THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 23, No. 9, STANDARDS vs FUNDAMENTALS By R. A. Adams Often do we hear the expression, "We have different standards from those of other days, and, according to our standards we are all right." But standards are variable; they are unacceptible to changes Standards are influenced by education ethical development, enviromental contacts, and often are changed by legal enactments, but fundamental principles are firm and unchanging. Difference in standards will mitigate moral responsibility, but, in the final analysis, in essence, in substance, in ramifications, and in consequences, right and wrong have to do with fundamentals rather than with standards. Legal enactments, products of the conclusions of men have often sanctly wrong. For instances, Jesus said to loved things which are fundamentally wrong, or instances, Jesus said to the Pharisees, concerning the law of Moses in regard to divorce, "Moses suffered this because of the hardness of your heart, but from the beginning it was not so." Often standard, are set up and fundamentals crucied because of inistent demands for change and because of disposition to ignore those which exist, but these enactments cannot change fundamentals. In the matters of moral, dress, conventions, family adjus ments home government, social relations and individual actions, each generation has its own standard. But the fundamental. of virtue, honesty, modesty, home purity, social uprightness, will never yield to whims and façles nor to the demands that every man shall be a law unto himself! Men will be judged, condemned or acquitted not according to the prevalent standards, but accordingly as they have defied customs and remain true to fundamentals, or departed from fundamentals because standard were more to their hiking and afforded more liberty-- of the destructive alud. The great moral fundamentals are the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule! 'SENATOR ALLEN SPEAKS Uron his return to Washington from a trip to Kansas S. meteor Heiny J Allen announced to avt that he would be glad to present the claim of any Kansas Veterans of the Spanish-American War to the commissioner of pensions for benefit under the new law which was passed yesterday over the President's veto. This act raises the pensions of the Spanish War Veterans by five to ten dollars per month and reduces the minimum service requirements of pensioners from ninety days to seventy days. Thousands of harassed Veterans will benefit from the new law. Senator Allen advised veterans who are eligible to receive increased pensions to be sure to make application under the act of June 2,1930. Otherwise the pension bureau would consider their claims under the previous act. The increases are not automatic but must be applied for by the veterans themselves. MOREHOUSE AWARDS SIXTY DEGREES Atlanta, Ga., June 3--At the sixty third annual commencement today, Morhouse College conferred sixty lachelor's degrees.

