THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 9, N. E. DISTRICT BOARD MEETING --- HORTON, KANS. May 21, 22—The third quarterv Board of North Eastern District, held their session with 2nd Baptist Church, Rev. W. L. Gwens, Pastor. The route to Horton, being rather indirect many of the passengers arrived late; but in spite of this, Miss Julia Guthrie, Suit t, of the Sunday School Dept., conducted a splendid session Tuesday morning. Song service led by Rev. Shoow, was very enthusiastic. Mrs. Minnie Miller of Hiawata, read a lovely paper, subject, "What is a Sunday School?" Miss Miller brought out some excellent thoughts about the Sunday Time having been limited there was no space for comformn's on the paper. Symposium: "Can a Child Be of Any Service for God. While Young?" In the Absence of Miss Hortense Nutter of Leavenworth, Mrs. Scruggs, beautifully opened the discussion, bringing out many wonderful thots of the service of children. She was followed by Mrs. Elsie Thornton of the Zion Baptist Church, Atchison: She based her argument on the life of Daniel; but especially discussed the youth of today. Mrs. J. B. Shane of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Wathena, added to the beauty of the discussion with the life of Josiah. Toris closed with a discussion of the Child Life of Jesus by Rev. Clerance Hughes of Horton. The word this far was climaxed with a solo which was soul stirring and soul reviving, by Rev. M. Frazier, Atchison, "I Know a Great Saviour, I Do, Don't You?" Rev. David Favors of Elwood, brot a burning message, just from the Altar; subject: "The Promise of the Spirit." Ez. 36:27. Those who know Rev. Favors, can imagine the treat we received. Miss Hortense Nutter B. Y, P. U, President was absent, suffering from a broken limb. Mrs. Scruggs served as proxy for Miss Nutter. After a splendid devotional period, we were entertained by echoes from different Urions of the District. Rev, Anthony pastor of 1st Bartlet Church, Leavenworth, climaxed the service of the afternoon with a spiritual solo: "Get Right With God" Rev., Robinson Pastor of St. Paul Baptist Church of Atchison, gave us a spiritual feast in a sermon on "Service for God." Rom. 12:2 Tuesday evening was given to the Ministers and Deacons' Union conducted by the President, Pev. W. L. Shook, Pastor of 2nd Baptist Church Holter. At this session, Mr. H. I. Monroe, President of Kansas State Sunday School Convention was present and made a most pleasing address in, which he gave the plans for his State Work and stressed the recessivity of attending the State S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Convention which Meets in Ottawa, June 11-14. Rev. Anthony preached a slendid sermon on "The Departure and Distance from God; and a Provision Made." Isa. 53-6. He no impressed the pastor of the Baptist Church (white) that he was invited to preach to his congregation, which he did on Wednesday night. Wednesday morning the W. H. and F. Mission came on the scene with its usual enthusiasm and spiritual zeal under the leadership of Mrs. T. L. Scruggs, the Mission always moves the session. After devoted period, the President outlined fully the plans for our district and state work. We then enter into another great discussion: "Steworship and Mission" Tonic was opened by Ms. Elsie Thornton and was discussed by nearly every minister present and a number of workers. Many thought were brought out, which both informed and insured them to their Christian duty as never before. To close these spiritual impressions, Dr. M. Frasier, pastor of Zion Bantist Church, Atchison, followed with a Bible Institute on "Obedience" May 37:10 and Rom. 12:1-5. Miss Julia Cuthreia crowned this great session with a solo, "It Paws To Serve Jesus." With everybody in an attitude for service, Rev. R. J. Davidson, Moderator of N, F. D. District brought a message from the Alter which skank done into each subject "God Must Be Glorified" Dram. 50:15. The subject was addressed to and God was glorified at this meeting. Closed with a few present by Mrs. Tula Brown, Elwood. Wednesday afternoon the Moderator Rev B. J. Davidson conducted the Executive Board, proper. To bear the spirit high, the Moderator in a wild and impressive way collected the movies, answered Rev. Clarence Hughes of Horton to take care of the vocacies of the district pleased all business promotions and enthused enthusiastically into the artificial service with the same pals and sermon that had been seasoning the sessions thus far. The message at this time was brought by Rev W. L. Shank pastor of 2nd Bantist Ch. Horton who discussed "Purimas and Will" Daniel J. 18. The subject being dislabeled by the Holy Ghost, was刻苦 heartily many Rev. Shank heart, and he delivered the message with imperial ferocity, which seemed to touch the heart that brought all hearts and minds in one accord and once more our hearts burned NEWS FROM NASHVILLE NEWS FROM NASHVILLE MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE Guatemala Minty-Live From Your Departments.

