Kansas City Advocate

Wm. Fox Presents Wm. Farnum in "Rider of the Purple Sage," Wed, April 30----The Milo KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. MIDNIGHT TAKES IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL THIS TIME Washington, D. C.—There is no question about it just at this time. I am still in the world and if I were not here I would be at some other point, but I am making the world see me, because I am writing for a newspaper, and when I get through, well, it is hard to tell just what is going to happen. I find that because I write for The Advocate many people are knowing that I am here. I want to thank them for it. Last week I was down in Virginia and now you see just what I am doing this week and where I am. I went from Portsmouth over to the place you call Dinnidie to spend a day with Prof. Walter S. Woodyard, president of a normal and industrial school over there, carried on by the A. M. E. Zion church, and if I tell you that he is good tip-top work you will believe it because I told you so. He is a young educator, although he has been in the business a long time. I recall when he was at one time with the late W. H. Councill down in Alabama, and went from there to the Mobile post office, then to Edenton, N. C., to a school, and from there to the place where he now is. We all rejoice in this one thing. From there I made it to this big city, the place where President Wilson makes his home when he is in the United States. Of course you know Mr. Wilson is living in my house and your house if you are a citizen of the United States. I have just discovered it, but I am not going to attempt to collect any rent from his wife or any one else while he is in Europe getting settled the peace question, for when he comes bacg home he is going to make it so that all citizens of the United States will be protected and there will be no more burning of human beings. I think some of them red necks are just trying themselves, because they think that "World-wide Democracy" means that they will have to give up their fun of having human barbecues. I would advise my country to see that this is done. We carried millions of men over the sea to fight for this thing, and we must show to civilization that we are not a lot of children, but real men capable of doing at home what we are striving to make the rest of the world do. I have not called to see the President, but I have called to see the Secretary of Finance and he made me shout all over the streets of Washington. It is Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and I am of the opinion that it was a wise step when his church elected him to the position. It was an advance step, because he has not only put into it some advanced ideas, but he is remaining there to push them, because he has not been stung by the "Bishop Bee." All the other secretaries got stung and most of them have gone there. Prof. Hawkins is a refined, polished Christian gentleman, well educated, and he knows how to treat all men. His hand is always extended and it is a wonder that they do not shake it off. Well, I suppose the Lord glued it on well while He was about tit, because He knew that it was going to get a-good shaking. I had the pleasure of meeting the financial board, and believe me, honey, it is a fine bunch of men. If I can remember them I will tell your their names. Here it is: Revs. M. W. Thornton, A. L. Gaines, Thomas H. Jackson, A. J. Carey, J. R. Ransom, S. D. Roseboro, R. W. Mance, W. H. Edwards, C. H. Shelto, S. J. Johnson, J. E. Starks, J. D. Dennis. They are all there and right on-time. They took time to audit the books of the secretary, to go over all the work, and then make the annual appropriation, review past things and adjourn to meet the next time at the seat of the general conference. I am told that they had a reporter there who will furnish you the report of LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL at CONVENTION HALL THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1919 Military, Folk and Aesthetic Physical Exhibition Athletic Contests, Art and Fashion Display 500 Students in Action Admision 25 and 15c. Boxes 35c the meeting, and I shall not go into details. I thought it was a cheeky thing three years ago when Prof. Hawkins announced that the church would raise a million dollars during the four years, but believe me, they have stepped over the top with over three-fourths of it now, and since there is less than one-fourth to be raised in little over a year put it down that, I told you it was going to happen. Next general assembly will be composed of aggressive men and of course they are going to recognize service, and the fellow who comes up for