Oh, the joy of being instrumental in leading some poor sinner from the error of his ways! How much of our work perishes! How much there will be in a year's time, when we think of it, that we will wish we had not spent any money or time or labor upon it. But nobody will regret the work he has done for God and for his fellow-creatures. No one ever regrets any sacrifice of money or of time expended in restoring the poor prodigal, and leading into the way or righteousness those who have erred and strayed from it. Let us all try and do something, and do not let us be deterred from doing anything because we can only do a little. The great ocean is made up of little drops. Your great army was made up of single men, and if one man had said, "I won't enlist, because I am only one," where would have been your army, you, union, and your universal liberty? Of all the evidences of Christianity that have smitten unbelief between the eyes, the study of missions is the greatest. In the historical age, the preacher, missionary and the teacher had to almost beg for the money to keep the mission alive, but today the willingness on the part of every human to give to support the missionary is great, even the churches have considered it a part of their services and financial budget. The ultimate aim of missionary endeavor is to establish a self-supporting and self-governing native church that may be left to carry on its work without assistance from outside sources. The extreme poverty of converts is always an obstacle of self-support. Every mission field presents its own peculiar obstacles in the way of self-support, and to overcome these obstacles is one of the greatest problems the missionaries have to solve. This plan is being worked out on many of the mission fields. It was said of Jesus that the common people heard him gladly. Industrial mission tend to raise the standard of living and are improving the social conditions of the whole people. REV. R. R. HARRIS. Pastor.

GROCERY DOING BIG BUSI- NESS — SHARES ABOUT GONE The People's Mercantile Company, which opened up at 418 Minnesota avenue in the grocery and meat business February 1st, has had one month's trial, from a business standpoint, and when an Advocate reporter interviewed the president and manager this week, Mr. W. G. Banks, as to the first month's business, using his own words, "Big—way beyond what I expected and every week increasing. Just hardly can take care of the people, on Saturday, especially." The shares are being purchased rapidly and many are increasing theirs, who have a good block already. The big mass meeting that was held at Fraternity Hall was largely attended, when a ten thousand dollar drive was launched for a general merchandise store that is to be opened in a large room near where the grocery is located. Mr. Banks, the president, says about all the five-dollar shares have been sold and those who want to get in had better secure them at once. Splendid Woman Goes to Her Reward Died—February 19, 1920, at her home, 2½ miles west on the Reidy road, Mrs. Bettie Wilson, aged 66 years. Mrs. Wilson was a respected resident of Wyandotte county for more than forty years. The funeral service, which was held at the home, was conducted by the Rev. Boldin of the C. M. E. church. The burial was in the Quindaro cemetery. She professed a hope in Christ at the age of sixteen years old, at Quindaro, Kansas; after which she joined Allen Chapel A. M. E. church, Kansas City, Mo., and was very active in church and Sunday school work. Served as librarian for a number of years. When later she moved her membership to the A. M. E. church on the Kansas side, where it remained until death. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Pearly-Gate Temple S. M. T., Rev. Boldin and Mrs. J. W. Jones, funeral director, for their kind service to us in our bereavement. Edwardsville, Kansas The greatest gathering here this winter was at the Edwardsville Baptist Church, at the Installation of Rev. Alva Royston, Sunday, February 29. A crowded coach from Kansas City arrived here over the Interurban route about 3 p.m. Dr. D. A. Holmes acted as Master of Ceremonies, and Dr. W. A. Bowren preached a powerful installation sermon. Rev. Hammonds of St. Joseph read the Scripture lesson and Rev. Kyles of Bonner and Deacon Johnson of Kansas City made appropriate invocations. The Metropolitan Baptist Choir of Kansas City interspersed appropriate music, and Mrs. M. C. Matthews, who has more poems than any one of her race, and is invited on most of the best programs, and does more writing for prominent city enterprises of the race than any one, closed the meeting with an original poem on Rev Royston's "Installation." Rev. Holmes and the visiting pastors and crowded church sanctioned it with "amens," and heartily clapped approval. Rev. Bowren and Mr. J. G. Groves, our richest man, and others, complimented it to the highest and want it printed this or next week. The members and friends of the church served an excellent dinner of chicken and all kinds of vegetables, etc., to the visitors, and all returned home delighted, after wishing Rev. Royston God speed and hoping the time will soon arrive to go there again.

