THE NEW ONE-HALF MILLION DOLLAR SHORTER HALL AT WILBEROFRCE UNIVERSITY, WILBERFORCE, OHIO, WHICH WILL BE DEDICATED AT ITS NEXT COMMENCEMENT IN JUNE
KANSAS
Mrs. Lizzie Dudley was Found Dead in Weed Patch Last Sunday Morning—Police at Sea as to Murderer. The name of Lizzie Dudley, 25 years old, was added to the long list of colored women who have been shot and killed under mysterious circumstances within the last year in Kansas City, when George Chess, patrolman, found the body last Sunday morning in a weed patch near Eighth street and the Northwestern tracks.
Henry Smyth and John Mogle, detectives, assigned to the cases, say that peculiar facts that have related to each of these murders seemingly have linked them all and talk has been revived in police circles of a heartless murderer who lusts for the blood of colored women.
Each of the five colored women killed before the Dudley woman went to her death in the weed patch, were shot in the left temple and examination of the body of the Dudley woman reveals that she, also, was shot in the left temple.
In one particular, however, some of the attendant facts of the other murders differ from that of the Dudley woman. The shoes and stockings of each of the others were removed and carried away, and the police never found trace of them.
Two of the other murdered women were found in a desolate and remote section of Argentine; two others were found in wild places adjacent to the old city of Rosedale and the fifth body was found under shrubbery on the direct route to the "crooks' graveyard" near Nearman. The police have been able to make but little headway in solving the mystery of the latest death. Beyond the fact that Mrs. Dudley left her home at 1709 North Eighth street about 7:30 o'clock Saturday night and that a single shot was heard several hours later from the general direction of the weed patch, they have learned nothing, they say. Wheeler Dudley, husband of the woman, was questioned by the police, but was unable to throw any light on the murder, according to the detectives.

AN APPRECIATION
Kansas City, Kans., Oct. 12, Dear Mrs. Lyons, 1210 Ann Avenue, City. You will, perhaps, be surprised to receive this letter, but I have thought so much during the week, of the pleasure brought to us old people on last Sunday, October 8, home coming day, at First A. M. E. church. I want to express my gratitude and I believe I speak for all who participated in your repast, which was excellent and bountiful. But what we think of most, is the spirit of love and regard for those so near life's end. I feel that with such work the good Lord is highly pleased. Every one was so kind and wore a smile of welcome, although tired. The men who drove the cars were patient and careful. It is glorious to remember that what we sow, we shall reap.
Please extend our thanks to the members of the Pastor's Aid Board and every one who assisted.
May the Lord ever bless you is my prayer.
MRS. S. A. BLAND,
617 New Jersey Avenue,
Kansas City, Kansas.

