A. C. TERRELL PASSES AWAY AT ATCHISON HOME Minister of the Gospel 46 Years Funeral Wednesday Largely AttendedWas Presiding Elder. On last Friday evening, April 14, at about 8:30, the sad news came over long distance, that Rev. Alexander C. Terrell had just died at his home in Aftchison. At the time of his death he was the presiding elder of the Kansas District, of the Nebraska conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and has been in active service, as a minister for 46 years. The deceased was born in Ballard county, Kentucky, in 1850, and was 72 years old at the time of his death. In his early days he attended Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill. He was licensed to preach June 6, 1876, and three years later he came to the Missouri conference, and joined it under Bishop Shorter, and had been one of the great preachers and church builders of Missouri and Kansas for all these years. He pastored some of the leading churches in these two states and no man knew more of the doctrines, laws and history of his church than he. Rev. Terrell was known for his strong application of the law of the church and his dignified way in applying it. For more than a year his health had been failing and he well knew it, but he worked on and right up to the time he died. Rev. Terrell was married to Miss Laura Graves in 1869, three boys being born to this union, all dying in their infancy. His devoted and faithful wife and one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson, who has lived with them for several years, survive him. The funeral was held Wednesday at 1 o'clock from Campbell Chapel A. M. E. church, 1717 Atchison street. Rev. C. R. Tucker, pastor. It was largely attended by ministers of long association and many others of long acquaintance and friends from Kansas and Missouri. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, coming from churches and friends. As per request, Rev. J. F. Griffin delivered the sermon, paying a high tribute to this fallen hero.

M. E. church in general, will be interested to learn of the marvelous success that is attending the work on the West Coast under his administration. The church began its work on this part of the continent more than three-quarters of a century ago. In the course of years various bishops, missionaries, ministers, and other consecrated workers have struggled to keep the fire burning on the altar of African Methodism. The struggles that have constantly attended their efforts would make interesting reading for the whole missionary world—iu fact, I have heard not a few of the leaders say that it would be wisdom to abandon the work altogether, owing to the great cost of maintaining it and the equally difficult task of keeping competent workers on the field.

