KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE VOL. 3. TWELVE 652 MINN. TWELVE MONTHS $1 50 CITIZENS FORUM HAVE MEMORIAL FOR DR. H. T. KEALING By Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Pub. Com. At the weekly convocation of the Citizens' Forum, composed of persons of all religious denominations, Memorial services were held at the Metropolitan Temple Sunday, March 17th for our deceased distinguished citizen, Dr. H. T. Kealing, late president of W. U.. At 3 o'clock his many friends and acquaintances began to arrive and by 4 p. m. the vast auditorium was filled and the audience began to ascend to the four large balconies. One of the largest assemblies the Forum has had witnessed the eulogies of this great man's life work. The students of the Western University had printed neat souvenir programs on which his picture was engraved, and a large picture, draped in purple and white, was displayed on an easel. President G. B. Buster was master of ceremonies and announced the subsequent program: Invocation, chaplain; music, Western University orchestra, good; appropriate quotations, Forum; music, W. U. chorus; the offertory was donated exclusively by Western University, led by Prof. P. L. Jacobs. The principal feature of the program was the address, "Our Chieftain," by Prof. S. French, V. P. of W. U. Some of the many good things he said were: "That Dr. Kealing was not beastful, was a race man, had an analytical mind, advised intellectual training, was an author and a noted lecturer. His motto was, "To be rather than to seem to be." He also claimed "There is no true standard of man, except the inner man." Prof. French also said "the most recent American triumvirate was Dr. Booker T. Washington, Bishop Abram Grant and Dr. H. T. Kealing. He spoke of all three being born slaves and arising up as leaders. Washington, the invincible Christian apostle of industrial education in schools of all races, Grant, the great ecclesiastic, and Kealing, the writer, editor, educator and leader of racial pride. His climax was a hope that these three immortal kindred spirits are watching for us, and that our race will, through God, become a mighty people for righteousness (great applause.) The female quartet, "In the Mountain Above," was beautiful. Address, Judge L. W. Keplinger. He spoke of being a neighbor and friend of Dr. Kealing, also said as he looked upon the large intelligent audience, he felt repaid for going into the Civil war. Even in his short life's span to see such men like the late B. T. Washington, Bishop, Grant, and Dr. Kealing. "Not only have the colored people made progress in the industrial system, there are also astonishing changes and progress made in all other lines." "The race has not only fought its own battles, but has fought the white peoples' battles." "The colored race has come here to stay. Wherever they go, there the white race will go." The Judge received great applause on his loyalty to our race. Then Dr. Kealing's favorite song "He Walks With Me and Talks With Me," was sung by the W. U. chorus; Miss Etta Moten, one of our greatest sopranos, singing the solo obligato, and Prof. R. G. Jackson at the pipe organ. "Twas pathetic, but most beautiful on account of the blending and expression of the many voices, and the artistic embellishments Prof. Jackson inserts while rendering his selections. It received a silent ovation, which was proper on account of the occasion. Remarks, Prof. G. N. Grisham. He said: "Dr. Kealing stood for service. None teachers. She died Thursday morning. will make himself great only so far as he serves the race." "We want a better funeral arrangements. proper on account of the occasion. Remarks, Prof. G. N. Grisham. He said: "Dr. Kealing stood for service. None will make himself great only so far as he serves the race." "We want a better Teach your de sense--cents--. A rupt Sale of Shoes Teach your dollars to have more sense--cents--. A visit to the Bankrupt Sale of Shoes, Hats, Furnishings for the entire family at 507 Minnesota Ave. will mean many dollars for other purposes. Ben Deutch, Mgr. Kans Historical Society VOL. 3. AVE.---"THE BOO humanity, a better white race, as well as a better colored race." He praised Judge Keplinger's address, also spoke of Dr. Kealing's last message at the Forum, for us "to be somebody in particular." "He said men have no right to die as soon as Prof. Kealing and Dr. B. T. Washington did." The Bible says, "Our days are three-score years and tcn." Don't rust out, but conserve yourselves from too much intellectual exertion as well as any other over-exertion. He closed thanking God for such men as Dr. Washington and Dr. Kealing. Prbf. Grisham is a silver--tongued orator and one of our best educators and received great applause. A folk-song was sung by the chorus. Announcements were:—Sunday, March 24, Garden Day, and Sunday, March 31, "Race Day," and quotations to be given from colored authors. The W. U. orchestra gave a fine closing selection, and after President Buster thanked Prof. French, Judge Keplinger and Prof. Girsham and the musical personnel and all, Mr. J. Dyson pronounced the benediction for adjournment. QUINDARO, KANS. A soul-stirring quarterly meeting was held Sunday. Rev. King, P. E., preached two helpful sermons. Rev. Everett of Argentine, preached the sacramental sermon. Quite a number were out from the First A. M. E. church to town. Mr. and Mrs. Landon entertained Drs.

Jackson of Waco, Texas Principal Speaker of national reputation. The music will be furnished by Western University, Lincoln High School, Sumner High School and the Church Choir.

