KANSAS CITY Hans.Hist.Society SOUTH AFRICAN PAPER FEATURES BISHOP VERNON The Bishop's Views on Social and Economic Questions Are Given at Great Length—Encouraged in His New Field of Labor. During the brief visit of the Right Rev. W. T. Vernon, Resident Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Africa, a representative of the "Advertiser" had an interview with the reverend gentleman on questions affecting the welfare of the native and coloured races of South Africa, and obtained some interesting views from the Bishop thereon. The Bishop spoke of South Africa as a country of tremendous possibilities; for a young country it had gone forward rapidly. He thought the people of South Africa had not let the, world outside know of the bigness of the country as regards its resources, and a more generous advertisement would bring in the sort of immigrant desired, as well as bring in capital from other countries. Asked for his views on the industrial problems as they affected the coloured and native races, the Bishop said politically he had no views. He was here by the courtesy of the Government as the Bishcp of a Church controlled by the coloured people of America, and he felt it would be a breach of confidence for him to seek to give gratuitous advice as to what should be done in a political way. "The one thing we seek at all times," he said, "is to have our people understand that they must be loyal and in harmony with the Government and stand for law and order. Our mission is purely educative and missionary; we have one desire and that is to contribute our share towards the uplift and betterment of the conditions of the coloured and non-European population of South Africa. "South Africa is a rich country, with illimitable natural resources. I am agreeably, surprised at the progress, and development here. South Africa is so far away from the center of things that comparatively little filters through to the world of the events and conditions here. Only a small proportion of the people of the world realize that civilization here is as thoroughly progressive as the civilization we find in Europe Your great cities and industrial centers give the appearance of our most progressive American cities, with the exception, of course, that we may have larger cities, but in the matter of appointment, diversified interests, orderliness and general appearance your cities take rank with the best of them." Invited to give expression to his views on the coloured question, Bishop Vernon said: "I hore to be unbiased and to give a thoroughly honest opinion. It may be I have not been here long enough to speak as one having authority, but I have attempted to make a study of one of your outstanding problems. The best minds of South Africa, regardless of race or political affiliation, I am sure, are anxious that South Africa should go forward and not be unnecessarily impeded in her program. This can best be accomplished when all elements of her people are progressive. To have a population of one and a half million or two million Europeans going forward steadily, probably half a million coloured people of varying degrees of success, and millions of natives many thousands of whom are civilized, with a considerable number educated and aspiring, and yet countless numbers in (Concluded on Fourth Page) SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 N THE N. A. A. C. P A HIGHLY RESPECTED CITIZEN TAKES THE WINGS OF MORNING Frank P. Perry, one of the city's noblest citizens, passed away last Sunday morning at his home, 1815 North Third street. Mr. Perry had been a resident and lived at this number for 21 years. As a citizen, no city or community had better and any neighborhood would be proud to have such a character in it. Mr. Perry had not been in good health for more than a year, but the most of the time was able to look after his business, he being in the transfer business on the Missouri side. While he was not confined to his bed, his friends knew he was not a well man, but little did they or his wife think of him passing away so quickly. His splendid wife, Mrs. Lucy Perry, was greatly devoted to her husband and was ever looking after his comforts. He leaves a lovable companion, two sisters and one brother, who live at Jeffersonville, Ga. The funeral will be held this Friday at 2 p. m., from the First A. M. E. church, of which he had long been a faithful Christian member. He was a member of Rone Lodge No. 24 of Masons on the Missouri side, who will have charge of the funeral. Rev. J. F. Griffin will be the officiating minister. The wife and relatives have the sincere sympathy of a host of friends of the deceased and family in their hour of sorrow. Also The Advocate extends its deepest regrets to teh bereaved wife and relatives. A FINE RECEPTION The finest reception, opening the summer season, was given by Mrs. A. J.

The ladies, fashionably dressed, began arriving in autos, etc., at 2 p. m., and by 6 p. m., more than 200 had been introduced and enjoyed the hospitality of the hostess, and the friendliness of the distinguished guest. Mrs. M. Hatley and others assisted in receiving and Miss S. Miller rendered beautiful piano music, and Miss Bernice Wilson and Adaline Jordan sang and were encored.

