KANSAS BENEFIT OF DOUGLASS HOSPITAL MUSICAL AND LITERARY PROGRAM FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1922 PROGRAM BY MRS. J. T. SIMPSON Dinner Served from 12 noon to 7 p. m. 25 cents Admission to Program 10 cents Vol. VIII BELIEVES BISHOPS SHOULD GO TO BENCH YOUNG Why Wait, Midnight Asks, Until a Man Has But a Few Years to Live—Florida is a Good Country for Race Education Palatka, Florida.—As I take my pen in hand to write to you this week, I am still basking in the Florida sunshine, and I have been made happy and I am still rejoicing in the fact that God still lives and is furnishing us this beautiful world. He made this world for us, and I am as happy as a Junebug in a blackberry patch, and you must rejoice with me. I have been going some of late, and I am happy because of it, and I am glad to report to you that I have somewhat improved, but far from being happy. In a letter from Mrs. Norene Davis, I am told that the judge has handed down his paper in the case of the Eastern Star, and I am going to wait and hear what it was before I have anything to say about it. I have been hitting around Jacksonville for a few days, and now I am away. I was in Jacksonville, and was called to Fernandina to make a few remarks, and was far from there, but I only said to Rev. R. A. Grant, and reminded him that my motto was never to disappoint, and while he was riding in his car attending to business, he simply told me to get in and soon he had me 40 miles away on time. Lo you know Rev. R. A. Grant? If not I wish you would get acquainted with him. He is one of the finest ministers in Florida, and is bound to be one of the bishops of his church. His place he has won by hard work and study. He has just worked his way up in education, and when he got through with that, then he worked his way up in the church. He is good bishop timber, and I am sure he will add tone and dignity to the bench which it has already. It is nice to promote the young men while they are young and can render their best service to the cause. This is better than waiting until thy are dead, and then elect them bishops to serve a few years and pass out. Speaking of a man serving a few years, I am reminded of Bishop M. M. Moore, who did not get to hold a conference, and my friend and brother, Bishop E. W. Lampton, lived two years after his elevation, and I am not saying anything about the others. I am talking about the church, because it is nearing time for election, and then in addition to this I am here attending conference. I have told you about Bishop John Hurst, and he has certain (Concluded on Fourth Page) rd B. Harrison, SAINTED FATHER LAID TO REST AFTER FOUR SCORE AND FIVE YEARS Father John Collins, one of Kansas City's old and highly respected citizens, passed away last Thursday at the home of his son, 1042 Freeman avenue. He had been in ill health for nearly a year. "The deceased had been a citizen of this city for many years and was known by thousands, one might say, who highly respected him and admired him for for his kindness and Christian character. He lived to the ripe old age of 85 years and had been active up to about a year ago. The funeral was held Sunday at 2 p. m., from the Metropolitan Baptist Temple, of which he had been a staunch member for many years. It was largely attended by old and young. Rev. H. L. Harrison, the pastor, delivered a fine and peaceful sermon to this sainted father. Rev. D. A., Holmes, his ex-pastor, assisted. The floral pieces were many and large. A number of resolutions were read from the church. Those left of the family are one daughter, Mrs. Lulu Winfrey, two sons, John Collins and James Collins, all living in this city. The bereaved family have the sympathy of a host of friends in their hour of sorrow. The Advocate wishes also to extend its sympathy to the bereaved family.

