Great Revival Meetings at First A. M. E. Church. "Where Will You Spend Eternity?" KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. THE RACE HAS MADE GOOD FOR OVER 300 YEARS Tulsa, Okla.—You should feel proud of the fact that you belong to this race of ours, because it is a great race, and we are making it to the goal. Of course it is going to take time and trouble, and we need not expect to make it all in a day with oppoition, and without shedding a few tears and blood. It seems that such has been the record of the world's progress, and there is no particular reason why we should not have our part of it. Look where we started three hundred years ago, and then recall how we served the world for nearly two and a half centuries as slaves, and kept as for from books as heaven is from the other place, when it was almost a prison offense to teach me to read and write, and perhaps in some parts capital punishment, and then see where we are in about 60 years. Men of worth, men of wealth. Graduates from some of the greatest institutions in America and some of our men and women have studied abroad. We have learned preachers, skilled surgeons, and doctors who will rank with the best in the world. College presidents, professors and teachers of worth, newspaper editors, lawyers—now is there no need of me trying to tell you all the different things we have, but just join with that fellow who said, "The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." Now it is up to me to tell you about some of the places where I have been and what I have seen and heard since I wrote you that other letter, which was the last until you got this one, and it is the last until you get another one. Ministers in the African Methodist Episcopal church are certainly getting active. Some of them are striving to be elected delegates to the general conference, and after they are elected then combinations are being formed with them looking forward to some other things, such as election to the bishopric, and then general offices. Some of them are going to be combined in and others combined out. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks is some pumpkins, in this, because he has won his by hard work, and we would remember Dr. A. J. Carey of Chicago. He is in the hearts of the men who will make up the next general conference, and there comes another big man, whose name I do not recall. Dr. John A. Gregg, who has served in South Africa is willing to go back there and remain as the bishop to that part of the world, and he is fitted for it. Dr. J. C. Caldwell, the choice of the young people and of the many others, is just the man. I am in this town attending the Northeast Oklahoma annual conference, presided over by Bishop J. M. Conner, a man who has almost lost his life, for the work in this state and Arkansas. He believes in education and is giving his life looking forward to the education of his people. He is a great man, and I am proud that I can call him a friend of mine. Reaching the city, I reported to Dr. C. R. Tucker, pastor of Vernon Chapel'A. M. E. church, who assigned me to the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Smith, just across the street from the meeting place, so that it was possible for me to get there without getting ih the rain. Mr. Smith is a native of Tennessee, while his wife came into the world via Kansas City, Kansas. She is the SMITH & TOMPKINS PRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS SUCCESSORS TO DR. C. A.

