Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT ARE WOMEN CALLED TO PREACH Syropist of Sermon Preached by Rev. R. N. Countee, S. T. D., At the -- Tabernaole Baptist Church, Wichita, Kansas, October 1st, 1901. VOL. III. a very large audience greeted Rev. Juntee, a. the above named house worship, to hear him discuss the object: "Are Women Called of God Preach." John the 8, chapter of the 32. verse was used as a text; he shall know the truth, and the in shall make you free." The Rev. stated that it was not purpose in taking a text to dis- it, but he desired to give his enters the truth of the Lord Jesus first on the Subject now under discussion. The following sub-heads are used: First: Preachers are Persons of Authority. In substanciation of the above the lowing scriptures were quoted, Tim. 5: 17 & 18 verses, Phillip- 2: 28—30, Thess. 5: 12. Second: Authority Always Given Men. Sen. 1: 26, Gen. 9: 2, 1st Tim. 2: 52. The Bible is recognized by all Evan- cal Christian bodies, as the only face of truth on all matter per- ning to the religion of Jesus est. We are to know the truth to be tree from notions and ideas do not in any way conform unto, admitting the two proposi- ses set forth, and without produce many further evidence we are sat- ed of the absurdity of the idea that God has given to any woman set of women the authority to south His Gospel. The preacher is called attention of the conduct Wright. the Queen, wife of Ahas- sess, who was deposed from her position as Queen because she re- ed to obey the order of the King, Esther 1: 9-10., also 1 Cor. 14:34. These references were used to show fidentially that God had delegated Mority always to men and never women. Hence, no woman can turn to be called of God to use the Mority He has always given to the. The first Teachers or Minis- we have any note of in the Word God were men, that belonged to drive of Levi, they were God' men ones, and officiated in all the mostly offices under the Mosaic Kingly dispensations. They preserved for their work; and Number 1: 47 also Numbers 8: Thus we have a full history of the early Priesthood and not a man among them, and at no time no place has God any where the Word taken the priestly of- fice from men and given it to women. Some claim woman's right to preach from the prophecy of Joel 2:30. But to prophecy, is not literally to preach, and neithe can we find in the Word where any prophetic women did preach. Women did valiant service for the Master, in all ages of the church's history through blood, fire and smoke they have stood up, but yet we do not find any of them preaching. Some claim that a woman preached the first Gospel ernon after the resurrection of Christ. See, Matthew 28: 5-10, Here a woman or a number were given a message to deliver to the disciples of Jesus, they did it, and you never heart tell of them any more So it is with most all the women, of whom personal mention is made in the Word of God. It is so of the woman of Samaria. John 4: 28—29, of Priscilla Acts 18: 26, In Acts 21: .9 Mere mention were made of the four Vlrgins, which did prophesy, but not one word of their prophecy is recorded in the Word of God. It is remarkably strange that these women should be lost sight of if God would have them as his ministers. If however I was entreated for a reason I would simply quote the text. "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." I would insist in your believing the scriptures already deduced and would then add this as one reason. For man is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man, 1, Cor. 11:17. And it seem to me a potent reason why there is so little mention made of her. Man has always been the glory of God, for in His image and likeness did He create him. Our third, and last division reads as fallows: Who Are To Preach? This interrogatory brings us back to the text, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make ye free," We are to suppose that all persons are seekers after truth, many do so without knowing just what the truth is: The most simple definition we can give you is this: Truth is a conclusion arrived at by a process of reasoning thus: 3 from 5 leaves 2, the result here is 2 and it is a truth every where through out he whole world. God's Word contains the truth as it relates to the plan of salvation, and it is universally accepted as such by all, of WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5 1901. the Evangelical Christian of every clime and Nation. Our women who want to be preachers, accept it, but try to explain away some of it when it fails to suit their purposes. When the Lord Jesus Christ had by Himself made an atonement for the sin of the world and through His own life, death and resurrection, had established His church He called, or met His disciples on Mount Olive, and gave to them the commision as recorded in Matthews xxviii, 19 20 Notice in this commission He says "Teach them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." Here