KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50. Buy Your East BISHOP HURS FLORIDA Jacksonville, Fla.—I am today basking in the sunshine of "Dear Old Florida", and if I were not here I would be in some other place, but I am here just the same and trying to make the most and best of life, and I wish you could just join with me, for I feel that you could add something to the success of the day. Florida is indeed the land of flowers, and they have been making some flowers in this part of the world, and when they get thru there will be other things to do. Florida is full of information, and then full of interesting people, and just now they are holding conference in this section of the country. It is the last time that Bishop Hurst is to preside over the Florida conference, unless he is returned by the General conference next May; but he is prepared to go where the Episcopal committee says for him to go, and still render service to the church. Bishop Hurst was the man who put Florida over the top, and it is going to mean work for any man who follows him. It has not been all sunshine down here, for there were some things which had to be corrected, and to do it, it cost a few deaths and has given to the African Methodist Episcopal a new working organization, and more money has been raised in the church during the past four years than at any time in its history. Four years were spent in weeding out, and these four years have been spent in sowing gand reaping and because of that they want Bishop Hurst to return and enjoy some of his work. For this year which has closed, the conferences have raised for all purposes $479,756.66 as follows: Florida conference, $39,383.11; West Florida conference, $64,085.98; Middle South conference, $58,311.41; South conference, $100,656.51; Central conference, $105,203.43; East conference, $112,756.66. Candidates have been looking around this way trying to get their ducks in line for the next time the general conference meets, and I am told that it will be in May.

You have just seen a rainbow of eloquence, and believe me when you had sifted some of them talks down the men had not said a thing but elect me. The places they seek are worth while. Men who are divinely called to be bishops who dropped in here were: Revs. W. D. Nance, A. J. Carey, W. A. Fountain, W. D. Johnson, R. C. Ransom, and there was already here Dr. John A. Gregg, booked for Bishop to South Africa, a place which he deserves because of previous service rendered, and because of his ability and his knowledge of the work. He is acquainted over there and there will not be any trouble in his getting his hand in, and he should be elected. If I had a thousand votes he should have 999 of them and the other one I would just give myself as a complimentary vote, as many of the candidates will do on election day. I am looking forward to the election of Revs. W. A. Fountain, A. J. Carey, W. Sampson Brooks, J. C. Caldwell, J. R. Ransom, J. W. Rankin, and thsn some more. This is what I am saying to you today, and I want you to watch my letters in the future, for things will dwindle down soon, and you will see Dr. J. A. Gregg giving up the presidency of Edward Waters college, getting together his wife and mother and going over to South Africa, and I am going to apply for the position of private secretary that I may get over there also to see my people. Now a few words about West Africa. I would like to see the A. M. E. church place West Africa under the missionary department and retain Dr. J. W. Rankin in the position of secretary, for he is perhaps the best secretary the department has ever had, and why change him? His friends have decreed that he should be a bishop, and perhaps nothing else will do but that: But life is moving right along, and I am moving along with it. Will you come along?

Mr. Price was born a slave some 81 years ago, therefore he never had the advantages of an education, but had a business brain of wonderful ability, and in the last 35 years accumulated a fortune without using pen or pencil. A remarkable character, indeed. Mr. Price had lived in this city for 50 years and for about 15 years worked at the Armour Packing Plant, where he saved his money and placed it in real estate and at the time of his death owned, it is said, more than one hundred pieces of property in Kansas City, Kansas. He had not been confined to the house but a few days, and his wife and friends did not consider his ill- where I was when I wrote last week and see where I am today, and you will agree that I am going some. From Louisiana to Florida, passing through Alabama and stopping over for a few hours in Mobile to find Knox Brothers, over their heads in business. You know they are in a dead business, but making it go, because people are dying this year who never died before in all their lives, and will never be called upon to die again. These young men are just fixing them up in the latest improved style and dropping them down with "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust". This is a language I have never understood, and I am not going to try at this late date. Perhaps some day I may get over to Yewrup and get a taste of what the world is thinking about. I am going over to see