MIDNIGHT COMPLIMENT
OF THE KNIGHTS OF
ENCAM
Meets the Most Wonderful
Dr. J. H. Hale, W
National Media
Louisville, Kentucky. — I was so full of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias that I could not write to you last week, but I must say something to you this week, and when I am through you will know almost as much as I do if not a little more.
Of course you have been reading and reading all about that Supreme Lodge, and there was something to read about. The daily papers have told you all about it as well as the weekly papers and the monthly papers will have their way. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the people of Kansas on their good work and to say that they were able to do all that I told you they would do and then here and there some other steps which were not in my vocabulary. I am sure you are not going to hold me responsible for this, and I would not expect you to do so.
When I reached the town, I called up Dr. G. R. Bridgeforth in company withDr. S. H. Thompson, and he said that he would send in for me and have me be his guest during the session of the Supreme Lodge, and believe me, honey, he did do that thing, and I was royally entertained with but one embarrassment, which Prof. Bridgeforth removed from me after I had gotten into it.
I am going to tell you all about him and his work, in another letter, when I go there to conference, and you will pardon me if I do not tell you now. Permit me to tell you that Dr. S. H. Thompson is one of the greatest men in this country, and our people should all feel proud of him. I wonder if the good people of Kansas realize what they have in him, and then for greatness and leadership among the women, I would mention Mrs. Norene Davis, of Kansas City, Kansas, the Grand Worthy Counsellor of her state, and who lives in the hearts of the people. The thing I like about Dr. Thompson is that you can't make him lose his head, but he is as cool as a cucumber and as serene as a judge, and I wish you could have seen him studying the Supreme Lodge and officers from various angles.
Dr. Thompson, because of his deepness, must have some relation to the ocean, and then he is devoting his whole life to his people. When it comes to medicine, he is second to none in this country and I am saying nothing about race or color. The people all left praising Kansas. I wish you could have seen that parade. It was the greatest ever witnessed in Kansas, and all the people had to give it to them, and General Jackson, and believe me, honey, General Thomas Kennedy played his part well, and he carried home with him the bacon, so to speak. He was royal to those in camp, and the night of the rain, he was galant, and worked all night in the flooded part of the camp trying to assist both men and women out. He stood to his post, and worked like a private instead of a general. He did not stand off and give command, but he led in doing things.
I should like to write and talk about every membe of the committee on Kansas, but will not

have the space to do this. It was a great meeting and there were some great things done, and something done that we will just have to wait and see. All the officers were re-elected. No opposition, but then if this is to continue we will have to await time. There were many little things said, and some things seemed to be creeping out. There are some other plans being set for two years hence. When the Supreme Lodge opened, or during the opening, they took up the password, which was necessary to know in order to stay in, and I just hid myself under the chair of the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, and remained there until it was all over.
There were some there without the garment, so to speak. In this number we found Grand Chancelor Lloyd, of Missouri, and all of his people from Missouri. There was some misunderstanding about a tax which it was alleged that Missouri had failed to pay and the word was withheld from the jurisdiction. they were asked to retire, and while they did not go right out, for they protested, but when informed by Supreme Chancellor Green if they did not go out he would send for an officer, then it was that they were escorted out, one by one.
Grand Chancellor Lloyd went down town, and sought a judge in the city, but that judge himself was not financial, and did not know the password, but believe me, honey, that man just issued a paper which took the place of the password, or it was the password one, for it was "injunction," and upon that word the Missouri delegates were seated and things moved right along. If you want to visit remember the password is "Injunction."
The Grand Court of Missouri is a wonderful organization, and all of the officers are in keeping with the wonderful name they bear and all are true to their leader. I found the Grand Register of Deeds a woman with great ability and worth, and the other officers came right along in line, and Mrs. Bettie Lee, the supreme representative, was on hand at all times—in fact she escorted me to the place where I got off.
Perhaps your attention has been called to the fact that the charter of Virgnia ws revoked, and they are no longer a member of the Supreme Lodge, and I am told that some day John Mitchell, Jr., will come up with a Supreme Lodge of his own. He is a wonderful character, and while he may be wrong, yet we must all admire his fighting ability, and he says he will not down.
Hon. Charles Cottrell was there in all of his glory, and Past Vice Supreme Chancellor Joseph L. Jones was on hand. He did not have much to say, and he was a puzzle, and many are yet trying to solve him. Let me tell you all when you run up against S. W. Green you must know your business and know it well. He is leading the jurisdiction on to success, and there will be some big things doing before the next meeting. Put it down, and you will see something great. We will rise up

