Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 21, No. 41, UNION REVIVAL NOW ON The Union Revival is now on in full sway at St. Mary, and the building is filled to its capacity. It had a splendid beginning. The foundation was well laid by Rev. I. K Hicks, pastor of the Indian Christian Church, Monday night; then Rev. J. H. Grant, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church preached a wonderful sermon, clearing up the conscience of the Christians and had them to come forward so, a conscription prayer. Thus the meeting was in good shape by Wednesday night, when Rev. S. T. Eldridge of Brooklyn, N. Y., took the stand and finished the Gospel platform for a great meeting. He finished his sermons at St. Mary tonight. The spirit ran high: the church was crowed to an overflow. Sunday at 3.00 o'clock, a great Mass Meeting is planned at New Hope Church. Then the meeting continues at New Hope Church until Friday night. The next Sunday (27th) the Mass Meeting will be at Calvary, and the meeting will run until the next Friday (Feb 1st) at Calvary. Rev. Eldridge is a great speaker—You should hear him. He has a message for the sinees and you should bring them. If the Christian forces will do their duties there will be a great revival in this city. IN MEMORIAM CCFEEYVILLE, KANS., Jan. 12 —Geo. Chas. Young, the son of Geo. and Mary Young, was born, Dec. 14, 1851 in Mt. Vernon, Mo., when but a small boy in the dark days of slavery, he was carried to Lebanon, Mo., where he grew to manhood and received his freedom; as a slave, he was known as a train drive, driving a train, pulled by oxen from Seda'la, Mo., to Leavensworth, Kansas. This he did until he was freed, experiencing many adventures; he also boasted of riding on the first train that turned steel in the U. S. A., and attending the first public school, established for Negroes in the West past of the U. S. A. He enrolled the first day and attended the second day, being the only time he ever attended school in day, and went three weeks to nite school; the only schooling he ever received other than that he was taught by his young mistress, but could read the Bible (the Word of God) anywhere, as well as newspapers or any other print without the aid of glasses. He was very fond of reading. He was married to Rachael Pewl er in 1872, 51 years ago; twelve children were born to this urion. four boys and eight girls; they lived happily together until she preceded him in death, eighteen years ago. Eight years later, he was again married to Mrs. Amanda Goodall, she too preceded him in death in 1923, at Muskogee, Okla. He then came to Coffeyville, and made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Margie Sanders. He professed a hope in Christ in Lebanon, Mo., joining Wood St. Baptist Church and was bantized 50 years ago, living a consistent Christian; moving here he joined Calvary Baptist Church, under the pastorate of Rev. A. W. Ross, and remained a member in full triumph of faith until his death. He was very faithful to his church, attending service and doing anything else as long as his health permitted him. Tuesday morning he seemed to realize his time was up; he said to his daughter Margie you have done all you can for me, you and Grant, and the Lord will have to do the rest, for I've finished my course, long time ago and now I am ready and willing to go. I don't see why the Lord let me suffer, for I prayed for Him to take me out of the way and not let me suffer. At six o'clock in the evening he got out of bed himself, he went to return with the assistance of his daughter, Mary, when he fell back on the bed and said, "It is all over." Five children preceded him, he leaves to mourn his loss, five girls and two boys, seventeen grand-children and five great grand-children; his age: 78 years, 3 weeks and three days. Kans.

Was represented by the Newton Hi-Y Conference by Joe Lelli; 'University Men,' Ezzell Conwell B. T. W. Hi-Y' Tueon Fox "K. R. T." Club, C. Rance Blakeweb, Mauy Morgan Jr. Hi-Y Class, G. B. wilston, Associate Secretary. In the development of the youth course and those are certain realities that are thrown about him (the youth) which rips him a full round of personalty. One of these is the Hi-Y Movement. Newton Conference will be rehearsed for its table leadership, its sincere fellowship and its profound Christian aspect. As we arrived Friday about 4:15 p.m. we saw the leaders in a registering their respective delegations and the toys burying to the remsions with their Hi-Y cars and delicat budges. Each boy we read to be there and happy to meet follows from other critics whose poems and aims were similar to his. The t'ere of the Conference was "How Build a Complete Life—New." This theme was nibly presented and discussed by D. Odon of Topeka, in a message—"Building a Foundation" He stated that every life, like every home should have a sure foundation. Some of the major qualities suggested as binding material in character building were: 1. Friendship of mouth, 2. Scholarship, 3. Comradeship With Christ. 8. Conversely, Dr. Olom followed that with a discussion, ably presented, on The Superstructure, among some of the things suggested as superstructure were: 1. Ambition and Courage, 2. Good Architect (Jesus) 3. Must be brought up under religious influence. Dr. Gossard dean of men at Nebraske. Westyan University. Lincoln followed with a powerful discussion on "The contract in the building of Charley." Some of the things suggested in eye float in the contract were: 1. Proper examination of home and womanhood. 2. Loyalty to home of childhood. 2. Lovelty to future 12:00 4. Desire to take a place in the unive-se. 5. Application of the beauty in Nature. 6. Sensitive to the social o day of things: (a) Human life. (b) War. (c) Race prejudice. The session sessions were conducted by Dr. Gossard. Each toy bowed his head and resolved within himself to pray that God might make his life more Christ-like. Each boy handed in his discussion to the State Secretary. This indeed was very impressive. One of the high peaks of the conference was the Camp Wood reunion conducted by State Secretary West of Topela, in which two boys were initiated into the sharpshooter union. Sunday, the closing was very impressive, delegates went to the different churches and made short talks, which were evidently very impressive. The last session consisted in a lunchon, selections of Negro Spirituals by the mixed colored boys and girls' Glee Club of Central Intermediate School of Wechita, and a short forceful, impromptu talk by Secretary Hutcherson of Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., Wichita, on "World Brotherhood." His wonderful talk can be summed up in a short paragraph. "This is an age of interdependence. The world has been made small by science and invention, therefore we are our brother's keeper and must be concerned as such." His talk was very inspiring to all present. The conference was a grand success as evidenced by the resolutions ranging for Easter and concert work. brought in by the boys at the close of the conference. Too much praise and too many thanks can not be given to the host and hostess who opened thei. homes to the boys while at the conference. The Ladies' Aid of the 1st Methodist Church, the Civitan Club, Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, Y. M. C. A. and school officials, are to be thanked for their co-operation in making the conference a success. G. B. WINSTON, Associate Secy, Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., Wichita Kansas.

