E. church, which was held at St. James A. M. E. church, North Lawrence, June 11-13 inclusive. It was generally conceded that this was the best session ever held in the history of the district. The many papers read and discussed were rich, rare and interesting. The attendance was good. The reception given by the pastor and congregation was a grand affair, the program was a literary treat. Brothers Snell and Hooker were elected lay delegates to the annual conference. Professor Wade, District Superintendent of the Sunday School department, who has served for a number of years, offered his resignation at this session, to the regret of all the ministers and delegates. Mrs. Mollie Aldridge-Seaborn, of Junction City, was elected to succeed him. Miss Clara Alexander was elected superintendent of the Allen League department.

You are most cordially invited to our big rally, Sunday, June the 22nd. THE FLOWER TREE THE MASTER OF THE GRAMMOPHON All day. We are not losing sight of the spiritual side of this service. For great preparations are being made to have a great time, and we don't want you to miss it. All of the Ministerial Alliance of Greater Kansas City and vicinity have been invited and a larger part Tent Meeting NEW YORK SUBWAY AND CITY'S DRESS GETS J. O. New York City.—Have you ever been to New York? This is one of the most dressingest places I have ever since since I have been hanging in this sin-cursed world, and I don't know just what else to say to you, but I will have it out another time. It is hard for me to tell you just where I was when I wrote you that last letter, but I do know that I have been knocking around in Virginia, the guest of J. S. Jones, a young banker, and then I have seen a new kind of bank open. It is called the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company. I have never seen that trust business before connected with our banks, and just think of it, they had on hand $150,000 on the opening day, and is destined to be in the ranks of the millionaire concerns in our race. I want to see the time come when our banks will have their millions just like other banks and people. We have some people of this race who have made money, but I have only made time. Some people have gotten rich, when they could write their checks for thousands of dollars and the man will just hand you down the dough. We have just laid to rest up here one woman who has made her dollars, and just at the time she was ready to enjoy her earnings she had to cash in and now she is at rest. Of course her beautiful home will be enjoyed by her daughter and others who are connected with the family of the late Mme. C. J. Walker. But this has been going on in the world ever since it was a world. There was a man they read about in the Bible who was an educated man, and he said something like this: "No man liveth unto himself and no man dieth unto himself." He knew what he was talking about and I call him a wise man. He was wise without being a Solomon, and you may say I told you. I have been to Washington, N. C., and from there to Washington, D. C., the guest of Dr. W. H. Jernagin, and spoke at that big church, known as Metropolitan A. M. E. church. Dr. C. M. Tanner is pastor. Dr. Tanner was not there, but I got in and was the pastor for one day. Dr. B. F. Watson was there for a little while, but he did not remain. He is not well. Then I move on down the road, I know you are acquainted with Dr Tanner. He is the brother to the artist and the son of Bishop B. T. Tanner. But he is some pumpkins himself. He has made his own name and the world will know him before he leaves it, and now they are talking about him to take the position of (Continued on Third Page) of them will be present. of them will be present.

We are striving to be able in the near future in a tangible way, to help more of our colored orphans and old people.

