Midnight Gives History of Bullock Case, of the Man Who Fled to Canada to Avoid Being Lynched, and Efforts Made to Have Lynchburg, Virginia.—I have been to the National Race Congress in Washington last week, and you may put it down in your book that I got something out of being there, and I realized as never before what great things this organization is doing for my people and for your race, and I am now thanking God for the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D.L., president and organizer of this Congress, and a man whose heart and soul are into his people. I would like to see the members of my race rally to this one organization that is doing something, and if only the saving of Matthew Bullock from the lynchers, that is sufficient for us all to join in it. I never thought so much "cuss" in my life or since I have been a member of this race, as I did last Saturday when riding from Washington to Petersburg, and then to this place, when I saw in big headlines across a Richmond (Virginia) afternoon paper, "Three Negroes Burned at the Stake in Texas." As I read and read, I just asked "Why-in-the-hen-feathers did they barbecue three men, and why did they let so much meat go to waste?" There should be a law that when barbarians cook meat they should be made to eat it. I just feel like laying my religion aside long enough to say something that I would not like to have children read who go to Sunday school, but instead I just said, "Father, forgive them and send them to h—l for that is exactly where they belong." As I read about them, then I thought-of the brother of Matthew Bullock, where he is today, how they took his life, and how this young man made his escape to Canada, and how they pursued him over there and asked Canada to give them papers which would permit them to return him to America, take him down there in North Carolina and cook him. People, and civilized people at that, would have turned out just-like they would at a circus to see the cooking of Matthew Bullock, and then I could see why Wm. Bullock in an address said that he would ever love Dr. W. H. Jernagin and the Race Congress for saving his son. It was on the streets of Washington, one day that a man saw a woman of his race on the street weeping, and he inquired as to the cause. She told him how they had lynched one of her sons and they were trying to get the other one from Canada and he would perhaps suffer the same fate. This man went right to the home of Dr. Jernagin, told him the news, and that little man, although there was not a cent of money on hand, but he got busy. Got busy. He sent a message to Rev.' J. D.-Howell, Hamilton, telling him to employ counsel to prevent Matthew Bullock's extradition, and wire him cost. The word came back saying $200 to begin with, and Treleaven & Treleaven were secured and the president wired the amount immediately. The case was won, and the young man released, but was re-arrested, and when this news reached Dr. Jernagin he again wire the same laywers, National Race Congress of America desires you to continue with IN THE N. A. A. C. ER MOTHER---SWE MEN BY BARBARIANS NEED OF HASTENING THE DYER ANTI NING BILL y of Bullock Case, of Canada to Avoid Being Arts Made to Have returned Bulock case, wire me additional expense." Then an additional lawyer was employed in the case, S. F. Washington, ex-crown attorney, and this time they went in to win. They did win, and while an organization has said that they will have Bullock back to America soon, I doubt it very much. Lynching puts my country in a heluva mess before other countries, for here our next door neighbor, Canada, refuses to return a man accused of crime because his life will be worthless, and he perhaps would suffer at the hands of a lawless mob instead of a trial before a court of justice. I have been thinking and thinking, and my think tank has been operating more since the burning of three men in Texas. Where will it end? Wm. Bullock, in addresign this meeting in Washington, declared that the Race Congress was the only organization that had—contributed—anything to his son—in fact it had paid all the bills: They went in debt to do it. Now where are the men and women who talk so much about "my race?" Where are the race leaders? Here is an opportunity for them to do something. That was a fight for the race, and I think the race should help to pay the expenses. A letter sent to Rev. W. H. Jernagin, 1341' Third street N. W., Washington, D.C. would bring—the information, and any amount sent to help in this debt would be appreciated. But now, I am not to solicit, but made a suggestion, and now I must say to you that I have been riding some. I have been to Washington, D. C., and have seen the house where President Warren G. Harding makes his home. He is my president, and I know that because I helped to put him there. He had my vote, but I