Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 45, FRANK YOUNG DARING HERO Last Wednesday afternoon was an opportunity for Mr. Young, doorman of the Miller Theater, to show what a real man would do in a crisis, when he captured two would-be bandits with his fist and nerve. He proved that a real man stood on guard at that door, who could think and act with precision. He obeyed the gunman's orders and marched to his request, but only to watch for an opportunity to use that conquering fist and the steel armed muscles that only Negroes have. One blow changed the whole plan of things, and the bandit became a prisoner, and Frank Young, a hero; but like a brave spirit of a real African Chief, his blood was warmed and he now more work to be done to prove that he honored his job and respected his employer—and like a flash of supernatural power he soon had another prisoner, who thought he was another bandit. Mr. Young only thought of doing his duty, but he was prepared for the emergency by a well built body and a daring will. We know he will be worth double the amount, to the Miller Theater, after such a heroic deed, because no other bandit will try to face such a man and hero. We know the race feels proud of Mr. Young and hope that all humanity will get a lesson, that the soul of the black man is true and more reliable and less criminal than any race on earth unless it is the Jew. The big-hearted Beacon gave him a check for $50.00. Wichita's business life should show appreciation for this noble act in a tangible way. Think, he chanced his life to do this duty. He is only one of the many noble spirits under dark skin; in fact, there is no color, to thought act, nor nerve. Herrington. News.

THE BATTLE By LELIA BELL SIMPSON I smile to keep away the teas, That well up in my eyes, I think of all the wasted years, And my sorrow multiplies. 2. A fool I have been, some folks say, And too, I guess they are right, I've loafed and I've wasted my time away, Eut now I know that I must fight. 3. We all make mistakes both young and old, There's no exception to that rule; You must go thru mud to find the gold, And there's things never taught in school. 4. I must fight my battle with solemn thought, No one that called my friend, Cares but what I may come to No one on whom I'd depend. naught; 5. But after losing the others, I've just found one, And my joy is almost complete, I'll fight and fight 'till my battle is won, Because I kneel at my Savior's feet. PASTOR RECOVERING KANSAS CITY-According to opportunity, as well as time, I have been ill since about the middle of Dec. 1929. Ahd in all these lonely hours, days, and weeks, I have not been neglected, in care and attention of any kind. We had company, sympathy and all that it takes to make one feel good in the time of distress. Both brethren and sisters offered their service to help in whatever capacity needed. Friends and ministers from other persuasions did the same. God be thanked for such friends in life, which bespeaks the Hand of Almighty God, through a cloud of providence. He opens the care for His people. The attending family physician for more than 27 years., Dr. S. H. Thompson and gave his attention night and day; is reliable in all cases, at all times. The Lord's Day Bible School brought a beautiful plant; Bro. J. B. Burns, Supt. followed by the deaconess sisters, Mrs. Julia Johnson, Pres. the door bell bang, bang; then comes one bearing greetings from the ladies' church chorus, Mrs. Ephie Hill, Pres., with another plant, full of life, desiring tant I should have in me what the plant had, plenty of life. Mrs. Fannie Phelan and daughters sent a beautiful plant representing springtime with the foliage in summer time, looking for it as though it had escaped and gone before time. While perusing the news paper today, (Tues.) I saw a strange motor car appear at the parking of our humble little home, the door opened and the lady presented another large plant, what the name is I don't know but it is some plant. She said the Ministers Missionary Baptist Alliance of which I am President, sent it. Again I was made to know that we are not forgotten by those with whom we labor in Kingdom building in the Master's cause. Some of the ministers came very often and those who could not, called; some prayed in my room. Many cut flowers found their way to see us from individuals. Fruits of many kinds, were brought or sent. At this writing I am much improved and by the Lord's help, hope to be on duty the coming Lord's Day.