COME IN AND LET US GET ACQUAINTED. PHONE BELL WEST 242 James A. Smith and Monroe B. Tompkins, proprietors VOLUME VI. sweet singer of this town, and one of the best posted women on affairs. Her parents took the time to have her educated in education and then in music. She is not only a good worker in the A. M. E. church, but she is active in the Eastern Star, the Calanthe Court and the Sisters of Mysterious Ten. They have a lovely home and it is a home without a child. He is a busy man. He has spent 18 years in Oklahoma, and has something to show for his stay here. Rev. C. R. Tucker was indorsed by his conference for the episcopacy, the same conference indorsed Rev. J. R. Ransom, D.D., for the same place. That man is making friends. Then they took up Dr. V. M. Townsend, of Arkansas, and said some real good things about him, and pledged to support him for the position of secretary of the Church Extension Society in the African M. E. church. He is a man who has taken time to prepare himself, and then he knows the church work from A to Z and that counts for something. It was nice to get in touch with such a genius, and to talk with him. He was in Missouri I am told, during the Missouri conference. Dr. Townsend received me like he was receiving his own brother and toted me around in the city of Tulsa. I am glad to be here, but before you can bat your eyes or wink them either, I will be away from here. Now for my next step, I will have to go back and just tell you some of the other places I have been. It strikes me when I wrote you the last time I was in Arkansas, and beat it away from there to Texarkana, Ark., where I spent the night, and then on to Marshall, Texas, where Sunday was spent, the guest of the Rev. Mr. Kelly, pastor of the M. E. church, although I spoke in the Bethesda Baptist church, and had a big time there. I was in the M. E. church just one service, Sunday morning, and the Ebenezer people turned out there in large numbers, but in the afternoon I was in a meeting of men only, in which there was some good talk. Sunday night I was in the Bethesda Baptist church again. I also got to Wiley University, and saw that wonderful little preacher, Rev. M. W. Dogan, who is doing so much for his people in an educational way. Then off to Shreveport, La. The white folks had been having a fair there in town, and the closing day was called "Negro Day." I am glad that I had the pleasure of going out to that big fair, for my people were well represented in every department. They had a building, and a good substantial building, and my honey, you will believe me when I tell you every inch of it was filled. There was not a building or exhibit which surpassed ours. We were the IT, and it made me feel like shouting as I looked around and saw what great things my people are doing. Southern University, Prof. J. S. Clark, president, came in with the best exhibit, and it was some fine exhibit too, believe me. I do not know whether or not you know much about Southern University. I will not take up your time to tell you this week, but I will tell you before I die, or cash in my checks. It was at one time in New Orleans, with a white president. The state voted to sell it out and then the next step was to place it in the hands of a president with my people, and Dr. Clark was selected. He has made good, and they do more for the school now and greater work is being done. Lots of these schools in this country will have to go in the hands of my people. Lampton college, Alexandria, La.. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1919 CITY K. P.'S OF K. C., MO. TO ERECT TEMPLE TO COST $150,000 The Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthe of Kansas City, Mo., have well on the way plans for the erection of a $150,000 Pythian Temple. The opening drive started Thursday evening of last week, when a banquet was served to more than seven hundred Pythians and Calantheans were seated to one of the largest feasts ever pulled off in the Middle West. The Grand Chancellor of Missouri, A. W. Lloyd of St. Louis, and the Grand Worthy Councellor, Mrs. Buckner, of the same city, and a number of other grand officers were present. Many enthusiastic addresses were made by Grand officers and subordinate members. Also by Dr. S H. Thompson, Grand Chancellor, of Kansas, and Mrs. Norene Davis, Grand Worthy Councellor of Kansas. It was a great opening, and on Friday evening. hundreds of Pythians and Calantheans returned to the hall at Fourteenth and Michigan and paid in and took out stock to nearly one-half of the cost of the Temple planned. It will be a four-story structure of modern conveniences. Lawyer L. A. Knox is chairman of the general committee and Col. Don Rife, secretary. The Junior Stewardess Board met with Mrs. Bertha Dorsey, 818 New Jersey Friday. October 31. The meeting was an enjoyable one. A splendid program was rendered by Mrs. Mattie Jackson and Mrs. Minne Cooper. The hostess served aboundantly of pumpink pie, ice cream and cake. Each one present received a Hallow'een souvenir. Twenty were present. had a fine exhibit, and so did the public schools of the city. Henry Stewart Davis, just tooted me around in his automobile, in order that I could see. I landed next in the Turner Infirmary. Of course I was not sick, but I just wanted to look at that wonderful little doctor, who is doing so much to help her people live. I say her, because Dr. S. Turner-Goodwin is a woman, who went to them doctor schools just like men and learned how to be a real doctor, and now she is conducting all alone an infirmary, and it is just full all the time. When I get sick, I have just made up my mind that I want to go there to get some medicine and get well. May God help me to reach there. Next I was off for the place where I am. Met in Texarkana, the Rev. L. K. Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist church, the largest of its kind in the country. We spent the night on the carriage drawn by the Kansas City Southern iron horse. He was two hours late. We rode into Port Smith on time, got out on time and he got off at Muskogee, while I made it on to Tulso, where I am writing. I am sure that the people of Kansas will be pleased to know that Harry O. Abbott, one of the brightest young men in this race, is doing well in Tulsa. This young man represents the scholarship of the race, the thought, for he took time to prepare himself in the University of Kansas as I remember, and then he entered life. He stayed around home for a bit, got into the moving picture business. Sold out his interest, cam here to be on the Tulsa Star, where he made a reputation as a newspaper man. He made many friends. Being a young man, who was needed during the war, and he was found, because he got into the Y. M. C. A. work, and devoted his time to helping men. It is a great thing to be a friend to men, and to have men think well of you. He served in the camps in this country, and he served well. Since the war, he returned to Oklahoma, and bought him an outfit, moved it to Tulsa, and he is now one of the best printers in the state, and is doing great work for his race. We enjoy having such men, and Kansas people should know what a Kansas boy is doing down here. He is a sober upright young man, and is sticking close to business, and is not a booze fighter. J. O.