(Western Christian Recorder)
To the Bishops, General Officers, Presiding Elders, Pastors, Members and Friends of the A. M. E. Church and Alumni of Wilberforce University.
Greetings:
The main building at Wilberforce University, built by Bishops Payne and Shorter in 1865, 57 years ago, burned down on last December 7. By request of the Executive Board in session at Wilberforce, I was asked to hire an architect and prepare plans for rebuilding, and to have general charge of the processes of reconstruction. Everything was ready by the latter part of April, at which time, the executive board met again, approved the plans, and voted the contract to D. W. McGrath & Sons of Co-
MIDNIGHT'S
MELANGE
Texarkana, Arkkansas-Texas. This is a wonderful world and we have some wonderful people in it. As a race, we have contributed our share to this wonderfulness, and we are still doing it, and I am constantly finding it out and as I come up on things I do not hesitate in telling you about it, for I am sure you are interested in what I am doing and saving to the race.
When I tok my pen in hand to write to you last week, I was with the Rev. Dr. I. P. Isaacs, pastor of Allen Chapel, in Kansas City, and had an Old Aunt Doly time there with him, his wife, his brother-in-law, his wife and two daughters, and all the other good people there. and I thank God that I had the pleasure of visiting them. At the same time I was under Dr. J. Edward Perry, who is regarded as one of the very best surgeons and physicians in this country, and I am sure that all the race is proud of him and the wonderful work he is doing. He is one of the wonders I was telling you about when I started out, and I will find others.
I did not get around so very much, but what getting around I did I just did and there was no getting away from it. I heard some sermons, some lectures, some prayers, some talks, and met some people.
I had the pleasure of seeing the new home of the Kansas City Call, and found that Editor Franklin was just putting his brains on paper, and he is going to give his readers a good paper before he is through with it. I congratulate him on the new home he has purchased for his baby, "Miss Call," and believe me she is going to be one more talking woman in the future. While he is a busy man, yet he informed me that his automobile was at my use at any time. I desired it. I thank him now through this paper.
You heard, about how them women up there in Kansas City is doing some real shooting. I tell you, honey, you had bet (Continued on Page 4)
lumbus, Ohio, for reconstruction, at a primary cost of $271,600.00. The changes in extras in the building will run the cost to $300,000.00. It is to be a fireproof building, built of brick, stone, concrete, steel and iron, including the cellar and roof. The extreme length is $213½ feet, extreme width $165½ feet, height, 5 stories. The building contains offices for the university executives, 26 class rooms for college students, including commodious Music and Science departments, dining hall, seating capacity for 1,000, auditorium, seating capacity 2,500, dormitory, rooms for 450 girls. Strictly modern and sanitary. It will be the finest, most expensive, and commodious college building, built by or for Negroes in the world. The building is to be finished by the first day of next June. In it, we expect to hold our next commencement.
Washington, Oct. 12.—Congress is to be convened in extraordinary session on November 20. President Harding will issue the call immediately after election. He means to drive the ship subsidy bill through and while the house is wrestling with that the senate will be expected to put the anti-lynching bill over.
"The caling up of the latter measure comes as a complete and not particularly surprise to the average legislator, who is as skittish about this as about the ship subsidy, but for the sake of the negro vote in Ohio and other Northern states certain pledges were made and it is the intention to redeem these as soon as possible," it is asserted.

The Freshman High School club held a weinie roast at City park Wednesday afternoon, where various games were played.
The Glee club, under the direction of Miss Aileen Trotter, started rehearsals Friday afternoon.

Mrs. A. G. Holder, 202 Stewart avenue, who has been confined to her home with illness for several weeks, is somewhat improved, of which her friends will be delighted to know.
Mr. and Mrs. Hughey had Mrs. M. C. Matthews as their dnner guest, Monday.
To finance this great enterprise is the biggest burden, all things considered, that has fallen to our race. We have now been building daily for three months, at a cost of $20,000 per month, all labor and material to this time paid for. The building is now above the first story and pressing hard in the second floor.
Bishops Coppin, Connor and Heard are my immediate associates in this great task. I have every reason to believe that they will give the largest possible co-operation and sympathetic encouragement. About $50,000 of the money in hand has been raised by the little 3rd Episcopal District, and we are neither daunted nor tired. We need the aid of the whole connection and need it immediately. The Trustees of Wilberforce University cover the whole Church, and therefore the whole connection constitutes
DON'T BE MISLED, COLORED VOTERS, BY GRAFT
ERS AND, DOUBLE CROSS
We have in this campaign and in this city some of the same old political grafters and double crossers, as of other years. They get all they can, in the primaries from everybody, in any way that a political grafter, crook and double crosser has in his vocabulary and then when their ticket, as they claim was nominated, then if they find the party of the opposite side will take chances on them, they are for them. Now if they stop at that, the curse would stop with them, but they try to bring that same curse upon others of the race.
Dont' be misled by these monomania's in their motley phrases of variegated words. Be yourself and not a muffin. We have now some of these antiquated, ephemeral leeches working the state headquarters of both parties and telling them how wonderful is their influence among the race and the thousands of colored votes that can be changed from one party to another in the twinkling of an eye; when right now, one of the hardest propositions they will have on election day is to control their own double cross vote.
No one can tell an honest thinking colored man or woman how to vote and who to vote for, when it comes to a November election. We regret to have to say what he have of our own race, but it's true and many who read this article know it's true and we who want to see the race stand on higher ground, are being pulled down by these centipedes.

the controlling body. Control and responsibility are correlatives both morally and economically, and the exercise of the one, predicates the exercise of the other. The assumption and exercise of control, while neglecting the responsibility to support, is to be scorned by every manly man. Control without responsibility cancels the right of control. By inevable law, the whole church must help rebuild Wilberforce. Will you do it? Will you repudiate a duty?
We, therefore, beg all Bishops, General Officers, Ministers and Laymen to send in their contributions at once, so that the work on new Shorter Hall may not stop nor languish. We beg that you not wait, nor delay in making your personal sacrifice in helping us to prosecute this work to completion.

