THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- State Historical Society, W. E. B. FOR Vol. 22, No. 10, A. ADDRESS Convention: Dear Co-Workers: 11 12 --- Convention: Another year has passed into history, and we are permitted to meet in another annual session to report of the work done in the past year and plan a larger and broader work for the coming year. Twelve months ago we set uennite aims and large tasks, we have succeeded. Twenty five years ago in Second Baptist Ch. At Olathe, Kansas, a tiny baby was born, the child did not look very promising in that it was weak, it was given the name, Neosho Valley Dist. B. Y. P. U. Convention, and Rev. D. S. Topp was elected president or as overseer. At the time of its birth and three succeeding years, the child was watched and it was said that the child could not live, "it will die" but the child did live and grow and increased in statue and in favor with God and with man, Rev. Topp left it, in succession came Bro. James Wilson and Bro. Jas. Scott, and your humble servant as president. The child has grown into a stalwart young woman, she has passed three besetments, many trials, many failures but looking back over the past, each year she has learned a lesson of how to improve. Sorrow, trouble and even bitter defeat has been hers in the past, but she has met it all with Christian fortitude and learned that His grace is sufficient for every trial and is better equipped today than ever before to meet the challenge of Christ. Today we celebrate our 25th anniversary, our silver jubilee. We are proud of our achievements of the past, while we have not reached the too ring of the ladder of success, we have done what we could and God has blessed us. With pleasure I voice the sentiments of all present when I say we are glad to be here. Through our working together this week, we are going to be diwn into close fellowship, thereby making God's Kingdom a little more real and seuing in a better understanding of the work. Our Work Our work has not suffered much this year insipite of the money panic and the hard winter. I was unable to attend our first board meeting with the association last Aug., but the reports show that this was the best meeting in the history of the District. Our Second board meeting was held in Ft Scott, with Mt. Zion, my home church, this was a very inspiring meeting. Our board was with New Hope Bapt., Chanute, tho there were very few workers present at this meeting our enthusiasm was much and they meeting was very irritated and the finance was about as usual. We missed our very efficient rest from this meeting, who was keen away because of illness, we did not know how vaulable her smile which she always wears was to us until she was away. bp. We have also missed the other workers, whom we have always had with us until this year. Sis. Gordon, the President of the Woman's Convention and Sis. Ida Hughes. We are glad to have Sis. Gordon with us again in this meeting. We are relieved to hear that Sis. Hughes is vet ill and cannot be with us but bow to the will of God and pray for her speedy recovery. The State Convention last June was very inspirational. the program was very helpful, the Kansas young people are blessed in that we have Prof. H. T. Sims as our leader. We do not know how to thank him for the help he has been personally to us, we pray that God may ever use him as an ambassador for Him. We were also able to attend the great Kansas Baptist State Convention in Oct. at Leavenworth, and gained much information and inspiration from the meeting. Our state B. Y P. U. Con. meets in our own District this year. at Ottawa, we might as well consider ourselves its hostess. I am urging that every union in the District that can represent at this meeting in Ottawa send your young people to this meeting, let's show them that Neosho is in Kansas. We MOREHOUSE PRESENTS HARVEY TOKEN ATLANTA, GA., June 4th—The laa. Chapel service at Morehous College was turned over to the "M" Club in order that its members along with the entire student body could pay honor to Prof. B. T. Harvey, who is retiring from coaching at the close of this year. W. D. Mann, the '29 football captain, in speaking for the studenth told how they have learned to honor coach Harvey for his fighting spirit clean sportsmanship and the manne. in which he deals with his payers on and off the field. Dean Arche. speaking for the faculty told how fortunate Morehouse was in having as coach such a strong character. He also states that though we can thank him, for what he has done we can never pay him, for he has put too much of his life into the games. At the close of the ceremony, Latimer, football captain of '27 and '28, presented Prof. Harvey with a beautiful watch from the "M" Club as a token for what he has done for the athletics at Morehouse and in the south generally.

