A NIGHT OF COLLEGE LIFE "DO MEN GOSSIP?" COMEDY PRESENTED BY EPSILON (Kansas University Chapter) ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY GEORGE HAMILTON, DRAMATIC READER ALEX GATEWOOD, TENOR UPSILON ORCHESTRA, Neal Herriford, Director HELD UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE GO-TO-SCHOOL, GO-TO-COLLEGE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE OF THE ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY AT LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL APRIL 15, 1922 — 8:30 P.M. Admission, Adults 25c; Children 15c Vol. VIII Doctor Fumio of Tokio Gave an Interesting Talk — There Were Eatables Galore and Everyone Was Satisfied. The Eighth Annual Knife and Fork banquet, at First A. M. E. church, which took place last Thursday night, March 23, was no less from a standpoint of number, in attendance, or its elaboration in program and the banquet served. At 6 o'clock people were gathered around the doors, awaiting their opening, and at 7:30 the two auditoriums were filled to their capacity. Promptly at 8 o'clock, the speaker, Dr. Fumio of Tokio, Japan, was escorted to the rostrum by Attorney Dorsey Green, J. H. Clayborne, Professors Shelton French and J. P. King, where the master of ceremonies, Dr. W. H. Dyer, received the honorable gentleman from the Orient. Others on the rostrum were Dr. Brathwaite, Rev. S. Rhone, Rev. J. C. C. Owens and Rev. J. S. Payne. The Senior Choir of the church opened the large affair by singing a beautiful anthem, "The Nation's Awakening." Invocation was offered by Rev. Rhone. Orchestra number, "Princess of India," Western University; solo, Mr. Jackson Truitt, of Western University. The orchestra then favored the audience with a selection, then came the noted singers, Alabama Quartet. The next number was a violin solo by Mr. Elijah Townsend of Sumner High school. The master of ceremonies then arose and in his polished way, with words of thought and beauty, introduced Dr. Brathwaite, who in turn in splendid tone and fitting language, intruded the speaker of the evening, who received an American applause. For about forty minutes the doctor entertained his twelve hundred listeners on the subject of "Corporate Power." He brought his hearers down through the ages and pointed out in a concise way, how and why some nations and races were so much stronger than others. Corporate power or a co-operation of powers is the fundamental principal, said the speaker. Dr. Fumio also showed in his speech that he understood in some respects the weakness of the race he was addressing. The address as a whole, was of great worth to his audience and the speaker had not gone far into his subject before his attentive listeners grasped his remarks. At 9:30 the guests of the evening, with their friends, started to the banquet tables in the dining room below, where SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 two hundred at a time were served and at just 11:30 every body had been served and on their way rejoicing. Mrs. Richardson, one of the best caterresses in the two cities, was in charge and managed the entire menu. It was one of the finest and best carried out of any banquet ever held of its kind in this church. Mrs. Richardson and her host of workers from the church, both men, women and young people, worked in such a way that it looked like it was restful to them. Some system, that's all. The decorations were carried out up stairs and down stairs in Japanese colors, the decorating being done by two Japanese decorators from the other side. White and red were their colors, with Japanese lanterns and parasols, with a large Japanese parasol of large dimensions just back of the speaker in the choir loft. The souvenirs used were little kewpie dolls, with chiffon ribbon attached, which were pinned on each guest at the dining table by young ladies. The printed program was one of beauty and artistic workmanship, carrying the picture of the church on the front cover, third page cut of of the pastor and the following page a cut of the speaker, the other ten pages carry ads of the various auxiliaries of the church and a goodly number of our own professional and business enterprises. The Gray printing company. 1418 North Fifth street. were the artists. Notes of the Banquet Mr. W. A. Jarrett, the manager of the entire affair, received many congratulations, in the management and success of the Eighth Annual Knife and Fork banquet. Dr. Griffin was all smiles during the evening and was as busy entertaining the guests, as any half dozen. The reception committee of ladies were handsomely gowned and presented a real picture. The ushers of young girls and young men, under the supervision of Mr. Clay, were extremely courteous and polite. Western University orchestra entertained the guests, with excellent music for those who remained up stairs awaiting their turn to go down to the dining room. Dr. Dyer made a fine master of ceremonies and was right at home. Who will be manager of the Ninth Annual Knife and Fork banquet?

