THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol 23, No.11, THE OLDEST OF ITS KIND MONTGOSI ERY ALABAMA JUNE $TH The 56th session of the Alabama Stae Teachers College at Montgomery which is the oldest state supported teacher training institution for Negroes in the entire United States and which is the largest as indicated in the report of President H. Council Trenholmto the effect that 4763 had been enrolled in all the divisions during the past 12 months, was closed by a future commencement week that included not only the customary exercises but the awarding of diplomas to 97 graduates on June, 4 a special alumni program commemorating the 50th university of the first graduating class, and the first reports of the memorial equipment for the two new buildings which are being finished at this time at a cost of $297,000 as a part of the half million dollar expansion program now being completed. The exercises on Sunday had featured the sermon by Dr. R. T. Pollard, past President of Salem University, whose hither was a member of the first graduating class 50 years ago and who spoke very interestingly on the true and the false in life values. The commencement address on Wednesday morning by President J. R. E. Lee of the Florida A. and M. College at Tennessee who for 50 years has been in direct touch with the work of this featured an appeal to the graduates to emulate the qualities of the founder and other past presidents of this historic institution whose memory constitute a worthy heritage for all graduates of Alabama State Teachers College and who in their lives teachers as they include particularly illustrated the traits of any great teachers as they include particularly the love of humanity, the desire to do a good job, the quality of tolerance, the ability to profit by ones mistakes, the love of the beautiful in nature and in labor, and finally, a grateful respect for ones own heritage. Diplomas were awarded to 73 high school graduates and to 21 junior college graduates with the announcement on the part of President Trenholm that more than one half of the sonhomore class had waived junior college graduation initiation of their continued attendance during the next two years to qualify for the B. S. degree in Education which is now being offered by the institution incudent to the college program which has been persuaded by 404 students during this regular year. The Alumni Anniversary on Tuesday night, June 3, featured a pageant depicting the five graduating exercises of 1920, 1920, 1900, 1890 and 1650 with representatives from each of these classes having a part in the program. It was shown that 72 persons were in these five classes with 56 of them still living and with 4 of the first 6 graduates of 50 years ago still living. A new feature the awarding of the alumni hono certificates to those eleven persons who were present for this alumni reunion and who were Misses Faustine Hamblin, Lucille Harris, Marguerite Moore, and Mrs. Natu'le Poster Elmore of the class of 1920, Medames Edna Donk King, Camilla Hightower Hester, Bertha West Williams Mr. Joseph Hall of the class of 1910, Mrs. Peulah Pope of the class of 1900, Mrs. Frances Harron Reynolds of the class of 1890, and Mrs Clara Douglas Shaw of the class of 1880. The alumni business meeting was also hell in connection with the night program and included not only very encouraging reports of work throughout the country with (continued on page 3) WOMAN'S AMERICAN BAPTIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY PLEDGES $25,000 TOWARD SPELMAN ENDOWMENT FUND Announcement has just been made of a pledge of $25,000 from the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society toward the endowment fund of Spelman College. Spelman College has been support- ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION A great day in Zion was Sunday, June 15, in the St. James Baptist church of Erupolia. The first anniversary of the pastorate of Rev Chas O. Marshall was observed. The day began with a devotional service participated in by the St. James Baptist church, Mt. Olive A. M. E., Handy Chapel C. M. E. and Second Christian church members. The meeting opened at 5:30 A. M. by deacon Joe Jobes assisted by Bro. Lincoln Gavin, Bro. Clatence Davis, and Bro. H. H. Marshall, gospel singer from Wichata. The Holy Spirit met with us, and there were two additions. Many came forward for prayer. The Sunday School opened about fiveteen minutes late, with Supt. W. E. Carter presiding the attendance was not as large as usual, but an insin- ing session was held, with a good lea- son well taught. The 11 o'clock worship hour was opened with a short devotional service led by Pro. H. F. Marshall, Pastor C. O Marshall preached from 1 Smt. 7:12 and Heb. 13.5(b) on the subject "The help of God, Past and Future. God's Spirit prevailed at this service. A* one o'clock, members filled