PR BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION OPENED TUESDAY MORNING AT METROPOLITAN TEMPLE] A. B. PRESIDING BOYS AND GIRLS MUST BE SAVED. MRS. GAINES DECLARES BEFORE NEGRO WOMEN'S CONVENTION. With Schools and Churches She Says There is no Excuse for so Many Young People Failing—The Young Woman's Place in the Religious World. "If the Negro is saved the woman must play an important part," declared Mrs. Emma Gaines of Topeka, Kansas, president of the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission convention, which opened in the Metropolitan Baptist church, Ninth street and Washington boulevard. Negro Baptists are in the city from all parts of the state attending the annual convention, which opened this morning and will be in session until Saturday night. The women are considered the advance guards. They will be in session two days and the convention will open Thursday. Mrs. L. A. Wilson of Kansas City, Mrs. D. W. Elias and Mrs. Susie Weir of Weir, Kansas, conducted the opening. "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?" was the opening hymn. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Mrs. H. D. Scott, Mrs. Frances Morris and Mrs. J. T. Taylor. Mrs. J. W. Goins of Iola responded. Rev. J. R. Richardson, pastor of Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, delivered the opening sermon from the text, "And He said, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark, 16:15. "The World Wide Mission." The sermon was practical and full of information. "I am glad to see so many present," said Mrs. Goins, "because women must play an imprint part in the saving of the race. She has the making of the home the training of the future men and women. We have charge of the boys and girls. We shape their lives and should be very careful. See to it that they are kept from the street and in school. We shall touch many phases of our home life this week. This afternoon Mrs. Goins delivered her annual address as president and was elected for another year. Rev. J. W. Hays of Leavenworth will preach tonight and Mrs. A. G. Eskridge will deliver an address. WEDNESDAY'S SESSION. "Our boys and girls must be saved," declared Mrs. Emma Gaines, of Topeka, Kas., in calling to order the second day's session of the Baptist Women's Home and Foreign Mission convention in the Metropolitan Baptist church Washington boulevard and Ninth street. "With the school opened everywhere, good teachers, and then the Sunday school and church extending an open door to all the children there is no excuse for so many of our young people falling. They must have better home attention. The women who are mothers must have less society and more home life. You cannot as women stay in the street all the time trying to look after other people's affairs and attend to your own. Something must be neglected. Reforms of all kind must start at home. "I realize that in many homes the woman is the bread winner. She builds the cottages, the churches, educates sons and daughters and often has to support a worthless husband. No woman can look after her children, who must leave home at 5 and 6 o'clock in the morning, and be gone all day. You see the only training the children of that home get is in the school room. Men must be men, and those with children should put their wives in charge of such homes. I am not abusing any one, but it strikes me that these plain things must be said to our people." "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood," was used to open the convention Wednesday led by Mrs. Alice Gibson, of Abilene and Miss S. M. Tillasce. This was followed by the study of the Bible by Mrs. F. B. Wats REGISTER IF ITION OPENED TUESDAY (OPOLITAN TEMPLE] SIONS. REV. W. A. BOWEN RESIDING son, a graduate from the National Training school, and one of the leading Bible and missionary workers in the Baptist church. "It is necessary that we should know the word of God, because it is our guide, and teaches us not only how to prepare for heaven but how to live down here as well. I have always found it soul-refreshing, and it has helped me these many years. Some day I hope to be permitted to go to Africa and teach our people over there." "The Young Woman's Place in the Religious World," was the theme discussed by Miss G. Solomon, of Topeka. She said that the young woman had an important place in the religious world, because of the many avenues opened which carried young people to destruction. In strong language she condemned the modern dance and the dance halls where the young people met, and were carried down. She knew of nothing more destructive to humanity than the modern dance, and it was high time to call a halt, and command right about face. Mrs. A. P. Marc Fultz, of Kansas City, Kas., delivered an address on the Christian Training in the Home." "It is just as necessary to have christian training in our homes," she said "as any other kind of training," and to me it is a source of pleasure to address you this morning on this all important subject. There are many agencies at work training our young people, the B. Y. P. U., the Sunday school and the missionary circles. "The first impression of the principles of Christianity should be made on our boys and girls in the sacred place, home where two hearts beat as one in love. This is important, and let me here say in this connection, that he who would teach must first himself be taught, and it is under these principles that we hope to establish Christian homes. The Bible and other good books should be used." Mrs. Fultz made a home complete and put into it Christian parents and then traced the life of the children of such a home from the cradle to useful manhood and womanhood. The address was punctuated with outbursts of applauses. Prof. Inman E. Page, president of Western College, Macon, Mo., was introduced to the convention and extended courtesies. He is booked for a special