KANSAS MIDNIGHT, IN CHICAGO, IS ATTENDING A GREAT BAPTIST CONVENTION Talk of Split in the Convention Was Words from the Hotter Regions, and Did Not Materialize Many Kansas People There in Attendance Deplores the Lawlessness in West Virginia, as Result of Unrestrained Lynchings. M. B. REV. J. F. GRIFFIN Pastor of First Church, who w to his Annual Conference next week, with a clean slate. Volume VIII MIDNIGHT, IN CHICAGO GREAT BAPTIST Talk of Split in the Conve the Hotter Regions, and Many Kansas People Deplores the Lawlessne Result of Unrestrained Chicago, Ill., As I sit down in my chair with my ink and paper on the table to write you a few lines this week, I am on the eve of the National Baptist convention, and when you read this letter it will be on its way out, and I predict that it will be the greatest session in the history of the Baptists of America and much good will be accom- REV. J. F. C. Pastor of First Church, who vence next week, with a clean plished and many things done for the betterment of all of the people. Dr. A. M. Townsend will have demonstrated to the Baptists of America that he is a rare ability man, and that he is going to give to the race the largest and greatest publishing plant in the world owned and operated by us, and I will thank God for him and his great work. He has had one year of up hill pull, but like a Ford he has just cranked his car and went right on up, until today he is giving his people the best literature published for Sunday school purposes, and his business has not been built up on abusing Dr. Boyd or Doctor anybody else. He has just put into the business, honesty, reliability, integrity and thrift and when you let people see that you are business, they are business with you. If you will remember I told you one year ago that he was the man if they could get him to remain on the job, and he has decided to do that, and you will see now what is taking place. He has associated with him in this work Dr. W. M. Haynes, the chairman of the board, Dr. E. M. Lawrence, assistant secretary S. P. Harris, and others whose names I do not recall. There will be some faces missed this time. Dr. C. T. Walker will not be here; Dr. A. Barbour, one of the strongest friends of Dr. E. C. Morris, will not be here, for these men have answered the summons, and if it is possible only their spirits will hover over the meeting. As I write this letter, permit me to say to you that there will be peace and harmony throughout the session Some papers have tried to say that there would be a split, and that Dr. L. K. Williams was going to run for president against Dr. E. C. Morris, and if not elected would walk out with a crowd. This GO, IS ATTENDING A CONVENTION ention Was Words from Did Not Materialize— There in Attendance— less in West Virginia, as Lynchings. came directly from h—l, and to that hot place it will return. Dr. L. K. Williams is in full harmony with the administration and is a strong supporter of Dr. Morris, and will give to the convention the greatest entertainment it has had in the history of the organization. Things are ripe for it, and as you read this GRIFFIN go to his Annual Confer- slate. letter they will be gong on. If you know anything about Dr. L. K. Williams, you know that he is made of good cloth a yard wide, and you can look him in the face and tell where he stands. He come from the blue hen's stock, and for that reason he is to be admired. He is not a whooper, but his voice of course is the still voice, and when he speaks something has to be said. I admire the young man who is on his right side, Rev. J. H. Branham, of Texas. He is a strong preacher and a man who is true to a friend. I wish you could see him now. He is just one more busy man, getting around like a chicken with his head cut off trying to please the guests, and he wears a smile that would do honor to the Gold Dust Twins. He represents the aggressive young men. The National Negro Business League is over. I am sorry that I could not be there for it was a great session, I am told, and then it was visited by a great president, the president of Liberia. It is a nice thing when we can have our president over here, and when I hear of him visiting around I just feel like taking off my hat and shouting a little bit. Dr. Robert R. Moton was again elected president of the League and this is what it should have been, and will ever be. The National Negro Business League is going to take on new life in the future. Dr. Emmett J. Scott was re-elected secretary, and right by his side in the future will be Albion Holsey, assistant secretary, and he is a hustler. Great things will be accomplished. It looks like the United States is going to rise to a point of order and give to the Ku Klux Klan what Patty gave the drum. I hope that this is going to be, for in a country of law and order why should there exist an (Concluded on Page Four) Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, September 9, 1921 REV. J. F. GRIFFIN GOES THE CONFERENCE WITH A C Pastor of First A. M. E. Church Years Here Has Cleared Chu of Debt—His People Want Another Year—Mrs. Griffin for a Great Measure of His S REV. J. F. GRIFFIN GOES TO HIS ANNUAL CONFERENCE WITH A CLEAN SHEET Pastor of First A. M. E. Church, During His Four Years Here Has Cleared