KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. IN BATHROOM J. O. PLAYED BLUSHING ULTRA-COMEDY Dr. Edward Perry, One of the Noted Colored Physicians, Exam- Little Rock, Ark.—I went so fast last week that I did not get to write a letter, but I am trying to say a few words to you this week, and ask if you are getting ready for the events of the future. Many things are taking place in this world, and I am glad that I am living in this age, to see the great world, and when I get to Heaven I will have a great time telling those who went many years ago what took place after they left. I will tell them about that flying machine, about the horseless carriage, the hugless dances, and how the devil got in some of the people and made them sin like him. Of course I am not going to deal with much devil stuff, because life is too short for that, but I will have enough to tell that will give chance to the good things. Since I missed a week, you may not remember where I was when I wrote you the last letter you read from my lily black hand. I was right down in Wichita, Kansas, with Dr. J. R. Ransom, the great preacher of that section of the country, who is a friend to me any time I call on him, and a friend to man. I have been going some since that time, and my mileage will number in thousands, and that is not saying much. As usual, March came in like a lamb, and they tell me it is going out like a lion, and it is going to take some one out with it, but just who I do not know, for it may be me for one. It is all right, for I am prepared for the journey. I have been somewhere and have seen some few things, for when I left the city of Wichita, I went direct to Oklahoma City, Okla., and there I had the pleasure of meeting a few people. Of course you know of this town, because it is the head city of the state, and they meet here to make laws to keep my people down and keep a certain race in its place, they claim. But it is as easy to take a teaspoon and dip the Mississippi river dry as it is to keep a thinker down. Put into any man, race or nation thought and you have made an independent race, nation, or even individual. This is what happened to the people I have in mind now. But I looked around in Oklahoma City and had the pleasure of meeting Prof. W. A. Hill, who is some pumpkins in this country of Oklahoma. He is a representative of the government, and holds a high government position, demonstrating. He has been in the school work for a long time, and he is an expert in this thing you call agriculture. I was delighted to come in touch with him and to see what he was doing. Of course you know about Oklahoma City and other points in the state, and I will not enter into details. I met so many people there, and had the pleasure of visiting the newspaper office, the Black Dispatch, and they were busy putting brains on paper. The Dungee Brothers are conducting the paper, and they had several clerks and reporters. I think Miss Florre D. Pugh is the city editor, and she is a live wire in a newspaper office, and a lover of her church. I say her church, for she is a member of the Avery Chapel, which is the African Methodist Church of the town, and Rev. J. E. Toombs is the pastor. I found pleasure in talking with her, and visiting her home for a few hours. She possesses the stuff to make a great newspaper man. Now to get away from the town, and go to Guthrie, and this is where I got to see a few things. For it was there I met that great surgeon of our race, Dr. J. Edward Perry, of Kansas City, Mo. He came all the way down to Guthrie to cut a woman open, take something which had no business inside called a tumor, then put her together again and she went on to living better than she was living before. Dr. Perry belongs in the class with Dr. Daniel H. Williams. George C. Hall, A. M. Curtis and other big cutters by expert. He said it was a difficult case, inasmuch as the patient was way down, almost bloodless, and he had to keep her alive while operating by some artificial methods. The work was done at the Park Sanitarium, Dr. H. W. Conrad, manager, and they tell me that he is one of the greatest doctors in America, saying nothing about race or color. People come from all parts of the country to have him treat them, and when he has with care ines J. O. gone through you, he will tell you exactly what the trouble is, and they say he never misses it. Wonderful man, and in this sanitarium, you have two in one, Battle Creek, Menigna, and Mayo Brothers. At this one place you get what you get at both of them. I had Dr. Conrad to examine me and he told me I had an awful case of ancestors, and there was no cure. It was caused by my projenitors and that all I ate went directly to my stomach. I want you to pray for me. Right by the side of Dr. Conrad, is one of the finest women it has been my pleasure to meet. Mrs. W. H. Conrad, his wife. She is superintendent, and believe me, she knows her BIZ. The head nurse comes from Tuskegee, Miss F. M. Cole. She is one of the women who invented kindness, nice words to the sick room, and make you forget your ills. I don't see to save me how a fellow can have the heart to just cut you open, but that's his business and none of mine. I wish you could step out and see the great work which Prof. J. M. Marquess is doing out at Langston University. He is just born to be a leader of men, and a tranier of the young people, and I want to congratulate the state upon having him at the head of their school, for he is indeed a worthy man, and ibring things about. There is indeed a large student body, and they are doing good work. It is just a little bee hive, no, it is a big one and all the bees are at work making thinkers, getting ready to handle the great problem of life. I found pleasure in talking with the teachers and with others. I met the daughter of Poet Tilford Davis. She is a fast writer down there, and there is another fine young woman, who is the