E. church gave a fine reception for the Rt. Rev. Bishop Cleaves of St. Louis, who was here on perhaps his last official visit before conference. Although Jupiter Pluvius had rolled up heavy clouds and it was raining steadily, a nice crowd attended and the ladies were arrayed in some of the latest Paris creations. The following program was rendered: Music, the choir; welcome address, Mr. J. J. Lindsey; vocal solo, Mr. Fitchue; introduction of the speaker, Rev. H. L. Bolden; address, "My Trip to Europe," Bishop N. C. Cleaves; original poem, Mrs. M. C. Matthews; presentation of gold fountain pens, Mrs. M. Banks; remarks, Rev. T. A. Bowers, pastor; Mr. E. Posey, master of ceremonies. The bishop spoke very entertainingly. He praised Mrs. Matthews' poem, which she presented to him and the church. He said it was beautiful. He carried his audience in his travels and was given an ovation. The whole audience was served excellently in the church's large dining room to the best brick ice cream, fine cakes and finest punch in abundance. It was one of the finest receptions given in our city. Sumner Night school held its closing exercises Thursday, March 9, in the Kansas City High school auditorium. Over 1500 attended. The program was very good and enjoyed by all. The Sumner music class gave several selections and also the public speaking class was represented by Mrs. McGill who received a double encore. Argentine gave a chorus and a reading. Stowe school was represented with a chorus which was very harmonious. Rev. G. F. Ream made the principal address to the class and gave an instructive talk. M.

Dr. Montoyama Fumio of Tokio, Japan, is the speaker at the Annual Knife and Fork Banquet next Thursday night, March 23rd. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 Killed While Crossing Street a Block From Home—Was a Well Known Contractor On last Thursday evening, March 9, while Mr. H. M. Jackson, of 345 Armstrong avenue, was on his way home from the commencement exercises of the night school, which was held at the Kansas City, Kansas, High school building, he was run down by a Kansas City, Mo., motor truck, at Fourth street and Minnesota avenue; and instantly killed. It was about 11 o'clock and he was crossing the avenue at this point, being only a little more than one block from his home. The driver claimed the rain on the windshield prevented him from seeing his victim. The driver was a Mr. King, and is out on a $1000 bond for trial which will come up tonight for hearing at the City Hall. Mr. H.-M. Jackson was one of the best known men in the city and when the news reached his many friends that night and the next morning a sad and sorrowful gloom struck the hearts of his friends like a dagger. Mr. Jackson had lived in this city many years and had the respect and confidence of every one with whom he came in contact. He was known to be one of the best carpenter contractors of his race in the west and today many monuments to his skill and credit stand in the city and other places in this part of the country. Mr. Jackson was known particularly for his honesty with his fellow man and was never out of work along his line and gave work practically the year around to a number of mechanics. He made it his motto to give a little better job than his contract called for and often saved men and organizations hundreds of dollars on contracts. Mr. Jackson was 67 years old and was a widower, his wife preceding him one year and nine months ago. He leaves a lovable daughter, Miss Gertrude Jackson, who seldom saw them separated on occasions of this night or church, and one son, Mr. Fred Jackson, who is married and lives in Omaha, Nebraska, and is a prosperous citizen of that place. The funeral was held Monday at 2 p. m., from the First A. M. E. church, of which he had long been a staunch and loyal member. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, his bosom friend, being physically weak from the grip, Rev. J. Felix Isaacs, of Allen Chapel, officiated. Rev. Griffin delivered a short eluogy of great praise on the life and character of this noble man. Although it was a very rainy afternoon, more than eight hundred were present to pay their last respects to a real man. Eureka Lodge No. 2 of the "Busy Bees' Independent Order, Brothers and Sisters of Consolation, had charge of the remains. The Royal House of the U. B. F.'s also turned out of which the deceased was a member. A number of resolutions were read by the church and THE FIRST EDITION OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR DR.

The floral offerings were large and beautiful, the entire front of the rostrum being banked with many designs. Mr. Jackson will be greatly missed in our community, in citizenship and usefulness.