The Mosaic Templars, the Sisters Zephroes held their annual sermon Sunday at Metropolitan Baptist church, Rev. George McNeal, pastor of Pleasant Green Baptist church, delivering the sermon. The men met a 1 p. m., at their Temple, 312 Nebraska avenue, and were led by the Mosaic Juvenile Palace Band No. 741, of Kansas City, Mo., to the church where there were about 150 ladies dressed in white, awaiting their arrival; also the two Juvenile departments of boys and girls, all making a fine display and a credit to any organization. When seated the entire floor was filled with members of the order. The regular National printed program was carried out. On this National program that is sent out each year for these annual occasions, a financial statement is given as to receipts and disbursements. This year's total assets showed $842,132.20 and claiming to be the wealthiest colored fraternal organization in the world. This organization has $125,000 worth of Liberty bonds alone. Mr. G. D.

K. P. UNIFOFR COMPANY AT FORT HUACHUCA, ARIZ The Brigadier General, Thos. Kennedy, for the Jurisdiction of Kansas, has just organized a company out of the Tenth Cavalry, at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., of 68 men and will be mustered in very soon. On the 6th of May a subordinate lodge was set up of a large class and in less than ten days the commanding officer of this state, General Thos. Kennedy, was in touch with its officers for a company. Accompanying the first correspondence an application blank was enclosed with instructions and in les than a week it was returned to the Brigadier General's office with all requirements. ADVOCATE COMMENCEMENT AT W. U. LARGEST EVER ATTENDED New Building is Completed and Another Will Be Built—Seventy-five Graduates Receive Diplomas—Big Sum Brought In. Western University held its twenty-fourth annual commencement Thursday, June 1st, of which was the largest attend in the history of the institution. The week's program was of a very high order and showed a marked degree of a higher standard of scholarship. Right Rev H. Blanton Parks, the presiding bishop and chairman of the two Trustee Boards, delivered the baccalaureate sermon to the class of 1922. Sunday, May 28. It was held in the new Parks hall and was filled to its capacity. The commencement address to the 75 graduates was delivered Thursday afternoon by Hon. Harry B. Burton, mayor of Kansas City, Kansas. His message was one of thought and timely admonition to the class and an inspiration to the 2,000 who heard him. The class was the largest this school has ever turned out. One graduate received the A.B. degree, it being the first time in the history of the university, showing that President Peck is placing this institution on a higher educational plane. The enrollment for the past year was 411 and would have been much larger, but for the cutting out of the seventh and eighth grades last year. The exhibits were of the finest that have been seen since there has been a Western University, which showed greater efficiency in these departments. In the oratorical contest which was held Tuesday night, May 30, Edward Landor, a Junior, won first prize; Alma Griffin, second prize. Both of these prize winners are residents of Kansas City, Kansas. Miss Griffin was the valedictorian of this year's class, who also received two medals for efficient work. $7,500 Brought to School Wednesday and Thursday the Board of Trustees were in ther annual sessoin, at which time the ministers of the Episcopal district brought in more than $7,500 in cash, besides nearly $1,200 had been forwarded to the treasurer. At a meeting of the trustees on Tuesday morning it was decided to erect another wing on the west end of Ward hall. The new Parks hall on the east end of Ward hall, which was erected this year under, the supervision of Rev. J. F. Griffin, at a cost of $30,000, was the principal attraction and was a great inspiration to the Board of Trustees, visiting ministers and friends of the school. And for the first time the public was given an opportunity at the commencement exercises to contribute toward the new wing THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER FIFFTY-NINTH ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT AT WILBERFORCE UNIV. June 15 will mark the close of a very successful year's work at Wilberforce University, and on that day more than 200 young men and women will complete the prescribed course in the several departments. Notwithstanding the fire and the many hindrances incident to it, 1414 students have registered in all departments outside of the Summer school. Because of the large attendance expected at this commencement the authorities are planning to hold the exercises of the Commencement Day proper on the Shorter Hall campus, weather permitting. All the other features will be held in Galloway Hall as usual. Two big events -will occur on the 15th, which are significant in the life of Wilberforce. As has been previously announced, Hon. Robert Wilberforce, great grandson of the man whose name the institution bears, will deliver the commencement address before the graduating class at 10 o'clock. Mr. Wilberforce of Oxford England, is the director of the British Library of Information in the United States. At 2:30 p. m., Wilberforce Lodge No. 21, Free and Accepted Masons, together with the allied branches of Masonry in the State of Ohio, will lay the