QOLDEN TEXT—And thou shall call HIS DENEWANCE; for it is He that shall save His people from their sins PRIMARY. TOPIC—Jesus. Our Have PRIMARY TOPIC—Jerus Our Savior JUNIOR TOPIC-Jesus Our Savior INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-How Jesus Saves Us 1. THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Christ, the World's Redeemer. 1. The Savior Predicted (Gen 3:15; Isa. 9:4, 7). In connection with the fall of man and the pronouncement of judgment upon the woman, man and the serpent, and the announcement of the undying enemy which was to exist between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent, ultimate victory was predicted of the women's seed. This enemy has continued all through the ages, even to the present time. On the cross of Calvary the final stroke was made which crushed his head (John 12:31; Heb. 2:14; I John 3:8). This announcement concerning the conquering One was the first gleam of the glorious gospel of Christ. A great victory was won, but at an infinite cost. The prediction of the Saylor became more specific in Isaiah 9:6.7. The eternal Son of God was "given" to the world, but he was "born" as a child. II. The Savior Born (Luke 2:11 30, 32). That which had been predicted was historically fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ at Bethlehem. When Jesus was brought into the temple as a child, the Holy Ghost revealed to Simeon that this was the Messiah. He took the child Jesus in his arms and blessed God, declaring that he had now with his eyes seen God's salvation and that He was to be a light to lighten the Gentiles and was to be the glory of Israel. This appearance of the Savior was heralded to the sheep herds by the angels as they usurbed to God the highest glory and an announced peace on earth and good will to men. III. The Savior Described 1. He seeks the lost (Luke 15:37). This seeking of the lost is illustrated by the man leaving the ninety and nine sheep and going after the one which was lost, and his rejoicing over his success in finding it. 2. He died for the lost (John 3:14-17). As the brazen serpent was lifted up in the wilderness by Moses, so Jesus Christ was lifted up on the cross that gave Jesus Christ to die, to make an atonement for the sins of the world. All those who believe on Him receive eternal life and therefore escape demination. Christ's coming into the world was not to condemn the world, but to bring to it salvation. 3. He knows His own (John 10:14) As the Good Shepherd who seeks out the lost and gives His life for them, He has a definite knowledge of each one of them. Not only does he know them personally, but they in turn know Him. 4. He keeps His own (John 10:27-29). Believers are Christ's sheep and because they are His sheep they hear His voice and follow Him. He not only gives unto them eternal life but holds them in His omnipotent hands. They are absolutely secure because no man is able to pluck them out of His hands. IV. Some Blessings Received Through the Savior. 1. Physical strength (Acts 3:11) The healing of the lame man at the beautiful gate of the temple is a fine example of Christ's ability to heal the body. This man had been lame from birth. Because the life of Jesus Christ was brought into touch with him he was able immediately to arise—strength came into his feet and ankle bones. Not only did he arise, but he walked and leaped, praising God. 2. Justification (from 5:11-11) The one who receives Jesus Christ is declared righteous. His guilt is removed and because he is justified he has peace with God, the assurance that God loves him, and real joy in God Himself. 3. Christ is the Supreme Example to the believer (Phil. 25:10). Because the Savior became incorporated with the race through the incarnation, he is able to impart life to those with whom he is identified furthermore, because he thus imparts life, the believer is able to make him an example. He is able to express the same spirit of devotion and humility in giving himself in service instead of being served. Spend Time With God It is the failure to spend a definite, even though it be short, time each day with God that is the secret of all weakness, variability, and shallowness in our spiritual experience and service. Man Alone Able to Think Of all God's creatures man alone is able to think immortality. What Darwin called "the grand instinct" has survived for countless seons the shock of bodily death—Dr. S. P. Cadman. "Seeing The Good In Men Everywhere."—John 1.45-51. What we see in others depends upon what we are ourselves and what we expect others to be. All have certain prejudices which preverts our judgment and tends to make it unreliable. The reason Christ could see just what was in one first, because He was divine; second, He was not prejudiced. Seeing the good in other men and magnifying it, tends to make both the seer and the seen, better. People are inclined to be what friends think them to be. So, to think noble of one, tends to influence him to act noble. Philip first finds Christ and with him finds Nathanael proving to him that what he had found was real. Jesus saw Nathanael before Nathanael saw Jesus. Christ saw where he was and what he was. Nathanael is convinced of the Deity of Christ. "Thou Lord Seeth Me." Christ tells him that there will be a much greater manifestation of Divinity, angels will ascend and descend upon the Son of Man as a testimony of His Divine Origin. The good is often concealed by its environments. What we think of others depends upon what we are ourselves. Christ sees our character and the material of which it is made. We can only see truth with our soul. If we report only what we see, our report will be brief. When we see nothing good in others, there is but little good in us. OTTAWA IDEAS Bethany Chapel S. S, opened at the usual time with a fair attendance.