To His Country? 4. To His Home? 5. To His Church? 6. To His Community? In the beginning God Created the Heaven and Earth, and all things were made by Him, and there isn't anything made that was not made by the hand of God; and it has oftimes been discussed by very interested students, what was back of, or before God made heaven and earth, and where did God live; and where was His place of abode, or on what did He rest the soles of His feet? My dear brethren—I shall endeavor or to try to explain these outlines as the Spirit provides amply, the thea to my mind, to the best of my knowledge, that you may get some idea just what your duty as a man a back to God. Now these six outlines will be taken up one at a time, commencing June 1st, 1929 to Jan. 1st 1931. There will be four weeks given at each outline. First of all, I begin by saying these words:—Before there was a when or a where, there was a God. Well where did He live? I lived in His Glory. What was His Glory? Rest. Peace. Nappiness. Well then, before there was a when or a where, there was only God in spirit, moving about in His own Divine Love. Nothing to be bothered with; His spirit dwelt in happiness and God looking through a mirocope of his own continuance and having all power in His own hand, got a vision and saw something that was of necessity and saw fit to call time into existence, knowing that there were three God-heads in His Divine Trinity, called the counsel together; God Himself being chiefman of the committee, worked out the plans by which to form the heavens and the earth, and so, did carry out the plan. Now when They made the earth, it was without form or void; it was all in one lump of clay and it was all in darkness; there was not any light in it; there was no sun nor moon, nor stars, for God Himself was light enough in Himself to see all that was necessary to see, but He within while he spoke to us by the way. The State Missionary, Rev. G. N Jackson came late Wednesday afternoon. We were all, both glad to see and hear him, so that Wednesday it was given entirely to his charge. He mentioned lightly, the conditions and also our obligations to both district and state, and consumed most of his time with a thrilling sermon "The Soul's Guide." Psalm 73:24. The Board was well attended, although some of our loyal and faithful workers were absent because of commenements and illness, yet, we witnessed a splendid session. The closing came in a touching prayer in behalf of Mrs. Owens, wife of Rev W. L. Owens. Our hearts ran out with sympathy for Mrs. Owens who was bed-fast and suffering somewhat intensely. We adjourned to meet Tuesday before the 4th Sunday in August in our annual meeting at 1st Baptist Chievenworth Kansas, Rev. E. W.

E. B. BRACKEN, PASTOR EDNA BOWEN, REPORTER. Sunday School was called to order at the regular hour. At 10 o'clock all went to the basement for a Sunday School Sun Freeze; especially for the children; others were guests. After this service, we went into a testimonial meeting instead of the preaching service. It was very inspiring to listen to the good old Christians stand up and praise God. One lady said it seemed like good old times; that is just what we need today more old-time religion. The spirit of God was truly felt in this service. We need more testimonials. B. Y. P. U., was held at the regular hour. The interest of the young people in the Union seems to be gaining. Preaching service at 8 o'clock. Text from the subject, "Life" from St. John 6:35. We always enjoy these wonderful sermon. We were like scattered sheep when he came have a few months ago; we are now all united. We ask your prayers that we may continue to live in unity. The installation problem went over bien, beginning on Wednesday night, the officers of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. were installed. We were very fortunate to have with us the Oil City Humane Birds of Tulsa, Oka. They sang several selections, which were certain y enjoyed by all. Rev. Stokes of Platt, was also present. After the program a social was had and much enjoyed. Thursday night the officers of the Home Mission Society and Starlight Band were installed; the Mission Society will meet at the home of Mrs. McComic, Wednesday, Friday, the pastor, donors and officers of the church were installed, to top the service and program. a splendid lunch was served in the moment. Surprising large rams were raised during these services. When in Garden City visit 2nd Baptist Church; our attendance is good at each service. Rev, and Mrs. E. B.

