THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE PETER H. AN UNDERSTANDING OF A "PROGRAM" One of the most wide used and probably most misunderstood words today is "Program." Very often if we see a lot of bodily activity going on about an institution, immediate we say: "that institution is putting over a great program." There may be ever so much bodily activity, but unless the activity is actuated by a mission for service, with a definite goal of character development, it is no program. The program of the Young Men's Christian Association is to guide Youth through his life situations, that he may achieve full rounded Christian Personality. The avenues thro' which the association seeks to carry out their program are: Christian Quests; Summer Camps to take care of the Youth's leisure time, Conferences under able leadership to inspire the youth to noble accomplishments, Christian decisions to develop the youth into a full rounded personality; Scholarships to help the youth to obtain a higher education. Who is that individual that is so dense that he would say: "I don't see any good the "Y" is doing?" Y. M. C. A. NOTES Y. M. C. A.

THE OLD MINISTER AND THE TIME LIMIT There is a good deal of a foolish talk about churches disincriminating against ministers who have passed middle age. We could point to many successful pastors who are beyond caventy, but let us acknowledge that the older ministers are less popular than younger ministers and allow Dr. Cephas B. Crane, who was long a "grand old man" about Boston, to explain some of the reasons: The young ministers, because they are young, instinctively apprehend the genius and spirit of the present end of the immediate future, and know how to speak the timely and inspiring word; while we, who are older, find it difficult to escape the longevity of our own past. We have settled to our own satisfaction many things which, after all, are not settled. The young ministers see this; and as they go about resettling them, all the people hold their breath in unspeakable interest and delight. More people will go to see the building of a great structure, than a structure already completed. Who would not rather see the game of a baseball than read the score in the evening newspaper? The young pupit giants who are bringing things to pass thrill the people more than the o'd pupit giants who rehearse what they have brought to pass. The young Socrates asking questions is more interesting than the old judge giving an opinion according to the law books and the decisions of ancient books, etc.—Clipping. ADDRESS READ AT THE FIRST PRESBY. TERIAN CHURCH Hy Prof. E. M. Barnes, Kalamazoo, Michigan Malam President and Members of the first aries) triumphal society it is useless for me to say that I am glad to respond to the invasiveness me by my sir. Barrows, some weeks ago, to speak to you on the work of our local Interracial Commission; for, as a pre-aratory student of Interracial Co-operative, and it is useful practice and a wonderful opportunity for me to try to give are and deliver a fairly worthwhile message on this very important sense at any time. So you may rest assured that it is not on any duty, but also a signal, honor and pleauce as well as an opportunity to exchange thoughts and views with intelligent and fair-minded women as I know are before me this afternoon. I must admit that the local commission is a little too young to have much about which one can make any report regarding its activities in the past; but it is quite nosy be and indeed quite necessary to the inning of ourselves along this line that something be said about the liaisons with a wild-a-wake commission in our city; and, too, it might be in national for us to have brought to our attention in some activities in the field of Bags Relations or Interational Co-operation in other localities. First of all, I wish to emphasize the fact that this work has we all passed its experimental satges, locals have been so long and so thoroughly tried and tested out that there is no lingering doubt in the minds of thinking and intelligent people about the advisability and feasibility of establishing one in every community where there is an appreciable number of my people. This is a thing which we oftentimes say with reluctance; but, never-the-less, it is an established fact, simultaneously developed with that hellish institution, a slavery. And another thing' which we as intelligent and Christian man and women must face, is that satanic influence, race prejudice, which simultaneously evolved with the existence of slavery. We sometimes feel that it is unbearable and tightly so; but for the results obtained thus such co-operative agencies as the interracial commissions throut the country, atticities at the hand of the strong, have been greatly lessened as the years pass by. The active operation of the local Committees have in many instances, diverted susu ugy outbursts as lynchings, destruction of property, which always leave a very dark spot in the history of a city or country. The local th u its sub-committee, touch every phase of the community life of a cosmopolitan city. It not only serves to end or suppress strife, but seeks actively to maintain the peace and good will which may already exist. In