—D. B. JACKSON. OSAGE CITY DOINGS WIMBLEY CHAPEL BAPTIST CH. KATIE MARTIN, REPORTER. Sunday School opened at 10.00 a.m. with about 25 present; teachers Mrs. Minnie Jackson, Mrs Melva Swindell and Albert Orendorff, with other officials, Miss Orendorff, pianist, Miss Katie Martin Secretary, Mrs. Pehecca Austin, Supt., are putting enthusiasm into the work with --- FIRE AND PRARROTS It is difficult to think of a more horrible way to die than by fire. It was once pointed out by a great scholar that the progress of civilization is made only over the dead bodies of piloneers. So, too the progress in fire prevention and protection seems to await horrible fire catastrophes to arouse consciousness of the fire danger. In 1929 the red hand of fire snuffed out many lives. In an editorial of January 17, 1930 the New York Herald Tribune pointed out that the public concern over the so-called parrot fever was quite out of proportion to the seriousness of the problem. Suppose a dozen people in the United States had really died of Psittacosis, or parrot fever; there are at least twice as many deaths due to fire each day and only those actively working to prevent fire seem to worry about the appalling loss. Attention is directed to just eight recent fires that cause serious loss of life. Fire in Russian motion picture theatre caused death of 120 persons; in a hotel at Amorillo, Texas; in Cleveland Clinic, 124; in explosion and fire in Eastman Hospital, Canton, China, 80; in fire test at Gillingham, England, 15; in cabaret in Detroit, 11 men and 9 women were burned or trampled to death; in fire in paper box company, Baltimore, 4 women died; in New Year's Eve fire in motion picture theatre in Paisley, Sctlaond, 72 children were trampled or smothered to death. In the United States, fire takes an annual toll of 10,000 lives and $500,000,000 in property losses, according to National Board of Fire Underwriters. A large percentage of deaths from fire occur in homes. This is hard to understand in progressive America where so many fire preventions are within the reach of the average household. Homes can be made comparatively safe against fire and the life hazard greatly reduced. KANSAS CITY NEWS EIGHTH STREET BAPISTIST TAB SALLIE S.

ONLY A DAY OR TWO We've been given a day to think, A shorter time to even drink the thought that fell as silent dew, Upon our minds, a day or two. (2) No man can raise the worth Of Science, when it has its birth In such men's minds, so rare and few As we witnessed, a day or two. (3) With open ear, we heard his word, Yet there are some, who've never heard; The cause of this remains with you, For he spoke thus a day or two. (4) He's not the man, whom we suppose, He's just a channel thro' which flows The work that God would have him do For he spoke thus a day or two. (5) Since, a channel, through which God flows, We would conclude, it simply shows That, what he did others can da. Perhaps they can, but very few. (6) Many have scientific fame, They're not with Carver, just the same; While he was here, that day or two. (7) Upon the pages, written high, His name will live when others die; And shall be there for those to view Who heard him not, that day or two. (8) Shall you forget what he has done, Shall it die, as the setting sun? If so, may I admonish you; Your life is short a day or two. Fort Scott News Notes. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH REV. WM.

Last Sunday, an accident took away from us one of the most promising lives in Wichita, when Master Russell Mitchell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mitchell, was shot with a 22 rifle by his little playmate, on Indiana Avenue, while playing. As it seems the boys had been accustomed to playing with the old rile, but had been loaded to kill a rat (of which they were unaware) and had not been emptied. So, innocently did his little brother say, 'shoot him again, he didn't fall,' and how the scene changed when they saw what had been done. Sadness and sorrow for the boy who did the shooting, seem almost as gret as for the boy shot, because he must live and remember a play marked in his young life that shall never be erased. He sent a soul back to its God before time of development. He may have robbed the world of nigenius, that would have changed the world's thinking and acting. We leave all with God, and picture a bright shining soul meeting its creator, filled with hope and ambition. We shall picture the all-wise rather taking that soul and drawing out of it all the possibilities, and making it a bright shining star for eternity. We do not understand life, neither do we understand God, but He is love and can move every sorrow from our hearts and wipe every tear from our eyes. He can, in the midst of our sorrow, see our duties to Him and our fellowman. He sometimes takes the little lambs to make us look up. He wants man to look up and He knows if our loved ones are taken up, we desire to look up, get up and go up. My dear boy you were shot and fell, To never again be happy and well; But this earth was never your home. Your Father just let you come here to roam Until He wanted a sweet flower youth. Then He called last Sunday this truth. He gave not time to prepare, But took him at once with care; Face with smiles and a heart with love. So he rests today without a tear Because his Heavenly Father is near. COLORED RADIO SALESMAN MAKING AN ENVIABLE RECORD One of the most progressive steps taken in recent years has been taken by the UPTOWN RADIO CO., located on East Douglass, who has employed Mr. Lester Hill as a salesman.

