KANSAS ALL EYES ON K. P. ENCAMPMENT AT TOPEKA, KANSAS Louisville, Ky. — We have been talking and writing about the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and by the time you read this letter things will be in shape for the meeting, and you may be there yourself full of smiles. Of course Topeka will take care of all of us, and then have room for the fellow who could not get here. The city will have its doors wide open, and the visitors will walk right in, commencing Sunday. Grand Chancellor Thompson will be on the spot Thursday or at least when you read this letter he will be in Topeka, as will Mrs. Norene Davis. These two are working side by side in this matter of getting ready, and they are going to let the world know how Kansas people do things. Dr. S. H. Thompson is one of the finest men in this country. He is a refined, polished Christian gentleman, and ever ready to regard the rights of others, and I want that this shall ever be. He is at the head of the Pythians in Kansas, and they all have confidence in his leadership. He is not a money grabber, but a real man, every inch of him. He has put the order on the map, and the whole country is taking notice. General Thomas Kennedy will be busy all day Sunday receiving the uniform rank, and they are going to be there as never before. They will be coming in by the thousands, and all will have their tents and with them ready for sleeping Sunday night. It will look like a soldier camp, and all army regulations will be carried out. I hope you are going to be there to see for yourself 101 I will never be able to tell you. Editor Kennedy will devote much of the space in his paper talking about this wonderful meeting in Kansas. People will be in Kansas who have never been there before and some of them will never return to the state. I told you about the big meeting last week, and I am not going to tell you about it any more. I told you about what a big time I was having there in Parsons, but I did not tell you that I went to Kansas City, for I had not been there when I mailed you a letter. I have been since. I got into Kansas City and found the Rev. John A. Gregg, of Wilberforce University, the president of that great school, waiting there to shake my lily black hands and to say to me that he was truly delighted to see me. That kind of thing is giving me the big head, and making me feel like I want to be a college president myself. I think I shall establish Swamp University, and be the president faculty and trustees myself and I will just peddle degrees to men who wish to buy them. There are so many thimble-headed men who want to have some high-sounding degree and they are asking me to give it to them until I think I shall just sell them out. I saw one fellow with the degree "B. P," and when I asked what it meant he told me black preacher, and he told the truth about it, for he was a shoe black, and his head was as empty as a big drum in the sand. But this has nothing to do with what I am saying, for I started out to tell you about Dr. Gregg. He has worked his way right up in his church. He went to Africa one time and rendered some service there, and then to this country. I recall when he was pastor of St. Joseph, and then he was president of Edward Waters college, and from there to the present big position and his next step will be Bishop Gregg. You may tell them that I told you of all this, and I know what I am talking about. We talked a while and then I called up Mrs. Davis, and was informed that she had an engagement, hence I did not get over to her home. She is just one of them busy women, and full of engagements. I went to Dr. P. W. DeLyles, and we were received by them with honors, and from there we beat it over to Mrs. Mabel Sinclair, and she was delighted to see me. I did not get to see her husband, but I saw his brother and he is some pumpkins in this country. The whole day was spent around Kansas City, and at night I found myself at Allen Chapel, there to be entertained as I never had been entertained before. I just sat ther with my eyes and mouth wide open looking at the wonders. It was the Invincible Concert company. If you have never seen the musical geniuses I would advise you to go out of your way to both see and hear them. The company is composed of three men and four women. Mackey and Johnson represent all. This will introduce you to them. Both of them are blind, and just how long they have been blind, I am not prepared to say, for Mackey says Johnson lost his sight looking for a wife and he lost his sight looking for work. They will make you forget that you are on earth in the line of music, and they don't worry you at all. I must tell you I was well paid for the evening. They can take anything and get music out of it. I just looked at them from start to finish. They now have an auto truck, and automobile car carriage, which they use to get around over the country to fill their engagements. They are busy, because of the wonderfulnes sof their concerts. After spending an evening with them, I made it back to Dr. DeLyles and slept until the next morning, getting up, made my way to the stable and rode to St. Louis, to be met there by the Poro automobile car carriage which toted me out in time for one of the biggest receptions I have ever attended. I think they must have served over a hundred gallons of ice cream, and I can't say how much cake, and all the cake was made right there in the Poro bakery. This is indeed a complete building and business. Mrs. Malone and her husband have built for generations to come. They have built wisely, and the unborn will yet come and sing their praises. Mrs. Malone is the woman who wants to see the right get right down to business and do the practical things, but this will be done by a few, but not by the masses, nor the masses of any race. It takes time to develop great men and women. She is one in a million and the same is true of her husband. He is a wonderful business man, and an educator. One