Vol. VIII JOIN WORK WAS DONE AT CONFERENCE WITH DISPATCH Rev. J. F. Griffin Elected to Preside in the Place of Deceased P. E.—Bishop Parks Opened Session The District Conference, Sunday School, W. M. Missionary and Allen C. E. League convention of the Kansas City District of the Nebraska Conference held its annual session at the A M. E. church, Bonner Springs, Kansas, Rev. E. J. Eatman, pastor. On account of the absence of the late Dr. A. C. Terrell, presiding elder of the District, The Right Rev. H. Blanton Parks, presiding bishop of the Fifth Episcopal diocese, officiated in the opening service. Rev. J. F. Griffin conducted the devotional service, after which the bishop consecrated and administered the sacrament, which was filled with fecity and inspiration. At the close of this service the good Bishop Parks in a very timely and impressive manner, as only the bishop can, reminded the members of the conference of the absolute necessity of exercising faith in God as we go about our Christian duties He gave a very apt and short definition of faith, i.e., "Assurance." This he said was the Christian's protection and salvation and in a very descriptive way illustrated his definition. The bishop then officially announced that the Rev. J. F. Griffin, D.D., pastor of First Church, Kansas City, Kansas, had been appointed to act as presiding elder to finish the unexpired term of the late Dr A. C. Terrell of the Kansas City District Dr. Griffin was received with a hearty ovation by the Conference. After some salutary remarks, Dr. Griffn very touchingly spoke in the highest terms of our, deceased Dr. Terrell as a high class Christian minister, a pioneer, a worker even until death. He was indeed "God's man." The chairman minutely and most enthusiastically outlined the progress on educatiinal work at Western University. He informed the Conference that the new Park's Hall addition was nearing completion and plans were being perfected to begin on the new wing about the last of July next. This informatiin was received with hearty applause and approval by the Conference. The chairman proceeded to organize the Conference. Rev. W. C. Knight was elected secretary. The roll was called and the following ministers and Conference delegates answered to their names: St. Luke, Kansas City, Kansas, Rev. J. W. Watts, pastor; Mr. Walter McClelland, lay delegate. Bonner Springs, Rev. E. J. Eatman, pastor; C. C. Hill and T. A. Harris, delegates. Oskaloosa, Tonganoxie, Rev. J. W. Gillespie, pastor; J. A. Jariott and Mrs. Mattie Caldwell, delegates. Leavenworth, T. D. Scott, pastor; Mr. Walker, delegate. Allen Chapel, Rev. M. C. Knight, pastor. Grant Mission, Rev. J. W. Green, pastor. Armourdale, Kansas City, Kansas, Rev. J. W. Miller, pastor. First A. M. E. church, Kansas City, Kansas. Rev. J. F. Griffin, pastor; Thomas Kennedy, delegate. delegates were absent: Rosedale, Rev. H. Judkins. Argentine, Rev. J. A. Broadnax. Eudora Circuit, Rev. A. H. Demoss. Bethel Mission Circuit, Rev. S. D. Rhone. Mr. E. J. Landor, Quindaro, and Rev. Robinson, lay delegate Bethel Circuit, Kansas City, Kansas. Most of these came later. Mr. Walter McClelland and Mr. Walker were elected marshals of conference. Mr. Thomas Kennedy and Rev M. C. Knight were appointed reporters to the papers. After all committees had been duly appointed, the chairman showed his ability to preside, as well as his intense interest in the work by asking each minister to report number of converts, number of accessions, number of probationers, number of full members, amount of Easter Day money, education money, missionary money and contingent money. To this the ministers gladly assented and proceeded to do. And when all reports had been handed in, it showed a total number of converts, 142; accessions, 207. Total membership of Kansas District, 2198 Total amount of Easter Day money, education money, $910.65; our assessment, $867. $43.65 over our assessment and more to come, which, with all of this, the good bishop was delighted. When Rev. D. C. Miller read his report from Armstrong and informed the Conference that through the aid of our beloved Bishop Parks, he had been able to purchase a church house, properly seated, entirely completed and all improvements and assessments paid. The bishop injected much enthusiasm into the Conference when he informed the Conference that two hundred dollars had been drawn from the missionary treasury to purchase and make the first payment on the Armstrong property and that two hundred dollars more woud be drawn to assist Bethel Mission in erecting a new edifice in Kansas City, Kansas. All of this, he said, was made possible by our portion of the percent money paid in at the annual conference. He urged each individual to pay his dollar money this year. Because of pressing business Bishop Parks could not remain with the Conference but one day. He pronounced the Conference the working bee of the Fifth Episcopal Diocese. Mrs. Alice Brown, Kansas City, Kansas, the Sunday school superintendent, efficiently presided over the Sunday School Convention. Mrs. Browns annual address was an inspiration to the Conference and Convention. The Sunday school reports showed much improvement over the whole district. The papers were well prepared and discussed in the most intelligent and helpful way by all participants. Only one Sunday school failed to report, the