other words, the best view to take in regard to a committee on interracial co-operation is to see it as an 'insurance for the future safety of the community', a definite 'linking-up of the best people and the thinking citizens of the community with an agent y whose purpose it is to advocate and propagate peace and good will toward all men. And all of the activities of the interracial commission, which, as I said, is an outgrowth of the Christian Church are done in the spirit of Christ by Christian men and women. Seeing as we do the general plan of operation, we must delegate the church as the logical agency and the only one which could qualify as the directing head of this work. Therefore, it is almost natural to think of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ In America as the guiding body or agency, for this work on intagorial goodwill. There are many other agencies, however, in our country which have been established with the purpose apparently foremost, to wholly abolish, and in a very brief space of time all the satanic attributes and influences existant in the hearts of men; but my Christian friends, I have never yet been able to harmonize strife with peace. I truly believe that racial peace can come only as a result and in consequence of the personal establishment of peace within the individuals of the particular community. When Christ was benight tried for what that criminal mob termed unlawful acts, He was very anxious, personally that peace with God should reign in the hearts of all men, but He would not for moment accept Peter's carnal method of securing peace. He therefore renrmanded Peter for using the sword in an effort to force the mob to show proper respect to the Master. This gives us to understand that peace does not come as a result of military tactics, not by the use of the carnal means and methods men employ, but by retaliative strife; but peace comes as a result of the presence of Christ in the hearts of men, as a result of rendering good for evil. The Book of Books, tells us that if, when men misuse us, we would requite them with kindness and good deeds, we would thereby heap coals of fire upon their heads. So, in summing WICHITA, KANSAS.

I have long felt that all strife and ill results are caused either from a lack of understanding or a misunderstanding. To the end of determining the sources of the many ills which have destroyed, or have not allowed to exist, the proper relationahps between the races, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, seeing the greatly destructive enroads that crime, prejudice and many other satanic attributes, were making on the real progress of America's Christian civilization, they MOREHOUSE BOY WINS REGIONAL CONTEST AWARD MOREHOUSE BOY WINS REGIONAL CONTEST AWARD NEAL HUGHLEY TAKES 2ND PRIZE IN SOUTHWIDE INTER RACIAL COMPETITION ATLANTA, GA, 17—The Commissi- rion Inte racial Co. o- eration has announced the flowi- ng prize winners in its annual Southwide college contes for a.e.s on "Justice in Race Relati- nt".

There has been a 'soul-stirring revival going on at 2nd Baptist Church conducted by Rev. P. D. Skinner, with special services for men, women and children. All of these services were instructive. Dr. Skinner preached some strong sermons from Matt. 5:1; Matt? 5:11-7; Luke 4:34; 1 Peter 4:15, 16. We regret that Dr. Skinner couldn't stav with us longer, but according to previous plans, had to go to Helena, Arkansas, to conduct a series of meetings. The meeting here closed Sunday night. Dr. Skinner went by way of home, Coffeyville, enroute to Helena, Ark: Dr. Skinner, with the acting pastor enjoyed great hospitality at the following homes of the following members—Mrs. Loretta Buckner, Mrs. Alice Dixon, Mrs. Maude Tomlin. Dr. Skinner also enjoyed meals with Rev. Martin and Deacon J. D. Jones. State of Kansas to Beebe Smith, GREETINGS: You are hereby notified that you have been audited in the District Court of Sedgwick County, Kansas, by Bessie Smith, for a divorce and that said action was filed on the 10th day of May, 1929, and that unless you answer the petition filed herein on or before the 30th day of June 1929, the allegations in said petition will be taken as true and judgment rendered against you for a divorce as prayed for in the plaintiff's petition. BESSIE SMITH, Plaintiff. A. P. WOODARD, Plaintiff. began in earnest to cast around for some method of plan by which a more whole one relationship could be created between the two leading racial groups of the country. So, pursuant to this idea, when the Federal Council was holding a meeting in New York, several years ago, and the question as to what shall we do to create the right kind of spirit between the Negro and white man, arose, a representative from Atlanta, Georgia, who had worked with a group in devising a plan by which this matter might be properly cared for, offered for the consideration of the council what they cailed the Atlanta Plan, which the Council readily saw thru and adopted as the courses to be pursued by the National Body and has been since known as the Commission on the Church and Race Relations. The methods of operation in these committees are characterized by Christianity and intelligence. The personnel is supposed to be made