address. The convention was all but turned into a revival. Thirty women after a short talk by Mrs. Gaines, pledged to consecrate their lives to God and to help to reach the unreached. "We are willing to go anywhere the Lord will have us go and where no one else wants to go," was the declaration made by the women. Rev G. N. Jackson made a short talk and closed with a prayer. Civilization Not a Garment to Be Purchased and Worn at First Fitting, Save State Budget President Says State Baptist President. "The negro must win his way to civilization as other races have done, and he must learn that civilization is not a garment to be purchased at one of the city stores and worn off at first fitting," was the declaration made by the Rev. Dr. W. A. Bowren, of Kansas City, Kas., in calling to order the twenty-fifth annual session of the Kansas Baptist State convention of which he is president. The state convention opened this morning presided over by the Rev. Dr. W. A. Bowren, of Kansas City. Revs. J. C. Rodgers, moderator of Southwestern District Association, and Robert Cox, moderator of Smoky Hill District Association conducted devotional services. Welcome addresses were delivered at 10:30 by Mayor C. W. Green, Rev. D. B. Jackson, Rev. Dr. Earl, of the White Baptist church; Rev. G. N. Jackson, Rev. Allen Hutchman responded. Dr. Bowren said he observed a great future for his people in the United States and urged them to prepare for it. He expressed regrets that the Rev. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, OCTOBER 6, 1916. REV. W. A. BOWREN, A.B., PRESIDENT STATE BAPTIST CONVENTION AND PASTOR OF FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF THIS CITY. Dr. C. G. Fishback, one of the most active men in the convention had been called out of the state and in the future would be in Cleveland, Ohio. "Wherever there is a well prepared man, the country is seeking him, and he is constantly receiving new offers. We must turn our attention to the little things of life and cannot afford to sit around and complain because complaints and wallings never yet accomplished anything and never will. Stopping to quarrel with the stick which trips you up will never help you on your journey. You must move the stick out of the way. Get busy as a race and you will be able to do great things. The negro must win his way to civilization as other race have done, and he must learn that civilization is not a garment to be purchased at some downtown store and worn off on first fitting, but represents years of toil." "Power of the Gospel," the devotional theme conducted by the Rev. J. C. Rodgers, moderator of the Southwest district association, and Rev. Robert Cox, moderator of the Smoky Hill district association. Representing the colored Baptists at 10 o'clock this morning, Rev. D. B. Jackson delivered an address of welcome. The Rev. Dr. Early spoke for the white Baptists. They were made welcome to the district by Rev. G. N. Jackson. Rev. Allen Hutchman responded to the addresses. Among the visitors introduced were Prof. Inman E. Page, president of Western college, Macon, Mo.; E. M. Cohron, D.D., superintendent of missions for Missouri; Charles Stewart, A.M., D.D., general missionary for the National Baptist convention; O. T. Redd, Kansas City, Mo.; Rev. B. Alard Smith, D.D., Colorado Springs, Colo.; J. R. Ransom, D.D. pastor of the A. M. E. church. Rev. S. D. Butler. D.D., of Wichita, Kas., preached the closing sermon to the women's convention last night. Rev. W. P. Banks, of Salina, Kas., preached the opening annual sermon this afternoon.

Dr. Holmes is Baptist Temple where the Baptist conceded to be the greatest church State Convention is now in session, builder in the Baptist connection. at the corner of Washington boule- vention this morning in the Metropolitan Baptist church, Washington boulevard and Ninth street by Revs. W. R. Shannon, of Edwardsville and W. C. Garrett, of Iola. "Kansas is full of opportunities for all people," declared the Rev. Dr. W. A. Bowen, president, in calling the convention to order, "and as a race if we fail in the state we are to blame ourselves. We are not going to fail, because I can see a great future for us as a people. I look over the work of our convention the past year, note the work being done in our nineteen mission stations that we are helping, and the number being added to our church, I can but join with the Psalmist in saying 'The Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad.' "Our work is in flourishing condition all through the state. We have had the encouragement and help from some of the best white people in Kansas, and they are all anxious to see us succeed. We are reaching out after that element of our race that we cannot get to church. They are ours and we must try to save them, and if they go down we will be responsible for them. It is up to us to save them, to send to them the gospel just like we are sending it to Africa and other mission points. We are going to contribute largely to our foreign mission work and then we are going to double our contribution to our home mission work in the future. "I want to call your attention to our old folks and ministers' home in Lawrence. We need about $500 to put some repairs on it and the amount must be raised this week in addition to the $1,700 that we need for the general work. 'Our people must help themselves. We have no time to talk about other people, but the negro must think for himself, work for himself. We must see to the Christian training of his young people. The public schools are doing their part, put there is something for us to do and we must do it and do it well. In this you will find many white friends who will help you, but you must depend upon yourself." Dr. Bowren spoke of the National Baptist convention the largest and most aggressive religious organization in the country among negroes. He said (Continued on Page 3.)