The dreadful disease (v. 2) Leprosy, the most toulouse and hopeless disease known, in the Jewish ritual, was regarded as a symbol of sin. As leprosy was incurable by man, so only the divine physician could cure sin 2. The leper's faith (v. 2). 2. The leper a thief (v. 2). Ils cry was most pitilable, but his faith was strong. He fully believed that Jesus was able, but not certain that He was willing to heal him. 3. Jesus' power (v. 3). He put forth Ils hand and touched the leper, bidding the disease depart, and instantly the man was cleansed. 4. Jesus Heals the Centurion's Servant (S. 5-11). 1. The disease (x, 0). 1. The disease (v 6). The victim of paralysis is helpless and disqualified for service. 2. The centurious humility (v 8). He first sent the Jewish elders and then his friends (Luke 7:33 G), because he felt his unworthiness. The case of this servant was so grave that his master brushed aside his timidity and personally appealed to Jesus. 3. The centurion's faith (vv. 8 A). He believed that if Jesus would but speak the word, his servant would be healed. 4. The wonderful power of Jesus (v. 13). He did not need even to see the helpless man, but only to speak the word and it was done. III. Jesus Heals Peter's Mother-in-law (8:14, 15). She was sick of a fever, Jesus was invited into Peter's home to heal this woman. Upon entering the home he touched the hand of the patient and the fever left her, and she arose and ministered unto them. IV. Jesus Casts Out Demons (8:29-34). After stilling the tempest, Jesus crossed to the other side of the sea into heathen territory. 1. Met by two men possessed by demons (v. 28). These men were in a desperate condition (see Mark 5:1-17 and Luke 8:27). So there were they that no one could safely pass that way. They wore no ralment and no chains were strong enough to hold them. 2. What they knew about Christ (v. 29). They knew that He was the Son of God and that He had come to destroy the devil and his work. Among the demons there is no doubt as to the deity of Jesus Christ and as to the judgment to come. 3. Christ's power to deliver from the devil (vv. 30 32). The demons qualled before Him, not daring to dispute His power. V. Jesus Heals a Woman With an Issue of Blood (9:20:22). 1. Her helpless condition (v. 20). She had been a great sufferer for twelve long years, not only from the disease, but at the hands of the physicians (Mark 5:20). 2. Her faith (v. 21). Her faith was so strong that she believed contact with the Master's garment would secure needed help. 3. Her confession (v. 21, cf. Luke 8:47). She thought secretly to get the blessing, but Jesus perceived that virtue had gone out from Him, and had her make a public confession. 4. Christ's words of encouragement (v. 22). He told her that it was her faith, not her touch that saved her. VI. Jesus Opening the Eyes of Two Blind Men (9:27-31). 1. Their persistence of faith (v. 28). These poor men had heard of the wonderful works of Jesus and desired to be healed. 2. The intelligence of faith (v 27). They cried unto Him as the Son of David, which showed that they recognized Him as the promised Messiah. The prophet had foretold such to be the works of Messiah (Isa. 29;18; 35; 5; 42; 7). 3. The challenge of faith (v. 29). In reply to His challenge, they gave Him a definite answer. 4. The triumph of faith (vv 20, 80). Their faith brought them into touch with the Lord of life who revealed His power by opening their eyes. Heroes and Cowards Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unsettle them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow and wax strong, we grow and wax weak, and at last some crises shows us what we have become.—Canon Westcott. Faith is an almighty thing like the Eternal God Himself; therefore God seeks to prove and try it—Luther. W. REN. J. W. HANES 615 Wabash Avenue Subject—Lessons From John's First Epistle. Text I. John 1:1:10;3:13. The thought and style of this Epistle give evidence of the apostle John as the author. The central theme is the Son of God incarnate in Jesus Christ. The writer declares he has seen, heard and handled the Word of Life. He is, therefore, an eye witness of Christ and His work. Companion with Jesus gives peace and purity of life His character is contagious and His company raises humanity to its highest power. When we are blind to our sins it indicates ignorance of truth we have no sense of guilt and no hope of pardon. If one would be free from sin he must be convinced by the word, convicted by the spirit. Repenence faith and salvation from sin will follow. The word in us, "Thy word is a lamp, etc. Psalm 119; 105. I love has adopted us into the royal family, what we shall become, shall be revealed when He appears for it is then we shall be like Him, for we shall be revealed when He appears, for it is then we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. THOUGHTS Every soul has a passion for fellowship, and peace. Our blindness becomes hopeless when we cannot see our own sins, God's love makes us one with Il's Son. Not what we are but what it is possible for us to become is the most inspiring. Caivary Baptist Church REV. J. W. HAYES. PASTOR M. LIVINGSTON. REPORTER. S.
