I am now pleading to the white people all ove this country not to airitate me that I may not have the cause to fall from grace. I have religion, and believe me it don't give me much trouble and I don't give it very much, hence we get along well together. Have you got that kind? If you have not then I would advise you to get it, for it is just being in Heaven, and there are so many nice things you can do for your fellow being. Perthas I was sitting around in the city of Chicago when I wrote the last letter, and January 1, at midnight, I pulled out for St. Louis, calling on Frank Adams and his wife over in East St. Louis, which is in Illinois. Mr. Adams is an official of the city, looking after the children who go wrong. I mean who stay out of school, to play hooky. I then stepped over to St. Louis, spending the rest of by time in the Poro college, and it is all inspiration to be there, and it will make you feel proud that you belong to this race. A race brought here just 301 years ago to serve another people, to be bought and sold like dumb brutes, brought here chattel, and now occupy the place of full American citizens. This college shows fifty, years' progress, and believe me when I tell you if you see it you will believe me—that, well I am not a mind reader, and I don't know what you will think, for I don't know my own thoughts.

B. ROBINSON, No Credit N. B. ROBINSON, LAUNDRY No Credit Fairfax 2755 VOLUME VI. A. B. DEUTCH all, there will be fully a half million dollars in the building and it will all belong to us. Mr. Malone was as happy, as a boy in his teens and his wife was just like a little girl putting on long dresses for the first ting hope and god cheer into the ting hope and god cheer into the race. She can point back to her days as an orphan, back to her starting place, and then trace her life up to the present, and it would be just like reading a book—in fact by her life she has made a book and the same is true of her husband, Aaron E. Malone, who also made his way to the top from an orphan boy. He did not sit around and nurse his ills, but improved his mind, finding within himself a real man. Some little time was spent in the school room, as teacher, then out in the world as a book agent, and today he is manager of the largest business concern in the world operated by us. It is because he thought and when he had thought he used it. The addition will contain 25,000 square feet; four stories high, matt brick, terra cotta; and will be the warehouse, factory, laundry, press room, chemical laboratory, garage, for in the future he is going to make his own labels, boxes, and will even have a plant for making the tin boxes they have to use in their business. They are living for the race and I want them to live a long time. We are just naturally doing things, and you must keep your eyes open or the race will go on and leave you talking about what you are going to be and do after while if you live and nothing, happens, for things are happening every day. I looked around in St. Louis and then got on the Missouri Pacific and headed my way to Helena, Ark., and that is an important place just about these days. We are all watching it with much interest and with care. You see it is in Phillips County, and Elaine is in the same county, and there are many happenings down there. I went back and talked with the people. I was delighted to get to exchange a few words with them, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist convention; Dr. R. G. Holbrooke, who is a candidate for the South American plum in the A. M. E. church, is also in town and one of the wealthiest women of our race in the country, Mrs. Eliza Miller, also lives here, and you may see it is important. I have been around and I think I like to have lost a few years' growth, through fright. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY JANUARY 16, 1920 CITY ter to a friend, when Mrs. Miller rushed down stairs and said that she discovered fire, and I was at once up and followed her to the back door where we discovered the school building for our children was the victim, and I predict that some one will have to pay for it some day. This building was just back of where I was stopping, and was soon licked up in flames, and the leaping flames, in defiance, looked at the other trembling buildings and dared them to move, for even the building occupied by Mrs. Miller, where I was stopping did not even wink one time, but remained perfectly still. It was at one time on fire in several places, but was put out, and remains there until this day. But it was worth the admission into any circus to have seen me getting my things out and leaving behind so many things, but believe me, honey, I am getting up with you in a short time. I toted things for who should tote the longest. When the building was saved then it was harder to tote them back than it was to tote them out. I am told that I had the piano on my head and was taking it all out alone, but I don't believe this, but I tell you there was some hustling done for a little while. When the fire was over I spent a few hours around town and then left for another place. This time I found my way to Mound Bayou. Have you been to Mound Bayou, Mississippi, this year? If not it would pay you to take a trip there. It is just like a new place, and I have never seen a