TEAM THAT WERE NOT HERE ON THEIR LAST SERIES. VOLUME VII Immensity of Former Conference Necessitated Making Two of the One Parsons, Kansas, Sept, 20, The Forty-fifth annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, closed its greatest session Sunday night at Brown Cnapel, corner of Washington and Eighteenth streets. The attendance was far the largest in the history of the conference. The reports from every charge showed an increase over previous years and a greater work for the Master. The educational report of which this church is known to have a high standard, was several thousand dollars above any previous conference record. These records were carried out in all other reports. Every minister out of the eighty or more were cheerful and from the time the first session opened Wednesday morning, were anxious to read their annual report. They came with that happy spirit and left when their appointments were read, singing "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go. Dear Lord." Bishop Parks dgalt with his men in a Christian and most fatherly way. He seemed to try in every way possible to do for the best for both minister and church. Split Kansas Conference. What has been known all these years as the Kansas Conference, which took in a part of Nebraska, became so large, it had come the time when the wisdom of the bishop and the members of the conference felt that it ought to be split, or made into two conferences, so much so that it was unanimously adopted. One the Kansas and the other the Nebraska Conference, the former purely of Kansas and the latter Nebraska and Eastern Kansas, taking in all the churches in Wyandotte, Johnson and the counties which Leavenworth and Atchison are in, composed of two presiding elder districts, namely, the Kansas City district and the Omaha district. The last annual session of the old Kansas Conference was honored, as probably never before, it having as its guest, two of its most noted and talked of bishops at this particular time on the bench, Bishops Sampson Brooks and William Tecumseh Vernon, both being elected at the last General Conference at St. Louis, and both being assigned to Africa, who will leave in a short time to take up their work. The addresses by these honored divines were electrifying to the conference as well as to the hundreds of visitors and citizens, who filled this spacious church two successive evenings. The Missionary Society, with Mrs. J. J. Watson, its president, presiding, held their annual session Friday afternoon, which teemed with splendid addresses. Their work for Missions this year, was one of worth and helpfulness. Miss Willa Layes, of Osawatomie, defonstrated her efficiency and devotion to the work, as the society's secretary. Sunday brought to Parsons by steam, interurban and auto hundreds from country and town to worship and hear the appointments. Bishop H. Blanton Parks delivered a masterly and scholarly sermon at the 11 o'clock service, when standing room was at a premium. Rev. J. F. Girfins of First Church, Kansas City, Kansas, preached Sunday evening to an overflow house. His sermon of eloquence and spiritual power saturated his hearers, and his argument Rev. T. W. Green, Jr., the popular pastor and builder of Brown Chapel A. M. E. church of Parsons, Kansas, who entertained the Forty-fifth Annual Conference last week. was so driving and forceful a number came forward and joined the church, one acknowledging Christ for the first time. Brown Chapel choir, under the supervision of that musical genius, Mrs. S. O. Layton, furnished the music for the conference and it can be truthfully said Brown Chapel's choir has the best trained voices in all this western country. Beautiful voices, "Sweet Singers of Israel." a choir that enjoys their own singing. The greatest demonstration when the appointments were read Sunday night, was when Rev. T. W. Green, Jr., was returned to parsons for his seventh year. The members and citizens went wild waving handkerchiefs, hats going in the air, with plaudits from a thousand throats. Rev. Green has built a magnificent church edifice, which is worth $60,000 and only has a little over $3,000 indebtedness. The people in Parsons of all denominations and races idealize this pastor for his Christian character and his worth to the city. He was presented with $100 by his congregation. Probably there is no place where the conferrence has been held, where the people were better entertained in their palatial and well kept homes, and the meals at the church were excellent. Strong resolutions were read from the conference to the pastor, embers and citizens for their royal entertainment and hospitality. Appointments, Kansas Conference Tojeka District: H. D. Harris, P. E.

