I don't want to believe my own eyes, but I believe I will just have to believe what I have seen, take faith and go right on directly to Heaven, and tell Jesus all about it. I have been attending the Virginia Baptist State convention and you will just have to join with me in looking and see what great things I have seen. If you will remember a week back you will recall that I was in Lynchburg, Va., at the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, stopping right with the president of that great institution and his family. I told you a little something about Dr. Robert G. Woods, but I did not tell you half enough and if I would use the whole paper talking about him this week, you would still know that there was more about him. He is just a man doing things, that's all, and he has taken our people, added $150,000 worth of additions to the school this year, erected a building costing just $150,000 and raised $115,000, and all of this from our own people, and if you can take a Baptist group and put in one year $115,000 you will just have to agree with me that we are getting our eyes open, and say that the half has not been told. Well, the convention is one of the best organized Baptist state conventions in this country. The president of the convention Dr. T. J. King, is a well trained man. He is pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist church, and one of the men of our race who is making education serve his people. He is educated to his race and not away from it. I do not know from what schools he comes, and I do not care, but I do knew that he has got it in his heart and in his head and no one can take it away from him. and there is no use in trying. I just praise God for his life. (Concluded on Fourth Page) SPECIAL Did you know you can buy choice lots, on 27th street. Quindaro, just south of Western University?

I'don’t want: to believe my own eyes ,but I believe I will just have to believe what I have seen, take faith and go right on. directly to Heaven; and tell Je~ sus all about it. I have been attending the Virginia Baptist State convention and you will just have to join with me in looking and see what great things I have seen. If you will remember a week back you will recall fhat F was in: Lynchburg, Va., at the Vir- ginia Theological Seminary and College, stopping right with the president of that great institu- tion and his family. F told you. a little something about Dr. Robert G. Woods, but I did not tell you half enough and if I. would use the whole paper talk- ing about him this week, you would still know that there Was more about him. He is just a man deing things, that’s. all, and he has taken our peo- ple, added $150,000 worth of additions to the school this year, erected a building costing just $150,000 and raised $113,- 000, and all of this from our own people, and if ycu can take a-Baptist group and put in one year $115,000 you will just’ have to agree with me that we are getting our eyes open, and ay that the half has not been old. * « Well, the convention is one of the best crganized Baptist state snventions in this country. ‘The vresident of the convention Dr. T. J. King, is a well trained man. He is pastor of the Fifth Street. Baptist church, énd one of the men of our race who is’ making education serve his people. He is educated to his race and not away from it. I do not know from what schools he comes, and I do not care, but Ido knew that he has got it in his heart and in his. head and no one can take it away from him.. and there is no use in trying.

CIVIC LEAGUE MEETING Minutes of meeting of Civic League May 16, 1922: Meeting called to order by Dr. S. H. Thompson, vice-president, with I. F. Bradley acting secretary. Minutes of meeting of May 2 were read and approved. The committee appointed to visit the mayor in regard to the plumbing situation reported and the committee was continued. A partial report was made by committee on school affairs by S. H. Thompson, and committee continued. Thereupon the League, its objects and aims, also its ways and means were roundly discussed by several members, and a feeling that it was necessary that we awake to a full sense of the situation which confronts us, seemed to pervade the meeting, and all present seemed impressed deeply with the idea of duty in the premises. And it was urged upon all, and assurances were given, that from the present onward, each would give time and talent to the performance of the work to be accomplished. It was decided that in the near future the League would serve a dinner to members, at some suitable place, as a means of awakening interest and increasing membership. A committee, consisting of Mr. William Boone, Ben Robinson and Dr. Blount was appointed to arrange the detalis of the same. It was also decided that a program shall be presented at the dinner, for the purpose of presenting in clear-clean-cut and concise manner, the place of the League in the community and the work to be accomplished by it. And Mr. Thomas Kennedv, William Martin and E. W. Brown were appointed as a committee to carry out this feature. The subject of the memorial building for Soldiers and Sailors was ably presented by Mr. Chester Gaston, and the necessity of our being interested in it, was clearly shown, and a committee consisting of I. F. Bradley, W. Boone, F. B. Anderson and Dr. S. H. Thompson were appointed to work. with Mr. Gaston, as a member of the Legion, in procuring the best results. Several new members were enrolled, and a general good feeling prevailied. Adjourned to meet two weeks hence. S. H. THOMPSON, President. I. F. BRADLEY, Sr., Secretary.