place pull up so since I have been a member of your race. It is all because one of the most active business men in the country, Hon. Charles Banks, lives there, and because he has put his whole soul and body into making the town a city, and it is getting there and fast at that. He is a man who was just born to lead men, and is using his gift for the betterment of the people to help men up the road and not down the road. Just to think they are going to erect a school building that will cost one hundred thousand dollars, and the contract has been let for it. The oil mill is turning out its wealth to the captors of it, those who put their faith in the project and let Mr. Banks handle their money. It is going, and I tell you it sounds musical to hear the whistle blow on time to start and to quit work. Such is the work of man, and the man is Charles Banks. There lives in Mound Bayou, Charles Banks, Rev. S. P. Felder, who is before the A. M. E. church for the Episcopacy. He is a refined Christian gentleman, and you would enjoy meeting him, and Mayor Creswell was on hand, and there are several ministers who live in the town. I wish that I had the time to get all of this before you, but I will not be able to do so this time, but you may look for it another time. Dr. Felder is chairman of the building committee of Campbell college, and they have let the contract for an industrial building to be erected at Mound Bayou, to cost nineteen thousand dollars. It was nice to look around Mound Bayou, because as you know it is our town, and perhaps the oldest of the towns owned by our people The streets are to soon be paved, and many other improvements are to be made. These people are just getting there. I made it to Clarksdale, Greenville, and I am now in Vicksburg, where I found things lively, because a white doctor had been kidnapped or something else, and it has turned out to be something else, for his body has been found, but his soul had taken its flight to worlds unknown. Some one had separated his soul from his body, and they think they have the man who did the foul deed, and of course one of our men has been connected with it. I am not going to comment on it, because I don't know. The Lord has been mighty busy calling men to be bishops and general officers lately, and I fear that some of them are going to find out that it was not the call of the Lord. I think the Lord will have other things for them to do, but then I am not here to attend to the Lord's business, and you will please pardon me from getting into anything like that. If you desire to write to me, send the letter to Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. I will stop now until the next time. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Hill entertained at dinner Sunday, January 11th, Mrs. A. L.

The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a spirited meeting last Friday evening at First A. M. E. church. The one thousand members had been notified by mail of this meeting, as it was the election of annual officers. Rev. J. F. Griffin, pastor of this church, had been selected by the committee as speaker of the evening. He gave a strong practical talk on solidarity, and punctuated his sentences of solidifying and sticktuitiveness as a race and organization. Prof. Gregg, the president, also gave a very interesting and helpful address, doting here and three, what the organization had done and what the body as a whole were planning to further accomplish for justice and a fair chance for the twelve million of one hundred per cent Americans of the race. Several others made short talks, among them was Wyandotte Prosecuting Attorney Ed. Enright, who is a staunch member. When the nominating committee made their report for the election of the annual officers, their selections were unanimously in the re-election of Prof. G. A. Gregg as president, although he asked to be relieved this year, as there were 999 others to select from, but they said "No." Mr. Chas. Matthews, against his will, was re-elected secretary, who is known to be one of the most efficient secretaries in all this Western country. Mr. W. A. Montgomery, the National Bank, was re-elected treasurer! Mrs. Mabel Clayborn was elected assistant secretary. The committees were also elected for the year with a strong chairman to lead each of them. The latest branch was organized last Sunday at Leavenworth with 82 members, Prof. Gregg doing the work. This makes seven branches now in Kansas, with a membership of about 1,700. Kansas is the home of that martyr, John Brown, it should have 10,000 members. Join the association now. Organize a branch in your city. Drawing Large Crowds The Billy King Theatrical Company of 40 people, have been drawing great crowds at the Auditorium Theatre. This is the second week at this big playhouse, of a three weeks engagement. They open their third week next Monday night, the 19th, with an entire change of play, which is said to be the real charm, of this trio of plays, this all-star company produces. The two Billies—King and Higgs, are without a doubt the pile-driving comedians on the stage. The company as a whole is well balanced. Miss Olie Henderson and Mrs. Willa Dwiggins were in Leavenworth Sunday assisting Prof. G. A. Gregg in organizing a branch of the N. A. A. C. P. These two women are very active in the work.

