THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 21, No. 31, OKLAHOMA STATE CONVENTION The Baptist State Convention of Oklahoma met in Oklahoma City, with the Tabernacle Baptist Church, Dr. E. W. Perry, Pastor, Oct. 24-28. The program and its renditions were good. The two outstanding features were, Education and Mission. The educational work centers around the Oklahoma Baptist College, Muskogee, Okla., Dr. Wood, President. More than $1500 were raised for the work. Dr. Woods delivered a very able address touching the work, and Rev. Frazier gave us a very able Educational Sermon. Rev. Whitaker, Supt. of Missions made his report, which was full of information and very inspiring. Rev. Whitaker's clear action and sincere interest in that work make him especially efficient. The annual address by the president, was said to be the best he has delivered during his administration. It covered in a very unique way the entire field. The entertaining church was at its best. It was cordial and seemed to get delight in going out of the way to make us feel welcome. This church has been constructed during the pastorate of Dr. Perry and has comparatively small debt upon it; notwithstanding it is valued at $100,000. Dr. Perry is also president of this great Baptist host. Dr. Perry is one of the best balanced men, (in my judgement) I have ever met, and he is as fair as any president I have ever known. He adjusts himself to men and conditions with perfect ease. I was, by his invitation a visitor at the meeting and he spared no pains to make it pleasant. It was my pleasure to stop with my good friend Dr. Leath. He and his good wife even went out of the way to make me happy. The Oklahoma brethren were very congenial and made me feel that I was among my brethren. May God bless them all. URGENT APPEAL Clyde M. Reed, Republican nominee for governor, today issued a statement appealing for the election of Republican senators and representatives to the state legislature without exception. Reed's statement was issued in time to catch the Kansas Weekly press. It will be his last formal statement except such as he may make for the daily papers at the very close of the campaign. The statement follows; "Often times when the constructive program of a party is endorsed heartily at the polls failure to make that program law is attributed to the party leaders. If it is possible to prevent it I do not propose to have that state of affairs. I am definitely and unequivocally urging the people of Kansas who believe in the republican party's platform and who believe in me as an advocate of that program to elect a state senate and a house of representatives whose members are committed overwhelmingly to the adoption of the program. "The program which I had been carrying to the people of Kansas was approved by a primary plurality which indicates without doubt that the people of Kansas are interested in proposed legislation and action affecting freight rates, agriculture, taxation, public utility regulation, roads, waterways, safety standards, and economy. This may have surprised some people. Once the first action from their surprise had been ended, in certain parts of this state those surprised and disappointed people began an extensive campaign, none the less effective because it is on the quiet, to defeat all part of this program by electing Democratic stumbling blocks instead of Republican legislators. "Carrying out a program is a matter of party-responsibility. The leader can not escape his conviction that it is his duty to lead. He cannot lead, however, if the people elect legislators who do not intend to follow the program. For that reason I hope the people of Kansas in every senatorial district and in every representative district will put party above person. I want the Republicans of Kansas to control the legislature. I do not want Democratic senators blocking that control because of their allegiance to cliques and crowds as opposed to their rightful allegiance to the people. There is danger in certain districts of this state that the people may overlook mopping up the battle field after victory. Stragglers, skulkers and guerillas can undo the work of a victorious army. If you approve the program you approve the party—If you approve the party you approve the party man. Let's elect the Republican." RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION SUCCEEDING Willis J. Hockett, Class 1928, Wichita High School, has been elected by the Freshman Class, as their representative on the Student Council, at Tuskegee Institute, in Ala. He is also a member of the Foot-Ball Team, and his name has been seen by his friends in Wichita, in the sport columns of the Negro Press, in connection with some of Tuskegee's main games. It should be mentioned that Tuskegee, has won the Southern Championship for four straight years. YMCA ONE of the fine Recreational events of the season, was the Halloween Party, given by the B. T. W. Hi-Y club, Tuesday, Oct. 30, at Camp Hyde. Two large mordern buses took the young folk to and from Camp Hyde. Six other parties drove in private cars. Over 75 persons attended. The lodge was well decorated, and plenty of season's refreshments were served. Great credit is due the Hi-Y boys under the leadership of their energetic president, Jas. Anderson, for this fine outing. S NO ARGUMENT TO THIS "So your name is George Washington," mused the old lady. "Yassum," replied the small col- oed box. bored by.

