Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22 No. 22, The Southeastern District of Kansas Missionary Baptist Association that closed its 44th annual session in Independence, July 22nd to 26th, was indeed a wonderful meeting, one of the best in the history of its organization; it was marked for harmony and progress. The ministers and deacons union presided over by the Rev. J. S. King, began its meeting on Tuesday Morning, the 22nd; then came the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission with Sister Mary Dial as president. Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, 23rd and 24th; Association proper, convened Thursday and Friday, 25th and 26th. Of the 22 churches on roll, comprising the district, 21 of them were represented in the meeting. The sermons preached were inspiring. The topics discussed were uplifting. The reports of all committees were full and to the point. The financial success of the meeting was good $461.55 being report'd by the finance committee. The Moderator's annual address was a masterly document, touching every phase of the work in the district. Of the 21 churches representing, 14 of them had been visited by him. So it can be readily seen that he was in touch with the work. He was unanimously elected for the 10th successive time as Moderator. One new church was added to the District: New Hope Baptist, Church, Havana, Kansas. Following is the Moderator's Annual Address: MODERATOR'S ANNUAL ADDRESS. REV. JOHN TRAVIS ELIAS, D. D. Moderator of Southeastern District Association, Pittsburg, Kansas. The Eighth Annual Address, delivered at Independence, Kansas, July 26, 1929. "Belloved Fellow Laborers in the Service of Jesus Christ, the Lord:" Through the loving kindness and tender mercies of our Heavenly Father and Him only, are we spared and permitted to greet each other in the 44th Annual session. Some have folded their tents and stacked their arms, during the passing of this associational year and are waiting our coming; others have become incapacitated for regular service, which we regret so much. But God, the Just, knows what is best for us, so let us rejoice instead of weeping and work with our Partner, God, "while it is day" for the night will soon come when we too, must fold our tents and stack our arms and pass to the Great Beyond. The program of Christ in the local church is lagging (1) Because the individual member is not doing his duty in the church; (2) There is a woeful lack of co-operation on the part of the members of the church with each other and the pastor, (the cause is the lack of love for God and each other) (3) In some of the churches Christ's program is being disregarded; (4) The cause of lagging is the lack of love for God, the things of God and being lost in selfishness and self love. Truly the indictment brought by Jesus against the church of Ephesus in Rev. 2:4, is applicable to the individual and the church of today, Brethren and sisters, we face an individual indictment today and have been tried and stand convicted as an individual and as a church, and the only way to escape the penalty is to "repeat and do the first works." Rev. 2:5. To us watchmen (the pastors) let us preach a whole Gospel and stand firm for God's Church Program as outlined by Jesus Christ and taught by the Apostles. UNLEARNED LESSONS I wish to call your attention again to a few outstanding facts, (1) The uniting of railroads, of banks Trust Companies and all Cigantic corporations of the United States of Amer- (Continued on page three) EVERY WAGE A CAPITALIST The best guarantee for continued prosperity that we have is that millions of our citizens, in all walks of life, are buying securities in our great industries. This is real public ownership, built on sound economic principles. It makes for better and more stable business and government. It is a major factor in advancing the financial and social status of the average person. The modern stock exchange with its new standards of efficiency and integrity, has played an invaluable part in this movement. By its scientific examination of the stocks it lists, it has discouraged fraudulent or unsound issues. By audits made of member brokerage houses, it has fought the dishonest manipulator. The person who buys an interest in a great business, and receives dividends therefrom, is a part of the greatest social and economic revolution in world history—a revolution which is making every wage-earner a "capitalist."

Messrs Lee and Edd. Turner have established a restaurant at 507 East Archer Street and they kindly are asking the patronage of the general public. Courtesy and a fair deal is our motto.