Girls Play Exciting Basket Ball Game TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 10—The girls' Varsity and Scrub basketball teams engaged in a match contest at the Kansas Industrial & Educational Institute last evening. A large crowd saw the Scrubs hold the Varsity to a 23-21 score. The game was fast and thrilling from the beginning to the last second of play. In addition to the loss of Dannie Borders, the Varsity captain, there were some slight changes in the Varsity lineup, which may have been responsible for the fact that the Varsity did not win by a larger score. The team work of the Scrubs was above par and played a large part in keeping the score close. At one time during the second half the Scrubs were leading by three ponits, never, however, in the game did the Varsity have the semblance of a comfortable lead. Morlene Johnston was the sensation of the evening for the Scrubs due to her accuracy in tossing free throws. For the Varsity to commit a foul was almost the same as giving the Scrubs one point. Out of thirteen attempts Miss Johnson failed upon but three. In addition to this splendid display of foul goal shooting she had two field goals to her credit, making a total of 14 of her team's 21 points. The Scrubs were able to secure five field goals during the game, due to the splendid work of Lillian Daniels and Mora Dailey at guard, with assistance by the two centers. That the Varsity scored eleven field goals is due to the fast playing of Anna Washington and Gladys Greer than to the inefficient work on the part of the opposing guards. For the Varsity the work of the two forwards just mentioned and of Laura Bayne in center stood out very prominently. Had the Varsity forwards played a more consistent game rather than playing in flashes there is not much doubt but that there may have been some difference in the score. Some members of the Varsity team, the forwards especially, showed inexperience by debating decisions of the officials and allowing this to effect their team work. Anna Washington had six field goals to her credit when the game ended and Gladys Greer five, Gladys Greer tossed fouls for the Varsity, but was far from being effective, scoring only one of the six attempts. One point was awarded to the Scrubs on three fouls committed upon Florist Turner. The Scrubs played a more heady game than the Varsity. All the players deserve much credit in as much as it was the first appearance of nearly all in a match game before a large group of spectators. While there is still much work to be done to develop the team Coaches Johnson and Abbott are confident that a team will be developed before the League contests begin, which will make a splendid showin.

It is free to all who desire to come. It meets on Monday nights at the Community Service Club, Nineteenth and Vine streets, at 7 p.m. Dr. J. H. Mixon Who has made great progress in the past few years as a physician in Kansas City, Kansas. About two years ago, he got into his possession the large two-story brick residence, which he now occupies at 452 Nebraska avenue, sitting up high on the northeast corner of this street and Fifth street, a most beautiful location and a splendid building. He has been using it for some time as a sanitarium in a mild way, but he A. B. has been receiving of late so many applications in and out of the city, from those seeking health, to come and take treatment. He has partially decided to turn the entire building into a first class sanitarium, and it will probably not be long before the people of Kansas City, Kansas, sees on this high and airy corner such an institution. The doctor has several patients at this time in the building taking treatment. Officers Installed The installation of officers of the "What-So-Ever Club" of the First A. M. E. church was held at the home of Mrs. Alice Graves 1927 North Hallock street, on Thursday, January 8th. The event proved a success, both financially and socially.