All of the colored schools in the city were given a half holiday, and with these hundreds of children, in marching order led by a band following in the rear decorated autos, and colored business firms, of various kinds paraded the streets in the western part of the city and then on to the park. A large and enthusiastic crowd filled the grand stand, when the principal speaker, Rev. J. F. Griffin, pastor of First A. M. E. church, made a most pleasing address on "Race Unity," The speaker was given splendid attention. His scholarly logic and oratory brought a great ovation from his hearers all through his forceful address. Father Wright of the Episcopalian church also spoke. It was one of the best demonstrations in honor of this day that has been witnessed in Wyandotte county for many years. Judge I. F. Bradley presided and introduced the speakers. MR. AND MRS.

ADVOCATE Were Well Received by the Next President, Treated With Much Indianapolis, Ind.—Of course you know the real National Baptist convention has been in session this week, or it will be over when you read this letter and I will be in some other part of the world or in some other world. People have died this year who have never died before, but that is not what I am going to talk to you about this week and you will please listen until I get through. Now there is no question about it there has been a convention in this town and the people were here from all over the country as thick as fleas on a dog's back and other parts of him. Now where this multitude came from is to me a question, for I don't know. It was something like that John saw. I was in the number and saw some of the things which went on here. Before saying any more I want to congratulate that large delegation which went to Marion, Ohio, to have a talk with Senator Warren G. Harding, who is to be our next president, and who is going to get this country of ours straight, and I am sure that President Wilson is going to leave some there. The delegation I have spoken of was headed by Dr. E. C. Morris and they went, not as a convention, but a committee two hundred strong. Leaving this city early Friday morning, they landed there, and Rev. W. K. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congrses, had gone ahead with the executive committee of his congress and had an hour's conference with the next president, and was there to meet the committee when it got down. Dr. Jernagin is a man intensely interested in his race, and believe me, he is going to do something before he is through with this world. He is wide awake on public affairs, and for his people is doing a great big service. He will be heard from and will be of great service to his race if Senator Harding is elected and you may put it down that I told you 30. He is now putting Rev. Monroe C. Caver on the map and you need not be surprised at any time to hear that he is appointed a chaplain in the United States army. But now let us see. President E. C. Morris, as I told you, went A.M.E. CHURCH erected by Rev. T. W. Green, Jr., is held last week at Parsons, Kansas. over and he was accompanied by all the men I spoke of and Secretary R. B. Hudson, and Attorney Charles M. Robinson, of Shreveport, La. There were others, but for a reason I have mentioned these three. Of course you know Rev. J. G. Robinson, D.D., LL.D., Ph.D., A.M., B.B., and all the other letters. This fellow got there, too, and tried to get himself on the program, representing the Bishop's Council of the A. M. E. church, and when the Baptists reached there, he tried to impress the senator that it was his crowd, and that the crowd that were there headed by E.P.Jones, were the Baptists, but that thing was soon corrected, and Dr. E. C. Morris was presented, and he said to Senator Harding these words: "We come here as the representatives of the largest religious organization among the Negro people of the world, to extend to you the greetings of the National Baptist convention now in session at Indianapolis, Indiana. Ours, as stated, is religious and not a political organization, yet ninety-nine per cent of the men and women represented by our body, are favorable to the principles of the political party of which you are the standard-bearer in the aprpoaching ing election. PIPE ORGAN RECITAL BY PROF. R. G. JACKSON at FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH EIGHTH STREET AND NEBRASKA AVENUE WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 29 1920 PROF. JACKSON IS KNOWN AS THE GREATEST PIPE ORGANIST IN THE WEST Admission.....50 cents THOS. KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. "We are not here to ask any special favors as a separate and distinct race in this country, neither to evoke any pledge from you as to your attitude when you become president, as we confidently believe you will be the next president. For having watched your acts as a great Christian statesman we believe that when elected you will be the president of all the people of our great country. The platform adopted by your party and your speech of acceptance appeal to us, as we believe they do an overwhelming majority of the American people, as worthy of the hearty support of all patriotic Americans. "You will pardon me, however, I am sure, for reminding you that the people we represent are, and ever have been one hundred per cent Amricans, and have proved it from the days of Crispus Attuck in Boston to the time when the news of the armistice was sounded by the bugle in the Argonie Forrest barely two short years ago. We believe also that it was your good nature and high