Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE vol.23, No.3, INVESTIGATION PERSONAL RELATION NO. 12 WHO Crucified Christ? The people who sent him to the Cross were exactly like the people of today, acting from similar motives, animated by line prejudices. Who were they? I am a small tea—the "good people" on their way who were muscular in the appearance of religious dutle, bus. narrow and bigoted. WHO Crucified Him? Palate, the cree, who were business cyclic lessees, who felt that in interfering with their temple concession, Jesus was guilty of a High-handed attitude to a time when they regarded a high-mae. WHO Crucified Him? Pilate, the politician, an easy master who worshipped power; a timid ruler mixed in corrupt politics and not daring to show that his soul was his own; a weak man who tried to remain neutral and sought to compromise, and felt that he showed power by a awe at the Jews and a petty gesture of refiance. WHO Crucified Him? The people who acclaimed Him on Palm Sunday and became victims of mob psychology, five days later. Rt. Rev. Charles Fiske. (Clipped by "Hutch.")

The Industrial and Employment Committee of which Miss Covington is Chairman, met Saturday. The High School Club held election of officers this week and the SOMETHING THAT HELLPS EXPERT ADDRESSES "Y" STAFF Mr. Holliser of Seattle, Washington, an expert in Personnel Direction, who has been lecturing to the personnel departments of the leading business concerns in the city, and conducting classes in personnel direction, gave a very instructive and interesting lecture at the C. T. A. Friday afternoon to the "Y" staff. His talk centered around "Personality." Mr. Hollister said, that personality is the science total of all a person locs that makes others, like, respect and places confidence in him or her, and via vera. He stated that personality is a reactive factor. It is a silent, yet an impassive and a potent one, in enhancing or damping one's progress, socially, spiritually and economically. He showed very graphically how a smile was a sortial to good business and good religion. In business the man who smile and is dutiful builds his trade on solid footing. He cited incidents as so how, cold matter-of-fact dealings have caused seemingly efficient men to lose friends and business, and now courteous dealings have meant friends and business to the real business man. He told of how a certain girl waitress in Seattle, made more money than other girls in the same restaurant, and the company was willing to give her double the amount of the other girls, if it wouldn't cause friction. The secret of it all was a smile. It meant business for the In religion, the man who smiles, speaks kind words, and seeks to leave the impression that Jesus left on His fellowmen, or seeks to treat his fellowmen as did Jesus, through the week is far more useful to the kingdom, and more acceptable to the Master than the constant church, who forgets his smiles, until Sunday, and mid-week prayer services. So gripping and inspiring was Mr. Holkster's message that Mr. F. H. West, General Secretary, suggests that we have a personality week in the rear future; the emphasis being put on expressing our personality thru a smile to everyone with whom we come in contact. Everyone agreed heartily with the suggestion Y. M. C. A. NOTES The Boys Quartet of the Water Street Branch Y. M. C.

A. by Lanche Crawford, R. N. During National Negro Health Week It is truly an opportunity to have the pleasure to speak to you on a subject which greatly concerns us all. This subject is HEALTH. Up to the beginning of the World War, very little attention was given Negro Health beyond an indelicate geographical. It was enough the unfiring efforts of our good friend, and Negro Educator, Looker T. Washington, with the co-operation of Loert R. Moton, that we celebrate National Negro Health Week today. This year marks the sixteenth Anniversary of National Negro Health Week. Some of the Associations that have taken an active part in making Health Week a success are as follows: National Tuberculosis Association, American Red Cross, U. S., Public Health Service, Committee on Interracial Cooperation, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., National Child Welfare Association, National League on Urban Conditions, American Social Hygiene Association, National Association of Graduate Nurses, The National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, The National Medical Association and the National Negro Business League. The United State's Public Health Service has issued a bulletin which contains important information for Health Week and throughout the year, and may I pause here to place a special emphasis on, throughout the year. Not only should National Negro Health Week be celebrated from March 30 to April 6th, but every day, we should do something to make our nation a better nation. Men everywhere, regardless of race or class, are coming to see that human life must be saved before it can be enriched. A movement that saves and elevates lives must expand. Why, some will ask, is there such a stir about Health Week at this time? Let us ask these individuals this question, who