Eudora Circuit. The reports from the Sunday school of each charge was made similar to that of the church and Allen C. E. League as well. This simple form made it possible for rapid dispatching of business and every department kept in advance of the printed schedule. Mrs. Alice M. Brown was reelected superintendent of the Sunday School Convention and Miss Mae McClelland recording secretary. Too much credit cannot be given Mrs. L. A. McCampbell for the Christ-like manner in which she presided over the Womans Mite Missionary Convention. She proved a worthy president in every sense of the term. From the time that she was tendered the executive chair Thursday at 11:30 a.m., until the close of the convention at 5:30 p. m., she had the cars of the convention. Her message of salutation and greetings was received with much appreciation (Concluded on Fourth Page) ANNOUNCEMENT WEST END PHARMACY FIRST ANNIVERSARY OPENING MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1922 7 P. M. TO 12 P.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE STATE OF KANSAS I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of State Superintendent of Insurance; subject to the Republican Primaries August 1, 1922.

Roberts, on Nebraska avenue, is said to be some better. Mrs. S. Rollins has returned from Iowa, and says her daughter is better. Number 44 Yet, J. O. Midnight Asserts the Race Should Not Beg Others Not to Strike Us, But Be Prepared. San Antonio, Texas.—It is not you, but it is me this week that stands in need of prayer, and I hope that you are praying for me that I may get out without being burned or shot to death, or dragged through the streets behind an automobile car carriage truck or any of the other instruments used to put to death human beings whose crime is largely belonging to the race of which I am a member. I do not want to say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, hence I must say that all the white people of Texas are not bad nor all of them good, and the same thing will apply to my race, but put it down that I told you that we are getting our hell right down here on earth, and when we leave this world we will be fully ripe for the kingdom. I am anxious that every member of my race shall get in touch with Jesus Christ. Get on the right road that leads to Heaven, and then go right on doing the right and contending for their manhood and womanhood rights. We want to avoid all race clashes when it can be done in a manly way. There are some things we can even concede, but we don't want to be begging any man not to strike "poor down trodden colored men," but let the colored man, black man, Negro man and every other kind of man stand up erect and no other man can trod you down. If you are down and satisfied to stay down, of course you are going to be walked on. But then, in the face of all the lynching, burning, killing, I want my people to have a little more faith in Jesus, and hold up their heads, for it will never do to become discouraged. I heard some people talking something about an Old Moses law. I don't know what it is, but they tell me that unless this lynching business is stopped it will be called from its sleeping grave and put in practice. It will be so after while that to arrest a black man may mean the shedding of blood, for he will get in his mind that to be arrested means death, and "I will tote a few with me when I go up in smoke." I do not like to think evil, for I believe in Jesus Christ. He is my life and my salvation, and I am willing to trust him until I die. As for death, let it come today or tomorrow, I am ready. I keep my baggage packed for Heaven all the time, so that when he comes for me I will be ready. I am preaching the gospel of peace all the time, and the other gospel of turn the other cheek, and after that has been smitten also, then I stop there, and will leave it to the other fellow just what steps to take. If he don't know that I have too much Jesus in me to tell him. I am just full of future matters, especially education, because I have seen the things which will inspire any human being You see I have been seeing some of getting education business, and when I see these young people get out of school, deliver orations, hold up the world in one hand and the future in the other, I just feel like shouting, and shout I must. I have told you about that large number of graduates at Kittrell college; Kittrell, N. C. (Concluded on Third Page) MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. IF EVER, IT'S NOW If ever there was a time when the colored race should love and be of one accord, it is now. There should be solidarity of purpose, that could not be torn apart, under any circumstances. It seems to be a time when but little consideration of respect from superior humanity is given an honest and weaker race. It should not be so, but it is and every day shows a hand of still greater crushing intentions towards a loyal and kindly disposed people. May we think seriously about the future of our posterity, who will in a very few years have to battle with these problems. Is it the will of the father and mother and other thinking citizens of the race, to die and not try to make the way, the opening, the opportunity of less burdensome for the coming generation? We are too easily muzzled and bribed by some diamond-eyed gold brick race lover What opportunity