in and visitors went down to the dining room for an old fashion basket dinner; the tables were laden with everything good to eat, and plenty to spare. Iostor Marshall received three anniversary ceshae, two of which were divided among the guests, but the third was reserved for private consumption. Three o'clock sharp, the officers assisted by Bto. Marshall, opened d'讼ional. Rev.C. Favors of Ottawa, with a good number of his members came to worship with usaltho arriving a little late, Rev. Favors was forgiven because of the bunning message he brought on a subject, "He shall be Great," from Iule 152; we were very much pleased to have Rev. Favors and his mentors with us. His coming demonstrated to us the possibility of Emporia and Ottawa, co-overlapping together. God was present in this service. Ommitting our B. Y. P. U. period, we made a final stand for the evening service: beginning at 7:45 p. m., the devotional period led by the brethren was followed with the regular opening; the choir singing. Rev. Marshall chose for a text, Num. 10.29, Theme, 'Come With Us.' He made an earnest plea for fellow travelers to accompany the church to the promised land. Nore accepted the invitation. The feature of the day was the ringing of Bro. P.E. Marshall, which interspersed and seasoned each service of the day. St James Bantle- Church declares Bro. Marshall a great singer; not because he is a brother of Pastor Marshall, but on his own means. To hear him once will leave a desire to hear him once will leave a desire to hear him again. We recommend him to any one who desires to actually have the Gospel rung, and we are anxiously awaiting his return. St. James is planning an onward match and desires the players of the household of faith. ced since its foundation almost entirely by annual grants from missionary and philanthropic organizations, and gifts from individual friends. An effort is now being made to place the college on a more stable financial basis. Alumni and friends of the are working to raise the necessary funds to meet a conditional offer of the General Educational Board toward builings and endowment. Spalman was founded by two members of the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society of New England, and the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Societies have sponsored the work through the fourty-nine years of its growth. The pledge of $25,000 is an expression of the interest of Baptist women in the college. There still remains about $250,000 which must be raised before July 1, 1932 in order to meet the conditions of the General Board offer.

By Edward Johnson. We read, with no little regret in last Friday's Beacon (the 10th) that Capt. W. L. Hutcheson is soon to lay down his multitudinous duties as Executive Secretary of the Water Street Y. M. C. A., and take up the duties of General Secretary at the Colored Branch of the Y. M. C. A., in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I repeat that the reading of this article caused a sincere feeling of regret in me and the boy life of Wichita, and generally all over Kansas for we feel that he has been father, friend, elder brother, counselor, teacher, and just plain "Hutch" to boys of all ages. He has seemingly in his sympathetic and understanding manner, welded us all into one big family in Christ. I remember my first meeting with Capt. Hutchson soon after his arrival in Wichita. His hearty hand class, with his open, friendly, smiling countenance, that so many people know, made me feel that here was a man in whom I could readily trust, and confide my most secret thoughts, feelings, and desires. We who have been close to his dynamic and inspiring personality, know that my experience with "Hutch" at our first meeting, has been shared by a large number of men and boys. If you doubt this man's influence and the great good he has done for Christian fellowship, world brotherhood, civic betterment, and the making of real men, only turn back to the pages of the remarkable history of the Water Steet Y. M. C. A., a few years prior to, and after his arrival. from a little two-story frame dwelling with no regular full-time secretary with no definite tangible south of Wichita, in the four-fold program for developing the Negro development of life, to a modern dwelling with Mr. Hutcherson in charge, aided by a full time boys' work secretary in the person of Mr. G. B. Winston, with a part-time associate secretary in the person of Mr. Montell Parks, and the efficient secretary of Mr. Hutcherson, Miss Neal, we have the machinery that helps to inspire, mold, direct, and develop the boys of Wichita. Another dwelling, also modern as to facilities and equipment, just South of the main branch is used exclusively for boys club work. That briefly, friends, is the direct efforts of this remarkably energetic man in the place of a few years. Sandwiched in between