SPENT DAY AT LEAVEN-
WORTH
Editor Thos. Kennedy, wife, and Mrs. Mayle, the editor's sister, and her daughter, Chloris, of Ohio, who visited here the month of August, spent last Saturday, the 27th, in Leavenworth, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Carroll, 509 Dakota street. After an elaborate chicken dinner, a seven-passenger auto was brought into service, when a sightseeing trip over the city and to Fort Leavenworth and the Federal prison. At the fort the guests were shown through the colored barracks by Sergeants Portee and Edwards. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll are splendid entainers and their guests left at 6:20 with many words of praise for their hospitality and cheerful associatin.
WOMEN'S DAY
At the Mission Circles' Women's day at Metropolitan Temples some of the large crowd were: Many members from Mt. Zion church and they alone gave over $18 in the collection; also Mrs. Fitchue from Eighth Street Baptist, a delegate from Topeka and one from Lawrence, Mesdames Baker, L. A. Wilson, Hunter and Messler; Mrs.Kemp; some from Kansas City, Mo., and one from Nebraska. It was almost like a convention.
Rev. S. L. Johnson, presiding deacon; Deacons Thomas and Hulsey; also Mr. J. C. Branche, clerk, and Deacon Taylor and others were much pleased with the women's program, especially the original poem.
Mrs. J. M. Stovall invited friends to see her night blooming cereus, which bloomed Monaay night at her home near Twelfth street and Armstrong avenue.

and call him blessed because of the service he has rendered.
I have not mentioned yet the Supreme Worthy Counsellor, Ernest G. Tidrington, of Evansville, Ind. He has made his place to such extent that there are none who will be able to pluck him out.
Mrs. Norene Davis made a great hit when she demonstrated the works, and she made her place in the hearts of the people. It will not be long before her ability and worth will invite her to a higher station.
Well, the Supreme Lodge is over, and I beat it back to Kansas City, where I spent Saturday night and preached Sunday morning at Allen Chapel. You know about this church. It is one of the leading churches, and a friend of mine told me he would remain over to hear me if I would preach a certain sermon and I tried my hand at it. Dr. Isaacs is getting ready for his conference. He is closing out a good year.
From Kansas City, I went to Chicago, remaining there only a few hours, and then off to Louisville, via Inianapolis. I have been well paid for my visit here, for I have been with the doctors. The National Medical Association met here, and upon reaching the place of meeting the first thing that happened was I met Dr. C. P. McClendon, of New York, and he is one of the leading physicians in this country. I exchanged a few words with him, and was soon on my way to the inside. I was delighted with the visit and all I saw there.
I put on one of the badges and looked like a doctor myself, hence people were addressing Dr. Midnight, and I accepted with a smile or grin. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Robert Shaw Wilkinson, president of the state, college, Orangeburg, S. C., who is one of the leading
RUBE FOSTER GIANTS HERE
The great Rube Foster and his American Giants will invade Kansas City Saturday for the first time this season. Commencing Saturday a 6-game series will be played against our crippled Monarches, but at that they will hold Mr. Foster's home pets' feet to the fire. These games will about decide the pennant winners for 1921. The Monarchs boken even in a double header with Rube's team Sunday in Chicago, Bullet Rogan shutting them out in the second game.
Record-breaking crowds will no doubt attend all of these games.
WIENIE ROAST IN HONOR OF MISS MAYLE OF OHIO
Prof. La Motte Jenkins and his sister, Harriet, at Western University, gave in honor of Miss Chloris Mayle, of Zanesville, Ohio, a weinie roast Friday morning, the 26th, on the banks of the Missouri river below Quindaro. There were fifteen in the party who took the early morning walk, some coming from Kansas City, Mo. The party enjoyed their repast of roast weinies and black coffee, after an early morning rise and a healthy stroll over the hills of Quindaro.
Mrs. L. Ro$e and Mrs. Mary Stewart, of Omaha, attended the grand session of the S. M. T.'s and took lunch with Mrs. Lulu Thompson on Nebraska avenue.

