MIDNIGHT ALMOST MOBBED BY MEN WHILE IN MIAMI Titusville, Fla.—I have about decided to go over to Africa, India, China and Japan and see if I can secure some missionaries to come over here and help to civilize some of our white folks down in the southland, and if so I would be willing to work for them the rest of my life, and God would reward them also. As I take my pen in hand to write to you this week, I am thinking about the people in Heaven or the other place, who went there from the Williams "Death Farm," some of them we will never know of and some we have heard about. I wish that Williams and Manning and all the others who had anything to do with putting to death the men who could not help themselves, would land so far in hell that it would be hard for the devil himself to locate their number, saying nothing about the street on which they may be burning. They have earned the lowest place in his Satanic majesty's kingdom and they should have it. The prisons of this country, with all their conveniences, are too good for them. But I do not write about Williams, for I have troubles of my own this week, and I want to thank God that I am still alive and see some people's faces, because it looked dark and gloomy one night down in Miami, the place that is going to be brought to civilization yet. It will take a little more preaching and praying to do it. Of course, you remember Miami, for it was here where they tried to lynch a man for driving an automobile owned by a wealthy man from Virginia. That fellow had to do some good running and made good his escape. The "peack" declared that "a nigger must not drive an automobile, because that is a white man's job." Time passed on, until one day the thinking class of my people declared that they were not "niggers," but men and they had a right to drive automobiles or any other kind of biles they desired to run, and they got full of the devil and his juice, and the fun was on. There was a real old time picnic in Miami and when it was ended the police station was filled with men, and the judge, being a real man, inflicted a fine on the white men who molested my people and we have been running them cars ever since. But now what has all this to do with me? Nothing. I have been in Miami, because my last letter was from there. I wrote it before Monday, hence could not tell you in it what happened Monday night but, will let it fly now. I spoke to the people Sunday and Monday. I condemned in strong language the women of my race who mixed on the other side, and declared that she was not worth h—l room. While I was talking Monday night one woman walked out, and what happened I do not -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE -TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 know, and will not venture to say. Things moved along all right and the meeting closed. Many people shook my hands, and the Rev. Dr J. R. Evans declared that I had made a good talk. This was all right for me, and I was feeling good over it. You see I was stopping with Dr. and Mrs. Evans, and we had gotten through and were on our way home, there being one or two with us. We were passed by an automobile car, carriage filled with white men, and when they had passed us the car was halted, and they all jumped out and surrounded me. "Are you the man who made the speech at the church tonight?" was asked by the foreman. "I am, sir," was my reply. "We have been informed that you are saying things which will make trouble between the races." "Not a bit of it, sir," was my next reply, "but what I am saying will be helpful to the races. I am condemning sin of every grade." Dr. J. R. Evans, a manly man, spoke up and what he said to those men were the words of a real man. Then it seems that men of our race came from every direction, and the officers got themselves back in their ears, after looking at my cards, and said: "You may preach all you want against sin, and get the sinners into the fold, but do not start any trouble here. I will never be able to tell you how so many black men got there in such a short time, for they did not come in automobiles. I was told by one man that "we saw them drive up and take a stand opposite the church and it was then we decided they were up to some devilment, and we just prepared to meet anything they might start." After this was over, men proposed to guard the house where I was stopping and to see that there was nothing doing that night, but I assured them that it was not necessary, that I would take care of the situation from within, but they had me to move over to the Dorsey hotel, where many of our men came and shook my lily black hand, saying: "Be not afraid, for we are with you until Gabriel toots his horn." At 2:30 o'clock I was in the East Coast stable awaiting for the carriage to tote me over to that wonderful bridge to Key West. Have you ever been over it? If not, I would recommend that you make the trip. It is the gateway to Cuba, and you ride almost 150 miles over water on a train. It is a wonderful piece of work, and you should not make your final trip to Heaven without seeing this. I had a great time on the island of Key West, and returned to the mainland, got my things together in Miami and made it to Cocoa, Fla., where I was booked to do some more talking. The people turned out in large numbers to hear what I had to say. I told them the story of the Cross, so to speak, the story of (Concluded on Fourth Page) Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, April 29, 1921 KNIGHTS OF TABOR HALL NINTH STREET AND EVERETT AVENUE ALL MUSIC LOVERS WILL DO WELL TO HEAR HER Admission----Adults, 50c; Children, 25c REV.

