Hayden, prominent dentist of Kansas City, Kas., who has served as First lieutenant, Dental Corps in U. S. army and has seen service in France for more than five months. Lieutenant Hayden was born in Columbus, Kas., Oct. 22nd, 1888, and reared in Springfield, Mo. He received his literary training in the public and high schools of Springfield, Mo., and completed a two years' course in a Scientific school of Cambridge, Mass. He matriculated in Meharry Dental college in fall of year 1908, and in spring of 1912 received his degree, Doctor of Dentistry and Surgery successfully passing the Kansas State Board of Dental Examiners. The following summer he opened a dental office with his brother, Dr. R. C. Hayden, an established physician of Kansas City, Kas., and for the past five years has enjoyed a TOMMY BROWN lucrative practice in his profession. Feeling that his services might be needed in the present world's war, he volunteered to attend the Officers' Training school for Negroes at Des Moines, Ia. By his rigid and strict application to his work he successfully qualified and was in August of this year commissioned First Lieutenant in the Dental Corps. His office and practice is attended to by Dr. T. V. Ward, who has been his office associate for the past year. As the armistice has been signed and the boys are scheduled to return, he is one of the fortunate ones to have gone through safely and writes us of his wide experience of which he will fully relate on his return. Dr. Hayden in a recent letter to his brother, the physician said he had made an application to Oxford college, England, for a six weeks post graduate course in dental clinics. We will be very pleased indeed, to have the doctor return to us with a complete diary of his wonderful experience.

The day of the S. A. T. C. boys begins at 5:45 a. m., and ends at 9:30 p. m. At 6:00 revellie is blown and all are required to stand revellie at which time roll is called and special orders for the day are read. At 6:45 chow call is sounded. These chow calls, mess calls, or what ever you wish to call them, are the most welcomed calls of the day, as you might naturally expect. At 7:15 sick call is blown. Every one with the least ill or ache or imaginary ache, hits the sick line. The remedy for most of these aches is a brown and white pill, or a coat of iodine on the infected spot. The chief reason for so many hitting this line, is to have some valid excuse for being absent at the next formation which is at 7:30. At 7:20, first call for drill is blown and at 7:30 drill call is sounded off. after this call and until 9:30, it's squads right and squads left and right front into line and such. The original plans governing the S. A. T. C. were that we be excused at 9:30 so all could attend classes on the hill. But now that the S. A. T. C. is to be disbanded those only who are going to remain in school are required to attend their classes. The others either drill, do police duty, hike, or do what we like to do best and that is nothing. At 12:00 comes the second chow call followed by another formation at 1:30. The afternoon program differs very little from that of the morning. The last chow call of the day is at 5:30. Although these chow calls are exceptionally welcome, yet the chows are anything but appetizing. It is potatoes three meals every day and seven days a week. Our best chow is Sunday noon which is not out of the ordinary at all. Call to quarters is blown at 6:45, and from 7:00 to 9:00 p. m. is study period for those who are attending classes. on the hill and is a general recreation period for those not attending school. The day ends at 9:30 when taps are blown and lights go out. On Saturday taps are not blown until 11:00. STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! The Goodfellows' Club will give a big show and Christmas tree at Dun- Theatre, 1614 North Tenth street, Kansas City, Kansas, for the benefit of the Orphan Children's Home, Monday, Dec 23rd Show runs from 3:30 to 11:30 p.m. Admission 25c.