Mrs. Etta Washington is on the sick let, this week. knew what He would do and saw that it was necessary to have another light; knowing that all things that He old was right, and within Himself by looking through the thief darkness, said; "Let there be light!" and without a work of contradiction in light flashed into existence and God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the dark nets, all for the benefit of man and won an; and God called the light day and the darkness, He called night; and this was the first evening and morning of the first six days of creation. God Himself enjoyed what was being done by Him, and why should not man and woman? Now who wants to know where God lived, before there was anything made? It is immaterial to me where God lived before there was anything made, the thing we should be thankful for, is to know that after man fell from that Holy state of life, God thought enough of him to sec; that you may get Reduced Rates.

Now my dear friends, the 1st out link is, "What is Man's Duty Toward God?" In the first place, man ought thank God for making Him in God's own Image and in His own likeness. Man ows it all to God; nor before God made heaven and earth, that part of man that was made like God, was a ways in God's bottom after God had formed man of the dust of the earth. He breathed His own breath into man's body and man became a living soul. Man owes it all back to God for allowing him the problem to use His wealth—Everything that man Ias in his possession belongs to God. Some may ask what is man's duty toward God? We start by saying, in the first place, man knows that he belongs to God, and all that he possesses belongs to God—his house holds, his children, his money, his land, the rivers and the seas, all the fish, beasts and all the cattle upon a thousand miles belonging to God, and I pleased God to form man of the dust of the earth and to breathe into his nostrils, and man became a living soul; Man ought to thank God for giving him dominion over all of the living creatures, after He had made all things. He could have appointed some of them to make over all things on earth, for He made them all before He made man. Man should be thankful for God for making him last and giving him charge over all the others. I don't know whether there would have been very many more wars, automobile accidents, lethic and burnings, or famal as being wielded out by guns and arrows. I say one of the other creatures that God made first had been in charge of the world as of man; there would not have been many more disasters and understandings, than have been since man has been in power. I say man owes all that he has to God. Man ought to dedicate his whole life, body, and all that he has back to God for God gave him now over everything that He made. Man ought always be in humble submission unto God, take off his hat, how on his knees in prayer to God from whom all blessings flow, and as a duty to INSTALL NEGRO BAPTIST PASTOR Series of Services to be Held This Week, Beginning This Evening.

HYDE AGAIN FAVORS OUR GROUP For five years, the Committee in charge has extended a most enthusiastic invitation to negro Students to attend the Locky Mount State Student Conference, at Essex Paul. The expenses of a degree from any Kansas School is 14,500 or more. The Conference coming as it does just at the close of, Kensol. this month has indicted their attendance. This year, the Conference invited the local Y. M. C. A., to make a special effort to recruit a delegation from the schools in Kansas. Most of the Students expressed a desire to attend, but were unable to attend, but were unable to provide the total expense. Mr. Hyde has placed his Camp Cot with all the equipment, at the disposal of Capt. Hutcheson to take the Kansas Delegation. The following persons make up the ratio: Mr. Lloyd Woods Miss Saxton is from K. S. A. C. The rest are from the two local schools. Two other delegates, a young man are driving from K. U. There will be one or more Negro delegates from Nebraska and also from Colorado. Mr. Hutcherson expects about twelve or fifteen Negro delegates. But for the generosity of Mr. Hyde, the local students would be unable to attend the Conference. Mr. Hutcherson will have charge of the Quest Group on Race Relations. There will be between forty and fifty in this group. In a delegation to the Negro and White Student there will be six or more Orientals. The Conference is host to Mr. Hutcherson.

