KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. Calls Attention to Part the Colored People Had in Winning the War—Now Ask for a Share of World Democracy The Mite Missionary Society of the African Methodist Episcopal church of Kansas and Nebraska held its annual convention at Leavenworth last week. The convention opened at the Bethel A. M. E. church on Kiowa street, where its sessions were held. There were about 200 delegates in attendance at the convention, many of whom were ministers. Women delegates predominated, however, as they are the most active missionary workers. Mrs. T. W. Green of Parsons, Kansas, presided over the sessions of the convention. equity shall predominate our entire nation. "We are yours for justice and fair play in the battle of life." REV. J. R. RANSOM, D.D. REV. J. C. OWENS, REV. J. T. SMITH, MRS. S. BARKSDALE, MRS. E. GENTRY. One of the greatest conventions of the Kansas Conference Branch of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society was held at Bethel A. M. E. church, Leavenworth, Kans., Rev. J. C. C. Owens, pastor. The race riots that are taking place in America, of late are coming in for the serious consideration of the people attending the convention. The delegates were men and women of intelligence and they deeply deplored the rioting and disposition of mobs to assault and shoot down colored people. They had hoped for a new order of things in America after the gallant and patriotic way the members of the colored race joined with the whites in fighting on the battle front and helped win the war. While in session a committee was appointed to draft resolutions expressing the sentiment of the convention on the rioting and mob violence that is going over the country. They made a report that was unanimously adopted, reading as follows: "Resolved; That we deplore the chaotic state that existed in cities and communities, in many of our commonwealths. We had hoped when entering into the great world war for common world democracy that after fully contributing or bonds, war stamps, Y. M. C. A., Red Cross, five in one, seven in one and all other auxiliares, whose purpose was to furnish bone and sinew for this war; supplemented by more than four hundred thousand of the best blood of our race who stood in line ready to obey every order of officers in the nation win this mighty victory that it would guarantee equal rights and protection under the laws of the several nations allied against German philotocracy and militarism. "Many now sleep the long sleep of death which knows no awakening in foreign soil among strangers, while others, returning home are totally impaired for future activities in life. "We had hoped that the American people, regardless of race, creed, politics or previous condition of servitude would forget the segregation, Jim-crowism and prejudices of the past, and that side by side we might labor to the more fuller development of our world democracy by properly readjusting ourselves to new conditions to the proper enjoyment of the promised world democracy. "We call upon the sober and thoughtful, the christian and more intelligent of both races to use every agency and endeavor in keeping with our new testament teachings to put down forever race riots, mob violence and lynch laws. "We further pray that the chief executive of this nation, of our commonwealth and of the municipalities with all others in authority," to enforce the law to see to it that the officers, police, sheriff, deputies, national guard and soldiers, shall treat all, white and black, of whatever race of people that may be involved equal and alike. The order to prohibit the sale of arms, to confiscate arms and ammunition, arrest leaders of squads in race riots or mobs, should apply equally to whites as well as blacks and no discrimination shall be made between white and black in the prosecution for the participation in riots with mobs. "We earnestly pray that this awful cloud that overshadows our mighty republic, beginning at the nation's capital and permeating itself through many of our large cities shall be buried into oblivion and that the light of reason, justice and THE MILO, S SCIETY PASSES RESO- ST RIOTING AND OLENCE the Colored People Had war—Now Ask for a old Democracy equity shall predominate our entire nation.

Green, Jr., and Mrs. Emma Dade were elected delegates to the Quadrennial convention which meets in Jacksonville, Fla., in October. A resolution denouncing race riots, mob violence of every kind was unanimously adopted and sent to the press for publication. The evening session was devoted to a splendid program by the juveniles Addresses of welcome were delivered by the local and Baptist church, which were ably responded to by Presiding Elder J. T. Smith of the Kansas City district. The president delivered her annual address, which was full of thought and inspiration suggestive of ideas sufficient to inspire to nobler endeavors. A resolution was read endorsing the candidacy of the Rev. J. R. Ransom for the Bishopric, which was unanimously adopted. Rev. Ransom was called upon and made remarks relative to the good work of the good pastor and splendid condition of Mother Bethel, after which the convention retired to the church where a splendid reception was given the delegates. The morning second day session opened at 9 a. m. with devotionals. The round table talk proved a great benefit to the delegates. Also the model class of the juveniles was very interesting and inspiring. A paper by Mrs. G. M. Tillman of Fort Scott, was very much appreciated.