secretary, and she knows how to be a secretary. I am real proud of her and her work. I beat it back to Oklahoma City, had dinner with some friends, called on others and then made my way to McAlester, then to Muskogee, Tulsa, and back at Muskogee; but a word or so about these places. I tell you Tulsa is a busy place and if you don't believe it make it there. They know how to skin the hide off of a flea to get his tallow, and but little accommodation among some people. I met some of the good people there, and talked with them. There was Prof. J. W. Hughes, who is a worker in the Sunday school as well as principal of the largest school in town. He is a good man, and his wife comes right along by his side. I talked with Miss Blanche Woodford Miss Ruth L. Walton, both teachers. Miss Walton comes from Leavenworth, Kans., and comes of an educated stock, but I must tell you some other experiences. For one time I was made a moving picture show on Sunday morning. While in the city I was the guest of Rev. J. H. Abernathy, pastor of the First Baptist church, and a whole-souled man is he. He knows how to treat his guest, but his home was crowded, hence he arranged for me to stop at the Gurley hotel, arranging for the room and paying for it out of his own pocket, arranging for me to have the best, even a bath. It was Sunday morning when I went in to take a bath, or to take a shave, taking off my clothes, when a woman cried out who is in there, and I responded by telling her it was a man. I wish you could have seen that woman opening the door to see a man. Perhaps you want to know what she saw? She saw on y a mun, preparing for a d.p. or prepared for one. She looked at me, and I have been lushing ever since, but she did not seem to blush, not even say excuse me, but said she was trying to see if one of the boys was stealing a bath, because baths were not free. She did not kill herself furnishing towels, for I was there two days, and had only one towel which was to be used for bathing face and hands, for the bath, for wash cloth, and any other use that a towel would be required. I think that HOTEL PROPRIETOR took my picture and she is going to have me in the movies, and then I will sue her for a royalty. God grant she will not. I will have to bring this letter to a stop in a few minutes, and remind you that I am here, and that things are getting in good shape for General conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church. I am informed that Editor Kennedy is going to be there to keep his people informed. Things are lively in Georgia. That story of wanting to be bishop because prosecuted by the bishop is falling down. When a bishop persecutes a man he will not give him one of the best appointments in his charge, push that man to everything that's good, for Dr. Johnson is secretary of his conference, secretary of the trustee board of Morris Brown University, was secretary of the General conference. They give him what he wants, and I think it is an injustice on Bishop KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MARCH I I, For . . . .

He is indeed a man possessed of the Christ-spirit, and I want to see such a man elevated. Of course I will not tell you anything about them other great men this week, such as J. C. Caldwell, W. Sampson Brooks, A. J. Carey, J. R. Ransom, S. A. Williams, but I will have a little more time and space the next time. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Dean Pickens to be here March 31. Mrs. J. C. C.

They intend to put a certain amount of stock on the market in a few days. This will be the second corporation that has been organized in the last few months and the time is ripe for a business of this kind and should do well. Rev. J. C. C. Owens was down on Wednesday from Leavenworth attending the Douglass hospital board meeting. Inter-Church World Movement Much is being said about the Inter-Church World Movement and a little against. The churches need to get together on some common basis of action or some exterior church world movement — but it has already taken charge of affairs. The church and their present influence is only a drop in the bucket as compared to the world task. No church or Christian organization has any ground for withholding its aid in this cause, which of its very nature is the cause of every Christian organization. To refuse is to fall short of its duty. It is only the Macedonian call — a call may be that originates out of the church as such. Christian influences are too far in the minority to entertain any idea of sulking or holding back or opposing. In fact Christian influences will not do that. Come to Western University Friday, Saturday and Sunday. A team of five Inter-Church workers will be here to stimulate the students, faculty and visitors. American Woodmen Chieftain Here The American Woodmen's B'g Chief, Hon. C. M. White, of Denver, Colorado, was here Tuesday and a reception and banquet was tendered him on that evening at Fraternity Hall. Camp No. 1 of this city and Camp No. 5 of the Missouri side and friends, were out in great numbers. A fine program had been arranged by the State Supervisor, W. G. Banks. Chief Commander White made an encouraging talk as to what he had seen and was being done among the race while on his tour through the Northern and Eastern States. Others who spoke were Supervisor Adkins of Missouri, Major General Jones of the Uniform department, and Dr. Porter Davis. W. G. Banks was master of ceremonies. Rev. A. C. Terrell, presiding elder of the Omaha district, held quarterly meeting Sunday at Bethel A. M. E. Church, on Water street. A large audience was out all day. Rev. R. S. Everett of Argentine preached the Communion sermon at 3 p. m. Rev. W. B. Johnson is pastor of this church and is doing good work. Mrs. Ed Lvles, 810 Nebraska avenue, had a slight stroke of paralysis last Saturday, but is slowly improving, of which her friends will be glad to know. Mr. D. E.

