West Palm Beach, Florida.—I think if I had it in my power to make a world there are some people I would exclude, and I don't blame the devil for taking some folks unto himself from time to time. But he will find that there are a few of them who would double-cross his satanic majesty and take charge of the place of perpetual summer, where the wind was never known to blow. In a world like this there are men and there are man, and there are men, and I have in mind some this week, that I have discovered while down here, and the greatest man in the world in our race is a man by the name of Dr. S. D. Pannell, who was at one time second waiter at Hotel Royal Joinciana, and was for a few hours head waiter in name, and the time he thought he had it, it slipped from under him and he did not get to even close the hotel season, but left singing "I Thought I Was Monarch of All I Surveved." Of course, the doctor was a great man, and is a great man today, and believe me when I tell you, honey, he will wield great influence in the other world, and of course it will be a summer resort, and I expect to see him not a mere head-waiter, but a steward and proprietor, for he has great aspirations, and I fear that because of ambition the devil will have to step aside in order to prevent a strike in Hades and let Doctor Pannell come forward and take charge. I do not say this to be true, but such stuff as this is running through my mind. I don't know just how many years this great man has been acting as second man to a refined, modern, Christian gentleman, Joseph S. McLain, who has been headwaiter for a quarter of a century, and has made many friends. He has always been regarded as a fair man with friends to match, and right by his side has been that superior man, whose ambition was to go to the top, and like Richard III, "I'll get her, but will not keep her long." McLain has been saving his money and has invested from time to time with a desire some day to retire from seating the guest and become a business man. He thought that he had reached the place to retire and turn things over to his second man. He was looking forward to going home with his wife this summer, and make some business plans to take up in the fall, and let the learned Dr. Pannell take charge of the hotel at Saratoga, and next season the same Dr. Pannell return to this place as headwaiter of that big hotel which meant much. All the time Dr. Pannell's fertile brains have been in operation and his think tank going, and there were others who believed in the greatness of Dr. S. D. Pannell, and they let him know it. They told him that he was a smart man, and that he should be head-waiter and be it right now, not to wait until McLain turned it over, for he was a better looking man, and a smarter man, and this no one can doubt. So, headed by Charles S. Alexander, of Baltimore, the ball was started to rolling by which that smart man should land in the gloryland. A committee, or something like that was formed and on that was Charles S. Alexander, Charles H. Daniels, of Germantown, Penn., William H. Tyler, Washington, D. C.; James M. Huntley, of New York; R. N. Thomas, of Hot Springs, Va., and Thomas C. Anderson, of Asbury Park, N. J. These men demanded for the waiters an increase of $15 monthly in salary, making it $55 instead of $40 a month, and transportation both ways instead of one way. They toted their troubles to Headwaiter McLain, whose is was not to grant, but could ask for it, which was turned down, and I am told by a waiter that the next thing was they went to the white folks, and old them W. H. LAMBRIGHT, President, THOS. KENNEDY, JOHN KINNEMORE, what was what, and unless the demands were granted there would be trouble in the camp. 'It was just before dinner; fifteen hundred guests to be served; when the men not only demanded an increase, but demanded that the head-waiter, the most valuable man, be discharged and an increase made. It was at this point that Mr. McLain proved a hero. He went to the managers, who were willing to fight the strike, and said that he was only one man, that he did not want the hotel management embarrassed, and for the sake of peace and harmony he would place in the hands of the manager his resignation to take place at once. The guests heard of it and wanted the head-waiter to remain, but he insisted on retiring and letting the work go on. The manager said: "It is just like you, McLain, ready to sacrifice yourself for others." That was the teaching of Christ, and this young hero was willing to follow it, declaring "I live not for self, but for others." Now this is where my great man comes in. This is where he showed his hand. This is where he was made head-waiter, and as a Benedict Arnold at the head of an army or some other great general like Benedict Arnold, the new general addressed his army. "Now you have a head-waiter who will fight for you, who will go to the front for you, who will see that you get justice, who will be your friend." A head-waiter with a backbone. Dinner was served, McLain had left the hotel, when the manager learned the true history of the case; sent for McLain, and told him that his resignation was not accepted, that he was still head-waiter, and wanted that he remain, only on a short vacation. There was a contract with Dr. Pamell, and the hotel people were willing to carry it out, but declared that they could get along without