pays the bills when men, women and children die through ignorance of Health Laws? We—the people just the plain Public regardless of race, color or creed, is a reasonable answer. Nearly one half of the deaths that occur are from preventable diseases. Sunshine, hot water, roop, brooms, white-wash, and trash barrels are some of the important weapons used in fighting death rate. In few activities is co-operation of more importance than in school health service. The team work that we shall consider today as it is to be obtained from first the children, second, the parents, the teachers and other agencies. The co-operation of the children is considered first, because their interest is essential to the correction of bad Health Habits. It is a sad truth, but in many cases the child is the boss as to whether he should visit the physician or dentist during the year, so it is that his interest must be stimulated and thus obtaining his co-operation, is the first start toward the correction of physical defects. Some of the methods in use in the schools today are use of slates, taking of milk in school nutrition Classes. Health Content Class, Health Challenge Cup, weight Charts, Health Honor Rolls, Health Ships, Health plays and demonstration, a Ladder and a School Board of Health, in which each pupil has an opportunity to act as Health Inspector for the other members of his class each morning. Better that a child passes a C. B. H. Degree (Clean Bill of Health) other than an A. B. one is essential in order to get the most out of, and put the most into life. This problem of health cannot be racial when we consider just how closely the races are brought into contact daily. Without Health and Long Life all else fails. We must reduce death rate dethrong diseases, and enthrone health and long life. Let us make a strong united pull together. A LETTER FROM THE FOREIGN FIELD How kind you have been in sending me "The Star." I always know that I shall at that receive a tangle o. "Stars" at every incoming mail boat. You don't know how much comfort the reading matter has been to me as it does give the news. I tell you, the "Stars" have been like letters to me here in far away Africa, sixty miles back here in the bush, away from civilization. For months after arrival, The Star" was the only mail that came for me. I get from it National and State news, and best of all, Wichita news. Thanks for your kindness. It might be interesting to you to know that quite a number of immigrants are coming to Liberia from the States and settling on farms, and seem to do quite well, but farming here is quite dicerent from that in America, we do not have implements, and too, insects and wild animals are great foes, with which to contend. Our school was the largest in the Republic last year. We cared for 112 boarding students. That is quite an achievement, and our school was complimented by President C. D. R. King. But we had to turn students away, because we did not have means to care for them; this year, we are praying for moore "coopers," (as we say here) might come to give a greater opprotunity for service in this dark land. How much I thank the kind friends who remembered me at Christmas time. Mrs. P. B. Bates $5.00; the Hutcherson family $5.00; Miss Clara Neal $1.00; a group of friends sent four lovely packages; I have not received a letter as yet as to who was responsible for them, but I have the names of some of the givers. How much I did appreciate every gift. Mother's church in Denver, Rev Prince, Pastor, sent me six lovely boxes; and mother's box to me, is on the way. Santa Clause was partially good to me; but he forgot to leave one thing, and that was a 'fruit cake.' I suppose I received too much. The children all gather around and guess what is in each parcel, and it is so much fun to open them. I thank God for all the lovely gifts. I am very well and can now eat as much rice as any of the children. But rice does not make you fat, so none need worry about my size. I thought at first that I had been handed in China instead of Africa, when they served me rice at every meal, but I realized, soon, that rice is the most important dish in Liberia, as well as China. Remember me to the readers of "The Star" and say to them, "give you every bit of news so that I may get it." Much love to all! I am going to try and write more this year than last, if possible, but I always have to find five "cooper" to mail a letter to the states. So many people have sent me United States stamps, but I have to buy a Librarian stamp, as you see. I will appreciate letters at your convenience. Thank you again and again for The Star. Children have gotten to look for its coming. My student's letter printed in your paper was great inspiration to him. I am now working here at Suehn with Rev. D. A. Hubbard, who knows you quite well. He pastored in Mississippi and later went to Chicago. He has been here seven years and founded Hubbard Mission under another Board. He is now working under National Baptist Convention Board at Suehn. He is so very fine, I promised to mention him to you. Lovingly in His service. Mildred Griffin SUBSCRIPTION $1.50 JUST KIDS—The Teacher of Red Gulch.

INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CO. NATIONAL BAPTEST CONVENTION AUDITOR KILLED It was at Scottsburg, Indiana, Apr. 16, that Prof. E. D. Pierson, Auditor of the National Baptist Convection met his fate, by unknown hands or purposes, seemingly to hide errors already committed. His funeral was attended in Chicago, Ill, last Wednesday by a large congregation. There are several discouraging features concerning this awful tragedy: First, he was a servant of one of the largest organizations owned and controlled by Negroes in the world. It was his duty to detect errors, give solutions for them and protect the National Baptist Convention against anything that seemed destructive. Whenever any man decides to correct men or institutional for love or money, he is on the shortest road to his own down fall, because men and institutions that want to do right or are usually doing right, or they welcome anyone, who can help them make things perfectly clear. Any man doing business for the love of the cause, is begging testimonies to prove his worth. Prof. Ierson was manian and had his faults, but seemingly had an eye single of his duty, to his denominational cause. He fought for clean for clear and clean cut business, which is the only safe guard to business and confidence of a people, or denomination, but it has always been so, but how can you stop right here unless you kill God. He said, The offenses must come, but woe unto the ones who causes them Now that Bro. Pierson is gone, a martyr for the interest of his church, we should not cease in prayer nor efforts, until right is known and vindicated. Second. There are millions of young Baptists like all other young people, wanting to see a proof of this religion that is taking so much time, and money to operate. Naturally, they look to the heads for the knowledge and examples; they have applied science that have stood the test, but when it comes to religion, it will not or does not stand the test. They want Jesus, but they cannot find enough of Him applied in the lives of leaders, to constrain them, that He is real or does; or if it pays to follow, especially such false hallucinations that give such convincing demonstrations that it is money, honor and office that we wont, and we must have it at any cost. Thus, leaders once honored and loved, end in disgrace and shame, leaving a scar offensive to the next generation. Third, it is discouraging to think that the Kingdom cannot come thru us and maybe God will have to raise up another nation, that will obey, God's cause needs more men, who will die for the right, who will see Jesus looking before they will see Five Cents Per Copy. WESTERN BAPTIST CONVENTION CALL MAYWOOD, ILL. The call of the Western Baptist Convention. Pastors and Baptist Churches of the Western States, the Conventional year is almost ended. The Western Baptist Convention adjourned last May to meet with the Tabernacle Baptist Church, 3200 Washington Boulevard, St. Louis, Mo. Rev, S. A. Mo-ley, D. D., was pastor, Tugsday after the 2nd Sunday in May 1930, (May 13-16.) The churches are urged to be represent the laymen movement. Tues-representatives. Women's Missionary- Societies of the Baptist Church are urged to be represented. The men of our church are called to represent the laymen movement. Tuesday and Wednesday the Women's Missionary and Educational Convention will meet, Mrs. Ida F. Bates of Wichita, Kansas, President. The outstanding objectives of this Convention for which money should be sent are Home and Foreign Missions and Christian Education. The future of the Baptists of the West lies largely in the training of its leadership. Western College at Kansas City, Mo, needs the support of every Baptist Church in the Western States, and should have it. The Central Theological Seminary at Topeka, Kansas, needs the same. We must look to the pastors and churches for this support. This Convention has always stood for Foreign Mission. We should do more now. Rev. J. E. East of the Foreign Mission Board is expected to be present. Every dime you send for Foreign Mission, will go directly to the Foreign Board thro' Dr. East. This is the Fiftieth Jubilee year of the National Baptist Convention. We are a part of that Convention, and a loyal part should do everything in our power to make a success. We must make our showing at the Jubilee Session, being held in Chicago. We should help to make a success of the Chautauqua and Training School held at Topeka in July. Chicago, and Illinois, will attend the Couvention in St. Louis, in great numbers. Yours truly, I. A. THOMAS, President, J. W. COLEMAN, Cor. Sec'y men looking. We should pray oce united prayer throut this country, i. e., "That the right parties should be apprehended and punished for their wrongs that they met out to this our Br6. Person. If nearly four million Baptist would ask God to turn on the light in this case, we shall all know the truth. WILL YOU PRAY? (BY REV. P. B FITZWATER, DD, Member of Faculty, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (© 1910, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for April 27 ! LESGON TEXT—Matthew 19:18-30. GOLDEN TEXT—Lay up for your selves treasures in heaven. DIG—Giving Jesus First INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-How Shall We Use Our Money? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC-Stewardship of Possessions. The lesson title is likely to be misunderstood and the teaching misapplied. Christ did not directly, nor by implication teach that eternal life could be obtained by parting with possessions. I. A Certain Young Man (v. 16). For a full view of the characteris tics of this man, see Mark 10:17-30 and Luke 18:18-30. (1) Courageous (Mark 10:7). He was of high standing—a rich young ruler (Luke 18:18, 23). To come to Jesus at this time might mean ostracism, but with many courage he came. (2) Earnest (Mark 10:17). He knelt before Jesus, thus showing earnestness and sincerity. (3) High aspirations (v. 16). He wanted eternal life. Though taken up with the things of his present life, he felt the need of preparing for a life beyond. (4) Plous and moral (v. 20). From his youth he had conformed to God's moral law. (5) He believed that Christ could inform him of the "good thing" to be done to inherit eternal life. (1) About Christ (v. 16). He esteemed Jesus to be good, but did not apprehend Him as God; otherwise he would have known Him not merely as one who did good, but as one who is essentially good; that Is, God. (2) Concerning himself. He thought he was good and that he could do something good. (3) Concerning eternal life. He thought that it could be obtained by good works. He did not know that the only way to gain eternal life was to receive it as a gift from God (Rom. 6:23). II. The Lord's Dealing With Him (vv. 17:22). Jesus skillfully led the young man to see his errors. 