Miss Olive Henderson entertained Alpha Art Club recently in a royal manner. REV. B. F. ("BEN") WATSON Through all the land a wondrous voice The songs of Israel sung As from the vaulted heavens above Caught up and backward flung. Of wondrous range—now Scotti's. score In liquid overtone; At will a grand sonorous bass Pealed forth to claim its own. His mellow tones wrought such appeal That Israel seemed nigh And angel choirs seemed chiming in Through all the radiant sky. And as it was in Hamelin town Folk followed in his wake, And faithfully, to perfect peace, He led, for Jesus' sake. The earth receded, 'neath your feet And to the topmost rung Of Jacob's ladder swift you'd mount Whene'er "Ben" Watson sung. —TILFORD DAVIS, JR. WM. TRAMMEL DIES SUDDENLY—WAS A PROMINENT CITIZEN Early Thursday morning the very sad news went out through the city of the death of Mr. William Trammel, 1029 New Jersey avenue. The family said when he retired at his usual hour, he was as well as usual and made no complaint of even a pain. Mrs. Trammel said she awoke about 4 o'clock and found her husband breathing heavily, but as he was subject to slight attacks of asthma, she thought at first this was the cause, but when she tried to awaken him he could not be aroused and she lifted him up and before a physician could arrive, he had passed away. Mr. Trammel was one among the best citizens in Kansas City and had friends everywhere. He loved his home and family and leaves a devoted wife and two daughters, Maud Ella and Faye. As we go to press no arrangements were made for the funeral. The deceased was quite a fraternal man and at the time of his death, held important positions in a number of fraternal organizations in the city. The family have the sincere sympathy of a host of friends, in their hour of sorrow. BONNER SPRINGS, KAN. I wish to add this stimulating sentiment as well as a report for the cause of York Rite Masonry, even though it is late in making its advent into the columns of your paper. On Saturday night, March 18, in Honner Springs, Kansas, we initiated six candidates into the mysteries of Masonry under the auspices of Grandview Lodge No. 75, F. & A. A. Y. Masons. A royal feast was experienced and all present enjoyed a treat. Our distinguished Worthy Deputy Grand Master, Brother J. Franklin Wilson and Brother Ewing and others of different lodges of Kansas City, Kans., were present and helped to duly initiate the candidates to the Master's degree. We consider Grandview Lodge has made quite a record, having grown from a membership of nine one year ago to 26 within a year. We are striving for the mastery in the cause of York Rite Masonry and heartily cheer the great achievements in this work the past year. Hoping a continued success for the craft we unite with the efforts made in this behalf. Yours for the Craft, Grandview oLdge No. 76, by W. E. Steward, Box 375. Mrs. Coupland, mother of Mrs. E. L. Harrison, has joined Metropolitan church, while here from Texas. CITY THREE HOMES OF COLORED DESTROYED BY FIRE—$4375 LOSS Wednesday morning at 2:08 o'clock the Central fire station apparatus was called to 356 Garfield avenue, by V. C. Coffey, who said his house was on fire. When the department arrived they found four houses on fire, 354, 356, 358 and 360 Garfield avenue, all in flames, Jaseph Fee, chauffeur for Chief McNarrey, tried to 'call headquarters for more help. For fifteen minutes neither he nor other firemen whom he stationed at all the phones in the neighborhood could arouse the operators, they said. Seventeen minutes after Fee reached the scene of the fires he ran to the street car barns at Fifth street and Virginia avenue, and by calling through the car barn switchboard to Kansas City, Mo., succeeded in ringing fire headquarters, where the call was relayed to the Kansas City headquarters. Contents in the Coffee house were destroyed; damage to the house was about $1,200; J. W. Downing home, 354 Garfield avenue, $500, contents, $400; damage to the A. Mansfield home, 358 Garfield avenue, $1,000, contents $600. The home of W. C. Singleton, 360 Garfield avenue, was damaged slightly. W. W. Yager, manager of the Bell Telephone company, has started an investigation Four operators should have been available for calls from that district, Yager said. These families, who are well known to many in the city and are splendid, hard-working citizens, have the sincere sympathy of the general comunity in their losses. The Advocate extends to these unfortunate families its special regrets and sympathy and if we can be of any service to you in any way, call Fairfax 2663.

