Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill Sidetracked in Special Session of Congress KANSAS DEDICATION OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH LARGELY ATTENDED BISHOP PARKS DELIVERS SERMON DYER DEDICATION OF FIRST LARGELY BISHOP PARKS DE A day of unusual significance, was the services at First A. M. E. church Sunday. It was a day of Dedicatory services, the first in the history of this house of worship, whose founding goes back more than a half century ago. At 11 o'clock Bishops H. B. Parks, W. T. Vernon and the pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, leading, marched from the parsonage with 1,000 members and friends following, entered the front doors where the trustees were stationed in the vestibule and turned over the keys to Bishop Parks. The choir of forty were waiting robed in white, in the north lobby of the church, they passing through the east door to the choir laft singing "Holy, Holy." The Bishops, pastor, ministers, officers and members slowly marching down the north aisle, Bishop Parks reading the dedicatory service, the officers and members responding. The church was soon filled to its capacity and hundreds were compelled to stand around the sides, down and up stairs, with an audience of more than 1,500 people. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, lined the opening hymn which was led by the choir, with hundreds of congregational voices joining in. Consecration prayer, Bishop W. T. Vernon. Choir and congregation then sang from the Church Bulletin, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." Dr. Griffin then presented Bishop H. Blanton Parks, presiding bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District, who delivered the Dedicatory sermon. The Bishop was in splendid spirits and seemed to have an extra, amount of physical energy. It was a strong spiritual, scholarly discourse and reached the souls of his hearers. Bishop Vernon opened the doors of the church and a large number came to the altar and were received into the church. It was a great service and hearts were made to rejoice, as they never had before as especially the older members, when they looked back the long line of years of sacrifices, struggles hardships pulling as they climbed to see this day and say: WOMANS' MITE MISSIONARY ENTERTAINS.

CHURCH ATTENDED DELIVERS SERMON BISHOP The B packed the people T op Vernon It was h The greet following SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 "It is finished—the debt is paid, and we owe no man." Dr. Griffin, who led this church out of the wilderness, in his pastorate of five years of hard and arduous labor, was the one soul at this service, who rejoiced with a double portion of which he creditably deserved. This church was founded in Kansas City, Kansas, fifty-eight years ago, and Sunday was its first time it could say, we owe no man. A large crowd gathered at 3 p. m. after the ladies had served hundreds a free lunch in the lecture room, who remained. Western University orchestra and chorus furnished the music which was greatly enjoyed. Lawyer Dorsey Green gave the history of the church from its organization to the present location and Thomas Kennedy gave the remodeling and reconstruction of the present plant. Symposiums, by some fifteen church organization representatives told in short and spicy talks, the part they had played in helping to bring about this day of rejoicing. The evening service still brought hundreds to see the end of a "Perfect Day," the Western University orchestra and the Junior choir furnishing the music. The symposium was continued from the afternoon with interesting talks from club representatives and the Lord's Day closed with several others joining the church. The pastor called on several of the old members for an expression which was greatly enjoyed. Quarterly meeting next Sunday, December 10th, and quarterly conference Monday night.

NORENE DAVIS CLOSES TRIP IN MEXICO The next day back to Ft. Huachuca and the regular monthly meeting of Beth Esther Court, working finely under the leadership of Mrs. Fannie C. Smith, and more than $100 in the treasury. On Wednesday night "F" Troop gave a fine dinner-dance and I accepted the invitation extended. The Band, under the direction of Assistant Band-Leader Williams certainly rendered a program which was, to quote one enthusiastic dancer, a "knockout." The next morning I left for Columbus, New Mexico, now bereft of its former glory, the 24th Infantry. A large delegation occupying two big touring cars, met me, including Chancellor Commander Owens and wife, Mrs. Laura Smith, the Worthy Counsellor, Serg't Samuel G. Chadman, Serg't Smith and others whom I cannot now name. Under this noble escort I was conducted to the home of Serg't Chadman, where a fine dinner awaited me. The next day Serg't and Mrs. Van Cooper took me motoring down in easy sight of the border and the mountains which lay in that entchantment which distance gives to the view. The next day the Worthy Counsellor entertained me at dinner and on Sunday I attended services at both the Baptist and Methodist churches At the latter I met, to our mutual surprise, Rev. Grant Kirby, formerly of Kansas City, filling the pastorate to the entire satisfaction of his congregation. Mrs. Chadman and Mrs. Milton hired a service car and took me sight-seeing across the border to the ruins of Polomas, a monument of Villa's ruthlessness. They showed me the hill whereon he planted his cannon which raked Columbus upon that fateful day which saw his vengeance fall; the road and military bridge by which the 24th, under Col. Young, pursued the retreating bandits. Near Palomas, for about two miles, a chain of pools of crystal-clear water, some tepid, while others close by were ice cold. On Monday I visited Eureka Court number 46, and found them also with more than $100 in the treasury, and intensely interested in the work. At the close we were all served some of the most delicious salads and other light refreshments, with forks and spoons from the Philippines, carved