sense of justice which prompted you in your speech of acceptance to acknowledge the valor of the four hundred thousands black boys who so cheerfully put their necks under the yoke of American patriotism, to secure for all people universal democracy. These brave black boys expect as a reward for the sacrifice they have made, what all others expect as a reward, the security, protection and all the other qualified rights of American citizens as provided in the laws of the country. This much they have a right to expect, and will not be satisfied with less, for the republic must be strong enough to enforce its laws if it is to survive. Elijah Lovejoy, the martyr, said: 'The cry of the oppressed has entered not only my ears, but into my soul, so that I cannot hold my peace!' Lovejoy died, but the cause which he espoused lived on and blessed the world. We believe, sir, that the cry of the oppressed with which our country may have to do, whether in the Philippines, yearning for the promised independence under friendly American protectorate or the American Negro persistently and patiently pleading for the enforcement of a constitution which guarantees to him as to others, citizenship and protection in the lawful discharge of the functions of citizenship—we believe that those cries as well as others worthy of the motive of our matchless American statesmanship have entered your souls. We know that they have entered the ear of the Omnipotent God of the universe. As He has always had a man ready to carry out Heaven's decree, you may, dear sir, he the man to lead in the redemption of our great country from the inequalities, and miscarriages of justice which now prevail, until there is one grand unity of Americanism, prevailing here which never be broken by selfish class spirit or radical propaganda. As you apply your God-given powers to those laudable tasks of lofty statesmanship, we will work and wait, and pray that your efforts not be in vain." Mr. Harding made a heart to heart talk in reply to the men, and they returned to this city pleased with the result. He is a fair-minded man, and just the kind of a man for President of the United States. They are getting ready for the election, and on September 22 representative men of my race will tell the story all over the United Sates and show the voters why they should vote for Mr. President Harding, or make him the real president, and I will second the motion. I am sure you will hear some of these speakers. Commencing with September 22, you will hear every night or some of the men talking about Senator Harding, and he is worthy of being talked about. There is a strong organization in Chicago, with Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, president, and P. W. Howard, secretary, and Robert NUMBER 8. SHALL MEN OF OUR RACE ALLOW THE MOTHER TO NEED? Dunbar's Mother Has Not Even Some of the Necessities of Life "An angel, robed in spotless white, Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night. Men saw it blush, and called it Dawn." "No other race, or white or black, When bound as thou wert, to the rack So seldom stooped to grieving; No other race, when free again. Forgot the past and proved them men, So noble in forgiving. Go on and up! Our souls and eyes Shall follow thy continuous rise; Our ears shall list thy glory From bards who from thy root shall spring, And proudly tune their lyrics to sing Of Ethiopia's glory." Who wrote the above lines; Does anybody know? Yes, everybody knows, but many have forgot that the author was PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR. Would anybody suspect that that great poet's mother, in less than 15 years after his death does not know where her winter's coal is to come from? This astounding fact was brought to light by that peerless yet unassuming business woman, Mrs. Malone, of Poro fame, whose recital in last week's issue of the Baltimore Afro-American is heart-reaching. She was visiting the home of the poet on her way to the session of the Business League, sitting in Philadelphia last month. Really it takes a woman to find out things. If they need improving. Hence Virgil's: "Dux femina facti" and Ruskin's oft repeated verity. "The soul's armor is never well set to the heart unless a woman's heart has braced it, and it is only when she braces it loosely that the honor of manhood fails" Men have passed and even visited the Dunbar home, notwithstanding one of the Y. M. C. A. secretaries in Dayton admitted that he did not know of its existence. But these men contented themselves with dropping a coin in the little receptacle on the table and passing on in silence. One would think that from the copyrights and royalties enough would be realized to enable the mother to live in ease. For surely 26 years (the life of a copyright- have not elapsed, at least, since he wrote his latest works. That, however, is another story. The main question now is shall the surviving members of the great poet's great and generous-hearted race sit unconcernedly by and see his beloved mother want in her declining years the actual necessities of life; simply because she does not complain, does not herald her needs to the sky, but rather suffers in cheerful silence. Now let's see! The noble women of the race have brought the home of the great Douglass. They are affectionately making it a shrine, a place of pilgrimage. Cannot we, men, see to it that Mrs. Matilda Dunbar, who did the race and the world, for that matter, no little service in giving such a son, has, at least, her home made comfortable, and herself plenty to eat and wear.