educators in this country. He was among the doctors also. Well, I have just a few things to say to you about the doctor business, and will sit down and go back.
I have been talking to you about that wonder surgeon of our race, Dr. J. H. Hale, of Nashville, who is surgeon-in-chief of the Millie Hale hospital, and who is one of the greatest cuttingest men in all this country, and he has just made his place in the world by the manner in which he can just take you all to pieces and put you together again and you can continue to live. I told you about the man with his stomach cut out, his lungs and ribs slashed, and a cut about his neck, being carried to Dr. Hale by the police in Nashville, and how this man, with the skill of what he is a genius, put the stomach back in its place, fixed the lungs, took out eight inches of intestines, and the man is now walking around the streets in Nashville, but I don't believe is looking for another game.
In order to help to save human life, and better prepare some of the operators who were here, Dr. Hale operated at the Red Cross hospital, doing two operations. Mrs. Hale was there, and she put the patients to sleep, and they woke up again and will soon be back home. I like to take off my hat to such a man. Now the meeting is over, the doctors are returning home, and I shall get myself together and when you read this letter I will be at 5922 Aberdeen street, Chicago, Ill., and will remain there all of next week attending the great National Baptist convention. My people are going to be there in large numbers. It will be the largest convention in history. Come over to see me, or write me a letter J. O. MIDNIGHT.

Western University, the colored Harvard of the West, will throw its doors of opportunity open next Monday, September 5th for the development of the young mind of our girls and boys. As we go to press, the president, Dr. F. Jesse Peck, informs us that a goodly number of both old and new students are in and ready to enter upon the year's work, and by Tuesday morning the registrar will have enrolled the largest number at the opening of the school's history. Students are reporting from most every state west of the Mississippi and from the far south. The standard of this school has been placed on a higher credited list, which is bringing a much higher grade student.
ALONG THE LINE OF REASON
Hello, Uncle Ike,—is you binn some whers, or sum-fin?"
N-o, nothin much.
"Well did-en you sgen sumfin an ain't you got nuffin to tell?"
"No—I that I saw sumfin—but twasn't noth-in."
And what I wants to do now, is to ax er-bout sumfin.
The Fall is upon us, and I think it would be well for us to begin early, with the work of the League.
And that a meeting should be called as soon as posible, and before the regular monthly meeting; in order to pick up the many odds nd threads which should be looked after.
Then let us have a meeting, and let every one come with a clear and well defined idea and notion of the work to be done, and prepared to co-operate with others; in getting things done.
It is not necessary to enumerate the things which need attention, just come prepared to treat any subject which pertains to our well-being and bring a stock of patience, forbearance, reason and good judgment; sufficient to last at least one year. And be prepared to become tired and weary, because we do not get everything done in one night.
Let us enlist, "During Necessity."

There will be seen a number of new faces in the teaching body, of whom come highly recommended, as to ability and strength of character.
The buildings have been thoroughly renovated and decorated throughout, both interior and exterior, making every room sweet and clean.
The new stone structure on the campus of Ward hall, is under way of completion and when finished will accommodate seventy or more young men. It will add much to the beauty of the surroundings as well as filling a long needed want.
The church is putting up this building at a cost of $45,000 or $50,000. Rev. J. F. Griffin of First Church, has had the supervision of this new structure
BUCKEYES RETURN HOME HIGHLY ENTERTAINED WHILE HERE
Mrs. Lizzie Mayle and her daughter, Choris, after a pleasant four weeks' visit with Mrs. Mayle's brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Kennedy, 834 Nebraska avenue, returned to their home, Zanesville, Ohio, Monday morning. Their visit was one of much pleasure while here and especially with her brother and wife who had not seen each other for seven years.
They were beautifully entertained while here in many homes and outings. They enjoyed a week in camp at Topeka with her brother and wife, at the Supreme Encampment. In the city they were entertained at the efollowing homes: Mrs. R. A. Adams, 634 Franklin avenue; Mrs. A. J. Bouldin, 611 Parallel avenue; Mrs S. J. Curry, matron at Western Universit; Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Griffin, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Slaughter and an outing at Swope Park, taking dinner at the Y. M C. A. They also were taken on sightseeing trips in the two Kansas Cities and a trip to Leavenworth.
Miss Mayle was highly entertained by the young people to a number of social functions and joy rides. All of these were greatly appreciated by them. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy wishes also to extend their appreciation to those who made it so pleasant for our sister and niece during their stay with us. First Baptist and Pleasant Green churches are holding a carnival this week.