TO THE BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE OF AMERICA To The Baptist Young People Of America; Greetings: The Executive Board of the National Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress is prescribing the best educational and inspirational program it has ever had for its next session, which convenes in Chicago Aug 14-25 1970 in connection with the Golden Jubilee of the National Bartist Concubition, therefore. I am urging every Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. to arrange to be representer, if not by delegation, certainly by letter and representation cee. This is the day of efficiency and perons who are trying to lead in any capacity must be prepared. They must have vision or the people who they are endeavoring to lead, will perish. The Congress is the greatest source of information and inspiration for Young People among our demination in America; hence we are insisting that each church assist at least, the Superintendent of your School and President of your Union, to represent, in person at our next session. It would indeed be splendid if each School and Union could send a delegate from each of their departments, but if you cannot do this, let each Superintendent and President see to it that each department send by him or her 1.00' o'er enrollment fee for these Departments in the Congress. Let every Department be represented, from the Cradle Roll to the Adult Department. The Pastor's Department is the latest accession to our Congress I trust they will see to it that I become the leading one as the Pastors must lead. They should attend the Congress first, in order to exchange ideas and get plans of other Pastors and second, to see that their Young People are being properly inducted, during this age of derelection. Our goal this year is 10,003. dollars and in order to reach this, we are requesting each organization to bring or send t special Jubilee donation wide from representation fee. This is the Golden Jubilee of our Parent Body and would be quite fitting could be made in Gold. Let each state stive to makeits special donation reach the 100 dollar market. The local Sunday Scrool Union making the largest Special Jubilee donation, will be awarded the GOLDEN JUBILEE GANNER. Because of the limited time allowed the Congress this year, we have arranged for Wednesday August 13, to be used for registration and getting acquainted. In the afternoon the Finance and Enrollment Committees will be in Olivet Bantist Church, prepared to register all deligates and summon them with badges and programs. Wednesday right is ACQUAINTANCE NIGHT and this meeting will also be held in the above mentioned church ALL DELIGATES ARE REQUESTED TO REPORT AT OLIVET BAPTIST CIL. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, June 6, 1930 THE PLEA OF CHARLOTTE MILLS By Max Miller (Literary Service Bureau) Yes,nover the individual might be, what ever the princible sinvolv edcircumstances alter cases and lir cumstances mitigate moral responsibility. If you dissent,then stolly the question more. Service Bureau 1920) (The Literary Service Bureau-1930) The Plea of Charlotte Mills By Maxie Miller. A most pathetic plea against intolerance and injustice was published in the Cosmopolitan Magazine a time ago. It will be remembered that this girl was the daughter of Eleanor Mills, the woman who wih her clerical lover, Dr. Edward Wheeler, Hall was murdered in Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1922. Charlotte Mills contends that at the trial for the murder she an innocent girl of sixteen, was humiliated and abused. According to her statement she was que tioned concerning the clothes she wore, and there were insinuations that she was not good; that she was dishonest and di horrible; and that she knew of her mother's sir, approved and abetted. She relates how she was taken from her home at midnight and carried to the place where her mother had been murdered: how efforts were made to induce her father to send her away from home to some institution for incorrigibles; and how persistent were the efforts to humilate, scandalize, and destroy her. She makes the statement that be cause of circumstances men seem to think they had the right to approach her with indecent proposals and thus constantly to annoy and in a honest way, the most inexcusable and inhuman part of the persecution was the action of enemies in seeking her out exposing her identity and hindering her errnest effort to make an honest living. The plea of Charlotte Mills is that the world has no right to make her pay for mistakes, or even for the sins of her mother. But the world is cold unsympathetic, hard heated, an exacting; therefore it gives little need to her pathetic plea, ((Why make me pay?)) In the case of Charlotte Mills there is a lesson for girls to appreciate home protection and opportunity; for fathers who should be more just, more courageous, in the protection of their dighters; for n others reminding them that their innocent children cannot escape the consequences of such misdoings. The sad plight of Charlotte Mills, and the circumstances of others who face similar conditions are a chal- rence to the spirit of juice,tolerance and charity which should character- lise relations and actions between man and man, and especially doe it empha- sive what should be the attitude of the more fortunate toward the unfortunate of all classes. ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOR ENROLLMENT. The Jubilee Commission has arran- ranged for the Congress to leave the entire day, August 14, for its first sessions, thereafter the programs will be rendered alternately with the Par- ent Body,and the two Auxilaries and The Laymen's movement. Friday, August 22nd will be known as Field Day and we are ashing each organization to come prepared to take 'n drills relay, etc. We plan to make this the greatest Field Day exer in the history of Young Baptist of America. Our Departmental Meetings will be held as usual in a suitable building secured by the Committee on Arrangements. Let those who have never visited this Scholl of Methods come to this session and join with the thousands, who from yea have been inured and exposed their appreciation for benefi derived from the Sunday School and B.

Lesson was omitted; President made WHAT WE REALLY NEED By Granville Jordan The great need to day is not more laws on the statute books, defining new crimes and telling how to regulate human behavior, for Congress and States' Legislators have given us enough, so that if we should adhere to only a quarter of them, we would be the most perfect people living on the face of God's green earth. But in spite of all these wellmeaning laws, we find that our youth lead the world in waywardness, ard, consequently, in all major crimes. In the Scandinavian countries we find that crime is almost nil. In England there is a greater percentage, but not to compare with New York and Chicago combined, for these two cities have outstripped the entire United Kingdom in all crimes. It is high time then that we a k ourselves the why of this appalling situation. In these countries that I have just mentioned their cities are less governed by the civil law and a great deal more by the moral code Here we find every man, as it were, fully conscious of his moral obligations to his community. To this you may say that is because the people, as a whole are more homogeneous. There might be some truth in that; but I am inclined to credit it more largely upon the heads of their untiring conscientious moral leaders. It is true that all this went through a low, uneven process, but it is also of prime importance to know that human instincts, habits and customs evolve very slowly. This is what our religious-political fanatics, who try to make us good over night, must be made to see—that they are wasting time. Therefore, the real need in America today is honest to goodness, courageous and Christian-like moral leaders—leaders who will recapture the imagination of the youth of the land—leaders whose work it will be to bring back home to us the moral code that our leading clergies and reformers have divorced from the civil law. If we must meet the challenge of youth and thereby save society, then we need, by all mans, a speedy withdrawal of our religious-political lobbyists from the halls of the States and the Nation's Capitol, and let them see where their work is most effective. Civil laws at their best are in sufficient to insure organizer society against the proclivities of human nature. It takes the subtle working system of the moral code to turn the truck. We delegate a few right's to the courts in order that we might be protected from the will if the strong and the mighty scrupulous. Also for a contract to carry out their obligation, and so on But the strongest motives behind it all is the moral influence. The moral man, when tempted to do wrong, thinks first, always, of what society will think about his conduct; what his neighbor or wife and children will think. But of the Court, he is little concerned, if any. It would be quite nice if our Legislators could describe a panacea to cure our many ill, but it just can't work that wave. Why, if this was possible, we would have gotten rid of lynching long ago The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment, and even the Eighteenth, and their subsequent fulfillments would not be great problems to us today. But the trouble is the people as a whole, are not fully conscious of the moral evils involved in these question. Once they can see them from a moral point of view, they cease, immediately, to be problems. For society to hang together, it must have religion. A religion that will interpret and evaluate life for the people. Religion, as you know is the way of life And life is known to us as an integrating process; hence, if religion is to suffice all ages, it must be ever changing, ever unfolding to us the secrets and richness of human existence. These leaders, therefore, must be to install in the minds of the very young, the moral ideas pertaining to his relation to his God and his conduct toward his fellow men. This is the true calling and duty of the moral teacher and not of our Legislators. her report on the convention held at Coffeyville.