O. Midnight Says it Was "Some" Richmond, Va.—Did you know that it was just 300 years ago that we were brought to this country, and were not asked whether or not we wanted to come? Well, that is the case, and I am told that they kidnapped us, hence we are not intruders, but we were intruded on as a business speculation. I don't remember much about it, but I am here just the same with the rest of us. Well, the Baptists have been celebrating the three hundredth anniversary, and believe me it was some celebration from start to finish. It was a Baptist union affair, for connected with it were the General Baptist Association; the Women's Baptist and Educational Convention, Virginia Baptist Sunday School convention, and the Baptist Young People's Union. All of these Baptist folks got strictly together and invited all of the others to join with them in making it a Baptist reunion. They were here as thick as fleas on a dog's back. Being some pumpkins in the Baptist church, I just got my Baptist religion together and came along to be with the rest of them. I am not squash, but pumpkins, hence it will not surprise you when I tell you when I got to town, I just got a wagon to tote all of my things to the HEAR THE WO COLORED ED JOH Better Known HEAR THE WORLD'S FAMOUS COLORED MAGICIAN ED JOHNSON Better Known as "Black Carl" Right from Madison Square Garden New York City Will Appear at SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM Ninth Street and Washington Boulevard THURSDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 14 1919 at 8:30 o'clock General Admission ..... 50c Children's Tickets ..... 25c home of Major J.

He taught in several schools. I met him one time in the St. Augustine school, Lawrenceville, Va. He was major over the boys. He served as secretary in the Y. M. C. A. at Buxton, Iowa. It was in 1909 that this young man discovered where the man of God, had said that it was not good for man to be alone, and he thought Paul or Peter or some one else was talking about him, so he got business like and said, "Lord, thy servant heareth thee and I will obey."

ADVOCATE THOS. KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. KANSAS CITY PASTOR SEES A SETTLEMENT OF RACE PROBLEM IN APPLIED CHRISTIANITY The race problem has become a serious question in this country. It is important that the best classes, the most cultured and thoughtful of both races should get together in an honest, sincere effort to bring about a settlement of this growing menace. The trouble originates with the grossly ignorant of both races. It would seem that the very foundation of Christian civilization is being undermined. The recent outrage and hideous crimes committed recently at Chicago is bringing this great question to the thoughtful attention of all good citizens of both colors. Dr. Robbins, pastor of the Linwood Methodist Episcopal church, in an excellent sermon last Sunday morning, handles the subject in a way that deserves attention. The discourse was reported in the Monday Kansas City Journal as follows: "The sole hope for the successful settlement of the present race problem xistent throughout the world is to be found in the civilization of the New World—more definitely in the civilization of our own nation," stated Grant A. Robbins of the Linwood Boulevard Methodist Episcopal church, Linwood Boulevard and Olive street, in his sermon entitled, "Is Our Civilization Breaking Down?" "There are one and three-fifths billions of people on our planet at this time; over one billion of whom are colored people of the several races other than the Caucasian race. Among the yellow races are found 430,000,000 millions; among the brown races in India are 300,000,000 and in Africa are 300,000,000 of black peoples These millions of men do not include the Japanese, the Filipinos, the Indians, Esquimeaux and smaller races having minor populations. "The hope that the United States has had in settling the race problems of our own nation fell considerably a few weeks ago, when the race riots occurred right under the shadows of the national capitol in Washington. A trying hour is at hand for America in the protection of her own citizens, let alone the protection of peoples of other parts." "The black man is among the oldest citizens in the United States," declared Rev. Robbins. "He is not hyphenated American; he is not an anarchist, and is not trying to change our present form of government. Through his unrequited toil he contribute dto the wealth of the nation as a slave and since he has been free he has materially added to the great progress the South has enjoyed since the time of his emancipation. "The Negro went willingly to France and did his part in the winning of the war. Under these circumstances he is entitled to all the protection that this ration can afford him. I am of the opinion that a national committee should be appointed to be composed of the best white men and black men to be found in the north and in the south to settle the growing problems of the two races in this country. This committee should, to be sure, be made up of the most refined and best intentioned class of citizens. It is only the lower classes of both races that have been causing the present racial troubles. "We, the white people, owe to the black people what strength owes to weakness, what culture owes to illiteracy," continued the Rev. Robbins. "There is at this hour a call for the national conscience, in regard to racial matters, to become Christianized. Christians must offer the solution to such questions and will be called upon in the final analysis to establish and maintain equilibrium among the races of the earth." & New Jersey OR SEES A SETTLE- E PROBLEM IN CHRISTIANITY Side Church Says Civil- States Will End proversies CIVIC LEAGUE GIVES SMOKER IN HONOR LAWYER B. S. SMITH. On Wednesday evening a smoker was given in honor of Mr. B. S. Smith, once a prominent lawyer and citizen of this city, now of Minneapolis, Minn.