the office after Prof. Hawkins makes his report will be like the little men I once heard of with some big man called Gulliver. I don't know much about him, but you will know. I did not meet Mr. Gulliver, but I did meet Prof. Hawkins, his wife, daughter and son. His son, John R., Jr., has been over to France and helped to make the Kaiser put his gun down and flee away from his native land. Young Hawkins has been kept right in school, and has made good He was a sergeant in the company that handled them great big gurs. I heard him talking about degrees, and I did not know before that they had lodges in the army. Well, the more I live the longer I learn. By being here I had the pleasure of meeting some of the men who are before the church for honors next year and they are a fine bunch. I have met that Dr. A. J. Carey, of whom you have heard so much about, He lives in Chicago, and is truly a representative man for our people. He is looking after our interests in many places and he is capable of doing so. Well educated, and a student of men and other people. I have told you before about Dr J. C. Caldwell, the man who is interested in his young people. There was Rev. R. W. Mance, president of Allen University, Columbia, S. C., whose hat has just fallen into the ring, and he is in every particular a deserving man. The fact that he is president of a large university tells you that he is an educated man, and then he has succeeded Bishop W. D. Chappell, Bishop W. W. Backett, and now I want that he shall follow in their steps. The general conference will have this in charge. I am permitted to make a suggestion. W. Sampson Brooks, came over for a little while. He is on his way to higher things in his church. He is one of the hardest worked men in it, and I admire him because of the work he is doing. He is not a beggar, but is earning his promotion. When he puts Bethel church out of debt, the church should just ask him, "What will you have?" and give it to him without a question. Dr. A. L. Gaines, editor of The Commonwealth, is another strong man whose hand I shook and whose work is counting and commends him to his church. Did you ever meet Dr. B. F. Watson? He was here I shall tell you about him in my next letter, because he is going to have a big meeting next week and I expect to be here, although I am going to make places before I reach back here. My race has certainly put some strong men before the world, and foremost in this is the African Methodist Episcopal church. But I am a good old Baptist, yet I must give others credit for what they do. I am not trying to get away from my church. I have met the Rev. Dr. C. M. Tanner, pastor of the leading A, M. E. church in Washington. They call it the Metropolitan, and I am told that it is truly that. Dr. Tanner is over his head busy, because the race has been insulted by some white men whose home is in the place of perpetual summer where the wind is never known to blow and never will blow, and the sooner his majesty takes him, to himself the more love we will all have for the devil. I will get stuck on him myself. I am not a human buzzard looking for prey, hence I am not going to discuss the Washington scandal, then in our papers, but I never cussed so many ways in all my life since I have been in this city, and I am still think- A. M. E. CHURCH FINANCIAL BOARD Wahington, D. C.—"One million dollars through the Dollar Money System," is the slogan announced by Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the African Methodist church three years ago at the opening of his second term, and he reported to the Financial Board in annual session held at the headquarters April 16, that $765,635.36 had been raised in three years, which was an average of over $250,000 each year and at the meeting of the General Conference May, 1920, he will have gone over the top, thereby raising the largest amount in the history of the system. The board was presided over by Bishop B. F. Lee, of Nashville, Tenn. The following members were present: Revs. M. W. Thornton, Boston, Mass.; A. L. Gaines, Baltimore, Md.; Thomas H. Jackson, Wilberforce, Ohio; A. J. Carey, Chicago, Ill.; J. R. Ransom, Wichita, Kansas; S. D. Roseboro, Cuthbert, Ga.; R. W. Mance, Columbia, S. C.; W. H. Edwards, Jackson, Miss.; C. H. Shelton, Memphis, Tenn.; S. J. Johnson, San Antonio, Texas; J. E. Starks, Tallahassee, Fla.; J. D. Dennis, Jonesboro, Ark. It is the first time that a layman has held the position and being the second term, much interest has been manifested in the work of Prof. Hawkirs, who has proven to be the best secretary the church has ever had. The collections for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1919, by district