Pythian Carnival Now Going On In New Temple, 524 State Ave. And All Next Week --- KANSAS Kans.Hist.Society Volume VIII 'SINGLE SONG BOOK AND CATECHISM TO BE USED NOW The Three Methodist Churches Have Come Together on That Point Other Mid-Night Observations Live Oak, Florida.I am deeply interested in this education business, and if you will take time to believe me honey, I have been in touch with some big educators since I wrote you last and I have been to some of the schools where education is being dished out to the coming men and women of my race, saying nothing about others. When I took my pen in hand the last time to write to you, I was in Montgomery, Ala., mingling with them bishops up there, and seeing just what was going on. They had one more big time there. All the bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church, African Methodist Episcopal Zion church and the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, were all there in large numbers and they had many things to say. They decided to get out one common hymn book, so when Methodists go to church, they will all be singing from the same book, and then the next step was to get out one common catechism. I don't know just what the book is, but they will all use the same book for the same purpose, and some one will have to tell me what it is, for it is not in my big head. It will not be long before all will use the same appointments—in fact they will get married and all be one. Of course you have heard all about what they said to Secretary Ira T. Bryant. They told him to take up his bed and walk out of the Sunday School Union, but what Mr. Bryant said I am not able to say, but he did not walk out. The Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church could not agree as to their authority and power and Bishop J. S. Flipper just reneged, and when the bishops insisted on him following suit, he offered his resignation as chairman of the Sunday School Union Publishing Board, and they elected Bishop W. D. Chappelle. For when Secretary Bryant refused to resign, then the Board of Managers was ordered through the chairman to suspend him, and Bishop Flipper told them they did not have the power to do so, and rather than become a laughing baby before the public, handed in his resignation, and when a showdown comes it will be found that under the charter, the Bishops cannot accept such resignation and elect successor. But cough for that for the time being, and now I want you to go with me out to Mt. Meigs or the People's Village school. An institution that is doing a great work. I was indeed proud to come in touch with this great woman and to see the great work she was doing. Thinking that you would step right off of the train at the school, I went down unannounced, and low and behold, it was a long distance from Merry, but some of the children were kind enough to notify Miss Washington that there was a good looking old yaller man down at Merry wanting to come to the station, and soon her automobile, drawn by a horse was there to tote me to the school. Reaching there, a young woman met me at the door, and told me that Miss Washington was in chapel and soon I saw that great woman and she came and shook my lily black hand, told me she was delighted to have me come to the school.

BYRON GUNNER DEAD Presbyterian Clergyman and Noted Race Champion Dies at Reading, Pa. Hillburn, N. Y., Feb. 12. This afternoon, Lincoln day, the body of the late Rev. Byron Gunner, was laid to rest in the local cemetery. Services were held in the Presbyterian Mission church, of which he was for 10 years the pastor. He died at Reading, Penn., where he was pastor of the Colored Presbyterian church, after a brief illness. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Cicely Gunner, two daughters and two sons. Rev. Gunner was born in Alabama, graduated from Tallelega College, and has pastored both Congregational and Presbyterian churches in the north and the south. For six years he was the national president of the National Equal Rights League, being a member of the delegation of the League which interviewed President Wilson against federal segregation in 1914. He was once for five times in the hands of a Mississippi mob on the verge of putting him to death, but he refused to "confess." He was a good orator.

Kansas City, Kansas, February 24, 1922 CITY COLONEL YOUNG MEMORIAL TO BE SUNDAY, MAR. 12 Law Will Not Allow Body to Be Brought to This Country for a Year—All Organization's Should Act Washington, D. C., Feb. 16. (Associated Negro Press.) After consultation with the officials of the state department, and other well known citizens throughout the country, the Associated Negro Press announces Sunday, March 12, as the date for national memorial services in honor of Colonel Charles Young, U. S. A., "well known soldier," who died recently in Nigeria, in the service of his country. The final disposition of the body of Colonel Young has not been dtermined upon. It has been stated that the laws probably would not permit bringing the body to this country within a year. Consequently the date for the memorial service was agreed upon. At the state department, the Associated Negro Press was informed unofficially that the immediate cause of the death ofCol. Young was bright's disease. It is thought that he had gone to Nigeria for the benefit of his health. Mrs. Charles Young, the colonel's wife, it is learned, is in this country, at Wilberforce, Ohio, the country home of the distinguished military officer, where the colonel's mother also is living. The children are in school abroad. Real Memorial Event It is planned to make the 12th of March a real memorial event. Besides memorial services in the regular army regiments, Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry and the Ninth and Tenth cavalry regiments, the Eighth Illinois, Chicago, Colonel Otis B.