Wortham brought in $375 from Sarah Tanner Memorial Fund; in the future this fund is to be divided among widows and orphans of foreign and home missionaries. A big missionary drive was planned with Mrs. R. C. Ransom of New York as leader. This will mean many thousands added to the missionary treasury if all the Mite women take hold of it as is hoped.

The visitors were highly pleased with Edward Waters College where Dr. J., A. Gregg presides over several hundred students. The new Centennial building with its large brilliantly lighted auditorium would do credit to any campus. There is much talk in Florida of Dr. Gregg being made Bishop at the coming general conference. He and his good wife were uniring in theire fforts to assist Dr. R. A. Grant and the good people of Jacksonville in caring for the Quadrennial. The session closed with an automobile trip to St. Augustine, thirty-eight miles from We Will You Spend 10th has been Postpone Jacksonville. Mrs. T. W. Greene, Mrs. F. D.

Secretary. FALCONER STOVE COMPANY Among the large and reliable stove houses in Kansas City, Kansas, is that of J. C. Falconer, at 14-16 North James street. There is probably no firm in the city that carries a larger stock of highgrade stoves, of coal ranges, coal and gas combination ranges and exclusive gas ranges than Mr. Falconer. The Moores stove is known to be one of the best on the market today, as to its durability and cooking qualities, and is conceded to be one of the handsomest pieces of kitchen furniture made today. There are hundreds of them being used in the two cities from this store and everyone is giving perfect satisfaction. As to heaters of this make as well as dozens of other makes, and also of ranges besides, Mr. Falconer carries the largest stock of rugs of any stove house in the west. In fact, he can furnish a house from garret to basement, and it is always a pleasure to walk in this store, as such courteous treatment is tendered everyone. By this firm being out of the high rent district, it can afford to sell a little cheaper. You will notice their big ad on page three. WEATHER·FORECAST FOR KANSAS CITY AND VICINITY· From the 7th to the 15th generally cloudy; rain probably with shifting winds; somewhat colder; occasional sunshine. —By Rev. C. F. Collins, Astro. and Eternity?" stponed MOTHER HART GOES TO HER REST Mrs. Anna Hart, an old and highly respected citizen, passed away at her daughter's, Mrs. Josephine Baldocks, 1045 Everett avenue, Friday morning, October 31st at 10:30 o'clock. Mrs. Hart had lived in Kansas City, for more than 19 years, and had reached the ripe old age of 76 years at the time of her death. She had been under the tender care for years by her devoted daughter, where she died. She leaves a sister, two sons and two daughters, besides Mrs. Baldock, who are located in as many states. The funeral was held at the house Monday at 2:30 p.m., Rev.J.F. Griffin officiating. One sad feature of this funeral was Mrs Baldock's husband who has been sick so long, lying in another room unaware of what was going on, he being so low. Mrs. Baldock has for months and months taken care of these two and kept up her home and has had the first time to murmur or complain. She is a devoted Christian woman and says she trusts in His divine care. The floral pieces were many and large. This good woman has the greatest sympathy, including The Advocate, of a host of friends in her sad hour of bereavement. DR. ISAACS IS AL-LEN'S NEW PASTOR Rev. J. B. St. Felix Isaacs is Allen Chapel's new pastor, coming from Bethel A. M. E. church, Portland, Oregon, where he has pastored with great success for the past two years and had started on his third year. Dr. Isaacs is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and is a scholarly Christian minister. He is a deep thinker and a logical spiritual reasoner. He is known to many here, as he was assistant dean for one year at Western University. Historic Allen should feel grateful and honored in having such a man to fill its pulpit. DRUG STORE NO. 3 Kansas City, Kansas, is coming rapidly into its own The latest addition is another drug store, making three in the city, opening up last Saturday at the southwest corner of Third street and Troup avenue, an old and reliable drug store, owned and operated for many years by Dr. C. A. Medaris. It was purchased last week by two well known and experienced pharmacists, Messrs. James A. Smith and Monroe B. Tompkins. Mr. Smith for quite a while was the leading prescription clerk of the Peoples Drug Company on the Missouri side and later holding the same position with the White-Wood Pharmacy. Mr. Tompkins also has had a long experience in the drug line and his knowledge of the business runs parallel with his partner. The future prospects for these two enterprising young men, as to making a success, could not be brighter. The Advocate wishes for them untold success, as it does for every other honorable business enterprise of commercialism of our people. Musician's Ball, Convention Hall, November 13. Rev. J. R. Ransom of Wichita was in the city Monday calling on some of his old friends. WHY NOT? Buy your Dry Goods from Us? Our expenses are not great. We sell for less.