Franklin Bray, the "Rocky Mountain Evangelist," has been conducting a union revival for two weeks and succeeded in winning sixty-four persons to an acceptance of Christ as their personal saviour. The meetings closed Sunday night with standing room at a premium; indeed scores were turned away unable to gain admittance. Dr. Bray is now in the third, year of his evangelistic career is rapidly developing into a most remarkable soul-winner. His intense love for the lost and erring and his unbounded faith in God and his rugged clean life are the basis of his great success. Associating with the evangelist in these meetings were Revs. A. H. Johnson, pastor, Holy Temple Baptist church; H. B. Hawkins, pastor Union Baptist church; G. W. Turner, pastor Model A. M. E. church; C. D. Cole, pastor Allen A. M. E. church, and J. H.

Dr. John Wilson's wife led in a trio, Mrs. Cara Pollard sang well, and Miss Mary Thomas recited well. The reception was one of the finest ever given her and the menu of chicken salad, brick ice cream, etc., was greatly enjoyed among the ferns and flowers. Many ladies brought company and many st. this church ought to give one or two more of some kind of Leap Year entertainments.

I am writing under the caption, “This and That,” and that is about the way some of the weighty ques- tions are coming before ovr General Conference. This suggestion is be- ing made, and then another, as to what would profit our Great Connec- tion most, the Time Limit or what has provoked a heated discussion. I am against the remcval of the Time Limit for several reascns, First, It would be unMethodistic to think of such a thing. Why put a damper on| the fire which has caused Methodism to go by leaps and bounds, What, gives his to African Methodism on its’ onward march through the Eastern States, and its mighty stretch throughout the Southlands? It was not that class of so-called Big men who believe in the congregational form of government. But the men who knew and loved the Episcopal form of government. Stay at one place and it means a big place at that. Read the life of Bishop Quinn, how he left all that was near and dear to him, and rode west of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Moszntains to plant the Banner of the Church on Missouri soil, St. Paul, St. Louis, the seat of the General Conference. The same is true of Bishop Ward who carried the message of truth across the plains, scanning the valleys over- topped with snow-clad peaks of the Rockies and left the banner unfurled at the Golden Gate. Did he even de- sire to remain? No, But he inspired his men to go and cautioned them not to remove the landmark of the Fath: abs oleae To remove the Time Limit woul¢ retard our onward march more thar anything c’se, so to say to any mat you cannot pastor such and such charge until after Dr S> and Sf gone and then plan to arrange f#prit change with another man, movelfarc fully, or you will have no negdz§ more bishops; the people will oH vise themselves. Second: D:+1din: the Fifth Episcopal District, can tHa be done to any degree of satisfactio without injuring our Educational In terest? I answer, yes. The ‘wi Districts could continue to foster an support Western University as the do now. But how are you going t supply the work out there with th time limit removed? But few me would care to go if they had an ay pointment that gave them anythin like suppoit. The men out ther would not move or, if so, the peop! would not accept any appointmer that the Bishop would send. Her are some of the substances of th whole matter. “Remove not the Lan maik of the Fathers.” Let the tim remain as it is. If you must divi the Fifth district, don’t divide ot Educational Interest. Now do th one thing for the West. Give us bac the Western Christian Recorder, you really mean to extend the borde: of our beloved Bethel. Elect Dr. .