FAMOUS MERCANTILE CO. 1514 North Fifth St. Kansas City, Kansas Civic League Meeting The Citizens Civic League will hold its monthly meeting next Tuesday, January 20th, at its rooms over the Home Drug Company, 1512 North Fifth street. A large attendance is expected, as the election of its annual officers will take place. Here and There (By Rev. E. W. Smith, B.D.P.F. of the Wichita, district.) Dear Mr. Editor; I thought I would leave a word with the many readers of your valuable paper. Our district thus far is doing nicely, and every man is at his post of duty, and is striving to make the work a success. We have been true to every call of our great church, and intend to by His help to be true to every call. As our church continues its rapid growth and development, it is quite natural that General Conference will also grow in importance in its scope as the growing demands of our great church. I know of no section of the church whose field is so fertile as this part of our church. Our people are scattered all over these plains, and the only medium through which they can be reached and our people kept in touch with the great movements of our church life, is the pastor and the presiding elder. It is almost impossible for our Bishop to reach the many points, and give to the work that needed Episcopal supervision so necessary to the vital interest of our people. Now if these agencies are sufficient to keep in touch with our people, and continue our growth, why maintain other agencies? Such as The Christian Recorder, and the Southern Christian Recorder? Our ministers all take one or more of these papers. But the people out in this mighty Western empire are continually saying to me as I make my rounds over the district: "Why can't we have a paper to assist in keeping the fire of African Methodism burning? We are doing our duty, spiritually and financially and because of our faithfulness, loyalty and devotion to the great cause, we feel that the General Conference will double the interest of our work in this district, by giving us the Western Christian Recorder. And give us that scholar and Christian philosopher, Dr. J. D. Barksdale, D.D., for the editor. And we will assure the General Church that we will go over the top to a greater extent than has ever been in our history." Another great need and that is, Kansas the Sunflower State, is coming to the General Conference to ask that we be allowed to share in that which is justly ours. And that is there will be at least five Bishops elected to the bench. Why overlook this important section of our connection, Kansas and the Fifth Episcopal District. We are behind Dr. J. R. Ransom for this the highest office in the gift of the church. We have a great many men who are capable and well qualified for the office of a Bishop and would do credit to the church and honor to them selves. But out of the number to be elected we come in for our part because we are a part of this great Church. Fortunate for us at this time we have only two candidates proper from the district, Dr. J. D. Barksdale, for the editorship of the Western Christian Recorder, and Dr. Ransom for the Bishopric. Dr. Ransom possesses all of these qualities that goes to make an ideal Bishop. Time and space will not allow me to tell of his accomplishment, in both church and state to say the least for more than thirty years he has stood the test, working by day and night for the church and race. As missionary preacher, circuit rider, presiding elder and pastor, thus he has gone from the humblest mission to the largest pulpits in this mighty Western Empire. Elect him to the Bishopric and send him back to the West to further the development of the work that has been so ablv fostered by that princely man, Bishop H. B. Parks. Mr. O'Neil of Kansas City, Mo., is building a nice brick dwelling with a fine tiled roof on Washington boulevard, the finest street in town. Miss Olive Henderson, one of our best primary teachers, is a regular attendant at the Temple. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

Wednesday, prayer meeting, 7:30 P. M. Friday class meeting 8 P. M. CHURCH NEWS First church was filled to its capacity as usual Sunday morning and many had to go to the gallery. Rev. J. F. Griffin, the West's greatest pulpit preacher, filled his pulpit, delivering a sermon of such wonderful spiritual power that sinners came forward and confessed their wrong which tears of mercy and went away rejoicing in the name of the Lord. Others of the faith connected themselves with the church. A great outpouring of young people is found every Sunday in attendance to these services, which is commendable. It makes the old fathers and mothers feel happy and rejoice to see them present. The pastor delivered another Gospel message of spiritual uplift, at the evening service. Come to the house of God if you want that burden of disappointment, discouragement, lifted from a sick soul. Christ can and will relieve any cold and darkened heart, with His rays of sunshine. The Sabbath school is growing nicely. Many adults are attending regularly. The superintendent, Dr. Jones, wants to have four hundred scholars by Easter. It would look much better if some of the men would not use the choir railing for a coat and hat rack every Sunday. We just don't think, do we? The congregation contributed according to how they felt, Sunday, which was in all something over $260. Not bad for this season of the year. The pastor will fill his pulpit regularly every Sunday until he leaves on his vacation, which will not be long off. Come next Sunday and hear another great message. Strangers and visitors can always get a smile at First church. Mrs. Griffin was able to come down straits Monday for the first time for more than two weeks. The congregation and her many warm friends will be pleased greatly to know she is able to be up again. She has been missed much from the services, as she is regular in attendance to all the services. Any member who becomes confined to the house with sickness should inform the pastor and their leader at once. We will look for you Sunday at 11 a. m., on time. The Advocate one year, $1.25.