Number 31 They Came Out of the State to Die — But Bishop Hurst Soon Changed Things Fort Myers, Fla. — One by one we come into the world, and one by one we go out. I just told you last week about the death of Daniel A. Murphy, of the Afro-American, and one of the bright young men of our race. He was just in the prime of life, just getting to the place where he could make the world know that he was in it, when the death angel came to him down here in Florida, and said, "Dan, I came after you," and he had but to fold his arms and go right on to be with his mother and his sister who had gone before him. Now this week, I am called upon to bow and say to the world that the only man in his class has gone from us now, and that is Bert Williams, the great comedian, the great actor, the man whose life was spent in making people laugh. I am told that he passed away through the gate of pneumonia, yet I am not prepared to say, but I must say to his widow, "Dear Lottie, you have lost a loving and kind husband." "God gave him to you and God hath taken him away. He lived well yesterday, and now today has claimed him. Your many friends extend you sympathy. Some day you will join him, just when I do, not know, and you do not know, and I hope that you are fully prepared, so that when thy summons come you 'wil! be ready.'" Some of my friends have been trying to get me to try to make a world, but if I should make one, I would have no place to put it, for the one which has already been created occupies all the space there is, and I am of the opinion that I could not make space. Then, I am getting too old to think of making something out of nothing, hence I must just knock along and see what I can see and how I can see it, and when I am through with it all then turn my attention to Heaven where I am bound to go some day. I am going to be with my friends who have gone on ahead of me. I have been going some, and doing some few things since I have been down here, and yet I do not know it all. After my next letter then I will be turning my attention to Tuskegee Institute, and be with all those who will be there to unveil that monument erected in honor of Booker T. Washington, the man who is living in the hearts of the people and is as much talked about now as he was when he walked this earth. It is because of the (Concluded on Fourth Page) --- Entered as second-class matter August 29, 1914, at the postoffice at Kansas City, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. It is said by Mr. Bird, the County Assessor, that all of the colored deputies and land appraisers, numbering about 35 are giving splendid satisfaction. Kansas City, Missourians, of race honesty and race consciousness are fighting, as never before, to elect one of their group as councilman. Mr. T. B. Watkins, one of the leading undertakers on the Missouri side. The old Eighth ward is the fighting ground and from what we can hear all Kansas Citians, regardless of location ward or politics, are interested in this manly and square deal fight. The Advocate wishes the end to be a successful one, and if we can be of any service, in any way to the cause, just phone us. N. A. A. C. P. Kansas City, Kansas, Branch Assists Headquarters At this time you know the most important measure before Congress, so far as the Negro is concerned is the Dyer bill, the bill to make lynching a federal crime. Having been called upon from headquarters to help reimburse the deplated treasury an opportunity was given in a time of great need to do a really constrictive piece of work. The secretary of the branch was asked to raise at least $100. Now this was not an easy task. But with a determination and the assistance of the church members and friends of the branch, the entire amount was collected and sent in. It takes money to win any battle. The Dyer bill represents more than 10 years of work on the part of our association, the suppression of lynching. More than $35,000 has been spent in securing and correlating facts and giving publicity to the same. But victory is not yet! Now that bill has been pushed through the House of Representatives. The next step is to bring pressure friendly, yet firm, upon the senators, letting them know that they cannot escape blame unless they do everything in their power to pass the bill. The situation is serious. Act now. The local branch wants to thank all those who so liberally gave to the $100.