Griffin preached a strong and force- ful sermon, and a number joined the church, A nice audience was present at the evening service, when the pastor de- livered another fine discourse. Some are paying in their dollar money unsolicited, and wouldn’t it be nice if every member of the church would just hand in their dol- Jar without asking for it? Sav we just follow the example of those who have paid? 7 The pastor says he is getting aw- fully lonely living in that big house alone. Mrs, Griffin and Miss Alma will soon take that lonesomeness away, as they expect to return about the fifteenth’ of this month, at least they will be coming this way.

July 6—If one should quote to the people of Koko- mo, Ind,, the saying ‘“Lhere is novi- ing new under the sun,” they wouid answer, “That dees not apply to this city, because we, have seen some- thing new.’ The something “So strange and so new” is the attitude of the white people of all classe to- ward the religious campaign being conducted by the people of the A. M.E. church. The meeting is being conducted by the colored people in a large tabernacle tent and, at every service thére are in attendance many more white people than colored. Even before they had sren the ve gelist or heard him, impressed by reading accounts of the services and extracts from the daily napers, th? ministers of the white churches un- -animously voted to give the cam- paign their support and to urge the people to give financial as well as moral support fo the work. Tho ¢ same white preadiers are on the platform every night, and hun? ds of their members are present. Last Sunday, the colored evangelist preached at one of the leading white churches of the city, to a congrega- ‘tion which overflowed the building. At this service, the tabernacle choir sang, an at the'close of the service minister an choi) members, more than thirty of them, all were load « into auto cars and sent home. The two-daily papers are giving colunin after, column of space and sending a reporter to every service to make reports of the services and especi- ally the sermons. The white people are éontributing liberally to the ex- pense of the campaign, and one prominent man volunteered his serv- ices to collect $1,000 for the, expense fund, At the close of each service ‘the white people wait and crowd up | to shake hand swith the evangelist, to congratulate him and thank him for the enlightenment and the assi=- tarice gived. ‘The evangelist in charge of these services and who is able to command the attention and support of all classes of the people, white and colored, is Rev. R. A. Adams, D,D,, of Kansas City, Kan- sas, who just last month received the unanimous approval of the | bishops of the A. MB. chorea —1- in council assembled heard reports | of his work. | Dr. F.

When he had on his hat he was ordered in the car for white folks, and when he pulled it off and his rosary was viisible to the natural eye, then he was ordered with us. But the picture he painted of his mother, as a slave, was enough to move a dead man to tears. Slavery was an awful thing as pictured by Dr. Graham, and like to have made me say "cuss" words right in a Baptist celebration, but I remembered that my religion had me on my good behavior, so I just thought the "cuss" words without expressing them. Is that any sin? I have gone to God for pardon, because in these days I do not want to take any chances. (Continued from Page One) making his friends that, way. Major McGrew is an important factor in this town, and you may say I told you so. But now coming back to the celebration, I called around to get in touch with Dr. Z. D. Davis, pastor of the Second Baptist church, and president of the convention, and he assured we that I was welcome when I told him I was a newspaper reporter, and came to pote for The Advocate, Kansas City, Kansas. "You came from way out there?" he asked me with a look of surprise. Then he put me in touch with a fine looking tall gentleman, Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist church, and chairman of the publicity committee. He is one more cordial man, and he received me just like he was receiving the president of the United States, and introduced me to his wife, who is president of the convention of women. I saw about 3,000 people every night as Richmond turned out in full bloom and the visitors in their Sunday riggins. I heard two great women the second night, because it was called woman's night and presided over by Mrs. Johnson. The speakers were Mrs. Amelia Felton, of Portsmouth, who shall be rpe enough in a few years to pluck as an orator. She has the voice and needs only the experience. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, one of the finest looking women I have ever seen in this race. She has the ability, the brain and the money to back up her looks, because she is president of the St. Luke bank. Now what do you think of a woman president of a bank? She is right there with the goods, and it is a real sure 'nuf bank, and they have some money in it, too. Fixed up just like all the other banks, but all behind them counters belong to this 300 year old American race. She is a wonderful character. The other speaker was Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, and the very mention of her name will tell you that she cleaned up. She is a remarkable woman, and a speaker in keeping with her ability. They heard her gladly. Mrs. Maggie P. Johnson read an original poem, although I had heard some of the things before. Mrs. Johnson is one of the finest women I have met this moon, and she is a good presiding officer, living in the hearts of the women I was delighted to come in touch with such a fine women. Next to the home of Dr. M. E. Davis, of the A. M. E. church, then at night I touch Dr. T. J. King, president of the Virginia Baptist State convention, and a worker from stem to stem. He is one of the men who believes in doing things. I went over to his church at night to hear Charles Stewart, and behold I had to stand up all the time that fellow was talking. He certainly did have a big crowd, and I was some kind of a big man over there to hear what he had to say about "Sambo Waxed Fat and Kicked." The next morning bright and early I was up with my appetite as sharp as a razor, and Mrs. McGrew satisfied it, and then I started in search of the First Baptist church where they were to have their big opening. All the bodies were represented—in fact all were there. This is really the First Baptist church in Richmond, and it is some fine building and large in keeping with its name and opportunity. The father erected well when they were at it. Remember I said the first one in Richmond, of any kind. I noted seated on a high elevation the following presidents: Dr. Z. D. Lewis, of the General Association; Mrs. W. T. Johnson, of the Woman's convention; Prof. W. P. Epps of the Sunday school, and W. E. Riddick, of the B. Y. P. U, he opening presiding officer was Dr G. E. Read, of Covington. They had some songs and prayer, believe me, honey, and they had something to pray for in this world. Three hundred years to trace back, three hundred years of race history to talk about, and all to be done in five days, and then, to place on the altar $25,000 for missions and education, the avenues which had been helpful to the race now 300 years old in the United States, was something to think about. I put on my thinking cap and heard all I could. It would take me a month to tell you all the things I have seen or heard Dr. W. H. Jernagin made a wonderful speech at the meeting Thursday. He is president of the National Race Congress which is to meet in Washington in October. I will tell you about it in my next. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

