Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE THE MEN CONROE COLLEGE QUARTETTE OF CONROE. TEXAS who was in Wichita, a few weeks ago enroute to Chicago, and other points, was in the city Monday night, Dec. 16, and appeared at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. We learned that while being SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST PLEA The Colored Seventh-Day Adventist people of the Harlem Church of New York, have unanimously voted to sever their relation with the governing body, because of the unbearable conditions that exist in the denomination. This took place at a meeting called at the request of the President of the Greater New York Conference of Seventh-Day Adventist, New York City, to present charges to the congregation against its pastor, Elder J. K. Humphrey, who has for twenty-seven years served his congregation in New York City. There were about a thousand people present at this meeting to voice their protest against this outrage. The reason given for the taking away of the credential of the pastor was that he had been engaged in an enterprise leading to the establishment of a Sanitarium, Old Folk's Home, an Orphangage and an Industrial School on a beautiful site in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, to be owned, operated and controlled by colored people and the pastor was charged for doing this without the counsel, knowledge, advice and consent of the white head. The meeting soon became uncontrolable and bid fair to develop into a riot which was prevented by the quick action of the pastor himself, who prevented the immediato ejection of the white men. The governing organization of the denominatian was strongly represented by W. Spincer President of the General Conference, C. K. Myers, Secretary of the General Conference, E. K. Slade, President of the Union Conference and Louis K. Flickson, Secretary and Treasurer, John K. MacMillian and William R. Andrews a local committeeman. These white men were very glad to get out with their lives. The colored people have at last realized that in order to progress and develop as a race along spiritual, mental, mental and physical lines they must separate from the white body. The colored people have been putting hundreds of thousands of dollars into the hands of the white conferences without any returns other than the pitiful little salaries paid to the colored preachers. The colored people receive no benefits whatever and are not allowed to enter their schools, sanitaryums or public institutions. They will not even employ a bell boy or chamber maid in any of their institutions. We feel that like the A. M. E., the National Bartist Convention, we would do by far better if we were to Vol. 22, No. 37, a few Chicago, in the G. and M. E. being in Chicago, they put their voices upon Victrola records. They left Wichita, for Conroe College, but will tour parts in Kansas and Oklahoma between now and Christmas. sever connection with the white people and control our own work. This question is more than a local church affair, it concerns the race, and if the white denomination cannot show any better example of their Christianity in these days of religious fervor and activity, then the Negro may as well universally decide to work out their own salvation without the interference and control of the white people. This is the beginning of a nation-wide effort of the Negro Seventh-Day Adventist to liberate themselves from white domination for efficient service. The time has come for the colored ministers of this denomination to stand up like men with backbone and fight for their people and not to allow the cry of apostacy, which is used only as an intimidation to frighten them from the service and obligation which is due their race.

Anderson from Psalm 25:9; text "Good and Upright is the Lord." Subject; "The Goodness of God." All who heard this excellent sermon were surely revived, after hearing of God's Goodness. This certainly was a spiritual fentt. Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 for Little Helen Lewis, from Maple Street, --- TRIBUTE TO MOORFIELD STORY SYNDICATED IN WHITE PRESS NEW YORK, Dec. 18—The following editorial tribute to the late Moorfield Storey, is being syndicated in white newspapers throughout the country, appearing in places as widely distant as Dayton, Ohio, and Miami, Florida: "Men like Moorfield Storey, who has lately died, are a good deal of a nuisance. This Massachusetts lawyer was forever pestering a practical world with his moral scruples. He was forever bothering us, for instance, with the record of our depollings of our Indian wards. "When the United States was unctuously taking up the white man's burden in the Phillippines, Storey was pestering his party with his protests against the new American imperialism. When most of us wanted to be restfully forgetful of the Negro and his problems, Moorfield Storey was paching along his National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "If some fellow that Storey thought as getting the worst of it from the law was unable to finance his own case through the courts, it would be just like Moorfield Storey to plod uncompensated clean through to the Supreme Court to see that justice was done. "Such men disturb our pleasant complacency. They make trouble and cause pain, like the dentist who tortures us free of an infected tooth." with Rev. Teal in charge. Rev. Anderson preached Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights at Maple Street. Wednesday night candle light services were conducted by Rev. Anderson. Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Proctor drove to Tulsa, Okla. and spent Sunday. Those included on the sick list are Grandmother Pruitt and Mrs. Teal. WATCH TOWER NOTES If you did not send postcards to Mrs. D. B. Pettiford, 6226 Hartford Avenue, Detroit, Michigan. Drs. T. L. Jordan, 1112 51st Avenue, Meridian, Mississippi, and J. M. Armstead, Portsmouth, Virginia, the last three of the 151 delegates of record who were in the organization of our National Baptist Convention, on Nov. 24, 1880, do it now. Your thoughtfulness will be appreciated by them. WTN The Northern and Southern Baptists date their greatest progress from a meeting held in Philadelphia, May 18, 1814 to plan missions in regions beyond and our own greater development can be marked from our meeting in Montgomery, Ala-lann, November 24, 1880. WTN Pledging of large sums by individual pastors to our Jubilee Fund is good, but to be successful we must reach the individual members—here is the task of the commission to be reported at Tampa. Georgia Baptists had a great meeting. Dr. Nabrit, one of the most efficient if not the very best secretaries the National Baptist Convention ever had, is president, and my personal friend, but in their rush, for nearly twenty-four hours, I well-nigh fainted in my anxiety to just tell my brethren about the "Postcard" Shower for Mrs. Pettiford and Drs. Jordan and Arm. tead, the last three survivors of organizers of our National work. But I am sorry to say that when I got the chance to speak Friday night, the delegates were about all gone. To have announced this matter, Thursday would have sent the information through Georgia; but alas, I was not granted the privilege. (Continued in 5th column) PREACHERS ARE NOT CALLED TO DO EVERYTHING BY NANNIE H. BURROUGHS WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec Preachers, as a class, are just about as human as men in one character-building professions. Some of them get as much pay, many of them more presents; all of them get more dissecting and analyzing. The best ones never get what they deserve and the crooked ones get away with too much. The fraternity as a whole gets more confidence and bury more secrets than the members of other International Cruders of the Helpers of Men. Ministers occupy a more responsible position that any other class of men. They should therefore, be cleaner in character, more unselfish in purpose, qualified in training, progressive in character, more social-minded in spirit, devout in heart, and not lazy. Modern standards and conditions require that ministers fill their minds before they open their mouths. The blind cannot lead the blind, and those who have sight are not going to let the blind lead them. Ministers of today have super-human tasks to perform and they must not only be called of God and then trained in theology, but they must have special training in executive and administrative church work. Their first duty, however, is to preach the Gospel; To make their work effective, they must know how to plan, adapt, manage, direct, and develop a program of Christian service. They must be city preachers and at the same time, Gospel farmers. They must plow the field, plant the seed, and cultivate the crop. It requires intelligence, technical training, consecration, industry, love, sanctified common sense and vision to do it. The ministers stand in a large place of opportunity and obligation, and no ordinary men can stand there Character is the first qualification, without that the minister is a menace. We have thousands of men who say that God called them to preach Well. we will have to take their word for it since it is God's business to do the calling, but since the churches must have prepared men, it might be their business to call the "called" to prepare. The early ministers among Negroes had the spirit which was a fine substitute for their educational lack. They were marvelous men. Some of them are still going on gloriously, but we have a large army of young gospel hoboes who lack everything except lung power. Instead of going to school they male beeline for the pulpit and wade around misrepresenting the Lord. They should not be allowed eo try to preach until they are prepared. The day has come when ministers who are trained in Hebrew, Greek, and Theology, should take courses in modern church management. Not many churches are able to employ assistant pastors, but all churches need good executives, not men who want to run everything themselves, but men who know how to parcel out the work," place responsibility, and get results. In this day when laymen are intelligent it is only fair and sensible to let them help carry on the work of the church. It develops them and enriches the church. If the preachers would give the laymen more definite work to do the preachers would not have so much trouble, to do or they certainly will work on Laymen have to have some work the preacher Of course, it is not the laymen's business to run the church but it is his business to help. Don't force while we are talking about training that the Donors and Trustees have training as well as the preachers. Dumb deacons have gone out of style and trustees who cannot read and understand cannot be trusted. Our churches are too lonely and canised and that is why so many members are running wild. If the ministers were practical executives this condition would not prevail. Many of our preachers like to be POLICE ACTIVITIES WICHITA, KANSAS, Dec. 9.—The following is a report of the activities of the Wichita Police Department for the week ending December 8, 1922: Number of liquor violations repeated to Copunty Attorney 8 Number of raids on questionable places. CONTRABAND SKIZED—Whis- lily 4 pints; Beer 10 gallons and 1 quar; Alcohol 3 quarts and 2 pints; Corn Mash 100 gallons. One 20 gallon still, 1 set cooling colls, 2 mash vats. CLASSIFICATION OF APRESTS CLASSIFICATION OF ARRESTS Liquor in possession, 8. still and mash in possession, 1; Dope fiends 1; gambling, 22. NOTABLE ARRESTS OF THE WK CLIFFORD MORRIS—1423 Ohio, has been making liquor for a long time. He is a former convict from Missouri. He was caught with his father several months ago with two stills in their possession. Their case is still pending; so I guess he thout that he would start up again so as to have enough money to get by on. He said when he was arrested that it was the easiest money that he knew how to make. HARRY HYDE—is another bootleger that works in the colored end. He was caught making a delivery of a quart of alcohol. He had a gallon that he delivered the quart out of and started to leave the house when the officers caught him with the rest. FRED BOWLES—100 Shirk Ave. has been running a beer joint that has been patronized by a bunch of young men of the wealthier class of people. We caught him Saturday night running a gambling game and selling beer. We have been unable to do much this week due to the fact that we are in Kansas City, Kansas, appearing before the Federal Grand Jury. While there we presented evidence that led to the announcing of an indictment against George Shiblum, whom we caught some time ago and tried to send to the penitentiary. He was indicted under the Jones Law that carries a penalty of 1 to 5 years and $10,000 fine. O. W WILSON, Chief of Police II L. PFNNINGTON, Captain of the Vice Sqund the whole show in their churches. They do everything from raising the collection to raising sand. That is the kind of usurpation that will result in bad management and the reasons why churches rundown