ADVOCATE DON'T WANT A HAITIAN MARINE WHITEWASH JOB Race Organization Suggests Two Investigators Be Sent to That Country-One to Be a Civilian Boston, Mass., Feb. 10.—The National Equal Rights League today sent a remonstrance to President Harding against his selection of a general of marines to make special investigation and report to the president on the situation in Haiti on the ground that, inasmuch as the marines were those accused by the Haitians of maltreatment of the natives, a general of the marines could scarcely be unbiased. The League asked that the president send two investigators, one of them a civilian, to make a joint report. The League also expressed a strong dissent from the President's selection of a white American for the post of Register of the Treasury, which by tacit understanding in the campaign was assured by the Republican party would be returned to the colored citizenry.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Attorney Forrest B. Anderson announces in this issue of The Advocate that his hat is in the ring as a candidate for State Representative in the next election.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Pastor Harrison returned home on time, and a large congregation greeted him. He preached to the B. Y. P. U. and Sunday school at 11 a. m. But he preached so it reached every Christian heart. He also had some to read Bible passages in connection with his sermon and installed the officers of these junior church organizations. Mr. J. Willis sang the 123rd Psalm as a base solo. Prof. J. P. King announced the night school concert and praised Dr. Harrison's sermon very highly. At 8 p. m., the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. gave a program which was supposed to last only thirty minutes, but as it lasted until 9 p. m., Pastor Harrison did not get to preach. Many came to hear him preach but were disappointed. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. choruses were good; also the papers by Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Eskridge and Mrs. Jones. Mr. Daniels has a cultivated tenor voice and the quartet by Mrs. V. Calhoun, C. Rutledge, C. Daniels and Rev. O. Calhoun was good. The collection was around the $100-mark and next Sunday it will be $200. The church is very lively right now, and true Christians hope our pastor will have a series of meetings. All are invited to this church. Come and hear the Gospel taken from the Greek and Hebrew and simplified by this man of God. All are welcome at Metropolitan to praise God as the Spirit leads you.

It was a beautiful spring-like day and the vast audience rejoiced in th name of the Lord. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, delivered his second sermon of the series, subject "Departure to a Far Country." Each sermon of the series is stronger in spiritual fervency and the souls of men and women are lifted up. Souls are being converted at each one of these sermons. The pastor's subject for next Sunday will be "Living in a Far Country." If you want to have choice seats, you will have to come early. Dean Jones, the assistant pastor, filled the pulpit at the evening service and delivered a most wonderful sermon to a fine and appreciative audience. Miss Hall, the new secretary of the Y. W. C. A., was introduced to the congregation and made remarks of a very pleasing nature. The annual banquet, which is to take place the 23rd of March, under the management of Mr. Jarrett, is on its way to a larger success than all previous ones. The speaker has been secured, who comes from a Far Off country and who will have a story to tell that but few ever have the opportunity to hear. This speaker comes from Tokgo, Japan, and is a Japanese of highly intellectual qualities. Watch for window cards. Com to the services Sundav and be lifted up by-drinking in a great Gospel sermon. Doors are always open to everybody. Bring your friend and neighbor next Sunday and be made feel someone is interested in you and your friend. Argentine. Kansas St. Paul A. M.

The Rev. D. C. Miller preached at the morning service. He took for his text, Duet. 11:14. Subject, "The first and latter rain." It was a simple, instructive and inspiring Gospel message. We had a good audience and everyone enjoyed the message. Our pastor fille dhis pulpit Sunday night. He finished his series on "Memories of the Past." This of all the series seemingly has been the most helpful. Rev. Knight is a pastor and a preacher of rare ability, kind, unassuming, resourceful, energetic, a leader and a lover of his people, are some of his characteristics that will keep him ever alive in the hearts of his congregation. He and his wife have endeared themselves in the hearts of the people of Quindaro. This is their third year at our church. Under their leadership the church is organized and are working as never before. Our membership has grown from 125 to 216. All educational and missionary moneys, with other conference claims, have increased and some tripled, and new life and connectional pride has been infused into the church and all its departments. Rev. A. C. Terrill, presiding elder of Kansas City district of the Nebraska conference, will hold his second quarterly meeting with our church next Sunday, February 26. He will preach in the morning and evening. The Rev. J. A. Broadnax will preach the sacramental sermon at 3 o'clock p. m. "Best Chili in town." Yes, we deliver, too, 50c a quart.