as reported by the secretary were: First, Bishop Evans Tyree, $19,-120.23; Second, Bishop J. Albert Johnson, $31,334.22; Third, C. T. Shaffer (deceased), $12,789.64; Fourth, Bishop L. J. Coppin., $19,-076.55; Fifth, Bishop H. Blanton Parks, $19,292.06; Elixth, Bishop J. S. Flinper, $37,399.80; Seventh, Bishop W. D. Chappell, $24,149.50; Eighth, Bishop W H. Heard, $26,781; Ninth, Bishop B. F. Lee, $23,871.43; Tenth, Bishop J. H. Jones, $16,691-86; Eleventh, Bishop John Hurst, $24,233.65; Twelfth, Bishop J. M. Conner, $22,987.70; Thirteenth, Bishop I. N. Ross, $387.87; Fourteenth, Bishop W. W. Beckett, $4,796.86; Fifteenth, Bishop C S. Smith, $3,-204.76. Resolutions were adopted by the board commending the work of Prof. John R. Hawkins as financial secretury, and his services to the whole race. The Fourteen Articles as a basis for Democracy at Home, were highly commended. R..M. HUDSON GETS OKLAHOMA BRIDE Mr. R. M. Hudson, one of Kansas City, Kansas, well known and popular railroad men, was married Monday, April 21st, to Mrs. Hattie J. Brooks, in Oklahoma City. Mr. Hudson is also well known in church circles, being a member and regular attendant of First A. M. E. church, Eight street and Nebraska avenue. The groom and his bride expect to make this city their home after July first. ing cuss if I am not saying the words out. If you could just look in my face you would see them and see them there good and strong. I think I am out-cassing the man who invented the cuss. In this are involved some high school teachers, low school teachers, school girls, married women, and the Lord will have to tell the test. It is simply—well, I am about to get off and will stop right now before I say it in print. God forgive me for my thoughts along this cussing line, is my daily prayer, and I want to ask you to pray for men I have been invited to Boston by Dr. M. W. Thornton to eat some beans and see that Boston town, and believe me I am going. I wish you had time to go with me, but since you have not I will see things and tell you about them. That is what I am here for after all, I am not going to Bordontown, N. J., Philadelphia and some other places, return here and then go to Boston. Look out for me. I will bring this letter to a stop. Have you seen the Easter card of Tilford Davis. I hope you have, and if not then you write to him at 1116 Washington Boulevard Kansas, City, Kas. and he is prepared to supply you. It is indeed unique. ADVOCATE Ottawa, Kansas.—Advocate Special.)—Matt. 28:6. For He is risen as he said. The word Easter occurs once in the Blue Arts 12:4. Easter is an Anglo-Saxon word. It is derived from the Greek word Ostern and transposed from the Greek word Easter in honor of the north. Friday before Easter, commonly called Good Friday, is kept in memory of our Lord's Crucifixion. Easter day is always the first Sunday after the full moon which comes upon or next after the 21st of March. If the full moon comes on Sunday Easter day is always the Sunday after. The resurrection of Christ has been accepted by all Christians, who believe in its certainty, without having to put their finger into the Saviour's side or gaze upon the wounds with mortal eyes. The resurrection is the first of the plan of redemption, and is without a subterfuge The fact of the resurrection of Christ is the foundation of the Christian system; for the Apostle says: And if Christ be not raised, we are of all men most miserable In the resurrection of Christ from the dead we have a pledge of our own resurrection. A wonderful day to man when Christ handed him a clear deed to eternal life, and all father Adam lost in beautiful Eden. Let the hills and valley and every creature that has life rejoice with man, for resurrection to his lost inheritance. Roll on day of all days to man. According to nature, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it ablieve alone. John 12:24. The grave is a bulwark cast up between time and Eternity. Our eye may not preceive it. Below works corruption, and the form which once contained a beloved spirit is crumbling into earth. We also are following after, soon we will all be dust. Cenatations bloom and generations fall; those who enter upon the surface of the earth are sinking again below it. The world is one simple great grave. As it swings around the sun in its accustomed orbit, like a true mother, it carries the dust of her child in her bosom! God has filled all nature with contingent emblems of this doctrine. What is night but the death of day? What is morning but its resurrection from the shades of darkness? Easter comes back reminding us of the risen Christ. It speaks life to us. We know by Christ's resurrection that death has no