Shepherd, Independence, Kansas) Mr. Editor: Please permit me space to express the true sentiments of the west. Many are the problems, and weighty questions that are discussed by the able writers of our great connection. East, West, North and South, which to my mind will make this one of the important General conferences in the history of our church. We are confronted with the question of organic union of our sister Methodist and the time limit as well as the election of at least five Bishops, and the redistricting of the connection, either of which gives us thought to ponder. The greatest care should be used in planning for union of the three great Methodist bodies among our people and the election of Bishops is not the thing to be played with. God does not call every man to the exalted office of Bishopric. But if a man desires a good work, so we have a great many who are desirous. We should more carefully and prayerfully, if that be our mode of procedure we will elevate the men who will give the church great service. Our connection has given us an array of great men from every section of the church and if we pray we will be guided by those heaven born principles, which lead to right men regardless of what section of the church they may hall from. Our church has stood for more than a hundred years. Years of toil and sacrifice demonstrating to the world the brain of Negro manhood, and his ability to govern and control large bodies. Therefore we should think for one moment of removing the time limit and placing the church beyond the control of all Episcopal authority. We can't hardly control our congregation now, since five years is the limit and in most places, the pastors and the people will say, well we are going to keep our pastor five years and to touch him that time means to disrunt the church. What will you do when there is no limit, and the pastors say I am here for life. It means that the church must die. No one wants to be other than true to the landmark set by men of old. It is time that the West will come in for a share of honor at the hands of the forthcoming General conference. We want two things. First. Kansas and the Fifth Episcopal district is behind Dr. J. R. Ransom for Bishop. We appeal to you because he measures up to the standard possessing all of those qualities spoken of by St. Paul 3. Kansas is loyal and true as she has been to our great cause. Not one single general office has ever been bestowed to her. Next we are praying for the restoration of the Western Christian Recorder. Many want the district divided and make out of it another, and if you are determined to do all of this to help the church, then may we maintain the keepings of our fathers. Give us Dr. Ransom for Bishopric as editor of the Western Christian and Dr. Barksdale to push the quil Recorder. Some of the sick of Metropolitan are: Mesdames Mims, Taylor, Richardson and McReynolds; also Mr. Jesse Williams. A CALL TO ASSEMBLE A call is hereby issued to Negroes of the state, to assemble at Topeka, March 19th, to take action upon the idea of putting a colored man in the field, for a place on the Republican ticket.

Knight, Pastor To say the least, our Sunday morning service was a source of joy and helpfulness to all that were present. The Scripture lesson, St. Luke 8:5-18, was both illustrative and impressive. A spiritual testimonial meeting followed. A larger number of young people testified at this service than ever before. This was a service of joy to the congregation. We are earnestly praying that they will continue. Miss Myrtle Everett was read into full connection at close of service. You will enjoy our morning service. Don't miss it. Our pastor's subject on "The Spiritual Value of the Near and Visible", reached the hearts of his hearers in the evening service. He simplified faith to a working basis for both the saved and the unsaved. He said that we needed far less proof of God's existence and beneficence than we demand. It is through simple faith such as was manifested by the afflicted woman in the text. He wounded by saying that no matter what position we hold in life, we saved we must touch Christ by faith. The Into-World Church Movement, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. branch will hold a three-day convention to W. J., beginning Friday morning of this week, closing Sunday evening with a large mass and decision meeting in the chapel at Ward's Hall. 'The out-of-town leaders of this convention have prepared a number of interesting topics under the caption "Life's Choice", and those of us who are seeking to do definite work for the uplift of humanity cannot afford to miss these meetings. Next Sunday being quarterly meeting at our church, Prof. G. A. Greg, who is in charge of the entertainment of out-of-town delegations, has made it possible that the sermon on "Life's Choice" will be prescheduled at our church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock by our Presiding Elder, Rev. C. A. Terrell. The faculty, student body, with the orchestra, will be with us in this service. Come on time we begin at 11. We had an excellent A. C. E. League Sunday evening. Miss Brown to be an excellent leader. The paper rendered by Miss Macoy from Senior Class, W. U., on "Inspiration of Brotherhood", was inspiring. One of her classmates will give us a paper next Sunday. Both papers will be discussed at this meeting. We will begin at 6:30. Rev. J. St. Felix Isaacs, pastor of Allen Chapel, Kansas City, Mo., will preach the Sacramental sermon at our church at 3 o'clock next Sunday. Rev. Isaacs is a minister of rare ability and a successful pastor. All should hear him. The Pastor's Aid Society was organized with a number of the ladies of our church last Tuesday evening, March 2. Mrs. C. A. Brown was elected president. They held a delightful meeting at the parsonage Tuesday evening of this week, finishings their plans for a home dinner Thursday noon at the residence of Mrs. M. Ransom. They are planning for great things. The third Sunday in this month has been set aside by the pastor and associate editor for a subscription drive for The Advocate. If you haven't subscribed do so now or by that time at least. It prints the news of our church and community. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our gratitude to our friends for the assistance and kindness during the illness and death of our aunt, Miss Ellen Braxton, both in Leavenworth and Kansas City, Kansas; also for the floral offerings.