CHURCH NEWS The beautiful snow was found and still a fleecy precipitation was coming down when the slumberers arose Sunday morning from a night's repose of unconsciousness. But many were conscious of their absence from the Lord's house, at the morning service. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, delivered his third sermon of his special series of five sermons to be lelivered. The subject of his third sermon was, "Life in a Far Country," taking the life of the Prodigal Son as an example of what sin will do for man through disobedience to God. The reverend showed in a most concise and logical way of the many same kind of characters around and about us every day and while all have not started back home, there are some here and there each day coming to themselves and are on their way to their Father's home. It was a sermon of thought and those present wer emade to think seriously and honestly. The attendance was not so large at the Sabbath school on account of the blustery weather, but the interest was there just the same. The choir, under the supervision of Mr. Gatewood, rendered some excellent music. Miss Mabel Jackson is back in the choir and her sweet voice was very noticeable to the congregation. Miss Jackson has been greatly missed from the choir. Miss Gladys Claggett of this city and a student of Kansas University in fine arts, sang a beautiful solo at the opening of the service, which was greatly enjoyed. Miss Claggtt has a sweet musical voice. The Junior League rendered a fine program for the Senior League at 6:30 P.M. It was largely attended and enjoyed by all. The Annual Knife and Fork Banquet that comes off the 23rd of March, has all the symptoms of being the largest in the history of this great annual event. Th program within itself will draw strongly from every quarter. As to the speaker, some might take him as just a novelty or ordinary man, but he is a brilliant scholar, coming from one of the best universities of his country, besides we know the Japanese as a race, is superior in art and science to most every nation on the globe. Dr. Montoyama Fumio, the speaker, is well known in his country as one of their intellectual young men and is in this country taking some special studies and learning the customs and methods of this country. The subject of the fourth sermon of the series on next Sunday will be "Souls Returned." The general public is invited t obe present You will have to come early for choice seats. Argentine.

MISS EDNA HAYNES HAIR DRESSER If you want your hair to grow you must have a healthy scalp Treatments for Scalp and its diseases a specialty M. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Although the earth was covered with a beautiful carpet of snow, a large congregation assembled to worship God "in the beauty of holiness." Dr. Harrison delivered an appropriate sermon from John 21:2. His theme was, "A lift of seven disciples," and as he always does, he certainly preached and his lesson taught by the sermon was, "That we must welcome the penitent," when he comes back to the fold. Some also answered the request when they were invited to join the church. After the regular church collection, over $100 was given to take up a bond. At 2 p. m., Pastor Harrison preached his first funeral sermon, over Father John Collins. Although manv had read resolutions, and mad remarks; he was the only one who gave us, "thus saith the Lord." It was indeed a fine suitable funeral sermon. At 8 p. m. an appreciative audience heard our eloquent pastor. His sermon was a masterpiece and the whole world ought to have heard it. The text was from Prov. 9:14: "Fools make mock at sin." He said in part, "Sin is not a theory, but a stubborn tragic facts," and "it confronts us from the cradle to the grave." A new heart is the only way out of sin." It was received in a spiritual manner. He has more different powerful sermons to portray the Word of God, than any preacher in the community has heard. When the congregation sang "Lord I would come to Thee," he said, "That is what I call singing with the Spirit." The ordinary collection was over 158. Next Sunday, March 5. Dr. Harrison will preach and have covenant and the Lord's Supper. Hear this wonderful "Son of thunder." All are welcome—sinners especially. Come to Metropolitan church. Mrs. Hattie Miller is still sick, but some better. Mr. Richard Lowe is still sick. The choir, sang for Mrs. Frances Thompson and cheered her in hr sickness at home. Mr. Leonard Moore is able to be out again. NEIGHBORHOOD FLORAL The Neighborhood Floral Club held a very interesting meeting Saturday evening at the home of Mrs. Willie Ford, 344 Everett avenue. The feature of the evehing was an age rally, when more than $13.00 was realized. This club is doing some real helpful work in the community and hope to be able further along to be of greater service.

FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1922 WALNUT BOULEVARD BAPTIST CHURCH Have you attended the Walnut Boulevard Baptist church? If not you have missed something well worth while. The members of the church and the people of the community are beginning to take notice and seemingly have decided to put their shoulders to the wheel and make a real push. On last Sunday at 4:30 in the afternoon, despite the inclementy of the weather a goodly number were out and enjoyed a fine program. The meeting as usual was opened by the chaplain, Brother Levi Terrell, a young man and very efficient for the position he occupies and one whose supplication to God is fervently for the welfare of the meeting, it is no wonder that such good results are evident. The president, Mr. P. C. Swancy, exhorted the members to their duties in a pleasing tone, which was well couched in beautiful phrases. The program, which was prepared by Group No. 4, bore out the truth of the old saying "Good things come in small packages" for although on account of the failure of some of th participants to come out, the part rendered was very good and was highly commented upon by some of the visitors, chief among them was Rev. Roberts, who in a short talk commended the program and meeting in general. Rev. Richardson, the pastor, also gave a few encouraging remarks that were timely. On next Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Group No.1 will present a musical program and promises of some of the best talent in the middle west. Come out. The doors of Walnut Boulevard Baptist church always stand ajar. IN SOCIETY Dr. E. L. Harrison made a flying trip to Chicago and returned to preach sure Sunday at his church, Metropolitan. Mrs. L. A. Holmes of Kansas City, Mo., sang at Father Collins' funral at Metropolitan Sunday. Dr. D. A. Holmes made remarks. The Pastor's Aid of etroclitan gave a chitterling supper Wednesday night.