up of outstanding religious and intelligent individuals of the community, representing the different racial groups, especially if there is an ampleible number of the certain groups. So important and phenominal has been the growth of this movement that it is considered second only to the church in dealing with the work infusing the community with the spirit of good-will. Being an auxiliary of the church, it naturally is not antagonistic or unreasonable in its demands and claims for right and justice. The aim is not to excile fear and ill feelings, but to transform them into vehicles of happiness and brotherly love. Directing your attention for a moment to the local work, how it came ROSENWALD FUND HELPS GEORGIA BUILD SCHOOLS ROSENWALD FUND HELPS GEORGIA BUILD SCHOOLS SEVENEEN MODERN PLANTS EJECTED LAST YEAR COST OF $110,930-OTHERS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. ATLANTA, GA., April 17, 12, 20. Through the aid of the Ro e. wald Fund, Georgia built last year seventeen modern Rosenwald schools for Negroes at a cost of $110,930, and is well advanced in a similar building program for the present year, according to the annual report of field agent S. H. Lee. wald has just been made public. Of the total cost $8,091 were provided from public funds and $16,600 from the Rosenwald Fund. Negroes contributed $9,114, white people $1,900, and the General Education Board $1225. Two of the buildings erected were one-teacher schools, two will have six teachers each, and the others from two to five, or a total of fifty-seven techears for the seventeen schools. So far this year, according to the report, five Rosenwald schools have been completed at a cost of $32,800, of which, the Fund provided $4500. Eleven more applications have been approved and most of the buildings approved are already under construction. There are in the whole state 210 Rosenwald schools, though there are sixty counties which none at all. The report further shows that twenty-nine counties have Jeanes supervising teachers while sixteen Negro home denominators. There are thirty-three county training schools for Negroes in the state and ten state-aided high school's. BUILDING A .TEMPLE By C.J. Calloway A builder built a temple, He wrought it with grace and skill'; Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his will. Men said as they saw its beauty "It shall never know decay. Great is thy skill, O builder; Thy fame shall endure for aye." A teacher built a temple With loving and infinite care, Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer None praised her unceasing efforts None knew of her wondrous plan, For the temple the teacher built Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone is the builder's temple, Crumbled into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust. But the temple the teacher built Will last while the ages roll. For that beautiful unseen temple Is a child's immortal soul. I have read, and re-read this little poem, with heaviness of heart. To those of us who work with youth, we are at best but blunderers in this God-like business of teaching. "May we be shepherders of the spirit as well as Master's of the mind." May we be aware of the divinities undertaking. to be, will no doubt interest. Just three years ago in this month, Roland Hayes appeared in Detroit. Only two months had passed since I came to Kalamazoo, but had formed a group of our girls and boys into a jubilee chorus, and realizing what an inspiration it would be to the group to hear this great singer, I arranged to take them over to hear it. A few days afterward, filled with the inspiration which usually comes to all who hear this great singer, I was talking with Miss Howard about the possibilities of bringing some of our outstanding artists and other great men and immediately she expressed a desire to have Roland Hayes especially, to have Roland Hayes especially, to come; but the tremendous responsibility incident to the task made us wonder. Then, I suggested the formation of an interracial committee which could sponsor such large affairs as that would be. Her enthusiasm was evidenced in the suggestion that Mr. Downing, Executive of the Y. M. C. A., and I together and, as temporary committee, map out tentative plans for the establishment of a local. Two or three meetings were held at the Y. W. C. A., at one of which the Rev. E. A. Bell, the then president of the local Ministerial Alliance, was present in response to our invitation. As a result of his personal endorsement of the move we-were making, he gave many helpful suggestions and finally presented the matter to the alliance which resulted in the appointment of Rev. F. E. Putman official representative of the alliance. While Dr. Dowling was acting chairman, I was acting as temporary Sec. Hence, I entered into correspondence with both Dr. Geo, E. Haynes of the N. Y. office of the Federation, and Dr. Will W. Alexander, of Atlanta, secretaries of the national, with requests for material and advice at to the proper course of procedure in the formation of the local and also at the same time Five Cents Per Copy Y' SECRETARY TO WORK The officers of the Rocky Mountain Student Conference, in Session at Estes Park, Colorado, June 7-17, has invited Mr. W.