Patterson, secretary; Dan Watson, assistant secretary; Joe Posey, treasurer. Mr. Joe William of 2019 North Sixth street, lowered the electric light the dniing room of the Orphans' Home. Services free. We thank him, We have had quite a bit of sickness at the Orphans' Home the last two weeks, including the matron, but under the skillful care of Dr. I. H. Anthony, all are convalescing. Mrs. Jane Dudley arrived from Cincinnati, O., Thursday and will live in this city now. Mrs. Phillips, Matron of the Orphan's Home, is doing well, considering she has so many little folks to see after, and some of them sick. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1918 THE FIRST COLORED EPISCOPAL BISHOP OF THE U. S. A. RECEIVED A GREAT WELCOME The members of the Episcopal Church of the Ascension gave a fine reception for the Rt. Rev. Bishop E. T. Denby Tuesday evening at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple. Preceeding it the following program was rendered: Music—"America." Invocation—Rev. G. A. Terry. Piano Solo—Mrs. Nettie Poenix Herrndon. Remarks—Rev. M. E. Spatches Rector of the Church of the Ascens' cn. Violin Solo—Master Johnson. Addresses of Welcome for Citizens Prof. G. B. Buster; for Churches, Dr. D. A. Holmes. Thombone Solo—Mr Ellison. Introduction of Bishop Demby—Rev. A. Mize, Rector of St. Paul's church. Address—Nt. Rev. Bishop E. T, Demby. Benediction. Dr. Soanes was master of ceremonies. The bishop certainly is a fine Christian talker, and gave good, wholesome race talk in his fine practical address. He has a correct eye for fine architecture, and praised the members of Metropolitan for building such a magnificent church. Said: "He knows it must be among the finest of the race churches in many cities." He also thanked them for their hospitality in allowing them to use it. The ladies of the Guild decorated the church with tree palms and national colors and served delicious cocoa, assorted cakes, etc., in abundance in the dining hall. The guests enjoyed the program and reception greatly, and wish for the bishop success wherever he goes, and success to the Church of the Ascension. Mrs. E. T. Ricks-Denby, the bishops' splendid wife, and at one time matron of Douglass hospital, accompanied her husband. To The Advocate, Kansas City, Kas.: We wish to take this opportunity of giving our many friends in old Kansas City, Kas., and especially those in old Sumner, an insight into the life of the boys of the S. A. T. C. who are stationed at Kansas University, Lawrence, Kansas. On September sixteenth, about thirty-five colored boys from the state together with some 2,300 white boys, assembled on the campus of old K. U. YOU CAN'T MISS IT "THE RETURN A Comedy in First A. M.

It was indeed a great sight to see the long, long trail of boys, starting from the magnificent steps of old Green Hall and winding through the beautiful campus. Despite the crisp cool weather, many arrived as early as 7:00 a. m. to be certain of being on hand at 9 a. m. when the enrolling began. Then it was on the first of October; after several weeks had been devoted to physical examinations, class enrollment and the performing of other duties required before being accepted for military service, that we assembled on McCook field, that athletic field noted for the great foot ball battles that have been fought between the Krasas Jawhakers and the Missouri Tigers. Eleven a. m. was the hour of the assembly. This assembly was marked with great solemnity as this was the time set by the War department as the hour when the men who had assembled at over five hundred universities throughout the country should take the oath of allegiance and be formally mustered into military service. And at that hour the S. A. T. C. became a part of the American military machine which had been set into motion to destroy that efficient war machine of Germany. On that date began our change from the life of a civilian to that of an American soldier, willing to make the supreme sacrifice if necessary, to librate the world from such brutes as the Germans had proven to be. The month of October was indeed a historic month as it was during that month that the influenza descended upon us and in addition to giving those of us who survived the epidemic a great scare, it caused our military life and spirit to suffer a dampening from which it has never fully recovered. The month of November, especially the eleventh day, will go down in history as one of the most important days in history, as on that day hostilities between the Allies and Germany ceased, and an armistice signed. But it was a sad day for most of us, as it meant that we would have to remain privates now until we were discharged as news was received that no more officers were to be commissioned. By November the twenty-seventh, our life as a soldier had begun to grow rather monotonous and disagreeable, now that the war was over and there was no further need of our services.