Old Indiana Marriage Records Reveal What Would Seem Like a Blighted Romance. Examination of old records, especially official records, reveal many humorous writings. On Page 211 of the first marriage record book in the office of the county clerk is one such. In that day, which was 1883, it was the custom for the clergyman or the justice of the peace or whoever performed the ceremony to come to the clerk's office and personally write into the records the fact that so and so had been married by him. On this page the following inscription appeared in ink: "Be it known that on the thirty-first day, of August, A. D., one thousand eight hundred and thirty-three, a marriage license issued to Jacob Hushaw and Nancy Ayres, both of Marion county and of lawful age." Beneath this, written apparently by the clerk, appeared the additional statement in pencil: "This lady declined the honor."—Indianapolis News. OBITUARY Mrs. Sophia P.

Well, you is talkin' er-bout us, ain't you thinkin' er-bout what you is talkin' bout? Ans. Yes, Ise thenkin' bout what Ise talkin' bout, but dat ain't nothin'. If we will take the time to think, a real question comes home to us all. "Are we really what we seem? Or perhaps it could be as well put, 'Are we really what we assume?' It will take more than one thought to answer—if we answer truly. If we will but use common sense and reason, and observe the law of cause and effect, we would learn a great deal. In such case we would observe and learn: What adepts we are at knowing that which we have never learned. Also in refusing to learn that which we do not know. How well and completely we know what should be done, and with what complacency and satisfaction we fail to do it. Of what a paucity of effort we will put forward, and what a multiplicity of return we expect. How readily each one of us recognizes worth and merit; in members of other races, but knows not more than one, of his own race, who is entitled to rank with such others. Of how we will observe others, pursue a fixed and definite course; while we pursue the very opposite—and then expect the very same results, or that which is its equivalent. At the monthly meeting in March of the Civic League, a campaign will be put on to reverse cur usual way of thinking. Further notice will be given of the date, and of the matters and thing to be discussed in that meeting. The last meeting was well attended and much interest shown. We hope this one will be as well attended, since there are new subjects which call for attention. Lo not forget the membership drive—each one bring another. UNCLE IKE.

"Have you ever noticed how long it takes the servants in the suburbs to answer the doorbells?" asked Trent. "Yes," admitted Kent. "And I heard a good story about it the other day." "Oh, what was that?" asked Trent. He knew he was "buying something," but he was willing, so he "bought." "Well," explained Kent, "it seems that some heartless mother wrapped her baby in a newspaper and placed it on the doorstep of a suburban residence. Then she touched the bell and disappeared."

"When you find something that meets your approval in a magazine or book do you read it aloud to Mrs. Peckton?" "Not always," said Mr. Peckton, "For instance, last night, I was reading an article in a magazine in which the writer stated that woman's place is in the home. I exclaimed 'That's good!' Mrs. Peckton wanted to know what was good. The result was I had to think rapidly and quote an old joke from memory." No Time to Waste. "Twas a dark and stormy evening. (They always are.)

