Tenth Street THE TROUBLE ES STATE. Dr. Carey considered the conviction of the 87 men, 12 of them to die in the Elaine trouble, was based on prejudice, and would be a disgrace to Phillips county, and the state of Arkansas, if the men were executed without a fair trial, which they never had. He was speaking in Phillips county, and thought it was the best place to talk to the people and not talk about them at long range. Many declared that he was made out of the stuff that was needed on the episcopal bench today. He won many friends. Dr. V. M.

HALL, Circulating Manager "Entered as second-class matter August 29, 1914, at the postoffice at Kansas City, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879." THE SMARTER SET PRESENTS "THE CHILDREN OF THE SUN" (From the Sun-Dial, Wilberforce, Ohio.) In the morning of the world, when the fingers of Love swept aside the curtains of Time, our dusky mother, Epthiopia, held the stage. It was she who wooed civilization and gave birth to nations. Egypt was her first born and to Ur of the Challdees she sent her sons and daughters, who scattered empires in Asia as the wanton winds of autumn scatter the seeds of flowers. Beside the beautiful Mediterranean she builted Phoenicia, and in ships with purple sails she sent her children to the blue Aegean, there to found Greece, the marvel of men and the queen of history. Troy was hers, and from that burning city fled swarthy Aeneans, who set the ferment for Rome, the Eternal City. Her spirit called to Arabia and out of the mystic deserts surged the black soldiers of Islam, who welded the world into a new empire and sang their songs of love and victory in the vales of Andalusia. On the isles of all the oceans, and from where the Southern Cross bends low to kiss the restless waves to where the Arctic holds in leash its frozen world, her hand has touched. Religion, art, literature, science and civilization are hers, and eternity but lives in the warmth of her radiant glow. I have chosen to call the unnumbered millions of her descendants the Children of the Sun. The Smarter Set in presenting such a play, brought to light a feat that made the world to look upon the darker races with a new eye, and in ages to come the past will be brighter. There is in the Smarter Set. as one says, and always will be, as long as Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt lives, none but the recognized artists of high standing in the profession which makes the Smarter Set smarter. The company under Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, opened the play full of pep with Mr. Jass on the wing as Lee Boots Marshall and ended in the hands of the Gods of the Sun, with Abraham Washington as king, played by Whitney. The play had the right name for it seemed everybody at Wilberforce tried to find a place in the big Xenia play house, but the funstarted when James J. Vaughn, the writer of all the Smart Set's music, hit those Jazz Blues. So "The Smarter Set" set the pace for everybody in the Xenia play houses on Thursday, November 18, 1919, was ruled by a black king once if never again. Tell me the Smarter Set is not smarter. "The Smart Set" company are closing a two weeks' engagement at the Auditorium, Ninth and Holmes streets, on the Missouri side, and their patronage has been of the highest of theatre goers from the two Kansas Cities. Critics class this company to be the best that has been seen at this popular playhouse. It's a clean, classy show in every particular and the play, "The Children of the Sun," is well written and its characters know and play their individual parts with ease and skill. The stage settings are elaborate and the costumes are elegant. This company is headed by two of the races greatest actors and comedians, Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt. This company will always draw to the limit in Kansas City. Their last matinee will be tomorrow (Saturday) at 2:15 p. m. WHAT CHU BIN DOIN', UNCLE IKE?

Rev. Browne will graduate this year from Wilberforce University, in Ohio, and will come out with credit and honors to himself and First Church. The pulpit at the evening service was filled by Rev. C. R. Tucker, of Tulsa, Okla. The doctor delivered a fine message and many Amens were expressed. Dr. Tucker received his license to preach from this church some thirty years ago and has been in Oklahoma ever since, and has grown to the size, as his friends say, of Episcopal timber, and will be in the race in May for the bench. Dr. Griffin's Vacation. Our pastor, Dr. Griffin, who has needed for some months a rest, but just kept hanging on for a more convenient time, to be away from his work, but he will leave about the middle of the month to be gone three or four weeks at least. The congregation desires and hopes he will take a long vacation and return to us feeling like a youth. Those who have not contributed to his trip, can do so at any time and we are sure all would like to say they had a part in assisting or helping defray the expenses and restoring the health of our hard working pastor, who has done so much for this church, people and community. Watch service was held Wednesday night. Sacrament will be held at the morning service Sunday. Every member of the church should be present, and partake of the Lord's Supper, it being the first of the New Year. The pastor has had a little rest from his pulpit for the last two Sabbaths and he says he feels like preaching, and is hungry to expound His word, so come out Sunday and hear him afresh. The assistant pastor, Rev. Jones, was away for a few days last week. Mrs. H. F.

All praying as the day of Pentacost all in one accord. On last Friday night, Dec. 26, at 7:30 p. m., the organist, Mrs. Dessie Brant, was called to order and the practice was just beautiful. After the practice was over Sister Brant installed some officers to the singing choir. Officers as follows: President, secretary-treasurer, director, etc. May the Lord bless Sister Brant in her struggle. Sunday school last Sunday was called to order at the usual time and a beautiful leson was discussed. We hope to see next Sunday, some more new scholars. The superintendent, J. T. Thomas, is striving as a brave soldier to make Kansas City, Kansas, Sunday school one of the leading schools in the Brotherhood. May the Lord bless him. At 11:35 Rev. Galvin, one of our divines of Kokomo, Ind. occupied the rostrum. He preached a wonderful sermon, and he said many uplifting words. Rev. John Farr conducted the service, as our pastor was absent. The Bible Band was beautifully discussed at 6:20 p. m., and quite an attendance was present; quite a few visitors were present also. The president extends an invitation to visitors to come out and be with us. Sunday night, Dec. 28th, at 8:30 p. m., the rostrum was filled with THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Sister Josephine B. Clay of Omaha, Neb. She is a missionary, and spoke some stirring facts and she said many good things. Don't forget next Sunday, Jan. 4, 1920 will be the first Sunday in the new year. The Church of God wishes to see as many out as possible. Come out; let us all get acquainted with each other and let us abolish prejudice and let us all love one another like Jesus said in St. John 13:34:35. Come let us reason together. Isaiah 1-18.