of the best trained men in the race. I remained over night in St.Louis and the next morning beat it to Chicago, Ill., where I remained over night and my next step was Cincinnati, where in session was the National Grand Lodge of United Brothers of Friendship. I failed to tell you that the Poro reception was to the Shriners, who are some kind of Masons. Dr. J. R. Ransom was an active man in this National U. B. F. business, and you know if you find him there it is something worth while. I did not get to see many of the delegates, for I got in at night and left the next morning. I met some of the business and professional men of the country there. I then made it to Louisville, Ky., and where I am now. In Chicago, I learned that they are ready there for the National Baptist convention. Someone has asked me something about a faction or a fraction, and in reply to all of them there is but one National Baptist convention and it will meet September 7 in Chicago, Illinois, with the Olivet-Baptist church, and will be presided over by Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., and I expect to be there with him. Put this down for all it is worth and I will act accordingly. Shall have more to say in you about this in another letter. Get ready for it yourself. I shall have a few more things to say to you another time. Kansas City, Kansas, Fri $ ^{d} $ ay, August 12, 1921 FRATERNAL ORDER OF ANCIENT SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM OF THE WORLD AT LARGE Is a Secret Fraternal Charitable Beneficiary Order Chartered Under the Laws of Missouri and Kansas, With Headquarters at Kansas City It Was Founded and Instituted by James Richard Gordon, September 27, 1894 M. B. SAMUEL DIGGS Supreme Grand King, Kansas City, Kansas CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, FRATERNAL ORDER OF AND DAUGHTERS OF J THE WORLD AT Is a Secret Fraternal Chart Order Chartered Under the souri and Kansas, With at Kansas C It Was Founded and Institute Gordon, September The Fraternal Order of Ancient Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem is founded upon the life and times of Ancient Jerusalem, its people and history of devotion to God and the laws of Moses, and the final deliverance of the Children of Israel from bondage and servitude, being a similar anology to that of our SAMUEL DIG Supreme Grand King, Kansas own race in its years of bondage and servitude. The Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem seeks to fill a place in the galaxy of secret organizations that none of the others do. Its mission is to elaborate the lowly and unfortunate, to ennoble the Standard of Womanhood and to spread the gospel of cohesion and unity of Race interests and fellowship. Its Ritualistic ceremonies, teaches the principles of loyalty, to our race, fidelity to God and charity to the poor and needy. The Fraternal Feature The Fraternal Order of Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem is based upon the unquestionable Biblical-axiom of: The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It recognizes the fundamental laws of God, and Nature that all flesh and blood men and women, nations and people, are His creation, and entitled to an opportunity and chance in this world, to develop and grow into higher standards of good and useful men and women, and in their struggle to gain those heights should have our care and protection. This Order is the first to recognize and appreciate the women's place in the great scheme of character building and work in elevating the Race, exemplifying all that is grand and noble in her life and creation. In this Order Woman is given an opportunity to display her talent and ability as leader and example in the plan of elevating and redeeming her people. Th idea of helpfulness and fraternalism permeates every feature of our Order. Men and Women alike are on equal footings and the dualism of the sexes is one of its strong points in favor of your consideration of its merits. Its Protective Benefits This Order promises no more than it can and will do. Unlike many other societies there is never any technical points or excuses raised in case of death or misfortune. It pays all claims claims without quibbling or parley. It promises sick benefits L DIGGS Kansas City, Kansas and pays them. To insure the payment of sick benefits a department for that purpose is operated from the Supreme Office, the same as the endowment fund. All sick benefits are paid until member is convalescent. The endowment plan is on a safe and sound footing, and the past record of this department for prompt and certain payment of claims is unbroken. Not one claim has been contested or-refused. The assessments in these two departments are reasonable and easy paid. The Order also maintains a substantial burial fund, which is due and paid on the burial expenses of its members. Every intelligent man and woman should look forward expectantly to the hour and time of death and have made preparations for a respectable interment, and their sad taking off be commemorated by loving friends and bereaved comrades and companions. In life prepare for death. Its Educational Value. The complete education of the human race consists of more than literary accomplishments or mastery of the sciences and arts. These develop the mind and intellect. But the best education to possess is that which inspires the heart and soul and excites the sympathy of love and compassion for one another through the journey of life. This Order by its teachings and practices seeks to train its members along the educational lines of unity, charity, benevolence, temperance, mercy, justice, self-mastery, and the principles of concentration and union that tend to make men and women better husbands, wives, sons, daughters, friends and associates. Will you be one of us in this worthy cause? (Concluded on Page Four) TOM THUMB WEDDING AND HOOP DRILL at the EIGHTH STREET CHRISTIAN CHURCH Eighth Street and Everett Avenue, K. C., K.