She looked and told me to follow her to the chapel. Believe me when I tell you them young people looked fine. Miss Washington has dedicated her life to this work. She has been in the world about 60 years, yet she is young and active and has secured to assist in the world some of the best trained women in this country. There are women from all parts of the United States and from some of the best schools I met one graduate from Columbia, and one from way out in the state of Washington, and I will tell you about them in another letter. Back to Montgomery, down to Mobile, for a few hours, and all the time there was spent with Dr. H. Roger Williams, and other big men, and I went down with him to Emerson Institute, and met President Harding and his wife and others interested in the school. And now where do you find me? Right here in Live Oak. Located here in Live Oak is the Florida Memoriali college, at whose head is Prof. A. C. Curtwright, who comes from Georgia and who has made his place in the hearts of the people down here. Prof. Curtwright was born in Greensboro, Ga., and got his education, or at least his finishing touches at Moorehouse college, and you know they dish them up there in great style. There is where Prof. John Hope is. He worked some for his people in Georgia, as president of Walker Baptist Institute, Auugsta, Ga., then he served as dean in the Hungerford school, in this state, and about five or six years ago the Lord directed him to a field that needed a real man, and that was this Florida Memorial college. He found it a little way down at the heels, and he just rolled up his sleeves and went at it. Until today this institution is one of the best known, and one of the best in all the Southland, and it is because this young man has put his whole life into it. Prof. Curtwright came here with a companion, with a well trained woman by his side, for when he read in Job or Matthew or some of them other books of the Bible that "It is not good for man to be alone," he just on the heart and hand of Miss Beulah McDowell, of Augusta, Ga. She promised to go right by his side, and supply the missing link, and this she has done for the past seven years. Right now her husband is away in the interest of the school and she just takes hold and runs things like she herself was the president. She is a graduate from Atlanta University, but got her foundation at Haynes Institute, under Miss Lucy Laney. But she has not been still, but is still getting more information and education in her head. She has gotten in some real good work at Columbia University, and will soon take a degree from that great school. She is a master of English, and is teaching it here. I tell you it is interesting to come in touch with Mrs. Curtwright. She is doing a great big work here among the girls and then she knows some music—in facts she ranks with those trained. I have the pleasure of knowing her and then I met the other members of the faculty. There is Prof. Charles Rochelle, who comes from Indiana, and brought along with him his trained wife, who is also teaching. Then there is Miss Vallie Reese, from Graniteville, Ga., and who is a Fisk graduate, and I would mention Miss Lily J. Appling, of Carlton, Ga., and got her finishing touch at Spellman, and they have a man down here teaching agriculture from Tuskegee Institute, and his name is Prof. C. T. Evans, and there are others whose names I will not be able to mention this time, but will have to take up with you another time. Well, the Baptists of the United States, the National Baptist convention are going to do two big things this year. They are going to pull off a great Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. congress in New Orleans, La., in June, and then they are going to pull off the National Baptist convention in Los Angles, Cal., next September, and I want to get money enough to go to both of theses big meetings, and then I will be ripe for the grave. I am craynig to God to let me go to these meetings. There is to be in Chicago next August a big Allen Christian Endeavor meeting, and as soon as I can learn more about it I will tell you. Dr. S. S. Morris is getting his plans before him, and promises to let me know. You may write to me care Dr. H. K. Hill, Orlando, Florida. J. O. Midnight. Billy was quite displeased when the stork brought him a sister, for sisters are of no earlily use to 6-year-old boys. After Evelyn's arrival he crawled upon daddy's lap and whispered, "Say, dad, I'm going over and ask Glenn's dad if he won't trade us Glenn (his playmate) for sister. They've been wanting a girl, anyway." Seeing the look of assumed horror on dad's face, Billy, who always tries to get the best of a bargain, said, "Don't worry, dad, I'll make him give us a quarter to boot."