We do know now that we are sure to get out and therefore we can stay out these few remaining days with a little greater ease. So these fast fleeing days of the last days of the historic year of 1918 fino us waiting as patiently as is possible under present circumstances for that great day to come when we shall bid our Leutenants, their never-to-be-forgotten barracks, and the city of Lawrence, good bye.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. CHRISTMAS. The most universal of all holidays will again arrive Wednesday of next week. Over nineteen hundred years ago the birth of the Christ, marked a new epoch in the history of the world. No other event in the history of man as left its imprint on the history of the race, as the coming of the promised Mesiah. From his birth the world measures time. The religion which he brought to man is greatest of all. It has been fruitful of more good to the world than all other forms of religious precepts. He spoke as never man spake. His teachings have exerted their benign influence on the nations of the earth, even those whose religious forms are different,—in these nations, the influence of Christianity has been felt. The Christian civilization is far in advance of that of all others. The culture of the Greeks, the power and display of the civilization of ancient Rome, in short, the philosophies of the world, have not produced a culture or a power that approaches the influence on the history of man, as has the principles of the Christian religion. No utterances, touching the life, in theory, equals those enunciated in the Sermon on the Mount. Webster, the great American creator and statesman, once replied to the sneers of some of his fellows, when addressing a jury, in a masterly manner known only to such as he. The eloquent lawyer was addressing a jury and inadvertently referred to religion. A smile was seen to pass among some of the jury and his fellow lawyers. Webster stopped at once and in a serious tone, barked the scoffers and thereupon repeated the Sermon on the Mount, in such a manner that everyone in the room was seriously impressed. At the close of his recitation of the profound production Webster said, "Take all else if you will, out of the Bible, but let that remain and I shall believe in the divinity of the man who gave it utterance." Out of the influence of Christianity has been produced the highest class of music. Christianity has given inspiration to the greatest work of art, known to the world. It has brought forth the greatest work of sculpture. It left its imprint on the lives of nations. In the midst of the great war, out of which we are just passing, the cry went up: "Christianity is a failure." It was the cry of dispair. But when the terrified world took its second thought, it exclaimed, "No, no, it is for the want of the application of the teachings of the principles of Christianity, not the fault of the system of religion." Never before, in all history have so many men turned to the church for consolation. Thousands of those who were called upon to face death have testified to the comfort and help of Christianity. The Y. M. C. A. and kindred organizations, all the product of this religion, have demonstrated that the religion of Christ is not a failure. Yes, the great holiday approaches, with its god cheer with its greatest pleasure to childhood and youth, who are the autocrats, for the time, and the mystic, innocent indulgences of childhood are shared with grown up people as well. We all welcome the day. Its influence on all our lives is naught but good. Welcome the day and with it its hallowed memories of the passing years. Young and old may well join in observing this, the greatest of all anniversaries, The Advocate extends the most kind- THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

CHURCH NEWS The pastor of the First A. M. E. church and Members wish for everyone the seasons' greetings. Quarterly meeting was held Sunday, when Presiding Elder J. T. Smith delivered at the morning service an excellent sermon to a large and appreciative audience. Dr. J L. Bolden, pastor of St. Peter's C. M. E. church, preached the Communion sermon at 3 p. m, which was eloquent and full of fire. It was a most wonderful discourse. Presiding Elder Smith closed the day at 7:30 p. m., with an inspiring message. Several joined the church during these services. The Sabbath school, with Miss Theodosia Hamilton, superintendent, is doing nice work and they reported as a Christmas offering Sunday $55 and some cents. The Christmas tree next Tuesday evening will lbe on a large scale and a fine, program will be rendered. They expect to have an old-fashioned Christmas tree or what we call in this age, a Community Tree, artistically decorated and laden with presents. The parents and public are asked to bring their presents and have them placed on this mammoth tree. The Allen League, under the presidency of Miss Mae McClelland is growing rapidly and each Sunday growing rapidly and each Sunday's program is of great interest and help to those who attend. Quarterly conference was held Monday night when all departments of the church made their reports, which were excellent. Something over four hundred dollars was reported for Sunday and Monday. Sunday will be another big day, as the pastor says he has something big in store for those who attend. Memorial services will be held at 7:30 p. m., in honor of Lieutenant Merriweather and Lieutenant Harpole, who were killed in action the 6th of October in France. Both were members of First A. M. E. church. A splendid program has been arranged for the occasion, and the church, no doubt will be crowded out of respect these two braves, who gave up their lives and home ties for their countrys 'freedom. "If you are free in Christ, you are indeed." Our Greetings and good wishes for the Merriest of Christmasses to our absent members. ly greetings to all its patrons and wishes them a most merry time, followed with a happy New Year, and all the years to come. The Editor was much gratified this week in meeting and being at the reception of his old schoolmate, the Rt. Rev. Bisho E. T. Denby, which brought to memory pleasant associations at Wilberforce University. We also feel proud and congratulate our Christian friend in the progress he has made as a Christian minister. The honor is a moritorious one, and we bid him God speed in his life's work.