SOME PROBLEMS OF THE MINISTER 3rd Article: Must Be Called and Sent By BISHOP R. S. WILLIAMS In ageneral and most comprehensive sense, all men have a right to preach and teach christianity, just as they have a right to teach letters or number, so far as their ability extend but it is the right of Heaven to select men for the special work of preaching the Gospel of Christ. On turning to the prophetical office, a still near type of the Christian ministry, God said: "I have made the a watchman unto Irreal, therefore hear the words of My mouth and give them warning." Again: "I will give you pastors according to mine own heart, not according to human tastes and human fancie mark you and they shall feed the people with knowledge and understanding. I have set watchmen upon thy wall, O Jerusalem which shall never hold their peace. In that celebrated prayer which closed Him ministry on earth, Christ said: "As thou hast sent me, so have I sent them into the world." Notice the specification "rent." I send you as lambs among wolves, he that receiveth you receiveth Me and Him that sent Me. I submit, therefore, that the true minister must be divinely called and set apart for the one special business of preaching the Go pel, and it is around such, and such only, that the arms of Heaven are thrown and honors immortal cluster. Man from personal motives may call, train, and drill; may set up, stereotype, and send out ministers, that is, men in the name of minister, as is the custom of all the branches of the church and schools, some more and same less, but witcut the concurrence and sanction of Him whose Gospel is to be preached, all will be invain. MUSICAL RECITAL The musical recital given at St. Paul, by Mrs. Mabel Belcher, resulted in a success; a very nice crowd including some of our white friends; Thru courtesy of the Jenkins' Music Co., a Baby Steinway was furnished.

Misses Bessie Elliott and Bertha Roberton were the readers; Loraine Stephenson sang beautifully, as usual. Great applause followed each of the tendrils Miss Dorothy I. Sims, leading pianist, noted for her technique, rythm, and phrasing, brot all this out and more in the piano numbers which she rendered. As a whole the program was peppy, spicy and were satisfied with the finance the tickets sold readily.

FACLS THE FUTURE An interesting process is going on within she ranks of the Young Men Christian Association. Under the authorization of the late, meeting the National Council of the Y.M.C.A. and by appointment at the hands on its General Secretary, a representative Commission is making a study of the policies and program of this modern young men's movement, to ascertain in what ways, if any, its purposes should be restated, and what steps should be taken to make these purposes more effective. The commission will doubtless discover a wide array of opinions concerning the subject in hand, ranging from the views of those who think that the evangelical and orangeistic purpose the Association is still adequate, to the opinion of those who would boldly bid it drop all distinctive Christian traditions and marks. A minority of those interested would have it become a pure and simply humanitarian project, not alone striving as it has always dore, to serve all classes and conditions of men, but welcoming into its governing bords and its determining per onel men of all religious faiths, and men of note. It is pointed out by some of those who incline to the latter point of view that the Association has already restated its purpose, largely along recreational and social line and that if it has any real glow implications, they are very remote and feeble. There are others who feel that unless the Association across the country, renews and enlarges its vital contacts with the Christianity that gave it birth and that has been the mainstay of its expanding work, it will abdicate its real reason for existence. Christian Herald voices the hope that this remarkable agency of the Christian Church, which numbers among its past and present leaders some of the finest flowers of Christianity at its best, may find increasing rather than diminishing use for the realities and implications of the person and spirit of Jesus Christ It is not at all amiss, popularity, to call this great agency the "Y", or to speak of it as the "Association." It may be nothing short of a tragedy, however, if the ("C"were to be blunted or obliterated. Not less of Christ but more, is the need of the Young Men's Christian Association, as well as of the Church itself.—Christian Herald. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity has set apart the week of May 4th to 11th in which to conduct its annual Go To High School, Go To College Campaign. This campaign is the forerunner of all and similar movements and programs conducted by various organizations to create interest in the value of education. By means of it the fraternity attempts in various ways to stimulate the ambition of our boys and girls to seek education and search-for Truth. The Alpha Phi Alpha engaged in a militant for uphift and betterment, for promotion of the highest ideals of manhood and womanhood, and for creating interest in the higher and finer things of life. According to the leaders of the movement there is great need for effective work among Negro youth. In the census of 1920, of the population 10 years and over, the percentage of illiteracy shown was 5.9. Of this native white, 2 per cent were illiterate; the foreign born 13.1 per cent were illiterate; the Negro 22 per cent were illiterate. The Go To High School, Go To College Campaign works for the benefit of American boys and girls regardless of race or creed and happens to be one of the few movements in this country that does not ask the public for financial assistance. Each year people of various races and religious creeds participate in this great program. These include ministers, educators, business and professional men and women, authors, high officials of government, publishers and captains of industry, Churches and social service organizations eagerly volunteer their cooperation. About one hundred of our -prom inent Race leaders have been asso quo to suoppose us up quads of paugs country during the month of May 4th. Many of these will be heard over broadcasting stations. Instructing and inspiring literature has been compiled and is being distributed to the characte for use during the campaign week. Already requests are being recel ved for this from high schools and social organizations. Local chapters will conduct public meetings. talks before various student bodies and will make personal contacts with parents. Movie slides, circulas, bulletins and personal letters and placards will futher accaint the public with the purpose of the movement. The Go To High School, Go To College Campaign is only one of several activities carried on by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity through its Department of Educational Activities. It is not an attempt, necessarily, to make college graduates of every boy and girl. It is, however, ```markdown ``` I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY If you are satisfied with Ugly Gray and faded Hair, that makes you look like you are fifty years old when you are only thirty.

