Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 44, M. DR. GEORGE W. CARVER DRAWS WICHITA TO HIS FEET The Great Scientist, of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, has most profoundly moved our community. Never before has he people of both races, clamored to hear any speaker, as was true of Dr. Carver. Monday night—The first meeting, held under auspices of the two Universities, was most significant indeed. About two hundred of the best citizens of both races, in equal number, had a fellowship dinner together, at North High School, Dr. Bakkum presided and Dr. Foght introduced Dr. Carver. The entire group was most profoundly moved by Dr. Carver's message. He not only evidences a great Scientific Mind, but also a deep Spiritual Life. His other appearances were at the two High Schools, the two Universities and the American Chemical Association. The one impressive aspect of his messagee was the utter lack of any consciousness of his race. He spoke his own sight, as a scientist, and not as a Negro. The local presses were most generous in their report. They carried daily stories and editorials. Dr. Carver spoke to over five thousand person in his six messages. Many persons heard him three and four times. Fort Scott News Notes SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH REV. W. W. THOMAS, PASTOR Mrs. Pearl C. Thomason, Reporter Sunday, Feb. 2nd, a lovely day and a day of joy.

Read at B. Y P. U.—Feb. 2, 1930) By Mrs. Corine Knight-Bruce. BY SIRS CORNE RIGHTHORSE The hope of any community or a nation is largely in her young people; the day is not far off when the heavy burdens of society must be transferred to them. Correct ideas of life are important, and correct habits are essential. We must give our young people a chance. First, the youth of today must be prepared, but they should never choose a life's work simply to make money but remember the greatest reward is not the money you make, but it is the doing of a perfect price of work. Every parent should give their boy or girl a chance. They should not be so anxious to get them off their hands. We never know what is in a child by just looking at it. It is through the children that the parents' name goes down in history. We often hear parents say that my boy or girl is so dumb in school, but patients, remember that Lindberg, Eddison and Ford were not so smart in books but that they have, each of them, have carved a great name for themselves. Children, naturally know more and have a broader view than their parents. Didn't Jesus say that He must go about His Father's business? Then too, history would have been different if Lincoln had paid attention to his father when he tried to get him to stop studying in front of the fireplace. One of the greatest things in life young people, is being prepared. Being prepared to give service to God in the way he directs when your life is surrendered to Him. The greatest need of the day is not for people to do great things, but for more people with their eyes open to do the little things. Our greatest people—that is, the ones that stand for the most are the ones that do not sit and wait to become heroes, but they are the ones who do the humdrum, every day duties as the duties come. Often young people put off the choice of an occupation, because of the fear of making a mistake. But we can make no mistakes if we seek God's guidance and listen to His Call. I do not want to be a minister, once said a young man because he tho't that God's call was only to ministers, but His call is to the farmers, merchants, teachers and physicians, as well. Young people, let God direct your life. Do the work He wants you to do. Follow where He leads and joy will be yours. Boys and girls, don't give up your preparation for a life's work to get married, (Anybody can get married) just because Mary or John married at 19, is no reason why you should do so. Prepare yourself first, marry afterwards. My dear children, there are two roads in life that you may follow. Ask yourself which of these roads are all it takes? The rosy road is paved with dandelion, card playing, slick hair, good clothes, paint, powder and general good times. You rain nothing by following this road. The other road is not very smooth, there are thorns and tough stones in the pathway. It is paved with hard work, sacrifices, prayers and a few tears, but you will get there over this road, because Christ is standing at the head of the road, saying, "I am the way." Haven't you gone into stores and seen something that was marled "Slightly Damaged—Greatly Reduced in Price?" That is a label gotten by some carless clerk, dropping or soiling the thing that was reduced. The same way with some people, through carelessness; they too, can get the same label attached to them. It can come by doing little things and not meaning any harm; after they have gotten into something they are greatly reduced in price. Not one of us knows what's ahead of us in life. Young people, you have no guarantee of staying here because you are young, but you know that Christ stands waiting. (Continued on page four) Each church and Auxiliary throut out the Northeastern District is here by urged to represent at this Second Quarterly Board Meeting which is to be held with 1st Baptist Church, Elwood, Kansas, Feb. 20th, 21st, 1930 in every department of the work.

BRETHREN: M. MAX YERGAN By FLETCHER BROCKMAN "Max Yergan today is one of the truly great Americans He went to Africa to accomplish an impossible task. The situation was most delicate politically. The glory of Max Yergan is and moved years in a few months toward the solution of a great problem. He carried both British and Dutch with him 100 per cent. He has obtained the confidence of British, Dutch and Gelglans and is the idol of the African Race. It is remarkable that this has been done in such a short time. The ability to be a friend but not necessarily a radical advocate and carry both sides in the conflict makes the big man. That man has sat at the feet of Jesus Christ. Such a man is Max Yergan. We have as Americans a great man abroad. A great ambassador of Good Will, a man who exercises diplomacy without guile, kindness of heart that knows all men. Statesmanship that sweeps wide over all problems and seek that which is important. He is an honor to all Americans." IN DISTRICT BOARD FIELD AT THE Feb. 13th and 14th, 1930 In, Rev. E. B.

