THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE C Miss Mildred Griffin, daughter of Mrs. V C. Griffin, and one of our own very dear young girls of Wichita, gave up a very good position as League Social Work, and chose a much higher calling—that of spreading mission in dark Africa. Since that time, she has been ever busy, visiting the different church, associations and conventions, trying to show the religious public, the urgent need of letting Africa have more Gospel light. She has been very warmly and cordially recounted all the really true heart Christmas and many from other walks of life, because of her sincerity in the work she is doing. Chief her leader and guide, she must succeed. As much as her hands, mother, sisters friends, and church workers feel the loss to be sustained by her going, they are daily praising for her success, and on last Sunday afternoon at New Hope Baptist Church (to which she is faithful member) under auspices of the Ministryal League, she was created with an overflow audience, from the other churches, and city as a singing gifts and bidding goodbye to one with whom they had A POEM FOLLOWS Onite a few letters, cards, telegrams etc; came in to the family of the late Rev. R. T. Sims, of Canton. Mrs. too late to be included in the publication among them was this very appropriate poem on card of Sympathy from Mrs. Minnie Owens, of Fort Scott, Kansas: HE IS JUST AWAY I cannot say and I will not sav That he is dead. He is just away! With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand. He has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs be, since he lingers there. And you—Oh you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return. Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of there as the love of here. Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead—He is just away! COMING The Men's Gice Club of Fifth University, Nashville, Tenn., will appear in Wichita, on Wednesday, January 9th under auspices of the Phyllis Wheatly Children's Home.

Miss Griffin's mother came from Colorado, for the meeting and spoke very touchingly on being a widow and six children to rear, how she had to work and manage to make it and how the children had endeavoured to do what they could to help. A sister, Mrs. Mabel Pryor of Topeka, was also present. Miss Griffin is only 27 years of age most of that time in the service of the Master.

GONE TO REST The sad news comes to us that Mr. J. B. Prince, a respected Christian citizen of Greenwood, Miss., passed away Nov. 20, at his home, after a few weeks' illness. He was a faithful member of McKinney Chapel Baptist Church, and was Supt. of the Sunday School many years. He was a member of the choir, and in fact worked in all the departments of the church. He leaves a wife, son, a sister and an aged mother-in-law, in mourning, who have the sympathy of a host of friends throughout the country. CALLED TO REST Mrs. Dock Kelley, an old and much loved Christian citizen was called from labor to reward, after a brief illness of about two days with pneumonia. Mrs. Kelly was faithful to her Christian duties and for some time had an invalid husband to care for, which went for toward wearing a veins down to where she was not able to bear the grip of pneumonia. She leaves this sick husband, a son, brother, sisters, neices and a number of sympathizing friends. PASSED TO HIS REWARD PASSED TO HIS REWARD Mr. Arthur Kaley, 1423 Ohio Ave., after a continued illness since June, was called away, Dec. 4th.