is his program of getting the ministers of the various Negro churches, and their congregations, to look up and over denominational lines, and co-operate with one another in the great program of Kingdom building and realization. Moreover he has been instrun ent in bringing together for conference and fellowship, the white minister and his congregation with the colored minister and his congregation. He has promoted better relationships between the two major racial groups in Wichita, and smaller communities in Kansas, and the West, and many communities in the South. He has secured untold privileges, never asked for nor ever before granted for the colored boys of Kansas, and Wichita, in, state conferences, and camps, ercolonal conferences, vox, and national conferences, for four boys in 1920 and one in 1995 enjoyed the inspiration of National M. C. A., meetings with him at Cincinnati, Ohio, and Washington, D. C., (Continued on page 4). Girl Reserve Secretary led the worship service Sunday morning at 9:30. The following persons donated the use of their cars to take girls to camp—Dr. D. R. McGee, Dr. H. H. Wilson, Atty. A. P. Woodland, Atty. B. H. Brown, Dr. H. T. Gender, Mrs. Hattle Brown, Mr. W. B. Lloyd, and Mr. Joseph Mason. Others assisting at camp during the week-end were Mrs. Helen Duke, Mrs. Hattle Brown, Mrs. L. C. McCullough, Mrs. Ruby Jones and Mrs. Grace Dillard The Y. W. C. A. Secretaries wish to take this method to thank each one who helped to make this camp season possible. Mrs. Adah James of Topeka, was a guest at the Y. W. C. A., last week while attending the Federation of Women's Clubs. MURDER PROBLEM SOLVED SAID POLICE Indianapolis, June, 13 (A. P.). The slaying two months ago of E. D. Dierson, 54, colored, Chicago, Auditor of the National Baptist Convention, killed, police said, because he "knew too much" about the juggling of a $62,000 fund in the Nashville, Tenn., office of the colored organization, was achieved solved today. Under arrest here were the Rev. B. F. J. Westbrook, pastor of the largest colored church in Indianapolis and George Washington, 41, described by police as a hired colored man. At Nashville, police arrested A. M. Townsend, reputedly one of the wealthiest colored men in the country, secretary of the Baptist Sunday school publishing board and author of a colored bank in Nashville. He was released on $10,000 bond. The arrests, detectives believed complete the investigation into the slaying of Lorenzo, who was found tied hand and foot and his body riddled with bullets, where he had been tossed into the Mustnuck river near Scottburg, Ind, April 16 Person was glain as he was returning to Chicago from Nashville, where he had uncovered the discrepancy in the council budget convention loan fund. Town-end would have been "ruined" by the exposure detectives said, and plotted the killing to cover it up. The problem of the boy is a most wholly a problem of his issue. While he is constructively occupied, he is not likely to be in mischief or plotting trouble. Almost always it is the boy who is unemployed who becomes the delinquent or the neighborhood pest. Among the many values of the school, not the least is it the fact that it takes care of six or seven hours daily of the time of the active boy. When vacation comes, this time is thrown back on the boy and his parents. In the country it is not much of a problem. There is stock to take care of, farm work to do and many other things, all of which have in them some thing of the element of adventure and interest; but on the city lot and especially in the apartment, there is practically nothing to take up the boy's time. The Y. M. C. A. Camp offers an ideal solution of this problem to the perplexed parents. The camp is a school of democracy. The boys live under healthy conditions with certain daily responsibilities, with relationships to establish and maintain between themselves and other boys and leaders. There is a daily program of work and play, intense activity which keeps their minds occupied and provides sufficient physical exertion to make them welcome a long night's sleep. There are associations with wholesome adult leaders whose example and instruction will never be forgotten. Those weeks at camp constitute the outstanding experience in the lives of thousands of boys through out the country. Why not give your boy this experience during the coming summer? Topeka Kansas News EAST HILL TOPFKA, KANS. REV U. S. BOWEN, PASTOR MISS E. COX, REPORTER The Sunday School met on time. At 11 the german was preached from Luke 19:13: subject: "Challenges." Mrs. Williams joined. Visitors were Rev and Mrs. Jefferson of True Vine Baptist Church. The B. Y. P. U. met at usual hour. Mr. Clarke of Wichita, was a visitor. A very solendil program was given in honor of the fathers. Mr. R. Taylor was the oldest father present and received a bouquet of flowers.

