THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 33, WHAT ABOUT A NEGRO BUSINESS AND In Union there is strength. In division, envy, and jealousy there is weakness and a lack of power to accomplish worthy objects.

IF I HAD A SON (By Frank Carletin Nelson) IF I had a boy, I would say to him, Son Be fair and be square in the race you must run, Be brave if you lose and be meek if you win, Be better and nobler than I've ever been, Be honest and fearless in all that you do And honor the name I have given to you. If I had a boy, I would want him to know, We reap in this life about us we sow, And we get what we earn, be it little or great, Regardless of luck, and regardless of fate, I would teach him and show him, the best that I could, That it pays to be honest and upright and good. I would make him a pal and a partner of mine, And show him the things in this world that are fine, I would show him the things that are wicked and bad. For figure this knowledge should come from his Dad, I would walk with him, talk with him, play with him too, And to all of my promises, strive to be true. We would grow up together and I'd be a boy And share in his trouble and share in his joy, No pleasure in life, could be greater to me. We would work out problems together and then We would lay out our plans when we both would be men, And oh, what a wonderful joy it would be, POLICE DEPART. ACTIVITIES The following is a statement of the activities of the Wichita Police Department in the suppression of vice for the week ending November 10, 1929. Number of liquor violations reported to the County Attorney 13 Number of raids on questionable places 14 Evidence Selzed—Whiskey, 6 p. 13 Alcohol, 1 pint; Wine, 2 pints. Classification of Arrests—Liquor in possession, 13; Fornication, 8; Indecent, Exposure and Licentious Advances, 1; Running House of Prostitution, 1. Notable Arrests of the Week. This is another week that we have failed to catch a known bootleger. There has been very little liquor confiscated this week. We have devoted a large amount of time toward cleaning up some of our houses of prostitution; and as a result have made one case that we have gained a conviction on. In making this class of arrests, great care and lots of luck are the essential things. There is just certain kinds of evidence that are allowed in any trial, and in cases where a woman is running a house of prostitution this is very hard to get. We, however, got a break in one case and caught the landlady running into a room where one of the girls of the establishment was with a man to warn her that the "law" was up there. With evidence such as this it is very easy to get a conviction. In fact, it was so strong that she plead guilty. Some people are under the impression that the fact that we know to our knowledge that the women that are in the rooming houses are prostitutes is sufficient evidence to bring them to the station. This is entirely wrong, as we must be able to put convincing evidence in front of the jury, or the trial judge. O. W. WILSON, Chief of Police, HL BENNINGTON The club met in the home of Mrs. Holm, 1102 Olio. The raceing was called to order by the president. A very interesting business meeting was held; through Mrs. T. G. Klepper, teacher of the Parental Education at Dunbar School, the class and others were invited to hear a lecture by Dr. Baleria Parker, which was a treat; we shall not forget Mrs. Klepper, for she never forgets us. Much stress was put on the grand Dramatical Recital, and each one is looking forward to it. We were glad to have Mrs. Cwars with us; she gave a wonderful talk. Next meeting will be with Mrs. Gilford, 9'5 Mathewson Avo. --- SOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT HOLDS SESSION Last Thursday and Friday were District Days at Tabernacle Baptist; Church, Rev. C. M. Watson, past.

RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION $1.50 A YEAR Sunday School Lesson (1) THE YES TO BE SELF-MARKED (1) MEM LOR OF SANCTITY MONDAY BIBLE INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO (2) 1929 WESTERN WESTERN UNION Lesten for November 21 THE HIGHER PATRIOTIC: LESSON FENT-Jonah 113, 213 45-11 GOLDEN TEXT-And hath made of one blood all nations of men let in dwell on all the face of the earth PRIMARY TOPIC-God's Love for everybody JUNIOR TOPIC-God's Love for everybody INTERMEDIATE AND NO TOP IS WHAT IS TRUE PARTICIPANT THE TEACH COMMITTEE has rightly suggested the entire book of family as the basis of our study. The topic selected by the committee may seem a little strained. It will hardly do to call the spirit which moved Josh to preach to the Ninevites' patriotism rather, we should recognize it as the passion of a missionary going forth with the message of God calling upon men to repent and turn to Him. Patriotism means love for one's country while the spirit of the missionary is passionate love for lost man of all countries. I. Jonch's Call and Commission (1:1, 2). Jonah a low, was called to go and pranch repentence to a Gentle city in a real sense, salvation is of the Jews. In the seed of Abraham all nations of the earth shall be blessed (Gen 12:1, 2). The story of Jonah graphically portrays the history of Israel as a nation God separated Israel to be the channel through which His mercy and salvation were to be carried to all the nations of the earth. They, like Jonah, have been rewarded to duty. Because of this God has caused them to be swallowed up by the nations, who will one day in the future spur them out upon dry ground Palestine. After chantissement they like Jonah, will discharge their obligation and nations will repent and turn to God. 11. Jonah's Flight From Duty (1:3) He turned his back upon God and attempted to flee from His presence. He went in the opposite direction to which he was sent. He did not follow in foreign missions. In the same way Israel has become an apostate people and instead of a blessing has become a burden and curse to the nations. 11. Jonah's Correction (1:4-2:10). 1. Overtaken by a storm (1:5). Trouble soon came upon the disobedient servant of God. So with the Jews, misfortune after misfortune storm after storm have overtaken them because they turned from God. They are now tossed about by the nations. They, like Jonah, are asleep. In their perplexity the sailors cast lots and the lot fell upon Jonah. According to his own direction they did this. God had prepared a great fish which swallowed Jonah. 3 Jonah's deliverance (ch 2). Jonah in his allusion turned to God and prayed (James 5:13). God miraculously preserved him while in the belly of the fish. God has miraculously preserved basket while in the heart of the nations. The fish could not digest Jonah, neither can the nations assimilate Israel. Jonah repented while in the fish. So Israel will repent as she goes into the great tribulation. God made the fish to vomit out Jonah. So he will at the proper time cause the nations to cast out Israel. IV. Jonah's Commission Renewed (3:1-10). Although Israel has been rebellious and failed in the execution of her commission she will repent and go forward to fulfill her commission in preaching the gospel to the nations of the earth observe. 1. The field of his ministry (v. 3). It was to be the great Gentile city Nineveh. 2. His message (v. 4). He was instructed to "preach the preaching" which God had commissioned him to utter—Nineveh was to be overthrown within forty days. 3. Effect upon the people of Nineveh (v. 510). They repented and sued for pardon In the time to come the Gentle man nations will repent of their sins when the gospel of the kingdom is preached unto them by the Jews. V. Jonah's Behavior (4:111). 1. His dispensure (sv 12) He now makes known the real reason for his flight from duty. He knew that the grachus God would spare the people who repented. 2. God improves Jonah (sv 4:11) By means of the gourd God shows him his error. The closing scene of fords a striking example of the patience and pity of God in contrast with the hard heartedness of man. Hidden Gold Found A story is told of a man whose home and mill, all that he had in the world, were swept away by floods. But, as he stood on the scene of his loss, after the water had subsided, broken hearted and discouraged he saw something shining in the bank, which the water had washed away. It was gold. The flood which had gared him and made him rich. "Nor row strips off loved possessions but reveals the treasures of the love of God." BY REV. J. W. HAYES. and WILSON ALCHEM. When we are truly thankful, we show it in our conduct. To live our thanks, is much better than speaking them, however, we should express our gratitude. While we cannot number the things for which we should be thankful, we can live a thanksgiven life, which is the greatest manifesta.ion of gratefulness. Our gifts from God have not been measured by our goodness but by his love. He gives, not because we are worthy, but because He is good. We receive the best from our Heavenly Father for which we so often forget to give thanks. Take time each day to be alone with God, long enough to pour out your heart in thanksgiving. How do you feel when out of a heart of love and respect, you give a gift for which there is no expression of thankfulness? God gives to us daily; shall he wait longer for us to return to give Him Thanks? He created us, saved and sustains us—Stop now and give Him Thanks. THOUGHTS. If we are truly thankful, conduct and service speak the loudest. A spirit of gratitude opens the door to God's greatest gifts. We should not ask God for the End blessing until we have given thanks in a Christian life for the first. OTTAWA IDEAS Bethany S. S. opened at the usual time. Attendance fair.

Using a blackboard: the five periods of modes of Life with God's people were shown and explained. Then we were made to realize that, Jesus is not the Christ of gloom but helpfulness, friendliness, peace and joy. The Christian is not the apostle of gloom, but the faith, hope and love.

Everything is in our favor. Another fifty years will roll around before another so-compelling and auspicious occasion will come to Negro Baptists. Will we measure up to the Christ idea of GREATNESS, or will one or two of us little "pig-heads" try to know all, and make all of us flitter away the greatest incentive that has come to Negro Baptists in all its history? Let all who love God, love all the people, and our Baptist causes, above self-exaltation prayerfully but the very greatest, opportunity ever afforded Negro Baptists to finance their public institution. Through number of State Conventions of which New Jersey is one; District Associations, one hundred Ministers' Conferences and hundreds of personal letters by His help, I have reached nearly 18,000 of our preachers with an appeal: First, to o nerve Founders' Day; second to join in a post card shower for the last surviving THREE of the delegates who met November 24, 1880, and organized our National Baptist Convention; third, talk on the wonderful way God has led, protected, and prospered Negro Baptists during the neary 50 years of our organized efforts. In our first year of 1880 we received our first collection 1000, we raised in our collection F12.20. During the whole session, $328 60. During our 49th year—ending in June 30, we raised $737, 705.51. Add to this cum the $11,000 raised at Kansas City and it will be seen for the forty-ninth after our organization, we raised the appalling sum of $748,705. Wonderful! If we could know and add to this huge sum what the Lott Carey Society and others who aplit off from the Convention, Negro Baptist would show us pretty well in their giving for Missions and Christian Education. They grew, have grown, and are a growing people. Lastly, on Founders' Day, take an offering and divide that with the Historical Department, that it might be able to do the much needed task assigned it. Let us remember that no human organization or machinery can do for God's cause what He can do through His people when they pray. Let us pray for all our work. Yours in His service, L. G.