on the minister or run the minister down. The fact of the matter is that when it comes to the work that is done by the Pastor, the average gets a great deal more than it pays for. This, of course, is partly the preacher's fault. In too many, of our churches the preacher is the lawyer, doctor, real estate dealer, teacher, editor, social worker, taxi driver, architect, builder, banker special adviser, politician, preacher, thirteen in one. He is consulted about everything and tries to dabble in everything. A jack of all trades in the pulpit is usually a "jack leg." Every preacher should be interested in Community Welfare, but no man can fill thirteen positions without running into some kind of bad luck in handling twelve of them. The sensible preacher, preaches the gospel and directs the church program in which all deacons, trustees and members share with him in a large way, all the other work of the church. T is leaves him a little time to study visit shut-ins, conduct marriages, bury the dead, direct the general work of the church and create the atmosphere in which all members are happy to work. The right kind of pastor knows how to make the people work while he steers the ship. (Continued from old column) The Baptist had a great meeting, heard us gladly and gave $5003 to the Department. WTN With the indebtedness on our Publishing House, Our Seminary, Our Training School, and each of the agencies in the hards of godly, praying men, Negro Baptists will be a blessing to the group and to the whole world as well. With the Golden Jubiles of the National Five Cents Per Copy. EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT Walter White, acting secretary of the N. A. C. P. for the Advancement of Colored People, has written an open letter to the National Woman's Party, which convene in Washington, in this month, asking them whether their proposed equal rights amendment to the Constitution, for women, and men, included equal rights for colored women with white citizens in southern states. The letter in full, copies of which were sent to Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, President, and Jane Norman Smith, Chairman of the National Council as follows: "Its purpose is to ask for his support of the federal equal rights Amendment. This Amendment has been for several years before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary which has never reported it. It reads "Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction." One claure has never received the attention which its extraordinary significance should commend. It reads, "equal right thruout the United States." Throughout the North beginning with the presidential election in November 1920, Colored women and white men have had equal voting rights. In some Southern states, also, some Negro women have vated in some places. But in Florida when a group of duly qualified Colored women attempted to vote, the men who accompanied them to the polls were shot and killed. In general, Colored women, have not in the South, where most of them live, equal voting rights with white men, even since 1920. "How does the Woman's Party interpret this enormously important clause? Which women does it expect to have equal rights with which men? "For several million colored women living in the South, it is important that the public should know definitely how the Woman's Party interprets the work, "equal" as applied to them and to their rights under the proposed amendment. Congress and the Legislatures also should know definitely the answer of the Woman's Party to two questions asked even more insistently, especially in states where Negroes hold the balance of power as in Missouri: "Do you internet the words, men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States? to mean that black women shall have equal voting rights with white citizens in Alabama, Florida Mississippi, and South Carolina? As they od for instance, in New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois?" "And if not, what do you expect those words to mean in actual urtication if and when the Amendment is ratified?" "Or is this intended to be solely a white women's equality amendment? Or a Northern women's equality amendment? Wmendment? Without interpretation either by the Party on by the highest court, and according to the literal everyday meaning of the words as they stand, it appears to apply to all women, black and white, native and alien. Superficially it reads like a Blanket equality amendment. "Is this what the Woman's Party pl, and South Carolina? As they do If not why does it not say soy so? If it afraid?" Baptist Convention as an incentive, we can raise more than a million dollars on or before November 21, 1930, if we will. We have the people who can give the money; the cause to spur them on and the God come for earning this money, will above, through whom occupations aid us. The spirit—the unselfish spirit is the only lack on the part of those of us who are called to lead his people. We are able, so let us arise, organize, and by His aid, say, WE WILL WIN.

And while this is a Christian festival its influence has reached all mankind, Mankind should be grateful because of Xmas: Ist, because it makes us unselfish, On this day, we think of the happiness arid pleasure of others. 2nd, It makes the leos forthnate of humanity feel thet somebody cares for them, We wish that this spirit of “Peace on earth and good will to men” would come, not only once & year but every day in the year. And if those of us who celebrate the day would think of the one whose birth gave us this day, of His goodness, kindness, love and humanity, every- day would be Xmas in spint, and mankind would be experiencing 8 new day, 8 new heaven end new earth where dwellcth righteousness.

All of the money to run this school was ealeed from Baptists and much of the money given at a sacrifice. Now, if thera were no qualified Baptists to hold there positions, then use others. When we need a brick, ma- son, @ painter or carpenter to work on a Daptist building, and Baptists have been too lazy to prepare, then we must get a Catholic, Campbellite orasinner, What we want is some one who can do the job; but every~ thing being equal, why use Baptist money to employ others and allow our own to go unemployed? This sort of thing will discourage pastor and churches in thelr giving. Paul puts It, ifwe will not provide for our own, ay those associated with us in the faith, we are worse than Infidels, and have dented the faith. 7 Yours in His service, L. G. JORDAN, Historian, See.