MAKES GOOD
« Mr. La Mott Jenkins, who has
“been instructor of the Depart-
ment of Carpentry at Western
University for the past two
years, has accepted a similar
position in the schools of Kan-
Sas City, Mo., with a nice in-
crease of salary.
Mr. Jenkins, while only a
young man, and this being his
first teaching, more than made
good. So much so, the board of
education of the Missouri
schools, elected him unanimous-
dy without even his knowledge,
until he received a communica-
tion from the secretary of the
board of his election. fficien-
cy and service with strong
moral character will always
win,
Mr. Jenkins is to be congrat-
‘ulated and his numerous
triends feel sure that a higher
distinction awaits this young
aman as an artist of his craft.

CHURCH NEWS
One of the largest assemblies
that has been seen in First
church for a long time was pres-
ent at the merning service Sua-
day, the gallery being filled.
The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin
filled his pulpit, delivering a
sermon that met the approval of
true living Christians. It was
not screened or was it delivered
between the lines. It touched
every phase of a real Christian
life. The people enjoyed it.
At the close of the service,
Mrs. Taylor sang a_ beautiful
and touching solo. Mr. Gate-
wood, our greatest tenor, also
sang a number that touched the
hearts of his hearers.
The choir rendered some
beautiful anthems under the di-
rection of Mr. Gatewood.
Sunday was Connectional and
Charity day, and at 3 P. M., the
pastor’s aid board had special
services. Rev. B. G. Dawson of
Bethel church, delivered the ser-
mon, which was a strong one,
and his audience was lifted up.
Dr. Dawson is a great preacher.
Sunday is the fourth and last
quarterly meeting of this con-
ference year, the presiding el-
der, Rev. A. C. Terrell will be
with us. Love feast Fiday

The appeal for food from the Russian Caucasus, Armenia and the Bible lands should have a special significance in Kansas. It is the farming classes who are starving in the Near East. Kansas is largely a state of farmers. And Kansas farmers should not let a single neighbor farmer starve. After all the Near East farmers are neighbors of Kansas farmers. They are no further away than were pioneers of Western Kansas, Nebraska

The challenge has come to Kansas Will she supply her quota of food for the starving women and children in the Near East or will she fail to do her share among the states of the union? That is the question in a nutshell. It is up to the people to say. And the story must be told within the next sixty days. Kansas has never failed yet to answer the cry of starving humanity She has always contributed generously to all famine funds But she is now fac-