Church of the Burden of Debt—His People Want Him Returned for Another Year—Mrs. Griffin is Given Credit for a Great Measure of His Success. A THE CATHEDRAL OF THE NUNS Miss Gertrude Lankford is home for a short visit with her mother, Mrs. Coombes, 837 Nebraska avenue, before returning to her school at Langston University. A little more than four years ago, First A. M. E. Church, at the corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, was struggling with a remodeling program of considerable magnitude. Dr. J. R. Ransom, a pioneer and leading minister of this state, being in charge. But just as this pastor had got under way of the work, he was removed to another charge. This left this congregation without a pastor, as it was in the middle of the conference year. This condition nearly thrown the congregation into a panic, and the bishop was telegraphed to come forth with, and he obeyed orders, as he always does in time of distress. The good bishop, Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks, met the congregation and in his wise and fatherly way says, "Don't worry, children. I have a man for you and First church who is able and will lead you and this Zion out of the wilderness." And surely had the marks of a wilderness. Some believed, while others had no oil in the lamps—but on the 17th day of May, 1917, here comes the man, who was to lead this church and people out of the wilderness as says the bishop. He comes from the Sunny South, way down on the bay, Mobile, Alabama. A fine looking specimen of humanity, big in statute, big in heart, big in brain, big in human kindness, big in spirit, big in the pulpit—in fact, he was found to be a full man on any job placed upon him. This Moses is the present pastor, Rev. J. F Griffin, a preacher, a scholar, a humanitarian, a community builder, a financier and with all of these, a Christian gentleman. We spoke about the condition of things on his arrival, and with $6,000 indebtedness on the church. No basement, put in at a cost of $3,800, interior, $5,500, parsonage $3,700, furnished the same, $800, pews $1440, pipe organ, $3,000, side walks $300 and many minor improvements, all being nearly $25,000. Next week Rev. Griffin will go to his annual conference at Lincoln, Nebraska, with a clean sheet, so far as any one holding a scratch of paper against First Church. It was a big job and it took a big man to do it. While the temporal side was being looked after, the spiritual welfare of the church was not being neglected and many souls have been brought into the fold during his administration, besides a large number of accessions. With all of this work and taking care of his pastoral work, ADVOCATE Col. C. P. Edwards of Wichita Kans., stopped off in the city Sunday and worshipped at First A. M. E. church. Col. Edwards is a court bailiff in one of the divisions in his city. DES TO HIS ANNUAL H A CLEAN SHEET Church, During His Four ed Church of the Burden Want Him Returned for Griffin is Given Credit of His Success. Dr. Griffin could always find time in an active way, to assist in any civic affairs for the betterment of the race and community and has and is now at the head of a number of our uplifting organizations of the city He is president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., president of the Civic League, an organization for the purpose of seeing that our racial group get a square deal in civic affairs, is at the head of Douglass hospital, and was treasurer of the Children's Orphan Home until his work became to heavy for hi sway of doing business-motto Do It Well at All Hazards or Quit He is treasurer and secretary of the Fifth Episcopal district in the Five Million dollar drive, and is supervising the new $50,000 building that is being erected at Western University. At this time, his whole soul and mind is upon his Annual Conference, as to its claims according to the church law, as that is one thing he believes in doing, complying to the law of his church as it is lain down.. But he has faith in his communicants now, as he has for the past four years, that they will be as loyal to their duty, as at all other previous occasions of this kind. The church is praying and asking in Christian faith, that no barrier may come in the way, on the return of Dr. Griffin to First church for another year. His labors have been strenuous the past four years and his work merits his stay here, that he might enjoy and rest, at least a few years of his toil and accomplishments. His wife, Mrs. Griffin, deserves and is given an abundance of credit, by her husband, to his success here, as well as all through his ministerial career. She is a woman that understands human nature and her wisdom, associated with coolness of brain, is invaluable to any one. Mrs. Griffin is greatly admired and loved by all. Dr. P. M. Bell, a prominent physician of Wichita, Kansas, joined his wife here, Mrs. Montgomery-Bell, enroute home from Chicago, and spent a few days with Mrs. Bell's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, of Oakland avenue, and her sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Clayborne, onr leading grocer on Washington avenue. Miss Velma Mae Fields has returned from Milwaukee, Wis., and Chicago, Ill., where she spent her vacation.