has that boy or girl, whose parents sacrificed for years to see them finish our high schools and universities? Are we trying to make an opening for them? We can only do it by hanging together and supporting one aother, like the other races do and then and not until then can we ever expect to be a factor of notice and recognition to the full extent of citizenship. A. C. CARTWRIGHT OUT FOR STATE OFFICE Mr. A. C. Cartwright, superintendent of the Kansas City district of an insurance company located at Atchison, Kansas, announces in this issue of The Advocate, his candidacy for the office of State Superintendent of Insurance. Mr. Cartwright probably is the only colored superintendent of an insurance company operated by white men, any place in the west, which is complimentary to any man, white or colored. He therefore is fully qualified and big enough for the office he seeks. As to his politics, he is a one hundred per cent Republican and equally so, as an American citizen. He is thorough in the insurance business and if elected, the citizens of Kansas can have the full assurance that the old Sunflower State will have one official that knows his business and this department will be taken care of in a straight, honest, business way. Mr. Cartwright stands high with all classes and all races and should draw strongly from every class and kind. As an American citizen and a loyal party man, his nationality should have nothing to do with his fitness. But let those of his own kin see to it that he is taken care of when they cast their vote on the First day of August. Prof. J. A. Hodge was elected Monday night as a delegate to the N. A. A. C. P. National meeting, which meets in Newark,N.J.,the 18th of this month. Prof. Hodge is principal of Sumner High school. He is worthy and will represent the local branch and the West in the highest manner. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

Dear Editor: Please allow us space in your valable paper for an article about our new church at Lyons, Kansas. Sunday, June 4 was a grand day in this quiet little city for the A. M. E. church. The first and only Negro church in this city was dedicated on that day. Rev. R. C. Henderson of Hutchinson, and his vested choir of sixteen voices motorel over and rendered great service to the delight of all present. The choir marched in chanting "Holy, Holy, Holy," after which Rev. E. W. Smith of Arkansas City very impressively introduced the speaker of the day, Rey. Henderson, who selected for his text, "He walked with God," Genesis 5-22, and from which he held the audience spellbound with a most wonderful sermon. Presiding Elder J. H. Nichols of Wichita, then led in fervent prayer. Rev. Cross, pastor of the Christian church, white, then paid a glowing tribute to the pastor of the new church, Rev. Henry Clayton, for the splendid work accomplished in the past eighteen months. Think of it! Eighteen months ago this congregation did not even own a lot, and now, with a membership of nine, and a colored population of about 60 persons they have completed and dedicated a beautiful little chapel. Rev. Cross then made an appeal to the congregation and they gave an offering of $351.75. Excellent remarks were made by the pastors of the other churches. The choir then sang "The Church is Moving Onward," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Each number was greeted with heartiest applause. The dedicational service was ably conducted by Presiding Elder Nichols. Visitors were present from Great Bend, St. John, Sterling, Hutchinson and surrounding towns. After the services the ladies served a delicious basket dinner, which was enjoyed by all. The visitors were enthusiastic in their praise of the cordiality extended to them. HENRY CLAYTON. Pastor; MISS A. M. STRADER. Reporter.

HARRIS Guarded by two United States government cutters, the Pacific seal herd is moving from the South Pacific to the summer rendezvous on the Phibilof Islands in the middle of Berling Sea. This is the only herd known to be in existence with the exception of a small colony that summers on the Commander Islands, off the coast of Kamchatka, Siberia. After une 15 the herd will have passed into Behring Sea and three other coast guard vessels will then maintain a rigid guard there. Soldiering is an expiring profession in Germany. Many former army officers are doing menial work. Droskies, taxis and other horse-drawn vehicles in Germna cities are being driven by former commissioned officers. Common soldiers in the ranks are faring better than their officers. Thousands of soldiers turned to agriculture and trades for a living but the officers, who had made a career of the army, had no other training to make a livelihood. "Do you remember the old stories about the boy who went to the great city and came back just in time to pay off the mortgage on the farm?" "Yes," replied Farmer Corntossel, "It's different now. When a boy leaves the farm the home folks have to hold themselves in readiness to go to town and help him out with his rent and his grocery bill." According to a German official document published recently, the number of submarines lost by that government during the war was 199, including boats sunk, interned and epatured. "I asked you to send me young lettuce." "Yes, ma'am. Wasn't it young you got?" "Young- It's almost old enough to wash and dress itself."