Her cousin, Miss Cornell, went and accompanied her home. The friends of Miss McCallop hope she may soon recover her health. Editor In all fairness, because of a piece published in the Kansan, under the caption, "Beggs Denies Books Will Delay Assessor." I desire to quote the section which required him to deliver to me not later than February 15, the tax roll complete, which is section 111268, General Statutes 1915. This section was pased in 1911 and has not been amended or repealed. Now, if all the readers of the daily paper knew Mr. Beggs, this statement would not be necessary, but as there are a great many who do not know him they might believe it. The public is entitled to the facts from all public officials. Mr. Beggs refers to nine books of the tax roll being delivered to the assessor. They were delivered as per statement, but not when the law required them to be delivered. The legislature that passed this law knew more about the assessor's work than does the county clerk, there being about one hundred thousand legal descriptions to write in the field books and turned over by the county assessor on March first, to his deputies. If Mr. Beggs knew anything about the law governing the county clerk's office, which he has be n drawing th esalary of for the past six years he would not have any controversy with me or any other county official who knows what the law required of them officially. I now admit having nine poll books and Monday. February 27, I will have a clerk on each book as near as possible. I am using all available space as well as clerks, but will not have more than half of the field books ready for deputies March first, because of the county clerk's violating the above statutes. Mr. Beggs refers to a "new law." Some one told him there is such a law and why should he spend his valuable time in looking it up, but if he had looked it up he would not have made that untruthful statement Again I say to you, if Mr. Beggs will deliver a complete set of plats to your office or mine tomorrow, I will donate $100 to the Children's Home and if he cannot deliver them he ought to donate $100 to the same institution. Come through, Mr. Beggs, you have been under cover long enough in your erroneous statements about me and my department. Mr. Begs, I didn't know as well as many others, that you know so little about your duties as the law required of a real efficient county clerk. I would say you knew there was not a word of truth in your statement. In conclusion, Mr. Beggs, I know you are on much closer terms with the county board than I am, and giving the devil his dues, the board has most always given what the statutes required them to furnish my department.

When he was assigned to the district, he just found the men with their hands about the throats of each other. There were two general factions, and they were divided until you hardly knew where to strike. All of them were pulling after Bishop Hurst, and he just closed his eyes and like that fellow who went somewhere to preach or to take charge of a church said to the people, "I am determined to know none save Jesus Christ and Him crucified," or something like that. He decided to do only his duty, and with this in view, he went to work. Of course those who could not get him on their side began to slash at him, and the men who were in for right and justice followed him, until soon Dr. John Dickson found that big star was in darkness, and the other leaders the same way, so they just fell in the bandwagon and began to pull together. Now I tell you there is not a district in the whole A. M. E. church that is doing any more for missions and education than the Florida district, and Bishop Hurst lives in the hearts of the people. Of course, here and there you will find a man who will strike at him, but he is going right on serving God. In this work he is accompanied by that remarkable woman, Mrs. K. Bertha Hurst, of Baltimore, the wife of her husband and a lover of the women of the district. She is just an embodiment of inspiration, and they all love to work with her. The women presented her with a healthy purse down here and it both not appear all it shall be. I shook the dust from Jacksonville off my little feet and broke righ on to this town. I stopped over night in St. Augustine, the city where you go and dip in a pool and remain young for ever. It was discovered by some old fellow who used too much of it and died. I am going back there, and I am going to tell you about the work being done by Prof. N. W. Collier at the Florida Industrial Institute. It will take me a little time to bring this to your attention. Reaching town, I went to the A. M. E. church; where I found Bishop Hurst holding conference, and soon I was assigned to a stopping place by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Simmons. He told me to go to the home of J.