Number 1 OCEAN VOYAGE IS ENTRANCING TO NEW TRAVELER Saturday, June 25. Dear All-of-you: After a week on the ocean we are due to sight land this afternoon, although we will not disembark until Wednesday. Some of the passengers land at Southampton Monday, but we go on to Antwerp. And I wanted to write to you before my trip proper begins because I dare say we'll be so busy going both day and night there'll be little time left for letter writing. We left St. Louis two days before we had planned over an entirely different route. Due to recent immigration rulings the Italian ship on which we had booked passage from New York to Naples for June 22 was taken off along with many others and we found to our dismay we could sail only June 17 from Montreal or not until July. You will understand this when I tell you there are over three hundred thousand American tourists sailing to Europe this summer. Well, back to ourselves: We found this out the 12th, got permission from the superintendent to leave before the close of school, and the evening of June 15 ha da glorious sendoff from our friends and left for Detroit. We reached there the next morning, and saw quite a lot of the city, had lunch with Lloyd Bailey, who looks very well, and left via the Canadian Pacific for Montreal. The customs officials inspected after we left Detroit, but it was a mere form. The Canadian scenery was beautiful. We whizzed past treeless plains dotted with millions of daisies and little yellow flowers. These were followed by dense forests of squatty trees, branching from the very ground and looking not unlike bunchy Dutch women. The towns here were replicas of Spotless Town (remember the advertisement?) in that the white roads, white houses with red roofs, well kept lawns and good gardens all bespoke an air of Canadian thrift and industry. The air had a delightfully invigorating tang that gave one an appetite the vile Canadian dining service did not appease. We reached Montreal at 8 and were driven directly to the boat, which sailed promptly on time, amid the blowing of whistles, the cheers and huzzas of the crowd, and all the other din and confusion which I suppose is incident to the departure of a boat on an ocean voyage. We sailed down the St. Lawrence for two days through perfectly wonderful scenery. Forests whose trees grew right down to the brink of the river, then verdant plains stretching as far a sthe eye could reach, fields alternating with uncultivated lands and presenting the appearance of a vast checkerboard, and then the mountains. It would take a poet to do them justice. The towns were made up of clean little houses, built invariably around the church, whose tall spire seemed to beckon one to worship. And the little towns nestled, yes, fairly cuddled, among the hills. The third day, Sunday, we reached the Gulf and the next day the ocean. That also marked the beginning of my seasickness, which, although of brief duration, was extremely severe. It's funny now that it's over to think how you longed for death, (Concluded on Third Page) MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church. (Quindaro, Kansas. Rev. M. C. Knight, Minister) Sunday was dedication and mortgage burning day at our church. A day long to be remembered. Rev. N. B. Robinson, Kansas City, Kans., preached the opening sermon at 11 A. M., to a very appreciative audience His subject, "Christ cannot be hidden," was indeed timely and was masterly rendered. At 3:30 o'clock the dedication service began. The Rev. J. F. Griffin, D.D., led in the dedicatory scripture, assisted by Rebs. E. R. Vaugh,n. P. W. Deyls, D.D., E. J. Landor and our pastor, the trustees, stewards, class leaders, stewardesses and deaconness board marched down the aisle behind the minister. After the reading the choir sang, "I Was Glad When They Said to Me," Rev. Griffin offered the consecration prayer. Consecration hymn lined by Dr. E. R. Vaugh, after which our pastor presented the Rev. P. W. Delyle, D.D., presiding elder of the Southwest Missouri conference, Kansas City, Mo., who preached the dedicatory sermon. He took for a subject, "The Church the Gateway to Heaven." His text, "This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate to Heaven." Dr. Delyle handled his discourse to the delight of all present, practical, philosophical, logical, with boldness of thought and sublime diction, he swayed his audience at will. His message will ever live in the hearts of his hearers. This service closes with high spiritual fervor. Other visitnig ministers: Revs. J. St. Felix Isaacs, Frank A. Harris, Kansas City, Mo.; and Rev. J. H. Robinson, First Baptist church, Quindaro. At 8 P. M., the choir gave a sacred concert, after which the mortgages were burned by our pastor, assisted by Rev. Dins more and W. W. Jackson, while the choir sang, "Lead, Kindly Light." Thus closed one of the most historical events in the history of our church.