Wilson's church in Dallas, Texas, for twelve days in August, at Macedonia Baptist church. Rev. S. Bacote and Mrs. Becks and Mrs. M. C.

Bolden, who died one year ago today, August 8th, 1918, in Norfolk, Va. The first hearing were the addresses of welcome, and they were delivered in the latest oratory style, and so much eloquence went way down to my heel and worked a hole in my sox. Then followed the annual addresses of these presedients I have been talking about, and they certainly did walk about Zion They made me feel proud of my race. I was thinking about trying to pass, for a lady told Mrs. Norene Davis down in Kansas that she thought I could pass, but there is no power now that could get me away from this race. You must not mistake me for a white man any more. Just be me abide with this history-making race. Dear mother you are gone, but we can never forget you. Your loving daughters, MRS. J. T.

Services for the day were good. Rev. Ronenee preached at 3 p. m. The Presiding Elder, Rev. Terrill preached at 8:30; one convert united to the church. Collection for the day $44.88 and for the quarter, 359.88. I am one among the many who have come to the conclusion this great church of our scannot succeed in the hands of our young ministers as with the fathers of ripe experience. Push the old men aside and the church will lose its power. Give us ripe men for delegates to the General Conference; ripe men for bishops. I am a friend of the young ministers, for God, for Him, and the church, let the office seek the man. And let us send men to the general conference that will reflect credit to the entire church, for what they are have done for many years, and not what I did in two or three years. J. A. BROADNAX. Pastor. After all the speeches were over then they served something to eat in th lecture room to over a thousand people free of charge and there was plenty left after it was all over. God be thanked for this all. In the afternoon the following churches were used for separate meetings: Sharon Baptist church, General Association; Sixth Mt. Zion, Woman's Baptist Educational and Missionary convention; Ebenezer Baptist church, Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. They all appointed necessary committees, and got themselves together. Each day such meetings were held, but at night one big meeting was held in the city auditorium. The first meeting was staged for Mayor of Richmond and Governor of Virginia to speak, but these distinguished gentlemen were not present nor did they send a substitute. The mayor sent a letter, but that big state man did not send even a little wind. He did not deem it necessary, I guess. Mrs. Mary Glover-Nichols of Hutchinson, stopped off on her return from the State Mite Missionary society at Leavenworth with her daughters and friends here for several days. Mrs. Nichols is looking extra well and her many friends, were glad to see her. I wish you could have heard the other speeches, and Dr. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus, Va. He is some orator, but he declared that he did Mrs. Carrie Martin, 3338 Walker visited her sick brother at Centropolis, Mo., Sunday. A. B. C. D.