dominion over those who live in Jesus. There is hope. There is comfort. There is joy as we truly realize the truth of Christ's resurrection. The resurrection was not a sealed vision. It was predicted by Moses. The Psalmist and the prophets centuries prior to the event. Our saviour declared publicly his own resurrection. "Destroy this temple," meaning his own body, "And in three days I will raise it up again." John 2:19. Math. 12:40, Mark 9:9. There are but three ways conceiveable by which his body could have been removed from the tomb 1st, By his enemies; 2nd, By his friends; 3rd, By Himself. This he did. If his followers all foresaw a living Saviour, they had not the courage to steal his corpse from under guard of those fearful soldiers, who were to keep awake while on duty under the penalty of death. They did not go near. If removed by his enemies, they have never produced it. For he is risen as he said. Back to life. Thy ransomed beings, smite and scatter all his legions; rob the monster of his sting; Easter morning, Thou did victorious. King! the gates of hell did not yield. They no more thy power withstand. Over death thy scepter yielding, Hold their keys in thy right hand; Thou did rise and take command. King awake! The morn is breaking; sleep no longer with the dead; From the tomb its tenor taking, Death is now a captive led; He is risen! Christ is risen from the dead- King! Thy saints around the bending; Casting palms about the way. Each a diadem extending with what rapture now they say: Hallelujah, Jesus is our King today. A SOLDIER'S LETTER Somewhere in France, March 20, 1919. Mr. Thomas Kennedy, Dear Sir: We received your paper, The Advocate, in France a few days ago, and the men in the 805th Pioneer, "Bear Cats" Regiment were proud to read some interesting news THOS. KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. from home, and concerning the regiment. We have organized a band and the leading members are boys from Kansas City, such young men as Sgt. Cesco Johnson, Sgt. Buddie Hill and Charlie Johnson and many other boys from K. C. The men have played in many principle cities in France, but are anxious to play back in the U. S. A where the home folks can see and hear them. The men all received certificates of merit from the First Army H. Q. for the excellent work performed by them during the Meuse-Argonne offensive. I Company, 805th "Bear Cats" built a railroad from Verennes to St. Juvin, France, under shell fire. The men would load ammunition at night and work with the engineers during the day. Many nights "Fritz," the German airplanes, would come over and shell us and force us to dugouts. We were certainly glad when the armistice was signed and to know that many prayers had been answered. The men have salvaged up the battlefield in the Meuse-Argonne sector and now we are anxiously awaiting for orders to come home. France is a great place back of the war area, where there was no fighting, but up near Montfaucon and in the Argonne-Meuse sector are only shell-torn yillas and walls and many thousands of shell holes. The men are drilling and having school each day, which makes one think of "real old times." The clases run from the first to the ninth grades. The men seem to be interested in their studies. The Headquarters boys have organized a baseball team, called the "Bear Cats." Beverl Fairfax of Kansas City, Kans., is manager-Loyd Day, Dudie Jones, Earnest Phillips, Cliff Jones and Jess Childers are stars from Kansas City. They have won every game they have played with the companies of the 805th located in different cities. Albert Neely is secretary and treasurer of the H. Q. "Bear Cats" baseball team. The French are very hospitable toward/the men and they give us the best of treatment that is shown any soldier. Give my regards to the many friends and I wish your paper a success. Yours, FRANK B. JENNINGS. 805th Pioneer Inf... Medical Detachment, A. E. F., France. DR. LUCAS GIVES STRONG LECTURE Rev. W. A. Lucas, assistant general secretary of the Epworth League of the Methodist church, gave one of the richest and most practical lectures Monday evening, at Sumner High auditorium that has been the pleasure for the citizens of this city to hear for a long time. His subject was, "After the War—Now What" The speaker showed he had been given this subject, which is puzzling the minds of great thinkers of the times, a deep conception of future results. His philosophy could easily be accepted, with a material degree of coming to pass. Dr. Lucas is a brilliant scholar and is considered by his church one of its greatest leaders. He was here under the auspices of the Ninth Street M. E. Church, of which Rev. Sawyer is pastor.