have a question mark behind it just now. If the United States Senate goes to sleep and fails to pass the Dyer bill, then I am not going to vote for another Republican for president, for Senator, allows me to remain in this world. I don't know just how long that will be, but if Mr. Republican wants my vote then he must be man enough to blot out lynching, which is a disgrace to real civilization. I am real tired of my country saying to the world that we are not able to enforce law. That we can go over to France and leave some of our best blood there to establish democracy, yet we cannot protect a human life at home. I had the real pleasure of meeting and hearing Hon. Perry W. Howard, who is in the department of justice and who is a real first-class lawyer. He had just won an important railroad case for the government, and he is doing, some real good work. He is a man who knows his business when it comes to law. He was a lawyer down in Mississippi, and he is a lawyer up in Washington. At some time when I am in Washington I am going to visit his office and tell you all about him. I had the pleasure of meeting Tilford, Davis, Jr., in Washington, D. C. He comes from Kansas City, Kansas. You know him, because he is some Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, May 12, 1922 Over 1200 people attended the play called "Esmeralda, at Kansas City High school, May 3. The plot in this 4-act drama was quite deep. Miss Mildred Owens, as "Esmeralda," was the heroine in being true to her lover. Miss Ida Swancey, as the mother, who would have her way and was fine. Mr. B. Perry, as the father, played so fine that he made his part a star part of the play. Misses Aurelia Harris and Lonetta Alexander did well. Mr. Frank Green, the true poor lover, who became rich, was fine and Messrs. T. Richards, N. Howell, H. Clendenon did well. Miss S. Branham was a maid and Mr. Godfrey Pleasant was Marquis De Montessin, a French adventurer, and the villian. All enjoyed and cheered the whole caste, but apparently Brummell Perry was the favorite for the most applause. The play committee was Miss H. Pendleton, K. Davis and Prof Mobray, deserve credit.

Carroll and his wife, Mrs. Carroll; Captain Richard Williams and his wife, Mrs. Williams, of Leavenworth, attended the Annual Sermon of the Knights of Pythias here last Sunday. poet, believe me, and the world will hear from him some sweet day. He is at present connected with the United States government as letter toter. I heard him make a hit here by reciting one of his own poems. The big Vermont Avenue Baptist church was crowded and heard this scholar. I made a trip from Washington—no, from Philadelphia to Montgomery, Ala., and from there to Washington, and all in one week, and now you see where I am. I had a letter from a friend who declared that I was the most travelling man in this country. I don't know so much about this, but I am doing my part of it. I want you to pray for me, for I am nearing my home. I am not well, and will have to get Drs. Hall and Conrad to work again. Everywhere the African Methodist young people are getting ready for the National Convention of the Allen Christian Endeavor League to be held in Chicago August 16-20. Secretary S. S. Martin is busy getting ready for this great event. He is making good as secretary of the League and the Young People's Connectional Congress is bound to be a success. You may write to Dr. S. S. Morris, Queen and Church streets, Norfolk, Va. Speaking of Norfolk, Va., the National Negro Business League will meet about the same time, August 16, in Norfolk, Va., and the business men are going to be there in large numbers. I shall have more to say to you about this in another letter. If you want to know what big things are to be just keep your eyes on me and I will let you know. June 14 is the time for the National Baptist Sunday School Congress in New Orleans, and this will be a real big body of young people. I expect to be there, do you? The Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias are getting ready to do some great things in Hot Springs... Two hundred thousand dollars will be put in saving human life. This is what they are going to do for the bath house. Hot Springs is America's life saving station. Have you been there? We all thank God for S. W. Green The Twenty-eighth Annual Thanksgiving services of the Knights of Pythias and Order of Calanthe and Sunflower Grand Lodge and Court, Kansas Jurisdiction, was held Sunday, May 7, at Metropolitan Baptist Temple. By 2 p.m., the Temple was filled with 2,900 people. Headed by the famous First Regiment band, the following lodges marched to the church: Stringer Lodge No. 14, Enterprise No. 27, Golden Star No. 42, and Crystal No. 44; Courts of Dionysius No. 16, Bright Eagle No. 12, Hermaine No. 21, and Fidelity No. 34. They were escorted by Midwest No. 2, Troop A, Stringer