Prof. and Mrs. George Williams chose Mrs. M. C. Matthews as one of their friends to send a beautiful card of the season's greetings from Topeka. The late Christmas shoppers denuded the stores, in spite of the recent coal strike. One furniture store on Minnesota avenue sold more furniture than it had in stock and had to hustle around lively to fill orders Christmas eve, in one case purchasing duplicate furniture for more than it cost the original purchaser. The floor walker of a department store was shot and killed Saturday night in Tulsa, Okla., by a man who claimed he had been employed by the Kansas City Railways Company.

WM. H. TOWERS, Attest: R. J. McFarland, Clerk, by W. F. Methis, Deputy Clerk. (First publication Dec. 19. 1919.) A large audience assembled in the Temple, December 28th, to hear more about God's Word. Pastor Holmes preached on all living so that God's Spirit will dwell in our bodies, which are the earthly temples. It was the last Sunday in the year and he used it as reckoning day, for all to examine themselves. It was an inspiring sermon. He endowed wi'h "We should reflect God's glory not so much intellectually, but spiritually and if we have aught against anyone, tell them and get forgiven. Among the choir's Christmas music was the anthem "Glory to God" sung swe'etly by the choir, with Mrs. Mabel Mentor as special soloist. After a large church collection, over $14, was collected and sent to Mrs. Marie Ross who is sick. At the Mission Circle, Mrs. Mary Over of Denver, talked. At 2 p. m., the funeral of Mr. Jarvies Jones was held, the Temple was crowded up into the balcony. The pastor gave a warning to the hundreds of K. P.'s that the first and best thing is to seek Christ." At 8 p. m., he preached appropriately from Gen. 28th. Some of the members gave him a Bible. The choir sang the beautiful song, "I'm on Business for My King," which was written by a colored composer. Watch meeting was held Wednesday night and it was very impressive. Next Sunday, January 4th, is the first Sunday in the New Year; come out and renew your covenant, and those who have never confessed Christ, accept Him. Our pastor can and does preach the Gospel. Everybody welcome. The Sewing Circle met in the upper church parlor this week. We were glad to see Mrs. Jos. Willis able to be at church again. We are informed that Mrs. J T. Roberts went to Bell Memorial Hospital this week. Mr. Sam Dilbert, 620 Troup avenue, was called to Topeka last week on account of the death of his sister, Miss Fannie Dilbert. [Picture of a woman] Her own story of her remarkable deliverance. New Jersey Chemist offers generous supply of the wonderful remedy free. No wonder Mrs. Jackson is anxious to have the whole world know what Dr. Kline's Epileptic Remedy did for her. Doctors tried and failed to help her. Fifteen convulsions in three hours is a terrific experience. But Mrs. Jackson is well now. Read how it all happened: Gentlemen: About six years ago I was taken with convulsions and I was in about three hours. I had two doctors with me and they worked for some time, then I was sent to the hospital and there I laid for three weeks before I knew where I was. I stayed at the hospital for four weeks. Then my husband has several attacks of convulsions. A little over two years ago when I had four very hard convulsions, at one time, a lady friend told me of Dr. Kline's Epileptic Remedy. I was anxious to work with her and I got one bottle and took it and it made me feel little better, so my husband said to continue it, which I did, and at the present time I never felt better in my life. If this letter will not help, then they will take my Epileptic Remedy, as I believe it will cure them as it has cured me.

WE LIST BELOW THE NAMES OF THOSE WHOM INCREASED THEIR SHARES: THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Hundreds of thousands of members of the race scattered throughout the broad country are commending the work of the National Baptist Publishing Board, located at Nashville, Tenn., under the secretaryship and management of the Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., who, more than twenty-two years ago went from his home in Texas to Nashville to open up a plant for the denomination. We have just received a copy of the Sunday School periodicals coming from their presses for January, February and March, 1920. They consist of the Senior, Advanced, Primary, Intermediate Quarterlies with a copy of the Beginner's Quarterly. We understand that they have an elaborate list of publications, and that the circulation last year reached the ten million mark and promises to go far beyond this this year. Some of the publications are printed in colors, and are designed and published to help in the modern Sunday School methods. Their Editorial Secretary, as we understand it, is a member of the International Lesson Committee. Lawyer Dorsey Green made his many clients and friends leave his office with a smile during the holidays. He had plenty of fine cigars for the gentlemen and a large bucket of candy for the ladies. Dorsey certainly knows his biz. Sister E. L. Christian, the general superintendent of the Sunday school of the Church of the Living God, was here last week visiting the Quindaro College and Rev. T. Thomas at 2111 Walnut boulevard. Miss Cornelia Sanders of Oklahoma, and a student at Western University, has been the guest of Miss Alma Griffin during the holidays.