Prioleau, retired chaplain of the United States army, with the rank of Major, filled the pulpit. The sermon was one of wonderful power and was the means of several joining the church and some confessing a hope in Christ. The major is the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Stafford, who were very prominent here, now living in Los Angeles. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, delivered a strong sermon at the evening service to an appreciative audience. The Sabbath school had a large attendance and an interesting lesson. Annual conference of the new Nebraska conference will be held in Lincoln, Neb., opening September 14.

The Kansas City Advocate for August 12, 1921 METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES These wide awake Christian people, led by their deacons, have not yet selected a regular pastor, but have had their pulpit well supplied with good preachers from distant cities. Last Sunday Dr. Griffith, of Des Moines, Iowa, preached from Heb. 13:8, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today and forever." It was a very fine sermon and enjoyed spiritually by the large congregation. At the night service, another large congregation listened to his sermon on "An unchanged man in a changing world." The crowds are larger since May 29th. The collections are also getting larger. Dr. Griffith said: "He had traveled all over the country and had seen larger churches, but none as beautiful and convenient as Metropolitan Temple." He praised the choir, which sang one of its many pretty songs, "Be a Hero." Deacons Jackson, Johnson, Thomas, Ford, Jennings, Taylor and Hulsey were on duty at night. Rev. Battles acted as host. After collections were taken for the vistiing minister and $20 was taken up for Mrs. Nora Trent, whose husband has been sick so long. This church is one of the most charitable churches, towards its members, especially, in the Middle West. Mr. J. C. Branche made a good report of the Kaw Valley Association, which he attended as a delegate, in Topeka. Next Sunday, August 14, Dr. Harrison, of Denison, Texas, will preach at 11 A. M. and 8 P. M. Come and hear this great "Southern Light." The doors of this fame-us church are open to all. HONOR TO SUMNER Graduate of This Year's Class of Sumner Offered Scholarship. Edward S. Lewis, graduate of Sumner High school, class of 21, received word Monday that the University of Chicago had offered him a scholarship for one year at that institution. The university each year gives forty scholarships to as many graduates over the country who have made high records in the high school. These scholarships are given to schools that are affiliated with the university. Sumner High school has this distinction. This is the fourth time the University of Chicago has thus honored Sumner High school during the administration of J. A. Hodge. All of the offers made in the past have not been accepted because of the great expense of attending school at Chicago, aside from the tuition which the scholarship covers. For this reason, when Mr. Hodge received word of the selection of Lewis as one of the forty he expressed regret that there was not some way for such worthy students to secure financial aid in order that they might take advantage of the fine opportunity they have earned by hard study. The citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, should encourage young people who strive thus to lift themselves. They honor themselves, the school, the town, and the race. Young Lewis was editor of the Sumner Courier last year and one of the star basket ball players. He also had the reputation of being a perfect gentleman, in fact, Sumner's ideal student, and withal modest. Hurrah for Ed! Mrs. Grace Edwards, 406 Waverly avenue, entertained Tuesday from 11 to 1 in honor of Mrs. Eliza Alexander, of Topeka.