No. 11, and Sunflower Company No. 1. Sir Considee Jenkins, master of ceremonies, presided in his usual dignified manner. He made the opening remarks and incidentally referred to the unfairness sometimes gvien our race by some. He especially spoke of the prosecuting attorney not getting out a warrant for the 45-year old man-who assaulted an 8-year-old girl of our race. The program was as follows: Selection, Pythian choir, with Mrs. Louise Newland, presiding at the pipe-organ. Invocation, Sir Uriah Scott. Pythian ode, led by the choir, with the hundreds of Pythians and Calantheans singing from the printed ballots. Proclamations read by Sir L. S. Ross and Mrs. Eva White. Offertory, finance committee, Mesdames R. Perkins, G. Rose, K. Harris, and I. Wilsin: Sir Basil, treasurer. Attorney W. H. Towers and Fd. Gear. Alabama Pythian quartet, enceded. Anthem, God Has been a Shelter for Me, choir. Sermon, Rev. E. L. Harrison; Texts, I, Sam 20:3-4, John 15-13. Subject, "Three Patterns of Friendship," viz: Jonathan, David and Jesus Christ. He told of the great friendship Jonathan had for David; also told of the love of Damon and Pythias, and said it was all right; but the greatest love was that of Jesus Christ, who died to save the whole world if they will only accept Him. Said, "There are ties more sacred than flesh and blood and the Pythians and Calantheans are united in F. C. B. and friendship is the mortar which binds the stone of Pythianism." He admonished Pythian members to be true when trusted with their brothers' wives and sisters, but in all things not to forget and leave Jesus our greatest friend, out of their lives. Many praised God when they heard the sermon and said it was the greatest Pythian sermon they ever heard." The ladies looked nice in their costumes and the men also. The collection was $254.33. After the benediction the lodges and courts formed line and marched to their new hall on State avenue, between Fifth and Sixth streets. Their services having been a great success. Notes on Pythian Day. Brigadier Genercl Thos. Kennedy was one of the most distinguished guests on the pulpit at the Thnaksgiving services. Mr. Charles Slaughter another high Knight of Pythias, was much in evidence. The main Knights of Pythias officers of the day were: Sir John Duval, C. C.; Sir B. Richardson, Marshal; Sir Uriah Scott, Prelate; Mrs. Mamie Davis, W. C.; Mrs. McElroy, Usher; Sir Thomas Kennedy, Brigadier General; and Sir Considée Jenkins, M. C., who announced the arrival of Mrs. M. C. Matthews, the society editor of The Advocate and asked her to do some special writing for the Knights of Pythias.

THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER FENSE FOR JUSTICE SUNDAY IS MOTHER STATE ORGANIZATION LAST SATURDAY COLORED POLICE OF KA Many Counties Represent and Women of th F Part on Commit Floor of Some weeks ago a call for a statewide convention to be held in Topeka, May 6, for the purpose of organizing a Kansas Political League, was issued. This call was quite a success, so far as numbers were concerned, as many counties were well represented by their leading men and women. The meeting opened at 1 p.m. in Metropolitan hall, with Attorney J. H. Guy temporary chairman; E. Percy Robinson of Parsons was selected temporary secretary. The chair appointed at once the various committees. The credential committee was the first to report and then the convention opened, as in ye olden days, when conventions were popular. Wyandotte seemed to be first to get its wires crossed and it was not long until it was discovered a short circuit was eminent in the camp, but after an inspection of oratory from many spellbinders of both sexes keeping the temporary chairman scratching his head on parliamentary usages, the circuit was broken and all went on to the organization of the League, although a little smoke still could be seen here and there throughout the meeting, some retiring before the motion to adjourn. AN EFFICIENT NURSE CQMES TO SANITARIUM The Dr. Davis Sanitarium, at 422 Minnesota avenue, has secured, as its head nurse, one of the best known hospital nurses in the west. She is Miss Juliet E. Purcell, who took charge, of this sanitarium the first of this week. Miss Purcell is a graduate of Freedman Hospital, Washington, D. C., and was head nurse of the Old City Hospital, Kansas City, Mo., for some years, and later called to take charge of the family cottage for colored, at the Beloit Industrial school, Kansas. Miss Purcell's home is in St. Louis and at the completion of her nurse training, was public health nurse of her home city and also was in charge of child hygiene. The Davis Sanitarium is very fortunate in securing the services of such an efficient and experienced woman, at the head of this institution and no doubt she will be a big asset to the communitiy in her skill to suffering humanity of this city.

