KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE TWELVE MONTHS $1.50 DR. ADAMS COMES IN FOR A NEEDED REST A NOTED EVANGELIST AND DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN WEL- COMED HOME. The people of this city are glad to welcome home one of our most eminent citizens in the person of Rev. R. A. Adams, D.D., who is home for a much needed rest, after an evangelistic season of four months. Though it may not be generally known, he is the most widely known citizen of this city, being known in nearly every state and in many of the large cities of the country. During the season just closed, Dr. Adams has traveled nearly ten thousand miles, delivered nearly five hundred sermons and addresses to approximately fifty thousand people and brought hundreds into the kigdom. He has labored in South Bend, and Ft. Wayne, Ind., Buffalo, N. Y., Pittsburg, Pa., and Baltimore, Md., visited the cities of Detroit, Mich., Baltimore, Md., Washington, D. C., Chicago, Ill., and a num- Rev. R. A. Adams, D.D. ber of other cities, having been in Washington during the stirring days just before the declaration of war against Germany and having the privilege of witnessing the inauguration of the president and hearing the inaugural address. Though an adopted Kansan, he is one of which every citizens should be proud because his life and work reflect credit on us. A writer in the Freeman speaks of him as "The answer to the challenge for the one great National Negro preacher." June 1st he will begin an extensive lecture tour to include the cities of St. Louis, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Pittsburg, Columbus, Ohio, Washington, D. C., Baltimore, Md., Philadelphia, New York City, Newport, R. I., Boston, Buffalo, Windsor, Ont., and Detroit. During this tour the Doctor will furnish a series of "travel notes" for this paper. Mrs. A. J. Bouldin, 1606 North Fifth street, visited her sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. Stone, the week end at Lawrence. She was accompanied home for a visit by the two sweet little children of her sister, Allene Fordine and Master Andrey Clanston Stone. GRAND UNION BAZAR AT FIRST A. M. E.

FORUM CLOSES SEASON WITH FINE PROGRAM CITIZENS' FORUM. MAY 13, 1917. The Citizens' Forum convened at Metropolitan Temple in its last session until after its vacation. Miss S. Chinn and Mr. D. W. White had charge of the program. After quotations, President Buster announced Current Events by Miss Buster which were very good. Vocal solo, Mrs. Mason, very good and encored. Inst. solo, "Lohengrin," with variations, by Miss Price, fine. The great feature of the program was the address, "The Trial of Jesus," by Judge N. C. Johnson. In part, he said: "Jesus had 4 trials, one before the Jewish Sanhedrin, another before Pilate and he was acquitted by the Roman law, then was tried before Herod, then he was sent back to Pilate who found no fault in Him. But still by political schemes as we have to this day, when He should have been acquitted, according to law, He was crucified. Mark was His only Christian witness. Pilate was a weak, guilty judge in giving sentence; and the sinful world was guilty of treason but the real victory was with Jesus." Judge Johnson certainly delivered a masterpiece; 'twas like a beautiful spiritual sermon and the audience gave him ovations of applause. The Cadet quartet from W. U. sang and were encored. Miss L. Thompson played nicely for the offering which was nearly $8. Mr. F. K. Douglass sang a lovely tenor solo, and deserved an encore. Miss Beulah Douglass accompanied him and also played a difficult instrumental solo. Miss M. Stuart's solo was called, but her accompanist had gone. After the critique President Buster, after thanking officers and all members and the church, adjourned this greatest civic organization "sine die" until some time in September, and had Rev. D. A. Holmes give the benediction. The large crowd was pleased with the fine program as a closing and will meet at the same church when they reconvene. NOTES ON THE FORUM. Every minister, lawyer, teacher, doctor and people of all ranks should have heard that "Trial of Jesus. Some visitors seen at the Forum were Rev. J. R. Richardson, Atty. D.

Griffin, the new pastor, arrived in the city Wednesday evening at 5:30. With Dr. Ransom, late pastor, and a committee, met the reverend gentleman at the union depot, from where he and the party were motored to the home of Mrs. Noland's, 344 Greeley avenue, where a fine course dinner was awaiting. Dr. Griffin was given a royal reception in the church auditorium Thursday evening, where hundreds welcomed and greeted him. He is a man easy to meet and his warmth of social pleasantness soon makes one believe he is just an old friend who has been absent for a time. The members and friends of this church who were present expressed themesives as being greatly impressed with First A. M. E.'s new shepherd and citizen. Dr. Griffin will preach his first sermon as pastor of this church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock and it goes without saying another overflow crowd 'will be present. The Thursday evening reception was also in honor of our retiring pastor, Rev Ransom and family, who pastored this church four and one-half years with great success, but for the good of Methodism and all concerned was transferred to Wichita, Kansas. A fine musical program was rendered in connection with welcome address and eulogies on the incoming and outgoing pastors. Rev. Paterson, the assistant pastor, preached a strong logical sermon Sunday morning to an appreciative audience. At the evening service Dr. R. A. Adams, the race's greatest evangelist, delivered a soul stirring sermon. Dr. Adams is a wonderful preacher and his argument is concrete. EIGHTH STREET BAPTIST TABERNACLE.