Lord George and other Lords. I may be me a little Lord in black. In Mobile I dropped in and paid a tribute to the memory of Miss Priscilla Jackson, who was brought home from New York, and laid to rest by the side of her father, who left a few years before. She was a brilliant young woman and comes from a brilliant family. Her sister is Mrs. Hattie Avrams, who is teaching in a school in a business college in Philadelphia, and the other sister, Miss Daisy E. Jackson, is one of the finest writers in our race. I mean she does that fast writing called shorthand, stenography, typewriting, or something like that. She is in the front ranks and is doing her work well, and then there is the mother, who belongs to the strict school known as the old school, and believe me, honey, she has discharged her duty in apple pie order with a slipper, leather strop or any other convenient instrument and she did not believe in yearing out clothes. Two boys belong to the family, hence if they do their duty the family name will be kept alive. Off for Jacksonville, Fla., and I had the pleasure of having a whole baked red snapper in a box, cooked in the latest snapper style, and I certainly did get on the outside of it. It lasted me to Jacksonville, and when I reached town at 9 o'clock at night, I found the Rev. Dr. Took with his latest style automobile horseless carriage car awaiting to convey me to Edward Waters college in the name of Dr. John A. Gregg, the president, who is just a gallant Christian gentleman, full of hospitality, education and common sense, and by his side is to be found a well trained wife, and then his mother with common sense and the love of a mother for her son, and she is doing all she can to help him succeed. Dr. Gregg was engaged ness serious until late Sunday afternoon, when that old structure that had stood the storms for more than three score and ten years, commenced to crumble rapidly, and soon his spirit had passed to the great beyond. He was a faithful churchman and had been an ardent member and supporter of First A. M. E. church for nearly 40 years, and was an honorary trustee at the time of his death. He leaves a devoted and lovable Christian wife, Mrs. Anna Price, who has the deservable credit of being a great factor in the success of her husband. Known relatives are three grand children, two step-daughters and one grandson. The funeral will be held this (Friday) afternoon at 2 p. m., at First A. M. E. church, Rev. J. F. Griffin, his pastor, officiating. His bereaved wife and relatives, including The Advocate staff, have the deepest sympathy of the entire community in this sad hour of sorrow. in a nentertainment at the church and could not get there himself, but believe me, honey, he was represented. I shall not have time to tell you about Edward Waters college, for I am just a little busy, but I went to the window at the stable to purchase a ticket to St. Augustine, and that little wo by cipher whie man looked at me and said "Sam, what do you want"? To this I replied: "This is not Sam, Billy". He turned the colors of the rainbow in the face, and I think I got just a little redmyself, but it was invisible, and he was so excited that he gave me back five cents too much. Some of these white men have a heluva a lot of cheek, and the devil is going to get some of them and burn them up in hell if they don't stop their foolishness. This is no kidding, but the stark naked truth, and you may take my word for it. Well, the time is fast approaching. Prof. Aaron E. Malone is in Cuba, and will soon be home, and I am told, fully restored in health, and I am in Florida, but will not be here all of my life. Pray for me. QMAHA. NEBRASKA: OMAHA, NEBRASKA.

Nearly 1,500 people gathered in the Kansas City, Kansas High school, the largest auditorium in Kansas City, Kansas, and its suburbs, to witness the closing exercises of our popular Night school. On Friday, March 26, by 7 o'clock p. m., standing room was at a premium and many were turned away. As an introduction, Mr. Brooks, chairman of the class, made a fine statement; Rev. James led a prayer, and then had the audience join him in the Lord's Prayer, which is the greatest of all prayers; and the following. fine program was rendered: The Music Class gave its finest chorus as the first number. It was "The Blue Danube", by Strauss. They rendered it with as much volume and beauty as professor ls. The writer loves waltz songs, and with many others tried to get this classical number to come back: "Thoughts of Welcome", by Prof. Lewis' class was given by one lady. "A Club Meeting of Members", from Misses Burk, Lewis and Kelly's class. "Facts About Kansas City, Kansas", by eight ladies and two men from Prof. Curry's class were instructive. "Swift Justice", a playlet of a mock court, was unique and superfine from Miss Davis' English class. Miss Lotie Hall made a fine humorous witness; Mr. B. J. Washington a fine lawyer, and Mr. Freeman, as judge, and the other lawyer and witnesses did well. Vocal solo, Mrs. G. Chester, very sweet. "Do You Knok"? by Miss Johnson's class, unique and instructive. "Automobile class made a fine demonstration. Then came one of the climaxes, the Male Quartet, Messrs. Porter, Mansfield, O. Calhoun and Davis. They