CHURCH NEWS Sunday was a beautiful Lord's day, and a great outpouring of church communicants found their way to the church of their choice. The Sabbath school opened at 9:30 with an extra large attendance with its superintendent, Dean Jones, at the helm. There is nearly four hundred enrolled and new scholars being reported most every Sunday. The teaches are making great preparations for an unusual large program for Easter Sunday. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, who was confined to his room on account of illness, was greatly missed by his class and in the Sabbath school room. Sunday was quarterly meeting and while the presiding elder was here his physical condition was such that he was not able to preach at the 11 o'clock service and Dean Jones, the assistant pastor, filled the pulpit to the satisfaction of the large assembly. Dean Jones is a logical speaker and always gives his hearers splendid food for thought. The congregation regretted very much the beloved pastor was so incapacitated as not to be able to be present on this occasion, of which he always enjoys. The prayers and sympathy of the members and his friends went out for him as one. We are glad to report his condition is much improved at this time and he expects to fill his pulpit Sunday morning, to the delight of all. The communion sermon was delivered at 3 p. m. by Rev. T. D. Scott, pastor of our church in Leavenworth, Kansas. Dr. Scott is a brilliant scholar and a Gospel preacher and his sermon was greatly enjoyed by those present. The presiding elder found himself no better at the evening service and left for his home in Atchison at 8:41. Dean Jones preaching. Quarterly conference was held Monday night by Rev. M. C. Knight, pastor of Allen Chapel, Quindaro, and he took care of the work in excellent style. Rev. Knight makes a splendid presiding officer and has the ability to take care of most any department in his church. Love feast was well attended Friday night, the presiding elder having charge. Although the church's leader was not present from Friday night until Monday morning, the reports to the quarterly conference were very good. Next Thursday night March 23rd, the big annual Knife and Fork banquet will take place, which without a doubt will surpass all others of previous years. The Japanese speaker, Dr. Montoyama Fumio, of Tokio, Japan, a scholarly and cultured gentleman of his country. A high class program will be rendered by Western University music department, including some selections by the famous Alabama quartet. If you haven't your ticket now, you had better secure it by Monday. Come out Sunday and enjoy the last sermon of the series by the pastor, whose sermons have so wonderfully lifted up humanity and the souls of many have been redeemed through them. A welcome is always extended to every people, both saint and sinner. The subject of Dr. Griffin's last sermon of the series on next Sunday, March 19, will be "The Welcome Home." AN APPRECIATION I wish through the columns of The Advocate to thank and THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS show my appreciation to the officers members and friends for their support and loyalty to the church during my illness; also, I feel thankful to members and friends who were in sympathy with me during my incapacitation. I hope to see you Sunday in your places, as it will be the Fifth and last sermon of my series. Yours in His name. J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor First A.M.E. Church. Argentine, Kansas St. Paul A. M.

T.'s, Mrs. Cora Dameron, matron, entertained one day last week, at the Knights of Tabor hall, the Grand Mother Matron. Mrs. Eliza Lyles, in most royal manner. These little folks with vim and vigor, made all arrangements for the affair and no greater surprise was ever made and enjoyed so much on their beloved Grand Mother Matron, who in a solendid talk to her lovable little family, showed how much she appreciated the event and the interest she had in them. It was joyous after noon, in saying the least and closed with a fine dainty luncheon, which was also enjoyed. The Grand Princess was present, which added much to the occasion. CIVIC LEAGUE MEETING The Civic League held its regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening, the 14th, at its rooms' and was blessed with a fair to good attendance. The matter of our public schools and the expenditure of the portion of the bonds set aside for us, was considered. And the committee through its chairman. Dr. S. H. Thompson, reported as having visited the board of education and explained our position as to location and expenditure in the matter concerning our high schools. And suggested that the committee stand as it is composed, and continue its efforts. Several other matters of a civic nature were discussed, among them our proportion of employment in the departments of the city. The concensus of opinion was to the effect that we are not reaping the rewards in a civic and political way to which we are justly entitled. The League then proceeded to do honor to the memory of Col. Charles Young as a citizen, soldier and Christian, gentleman. Appropriate remarks along these lines were ably presented which were truly instructive and inspiring. And a statement covering the same was ordered to be presented to the Kansan for publication.

The pastor reviewed the leson. which was nteresting to all. So many beautiful thoughts were brought out in the leson by ‘the pastor. Mr. J. C. Cleggett, one of our good deacons, made a good talk, and expressing how well hé enjoyed the pastor's re- view, and felt that the Mt. Olive Baptist church made no mis- take in calling such a man as Rev. Lewis from out of the field of the National Baptist convention as our pastor.