Office 834 Nebraska ave- MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. FLUNKEYISM. There has arisen on the political horizon, signs of flunkeyism. The flunky, by his very nature is a chamellion; he can dye himself in any hue, become a member of any party. His fundamental property is ubengly. It is reported that a delegation of colored men, called on Mr. Thomas Perkins, who is a candidate for the office of County Treasurer on the Democratic ticket, and asked him if he was elected County Treasure, would he appoint a colored person in his office. Mr. Perkins said, "no." And he added he would rather be defeated than be supported by Negroes. No doubt the reason the gentleman made these remarks is that he wants the Republican county treasurer's job. He thinks talk like that is good dope to catch fish. But he will find out that all the fish that feed on lily white dope were caught six years ago. While the people can be fooled some of the time, they cannot be fooled all the time. Again he will do everything that can happen to disrupt the relations between the races has already happened. We have reached in my opinion the extreme of racial friction and reaction has already set in. The finest types of white men are becoming more and more each year disgusted with the extreme radicalism, with the extreme appeals to foster classes, with the extreme utterances against the Negro. From now on, in my opinion, we are going to witness a sanity of self control, a liberality on the part of the men of the white race toward the Negro, that we have not witnessed in the past. THOS.

THE OHIO RECORD Republicans have won in all but two national election contests since 1860. Twenty of twenty-nine state elections have been Republican. Governor James M. Cox, the Democratic presidential notainee, has never polled a 50 per cent vote in the state; in three elections he has lost 50 out of 88 counties every time. In no election has the vote for governor Cox approached that for Mr. Bryan. In 1914 Governor Cox, running for re-election, carried but 20 counties and wae defeated by a plurality of 29,270. Senator Harding, on the Republican ticket for United States senator, carried 71 counties, and won by the magnificet plurity of 102,373. The personal popularity and the constantly increasing strength of Senator Harding's candidacy clearly indicate that he will win Ohio. Rheumatism A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It In the Spring of 1931 I was attacked by Kusenlar and Inflammatory Rheumatism. I entered as only those who have it know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, and doctor advised me only to take only temporary. Finally, I found a remedy that cured me completely, and it has never returned. I have given it to a number who, were terribly afflicted, and even bedridden with rheumatism, and were treated with it, and results were the same as in my own case. I want every sufferer from any form of rheumatic trouble to try this marvous healing remedy. I have given it to my name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked-for means of getting rid of rheumatism, you can send it one dollar, but understand. I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it. It must not thatfy. Why suffer any longer when we are thus offered you free? Don't delay. Write it. Mark H.

There has been no pastor in the history of this plant, that has done so much for this people, as this great man of God. His reports showed to be the largest in all of its days and his stay here is indefinite. Come out Sunday and hear a great sermon from the late pastor and hear a report of interest from the Annual Conference. The services Sunday were conducted by the assistant pastor, Rev.

Rev. J. W. Warren has just vnished a very successful year's work at this place. His last financial effort was a Mock Annual Conference, which created much interest in the church, and the results were gratifying in every respect. There were four districts with presiding elders, and each side had from six to eight preachers in her district. The "Sam Hill District, Rev. John Doe, D. D., P. E." in the person of Mrs. Susan Mason, raised $78.80. "Clear Water District, Rev. Samuel Goodall, D. D., P. E." in the of Mrs. Alice McAdoo, raised $72.95. "St. Louis District, Rev. T. H. Aldridge, D. D., P. E." in the person of Mrs. Mollie Aldridge Seaborn, raised the highest amount, $150.01, and will be rewarded with a prize for her excelent work. "Chicago District, Rev. John H. Poindexter, D. D., P. E." raised $38 in the person of Mrs. Gaddison. There were also four evangelists, who and good work, and Sister Ella B. Jones brought in $1.25 to the conference. All the leading workers were women except the Bishop, Rev. Culpepper, D. D., LL. D., in the person of Mr. Frank Wilson. Mr. Wilson showed much interest in the work all the way through, presided well and made an excellent bishop. The brethren of the church, although not leaders, responded liberally to the call of the sisters, and many friends out of town (space will not permit us to give names), also sent donations from one to five dollars for which the church thanks them and assures them it was highly appreciated. The conference workers only had one month in which to work and raised $372.16, which was used to pay our Education assessment for Quindaro school and the remainder, $291.16, went to the trustees indebtedness of repairing the parsonage. At the close of the Conference the church extended a vote of thanks to workers. Mrs. Borders, 1523 North Eighth street, is confined to the bed with illness.