Hayes of the First Baptist church, Leavenworth, was re-elected moderator for the fifth year. Rev. Hayes preached Sunday morning for the, First Baptist church (white). As an expression of satisfaction a committee headed by the pastor, visited the association and asked that the Leavenworth pastor conduct the out-of-door union services Sunday night. The request was granted and the Rev. Mr. Hayes spoke before a large and appreciative audience. Rev. Hayes is not only a great preacher but a church builder, an organizer for efficiency, and a financier. His method of raising money is via 'God's Financial Plan.' Mrs. Hayes, wife of the reverend, is making a specialty of Sunday school work and is an expert along that line.

It was the fourth and last quarterly meeting of this conference year. Rev. A.C. Terrill, the presiding elder of the Kansas City district of the Nebraska conference, was present and delivered an excellent sermon at the morning service. Rev. Terrill could not fill his third quarter on account of severe illness and the pastor and congregation was glad to see and have him with us at the close of the year's work. The prayers of First Church and the entire district went up to the Master for his recovery. Friday night was love feast, when a large and happy people worshipped and enjoyed a feast in the name of the Lord, the presiding elder conducting the service. The communion sermon was preached by that wonderful pulpit orator, Rev. H. L. Bolden, pastor of the C. M. E. church. Rev. Wm. Mitchell filled the pulpit at the evening service and preached $ t_{\mathrm{v}} $ a good audience. Quarterly conference was held Monday evening, when the year's work was gone over. The reports showed a new epoch in the history of the church. All indebtedness against the church being cancelled and many of the auxiliaries showing a healthy balance in their treasury. Dollar money roll is not satisfactory to the pastor, but First Church cannot afford to let its pastor go to conference without a full rounded out dollar money report. First church stands at the head of the conference and has for years and cannot afford to lower its colors for the first time in the new conference. Pay your dollar money—the biggest dollar in the connection. The pastor and his delegation will leave for conference next Tuesday morning, the 13th over the Missouri Pacific from the Kansas side depot. The Sunday school attendance Sunday was exceedingly large, the entire lecture room being filled. The orchestra, under the supervision of Prof. Wise is rendering fine music each Sunday.

What you want to Ax me dat for,—You orter know I'se tryin' to think. "Would you their fond pageant see, Lord, what fools,—Ye mortals be." Yes, when I cast a glance at the situation, I am forced to conclude that the above, applies to us, with full force. For it is a verity, that we, like all other groups, hold within our grasp, that which, will make us, if conserved,—or oreak us; if ignored. And you ask me,—Whether or not "I think the game worth the candle." My answer is a most emphatic YES. I am fully satisfied that "He profits most, who serves best." And although much of our energy may be wasted, or what is worse, expended against our interests, and in favor of those who would drag down and destroy us; although each day brings glaring instances of overt acts of that kind,—wherein we refuse to "Help each other pull together, but instead, positively pull each other down; still, I am not discouraged,—but am RESOLVED TO TRY. To awaken the spirit within us.—which shall become to be; the FORCE and POWER, by which we shall make ourselves units and factors in the game and play of desirable and worthy citizens. Let us begin the work of our League with a full determinate to make it, and those constituting it, as Good as the Best. Let us begin with Noble purposes, and High Resolves, to live to the full measure of both; and to implant the same ideas in others. We can not do these things, without great effort:—it will take and require Patience, Courage and persistence:—Selfabnegation, Hardwork and Forbearance. Then, let each of us lay in a stock of all of these,—and take pains, an make effort to do so:—for I have little faith in the notion of "Being Born Great"—I never saw one of that kind, who did not have the "Bighead." Then, "Let's on deck. all hands and the cook" for the year. UNCLE IKE. Miss Mary Link, graduate of Sumner and Chicago University will teach this ensuing year at Langston University.