We are, therefore, asking the church to roll up a collection of a half million dollars for the placing of dear old Wilberforce at the head of the column, in the Educational March of the Negro Race. We believe that all lovers of Negro Education regardless of creed or denomination, will help us in this enterprise. Hence, we are begging and expecting immediate response. Send us five dollars, ten dollars, twenty dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars, five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, or such amount as you have ability to contribute.

Bishop Cleaves preached a great sermon at St. Peter's C. M. E. church Sunday morning to a large audience and preached a still greater sermon Sunday afternoon to the Women's Mission. His text was from Ruth and he told how dignified and true women ought to live in order for God to bless them with good husbands. Many gave vent to the spirit by shouting. Dr. Bowers and the whole membership asked the bishop to return. Dr. Bowers spoke collectively of visitors from A. M. E., M. E. and Baptists being present and spoke especially of Mrs. M. C. Matthews being present and being a member of Metropolitan Baptist, which does big things. Bishop Cleaves and Dr. Bowers left Tuesday for conference at Newton, Kans.

CHURCH NEWS
Rev. J. F. Griffin Returns From Vacation The services were well attended Sunday morning, although the pastor was absent and the closing day of the Southwest Missouri conference was on the other side.
The congregation had the pleasure of listening to a practical sermon from Rev. G. M. Tillman, D.D., pastor of our church at Fort Scott, Kansas. His subject, "Broken Vow" and in his discourse gave intelligently as well as forcefully how little did so many professed Christians nowadays, regard the vow they took at the altar. At the close of his sermon, several came forward and were received into the church. At the close of the day's service, 7:30 p. m., after the assistant pastor, Dean Jones, commented, only on the lesson read and as had been announced. Prof. Wise, with his Junior choir, assisted by Dr. P. A. Davis and Mrs. Freeman, rendered a sacred musicale, which was highly enjoyed.
The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, has returned from his vacation and will be out to class meeting tonight. He is looking well and says he feels better and much rested. The church and friends of this big-hearted Christ-like man rejoice, not only to see him back, but to know his rest has given his physical body new life.
Bishop Fountaine Here Sunday.
The members and friends of First church will be honored Sunday with the presence and listen to a sermon by Rt. Rev. W. A. Fountaine, the presiding bishop over the Puget Sound and South American conferences. Bishop Fountaine was elected at the last General conference, at St. Louis. He was president of Morris Brown college, Atlanta, Ga., and is known as one of our most intellectual men, a ripe scholar and a pulpit orator. Come out and hear him and bring your neighbors and friends.
The superintendent, Dean Jones, of the Sabbath school, says he is delighted to see the wonderful change, in the last few weeks of that quiet attention of the students, when the classes are being called. Are you, young people, attending either of the Allen Leagues? Every Sunday evening, Junior at 5:30 to 6:30; Senior 6:30 to 7:30. Come out and help make them worth while by your talent and interest in them. Visitors and friends always have a welcome at First church.

