Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.21, No. 40, THE NEXT STEP IN RELIGION Joseph Fort Newton has done well in an article in the Christian Century, October 25th number in which he discussed under the caption, "The Next Step In Religion.* He says in part: "What we need is a further step in religion, an altogether other dimension of faith and fellowship, if we are to get on with the Christian enterprise. Either we must go forward to a greater Christianity or be forced out of religion altogether by the tide of cynical materialism now flowing—losing, first of all, the loyalty and service of a generation of strife and educated youth. "Is Christianity dying, as Arno'd Bennett and others tell us it is, almost as if it were a bit of good news? Yes, of course it is, though for a reason they do not understand. It is the genius of Christianity to die like its Master, and rise again radiant and newborn. Evermore it must die to outworn forms of creed and rite, and rise to a new vision of truth; must die to its narrow sectarianism, and rise to individualism and rise as a "beloved community." We are on the eve of great change and advance; new ideas of the spiritual world and its laws are at the door. Men of spiritual awareness detect a spirit moving in the current of our time, like the Ezekiel vision of a spirit in the wheels prophesying a new demand of the human soul. More light will yet break forth if we have eyes to see and a heart for high adventure in the fellowship of him who is going further. What is the next step in religion? We have tried dogma, and it involves us in endless debate and in bigatries unbelievable. The time is at hand when we must advance from philosophy to fellowship, from faith to love because religion is love, and faith attains reality only in love. The word credo I believe does not solve the cross-word puzzle, unless we add the word amo. I love in which Jesus summed up His gospel. 'Love one another'—how much, how long, how fqr?—as I have loved you! There is the measure, the standard, the prophecy of our faith. If only the arms of Christ, still out-stretched on the cross, might be unloosed to clasp us in one embrace and draw us nearer to His heart! Then we should know a truth deeper than dogma, holier than ritual, and, as inclusive as the love of God, Next Step In Religion." uniting us in creative, co-operative, invisible fellowship. —Clipping. FISK UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB SINGS FISK UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB SINGS In spite of the bad weather, last Tucaday evening, 28 of the most brilliant young men on the American Stage, entertained the Wichita Music Lovers in concert recital under the direction of Prof. J. W. Work, a young man who has had special training as a choir director in New York. Every young man showed sign of special training—their enunciation, stage deportment and harmony are excellent. They were completely under the control of their director and the movements of his hands was heard in the pitch, swells or softening of their voices. The special solos were really specials and proved the excellent qualities and training of their voices. The renditions of the piano solos by the young man, of his own compositions, were results of talent, hard work and best of training. The octet carried the audience by storm, and was encored and gave other numbers equally as pleasing as the first. The concert closed but it was so pleasing until the audience reluctantly left their seats after applauding and getting another encore number. The audience had demanded encores throughout the concert. We believe this to be the best trained set of singers that have vet entertained the Wichita audiences. At times the harmony was as perfect as a pine organ, with that sweet tenor and bass in question. Most FINANCIAL STANDING OF UNIONS REAL HEROISM We are too prone to think of hectes in terms of the battle-field. Let me bring you a picture of true heroism out of real life. A day or too ago, a letter came from Mrs. Yeigan stating that she had been ill; in inact, so serious was her condition that for a while the doctors thought she was a victim of typhoid fever and had about decided to have her taken to a hospital when a chango came for the better. Max had his plans all made to go to the Student Federation Conference in India. His wife's condition was sufficient tacson for him to cancel the trip to India, inspire of all the interests involved. He was moved to do go, but the brave mother of his three boys, who is teacher as well as mother of her children. insisted that he go to India, assuring him that the same loving Heavenly Father who had watched over her thru many a lonely day during his absence in field work, would take care of her and the children while he was away in India. With this assurance, altho with an anxious heart, he set sail for the Conference in Mysoire, more than 3,000 miles away to be gone not less than four months. Meanwhile, sufficiently recovered to resume the work conducting school for her boys, Mrs. Yeigan lives in the faith that she expressed. Who would dare say that it is easier to face a gun-fire upon the battle-field? Max Yergan is one of the Secretaries of the National Council, Y. M. C. A., U. S. A., serving the Native Students of South Africa. of the arrangements- of the spirituals used were arranged by Prof. Work, which of itself speaks loud. The Y. M. C. A. Y. W. C. A. and Philis Wheatley Children's Home need special mention for giving the city a chance to be so highly entertained. If you missed it you are short in your future life, that much.