Favors preached a real spiritual sermon Sunday morning at 1st Baptist to his people and all enjoyed being present. Rev. Favors preached at Hosea Chapel for Rev. Tyler Sunday at 3:00 o'clock. The圣士s worshiped with the A. M. E. Church, last Sunday at 3:20 p. m. Mrs Armstrong spoke for Rev. D. C. Miller. Sunday evening, the students rendered a program at the A. M. E. Church. Many good things were said, and good papers read, which, seemingly all enjoyed. Mr. Samuel York spoke on The Negro in College, and brought out many good points. Mr. Robert Chambers' subject was, Negro Parent and Child, This was good subject and was WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 6, 1929 THE DEATH OF SOCIALISM-? "Fifteen or twenty years ago it (socialism) was making immense progress in the United States," said H. J. Menck a, in his "Prejudices: Sixth Series." "All the young college professors, in those days, were Socialists, as they are now eugenists and birth controllers. It swept and enchanted the tender-minded. Fat women wept over it, as they now weep over the Armenians. But one day it colloded slambang with the harsh and horrible facts. One day it was put to the test in Russia, and promptly blew up. Even the tender-minded could not dodge the appalling proofs. So they fled this direction and that. Some took to spiritualism, dame to chiropractic, come to Genesis. Some * * * to hibition, the Single Tax, fasting, and the electronic vibrations * * * But not one, so far as I can make out, took to sense." Some time has passed by since Mr. Mencken wrote his vivid sentences. Socialism has blown up time and again but its adherents, "tenderminded" as ever, are always with us. The great body of the American people, however, seem to have become convinced of the absurdity of Socialism and all the other panaceas that would abolish individual rights for a dubious bureaucratic Utopia. Kans. Vocational School Prof. Clement Richardson and family returned Saturday night from their Eastern motor trip, visiting many of the large cities in the east. Under direction of Mr. G. T. Bryant and Coach, Frank Douglass, a force of boys are rapidly pushing forward with the work on the athletic field. At the entrance of the field on the South road, a very impressive gateway has been designed by Mr. Bryant. The entrance consists of four immense brick and stone pillars. The two largest in the middle are decked with flag-poles. One is to serve as a ticket booth and the other as a storeroom. Around the field, a six foot fence is being built. Coach Douglass has spent much time leveling up the field and building a quarter mile track around it. The track will have a rock bed of nine inches in depth and a surface of six inches. When the work is completed, K. V. S., will have one of the most impressive athletic h... this section. Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Bryant left Monday, for their home in St. Louis, after several weeks' visit at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Richardson. Several new teachers have already arrived and other members of the faculty are expected soon for the first faculty meeting which will be held Tuesday morning, September 3. K. V. S., is being frequented with visitors, as a result of people coming to put their children in school, which opens September 9. true and helpful things were said. The Future of the Negro was well discussed by Mr. Warren Jones. We feel very proud of these young men, as their talks put all who heard them to thinking; and believe some day, they will be able to be numbered among the great men of the race. Mr. Jones is a young man, of whom we are all very proud; he is making his way through medical college without help and is doing fine, and the best of all, he never forgets his widowed mother. We are also proud of our girls: Miss Sydna Brown who is in school in Emporia, for teachers' training, gave a reading, "Leonanie, which was very beautifully rendered. Miss Helen York gave a musical reading. "Keep a Smiling, accompanied by Sydna Brown; she also expects to enter school at Emporia for a teachers' course. The teachers, Miss Dorothea Frey and Miss Eleanor Davis have made their appearance for school work. We are honing they will find it very pleasant with parents and children co-operating. Let the parents take active parts in this school year for THE NATIONAL NEGRO MUSICIANS CONVENTION TORI' WORTH, JEXAS—The meeting of the Convention was in instructive business session during the week. much time was spent in class-room work as to the best modes and methods of teaching music, and how early (or at what ages) children should begin music. Delegates from all over the United States were present, also a foreign representative. Wichita was represented at this meeting by Miss Dorothy L. Sims; founder and president of Coleridge Taylor Conservatory of Music. This conservatory has the only National branch in the state. The program shows that Miss Sims was to appear once on program; reports show that she appeared the fifth time, including three piano solos broadcast over W. B. A. P., station in Fort Worth. These reports tell that she did credit to Wichita, and Kansas, putting Wichita, on the map, musically. Wichita, will be pleased to know that it is leading the majority of the cities musically, both in appreciation and equipment. The only fisuola in a Negro Studio reported to the National, is at the C. T. C., in Wichita, Kansas. The meetings were very enthusiastically attended. Thesame officers were re-elected, according to the bylaws. Mr. J. Wesley Jones. President, will entertain the Convention next year in Chicago, Ill. Among the leading artists presented on artist night were: Miss Ernestine Jessie Covington, pianist, who graduated with honor from Oberlin and has won four Juliard foundations in succession and she is one of the best Negro pianists of today. Mr. Louis Vaughn Jones, violinist, who is just back from Paris, displayed unusual ability as violinist The people of Wichita, will be pleased to know that Miss Marguerite Sanford, formerly of Wichita, was accompanist for Mr. Jones. Many will be glad to know that some of those from Wichita, enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. Winn, while attending the musical convention. Mrs. Winn was formerly Miss Famie Mae Bailey, and formerly taught piano at the C. T. C., in Wichita. the golod of all concerned. GONE TO REST Mrs. Geo.