is given authority and notice no record is given of any women being present. Now we know that a large numer of women were among the followers of Jesus Christ, but not one of them aae here given any part in the commission. Jesus Himself, here follows the cours persued all through the Bible, ging authoritty to men, as is recorded in Gen. i:26. He also follows the course laid down so far as sex is concerned in the Priesthood of the Levites. Finally, we ask you to read with us first Tsmothy iii : 1 - 13, inclusive; observing in this reading, the pronouns he and his, and any honest seeker after truth will be fully convinced from the testimony of the witnesses I have introduced from the the book of Genesis to Timothy and the conduct of Jesus Himself who gave the commission to men alone. When the Apostels were assembled at Jerusalem, waiting for the promise of the Spirit, they assayed to fill the vacancy among them which had been made by the transgression of Judas, and if any one of them dared to suggest a woman, the Holy Spirit did not allow them to record it. Much more could be said on this subject, but we feel that enough has been said to convince any honest Christian man or woman that the God of all the world has not as yet made any change in his dealings with the members of the human family. In the closing prophecy of the Old Testament Scriptures He says; "I am the Lord I change not" Mal. 3: 6. When God Himself changes, when he will send as another revelation of His truth, when he shall put the women in authority over the man, then and not till then cna we accept the fanaticism of women being called of God to Preach. Settling in Northwest Territory. Canada is now the only country in the world offering free land to home seekers of limited means. Fifty thousand immigrants are each year entering her ports, and 75 per cent of these people go at once to the Northwest territory. Race Thought. The path to our truest and richest experiences often lies through the furnace of affliction. The most distressing physical suffering not unfrequently develops the most perfect Christian characters. To many, the most precious blessings of life have come wafted on the wings of some sad affliction. "Beheld happy is the man whom the Lord correcteth." At the Hampton, (Va.) Negro Conference Booker T. Washington said: "The Colored people are to much urged to pay for their coffins. I have known many who have paid for their coffins ten times over in ten years. These burial societies are doing a vast deal of harm. We must teach our people that one bath tub is worth ten coffins." Remember that the dark hours of life only intensify the luster of the brighter ones. The society girls are glad that they soon will be done dodging the sun to keep the freckels off. There are two kind of jokers. One makes you ache with laughter, and the other only makes you ache. We live by faith, not by sight, Faith penetrates the dim mists that enshroud us here, letting in the light of the great unseen. The trouble with the Negroes today is, they are trusting Congress for better times instead of trusting he Lord and each other. Tna life of a true Christian is a constant demonstration of the fact that "the path of the just is as a shining light, shining more and more unto the perfect day." The prosperity of the South is dependent upon the education and elevation of the Negro. The study of fencing by women is on the increase. A strong and supple wrist is likely to come in handy whe domestic discipline reduces the switching of a small boy. A few years ago Phoenix, Arizona, the centre of the Salt River Valley, was a sagebrush desert. It now has 25,000 inhabitants, with an assessed property valuation of $10,000,000. All this is due to the introduction of water, which brought in canals from distant streams, has turned the desert into a fertile valley, covered with ranches and dotted with small towns. The time must come—and it can not be long distant—when ten days will be sufficient to land passengers in Asia, or a total of two weeks between New York and Manila. This is only 600 or 700 miles a day, and while that speed could not be maintained except at great expense, the demand of Asia-bond travel will soon warrant the outlay. Farm life has lost many of its hard features and its attractions, comforts and opportunities have been immensely improved. It is not strange that in many of our States a movement from the cities and towns to the farms is beginning to counteract the trends from the farms to the centres of population, which in many parts of the United States, has gone so steadily for a long time with evil results to both the rural district and our cities. There is great hope for our country in the increase attractiveness of farm life. Let Politics Alone. Let the colored man stop raising so much fuss about political prestige Property and education has always ruled. The white man would be a fool to let us govern what we do not own. We do not expect to boss the white man's big plantation. We concede to him the right to boss and regulate it himself because he owns it. Even so we have to concede to him the rights to govern the States because he is ahead in wealth and property. Let the Nrgro stop sleeping until 9 o'clock in the morning, get down out of his little shanty and go to work and get something to govern. When we are property holders and intelligent men and women we expect and ought to have a hand in the affairs of the States and nation. Wealth and learning are the commonsense liberators.