IT'S THE RACE'S building, Liberia College. Monrovia, Liberia by Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, A. M. E. Our bishops have not been anxious for the work because of the great distance from the home base, the hardships incident to travel, and the greater test resulting from climatic conditions—being constantly exposed to the much dreaded African fever, which has sent thousands of our best and most courageous men and women to untimely death. It was decided by the general conference sitting in Norfolk, Va., to change the policy of episcopal supervision, which had been to send various bishops resident in America to hold these conferences, and assign bishops for a certain period of years to reside on the work. This was the beginning of better things for our work in Africa—this was especially noticeable during the eight years that Bishop J. Albert Johnson spent in South Africa. I am told that the field there is much more inviting than in these parts, but the point I make is that the work cannot prosper with just an occasional visit from the bishop. In many cases the, bishops sent here almost met themselves coming away. If there is any work in the church that needs close and careful supervision it is the mission work in Africa. It should greatly stimulate our faith to note that Divine Providence has the time to act and the man for the task, that will prove more than a match for the most discouraging conditions that can confront the work of the church. The recent general conference which elevated Dr. W. Sampson Brooks to the bishopric and assigned him to the work in West Africa acted more wisely than it had reason to suppose. It knew the record of the man in America, but a man that is a great success in one field may be a failure when suddenly thrust into new and untried conditions. The bishop left a wonderful record of achievement of more than a quarter of a century as pastor; but I doubt very seriously if a wiser assignment was made in that general conference than that made to West Africa. That wonderful personality that swept everything before him and marked him the prince of pastors beams with increased lustre in this higher office and today his name is the household word among men, women and children all along the West Coast of Africa, regardless of race or creed. I arrived in Freetown, Sierra Leone, in time to be present at the annual conference and spent a most profitable week, during which time I had the opportunity of seeing what a grasp he has of the work there and how the work of the church is prospering in his hands. This work is situated in British territory, but the local government is most friendly to the work of our church. As an evidence of this good will and kindly feeling, His Excellency, Governor Maxwell, of the province of Sierra Leone, and his wife, gave a reception at the Executive Mansion in the bishop's honor. These people represent the highest expression of English society from the standpoint of both blood and culture. The reception was the most cordial and a fitting recognition of the grip Bishop Brooks has on the people of West Africa, representing all walks of life. You find here a very healthy condition of the church as well as the school activities. We have three churches there, and each one has a school in connection with it taught by the pastor; in addition to these they have there a school for boys, the A. M. E. seminary, and an industrial school for girls. The principal of the boys' school is Rev. J. P. D. Richards. able plans not to decide cause church will it with gets works ADVOCATE He has a regular attendance of 145 of the most promising boys I have ever seen anywhere. Prof. Richards is doing a great work. I hope to tell of this work more in detail a little later. The girls' school is in charge of Mrs. I. E. Steady, the wife of the Dr. Steady. This young woman was born in New Haven, Conn., received her early training in the schools of New England, and her college work at Quindaro University, and is one of the talented young women of the race. These young people are among the best prepared in the race, young Mr. Steady being a graduate of Wilberforce and Yale. Mrs. Steady has built up a most wonderful school in the short time she has been here. The girls are taught to do everything that belongs to a well regulated home, and their needle work is some of the best in any school. It is the plan of the bishop to give special attention to substantial school buildings as soon as he has completed the big task that he has set for himself at Monrovia. It is the work at this place I am especially calling the attention of the church to. Persons in attendance at the general conference in St. Louis will recall that Bishop Brooks began to raise funds for the work in his new field before that body adjourned—that marked the beginning of the wonderful work that is being done here. He has purchased twelve acres of land about twenty minutes' walk from the wharf, and about ten from the city, on the only public highway leading into Monrovia, for his school site. It is truly beautiful for situation, about a thousand feet above sea level, with a front overlooking the Atlantic ocean, with a view stretching out many miles and at the rear the Messarado river, which actually skirts the campus. On this spot the most imposing building in West Africa is being constructed, and when completed there will not be a school building in the church that will surpass it—it is the pride of the whole of West Africa. The building is of stone and cement construction and is being built by native boys. It is 60x148, three stories high, and in addition to the liberal provisions that have been made for administrative purposes, it will have about one hundred rooms for dormitory purposes. The real magnitude of this job becomes evident when the fact is known that so much of the material for this building must be shipped from Europe and America. I have recently constructed a building in Dallas, when prices were sky high, but the barrel of cement which cost me about $2.80, cost the bishop $7.35, and it required 1,250 barrels for his work. Everything is equally high that has to be imported. The bishop and his patient wife are making real sacrifices—they are only ooming and denying themselves many things that would greatly add to their comfort. Some of the missionary ladies said that they were going to build an episcopal residence here—God would surely smile on them if they would do it at once that, these servants of God and humanity hight have the measure of comfort that the church can so well afford, while they pour out their lives for humanity. The people are gladly doing what they can to help themselves, but they are unable to put the project over, but the plans must not fail; the work must not cease; therefore, the bishop has decided to go to America and put his cause before. his friends and the church. I am sure the church at home will receive this hero of many battles with open arms and see to it that he gets sufficient funds to complete his work. Already he has completed a HEAR THE HON. C. C.

REED MURDERED LAST TUESDAY NIGHT Mysterious Death of a Respected Citizen on Way Home from Prayer Meeting Much Deplored. No greater shock ever came to the citizens than when, on Wednesday morning, the news reached the people of the assassination of Richard W. Reed, 103 Stewart avenue. He was on his way home from prayer-meeting at his church, First A. M. E., at the corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, of which he was one of its most devoted members. The death of Mr. Reed is a mystery to the community, as it is not known of him having a single enemy. Persons in the neighborhood heard two shots, and Mrs. Luella Cato, 2047 North Water street, saw two men run across a vacant lot to the Missouri Pacific tracks. About 6 o'clock Wednesday morning, John McLowell, 136 Stewart avenue, found Reed's body beside his front porch. A trail of blood led from Stewart avenue to the door. Reed had been shot twice, once from the front through the neck and once from the rear through the right kidney. His valuables were not disturbed and Stanley Beatty, detective, does not believe he was the victim of highwaymen. This unfortunate man leaves a wife and seven children, and a mother and sister living here. The family and relatives have the greatest sympathy of a host of friends and citizens all over the two cities. The funeral will be held tomorrow, Saturday, at 1 o'clock from the First A. M.

Her friends hope she may soon be out. splendid trades building that is now being used in the construction of the building in question.