cornerstone of the new James A. Shorter Hall. The contract has been let, and the workmen are already busy on the new structure. These two great events will truly mark this commencement as a real Wilberforce Day, and it is but fitting that this should be a home coming occasion to many of the graduates and former students. Bigger and better things are thus promised to the oldest and largest school owned and controlled by Negroes, for the education of men and women of their own race. DISTRICT CONFERENCE OMAHA DISTRICT The District Conference of the Nebraska Conference, Omaha District, will convene at Horton, Kansas, June 28, 29 and 30, with Rev. Fredrick Divers, presiding elder, presiding. Rev. A. E. Hamilton, pastor. The Sunday School convention, Christian Endeavor League and the Woman's Mite Missionary Society, will also be in session, each one of these divisions having distinct programs. Rev. Hamilton and his members, both at Horton and Sabetha, of which he has charge, are making large preparations for the entertainment of the large number of delegates who will attend this session. The funeral of Mr. H. Richard Lowe, 1706 N. Eighth street, was held Sunday afternoon at Pleasant Green Baptist church. Mr. Lowe was one of Kansas City's highly respected citizens and had been a resident of this city for many years. The funeral was in charge of New Era Lodge No. 40, Knights of Pythias and Troop B, Uniform Kank, of Kansas City, Mo. that is to be put up this year and there were $1,000 put down. The president recommended the re-election of all of the old teachers, with additional teachers, which are badly needed. Dr. Griffin was paid a high tribute, by the Board of Trustees, for his excellent service and supervision in the erection of the new Parks hall. Western University is being heralded throughout the country as one of the great institutions of learning in the west and its prospects for the coming scholastic year are brighter than ever before. Number 43 "FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT, ETC." Midnight Tells of What Little Difference Exists Between Cannibals and the Texans Who Barbecue Human Beings. Augusta, Georgia.—"Father forgive them," was the prayer offered by Jesus Christ during his bitter trials while here on earth and I suppose I can pray the same prayer, and then I go just a step beyond and say, "take then down to h—l where they will keep the water hot around and about Hot Springs." I want to go to Heaven when I leave this world, but I am in doubt if the Lord should call me away while I am writing this letter for the devil is in me as big as a house, and the white house in Washington at that. I have been thinking just "d" and "h" and all the other things which the wicked people think and use, and one time I found in my own mind this question, "Whereinthehell is this world coming to?" Lynching, burning, barbecuing, baking and cooking human beings seems to be a pasttime sport in my own country.' The country in whose nation air is termed "the home of the brave and the land of the free." A civilized land, and this I do not doubt, and I would knock the devil out of any human being who called us cannibals, camels or any other kind of man-eating people. We do not eat human beings in our country, and you are a liar if you say so, or even think so. The white people of America just cook them, according to the latest style, then throw away all that cooked up meat. We are a wasteful people. Of course you heard about Waco, Texas, last week. Where a man was accused of crime by a white woman. I believe from all parts of my body, if that man was guilty he should be punished and that punishment should be death, but it should be ascertained that it was a black man, and the right man at that. Punish him, white or black, but be right. But here is a man with a black face, and that is sufficient. He was arrested, carried to the woman, and when she saw a black man she began to scream, to follow, and her father began to shoot, until the man was dead. He was not allowed a word. He was as dead as dead could be, but that was not sufficient. The civilized Americans, the haters of man eaters, went to the undertaker's, got the body, dragged it through the streets, hitched to a motor truck, and then barbecued the lifeless body, and this is what I would call particular hell. I am sure that the President of the United States, who is a good Baptist just like me, will agree with me on this statement and if it were in his power right now he would punish every man who took part in this highly civilized festival. In the face of this do you blame our Canadian neighbors for having a bad opinion of us, and a judge, and just judge at that, for refusing to return Matthew Bullock to such highly civilized people? I belong to a race that loves Old Glory, that would protect it, and follow a charge right into hades itself. I believe that the manhood of Old America will yet assert itself, and them hellums will be put out of business. Good man will put bad man out of business, and we will all serve God. I believe that there is a future for my country, and for my people. Day by day I am seeing so many of our young people filling the public, schools, the colleges, the universities. I can but see that there is a future, but it will take a little (Concluded on Third Page) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. Thos. Knapper Associate Editor MES. M. C. MATTHEWS.