N.A.A.C.P. Let all the members of the Kansas City Branch keep in mind, the annual meeting Friday evening, Nov. 7, at the Young Women's Christian Association rooms, on Washington boulevard. It is interesting to note that the Jews have an Antidefamation League. It challenges and works for the suppression of everything that is hurtful to them as a people. Here are some headlines of papers. "The hotel occomodates comfortably about 80 guests. Hebrews, consumptives and dogs not solicited." "Although the school is non-sectarian, it does not admit Hebrews." Note the tactfulness of the society: "The practice of a number of Jews, who retorted to all conceived summer resort advertising in hasty acrimonious letters of censure, is to be regretted, no matter how their personal vanity may have been served, for even the portals of what is normally an open mind will close when threatened with a batteering ram." Note again: "It is the duty of all Jews, first by their deportment, to refute their critics; and then, with the consciousness that justice sustains them, to wage uncompromising war upon the enemies of their good repute." May we profit by this observation. All men have troubles and would be rid of them. Let us be thoughtful, tactful and courageous. Don't forget the annual meeting. G. A. GREGG. HONEY FOR SALE.

CHURCH NEWS An extra large audience attended the services Sunday morning when Dr. J. F. Griffin delivered one of the ablest sermons it has been the pleasure of the people to hear for many a day. Subject, "The World for God" It was wonderful in power and spiritual uplift. This Sunday another special sermon will be preached by this great messenger of God. The revival services this week have been full of the Holy Ghost, Rev. H. L. Boulden of the C. M. E. church assisting Dr Griffin during the week. While the auditorium was not full of people, it was full of the Holy Spirit every night; souls of men and women were made to rejoice. If ever there was a time the world needed Christ it is at this special period. Every human being ought to continually ask themselves the question until God gives them the answer, "Where will I spend Eternity?" Rev. Wm. Mitchel preached at the evening service to an attentive audience. Several joined the church during the day. Prof. G. B. Buster of the Christian church will address the Allen League Sunday evening at 6:30. Come and hear this scholarly Christian gentleman.

Editor Advocate: Allow me space in your valuable paper to speak of the people of Dodge City, as I am pastor at this place, and I want the world to know about us. I find that there are 5030 population in this city, white and colored. The colored population is 125. I have not met any more loyal people in the East, North or South than there are in Dodge City. Furthermore, I find that two-thirds of the colored people own their own property. I further want to say that they are a loyal set. But my membership is very small; only six members. I preached Sunday night and extended the invitation and eight came forward for prayer, and one united with the church. We have a nice place to hold our services in. It is a large basement. Anyone coming to this city for an outlook can please call at Mrs Turner's place, at $1.00 per day. She lives at 209 Maple street. For agriculture this is the greatest country I ever saw in my life. We have one flour mill running 1.200 barrels every 24 hours. I saw this morning the streets lined with wagons, with four to six horses hitched to them to pull the grain. I also find colored operating a business.. Blacksmithing, working at the roundhouse and work in general and wages 40 to 50 cents per hour. This is a fine healthy country here.