S. Supreme Court in the Louisville, segregation case (Suchanan vs. Warley) won by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1917. The Atlanta ordinance purports to evade the Supreme Court's decision by not mentioning races, and setting apart separate residential areas for "those persons who are forbidden to inter-marry." The Mayor vetoed the measure because he was aided by the city attorney that the measure was plainly unconstitutional. The National Office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has offered its aid and that of its National Legal Committee to colored citizens of Atlanta, in carrying the fight against this ordinance into court. NEWS FROM ESTES PARK NEWS FROM ESTES PARK W. L. Hutcherson and his crew of University Students write back that they arrived safely in Estes Park, Colorado, despite the rain and bad weather. Mr. Hutcherson reports that the Conference kids fair to be a great meeting. It has been said that: "Youth wants leadership, calling for knightly adventure." This is truly evidenced in the Estes Park Student Conference. The student of today is on quest. The different quests are: Religious Perplexities, led by Paul C. Johnson; Interracial Understanding, led by Mr. W. L. Hutcherson; International Understanding, led by Winfred Wygol; Prayer led by Dr. Mendenhall. We are proud to know that some of our own Wichita boys and girls are included in that group of students who will receive such information, in education, and fellowship We are also proud to know that our own W. L. Hutcherson is a leader in this quest of the youth. No boy or girl can go to such conferences and come back home with out being fired with a new in-irration and determination to higher things and a nobler life. Y. M. C. A.

THE VALUE OF EDUCATION FOR OUR RACE Never before in the history of mankind, is the need of Education more necessary for the Negro Race. The cry of the age is prepared men and women in every vocation of life, we are living now to see the fulfillment of, some of the predictions and also the prayers of many a gray-haired father and mother. Before our race had even a chance for an education, their struggles and disappointments were many; but:— Some of them struggled while others faltered. Lattered, Some hoped while others dispaired, Some laughed though their hearts were bleeding: were bleeding. But they remembered God's promise, that He would make a way out of no way, if they would only trust Him and they even shed blood that we might receive the blessings of education, that we, as a race, are enjoying today. True education develops not only the head but hand and heart. So while we have the chance, let us qualify for real value for our race. Men and women are valued by their ability, and the world is placing "special delivery stamps" on those who are qualified; while the unprepared are being pushed aside from every walk of life. So if education is to be of any real value for our race, qualify for real service; for God needs us as a race, on His great program and His work, must go on spiritually, temporally, and financially, and we cannot succeed without a good, number one education. "What to do with him? is the question the parents face. A boy will be up to something all the time. What he does depends largely upon his environment. His mind and muscles will be busy as long as he is awake; what he needs most is wholesome fun and recreation in a good environment under proper supervision. Clipped by G. B. Winston CAMP'S CALLING. The Inter-Church Camp, at Camp Hyde will be held July 1-6, 1929. The churches are asked, to send in a boy chosen by them, to G. B. Winston at the Y. M. C. A..

N.A.A.C.P- IN CONGRESS FIGHT NATION STIRRED OVER EAPPORTIONMENT NEW YORK, June 7.—This week has witnessed a stirring struggle in Congress over the census bill, involving an attempt by the South to reduce the representation in Congress of Northern States, and a counter attempt by the North to enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments. Representative Hoch of Kansas, introduced an amendment to the census bill providing that aliens be not counted in apportioning representatives to Congress. This measure was designed to prevent increase in the representation of northern and eastern states while maintaining the present status of the South. Representative George W. Tinkham of Massachusetts, who for ten years has been fighting for amendment which would bar all distrancised citizens from being counted for purpose of congressional representation i.n. This amendment promptly threw the House into an uproar and brought adjournment until the following morning, as it was realized that it would enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments and penalize the South for holding Negroes voteless. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Promptly talked with Congressman Tinkham over the long distance telephone, congratulating him on his effective strategy and offering it support, N. A. A. C. P. Branches throughout the country were telegraphed, urging them to get their Congressmen to support Mr. Tinkham's amendment. When the census bill passed the House yesterday morning, both Amendments had been dropped, Mr Tinkham's amendment having forced the South to abandon its effort. During the struggle, party lines were broken in the House, and northerners Democratic organs like the New York Woolard warned the southerners that they were making inevitable a movement for the enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments now being flagrantly violated. found wanting) The Lord may try you thru this one of His little ones; if you respond, it may as "Bread cast upon the waters to be gathered up many days hence."

