KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. A. C. E. LEAGUE, CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. It was my pleasure to visit the Christian Endeavor society in Atchison, Kansas, October 5. Mr. Brown is president. It is in promising condition. On October 19 I found the Endeavor active in Leavenworth, Kansas. Miss Marshill is president. Rev. Billips in Atchison and Rev. Owens in Leavenworth are doing church work of a high order. October 26 I will be with Rev. T. W. Green and his good people. November 2, I shall be with Rev. J. T. Smith in our old tramping ground of student memory, Lawrence, Kansas. Am delighted with the way the ministers and members are becoming interested in the Christian Endeavor work. October 12 I assisted in organizing the Christian Endeavor of Western University. Mr. Wisner is president. Our topic for October 26: "The Health of China," is interesting and will pay us for careful study. One-third of the world's population is Chinese. Diseases of all kinds prevail. Superstitution abounds, making it hard to give medical aid. They think that if a teaspoonful will help, the whole bottle taken at once will cure. But the work of medical missions has done much to help Christianize China. Study these interesting people. Please let me know what Sunday you desire my visit to your church. Dates are lengthening into weeks ahead. G. A. GREGG, Superintendent A. C. E. League of the Kansas Conference. DOUGLASS HOSPITAL CLUB MEETS AT MRS. COLES. The Douglass Hospital Club of Allen Chapel, met last Friday afternoon October 17th, at the home of Mrs. Coles, 1608 East Tenth street, the president, Mrs. Jenkins, being out of the city. Mrs. Brown, vice-president, presided. After the regular order of business was completed, Rev. J. F. Griffin of the Kansas side, being present, was called upon, who commended the ladies of this club for the noble work they were doing for this institution. Mr. Kennedy, editor of the Advocate, of the Kansas side, also made some encouraging remarks. After remarks of gratitude by several of the members, a delicious luncheon was served by Mrs. Coles. The next meeting will be held in the lecture room of Allen Chapel Friday, October 31st, when the ladies will complete a quilt and serve dinner. All who are interested in this, our own institution, for humanity, are welcome. MASQUERADE FOR ALL. On next Tuesday evening, October 28th, at M. & O. Hall, corner of Eighth street and Washington boulevard, one of the biggest and finest masquerades will take place ever seen in this hall. It will be given by Mid-West Company No. 2, Stringer Company No. 11 of the Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias, and the famous First Regiment band. It is said, some of the most elaborate costumes will be seen on this occasion, that can be found in the two cities, there being good prizes awarded to the finest mask couples. Up to this date hundreds of tickets have been sold and by the time the doors open, hundreds of more will be in the hands of the people of Greater Kansas City.

ALL---Today, 4 p THE PEOPLE'S MERCANTILE COMPANY. The People's Mercantile Company held election last Friday evening, October 17, and the following named officers were elected for the ensuing year: W. G. Banks, president. N. B. Robinson, secretary. Dr. J. G N Soanes, assistant secretary. C. W. Comagors, treasurer. L. W. Johnson, attorney. Auditing Committee—Dr. A. Porter Davis, chairman; Dr. S. M. Banks, Attorney Dorsey Green. Inventory Committee—James A. Griffin, chairman; R. B. Brown, J. G. Groves. The People's Mercantile Company is now incorporated and is ready to do a big business. Every man and woman far and near should have a share in this company. Prepare a place for that boy or girl, when they are out of school. This is truly the greatest move that ever has been brought about in the history of this state for the benefit of our race. What have you got to say now? You said you were going to wait until they incorporated. They have did that. Now, what are you waiting for, doubting Thomas? I presume you are waiting for the time to come when they don't need you at all. and then try to butt in, but it will be too late, old boy. Procrastination is a thief of time; you had better hurry if you want any of these shares at $5.00 per share, for they will soon go sky high. In four more week this great mercantile company will open its doors at 418 Minnesota avenue to the public. We need clerks, butchers, stenographer and bookkeeper. Please send your application in writing to the president, Mr. W. G. Banks, 516 Minnesota avenue. Stockholders will be given preference to these positions. Buy some shares and be in the push We take Liberty Bonds on shares. Watch The Advocate for opening day. $5.00 a share; can you afford to miss this golden opportunity? Fortune only knocks at every man's door but once in a lifetime. Don't throw your money away; you will regret it when you get old. Invest it and live off of the interest of your money when you get old and decrepit. See Mr Banks at 516 Minnesota avenue, and he will explain all to you. DR. BRAY PASSES THROUGH. Rev. H. Franklin Bray passed through the city on the Missouri side Saturday and had time to call up his old college friend, Editor Kennedy. Dr. Bray is one of the race's great evangelists and is the founder and head of the Sunshine Mission of Chicago, which is doing a wonderful work in that city for the underworld and needy humanity. Dr Bray was for several years a member of the Kansas Conference and built a fine church in Hutchinson.