Franklin Bray, the great soul-winner has paused ir his trave's over the country tc bles si nbounteous measure the quiet, picturesque little city ot Clarksville, in Tennessee. Night after night the great crowds gather, as the doors swing wide, the welcoming call of Old St. Peter A. M. E. church, situated on Franklin street, near the heart of the city. Rev. Edw. J. McCoo is pastor. All spellbound, they sat, drinking from the fresh flowing fountain the source of which springs from the very Throne of Jehovah—as it were —for indecd is Dr. Bray a pow- erfy] “Man of God,” sent by God, to save the lost, to win men’s souls to Christ. Like unto the Holy Trinity— Father, Son and Holy Ghosi— have come this evangelist and ‘the two co-workers in person, of Mrs, Franklin Bray, his wife, and “Miss Fayette Bowen, solo- ist and “sunbeam” of the hazpy band. Too much cannot be said of Mrs. Bray, that precous wom- an. God-given companion, not merely in a generally coneaded term of true and perfect hap- piness or conjugal felicity, but in a broader, nobler sense. She is a labor-sharer, burden bearer heat and soul rejuvinator. ‘This and more she is to her husband in his work; to each and every one of the many, many lives that touched hers filled with sunshine, hope and beauty, she sheds as she travels in the in- terest of Christ and humanity. Of a truth their hearts do burn within them as they-talk avith her by the way, Many a darkened threshold has been strewn with the light of joy, thanksgiving and salvation. be- cause of her timely entrance into the sick room; because of her fervant prayers for that patient and that home, has as- cended into Heaven and laid hold upon the bosom of a Risen Savior. ’ Never has a singer proved herself more harmoniously at- tuned with the harps of the an- gelic choi of Heaven itself than has Miss Bowen in her rendition of those Gospel songs | that stir both soul and nd into a new lasting sense of spir- itual activity. A mighty work is being ac- complished in and about Clarks- ville, Long will live in the minds and hearts of its citizens | the memory of these swiftlv| passing days of “Real Revival of Glorious Victory.” In ihe generations yet unborn, will be seen the harvesting of seed eradually mould and shape the lives from which is born the future race and people.

But he said mere intellect is a poor Weapon, as, possessing the Holy Spirit and God's love is the greates tweapon. It was a fine sermon as usual and it was received with many of the Christiasn __ rejoicing. Dr. Franklin of Florida made a few remarks. Some joined the church and some asked for prayers. $20 was given to Deacon Taylor, who has had an operation. After devotions a short business conference was held, and the members voted 1o have Rev. Alva Royston as our assistant pastor, to dispose of the dear old frame church, and to assist the Sunday school and B, Y. P. U. in purchasing a yi- ano. At 8 p.m. Dr. Harrison preached to another large zon- gregation from Rev. XXI-8. Theme, “For the wages of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life.” Every sermon is a different sermon, which teaches a Christian lesson and all of his sermons are received with shouting and thanks. The collection was over $103. Next Sundav, March 19, Dr. Harrison will begin a great re- vival. His members prayed si- lently every day last week and this week, they are preaching sermons to someone they mect each day, so that the Holy Ghost will come like it did on| the day of Pentacost.

It is the time the trustees will meet and then I think the celebration of Founders' Day, and many other things. You should get in line and be with the others if you can. Here I am away down in Florida, and I am down in the state, believe me. I am just here to the stepping off place, and if you go beyond this you will have to ride on a boat or walk on the water, for there is no more going. I am down here attending the session of the Central Florida conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church preside dover by Bishop John Hurst, D.D., of Baltimore, Md., who is indeed a wonderful character,- and who has made his way to the hearts of the people. These people down here would just have him abide down here all the time, and because of the service he has rendered, I am proud that they think so much of him. You will recall that Florida was at one time considered the graveyard for a bishop, for you will recall that Bishop Tanner served down here and when they were through with him, he was ready to retire. Then followed Bishop M. B. Salter, and believe me that when Florida turned him loose he was ready for the grave, and to his grave he went, and I heard Dr. Gordon say that in 1912, there came a man from Baltimore, whose name was John, and the general conference in Baltimore crowned him Bishop, and assigned him to Florida, and that when he struck the state, it was divided into many factions and they just had their hands in the throats of each other. When Bishop Hurst came, all eyes were turned on him, and each faction thought that the bishop would be on their side, but that little man announced that he was bishop of all, and all would be treated alike by him.