— What Foreigners Do. Everybody who comes here from the end of the earth, whatever may be their ignorance, poverty, language, viciousness, degradation disloyalty, inclination to treason, Sabbath desecrators, larger beer guzzlers, in short anything that has a white face, who see fit to come to this country, is lifted to the sublime heights of citizenship and clothed with every right, civil and political, and is acknowledge to be the equal of any governor, any congressman and any dignitary in the land. But the colored man who has been here, through his ancestors, for three hundred yeors and has been loyal to every institution the nation has, is set aside, ignored, despised, hung burned, shot, ruled out of respectable employment, and made a football of, and his vesy humanity is questioned, while the foreigners can shoot down our president. God curse and even damn such a rotten and inconsistent nation as this. Subscribe NOW! For The SEARCHLIGHT. Entered at the Post-Office at Wichita Kansas, as Second Class Mail Matter.

PARKER, The Negro who first struck Czolgosz, the assassin, after the assassin had shot President McKinley. The big sugar refining companies are fighting each other fiercely and prices are being cut right and left It is not likely that the fight will be carried to the bitter end. The Chicago police prevented the anarchist meeting at which Emma Goldman was to deliver her speech that inspired Czolgosz. As a consequence the Chicago anarchist are probably in a better state of preservation than they would otherwise be. The man who composed "Home, Sweet Home," never had a home. The man who composed " On the Banks of the Wabash" never had a bank. The man who composed " Baby Mine" never had a mine. The man who—but probably we have carried this far enough. McKinley and the South. General John B. Gordon of Georgia, as grand commander of the Confederate Veterons, has suggested that a monument be erected to the memory of Wm.McKinley at Atlanta, because of the dead President's love for the South and expressions of high regard for the Confederate dead General Gordon is right. Let the monument be erected at Atlanta. No President since Ruthford BHayes went further than President McKinley in seeking to heal the wounds left by the wer of the Rebellion, He met the Southern white man more than halfway. He showed kind words and offices upon him—which was repaid by a Solid South for Bryan and free silver and a lot of newspaper flapdoodle. But President McKinley had a kind heart and he meant well in his con- The A. M. E. Conference for 1902 will meet with St. Paul A. M. E.

We would be the last one to provoke or keep alive causes of national discontent and sectional alienation, if there were not substantial ground for doing so; but the sad fact that the whites of the South have systematically striven to destroy the fruits of the War of Rebellion; they have accepted everything except the equality of the Afro-Americans un the law. They have gone about the business of destroying the civil and political rights of Afro - Americans with a cunning and diabolicalism which would have done credit to Macbiavelli. MRS.

The Negro In I deam it unnecessary to enter in to this discussion as to which is the best place for the Negro it is an established discussion as to which is the best place for the Negro. What avenues are opened to the Negroes in the north? This question can only be answered by the use of one phrase, the avenue for pervants, The Negro that leaves the South and goes North can only be employed as a bell boy, waiter, a cook or a house maid. Even the drudgery work is done by foreigners. You see no Nogro hackmen, draymen or street men. If he isn't employed as a servant he has to loaf the streets because all other occupations are closed against him. The white men of the North form unions to keep out the Negro carpenter, brick ma on and indeed unions are formed to keep him out of every avenue. It is only a question of time when the avenues for servents will be closed against him. We can see it dawning now. The foreigner from Ireland and Scotland coming over here with their scales of low wages have already knocked the Negro from his past position in the North. The Negro's home in the South. Soon after emancipation the Negro instead of staying South and developing his opportunities, wish to side with the pessimist, who does not hope that tomorrow's sun may Master Thief—"What you so glum about?