CHURCH NEWS The services Sunday were largely attended, the auditorium and gallery were filled to their capacity at an early hour. It being Mothers' Day, flowers decorated the bosom of hundreds in honor and love for the dearest friend on earth. The pulpit was also abundantly furnished with beautiful flowers, furnished by the Pulpit Aid board. The message delivered by the pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, was a spiritual treat to those present. This being his first sermon for three weeks, and he seemed to have a double portion of the holy spirit. At the close of the sermon, several came forward and acknowledged God and others were added to the church. Baptizing took place after the reception of members, forty-two being baptized during the day, six being baptized by immersion in the afternoon in the pool at Allen Chapel. The pastor gave an excellent and instructive talk to forty-two converts, who had front seats and were fellowshipped into the church. It was one of the happiest and most beautiful sights that has been seen in First church. About fifty were added during the day. The Sabbath school is having a fine attendance and the interest in each class is growing firmly. Both of the Allen Leagues are having splendid meetings every Sunday evening, the Juniors at 5:30 and Seniors at 6 p.m. Young people can be greatly helped by attending these meetings. A fine class meeting was enjoyed last Friday evening by the many who attended. Come out otnight and bring some one with you. Sunday will be another big day in Zion. Come early if you want a choice seat. Argentine. Kansas St. Paul A. M. E. church, Kansas City, Kans. 2325 Ruby avenue. J. A. Broadnax, Pastor. Services every Sunday.

U., 6:30 p.m. Prayer and praise service, Wednesday, 8 p.m. Mothers' Day was befittingly observed in Sabbath school by the young people. Our superintendent, Sherman D. Scruggs, Jr., arranged and carried out a program of merit by the young people. The morning worshippers were many and listened to a sermon by the pastor long to be remembered, from Exodus 20-12. Golden thoughts followed one after the other on the reverence and filial service due our mothers. Pasing gratitude not sufficient, but honor, service, respect due each hour we live. No human loves us like mother, because they do not care to be grieved at our conduct should it not be what it should be. Mothers see more in their children, hope and suffer more and love us longer. The mothers of yore, the most unselfish; they were true to their own and broad enough to help others. Those whose mothers are gone find some spot, kneel and ask God to give us the same spirit of unselfish love and sacrifice. Mrs. Augusta Dunlap sang with pathos and THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS broad depth of feeling, Kipling's "Mother o' Mine." B. Y. P. U. had a splendid program of solos, recitations, etc. F. Leontine Prince addressed them on "The Uncrowned Queen of the World." 8 p. m., the pastor preached from Isaiah- 53rd chapter, later clause, tenth serve. Subject: "Jehovah's Pleasure." The pleasure of God was that salvation should be brought to fallen men, that grace abound much more than sin, that justification take the place of condemnation. Peace conferences, human laws, leagues nor any contrivance of men can bring lasting peace. Only through Jesus Christ shall it come. Every effort is being put forth by the loyal members for a successful rally on the 28th. Sumner High school will be present with us at 11 a. m., and Rev. Bowren will preach the baccalaureate sermon. A welcome awaits all who attend our services. MOUNT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH 1012 North Third Street Rev. E. M.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The officers of the church asked to write to advertise a fine preacher to preach, but he was sick in bed and could not come. But as it was Mother's day, that was advertised with pink and white carnations, and many attended the special morning services. The Sunday school had a good Mother's Day exercise, and the women had theirs at the 11 o'clock service: Mrs. L. Stovall was mistress of ceremonies and the Mothers' Day program consisted of song "When Mother Prayed." by the choir; Prayer, Mrs. H. Miller; instrumental solo, "In the Sweet Bye and Bye," Mrs. A. Allsbrok. This beautiful selection was very appropriate. Then one main feature of the program was a prose prologue and an original poem on Mother's Day by Mrs. M. C. Matthews. Many of the large audience complimented it highly. A fine sermon was then preached by Assistant Pastor A. Royston. Many praised the sermon. After the offertory Mrs. Merritt presented the first prize, a chest of linen, to Mrs. L. Willis-Thompson, who had brought in $8. Miss Tierra Williams received the second prize for bringing in $15. total $53, for the Daughters of Zion. At 8 p.m., the assistant pastor preached another enjoyable sermon, and it is said that some eminent preacher or Dr-Upshaw may be able to come next Sunday, May 21. So everybody come, as you are coming, right along every Sunday to church, as you will surely miss much when absent from this fine temple of God. This church has a fine baby grand piano. The sick are Mrs. J. T. Roberts, and Mr. R. Lowe. Mrs. Jennie Palmer is able to be out, and was one of the honored mothers on Mothers' Day. THE EDITOR Mrs. Clark, Mrs. F. Moore, Mrs. Kellogg, Richardson and Te Vault, too, were honored mothers. Many, women, men and children wore flowers symbolic of Mothers' Day. Extract from Mothers' Day poem: If mother has departed From this great world of care Remember her good teachings Remember mother's prayer. So let all raise their voices And praise God in our way For mothers gone and mothers here On this great Mothers' day. —Matthews.