The Sabbath school under the supervision of Prof. S. D. Scruggs, Jr., was fine and vital truths stressed by the superintendent and teachers. At 11 a. m., the pastor having returned from the State Convention over which he has presided for eight years or more and was unanimously re-elected to the office again, preached a thoughtful, soul-inspiring sermon from the subject, "The Story that Never Grows Old."
It is the best news of Heaven and angels are intensely interested in this story. They announced this story of His birth by singing, "Behold I Bring You Tidings of Great Joy." The shepherds, on hearing it, ran and spread it abroad. The central figure n this story is a baby. Usually, not much time is used in giving details of a child's birth, but in this story the details are given because
this baby is no ordinary one. Seers and prophets wrote and spoke of Him long before He made His advent into the world. Isaiah wrote 700 years before He was born, "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given and government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Why has this story such a hold upon the world? It matters not how much of a hero you are in this world you will end your mortal career in shame and destruction unless this story has a hold on your life and conduct. The hero of this story was a king. Lots of folks could not conceive that he was a king be cause he did not live in a mansion, but He spoke like a king, calming storms, raising the dead; giving sight to blinded eyes, He possessed all power in Heaven and earth. He gave hope to a hopeless world. Not only a king, but a priest after the order of Melchisadec without beginnig or ending of days. Before the morning stars sang together, when all was chaos, Christ existed. If Christians do not tell this story right here in our Christian country, Mohammedanism will sweep this land as it does in Africa and other foreign lands.
Oh! Christians awake! Tell the story. Let it reverberate down the ages until none can say nobody has told me before of Jesus and His love. If you have never felt the true infulence of the story of Christ. You will tire of it, but once enveloped in it the more you tell it the sweeter it becomes to our souls. Christ the perfect example. Moses, Isaiah, David, all are imperfect examples. The story is interesting because he is the perfection and we can mold and shape our lives by his. He can and will help you to be like him.
The B. Y. P. U. held a very interesting session. Mrs. Ada Messley instructed for the boys junior group. They gave a splendid program.
All are welcome to our, services.
Hear Bishop W. A. Fountaine, at First A. M. E. church next Sunday at 11 a. m.
The 8-hour day for industrial workers is in Europe to stay, due to the absence of supreme courts and injunction judges.. This is the judgment of legislators and labor leaders, in spite of attacks in some quarters and the failure of most nations to ratify action of the international labor conference. Only four nations have ratified the 8-hour day convention, and none of them propose to put it into effect until July, 1924. Seventeen nations of Europe already have the 8-hour day, though not based on the conference plans.
Serious food problems are following in the wake of the recent depreciation in the mark. Grain prices are again unsettled in Germany and farmers are reluctant to make deliveries at the prevailing low prices. As an added factor to the food questioning there are some demands for a return to the compulsory rationing of war days.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones had been invited to a friend's house for tea and the time had arrived for preparing for the visit.
"Come along dearie," said Mrs. Jones to her 3-year-old san, "and have your face washed."
"Don't want to be washed," came the reply.
"But," said the mother "you don't want to be a dirty little boy, do you? I want my little boy to have a nice clean face for the ladies to kiss."
Upon this persuasion he gave way and was washed.
A few minutes later he stood watching his father washing. "Ha ha, daddy!" he cried, "I know why you're washing!"