A big entertainment is on for the Five Cents Per Copy. "As long as I am Governor and as long as the Legislature will furnish funds with which to work, I intend to enforce the laws of Kansas to the best of my ability," declared Governor Clyde M. Reed in an address before the Men's Brothethood of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Paola. "In Kansas prohibition is a settled policy from which the stance will never depart regardless of what any other state or the nation may do. Because of the conspicuous position of Kansas with regard to these matters more efforts have been made to discredit law enforcement in this state than any other. 'The moral effect of the $10,000.00 appropriated by the Legislature for law enforcement was instantaneous. Bootleggers knew the state was in cannest, and the result has been very beneficial. Conditions are greatly improved in the last eighteen months and are the best since the World War." While the $40,000.00 appropriation was primarily for law enforcement it has been a financial gain to the state, the Governor stated. The Attorney General has spent a little less than $10,000.00 and there has been 226 arrests due to the state agents, with 201 convictions. The fines for violations of liquor and cigarette laws amount to $38,000.00. Thirty-nine cars have been confiscated. Part of them have been sold and if the remainder are sold on the same basis it will lign into the treasury $757.50. The fines and the proceeds from the automobiles sold go to the school fund of the county in which the case originates. The total fines assessed and collected, or on the way, amount to $47,797.50. Sixty-two persons have been arrested for violation of the cigaret stamp law and at the same time the taxes collected through regular sources increased more than $13,000 00 due to the activities of the State's agents. Mabel McKinney Surrenders to Police, saying Mate was cruel to Her. STOOD ALL SHE COULD Purchasing a pistol for $6 Wednesday afternoon, Mabel McKinney, 26 of 626 North Wichita, went to her home in the evening and when her husband, Alex, grew abusive she fired three shots.

FITZWATER D. D. Mem ber of Faculty, Mindy Bible Institute of Chicago) (C. 1930 Western Newspaper Union 6 Lesson for June 22 THE RISEN LORD AND THE GREAT COMMISSION GOLDEN TEXT-Go ye therefore and teach all nations LESSON TLVT-Muthew 29.1.20 PRIMARY TOPIC-Carrying on Level Work JESUS' WORK JUNIOR TOPIC—Our Matching Orders INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Our Matching Orders YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Great Commission 1. The Empty Sepulchre (vv. 17) 1. The earthquake (vv. 14) This occurred when the glorious angel descended from heaven to roll the stone away from the tomb. This work of the angel was not to allow Jesus to escape, but to show that the tomb was empty (Christ needed not even the help of the angel, for He came forth from the grave by His own power as the seal of His atoning work on the cross) (Rom. 1:4). The open tomb and the angel sitting upon the stone with calm dignity, is a graphic picture of Christ's triumph over the devil, and the terror of the keepers is a sample of what all of Christ's enemies shall one day experience when He comes in glory to reign as King 2. The angels message to the women (vv. 57) (1) Fear not (v. 6) While the enemies had occasion to fear these women who loved the Lord reached good news from the empty tomb. The empty tomb puts an end forever to all doubts and fears. Let every teacher endeavor to show the greatness of the fact that the tomb was empty, for it shows that we have a living Christ. The resurrection of Christ should be the major theme of those who give out the Christian message. (2) "Come, see" (v. 6) The angel told the women that the Lord had risen and invited them to see the place where He has. The Lord made special effort to convince the disciples of the reality of His resurrection. He remained with them for forty days giving them many "infallible proofs" (3) "Go quickly" (v. 7). Having seen for themselves their responsibility was to go and tell the message. Experience is necessary before testimony. They were to go quickly to the disciples with the message, assured that the Lord would go before and meet them. II. The Risen Lord Meets the Women (vv. 810) The women quickly observed the command of the angel, and were running to bring word to the disciples Jesus met them on the way. Those who have an experimental knowledge of Christ should go speedily to tell others of it. When they saw Jesus—that He was really the Lord—they worshiped Him. III. Paying Money to Circulate a Lie (vv. 11-15). That Jesus arose from the dead could not be denied even by the Sanhedrin. They saw only one way out of the difficulty; that was to bribe the keepers to tell a lie. They had paid money for His betrayal—now they paid more money to circulate a lie about His resurrection. This shows the wonderful power that money has over the lives and consciences of men. It not only induces people to lie, but it even muzzles the months of some teachers and preachers. IV. The King's Great Commission (vv. 1620). 