I arrived in Coffeyville, Kan., on the morning of the 23rd, at 10:30 over the Santa Fe road, finding all the children well, at which time I called in to see Dr. R. S. Whitaker and Fabby, editor of the Coffeyville Globe. On the night of the 24th I attended an interesting Christmas tree at the Saint John Baptist church at which time I listened to a splendid program, which was rendered by the home talent of that vicinity, and I also received many beautiful presents off the Christmas tree. Also on Christmas night I listened to a wonderful sermon which was preached by Rev. P. F. Morton, of Paola, Kan. Many hearts were made glad On the 27th at 4 o'clock I boarded the Santa Fe train for Cherryvale, Kan., at which time I was informed by some of the officers of the church that Rev. Runyon had passed into the great beyond. At 5:50 I boarded the Frisco train for Galena, Kan.. arriving there at 8:10 at which time I met many friends of that city, both white and colored, as I had pastored there for the last two years. I also spent the night with Mrs. Mattie and Mr. W. F. Edwards. I find that the hearts of the people of that city are still open for the spreading of the Gospel of Christ, and an aid to suffering humanity, as it was when I was pastoring there. On the 27th I arrived at Baxter Springs by the way of the interurban, at which time I met Rev. C. T. Whitcomb and family, my old colleague in the Gospel, and another warm hand shaking taken place. He escorted me to the Massonic Hall, where I met many more loyal friends of mine in that city. On the 28th at 11 o'clock I preached for Rev. Whitcomb. I find that his church and people are working together in the spirit unity, and he is the right man in the right place. I was also invited out to dinner at Mrs. Pillars. Oh, say, man, she had everything that heart and appetite could wish to eat on that table. I spent the remainder of the evening at her home until 6:30, I returned to Galena and at 7:30 I preached for Rev. Scott my success place. We had a spiritual blessing and many hearts were made glad, while your humble servant talked by the way. On the 30th I came down to Oswego, a place where I pastored three years ago, and took dinner with Brother Smiley and family. There I met many friends of that city. At 4:08 I left for Chetopa, Kan., on the M. K. & T., where I had pastored six years ago. There I was royally entertained by the many warm friends of that city. I received many beautiful presents. On the 31st I preached for Rev. Wilson, pastor of the Little Flock Baptist church. I selected for my text the fifth chapter of Matthew and the 13th verse. "Ye are the salt of the earth," using for text a reputation. I also received many Christmas presents, among them was 25 pounds of pecans and hickory nuts from different friends. I was the guest also at the home of Mrs. Hattie Webb. I left on the morning of the 1st for Coffeyville, Kan., on the M. O. P. at 9:20. I took dinner with my daughter, Mrs. Alice Flower, and there I received many beautiful presents in the city of Coffeyville. I spent the night with my auntie and mother-in-law, and also sister-in-law. On the 2nd I dined with my daughter, Evelyn Tillman, and at 3 o'clock I had lunch with Mrs. Alice Redden of that city and received many presents, and at 4 o'clock I boarded the Santa Fe for Garden City, Kan. On the 3rd at 9:30 I arrived in Garden City, finding the church and Sunday school in a lively working condition, as it was when I left: if anything, better. The people of Garden City and Dodge City are lively stones in a building. I was informed of the Christmas program and the entertainment which was held during the Christmas season, and $18 Christmas receipts and $4.55 class due, making a total of $22.55. which was waiting for my arrival in the treasury, as a Christmas present. Some of these I shall never forget. We are now preparing for an entertainment to be given on the night of the 10th for the purpose of raising the presiding elder's assessment and on the 24th to have a banquet for him, the grandest ever witnessed in the city. I also had the pleasure of meeting Miss Mignon Badger, from La Junta, Colo., and it was indeed a social pleasure to me to meet a young lady of that kind, one who is preparing for a higher intellectual ability. She subjected to some new ideas to make our Sundav school more 'prosperous, which I highly appreciated the information I received from her. With the greatest hospitality I pray that many young ladies of her kind would come and abide in our city and that I could say with assuidity that much good would be done for the cause of suffering humanity. I can say that I have one girl in this city that is certainly equal to DON'T NEGLECT A RHEUMATIC PAIN Go after it with Sloan's Liniment before it gets dangerous Apply a little, don't rub, let it penetrate, and—good-by twinge!

