively boorish at home. Many Husbands At Fault Husbands are woefully at fault in this particular, and often it is the result of thoughtlessness rather than inclination to be ill-mannered. A wife recognizes her duty toward her husband and is willing to serve him in any reasonable way. Few wives will refuse service even when the husband is lacking in politeness and manifestation of appreciation; but the service is more pleasant when requests are made in words and tones of courtesy, and when the favor is recognized by "Thank You." Some Wives Unreasonabel Many wives are as unreasonable as many husbands in these matters. Some of them issue commands to their husbands, and they never think to thank them for favors done. Duty of Parent It is advisable that parents use "PLEASE" and "HANK YOU" in dealing with their children because good manners would require and because even children will serve more uncerely under such circumstances. The practice of politeness by father and mother toward each other and toward the children will enter into the training of their children who most certainly will watch their parents and emulate them. Yes, "PLEASE" and "THANK YOU" are very small words, but they are wonderfully potential in wining favors; and they are unmistakable indices of character and taining.

A. C. P. NEW YORK. Aug. 24—Long con- cluded segregation of colored bath- ers and visitors on the ocean beach at Asbury Park. New Jersey, has been decisively defeated by the branch there of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People it was announced today, under the leadership of the entire Executive Committee headed by the branch president, Dr. William J. Parks. For some years colored bathers had been confined to a small section of the beach. Then reports began to come to the N. A. A. C. P. that colored people on benches along the Asbury Park beach front had been re- quested by city police officers to "move down where the colored people belong." The Branch promptly drew up a letter to the Mayor protesting against this segregation of colored people along the beach. Two letters were taken to the Mayor of Asbury Park by the N. A. C. P. Committee, Dr. Parks reports: "There were no discussions following the reading of this letter. The Mayor simply asked what actions we wanted them to take. "The Mayor speaking for the Board gave us the assurance that colored people have the same rights and privileges on the beach as any other group of citizens, and that no orders have been given to the leseses or to any of the emiesaries of the Board to treat colored people differently from any other group and that no orders will be given to that effect." In the first letter to the Mayor, the Asbury Park N. A. A. C. P. said: "Our Association is organized and maintained for one purpose only—citizenship rights. As we view the matter the beach front is a public playground owned by the City of Asbury Paark and is for the use of everybody, just as are the streets or library square. Surely, you will not contend that you have the authority to say which side of a street colored or white people shall use. Then why which part of the beach? "We call your attention to the fact that no other sea-shore city in New Jersey has such an arrangement. Why should we? We can further state that we probably pay more taxes than the colored people of any other resort—Atlantic City not excepted. We do not feel that we should be made the laughing stock of the entire state by continuing to be Jim Crowed on our own beach. May we have a reply from you? Yours for a friendly adjustment." The branch committee, besides Dr Parks, included John A. Stewart, Thomas H. Murrav, Anna E. Jackson, Bessie A. Wallace, Dr. John H Hayes Bettie A. Carter, Louisa L. Upperman and Mabel Hendrickson. Dr. Parks states that the leseses of bathing concessions has been instructed not to discriminate against coloreed bathers and that he gave assurances to that effect. was harmoniously done and the same officers were elected. All enjoyed the paper by Mrs. Pearl White. Moderator Scott made a very approprate talk. Many were the distinguished visitors introduced. Wednesday night session was opened; devotion conducted by Rev J. R. Richardson. Rev. A. L. Branch delivered a strong sermon on "Regeneration." Thus passed into history an inspiring convention for the women, with Mrs. J. W. Gordon, President and Mrs. M. G. Glover, General Secretary. Association opened Thursday morning with Rev. Jas. H. Scott in the chair. It carried thru, the same theme: "Service" under Dr. J. R. Richardson. The opening of this session proved to be a concession and thanksgiving service and the Holy Spirit manifested His presence, Rev. W. F. Beatty gave his place on the program to Rev. Pettigrue of Nashville, Teen, a selected and appointed Missionary to Africa next year, to preach the Introductory Sermon. His message was well loaded with information from study and experience, well seasoned with the Spirit. The afternoon session was fired up by Shiloh, New Hope and Hillsdale.

Bradshaw, a large number of supporters if the REED OR GOVERNOR were present at 10.00 a. m. at his office to go over plans for the feasibility of having a Negro leader and a separate place, and to operate seperate y. It was decided to recommenl Atty. Bradshaw as our leader. That, it will be better for all concern to have our leader and his helpers in the same building with the other helpers on order to have the best contact and get the best results. A conference with Mr. Landrum, the new elected chairman revealed the fact that he will accept Atty. Bradshaw as his assistant and they will work out plans that will be best for the party interest.