TELLS GOOD JOKE ON HIMSELF
Author Admits Admirer Credited Him
With Work to Which He Certainly
Never Laid Claim.
Robert W. Chambers, the noted
novellist, told at the Country club in
New York a story at his own expense:
"I was staying in New Bedford," he said, "and one day on the wharves I met an old sailor who asked me to be allowed to shake hands with me.
"I've read all your books, sir,' said the bronzed old salt. 'Put it there.' And he shook my hand heartily. 'This is a great honor, sir.'
"But after the handshaking was over the salt went on to say that he thought I'd written a lot of stuff that was unworthy of my talent.
"Yes, sir,' he said. 'If you was to ask for my honest out-and-out opinion, I'd say that you've only written one work what really expresses your genius. Ah, it's a grand book, that. I can't just recall the name of it at the moment."
"**Was it 'The King in Yellow?'** said I. 'No? "The Fighting Chance," perhaps, Or—"
"Ah. I remember the name now, sir,' said the old salt. 'A grand work. A work of genius. Why don't you give us more of the same kind? "Uncle Tom's Cabin" — that's the one book you'll be remembered by, sir.'"
IT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD
The Man Who Has Won Success Need Never Be Afraid of Too Harsh Criticism.
When a man becomes a success nearly everything he does is picked up as a possible reason for his success, just as before he arrived most of his habits, or practices, were regarded as the reason why he got nowhere.
Not long ago I sat at a baseball game next to a man who is quietly making $50,000 a year, and making it in a successful little enterprise of his own device without any fuss or commotion.
"This time last year," he remarked, "I wouldn't have dred to take an afternoon off and go to a ball game, because at that time my business didn't amount to much. I wasn't known as a man who was making lots of money, so if business acquaintances saw me at the ball game they would say: 'No wonder he doesn't amount to anything. He takes too much time away from the office for pleasure.' "But now, do you know what they will say, 'There goes a smart fellow. He takes lots of recreation to keep himself in good fettle. That is why he is successful.'"—Fred C. Kelly, in Nation's Business.
An Ominous Possibility.
"Pretty bad fire you had here last night," commented the recently arrived guest.
"Eh-yah!" replied the landlord of the Petunia tavern. "The fire company had it pretty nearly put out, and then the mayor came and took personal charge of the conflagration, and yelled orders till he got the firemen so mixed up that they couldn't do anything. And I reckon if it hadn't begun to rain directly the whole dodmolested town would have been holocausted. But I s'pose it might have been worse——"
"How could it have been worse?"
"Why, the governor or a congressman might have come and took charge instead of the mayor, and it might not have rained."—Kansas City Star.
The professor was trying to demonstrate a simple experiment in the generation of steam.
"What have I in my hand?" he asked.
"Exactly. Now, can any little boy tell me how, with this tin can, it is possible to generate a surprising amount of speed and power almost belong control?"
One little boy raised his hand.
"You may answer, Carter."
"Tie it to a dog's tail."

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 11
PAUL IN ATHENS.
move, and have our belng.—Acts li:23.
Qe MATERIAL—Luke :16-
PRIMARY TOPIO~Paul Telling the
People about God,
JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul in Athens.
ee Peeen die AND SENIOR TOPIC
In a Famous Greek City.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
~Paul in a Center of Learning. Being
Driven from Berea, Paul Pied to Athens.
1. The Idotatry of the Athenians
{v. 16).
Athens was the intellectual metrop-
olis of the world at that time, the
home of the world’s great eloquence
and philosophy. Paul's spirit was
stirred within lim when he saw the
city wholly given to idolatry.
MN. The Parties Concerned (vv. 17
20.
True to hy usual custom Paul went
Into the Jewtsh synagogue and entered
{nto earnest argument with the Jews.
From them he turned to such as were
found In the market place, Here he
came Into touch with the Epicurean
and Stole philosophers. The former
were athelstic materialists. They de-
nied the doctrine of Creation, They
‘gave themselves up to sensual In-
dulzences since they had no Idea of
future . judgment. ‘The latter were
panthelsts. When they heard the
fpreaching of Paul they desired to
know what vew doctrine he preached,
60 they Invited him to the Areopagus
where he might ‘speak to them of his
new doctrine, They inquired as to
what this “babbler” might say. The
word “babbler” means Iterally “seed-
pleker.”
11, Paul's Address on Mare’ Hill
(vy. 23.31).
1, The Introduciion (vy. 22, 23). He
did not accuse them of “superstition”
as the A, V. would make It, but ag In
the Am, R. V. he Introduces his dis-
course In 4 courteous and conciliatory
manner, stuting that he percelved that
they were very religious, This he ex-
plained by stating that as he was view-
ing thelr city he beheld an altar with
an Inscription “To the Unknown God."
This was his point of contact. He
Procgeils at once to. counect It with
the {dea ‘of the living God, implying
that thi. allar had been erected to
Tiim. He was too wise to begin at
ovce to denounce heathenism ‘and
Idolatry. +
2. The body of his discourse (vv,
24-31).
(1) A declaration concerning God
(vv. 24, 25). (a) He created the
material universe (v, 24). This was a
direct blow at the philosophy of both
the Epleuresins and the Stoics. He did
‘not attempt to prove the existence of
God; it needs no proof. The Bible
everywhere assumes the existence of
a divine being. (h) His splrituality
and immensity (vv. 24, 25). He fs
not served with “men's hands as
though he needed anything,” neither
Is He confined hy any sort of religious
temple. Keing essentially spiritual
He demands heart-service. and being
transcendent above all He is not con.
fined to earthly temples, (¢) His ac-
tive providence (v. 25). He gives ex-
istence, bestows needed gifts, and as
sovereign dircets all things.
«2) Declaration concerning man (vv.
26.81). (a) His common origin (v. 26).
This was a bow at the foolish Athen
fan pride which supposed that they
were superior to all other people. This
Proposition he proved from their own
Uterature (sce vy. 28). If men are the
offspring of God and bear His like
ness ft fs utter folly to make Image:
as the sensclers Idols were. (b) Na
tlons have their place by the sov
ereign purpose of God (v, 26). Th
position and misston of each nation I
of God's appointment. (¢) Men shoul:
seek God (v. 26). His goodness anc
grace In supplying all our needs, anc
, ordering even the affairs of the na
tlons should move man to see and seel
God, for He Is Indeed very near t
every one; so near that our existenc
and movements are all under His con
tro) (v. 27). (d) Pressing obligatio
to repent (vv. 30, 31). ‘This was hl
‘supreme message. Though God ha
Yormerly passed over idolatry He not
calls to all men to repent. The solem
Teason for such action Is the comin
day-of judgment, the credential
which Is the resurrection of Jesu
Christ from. the dead. The judgmer
of God of an unbelleving world Is 3
sure as this fact. Men will be judge
on the basis of thelr attitude towar
Jesus Christ.
IV. Result of Paul's Preaching (v
32-34).
« L Some mocked (¥. 32),
2. Some procrastinated (v. 32).
1B. Some belleved (v. 34).
‘You should frequently arouse wit!
in yourself the desire to give to Gc
alt the faculties of your soul—that |
of wanr cnind. ta knoe Wim end thir