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Zealous hearted Christian and many friends assembled at Metropolitan Temple Sunday morning to enjoy divine worship. Dr. C. Young, president of a Baptist college, delivered good sermons at 11 A. M. and 8 P. M. He made the plan of salvation so plain in the morning, that Miss Henrietta Gayden was converted and joined the church for baptism. "There is more joy in Heaven over one soul saved than over ninety and nine) just persons." The Sunday school had a very large attedance, also the B. Y. P. U. The Mission Circle had an enthusiastic meeting and gave thankfulness for raising many dollars over $100 for their Women's day program. A typographical error made a mistake in last Sunday's collection; the collection was over one hundred and fourteen dollars ($114). September 4th the collection was not as much. This Sunday, Sept. 11th, Dr. Harrison, of Texas, our new pastor-elect, will come from the National Baptist convention at Chicago and preach morning and evening. He will also state just when he will come to take charge and remain. All are invited to come and hear him then and when he comes to stay. The members of auxiliaries of this church sent a floral blanket in memory of dear Sister Brown, mother of the ex-pastor, and several attended the funeral at Macon City, as she was still a member of Metropolitan when she departed this life. Metropolitan church has given an average of $10 a week to people needing charity; that makes about $520 a year given to charity. Her edifice has been copied as far as possible in one of more features. So it is worth while to build well. It yet stands in a class by itself, the most convenient to get out of, if any disaster should occur, and the finest in the city. The deacons have purchased their winter coal and are having the church repainted. God has certainly blessed these people, especially for four months. Their prayer meetings are at 6 A. M., and Wednesday 8 P. M. All are invited. Dr. Holmes came Sunday evening to thank the church for sending flowers and resolutions about his mother. A SAINTED MOTHER GONE The funeral of Mrs. Priscilla Thomas, on Nebraska avenue, will take place this, Friday, afternoon at Metropolitan Temple, at 2 P. M. All are invited to attend. Mrs. Lottie Williams entertained at dinner Thursday a week ago Mesdames Dr. Combs, of Nashville, Tenn.: Dr, Bell, of Wichita; Mrs. I. F. Bradley; Mesdames Susie Montgomery and Mabel Clayborne, and Sunday, August 28, she entertained Mrs. B. Graves and Bessie Jones at dinner. Mrs. Laura Kelso, of Los Angeles, Cal., visited Mrs. J. T. Roberts two weeks and returned Tuesday to her home after enjoying herself at her friend's home. Dr. John Wilson, Mr. John Wilson and many other Masons will go to the Grand Lodge of York Masons at Sioux City next week. Dr. G. A. Bowren, Dr. John Richardson, Dr. D. B, Jackson, Dr. George McNeal, Dr. M. Williams and Dr. Clay and other Baptists left for Chicago this week to attend the National apptist convention. The F. & A. A.

Then we must say to the world that our contention for a world-wide democracy was a mockery. I am not going to say any mean things or think any cuss words, but I am going to watch the Republican congress, Republican president, and see what is going to be done. The party has it in its power to do something now, but just what will be done we will wait and see. I hope that President Harding will measure up to the manhood that is so much needed in this country. I will be in Parsons, Kansas, next week. I have been invited there by Dr. T. W. Green, Jr., to make a few remarks to the people, and from there I will go to conference in Topeka. I will see that conference through, and then go on to another part of the world. Kansas is in Chicago this week by a large majority. President Bowren of the state convention is here with his host of men and women and I am real proud to see them here. They are striving to do great things, and if I am any kind of judge they are meeting with success. I want success everywhere and you do too. Whither is our country drifting? What means all that outbreak in West Virginia? This is not a race riot, but straws tell the way the wind is blowing. We have permitted the murder of certain citizens with impunity, and now the thing is turning. Americans have grown bloodthirsty, and unless there is a stop and right now, the future is dark. Make life and property safe. Send lynching to the bottomless pit of hell or it will ascend into heaven, so to speak, and if we have too much internal strife, then there is a foreign nation that will step in and wallop the hades out of us. I care not what enemy may attempt it, we Americans will unite as one family and strike back. Every Negro is willing to die for Old Glory. Our President is looking down the line, and we are looking with him. He is not in favor of disarmament, and I don't blame him. There may be something rotten in Denmark or some other mark and we are not going to be caught in a trap. I am a full fledged American citizen, with all the love for America heaving in my bosom, breast or any other seat of government, and if you are in doubt touch our flag and you will soon find out where I am. I remember how me and General Grant put things down in this country before, and while I am a little up in years I still have that war spirit and I believe I can tote a gun for a few miles, rest a while and then go to shooting. It was that country poet, Hermes lZimmerman, who wrote, "America First and Forever," an he spoke my sentiments. I join with him. J. O. MINIGHT. PRES.