A large congregation was present at the morning service in memory of "Mothers' Day." Pastor D. A. Holmes, though somewhat indisposed from a slight operation on his tonsils, gave in a beautiful conversational tone, a beautiful discourse on "Mothers' Love." The text was from 1st Kings, 3:22. In part he said: Mothers' love is next to God's and is almost omnipresent. Her love follows her children everywhere. No one sympathizes with you as mother and is the only one outside of God who will have us if we do wrong. Appropriate songs of mother were sung by the choir and by request the organist played "Mother's Prayer." Nine were fellowshipped into the church amidst manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Many wore natural carnations in memory of their mothers. At 7:45 p. m. the pastor preached from Isa. 34:6. It was also greatly enjoyed. Eight more were fellowshipped, making a total of 17. The ordinary collection for the day was near $70. Next Sunday, May 20th, baptizing at 11 a. m. The B. Y. P. U. discussed "Fellowship with God. Psa. 119th, and Mr. Cordelle White, chorister, gave each one present a carnation as a souvenir of Mother's Day. The Sunday school on this date ran up to 200 in attendance. --- MANHATTAN, KANSAS The Progressive Literary Society has just closed a popularity contest in which six of the K. S. A. C. students ran for the honors. The society was divided into two clubs, under the captainships of Mrs. Lillian Carter and Mrs. Bertie Bush. Each club supported three contestants and nearly 450 tickets were sold, of which number 108 were bought for Miss Maude Barnett of Hutchinson, Kas. She being the winner will not only be crowned as "May Queen" Friday, May 18th at the A. M. E. church, but will sit in the honored place and act as the mistress of ceremonies at the oratorial contest which will be Friday, May 25. Mothers' Day at the A. M. E. church was a great day. Three services were held and all were interesting, especially the 3 p. m. service which was held under the auspices of the W. M. M. society, as it was a very spiritual one. At 8p.m. the A. C. Endeavor League rendered a program which lasted one and one-half hours. In every number there was a befitting tribute to the mothers of the race and the music was well suited to the occasion. The Second Baptist church building is going along nicely. The loyal members are struggling and rallying to the work that they may soon get in the auditorium for worship. Rev. C. A. Raulston, the pastor, is inspiring a new energy and Christian zeal in the membership and a good work is being done. A union service of all the churches will be held at the Shepherd M. E. chapel next Sunday, May 20th. DOUGLASS WINS IN TRACK MEET In the track meet of our schools at Heathwood Park Douglass gained the most points in high jumping. 50 yard dashes and everything. It defeated Sumner high school and all other schools. In one or two instances, Stowe and Lincoln scored a point or two. The audience was delighted with the children's activities. Prof. J. P. King trained the Douglass children. Some good runners were Vivien Anthony, Katherine Rhodes, Carl Holmes and others whose names we did not get. Douglass was awarded the elegant silver loving cup.

SUMNER HIGH NOTES Assembly was called Monday at 11:30 at which time Mr, Roscoe Simmons gave an unsually interest- ing lecture. To comment on his lec- ture would be only doing it an injus- tice. Mr. Simmons is undoubtedly one Of the greatest Negro orators of today. The Senior play, “Her Friend the Enemy” was a great success. The au- ditorium was crowded long before the curtain went up. The characters act- ed their parts almost perfectly. The play itself was a very practical one of the time just before and during the Civil war. Many incidents that were ‘true to that period were vividly por- trayed. First we find with the out- break of the war a girl of the Confed- erate ranks in love with a Union sol- dier, We find the soldier facing a very grave situation; that of either turning traitor to that cause which he believed was right or giving up the girl he loved. With the outbreak of the Civil war there were undoubt- edly thousands of such cases as this, Again we see just how faithful the slaves were to their owners, First we see the old slave’risking his life in order to save his mistress’ lover from capture. Finally after freedom was declared they refused to leave or re- ceive pay for their labor. Because of the fine treatment they received they prepared to stay and serve their form- er master as they had all their life. An exceedingly large crowd attena- ed the track meet held last Friday. Because of the great enthusiasm that was manffested this will undoubtedly become an annual event. They say that cupid is about to shoot an arrow through the hearts ot. two members of the Senior class. We hope when he does shoot he will shoot straight, . Several of the students attended the demonstration held by Lincoln High school at convention hall. They great- ly enjoyed it and many expressed their wishes that Sumner could have something on this order next year, when military training goes into ef- fect in the high schools on this side. Mr. Chester Ross, formerly of the Junior class, who left school last winter, visited the school on Monday. Rev. J. E. Wilson an evangelist of oitshoma, lectured at a special as- sembly on Monday, May 14, ‘Miss Berniece Scott conducted cur- rent events at the assembly on Wed- nesday. Following these Miss Mary Link gave a report of her visit to the high school girls’ conference that was held in Manhattan last week, Sho Teported that there were several dif- ferent vocations open to girls that were discussed, Among them were factory work, social work, stenogra- phy, physical culture work of various formg, tmusic, newspaper reporting, nursing, agricultural work, home eco- nomics and industrial management, It was stated that one good point in nursing was that there are no men in this field to compete with. Miss Link reqdered her report in a very com- mendable manner. She has a very large vocabulary at hand at all occa- sions, roll, 1505 North Eighth street, May 6th, a fine baby girl, Mother and daughter doing nicely. ——— | ‘The play given by Mrs, Francis at the First A.