West End Pharmacy, Dillard & Rogers, Props. Last Friday night the First Baptist church was crowded. Standing room was unavailable. Many were turned away. One of the most successful entertainments given this season was "A Clergyman's Courtship" presented by the. Dramatic Club of First Baptist church. Each member of the cast did very well. The leading parts were played by Miss Eunice Anthony, as Olivia Vaughn, an actress, who cleverly portrayed the part, and Mr. James Sualding, Jr., as Arthur Grayhurst, a clergyman. Spaulding was natural and impressive, in his line. Mr. Sherman Scruggs, as Jerrold Brice, a lawyer (and lover). was perfect. Mr. James Spaulding, Sr., as Jacob Snyder, a theatrical manager, was fine and created as much mirth as Lerov Ferguson, as Reuben Stubbins, the janitor. Others who deserve special mention for fine interpreation are the Misses Nadine Steppe, Linnie Borders, S. V. Tink, Willane Gilford. Adeline Jordan, Mr. Merrill Williams, as Jonas Dixon. The choir leader was especially fine and humorous. Mrs. Georgia G. Bailow showed herself mistress of her art in two excellent renditions, piano solos. The violin solo by Elijah Townsend was faultlessly rendered. He gives promise of an artist of no mean note. F. Leontine Prince, costumed as "Black America," gave an original poem. "The Flag," which was enthusiastically received. The total proceeds were $225.00. The directors, F. L. Prince and S. D. Scruggs, Jr., are sponsors. Miss Virginia Geren and Lena B. Downs are gratified and, express their thanks to every one who in any measure helped to make the splendid success. Mrs. Weeden won first prize, $10. Miss Eunice Anthony, second, $5.

