Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.22, No.26, JUST THINKING BY WILLIAM EDGAR BAILEY The other day I was the very quiet listener to a religious argument, which waxed warmer as the discussion steadily progressed. "So you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God—who is God, what does He look like, what is the shape of His body, what is the color of His eyes, His hair—where is heaven, where is hell and how do you get to end place?" "Any man who believes that, can be nothing less than a fool!"—said one. I thought of the base rhetoric employed—the foolish waste of words, when the bowels of reason were already locked against the substance whose very passage is life itself. I thought of the titanic struggles of the yester years—of giant minds who have sought to appease, once for all, the trying unbelief of a skeptical world, but in vain. They cry, "Eureka," as a gleam of hope darts from the darkness of the mornings unbelief, but all too soon it drops back into the darkness of the same confusion and the night.—I weary things that we are, who cavil here today, on the morrow will be swept like so much vomit, from the doorsteps of the world! And what were my thoughts? Well, since you ask, I will humbly advance an opinion, but reluctantly so. I doubt very seriously whether any individual can state his hypothesis, his major premise and reason logically and conclusively, proving his contention that God is not, or that Christ is of God. He may advance the opinion that Christ was born not unlike other children of men,—sought the consolation of his mother in the moments of His childish sorrows, yearned for companionship, suffered the pangs of hunger, and His soul was often vexed, peculiar to the sons of men. Since other men under the same circumstance dare not claim their individual kinship with Jehovah, it is only reasonable to discredit the kinship in the case of Jesus the Christ. But this is merely an opinion and still does not disprove the personal Divinity of Christ in the argument under question. One brought face to face with the fallacy of his argument, naturally resorts to his only weapon of defense, which is the boomerang of abuse—that of calling his opponent the kind of fool as stated in the prelude. Asking who God is, or the color of His hair—asking where hell is or how you get there, does not prove there isn't a God or a hell. Calling a man a d.....n fool, proves positively nothing, and does n make a man a fool because he is called one. If it proves anything, the aggrieved of the two, is the worst; for he expects his opponent to prove positively, what he is unable to prove negatively. When one asks who and what God looks like, he very frankly admits that he knows nothing about him—in the course of argument, let me rmit that I know as little as he, if he knows nothing, and I know as little as he, doesn't it seem reasonable that my opinion is just as sound as his? Yes, and more so, for I ve the proof of the Bible, and he an opinion backed up by his own selfish belief. What is belief? Belief is uncertain conclusion, relative to a something which may or may not be true. A thing may be true, as you believe it to be but it is not true merely because you "Believe." It is true because it is, regardless of your belief. I have no contention to prove, but I do say, that an unound argument negatively, proves as little as an unound argument, positively. We argue to substantiate facts, and no amount nor kind of argument will obliterate the truth or falsity thereof. CENTRALIA, MO. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH REV. R. S. JONES, PASTOR. Rev.

He was born in Kewanee, Ill., in 1863. He received his education at Howe Academy, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa and at Oberlin, Ohio. He taught school in Missouri for a number of years; was married to Nannie A. Wilson of Springfield, Mo., in 1889. She is the only survivor. He came to Wichit in 1889 and worked very hard, and began investing his money in real estate. He homesteaded in Western Kansas and also has property there and in Oklahoma. Mr. Jones was interested and active in politics. He once served on the State Central Committee of the Republican Party. His political career was a romance, indeed, and he found delight in relating political experiences and campaigns. Mr. Jones was very much interested in his fraternity: He was a Mason; he organized the local Arkansas Valley Lodge and was also one of the men who engineered the movement in securing the Masonic Hall; he served as Deputy Grand Master of the Kansas Grand Lodge, and was presented a bucks.in apron in recognition of his service and leadership. This apron was buried with him. Mr. Jones had a distinguished career as a peace officer: He served as local jailer, detective, police and guard at the State Penetentiary. He was twice appointed to the latter position, and later appointed messenger. These two positions he held for fourteen years. Mr. Jones was cited for unusual bravery and daring in connection with a strike and riot at Lansing; The men in the mines had struck—720 below the ground; they sent word to the warden that unless terms were granted, they would kill the twelve (12) guards one at a time and send their bodies to the top. Mr. Jones volunteered and led a guard patrol of six men, down into the mines and quelled the riot. The Governor cited him from meritorious service. Mr. Jones believed in Wichita, and in it a desirable place in which to make his contribution towards ma'live. His passing is mourned by a host of friends of all classes and of both races.

