KANSAS LAST MEETING St. John Lodge Number 9, of the York Rite Masons, held its last meeting for the year of 1921, Tuesday night at the hall, corner of Everett avenue and Ninth street. There were inspiring talks made by a number of the members and the Worshipful Master, Dr. J. Franklin Wilson, gave a 10-minute lecture, which was greatly appreciated by the Craft. It was telling and instructive. Next meeting first Tuesday in January. St. John Lodge No. 9 and Frank Wilson Lodge No. 88 will have a joint meeting the first Saturday night in January. PASEO Y. M. C. A. The membership continues to grow. A membership will be a good Christmas present for man or boy. Sergeant Major Williams of Lincoln High school offers a regulation calet uniform suit to any student that secures ten or more adult members for the Y. M. C. A. This is a fine offer. The dormitory men will have a Christmas tree Sunday morning. They will hark back to boyhood days and meet Santa Claus as of old. "O, to be a boy again." Mr. Miller's address at the Sunday afternoon meeting was of great and lasting value to the men. The 3:30 p.m. meetings evey Sunday are well worth your attending. Dr. Dial of Cincinnati, Ohio, will address the meeting Sunday at 3:30 p.m. All men and boys are invited. A lady called one of the secretaries to her home to inquire about the cost of membership. She purchased a full membership ($8.00) for her husband. This kind of Christmas present is becoming popular. An increasing interest is developing. Enjoy a Christmas dinner in our cafe. ST. LUKE A. M.

FIRST BAPTIST The revival that has been going on for ten days, conducted by Dr. Skinner, closed Wednesday night with splendid success.

TO SERVE XMAS DINNER TO NEEDY We have in our community one family who is going to demonstrate this Christmas the real spirit by excluding themselves from giving to each other the usual Christmas gifts and using the money for a big Christmas dinner for fifty parents and children who are not able to provide such a dinner for themselves. We refer to Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Jarrett, of 923 Freeman avenue. They will serve the dinner Monday in the dining room of the First A. M. E. church. It would certainly be nice if others of our racial group could feel and look with the same spirit as Mr. and Mrs. Jarrett. KASSEL JEWELRY CO.

As I Have Known Him: I first met him at the Kansas Conference at Atchison, Kansas, in the year of 1914. As a man, he was pious, unassuming and slow to become acquainted with, but once you was acquainte dwith him, you would learn to love him, for he possessed characters that went to make up a great man, and should he have lived and had the opportunity, he would have been a great man in the church. As a Christian, he was known as such in the Kansas Conferencee and all of these that came in contact with him. He was a Christian minister. As a presiding elder; he served the Topeka District for four years. He was careful in placing the men in making any recommendations, but once made it was his own conviction, and would stand by his recommendation. As a whole, all of the men were well pleased and seem to be pleased with him as their presiding elder, and was at a loss to giv ehim up. As a father, he was' loving and kind to his children and was always found doing all he could to stand by them. He loved his family and made a loving husband and remained as such-until his death. The last annual conference, he was assigned to pastor at Emporia, Kansas, but was not able to do much. He taken sick just after he arrived and remained in poor health until Thanksgiving day, as he grew worse, Rev. J. R. Ransom was called to the bedside after talking with him, he departed this life. He leaves many friends as well as wife and children to mourn his departure. Dr. J. R. Ransom, who is always a friend to all men, arranged the funeral, taking care of all arrangements, taking care of the family, looked after all expenses, at his own risk and shipped the body to Kansas City for burial. Too much praise cannot be given to Dr. Ransom in this case. The writer also was present at the funeral. R. S. EVERETT, Pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Ottawa, Kansas. Page Two.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Who are you going to make happy this Christmas? Dyspepsia sows a lot of the milk of human kindness. Some people make the best of everything and others take it. Don't look for fruits on a tree that never bore a blossom. The best man on earth is the man who occupies six feet of earth. An optimist may be a person who invests in a gold brick every time the opportunity presents itself. Have you in your community a family who has not the comforts of life as you have? Just go back a few years of your life. CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum had the liveliest meeting of the year December 18, at Metropolitan Templ. President G. A. Curry presided. After the opening hymn, the chaplain prayed, and the program was as follows: Cello solo, Prof. W. B. Kennedy; of Western University, accompanied by Miss Lottie Kennedy; was applauded. Current events, from Sumner High students. Vocal solo, by Mr. Jack Trueitt, of Western University, was very fine and he was enced. Introduction of the orator of the hour, by Father Wright. Address, "Christianity in Japan," by the Rt. Rev. S. C. Partridge, D.D., Bishop of Western Missouri, was excellent. All enjoyed it to the end. He said in part, "Life is the greatest school." He taught us more about Japan than we ever learned in school. Says, "The sun shines first there and begins the day of the whole world." "Ja" means sun, and "pan" means root, where the sun kisses Nippon, the kingdom of sunrise. Says, "Japanese is only a spoken language, and they have no words for "yes" or "no." They have not taken up our mode of civilization. He concluded with the thought that the Queen of the Pacific with its 44,000,000 people, are not going to be any "Yellow Peril," but our missions have made them wiser, and they will pass into the courts of God." He received an ovation of applause. Mr. G. W. Reed told how he kept the strikers from doir violent things and hopes they will not have to resort to martial law. He was greatly applauded. Prof. Kennedy and Mr. J. Trueitt gave solos which were cheered. After a scramble of three or four gentlemen to obtain the floor the following committee to nominate officers wer appointed: Mr. C. Jenkins, Attorney D. Henderson, Rev. N. B. Robinson, Attorney Wm. Towers and Mrs. W. Dwiggins. Judge Bradley and Mr. T. Knapper moved for a standing vote of thanks to be given to Bishop Partridge for his very instructive address. He responded to the thanks in Japanese and the audience gave him a second ovation. Next Sunday officers are to be electd. Be sure to come December 25. Christmas day. A fine program will be rendered. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

Call at 1601 N. 8th St., K. C., K. The Kansas City Advocate, December 23, 1921 METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The first sermon our pastor has preached, since God gave him health again, was truly wonderful. He let those with Bibles assist him. His subject was "The Supreme Gift." He used I Cor. XIII. Mrs. M. C. Matthews read the first and fourth stanzas; Mrs. Battles read the fourth to seventh, and others sanctioned his wonderful explanations and preaching as the spirit led him. He said in part, 'that if faith, hope and charity, charity, which means love, is the greatest of all. Peter says "above all things have fervent love." John says, "God is love." Paul says, "Love is the fulfilling of the law; love the Lord and thy God with all thy strength and thy neighbor as thyself." So if we have love we have God. He gave numerous beautiful Bible illustrations and found the subject was so exhaustless he could not finish it in one sermon, but he made it plain that the supreme gift is love of God. Many brought up dolalrs to pay for coal. At night, Dr. Anderson preached. Some united with the church. The colections are growing and everything is moving along fine. Deacons Johnson, Ford, Thomas, Oliver, Jennings, McCombs and Taylor were present. Also Trustees Warner, I. V. Brown, J. Dyson; John Collins and others. Next Sunday, December 25, Pastor Harrison will preach his first Christmas sermon here. Everybody come out and hear him. The choir has a special Christmas program arranged for the morning and at night there will be a Christmas program. also. All enjoyed the innovation of Bible reading as the pastor preached. Dr. E. A. Wilson, one of our ex-pastors, used to have us use the Bible, too. Mrs. Z. Nelson is one captain of a club. Mrs. H. Dandridge is a captain, and also, Mr. Andrews.