TO START DRIVE MONDAY NIGHT Congressman Dyer to Be the Principal Speaker The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will open its membership campaign next Monday night at First A. M. E. church, corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue. The principal speaker will be the Hon. L. C. Dyer of St. Louis and the father of the "Anti-Lynching Bill." Congressman Dyer, as many know and all who are interested in the N. A. A. C. P., has been a tireless worker in the passage of this noted bill. Prof. J. P. King, president of the local Association and Principal J. A. Hodge, the major general of the membership drive, speak with authority when they say on next Monday night standing room will be at a premium to hear this, the second Abraham Lincoln. The ministers of all the churches will talk about the work of this constructive organization and urge upon their congregations as men and women, to lend every support, in service and means, to forward the cause of this great humanitarian, uplifting, life-saving organization. No colored man or woman should stay away from this meeting. Mr. Dyer is coming direct from Washington and will have many good things to tell us and the strenuous fight he went through, to get his "Anti-Lynching Bill" through. AlphaArt Club meets with Mrs. W. Dwiggins today at 852 Oakland avenue. K. OF P.S. ATTEND SERMON ON MISSOURI SIDE LAST SUNDAY A large number of Knights of Pythias, Midwest Company No. 2, Stringer Company No. 11 and Troop A led by the K. P. First Regiment band, with Brigadier General Kennedy and his staff, attended the Annual Thaksgiving sermon last Sunday on the Missouri side. It being a beautiful day an immense crowd of Pythians and Sisters Calantheans were out. The attendance being so large, two services were held at the same time and hour, one being held at the Second Baptist church, Charlotte street and sermon by Rev. D. A. Holmes and the other at Allen Chapel, across the street, by Rev. B. G. Dawson. Both of these two largest churches in the city were packed. Three bands led the parade, which was more than a mile long. Kansas Uniform companies and their band went in special cars. Number 33 FINDS SOME CONTROVERSY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA There Are Some, it is Apparent, Who Subserve Personal Interests to Church Advancement-But Not All. Lakeland, Fla.—Is it cold where you are? I wish you could just step down here in Florida, and see how these people are enjoying the sunshine and the hot weather. I don't blame them from coming here where it is just summer all the time and there is another place where it is summer all the time but I am not going to talk about it this time, for I have so many other things to tell you about, that I must not write and talk about things related to Hades. I was in paradise when I wrote to you last week, known as Arcadia, and now you see where I am. But you will believe me when I tell you that the pastor of the A. M. E. church, the Rev. E. J. W. Day, in Arcadia, is having a heluva time, and they are asking for his scalp, and just what the outcome will be I am not prepared to say now. The church fights are just particular h—l, and you must not tell anybody that I said it, but they are just the same. This good elder is just having his hell right here on earth, and when he gets up there he may just shout all over Heaven, and knock down a few angels as he flips and flops from side to side. When you are pastor of a church, when a people love you, they just love all over you, and when they hate you—then you and the devil may occupy the same place in their hearts, and both of you will receive the same treatment. The Rev. Dr. Day is just some educated man, the most educated minister in Florida. He says that he is a graduate from Gammon, and I believe it, but there is not a man in Florida with so much learning. The members declare that he thinks more of a dollar than of his Jesus, and he would take chances on going way down yonder chasing a dollar. Whether this is true or not I am not prepared to say, and I am not going to say. It is none of your business what I think of it. At any rate, a committee went to Bishop Hurst and asked for another preacher, (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. COL. LITTLE DEFFENDED THE DYER BILL We have in this column a few extracts taken from the speech of our congressman and fellow townsman, Col. Edward C. Little, who defended the "Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill" in one of the strongest constitutional arguments that has been made on the floor. It is said by those who heard the speech of this fearless, fighting congressman of Kansas that he seemed to have his whole soul and heart in the passage of this bill, of which, after a hard, long, drawn out fight, right prevailed and its passage was victorious. Those who know Col. Little best, know him to be a fighter from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet and especially when it comes to the justice of humanity. It would be our delight to publish the entire speech of our friend congressman, but space will not permit our wishes. "Perhaps the clearest enunciation of the views of those opposing the anti-lynching bill is expressed by the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Hersey) in his speech of January 10, where he says: "The Last Vestige of Their Rights Gone." "Section 4 removes the last vestige of the rights of the citizens of the several states. It provides that a person who participates in any mob or riotous assemblage by which a person is put to death shall be guilty of a felony and on conviction thereof may be imprisoned for life." The gentleman from Maine says that if they cannot burn somebody alive they will not have a right left. "The gentleman thus says that section 4 provides that any one who participates in a mob by which a person is put to death on conviction may be imprisoned for life, and that this 'removes the last vestige of the rights of the citizens of the several states.' Congress merely seeks to enforce the law of Maine and adds nothing to its punishment of the men in the gentleman's district who commit murder at a lynching bee. The gentleman from Maine thinks that when a state can not allow its citizens to burn each other alive without trial it has 'lost the last vestige of its rights.' He states the view of his side more clearly and brutally than anyone else would or could. "You will think that this is a misprint. But he used it in both his speeches. The poor gentleman fondly thinks it is a literary and legal gem and will ring down the ages. It will if I can-help ring it." The Constitution means what it says, and Ex Parte Virginia means what it says, and the Siebold-case means what it says, and the law is not a joke in this Republic, and the Constitution is not a fake in this mighty Nation, and every man in every State is entitled to a protection equal to that given every other man in that State and if God reigns, and the government at Washington still lives, the Republic of Abraham Lincoln is about to see that ev- THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A.