LONDON shine, but only remembered that yesterday was cloudy. Had he remained in the South and been industrious and economical he would have by this time owned half of the South; but no he decided to go North, and you find him not one step further in advancement; If anything he is the worst off. My opponents no doubt will say the Negro is being disfranchise in the South. I heartily oo-operate with that law, because the Negro see clearly the necessity of educating their children. There are more Negro children in school since we are suffering from disframent than ever before. God suffers this to be so as to arouse the Negro to his sense of duty. They may say we have the jim crow car. True enough, but all these wrongs will eventually work out for the bet terment of the Negroes. Let me take my opponents to a flying trip to Richmond Va. and show them a bank owned and controlled by Negroes. Also connected with this same department is a real estate office.

Visit, if you please, Montgomery, Huntsville, and many other cities of the South and there you will find dry good stores, grocery stores, millinery and shoe stores and many others which I deem unnecessary to mention.

How many consuls and ministers have been selected from the North? A loud shout is heard None Now to speak from and education al standpoint, how many from the North can cope with the lamented J. C.

For what do you of the North educate your children? Simply to sit down or rush South to drive us out of our employment. Take for an instance Chicago; only 11 Negro teachers Cleveland, Ohio, 7, and New York City not more than 6-er such a few compared with the great army of Negro teachers in the South. You boast of your privileges in the North. Yes there are two avenues opened to you, but they are avenues of which we of the South decline to enter. You may go to the opera house and sit side by side with the fairest white woman of the North, (of course every avenue for spending money stands ajar) but the avenues for making money to tpend is closed against you, except in a menial capacity. Had we not rather be here in the South where every avenue is opened to the Negro if he would only prepare himself? Here we are permitted to earn a dollar by any occupation known to man. We have avenues for druggists, physicians, dentists, carpenters, blacksmiths, brick masons, banks, and in fact any occupation that makes a man, "a man for tnat and at at."

MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY WAS THE LIVELIEST SUNDAY. All Saloons And Both Theaters In Full Operation. SET A TRAP FOR GRAFTERS. Wichita, Oct. 2.—Last Sunday was the liveliest Sunday in Wichita in many a year. One item of excitement was the opening of the saloons on Sunday; another the arrest of the managers of the local theaters for permitting Sunday performances. The managers of Wichita's two opera houses—Colonel H. G. Toler of the Auditorium, and Mr. Martling of the Crawford—were arrested for violating the Sabbath ordinance by giving plays in their houses. Colonel Toler put up $100 cash bond for his appearance before the police judge next week, while Mr. Martling paid a fine. The arrests were quite sensational. Chief of police Burt says if any opera house opens next Sunday night, or any other Sunday night, he will not only arrest the manager but the players, door-keepers, peanut sellers, program passers, "supes," ticket sellers and orchestra as well. The saloons were open. The chief of police said he caused the saloons to be opened to serve as a trap for regiment of grafters who had been working in Wellington during the wheat jubilee there. He said: "I caught sixteen common pick-pockets and thieves and four of the smoothest rascals in the United States. They are now in the city jail behind the bars. Had I not opened the saloons to let them into where I could trap them, I could not have caught one fourth of them. I am not at liberty to say how the opening of the saloons would enable me to catch them, but you and every man knows Wichita and the methods and haunts of the criminal classes, understand it." Mayor McLain upon being told that there was quite a protest against his allowing the saloons to open on Sunday, said: "I didn't let them run. When I heard that they were open and doing business I had them closed. No saloons can run in this town on Sundays." A Long Euchre Game. Wichita, Oct. 5.