Y P U, LESSON BY REY, 4 W. HAYES. SUNDAY, OCT. 6, 1929 Subject: “Ideals Worth Living For” Text: Phil, 3:7-145 4:3; Gal, 5:22, 23 An ideal is a mental image or picture, & conception of what ought to be, an abstract principle. A man without an {deal Is like « ship without @ port or a dove with. out an ark, Something beyond which {s worthy of the best within us is essential to a noble life, The feeling that we are going to- ward @ life more real and sublime, has been the hope of all the ages. The ideals of Christ are worth living for, Paul speaks of his great loss away from Jesus, Lose of time, energy, happiness and peace. No lite Is right in which Christ is nol We can afford to spend all only for the pearl of great price. The Christ ideals make the glory of God and the happiness of man the goal of life. The task of the church is to ine spire ideals worth living for. It is striving to produuce a citizenship on the Christ pattern. Paul gave all that he might win Christ and know the power of Ilis resurrection and the fellowship of Iiis suffering. THOUGHTS The Christian ideals should lift us above the plains of the frivolous. Our ideals and a will to realize them should s0 Rostess us that hindrant ces would become stepping-stones. The man with noble ideals has something for which to live and something to help him live. BY. M. LIVINGSTON 1, What is Man’s Duty Toward God? 2. To His Fellowman? 3. To His Country? 4. To His Home? 6. To His Church? Continued from last week) My dear brethren, sisters, friends and fellow citizens; it comes to me at this time, these thoughts to write unto you, if you will pardon me; these are the things I deem needful in these times, things that if put into practice, would no doubt, bring results that would be opprov- ed by the Holy name of one who knows all things, Onc Who says in the 9th verse of 2nd chapter of Rev, I know thy works; and 13th verse, le cays, 1 know where satan’s seat is. Now my good people, I wocld hke to appeal to you that the time has come which was spoken by fone of the apostles that men will not endure sound doctrine, but will turn aside unto fables and seducing of spirits, and sre gone aboct to set up idol gods, to worship. New in my last thoughts on the home life, 1 believe the thing most needed to make a home what it ought to be a place where human life exists without the family altar, is to go to God and put the family altar in the home and love will abide, If the man is not # Christian when he marries, he should become one at once, or the woman hkewise. The olny remedy for prosperity is action. All soldiers when enlisted in the army, drafted or what not, they are "in there for service; and if you fail to serve when needed, hy the rules that has been adopted, you will either be killed or put into prison for some time, The same thing will happen in home hfe, Your service ig needed to make heme woat it should be; if the homy is nroorr care of, families would not be uneasy when they leave home, or when thelr children are out. [all w.uid take care of his duty to the ~c and paint the sign on your door post +t would bo easy to devel4 op the minds of young people, so they will make great men and wor men, I suggest the plan to bring wome of these things to pass, not a few but all who know God in the pardon of their sins, swing back to the old land-mark, not only at the church but at home. if you build up those torndown homes and gp out with a clear conscience for hav- ing not defiled your brother’s home; Your conscience will then let you mect him with a smile, Our Great Makor and Redeemer: at this time, as I close this para- graph ‘on duty to home, I do humbly eseech Thee, grant Thy Holy Spirit will take the lead of man’s mind, especially this Nation of ours, which for a long while has been asleep and now to awake to the sense of duty; help us to open our eyes and look over the fields, for they are white, and ure ready to harvest; Help us to know that without brothd and that we also need our brother. Help us to know htat without broth- gy, love and ca operation, we are a\complete failure, and home life will be of mnon-ecect, Help us to understand that if we have not the “sre for one another, we have not the care for Thee nor Thy church, and help us to know, if we fail to comply with Your command, the church will not cease, but our pros. erity will fail, Final warning words: Whatever one practices at Nome will be seen publicly, Calvary Bantist Church REY, J.