Carlton Post Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By REV P R P FITZWAFR DD, Member of Faculty, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). Q. 1988, Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for February 9 LESSON TEXT—Matthew 11:29 (Print vv 1-12, 15-37) GOLDFEN TEXT—Every tree that bringeth not forth, good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire PRIMARY TOPIC—Obeying Jesus JUNIOR TOPIC—Keeping the Law of Christ. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Truth About Alcoholic Drivers 1. Concerning Censorious Judgments (vv.1-12). 1. The sin and folly of (vv.1-5). This prohibition should not be so construed as to forbid our making an estimate of the lives of those about us, for "by their fruits we shall know them." Neither should it prevent us from administering rebuke to those who deserve it. It is not wrong to condemn the errors and faults of those who are in the way of sin. It does not mean that sin should go unrebuted until we ourselves are perfect. It rebukes readiness to blame others and to magnify their weakness and error. 2. The duty of discrimination in dealing out holy things (v. 6). The Gospel should be preached to all. We should turn from those who reject and treat with contempt the Gospel message. 3. Qualification for discrimination (vv. 7-12). (1) A life of prayer (vv. 7-11). Only those are able to rightly divide the word of truth who live a life of prayer. (2) A disposition to treat others as one would be trented (v. 12). It is not merely to refrain from doing injury, but positively to do for others that which we would desire to have done unto ourselves under similar circumstances. No man can live this rule unless he has been born from above and abides with Christ. 11. Entrance into the Kingdom Urged (vv. 13, 14). There are two ways only before each one—life and death, heaven and hell. The narrow gate is the way of life. While the gate is strait and the way narrow, it is an open gate and the only gate to life, and all are invited to enter. The gate which opens to every good thing in life is strait—restricted. The way of Jesus Christ is not the way of the crowd. 11. Warnings Against False Teachers. (vv. 15, 20). 1. Their real existence (v. 15). Ever since God has had a people, false prophets and teachers have appeared among them. 2. Their nature (v.15). (1) They are hypocritical. The devil does his most successful work by masquerading as an angel of light (11 Cor. 11;14,15). His ministers appear in this way and turn people from the narrow to the broad way. (2) They are destructive. This is suggested by their being ravening wolves. It is when the wolf is in sheep's clothing that it does its most destructive work. False teachers are doing their most deadly work while pretending to be loyal to the Bible and Jesus Christ. 3. The unfailing test (vy 16,18) "By their fruits ye shall know them." Every tree bears its own kind of fruit. One may search the universe in vain for an exception to this rule. It is equally true in the spiritual world — there is a vital connection between faith of heart and fruit of the life. 4. Their ultimate end (v.19). Although God has infinite patience and bears long. He will see to it that this evil work does not go on forever. IV. The Dangers of Empty Profession (vv.21 23). 1. Merely calling Christ Lord will not answer for doing his will (v.21). 2. One may do supernatural works and not be saved (vv.22 21). Not all supernatural worlds are divine. There is a supernatural world of evil. It is the business of every believer to test the Spirit (I John 4:1,2). 3. Separation from God (v. 21). One may have been a Sunday school teacher or a minister and have performed many mighty works and yet hear from Christ the awful words, "I never knew you; depart from Me." V. The One and Only Safe Way (vv.24 29). 1. Hear the sayings of Christ (v.24). To do this one must give attention to reading the Word of God. 2. Do what Christ commands (vv.24-29) Hearing and doing the teachings of Christ is building upon solid rock. Hearing and not doing Christ's sayings is to build upon the sand. Properly Protected If a man have Christ in his heart, heaven before his eyes, and only as much of temporal blessing as is just needful to carry him safely through life, then pain and sorrow have little to shoot at.—William Burns. Faith By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which do appear.—Epistle to the Hebrews. 11 KEV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1930 Subj. "Ways of Studying the Bible." 2 Tim. 3:14-17; 2:15 The Bible is a letter from our Father. It is God's message to His Children in which He tells us the source of life, the purpose of life and the goal of life. The Bible may be studied in the following ways. As literature, as history, as ethics and as a spiritual message. It may be studied as a whole, it may be studied by books, it may be studied by doctrines and it may be studied by periods. Whatever may be the way of study the supreme good can come as a result only to the man who approaches it with the right attitude. Profound reverence for its author and a heart open to its truth are essential. Certainly the mental attitude means much but the spiritual attitude means most. Catch the spirit of the author of the Bible and the understanding of it will follow. The Book should be studied prayerfully, thoughtfully, systematically, regularly and privately. Four "mibs" helpful in Bible study permit, admit, submit and commit. The Bible is the most extensively read book in the world but perhaps (in proportion the leat studied.) It is probably most often approached in the wrong attitude. We soould study the Bible with love and reason, w.i.h a definite plan and a definite goal. St. Matthew C. M. E. Ch. REV. C. M.

Our pastor is a senior in Central Baptist Theological Seminary, under Dean E. L.

(Continued from page one) to receive you because he said, "Suffer little children to come unto me," Some boys and girls think it is old fashioned to be a Christian, and that their pleasures will be cut off. But remember, it is better to be old fashioned and saved than to be lost. Learn early that pleasure is just the way you look at a thing, because oftimes what is pleasure for you is not pleasure for me. Being a Christian changes your attitude, and you will be able to have all the pleasure you want, only in a different way. Now children don't yield to temptation, but sit down and put the breaks on, and say, I am not going to do what is wrong. If we as Christians neglect prayer services, Bible reading, Sunday School, B. Y. P. U., and church services; we too will not be able to say no to ourselves when tempted. We should speak the truth at all times and try to be useful. Don't ever forget that a good Christian is not one who can tell you the number of things that he doesn't do, but he is the one that realizes it is wrong not to do things that he can do. To both the young and the old, I would say, be lively and wear a smile. Don't go around with a long face, because sometimes the person with the longest face has the blackest heart. Parents and friends, the greatest contribution comes form the youth. Old people reach a goal with less effort than the young, on account of their wisdom. In closing, I will say to the young and to the old, work together, but choose as leaders only the boy or girl, man or woman that is prepared to help you put the program over, preparedness is one of life's greatest principles. We must not only prepare to live, but we must likewise prepare to die if we expect some day to see the one that said, "I go to prepare a place for you."