FARM SERVICE ROADS ARE IMPORTANT Farm organization officials declare that the deplorable condition of the farm service roads which the majority of farmers must use in getting to an from their farms to the paved highways, has become a serious matter. While the farmers of the United States are paying seven per cent of the taxes for state and local highways, less than three per cent of the farms are reached by paved roads. Five million farmers are living on muddy, rutty, dusty roads, and there in the United States 2,481,822 miles of unimproved highways, with only 187,000 miles of high type surfaces such as asphalt, brick, and similar materials. A large part of the time of the Eighth Annual Paving Conference to be held at West Baden Springs, Indians, October 28, to November 1. will be taken up discussing the most practical methods of improving secondary, or fasm service roads. Cooperative study of low cost roads is being conducted jointly by the United States Bureau of Public Roads and the Ashphalt Association. WATCTOWER NOTES gathering of its kind, should allow themselves to be fooled by the fakes and pick-pockets.. When you allow yourself to join any stranger to get something for nothing, you may expect to get beat—the principle is wrong. The G. R., is a good motto to adopt. WTN The Church Covenant and Articles of Faith are printed in such cheap form nowadays, any member can get them. A knowledge of the letter and spirit of these fundamental Baptist principles will add to the intelligent, religious and church life of Baptists anywhere. The testimonial given the historian by the Ministers' Conference of Philadelphia, was on of the happy spots in my public career. It was on motion of Dr. Goff, Editor of the Christian Review. Some friends of the Union Baptist Church while we pastored 33 years ago, sent contributions to thab fund. We thank one and all for the sweet spirit of remembrance. WTN The spirit to celebrate in a large way the Golden Jubilee of our National Baptist Convention in 1930 is greatly on the increase among Negro Baptists everywhere. Many of the most far-sighted and best organizers have already been appointed on committees and we may reasonably look forward to a splendid program. A committee should go out to Liberia either before or after the meeting and hold a celebration here. Nothing but our concentration on poor, sinning, sorrowing and sobbing Africa and our interest in her plight which has stood the storm of the robbery of a whole Publishing House and the spirit of graft which has taken the whole of many whome our churches trusted—nothing could At 8 o'clock, after song service by the Senior Choir, Rev. Marshall chose for his text, Rev. Subject: "The Open Door;" and delivered a wonderful message. The Holy Ghost was present, with us all day. At the close of service, Communion service was held. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dorsey were fellowshipped into the church. At 8.00 a, m, Mrs. Fenney Dorsey was baptized in Soden Grove. Many witnessed the baptizing. Miss Sadie Fisher, Messrs Claud and Richard Fisher of Olivet spent Sunday in Emporia, visiting their sister, Mrs. Erma Thomason. Mrs. Stephenson and sons of Omaha, Nebr., are visiting her sister, Mrs. J. S. Wilson. Mrs. W. E. Carter went to Topeka, (Continued on page four) Five Cents Per Copy. BRIEF FILED IN SCHOOL CASE --- NEW YORK, Aug. 30—Robert L. Bailey, of Indianapolis, attorney for the N. A. A. C. P., in the Gary School Case, has informed the National Office of the Association that the brief in the appeal was filed in the Supreme Court on August 19th. The Gary Branch of the Association, with the aid of the National Office, has been fighting this case for two years, following a student strike in 1927 which led to the barring of Negro students from the Emerson High School. A writ of mandamus to compel the school authorities to readmit the colored pupils was denied by Judge Grant Crumpacker of the Porter County Circuit Court, and it is from this denial that appeal is being taken. Associated with the Attorney Bailey is Attorney Edward McKinley Bacoun of Gary. The expense of the appeal is being borne by the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P., from the Legal Defense Fund. CRACKED DISHES ARE UNSANITARY CRACKED DISHES ARE UNSANITARY Have you any cracked dishes on your cupboard shelves? This may sound like a hunt for antiques, but it is really a plea for sanitation. Miss W. Pearl Martin who is health and sanitation specialist in the extension division at K. S. A. C. says that cracks in dishes are the lodging place for germs which adulterate food. Dish water and tiny particles of food seep into cracks and chips. Though a crack looks very, very small, it must be remembered that bacteria are invisible. The tendency to use a cracked plate just as long as it will hang together is thus mere false economy. If the dish be really old enough to be valuable as Americana or if it has sentimental associations with a persons or an occasion then it may be carefully lifted to a place of honor and security. In no case is it really "safe" to use cracked or chipped china. All cupboard shelves should be checked over for cracked dishes that may be the breeding grounds of hundreds of unseen enemies to health. have held us together fifty years but our yearning to see her brought to Christ. The American Baptist Missionary Conventions organized in 1964, Western and Southern Missionary Conventions organized in 1864, the the Consolidated Missionary Baptist Convention organized in 1886, all of these passed out of existence before we were organized. But none of them was so ratuated with unselfish love for the lost, as were our fathers when they met on that cool autumn day in Montgomery, Ala., November 24, 1880, and established the Foreign Mission Convention of the United States of America. Just as long as we keep in mind our great objectives and remember that we have come to the kingdom, "for such a time as this,"—just so long shall we continue to live and grow. Truly inspired was James Weldon Johnson, who wrote the National Negro Anthem:— "Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died: Come to the place for which our fa- ther elicited? Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way: Keep us forever in the path, we pray, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;" etc. Yours in His service, L. G.

If we won't do what Jesus says, suppose we take a few lessons from the big business of the world. But until we learn the lesson of Our Father God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, we will continue marking ume pnd die without making any noticable progress, Let us remember brethren that co-operation often means saciifice; it became necessary foe both North and South to make a tremendous sacrifice in order to maintain the integrity of the Union, It took a bloody war and a great loss of hfe to teach us the lesson, But out of that terrible disaster was born a new nation, each state now co oper> ating as a whole ond making our country the strongest nation on the face of the earth.