PURSUE OUR STUDY COURSES PURSUE OUR STUDY COURSES We are making strenuous efforts to advance the work in our CHRISTIAN CULTURE COURSE. This course covers a period of eighteen months. We use some of the very best text books in print. A study of those books is calculated to increase the general intelligence among Baptist young people, and to give them a firmer grasp on the doctrines, polity, and missionary endeavor of the denomination with which they are identified. regular examinations are conducted from this office by means of correspondence, and Graduating Certificates are issued when the work has been completed in accordance with the plans of our Educational Committee. Systematic study is always advantageous. It is highly probable that we will have thirty-five graduates from this Course by the time the Congress meets in Charleston, South Carolina. We might increase that number if all the applicants for Graduating Certificates stick to their task and meet the requirements. Substantial knowledge is a valuable asset to the person who has it. It means a great deal for men and women who are engaged in religious work, whose duty it is to direct the activities of religious organizations. We should have a larger number of candidates for the C. C. C. degree. Let any who contemplate taking it or who wish to try the experiment, rend us an application to the Board's headquarters in Nashville, and we shall be pleased to give them all the necessary information. E. W. D. ISAAC, Secretary. The members of the club held their meeting Wednesday afternoon in the home of Mrs. Thos. Morris. Devotions were led by Mrs. C. E.

FRIDAY, Nov. 2, 1928 THE POINT OF VIEW THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL TREE There was an apple tree which had grown to mammut hsize. No care was bestowed upon it for many years. It was not appreciated by its owner. It was covered with suckers and half-grown fruit when a new owner took possession. He pruned it and mulched it and sprayed it and cut out the dead branches. He said to himself as he worked over it: "This tree is of good stock. It ought to bear good fruit. Let us see what science will do for it." But in the end the tree had to be cut down. It would not carry its apples. In the "June apple drop" runny came off and others kept ever falling. The owner went out each morning and picked up the green, puckery fruit, looked at the tree, and shook his head and said: "A brilliant youth. Now the tree should be good for something, but it is wrathless." Scale will kill it. No amount of attention will make it worthwhile. It is so with some men. They grow luxuriantly in youth, they exhibit wild habits and are proud of them. When they come to themselves they employ all the resources of science and sanitation in the hope of rehabilitating themselves respectable and well thought of. But every day some such men are passing out of life's usefulness like the wan- "tree, never having regained their lost power nor reached that higher degree of usefulness which, like the prodigal tree, would have been theirs had years of their life not been wrongly spent. PARKES CADMAN FEARS BABBLERS MORETHANYOUTH PARKES CADMAN FEARS BABBLERS MORETHANYOUTH "There is nothing new in what has been termed the revolt of years," said Dr. Parkes Cadman, vouth. It happens every fifty President of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, in a recent Y. M. C. A., Address. "If the revolt is more extensive now than formerly" he said, "this is because the channels of information and expression are now more numerous for old and young, and because youth is embittered by the collapse of a social system which promised much and then blew up. Disillusioned by a gigantic blood-letting ending in an unjust peace, is it any wonder they rebelled?" "The real youth movement is sound," the speaker said, and "we have babbling admirals and hidebound capitalists or industrialists than from the prophetic liberalism of young people." "But modern youth." Dr. Cadman said, "is assailed by 'shallowness and cynicism from manifold and subtle sources,' and the home, 'the living nuclus of all social order.' has not met the crisis." "Make your homes the repositories of God's Grace, the transmitting agencies of these fine traditions which have upraised nations from lust and savagery. Severed from these traditions the child must face the fight between Christ and Belial, disarmed and fearful." Y.W.C.A. ANNUAL FALL CARNIVAL Y. W. C. A. Annual Fall Carnival will be held at 818 N.