from some native hardwood. The next morning the Worthy Counsellor, Mrs. Van Cooper and I were entertained at breakfast by Mrs. Bertha Owens. The Court gave me a purebred Airdale puppy which alternately dozes and yelps at my fireside, bearing the commemorative title "Eureka Sam," at all these camps I was made the recipient of various tokens of es- WILL SPEND THE YULETIDE IN CHICAGO THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Session of Congr J. O. LOOKING FORWARD WILL SPEND THE YUL HILLSBORO, TEXAS December has said good morning to us, and that means that Christmas will soon be here, and so many people have told me that they are going to send me Christmas presents, and I want to thank them now, and I am getting/ready to receive them. I know some people have gone to heaven this year, but I wonder if the devil has gotten any souls to recruit hell? Why should I ask such a question? I was just thinking how hot hell is, and so many people like hot weather until they just won't do right, just won't get that new birth, so they are leaving here, and they must go some where. But God will take care of all this I will not therefore need to worry. I know I am going to heaven some day. I see Mrs. Norene Davis has written about her trip West. I am sure the people will enjoy reading about the wonderful things she has done and is still doing. I want to congratulate her myself and will pray that God will bless her. I am still in Texas, but I will bet you or lay you that I will be out of the state when you read this letter, and will be getting ready to go to California, and then will spend Christmas at 5922 Aberdeen street, Chicago, Illinois, but I am going to California first. It takes a man to live in Texas, and I am proud to say to you that we have some real manhood down here, and I have been in touch with some of it. Of course you know Bishop William Decker Johnson, D. D. Ph. D., the great man of this race of ours, and the man who is just doing things. He is inspiring the young and the old, the high and the low, the rich and the poor. His life is just an inspiration to any human being, and he is kind, he is living for his people and any other people who would desire a word from him. He has finished his conference work, and is going to visit some in the state before he starts on that long journey to Georgia. This account for his wonderfulness, for he has been trained in Georgia, and you know when a good man comes out of Georgia he teem, which are numbered among my most precious possessions. My stay here was saddened by the news drifting back from Georgia of the humiliations and indignities put upon the 24th Infantry, and the sorry pass to which resentment thereto had brought some of its most noble members. Why should colored troops be thus exposed to the brutality of the ignorant, vicious, and still disloyel "cracker?" Are not the officials responsible for their orders to move, accessory before, and after the fact? From here I went directly home, save for an enforced half-day at El Paso, to find my husband whom I had never seen otherwise than smooth-faced, now almost unrecognizable with a mustache. When I reproached him for thus harrowing up my feelings, he calmly informed me, and with apparent earnestness, that he had grown whiskers equal to Rip Van Winkle's during my absence, but had cut them down to what I saw, in order to escape ridicule. Mrs. Estes of 947 Nebraska and Mr. and Mrs. Weekly entertained for the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. A. Miles at a 7-course Thanksgiving Dinner. Music and mirth mingled with thanksgivings for a bounteous feast. All were happy. Mrs. Jennie Brown, 2212 North Third street, was taken quite ill last Saturday and is still under the doctor's care. Mrs. Brown's many friends hope she may soon be restored to her normal health. Some of the visitors, who attended the lecture Tuesday night by Bishop Vernon at First A. M. E. church were: Rev. J. T. Smith, Parsons, Rev. E. Eatman, Bonner Springs, Rev. B. R. Ross, Topeka. gress ORD TO A MERRY CHRISTMAS ULERTIDE IN CHICAGO is good and good right. In his conference rounds, Bishop Johnson is accompanied by his wife, who is a remarkable woman and a worker right by the side, of her husband: She is meeting the women, giving them heart to heart talks, and then she has a life that is helpful to the young womanhood of the race. She is telling the girls that one dress tattered and torn, one dress full of of patches covering virtue, is worth a thousand dresses representing debauchery. She is preaching and preaching hard against mixing. She is telling the young women of this race that the highest honor any man can confer on a woman is to make her his wife and the mother of his children, and this is good common sense doctrine, for she goes on and tells them right out in church that the only man who can do this in this southland is the Negro man. She preaches on the sanctity of the marriage vow. she has gotten into the hearts of the people of Texas, and they just love her like a mother, and believe me she is a mother. These people have the lives of two workers to help them up in life. The conference work is over down here, and I have been looking at some of the men who are to be before the church for honors. It is looming up in the state, and they are following the loom. I have been with the Rev. R. S. Sims, pastor of Allen Chapel, in Fort Worth. I recall when he was assigned there a few years ago—lust two years ago by Bishop Johnson. Some of the people declared that he was ignorant, some said, he was born on the dark of the moon and was too dark to be in Allen, for they would have to burn electric lights night and day in order to see him. They told the Bishop many things, even told him that Dr. Sims could not preach, but none of these things moved Bishop Johnson, for he had made up his mind and he knew the man. The assignment was made to Allen, and the people received their new pastor, and some declared they were going to quit the church. They went (Continued on Page 4.) COMMUNITY CLUB.