Your Paper THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE MASONS OF KANSAS It is a delightful experience and state of mind to realize that at last the "goat" has done his work and at most he can have but one more possible chance at one. It is the writer's pleasure to have reached and obtained the $32^{\circ}$ in our most ancient and honorable fraternity. It was a pleasant, striking, thrilling sight-seeing journey. Well worth every step of the way. Then to know that the revelations of the trip held out constantly for a better, nobler manhood. We certainly will have a better world to live in if the good men will make a constant effort to exemplify the noble tenents. Then, too, it is high-time that we get on the job. The world is just now in need of the service that we can render. Let us pause and consider who we are and then set to work and do all in our power to bring about a real awareness of human brotherhood. We can do much along this line. We have not lived up to our fullest effort. We must help to send abroad the idea that Masonry is not racial. In the language of one eminent Mason, "We know positively no race distinction. We know no Caucasian whiteness or Ethiopian darkness. We know only man." With thanks to those who' so kindly (?) Ted the writer through the various and thrilling paths and the bewildering shrine with a full realization of "Free at Last," he remains, Obediently, G. A. GREGG, Grand Master of the Masons of Kansas. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Some said it was the vivid portrayal by the publicity committee on the bulletin board of the water representing the place wherein all should be buried and raised up-typifying Christ's burial and resurrection, that drew them; but for the great multitude that assembled on this day, the glory belongs to God. Pastor Holmes preached one of the finest sermons on the "Resurrection" and the choir rendered the following Easter music, with Mrs. W. G. Wood at the organ: Largo (Handel); Folk song, "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?" Folk Song, "He Rose From the Dead," Rosamond Johnson. Before the baptizing, the congregation sang sweetly, "Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow." It was a most beautiful sight to see the many souls buried with Christ by baptism and rise to walk in the newness of life. Among the many, was a little girl, sobbing as if her heart would break, perhaps that is the way the Spirit led her; another young man went in smiling and that was the way the Holy Spirit compelled him to rejoice. But it was all the same, i.e., putting on the whole "Armor of Faith." At 4p. m., at the Citizens Forum at this church, Mr. Samuel Wilson, 'he popular young secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, spoke on "Reconstruction." At 8 p. m., Rev. J. S. Wilson, who assisted in the special meeting, preached his last sermon, from Phil. II-5. The choir and congregation sang beautifully, "The Comforter Has Come," and "I'm a Child of the King." The sermon was full of good advice on not selecting on fine clothes and fine looks, but on the real character of the person. Over 50 have been added to this church in the three weeks' meeting. Twenty-two were fellowshipped at night. The ordinary collection was over $80, and aside from that they presented Evangelist Wilson with about $20. Come next Sunday and hear Pastor Holmes or some other great pulpiteer. Come and "Get Right With God," or join this Christian band. The Excelsior club meets at 950 Oakland avenue. The Sunday school at Metropolitan decorated with ferns. lilacs and other flowers and had a nice Easter program and a large attendance. Mrs. Devan, of Denver, Colo., came here especially to see her son, Mr. Roy Devan, baptized at Metropolitan church. Mrs. Carrie Brown, of Atchison, Kansas, came to see her nephew baptized. We are glad to see Mrs. J. J. Lewis able to be out at church again. Mrs. Bettel Gaines, who has been in Chicago a year, is back to remain here permanently. Mathew Carroll was down from Kansas University Easter visiting his parents, on north Eighth street, ELKS BANQUET TO HONOR GRAND EXALTED RULER Kansas City, Mo.—The newly organized Mid-West Lodge No. 233 gave its first public entertainment at Labor Temple, Friday night, which was one of the most successful affairs of the season. They were honored with the presence of Hon. Armond W. Scott, Grand Exalted Ruler and a leading attorney at Washington, D. C. Mr. Scott was tendered a most delightful banquet on Thursday night at the Cafe de Luxe, attended by about 100 of our most prominent citizens. Hon. T. B. Watkins was master of ceremonies and addresses were made by Messrs. J. J. Mattjoy, Astwood, Payne, L. A. Knox., Dr. E. B. Ramsey, Robt. Wisdom, Williams, Harnis, Wells, St. Clair, Doctor Hayden, Exalted Ruler Gilmore, Nelson C. Crews, Editor Kennedy of Kansas City, Kans., and the guest of honor, Grand Exalted Ruler Armond M. Scott. The menu was up to the high standard of the Cafe de Luxe and Manager McKnight is being highly praised for the sumptuous service. The lodge unanimously voted to ask that the 1920 session be held in Kansas City. A 92ND MAN ON EASTER PROGRAM Prof. Ross, formerly a teacher at Western University, of the 92nd Division, just from France, received an ovation when called upon to speak at the Easter entertainment at the Metropolitan church. Mrs. D. A. Holmes solo received prolonged applause. Mrs. D. Johnson's reading was greatly applauded and Mrs M. C. Matthews, poetical treatise on Easter was loudly applauded and praised for its spirituality and many asked that it be printed. Mrs. Hultz sold $19 worth of tickets and received a pretty, quilt as first prize. STRAUGHTER GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE James Traughter, who on last Thursday killed Lillie Stoltz at her home, 106 South Fifth street, by cutting her throat with a razor, plead guilty to first degree murder last Tuesday in the Second Division, and was sentenced to life imprisonment by Judge Frank D. Hutchings in the state penitentiary. He was taken to Lansing Wednesday night by Sheriff W. J. Wright. MAY FESTIVAL A grand May Festival by 40 little girls of the Yates Branch of the Y. W. C. A.