Bracken, minister from Bakersfield, Calif., came to Garden City, October 8, and began a 10 days' meeting. Much success was gained and four members were adder; two to be baptized. We surely appreciate the help of the assisting churches and the sermon of the presiding elder and Rev. Haller, pastor of the A. M. E. Church. We may that the spirit continue. At the close of the meeting, Rev, E. B. Bracken was called to pastor the Ebenezer Bapt. Church. The good members have arranged for the coring of the pastor's wife, who will arrive Friday, Nov. 2. He has begun to lay his program for the year's work. Since Rev. Bracken arrived the church has progressed greatly. The pastor asks that all the young folk be present Sunday to organize a B. Y. P. U. In spite of the cold and rain last Monday night, a large and enthusiastic audience gathered at New Hope Church to hear attorney Wm. Bradshaw, assistant chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, speak in the issues involved in the present campaign. Mr. Bradshaw had the attention of the audience from the moment he began to speak, and was greeted with applause from time to time, until he closed. Many were the compliments he received from his hearers who came to the rostrum to shake his hand and praise him for the clear and concise manner in which he presented the things most vital to us in this campaign. The meeting was under auries of the Women's Hoover-Curtis, Republican Booster Club, organized by Mrs. Ida E. Bates, National Organizer of Colored Women's Clubs in Kansas, who is interesting and highly instructive address to the women present, as well as some timely words to the men voters. Mrs. Bates spoke but a few minutes in order to allow Attorney Bradshaw, more time for his speech. The President, Mrs. A. Ford, presided, made some very fitting introductory remarks, and then turned the meeting over to Capt. S. W. Jones, who introduced the nominees for the various county offices and Ion. Wm. Bradshaw, speaker of the evening in his usual entertaining way. The Coleridge Taylor Ladies' Glee Club, and Male Quartet under direction of Miss Dorothy Sims rendered some solendid vocal numbers which were highly appreciated by the audience which filled the auditorium. Ice cream was served the ladies present, while cigars were passed to the men. All in all, it was one of the most enthusiastic meetings of its kind held in Wichita, in a good many years. In Emporia. Charles Stewart has returned home; he has been working in broom corn of Manter, Kansas PARTY MEETINGS The following is a small outline of our political marks for this week: Monday night we met in the school building at Coffeyville, where practically every seat was taken; The junior brass band gave some excellent music; the women's quartet gave the music the finishing touch. In this meeting we had the full co-operation of the County Central Committee. Mr. Phil Haney was present and took active part in the meeting. Dr. Fertbee was the outstanding leader among our people there. Dr. Butler, the Mayor of Independence, and all the County Nominees were present. Mrs. Towers made a very good talk. More than 200 were present. At Newton, Kansas, there is a division, seemingly in the party; but we had a very fine meeting. Between 75 and 100 persons were present, who left the meeting fully determined to put over the party. About as many or more whites were present as colored. The County officers' (nominees) were present. An Eldendale through a downpour At Eldorado, through a downpour JUST KIDS— Next By Ad Carter WHACK! WHACK! OW! DUCH!! WHACK!

'GREAT CREATOR' MAKE 'GREAT CREATOR' MAKE From the everyday peanut Prof. Gen. Washington Carver, has taken 202 useful articles of amazing variety —everything from axle grease to face cream. (Continued from last week) Clipping from Farm & Fireside ders he works in his laboratory is Professor Carver himself. "How," I asked, "have you gone about to find out what could be maje atom peanuts?" The reply was dramatic. The most direct and forthright of minds is his a brain that operates with the bearest simplicity. "Why, I just took a handful of peanuts and looked at them. "Great Creator," I said, 'why did you make the peanut?' "Why" "With such knowledge as I had of chemistry and physics I set to work to take the peanut apart: I separat ed the water, the fats, the oils, the gums, the resins, sugars, starches, pectoses, pentoses, pentonans, legu- men, lysin, the ameno and amedo acids. "There! I had the parts of the peanut all spread out before me." "Then I merely went on to try different combinations of those parts under different conditions of temperature, pressure, and so forth. "The result was what you see—these 202 different products, all made from beans!" A simpler or more perfect explanation of chemical explanation of chemical analysis and synthesis could not be made than this, offered by a modist and reverent scientist in describing his most astonishing accomplishment. "I took up this line of research," Carver explained, "after a Tuskegee lady, a large landowner, asked me to come talkwith her about the agricultural problem that arose with the (Continued on page three) Cherryvale Newsies BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH BATH HYDRATION RUTH WHEATON.