Church (Argentine, Kansas. R. S. Everett Pastor.) Sunday was a high day for this congregation and many souls were made happy, by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ, as their Saviour and friend. The house was crowded. Sister Harris held her Women's meeting and we were not able to accommodate the people. This was indeed a great meeting, Subject, "Selling Damaged Goods at Cost." Sister Harris treated this subject to the satisfaction of all and many were helped. The meeting will continue until the Fourth Sunday in January, and we are inviting everybody to come and take part in the meeting. This is Sister Harris's second visit to Argentine and she is sweeping things as she goes for God and His church. We may say that she is a wonder and a power in the pulpit. Our Second Quarterly meeting will be held Sunday, the 18th, and we are inviting all that can to come and take part. Rev. J. C. Bell, pastor of St. John A. M.

(First publication Jan. 16, 1920.) We slipped the ropes at Singapore, The time was half past three; We shot into a bank of clouds That hid the open sea. The sun went down, the moon arose, But neither could we spy, For wrapped about in rolling clouds We wallowed through the sky. Twas morning, for we knew it by The amber light around, Our ship in clouds like clammy shrouds Continued to be bound. The days went by; our latitude And longitude were nil, For we were sailing on and on Through leaden vapors still, Our voyage neared its end; gray clouds Were heavy overhead, And clouds beneath us everywhere Like fields of illies spread. "We must be off the coast of France,"- Our captain cried aloud, And then we landed and behold! We found 'twas in Saint Cloud. Subscriptions to Subscribers THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum met as usual at the Metropolitan Temple, ex-President Hodge presiding. After opening with the Lord's Prayer, the greatest of all prayers, Miss Holmes of Western University gave current events in an amiable manner, and e-xCongressman G. A. Murray, of South Carolina, was introduced and made a very intelligent and instructive speech. In part he said: "We should aim at and start a propaganda in the Forum, and not let the destructive class control, but work until the constructive class controls in our race; i.e., talk business before our children in the homes and in the Forum and not about fine clothes, etc." He received an ovation. Mr. Greer and Mr. Guyer, of Rocky Ford, Colo., were introduced and made practical talks. Miss Johnson, a community worker of Kansas City, Mo., made remarks. She left for Leavenworth. It was a very auspicious closing program for the retiring president. The following officers for 1920 were introduced by him: President, Attorney Guy Booker; first vice-president, Prof. G. A. Gregg; second vice-president, Mr. J. T. Roberts; secretary, Miss Willa Jefferson; treasurer, Mrs. Hattie Berry; critic, Attorney Wm. Towers; sergeant-at-arms, Mr. Wm. Miller. Each made remarks. Miss Sirpora Miller is elected assistant secretary and the new president has informed Mrs. M. C. Matthews that he has pointed her pubicity committee. She thus enters on her seventh year, longer than anyone in the Forum has served in office. Next Sunday, January 8th, another fine program will be rendered and the president-elect will name his other committees. Come out and fill the auditorium. Mr. Davis played a lovely trombone solo at the Forum January 4. Prof. Hodge, who has made such a fine president, now becomes historian of the Forum. Mrs. Greer of Kansas City, Mo., was a pleasant visitor at the Forum. BEGAN WITH GLAZED FRAMES Gigantic Modern Greenhouses Have Grown From Simple Idea of the Seventeenth Century. Like everything else, the modern greenhouse is a product of evolution. It began in the seventeenth century under the form of glazed frames set in front of a wall on which fruit trees were trained to keep the sun's light and heat within. Also later, to conserve the heat of a flue within the wall. Then it became a room, with windows for the storage of plants in winter, like the orangeries at Versailles and elsewhere. Gradually the windows grew larger, but even up to the beginning of the nineteenth century a roof was considered unnecessary, as it was believed that glass overhead would allow the artificial heat within to escape. As soon as it was discovered that the roof could be glazed as well as the sides without undue loss of heat, the modern greenhouse came into being, the supports diminished to the minimum required to support the glass, and, as might be expected, the latest thing in glass houses is a steel frame with the lateral supports almost suppressed and with even bent panes of glass