Dear Pastor, Superintenaent, Members of Mt Olive A. M. E. church and Friends: As a religious festival hold pre-eminently the first place in the church, in the minds and hearts of Christendom today, as it has done through the centuries. It sustains the relation to the other feasts of the church, which the sun sustains to the other planets of our solar system. It is the influential center around which all others revolve, and upon which they all must depend for their orderly adjustment in the yearly calendar of church or religious feasts. They are all fixed and determined by this holy, vivifying and life-giving feasts, which symbolize the resurrection or entering into fuller and nobler life of the blessed Christ as the world's Saviour and Redeemer. Easter is as the sun rising out of a dark night of sorrow, of gloom and despair to flood a new day with its glorious light, warmth and glow of spiritual life, and power.* It is the morning dawn of spiritual illumination for the church and the world. Each recurring Easter kindles a new upon the alter of the human heart, and fires of true friendship, fellowship, love the main spring to our faith and hope in a glorious immortality, and a meeting with those for whom our tears have never ceased to flow, and that we shall see Jesus, who loved us and gave himself to die for, us in that realm where there is no more death. Paul in speaking of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, says: Behold, I show you a mystery. Yes, it is a mystery. We have heard no voice speaking to us from the grave, we have seen no angels from the other world, telling us what lies beyond. But though the resurrection is a mystery, it is a reasonable doctrine. God shows us, daily, how he can raise the dead. Is it any more a mystery or wonderful that God can take our dead bodies from the grave and make angel forms of them, than He can change a seed to a flower, an adorn to an oak, or a worm into a butterfly? Thank God we shall have a day on which the sun never sets, the resurrection day, for if there is no resurrection of the dead, we are of all men most miserable. Oh, blessed Easter, we welcome thee, be- 7:15 and 9:15 P. M. cause and lo glorious and immortal. The Son of Man has conquered Death and won the victory. The everlasting Son of Peace and Happiness has risen and lights up the eternal day, dispelling the awful night of darkness and despair. Oh, Christian hearts, be happy, for Christ has opened the Heavenly gates and invites you to enter in with Him. God grant that we may follow in His footsteps and enjoy the brightness which eradicates from His loving presence. Rejoice ye sons and daughters of God, rejoice. For God's Son, the Lily of the Valley, the Babe of Bethlehem, has risen and declared Himself the God of all earth. Let us praise His name this Easter day.

Yea: and the morn, At the day of the day, God sat in the angel For to all away, And the followed trembling For an earthquake they did see Then the angel rolled the stone back, For to set our Saviour free. With a countenance like lightning, Snow white raiment on him, then, Made the keepers greatly frightened They became just like dead men; And the angel told the women "Ye seek Jesus, who was dead, He's not here, see where they laid He's not here, see where they laid Him!" "He is risen, as He said." But the cruel unbelievers Paid the soldiers all to say, "While asleep d'ciples stole Him," And some say that till today. So eleven of disciples, Who had kept their lamps in trim, Went to Galilee and saw Him And most of them worshipped Him. And He came and spoke unto them Which showed plain his wondrous worth, Said, "Al power is given to Me, All in Heaven and all in earth." "Go ye therefore, teach all nations (Not just those you love the most); Baptize in the name of Father, Of the Son and Holy Ghost." Thus, if we observe true Easter, And Christ's banner we'd defend, He will abide with us always Even till the world shall end. Let us from this Easter Supday Teach sinners to turn from strife; Teach Christ died and rose to Heaven To give all Eternal Life. Don't wait just for special meetings Teach today's the day that's given To accept our Lord and Saviour For to live with Him in Heaven. Where with that great countless number number, When free from this earthly prison, We will sing what angels cannot "We're redeemed for Christ is Risen" (Copyright April 20, \1919.