HAYES IN RECITAL A MARVEL HAYES IN RECITAL A MARVEL Tenor Gives Keenest Enjoyment to Vast Audience By Warren Storey Smith Simpone Hall co ld scarcely have held more people than yesterday afternoon assembled there to hear and later aplaud Roland Hayes, after an absence more prolonged than usual and with laurels from Holland, and Russia, added to those already gained. And seldom has a recital of Mr. Hayes afforded keener, more continuous enjoyment. IN HAPPIEST VEIN Now and again in the past Mr Hayes' voice has proved at the outset of a concert somewhat recalcitrant, but yesterday he sang freely and easily from the first. Indeed, in the second and third pieces, Carlati's "Chi vuole innamorarsi" and Handel's "Oft on a plat of rising ground," he was in his happiest vein. Since the name of Schubert is seldom absent from the programme of a song recital it might not be accurate to say that Mr. Hayes was yesterday purposely doing his portion in the current centenary rites for that composer. Be that as it may, four song by Schubert made his 2nd group, and the composer was fity honored both in the choice of songs, three of them from the mature 'Winters Journev' cycle and in the singing of the. Not easily will those who heard it yesterday forget Mr. Hayes' singing of the tragic "Die Krache" and "Die Nebensonnnen." Here is the greater Schubert, the tone-noet of sadness unexcelled and unapproached and few are the singers who can realize as completely as did Mr. Hayes yesterday the poignancy of such songs, at the same time adhering to the highest standards of musical beauty. From Schubert of the "Winterreise" to any song from an English-speaking composer is of necessity a step downward. But in Avery Robinson's "Shadow," and even more especially in Gerald Tyler's "Ships that pass in the night." Mr. Hayes had found for yesterday's programme songs that both called forth and reward his best efforts. In these rounds the mood of melancholy established by the Schuhert Hilden was sustained nor was it wholly dispersed by the ensuing Spirituals which Mr. Hayes sees fit to treat, not as seminumerous pieces but as the expression of a deep if naive and rather wilful religious emotions. Even in "Fearful saw wheel," Mr Hayes did not yesterday depart from this tone of spiritual fervor. It should be added that two of these Spirituals had been arranged by Perennial Pasham, the excellent occidentian of the afternoon and one by Mr. Hayes himself. In the art of indenting these pieces to the theme of the concert room the musicians of African descent leave their Caucasian rivals far in the rear. ST. PAUL A. M. E CH. At 11 p. m., our pastor, Rev. J. H. Grant concluded his series of sermons on "The Burning of the Magical Books," that have interested and impressed, large congregations who attend the services.

ROLAND HAYES SINGS TO GREAT NEW YORK AUDIENCE ROLAND HAYES SINGS TO GREAT NEW YORK AUDIENCE Highest Praise From Every Newspaper (Recital in Carnegie Hall, Nov. 15) (Recital in Carnegie Hall, New York Times—"Toland Hayes sang to the largest concert audience Carnegie Hall has held this season at the Negro tenor's recital last night. "A world-wide acclaim long since had left untouched the slight, urbane figure, the deferential dignity, the absorption and deep spirituality of an art of song that now again, as often before, clutched at the throats of enthralled hearers and drew their tears." New York World—(Samuel Chotzinoff—"What lifts Mr. Hayes above all other singing artists of his race is, his possession of a musical instinct as refined as a Frenchman's, as lyric as an Italian's, and as fundamental as a German's. Add to this his own native intensity of feeling and the combination make for a vocalist unique among recitalists, either white or black." New York Evening World—(Richard L. Stokes):—"An audience such as celebrities of the rank of Fritz Kreisler alone succeeded in enticing to 'the Hall, last night filled aisles and platform, as well as the boxes, parquet and galleries, to attend upon the art of Roland Hayes, son of a former slave" New York Sun:—"Mr. Hayes sang as well and without doubt better than in any of his previous recitals here. He sang with a remarkable command of mezzo voce nuance, sensitive phrasing and beautiful legato." New York Telegram—(Flitts Sanborn):—"The superior quality of his diction, his fine feeling for legato and for grace of phrase, the sheer beauty of his voice in mezzo voce, the poise that marks his delivery never have been more delightfully in evidence."

PREVENT HOLIDAY FIRES HOLIDAY FIRES (Industrial News Bureau) How terrible it is to read newspaper accounts of fires at Christmas time. This is the happiest season of the year, especially for children, but fires often bring suffering and death, creating a roaring furnace of flames where but a short time before had been a joyous home. Yet simple precautions will prevent holiday fires; When using a candle in your window, be sure it is an electric one, properly wired, as they are generally safe. If you have a Christmas Tree, set it up securely so it cannot topple ever. Don't place it near heating or lighting fixtures. For trimming the tree use only noncombustible materials such as metal tinsel, flake asbestos and powders for snow effects. For illuminating the tree, lighted candles should never be use. Properly installed electric lights are safer and give a colorful effect, but safest of all is a colored spotlight, focused on the tree. Again it is necessary to caution smokers to be careful with their matches and smoking materials near trees and decorations. Of course, keep matches out of the reach of small children. formerly of Salina, is the guest of Mrs. Pearl Payton.