Our visit to the State House party council meeting revealed the fact that the ranks are cementing for a great Republican fight and surely, they must fight if they would win because it is going to take a real battle to land the Republican ticket in any kind of decent shape. Many of the Hamilton supporters are lining up for Reed only those radicals who were so unreasonable in their attack until they would not be believed nor would they be of any good, are staying away. The fight is on for the Enl election; so let every person do his best to land the proper man in the proper place. Independence St. JOHN BAFTIST CHURCH Rev. F. W. Watkins, Pastor. R. F. W.

WILDA VANDERFORD, Rep. Services were good, Aug. 26 at 9:30 opened by Bro. Frank Proctor, with the staff of officers and teachers present. Class work 20 minutes: Re- 'STOP THE KILLING BETTER THAN PAY AS YOU KILL' (Industrial News Bureau) Compulsory automobile accident insurance, instead of reducing accidents would have the opposite effect, said Edson S. Lott, President of the United States Cavalry Company, in a recent address. According to Mr. Lett, a recent survey showed that 15,000,000 automobiles in the United States caused 600,000 injuries. Of the latter, 400,000 of the uninjured persons were themselves at fault, leaving but 33 1-3 per cent of the cases with possible indemnity. The consequence of such enforced insurance would be that 14,900,000 automobiles would be burdened with expense in order to provide for the possible 100,000 which would be entirely at fault. "We can't understand why accidents would be lessened by automobile insurance." Mr. Lott continued "On the contrary, persons compelled to carry insurance against their will would be inclined to be more careless." "I prefer a slogan of 'stop the killing' to 'pay as you kill.'" This opinion seems logical. It takes a peculiar mental process to reach the conclusion that, if a reckless or irresponsible driver is covered by an insurance policy that makes him safe from financial responsibility, he will immediately become careful or responsible. Compulsory insurance is a theory that would place a great burden on the majority of drivers, who are careful and capable, without cutting the evil it is aimed at. Osawatomie Doings Sunday School at Ebernerzer Flantist Church was well attended. Miss Junita Harrell taught class No. 1 Mrs. Florida White taught Class No. 2 at the absence of their teacher and Miss Early Mae Smith did the blackboard work. Review of lesson by Rev. M. J. Jackson.

Five Cents Per Copy A MOTHER'S PLACE IN THE HOME The home has been enshrined in poetry and song in many ages, yet what is home without a mother. She is the soul of the home, Its light, its life, the inspiration of the familiar refrain: "Be it ever so humble, There'n no place like home." Truly, mother is the home-maker, the home-keeper, the one who makes the home the dearest, the most reverent spot on earth, akin to heaven, when the home life is what it should be. Mother, home and heaven are a trinity that appeal to the best that is within us and which exalts us above the daily level of life. The Christian mother in a Christian home is the bulwark of our nation, the one safe and sure anchorage in time of storm and stress. The child reared in such a home, under such influence, is indeed blessed in so great a heritage and is the hope of the future. A Christian character, firmly implanted, will withstand the lashings of all the storms of life that may beset us, will rise triumphant above the waves of whatever unjust criticism that may engulf us. Such a life knows no delicat, no surrender, on.y to the will of the Divine Being. The mother in the home shapes the character of the children just as truly as the sculptor shapes the form of the matible upon which he carves with his chisel. In her home and church work she teaches, reverence and respect, which are the foundation stones of right thinking and right doing. No child so reared will ever transgress the rights of others nor will they violate the proprieties in any regard but will be respectful to all, old and young, and will have reverence for the ministry, the church and for all that partake of and belongs to our blessed Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. In such a home will be found the elements that make for the best in life, whether it be rich or poor, as we account it in things of this world. Such a home is rich in joy, in song, in laughter, in love, in helpful kindness, in happiness and in all elements that fit us for the future life. Rare indeed, does disobedience come out of such a home. It has been said that "law is not made for the obedient but for the disobedient," so that with more such homes in our land, there would be less need for law and the machinery for its enforcement. Obedience is better than sacrifice. "Honors thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord Thy God gaveth thee. This is the only promise of long life given in the Bible. Thus the character formed under a Christian home will contribute to length of our physical life, as well as to make our eternal life certain. While respect to both father and mother is essential, the mother is the more responsible in the home on her life is spent mostly there, while the father mingles more with the world in his daily task of providing for his family. The Christian mother is the first missionary to her children, teaching them of the true life and leading them in the path of righteousness. She has ever been a missionary in a broader sense, too, obeying the injunction; "Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." All honor to the Christian mothers of our nation and to the sanctuary of the Christian homes over which they preside. MRS. J. A. RUCKER.