"The gentleman from South Carolina does not believe that Congress has power to have the sheriff arrested and punished, but let us hope that with his logical mind he does realize that as a matter of course, if Congress has a right to bring the sheriff into the Federal courts the United States marshal will bring with him every member of the murderous mob that slays a defenseless man without trial. The only question in this debate is whether under the fourteenth amendment the states reserved the power to punish men without trial. "The gentleman from Maine says that 'since the days of Blaine and Grady, the sons of the Blue and the Grav have fought side by side.' Yes, we have; I was there. Once, as I led the Twentieth Kansas by the First Tennessee I had our band play Dixie and heard the famous yell go up as a token of brotherhood between Kansas and Tennessee. But we were not fighting for any reserve power to lynch people. Black men fought, too. 'We have been trying to demonstrate how beautiful it is for nations to dwell together in unity,' he says. How efficacious would that speech be at a lynching bee? And then the gentleman demands that we desist from disturbing harmony and arousing discord and dissension by calling attention to the violation of law by mobs when they soak men with oil and burn them alive without a trial, and when the sheriff refuses to move to give men the equal protection of the law of his state that is guaranteed them by the Constitution of the Union which we have sworn to uphold. Yes; I think there is a certain annoying and disturbing effect produced by focusing attention upon so unfortunate a situation, but I do not believe it is half as embarrassing as it would be for you to be burned alive yourself. Suppose that you just vote to sustain the Constitution and terminate this unfortunate discussion. You have taken an oath to do this. Are you going to carry cut what you have sworn to do or not? (Applause.)" The Baptist City Mission gave a good program Sunday afternoon at First Baptist church. ROOM TO RENT—A nicely furnished front room to rent by the week; close to street car line.

ForF two Sundays in succession our services have been somewhat handicapped because of the continued ranis all day Sunday. Miss Lois Thomas, the superintendent, called the Sunday school to order at 10:30 p. m. The lesson was taught and many good things were brought out. Bible Class No. 1, taught by Mrs. Minnie Jones. Pastor Lewis reviewed the classes, which were fine. Because of the continued rain, services were postponed until 6:30 p. m., with 23 in B. Y. P. U. The president Mrs. Minnie Jones is certainly making a splendid thing for the Union. Old Reliable entertained the other sections of the Union with a very neat program. Paper by Miss Florine Farrer, in which she was at her best. Paper by Miss Davis. 'Recitation by Mr. Frank Thomas and Miss Leora Kennard. A grand and interesting remarks were made by Rev. M. C.

He spoke of having Jesus' signature in every request 'we make. Colection for the week, 115. Our beloved deacon and treasurer of the Mt. Olive church, Mr. Mack Alexander, is the sick for this week.

ETROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The publicity committee had advertised the revival on three blackboards and on the sidewalks and in this paper so well and also in the Kansan that through the prayers of the righteous, a multitude of over 1500 people attended the services Sunday. Rev. Lewis, the evangelistic singer, and Pastor E. L. Harrison, began the work in the Sunday school and at the close of the day there were 53 more souls who were converted and some reclaimed. At 11 a. m., Rev. A. Rovston, assistant pastor, read the Scripture lesson, the choir sang an appropriate selection. Dr. Johnson gave the invocation and Rev. Lewis sang beautifully, "It Pays to Serve Jesus." Pastor E. L. Harrison preached powerfully from John 17:4, "I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do." Subject, "The Triumphal Climax." As in all his sermons, he taught a lesson and a Christian moral, and the congregation was astounded and rejoiced in the Spirit, while he preached. At night the multitude grew larger. Several souls were added in the B. Y. P. U. At 8 p. m., Dr. Holly gave the invocation, Rev. Lewis prayed also while singing. "Steal Away to Jesus." Again Pastor Harrison preached a great sermon from Matt. 16:24, "Let him deny himself and take up the cross and follow Me, Jesus." In part he said: "The best evidence of a Christian is Christian living." At the close the singer 'sang. "Yes, There's One," very spiritually. On Monday evening, he preached from Is. 42:3-4. "A bruised reed shall He not break." Subject, "A Never Failing Christ." He explained two metaphors in his sermons, which made Christians give vent to the Spirit. It was found that Metropolitan in its campaign against sin has caused over 105 persons to be converted and reclaimed to Christ, thus far, and they have four more nights to fight old Satan. Tuesday night another large crowd heard and enjoyed the sermon from the preacher and the 'songs' from the singer. The meeting goes on until Sunday. April 2. Come all saints and sinners especially. Come early to get seats. Come Friday, tonight, and Sunday, April 2. SANTAL CAPSULES MIDY Easy to Take-Quick to Relieve CATARRH of the BLADDER Sale, Successful Each Capsule bears name MIDY Beware of counterfeits THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS BRIEF THOUGHTS The crowd never leads. Mix a little play with work. Hate is hell's inside track to trouble. Every majority was once a minority. Sleep 8 hours a day—but at night. Avarice loses all in wishing to gain all. Preparedness: prepare to be disappointed. Silence is often the price of domestic felicity. No one can get beyond his own individuality. It's the after effect of experience that counts. Ambition is usually discontent with talent added. A man may walk right up without walking upright. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.—Jefferson. Getting busy often takes a hard fall out of a fit of blues. The I applier some men are the more money they possess. When a man is a bore he is always the last to discover it. It isn't safe to bet on anything—especially a sure thing. Truth is so mighty that most of us want it in small doses. Don't judge a woman's complexion by the package it comes in. Everything in the way of trouble comes to those who mate. An old bachelor says that time is the only cure for lovesickness. Many a woman has lost an ardent admirer by marrying him. People who claim to have no vices usually have but few virtues. The prettiest hood is childhood, the most expensive is womauhood. Freedom is largely a state of mind; actually, it is full of trouble. Usually the more a man is wrapped up in himself the colder he is. The pleasures of the mind turn chiefly on the powers of the mind. The road of propaganda would be rougher if it wasn't for "they say." After a man has been knocked down by his enemies his friends kick him. Philanthrope persons should see that the poor are coaled instead of cold. Wise is the employer who knows how to do the things he hires others to do. Wise men may acquire much knowledge from those who have none themselves. Some women attract attention simply because they make no effort to attract it. Don't aim too high or you will miss the good things of life a little lower down. There is no patent on trouble, yet lots of men have been arrested for making it. The hatter and the shoemaker may not be divinities, but they shape the ends of men. Many a man gets the upper hand by dealing it to himself from the bottom of the deck. To most people "the masses" means an indistinct body which doesn't include them. Also, the sidewalks were found to be no softer than when there was no ice on them. A man of undecided opinions is considered fair game for arguers on both sides of a controversy. A man carries economy to the extremes when he stops his clock every night just to save time. If a man doesn't repeat the cute things his baby says it is a sure sign that he hasn't any baby. Even as years advance, one may be stirred by moonlight, but he never knows what to do with it. Is it not true that a man would rather patronize an excursion boat than paddle his own canoe? Bring us your next prescription or call us and we will send for it and deliver free. Dillard & Rogers, Drexel 2556; Drexel 1759. "Once, however, I made a very stormy passage across the Atlantic, and got frightfully seasick. The ship's doctor, a genial young chap, prescribed champagne for me, a half bottle twice a day, and say, I wish you could have seen the perfect and unfailling regularity with which that young medico would drop in at the appointed hour and join me in carrying out his prescription. On the Other Hand. The late Edgar Saltus, the brilliant and satirical novelist, said one day at a New York wedding breakfast, where the bridegroom was a millionaire of forty-five: "Our Rockefellers and Schwabs and Russell Sages married in their first youth. Well, our successful men don't marry now as early as they used to, but, on the other hand—" "On the other hand. they, marry offener." 'N Ev'rything. "My own!" he exclaimed, as they were starting on their wedding journey. "Does it make you happy to know that you are mine—all mine—forever?" "Yes, it makes me awfully happy," she replied. "Now I can eat candy without being afraid of getting fat, and have a charge account and everything, can't I?" Did She Admit It? "Well, remarked a gentleman, after a long argument on the question of man's superiority over woman, "at least there is one good, sweet and perfect thing which a man can have and a woman cannot." "Never!" cried his wife, passionately. "Never! I deny it! What do you mean?" "A wife."—The Scotsman.