CHURCH NEWS While Sunday morn was breezy and the temperature was on the decline a fine congregation attended the morning service. Rev. E. J. Patterson, teacher of science at Western University, filled the pulpit. The sermons of Rev. Patterson are always a source of thought to his hearers, and they carry practical Christian living food. Rev. Jones, the assistant pastor, who has been in full charge since the pastor was away, has kept the pulpit filled, aside from himself with some strong messengers, and on Sunday evening, Rev. Watts, of Oklahoma, preached a splendid sermon to attentive listeners. It was an enthusiastic Gospel sermon. This Friday night love feast will be held in the lecture 10cm, when the presiding elder, J. D. Barksdale, will be present. Sunday is quarterly meeting and a great concourse of Christian believers and their friends will be out to enjoy the blessings that await those who desire the full-fillment of His promise. Dr. Griffin, the noble and exalted pastor, who returned Thursday from a three weeks' vacation to the coast, shows that his trip was just what he should have taken long ago. He is feeling good, and his flock that he so dearly loves, were greatly pleased to know he enjoyed the trip, but could not keep back that yearning for his return. On going about the parsonage now you would see a real honeymoon couple, but Mrs. Griffin's daily love letters will be cut off. Quarterly conference will be held Monday evening, when the leaders and all church organizations will make their quarterly reports. A number of the leaders are sick and they would appreciate very much for thier members to turn in their class dues and quarterage to the secretary or district steward Sunday. Communion sermon at 3 p. m. Sunday, when one of the twin cities divines will preach. The choir will furnish extra music Sunday, which always lifts up your soul in Zion. The Sixth Annual Knife and Fork banquet, which is to take place Wednesday evening, March 31st will be the largest in the history of this great feast. The speaker, Dean Wm. Pickens, of Baltimore, the raga's brainy and brilliant orator, will bring a message of fire. Tickets are going rapidly and twelve hundred i. the limit.

CITIZENS' FORUM Owing to the large funeral at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple holding a little overtime, the writer did not get to the Forum in time on March 7th, but she is informed that on March 14th a fine program will be rendered and Dr. E. A. Wilson, B.A. of Dallas, Texas, who organized the Forum, will be the principal speaker. Excellent musical numbers are promised and other great speakers or note and prominent people have said they do not want to miss the great "Founder's Day."

