MIDNIGHT GOT AWAY FROM NEW YORK TO DURHAM SOME TEACHERS NEED FORE SIGHT, HE DECLARES Durham, N. C.—Some men are just born to do things, and others just do things because they were born, and I am going to get you to decide about some of them this week, and if you can't decide then you will be in my debt If I go out and find something for you then you should be able to use it. The Rev. Dr. Sampson Brooks of Baltimore, has been a puzzle to me. He just goes right to your heart, and if you have any money in your pocket, when he is through looking at you and talking about God's money, you are just willing to dump it on the table and say "Lord, take all I have, for thou alone can see that I get more." I looke dat him the other day just talk to people in Bethel A. M. E. church of which he is pastor, and they just stayed in church all night, and when they got through in the morning there was on the table $30,018.50, and I never saw so much money in all my life. I am glad that Jesse James or Bob whatever his name was, were not there then, for they would have been'enjoying themselves now with that cash. This is the largest amount ever raised at any one time by any one church of our race, and it like something like the doing of white folks. I just looked and looked at that money, and I think that if I had the gun and the cheek, I would have rushed in with hands up and got that money and went off for a big time. That would not have been right, but when a fellow wants to rob you, it is not a question with him of right or wrong. Money- and money only. That is his Jesus, his life, and for it he is willing to kill or get killed if necessary. Now I predict that after this year you are going to see Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, and then he will devote his time to going among his preachers and teaching them how to raise money. He knows the art, and perhaps would make a good instructor. He divided his church up into 16 units, and I don't know what you mean by units, except that they were the members in mock conferences, and each conference had one bishop, presiding elders and pastors, and they reported just like they would in an annual conference, and it took all night to hold conferences. Now you have it. It will.not be long before the people will get down to real (Continued on Fourth Page) Phone Bell West 255 PAGE TWO THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. C. P.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES At 11 a. m., Pastor Holmes preached an inspiring sermon to a very large audience and some joined the church. Among them was a sick man, who wished to receive Baptism according to John, the forerunner of Christ. It was the most pathetic baptism that has been in the Temple. The pastor had to take him in his arms, he was so weak; many were deeply touched. At 3 p. m., in response to an announcement in the Star. a mass meeting of relatives and friends of the 805th Pioneer Infantry, A. E. F., was held and a part of the reception committee and of other committees were appointed to help entertain "our boys" of that division, when they arrive here. The people came early into the Temple at 8 p. m., to hear Rev. Van Lieu, the state missionary, preach. He preached somewhat like Billy Sunday. Very plain facts on the shortcomings of some so-called Christians; but delivered his sermon in a very witty manner, which kept the audience laughing. But he preached the truth and again some united with the church The collection for the day was large. Come to this church this Sunday, June 29, and hear two more good sermons. The rich, the poor, the great and small are ever welcome to our Temple. The Sunday School, Mission Circle, Excelsior Club and Sewing Circle are doing well. Sunday, July 6, is a special well; have you got $5 or more to giev to God's cause? BIBLE CLASS AND VESPERS. The Bible Class had a pleasant meeting and Mrs. Dora Johnson was appointed and led it on that date. She also sang a pathetic solo. Miss Cora Jones will also lead at the next meeting Wednesday, July 2nd, at the "Y." Leson is Luke XXII. Come at 7:30 p. m. VESPERS. The Vespers service a t4 p. m. was a very interesting meeting. Mrs. J. H. Clayborne secured Rev. Sawyers of the Ninth Street M. E. church, and he made a beautiful address on "Anti-Christ in the War." You ought to have heard him. The Vesper singing was good and Miss W. Turner had a solo, and was accom-Zpanied by Miss Strawther. Mesdames N. Wlison and Sawyers were visitors, but they joined. This Sunday at 4 p. m. another noted person will speak. Come, 'tis Biblical and literary. Those who attended, the District Conference at Fort Scott last week were: Rev. J. F. Griffin, Rev. N. B. Robinson, Mrs. Alice Browne, Rev Albert Browne, Editor Thomas Kennedy, Mrs. J.T. Smith, Misses Mae McClelland, Alma Griffin, Cecile Carroll and Agnes James. Mrs. J. A. Brown and daughter of Quindaro left Tuesday for an extended trip to Colorado Springs, Denver and other points. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

CHURCH NEWS A very large audience was present at the morning service to hear Dr. Griffin deliver a most excellent sermon, when at the close a number conected themselves with the church, and five joined at the evening service. Miss Alma Griffin made the report to the Sabbath school of the Sunday School convention in Fort Scott last week, and it was one that would be hard to equal. The congregation has not fallen off since going to the lecture room, but every one is anxious to get back in their regular place of worship, and it won't be long, as the contractor, Mr. Jackson, is a pusher. All the time Sunday is a big day at First A. M. E., when the $10,000 rally comes off. Every effort is being made this week to go "over the top.' A church carnival is being held around the church this week with great success and lots of fun. The pastor is the busiest man in town this week, rounding up his forces for the final day. Every member that has any church pride will come up with their assessment. Mr. and Mrs. Houston of Los Angeles, Calif., old members of this church, sent in $5.00 this week to the editor, for the rally. Some are more interested in the church out of town than members right here at home. The editor wishes to thank