MURPHY, THE VENERABLE EDITOR, IS DEAD Was the Man Who Made the Baltimore Afro-American One of the Leading Race Newspapers. Kittrelll, North Carolina. Did you ever talk with a fellow full of hope, ambition and plans for the future. Leave him when he said he was going to write to you on important matters, and before you get that letter word comes to you that he has crossed to the Beyond? This is exactly what I have experienced a few days ago, and I am so excited that I can hardly write to you, because the doctor told me to pack my trunk and all of my belongings and get ready to join my friend John H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American, who crossed the river just a few days ago, and I am going to meet him "over there." Mr. Murphy was one of the factors in racial uplift and development, and he fought to the last for his people. He was a man who thought for John H. Murphy, and when he got a thing in his mind and he thought that he was right, no power on earth could change him, and if he dipped his pen in vitriol for an enemy, you would just put it down that there was going to be some big doings, and you had better get out of his way. There were none like him in all the world, and he has left a vacancy that will never be filled in our racial group. I met him back in 1898, at the general conference held in Wilmington, N. C., and he started out then to try to make a newspaper writer out of me. I was then just J. O. Midnight and as I developed and the people became acquainted with me they made me Col. J. O. Midnight, and I have been that ever since. Side by side we worked, and remained good friends. We were together in Montgomery, and he had with him his son, Dan, trying to secure for him health. They made it to Jacksonville and out to Edward Waters college we went, and separated there, but I did not think it was the last time I would see him. Dan died, he returned home, and wrote me that he had been sick, but would soon be at his post. One by one we are passing out, and you may expect to see almost any time that J. O. Midnight has passed out of life. God grant it that I will return to the God who gave me here and spend my time in Heaven with those who have gone ahead of me. Heaven is my home, and while I am not homesick I am going there some sweet day. But my friend Murphy has (Concluded on Fourth Page) MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. BONNER SPRINGS, KANS. Services at First Baptist church were conducted by the pastor, Rev. A. C. Kyles, although delinquent 30 minutes, it is the first time that has happened since he pastored here, which we consider a splendid record. After a well attended and very interesting Sunday school full of inspiration the pastor preached a very excellent sermon from Matt. 28-4. Subject, "Our risen Lord," and pictured out that Christ is now our living Savior dispensing life to all who will come to him. A very splendid Easter program was rendered at 7 p. m. bv the children of the Sunday school under the leadership of Sister Fisher, superintendent. Everyone present enjoyed a real feast. Being early in finishing the program all turned out and went to the A. M.' E. church, where a duplicate treat in program was listened to. Services at the A. M. E. church were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Edward J. Eatman. The pastor preached in the morning from The Songs of Solomon, 2-12. Subject "Easter." He unfolded glad tidings full of true Christian unity and purpose as to the intention of Easter and had his listeners know that this day is one of our greatest days, that we ought to fondly cherish. Attendance to morning service was good and likewise throughout the whole services of the day. We all recognize Rev. Eatman as a thorough Christian gentleman and full of inspiring qualifications ably fitted to the task of instructing assisted by his most splendid companion. We have the sad intelligence of the death Friday evening of the presiding elder over this district, Rev. Terrell, that brought sorrow to all who knew this sainted man. The little daughter of Brother and Sister Mike Banks, although not considered alarming, is on the sick list yet. We hope she may soon recover health. We wish to ask that all visitors to our town churches and community may be taken note of and inform Brother Steward of their presence in our midst. On Friday night, April 21, there will be a grand banquet at the A. M. E. church here. Come out and have a good, social time with us. Mr. W. T. Clemmon is progressing nicely with his grocery store in Grandview. He is one of our best citizens, imbued with business qualities and we sloicit for him your patronage. Sister Lula Steward was called to Higginsville, Mo., on account of the serious illness of her mother, Mrs. Eliza Parker. The Sunset Art Club met with Mrs. D. M.

CHURCH NEWS The Easter morn brought forth a bright and balmy resurrection of one whose memory was honored by millions, through the entire universe. It was a great day at First church, from early morning prayer meeting until 9 p. m. At 9:30 more than 300 children were in attendance to the Sabbath school, where the lesson of a risen Christ was studied and discussed, with much helpfulness. This being missionary day, this chool raised for this purpose $65.00. The teachers distributed to their little folks colored eggs and candy. At 11 o'clock sharp, the pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, entered his pulpit, surrounded with beautiful white lilies. The 24th chapter of St. Luke was the moning lesson, after the choir sang an old hymn. The pastor offering a fervent prayer. The choir then rendered a lovely Easter Anthem. Dr. Griffin's subject was taken from the First Corinthians, first chapter and 20th verse, "Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath God made foolish the wisdom of this world?" Subject, "Christ the First Fruit." At this time the church was crowded down and up stairs. The discourse and argument, with an unusual spiritual power of logic and oratory, in showing and describing Christ as the First Fruit of man's redemption, run through the vast audience as fire in a dry stubble. It was wonderful, it was inspiring, it was fruit indeed for all who were present and many have been helped who were not present, as it went out to them, through His messengers. Three acknowledged this Christ, at the close of the sermon. A large number of babies and daults were baptized. At 3 p. m., the primary department of the Sabbath school rendered a fine program which was greatly enjoyed by a nice audience. The 'children were well represented by their parents, who were proud of them. At 5:30 the Junior Allen League gave a special Easter program to an appreciative audience. At the closing service of this beautiful Easter day, the intermediate and Bible classes of the Sunday school rendered the program, which was appropriate and greatly enjoyed. It was a great day in the work of the Master and for missions. The day's receipts for missions were $155. The Junior choir sang beautifully at the evening services, holding special services.