received an ovation and triple encore. The Civil Service class of Prof. Buster was also instructive. Demonstration of Tailoring by five men and four women was brief but useful. The Music class sang "Were You There"? with patho's sand expression very appropri- LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Mr. Major Moore, who has lived here 46 years, died March 28, and was buried Sunday, March 28, from Mt. Zion Baptist church, Rev. Payne, Rev. Burkhart of the A. M. E. and Rev. Botts of Omaha officiating. Mrs. P. Stewart read good resolutions from the Mission Circle, and others from other departments and Rev. Botts read Mrs. Matthews' original poem, and Mr. Jeltz sing a solo. Lebanon Lodge of Masons turned out in a body. He being a state house mail carrier, the body was put in a state casket of oak with onyx handles. Some of the many floral offerings were: Broken wheel, from the Commissioner's and State Superintendent's department of the white people; floral compass and square from the Masons, floral offering from the white Baptist church, O. E. S. and many more. Undertaker Matthews (white) was very attentive and polite and the casket was lowered by electricity in the family lot at Wyuka cemetery. Some of those who attended Mr. Major Moore's funeral were: Mrs. Tankie Miller of Phoenix, Arizona, Mr. William Moore of Minneapolis, Mr. and Mrs. Major Moore, Jr. of Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Kansas City; Mesdames Grant and Ross of Omaha, Rev. Botts, Mr. Nettles, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Lewis, Mr. St. Clair and many others. Fort Scott, Kansas The Jubilee concert given at Concert given at Convention Hall by Revs. Young and Tillman, drew a large attendance of the best white people as well as members of the race and all wre highly pleased. The next big concert will be the song recital of Jacob Emmanual Jones, at Wayman April 30. Amount cleared from the door was $136. Mrs. Mary E. Collins has returned from Mound City. Her mother is better. The silver anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Whitener was attended by thirty of their friends Thursday night. They received many handsome silver presents. Topeka Industrial boys beat Fort Scott high i na basket ball game here Saturday night. Fort Scott beat Paola in a game Friday night. Wayman choir will wear robes Sunday. Mrs. Tillman has been invited to speak in Joplin Sunday April 11. Mr. A. Miles, the grocer, states that his son, who has been so sick at Howard University, was able to be moved to his sister's home in Kentucky last week, by his mother. ER. NUMBER 35. Fairfax 1499 HT SCHOOL G EXERCISES ate for near Easter. "The Value of Night School", by students from the rooms of Misses Harlan and Wilson, of Douglass Night School annex, was as enthusiastic as young athletes. The Spanish class of five ladies and five gentlemen sang a song in Español. Miss Jackson's Writing class gave a very precise and mechanical demonstration in their art. The quartet sang "Good Night", but the vast audience was not ready to say good night, so it encored them again. Mr. Potter Gave a report of the Public Speaking class, and after the playlet the Planners and Builders of Prof. Mowbray's and Prof. Starnes' classes, the great chorus, under the unexcelled Prof. Reynolds, sang "Fare You Well". Part two of the program was remarks of commendation by Supt. Pearson, Prof. Morgan, Supt. of Continuation school, and Dr. D. A. Holmes. Both of the latter gentlemen praised the exercises and Dr. Holmes made a plea for all to register and vote for bonds to build some new schools. Prof. J. P. King and his co-workers deserve praise for bringing many adults out and increasing their talents by teaching them more. The average attendance has been about 800, and the school has given near $700 to charity. The following eleven students are graduates of the 1920 Class of Sumner Night school: Isaac Breckenridge. Elizabeth Kinslow. Marie Johnson. Albert Bailey. Edwin Tooley. Joseph William Harris. Arnold Williams. Anna Crump. Ella Cox. Ora Sweetly. Andrew. Ford. MRS: M. C. MATHEWS. J. P. KING THE PREMIER NIGHT SCHOOL PHINCIPAL Prof. J. P. King, one of the noted high school educators and premier night school principals. a K-U. man, deserves the right and title now which he holds, King of Night Schools of Kansas City, Kansas. The closing exercises of last Friday night demonstrated and displayed to the 1,500 present, of both races, that Principal King is able to do a greater work in Kansas City among our people with the night school, if only given an opportunity, and it is the consensus of opinion of the leading people that other night schools should be inaugurated, say Dunbar, Stowe and Argentine, and Prof. King made assistant supervisor. We need them and Prof. King is the one man that not only can make it a success, but merits the opportunity of showing the board of education his further ability in extending the work among those who ought to have a chance to relieve their present condition and bring about a better cotizenship. Mrs. M. C. Matthews went to Lincoln, Nebraska, where she attended the funeral of her brother-in-law, Major Moore. Her original poem on his death was read by Rev. Botts of Omaha. AMERICAN LEGION.