Mr. and Mrs. Houston for their contributions. Bishop Parks, president Peck, of Western University and other noted men will be present Sunday to assist in the rally. Three services will be held Sunday. MT.PLEASANT BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. J. R. Richardson, Pastor. The Bible Class at 10:30 was well attended and the pastor taught the lesson which was very interesting and instructive. We had two visitors present at this meeting. Rev. Lewis of Oklahoma preached for us at 11 o'clock and gave us a grand and noble sermon. This being our monthly contest between the women and men as to which could raise the most money for the church, the service was turned over to them. Sister Ford, the valient leader of the women, made her plans for concerted action, promising that the old flag should never go down to defeat. Brother Harris, our Goliath, the stalwart leader of the men, then called his army to attention and informed them that they must not retreat, but to die facing the enemy. The fight was on and at the close of the first heat the women seemed to have the most points, however, they retired to consult and prepare for the final struggle at the evening service, 8:30 p. m. After listening to a wonderful sermon by the pastor the women charged upon the men and when the smoke of battle had cleared it was found that the women had put the men to rout. Sister Ford and her array of women raised $154.85. Bro. Harris and the men raised $101.21. Brother Durham, who was looking after the stragglers and deserters, raised $34.49. The total for the day was $290.55. The D. V. B. school will open at the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church June 30. All the children are invited to attend; the sessions will only last 2½ hours each day. Every parent should co-operate with us to make the school a success. Everyone is looking forward with joy to the coming of teh 805th Pioneer Regiment, which is due to arrivein our city for a celebration in honor of their return from France about the 6th of July. Great preparations are being made to give them one of the most rousing and enthusiastic welcomes that has been given in Greater Kansas City. debut in a recitation at an annual sermon, written for her by Mrs. M. C. Matthews; her mother will have it printed son. Mrs. Matthews has many poems, but little Agnes James was the first child she wrote one for. Little Mayday Gayden does some interpretation, which she does not do herself. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE C. M. E. CHURCH. The Sunday school opened at the usual hour, 10 a. m., and was very well attended, there being a noticeable increase. All of the teachers and the superintendent were in their places at the opening. Th ecollection was $4.68. The morning services were conducted by Bishop N. C. Cleaves. who preached a wonderful sermon, full of the spirit and Holy Ghost. There were many visitors present. The church was taxed to its capacity. The church was decorated with palms and cut flowers in honor of our distinguished guest, the Bishop. The Junior Stewardess Board was appointed by the pastor to collect the general funds. They were successful in collecting $15.00. The Auxiliary Board met last Thursday, June 10th, at the home of Mrs. Nettie McClemmons, 341 Virginia avenue, where we were served very daintily. The Stewardess Board No. 1 meets at the residence of Mrs. Commodore, Friday afternoon. The Junior Stewardess Board will meet at the home of Mrs. Flossie Rogers, Fourth and Haskell avenue, Wednesday. The evening service was conducted by the pastor, who as usual preached a noble sermon. The Presiding Elder, Rev. R. P. Tyler, of the Missouri District, was in attendance at our morning service. The collection for the day was $69.00. WERE UNABLE TO MEET THE BOYS. Major D. A. Holmes and Mr. Nathan Thatcher were scheduled to go to New York this week to meet the 805th Pioneer Infantry, which landed there yesterday, but conditions were of such, over which they had no control, they did not make the trip. Major Holmes is the leading spirit here in the reception which they are to receive upon their arrival in this city. SWINGING A CLUB. Our police officers look good in their new uniforms, although they were on many marches before they got them. While wearing clothes is not awkward to them, but it will take a little practice, before the swinging of the club can be gracefully twirled. Prof. G. A. Gregg, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is in Cleveland, O, this week, attending the National meeting, which opened last Sunday for a weeks session. Prof. Gregg is on the program Saturday evening. Mr. Henry Reed of Pocatello, Idaho, who formerly lived in this city, is here on a visit and says he is doing well in Idaho, as many others are also doing. Mr. Reed is well known in both Kansas Cities and his many friends hope that his stay will be one of pleasure. Mr. Reed is advising many of us that we should try a change by coming to Pocatello. He is a great lodge man and has succeeded in organizing a Masonic lodge in Pocatello, which is under this jurisdiction. The A. F. & A. M. are preparing for one of the grandest affairs of the season on the Fourth of July at Heathwood Park. All the Masonic orders in the states of Kansas and Missouri have been invited to come and celebrate. A very elaborate program has been arranged; also plenty of music and refreshments. Mrs. Wright, son and daughter, arrived in the city from Nashville, Tenn., last Friday Mrs. Wright is the wife of the rector of the Church of the Ascension. We extend to the family our heartiest welcome and hope that their sojourn with us may be one of great help and uplift. The Sunday School convention which met at King Solomon Baptist church was very largely attended and all of the out of town guests were well pleased with their entertainment. Rev. G. N. Jackson, our old schoolmate, who is now pastoring in Lawrence, Kans., was in our city last week in attendance of the Sunday School convention. He reports that he is doing well in his church duties at Lawrence. The residence of Mr. Ray, 325 Troupe, was struck by lightning during the rain storm Sunday afternoon and did damage to the amount of $250. Fortunately no one wsa injured.