Mr. McReynolds of Rosedale and his club met with Mr. Chas. Griffith at 923 Washington boulevard Sunday. Mrs. S. Rollins had the Society Editor as guest to a fine dinner Monday. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Although Sunday, March 7th, gave us one of the coldest days of 1920, many valiant hearts wended their way to hear the Gospel of the Son of God. At 11 a. m., the largest crowd was present. Many of those present testified as witnesses of Jesus. At the close Pastor Holmes made appropriate remarks and some united with the church. He then, without any previous warning, asked for a special collection of $200, and about 13 men and two women brought forward $10 each and gave it on a loan. The Recorder wrote the morning financial list. Miss L. Harlan announced the Knights of Columbus Night School for ex-service men. Major General John Jones of Dallas, Texas, made a good Christian talk. Some of the visitors were: Mesdames Thompson, Parker, Cooper and Scott. Mr. Banks announced the Woodmen's free banquet at Fraternity Hall, in honor of Hon. C. M. White of Denver. At 2 p. m. the funeral of Deacon Austin of First Baptist Church was held in the Temple and Dr. W. A. Bowren officiated. Although it was one of the largest in years, the church held the multitude. The balconies and the whole massive auditorium was filled and hundreds of Pythians turned out. The First Baptist choir sang nicely, and Mr. Wiseman played the pip eorgna . At 8 p. m. Pastor D. A. Holmes preached from Hoseca the 13th chapter, 10th verse, "And I Will Be Thy King". It was a practical, impressive sermon. He closed by singing "I'm a Child of the King", and although there were not as many pres caring, God's Spirit carried three to come forward and said to be baptized. Some also joined who were already Christians. Twas a great meeting. The Spirit is trying to tell this congregation to start a revival. The Corresponding Secretary recorded their names, and also the names of those who gave in the collection. The ordinary collection amounted to over $250. Mrs. E. A. Wilson, of Dallas, on her way home from Washington, D. C., talked and spoke highly of the pastor and church members' work in building such a fine temple; also commended Mrs. W. G. Wood, the organist, and said that there were others like her. Pastor Holmes corroborated her statements about the organist. Next Sunday, March 14th, will be a big day, and the former pastor from Dallas will preach at 8 p. m. Come to the Temple. God's Spirit comes into it. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH The quarterly meeting last Sunday was quite successful. The sermon, at 3 o'clock, was preached by Rev. R. S. Everett, who delivered a spiritual sermon. There was a good crowd present. Rev. A. T. Terrell, P. E., preached at night to a good crowd. The Sewing Circle met at the parsorage Thursday. The Revival Meetings conducted by Rev. Jones are growing in interest with telling effect.

BELL FAIRFAX 838 1606 N. FIFTH ST. THE SCOUT MOVEMENT How the Colored Scouts Were Organized It is perhaps not generally known that at the present time there are three colored troops of Boy Sconts of America. One of these troops usually is composed of thirty-two boys between the ages of twelve and eighteen. Those organized at present, with their Scout Masters, are Troup 31, G. H. Mowbray, Scout Master. This troop has been organized for about five years and has made a fine record, both in public work and in self-improvement. Lieut. Howard Browne is Scout Master of a troop selected from the boys of Douglass school. James Williams, recently of Kansas City, Mo., where he rendered excellent service as a Scout Master, has been given a troop in the Stowe district. These three troops are now recognized by numbers, instead of by letters, as formerly. They are given the same work and exercise as the white troops and have the same camp facilities. In all public services they take a part and receive from the general treasury whatever funds are necessary to further the work. The organization of the Boy Scouts among the colored boys began about six years ago, when the men teachers of the city, including H. V. Wilburn, Woddy E. Jacobs, who have since moved from the city, and Eugene Vaughn, who met an accidental death in the scout service at summer camp, were called together by Mr. A. J. Neely, to discuss the best way of improving the boyhood of our race. It was at once decided that the best thing we could hope to do at that time was to organize our boys into Boy Scouts. They joined at first the United States Scouts, but later found that the program and policy of the Boy Scouts of America more nearly met their needs. Gradually this group of teachers was able to interest a few of the public spirited citizens, but much of the work is still dependent upon the men teachers. The success of the early movement was made possible by the hard, conscientious work of the first three or four Scout Masters, Woody E. Jacobs, Geo. H. Mowbray, Homer Wilburn and Eugene Vaughn. Later, when some of the men left the city, the organization would have been wrecked had it not been for the determination of Mr. Neely, the interest and co-operative spirit of Mr. Mowbray. and the men teachers of Sumner High School. In fact, the scout work, as it affects the colored troops, would have been next to dead if the above men had weakened in their search for scout masters, which finally ended in securing the services of James Willams and Lieut. Howard Browne. With these two men in the field it is hoped the organization can go ahead and complete its work. Each troop must have a committee of three men whose duty it is to provide meeting places for the boys and look after their needs in general, and to supply the troop with a scout executive. At this time; the following men are serving as committeemen: George Brooks, J. H. Clayborne, J. P. King, G. A. Curry, H. G. Dwiggins, J. A. Hodge, A. J. Neely and C. S. Matthews. Others who have taken active part are: G. B. Buster, J. J. Lewis, T. H. Reynolds, Dr. L. R. Petty, and H. S. Williams. The funds with which the work has been carried on have been raised principally by means of the field and tract meets at Heathwood Park each year. It is hoped that from now on the separation of the Kansas City, Kansas, Council from the Missouri side will make it possible for the former to raise its own funds and thus carry on the work. It is for such a fund, namely, $35,000 for three years, that the local council is soliciting the public. Let the colored people do their rduty in this campaign. At this time, the Sumner High School girls are planning to assist in the campaign, and you will hear about the results in the next issue of the Sumner Courier.