Zedeklah was made king of Judah by the king of Babylon (11 Kings 24:17), but in spite of this kindness and the word of the Lord spoken to him by Jeremiah (Jer. 34:17, 18, cf. Jer 32:3), he rebelled against the king of Babylon. He relied upon the help of Egypt, but all that Egypt could do was to cause temporary interruption of the siege of Jerusalem. 1. The Siege of Jerusalem (vv. 1-3) 1. The time (vv. 1, 2). It began on the tenth day of the tenth month of the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign and lasted about eighteen months. The tenth month, according to the Jewish calendar, corresponds to our December, January, as their calendar year began about the middle of March. The reason the exact time is given is that this was to be an event of great importance to the Jews in their exile. 2. The method (v. 1). Nebuchadnezar came with a large army and encamped against Jerusalem and built forts against it round about. It is thought that siege walls were built around the city, shutting it in. On the tops of these walls forts were built from which missiles of destruction could be hurled by their engines of war against the city. Geikle says, "It was speedily followed, as is always the case, with an outbreak of pestilence. Fowl was well nigh gone. There had long been no bread. Mothers were at last driven to murder and eat their children. The richest citizens wandered about searching for scraps in the dung hills." It is estimated that one third of the people of Jerusalem died of starvation. H. Zedeklah's Flight and Fate (vv. 4-7). 1. "The city was broken up" (v. 4) The Chaldeens had succeeded in making an opening in the wall so large that they could make their way into the city in spite of all that the Hebrews could do. 2. Zedeklah's flight (v. 4). The Ling with his men of war fled by night toward the plain. His object no doubt was to cross the Jordan at Jericho and hide in the mountains east of the river. 3. Zedekiah's fate (vv. 5-7). (1) He was overtaken in the plains of Jericho (v. 5). When his flight was discovered, the Chaldean army pursued and captured him. (2) He was brought to the king of Babylon at Litibah (v. 6), a town north of Damascus. It was the king's headquarters from which he directed his armies against Tyre and Jerusalem Zedekiah was tried as a criminal before Nebuchadhezzur. (3) His fate (v. 7). His sons were slain in his sight; his eyes were put out; he was bound with fetters of brass and they carried him to Babylon where he remained prisoner until the day of his death (Jer. 52:11). 11. Jerusalem Destroyed (vv. 8 10). The dismantling of the city was de- layed a month, perhaps awaiting in- structions from Nebuchadnezzar, who was at Riblah. 1. They burnt of the house of the Lord (v. 0). This was the sacred temple built by Solomon, with additions and mod- ifications. Before burning it was de- spoiled of all its sacred contents. 2. Burnt the king's house (v. 0). This was doubtless the palace built by Solomon. 3. Burnt all the houses of Jerusalem (v. 0). The implication is that the common houses were left for the people (v. 12). 4 They broke down the walls of Jerusalem. IV. The Disposition of the Temple Furniture and Priests (vv. 1321). 1. The temple furniture (vv. 1317) The pillars of brass and the bronzed men were broken into pieces by the Babylonians and were carried to Babylon. 2. Certain officers and priests (vv. 1821). Certain officers, priests and three-score men were taken to illiblah by the king of Babylon, and were slain. From Small Beginnings Prayer brings God into what men are pleased to term the little affairs of life.

HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue The Price of Voluntary Christian Service. Luke 9:57-62. The volunteer, is said, makes the better soldier in the army of the Lord, none other is accepted. The price of Christian Service is complete investment of life. An instrument in the hand of the Master instead of a Master with an instrument in the hand. Our text teaches of a pledge that is voluntary but premature. Decision must be founded on knowledge and faith. A decision for Christ rests on knowledge, faith and love. Jesus answers the rash decision by pointing out that the foxes and birds had homes while their Master had none. Then to the second the Master gave orders, "Follow Me;" to tails the man replied, "Suffer me first to go and bury my father;" Christ declared to him that making disciples was more important than burying the dead. The third man seemed to be willing to follow, but none at once. In keeping with the custom, he wanted to go home and tell folk goodbye, but the King's Business demands haste and to return from it even to say good-bye is indicative of unfitness for the Saviour' Service. THOUGHTS It is one thing to speak for Christ, but quite another to live for Him. "He was rich but for our sakes, he became poor." The command to follow Christ implies all the essentials for the journey. If we loved the living as we seem to love the dead they might live longer. When we pay in service while one lives, we have less to pay in tears when he dies. Christian Service differs from all other, in that it is unselfish. ADDRESS (Continued from 1st page) BY MRS. MINNIE OWENS, PRES. Read before the District Meeting of the Neosho District B. Y. P. U. at Fort Scott, Kansas, June 4, 1929 FORT SCOTT, KANSAS, S Mr. President, members, friends of the Neosho District B. Y. P. U, calling for brave valiant young people who are willing to give their bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service. The greatest challenge before the youth of today is service. The young man or woman who has no desire for service has missed the greatest thing that life has to offer, "Even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister, to give his life as a ransom for many." Christ is the greatest example of service for youth. Faithfulness in our service is that which counts. Jesus in the parable of the talents points out that those men were commended for their faithfulness. We are called to do the service that the Lord warts us to do just for the sheer joy of doing it. This is the way to develop our talents and fit ourselves for service. We cannot expect our Master to call us higher if we are not doing with our might what our hands find to do. God is calling for every ounce of influence to be used for Him and the world. Jesus and Paul were servants, the highest joy of their live was doing service. The Christ is calling you to prayer, the prayer life is a very vital life that we cannot serve if we neglect to pray, Christ is calling you to pray, prayer is the Christian's vital breath, it is his native air, pray the Lord of the heaviest might use you "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man prevaileth much," truely "more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of." The Christian who wouldlive the life that counts, who would be equipped for successful service, must spend much time in prayer to God, pray without ceasing, Christ did and had power with God and man. Paul not only kept Christ before him as his ideal and goal, but so extensively did he press forward in his desire to become like Him, he could truly say concerning his activity in this matter, "This one thing I do." It was his chief aim in life, his chief purpose in living. As a result Paul's life and mind was so filled with the mind and spirit of Christ that Christ lived in him, he lived and possessed Paul to such an extent that Paul could say, "For me to live is Christ," the call comes to every Christian to so live so as to attain this state, can we if we submit and surrender ourselves and become so filled with His mind and spirit that His life will be reflected in us. We must be engaged, transfigured into his likeness by having our minds renewed by accepting Christ as the controlling principle of our life. No thought of consecration can be complete out the recognition of our relationship and obligation to God and to Christ and His Kingdom as stewards. That which we give must be given gladly and willingly unto the Lord we cannot give an account of our stewardship without doing all we can for Christ through the church. The church of tomorrow is reflected in the church of today. The church cannot be great and strong tomorrow unless we train the youth today. The church reaches with one hand back to the cross and with the other to the needs of the world, it is challenging the young people on the one hand with the sacrifice of the cross and the other to give themselves to answering the needs of the world. It is a serious question however as to what the future of the church will be if there is not more consecration on the part of those who make the church of tomorrow than is being manifested by these same individuals in the work of the church of today.

JOHNSON IN BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS URGES SYMPATHETIC LEADERSIP. President Mordecai W. Johnson, delivering the Baccalaureate Address at Howard University, last Sunday, warned graduates against sophistication and the belief that the Negro is better off economically than he actually is. Two thousand people were assembled in the gymnasium and on the circular balcony, with many others unable to gain entrance to the building. The usual academic procession of deans, faculty, academic and professional students proceeded the exercise s. The invocation was delivered by the Rev. Samuel Judson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Washington. Dr. Johnson called attention to the membership of 800,000 in white colleges, 50 times the Negro collegiate enrollment, as evidence of a greater proportionate need for highly trained colored men and women. "The Negro in America," the Dr. Johnson said, "like the masses of all other people today, needs a leadership which is anxious to have him realize his fullest possibilities. The greatest need of the Nation is not men in power to control the people who enforce the law, but men in service of the Government who love the people and set the example of law observance. The danger confronting the Nation is not petty crime, but enormous and far-sighted greed of men of superior intellect, who in order to satisfy this greed and make themselves and their families secure forever, would throttle and choke and keep the people down." In decrying 'armchair philosophers and occasional thinkers', Dr. Johnson states, "It is just as impossible for Nietsche or Mencken to tell what will come out of the beakers of experimental chemistry if he puts the materials they contain together." Musical numbers were furnished by the University Choir, directed by Miss L. V. Childers and by Lester Dorsev, tenor. T. The benediction was given by the Rev. Ernest C Smith.

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 in the work given any one of the members of this faculty. DEPARTMENTAL WORK One of the most helpful features of the Congress work, is 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. to 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 congregation singing and the management of the church and its auxiliary 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.