(First, publication “Dec. 20, 1918.) PAGE THRER ge EN MULE INS December 15, 1918, the Citizens” “Forum” of Kansas-City, Kas., was called to order by the president and the assembly was entertained with the following program: Music; prayer, Mr. Manley; quotations; Foruni; Inst. Solo, Miss Sopora Miller, very fine; curent events by Prof. R. H. Brown; patriotic music; address, “The Negro and Reconstruction,” Prof. G. B. | Buster. He advanced many formulas for the race to solve; inst. solo, Miss Marjorie Kelly, very fine also; Vice- President G. Booker, presided during the program and Miss Marie Johnson, Judge Bradley, Mr. H, Dwiggins and Rev. T. Napper also contributed to the curent events. The address by Prof. G. B. Buster was so interest- ing and historical that it was hard to close the discussion so ™many wanted to coincide or express their views. The speaker said in part: “That the expression fighting for the democracy of the world,” was not really meant as thinking of the American Negro at all, He believes our race “is away ahead of the vortex;’ ’and that we ought to get the idea before the world, to make the so-called Democracy broad enough to include us.” He spoke of peonage being practiced in the South, of disfranchisement, jim crow cars, and lynching. Prof. C. H. M. Collins said “We must do more for ourselves, ete.’ Rev. T. Napper said, “Those of us who are proficient, owe our qualiti¢s to some of the good ones of the other race, who first sacrificed and began to teach our race, i. e., good white people have really helped us in the advancement we have made.” And if we'd strive and put a million dol- lars in the N. A. A. GLP. treasury in 10 years this mistreatment of us would disappear.” Mr, Manley said: “We are too much against each other.” Prof. J. P. King said: “We must create sentiment for ourselves,.” Mr. Gardner said: “We must use force,” but Prof. A, J. Neely said, “What could 1-8 of the Population of the U. S. A., do against the other 7-82” Rev. D. A. Holmes Praised the paper and said “He thinks things are some better as a result of agitation.” He also said: “He regretted to hear one intelligent gentleman say, ‘Quit trusting in the Loid.” His advice to that person is to serve God and defend ourselves in a spiritual and moral and intelligent way.” Prof. Buster also said we must defend ourselves spirit- ually, morally and intellectually. By motion, further discussion of this im- portant question was laid on the table. The following officers were elected for 1919: ; President, Prof. J. A. Hedge; First vice-president, Prof. J. P. King; sec- ond vice-president, Mrs. W. G. Wood; regording secretary, Mrs. V. Calhoun; assistant secretary, Miss Carrie Adams; treasurer, Mrs. Hattie Berry; corresponding secrefary, Prof. G. B. Buster; chaplain, Rev. T. Napper; critic, Prof. Rueben Brown; sargt. at arms, Mr. J. A. Dyson. President Hodge-elect has already said he wishes Mrs, M. C. Matthews, the pres~ ent publicity committee, to serve again in this appointive office, and his otter appointments will be made when he is installed. Misses Saunders and Kulley arranged the program Dec. 15th. Next Sunday, December 22nd, will be a great day at the Forum; the second pipe organ recital will be given by Prof. R. G. Jackson, with the university choruses, ete., and a paper by Mrs. Wm. Alpin of Kansas City, Mo. Free to everybody. Come and hear it.