I arrived in Topeka on last Wednesday morning. I am stopping at Elder J. J. Palmer's, the state cabinet of the Church of the Living God. Wednesday night preaching was just excellent. Sister Maggie Palmer, a grand missionary, made the leading talk, and was followed by the pastor. He preached a wonderful sermon. Afterward an invitation was extended; one young man anchored on the Word. The pastor asked me to have something to say. I said a few encouraging words and in the midst of my talk introduced The K. C. Advocate, which a number of subscriptions will be placed on your mailing list. On last Friday I stopped in at the Plaindealer office, and there I met several members of the Plaindealer staff. Topeka seems to be a very progressive city. On last Friday the Jubilee Singing choir met at 8:15 at Fifteenth and Quincy streets, with Sister Palmer the instructor. On last Sunday morning Sunday school was called to order by the superintendent, Brother Grey, The Sunday school was fine and a good lesson was recited. The rostrum was filled with Elder Staple and Elder Bradfbd. Elder Staple was the first speaker. Both speakers have only preached in the Church of God about four months. They preached so well, as though they had been preaching four years. Elder Palmer made the closing talk. On last Sunday afternoon at 3:30 the Church of God had a baptizing. Elder Palmer officiated. The Bible Band met at 5 p. m. A good lesson was recited. At 8:15 preaching by Elder J. J. Palmer. After the sermon the Lord's prayer and foot washing took place. The Church of the Living God is located at Fifteenth and Quincy streets. All are welcome to this temple at any time. You will hear from me by May 2nd. You may expect a large number of subscriptions in my next report. W.C. ARCH. Y. W. C. A. IN DRIVE The Yates branch of the Young Women's Christian Association has been in a campaign drive this week for aid to maintain this helpful and deserving institution. The drive was for four hundred dollars, which was a small amount when taking into consideration the number of colored people here and the cause it is for. We have not been informed as to what amount of these figures have been secured, but from the effort of our untiring women has put forth in this needed drive their allotted amount, or more, should have been reached. Mrs. Brown, mother of Dr. D. A. Holmes, is reported ill at her daughters, on State avenue. Number 39 SUMNER H. S. LADS MAKE HIS- TORY BY ANNUAL Sumner High school is to attempt this year a high school annual which is to stand so far above the others produced it may well be called the first annual. Sumner does not really publish a book annually. The only other publications of this kind have been issued in 1911 and 1919. These were mere booklets and compared with what the annual staff have in mind this year. Wikkerson and Gayden according to J. A. Hodge, principal of Sumner high school, have the ability and initiative to put out an outstanding book. One handicap, however, faces the editor and manager and their assistants. There is the problem of getting advertisements. There are no big business houses among our people from which to draw ads. Nevertheless, the boys have mapped out a campaign that will bring in the necessary ads from firms which do a large business with colored people, which includes practically every business house on Minnesota avenue. The staff working on the annual has shown great resourcefulness in working up an interest in the student body, in getting snap shots, in securing ready cash, and in the sale of the book itself. The greatest good the boys pictured are doing is to make it easy for the next staff to put out a creditable book. They have broken the ice and created sentiment for the publication of a school annual where only indifference and opposition have heretofore held sway. The book will be distributed the last week of school and the cost is estimated at $2. K. OF P.

He was elected provisional deputy to the last general convention which met at Detroit, Mich., and as such represented the diocese of Nebraska.

CHURCH NEWS The Sabbath brought out a large concourse of worshippers to First Church at the morning service, with many friends and visitors, whose presence are always welcome Rev. J. D. Barksdale, editor of the Western Christian Recorder, delivered the message. While the doctor did not call it a sermon, but a talk on his recent travels through the south, and the conditions he found and observed in many localities, in the lives of the human family, and especially the rural environments of the race. He gave the moral and immoral, the latter not by choice, but through force and threats of violence, by a superior race of brutes. Doctor Barksdale may not call his talk a sermon, but his hearers drank in his words relating to sin and crime being so heaped upon practically a defenseless people every heart went up to God for their deliverance. It was a sermon indeed, for humanity. At 3 o'clock, Rev. Moses Williams, pastor of Mt.Zion Baptist church, under the auspices of the Pulpit Aid Board, with his choir, were present. Without a doubt, Rev. Williams preached one of the best and most helpful sermons that has been delivered from this pulpit for many a day. His talk was the kind that makes people think. He showed in a concise, logical and forceful way, whereby so many of our young people, drift from the church and its righteousness by little no-harm amusements, such as, the movies, dance halls and society card parties. The choir rendered excellent music, the audience greatly enjoying the sermon and the music. Rev. Williams, have a warm place in the hearts is and always will be woman, of First Church. Come again! The Mite Missionary society had charge of the evening service, Mrs. Woodfork, president.