There will be over 500 in attendance, from Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, and fraternal delegates, from other states, according to Mr. Harold Calvin Conference Director. Mr. Hutcherson will have the direction of the Forum hour for interracial discussion; and also interviews on "Race Relations on the campus." He will give one or more of the Christian World Education addresses, according to Mr. Calvin. I AM CAMP I AM CAMP --- I am Camp! I am sunlight, shees on the water, a most on the mountain and stars. I am a doorway out of the commonplace into a vast new adventuring experience. I am a place where youth lears the joy of play without a sting, of fellowship without regrets, of a creative effort that wearies not, and of a good time that leaves no headache,—or heartache—behind. I am a new purpose for life that will make the years different. I am noise—and silence with a thrill in it. I am Laughter—and quiet resolution that seeks the comfort of the hills. I am Enerty and the touch of loving service. I am Youth—and the slowly emerging habits that make matured experience worthy. I am today—and also the Tomorrow that is being shaped. I am Habits, Ideals, Ways of Living, Confirmed Attitudes, in the Soul of Youth. Because I am all these and more, I would invite you into fellowship with me. Come with me, youthful and eager, reader of these lines, and I will do these Good. Good, that passes not away. Good, that temptation will not dislodge. Good, that time will not chill.

His inability to come to us, Dr. Haynes suggested what he termed the next best man, in the person of Dr. Merghant of Rockford, Ill. We were very fortunate in our attempt at securing him, for he readily made a way and came to us first in October of 1928, at which time, he gave several informational and inspirational talks on what the work meant and what could be done thus it in the light of his past experience with other locals. With this information, we who were serving as the temporary committee were following out the instructions in securing proper material for the proposed commission personnel. Some Atout 24 persons were nominated and notified of the return of Dr. Merghant on Jan. 21st of this year, for the purpose of perfecting the organization. As a result of the Jan. meeting, Mr. Andrew Lenderink, Consulting Engineer, was elected Chairm, the speaker, Secretary with the following subsidiary committee decided upon:-Employment, Chairm, Prof. W. A. Terpenning of the Western State Teachers College; Housing Chairm, Dr. Caroline B. Crane; Recreation Chairm, Stanley Morris; Church and Welfare, Rev. F. E. Putnam; Education, Dr. Ernest B. Harper of Kalamazoo College; and Publicity Committee Chairman, Mr. F. T. Downing, General Sec. of the Y. M. C. A. It is significant that the Commission now regularly organized has accepted as the two first big tasks, the adjustment of the Second Baptist Church project and the solution of the Recreation problem which is in existence as a resort of inadequate facilities for Negroes. A further word by way of explanation of the duties of a local might well serve as the conclusion of what I have to say on this subject: The Commission or the parent body meets periodically for the purpose of caring for problems which cannot well be handled by the interested sub committee; the committee on housing deals with dissatisfactions arising from conditions and locations of home; the committee on employment is the basis of one's economic status; this committee also has to deal with just wages; Com. on Recreation is to assist in and encourage the adequate facilities for this important phase of life; Com. on Ch. and Welfare has a somewhat dell- (Continued on page four) Ry we . ° wees - a , The Negro Star—for the Good of the People um nn SS ternational ' 3@ OARORE CRORE CNET ITORIORE IX SIICMOMC IC ylmproved Uniform Internationa’ [B.