replacing the old-fashioned eaves. Thus the greenhouse has continually traveled further from the architecture from which it first arose. ORIGINAL SHYLOCK NOT JEW New York Scholar Brings Evidence to Show That Shakespeare's Character Was a Christian. That Shylock was not a Jew is the contention made by Dr. Maurice Packard, professor of clinical medicine at New York Polyclinic Hospital Medical school. Writing with a great deal of passion as well as scholarship, Doctor Packard has developed an argument that shows the prototype of Shakespeare's character was not a Jew but a Christian named Secchi, who actually did wager a pound of his own flesh against the thousand scull of a Jew named Antonio. This wager was declared void by Pope Sixtus V. Subsequently the parts played by the principals in the case were reversed by legend. Shakespeare took the inaccurate version on which to base his famous play, making, however, no use of the wager motive. Doctor Packard has no difficulty in showing that Shylock, as the immortal dramatist portrays him, is not true to Jewish type, but fulfills the demands of public opinion of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. At the same time Doctor Packard pays an ungrudging tribute to the immortal hard for "his protests against the cruel treatment and unutterable persecution of a class of human beings too little understood." Mrs. Harris, 2313 North Allis street, has been very sick, but is able to be up, which her friends will be pleased to know. Mr. White, 941 Walker avenue, has been confined to his room with sickness for more than three weeks, but is improving slowly. Mrs. Gardner is sick at her sister's, 923, Washington boulevard. Her friends hope for her speedy recovery. Good News For Women Only women who have suffered the pain and agony that female disorders and monthly periods frequently cause can ever realize the suffering and torture many women are forced to endure. If this condition is not relieved ruined health and misery may result. But thousands have found relief and benefit from the use of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills "I suffered from excessive monthly pains for years. A friend advised me to try Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. First box relieved. Now I suffer no pain and do all my house work." Miss Nellie A. Jones, Jeanerette, La. No harm or unpleasant effects from use—free from Opiates or Narcotics.

Three hundred out of the 500 delegates in attendance at the Minnesota State Federation of Labor convention held an after-meeting and resolved unanimously to organize the Working People's Nonpartisan Political League of Minnesota. They adopted among other planks in their platform demands for an eight-hour day and the public ownership of all public utilities. They then voted to co-operate with the National Nonpartisan league. This identifying of labor with farm interests in political action is one of the new phenomena that is significant enough to be worth watching.

Pastor Holmes preached an appropriate sermon on how we should love our enemies, and if they smite us on one cheek we should turn the other. It made a deep impression.

Allen Chapel Last Sunday's bright sunshine seemed to add much to the success of our services. A very large and cheerful audience graced our church both morning and evening. Our pastor's sermon Sunday morning under the caption of "Success in God's Work," was a matchless spirited treat for all. He both powerfully and very practically explained the cause and condition of success in God's work. The cause—Divine power. Conditions—Personal consecration. When he had finished none could doubt that a consecrated life is the essential element in the Christian religion. Much rejoicing in tears and amens were in evidence at this service. Mr. James Marshall and Miss Inez Hayse were baptized at the close of the service. This was the most solemn and expressive baptismal service ever witnessed at our church. It will be long remembered. The evening service was true to the Scriptural verse of old, "He saved the best wine until the last." Our pastor used for a subject, "Building the Waste Places." With logic and spiritual eloquence he drove home to the hearts of his hearers the absolute necessity of being instrumental in buildign the waste places in the lives of our neighbors and the church. These two sermons will ever ring in the ears of every true believer who were fortunate enough to hear them. You are cordially invited to attend our services next Sunday. Special music and baptizing in the morning. This will be the last baptismal service before Easter. Don't miss it. The young people of our church have organized a "dramatic club."