And what makes it more laughable, everyone else around you is doing it too, all over the deck or wherever else he or she may be. The best part of it all is that you recover feeling better than ever. By Wednesday I was feeling fine and have enjoyed every minute of the trip. This is a small ship (only 1587 persons), but the accommodations are excellent and the service is even more so. I enjoy the latter particularly. Having worked all my life, giving service to others, you may understand how much pleasure I am getting out of having a bell at the head of my bed which I press to inquire the time, ask for a drink, etc., or what it means to me to have the same maid make my bed, straighten up the room, etc. Then to walk to the dining room (salon, if you please), and have all meals (more of them, farther on) served in courses by a most polite waiter, who is, by the way, a Belgian. On deck one's chair is moved almost magically wherever one wishes it by the deck steward. And so it goes, and even though one has paid well for all these accommodations, still they are extremely gratifying to me who have never been accustomed to them. We eat five times a day and the surprising thing is, one is always ready for food. Breakfast is served at 9, hot beef tea and wafers at 11, lunch at 1. tea, cakes and wafers at 4 and dinner, the event of the day, at 7. They are all heavy affairs in fact the English eat much more than we, two or three meats and two desserts at the same meal. We have nice seats at a table with pleasant people. We are the only colored on board (not even servants), but are taken in a matter of fact wav and treated very well. Now I cannot begin to tell you what the ocean means to me. It is ever-changing—one aspect today, an entirely different one tomorrow, and often the change is a matter of minutes or hours instead of days. Sometimes it is a wonderfully placid deep blue mirror stretching out to meet the perfect blue of the sky. A fleecy white cloud passes swiftly by as if it knows it has no place in the heavens and is going to where the skies are less perfect. Again the sea is cold, gray, sullen looking, and it moves restlessly and yet sulggishly out to blend with the sombre overhanging clouds in the distance. At other times it is a snaky, treacherous green and at still other times it is a mass of light blue turbulant waves, each one crowned with a white cap of foam. But always, always, it is mysterious, wonderful and alluring, and one never tires of it. Just this little of my trip has meant much, oh, so much, to me. One cannot view the marvelous sunrises, the gorgeous sunsets, and the glory of the moonlight on the waters without thinking deeply of serious things. Of course I think of Woody so often and I believe, yes, am sure, this voyage or at least this trip will bring me the content, the peace and the resignation which have been so long denied me. The grandeur, the colossal magnitude of everything creeps over one and helps one to understand wherein primitive days there were sun worshippers, Druids and the like. Well, a power that could conceive all this could be nothing other than all wise and good.. And in this knowledge, I hope to find consolation for losing Woody. The pain isn't nearly gone—yet this forerunner of diminuation means much to me. But enough on this strain. For diversion we walk countless miles around the deck; there have been concerts, athletic contests, a lecture, two icebergs twelve miles away which were plainly discernable to the naked eye, three whales (at different times, which disported much on the water), and millions of sea gulls. Then, too, one can always recline in one steamer chair and think and sleep, and sleep. There's never a lonely moment —on the contrary, each is filled to overflowing with sixty minutes of exquisite scenery and countless opportunities for meditation and introspection. I love it all and already have had more than the cost of the trip in satisfaction. We spend two days at. Antwerp, two at Brussels, then to Paris for two weeks. Then Southern France and Monte Carlo. We go by boat across the Mediterranean to Naples. thence to Rome, Pompeii, Venice, Milan, Genoa, Lucerne, Switzerland, Berlin, Coblenz, Weisbaden, Bingen, Strasbourg, Coblentz, Paris, again; London, Liverpool, New York, St. Louis. Our stays in London and Paris include outlying side trips to Scotland, Stratford, etc., and (from Paris) to the battlefields Now I must stop. I am sure I've written a book. My best wish for each of you is that the gods may so juggle your affairs that some day they will empty forth from their cornucopias of prosperity and good fortune, an ocean voyage for each of you with all pour loved ones, and not alone, as I.

SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM (Continued from First Page) Strictly a Race Society The Fraternal Order of Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem was conceived and founded with the idea of promoting the unity, peace, advancement, high ideals and aspirations and temperance among the sons and daughters of the race. Do you as a member of the race coincide with us in this work? Its objects are to improve the heart, exalt the mind, promote virtue and morality, to arouse and quicken acts of charity, fidelity and co-operation. Its teachings in secret work are race pride, moderation, forbearance, love of country and duty to God. Its mission is to elevate every man to the highest type of manhood and clothe every woman with that virtue and modesty which will make her an angel on earth. Our Order is the friend of the lowly, the widow's succor and the orphan's protector. Believing this Order, more than any other, will unify the Race and elevate its members to the highest moral, religious and