Sunday School Lesson (By REV P H FITZWATER D.D., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago 10.12.1928 Western Newspaper Union 1 Lesson for September 2 PAUL PREACHING IN THESSALON ICA AND BEREA LESSON TEXT—Acts 17.1-18; I Thess. 8 18-21, Romans 15 18-20 GOLDEN TEXT—The entrance of thy words gives light PRIMARY TOPIC—Fault Finds New Friends and Foes JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Finds New Friends and Foes. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Paula Use of the Scriptures YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Paul Organizer of Churches 1. Preaching in Thessalonica (Acts 11:1-10). His method (2.5.1.2). He observed the divine order, "to the Jew first," but whenever they proved themselves unworthy he turned to the Gentiles. He went out on the Sabbath day so as to find them assembled together. 2. His message (v. 3). It was that Jesus is the Christ. In order to prove that Jesus is the Christ, he expounded unto them the Scriptures. Concerning Christ he set forth three propositions: (1) "That Christ must needs have suffered" (v. 3). The suffering Christ was not well comed by the Jews (1sa, 53). They were looking for a Messiah of a different type. (3) "That this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ." He declared that the historic Jesus whom he had proclaimed had suffered and risen from the dead, therefore He is the predicted Messiah. 3. The attitude of the Jews toward his preaching (iv. 410). While some Jews believed and many Greeks, the envy of certain Jews was so aroused at Paul's success that they gathered together the worthless fellows of the town and created a riot. They turned the preaching of Paul into a specious lie. He preached the king ship of Jesus (v. 7). Jesus is most assuredly coming to reign on this earth. 11. What He Preached at Thessalonica (I Thess. 5:120). He corrected certain doctrinal errors which had crept into the church. 1. They were not to sorrow unduly (v. 13). Because they failed to understand the meaning of Pauls preaching concerning the coming of the Lord they were indulging in excessive sorrow. They seemed to think that their loved ones who had died would miss the blessings and glory connected with the return of the Lord. 2. The events associated with the Lord's coming (vv. 13-18). In this section he gives the reasons why they were not to allow themselves to be overwhelmed with grief. (1) The departed salants will come back when Jesus comes (v. 14). Immediately following the death of believers their spirits go to be with the Lord where they remain in the state of blessedness until the Lord shall return to this earth, bringing them with Him. (2) The bodies of the dead in Christ shall come from the grave (v. 10). When the Lord comes there will be a real resurrection of the dead in Christ, before the change of the bodies of living believers. (3) Lying believers will be caught up together with those who have been resurrected (v. 17). 3. The time of the Lord's coming is unknown (5:1-11). We are commanded to be ready, to watch. III. Paul Preaching in Berea (Acts 17:10-15). 1. His method (v. 10). He entered the Jewish synagogue and preached Christ. 2. The reception of the Gospel by the Bereans (iv. 11, 12). (1) They received the message gladly. (2) They searched the Scriptures daily for the truth of the message which they had heard. 3. The wicked action of the Jews (iv. 1315). Wicked Jews from Thessalonica followed the missionaries and stirred up the people against them, making it necessary for them again to die. IV. Paul's Manner of Preaching (Rom. 15:1820). Wherever he went in the Gentile world he preached salvation through faith in Christ. God accompanied his ministry with mighty signs and wonders, with the object of making the Gentiles obedient to the Gospel. Paul's aim was to preach in new fields so as not to build on the foundation of another. Jesus and Preaching Jesus chose preaching as the method of extending the knowledge of Himself throughout the world He taught His truth to a few men, and then He said, "Now, go and tell that truth to other men."—Phillips Brooks. At the Door "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me."—Rev. 3:20. WHAT WE LEARN DURING VACATION What one learns during his vacation depends upon his opportunity and interest. If our vacation does not make us wiser, healthier and better, it does not do for us what it should. We should be recuperated and recreated when the vacation is over. It is not a matter of pleasure but the regaining of vitality and becoming more efficient. The place, time and purpose of a vacation have all to do with what one learns. We sometimes see during vacation that there are those of our live who do more and better work than we ourselves are doing. Our superiors in our line are splendid guides to our ideal. However, a complete change of thought and work is better for one who is recuperating and building tissue. Rest makes it possible for the rested to do more and better work. The Master said, Come ye apart and rest awhile, not all the time, but "awhile." We learn from vacation that unless our recess is directed it may do more harm than good. We learn that there are those who are doing the same work better than we are, doing it and that it is possible for us to do our work better and do more of it. Jesus and His three key discipels went away from the crowd into a higher and holier atmosphere. They had rest from the surging multitude and inspiration from the celestial group. A fire vocation indeed. In the mountain top experience they had on association composed o. messengers from the church militant and the church triumphant. So striking was the program that Peter offered a motion that the meeting continue indefinite. Jesus, however remembered the hungry multitude waiting at the foot of the mountain for the Bread of Life. So are those whom we serve, waiting for our return to give more efficient and more effective service. Suddenly the meeting closes, a cloud pronounces the benediction and a voice calls attention to Jesus as the central figure and the climax of this celestial glory. This is my beloved Son, Hear Ye Him.