The pastor preached from Rom. 6:7, subject, "Our Share in the Resurrection of Christ." The special satisfaction to all believers is that we have a share because of the pledge Christ gave us, viz: "Because I live you shall live also." The sermon was interesting and helpful. The choir rendered special music. Mrs. Elmira Hastings, contralo solo, Christ Betrayed, (Creswell) and Simpei's Hallelujah, Christ is Risen were fine. The sacrament of Baptism was administered to eight candidates. The B. Y. P. U. listened to a splendid address by Prof. G. B. Buster, subject, "What the Resurrection of Christ Means to the World, to You and to Me. The main thought conveyed was the development of the spiritual above the physical nature. The evening service was a continuation of the spiritual feast. The pastor preached from Luke 24:13-14, subect, "The Walk to Emmanus." And our hearts burned as he preached to us the Scriptures. Twenty persons were fellowshipped into the church. Thus closed our Easter services. A welcome awaits all who attend our services. MOUNT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH 1012 North Third Street Rev. E. M.

I have lived well today, and I should be an educated man, because I have been to just a few schools. I have been going some. When I wrote to you that last letter I was mingling with them big men and women at Tuskegee Institute. I was just around with such men as Dr. Robert R. Moton, Trustee Julius Rosenwald, Hon. J. C. Napier, Melvin W. Chism, W. L. Porter, Dr. James E. Gregg, of Hampton, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones and so many others. I heard that remarkable speech made by Dr. Henry Allen Boyd, and listened to a common sense talk by Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs, and one from Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, of Dayton, walked and talked with Prof. N. W. Collier and many others, and then made it to Jacksonville and other points. While in Jacksonville, I had the pleasure of coming in touch with Miss Bertha M. M. White, a bundle of energy, push and brains A woman who believes in putting things over, and she is doing her bit. If you knew her you would be proud of her. She is now at the head of the Service Laundry company, and is devoting her life in developing this plant. She is just working, that's all and that is worth more than mere talking. Her work has not been selfish for she has put her time and labor into caring for old folks, and I am sure God will bless her The home is filled and her money is spent to help to keep it going. I believe that if she had one million dollars she would spend every cent of it looking after those in need, and die a pauper. Down to St. Augustine to be there at the Founders Day exercises. I was received with open arms by Prof. N. W. Collier that young giant in power, in thought, in push and pulck, in donig things. Just three years ago, looking a few years ahead of his people, he said that the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute would have to get in quarters where it could grow and because of the good name of the institution and the standing of President Collier, the white people began to bid for it. St. Augustine made a bid, offered some land and then showing how some could be purchased. With faith in God and his people, Dr. Collier rolled up his sleeves and went to it. The site was to cost just $50,000 and many said it could never be paid for. But they forgot that it was a man's job and a man was on the job. In three years they have paid for the land, and now they have a building program. He is bringing to him many friends, and those who TON PARK S' ALL-STARS NARCHS. APRIL 23, 1922 D AT 3 P.M. WILL BE ON THE MOUND NARCHS FOR THE ALL-STARS IN THE MOSIAC? In America. We pay $300 to a $50 monument. We also ick. Join now while the big We want to organize as many e of the Grand Lodge, which uber, 1922. For further in- reat Lodge call are substantial Long may he live to carry out the work he has started. There was a big time there, and there were many people who were on hand to assist in the great program which was being put over. I am now getting in line for anything that will come to us. After leaving that place, I returned to Jacksonville spending the night with the Rev. R. R. Grant. His wife received me like she was receiving a brother, and told me to be at home. Dr. Grant got up bright and early the next morning, toted me to the stable where I got on the Seaboard Air Line for this place. I will not be able to tell you all I met and saw on my way here, but I am here just, the same and if I were not here I would be in some other place. Pray for me. Now what have you in mind for the summer? The National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress will meet next June, 14th, in New Orleans. The executive committee of the National Baptist Convention will meet at the same time to make cut the program for the next session of the convention to be held next September in Los Angeles, Cal. You should plan to be with them for I am going to be there myself. I am going to California just one time if no more. The National Negro Business League will meet in Norfolk, Va., August 16. 