Drexel 2556; THE EDITOR THE PYTHIAN TEMPLE TAX Report of Special Committee on Pythian Temple and Sanitarium Tax We hereby give the attitude of Missouri Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, against paying the Pythian Temple Tax. Some weeks ago The Advocate published a notice of the fact that the Missouri Grand Lodge had been suspended, and in all fairness we give their view of the matter: "The members of the Missouri Pythian Jurisdiction will find in the following resolutions the acts and decisions upon which are based the stand of the Grand Chancellor, A. W. Lloyd, against paying the Pythian Temple Tax into the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A., and A. "By resolutions the Grand Lodge decided in July, 1921, that it was business-like to require of the Supreme Lodge an accounting of the funds invested in the Chicago Pythian Temple Fund, because at the time of creating the Pythian Temple Fund, there was an explicit promise by the Supreme Lodge that it would return to the investors whatever profits were made Instead of doing that, it loaned the money and left us holding the sack Missouri protested, and believing its protest founded both on good business experience and common sense, it continues to demand an accounting before it turns over more of the money gathered from Missouri Pythians In the meanwhile we are holding the money, $4,000.00 of it, ready to act as soon as the desires expressed by the Grand Lodge in the following resolution are complied with." The resolution reads: St Louis, Mo., July 29, 1921. To the Officers, Representatives and Members of the Grand Lodge, Gentlemen: We, your Special Committee to whom was referred that portion of the address of the Grand Chancellor dealing with the National Pythian Temple Sanitarium Tax submit herewith our report. The subject as handled by the Grand Chancellor is reasonable, logical, clear-cut and fearless, as it goes straight to the heart of the proposition. It is not a question of loyalty or fraternalism, but on the contrary as the Grand Chancellor well says, a straight business proposition and thefore it resolved itself into the questions of profit and loss. We heartily agree with the views expressed, and feel that we should demand accord and satisfaction with a full return on the money already invested. The proof presented by the Grand Chancellor that the National Pythian Temple Sanitamrium Department is a stock investment proposition is so clear and convincing, that it leaves no ground for argument. As pointed out, the law itself provides that, after all expenses of maintenance have been paid, the balance shall be prorated among the Grand Lodges and Grand Courts, according to the certificates held by them. Nearly twenty years have passed since the National Pythian Department was organized, and though the property in Chicago purchase for the Temple site has been bringing in a revenue of $500.00 per month for a number of years, we are just as far from the Temple as when we first started. NEW UNDERTAKER READY FOR BUSINESS With Fine Parlors and Show Rooms 312 Nebraska Fraternity Building Can Save You Money Open Day and Night Lady Attendant Phone Baltimore 3623-W J..S. SANDERS UNDERTAKING COMPANY Phone Fairfax 0120 Kansas City, Kansas Your committee feels that there is an evident lack of good faith in the management of this fund; that the Grand Lodge of Missouri like many others collected the tax and paid it over to the Temple Commission in absolute good faith; that the time that has elapsed, and the money that has been collected since the organization of the department have been sufficient to have erected a Temple in Chicago, or any other place. The proof that there has been a surplus, is borne out by the report of Secretary Green of the Commission, which shows voucher No. 354 for $5,000.00 loaned to the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia; $500.00 to the Supreme Lodge and nearly $2,000.00 to the Uniform Rank Department, etc. A balance of $4,125.00 due from D. C., not appearing in report. Much more could be said by your committee, but we feel that enough has been said to true heart and open mind, that Missouri is right, and we propose to stand by our Grand Chancellor in his contention for an accounting for our money, therefore, be it resolved: That the action taken by this Grand Lodge in 1920 on the Pythian Temple Tax. and the same is hereby re-affirmed, and be it further Resolved, that, inasmuch as the matter has been presented to the Supreme Chancellor and thereby made the official property of the Supreme Lodge, that the Supreme Representatives be, and they are hereby instructed to use every effort to bring the Pythian Tax squarely before the Supreme Lodge for action, and. Be it further resolved, that the Grand Chancellor be and is hereby empowered to take all necessary steps to protect the interests of the Jurisdiction of Missouri. Be it further resolved: That each Supreme Representative be furnished a copy of these resolutions as his instructions on the National Pythian Temple Tax, and that a cipy be furnished the Grand Court Order of Calanthe.