O. Midnight Says He Will Curb the Lynching Spirit if Given Official Power and Do It Without the Usual Fuss the Central Regalia office. Joseph L. Jones is one of the best men of this country, and believe me he is a Pythian from hi sheart to his craw, and when the supreme lodge meets in Topeka, Kansas, you will all have this information as I am dishing it out to you in advance, and you will agree with me and say that I know what I am talking about, and I just talked a little in advance of the people. Miss Sayde Mays, a brilliant young woman in Indianapolis is learning something they call shorthand. She makes a lot of foolish little marks, and then she reads them marks just like it was regular writing. What are we coming to next? She is a teacher in the public schools of that city, and I am told that she is a good one. You may wonder why I mentioned her name. I will tell you later. I spent Sunday in St. Louis the guest of Prof. and Mrs. Aaron E Malone. Both of them were out of the city, but I was a guest just the same. They had their big horseless automobile carriage down to meet me and just toted me right out to the place where I had some real breakfast, and went to the First Baptist church, where I heard a sermon, and will not comment on it for it was preached by that man whose size is in his own way, Charles Stewart. I am getting tired of running up on him. He seems to get around almost as much as I do. What is he doing anyway? I know he would like to have a fine job like mine writing for The Advocate. I met a few friends and then left for Texarkana. It was a nice ride. I passed through Little Rock, but did not leave my wagon, for fear some one might ask me to eat, and I felt like eating a whole cow. The Malones had left word for me to eat. They had a fine eating lunch fixed up for me, but it looked like it had been struck by a slycoon when I got through with it. Texarkana was reached, and I made it to the home of Mrs. S. A. Matthes, the lady who has a daughter learning how to be a nurse in Chicago. She made me welcome and soon had a chicken's head off and his body jumping around trying to find the head. Soon it stopped and it was all over. It was good night to that intruder on the ground, and when she invited me in to eat, I saw that very same chicken who had just put aside his body on the table ready and willing to become a part of me. I did eat, and then I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Duckie Kenendy. The Lord was kind to her and gave her some real beauty. She is a bouncing young widow, and believe me it will not be long before some fellow will try to get in out of the snow and cold. She has a home and a dough that can open and shut. From Texarkana, on to this place where the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention is in session, and they are doing business, believe me. Strange things are happening in this country—in fact in this world, and I am taking some part in the happening of them. These Baptists placed on the table in one day nearly $26,000, and believe me, honey. when I tell you they have passed—well, I am not going to tell you which one of the stars, but they are above a few and looking on forward to the others saying, "I wonder what you are?" At the head of the convention is the Rev. A. L. Boone, of Fort Worth, Texas, and he is some presiding officer and leader of men. M. M. Rodgers is the secretary of the convention, and I have told you so much about this wonderful character that I am sure you must know him by heart, and then by his side are so many strong men. Reaching here I was assigned to the home of one of the leading physicians of the race, Dr. W. R. Roberts, who is a strong African Methodist, and a dele- Palestine, Texas.—Will some prophet rise up and tell me when race rioting, lynching, mob violence and all them other kind of wicked sins stop in this country. The war is just over and hell has been filled so full from it that it is almost runnig over and then there were a good many who no doubt went to heaven, and now Americans are turning on each other and sending themselves to either the mild happy hunting place or to that hot place where a fellow just burns all the time trying to burn up. The Negro has decided that he is tired, and has bad feet, hence it is impossible for him to run any more, hence he must pack up his trunk and get ready for immortal glory Prepare for his heaven bound shoes, and take a start up to see God. Then others are going along with him But I don't believe in this kind of business and think there should be sufficient manhood in my country to stop it, and if the white man finds that he cannot maintain law and order, just turn it over to me for a little while, and let me select some black men, and I tell you there will be no more lynching, and a few people will be permitted to live out their three-score and ten year, and that's no joking. I will give them a few lessons in law maintenance, or God will know why, for I will take a straight bee line to heaven and tell God-all about it. Am I a man? I heard that I was, and now it is up to me to prove it I am having a hard time todo this, for the other fellow says I have no right to be a man in America, for this is a white man's country. You just tell that pumpkin headed boob, that if this is a white man's country I will have just a little claim on it, because Rev. P. James Bryant, says that when the white man got over here for the few years he was ahead of us, it took up all his time dudging from the Indians, and nothing real along the line of progress was done until we got here. I thank God that we were kidnapped and brought over here and we are here to stay if we can and if not then we must go on home to God. I have been going some since I wrote you the last time, and now I am down here in Texas. I am proud, for I like to be down here in this section of the country where business picks up and where a man is a man if his skin is white. I discovered that I have some whiteness under this top skin, hence I am a man. It was a long jump from Washington, D. C. down to where I am now, but I have made it, and I am prepared to tell you that I am still in this world and don't know much about the other world. If it is anything like this then I would just as soon remain here and get all of my hell and heaven too. But I have no room for complaint. I left Washington in a Pullman bed car. I was informed by the corndoctor, that they had sold me a bed in the wrong wagon, but he would change me over to the proper one, which he did. Down through Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, into Ohio, I rode in that bed wagon. From Washington, to Cincinnati, Ohio, I did not have a word to say to anyone. I just rode and rode and rode, and slept and slept and slept, and I had some lunch which had been prepared for me by Bishop and Mrs. Ross, and I just got on the outside of it, until I looked like I would just buss open. I want to thank them for this kind act. I certainly did enjoy every mouthful of it. When you read this letter Bishop Ross will be on the ocean headed for "Dear Old Africa." where he goes on official business for his church. He has charge of West Africa. I did not tarry long in Cincinnati. Went to the office of Joseph L. Jones, and found that he was just one more busy man. I was delighted to nd that he was away on business, but things were just moving along in Cincinnati in ADVOCATE THIS MEANS YOU '150 SAMPLE DRESSES, LATEST STYLES FRENCH SERGES, WOOL JERSEYS.