A constitution and by-laws were adopted and after the committee on resolutions reported. The Kansas Colored Political League adjourned to the call of the executive committee. Shawnee delegation had a small ripple on the water, but it soon calmed down. This organization, if properly handled, can be of great worth to the colored citizens of this state. Quite a number of our prominent women were present and they saw to it that their sex was recognized on every committee and some were heard on on the floor of the convention, at various times and on various questions. Mrs. Lyles and Mrs. Dickerson of Wyandotte seemed to hold the strongest hand on the floor of the women present. Many fine talks were made from the floor, while the committees were getting ready to report.

Sunday was a large day at First Church, it being the last day and the close of the revival meetings, which have been conducted for two weeks by the noted evangelist from Tampa, Florida, Dr. I. H. Dixon. There being only standing room in the church at an early hour. The evangelist was still strong physically and spiritually, was stronger than when he first began. Fully two thousand heard the evangelist deliver his last sermons and 27 persons came into the 'church through his last appeal, to "Flee the Wrath to Come." It was a day of shouting and giving praise to God. Stalwart men and women of years' experience out in the world of sin, were moved by the wonderful argument of this great evangelist and started out on the road of eternal life. In the two weeks' campaign, upwards of 80 came into the church and the fire left in the community by the evangelist will continue to burn in many hearts, who did not accept Jesus and the prayers of the church, will bring them to a full confession of the Lord, before the fire goes out of their souls. Rev. Dixon spoke to the Junior Allen League Sunday evening at 5:30. The League presented him with a fountain pen. The choir music all day was of the good old Gospel songs, and how they were enjoyed! Rev.-Griffin will fill his pulpit this Sunday, when another great throng of worshippers and church goers will be present, as this noted divine has not preached from his pulpit for three Sundays. Baptizing Sunday All converts and others who have not been baptized will have it administered to them Sunday at the close of the morning service. Those who are to be baptized by immersion will enther take place in the afternoon, or some time during the week, in the pool at Allen Chapel. The evangelist left Monday evening at 5:30 for his home in Tampa, Fla. All day Monday friends called to bid him goodbye and the telephone was busy until after he had gone saying farewell to him and wishing him a safe return to his family and friends. The evangelist, while here was elaborately entertained, with many fine dinners, by friends and members. Some of his converts gave as much as $10 in the contribution for the evangelist, showing their appreciation and his worth to them. All departments of the church have again started off on their regular work, after three weeks' vacation—they devoting their time and interest to the saving of souls. Come out Sunday to all the meetings of grace and helpfulness to both young and old. A CHURCH WITH A SMILE—good seats taken early. Argentine, Kansas St. Paul A. M.

