Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE vol. 22, No. 52, GIVING NEGROES A CHANCE Editorial in New York Times. The Commission on Interracial Cooperation is not heard often by mass of Americans. But ever since the commission was formed in South in 1919 it has been doing remarkable work in adjusting racial contacts. It has provided safe riots; it has aided greatly in providing the Negro population of the South with parks and schools and it has ameliorated the social condition of black people in that part of the country where they are most populous. Formed in 1919 by whites and Negroes, fearful lest the changed democrate of returning Negro soldiers would provoke massacres all over the land, the commission has worked so intelligently, so efficiently and withal so quietly that what every one in 1919 discussed as an impending social crisis has passed out at the national consciousness. In the single matter of lynching, while the commission cannot claim the improved statistics in that respect as its personal contribution, two facts are admitted. One is that when the interracial body was formed, there were eighty-three lynchings; the other is that in 1929 there were ten. Aided by preponderant Southern opinion, national newspaper support, many Southern Governors and by other associations, the commission has made a continuous drive against mob execution. When, in 1926, the number rose from seventeen the previous year to twenty-nine, the drive was maintained with added fervor. But this reform is a necessary sequence of its other reforms. Through the work of the commission, where whites and Negroes meet in conference to discuss the Negro's problems, a gradually increasing group on both sides has learned to know the aims and sympathies of one another. Good-will spreads in a community as oil on the water. Perhaps an inspection of the personnel of the commission will help to explain why its work has been effective. Dr. Moton of Tuskegee represents the sancte force seeking social and economic progress for his race. Mr. Peabody of New York, stands for the most sympathetic of white cooperation. Ex-Governor Bird of Virginia, embodies the merciful viewpoint of the dominant Southern aristocrat to whom the Negroes long were slaves and upon whom they still are, in a large degree, dependent, Dr. Poteat and Mr. Eagan represent the Christian city of eminent Southern churchmen for the lowly man ard brother, helpless in the white man's land. Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes is of a family which for generations has sought and striven to help the Negro. There are many other rhining names on the list; so officered and manned, the commission's intelligent and effective direction was assured from the beginning. In a current booklet dealing with a record commission finds much work yet to do. It knows of "one recluded county" where there is peonage; of counties where the white school fund is unfairly out of all proportion to the Negro; of "sections" where the Negro may still be shot down without legal punishment; of a few—a very few—communities where the dominant race does not care what happens to the oppressed. But in general it sees the light spreading more and more broadly over the Southern country. Most significant of all passages in the booklet perhaps is the one opposing "arbitrary segregation of "one race by another * * one of the "most profound causes of racial friction "the world over." A trend toward the spread of this segregation is discernible, and the commission is at work on a scientific study on which to base a policy. Here, as its Southern members must realize, there is especial need for all the tact and experience which can be applied. FELLOWSIHP AWARDS GIVEN ATLANTA, GA., April 4—Two fellowships providing tuition and living expenses have been awarded the Atlanta School of Social Work by the National Tuberculosis Association, and will be available for college graduates qualifying between CHRISTIAN WORLD ADOPTS CAPITAL N IN NEGRO NEW YORK, N. Y., March 31—The spread of the use of the capital "N" to desigrate the Negro Race throughout the world is indicated in a clipping received from London by the N. A. A. C. P., showing that the Christian World is the latest publication to adopt this style. The clipping from the Christian World of February 27, 1930, contains a letter from Herbert D. Rugg, editorial secretary of the National Council of Congregational Churches in New York, who says in part: "The National Association for the Advan ement of colored People in the United States, has long been en emily agitating for placing "agro" in the category of proper names, and its contensions have been ordorsed by most of the religious papers in the Northern states." In an editorial note following this letter, the editor of the Christian World writes: "In future Negro shall have its capital "N" in our columns." Y.M. C.A.

If you do, go late. 3. If the weather doesn't suit you, don't think of going. 4. If you do attend a meeting, find fault with the work of the officers and members. 5. Never accept office, as it is easier to criticize than to do things. 6. Get sore if you are not appointed on a committee, but if you are, do not attend committee meetings. 7. If asked by the chairman to give your opinion on some matter, tell him you have nothing to say. After the meeting tell everyone how things should have been done. 8. Do nothing more than absolutely necessary, but when other members use their ability to help matters along, howl that the institution is run by a clique. 9. Hold back your duer, or don't pay at all. 10. Never put a generous amount into the collection plate or envelope. The poorer members will give up some pleasures in sacrifice in order to meet your share of the bill. Adarted - Clipped by G. B.

WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, April 4, 1930 HELP THE CAUSE IN CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, From the St. Paul Baptist Church, To Calvary Baptist Church, Coat- ville, Kansas:—Dear Brethren: In recognition of and in repon- to your communication of the 16 h and 21th, respectively of January past, we wish to address this reply in which we would attempt to ex- press our sincere appreciation of the Christlike spirit in the courtesies extended us, and your brotherly cormcern in our wel are. Your time and masterful recommendations of Pastor Williams, displayed rot only your love and respect for him but your interest in both his future and ours. Only big-hearted and broad-minded Christians could, with such good grace and unselfish sacrifice, relinquish to us one who has so long guided and pastored you and between whom there must have grown an almost unopenable link of affection. Krowing from the glowing and lofty attributes with which you speak of Pastor Williams and our contract with him that your devotion to him must be genuine and deep. We can scarcely suppress feeling a lil. of regret that our gain in calling Pastor Williams has meant a keen end to doubt sorrowful loss to you but we want you to know that we are especially pleased and happy in our choice. We are dearly in love with Pastor Williams; we wish to say that we have found Pastor Williams, devout, dynamic, prudent, painstaking, considerate, sympathetic, and unusually literal in all of his contributions to the church. He is a careful and wise planner and organizer, looking ever toward the future of the church and especially to the salvation of the souls of men. His work here has been a triumph under God. He has put on since coming to us a 30 day financial drive with $1000 the objective. This drive has proven to be through his wise organization and cheerful leadership, an astonishing and marvelous success.. The 40 (forty) days he was with us he planned and raised $2273 58. During this time he has been exceptionally active in the Sunday School and other departments, especially in the Women's Mission Circle where he has been each Thursday afternoon, conducting services and teaching an impressive series of Evangelical lessons, taking such an interest as no other pastor has shown in the Missionary Society since its organization. His efforts in the church; such a following from the community, flocking to hear him, server to confirm your certification and more firmly establish our faith in him. We have found him all that you have recommended him to be: a real man and a Gospel preacher, one of whom we do not feel ashamed. Twenty-six (26) additions have been made to the church under him. He left here March 11, to return to Coffeyville, and you, in order to wind up his business there and prepare to move to California, his future and permanent home. We shall miss him so much, even though it shall be only a short stay and temporary absence. We need him so. Please let him hurry back to us. Thank you. Already you have been so generous and kind; you shall ever have our prayers that the God of peace and love shall ever guide and keep you and lead you onword and upward. Done by order of the St. Paul Baptist Church. Ether T. Greenly, L. M. Johnson, Church Clerk.

Detroit News 'SUDDENLY CALLED Mr. Sam Brazil, a long time citizen of this city, although not an old man, was suddenly called to his reward last Sunday morning before day. He seemingly went to bed talking of current news and ended, talking about his personal business to his wife, which gives an idea that he must have felt the call coming. He was at one time in business here, but he was a hard laboring man, very industrious, and was buying a nice home and making it lovely. Funeral services were conducted at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church by the pastor Rev. J. H. Grant, Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, with the Jackson Undertaking Co., in charge. The Star extends sympathy to his wife and relatives. A useful man has fallen... ness. Minutes of last meeting were read and adopted. Five finished quilt blocks were turned in. Lunch was served and $1.25 turned into the treasury with some to be turned in later.

Williams, President of the National Baptist Convention, Dr. Moses and Brandon of Chicago, visited our city. Servi- at First Baptist Church. Dr. Williams 'spoke of the Golden Jubilee in an interesting and appealing way. Dr. Moses delivered the sermon, which was a masterpiece, filled with all that it takes to be called a gem from God's word and delivered as only a Moses can. Dr. Brandon lifted the offering to the amount of $250.00 for the Jubilee. Dr. Williams and party stopped at the luxurious manion of one of our members, Mrs. Lula Blount where they were rovally entertained in true southern fashion. A number of our state men including Dr. S. P. Nelson, President of Arkansas Baptist College, were also with us. Our Sunday School led by Mrs. J. E. Burke, wife of Dr. Burke, is doing wonderfully well in finance as well as enrollment; the finance has not fallen below $12 00 a Sundav for a long time.