The funeral will be held from First A. M. E. church, but we had not been able, when we went to press, to ascertain the time. Friday, June, 9, 1922 TO THE LODGES, TEMPLES, AND JUVENILES U. B. F. & S. M. T. As Past Grand Master of Kansas Jurisdiction, I am writing to you all to give you my opinion of what ought to be done. Whereas, we have two sets of Grand Officers of the United Brothers of Friendship in Kansas Jurisdiction; and, Whereas, these two sets of officers have gone into the courts to settle this controversy and confusion; and, Whereas, the judge of court said he could not settle the matter in court, and that it should be settled in the Grand Lodge; and, Whereas, this is his decision for the Grand Lodge to settle it, seems to be the thing to do for all the Lodges and Temples of this jurisdiction should petition to the Grand Masters and Deputy Grand Masters to call a Grand Lodge to meet in July on Tuesday before the third Sunday,1922, that we might settle this controversy, for this confusion between the two sets of officers' is stopping the progress of the Order in general. I know that Dr. Miller says he will do whatever the Lodges say they want done, and Mr. Bettis and his Deputy say the same. Now, Lodges and Temples, let us try by petitioning to them to call a Grand Lodge on the above mentioned date. For no one can settle this trouble but the Grand Lodge of Kansas Jurisdiction. Mr. Bettis' Grand Lodge meets in August; Dr. Miller's in September—let us ask both to meet in July. I remain Yours in Justice. Mercy and Truth. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors, Rev. Bowren and Rev. Davis for the consoling words, sympathy and kindness extended us during the illness and at the passing of our beloved brother, Joseph Herndon. We are indeed grateful for the beautiful floral offerings.—Emma Herndon, Sister; Mr. and Mrs. George Davis, Sister and Brother; Julius Herndon, Brother; Julius Davis, Nephew.

About 50 white people were present The play taught a good lesson in morals. Mr. E. R. Milton as Every Youth, did well and all did well, but Miss Boltinghouse as Trouble, was especially fine as was Miss O. Craddock, the soloist. Many thanks to the players and may they come again to help our church.

I. E. BRADLEY, JR., Attorney for Plaintiff (First published May 26, 1922) THE KANSAS CITY, KANS, ADVOCATE BASEBALL time to reach it. The man of today who comes fresh from college, who is taught that manhood is not color, that God never made a superior or inferior race, but has left it to man alone to determine his place on earth, and he can be man superior or man inferior, just as he elects. That greatness is not a legacy handed down to the white man, but to all men made in the image of God, he will determine "I can and I will." I am made to rejoice day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year, over the rapid progress made by the manhood of this race of mine, and I am thinking more and more that I belong to the human race. I was in Kittrell, N. C., at Kittrell college, and saw that large class graduate, and if you will recall the week before I was in Kinston college, and saw that large class come cut there. I noted that in Kittrell they are going to erect a new building to cost $80,000, and another one is being erected at Allen University costing $115,000 without finishings, I can but rejoice that we are putting on big things. These institutions and men are going to give ignorance and illiteracy a heluva chace, and will run them down, believe me, honey. There is a real man at the head of each college, and I will talk about them in another letter. I have been in touch with men for the past few weeks, and I am still going to come in touch with them. I have been and walked and talked with Berry O'Kelly, one of the greatest men in this country. He is a man in all that is implied in the word. Just now I am in company with a master mind, Dr. G. N. Stoney, Master of Exchequer of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Georgia, one of the proprietors of the Lenox theatre, which is one of the largest of its kind in this country owned and operated by my people, and he is part owner of the Lenox Bakery, which is another great enterprise in Augusta, and you will find him in everything that means the moral and intellectual and spiritual and financial uplift of my people. I have been talking about Dr. G. N. Stoney, but up to this time I have not said to you that he is one of the greatest physicians in this country. He is just kept busy all the time, and he has kept a good many people here on this earth when they had been labeled for Heaven or the other place. He is a man of worth and an inspiration to our young people. All of this he is a Christian gentleman, and not too busy to take part in church affairs. We need such, a man to help our people up in life, and he is doing his part. I have not seen Dr. S. X. Floyd since I have been in town, but will see him, and I will have something to say to you in my next letter about other things. I expect to be at the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias in this state, and just now I am on my way to Texas for such a meeting. I had a birthday Sunday. May 28. J. O. MIDNIGHT. MME.