THIS MATTER OF RACE SUPERIORITY A telling blow to all race-phobists and "theiridity mongers" is delivered by Dr. George A. Dorsey, in the current issue of Plain Talk. The author of "Why We Behave Like Human Beings" is in this article at his best. What he says about the theories of Madison Grant, Osborn, Wiggam, McDougall, and Lathrop Stollard, will certainly give those gent'emen something to think about for sometime to come. The doctrine of Nordic superiority becomes a myth under Dr. Dorseys lacerating criticism. The contentions of those scientists who postulate the idea that anything of real cultural worth in the world has been due to Nordic influence are not borne out when the facts are considered. The division of the important races of mankind into Nordic, Alpine and Mediterranean groups is an unscientific procedure unfounded upon any proven facts. Enlightened and unprejudiced anthropologists are admitted that there is no justification for the statement that any one racial group is inherently superior to another. "Races do not exist, classifications of mankind do" says Dorsey. The conclusions arrived at are that the innate qualities one is born with are not in themselves sufficient evidence upon which to establish the doctrine of superiority, but that environmental conditions are the most important factor. Experience has shown that the Negro placed in the same environment offered to white people has held his own under insuperable difficulties. The point made by unprejudiced scientists is that the Negro's progress would be even greater if the restrictions impending his advance were removed. We Negroes except in moments of adversity, have never admitted inferiority. Now that we have the opinions of such eminent rign as at 12:30 o'clock. At the afternoon session the officers were elected, and reports for the year given. Services were good all day Sunday, the Pastor, Rev. M. J. Smith, preached at both morning and even (continued on page four) ASSOCIATE Y SECRETARY WRITES The modern trend in education is toward economic management in all phases of life. "Time savers," "Labor savers," "Space savers," and Money savers," are being discovered and perfected. The emphasis seems to be on saving and rightly so. Our-Anglo-Saxon words go thru such an evolution that it is good to stop and think them through. In less than two weeks the who's country will be observing "Nation Thrift Week." Many will be the speeches urging the young and old to save, Save what? Why save? How save? Our Saviour said look unto Him and be saved. The banker says, "Deposit here and save." In both care, the spiritual and secular realms, saving has the final meaning. In secular life saving his economical management. In the spiritual life it is management of one's creative and motive forces so as to effect the best positive results to himself and those about him. Saving does not mean hoarding. The miser hoards but does not save His pile of schelles heaps up, but his spiritual, mental, and social life is radically decreased. Saving is sharing with othr rs, whenever one banks or invests his money, he is sharing with others. The breadwinner of the home tols in order that he might accumulate something to share with the others of his household. The millionaire collects his millions in dividends from business, end donates a large portion of it to a worthy cause. That is saving. Saving makes for lapriness. Remember that "One cannot spread the perfumes of happiness without a few drops dropping on himself." G. B WINSTON, Associate Secy, Water Street Branch, Y. M. C. A. Franz Boas, Dr. Dorsey, Professors Jennings, Pearl and Tozzer, we should always feel that our potentialities are equal to those of any people and need only every advantage to be developed. —Clipping.

Jan. 11—Horrified by the lynching near Parchman, Mississippi, on the evening of December 11, the Lishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in session in this city on the next day voiced a scathing denunciation of mob violence and appealed to all good people to do their utmost to end this distinctive American crime. The revolution, which was introduced by Bishop H. M. DuBose, of Nashville, was adopted by unanimous vote and was given to the press to be broadcast. It is as follows: "Resolved by the College of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Ch., South, that, speaking as the representatives of one of the most numerous bodies of the nation, and particularly of the South, we rejoice in the continued decrease in the number of lynchings in this country in recent years, but we deprior and condemn the still too frequent examples of mob violence, which discredit and dishonor our civilization and outrage and weaken the majesty of the law; and particularly those of more recent occurrence in our states of the South. "While we recognize the unspeakable atrocities of the crimes committed by those persons who have been executed without authority and law, we must point to the fact that the laws and courts of our states have shown their ability to execute justice against even the most heinous crimes. All experience of the past is to the effect that violence begets violence; and that the supplanting by private vengeance of the law and and the functions of criminal tribunals can result only in the weakening of the law and in the loss of respect for the constituted agencies of justice. "We beg our people that, through self-repression, moderatain and d Christian patience, as also for the love of humanity and our Christian civilization, they seek to deepen and make effective the growing public conscience against this and every other form of violence, to the end that the law be enthroned and our Christian ideals be vindicated." More than 2,000 Southern Methodists, attending an international missionary conference in Memphis, at the same time, by uuanimous vote adopted a similar statement and ordered that it be broadcast throughout the church, which has a membership of 2,500,000. This resolution was prepared by A. C. Millar of Little Rock, Ark., and was as follows: "Not merely because lynching is wrong and unjustifiable, but also because of the reproach it brings upon us among other nations and races, we unqualifiedly condemn it and pledge ourselves to exert our influence to suppress it." Colbert and her son, Theodore, who is attending the Wichita University. Mrs. Henry Jones of Friend, Kans., accompanied them.