At the law offices of Lawyer Booker 516 Minnesota avenue, Kansas City, Kas., on the 3d, inst. there assembled some of the leading colored lawyers of the two Kansas Cities, and perfected an organization to be known as the Inter-City Colored Lawyers Club, the purpose of which is to create a more fraternal spirit and feeling among the colored practiceers, and to uphold the standards of the legal profession in general, also to bring into the folds that portion of Negro patronage that is now going to white lawyers. The by-laws also provide for a campaign of education through public meetings and otherwise for the instruction of colored people in their constitutional and citizenship rights and how to defend them. This club is not meant to take the place of the State Bar Association now composed of white and colored lawyers, they especially reserve their rights to become members thereof, this is just a private affair between the colored practicing attorneys of the two Kansas Cities. The following were elected officers: L. A. Knox, 1418 East Eighteenth street, president; Forest B. Anderson, 529 State avenue, Kansas, vice-president; D. E. Henderson, 32 Stubbs building, Kansas side treasurer; Guy J. Booker, 516 Minnesota avenue, Kansas side, secretary; executive committee, I. F. Bradley, Fifth and Minnesota, Kansas side; E. A. Shackleford, 511 Minnesota avenue, Kansas side; and Wm. Bruce, 1418 East Eighteenth street, Missouri side. Business will be held the first Wednesday in each month, all practicing attorneys of color are eligible for membership. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES. Again a large congregation assembled at this house of God to worship the Lord. Pastor Holmes preached on the subject, "The King's Business." It was very pathetic when telling of David's prayer for a contrite heart and when he told so effectively the parable of the Prodigal Son. He said in part: "That God wants the heart; God doesn't care for looks or whether we are dressed in cotton or worse. He wants a clean, contrite heart. When he led the people in singing: "I'm on business for my King," one of the most beautiful songs of our colored composers; also "It is well with my soul," and another hymn, many went forward to join. At 7:45 p. m. he preached for the first time during his ministry on "Humility." It was soul-stirring. The ordinary collection was over $70. Come to this Temple Sunday, December 22nd, and help this large body of people working for the Master.

THE INTERSTATE LITERARY ASSOCIATION. Whereas, the entire country has been visited by an epidemic worse than ever in its history, and Whereas, a strict ban has been placed on all public gatherings, schools, churches, societies, etc., thereby preventing most of our literary societies from holding their meetings and electing delegates and attending to the things so necessary toward making the Inter-State a success, and Whereas this, the 7th day of Dec. final arrangements for the 28th annual session finds the epidemic still raging in many parts of the country, especially in Kansas and Missouri, closisg all schools for the second time, and causing the Teachers' Association to postpone their sessions for a year, and Whereas, the citizens of Wichita, where our 28th annual session was to have been held, on account of conditions prevailing there and the uncertainty as to when conditions would change, unanimously voted to request the Executive Committee and officers of the Inter-State Literary Association to postpone this session for a year, and Whereas, it is the concensus of opinion of all leaders consulted that postponement is the best step to take, and Whereas, the Executive Committee held its first meeting, made arrangements and published the same in all the leading papers throughout its jurisdiction, mailed its circular letter, and purchased its stationery, thereby incurring considerable expense, therefore, be it Resolved, That all old societies be requested to send the annual fee of $1.00 to the Corresponding Secretary to meet these expenses—the remainder, if any, to be placed in the treasury. That on account of the above mentioned reasons, the 28th annual session of the I. S. L. A. of Kansas and the West be postponed until Dec. 1919, the date to be fixed by the executive committee, and that a copy of these resolutions be given all our newspapers for publication in order that all societies may be informed of this action.

Of course the scenes were very essential as they taught the greatest thing all should do, i.e., "Seek for life everlasting." The pictures were plain and spiritual. A. female quartet from Western University sang nicely; and the affair was quite a success for the Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Calhoun, on Oakland avenue, leaves for Los Angeles, Cal., this Saturday to visit two months. She entertained the society editor one evening before she left in her nice home.