1. His question—"Why callest thou me good?" (v. 17). Before giving him a chance to answer He declared that only God was good, as if to say, "I am good, and therefore God." He was God manifest in the flesh, and repudiated the thought of being known merely as a good man. 2. Jesus' answer to the young man's question (vv. 17-20). "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." Christ met him here on his own ground, namely, that of the law. He took the young man's level that the young man's real worth might be revealed (Rom. 3:19, 20). 3. Christa command (v. 21, 22). Replying to Christ's citation of the commandments of the law, the young man asserted that he had kept them from his youth. Yet in his inner conscience he knew that there was something lacking. When he had to make the supreme decision between Jesus and his possessions, he chose wealth. III. The Relationship of the Rich to III. The Relationship of the Rich to the Kingdom (vv. 23-26). This teaching concerning the peril of riches was most timely. Covetousness was fast taking hold of the people. 1. It is difficult for the rich to enter into the kingdom (vv. 23, 24). This difficulty lies not in the possession of riches, for a man may possess great riches and be an heir of the kingdom. Money in itself is essentially good. It will help the poor and help bring the gospel to the lost. The difficulty lies in trusting in riches. 2. Entrance into the kingdom, though difficult, is possible (vv. 25, 20). (1) It is possible for the grace of God to sanctify riches, to open a man's eyes that he may see his downward course and repent, to change a man from self seeking to self sacrificing. IV. Rewards for Following Christ (vv. 27-30). Those who turn their backs upon their kindred and possessions for the sake of Christ shall receive an hundredfold in this life, and eternal life in the world to come. Obedience Obedience is the secret. Not slavish obedience, but sympathetic, loving eager obedience. "His delight is in the law of the Lord." May the law of holiness be to me welcome as the light, sweet as the flowers, more to be desired than much fine gold—W. L. Watkinson. In Company With Jesus Get into sympathy with Jesus. Seek His presence, seek His help. And walking through the world in His company, you will be as palm in the bleakest weather, a benediction in the wildest scene. -James Hamilton. The only duty of friendship is that we and our friends should live at our highest and best when together. Having achieved that, we have fulfilled the law.—Randolph Bourne. "VOCATIONAL CHOICE" "WHAT IS A USEFUL LIFE?" Lesson Text: 2 Timothy 2:15;21,22 A Vocational Choice is like that of salvation. Strictly personal. It is not always easy for one to determine what his life work will be, nor for what he is best fitted. Perhaps two leads might help in making life's decision: First—What is the primal urge? Secondly—The thing which we can do best. Both of these however, should be given opportunity for development in order that life's choice may be the right one for our personality. In making life's choice, one should be a close observer of what he hears and sees. The wrong choice not only makes us inefficient in it, but unfits us for the task for which we were made. Whether we have one talent or five, if we find our task and be faithful, we can be an artist in our work. Saul wanted a man who could play well. David was that man. Paul admonished Timothy to take heed to the things which he had heard, and that he a real soldier in the field to which he was called; Shedding every possible hinderance, taking every necessary drill, that he may be an expert in his work. In the fifteenth verse, Paul thinks in terms of physicians; that we are to operate with the greatest skill in the work of the Lord. THOUGHTS A useful life is a life that is invested for the good of others. The abundant life is the life that forgets itself. In making a vocational choice we should ask the question, where can I serve best and most? It is perhaps more in how you invest than what you invest. Topeka Kansas News EAST HILL TOPEKA, KANS. REV.

THE time for the Boards to have their quarterly meetings, is near at hand, and every worker should help his or her church, meet its state obligations. The Cause needs a united effort of all the Baptists of the State. LET every Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., in the State, look forward to the selection of their best talents to be in Atchison, Kansas, June 10-14, 1930. Both Conventions are perparing great programs for the enlightment of the Young Baptists. THE CHURCH should be very careful to not lose Jesus' method in all its transactions; as Jesus is away and is depending on the Church to represent Him the right way. MOST OF US can fool ourselves without half trying. REWARD should be in proportion to usefulness. IF LIFE WERE TOO SIMPLE we'd all be bored with it. BY THE TIME a man reaches the age where he likes to stay home, his children begin to crowd him out. PEOPLE like a little folly in a first-class man because it brings him closer to them. LIFE GOES ALONG like a song for those who do today what should be done today. NO MAN ever exposed himself to trouble without getting more than he expected. THERE ARE A LOT of things every man would like to forget if his wife would let him. IF WE ALWAYS GOT what was coming to us what a lot of punishment some of us would have to take. SOME PEOPLE THINK it is a tragedy that a business man, after he has made a lot of money, is unable to retire from business and be happy doing nothing. I see no tragedy in the situation at all, but I think it would be a tragedy if a man's business meant so little to him that he could discard it like a used car without a single heartache. The first condition of achievement requires that a man put into his activity a full measure of himself. Not only his brains, but his heart, not only his energy, but his ideals, must go into his enterprise if it is to be an outstanding success.