KANSAS, CITY, KANSAS THE NEW IDEA IS TOO RAW I have been asked to state why I withdrew and walked out of the meeting of Colored men in Topeka on the 6th, called for the purpose of fostering the interest of the race politically. The shortest answer I can make is: Because I was fully satisfied that on account of the conduct of certain persons from Wyandotte county, that such a feeling was generated and such an impression was had, that no good could possibly come from it. For thirty years, I have taken part n the conventions and meetings we have held for the good of the race in the stale, and freely admit, that in some of these meetings, there have been selfish and sinister acis and conduct on the part of some of the members of them. But I do not recall an instance wherein the degree of that sort of conduct rose to the height exhibited at this last meeting. And let me, with shame, confess that this deplorable condition was brought about by members from Wyandotte county. It is frightful to contemplate, this new Brand of Statesmanship—so full and replete with Selfish and Sinister purposes. I have never attended a meeting with greater hope and desire that something substantial should be accomplished, than I had in and for this one. I was chosen as an alternate to some one of "New idea statesmen." I was perfectly satisfied, for I knew I would be seated in the meeting, as a well wisher, under any circumstance. I observed when the selection of delegates was progressing: that stress was being placed on being a DELEGATE. I then suggested to those present, that in all previous meetings of the kind, they had been made up of volunteers and all persons with right and proper ideas had always been seated, and I felt sure the rule would be observed at this one, even though we should send men as delegates. The first thing that attracted my attention was a list in the morning paper, giving my name and Mr. E. E. Scruggs and one other as delegates, whom I knew had not been elected as such, and leaving out the names of Mr. D. W. White. Ben Robinson and W. L. Boone, whom I knew had been selected. Well, I wondered and inquired and remarked about it. And as soon as I arrived in Topeka, I approached Mr. Green, who had been made chairman of committee on credentials, and who had also been chairman of the meeting Dr. F. K. ROGERS, M.D. Physician and Surgeon 1605½ N. TENTH ST. Office Hours: 9 to 12; 2 to 5 P. M. 7 to 9 P. M. FAIRFAX 2850 FAIRFAX 5122 where the delegates were selected, together with Mr. J. P. King, who, had been secretary of the meeting of selection, and stated to them together, that some mistake had been made, and called their attention to the fact that on Thursday night previous, Mr. Scruggs' name was first, and mine was second in the list of alternates, and that neither of us had been selected as a delegate. And further stated, that I would be seated, as an alternate, which would suit me just as well, and that the correction should be made. Neither of the gentlemen said anything definite, but seemed insistent upon seating the delegates, as thus DOCTORED. When the question of adoption of the report on credentials came before the body, charges most startling were made as to the selfish and sinister purpose of the persons responsible for this "Doctored" list of delegates. Charges calculated to bring the blush of shame to any person living in Wyandotte county, as to such persons being controlled by instructions from certain Bosses in this city, not of our race. And they were promptly denied by the chairman of the delegation. This left it a matter to be determined by the conduct of the delegates, in the light of past associations and conduct. From that time onward, it was pandemonium, nothing could be done by the temporary charman, nor by any member from up-state, to suit the whims of this peculiar delegation, if by such acts, any of the persons, who had in some unknown manner been "Doctored" out of the delegation;—were recognized or respected. And this too notwithstanding the fact, that these persons had been duty seated in the meeting. I sat there quietly through it all, taking the occasion to vote several times, but said nothing. But I thought very seriously of all that had been said, and of all that was being done, and how it was being done, and I further thought of how it was openly admitted in our last election here,—how the person who had been named DID THINGS through one of the men on the "Doctored" delegation. And when I saw the "Wiho" and others of that delegation persist in contentions and motions wholly needless, and which could have no purpose, gave only that of prevention, such as recalling a committee, because there was some one on it not liked by that delegation, so that such delegation by vote could form such committee. When I observed the senseless and grossly contemptible contention put forward, of having the delegations voted by their chairmnm, instead of each man exercising his individuality, using the sense and good judgment each one was supposed to have. When I observed such a senseless and stupid process in a meeting where persons were supposed to have assembled, because of their good common sense, cool