CHARLES STEWART OF CHICAGO, PRESS REPORTER AT BAPTIST STATE CONFERENCE—AD- DRESSED SUMNER HIGH. The Hon. Charles Stewart of Chicago, a member of the Press Association and one of the most well-known men in the country, is here reporting the State Baptist Convention. Mr. Stewart is on the go all the time. Last week he reported the Kansas A. M. E. Conference at Wichita, and next week he will be at Houston, Texas, in a like convention that is here this week. Dr. Stewart is a fine story writer and a platform lecturer. He made an address to the students of Sumner High school Wednesday at 11:30 a. m. in the auditorium. 'POTATO KING' GROVES GLOWING WITH SMILES MANY HAVE PURCHASED HOMES IN THE LAST WEEK. Mr. J. G. Groves, of Edwardsville, was met this week on the avenue by an Advocate representative and the Potato King was glowing with smiles. The cause of these smiles, which were frowns some two weeks ago, when met by this same representative, when asked as to how our people were taking hold of his country home land offer his reply was, "Disgusting. I don't understand why our people will not take hold of the things that are worth while and mean so much to them." Mr. Groves was very much discouraged at that time, as he had cut up part of his fine farm into small tracts of from 1 to 20 acres, to let his people have it at a sacrifice, that they might get a nice country home where they could make a nice living and live at their ease. It was discouraging after a man had made such a sacrifice for his people and then turn it down, but let us see what has happened in the past week or so, as the Groves farm. Mr. Groves stated when talked with this week that in the past ten days he had disposed of more of these home tracts than he had in nearly the whole time they had been put on the market a year ago, and if it keeps up like it has in the last few days every piece will he taken. Some who have purchased are getting ready to build this fall while others will build in early spring. Mr. Groves was feeling remarkably good over the thing that had been on his mind and heart so long in helping his race to get homes of their own and make the home pay for itself. We would advise those who are looking for a nice country home on the best of terms to see or write Mr. Groves at once, as he stated to The Advocate representative he was disposing of the tracts daily. DR. J. R. RANSOM RETURNED TO FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH FOR FIFTH YEAR. Rev. J. R. Ransom, one of the biggest men in the Kansas Conference, was returned to the First A. M.

Dr. Ransom is one of the most popular clergymen in the west and a power in the pulpit. The church here voted unanimously for his return for the fifth time and while other churches of much larger inducements, wanted him, his desire was to remain in his old conference. The doctor says he will complete the church and parsonage this year, which has been his sole ambition since it was started.

BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION. that in Savannah, Ga., last month he saw more negroes than he had ever seen in his life at any one meeting, and 10,000 people heard the annual address of President Morris, delivered from the portico of the First African Baptist church. The people assembled in the street and the playground just in front of the church. He reviewed the work of each board, the Foreign Mission Board, Philadelphia, Rev. L. G. Jordan, secretary; Home Mission Board, Little Rock, Ark., Dr. Joseph A. Booker, secretary; Educational Board, Memphis, Tenn., Dr. A. R. Griggs, secretary; Publication Board, Nashville, Tenn., Rev. A. D. Haynes, secretary; Benefit Board, Helena, Ark., Rev. J. M. Washington, secretary. The address was full of information concerning the work. Rev. E. T. Fishback, of Wichita, conducted a Bible institute this morning. He is a graduate from the State University, Louisville, and one of the best trained young men in the convention. In speaking of the Bible, Dr. Fishback declared that it was a handbook of right living for the individual, and for society a chart of universal progress, its theme was men, his nature, duty and destiny, God and how his skill and wisdom for guidance was inflected toward all helpful love. "Looking backwards to the dawn of history," he said "this book asserts that God fitted up the world house as no cradle was ever adorned for princess' child, that his thoughts were organized into laws that think for him, and His love crystalized into physical forces that serve his children. Looking forward to death and beyond, it asserts that man carries two world's in his heart, and like the biennial plant needs a second summer for flower and fruitage. "Where will you find a book that will take its place. It is a man-making and a man-mending book; it's the father's book, the mother's book, the poor man's book, the rich man's book, the child's book, a book of medicine for the heart sick, a veritable chest of remedies, a magazine of kindness, but he who stored it with these treasures knew society's need. In life's critical hour, Sir Walter Scott said to his nurse, 'bring me the book,' and when asked what book, he exclaimed, 'There is but one book, bring me the Bible.' Surely the book we want under our pillow when dying is- the one we should have in our hand while living." The convention then turned attention to the study of the Bible. Prof. Inman E. Page, one of the most noted negro educators in the United States, was introduced to the convention after the reading of the journal, and made a short talk, commending the work being done by the Baptists of Kansas, and referred to the work in Missouri. Prof. Page, has just taken