this great man the minute his contract was up, and so it was. When the big crowd had left the hotel and only a few more left, Dr. Pannell was given his "In God We Trust," and McLain was called in to finish up the year's work. He closed the hotel, and now Dr. Pannell will have to seek other quarters, as will some of his Meddlesome Matties, who sought to have Joseph McLain shrouded in gloom. We don't know—nor care—what hotel brand or pill brand is blazoned on Doctor Pannell's halo, but we would have a few words with his asininityship. "On what heat hath this our Caesar fed that he hath grown so great?" These waiters, headed by that great man weren't counting noses on Heaven's battlements where only the sanctified count. They weren't weighing "Hosannas" nor "Ahmens" nor "Glovies to God." They were counting terrestrial noses in the terrain of Hotel Royal Poinciana in order to ascertain the wishes of the new god whom they desired to serve. With this band of misguided "reformers" following the gonfalon of his upraised ears and keeping step to his hee-haws count any more than the unhaloed variety? He stepped down to not return even at a costless gift. "Of course this absurd proposition, born in the brain cells of deluded grandeur and nourished in the ministerial atmosphere of egotistical gaseousness, didn't work. Big hotel managers do not fall at such swollen bunk. But I think I have said enough for this week about this, and will turn my attention to other things. It is nice to tell people how great men become great in their own estimation, and great with a question mark in the estimation of others. You see I am way down in Florida, and you will see what I am doing and how I am doing it. You will see that I am getting about some little. While in the city I was the direct guest of Dr. T. R. Vickers, a young man, and one of the best physicians in the state, and I am the indirect guest of Dr. J. H. Terrell, the tooth dentist doctor who half-soles teeth in the latest improved style. Dr. Vickers is a graduate from the medical department of Howard University, and is one of the best that has been turned out from that school. He is just a busy man all the time, and enjoys a large practice. So well up is he in this medicine business that both races call on him. His wife, who is a native of Washington, D.C., with the two members of the family, is spending her winter in Washington and Dr. Vickers is his own housekeeper, but he knows that business as well. I am State with one of our rare modes of oceanic Florida tute in the race try. Soon will will, will more than I sit his position on chickens through THE KNIFE AND FORK BE THE GRANDEST AFFA THAT EVER WAS GI THE KNIFE AND FORK BANQUET WAS THE GRANDEST AFFAIR OF ITS KIND THAT EVER WAS GIVEN IN THE CITY THE KNIFE AND FORK BANQUET WAS THE GRANDEST AFFAIR OF ITS KIND THAT EVER WAS GIVEN IN THE CITY The Knife and Fork Banquet at the A. M. E. church last Wednesday evening was the best in the history of the six banquets that have gone into history. From the very first thought of a banquet to the last fork that was cleared away everything ran as smoothly as a shin on a calm lake. Such was the preparation and execution. Too much cannot be said in praise of everyone who had the slightest share in it. Promptly at the appointed hour Prof King, master of ceremonies; Prof. Pickens, speaker of the occasion, and Prof. Gregg, who was to introduce the speaker; Dr. Peck, whose pleasure and privilege it was to lead the hosts gathered to a throne of grace, marched into the auditorium amid the strains of rapturous music, rendered by the orchestra of Western University. The auditorium was crowded with an alert, expectant audience. The printed program was unique. It revealed the large number of businesses conducted by our people and also contained all the various boards and officers of the A. M. E. church, cuts of the pastor, Rev. Griffin, and the church exterior and interior. The organ prelude by Mrs. L. C. Summers was a delight. This is always to be expected from Mrs. Summers. Seldom do we take occasion to comment upon prayer, but Dr. Peck is especially touching at prayer. Mr. Tilford Davis inspired and stirred the audience by rendering one of his own poems on the colored soldier in the late war. The vocal solo rendered by Mrs. J. H. Bluford was pleasing and captivating. The introduction of the speaker by Prof. G. A. Gregg, president of the N. A. A. C. P., was surprising for its beauty, for heretofore introductory remarks have been so long that they intruded upon the main speaker and the patience of the audience. He briefly presented the life history of the speaker and then introduced Mr. William Pickens, assistant Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. He spoke on Inter-racial Co-operation. Mr. Pickens employs a philosophical humor that is amusing and at the same time constructively convincing. He holds that the white man has been trying to solve the race problem alone for centuries and failed and that we need not start that way. Co-operation is the need. Mr. Pickens is fair with both or all races gathered in his hearing. A judge who heard him said he had never before heard a speaker who treated his white and colored auditors so fairly. He stated that the had misgivings about the race problem, but believes Mr. Pickens has the solution. Mr. Pickens will do much good COMPANY TO OPEN BETT M. & O.