The annual sermon at Bethel A. M. E. church preached by Rev. Terry, was enjoyed by all. The sermon was instructive and showed close research of God's word. The memorial services by Rev. Doyle. The annual session of the Grand Encampment presided over by Col, T. B. J. Robinson, was interesting and instructive. The Gordon Levite Guards, presided over by Mattie B. Evans, S. G. Q. M., was a feature of the Children's department, shows a wonderful year. Friday afternoon the famous St. Elmo drill team of Kansas City, Mo., put on an exhibition drill. The movements executed receive applause from the audience. The installation of Supreme Grand Officers were conducted by C. M. Johnson, assisted by Jennie Carter Howell. The session closed to meet in Sioux City, Iowa, in 1922. With abundant natural ability as an executive, a generous and broad view of things fraternal and devotion that measures the maximum of S. D. of J. Fidelity Samuel Diggs, M. N. S. G. K. brings to the Executive Office a boundless wealth of power and energy. His broadened business ability and his trained mind makes him pre-eminently fitted for this task. In fraternal work in order to be successful in his fullest and best sense it takes a combination of qualities for leadership in which courage and persistence play a very important part. The foundation for belief that our leader possesses these qualities rests upon his many years of loyalty to the Order in which he has served in a multitude of ways and always with great success in bringing to a fruitition the plans and purposes of the A. S. D. of J. Possessed of a personality, magnetic and impressive, deeply imbued with the principles of the Order and his own readiness to aid and encourage, the F. O. of A. S. D. of J. at large hold a firm faith in his leadership. The membership of the Order greets him for the second time as S.G.K. and Herald of A. S. D. of J. progress and pledges unqualified support. Kansas City Advocate, Friday, September 9, 1921 Whys and Whereforces of the Subject Dealt With at Length by English Writer. I never put on a new hat without a certain feeling of pity for the mere man who can never enjoy the delicious thrill that it gives, writes J. M. in the London Dally Mall. But there is much to be gone through before that triumphant moment arrives, for the business of choosing a new hat is fraught with nervous apprehension lest our choice fall upon the wrong shape or color. Only moral cowards take refuge in perpetual black headgear. What, then, is it exactly that we feel within ourselves as we step into the open street for the first time in a new hat? If the hat is an undoubted success, it gives a peculiar sense of elation—a knowledge that she is looking her best always makes a woman feel her prettiest! Hats should be indicative of the moods of the wearer. Black for dignity, dark blue for sobriety, brown for calm days, red for hustling days. The hat with the nodding roses denotes a gay midsummer mood, the "modest violet" toque makes a mute appeal to romance. The dashing cavaller of a hat with sweeping plumes (none of your glycerined travesties, but well-nourished billowy ostrich feathers) precludes an adventure, while the Quaker gray toque with the floating vell goes with demure, downcast eyes. But for real happiness give me the old felt hat that lives at the back of the wardrobe and has survived the "turning out" of many years. As we cram this old friend on to our head, with a pull at the brim to shade the eyes, the cool air of the uplands comes to meet us even as we reach for a stick and pass out through the open door on the road which leads back to the land of happy memories. MARAT HONORED AS PATRIOT Bloodthirsty Leader of French Revolution Interred With the Great From the destruction of the bastle, 132 years ago, July 14, the commencement of the French Revolution is dated, and its sanguinary fauntieim has no representative of such odious repulsiveness as John Paul Marat, who was assassinated in 1793. By birth a Swiss of Calvinistic parents, he had led a strange life for 45 years—latterly a sort of quack physician—when the great national crisis brought him to the surface as a journalist and a member of the convention. Less than five feet high, with frightful countenance and maniacal eye, he was an object of aversion to most people; but he had frantic earnestness and hesitated at no violence against the enemies of liberty, and so came to possess the entire confidence and affection of the mob of Paris. His paper daily clamored for blood and he desired every well-dressed person to be put to death. It was on July 14, four years after the fall of the bastle, that Charlotte Corday stabbed him to death in his bath to avenge the fate of her friend, one Barbaroux. Larat's death was treated as a public calamity and his body was deposited in the Pantheon with great honors.