JESSE PECK, Presidest and Supt WALNUT BOULEVARD Come out to our Junior church meeting at 10:30 o'clock and listen to the able theses given by our little boys and girls. It is your indispensible duty to help train these tender plants. The 11:30 service was well attended by wide awake people who had the memory of mother with them—a white carnation here and a red there—and the pulpit and choir stand were filled with beautiful flowers. The subject of the sermon was "Mother." The text was Harken unto thy Father that beget thee and dispise not thy mother in her old age. The Sunday school at 1:30 is showing signs of growth since the scolding of our membership by our pastor for non-attendance. The Community meeting at 4:30 p. m., had a most excellent program on Mothers' Day. All quotations and music rendered were full of the dearest expressions for the love of "Mother." The principle address was "Mother." The word "Mother" said the speaker, is wonderful, but has been carelesly used. Come out next Sunday, May 27, and hear one of the greatest lectures in this section of the country, a man of very broad views and the highest of ideals. This great character and preacher. Rev. Franklin Ream of the Washington Boulevard Methodist Episcopal church, will address us on: "The Welfare of the Community and How to Get Along With Each Other." BONNER SJRINGS, KANS. First Baptist church Sabath school was held at 10:30 a. m., Sister Buelah Fisher, superintendent, officiating, and a real interest was manifested, after which Brother John Grear gave a pointed review. Rev. A. C. Kyles, then ascended the rostrum and preached a soul-stirring sermon from Rom. 8-35, using "Love" as a subject. We all note a splendid development and growth in our pastor within the last few months and hope to see him, one day, a strong advocate for Christ. At 3 o'clock p. m., we visited Grandview A. M. E. church, better known as Brown's chapel and enjoyed a good "Mother's Day" program, stimulated by a very splendid lecture, delivered by Sister Katherine Carter, very befittingly touching the honor due our mothers. B. Y. P. U. was well attended and had the pleasure of listening to Rey. Joseph Davis, of Kansas City, Kans., who with timely elcquence explained the entire scriptural lesson, which was read by those in attendance. In the evening we had the special privilege of listening to the Rev. L. M. Terrell, a splendid young minister from Walnut Booleyard Baptist church of Kansas City, Kans., from Mark 14-6:8. He used as a THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS subject, "The Alabaster Box." Those who failed to hear him missed a real treat. Theodore Gentry was taken violently sick this (Monday) evening from which we hope a speedy recovery. Mrs. Leona Tombs is still on the mend. TONGANOXIE, KANS: First Baptist church Sabbath school convened at 10 o'clock a.m., and was conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. E. Steward, with 14 scholars in attendance. Immediately after which the pastor preached from John 4 Silent Spells Explained The reason why some people don't talk more is that they can't think of anything further to say about themselves. The request of the Chinese Carpenters' Guild, that the miuumnm daily wage of carpenters be increased from 50 cents to $1.00, and the employers' offer of an advance of 15 cents, have been submitted to arbitration. Pending the decision of the arbitrators the carpenters have been given a temporary increase of 25%. This is in a country where a few years ago there were no labor unions and carpenters got 10 cents a day. The major portion of the iron mining companies at Bilboa, Spain, are said to have offered to resume operations on a full time basis, but on the 1919 wage scale, which would mean a considerable reduction in the average daily wages of the miners. Some of the society brood of London, England, are having the small toe on each foot removed so they can wear a narrower shoe. If they would have the whole foot taken off they could then walk on a wooden peg and have a better chance to leave their footprints on the sands of time. A bank in Moberly, Mo., closed the other day and the president is on his way to Honduras. Some months ago he was sued by a Kansas City, Mo., girl for breach of promise. It's awful what women will drive a man to. SOME THINGS TO THINK-ABOUT There are 22,000,00 wage workers and 10,000,000 farmers in America They feed us, clothe us, house us. They transport us. They keep us warm, and protect us. They fight our wars and they pay for our wars. Their hands and their brains support the world. They produce $60,000,000,000 of wealth every year, cr $3,000 a family. It is estimated that exploiters take $24,000,000,000 annually. The exploiters are taking relatively more now than before the war. They have increased their share $5,000,000,000 during the past seven years. There are only two classes; the class that produces and the class that lives off those that produce. The producers should vote together, and leave the exploiters to vote together. Heietofoe the producers have divided their votes between the Republican party and the Democratic party, and have been betrayed by both. Weite the seats in Congress properly distributed. There should be 400 farmers and workers in the national capitol and the same proportion in our state legislatures. Workers and farmers will enjoy political power only when they work together and vote together for their common economic and social interests. There is a howl about gasoline prices going to 30 cents a gallon this summer The oil companies know how to make hay while the sun shines. Despits the published reports of the fall in living prices, street car fare, taxes and oil products are skyrocketing. Perhaps the owners of these things do not read the daily papers.

HARLEY LOVEAGE TONGANOXIE, KANS: First Baptist church Sabbath school convened at 10 o'clock a.m., and was conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. E. Steward, with 14 scholars in attendance. Immediately after which the pastor preached from John 4-14, and used as a subject "A Rerpetual Flow of Life-giving Vigor," and discussed the text in a way to show inasmuch as mothers give us our physical form, Christ gives us mortal life and eternal life and sustains it by a never-failing supply of living waters. At 2 o'clock p. m., as requested by the pastor, a very splendid "Mother's Day" program was rendered by the young people of the B. Y. P. U. and children of the Sabbath school, the best during our pastorate. The pastor was then taken home by motor car, accompanied by Mr. Ezelle Fowler, Sister Hattie Fowler and Sister Josephine Carter, who consented to a surprise on Rev. A. C. Kyles and congregation by worshipping with them as representatives of First Baptist church of Tonganoxie, Kans.

Advices to the department of commerce tell of the completion of the last-link in the system, which covers the 196 miles between Trollbatton and Vesteras. The line is intended to carry 220,000 volts. This work corrects the water powers of the Far North with the industrial centers of the southern part of the country, and, if the consumption of power in Sweden fails to utilize the full amount it will be sent over to Denmark by means of a cable laid beneath the water separating the two countries.