Five Cents Per Copy THE NEW YORKER At the outset, I only wish to be frank, relative to what I have to say, and if possible, thoroly understood. I have no axes to grind, there are no skeletons in my closet. What I have to say regarding my group, or the group of any one's else, will be said with simple sincerity, with no other purpose than to play the man. Let me say further, in an introductory way, for the benefit of those who may attempt to divine my tho'ts for reasons other than designing. I am not inclined to view the world thru rose-tinted glasses—therefore, am not an optimist. Too often I have forced myself to the very meridian of pleasant expectancy, only to be found shedding the tear bitter—even brooding amid the debris of broken promises and shattered hopes, and shattered hopes. I am not a persaistim. To be a persaistim, is to await consciously mortified for that which may or may not happen; or if a fatalist, I might add, for that which will surely be, if the Iron hand of Fate so wills. By this time, you have most assuredly arrived to the conclusion, that I am a realist; because I attempt, at least, to view the pageantry of human sorrow and the dramatic wiles of men thru undimmed eyes. It is quite evident then, that I am unmindful of the gigantic blows at the vitals of my group; that I notice with delicate accuracy, the unnecessary burdens under which they daily stagger and under which their dusky chews falter. Were it not for faith, everabiding faith—that faith which weaves its triumphs about the brow of outraged and oppressed humanity; were it not for my unshaken confidence in the ultimate triumph of the right—the muffled groans and the cry of Ethiopia would surely break my heart! Bear with me, however, while I pause here for a moment, to discuss assuredly, the bitter herb of unconan evil group, whose remedy is most taminated truth. There are those of us who believe, that any and everything which happens to them in a narmulu or deleterious way, as regards the action of other groups, does so, because of being Negrees or black. If this they believe, from the standpoint of being black, or color—we have only to be conscious of the fact, that the mere paint or color of the church, has notning to do potentially with the righteousness of its doctrine or its moral code, nothing, whatever, with the righteousness or unrighteousness of its doctrine or its moral code; nothing, whatever, with the sanctity or the profanity of its altar worship. Whatever else surrounds the idea of green church or red church—black man or white man, is consequently adjective. Let us advance a step further by supposing that they who believe such, are candid in their belief. What of belief at any rate? Mere belief is suggestion, expressed or unexpressed,relative to a something which may or may not be true. I may be true. I may believe that all grey horses are stronger than all bay horses, but I have no right to affirm such a belief as true, until by actual test, I prove the same beyond the shadow of a doubt; and the test is by no means an intricate one. A hunter lost amid the silence of the unmarked wilds, may believe himself to be traveling North and in the direction of his hut, and after a trek of many hours, awake to the awful realization that he has been traveling South, and in the opposite direction of his former belief. Individuals who express themselves as believing that all things which happen to them, do so because of their being black or being Negroes, impress me as being religiously conscientious in such a belief. Well, what of being conscientious? The hoodlums who relieve the sheriff of his prisoner and leave his chared and mutilated body amid the nauseating stench of human odor and debris, were conscientious,—most assuredly sol no penitent, hell bent for heaven—with clinched flat and a high resolve, was ever more conscientious than they. Con- (Continued next week) Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (B9 REV. P. R. FITZWATER D11) Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago (8. 1918 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for December 9 PAUL GOES TO ROME LESSON TEXT—Item. 18-13; Acts 27:1-28 21. GOLDEN TEXT—I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul and a Storm at UNIOR TOPIC—Paula Yavarez to JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul's Voyage to Rome INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Paul Makes the Most of Circumstances. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Divine Leadership in Paul's Life I. Paul's Longing to See the Romans (1:8-15). Rome was the center of the world's power and influence. Paul longed to visit that metropolis with the gospel so that it might find its way from that center to all parts of the world. He had a twofold object so far as the Roman church was concerned. I. That he might impart unto them some spiritual gift to the end that they might be established. 2. That he might be comforted by their fellowship. There is a reckless relationship between the minister and the people unto whom he ministers. 11. Paul's Voyage to Rome (Acts 27). 1. The ship (vv. 1-0). It was a vessel of Alexandria sailing from Myra to Italy. 