—Chicago Journal. Fight Locusts With Airplanes. Fight Locusts With Airplanes. The locust plague in southern France is being fought with the aid of airplanes. One hundred thousand acres of fertile land have been devastated. The pests are hatching out in isolated spots on the great Crau plain, and each new "nest" gives birth to many millions of locusts. It is of vital importance to destroy the young insects before they are strong enough to fly far, and this is where the airplanes are proving so useful. Pilots now daily scour the whole of the Crau plain, flying extremely low. When they locate a breeding ground or "nest" of locusts directions are immediately telephoned to the anti-locust headquarters at Miramas. If there is long grass near, petrol is poured on it and it is set afire. Otherwise the infested area is strewn with sawdust soaked in arsenic. This kills the locusts at once, and also any eggs that are unhatched. French Courtesy. In one of the smaller cities in central France used by a division headquarters during the winter of 1918-19, Alphonse, the barber, endeavored to learn to speak English. To this end he was diligently coached by numerous Yank dispatch bearers, sergeant majors and clerical workers, and Alphonse learned fast. No less a personage than the commanding general of the division strode into the barber shop one day and demanded a shave in a hurry. Alphonse, who was tending a lowly enlisted customer, knew rank when he saw it, and rose to the occasion. "Saltainlee, mon general," he replied, bowing with the French politeness. "Seet down, mon general, an' you be nex 'beeg steel!" China a Flour Exporter. At a time when there are so many appeals for funds with which to purchase flour for shipment to the Chinese famine victims, it is rather unbelievable that in normal times China produces sufficient flour for export purposes. Yet in 1920 almost six million barrels of Chinese flour were shipped to Europe. New mills are contemplated in the wheat growing sections. Scientific American. Thrifty Beggar Proves He Has Studied Human Nature, and Profited by His Knowledge. The man in the light-green Palm Beach suit paused in front of the beggar hear Thirty-fifth street on Broadway. "Haven't I seen you before somewhere?" he asked, according to the New York Sun. "I think it was in Wichita, Kan., last winter. How do you happen to be clear back here?" The beggar, who lacked both arms, laughed. "Human nature," he said. "That's the most important part of our trade, boss. I've been at this business for several years. I found that during the summer in the Western states they're like New Yorkers during the winter. They're so busy out there with the wheat harvest they don't have time to think of the poor man much. The result is, they don't give. Here in New York things kinda stendy down in summer and the New Yorker shows his pace. He notes our condition and is willing to give more. "Well, in winter, when the harvest is over out West, they're more liberal because things slow down. They have time to think about our condition. New Yorkers are so busy when they start the winter stride they forget about us. I've nearly doubled my income by shifting East and West at the right time." PUT IT UP TO PROFESSOR Freshman, It Must Be Conceded, Made Rather a Good Point in His Argument. In one of the Middle-Western medical universities the course in embryology is variously described as the "elimination course," "a study in which a student can get two weeks behind in two days," and in other ways indicative of the rapidity with which the required work is covered. In a recent final examination, a question was asked which had not been in any way mentioned in either lecture or lab. One freshman ventured to remonstrate thus: "Dr. P——, I don't remember that you ever lectured upon that." The professor replied: "No, I never did. I thought while you were pondering over your studies you would naturally be curious in regard to some of these things that I have not lectured upon and would be led to discover them for yourselves." "Professor," replied the student, "if you were being chased across a field by an angry bull, would you stop to either gather or contemplate the beauty of the wild flowers that you possess?"—Judge.