McCLELLAND & SON, Real Estate 733 Minnesota Ave. Judge James Guy of Topeka, was in the city Monday on business. gate to the next general conference. He is a friend to the young aggressive men of his church, and that means something for Dr. J. C. Caldwell, and then he is a friend to Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, J. R. Ransom, and A. J. Carey. Dr. E H. Hunter of Norfolk, a well trained young man, has been urged to put his hat in the ring and it is there now. He is a strong man,* and pastor in Portsmouth, Va. He used to be inNorfolk. But I must not get away from Dr Roberts. He has just married one of the leading women in this country. She is well educated; her mother before her is an educated woman and one of the leading teachers of Texas. Thus you see I was assigned to culture and refinement. When Dr. Roberts' former wife went home to rest, his daughter took unto herself a husband, Dr. W. Virgil Hurd, one of the best tooth dentists in this country. This young man came into this world via Henderson, Texas. Just how many years ago I do not know, but it strikes me he has not been here over thirty years. He took on his education right there, finishing the high school of the town; he stepped over to Bishop college and took on a few more strokes at education, and when they handed his some skin off of the sheep, he went right on to Meharry Medical college and took up this teeth hollow-soling business. He was so good that when he finished they made him what they called the Demonstrator of Posthetic Dentistry right in Meharry. Now you see from that word it was something big. Leaving Meharry, he came right here and put up his office, and started in business, and our people are saving their teeth now. Instead of having them yanked out, they just get the old snags half-soled, and go right on. Some mouths look like gold mines these days, and this young man is kept busv all the time, and right by his side is to be found his bride. She is a graduate from Paul Quinn college. I got more to say, but you cannot stand it all this week. I am seeing Dr. V. M. Townsend, who is looking up in his church. I shall tell you all about him in a few days. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