Quite a few of our young men are leaving this week for the Kansas harvest fields, where they expect to get some of the country air and amass a small fortune. There is nothing like the country, boys. Get away from the bright lights. We are glad to shake hands with our old friend and tutor, Mr. Chas. Tull, 329 Troup avenue, who spent the week end with his wife, Mrs. Dottie. Mr. Tull is one of the old hotel men and is still in business. He is now at St. Joseph, Mo. ADVOCATE FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1919. SOUTHWESTERN DIVISION OF RED CROSS TO MEET The first important meeting of chapter workers of the Southwestern Division, American Red Cross, to be held since the signing of the armistice will convene in St. Louis on June 16, at which time national and division officials will outline the future peace program of the organization. The St. Louis conference will be the first of a series of three such meetings, the second to be held at Dallas, Tex., on June 18 and the third at Wichita, Kan., on June 20. Among the important visitors at each conference will be Dr. Livingston Farrand, chairman of the central committee, American Red Cross, and Willoughby Walling, vice-chairman of the committee. Other speakers will be Maj. George W. Simmons, manager of the Southwestern Division of the Red Cross, and Alfred Failbank, acting manager of the division. Maj. Simmons, who recently returned from Russia, where he head a Red Cross commission to Siberia, will tell of conditions in Russia and what the Red Cross is doing there. Definite announcement already has been made that the American Red Cross will conduct a drive for funds during the two weeks terminating November 11. The reasons for the drive as well as facts relating to the use of the money will be outlined at the conferences. The American Red Cross as a peace-time activity will continue along definite lines, under departments of First Aid, Home Service, Junior Membership and Nursing. Through these four departments the Red Cross will strive to educate the children to a recognition of their responsibilities as citizens of this country and the world, to bring to individuals and groups an appreciation of the value of Safety First and First Aid, to bring to communities the opportunity of having better health and immunity from diseases, and to make possible, particularly in those communities where no provision has been made, a higher standard of living. To carry on this work throughout the entire world the League of Red Cross Societies was recently formed in Paris, the purpose of which is to unify the Red Cross societies of the world in a systematic effort to anticipate, diminish and relieve misery produced by disease and disaster. Red Cross societies of the United States, Great Britain, Italy nad Japan are founder members of the League. The objects of the League, as formally set forth in its articles of association are: 1. To encourage and promote in every country in the world a duly authorized voluntary National Red Cross organization, having as purposes the improvement of health, prevention of disease and mitigation of suffering throughout the world, and to secure the co-operation of such organizations for these purposes. 2. To promote the welfrae of mankind by furnishing a medium for bringing within reach of all people the benefits to be derived from present known facts, and new contributions to science, and medical knowledge and their application. 3. To furnish a medium for coordinating relief work in case of great national or international disasters. NEW UNDERTAKING FIRM. Messrs. Benjamin S. Stovall and Raymond Welton, both finishing in the class of 1915 of Sumner High school, and Mr. Stovall finishing a couple of years later from one of our best embalming schools, has opened up an office and show room at 316 Nebraska avenue. These two young men are home boys and are from two of our best families. They are well equipped, in every respect, to serve the public and are competent funeral directors and licensed embalmers. They are nicely prepared to give auto or horse-drawn conveyances. We wish these two young men every success in their chosen profession. Mr. W. L. March, who lost his legs in an explosion while employed by the Kansas City Railways, Co., died from his wounds and was buried from Mt. Zion Baptist church Sunday afternoon.

NINETEENTH ANNUAL SESSION OF B. Y. P. U. OF KAN. The State B. Y. P. U. convention convened with King Solomon Baptist church Tuesday, June 17th, at 9:30 a.m. The service was opened with song praise. Mrs. C. A. Nichols, the efficient president, called the meeting to order and with some timely remarks. The meeting opened for the dispatch of business. The enrollment, committee was appointed and preceded to compile their report. The program for the two days was read and adopted. The convention was treated to a fine solo by Louisa McNeal of this city. The introductory sermon was very eloquently preached by Rev. Lee, of the Mt. Zion Baptist church. The offering was taken after remarks by the members of the convention. The meeting was adjourned to meet at 2 p.m. Miss Elsie Lewis, Olathe, Kans., and