Arthur MacLaughlin of Detroit is responsible for this story sent me by my friend, Leo D. Brown, of, the Cosmopolitan Book corporation: "A Reno gent had, on a Saturday night, become very much absorbed in 'The Tale of Two Cities.' Particularly was he impressed with the description of the guillotine and the misfortunes upon whose necks it descended so devastatingly. The vision preyed upon his imagination. "Next day his wife insisted that he accompany her to church. He drowsed during an inordinately long prayer and dreamed that the guillotine was about to descend on his bent neck. Wife, upon resuming her seat when the prayer was over, noticed that her husband was asleep and still leaning forward, his head resting on his hands on the pew ahead. And so, with her fan, she tapped him lightly upon the back of the neck. Whereupon the gent fell dead." What a fearful lesson for wives!—W. O. T. in the Philadelphia Public Ledger. KNEW WHAT MADE THE DARK To Small Girl, the Shades of Night Were Matters of Quite Simpls Explanation. When the late John Bigelow, once minister to France, was calling at a friend's house, he was entertained while waiting for the home-coming of the older people by the small daughter. At last Mr. Bigelow said, "I don't think I will wait for them any longer, as you see it is getting dark." "Mr. Bigelow, what makes it get dark?" she inquired. "Ah," he answered, "I don't think I can explain it so that a little girl could understand it." "But I know why it is." "You do? Then you explain it to me?" "The blonde head nodded. "God shuts his eyes," she replied. DID SEEM LIKE A PROBLEM No Wonder Small Boy Was Disgusted When He Saw What His Chum's Gift Was. Mysterious things were happening around the house. An addition to the census report of Indianapolis was expected, but Little Sonny didn't understand. "You're going to be tickled to death with it." the father said. Little Sonny didn't understand at all, in fact he was so mystified that he told his little pal next door about it. "Whatever you get you've got to divide," the interested pal insisted. "When the baby finally came Little Sonny and his pal were ushered in for the first visit. "A fine chance you've got to divide that thing," the pal said disgustedly. —Indianapolis Star. Now Beat That! They were bragging, the two young things, as they sat on the stoop, and the Woman, always interested in seven-year-olds, stopped to listen. One boasted about her new doll, the other about her brother. One talked about "our mind" and the other talked about "our victoria." And so the conversation went on until they brought it to a fitting climax with: "At my school they have a kindergarten." "Oh, that's nothing. At my school they have two flag raising; one flag raising up, and one flag raising down." —Chicago Journal.

Next time you sit in a room, the furnishings of which include a bowl of goldfish, consider how much time you spend watching the small fish as they swim slowly about or dart about in pursuit of each other. Probably you will conclude you were indulging the usual tendency of the normal person to be attracted to moving objects. In sick persons and convalescents this tendency is more pronounced, and in the aged and very young it is still more so. That psychology of this attraction was given by Dr. Edward N. Leavy, formerly veterinarian to the animals in Central park zoo. He is now connected with a Fifth avenue pet store. "Slick persons lying in bed spend a great deal of time watching the goldfish if an aquarium is in their room," he said. "It takes their minds off their pains and aches and is very beneficial." Canaries share with goldfish the honor of being the chief animate entertainment to the slick.—New York Sun. GCOD IDEA IF IT WORKED Small Boy's Shrewd Scheme to Refresh His Memory Was Dependent on Certain Contingencies. The boy entered the hardware store almost out of breath and as he stood looking round in a puzzled way the shopman asked him what he wanted. "I don't know," replied the boy, as he scratched his head. "Well, then, I can't serve you," said the shopman. "You see," explained the boy, "when I was coming along I saw a dog fight and I got so excited that I can't remember whether my father sent me for a foot rule or mother wanted a packet of tintacks." "Then you will have to go back home and ask them," advised the shopman. "No, I'll not do that. I'll go out and see if I can find another dog fight, and perhaps, if I can find one, and get excited over it. I'll remember exactly what I wanted. You might have a foot rule and a packet of tacks on the counter handy so that as soon as I remember I can rush in and snatch up the right article. Father or mother will be getting very impatient." WAS WILLING TO HELP OUT Generous Offer of Financially Embarrassed Man to Almost Desperate Ticket Seller. Cecil de Mille, the movie producer, said in an after-dinner speech at Coronado Beach: "The movies have downed the old-fashioned theater almost completely. It used to be that you could fill a theater if you distributed complimentary tickets enough; but nowadays—" M. De Mille laughed heartily. "A new play was put on the other night at Atlantic City. "Just before the curtain went up a chap strolled into the theater lobby, awake the box office man and said: "This is the first night of a new play, aln't it?" "Yes, sir." And the box office man leaned forward eagerly, hoping to sell a ticket. "Well, say," croaked the chap. "I'm broke, boss; so I'm willing' to go in and he one of the audience for half a dollar." Smack That Child. A mother was reproving her little six-year-old girl for being naughty. "If you are so tiresome and disagreeable," she said, "you will not be loved, and when you grow up your friends will be few." The child replied at once: "I shall not want any friends, for I shall get married." "Oh, no," replied mother, "you will not get married, if you are disagreeable, for gentlemen are particular." After a short pause, the little girl remarked: "Well, mummy, I don't think daddy was particular." Best for Colds, Catarrh, Gripe, Bronchitis.