Senator Curtis of Kansas introduced the resolution in the senate and Congressman Dyer of Missouri introduced it in the house of representatives. Increased interest in our own behalf is developing with remarkable rapidity. At the invitation of Dr. Stewart. president of the Atchison Branch, I addressed a mass meeting in Live Eleven Hall. The branch numbered then 96. It is thriving. Prof. Walter Gray is a live secretary. October 26 will visit the new branch in Parsons, Kansas. Mr. Percy Robinson, coroner, is the president. Rev. T. W. Green is also a moving force in the cause of humanity. All branches will have election of officers in November. The following nominating committee of the Kansas City, Kansas, Branch was appointed: Prof. Jno. A. Hodge, chairman; Mr. J. A. Montgomery, Mr. J. A. Wilson, Miss Henderson and Mrs. Page. It will be their duty and pleasure to look over our more than 1,000 members and select officers who will carry the work on. Greater problems than we have yet met are before us. We would only intimate in a very pleasant way that a new broom sweeps clean. The Kansas City, Kansas, Branch has done well in increasing its membership, in responding to telegrams in the case of the suspension of The Crisis and the investigation of lynching. G. A. GREGG.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES This great congreation was blessed to have Dr. Prince of St. Joseph to expound the Gospel to them at 11' a. m., as he is certainly a God-sent man. He preached in an inspiring and Apostolic manner. His text was, "To be spiritual minded, is to have Christ," and to be carnal minded is death. He gave many beautiful scriptural metaphors and allegories. Also gave a practical phase, i.e. a minister is not a financial machine, and if Christians would give according to the scriptures the churches would not have to give entertainments, and have notices on them like moving picture and play-houses. As Dr. Prince is an ex-pastor of this church, some enjoyed the great sermon as that they shouted or gave him an ovation of "amens." He closed with these words: "The God of Abraham and Moses is my God, and I will trust Him always" Pastor Holmes praised the sermon to the highest and led the congregation in singing, "Countless Blessings" The choir sang "How Sweet the Name of Jesus." Mrs. Prince, who is a very intelligent Christian woman, in writing papers and a refined conversationalist, accompanied her husband. She spoke to the Sunday school and wa sinvited to address the church. She said in part, "how pleased she was to visit us and that she - had prayed that we would get a beautiful church built and she felt that God had answered her prayers. Says she traveled much but has not seen a better one." She spoke of persons even if not beautiful in the face, they could have beautiful Christian hearts. She received unanimous "amens," and some wanted to clap At 8 p. m., Dr. W. L. Craft. field secretary of the National Baptist convention, preached from Matt. 6:11. Text. "Give us this day our daily bread He said in part: "We have no daily bread unless we have faith." and we should ask for it every morning. Told how Jesus went off to Himself to pray.

It was full of logic and Christian philosophy, one young woman confessing Christ and others joining the church. First A. M. E. has an assistant pastor, the bishop appointing Rev. Alexander Jones, the vice-dean of Western University and a son of Bishop J. H. Jones. This is the first time for an assistant pastor to be appointed. The work in this church has been very heavy for one pastor for the past few years. Rev. Jones is a brilliant young Christian gentleman and his services will be of great good and help to the pastor and this community. The choir rendered their usual high class music, although— Miss Carney is a hard worker and is always found at her post of duty. Rev. Watts of Guthrie, Okla., filled the pulpit at the 8 o'clock service to a nice audience, of which his hearers appreciated. The assistant pastor, Rev. Jones, attended the services all day Sunday. There is considerable talk of a revival campaign. It would do no harm, but really the church or its members ought to be under the influence of a revival at all times. Let us live so that our Christian influence may be as a magnet to those about us. Dr. Griffin preached Sunday at 3 n.m. for Rev. Bouldin. The Sunday school is being well attended every Sunday, but there are many children running the streets and remaining at home, who ought to be in Sunday school.

He illustrated by gold in the fire. The choir sang "Jesus Cares" at the beginning and Deacon Jennings prayed. At the close they sang the beautiful hymn, "God Will Take Care of You." Large collections were taken and closed with the highest ordinance, i.e., by baptizing a young man from France in the glass baptistry. Next Sunday, October 26, some devout servants of God will preach, so come and hear the visiting preachers. Pastor Holmes is invited to preach ten days in Wichita; that will be until about October 30.

The main address of the afternoon was by Prof. A. Page, on "The Inconsistency of Colored People in Commerce and Segregation." It was discussed by Attorney Towers and Considee Jenkins, who did not agree with all he said. Mr. Manley also discussed it, as did Prof Neely, who said, "the speaker was a little prejudiced and colored things a little." The speaker agreed that perhaps he was a little prejudiced. Prof. Neely also said: "Our people in business must be able to compete with others in being able to sell as cheap." Mr. J. C. Branch spoke for the speaker, as did a lady, who talked a little on the subject. Next Sunday, October 26th, the Junior executive committee has charge of the program and we know it will be fine.

J., Friday night at a grand reception, one of the swellest of its kind this season. More than a hundred guests were present and welcomed the ladies to our city. The lovely home of Miss Pendleton was beautifully decorated in cut flowers and ferns. There were many beautiful gowns worn by the guests, which made the affair one of beauty and splendor. With music, laughter and merry voices mingling together was enough to let the hostess know that everyone was having a good time. Miss Pendleton and her mother snared no pains in making this affair a success. Everybody was served plentifully of lunch, brick ice cream and cake. At a late hour guests were still arriving and at last, with the last look at the clock, many were they to thank the lovely hostess for the good time and left feeling that it takes Miss Pendleton to do this.