Man is immortal till his work is done.— Livingston. The wonderful way God is leading keeping and helps me , I believe Dr. Livingston. During the winter, I visited the brethren in their Ministers' Conference in Pittsburgh, Phil adel phila Newark, N. J.; Cleaveland and Detroit. The Golden Jubilee has been the burden of my song at all these meetings. By A. D. 300 there had been 3000 Baptist slain, but those who were left never broke down but pushed on till their, doctrine of a new birth soul liberty is known and believed the world over. "The uttermost part of the earth is promised to Jesus by God our Father." Copy for a Negro Baptist History is now ready for the printers. This will be the first and only Standard History ordered by the National Convention. I have given four years to its preparation and it will help someone make a better book. The introduction is by Dr. W. F. Graham. It will be issued from our own Sunday School Publishing Board. Factors and people are responding to the Jubilee appeal everywhere. The exhibits are being gathered and everything points to a great meeting Pennsylvania hopes to turn over to Iresidant Williams at the Golden Jubilee a 100 per cent 100 dollars and get a Baptist center for the state as we'll out of the drive. The pews used by the founders of our National Baptist Convention in Montgomery, will be on exhibition in Chicago at our Golden Jubilee We have just learned that Rev. A. Rivers who baptized President Williams was one of the founders of ofous National Baptist Convention, and he hopes to be in Chicago. So far as we can learn, he with Dr.T.Jordan and Mrs Petiford are the only three living deligates of record who were there. Mrs. C. M. Wells of Alabama was there but not a deligate The assassination of Abram Lin- The assassination of Abraram Lincoln was an awful blow to this nation. For a few rours after the news reached all the great centers the situation was indescribable It was in that trying hour that James A. Garfeld shouted to the excited crowd "God still lives in the heavens and the Government lives in Washington." Negro Baptist in the loss of our author, because of the way he was taken, feel it too deeply for words to express themselves, but the cause of God, which includes our Golden Jubilze goes forward. So many good men died to lead us where we and by his help we will push on with our task—the cause is the Lord's sand must go or. Yours in his service, L. G. Jordan, Sec'y Emeritus-Histor.

You cannot escape the results of your thoughts, but you can endure and learn, can accept and be glad. You will realize the vision (not the idle will) of your heart, be it base or beautiful, or a mixture of both, for you will always gravitate towards that which you secretly, most love. In your hands will be placed the exact results of your thoughts; you will receive that which you earn; no more, no less. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts, your wisdom, your ideal. You will become as small as you controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration—Forbes Climbing OPPORTUNITY A little opportunity Knocked at my door one day But I was deaf and did not hear And so—he went away.

Didn't it increase your enjoyment of beauty and life? The mere presence of light is an inspiration to buy. Darkness and dinginess are repugnant to everybody. And by the same token, brightness and cheerfulness are universally attractive. That is why the bright store draws the trade. Can you conceive of anything more depressing than to step into a dim, ill-lighted store when you want to buy something? The desire to purchase is at once blunted.