He is modest as any woman, as deep as the ocean, and he is doing big things. The Florida Normal and Industrial Institute is destined to be the school of the race in this section of the country. They have the land, and just as soon as they can get it paid for you will see building go up, and then you will, see the school grow. They have more demands for space right now than they have the space. I shall tell you about Dr. Vickers, his practice, his automobile car wagon carriage and his dog and his chickens and how he worked his way through school in another letter. for the N. A. A. C. P. Notes. Mr. Pickens was taken for an hour auto ride over the two cities and finally stopped at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Dwiggins, where laden tables awaited them. Mrs. Rollins was the cateress. After remarks by Mr. McClelland, Prof. Hodge, Prof. Gregg, Rev. Griffin, Miss Kelley and Mr. Pickens and Mrs. Dwiggins, the reception party departed for the church. The banquet—well music here was furnished by the Kansas City Orchestra. The banquet—words, mere words—pleasing to the eye, satisfactory to the taste and enjoyed by all—The banquet, etc., etc. Mr. McClelland and Mrs. Dwiggins managed well, Mrs. Cahill, the utteress, demonstrated to the 1,000 banqueters, she carried in stock in her menu that many tastes. It was simply superb. Mr. E. Smith, an old head waiter of days gone by showed he had not fongotten how to handle a crowd. The best ever. Lawyer Green and Editor Kennedy ate by proxy, as both were at the Republican state convention. It is said by Manager McClelland that when all reports are in the receipts will go beyond the $1,000 mark. Bigger, better than ever. Who is the 1921 manager? NOTICE. Dear Co-Workers: To all who have not responded; In the Christian Recorder appeared an appeal as follows Rev. H. G. Knight died at Hollandale, Miss., January 5, 1920. He had suffered much from "African Malaria." He gave his life for Africa. His wife and three small children are left without any money, and she, an educated African girl, is six thousand and four hundred miles from home. Help them—prayers, tears and money. I want every local missionary society in the A. M. E. church to hold a meeting, collect some funds and send the amount collected to me. I will use that money in sending them back to Africa. Any minister and society who cannot be touched by this appeal is heartless. I will publish in the Christian Recorder all moneys and by whom sent. Brother Knight spent ten years in Africa. He and Rev. T. J. Clarke went with our first missionaries, January, 1909 His friend— W H. HEARD, 1426 Rockland St. Philadelphia, Pa. 1426 Rockland St., Philadelphia, Pa.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation assembled in the Temple and at 11 a.m., listenedtened to Dr. H. T. S. Johnson, of Tulsa, Okla., and one of the best M. E. pastor's presch. He preached intelligently on the subject, "Launch out in the Deep." He believes in real prayer, not formal prayers; and thinks our people are optimists; also thinks God wants us to teach the Brotherhood of Man" by enduring as we have endured the many unkindnesses. At his conclusion, Pastor Hormes led the congregation in singing the beautiful, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." Some joined the church. Two were candidates for Baptism. The choir sang the beautiful "There is a Fountain," and afterwards the pastor baptized and it afterwards the pastor baptized and it to hear the believers praising God. At 8 p.m., although the rain made the weather inclement, another large crowd gathered in this one of the largest auditoriums of our people, to hear the famous Dr. M. J. Johnson, of Boley, Okla. He is called the best M. E. preacher in the Lincoln Conference. His text was from I Peter 2:7, "Unto you, therefore, which believe Jesus is precious." He made beautiful comparisons and metaphors of gold, diamonds, sunlight, water, etc., and they answered, "We have no inherent value," and found nothing abso­ brought out plainly Christ's relation brought tout plainly Christ's relation to us, and His plan of Salvation. Said in part, "If we have Jesus, we have all." His climax was so very beautiful it caused much Christian sanction. About $15 was given the two M. E. preachers who pleaded for us. Also our simple ordinary collection of about $100 for ourselves. Pastor Hormes haptized a sick girl in the afternoon; also baptized for his third time the same day, when he did so at night. Come to the Temple on Snuday April 18. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH SERVICES Although the weather was inclement it had no effect upon the congregation of the First Baptist church. The congregation was highly entertained by the choir, who rendered their beautiful Easter cantata, whose director is the only and the greatest musical director we have in the whole city, Prof. T. H.

Johnson, one of the first four mailcarriers when the Kansas City, Kansas, postoffice free delivery, tell that he is the only one of the four first still living. All were heartily cheered.