Well, this convention met, and there were present people from everywhere. Many of the ministers are graduates from this same Virginia Theological Seminary and College and they have been well trained in the doctrine of self held. They have been taught that if you want a mountain moved do it yourself and not sit down and wait for some one to do it. They figure if the Negro would be educated he must do it himself and not wait for others. They say that is the Hays, Bowling, Fox and others spirit, and R. C. Woods, who is a product of Hays, has the vision and he is using it, and Dr. King, is a great power within himself. Now these men met last week, and they were there from all parts of the country, so to speak. The Rev. Dr. J. Austin came from Pittsburgh, and he made some speech and when he was through planked down five hundred dollars from his church, and said more was coming through the Pennsylvania convention; then followed the Rev. Dr. James E. Willis, from the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, Washington, and on the table went his check for five hundred dollars; then followed Dr. W. F. Graham, of the Holy Trinity Baptist church, and on the table went his chuck for five hundred dollars; and then followed Dr. A. L. James, of First Baptist church. Roanoke, and on the table went his check for five hundred dollars; and a young man, Rev. C. L. Wells, from Lynchburg, pastor of the Diamond Hill Baptist church, and he put down his five hundred; C. T. Murray, Loyal Street Baptist church, the place of meeting of the convention, and he put down five hundred. Now you think this is going some, but here comes President R. C. Woods, representing the faculty and students of the school, and he put on the table $1,854.77; and now you want to know something about the other men. Rev. Dr. Sims, from New York, brought $200 from his church, and then he represented Dr. W. W. Brown, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church in New York City, who could not come to the convention, but he sent his check for one thousand dollars. The other men who put down one thousand dollars each were Revs. R. H. Bowling, First Baptist church, Norfolk; Dr. T. J. King, Fifth Street Baptist church, Richmond; Dr. C. P. Madison, Second Calvary Baptist church, Norfolk. I am sure you have heard of Watt Terry, the wealthy real estate man way up yonder in Brockton, Mass. Well this young man delivered an address at the convention and when he was through speaking he put on the table five hundred dollars as his personal gift. Now you see when our people do things like this for education you may put it down that the thing is happening, and you can see us growing in the eyes of others That is the way to get respect by doing just a little more than make big speeches. These people are preaching and practicing "Help Yourself, Flack Man." I heard some mighty big speeches down here, and then I saw some mighty big things accomplished for the race and by the race. I wish that the people of my race all over this country would take example from the Virginia people, and you would see us grow everywhere. There is too much selfishness among our people. Too many men want to be leaders, and if you don't push them ahead then they sit down on you. How many churches in the Baptist rank give as much as a hundred dollars for education? They crow and make a big to do when they give ten dollars and this you will find great big conventions raising about what two or three men or churches in Virginia gave. From four churches came $4000. Now I am going to see how many conventions will raise over four thousand dollars this year. If you would only give the work would be done. I feel like saying some cuss words this week, but I am going to pray a little while longer. I am a Baptist, and I am told that President Warren G. Harding is a Baptist, but I am getting mighty shaky. I am afraid that the preacher who put him under the water did not put him down deep enough. I do not want to lose faith in our president, for I worked too hard to help get him elected and must not change now. I am pressing on and praying hard to' keep the devil from getting in me, and then it is hard to tell just what I will say. We are all getting ready now for the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. convention, June 14, in New Orleans. I have succeeded in raising $29, and that will take me there, but I don't care how I get back, but am going to get there, and I think that Rev. E. Wittenburg will see that I get something to eat. I do not know just where the meeting is going to be held, hence I cannot tell you, but I do know that it will be in New Orleans. I will be there and the executive board of the National Baptist Convention will be there to make program for the next meeting. They are going to be and do a few things cut there. Then will follow the meeting of the National Congress of the Allen Christian Endeavor League to be held in Chicago, and believe me when I tell you that Rev. S. S. Morris is working hard to be ready for this great meeting. I wish that you were going to be there also, for it will help you to be there. The National Négro Business League will meet in Norfolk, Va., and this is going to be another great big meeting and will be attended by many people from all over the country. Dr. Robert L. Moton, the president of the League, is asuring the people that the porgram will be first class and worth while.

Why We Eat Hens 'Eggs George M. Cohan, the greatest electrical sign advertiser in the theatrical world, in discussing advertising recently, said: "When a duck lays an egg, she just waddles off as if nothing had happened. When a hen lays an egg, there is a whale of a noise; hence the demand for hens' eggs." Now what we want to know is, does it pay to advertise?