OCTOBER 20,1922
(By J. A. Gregg, Wilberforce, Ohio.) During the month of July, it was my good pleasure to make a swing around the circle which included a visit to my former field of labor in Colored Schools at Hampton Institute, Virginia. While at the Bishop's Council in New York, Drs. Grant, Tooks and Long told me that since I was to attend the meeting at Hampton, I might as well include Florida in the trip and through their kind invitations I did so.
Leaving Wilberforce early Thursday morning the 13th with young Nat Walker, one of the students, whose home is in Jacksonville, we caught the 8:10 Southern train out of Cincinnati and were off for the South. At Lexington, Ky., Dr. G. F. David, West to Pensacola, friends of some of the finest people in all the land. "And since I have not gold to give, And love alone must make amends; My only prayer is, while I live, God make me worthy of my friends." our friend, joined us and we spent several hours very pleasantly together, before he left the train for one of his points at the extreme end of his District.
At 11:30 a.m. Friday morning, we arrived in Jacksonville at the new Union Station which they were just finishing two years ago when I left, found our friends awaiting us, and then began a very happy ten days' visit in the state where I spent seven years of labor for Edward Waters' college. Those seven years gave me the privilege of associating with the man who has done such a wonderful work for Florida, Bishop John Hurst, and his estimable wife; the opportunity to serve my Church and Race in all their interests, educationally, religiously and civically, and the great boon of making, from Key
The one big regret was that I did not have more time, for I did not see as many of my friends as I should have liked, and I could not begin to accept all the many invitations that were extended me to visit and be with the ministers and friends whom, in my years there, I had learned to love and respect.
I shall never forget the cordiality with which everyone received me, for no sooner had I put my bag down than the telephone began to ring, bringing greetings from this one and that, and a hearty welcome to Florida. Dr. T. H. B. Walker, the father of the young man who accompanied me, came right around with his big car and insisted that I take a ride around the city; he was followed by my very close friend, Dr. I. A. White, the layman who represented his District at the last Ecumenical Conference in England. They showed me the many improvements that have taken place since I left Florida.
Saturday, Drs. Grant and Tooks organized a party to go to Manhattan Beach. In our car, Dr. Curry's big Cadillac, were Drs. Tooks, Grant, Tyson, Curry, Long, Boger and I. Just as we drove on to the sands at Atlantic Beach a big air plane landed a few yards from us. I told Dr. Curry to stop the car, and he and Dr. Tyson went with me to the plane. I asked the aviator if he would take me up, and when he said yes, I climbed into the passenger's seat. When the brethren in the auto saw that I was really in earnest about going up, they called for me to get out, but I could not have resisted this call to go up, for ever since my father refused to allow me to make a balloon ascension at the age of fourteen, I have had a desire to fly. I had made several attempts before to go up, but always something prevented. It was wonderful.
We ascended at Atlantic Beach, flew to Pablo about three miles south, out a mile over the ocean, back across Atlantic Beach, then down over Manhattan, three miles north, down over the Jetties and Mayport, and then out over the land toward Jacksonville which looked like a city of blocks set in among the trees. One could see the St. John's River winding from the Jetties through Jacksonville and away in the distance until it was lost in the surrounding trees. We went up something over a thousand feet and the people looked like specks and the autos like flat boards along the beach; the trees resembled gardens and the roads looked like paths between garden lots. My first real thrill, after seeing the ground apparently running away from me, came when the aviator turned, for he had to bank the plane at about 45 degrees, and I took a deep breath as I caught firmly of the sides. Then came another thrill when he got ready to descend, for he stopped the motor and I thought that something had gone wrong. He then shot toward earth in a nose dive with lightning speed, and I thought that my very shoes would come up into my throat. But he straightened out, caught the air, and landed as easily as you would park an auto. I had previously told the young man that I wanted a plain
straight ride without any tail spins or loop-the-loops. He settled down within a few yards of our car, and the brethren insist that when my feet hit the beach, I said, "Thank God," and I suppose I did. Dr. Curry, who is a marvel in church building, went up next, but none of the others would follow us.
Sunday morning, I was with Dr. Garden in his quarterly meeting at Mt. Zion, Florida's first church, of which Dr. Charles Long, one of the Connection's best pulpeteers, is pastor. I certainly enjoyed a great service there, and was happy to meet so many of my friends. In the evening I worshipped in Dr. Grant's quarterly meeting at Mt. Moriah, where Dr. Tyson is now pastoring and doing commendable work. Monday morning I spent down town meeting old friends, and then I took dinner with Dr. J. C. Wright, the new president of Edward Waters College. I was glad to see the evidences of his good work and the wonderful improvements that have taken place in the old school. Monday night I lectured at Grant Memorial church, where Rev. Shepherd Hunter, the sweet singer, is pastor.
Tuesday morning Dr. Curry again brought up his Cadillac and he, Dr. Grant and I left for Palatka, stopping off in St. Augustine to see Revs. Oats and Brooks, Drs. Smith and Reed and many other friends. That night I preached for Dr. C. C. Simmons, the acceptable pastor of Palatku, and after the services we were entertained at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Findley. Wednesday morning we motored to Daytona and were pleased with the great progress shown at Mrs. Bethune's school. The now dormitory, which is indeed a "Faith Hall" is nearing completion. Mrs. Bethune is doing a mighty big work in beautiful Daytona, and the Race should be proud of her. I lectured at Allen Chapel, now pastored by the princely Dr. J. O. Starks, formerly of the Florida Conference, and at midnight we left for Jacksonville,"arriving there in time to get a good breakfast and leave for Starks, where Dr. Tools was holding his Sunday School Convention.
Being still somewhat indisposed, Dr. Tooks was being assisted in the work of his district by the Rev. G. C. Bledsoe, and in the Convention by Dr. T. W. Carter, Dean of Theology at Edward Waters College. Here we spent a very pleasant day and night, and were treated in the princely manner that is so much a part of Dr. Tooks. While in Starks we were entertained in the home of Mrs. Johnson.
Friday afternoon, the officials of the People's Industrial Insurance Company gave me a sea-food dinner at Manhattan Beach, to which were invited representatives of the several insurance companies doing business in Jacksonville. It was really gratifying to me to see the excellent work being done by the People's Company, for it owes its birth to a suggestion of mine and a meeting I called to discuss such a move. To see the fine building which the company now owns and in which are its offices; to note the agents' room filled with men and women busily making out their reports; to be told that we had expanded so that we were doing business in a number of Florida towns; all this made me happy to know that it had come about through a thought of mine.
Really the progress of our people in Florida is marvelous. It did my heart good to see that fine Masonic Temple on Broad Street, absolutely paid out of debt under the wise guidance of Grand Master D. D. Powell, the new home of the Pythians, built without assessment under the direction of the Grand Chancellor, W. W. Andrews; the fine showing of the Afro-American Insurance Company under A. L. Lewis; the Union-Mutual under Mrs. Sumpter; the fine new homes, the business houses, the great churches and excellent schools.
Sunday the 23rd, I worshipped in the morning with Dr. C. N. Boger, the progressive pastor of St. Paul. It was Dr. Tooks' Quarterly Meeting day, and Dr. Bledsoe was in charge. St. Paul has improved wonderfully since I left, and to Dr. T. W. Carter belongs the credit of putting in the new pipe organ and fine basement. Mr. Boger has a great plan for a community center. My last service was with Rev. Sherherd Hunter Sunday night at Grant Memorial. One of the largest audiences I have ever seen packed into a church greeted me, and we closed with two conversions and several accessions. Monday night I was to have been with Rev. Oats at St. Augustine, but because of a called meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Teachers' Association for Tuesday, I was compelled to forego that pleasure.
Monday morning, Dr. Wright of Edward Waters College, Mrs. Bethune of the Daytona Training School for Girls and I left over the Seaboard Air Line for Hampton where we attended one of the best sessions that National Association has ever had,
THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE and where I had the honor to be selected president for the coming year. From Hampton, I returned home by way of Richmond, Washington and Pittsburgh. Chance of a Lifeti She had become eng the handsome and tite eigner, much again wishes of her family.
I am especially grateful to big hearted Dr. Grant who has always been like a brother to me, and to the generous souled Dr. Tooks both of whom planned my itinerary for me; to the brethren who so graceously threw open their pulpits to me; to the former students of Edward Waters College and the many others who made my stay in Florida so pleasant and to the Teachers of the National Association who have honored me with the presidency of that great organization for the coming year.