For 45 states given the total assessed value of all real and personal property is $83,202,153,672. For each state the per cent of assessed to true value is given and ranges from 15% to 100%, resulting in an estimate of true value of all taxable property in the 45 states of $138,115,575,095—an average of $3,069,235,000 per state. The three states omitted are California, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Adding 10 billion dollars (something over the average) for the three omitted states we have a total "true valuation" of all the taxable real and personal property in the United States at $148,115,575,095.

MIDNIGHT (UODLUIDUCE LLU) a tot A OECT |and then followed Allen Uni- versity, Columbia, S. C.; and Morris Brown University, At- 'lanta, Ga., and Paul Quinn col- lege, Waco, Texas, the last named place is where they burned a man after he was dead a few weeks ago, I will just say praise the Lord. At the head of all these schools are strong men, men who deal with things, and men who know how to do things. Men who are trusting the fu- ture, and pointing to our young people the way to prosperity and God. But my last school was the State Normal School, Montgomery, Alabama, where they had more than a quarter of a hundred to graduate, and they are putting out a larger program to do larger and big- ger things in the future. The school where we find Prof. G. W. Threnholm, one of the best men in our country, and a man with wonderful ability as a school leader. He is, not a man who was born with a sil- ver spoon in his mouth, nor a golden egg on which he could hatch gold, but he came from that humble home, and got a vision. He came in touch with that Master Mind, William Hooper Councill, and believe me he is doing things in great style. Just as Councill put Normal on the map so is Prof. Treholm putting Monegomery State Normal on the map and there is a strong class turned out this year ard another is in the incu- bator for next year and still others will follow. What is remarkable about this all, Prof. Trenholm has right by his side his own son, who went to public school, Mcrehouse college, put on his finishing touch at the Univer- sity of Chicago, and still his head is normal, and he is mak- ing friends as well as doing good work. On this merit this young man is making his place, and not because his father is at the head of a school. Prof. Harper Trenholm will make his own place. I love to refer to Miss Bertha Smith and Mrs. Govan, as they are favorites of mine in the school room. Mrs. Govan took on a diploma, and Miss Smith is going to make a desree from Columbia Univer- sity, New York City. She is a deserving young woman. From Montgomery, I made it down to New Orleans, and there I talked with Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, who is one of the great men of our race, and a strong advocate for right. A man who will do his duty and leave the rest with Ged. He is a true leader of men. There are many people who know him from Topeka, Kan- sas, last year when the Su- treme Lodge met, and the ju- risdiction of Missouri was defi- ant, woud not obey the law, and they were excluded from the meeting, because they were without the pass word. But Grand Chancellor Lloyd and his men went to a judge, and asked for a pass word, and while the judge did not know the semi- annual word issued by the Su- preme Chancellar he issued a substitute, and it was vrecog- nized, and Lloyd and his crowd entered the hall with smiles that were a challenge to the Gold Dust Twins: They re- mained in during the entire ses- sion, but I note that they have been suspended now, and what will they do? The pabetiate issued by a judge will not work today, and now big men ought to learn that they should obey the Jaw as well as little men, THE KANSAS CITY, KANS, ADVOCATE League, in Norfolk Va., and | am sure that you are also get- ting ready. It is going to be a big session, and many ‘things will be said there to inspire us all. Dean L. B. Moore is now representing the League, and he may call on you. He has just been appointed. I am sure that you heard about Hon. Emmett Jay Scott resigning the position of Secretary? He ‘has been succeeded by Albion L. Holsey, who was the asisst- ant secretary. Mr. Scott had too much to do at Howard Uni- versity, and this is why he re- signed. I think I will ask them to elect me secretary. I cannot write god enough for that, so I will just continue as a floor member. I have some other things I want to say to you. I have been to Crowley, La.; Houston, Texas, and find that Mme. M. A. Franklin has made it to Chicago in her new automobile, and they are getting ready to establish a manufacturing plant there They are going to do business in Texas and in Chicago—in fact all over the United States. I will tell you 1nore about them in my next. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