Mr. Harry Walker of Olathe, Kans., conducted the afternoon session. Miss Jessie Cave of Kansas City, Kans., gave us a very fine reading. The vocal solo of Miss Nettle Wilson was very appropriate. The district held a conference at 2 p.m. Rev. S. E. S. Watson of Topeka preached, after which Miss Myrtle Hawkins delivered the oration, which was just grand. He used for his subject, "The Negro and the Coming Order." Mrs. S. H. Winston of Chanute gave us an excellent paper, subject, "Model B. Y. P. U. and its Place and Purpose." The paper showed that the writer had studied. The evening service was called to order by the president. First was the welcome address by Mrs. Warfield of this city, which was responded to by Miss Ruth Wilson of Independence, Kans. Miss Lucile Baker rendered a beautiful piano solo. The president's address was one that we would have been glad to be able to publish. It was full of good facts. Miss Zemia Bradford of Atchison, Kans., favored us with a beautiful solo which was very inspiring. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. P. C. Crutchfield of Fort Scott, Kansas, after which some remarks were made, which the city reporter, Mr. C. P. Swancy, was introduced and a motion was made that he be given a reporter of the week. The Wednesday session was very interesting, throughout the whole. A Bible institute was held, subject, "Tithings; How to Tithe and Why." There were several good musical numbers rendered and good papers Miss Carrie Gray, of Atchison, rendered a most beautiful piano solo. Rev. J. W. Clay and his members made the convention a success in the social way and we all leave with the regrets that we cannot remain longer and partake of your hospitality. The King Solomon Baptist church is entertaining the Sunday School convention and B. Y. P. U. at their church, Third and Garfiel I. Quite a large delegation is expected. The public is cordially invited to attend all sessions. Rev. J. R. Richardson, the pastor of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, visited the church in Salisbury, Mo., last Sunday. He reported a pleasant trip. REV.WRIGHT IS WELCOMED TO THE HOME CITY The people of Kansas City, Kansas, are glad to welcome the Reverend Elmer M. M. Wright as priest-in-charge of the Church of the Ascension, Kansas City, Kansas, who succeeds the Reverend M E. Spatches who has recently entered upon a larger field of service in the Church of Our Merciful Saviour, Louisville, Ky. Communicants as well as friends of the Church of the Ascension are inspired by the coming of an enthusiastic young man into a field filled with great possibilities of service. Father Wright is a Virginian. After having graduated from the seminary, he served the early parch of his ministry in Houston, Virginia. He then received a call to become pastor of St. Andrew's church, Lexington, Ky., where he served for two years. While serving as missionary in charge of St. Andrew's church, and principal of St Andrew's Kindergarten, he was advanced to the priesthood on the 24th of June, 1919, in St. Andrew's church, by the Right Reverend Lewis W. Burton, D.D., Bishop of Lexington. Not quite one year after his ordination to the priesthood, he received a call from the Bishop of Tennessee to the rectorship of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Nashville. It is interesting to note that the new rector of the Church of the Ascension, while serving as rector of the church of the Holy Trinity, Nashville, answered the nation's call for men On the 21st of February, 1918, he received his commission from the President as second lieutenant chaplain in the United States army. He was among the first colored army chaplain to embark for "overseas," sailing from New York, Mar-16, 1918, and the only colored Episcopal priest to serve in France in that capacity. He comes to Kansas City, Kansas, from the army. Father Wright has had quite an experience while administering to the spiritual welfare of the boys on the other side and has many interesting anecdotes to tell the public as to his travels, experiences in and impression of the war and the French people. The public is invited to be present at the fifth anniversary of the celebration of his ordination to the sacred ministry to be held in the Church of the Ascension, corner Stewart avenue and Third street, North, Kansas City, Kansas, Sunday, June 29th, both at 11 a.m. and 8 p. p. A sacred musical will be rendered at 8 p. m., with special selections sung by some of the leading local talent at which time the rector will deliver an interesting address on "My Trvaels, Experiences in, and Impressions of Heroic France" Rev. A. Wayman Ward, the brother of our dental surgeon, Mr. T. V. Ward, passed through the city from Colorado Springs, where he is pastoring, enroute to Cincinnati, Ohio, as a delegate to the N. A. A. C. P. National Association. The Christian church at Eighth and Everett will have a bazaar beginning Wednesday night. The ladies have quite a fine lot of things to offer to the public: THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, ‘Editor and Prop. __ . GA. GREGG, : Amsociate Editor. _—_— . c.