Per Copy CLARK DEFEATS MOREHOUSE ATLANTA, GA., Oct. 27—Clark Unniversity with its team of flashy backs met the big Maroon team here today in a game unequaled in thrills during the season. When the final whistle blew the count was standing 7-6. Morehouse got off with an early start making their touch down after 7 mum of play, an attempt to kick the extra point failed. Morehouse came near scoring again in the 2nd quarter when a pass was missed in the end zone. During the first half Hakins Morehouse End made two beautiful recoveries of Clark fumbles. The half ended 6-0 Morehouse. Clark team came back with much vim in the second half, for in two plays they carried the ball from 40 yard line to Morehouse 22 yard line where the big Maroon team held them for downs. Three plays gave Morehouse first down then they punted out of danger. Johnson and Chambers of Clark started another drive that gave them their touch down. Baker kicked the extra point. In the last quarter Morehouse started a drive that would have probably given them a touch down but Clark intercepted a pass and Morehouse chances died. The big Maroon line gave a wonderful display of grit and fight although handicapped by the loss of Allen guard, who had preformed wonders in the line until he was hurt and had to be removed from the game, they did their best to stop the runs on Clark's fleet backs. Lattimer, Allen, Persons and Edmonds played fine for Morehouse while Baker, Chambers, Johnson and Dupree were excellent for Clark. Both teams displayed the type of clean hard and clever foot ball that can be enjoyed by all. Calvary Baptist Church 7 a. m. "Family Watch." Restore and Perpetuate the Family Altar.

MAIL US $1.50 FOR ANOTHER YEAR Improved Uniform Sunday School Lesson BY REV P. B. FITZWATER D.D. Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago 12. 1928 Western New York Univ. Lesson for November 4 WORLD'S TEMPERANCE SUNDAY LESSON TEXT→Romana 13.1.14 GOLDEN TEXT→Love worketh no ill to his neighbor therefore love is the fulfillment of the law PRIMARY TOPIC—Obedience to Law JUNIOR TOPIC—Obedience to Law INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Reasons for Prohibition YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—standing for Law Enforcement 1. The Christiar's Obligation to the State (vv. 1-7). The believer in Christ is a citizen as well as a Christian. Intelligent Christians will be loyal to the state as well as to the church. It allows to recognize this has brought Christianity into disrupte in many quarters. 1. Obligation to rules (vv. 1+) This obligation is upon all Christians. The reason is that civil government is ordained of God and rulers are his representatives. To refuse obedience to civil authority is to resist God. This does not mean that a Christian at the behest of the state should do that which is inherently wrong. Submission to rightly constituted authority is the law of the believer's life, not only because God is the source of civil authority, but because it was ordained for beneficent ends. 2 The spirit in which the Christian renders obedience to rulers (v. 5) He should regard it as his obligation, not merely because it serves a good purpose, but because it is morally right. It is a conscientious obligation to obey lawful rulers. 3. Method of expressing this obdience (as 6. 7) (1) In the payment of personal and property taxes. The citizens who enjoy the benefits of government is morally bound to support it. (2) Payment of duty upon merchandise and license fees. The business exchange between nations must be regulated. For such regulations expense is incurred for which benefit the citizen should pay. (3) Veneration of magistrates ("fear to whom fear"). "Those who have the fear of God in their hearts will generate their rulers, God's representatives." (4) "Honor to whom honor." This means that civil officers should be honored because of their service. II. The Christian's Obligation to His Fellow Citizens (v. 8, 10). This is summed up in the word "love." This obligation is perpetual. The only debt which is right to owe is that of love. The discharge of this obligation forbids: (1) Defending in matters of property (v. 8). (2) It forbids going into debt with no certainty of being able to meet one's obligation. (3) It forbids defrauding in matters of moral purity (v. 9). Where the life is under the power of love, adultery cannot be committed. (4) It forbids murder. (6) It forbids coveting. (7) It forbids the working of any ill to one's neighbor III. The Supreme Motive Governing the Life of the Christian (s. 1114) The attitude of the Christian is that of eager expectance. There is no time for slumber or indifference. The time of salvation is drawing near. The salvation here mentioned is not that which we obtain in justification and sanctification, but is that which we get when our redemption is completed in glorification at the second coming of Christ. Redemption is therefore: 1. Justification through faith in the blood of Jesus. 