Do you help anyone? Does the church or school know that you are in town? Do you give enough of your time, talent or money to attract God's attention. He saw the widow woman, and she shall not be out of sight again by God nor man. Do you look to get something for nothing? If you do, you are a good gambler, and will lose, even if you win. The world will soon get to the place, it will not even give you chance to even play in the game of life. Do you figure that you should not do what you urge others to do? They hear you, but they hesitate to see if you mean to be true and fair. They would rather have your deeds, than your excuses. Ignorance excuses no one but itself and is too dumb to even sympathize with its victim. It did not mean it thangway, but it did not know the other or true way. It is expensive and destructive and will dissolve the best of anything if it happens to get the power in hand. Wisdom is truth, and "safety first" is its motto.—Watch Your Steps. A COLLEGE EDUCATION is not the thing that shackles the owner of the sheep-skin. His struggles for success are often strangled by an unwarranted sense of superiority. IF A GAME OR PLEASURE will not lead one to nobler or higher things, then it is of no value. One should want to move up the scales of life. Time will take you down, and if you have not lived the noble, uplifting life, will soon be forgotten and counted unworthy of the time you have wasted. POWERFUL WAS THE WORKS of the wind last Sunday afternoon. Thousands of dollars' worth of property were destroyed, and some injuries in the city. Man had a chance to see his helpless conditions when the forces of Nature moves themselves. THE NEOSHO DISTRICT is preparing a wonderful entertainment for the messengers of the State Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Convention, June 11-14, at Ottawa.

Wines in Hutchinson, May 30, for the Bethel A. M. E. Church, was a success in every way. Garden City Items MORE ABOUT THE CHURCH SALE GARDEN C11Y, KANS., June 6 We wish to say this regarding the sale of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, of April 24th 1929. There were more that oppressed the selling of the church than Mrs. G. P. Henderson and Mrs. Mart, but were not in the meeting, because they did not know of the inten- tion to sell the church. We note the $50.00 paid Mrs. Henderson repeated; this is the same $50 paid her in December, that was due her because of a loan made by her father to Ebenezer church, March 14, 1922. The church having stock in the Garden City Building and Loan which would mature Dec. 12, 1928 and would leave to the church, $50.00. This $50.00, they agreed to pay Mrs. Henderson, but in October, before it matured the church borrowed $50.00 from the loan to apply on Mrs. Bracken's fare and expenses from Calif., (the pastor's wife) Then in December, $100.00 was borrowed, $50.00 of this was paid Mrs. Henderson, on Dec. 17, 1928, and $50.00 was used on pastor's salary and other expense. Mrs. Henderson has a check showing that her fatner made this loan of $50.00 to the Ch. The sad thing about it, is, the church owes Mrs. Henderson several hundred dollars for her husband's services to the church, which they agreed to pay as they could, but not one penny of this debt has been paid. Mrs. Henderson has been under care of the doctor since April 21th, 1928. The only money she received since the sale of the church was $10 for five weeks' room rent for the pastor. Paid Pastor for salary..... $109.98 Grocery Bill ..... 24.98 Grocery Bill ..... 18.53 House rent ..... 13.00 Coal bill for church & Parson. 15.05 $9.50 paid Mrs. Hart for janitor work, and Mrs. Hart received nothing $35.00 was taken out to apply on the $40.00 paint bill for painting inside of the church. Soliciting papers were put in October for a $500.00 drive to repair Ebenezer Baptist Ch. The church and the public were looking forward to an improvement of the church, but were disappointed. In a business meeting the pastor announced the church $337.00 in debt motion was made to sell the church and pay the debt. It was sold for $325.00 This debt having accrued since October 16, 1923 with the exception of ten or twelve dollars and a part of that made since that time. Some of the members have not yet been consulted with regard to selling and uniting; the churches are not united, some have joined, the other church and some have not. Being in the same house does not put people together; and not all are in the same house. Conditions are now worse than they have ever been, as it was not done in a Christian way, and God must lead all things to be successful. Independence News. MAPLE STREET BAPT. CHURCH REV. CHAS. TEAL.