—William Crimble of Geuda Springs while here met a Choctaw Indian he had not seen since 1861-40 years. The Indian, who is civilized, came up behind him and whispered in his ear: "Bill, let's finish the game of euchre." It seems they were playing a game in 1861 when they were disturbed, and have not met since until this event. Mr. Crimble accommodated his Indian friend. They began just where they left off, and Mr. Crimble skinned him in that and three other games in succession. Wisconsin Tobacco. Sun Prairie, Wis., Oct. 4.—Six car loads of Dane county tobacco were shipped to Berlin, Germany, by Barnard & Wilder, dealers of this place, to D. Brennan & Co., tobaccoists to Emperor William. A small shipment of the Wisconsin weed was sent to Germany last year and it proved so popular with the royal customer that another lot was ordered this year. Texas Cotton Crop Short Austin, Tex., Oct. 4.—Agricultural Commissioner Johns states that in his opinion the Texas cotton crop this year will fall short at least 800,000 bales from the crop of last year. It is estimated that the crop this year will not exceed 2,335,000 bales, on account of the boil weevil and extensive drouth in parts of the state. A Gymnasium Fire Lawrence, Kans., Oct. 1.—The gymnasium of the city Y. M. C. A. burned and the loss will amount to about $4,500 with $2,000 insurance. The building was used as an armory by Company H. of the Kansas militia, and all their guns, together with 5,000 rounds of ammunition, were destroyed. The fire set the ammunition off, but luckily no one was seriously hurt. The gymnasium was well equipped with the usual appliances, and there was a first-class bath and swimming pool in the building. Boer Prisoners Enlist. London, Oct. 3.—A dispatch to the London Times from Colombo says that Sir Joseph West Ridgeway, the Governor of the island, has announced that 200 of the Boer prisoners in Ceylon have expressed their willingness to take the oath of allegiance to King Edward. The prisoners not only desire to take the oath, but also wish to enlist in the British army. They are willing to serve anywhere except South Africa. To Open More Reservations. Washington, Oct. 5.—The interior department is rapidly completing plans for the opening of the Fort Hall, Id., Indian reservation. The date for the opening has not yet been fixed, but it is expected that the reservation, which contains 400,000 acres, will be thrown open to settlement within a few weeks. The Quinault reservation, in Washington, comprising 300,000 acres, probably will be thrown open to settlement next spring. The contract for surveying is about to be awarded. HARD LINES FOR MINERS. Interior Department Holds up all Mineral Leases in Creek Nation. Washington, Oct. 3.—The Interior Department has handed down a decision holding up all mineral leases in the Creek Nation thus far negotiated. The decision is a severe blow to capitalists in St. Louis and other western cities who have invested large sums of money in the development of oil and coal fields in the Nation. Prior to the enactment of the Creek treaty oil and coal leases had been secured and large sums of money spent in developing coal and oil properties. A number of valuable coal mines are now in operation in the vicinity of Red Fork, and oil wells are being sunk in the same locality. The operations at present are going on under contracts made with members of the nation who have made their selections. These selections, however, have not been approved by the Dawes commission, and probably will not be for six months to come. Patents to the allottees will be issued some time within the next year, but until this occurs no individual leases for the mining of coal and oil are of any validity whatever. The Government's Side of Story. London, Oct. 4.—"We learn on very high authority," says the Daily Chronicle, "that a sudden and complete collapse of Boer resistance and the speedy termination of the war with South Africa are anticipated. The attacks on Forts Italia and Meodwill and other recent engagements are regarded as the last desperate efforts of men who are wearied by the struggle and tired of being hunted. "Therefore, beyond sending drafts to compensate for losses by casualties and disease, there is no intention to dispatch further reinforcements or to employ Indian troops for guarding the lines of communication." Filipino Official Arrested. Manila, Oct. 1.