Phone: Fifield 5112W Services at First Baptist church were opened in the usual way by the convening of the Sabbath school at 10:30 a.m., with Sister Buelah Fisher, superintendent, in charge. The very interesting lesson on how the evil forces may be best fought with success after which Rev. A. C. Kyles preached a very touching sermon from these words: "For the son of men is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19-10. He sought to show how the servants of Christ are expected to show to the world the real existence of Christ's spirit in them, thereby reaching out to unconverted the saving efficacy of Christ to others. The Lord's supper was then administered with due solemnity, giving rise to the intention of this ordinance as being a taking on of new life and vigor. Covenant meeting at 3 o'clock p. m., was well attended and fittingly observed and we frankly acknowledge the spirit of the Holy Ghost in the meeting. We were pleased to note the presence of these visitors with us at our morning and mid-day services: Rev. and Mrs. Jones, Brother and Sister Cline of Kansas City, Kan.; Deacons Harmon and Underwood of King Solomon Baptist church, Kansas City, Kan. Mr. Charles Fisher visited brother, Thomas Fisher, in Grandview Sunday. Captain G. Thomas, who has been engaged in slum work in the State of Missouri for over 25 years, was a welcome visitor with us Sunday night, sounding the alarm of warning to young men and women to be constrained from evil. Services at M. E. church were conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. Hamilton. The pastor preached in the morning from Jude 9 verse, He used as a subject, "Saintly Building," with the intended purpose of showing his hearers that God has no desire to take away from anyone nothing substantial that the person builds himself. In the evening he used for a text Ezekial 3-22, associating with it the subject, "God's interview with Man." This prophet has been rightfully called the prophet of mysteries and the process of the discourse tended to awake men to the fact that God himself is mystery in so much that he is past finding out. All who know God and have within them His spirit are such concealed beings through His grace until the outside world wonders where his protection comes from. Sister Sarah Jane Hill has added a very neat summer kitchen to her home, which may be torn down some day by the storm between her and Miss Dorothy Jane over getting the dishes washed. Dorothy Jane is quite set with the idea that they should not be, but Sister Sarah Jone is positive they shall. We are watching with interest the outcome of this combat. Mike Banks is constructing a building with one story and basement to be used for commercial purposes at the corner of Armour boulevard. Mr. Banks is a successful man in his undertakings and we feel safe in saying this step he is taking will not only be a credit to himself but to the community as well. Forrest B.

Fairfax 3185 --- that Christianity and humanity, from which spring the highest motives, as well as enlightenment, self-interest, demand that in so far as possible the native and coloured races should be so equipped mentally morally and industrially, that they may never become a menace to the peace and prosperity of South Africa, but always prove a source of happiness and blessing. This can be accomplished by making the humblest man to feel that he is granted full protection of the law and that right living and honest endeavour will have their rewards whether this man be European or non-European.