and intelligent deliberation, and honest and righteous judgment—and withal, noticed that the whole day had been frittered away, in such untoward processes. So that not a single thing, not even a respectful mention of the cause for which we had assembled, had yet been made. And when I further observed that such unseemly conduct had so disgusted the members present, that they had deceased, until those from Wyandotte county constituted a majority of persons present. When I thought of the monumental presumption of assembling to consider and remedy the wrongs heaped upon us, and to devise ways and means for bettering our condition, and then wasting the time as had been, foolishly—I thereupon concluded it, needless to give more time to such a poor prospect. I then recalled the fact that The Progressive League, which has been in existence since 1910, and which in time past, had done much good, was still in existence, and implored, and still implore the president, T. W. Bell, to call it to meet; to undertake again, tb consider the matters and things for which it was organized.' I believed and still believe, that the men and women who will thus be assembled, will see and feel the necessity of the occasion. I believe they will have such a clear and clean-cut conception of the strenuousness of the times, of the combines and co-allations against, as to impress them of the pressing necessity of cool, intelligent and united action among ourselves. Such conclusion was /e only way out, from the horrible nightmare cast by the day's untoward proceedings. Respectfully yours, I. F. BRADLEY, SR. (Advertisement) The Advocate was delighted this week in receiving a fine letter from Prof. and Mrs. J. E. Patterson of Paul Quinn college Waco, Texas, who stated they expected to visit here this summer. Their many warm and devoted friends here will be exceedingly glad to see them, as it has been two years since they have been here Professor Patterson was a teacher in Summer High school for some years and for many years held the chair of science at Western University, leaving there two years ago, accepting the same position and dean of WEST PLAINS,- MO. Last Sunday was another high day, with Mt. Olive Baptist church. Evreything was in high order. Sunday school was good. At 11:30 a. m., Pastor delivered a wonderful sermon from St. John 13:30. Theme: Self Condemnation, the Cause of Future Suffering. Text: Having received the sop, he went immediately, and it was night. John 13:30. He preached a wonderful and spiritual powerful sermon. Many a tearful eye, as he told of the suffering of Jesus, by the hand of his supposed friend and treasurer of the church. Two additions to the church. At 3:30 p. m., reassembled in an old-time testimony meeting, and the administration of the Lord's Supper. B. Y. P. U. at 3 p. m. It was fine indeed. Mr. Biben Henry read a splendid paper. Mr. Todd Devan delivered a very spicy address. Miss Ball and Mrs. Henry were brought forward by Mr. Edward Thomas, to be introduced to the union, who made a short talk. Instructors for the Sections Numbers 1 and 2. Mrs. Lena Ball for Section No. 2; Mrs. Marie Blanton for Section No. 1. They were introduced by Mrs. Emma Lewis, wife of the pastor. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. led by the two young women. Miss Lois Thomas and Mrs. Minnie Jones, are bringing things to pass. They are great factors. They gave a bazaar last Saturday, in the basement of the church, only about five hours and raised $33.30. This committee consisted of some of the best church working young ladies in the country, who are willing to do anything their hands find to do, and do it willingly: Mrs. Lena Hall, chairman; Mrs. Minnie Jones, Mrs. Charlotte Harden, Mrs. Marie G. Blanton, Miss Leora Kennard, Miss Lois E. Thomas, Miss Floyd P. Swanson, committee. Mrs. Marie G. Blanton and Mrs. Emma Lewis and Mr. J. C Clegggett are on the sick roll this week; also Mrs. Hnnah Givehand, but each are doing nicely. The receipts for the week for the Mt. Olive Baptist church were $45.69. The public school here will have its closing exercises this week. School closes on the 19th inst. Rev. M. C. Lewis will deliver the baccalaureate sermon to the graduates next Sunday at 3 p. m. The school closes with the honor of three graduates, Miss Florine Farrar, Miss Spohae Givehand, Mis Lois Thomas and Mr. Todd Devan. Miss Lois Thomas well deserves all the flowers that could be possibly laid at her feet, for indeed she is a worthy young lady. She will be a great credit to any community. She is efficient and progressive. She is not of that flirty type of young teachers, but conservative and unassuming. Grease the wheels of The Advocate.

I have been a witness in this community and yet a witness that this man of God is a wonder among the people here. We Baptists love him for his talent, wisdom and race pride. He called for in this rally $1,000, but last night they laid on the table $1,967.45 and money still coming in. A better church is sure. His great officers and members are great workers and they love him. Secret societies are not mentioned in his church and therefore is no hindrance with them. DR. N. S. JENKINS. M.D. H.