THE SENATE is busy making it possible for Kansas to come to the front on good roads. Three cents tax on gasoline will make the road building more rapid. GREAT MIND becomes weak, when it decides that all other minds need not be recognized, when it desires to put forth a thought. Love constrains any mind and will bring results, and, a cause will be safeguarded and made as firm as a rock. ARE you trying to do right, or are you trying to please some one If you are trying to do right, God will keep you happy and everything will go well, but if you are trying to please self or some one else, you will grow blind and hateful, and the help of the Holy Spirit will be far from you. THERE should be as much ethics practiced among laboring persons as among professional persons i. e., it is wrong for any person to say or do anything to take another person's job or customer. If you do your full duty, you will be in demand and you will be able to help someone get a job or customer. If you are a shirker then you will make it hard for any person, and your flowery SPEECH will last but a season, you are found out, and the job goes to some-one, or another race;—may be to never return.

Milling IN 1928 Kansas KANSAS FLOUR the Milling Industry produced 175,000,000 bushels of wheat. That was 50,000,000 bushels more than was produced by all of Australia; 75,000,000 more than in all of the continent of Africa; two-thirds of that in all the continent of South America; and one-third of that produced in all the continent of Asia. These figures become impressive when it is noted that Australia, India in Asia and Argentine in South America, are all important wheat producing countries. Yet figures mean more when stated in the terms of human need. Wheat, the principal cereal food of the white race, is the raw material which goes to make up more than one-third of the food of the American people. In other words, Kansas produced the bread ration for 30,000,000 people—fifteen times as many as are to be found in the state. And most of the wheat was milled right within the state's own borders, for Kansas is one of the most important milling centers in the nation. It is a far cry from fifty years ago, when Kansas resi- Kansas Gas and Electric "At Your and Electric C "At Your Service" Kansas Gas and Electric Company "At Your Service" Bryant, Christian Culture; Mrs. Vivian Duke, Treasurer; Miss Ceola Brown, Pianist.

Stamps is a young minister, and with the message he brought, wo feel that he really is a God-sent man. The Excelsior Junior Mission Circle met at 7:30; these young people are doing some very splendid work. All they need is encouragement and they will surely put the program over for Christ. On the 28th of this month, the Rev. S. S. Jones will be here from Muskogee, Okla., with his wonderful pictures, under the auspices of the Excelsior Junior Mission Circle. Miss Nestine Graves and Mrs. Vivian Dukes are recovering from an attack, of flu. We are trusting they will be up and out again. CEOLA BROWN, Reporter. Salina News Items F. W. WATKINS, FASTOR.

Deliver Orders Over $2.00 Industry Kansas dents had to ship their flour in from Minnesotas, to the present day, when splendidly equipped plants rise in almost every Kansas city of any size, and when Kansas flour is actually shipped in many instances to satisfy the needs of the Northwest. In this vital industry, electricity plays a major part. Electric power keeps the huge rollers turning. That hum of activity would cease in the modern mills if it were not for the ever-present, dependable, efficient electric power. The loaf of bread is one of the lowest priced of all food commodities, and it is low priced largely because of electric machinery which cuts milling costs. A recent bulletin of the state agricultural department says that the total cost of making all the flour one adult will eat in a year, is only $1.23, counting labor, expense, and incidentals. That is only one of the things electricity is doing for you. There are thousands of other ways in which it is saving you money on the necessities as well as the luxuries of life.