SUNDAY SCHOOL & B.Y.P.U.CONGRESS The Twenty-fourth Annual Session of the SUNDAY SCHOOL AND B. Y. P. U. CONGRESS, of the National Baptist Convention, will be held in Charleston, South Carolina, June 19-23, 1929. THE OBJECT This Congress is to promote the growth and efficiency of Sunday Schools and Baptist Young People's Unions within the bounds of the National Baptist Convention; to increase the intelligence and working power of the leaders and workers in these respective organizations; to promote love for Bible study and other religious literature; to develop a spirit of consecration to religious service; to advance the doctrinal claims of the denomination; to increase the measure of interest in the processes of world-wide evangelism; to disseminate information in regard to our Baptist organizations and progress. MEMBERSHIP The membership shall consist of t he following: Baptist Sunday Schools, Baptist Young People's Unions, Juvenile Societies in Baptist Churches, Bible and Temperance Bands in Baptist churches, which shall pay an annual membership fee of Five ($5.00) Dollars, and shall be entitled to two delegates, and one additional delegate for each Three ($5.00) Dollars sent to the Congress B. Y. P. U. conquests or City Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Conventions, district Sunday School and B. Y. P. U.

State Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Conventions, etc., shall pay an annual membership fee of Fifteen ($15.00). Dollars each, and shall be entitled to two delegates, and one additional delegate for each additional Five ($5.00) Dollars. SCOPE OF THE CONGRESS The Congress deals with every phase of Christain activity. Teachers, missionaries, evangelist, social workers, Bible experts, directors of religious study course can take part in its deliberations and profit by its deliberations and profit by its exercises. Every grade of Christian worker should attend it and reap the benefits derived therefrom. The Congress Faculty is composed of persons, who, in addition to a liberal education, have made special preparation for the work assigned them. This liberal culture has been supplemented with years of experience as leaders and teachers among the people. Every member of the faculty is on expert in his line of work. It is worth the money invested to hear the lectures given by any one of the members of this faculty. EDUCATIONAL WORK DEPARTMENTAL WORK One of the most helpful features of the Congress work, l a that which is done in the daily departmental meetings. Two periods each day are devoted to the work of the departments. The two periods are from 8 to 10 o'clock a. m., 2 to 4 o'clock p. m. Departmental demonstrations will be made three times each day at the close of the morning and afternoon sessions and the beginning of the evening sessions. ILLUSTRATIVE WORK The Congress is supplied by the Program Committee with maps, charts, blackboards, banners, mottoes and such things as are necessary to aid the teachers in making plain the lessons which they teach, and enabling the messengers to get these illustrations in concise shape for future reference. INSPIRATIONAL FEATURES Inspirational addresses will be delivered at each session of the Congress by some of the most competent teachers in the denomination. The singing will be both devotional and inspirational. Under competent musical director and a well-trained Congress Chorus, the messengers will be taught effectively the art of developing congregational singing, and of making the musical department of the church and its auxiliaries one of the most attractive and profitable in the church worship. Song leaders, chorus directors, etc., should attend the Congress in large numbers in order to get the benefit of this illustrative singing process ANNUAL SINGING CONTEST There will be a SINGING CONTEST on Saturday night in which choirs, choruses, Glee Clubs and other singing groups will compete for the PRIZE BANNER. Each contestant will be required to render one Gospel Song, one Jubilee Song, and one Anthem. Competent judges will preside and award the prize in the usual way. BOARDING AND LODGING Messengers will be furnished board (two meals per day) and lodging for TWO ($2.00) Dollars per day. Assignments will be made by the LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE. All messengers are urged to send their names to the chairman of this committee in accordance with such requests as he may make thru the various papers. REPRESENTING BY-LETTER We desire to have every organization send a messenger in person, but if it cannot represent by messenger, it may be represented by letter. Send