Dr. Griffin delivered a forceful and living sermon to the parents and their children, it being Children’s Day. The entire Sabbath school re- mained for this service. Six children and one adult were baptized, and several joined the church. : While some six or seven hundred were fairly comfortable in the lec- ture room, there were not one €X- pressed themselves as wanting to worship there any length of time, and many paid in on the rally that had been delaying it until the last Sunday, that it might progress the work on the auditorium, so” they might get back upstairs sooner. ‘The children rendered an excellent program at 8:30 p. m., consisting of ‘recitations, piano-violin selections and vocal music, it being Children’s Day. The labor mass meeting at 3 o'clock was an interesting one and those who were not present missed two helpful and eloquent addresses. ‘Attorney Callaway of the Missouri side, gave a short address pertaining to the Dr. Bunday case, and Editor N.C. Crews, as usual, made an ad- dress that aroused the manhood of every race-loving person present. ‘The pastor and delegates will tel you something about the District Conference Sunday.

Many could not quench the Spirit and gave audible utterances. At the close of the sermon, he Jed the con- gregation in singing one of the beau- tiful old intelligent hymns, “O that I Knew a Secret Place, Where I Might Fiid My God,” and several wept and praised the Lord, while some united with the church. At 2 p,m, the pastor preached Mr. Ballance’s funeral at Welborn Community church. At 8 p. m., he preached a pathetic sermon from Jer. 820, “The Har- vest is past and the summer is end- ed.” It had the desired effect, and some entered God’s vineyard. At the termination of the sermon the choir led the people in singing “Come Thou Fount,” and “The Fountain Lies Open;” the old hymn was so beautiful that some came to the Fount. Large collections were lifted and the pastor ‘hastened to Mount Zion church to preach for Rev. Wil- liams. A capacity audience was there to hear this most popular min- ister preach his fourth sermon in one day. It was from Gen. 3:15: “The Seed of the Woman shail bruise the serpent’s head.” It was deep and powerful, but his throat began to fail a little and he did not finish it all; but, our Pastor Holmes is said to be leading a too strenuous life; ie, he has more calls for reaching and speaking than possi- bly any minister in the two cities. ‘Mrs. I. V. Brown has asked the publicity committee to assist in ar- ranging a public program for the Mission Circle. Mrs. D, A. Holmes, Deacon Ford, Mr. Calhoun, Mrs. M. C.

A memorial tree In every Baptist churchyard in the Unlted States to commemorate establishment of re- gious freedom and soul liberty Is the Dlan of the Roger Williams National Memorial committee of the District of Columbia, The committee, which Is in charge of the drive to ralse a fund for the erection in Washington of the Roger Willams memorial, announced it would ask every congregation in the country to plant a memorial tree. “The tree stands for life,” says a Statement from the committee {ssued at the Washington headquarters, “and as the American Foresty association is urging the planting of memorial trees in honor of the American sailors and soldiers who gave their lives that po- Utleat freedom should not perish from the earth, so we will ask that trees be planted tn honor of Roger Williams who worked and suffered that religious Uberty might be woven Into the na: tlonal fabric of America.” Pacific Blockade. “Pacific blockade” is a term {nvent. ed by Hautefeullle, the French writer on international maritime taw, to de. serihe a blockade exercised by a great power for the purpose of bringing pressure to bear on a weaker state without aetual war, ‘The pacific block- ade has apparently established itself as a legitimate means of coercing a weak power to observe Its interna- tlonat obligations without resorting to war for that purpose. It fs a modern. development and has usually been the act of several powers acting in concert. It was first employed in 1827, when the combined fleets of Great Britain, France and Russta blockaded a por- uon of the Turkish coast. More re- cent Instances of Its exercise were the blockade of Crete by the powers In 1897, the blockade of Venezuelan ports by Great Britain, Germany and Italy In 1902 and of Turkish ports by the powers in 1905.