THANKSGIVING SERVIC Ottawa, Kas, March 29.—Sunday was a big day in Pythianism, the oe- casion being the Annual Thanksgiv- ing exercises of Lane Lodge Number 39, and Halley’s Comet Number 24 of Garnett, of which these two alter- nate annually in this yearly program. It was held at the Bethany Baptisé Church, of which Rev. Williams is pastor, and this beautifc! church was filled to its capacity with Knights, Ladies of the Court, and friends. The sermon was deliverel by the Rev. Dr. J. F. Griffin, pastor of the First A. M, E. church of Kansas City, Kansas, which was undoubtedly one of the greatest intellectual treats that an Ottawa audience ever had the pleas- ure to hear. This noted divine and scholarly thinker left with the people of this eity and surrounding com- munity logic and thought that will ever be lasting in the minds and lives of his hearers. Lane Lodge is to be congratulated in bringing to us such men as the Reverend Griffin. Others who made short addresses were: Mr. ‘Thomas Kennedy, of Kan- sas City, Kansas, the Brigadier Gen- eral of the Uniform rank, whose serv- ice in Kansas jurisdiction in this de- partment has been of great worth to the subordinate ledges as well as to the Uniform Rank, having mustered in Victory Company No. 10 of this city about a year ago. Mrs. Norene Davis of Kansas City, the Worthy Grand Chancellor, and who was clected last year at Atlan- tie City Supreme Grand Lecturer, was present and gave a short address She also made the resporse to ths Welcom Address by the church that was so beautifully and intelligently made by Mrs. Allen. The regular Pythian prigram was carried out with Bethany’s excellent Choir leading the musical numbers. The members met at théir Castle Hall at 2 o'clock p. m. and at 2:30 clock p. m., with visiting members from Garnett, lead by Ottawa’s Col- ored band, marched to the church, where the ladies cf the Court were waiting on the outside each wearing black skirts, white waists; with their favorite bouquet, white carnations, ‘The women always lock fine. The local Lodge and Court served an all-day free dinner to all visitors. Mr. and Mrs. C. Hooker, 309 South Oak street were the host and hostess of Dr. Griffin and General Kennedy and entertained the following to a most delightful and delicious dinner: Rev. Williams, Mr. Von B. Brady and Mr. Gayrett. Quarterly meeting was held at the aA. M. E. church Sunday, President Harris of the Topeka District presid- ing. Rev. J. F. Griffin of Kansas City preached at the 11:00 o'clock service, which was full of food for thought Dr. Griffin is a great think- er and a Gospel preacher of few equals. Many visitors were in the city on Sunday and Ottawa people displayed theiz xospitality in that usual high- class manner. 6 Rev. A. J.