The Bright, Breezy Musical Review "Hello 1919" now playing at the Auditorium Theatre, Kansas City, Mo., headed by the incomparable Frank Montgomery and Dainty Florence McClain, is one of the fastest musical comedies that ever hit Kansas City. It has twelve scenes, all beautiful, and Frank Montgomery is a Bert William's number two. And Florence McClain is one of the prettiest and the most graceful leading ladys ever with a colored show. And here are the principals and believe me it is some cast: Dyke Thomas, Alice Ramsey, Maxie McCree, Daisy Martin, Gus Butler, Margaret Scott, Paul Floyd, Artell Townsen, Bobby Jones and Tiny Ray. This is the biggest bunch of stars ever with a colored show. They got a late start Monday night, but Frank Montgomery kept the audience roaring every time he appeared. To tell you the truth we didn't see enough of him. And Miss McClain sang a song about My Man and every man sitting around me commenced sitting me taking notice. Even the ladies were saying "Isn't she cute?" And the girls and comedians in the show did their part to make the show a great big success. Don't fail to see this show as it is a show well worth seeing. If you want to see funny comedians and pretty girls. Because "Hello 1919" has a beauty chorus direct from New York, and dear old Broadway. Next week this clever company will give you an entire new show with fifteen different scenes and the same great cast. The name of the show next week is "The Follies of Nineteen-Twenty." We desire to thank all of our friends for their kindness to us during our daughter's and sister's death, Mrs. Mahal Holaway. Please excuse the delay, as I left shortly afterward for Minneapolis, where I now reside. We desire to thank our neighbors and friends for their assistance, kindness and sympathy during the illness and death of our baby. We also wish to show our appreciation to those who so kindly gave expression of sympathy and help in any way during the illness of husband and father, A. G. Monroe, of Eudora, Kansas; also for the floral offerings.

Johnson, of Boley, Okla., pastor of the M. E. church of that city, who was attending his annual conference here, delivered an excellent sermon. Dr. Johnson is a strong, forceful Gospel preacher. The pulpit was filled at the evening service by another member of the conference, Rev. W. L. Darius, of Colorado Springs, he being an old friend and schoolmate of Dr. Griffin. He delivered a fine message to a fair Sunday night audience. The choir rendered excellent music all day under the new conductress, Miss Zacra. The anthems were the best heard in this church for some time. The attendance at the Sabbath school was good and their drive for 500 scholars by June 13th is progressing nicely. Dr. Griffin has not been so well this week, but expects to fill his pulpit Sunday. Reports of the banquet are still coming in, and by Sunday a full report will be read. So far it exceeds all previous ones. A small summer-rally of $5,000 is being organized, which will be known as the William Price Memorial rally. The Junior choir has a fine instructor and in a short time will come before the public. The Senior choir will have to keep busy or this young choral choir will make it restless. Come out Sunday and bring your friends and neighbors and hear the word of God. Send your children to Sabbath school and let them be trained up in the church. The boulevard around the church is looking beautiful since it has been covered with its green velvety carpet of sod. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD (C. W. F. F.) Rev. J. A. Cook, Pastor 337 Oakland avenue On April 4th we had a big snow storm. On April 11th we had quite a bit of rain, but nevertheless for all of the bad weather, we had some faithful members out at our Sunday school. The scholars had a nice lesson for the teacher and everything was carried out lovely. Sister F. L. Christians, the general superintendent of the Church of God, was present and she made a beautiful lecture and said many sweet things and uplifting words for humanity. Rev. Farr preached for Rev. Cook at the morning service, and he did remarkably well. In the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the Ministers' Union met and a grand old Bible discussion was carried out. The Union will meet again at 2932 North Sixth street May 2nd at 3 o'clock p.m. The Bible Band was splendid and the lesson was discussed well. At 8:20 o'clock Rev. Cook preached a lovely sermon to his congregation and he spoke some deep, sensible words. Remember April 25. The rally will convene all day at the church. All are welcome to be present.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK Pay to the order of Rev. N.E. Paxton Only Fifty Two Cent 52¢ Each Church Member ~and for 34 Years Work THAT is the kind of increase in salary the minister has received. His living expenses have risen just as fast and as far as yours. But he is paid on the average just 52 cents more per church member than he was paid 34 years ago. The Minister Never Fails You Every officer of the Government with a war message to deliver appealed to the ministers first of all. But 80% of the ministers receive less income than government economists figure as a minimum for the support of an average family. When hospitals need money they enlist the support of the ministers—and receive it. But when sickness visits the minister or the members of his family they must be treated in a charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborer's. 8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than $20 a week—about half the pay of a mechanic. We Pay Him Half the Wages of a Mechanic And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do you contribute? Nothing if you are outside the church; an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church member. All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to the community. They marry us; bury us; baptize our children; visit us when we are sick. In their hands is the spiritual training of the youth. We Are All Profiteers at Their Expense Part of the Interchurch World program is this—a living wage for every minister of Jesus Christ; an efficient plant, and a chance to do a big man's job. If you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers better. It's the best investment for your community—and for your children—that you can ever make.