2. The company (vv. 1, 2). Two of Paul's friends, Aristarchus and Luke, were permitted to go with him. Besides these three, there were two hundred and seventy three in the ship (v. 37). 3. Overtaken by a storm (vv. 7-20) Paul had advised that they winter in Pair Havens (vv. 012), but his advice was unheeded. The gentle south wind decelerated them so they loosed from Crete, only to be over taken by the tempestuous wind called Eurocydon. 4. Paul's serene faith (vv. 21-23). (1) His rebuke for failure to heed his advice (v. 21). (2) Plus them oe of good cheer (v. 22). (3) He promised safety (v. 22). (4) The source of his information (iv. 23, 24). It was revealed unto him by the angel of god. (5) The reason for Paul's faith (v. 23). "Whose I am and whom I serve." The consciousness of having been chosen by God and being engaged in His service enables one in the midst of the most violent storm to rest in God. 5. The ship's crew all safe on land (27:27-28:10). This was exactly as the Lord had said. (1) The hospitable reception by the natives (23:2). They built a fire and made the ship wrecked people as comfortable as possible in the cold and rain. (2) Paul gathering sticks for the fire (v. 3). (3) Paul bitten by a poisonous serpent (v. 3). Among the sticks gathered there was a serpent. Perhaps he had already colled itself up for its winter's sleep, but when warmed by the fire it darted at Paul and fixed its fangs upon its hand. At first the natives thought that he was an escaped murderer and that retributive justice was being meted out to him. When they saw he was unharmed they concluded he was a god. (4) Paul heals Pubilus' father (vv. 7-10). Paul now reciprocated the kindness of these people. III. Paul's Arrival at Rome (28:11-10). Brethren from Rome came some forty miles to meet him. This greatly encouraged him, for which he gave thanks to God. His desire to preach the gospel at Rome was now realized. He was treated with great lenency, being allowed to hire a house and his apart, except that he was constantly under the guard of a soldier. Being chained to a soldier was irksome, but it gave him a chance to preach to the soldiers, which he could not have done in any other way. IV. Paul's Ministry in Rome (vv. 17-31). I. I. Ilius conference with the leading Jews (vv. 17-22). He did not, as usual, wait for the Sabbath day to speak to the Jews, but after three days' rest he called the chief Jews together because of a desire to have a fair understanding with them. The result of this interview was that the Jews' took neutral ground. 2. Paul expounding the Kingdom of God and persuading concerning Jesus (vv. 2331). He pointed out a real kingdom, the Messianic Kingdom, with the historic Jesus as King. Praver Prayer is the great lever of the spiritual life; nay, to speak in various figures, it is the lung by which it breathes, it is the atmosphere in which it floats, the wing by which it speeds its flight, and the language by which it daily communes with its own Original,—W. Knight. The Richest He is richer who possesses most of "the mind that was in Christ Jesus."—Southern Methodist. B. Y. P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue SUNDAY, DECEMBER, 9, 1928 Text, Luke 2:8-20. Subject: "How Should the Christian's Christmas Be Different?" The Christian's Christmas should be different in that it is unselfish, God, first, others second, and self last. He should be dominated by the spirit of giving rather than that of receiving. A desire to be the servant rather than the served. Spreading sunshine instead of shadow, giving peace instead of pain. The spirit and mind of Christ should characterize the mind of the Christian. "Peace on earth and good will to men" was the ruling passion of the soul of Christ. The parents of Jesus were Christian citizens, willing to pay taxes to the government and tithes to the church, rendering to all their dues. The origin of Christmas as given in the text, suggests the following vital points: I. The immaculate birth. ("Emanuel") God with us. II. The celestial messenger and message. II. The angelic choir. IV. The divine sanction of the dignity of labor. (The sheperds were told.) V. The pondering heart. (Mary kept all these things and pondered them, etc.) QUESTIONS Will the joy of your Christmas be determined by what you give? Where is the source of real joy? As a Christian do you get( more joy from questionable amusements than from that type of life which spreads real peace and good will! If a birthday is to be celebrated by questionable amusements or conduct, do you think it should be the Lord's birthday? Do your gifts express the Christ spirit? Osawatomie Doings Sunday School at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Nov. 25, was not very much attended on account of the overflow, though we had a good lesson; review by Rev. M. J. Jackson, who asked the small boys in the beginners' class what they wanted to be when they were men. Willie Wright said in his own way, that he wanted to be doctor to cure horses; Bobby Reed said he wanted to be a Christian. Those boys gave us a picture of their homes. In one of the boys' homes, every member of the family are Christians and are very active in church work; while in the other home, its parents have been weaker along the line of Christion work.

