Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 4, 'IF' (With Apologies to Klipling) If you can do the joo when others blunder, And get the answer that will stand the test, If you can get the gang to think well of you, And say, "He's good, he knows his work the best." If you can help the chap that's having trouble, And nil him with the courage that he needs; If you can praise the other fellow's progress, And give him all the credit for his deeds— If you can win your way with those above you, Because you're on the square and do your stuff; If you can understand your present limits, And never go too far, yet far enough— If you can say a good word for the business, And help keep the errors on the run; You will be picked for supervision, And what is more, you'll fill the job, my son — F. H. Bigelow. (C.ipped by W. L. Hutcherson) MRS. TENNIE GREEN HAS FALLEN ASLEEP MRS. TENNIE GREEN HAS FALLEN ASLEEP At a Decar and line old age, Mrs. Tennile Green, the wife of Rev. J. P.

She reti ed felling as well as usual, but she got out of bed, and was not able to get back, and before her husband, Rev. J. F.

The university plans to promote this appeal under the name of "New York University -in-South Africa" and hopes to make support of Yergan's work the primary responsibility of the campus."

BIRTHDAY DINNER PARTY An interesting and unusual dinner party was given in the attractive home of Dr. and Mrs. P. L. Larsen of 1105 Cleveland Ave. Withla Kansas, on the evening of March 4th. This occasion marked the 75th milestone in the life of Mrs. Leah DaShields of Chippawa, Ont., in whose honor the dinner was given Mrs. DeShields is an aunt of Dr. Barnett, and is now making her nome with him. Miss Josephine Cunningham, a teacher in the public schools of the public schools of the city, and who is an accomplished musician played a lilid v march, which announced that dinner was served, and the guests headed by Mrs. DeShields and Dr. Barnett matched around the table until each found his and her place card. The six course dinner and its service left nothing to be desired in the minds of the most fastidious, while the beautiful decorations of the table and home spoke plainly of the approaching dawn of another glorious Eastertide. A piano and violin number, played at the beginning of the dinner, by Miss Dorothy and Master Fred Barnett, children of Dr. and Mrs Barntt, was so well rendered, that the guests called for more and yet more music, so that these young artists played quite through the dinner hours, and proved themselves an honor to their parents. The guests included: Rev. and Mrs. B. L. Marchant attorney and Mrs. F. C. Helm Dr. and Mrs. F. L. Barn. at Mr. and Mrs. Goldon West Dr. and Mrs. C. R. Price Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Thompson Mr. and Mrs. Walt. Robinson Mrs. Josephine S. Ball Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Austin Mrs. Mattie Copeland Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Gravelly Mrs. Mary Buter Mrs. Jeanett Hill Mrs. Ella Woodard Dr. and Mrs. P. M. Bell Miss Irene Woodard Mr. and Mrs. Syl Anderson Miss M. J. Hurst Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Farmer Miss Josephine Cunningham Mrs. Fannie Rogers Miss Jeanne ta McClain A short but pleasing program followed the dinner, in which Rev. B. L. Marchant who was in charge announced Atty, Fred C. Helm, who paid a glowing tribute to Mrs. DeShields speaking of her splendid life of service to her fellow man, which had undoubtedly left its impression upon her nephew, Dr. Barnett, Principal of the Paul Lawrence Dunbar School. Dr. Barnett is an educator and citizen of whom Wichita is justly proud and his friends predict for him gater heights. At the close of Mr. Helm's remarks he presented Mrs. DeShields with an order on the First National Bank for seventy-five new silver dimes, a dime for each year of her life. This mark of respect and good wishes came from:— Atty, and Mrs. Fred Helm Mia Myrle Hurst. Mrs. Mattie Copeland a favorite contritura of Wichita, gave pleasure to the guests by her splendid rendition of "Mother of Mine." Dr. P. M. Bell, in most appropriate words congratulated Mrs. DeShields on having attained so ripe an age, which found her still useful and in mind and body. He expressed the hope that many more years would be added to her already well spent life. When Miss Josephine Cunningham sat at the piano to play, as she thot one number, she did not rise until she had played several, the guests simply insisted that she play. Wichita, is always pleased to hear Miss Cunningham. Mrs. DeShields pledges allegiance to the British Crown, and she had most adroitly combined the Union Jack of John Bull with the Stars and Stripes of Uncle Sam, having in mind the beautiful idea of unity of the "Two Greatest Powers of the World." She had also made a cross of Easter Lillies in keeping with the day. A reading, "Christ and the Disciples," was given by Mrs. Josephine S. Ball. Mrs. DeShields was the recipient of a large number of Gifts and at the close of the program, in a most gracious manner, she thanked her guests for the esteem and respect they had showered upon her, proving herself a loyal daughter of the grand "Old Dominion of Canada." Invitations were also issued to the following out of town guests:— Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Barnett, brother and sister-in-law of Mrs. DeShields, Attorney and Mrs. Ida B.