Curtain, 8:15 and on the farms he is absolutely indispensable. He will become a better labouror if he is made an intelligent labourour. His presence will at all times mean security to his employers and the people of the country generally if he is given an opportunity to accumulate something for himself and become the possessor of property, thus feeling a little more and more his responsibility and duty as a citizen of South Africa. No man can go forward for ever trying to hold another man down. I find the native who is educated has his ideas of what is due to his people, and while he may not outwardly agitate he will inwradly cogigate. If he becomes restless, sullen, and discontented, the State loses rather than gains. He can go among his people, and because of his superior training and advantage, be listened to, and in his and their language spread views that do no good. Skilled Trades for Natives To my mind, the establishment of industrial schools in South Africa for the native where the latter could not only receive training, but where he could acquire a knowledge of skilled trades, would mean toward fitting him for useful service to himself and his fellows. I believe also that a closer and better understanding between the various denominational groups in every missionary endeavor would greatly strengthen the hands of the Government and the people generally in their efforts to better the conditions among the native races. If the leaders of the various denominations are suspicious of each other, or feel that there is likely to be an encroachment on the mission grounds of others, then we have duplication, opposition, misunderstanding, and unnecessary endeavor. There are millions to be reached, and for many generations to come there will be work for all to do in the matter of evangelization and education. "I believe the best minds of Europeans, those who honestly desire a correct solution of the problem, should get into touch with the educated, sensible native. I think that questions affecting us should be discussed frankly, without reservation and without suspicion. I am sure that many things will be brought to light relative to the mental attitude of the natives that are now hidden because of his fear that to tell the truth will lead him into difficulties. I believe that such a course will mean the evolving of a policy that will prove a blessing to all of the present generation and those to come. Unless an effort is made along these lines, to my mind it simply means driving further apart the European leaders and the native elements of South Africa. This divergence of views can only lead to complications in the future. Peace will come by united effort in which each is willing to be considerate. The European may probably not feel that he can concede everything the native desires at once. The native leader must be willing to understand that great cities are not built in a day. As long, however, as the native leader can see that better conditions are coming to his people, that improvement is being made in the situation, whether in the cities, in the mines, or on the farms, that the native is in a greater measure receiving the rewards of his toil, that efforts are be- ing made to provide education for his children, so that they will become decent citizens, that he does have a chance to secure a home and own some land, then I believe a better spirit will come, and where there is discord, discontent, suspicion and distrust, there will be peace, harmony, happiness, and prosperity." Our representative discussed with the Bishop the question of prohibition. "Prchibition in America has come to stay," emphatically declared the reverend gentleman. "Those of us who observe the distress of mothers and wives, the nakedness and hunger of of children, and the prodigacy and utter ruin of countless thousands of men, are deeply grateful that we have prohibition legislation. Since prohibition became an assured fact, there is less drunkenness in America, banking accounts are increasing, house buying has become more universal, more children are in the public schools, crime has decreased, and the social fabric generally has improved and society elevated. Here and there there may be a law-breaker in the liquor trade, but the Government officials are firmly revolved that these law-breakers must go. As an American coloured man aside from my calling as a minister of the Church, preaching temperance, I rejoice to see the liquor traffic abolished. It has meant much for the American Negro; it will mean as much, if not more, for the native people of South Africa. "To my mind nothing would be more fatal to progress of the native than to give him facilities for the purchase and sale of liquor. It would mean that a race of people who are farthest behind in the matter of education, wealth, and advantages, will have an evil handicap which would be constantly dragging him further down, with the restraints of the law, language, and tribal restrictions passing away as they emerge from the darkness into the light, and cross over from heathenism to the customs, and temptations of civilization, they would go down for all time. There may be those who would begin to argue about personal liberty and a man's right to do as he pleases with his own money, but it is the right of those who see the light to bring the light to others. There is a higher and nobler right, and that is to protect the unfortunate and weaker brother even from himself. No man can afford to see another going to destruction and fail to call a halt to the unfortunate victim's self-destruction. No matter how much money may be gained by licensed traffic in iqor, nothing can compensate for the loss of self-respect, self-esteem, morals, and common decency that naturally ensues. To my mind, an appalling situation will come when our native people in South Africa are encouraged in the sale and purchase of drink." Finally, speaking of his impressions of Kimberley, Bishop Vernon said: "I have found the Europeans quite sympathetic and obliging. The coloured and native people have been most hospitable and kind. Their condition, if not the best, is quite the equal to that of any of our people in South Africa. They betray so much of the characteristics of the American Negro as to make one quite comfortable and at home among them. They are thoroughly progressive and an asset to the race. In ambition, high ideals, race loyalty, property acquisition, and those things that make for progress they are unsurpassed by any of our race group in South Africa." Bishop Vernon, who is accompanied by his family, is visiting Kimberley for the first time. He is a citizen of Kansas, U. S. A., is giving close scrutiny to conditions in South Africa, and is especially anxious about the work of the Episcopal Diocese of South Africa. He, with his famliy, is spending a few days in the city, attending a district conference, and a missionary meeting, and is looking forward to greater missionary effort in the future.