Simpson was helping in the task of moving the right-of-way and all day long he carried heavy timbers and ties until at the close of the day he was completely tired out. Came quitting time. Before he went he approached the boss and said: "Mister, you sure you got me down on the payroll?" The foreman looked over the list of names he held. "Yes," he said, finally, "here you are—Simpson—Roy Simpson. That's right, isn't it?"
"Yaas suh, boss," said the man, "dass right. I thought mebbe you had me down as Sampson."

There was a time when men could knock, kick, and lick a woman at will and she would cry, but now when you go into the knocking business and she has learned to use a razor.

Well, it was Monday night when I left Kansas City, and I learned that Bishop H. Blanton Parks would be in the next day, to hold a big conference. I did not get to see him, and wanted that he write to me, but he failed to do so thus far. Well, he is a bishop and I am a—well I don't know what I am, except just a little of nothing. I must not expect a bishop to write to me.
I came down on the Kansas City Southern, and things moved along smoothly. Some fellow stole my night shirt, and here I am today without a night shirt. Of course, I did not have a thousand.
Tuesday night I reached the home of Mrs. S. A. Mathes, and she made welcome my coming as before, but death had visited her home and robbed her of her companion. Jack Mathes as I know him was a good man, and every inch a husband. He believed in providing for his home, for his children. His daughter is now working for the state of Texas as a nurse. She is going all over the state holding baby clinics or something like that, and she is doing a wonderful work. She got her nurse training under Provident Hospital, Chicago, and they prepared her for business. Her brother is now in Fisk University, and declares that he is going to be a first class physician. Thank God for that. Miss Mathes is one of the wonders.

this week, Mrs. Katie Miller Williams, of Helena, Ark., a graduate from some way up music school in Boston, and who is now opening the eyes of the country with her wonderful musical ability. She is now touring the country letting our girls see that there is something more in music than the "Blues" or "Jazz." She is just it and that's all. She is accompanied by a private secretary, and is released from all cares, and her business is to entertain at the piano and she can do that believe me, honey. She had a recital in Little Rock, and she had four numbers on the program and the music lovers were delighted with her and have invited her to return. I wil just write what I saw on the program, and you may know what it all means and the value in music, for I declare unto you I do not know that much music:
I. Sonata op. 27 No. 2, Beethoven; (Moonlight Sonata), Adagio Austouto, Allegretto; Presto Agitato.
II. (a) Prelude in E. b. (b) Romance, op. 16, No. 2. (c) Abrabesque in G; (d) Capriccio in A Minor.
III. (a) Tambourin, arr. by Godowsky, Rameau (1683-1764)
(b) Fantastic Impromptu-G Minor; (c) Prelude in G Minor G Minor. (d) Rhapsody in G. Minor, Brahma.
IV. Polonaise in E, Liszi. This is what she executed to the delight of all, and I am just telling you about it. I take off my hat to this wonderful young woman, and may she live long to inspire many of our young women to do likewise. God bless her.
While in the city, I have been in company with Prof. W. T. Daniels, one of the finest young men I have known in this country and a man who is doing somethig. He came out of Bishop College, Marshall, Texas, and took his place among the educators. He made good in the school, yet he had a desire to do greater things for his people, hence he resigned as principal of the high school in Texarkana, and went into the planting business, and then he was secretary of a great organization, the Royal Circles of friends. As a planter, he has made good, and has planted a few since he has been in the business. If you are dead and