intellectual standard, we appeal to all lovers of the race to join and help do the work for which this society came into being. While it is a required necessity in all societies that funds be forthcoming from its membership in order to meet demands and financial obligations, we claim for the F. O. of A. S. & D. of J. the best, cheapest and most economical financial system in operation It does not maintain any high salaried officers to draw constantly upon its resources. It is a "live and let live" society, instituted solely for the benefit of its members. The Order is composed of the following departments: The Supreme Grand Council, the law making body and is composed of all Present and Past Presiding Officers, Supreme Grand Deputies, Supreme Grand Organizes. The Supreme Grand Royal Palace consists of all Present and Past Presiding Most Noble Kings and Excellent Queens and Officers of Councils and Levite Guards. The Councils are composed of members, Sons and Daughters, presided over by Most Excellent Queen and Most Noble King. Royal Palace. This is a high department where the various Presiding Officers and Past Officers meet for council and instructions. Gordon Levite Guards and Asylums. This is the children's department. It is presided over by Queen Mother and Father Guardian. The Supreme Gordon Levite Guards is composed of Officers and members from the Local Asylums and is presided over by Supreme Grand Queen Mother, Supreme Grand Father Guardian. Semi-Military Department. Militarism is an important factor in our Order and should not be neglected. This department is under the Knight Commander Col. T. B. J. Robinson, has the famous St. Elmo Drill team who has now reached a high standard of efficiency. They are a well named military company and deserves much praise. The father and founder, James R. Gordon, called the first Supreme Grand Council to order. Sept. 27. 1894. His Excellency M. N. James R. Gordon, S. G. K.; Her Majesty M. E. Lula Hamilton, S. G. K.; Father and founder James Richard Gordon, after having served faithfully fo 18 years as S. G. K., left us Sept. 12, 1912, for the bright realms beyond the shining river. The high and noble characteristics and acts of the beloved and distinguished Father and founder, whose final record has been written within. His virtues are on perpetual record in a grander book than mortal hand has written. Sept., 1912, M. N. Harry R. Graham, Secretary of Financial Department, was installed as M. N. Supreme Grand King to fill the unexpired term of the deceased Father and founder, James R. Gordon. August, 1913, the Eighteenth Session elected M. N. Harry R. Graham S.G.K. M. E. Rosie Cavens, S. G. Q. M. N. Harry R. Graham was re-elected each succeeding year including 1919, Sallie Todd, S. G. Q. Jan. 16, 1920, the sudden news flashed over the wires from the S. G. S. office that Harry Richard Graham, M. N. Supreme Grand King had been stricken very suddenly with paralysis, and Wednesday morning, Jan. 21, 1921, he crossed the Great Divide into eternal happiness. His illness was of short duration and when found in the printing plant he was lying prostrate on the floor, having fallen from a chair. His funeral was held Sunday, Jan. 25. The last sad rites were conducted by the S. G. Council—turned out en masse to pay the last tribute of respect to our dead hero. His was a busy life. Most of it was given to the cause of education. He was a man of unyielding purpose. He knew human nature well and knew the present needs of the order. His knowledge of the laws and especially of the order, its application and administration, enabled him to draft for the Order of the best. He was a man of clear, broad views and was strong in the defense of the right. Few realize the magnitude of the work he accomplished or the difficulties he overcame in his efforts to give the Order laws that would aid and not retard the progress, the laws will stand as his most permanent and honorable monument. How beautiful is his life. Lovely is his death. Peace to his ashes. Rest to his soul. How beautiful it is for man to die Upon the walls of Zion to be called. Like a watchworn and wearly sentinel To put his armor off and rest in Heaven. M. N. Samuel Diggs, S. G. V. King, was elected and installed as M N. Supreme Grand King to fill out the unexpired term of the late Harry R. Graham at special session of S. G. Council in Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 27, 1920, at the Supreme Grand Session held in Kansas City, Mo., August. 1920, M. N. Samuel Diggs, S. G. King, re-elected. Irene Gordon S. G. Q. Often the Order was bitterly assailed and for some years in some localities it was subject to obliquity and reproach. Some councils abandoned their work, their halls were deserttd, their lights went out. But only for a brief period of time. With the election of M. N. Samuel Diggs as M. N. S. G. King, a man of clean morals and high ideals of progressive views and the courage of his convictions. From a period of temporary depression this order has developed rapidly since M. N. Samuel Diggs has been the S. G. King. In the past 10 months the Order has taken in more money and paid out more than $3,00 more than in any other time in the history of this Order. The endowment claims are being paid promptly and old claims that have been outlawed are being wiped out. The order is increasing in membership. This institution today is honored and respected by those who are strangers to its mysteries and is cherished and beloved by the whole fraternity. He puts his disapproval upon large parades with bands and music and autos and puts his stamp of approval upon economy along all lines and encourages hall building and owning real estate. M. N. Samuel Diggs is not only interested