17, 18, and they are going to have one more big time there. I hope you will be on hand. Chicago is after the next session and I believe will get it. I had the pleasure of seeing so many things in this world, until it would take out all of my brains to tell all I have seen. I wonder what you are doing now? Rev. S. J. Johnson is getting ready to make his home run in May, 1924, and I will tell you all about him. I want you to come with me and go to the National B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress in New Orleans. They are going to have one more big time. Already the experts have accepted, and will be on hand to give instructions in the chosen line. I have the information from the Rev. Dr. D. W. Cannon that it is going to be some meeting. I am not going to write my fool brains out this week, but will stop. I am going to be in Philadelphia, and if you want to reach me, send a letter to 2323 North Twenty-seventh street, Philadelphia, Penn. The funeral of Mr. Amiel Turner, who has been very popular in this city, will take place Sunday afternoon from the Christian church. Switzerland has granted reciprocity, in the matter of assistance to foreign unemployed persons within her boundaries, to subjects if Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Czecho-Slovakia and Italy. C. E. CANNON, THE GROCER, INSTALLING FILLING STATION Mr. C. E. Cannon, the grocery king of Third street, is still on the alert as one of the race's leading business men of this city. Mr. Cannon's latest addition to his business and the one great thing that has long been needed for the convenience of the public on Third street, is the installing of a $750 filling station and which is the first and only filling station on this busy street, or even in the northeast part of the city. When Mr. Cannon sees a thing is needed in his community, he does not have to ask the whole neighborhood if they think we need so and so, or do you think it would pay, but just goes ahead and puts it in atany cost and as long as Cannon does it, they know it is needed and it will pay. Mr. Cannon owns a building at 1949 North Third street, with 35 rooms, of which one of the finest groceries in the city is located in the front. A large dining room in the rear, and continuing back to the alley and the entire floor from the front to the alley sleeping rooms, with everything modern and up to date. Every room is kept occupied and he says he could fill as many more if he had them. The entire building is fitted up with electric lights, plenty of baths, hot and cold water. Most all of his roomers take their meals in the house. He keeps the best of cooks and tidy house maids. Mr. Cannon not only owns this fine piece of property, but a number of properties in this block and that part of town. He also owns one of the finest farms near Kansas City, Kansas, it being located near Tonganoxie. This large and beautiful farm has all the latest improvements, in buildings of every kind needed. The dwelling is as modern as any home in the city and stands on a most picturesque spot. C. E. Cannon always has a vision for something bigger and greater. Watch for his next vision. CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens Forum convened as usual at the Metropolitan Temple, President Davis presiding. One of the best programs of the year was rendered by the students of the blind institute. Those sightless young people certainly did fine, and were applauded with many encores. Also extended a unanimous vote of thanks. Next Sunday, April 23, the Second Regiment Band, of Kansas City, Mo., will give a fine concert, and April 30, the Lawrence Forum will come with an excellent program. Attend the Forum, the greatest civic body in the city. MASONS HAVE BIG FEAST Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Wichita, delivered the annual address to the Feast of Maunder Thursday at the First A. M. E. church, April 13, of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Free Masonry. It was said by those present to be the finest delivered in the history on this special occasion. There were more than 150 at this feast, which was an elaborate affair. Dr. J. G. N. Soanes was toastmaster and the Sumner High school orchestra furnished the music. Prof. T. H. Reynolds, director. SACRED FOUR QUARTET The Sacred Four quartet of which is so well known and popular in the city, were omitted through an oversight in the card of thanks of the bereaved Wm. Trammell, in our copy sent in to The Advocate. We wish to thank them so much for their service and kindness—Mrs. Bessie L. Trammel, Wife. The friend looked frightened. "Here, Smith, tell me what's up. Perhaps I can help you." Smith clinched his fists till the knuckles showed white. "No one can help me," he cried in agony. "I have come to the end of all things! At eight o'clock I telephoned to my wife and gave her a perfectly good excuse for not coming home, and" his voice sank to a whisper—"I've forgotten what I said."

Mr. Ed Lyles has resigned his position at the post office, and has accepted a position with the city.