To the Advocate: Though my coming was premeditated and voluntary, yet, now that I am in Washington, I am caught up in such a whirlwind of scenery, both horticultural and architectural beauty, monumental piles of masonry, while by some sixth sense feeling the vibrations of so many social forces of government, right and justice, that I'm holding my hat on with both hands and holding one foot down with the other to keep from slipping. Sight-secising? Brother Kennedy, every evening when I'm forced by darkness to desist, I require surgical assistance to restore my eyes to their sockets. I'm told the morgue is constantly crowded with cadavers who in life were foolish enough to try to "see Washington" in a week. I winked at the Fisheries building, National Museum, Bureau of Engraving and some others on my own responsibility, met our genial congressman, E. C. Little, who is growing fast in power and influence, and took me up to the gallery (members) and pointed out Joe Cannon, Nick Longworth Volsteod, whose surname is ample identification, and a few other members who really are able to get their names in the press dispatches. Then over to the Congressional Library, where he showed me some details of system and management. I would never have learned myself. I did catch a clerk in here tipping a sly wink at another as much as to say, "The same old buncombe for the rubes from back-home," but it sure has become a habit with the colonel to treat—well everybody right, for among the colored barbers, from Wallace Ball to the prehistoric artist from Ajabama, they all almost call him by his first name. We read of his activity for the surtax, his great argument on the constitutionality of the Dyer bill, but, to my mind it requires considerably more real greatness to be eminently fair, equitable and just to the colored brother. It reveals the true measure of the man from our viewpoint. I'm leaving tomorrow for Wilberforce Ohio, as this thing of runnig around with congressmen is very corrupting to me. Why I stood over by the Washington monument, gazing idly around, chewing with all the relish of a devotee. a hunk of plug tobacco. Carelessly I spat and got a good "calling down" from the guard stationed there to keep some enterprising citizen from walking off with it. Not noticing how close I was, I had spat upon -the tip, wheih you know is pure aluminum. TILFORD DAVIS, JR. TRIPLE TORCH PAGEANT More than 3,500 people witnessed the Triple Torch pageant at Athletic Field; Fourteenth street and Armstrong avenue; Tuesday night. Two thousand children took part. The colored schools took the part of Civil War days. In the finale all schools acted er in folk dances and spectumes. BAPTIST CHURCH The Junior church at 10:30 is keeping its stride. The little fellows are showing rapid progress in the work that it being taught them. The 11:30 service as usual was splendid; the beautiful singing of our two choirs with the most excellent sermon by our pastor Rev. J. R. Richardson, was greatly enjoyed. The Sunday school at 1:30 p. m. is trying to get as many children enrolled as possible. This says the superintendent, is the only solution for the great crime wave which is sweeping the country. The community meeting at 4:30 p. m., has taken a definite place in the minds of the Kansas City, Kansans. We announced our aims in the beginning and we are accomplishing them. Last Sunday's program was excellent. The music was good. The principle address by Prof. John Hodge was very interesting and timely. His subject was: "Better Language and Higher Ideals." The home, he said, can do more toward accomplishing this than any other institution. Next Sunday Miss Ida Godfrey will address us. Come out and hear the spendid Mother's day program. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation attended Metropolitan Baptist church Sunday morning. Dr. Harrison returned from Chicago Saturday and preached Sunday. He complimented the church memebrs on looking so happy and springlike. Said they loked very cheerful. He also told of the successful revival at Dr. L. K. Williams' church in Chicago. Has over 9,000 members. There were 400 joined while he was preaching there, and about 350 baptized. Dr. Harrison preached an excellent sermon at 11 a. m., and a most excellent one at 2 p. m. before 2,000 people at the Knights' of Pythias Annual Thanksgiving. At 8 p. m., he preached from Prov. 31:10-31. Subject, "Ideal Woman at Home." If you read it in the Bible, you understand it better, as it is King Lemuel's prophecy that his mother taught him. Although some men were elated over the sermon, seevral women did not like the sermon at all. Some thought it would make their husbands more selfish in their home life. As they understood the preacher to say "a man is not made to make over a woman, but the woman must make over the man, even though he comes home cross, etc." But it is true as the Bible—in Procebs 26th to 31st, that a virtuous woman's price, is far above rubies. "Virtuous," then did not mean simply being moral. "She openeth her mouth with wisdom and her tongue is the law of kindness.