Mr. A. W. Manley of 2308 North Ninth street, has returned from a ten days' trip in Southern Kansas where he has been looking after land FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1919 METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Twas a crowded day at Metropolitan Temple. At 11 a. m., the many loyal members and friends were glad to see Pastor Holmes in the pulpit. He had Deacon Oliver to lead the Covenant and many testified for Christ audibly and some who did not, are testifying daily in their Christian lives. At the close the pastor administered Sacrament and sang appropriate hymns. At 2 p. m., the Armourdale Baptist church had Rev. Porter, of St. Louis, to baptize in the Temple's baptistry. The publicity committee was so eager to announce Dr L. K. Williams, of Chicago, that she announced it for morning, when he was only to come at night; but it drew the large crowd of the day and the large main auditorium was overcrowded, compelling auditors to sit in the balconies. At 8 p. m., the organist played the beautiful voluntary, "Lead, Kindly Light," and Rev. T. Napier gave the invocation. After which Pastor Holmes introduced Dr. L. K. Williams, as the greatest pastor in the world. He has five assistant pastors, holds two services in Olivet Baptist church at the same time, one up and one in the basement, has another church in another suburb, fifteen paid missionaries, and 9,900 members, all working under the management of this great preacher Olivet is one of the largest churches in Chicago, white or colored. Dr. Williams preached as no one else can, from Rev. 21:1: "I saw a new Heaven and a new earth." Many saints shouted and praised God. Some united with the church and after giving other large collections, they gave him $22. He has been asked to return soon to preach again at the Temple. Next Sunday, November 9, you are invited to this church again to hear our own great preacher who started many to building and beautifying houses for God. Do not delay, but come join us. Mrs. Marie Ross, on Alice avenue is quite sick. Rv. G E. Horsey, of Bonnville, Mo., visited Mrs. Ruth Collins, 517 Nebraska avenue, Monday, and we learned that he had been charged from Booneville to Ward Chapel, corner of Twelfth and Woodland.

Gregg, Associate Editor The Kansas City Advocate, Kansas City, Kansas—Dear Sir and Broth- er: Please allow me space in your good paper, to tell some of the good things that is being accomplished by the good people of Pocatello. First, we have a wide awake set of people, who are striving to reach the uppermost round of success. and we have a God-fearing set of people, who are not afraid to work for God. We are preparing for a great re- vival in the near future. and hope with God on our side to reap a great harvest, in his name and for his cause. On last evening the president of the Junior Stewardess Board Club Mrs John Pierson, and her club of co-workers, gave a wonderful sur- prise on the pastor and his wife, the pastor was in his study, when there arose from without the sound of thirty-two voices, singing, “There is a stranger at your door, let him in,” and upon opening the door, they fil- ed into the room, ladened with the many good things to eat. Will say the pastor and wife were made to feel happy, and very, much at home, with such a welcome. | We have never met with a more ecngenial people as Crristians, and citizens, since our ministerial career. And 95 per cent of these gocd people own their homes, which shows thriftiness of the highest type. | Will say that Pocatello is a beauti- | ful little city, with twenty-five *hou-| sand population, and located between two mountains, lies a broad table: land of beautiful green grass, with! a river of clear running water, and above this, you are still in plain view of the snow capped mountains, resembling the great glaciers of Pike’s Peak, Colorado Springs, Colo. This is a place for many advan- tages for our young people, to be prepared for old age. Success to our many and dear friends. H. C. WHITE, Pastor of the A. M. E. Church. | Mrs. Wm.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum had its largest meeting of this season at Metropolitan Temple to hear Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, a world citizen, speak. President Hodge was pleased that the audience was made up of so many persons of intellect, also people from every walk of life. After community singing, with Miss Dwiggins at the piano, and the usual opening, Mr. Lucillious Betts sang one of our folk songs. Then came the main feature of the program, address, "The League of Nations," by Dr. Burris A. Jenkins of Kansas City, Mo. He explained the League and is in favor of it, and he said, "he would like to see some moral substitute for war." He, having assisted in the "Y" work in France, has seen its terrors. He says, "they wish to form a United States of the world." Says, "We may expect to see an occasional race war, but in time those things will be adjusted. His talk was fine; but as he had to leave at its close only Chaplain Wright got to ask him one question. The address was loudly applauded Miss Mabel Jackson sang a beautiful solo and was accompanied by Prof. T. H. Reynolds. Miss Vanilla Ross played a difficult violin solo and was accompanied by Prof. C. T. Watts. The climax of the music was a fine bass solo by Mr. Fitzpatrick of Kansas City, Mo. He was encored, but did not return. Prof. King gave a good critic's reports. Miss W. Jefferson, the secretary, announced the large collection. and Mrs. M. C. Matthews, the reporter, was in her station. Miss T. Smothers and Mrs. H.