The delegates and members of the convention caught the spirit of work and in this department as all others the rapidity with which they dispatched business was marked by the keen interest shown on the part of each member and delegate. The reports showed that each local society had been at work as never before for the cause of missions. When all reports were handed in and the funds recapitulated, there was a total of $249.96 for missions with three more months to annual conference. God bless our Missionary women- Mrs. Woodfork of First Church, Kansas City, Kansas, proved her ability in the management of the Juvenile department of the Missionary by having the members of the Juvenile society of First Church, Kansas City, Kansas, render a program, which was highly enjoyed by all. The little folks, twelve in number, were trained in every way. Little Mis Bernice Wilson, 13 years old, proved to be the song bird of the society and convention also, for that matter. Truly she is the sweet singer in Israel. Mrs. L. A. McCampbell was re-elected president of the Woman's Mite Missionary societies of the Kansas City, Kansas district; Mrs. J. F. Griffin was re-elected treasurer. The Allen Christian Endeavor Convention was presided over Rev. M. C. Knight, both district and conference president. This, as all other departments in the Conference, was full of like, tact, ability and work. High class papers, songs and discussions were the marked feature of the session. Many of the young people contributed a wealth of information and food for thought to the convention. The president, along with the acting presiding elder recommended that the Sunday school and Allen Christian Endeavor League have a three days session together, apart from the District and Woman's Mite Missionary convention next year, which was adopted by the conference. District convention contingent fund, $64.46; Sunday school contingent, $26.13; A. C. E. League contingent, $13.81; W. M. M. society contingent, $15.40. Grand total, $119.80. Thus closes another epoch of one of the most successful little District Conferences in the A. M. E. connection. Dr. Griffin and his group of ardent ministers, with their chieftain, The Right Rev. H. B. Parks, cannot be given too much credit for this little branch's success. During the session we were honored with the following distinguished visitors: Rev. J. S. Payne, P. E., Kansas City, Mo.. District of the Southwest Missouri Conference; Rev. J. C. C. Cwens, pioneer and presiding elder of the Parsons District of the Kansas Conference; Mrs. Katherine Tillman, editress of the Missionary Recorder; Rev. and Mrs. T. W. Green, of Lawrence, Kans.; Rev. Davis, Oklahoma, now at Western University; Prof. G. A. Gregg, secretary of the Paseo Y. M. C. A., Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Butler, Sunday School superintendent of the Parsons District, and Mrs. L: G. Terrell, the widow of the late presiding elder of this district, Rev. A. C. Terrell. Ministers who preached during the session: Rev. S. D. Rhone preached the annual sermon the evening of the first day's session; Rev. J. W. Williams, evening of second day's session; Rev. M. C. Knight the closing sermon, evening of the third day's session. Rev. E. J. Eatman and his congregation made for themselves a place in our church in the kind and hospitable manner in which they took care of the conference. Rev. Eatman is doing a solendid work and is much loved by his people. "On to Annual Conference and over the top for education" is the slogan of the Kansas City District. MISS CRUMP OPENS STUDIO Miss Crump, a teacher of piano, has opened her studio at 705 Georgia avenue. She will teach piano, harmony, sight singing and ear training and history of music. The University of Kansas methods will be used. Phone Fifield 1802-R. METROPOLITAN Although the weather was very warm, a large congregation gathered at this House of God to worship and hear Dr. E. I., Harrison expound the Gospel. After Assistant Pastor Royston opened the service, Dr. Harrison began and preached a wonderful sermon. When some saints found themse'ves they were shouting and trying to fly to Heaven. After the sermon several came forward and spoke. A Russian spoke for Christ, and Mrs. Messley invited our members to afDr. S. M. Vas's Bible lectures at First Baptist church in July. Attorney D. Henderson asked for a collection to assist in prosecuting the asailant of the little 8-year-old colored girl. The N. A. A. C. P. will lead in the prosecution. This church has given more than $10 before and gave $10 this time, making over $20 given. At 8 p. m., Dr. Harrison preached again from St. Mark VI 4-5-6, "A Prophet is Not Without Honor, but in his own country and among his own kin and in his own house." Subject, "Belief." It was another of the excellent sermons God has endowed him with talent to deliver. So many were present they had to sit in the balcony. They enjoyed hearing him as usual. He also spoke of some people being jealous of men and women that can do something they can't do. The choir song nicely and one song about "Shine, even though you are assailed," was requested by Dr. Harrison, to be repeated. Some came forward and testified for Jesus. The Sunday school had fine Children's day program. also the B. Y. P. U.. The B.. Y. P. U. are to go on a hay ride this, Friday, night. It is only 10 cents to go, and all are invited. Next Sunday, June 18, Dr. Harrison will preach at both services. Each member is asked to bring $3. All friends are invited to hear this wonderful preacher. Mr. Williams, on Winona, attended church Sunday. Mr. H. F. Stotts, 223 Stewart avenue, is visiting relatives and friends through the South and will be gone several weeks.