FOURTEEN SONS IN THE ARMY "George Borden, a Negro of North Carolina has 35 children; 27 are living and 14 of them are in the U. S. army in this country or France. He has furnished nearly two squads to the army, has been married three times, and on four occasions has been the father of quadruplets—a world's record." Can any other race beat that for loyalty? FIRST BAPTIST. Many visitors and strangers were present Sunday morning owing to the fact of baptism. We were pleased to see the mail out. The pastor, Rev. W. A. Bowren, preached a beautiful baptism sermon. He admonished all Christians to be spreaders of the gospel individually, thereby being the means of converting sinners who never come inside a church. He gave a touching little incident of individual spreading of the gospel and a great sinner man is soon to be baptized as a result of it. All those baptized Sunday morning were a direct result of individual Christ preaching. One effort of promptness is being noticed now. Services started 11:03 Sunday morning and on time Sunday evening. Let us every one do his or her bit for punctuality. This Sunday let us begin services at exactly 11 instead of 11:03. The closing was a trifle late because of baptism. Always every one is welcome at First Baptist. The Rally Bands are certainly putting forth some energetic efforts to raise the desired funds for the new church. The Evens had a big gathering at their Thursday evening meeting and sold a most delicious dinner for 20 cents, which was immensely enjoyed by all who ate. The Odds gave their Slab Town Convention Friday night and the church was crowded, for which the Odds were indeed thankful. Refreshments were served in the lecture room. Both bands mean to claim the victory in May, so each one of us must work a little harder. Rev. Bowren will preach by request, 'If a man, a Christian, dies upon the battle field, will be be saved, meeting his death in the act of killing his fellow men, and the Bible says thou shalt not kill. This is to be a very absorbing subject, so we invite all to come out and hear it Sunday morning, 11 o'clock, March 24th. Mr. Booth Smith and other gallant young men acted as ushers and seated the large audience very quietly. Miss Dovie Whiteside acted secretary pro tem until Mrs. M. C. Matthews came, who was to act as secretary of the day, according to the printed program. Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Collins, formerly of Wichita, but now of Quindaro, attended the Kealing Memorial at the Forum, Sunday. Mrs. B. S. Jones and her children have all been sick with la grippe. She was greatly missed from the Bible class and other meetings. Mr. Horace Campbell of Pine Bluff, Ark., is stopping at his brother's on Freeman avenue. He will send for his wife and locate here. BARBER SHOP FOR SALE. On account of failing health would like to sell the New Reform Barber Shop. Location good, 601 State avenue. A standard business. Terms to suit. See or write H. R. Stines, 601 State Ave., METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. The pastor being sick in bed, covenant was conducted by Rev. A. Royston and Deacon J. Ford at the morning service. Many testified as witnesses for Christ and many sensible beautiful songs were sung. At the evening service Rev. J. R. Richardson of Mt. Pleasant church, an apostle sent out by God, preached. He made opening remarks in praise of the manner of beginning on time, etc., and took his text from John 20:25 about people being so hard to believe the word of God, and how "doubting Thomas" had to be convinced. Some people are presumptious and require so many evidences. They ought to believe after hearing so many witnesses. "Blessed are they who believe and have not seen." Christ told Nicodemus "Ye must be born again." Dr. Richardson said, "Did you ever hear of anyone seeing before they were born?" He preached a beautiful sermon that anyone could understand, and closed with the question, "Why not believe tonight?" And some united with the church. Dr. Richardson is termed one of the greatest preachers in the West. He and Rev. Calaway and Pastor Holmes were called the Spurgeons of Greater Kansas City during the great Baptist Union Revival last year. When the Metropolitan members, pleased with his sermon, offered to take collection for him. Rev. Richardson kindly thanked them and would not accept anything. Mr. James Ford gave out an announcement sent to him by Pastor Holmes. The funeral service of Mrs. Mary Jackson took place Wednesday at 2 p. m. from the A. M. E. church. Rev. Owens officiated. The body was in charge of the Tabernacle and the Golden Leaf Court turned out. It was largely attended as the deceased grew up here. She leaves a devoted mother and many friends, who will miss her friendly manners towards all. Rev. D. A. Holmes seems to be convalescing.

Sunday was a historic day for the Fifteenth Street M. E. church, located at Fifteenth street and Wabaash avenue. The congregation held a great mortgage burning rally, paying off the church's indebtedness of long standing and also raising in addition enough money to seend the pastor, Rev. E. P. Geiger, Ph. B., on salary to conference. The ceremony of burning the mortgage was held Sunday night, beginning at 8 o'clock. A large number of the members and friends of this church saw the "mortgage go up in flames and come down in ashes." The mortgage, which amounted to about $400, has been a heavy burden on the Fifteenth Street M. E. church for a long time. The other Methodist churches of Wichita helped this church to raise money to pay off this mortgage and Sunday when enough was secured to wipe out the indebtedness there was great rejoicing among the congregation. In the afternoon a class leaders' rally to raise funds to liquidate the church indebtedness was held. There were five classes and each class had a table which was presided over by a minister. These ministers were: Rev. E. Alard Smith, class No. 1; Rev. E. T. Fishback, pastor of New Home Baptist church, class No. 2; Rev. J. R. Ransom, pastor St. Paul A. M. E. church, class No. 3; Rev. S. D. Butler, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, class No. 4; and Reverend Toomer, pastor C. M. E. church, No. 5. There was much friendly rivalry among the various classes, each trying to raise more than the other.