" The spirit of Christian unity must
be cultivated between the different
churches before formal union can be
PUNGENT PICKUPS
The only way to get along With some
people Is their own way.
Popular songs are often so popular
that they become unpopular.
Necessity knows no law, and It Is
useless to appeal from her decree.
The oftener a man fails the more he
is addicted to the advice-giving habit.
Why fs the woman seldom sincere
who tells another woman she's pretty?
Women are foolish {f they believe
the fool things men say when in love.
If a man acts contrary to his wife's
advice, and fails, he never hears the
jast of It.
‘All things come reund to the man
who leans up against a telegraph pole
and waits,
| What a relief It would be if must-
clans were born instead of being made
by practice.
Father Time was the original wheel-
man. From the beginning he has gone
‘on by cycles. '
The majority of men are unknown
to fame and fortune—and are likely

from an enthusiastle drussmer from
Chicago during the course of the mer-
chant's last battle with an ex-champion
from Missouri.
“With those cigars,” sald the donor,
“you can beat the world.”
“Well,” said the storekceper, quiet-
ly and significantly, “I have to play
Jones this afternoon.”
“Never mind, old man; with those
celgars you will play all right.”
Later In the day they met agaln,
and the storekeeper informed the
druniner that he had won a game
from Jones that afternoon.
“Fine! ‘Those cigars were a help?"
“I hardly think so," said the store-
keeper.
“Didn't you smoke them?”
“Me smoke them?" cried the store.

This Is a source of much distress to
Emily Margaret, as she is not too
young to appreciate the advantage of
curly hair, and she particularly ad-
mires black hair, She was at Sunday
school recently, and the teacher was
telling of the terrible plight of the
children of the war-stricken coun-
tries. By the way of tnuplanting a
proper appreciation of their blessings
in the minds of the children, the teach-
er called their attention to the cov-
trast between their own condition and
that of the uufortunate youngsters
overseas.
“Why,” she concluded, “you little
ones have no idea of what sorrow
means.” Emily Margaret was ita
pressed, but she could not let tBe
statement go unchallenged. She ad-
dressed the teacher thus: “Miss
Blank, I'm awfully sorry for them,
but all the same I do not know what
sorrow means. Every time I see a lit-