BRETT, Manager 1224 516 Minnesota Ave. W Kansas City, Kans. deacon in the Baptist church. You know it was manners when we two old Baptists got together. Mr. Jenkins came into the world, when it was time for him to come, via Texas, and attended school, getting his finishing touch right here in Tallahassee at the state school. He then took up life. He found in an almanac or some other book where some fellow said it was not good for man to be alone, then he courted and married Miss Janie Lewis, of Palatka, a brilliant young woman, trained and prepared to assume the duties of wife and make him happy. They now have been fighting the battle for the past 22 years and they are not tired vct. They are as happy as larks, and are making the world happy with them. Believe me when I tell you that they are the biggest property owners in this town, and they don't have the big head about it. He is a deacon in the Baptist church while his wife is one of the mocking birds in the choir in Bethel A. M. E. church, and they are pulling together every ready to do their duty. Mrs. Jenkins is just one of those women who desire to see all about her happy. The unusual thing about this J. Madison Jenkins is a clerk in the largest store in town—not a lacky, but a real full fledged clerk, and he has many friends. He is active in all that you find in this place for racial uplift and building. He contributes not alone of his words, but is always ready to give financial help. Mrs. Josephine McGlauthlin, the mother of Mrs. Jnkins, is a widow, and has been sick for several years, but believe me, her daughter is attentive to her mother. She is devoted to her mother, for it is the only mother she has ever had and when she is gone it is impossible to get another. While Mrs. McGlauthlin is a widow, honey, put it down that I told you she is not a sufferer, for she can live for yrears off of her rents, and then have something for Mr. Hardtimes when he comes to see you. She is indeed a fine woman, and a love of Jesus. Things are getting in shape for the men who are going to be elevated. Dr. S. J. Johnson has many frinds in Florida, and he is going to make it to the episcopacy—that is to say he is going to be the next secretary of Church Extension, and you will find that R. A. Grant will be a bishop. Dr. S. S. Morris, is busy getting ready for that National Endeavor convention to be held in Chicago, Ill., next August, and there are other things I would just like to tell you, but time will not permit me to do so. The Baptists are getting --- their meetings all in order. The National B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress in New Orleans in June, and the National Baptist convention in Los Angeles next September. I want to be present at both of these meetings, and if you will just keep your eyes on me you will find me there. Look out for other letters, I am still going to be in Florida as I see it now.

ANTHONY, KANSAS Editor The Advocate: I came here from conference from Topeka and found my people with no place to worship at all; no organized band whatever, and no society at all. We have today a good York Lodge, Ladies' Court, our church has been organized with a membership of 25; Sunday school of 30; a building bought and paid for, through the heroic efforts of a few faithful women to begin with.

One can hardly keep from thinking they were in a large city. Mrs. Ida Myers, who came here from Louisiana, heads the list of the Stewardesses. Mrs. Emma Maddox, her daughter, leads the Sunday school and Ladies Aid society and is Most Ancient Matron. Mrs. Ada Carr is one of the Stewards and secretary of the church. Mrs. Birdie Thomas and her excellent husband, who is a section foreman, is worthy of mentioning. Mr. Chester White, his mother and sisters, own an excellent home. Mr. Tom Morris has the highest respect of the business men of the city. Mr. Carey Maddox is one of our unassuming, progressive young men, owning a great deal of property. Mr. Jeff Myers is an automobile mechanic and owns his home. Mr. Chas. Calloway, the only colored contractor in town, recently lost his mother. Accompanying him home were three of his sisters, one from Mounts Bayou, Miss; two from Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. C. C. Elliott, the bachelor of the city, who reads all the race news he can get, is worthy of mentioning.

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. "Sick 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 chiefanimate entertainment to the sick.—New York Sun. GOOD 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 stroiled into the theater lobby, awoke the box office man and said: 'This is the first night of a new play, ain't it?' 'Yes, sir.' And the box office man leaned forward eagerly, hoping to sell a ticket. 'Well, say, crouked the chan. 'I'm broke, boss; so I'm willin' to go in and be 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."