"A BOY'S MOTHER DAY LETTER." Mistress Elizabeth bailey, Bailbury, (Unatiton County,) Mo. DEAR MOTHER: Another year has passed, and I naturally look for positive infirmatives which come with the burden of advancing years. Instead, the only change I note, is the soft unassuming smile and meow expression which naught but the land of God has chiselled there. I am astonished, mother, even astounded at your endurance which seems more to me like granite, than the result of intricate human will. I've seen you in utter desolation in matters ever when you had no control. I've seen you at the grave slucc, mingling your holy tears with the immaculate dew of the morning—blessing his unconscious duet with your maternal sorrow broken physically, for having wept, yet grander of soul, because to sorrow is divine! Mortals, more fit to stand the woes of life have cursed the Infinite and died! Not so with you mother, for sorrows seem to be the wings by which you hurdle the barricades to God. Surely the same divinity which stripped you of pinions and sent you like a wandering evangel in this benighted world, knew too well the texture of the fabric which wove for you a heart of gold. Call to me out of the exultations of your heart, mother, that I may rejoice with you; speak to me out of the bitterness of your sorrow, for I am in it near you. The door of my heart is barred fast against the intruder, but never latched against the hour of your faintest whisper. If it be so, that the friends of your yester-years forsake you, forgetful of your broken heart—I shall walk grandly by your side, in the melow light of your departing day; and when the inevitable comes, as it must—I will bless the day you taught me, that they who walk uprightly and unafraid, are they who live and die, not in vain!

B. Y P. U, LESSON “SERVICE A WAY TO LEADER. SHIP.” Matt, 20:20-23, If the height of our ambition Is the honor of leadership when we reach our goal, we may be honorable but not worthy, Our strongest passion should be to do the present task in the best pos- | sible way and with the least waste of time and energy. '_ Service ia the demand of the hour. Botn God and man are demanding ‘taut we serve at our best, because {tue leadership is service raised to its highest power. Mis, Zeoeuee had the wrong notion of tne kingdom. She thougat that Christ wos going to establish a kingdom made with hands, where the honor of ofive would be conferred upon the most favorable. Jesus shows that whilz in the kingdom which Ife is to establish, there are places of trust, but those who occupy these posts of coniidence must merit the office by service—Ef- ficient, ready, vo unteer, ideal, Chris- tlan and effective. Christ explains that the afpoint- ments to the offices of the hingdom are made in Heavea and dut.imined by character, Tre retuests of the two brothers brought out the s'cesing fea ousies of the ten. Christ calls them togeth- er and teaches that heaven reverses the order end that the greatest are thoses who serves most and best, rather than those who are served rott end test. He gave himsel! as an example, “The Son of Men Cane not to ke ministered unto, but to mini ter,” THOUGHTS Promation comes from Gol. Humilhation fs the road t> exu’tu- tion, Real honor comes unsought.

Y-P, U. CONGRESS which meets in that city, June 19-2d 1929, ROUND TRIP TICKETS can be purchased at all local offices for ONE and ONE-HALF FARES. li order to secure this ROUND TRIP passage, messengers are required to furnish the Local Ticket Agent an IDENTIFICATION CERTIFICATE, These CERTIFICATES can be ob- tained by writing to the Congress Headowarters tn this city, Bear in mind that the ROUND TRIP TICKET must be purchased before you lave your home. You cannot get the benefit of this reduc- ed rate returning unless the ROUND TRIP TICKET is purchased in ac- cordance with instructions herem given. It is desirable for messengers liv. ing in the large cities to agree upon some one to handle these CERTIFI- CATES, and thus prevent two or three persons in the same city from sending in for large batches of them. We are required to pay for the print- Ing of these CERTIFICATES. It is necessary, therefore, for all parties concerned to see to it that needless CERTIFICATES are not called for. As soon as messengers to the Con- gress have been elected and their names and addresses sent to this office, we will be glad to furnish them the CERTIFICATES needed.