in the orders he belong to Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Busy Bees, U. B. F. and others and he holds an exalted office in all, from Grand Treasurer down to Presiding Officer. He is also one of the leading Negro business men in Kansas. He is also an earnest and devoted Christian, a learned scholar, an experienced legislator, an honest and scrupulous public servant. A life of service has been given and is being given to God and Humanity. Among the tenets of the Order of Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem there are those which are so gracious in their purpose, and so beautiful in their character that they are described as the ornaments of our council—Unity, Charity, Benevolence—to speak the truth and to relieve distress are duties our system of morality and benevolence constantly impresses upon us, while the sweet spirit of brotherly love is commended for peace and joy it gives wherever its benign influence may extend. It is the spirit that unites the members of the fraternity and brings them together as one great family for the supreme object of mutual assistance and the benefits of mankind. Mrs. Ida M. Thomas attended Prince Hall Grand Chapter at Salina this sweek as a delegate from Electa Chapter. Mrs. P. C. Long was elected a delegate but did not attend. Prof. Milton Collins and Mrs. Mattie Nor is this influence circumscribed or limited to the membership of the Order. Broad as the Earth are its beneficent designs. Upon its banner is inscribed, not alone the Brotherhood of Sons and Daughters of Jerusaem, but the broad and comprehensive words: The Brotherhood of Man. Believing that we are all the children of the Great Architect of the Universe, we recognize all men as brothers. Youth is represented in its teachings as 'the period in which to acquire useful knowledge, develop and enrich the understanding, and lay the foundation of a pure and honorable life. Manhood is described as the season of activity and usefulness. When in the maturity of his strength and vigor, he shall fully and faithfully perform his part in the service of God and his fellow man. While age is said to be a period of rest when the life work is ended, he may enjoy the fruits of his labor and possess the happy consciousness of having been true and faithful to every oblation. To aid man still further in his efforts to reach a higher moral state, the Sons an Daughters of Jerusalem offers him the surest guides and enjoins upon him obedience to the noblest principles. It points to the three cardinal cirtues, Unity, Benevolence Charity and impresses upon him their importance. The Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem sheds its light far beyond the council chamber. It penetrates and illumines the home of every member and brings happiness to every community where a council is established. Its pure and effulgent rays extend far and wide from a myriad altar fires that have been kindled, throughout the land and everywhere its light gives hope and cheer and comfort to all who come within its helpful and hallowed influence. Its mission is not ended. So long as man lives in need of protection and sympathy and a brothers' aid, or a fellow mortal can be lifted to a higher plane of mortality and righteous living, its appropriate and destined work will not be completed. Its past, secured in the treasured memorials of immortal deeds and undying honor, will live in history as one of man's best creatures, and its future for which the omens are bright and glorious, is full of promise and hope. Its mission cannot end until that time shall come when perfection has attained in human character; when misery and want have disappeared from earth.

ALONG THE LINE OF REASON Uncer Ike: Humph! Is you seed, hear-ed, or know-ed anything new? Doan ax me no foolishness lik dat: des sot down and lis-sen. The Sunflower Lodge of K. P.'s and Calanthes at Parsons last week was something to be remembered. Not so much as a gathering of great men and women, as it was of an assembly of those who accomplished something. We have not in many years, had an assembly of those of the race who had a clearer and well defined purpose along the line of current issues. Nor one wherein there was more dilligece in the treatment of those matters and things, which under the stress of the times, are of such vital importance to us. The slogan of "To the Live Issues of the Day," and particularly those of interracial and economic value. While all effort at personal display were quickly frowned down and out of the meeting, and all energy directed towards devising ways and means to get the best to be had from our environments. The lesson taught was, "Talk less and say more" and try hard to say right, when saying. The proceedings were ably conducted by our well beloved Grand Chancellor, Dr. S. H. Thompson, of whom they said, "There is no use of re-electing him—just let him stay until we get ready for him to quit," and who, by his just, equitable and well-timed rulings, showed himself well worthy of the honors heaped upon him from all sides and angles. We were blessed in a most exceptional degree in having the wise counsel and super-efficient services of the only, and redoubtable Charles Stewart, who is truly master of his cult. He is much like sunlight to material creation—the right thing at the right time and the right place; smoothly, imperceptibly, yet marvelously effective in setting,—and helping us to drive the peg, which marked the high line to which was lifted the civic, economic and social status of the races. Truly, the occasion was a "Casting of bread upon the waters." UNCER IKE. A FRATERNAL DRIVE IN KANSAS CITY, KANS. IS ON WANTED—500 new members for the Busy Bees, or I. O. B. & L. of C.