Special music by the choir and the new chorister will be in charge for the first time. The Sunday schvol avill have spe- cis] Easter exercises Sunday. The parents would make no mistake if they would send their children to Sabbath school. It was a great shock to the Sun- day evening audience when the news came that one of the old and relia- ble pillars of the church had sudden- ly passed away, Brother Wm. Price. His splendid Christian wife, Sister Price, has the full Christian sympa- thy in her hour of bereavement. The banquet was a great affair, of which more will be said about it next week, “The Christ is Risen.” Come out Sunday and hear a sermon that will do your scuk good, Many strangers are in the city, who have been members of some church at their former homes, but have neglected that privilege and duty since coming to their new home. You are taking desperate chances and away from that protec- tion that every church gives you. The doors of First A, M. E. are always open for humanity. Come Easter Sunday. Allen Chapel A, M. E. Church Rev, M, ©. Knight, Pastor, A spirit of churehgoing interest prevailed in every department of ouz chureh last Sunday. Beginning with the Sunday school, ‘the attendance was larger than any previcus this conference year. Our 11 o'clock service was a treat ‘to all present. Our pastor and choit ‘were at their best and their every effort was reciprocated by their ar- dent hearers, The A. C. E. League meeting was Ted by Miss Maud Dunson Sunday evening and to say the least she proved an efficient and interesting leader. Miss Dunson never spares in preparation, thus she is always able to bring us good things. Mr. H. H. Everett will lead the meeting next Sunday evening. Come on time and encourage the president. Our pastor’s subject on “Strang- ers in a Strang Land,” was well mastered and assimmilated in the hearts of his hearers in the evening service. The Trustees’ Aid Society was or- ganized with Mrs. D, Mcnroe presi- dent. These ladies are preparing to be of great service to the trustees’ department of our church. PROFESSIONAL MEN OF THE RACE, TAKE NOTICEd We women ef the race have taken notice. I have employed colored lawyers every time I have needd thir service, for the last cighteen years, The first colored Jawyer that I employed did not treat me fairly as I thought, so the next, time I needed a lawyer I went to another colored lawyer and have had his service ever since. I have in the last month taken close observation of our race in blusiness and visited several _busi- ness places. In so doing I find that if the business men and women of our race depended upon the support of our professional men they would soon go into bankruptcy, as I failed to ever meet them in these places. Now, professional men, if you will be as loyal to our business men as we women are to the professional men, we will all be doing a thriving business in Kansas City, Kansas, MRS.

Mendenhall, Mayor of the City of Kansas City, Kansas: At a regular meeting of the Board of Education of the City of Kansas City, Kansas, held on the 1st day of March, A. D. 1920, at which five of the six members of said Board of Education were present, a resolution was introduced by Mr. D. Friedman, who moved its adoption, seconded by Mr. A. J. Stanley, and it was carried by a unanimous vote of the five members of said Board who were present. A copy of said resolution is as follows: WHEREAS, it has become neces sary to raise funds to build such school buildings, to make additions to the aforesaid buildings, and to purchase such school sites; and WHEREAS, the Board of Education has prepared an estimate of the cost of such new buildings, additions, and sites, which estimate has been spread upon the records of said Board after having been adopted by a recorded "yea" and "nay" vote of two-thirds of all the members of the Board at a regular meeting held on the 1st day of March, A.

I am proud of the honor and distinction conferred upon me, and can only renew my promise and allegiance to serve you faithfully in the future, as I have tried to do in the past, and keep this branch of the Army in the front rank of Military activities. I want to express my thanks and deepest appreciation to my staff, company commanders, officers and Sir Knights for the support given this office in my preceding two years' administration. And I only ask that your loyalty continue, with an insight of achieving bigger things in these two years than ever in the history of the Sunflower State—Let's Go. At the last Supreme session, at Atlantic City, it was our good fortune and delight to persuade the next Supreme session and Encampment to come to Kansas, which will be held at the State Capital, Topeka, August, 1921.

Now the Lord has spared us to see one more week pass by, with a few days of rainy weather, but after all He gave us a very nice Sunday, even if the wind was rather rude. The Sunday school was beautiful and many good things were found in the lesson. At 11:15 a wonderful sermon was preached by Rev. John Farr. He took for text St. John 5-39. Rev. Cook made a few remarks behind him and they were excellent. The Ministers' and Deacons' Union met at 2:15 in the 2000 block on North Sixth street. The Ministers' and Deacons' Union will meet at 337 Oakland avenue at 2 p. m., on the 11th. Last Sunday night Rev. Cook delivered a fine sermon to his audience and it was very attractive to the heart. The rally will be April 25th, for the benefit of the church. The rally will be all day. The pastor extends an invitation to all ministers to be with us, and any one else. The Bible Band was excellent and it was quite interesting. Brother McLaurance made a very nice speech, and Sister Miller sang her duet, and it was wonderful. Rev. Stuckey, the state evangelist, will preach at 11 a. m., next Sunday. All are welcome. "Where is Christ" the trembling lips Of mourning millions cry. Lie neath our fair free sky! "He is not here," not in our hearts Of mobs more brutes than men, Nor in the hearts of those who keep Silent with voice and pen. But in the hearts of braver men, Like noble old John Brown, The Christ is risen and will dwell, "While truth goes marching on." KATHERINE D. TILLMAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1920 AT EASTER.