hold of the Western college in Macon, Mo., which promises to be one of the leading institutions in the country for the training of negroes. He will speak tonight at the Educational mass meeting. The report of the executive board was read by the Rev. Dr. C. G. Fishback, who will retire from the position of corresponding secretary, he having accepted a large charge in Cleveland, Ohio. In his report, he said good bye to the convention and the Baptists of Kansas, but assured them that he would ever be interested in the work and would come to the state whenever possible. He left the state with a heart flowing with love for every man, woman and child. Rev. George McNeal, D.D., flayed Editor Nick Chiles of the Topeka Plaindealer, declaring that the editor had been abusive to the Baptists of the country, especially the National Baptist convention, making unwarranted and untrue statements. "The Baptists of Kansas form a part of the National Baptist convention which met in Savannah, and we are not going to support Editor Chiles to abuse us." Dr. McNeal did not place the editor with the children of God. "Look not upon the wine cup when it is red," was the text used for the temperance sermon by Rev. N. J. Stokes, of Pratt. The speaker declared that whiskey drinking was a curse not alone to the Christian but to humanity. He said that the preacher who used it was a disgrace to the devil. Tilford Davis, of Kansas City, a negro poet and mail carrier was introduced to the convention, and rendered several original selections. He was pleased with the progress being made by the Baptists of his state. The afternoon session was spent in hearing reports and general routine business. The annual missionary sermon was preached by Dr. W. R. Carter, of 'Topeka. "Education," will be discussed tonight. The Rev. Dr. T. L. Griffith, president of the Western convention, will preach the educational sermon, and addresses will be delivered by Rev. W. R. Carter, and Prof. Inman E. Page. Mrs. Emma Gaines will also speak.

That noted and historic city of Wichita, Kas., which only a few days ago was a small town and today ranks second in size in the Sunflower state, looks good to soon take away the honor from the present metropolis. It’s not only growing in magnitude of area and number, but it’s keeping pace with our leading cities of the country in modern architecture of substantial character and beauty. The sanitary condition of this beautiful, level city is far above the average. Its wide streets and thoroughfares are kept clean and sweet. The people who re- side there, regardless of creed or race live like real neignbors and pull to- gether as one great family. The chief executive of this happy and peaceful city, Mayor Bently, is a man whom everyone loves and admires. A man whose ideas are his neighbors. A man who is mayor of all the people, and one cannot hear anything but praise for him, A man like this is compelled to go higher and the people will only kave to be given an opportunity to do so, whether it’s his townspeople, state or nation. Wichita has about seventy-five thou- sand inhabitants, of which six thou- sand are colored citizens and it can be said with pride and honor they have been keeping abreast with the city’s growth and advancement along progressive lines, Many own beautiful homes of modern structure, besides other real estate, fine churches and schools of the higlrest standard govern- ed and taught by efficient instructors. The representation in municipal af- fairs shows that spirit of sociability and fairness to all of its citizens. ‘They have four colored policemen, po- Nice clerk, assistant city physician and a number of other minor positions. As to professional men, there are five doctors, one dentist and one lawyer and all are doing well, the most of them having cars. There are not so many in commercial business, but those who are, show prosperity. YY. W. C. A. NOTES. ‘The Yates Branch Y. W. C. A. is sill affiliated with the National Board of Young Women's Christian Associa- tions. For the benefit of those who are not clear on the matter, we wish to etate that the person now trying to fill the secretary’s position is doing so yeluntarily, We have NO workers at present who are receiving pay of any sort. Mrs. Day, president of the What-so- ever club, wishes to meet the mem- bers at the Y every first and third Friday afternoon in the month. The Utility club held its regular meeting Monday afternoon, The gymnasium classes are now epen for registration. We hope to see all the old members and many new enes. There are three classes—one for adults, one for young girls, and one for children. What do you do on Sunday evenings from 5 to 6? Why not attend the ves- per services at the Y? We need each other. Give your body one hour's system- atic attention every week. Join the aym classes. Do you wish to learn to swim? Call us up for information. We are going to form a cross-coun- try hiking club. Come along, will you? J. G. OLIVER—UNDERTAKER. There has been but few business firms started in the city that has gone to the front, as rapidly as the under-| taking firm of Mr. Oliver who has only been in business a few months. ‘Mr. Oliver has had some of the finest tummouts and his method of taking cae of his funcrals has been of the highest order. - Prof. John S, Cannon, the late asso- ciate with Mr. Oliver, will be a big asset to the business ahd it would not be surprising to see this firm in a moderate length of time’ become one of the largest in the Middle West. They have a fine parlor and show rooms at 415 Minnesota avenue, where calls are received night and day and they are prepared for auto or horse- drawn funerals.