Essay prizes given—Address denounces Gov. Bilbo, advises suppression of race compromisors. WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 5, 1920 Out of an embryonic 3-cornered contest for the presidency of the National Equal Rights League between Rev. W. H. Jernagin, favored for organizer, M. W. Spencer and Rev. H. T. Medford, emerged the unanimous election of Rev. Jernagin. W. M. Trotter was re-elected secretary. The trophy contest for most practical and concrete plan to complete emancipation was continued 'till Douglass Day when the new Executive Committee, meeting in Washington, will make selection from all plans received up to Feb. 12, Lincoln Day. The League voted to establish legislative headquarters at Washington. Shaw Memorial Essay prizes on voting were given, first $25.00, donated by Bishop and Mrs. Ransom to Miss Ella J. Baker, N. Y.; 2nd $15.00, donated by Honorable W. H. Lewis to Wm. H. Scott, Mass.; 3rd, $10.00, by lawyers Rufus Perry, N. Y., and L. M. King, D. C., to J. S. Wellbank, Cal. Contestants were from 25 states. After 2 nightly mass meetings and two day sessions a militant address to the country, framed by Bishop W. J. Walls, was adopted, a strong general plan of pridicules for completing emancipation based on Charles Summer's theorem, "In separation there is no equality," framed by Wm. Monroe Trotter, was accepted as preamble to a more detailed complement by Feb. 14, and a full set of officers were elected. The officers elected were: Rev. W. H. Jernagin, Pres.; Maurice W. Spencer, 1st Vice; Bishop W J. Walls, of North Carolina, 2nd; Benj. W. Swain of Mass. 3rd; Wm. Monroe Trotter, Cor. Sec.; Dr. W. O. Taylor, Cor. Ass't; Jas. L. Neil, Rec. Sec.; Thos. A. Johnson, Ass't Sec.; J. M. W. Austin, Treas.; Rev. H. D. Taylor, Chaplain; Rev. J. A. Davis Sgt.-at-Arms; Thos. H. R. Clarke, National Lecturer, Committee on Organization; Rev. H. T. Medford, Chairman; Maurice W. Spencer, Rev. Benj. W. Swain, Bishop W. J. Walls, and Rev. J. Harvey Randolph. Committee on Federal Petition: Thos. H. R. Clarke, Chairman; A. A. Graham nf Va.; W. A. Taylor. The address declared that the League represented the 'nucleus who still believed more in emancipation than in the siren of contentment, and in action for freedom rather than in the opiate of superficial prosperity and the deception of flattery." The address admitted internal faults and the need of increasing economic cooperation as well as protect homes and property to give equal distribution of the public tax for educational and social welfare, justice in the courts, protection of life with fairness of trial, abolition of segregation in governmental departments, in city residences and in all forms of public carriage and service. Claiming the race has the most partial and limited freedom of all American elements, the address declares this justifies us in "denouncing and throttling the element in the race that seeks to perpetuate the status of quasi-slavery upon the necks and minds of our race." Lynching is denounced. Gov. Bilbo of Mississippi, is condemned and the Board of Bishops of the Southern Methodist Church, who denounced lynchings, was commended. The race was advised to vote so as to get returns locally and nationally from those they agree to support, and condemned bigotry by our own race in politics. Speakers addressing the convention were: Kelly Miller, Lewis Monroe, Bishop Walls, L. M. King, Esq., A. W. Scott, Esq., Rev. C. H. Russell, and Charles Edward Russell.