One of the bosses tried his faith, but he found that he had found a real man, and one who knew no fear. Then they threw at him a few dollars, but at them he closed his eyes and would not bite. Nothing but law he would see, and the fellow who got crosswise of the law found himself in trouble. After while the boss decided to get in the band wagon and ride along. With this Bishop Hurst restored peace. Edward Waters college was suffering. It was almost a thing of fun, but honey, this little man paid off the heavy debt, erected a building, established credit and the school has been going up ever since. Here and there some fellow who could not pull the bishcp around by the nose has tried to strike in another way, but failed, utterly failed, for he is a man among men. He knows all the tricks, and at the same time he is a polished educated man. He is at the head of affairs. The men down here declare that they are going to Louisville, Kentucky, and bring him right back. He succeeded in getting Dr. John A. Gregg, as president of Edward Waters college and Dr. Gregg was called to Wilberforce University last year, and now they have down here, a noted school man as president, Prof. John C. Wright, and he is just by the side of his bishop bringing things to pass, and it is only a question of a year or so, when Edward Waters will take its place by side of Howard, Fisk, Lincoln and all those other big schools. I am proud of Bishop Hurst. This state has produced some men, and I will place by any of them the Rev. R. A. Grant, of Jacksonville, a refined, cultured educated minister, and who will take his place among the great men of his church. Florida is going to get behind him—yes, it is behind him right now and will land him in the episcopacy. He is one of the men who will go to the front. He was just born to lead men, and I am going to tell you many things THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS about him. WALNUT BOULEVARD Fort Myers is full of interesting things. The Rev. Robert H. Pittman is pastor of the St. John Baptist church, and he is one more preacher. They have a large following and he is just a little king down here in this neck of the woods. For a long time he was president of the state convention, and retired of his own accord. He is doing some business down here. He has just contracted for $75,000 worth of land down here, in Florida, just about fifty miles from here, and just ten miles from Moore Haven. This is going to be some big town, and I will tell you about it in another letter. Get ready for Tuskegee, and then the National Baptist Sunday School Congress in New Orleans, and don't forget that you are expected to take the 'rip to Los Angeles, Cal., next September. The National Baptist convention is going to meet out there, and this will be the trip of your life. Will you come along with us? I will have to bring this letter to a stop, but will have more to say later. You may commence to send mail for me to Tuskegee Institute. The funeral of Mrs. Lucinda Patterson, wife of Samuel Patterson, was held here at Fremont. She leaves a husband, three children and five brothers to mourn her loss. A most eloquent sermon was preached by Rev. J. W. Stapleton, who paid a fine tribute to her Christian life. Burial was at Ridge cemetery. We are looking forward with much pleasure to our next quarterly meeting to be held here this Wednesday. Our prayer meetings are becoming quite well attended.

FRED JACKSON HELD UP; GET $4000 IN DIAMONDS Mr. Fred Jackson, of Omaha, who buried his father, H. M. Jackson, Monday, was held up Tuesday night at his old home, 325 Armstrong avenue, of $4000 in diamonds. There were four white men in the job two of them entering the house and the other two guarding the front and rear doors. They asked Mrs. Jackson, his wife, for hers and she refused to turn them over, when the bandits knocked her down and when she screamed, they left swiftly and entered an automobile, which was thought a fifth man was at the wheel. It is said Mrs. Jackson carried $15000 in jewels. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson were entertaining some friends and soon would have been on their way to the union depot to take a train for home.

J. O. MIDNIGHT. FREMONT, NEB. The Junior church is one of the greatest assets any church could strive to acquire. It is an asset in that it is good security. Security that can be exchanged in the best markets for the best goods. The teaching of the Bible being instilled into the idle mind of a child and causes its mind to devote from the little low things to the highest ideals and succ ideals and we could wish them to acquire. The morning services were well attended. The soothing balm poured over the earth brought a beautiful spring morning, the call of nature was heard and felt by the community and as the result our pews were well filled. The sermon was very timely and surely suited for the occasion. His subject and text was "No two can work together unless they be agreed." The discourse was a very able one and was greatly enjoyed by the congregation. The Sunday school is always inspiring and beneficial to those who submit themselves to be allowed to follow their better nature and say it in the Sunday school. The lesosn was a beautiful one portraying the effects of strong drink or overeating upon a man. It explained the point that overeating as well as excessive drinking of strong drinks is intemperate. The real thought of this beautiful lesson portrayed was while under the influence of strong drink with a full stomach, an individual is not himself. In this state he will stray from the teachings of his youth, forget the blessing God has bestowed on him, and the companionship of God and turn toward the wickcdness of the world. The community meeting, on account of the memorial exercises held in honor of the late Colonel Charles Young, our own military genius, historian, man and race man, did not meet last Sunday. We felt that a man with the accomplishments to his credit as our own Charles Young should not be allowed to pass from the stage of action unnoticed.