PORTER DAVIS Superintendent FINDS CONTROVERSY IN STATE OF FLORIDA (Continued from First Page) and Dr. Day got him a crowd and went to see Bishop Hurst and asked that he be retained, for there was nothing open in keeping with his dignity and his much learning. Well, he is at the church, and it looks like he is going to remain there for another year. There is warm weather in and around Jacksonville when it comes to the work of theA.M. E. church, and I hope to be in position to tell you more about it in my next letter. The Rev. S. G. Baker, presiding elder, has been unhorsed and sent over to Key West, and the Rev. Dr. Savage, who was pastor of the largest church in the state, Mt. Zion, Jacksonville, was sent to DeLand, and that started more fire and made the weather just a little hotter. All of these things are brewing. and you with me watch the results, for that is sure to be realized. From Arcadia, I made a trip to Punto Gordo, then back to Arcadia, and from there I beat it on up to Bartow, where the Progressive Baptist State convention was in session, and if you will just believe me honey, it was some progressive convention. It seems that every man in it was progressive, that he wanted to lead, and there were not any followers. All were in love with their much learning, and it would have been applied to some of them if that big fellow lived today, and said to these preachers what he said to Paul when speaking before King Agrippa, "Paul thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad." One could have afforded to address those words to the Rev. Dr. Mister Moore, from St. Augustine, who has started with some other preacher another graveyard in the state, and it is called a "Theological and Bible Training School." This new baby was born in Jacksonville, and already arrangements have been made for its burial, for die it must. This Mr. Reverend Doctor Moore would strut around like a peafowl in the dignity of his own importance, and said, "If you don't do to suit me, then I will give, up, the secretaryship and will no longer be a member of your convention." Now I may not use his exact words, but I have about the substance of them, and beg the pardon of Mister Reverend Doctor Moore if I have made a mistake. Now you want to know what he wanted. Well, he wanted the convention to withdraw from the Florida Normal and Industrial School, and turn everything over to him, that he might be all the more important, and if not, then he would take his money, his letter and his church back home with him. There were others who can act as secretary, and if he fools too much with that church he will be singing "No One' to Welcome Me Home." So progressive was this convention that on Friday night they had an educational rally for the three schools in the state. Prof. Curtwright spoke, and Dr. Ballou spoke, Prof. N. W. Collier spoke and Charles Stewart made the appeal for money to tote on the work, and I don't see to save my life how in the hen feathers all them Baptists present that night could give so much money. They stepped back on their dignity, and I don't see how the committee could count so much money in such a short time, for after begging and singing and talking for thirty minutes they placed on the table for the schools the large sum of $11.60. Progress on, progressive Baptists, for you will educate the world at this rate. Getting through with the convention on Saturday morning, I bade the Rev. Dr. Myrick and his family good bye, and pulled over to the place where I am now writing to you. I am the guest of the Rev. Dr. T. J. Williams, of the African Methodist Episcopal church and from his study I am seated with my pen and ink in hand to say these few words. He is one of the leading preachers in Florida, and a man who took time to become trained before he went out to tote the word. He came into the world via Marion county, Florida, where he got the foundation for an education in Elmwood. Then he took on his finishing touch through the Morris Brown and the University of Chicago He has held some important charges in the state, and his life has been devoted to helping others, pointing the youth upward. He has been a member of the Florida conferences for the past 31 years, and during this time he led the people in building two fine churches, and has paid off many debts. He is just a man to pay off debts, and lead the people. So successful has he been that the people are clamoring for him to fill the position of secretary of Church Extension, and if they place him there they will have a man, and I shall tell you more about it later. With three children about 5 years ago, the Lord took to Him the companion, who was indeed a fine woman, and who worked side by side with her husband. He just got in touch with the Lord and asked for a companion. a wife. a mother for his children already here, saying nothing about those who are yet