2. Sanctification through the obedience of the Word. 3. Chlorification, when the futility of redemption shall be realized at Christ's second running. The reasons for this attitude of expectancy are that the night of Christ's absence is far spent and the day of His glorious appearing is at hand. The proper conduct in view of this is: 1. To put off the works of darkness (v. 12), which are revelling, drunkenness, dumbness, wanniness, strife and jealousy. The child of light will not walk in drunken carousels, will not practice licentious acts and debauchery, neither engage in strife, nor be under the spell of jealousy. 2. Put on the armor of light (v. 12). The figure here is of the Roman soldier who wore from sleep and put on his slumber robes and put on his gleaming armor. 3. Put on the Lord Jesus Christ (v. 14). This means to enthrone Jesus Christ as the Lord of the life, to bring the life under his control. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.—Paul. The Lord Dwells There Every home may be a vestibule of heaven because the Lord dwells there. —A. G. Dixon. Fighting and Praying He fights best who prays best.—J. W. Lee. BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue SUNDAY NOVEMBER 4, 1928. Subject: "In What Ways Do We Waste Our Time?" Text, Eph. 5:16; I'm. 90:12. Time is a gift from God. It is a period of duration in which one is to do a life's work. Just time enough, not a minute more. Providence moves us forward through doors of opportunity, and time locks the door behind us. Therefore we cannot go back. Man is a steward of time. He should measure it with accuracy and use it with economy. A dollar spent may come again unto our hands, however, it never brings the same opportunity but moments never return. They may pass us unheeded and leave us the poorer if unwisely spent. We may waste time by reading bad literature or even poor literature. We may waste time in idle conversation. We may waste time by attempting to do things before we are prepared. By trying to do two days work in one; by careless haste, by working without a definite object and plan. THOUGHTS Each moment is valuable, what a low to waste ane. If you had your life to live over, what you and your time more wisely? Most adults have wasted enough time to have acquired a liberal, education and money enough to have in a well off. Never say you haven't time to do what is your duty. Never ask others for their time, unless it is to be wisely spent. Not how long you live, but how well. If each one had the time he has wasted to add to his remaining days how much longer his life would be. JUNIORS' SUBJECT: Subject: "Willingness to Forgive." Text: Eph. 4:31,32. To forgive is divine. It a man has not enough of God in him to forgive he is beyond the reach of Gods forgiveness. To forgive is impossible unless you are willing. Willingness to forgive in the badge of a Christian. We should forgive therefore, because Christ taught it, we should forgive because it is the only way to be happy. We should forgive, we have been forgiven. We should forgive because often the wrong done us (or we think done us) is not as great as the wrong done others. Right relation with God puts us in an attitude to forgive. Tell story of Joseph forgiving his brothers. Sunday, Oct. 28th, was a high day at Mount Zion. The Mission Ladies had the meeting in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. A. G. Mason, of Strong City, and Rev. Danzy of Emporia, Pastor of St. James Baptist Church, were with us, also some of the members. Rev. Danzy read for Scripture lesson. Acts 8:1-15; song, "Must Jesus Beat The Cross Alone?" Rev. Danzy offered player, song. Rev. M. Na close for text, Acts 8:4; he preached a very instructive sermon. Rev. Danzy made a short talk which was very timely and appreciated by the audience. We are always glad to have Rev. A. G. Mason with us; he is a good speaker. We always welcome Rev. Danzy and his people. He is a fine speaker. Mr. Ralph Armstead and wife of Emporia, and Mr. Jeff Clay and wife of Chicago, were the guerts of Mr. and Mrs. Morris for Sunday dinner. Afternoon, they went to church for services. Mrs. Murry and Mrs. Gray attended the services at Mount Zion, Sunday. Mrs. Essex of K. C., Mo., was home visiting her son and wife, for a few days; she also attended the services. Mrs. Howard of Salina, was visiting her sister-in-law, Mrs. Jennings and sister, Miss Verdie Williams. Mr. George Lowery motored to Emporia, Sunday. Mrs. Sarah Mitchell and husband are visiting in Lawrence, this week. Mrs. Della Lee is still in the hospital; is better at this writing. We are praying that she may get her health again. Her mother is still at her bedside. Mr. and Mrs. Lowery had entertained company from Herrington. NOTICE!