Much credit is due the Financial Committee of the Mary B. Talbert Branch of the Y. W. C. A. for effecting and staging very successfully its annual style show on last Monday evening at the Central Intermediate High School. It was a decided success. Those participating in the show as well as the program showed that they were at no loss in their performances. After a short program of musical renditions, the curtains opened, vivaciously Mrs. Steeemer advanced and in very good style told us what to wear, how to wear it and the grand style show of 1930 was on. That fine culture instilled by constant consistent exercise of good taste and intelligence was exemplified in the model, displaying the various models. Some deserve special mention, especially the children who acted most natural. Mrs. Rena Flake, won the popularity contest and was rendered a beautiful desk. son to World's War for the "Safty of Democracy," should go to the battlefields across the seas in August as guests of the government, even if you have to go on separate ship, although we are praying that this Christian America, will not let its prejudice be demonstrated to the world, on such a sacred occasion. It does seem like the mothers on both sides are near enough to the Kingdom to see this like Jesus saw such problems, whose heart was too big to konw men by their nationality or color or previous condition, but by their service. These mothers have given to the government, that is now planning to Jim Cross them, is not fair to the sleeping sons nor to the living mothers nor will this act convince the world that "American Democracy is safe." We know Jesus' mehod is the bigger the heart the lower you can stoop to conquer, so we are asking our Negro mothes to think of Jesus and go, tarrying Jesus to the world; carry a heart full of Five Cents Per Copy. ALABAMA NEGRO FARMERSQUALIFY TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA. April Organization of Negro farmers of Alabama into cooperative units qualified to receive aid from the Federal Farm Board under the Agricultural Marketing Act is actively being effected following a series of conferences attended by representatives of the Alabama State Farm Bureau, the Alabama Extension Service, the United States Department of Agriculture and Tuskegee Institute. Negro farm demonstration agents in co-operation with White agents, have been authorized to act as organizers in the Counties in which they work. The units which these Agents e-tablish are affiliated with the County Farm Bureau and thro' the County Organization with the Alabama State Farm Bureau, the demonstration agent acting as contact officer. Paid-up membership in the County organization carries with it, life, insurance and subscriptions to state and national magazines of the bureau as well as regular agricultural and marketing services. Under the agricultural marketing act the Federal Farm Board may make loans for marketing purposes to cooperate units only. It does not deal directly with the individual. And because the Negro farmer has been for the most part unorganized for operative purposes and has had little affiliation with White organizations it has become necessary to form such units as are now being organized in Alabama. T. M. Campbell, Field Agent, United States Agricultural Extension service, who has been active in helping to work out plans for organizing the cooperative units, states it is as the wish of Dr. Bradford Knapp, President, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Prof. L. N. Duncan, Director, Alabama Extension Service and Dr. R. Moton, Principal, Turkegee Institute, that the units set up for Negro farmers have the closest cooperation and connection with those for the white farmers, so that at no time should there be any competition between commodities grown by white farmers and those grown by Negro farmers. Steps toward securing recognition for the Negro farmer under provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act were first taken last Fall when Dr. Moton conferred with President Hoover, Alexander Legge, Chairman, and other members of the Federal Farm Board in Washington. Tentative plans were worked out for the inclusion of the Negro in such benefits as the Board had to offer to the farmers of the country. Addressing farmers assembled at the 99th Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference here last December, James C. Stone, Vice-Chairman of the Federal Farm Board, declared that the Board is as interested in improving the situation of the Negro farmer as that of any other agricultural group in the Country and urged Colored farmers to organize local cooperative units as the first step toward recurring federal aid. At a Conference with Dr. Moton, Mr. Campbell, Prof. Duncan and Mr. A. O'Neal, Head of the Alabama State Farm Bureau, a general plan of organization was agreed upon. Later sectional Meetings with White and Colored Agents were held throughout the State. love; meet other mothers of other nations and prove that you love even enimies. We may lose the desired honors and pure acts of righteousness offered by this government, but we shall please God, and He will raise up friends among other nations. America will have a heart big enough after while to make it want and need help from God and anyone, who loves and sympathizes. The kidnapping of the returned young missionary in Chicago and holding her for $20000 shows that she was more safe in China, than she is in America. With the government filled with every kind of sin, bank robbers, kidnappers, thieves, boot, leggers, robbers of every kind, then strong arms of the law stooping to