Recognizing his worth to the race and the country, the Grand Lodge of United Brothes of Friendship, one of the strongest organizations in this country, elected him Grand Master, and he is the right man in the right place. He is a man of the people. Now this young man is a graduate from the college department of Bishop college, yet he is not educated away from his people, but close to them, and under his administration you are going to see the grand lodge grow and grow. Already new members are flocking in, anxious to be associated with W. T. Daniels, the young leader of his people and a prominent churchman
Speaking of church, I am here attending the session of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas, presided over by Dr. A. F. Boone, of Fort Worth, and it is one of the strongest organizations in the country. For a long time Dr. L. K. Williams, of Chicago, was president of this convention and resigned when he took charge in Chicago. Believe me, when I tell you he is right here now, and the people are in for him to be the next president of the National Baptist convention. He will have Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee and many other states behind him, and Arkansas will be for Dr. Williams, and you may put it down that he is going to be the successor to Dr. E. C. Moris. I shall have more to say about it in another letter.
METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES
At 11 a. m., Dr. Rogers preached a fine sermon to a large congregation. He also preached at the opening meeting of the Citizens' Forum. The Daughters of Zion had charge of the program. Dr. Davis also sang on the Forum program; and the Forum orchestra played good music. At 8 p.m. Dr. Rogers preached another good sermon on "Sunshine After the Storm," to a large audience. The Sunshine Band dressed in Mission robes, looked nice taking up the mission collections. Church meeting was announced for October 20 to call another pastor. The dean of Western College will preach until we get a pastor who will come. God is still leading us, in spite of Satan working against us. The Missionary Society gave away a quilt last Friday night, and Monday night a club gave an indoor picnic. The clubs are working fine. Mr. J. G. Branch suggested a dinner for Thanksgiving, and was made chairman of all the committees. He has selected most of them and a grand dinner will be given on Thanksgiving. The choir will give a fine Hallowe'en entertainment, at which all are asked to mask. The Aid gives fine dinners every Wednesday. Churches with pastors are not working any better than ours
Next Sunday, October 22, Dr. Rogers will preach on a deep spiritual subject. All are invited. Mesdames L. Davis, J. Lewis, F.Rice and V. Calhoun were the main committees who served dinner for the Aid Society last week. Come to Metropolitan.
T. G. Netrich, district attorney of Amador county, Calif., who is questioning witnesses at the inquest of the Argonaut gild mine fire, stated "that the Argonaut Mine company had placed no adequate fire fighting apparatus in the mine and had such apparatus been maintained in all probability the fire would have been extinguished."

DAUGHTERS OF ZION
The Daughters of Zion club of Metropolitan Baptist Temple celebrated their first annual anniversary Sunday, in conjunction with the C'tizens' Forum, October 16, 1922. It was the one great event of the season.' Rev. H. H. Rogers delivered an excellent sermon for the occasion from Genesis, 35th chapter, 25th verse.
Mrs. Ira L. Jones was drafted, on the spur of the moment, to give the object and purpose of the club, she having all information. The audience was charmed, with her splendid delivery and information of this serviceable organization.
The entire program was par excellent and the Forum orchestra rendered superb music. Club colors, purple and white, which were nicely carried out, in the entire decorations. The ushers' badge was a band of purple ribbon, decked with white flowers worn on the left arm. This club was organized one year ago, with five members and today, it has a membership of fifty-seven. The club raised, during its first year, something over $300.00.
Come to the Citizens Forum and hear its fine orchestra.