to come. He directed to Florida one of the leading women of Maryland, Miss Mary E. Beale, whose home was in Baltimore. She could not understand why she should visit Florida, and why she should visit a conference in West Palm Beach. For it was there she met the Rev. Dr. Williams, and a few words were exchanged. This was the Lord's doings. Miss Beale comes from the Baltimore High school, a well trained woman, and of the right age to become the mother of girls. It was in 1919, September 24, in Trinity A. M. E. church; Baltimore, that Bishop John Hurst tied the knot so tight that until death will untie it. It is a happy couple and she will go to Washington with her husband in 1924, after he ha been placed in charge of church extension. I shall tell you more about Mrs. Mary Beale Williams another time. When you read this letter I will be in Tuskegee Institute witnessing the unveiling of that monument. Look out for my next. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Mrs. D. A. Holmes, mother and sisters, attend Metropolitan, their church, and just praise Pastor Harrison for his sermon and moral lesons. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS WALNUT BOULEVARD BAPTIST CHURCH The Junior church, 10:30 a.m., every Sunday morning, is continually gaining ground. This is the department in which we are brought face to face with the child problem. We find in this field the other fields, that some children are easy to grasp what we are trying to teach them, while others are slow. In dealing with the slow ones, showing, explaining and confiding in them your desires and plans for them in a brotherly and sisterly fashion is the best and most effective way to benefit them. Come to the Junior church and be a big brother or sister to the little ones. Eleven o'clock services are always well attended by enthusiastic people, hungering for spiritual food in the form of song, prayer and preaching, and do you know that we have some of the finest singing in the two cities, singing that in itself will make you feel the spirit. The text of this morate the sermon was, "We Can Find No Fault of Daniel, Excepting the Sermons of His God," Daniel 1. The Sunday school has just finished the first quarter and is all the wiser by doing so. In this quarter there were many beautiful lessons, but the main theme of the quarterly was the test, proving God to be God to the idolworshipping people, by Elijah and the punishment inflicted upon Israel for her disobedience to God. The community meeting is determined to be the thing for which it was organized, namely to assist in the education of the community. People who never attempted to appear on a public program because of their timidity are being induced to take a part in our programs; and to the desire to have a new quotations and a beneficial current events cause them to search through books and papers and in doing so, their attention is attracted by this sentence or that sentence and finally they find themselves reading extensively. This in itself is educational. Last Sunday's program was very good. Local talent in music displayed their ability to entertain the community with their melodious singing. The principal speaker, Attorney E. A. Shackelford, gave us a very able taddress on: "Let Not Him Who Puts His Hand to the Plow Look Back." His delivery was very commendable. The rising and falling of his voice in rythmic cadence told us of the dawning of another orator in our ranks. Do not miss our next Sunday's program. The slogan of this meeting will be: "Buy From a Negro or Let a Negro Do It." It is requested that all quotations be from Negro writers and all music rendered will be compsed by Negroes. A Western University professor will give a discussion on why the Negro fails in business. The principal address will be by Prof. J. P. Knig of Sumner High school on "What the Negro Needs." Every progressive race man or woman should hear this program. Com easily. All are invited. It Gets 'Em All Judge—This court sentences you to imprisonment for one year and ten days.

Process Never Ends A four-year-old boy asked his father to take him downtown with him. "I can't," replied his daddy. "I have got to make a living." A week later the son again asked his father, who was preparing to leave for the office, to take him along. "I can't," reiterated his daddy, "I have to make a living." The lad inquired: "Daddy, what happened to the living you made last week?" Irish Blarney. A lady reader reports the following neat compulsion paid to her by her Irish gardener. Having called him into the house to give him some instructions, she saw him looking at a photograph on the center table. "Yes, it's mine," she said, "but I fear it flatters me a little." "Schure," replied the gallant Patrick, "it would have to flatter ye a great deal to look as well as ye do in my eyes, mum."—Boston Transcript. Names for Cars.