—Juan Cardona, who, until recently, was president of Genona, province of Tarlac, and who was appointed secretary of the Tarlac provincial government, has been arrested on the charge of accusing people of crimes for the purpose of extorting money from them. More than fifty persons assert that they have been robbed by him in this way, some declaring they have even surrendered title deeds to property. Cardona has been considered one of the most reliable natives holding pro-American views. An examination of his records, however, shows that for several years he was a bandit and that he served two terms of imprisonment aggregating five years. American Divorces Don't go. Toronto. Ont., Oct. 5.—An important verdict touching upon the divorce law was given in criminal sessions when the jury found Minnie G. Woods guilty of bigamy. The accused was legally divorced according to the Michigan law and remarried in Canada. The judge charged against the prisoner and told the jury that American divorces did not hold good in Canada. Secretary Ryan Coming. Washington, D. C., Oct. 5.—Judge Thomas Ryan, assistant secretary of the interior will leave in a few days for an extended western tour. Mr. Ryan will spend some time at his home in Topeka and then visit the various Indians schools and reservations in the southwest. Kitchener Would Hang Them. London, Oct. 5.—The Daily Express publishes a report that Lord Kitchener has asked for 25,000 more seasoned mounted men and for power to hang rebels, traitors and murderers without reference to the home government. Kansas at St. Louis Topeka, Oct. 3.—The Kansas commissioners to the St. Louis exposition, recently appointed by Governor Stanley, held their first meeting and organized. Officers were elected as follows: President, Senator J. C. Carpenter; vice president, Senator Cal Morrow; secretary Charles Luling; treasurer, Senator Simons; transportation manager, Will Waggener, who will attend to passes. The commissioners went from here to St. Louis. Another Race Called off. New York, Oct. 3. —The attempt to sail the second of the present series of international yacht races for the blue ribbon of the sea proved a dismal failure. Between 25,000 and 30,000 people who crowded the pleasure fleet off Sandy Hook lightship in the hope of seeing a repetition of the thrilling sport witnessed instead more of a drifting match than a race. The wind was exceedingly light and variable, and at time a complete calm. The Shamrock had the better of what sailing was done. Sentenced by Illegal Court. Topeka, Cet. 5.—An application was filed in the supreme court for the release of J. D. Norton from the penitentiary on a writ of habeas corpus He was tried in the Cherokee-Crawford court of common pleas for killing the city mrrsal of Galena two years ago. Shortly after his sentence the supreme court rendered an opinion in another case holding that the law creating the common pleas court was unconstitutional. The court then went out of existence.

Mosquito Plague at Paris. Paris is also face to face with the mosquito plague. Many cases of severe fever have been traced to their influence. Truth mentions that up to 1879 this insect was not to be found near the French capital. They were probably introduced, according to that authority, in the roots of the tropical plants sent from Africa to the exhibition of 1889. Tesla's Wireless Telegraph Station. Nikola Tesla is about to establish his first wireless telegraph station at Wardenlyffe, nine miles from Port Jefferson, L. I. Two hundred acres of land have been purchased and the necessary buildings will be put up at once. The main building will contain a 350 horsepower electric plant. This will be the first of a chain of stations by means of which Tesla expects to communicate with all parts of the world. She Was On. "Nobody can learn all there is worth knowing in a lifetime," said Mr. Mylde, wisely. "And," he continued, "a man ought never to assume that his education is finished. I'm going to keep ahead with mine; I'm going to study astronomy." His wife looked at him sharply, and then in a cold, hard tone exclaimed: "John Henry, you'll have to think of some better excuse than that for staying out at night."—Tid-Bits. A FEARLESS PHYSICIAN Benton, Ill., Sept. 30th.—Much comment has been caused by the action of Dr. R. H. Dunaway, a physician here, who for over a year past has been recommending Dodd's Kidney Pills to those of his pauents who suffered from Rheumatism, Bright's Disease, Diabetes or other Kidney Troubles. Dr. Dunaway also published an open letter last May stating positively that he himself had been cured of Diabetes by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and that, after he had concluded he was going to die. He is a well man today and says he feels it his duty to do as he has done and is doing because Dodd's Kidney Pills saved his life.