MUST REGULATE THE DRIVER MUST REGULATE THE DRIVER (Industrial News Bureau) Some affirmative legislative action must be taken to abate reckless driving and safeguard against automobile accidents on the highways. In 1927, excluding accidents at railroad crossings and with street cars, 22,251 fatalities occurred from automobile accidents. One out of every four fatal accidents involved automobiles. An analysis shows that in 5,581 instances the driver disregard signals; 4,280 resulted from cutting in; 3,859 drove off roadway; 7,451 exceeded speed limit; 7,247 on wrong side of road; 1,281 in passing standing street car; 691 passing on wrong side; 938 making wrong turn; 631 passing on curve or hill; 574 disregarded officers' signals; 382 drove through safety zone; 19,720 did not have right of way; 1,750 disregarded arterial stops. The usual remedy suggested by those unfamiliar with the situation is elimination of railroad grade crossings and grade crossing accidents are responsible for but a small proportion of total fatalities. Removal of all grade crossings would further burden the people with taxation without remedying the main causes. If accidents are to be reduced and driving on the highways made reasonably safe, there must be written into our statutes regulations which by driving qualifications will prevent the reckless, inexperienced, or physically incapacitated individual from obtaining a driver's license. railroad crossings, boulevards and densely traveled intersections and highways should be made arterial stops. With nearly 24,000,000 licensed automobiles in this country and increasing every day, and with about 95,000 accidental deaths occurring in 1927, of which 22,251 resulted from automobiles on the highways, the time has come when, for the public safety and welfare, definite and remedial action must be seen to curb primary conditions re- SARDIS BAPTIST CHURCH Mon.

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 Con- ```markdown ``` LUMBER, MOULDING FLOORING, WINDOWS AND DOORS AT THE MARSHALL LUMBER CO.

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 a nd money to apply on National Convention requirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Officers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please read this letter to the Church and ad them forth in this much needed and butiness-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the 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 care 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.

POLICE LYNCHED HOUSTON NEGRO SAYS REPORT IN 'VARIETY' POLICE LYNCHED HOUSTON NEGRO SAYS REPORT IN 'VARIETY' NEW YORK, Aug. 25. A hitherto unpublished report saying that the lynching of a Negro in Houston Texas, just before the Democratic convention convened there, was engineered by local police is relayed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People from "Variety" for Wednesday, Aug. 1. The report of the Houston lynching in "Variety" reads as follows: LYNCHING AT HOUSTON "An unprinted story of the lynching of a colored man in Houston by policemen of that city, just prior to the Democratic Convention, seems to have been known by all the newspaper men in attendance, notwithstanding. It was on account of the correspondents that the rope beeing was smothered over by the authorities. It would not sound nice, they decided for the world to know that Houston policemen violated the very lynch law that the South has been trying to square for years. "A night or so before the Convention opened a cop and a Negro fired shots at one another. Both were hit taken to a hospital where the officer died. Later the same night five of the dead cop's uniformed companion went to the hospital where the still unconscious Negro had been taken, removed and hung hjm from a bridge near the outskirts of the city. His body was cut down next morning. "That the cops had done it spread over the inside of the city. Houston's Mayor, it is said, in the dilemma, thought to bespeak the advice of four other Texas Mayors on how to hush up or keep quiet about the cops as the lynchers. Only one reply contained a suggestion thought worthwhile. That is said to have come from the Mayor of Dallas. It suggested any other five men be pinched and held until after the Convention ended. "Accordingly, from the story, the police of Houston picked up five local vagrants on the lynching charge, told them to behave or they would get the limit afterward, otherwise later let loose, and even made one of them write a confession. "As far as any of the newspaper men know, that was the end of the Houston beeing." Abilene Interests Told Sunday was Rally Sunday all day Rev, Smith preached us a wonderful sermon.

Normal exercise and diet habits should be encouraged. But when necessary there's no harm in taking nujol, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol should always be taken. Take a spoonful every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or gas pains or gripping." Nujol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are feeling because it is so pure and harmless, and works so easily. Every woman should keep a bottle on hand. Every druggist has this remarkable substance.