They are 0,000,000 Increase 0,000,000 Decrease Not the least of America's achievements in the past ten years has been the feat of remaining the globe's most prosperous nation in the face of a billion dollar increase in the cost of government. But there is a good reason for it. American industry and American capital have saved more than the government expended. The electric industry, for example, through scientific methods, improving the service here, cutting down fuel consumption there, getting greater efficiency somewhere else, and applying everywhere the principle of mass production, HAS BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE THE COST OF ELECTRICITY TO THE PUBLIC BY MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS IN TEN YEARS IN OTHER WORDS, HAS as Gas and Electric "At Your Service" IF YOU WANT Something Better SPECIFY RED STAR FLOUR temporarily located in Abilene, for the time being at 907 North Elm St. We wish them much happiness in married life.

That is a record all electric men are proud of, and it is a concrete evidence that private enterprise, left to itself, will far excel government ownership, with swivel-chair bureaucrats in control. Can you visualize the electric industry reducing its cost to the public by a billion dollars in the last decade, if government red tape, political spoils systems and bureaucratic inefficiency had been in control? Kansas Gas and Electric Company has been directly in line with the rest of the electric industry during the past. In the future it will maintain its record of the most efficient services possible at the lowest prices consistent with good business practice. S. A. C., to spend Thanksgiving and the week-end.

HENRY FORD HEARS ROLAND HAYES (Recital in Masonic Auditorium, Detroit, Nov., 9, 1928.) The great charm of Mr. Hayes (outside of course a mellifluous voice, a priceless heritage of his race) lies-in his reticence. With very little effort, Mr. Hayes is able to put a tremendous amount of drama into a simple folk song of his people. "There was a great audience on hand, one that well nigh taxed the resources of the big auditorium, and the congregation was distinguished by the presence of Henry Ford, who arrived early with Mrs. Ford and remained until the finnal note. Mr. Ford is an infrequent visitor to theater or concert hall and it is interesting study to observe him on these rare occasions. "Mr. Ford never has been noticed (by me at least) breaking into violent handclapping and certainly he has never yet become so far lost in emotions as to t the air. But Mr. Ford's usually mobile face may be said at times to reflect reactions of pleasure or of pain. There can be no doubt that Mr. Hayea, for instance, interested Mr. Ford immensely, particularly when he sang a group of Negro folk songs, which he followed with a group of spirituals. No doubt Mr. Ford's interest in all phases of Americana, but I cannot help but think that the rich art of the singer went a great way toward fomenting that interest. "May I add that you have never heard Negro folk songs sung until you have heard them sung by Mr. Hayea." George W. Stark, in the Detroit News, November 10, 1928. nt Cost— y Cost! ```markdown ``` pany Prohibition is Benefit —Boston Post, Nov. 12, 1928 In 1910 in New York City there were 26,767 arrests for intoxication.

MINING ON SOUND BASIS (Industrial News Bureau) With the metal market showing steady improvement, citizens of states where mining is a basic industry, are prospering. European countries are increasing their purchases of such metals as copper and zinc, and the demand has already absorbed most of this year's production, with consumers placing orders for delivery year. The position of cooper is the best in over five, years, according to the Boston News Bureau. The industry has struggled along through a slow, halting process of adjustment and is today operating on a new high economic level. Mining is the bread and butter industry of many states whose prosperity of their mines MAIL US $1.50 FOR ANOTHER YEAR The regular quarterly dividend of one dollar and seventy-five cents per share on Preferred stock will be paid on Tuesday January 1, 1929, to stockholders of record at the close of business on Thursday, December 20, 1928.