1. The royal authority (v. 18) By virtue of His divine authority, He issued this command to the disciples In order to prepare them for the reception of this command. He declared unto them that all power in heaven and earth had been given unto Illm. 2. The commission itself (vv. 19, 20). It consists of three parts (1) Go teach all nations. This is the first and primary business of the discipline. This command has been issued to all disciples by the risen and mighty Lord. (2) Baptize them in the name of the trinity God. Those who have become disciples of the Lord should receive the rite which signifies that relationship to Him. (3) Teach them to observe all of Christ's commandments (v. 20). Those who have become Christ's disciples should be taught conformity to His will. 3. The available power (v. 2) Those who offer Christ in carrying out this commission shall enjoy the abiding presence. Prayer is a golden key which should open the morning and look up the evening.—Bishop Hopkins Making Short Cuts There are plants of cuts across corners that one can make in life, in education, in business, in politics in religion. But there is really no short cut to any promised land—Edgar Whittaker Work, D. D. What lessons the sea teaches us it is calm like life at times, then stormy, also like life, causing shipwrecks. If we sail life's sea, we should have Jesus with us in the ship.—Morris Martin. BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue HOW JESUS MADE LEADERS OF HIS DISCIPLES Mott. 1:17, 5:18 20, 6:7, Acts 1:4-8 True leaders are twice born, they are born of Mothe, and they are born of God. After such a birth, we have the material out of which to make leaders. The character of the leader depends first, upon habituity secondly upon invictory. A man is part of his ancestry and becomes a part of the soil on which he walks, the society in which he moves, and of the schools in which he is taught Jesus made no mistake in the selection of the material out of which He made leaders. The advantages were: He selected the best the church had to offer, (as He does to-day) and the selected best had the best contact and teacher. Before they became leaders, they had been led and trained by the only perfect character. THOUGHTS The world still needs the type of leadership Jesus made. There is no hope of the followers without a leadership that can be trusted. Christ is making leaders today in the same old way. He never goes outside the church to get leaders. He does go outside to seek sinners, but he goes inside to get leaders. The heart of the true leader is never wrong, that's God's point. However, the head of the true leader may err. That's man's point. The Goal of true leadership is a perfect society. Sometimes however, the method of realizing that goal is questionable. St. Matthew C. M. E. Ch. REV. G. M. HAWKINS. PASTOR J. L.

His program for civic betterment, better homes, recreational centers, etc., for Negroes in Wirhita, are more than we slothful citizens ever realized could be acquired by the right approach. His work in the Arthur Gossett Post of the American Legion has been advantageous to numerous ex-doughboys and their families. Further, he has directly been responsible for a large number of colored boys and girls, staying in school and going into the field of higher education, and many returned to school because of his pleadings, and material efforts. We, who can speak of his work from experience, know if "Hutch" had done nothing but pat us on the back and say, "God bless, you Joseph," we would never have stayed in school, but by securing jobs, encouraging, securing loans, and loaning money from his own frugal funds, we were allowed to continue our education, and during his leisure time Mr. Hutcherson has devoted himself to one of the grandest wives God ever gave a man, and four fine little boys. It is nearly three months before "Hutch" departs from our midst, but it seems only a matter of a few days, so swiftly will the time fly.

"You cannot build a reputation on things you are going to do." "Yourself is made of what you do and what you say; but most of all of what you think. Yet we watch our words and our deeds far more carefully than our thoughts, "A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend." "A scientist declares that many an animal laugh. They could hardly help it if they observed people closely." "Good breeding is the result of much good sense, some good nature and a little self-darial for the sake of others." "Those who take no chances gener ally take what's left over bythose who do." WHO IS A CHRISTIAN? He is one who's life is built on love. On kindness and on faith; who holds his brother as his other self; who toils for justice, equity, and peace; and hides no aim or purpose in his heart that will not chord with universal good. — Federal Council Bulletin 6 6 6 Felieves Headache or Neuralgia in 30 minutes, checks a Cold the first day, and checks Telaria in three days. 604 ALSO IN TABLETS a hh > eS == SS