There are many Colored American Farmers in Missouri as well as elsewhere who have been very successful in gathering about them the wealth of the land. Some have raised large and useful families have been mighty men in their day and in their community, but Time has wrought his change. Friends and family are gone. The light and bounding steps of other years now give place to rches and pains. Nervous prostration, rheumatism and general debility have now taken the place of all the strength, health and agility of a period long passed. The approach of age, with money and means, is now left to this mighty man of the past. He needs a place where he may build himself a little cottage among congenial friends, who like himself linger lovingly in life. A place where the touch of the world is not denied him, where the rapidly moving throng will give him a smile, a word of cheer as it passes on. Such a place is Randolph Springs. J. C.

In my getting around, I do not say anything about getting guns and things like that, but I tell them to get Jesus, and there is some kind of instinct that will tell them the rest. I believe in peace, in law and order, in self-protection, in self-help, in praying to God, and then if necessary, help to answer your prayers This is possible, and I am not preaching it, but it is being leaned. "Ask your Saviour to help you," and I am sure he will guide and keep you. "He will carry you through." Why should any man advise people to get things with which to destroy human life in an age like this? It is not necessary, but you point them upward. Point them to a higher civilization. Point them to the preachment of ex-President Wilson, "Preparedness. Nothing more." I enjoyed very much being in Key West, and in Cocoa, for both are fine places. Rev. William Tate D.D., pastor of the Baptist church where I am writing you this time, got himself together early Friday morning and got his carriage invented, by Mr. Ford, and came down to Cocoa after me, bringing me up to this place, and introducing me to his wife, who is a cultured young woman; also his brother's daughter, Miss Ruby Tate, a teacher, and we had our breakfast eats, for he came early in the morning, and then he got that Ford invention and toted me about 12 miles to the St. John river to fish. On our way there, he ran over a blacksnake and sent him to Snakedom, and that man was just pulling in the fish. One PAGE FOUR fell over on the grass and he looked and saw Mr. Snake going after him. Dr. Tate looked at that old gentleman for a while and my mouth was about to jump out of my heart. He pulled his little smoke wagon, and started it to smoking, and when the smoke was all gone that snake had left this world also. He will eat no more fish, nor excite no more men like me. He is dead. Dr. Tate is one of the leading preachers in this section of the country and is doing great things. He is loved by all the children of the town, especially the boys, and he is a man to be loved. I am thinking well of him myself. He is not only a preacher, but he is a teacher, being at the head of a public school at Mims, Fla., a little place just five miles from here. It is a wealthy community of my people.' They own some real fine orange groves, and they have money also. I would like to tell you all about these things, but time will not permit me to do so. I am getting ready to go to New York, and you may send me a letter to 62 Bible House New York City. I shall have a few things to say about the Sunday School Congress.

Weir City, Kansas Editor of The Kansas City Advocate, Sir: Please allow me a few words in your much read journal to say a word or two about our Third Quarterly meeting just closed. We had a good meeting from every viewpoint. The writer spoke morning and evening. Rev. T. A. Wilson, from Pittsburg, Kans., preached in he afternoon. His discourse was both spiritual and logical. Our presiding elder, Rev. J. C. C. Owens, could not come, owing to being on the jury and having to preach the funeral of Rev. George Brown of Bonner Springs, Kans.

Wonderful and that's not all. --- 108-10 West Twelfth Street CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum on account of rendering a playlet, convened at Sumner High school. Four or five hundred crowded the auditorium to listen to Prof. J. P. King's physiology class render a play called "The Supreme Gift," which was written by themselves. Pardon us for not getting all the names; but Miss Agnes James and her consort were excellent as King and Queen. The young men as Soldier and Wealth, also did well. Douglass Thompson, as the farmer, did fine. Miss Guilford, as Fashion, with her votary, Powder Puff, were graceful actresses. Music was graceful, and did well as did her helpers, Miss H. Smith as Human voice and the young man, syncopation did well. Education gave many good points. Old John Barleycorn even tried to gain the crown from the King and Queen, as did also Tobacco. But when Miss Zatella Turner, as Health, assisted by Fresh Air, Correct Posture, by Miss B. Flower, and Pure Food, etc., their arguments were so strong and conclusive that the Queen crowned health as the greatest gift for mankind on earth. The players were all greatly applauded and deserve great credit for their original playlet. Prof. King deserves praise also for inspiring them. (It seems like the play should be called "The Supreme Gift on Earth,' as "Eternal Life"-is the real supreme gift. "Health" is just for a few days or a few years.) Next Sunday the Lawrence Forum will come down and give one of its fine programs. Don't miss it. It will have to be at the church, where about 1,500 can be seated. Come. A fine reception will be held at President Curry's afterward. All are invited. Bigger, better and best of all annual exhibitions of Lincoln High School, at Convention hall Friday, May 6th.