New Jersey Chemist offers generous supply of the wonderful remedy free. No wonder Mrs. Jackson is anxious to have the whole world know what Dr. Kline's Epileptic Remedy did for her. Doctors tried and failed to help her. Fifteen convulsions in three hours is a terrific experience. Bat Mrs. Jackson is well now. Read how it all happened: St. Peters, Pa. Dr. P. H. Kline Co. White St., Red Bank, N. J. Gentlemen. About six years ago I was taken with convulsions. I had fifteen convulsions in about three hours and all they worked for some time, then I was sent to the hospital and there I laid for three weeks before I knew where I was. I stayed at the hospital for four years and outpatient took me home. Every year after that I would have several attacks of convulsions. A little over two years ago when I had four very hard convulsions of Dr. Kline's Epileptic Remedy, I was anxious to try anything as I was troubled so severely. I got one bottle and took it and it made me well, it which I did, and at the present time I never felt better in my life.

I was not aware of the weakness from exposure to the germ of disease that affected my throat and lungs until I obtained a small pamphlet that explained my symptoms, which I immediately accepted as the truth and at once followed the suggestions and bought a bottle of Rose Bay from our good friend and advisor who has made many happy homes through his timely advice and encouraging experiences related to him from others who are now well and happy.

You Cannot TEMPLE NOTES Again a large congregation assembled during the pastor's absence at the morning service to hear Dr. Richardson's sermon on Missions on Women's Day, September 19th. His text was from St. John XII:5-8. He used "Mary anointing eJsus' feet," symbolically to teach the need of giving for Missions; and not be narrow hearted like Judas. Many of the good things he said were sanctioned. Preceding him, Mrs. Battles read a paper. After the sermon, Mrs. G. Chester of First Baptist, sang a solo, "Father in Heaven." The announcements were made by Mrs. Z. Jones, secretary of Metropolitan Mission, and five ladies took up a collection of $32 for Missions. Some one requested Mrs. Chipley to sing her favorite solo, and the morning service closed with the musical borediction. Gloria Patria. At 8 p. m., many came to hear Dr. Bolden. Opening, "The Lord is in His Hylo Tefple;" The Lord's prayer; 23rd psalm repeated; invocation, Rev. Ophelia Calhoun; Then Dr. Bolden was introduced and took for his text Matt, VIII;26. The Tempest Stilled, subject, "Contrary Winds." He taught a great spiritual and moral lesson as to how Christians as well as sinners get tossed about by contrary winds of jealousy and other sins., but we must not give up our trust in God, who will bring us out as conquerers. Many sanctioned his beautiful intelligent sermon, and some shouted for joy. The collection was large. Next Sunday morning, Bishop W. T. Vernon will preach. Come and hear this scholarly preacher. At night, Rev. Alva Royston, the earnest, truthful Christian preacher will preach; don't fail to hear this God-sent man. At 2 p. m., at Metropolitan, the famous Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias will have their annual sermon. Come to church next Sunday, September 2th, and come praying. Some of the congregation received letters from Pastor Holmes, who is in New York. Mrs. Tina Johnson, of New York. after September 15, 1920, will practice at 1009 Freeman avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. Residential calls solicited. I wish to extend my appreciation and thanks for the honor bestowed upon me by the late A. M. E. Conference in my election as a trustee of Wilberforce University. T. W.