the letter and money order on or before June 19,1929. Application has been made for reduced rates, which will be published when granted in the NATIONAL BAPTIST VOICE and other denominal papers. It is highly probable that messengers to Congress will be permitted to buy round trip tickets from their local stations. Accurate information with regard to this matter will be published in the papers. ELECT MESSENGERS EARLY It is advisable that messengers to the Congress be elected at the earliest possible moment, so that there may be sufficient time in which to raise the money to pay their expenses. As soon as they are elected, send their names to this office. For further information address the—CONGRESS HEADQUARTERS, 409 GAY STREET, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. W. H. JERNAGIN, President, H. T. SIMS, Secretary; NOTICE!! NEWS ABOUT THE CONGRESS Dear Co-worker: We have just received word from Charleston, that the Local Committee is putting everything in readiness for the Congress. They have secured a large hall that will accommodate seven or eight thousand people. They have secured also a large school building within one block of that hall in which to hold Departan adequate and satisfactory armenal Meetings. This seems to be rangelement as far as space and accommodations are concerned. The Baptists of the State of South Carolina, are very proud that the Congress is being held in that state; and are giving the Local Committee hearty co-operation in its efforts to provide for the convenience and comfort of the messengers. We have just received at this office the Railroad Identification Certificates, which must be in the hands of every messenger and visitor before they leave their homes. These Certificates must be presented to the Local Ticket Agent before he is authorized to sell them the round trip ticket. Instruct your people in the cities to name one person to whom these Certificates should be sent. We make this request because in many cases three or four people order Certificates from the same place and in that way cause us to furnish a great many more Certificates than are necessary. We are required to pay for the printing of these Certificates; consequently as a good business policy we should be careful in giving them out. You can help us a great deal by co-operating Let us hear from you by return mail with us in this way. ANNOUNCING THE CONTEST FOR A FREE TRIP TO CONGRESS IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, GOES MERRILY ON. The Contest is open to individuals, Sunday Schools or Districts. The first prize is a free trip to the Congress; the second prize is tuition and board to the Summer Assembly at the Baptist College at Ottawa; and the third prize is expenses paid to the Summer School at the Kansas Baptist Theological Seminary, at Topeka. Contestants, should enter at once. For any information write the Secretary, Miss Lois Grimes, 722 West 11th St. Junction City, Kansas, or H. I. Monroe, 112 Clay Street, Kan. Rules of the Contest are that the awaits will be made the last day of the State Sunday School Convention at Ottawa, and reports must be made on or before two o'clock of that day, to the Committee to be appointed to handle the contest. If the District Convention, is entered, the amount must be the amount over $70.00 above the Districts prorata to the Convention. H. I. MONROE, President. The railroad authorities have granted reduced rates to Charleston, S. C., on behalf of the SUNDAY SCHOOL & B. Y P. U. CONGRESS which meets in that city, June 19-24 1929. ROUND TRIP TICKETS can be purchased at all local offices for ONE and ONE-HALF FARES. In order to secure this ROUND TRIP passage, messengers are required to furnish the Local Ticket Agent an IDENTIFICATION CERTIFICATE. These CERTIFICATES can be obtained by writing to the Congress Headquarters in this city. Bear in mind that the ROUND TRIP TICKET must be purchased before you leave, your home. You cannot get the benefit of this reduced rate returning unless the ROUND TRIP TICKET is purchased in accordance with instructions herein given. It is desirable for messengers living in the large cities to agree upon some one to handle these CERTIFICATES, 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 printing 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 Congress have been elected and their names and addresses sent to this office, we will be glad to furnish them the CERTIFICATES needed. For further information concerning railroad rates, etc., address the CONGRESS HEADQUARTERS. E. W. D. ISAAC, Director General 409 GAY STREET NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