Wright, manager, Would be a good thing, but there is Rev. J. G. Baker, of Florida, who is going to be before the church for Position of manager. I am not par- ticular just what it shall, be for Ba- ker is a good man, Wright is a good man, and I know Tanner would give to his church a real religious paper. He would make the space count for information to the church. The Christian Recorder should be equal to the Southwestern. Christian Ad- vocate or any othey. religious paper, and then-it should go into the homes of the members of the church. So |many times these men think if they can just go to the annual conference extract from the pockets of the min- isters the annual subscription, then they can sit down. They do not hus- tle to get the paper into the homes of the people. s But now to New York. I left Washington, stopped over one night with Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, and I may devote my whole letter to him next week, hence will cut short this week. He was glad to see me, and he is getting ready to tell the world something. I talked with him, and had a man to tote me down to the station. Got on the wagon and rode to Philadelphia, where I called to see some friends, and got in a bed ear, headed for New York. I do not know when that old iron horse pulled off his-cargo, but I got up next morning and I was in a great big house. It looked to me like a young city. I told a man where I wanted to go, and he toted my trunks around and put me on another wagon which he called the subway. I don’t know why he called it any such name as that, but it was just like them things I rode on in Boston. It just grunted land looked to me like it was going to run its ool brains out. You, will agree with me when’ I tell you that it was going at the rate of a mile a minute under the ground. You could not see anything, and I tried to hear myself grunt, but could ‘not. It was a few seconds before they announced 135th street. I was real dizzy for a while, but got my- self together, walked down to 14ist street, went into a fine building and was ushered around to apartment |five, and pushed a button, and it -|looked to me the heaven bells were |ringing. There rushed to the door a little woman, who announced her- '|self as Mrs. Matthew Anderson. She | was at one time Angie Gray, a grad; |uate from Normal A.-& M. coltege under the late William H. Council. Now, Couneill was a remarkable man, and those who went to ssrual under him had their share of it. Mrs. Anderson was one of the brightest young women who came out of the linstitution. She is the wife of Mat- thew Anderson, a well trained young man. He is an expert in his line, rnd is kept busy all the time. She is 2 clerk in the office of James E. Foe, real estate and insurance line But I am saying all this to tell lyou that she threw open her door jana told me to toté myself right in, and, I did not fail in walking ir, and scon both of them were busy ectting jaguetting ready for my eternity. They are some of the cookingest peo- :ple I have ever known in this wrold. She went to work, and I weat out to paint the town red. I pus around [my neck my bandana, and used an- other one to wipe my face, and wore 1a blood red tie, and from dirt my i white collar was in morning. It seem- ed that all people I met stopped and {Tooke at me, and I heard one wo- | man say “There goes a crazy man!” j} told her to go where it was pepet- ual summer, and where the wind was [never mown -to blow, and- in reply 'She said, “You naughty ald felolw you.” She said that*she had fallen in love with me and I never felt so much like laying my religion on the shelf for a few minutes and invest a few real cuss words, but I just trust-_ ed j nthe Lord and He kept me. | I had $14 and it looked to me as if I would have to take it out every five pi and count it to see that it On ear ce Ran ae eee may PAGE THREE in New York without money and Without price, for I had only $4 left, and put it in the bottom of my shane. Iwalked so looking for the man who had my ten-spot, until the sweat from my feet just caused’ the money to break all up, and I am told there is a government place where they, will make good, and ‘shall go there tomorrow: ® In the evening I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs. J. H, Sat= terwhité. He is a railroad man, and she formerly-taught in Birmingham, But réSighed to accept his hand in matrimony I shall tell you about them in ‘another letter. Now I had’-a large evening with the young people. Mr, Anderson furnished the cash, for my money had melted away the first day in town. He toted me around ,and I spoke to almost every fellow I met on the street. I told men and wom- jen to get out off the way and let my front go by. The children followed me like I was a whole show. Mrs. Anderson got ashamed: Miss Lulu 'D. Hopkins, anéther Normalite, was jon hand, Now, Miss Hopkins is some piano-playing musician, and still she is putting it into her head. ‘She is one more refined and cultured young woman. Her father is con- nected with the Normal,right this minute, and she is here finishing up her musical education. She is what ‘you call a technical musica} school.