prejudice or to humiliate some mothers, whose hearts are just as pure and their love for their sons and their country is just as perfect as any mother any where in the (Continued on page four) Improved Uniform International SundaySchool Lesson (By REY P B PITWATER, D.D., Member of Faculty, Wendy Bible Institute of Chicago) (C. 1930, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for April 6 THE LAW OF THE CROSS LESSON TEXT—Matthew 16 13-26 GOLDEN TEXT—If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. PRIMARY TOPIC—Proving our Love for Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Proving Our Love for Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Denying, Self, for Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Cross-bearing in the Christian life. The lesson topic is narrower than the Scripture text. It includes Christ taking account of His ministry, Peter a confession. Christ's prediction concerning His death and His teaching concerning the cost of discipleship. 1. Christ, the King, Taking Account of His Ministry (vv. 13-17). 1. The place (v. 13). It was at Chesaren Philippi, the northern limit of Jewish territory, practically in Gentile territory. 2. The time in Christ's ministry. The cross was only a few months away. The King had already been rejected. They had charged Him with being in league with the devil and sought to kill Him. It was highly important that the disciples have clear views as to Christ's person in order to stand the test of His trial and crucifixion. 3. Peter's confession (vv. 1310). (1) The occasion (vv. 1315) Two questions asked by Jesus Christ provoked this confession, a. As to the opinion of the people concerning Illm (vv. 13, 14). They recognized Illm as a teacher and prophet of more than human authority and power. Had He been content with this, He would not have been molested in Jerusalem. It was Ills persistent claim of being the God man, the very Son of God, that sent Illm to the cross. b. As to the personal opinion of the disciples (v. 15). It was not enough for them to be able to tell what opinion the people held concerning Jesus. It was necessary that they have definite, correct and personal knowledge of and belief in Illm. (2) The content (v. 16). It consisted of two parts. a. "Thou art the Christ." This avowed Jesus to be the Messiah—the fulfiller of the Jewish hopes and expectations. b. "The Son of the living God." This acknowledged Illm to be divine. It was the recognition of His glorious person in keeping with the Jewish hope (Isa. 9:3, 7). 4. Christ's confession of Peter (v. 17). Those who confess Christ shall be confessed by Him (Matt. 10:32, 33). Christ pronounced a blessing upon Peter—not in the nature of reward, but a declaration of the spiritual condition of Peter because of his clear apprehension of his Lord. 5. Christ's charge to the disciples (v. 20). He asked them not to tell any man that he was the Messiah. The time was not ripe for such testimony. II. The New Body, the Church, Announced (vv. 18, 19). Following the confession of Peter, Jesus declared His intention of bringing into existence a new body, to the members of which He would give eternal life, and into whose hands He would entrust the keys of the Kingdom. Peter was to have a distinguished place in this body. Association in this new body cannot be broken by death, for the gates of lions shall not prevail against it. III. The King Predicts His Death (vv. 21, 23). This prediction was no doubt startling to the disciples. They did not yet realize that redemption was to be accomplished through the passion of the cross. So unwelcome was this announcement that Peter cried, "This shall not be unto Thee." Later Peter saw through the darkness to the sunlight on the hilltops beyond. A new hope filled his breast (I Pet. 13.4). Victory through death is yet the stumbling block of many. IV. The Cost of Discipleship (vv. 2420). Life can be saved only by losing it. If we are going to be Christians, we must share Christ's suffering. 1. There must be denial of self (v. 24). There is a white difference between self-denial and denial of self. All people practice self-denial, but only real disciples of Christ deny self. 2. "Take up Ils cross" (v. 21). This cross is the shame and suffering which lie in the path of loyalty to Christ. 3. Follow Christ (v. 24). This means to have the mind of Christ—to be like Christ. Flowers That Are Not Seam If a man could make a single rose, we should give him an empire; yet roses and flowers no less beautiful, are scattered in profusion all over the world, and few regard them.—Martin Luther. A Life In His Hands The right thing is not always the easiest; but God has His schools for training, and a life left in His hands will never fail of its highest development here and hereafter.—Selected.

GOLD STAR MOTHER SHOULD GO (Continued from page one.) world and try to make themselves believe they have a safe government, is false notion and will react some day. Things eternal are things that are right and no government can stand, that does not believe in administering to all its subjects equal rights from its powerful hand. Mother, sacrificing mother, go, go with a big heart; if your government is little enough to try to humiliate you, be so filled with the love of Christ and humanity until you will not see it. Don't be afraid that you are ignorant, because there will be more ignorant mothers of other races than you, they will out-number you two to one. Then if you love and know Jesus, He can do more with you in your ignorance than He can others with their wisdom. Protest to the last against such an outlaw, but plan to go.