Knight, Pastor, Quindaro, Kansas. The bright and cheery sunshine Sunday morning lent an air of v.gor and refreshment to our church, and the hearts of those who attended the service seemed as bright. Even the little boys and girls of our community seemed to have been inspired by this beautiful Sibbath morning. We had a larger attendance than before in the history of the Sunday School at this time of the year. All five classes were largely represented. The superintendent, H. H. Evrett, with pastor and teachers were elated over the interest manifested in the Sunday School on the part of the parents. They only ask that this spirit be continued. At 11 o'clock sharp our pastor ascended the rostrum, lined the old familiar hymn, "And Must I be to Judgment Brought." The choir seemed doubly inspired by the inspiration from the audience as they joined in the singing of this blessed hymn. Ths was followed by a most touching and uplifting prayer by Commandant Deinsmore, as this man of God only can do. The solo rendered by Mrs. E. J. Landor, accompanist, Miss Amanda Estes, "Hold Thou My Hand," fairly lifted the audience, after which Rev. E. B. Harris of the Institutional Church, was presented. He took for his text, Matt. 244-14, using these words: "This Gospel shall be preached unto all nations, then shall the end come." Subject, "The Gospel to all Nations." The reverend proved to be master of the situation throughout his discourse, and how well he impressed his hearers was manifested by the many amen's from every part of the church. Everyone expressed his appreciation for the blessed message delivered by this man of God, and many hearts were sent home rejoicing. Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Foley. Robert and Thelma Deinsmore and Osborne Holmes were received into full membership. This was a very impressive part of the service, and at the close there was hardly a dry eye in the audience. If you want to enjoy a real good heartfelt religious service, attend our church on Sunday morning. You will be helped. Many thanks to you, Dr. Harris, for the excellent message. You have a standing invitation. Come again. The A. C. E. League was not as largely attended as the president hoped, especially at the opening, but they continued to drop in until we finally had a nice crowd. The lesson, led by the pastor, proved to be very helpful. Every member and friend is especially invited to be present next Sunday evening. We will be favored with several numbers by students of W. U. Come on time. Mrs. C. Brown will lead. At 7:30 p. m. our pastor preached from Ps. 1:3. Subject "Christian Development." This message was both timely and helpful. He dwelt largely on the Christian growth in the church. He said that the Christian's growth is like the plant in the vegetable world, gradual, and also mysterious, and just as the tree requires soil, sunlight and moisture for its proper growth, so the human soul requires certain conditions, without which growth is impossible. These conditions are, First, The life of soul must be based on principle. Second, It must expand by love, and, Third, The will must be disciplined. He closed by saying "The will is the summit of the character, just as the heart is at its center, and the understanding is at the base, and these are strengthened by obedience, and he is conqueror who can resolutely say, 'Not My Will, but Thine be Done.'" Thus ended one of the happy days in our Zion. Mrs. U. S. Hickman entertained the W. M. M. Society at the residence of Mrs. C. Jones last Thursday, afternoon. This was a decidedly interesting meeting and was well attended. The paper on "Prayer," rendered by Mrs. Hickman led the way for an excellent discussion. Everyone enjoyed the meeting and the hostess was accorded a rising vote of thanks by the society and visitors at the close of the session. Our society is steadily growing under the excellent leader- SHE DISCOVERED SOMETHING UNBREAKABLE ship of its tireless and ardent president, Mrs. L. A. McCampbell. Mrs. Brown entertains the society at the next meeting, Thursday, March 4th. The sick of our church—Mrs. Minnie Banks, Mrs. White, Mrs. Kirkwood and Mrs. Williams, are much better at this writing, and we hope will be able to be with us again soon. Mrs. Lottie Smith and Agnes Underwood are indisposed. Are you taking the Advocate? If not, why not? It prints the news of our Church and Community. Annie Thomas, Plaintiff, vs. Bennie Thomas, Defendant. 13157-A. To the above named defendnat, Bennie Thomas, Greeting: You are hereby notified that you have been sued in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, by Annie Thomas, for divorce, and that unless you answer the petition filed by said plaintiff on or before the 16th day of April, 1920, said petition will be taken as true and judgment will be rendered against you, divorcing said plaintiff from you and giving her such other and further relief as she may be entitled to in equity.