PRESCRIPTION FOR LONG LIFE According to This German Physician, It Is Easy to Add to One's Years of Usefulness. The gathering of centenarians which took place the other day recalled the case of the eminent German physician, Doctor Fischweller, who died recently at the age of one hundred and nine. He often declared that he possessed an infallible rule for securing longevity, which he would reveal to the world in his will. Upon his death, then, this formula was disclosed: "Put your bed, orienting it by means of a compass, so that you will have your head placed north, and lie in a horizontal position. Sleep solidly with closed fists." This is the whole secret. This position, it is asserted, brings the body in communication with the great tellurian currents coming from the north and insures an extremely happy blood circulation. Greatest of All Books. When the next rainy night comes and you are in doubt as to what interesting book to read get out the old family Bible and start in at Genesis, and each night thereafter devote a small portion of your time to reading this book. Aside from the spiritual benefit that you may derive from it you will find it one of the most interesting works ever written. It is replete with well-told stories, its periods are well rounded and its construction is of the best. More than one man who has achieved renown has stated that the Bible in the most interesting work ever printed. Such men as the late Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt, Lloyd George, Champ Clark and other men who have occupied prominent positions in the public eye have spoken to me at different times of the merits of this great work. It really is a masterpiece of literature.-Washington Star. Truly. Wonderfull An airplane was flying over the countryside and the pilot was indulging in a little stunting. Absent-mindedly he beoped; the loop, quite forgetting that he had on board a parcel containing a pair of boots. Naturally they dropped out and landed just in front of an old woman in a cottage garden. The package burst open, and out rolled the boots, much to her astonishment. Picking them up, she hobbled indoors and called out to her husband: "Ere you are, Garge! They boots you ordered 'ave come. What a wunnerful thing this wireless is! I thought I 'eard the buzz of 'em coming through the air."—London Tit-Bits. Thinking Him Gone I had notified my landlady that I was to be absent from my room, for a couple of nights. Later I changed my mind, and returned to my room about 2 a.m. The county, fair was on, and three of the landlady's nieces had come in from the country to visit her, and she placed all three in my room. My embarrassment, also that of the nieces, occurred when I entered my room. The ensuing screams were enough to arouse the entire police department—Chicago Tribune. Somewhat Novel Request. Joe, aged three, accompanied by his mother, recently spent a night with one of his aunts. At bedtime, auntie and uncle came in to hear how Joe was progressing with his prayers. Mother was proud of his plious efforts and-glad-to exhibit him, but much to her embarrassment, instead of asking for "our daily bread," he said, "Give us this day our daily papers." In Feathers. "Feathers of the bird of paradise are now prohibited." "Then, how, do, the, women—" "Oh, there's some bootlegging going on, of course." "She called me a cat." "Let it pass." "I won't let it pass!" "Do you propose, my dear, to prove she's right?" Look up, not down—especially when you have a blacked eye; then, you can't see it. FLYING CHAFF Poetry is truth set to music. Judge of the tree by its fruit. Penniless folks are bunko proof. Herole measures are often misfits. Kindness is politeness everywhere. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Little boats must keep near the shore. It is no "bargain" if you do not need it. A knocker isn't necessarily out nailing lies. Hope is often carried so far as to be ridiculous. Conceit is a weed that grows best in barren soil. He serves his party best who serves the country best. To be womanly is the greatest charm of woman. It's hard to get money and It's harder to keep it. Suspicious which may be unjust need not be stated. A bad man is far less dangerous than a cunning one. The man who minds his own business is well employed. If all flesh is grass men ought to be less shy of lawn mowers. Beware of the individual who is lost to all sense of shame. No amount of good advice ever made a bad egg fresh. A soft answer will not turn away the man who is in love. A bonnet with a presidential bee In it is expensive millinery. A good sentiment is all right, but a good practice is better. Part of the fabulous salaries some actors get is real money. Good luck's principal ingredients are prudence and industry. There are gems in the classics—often buried deep in dullness. Men who pretend to understand women are only pretenders. A blanket mortgage will not keep a house warm in zero weather. Most of our joys as well as our sorrows are due to ignorance. No man is so friendless as the one who has lost his political pull. If good clothes would only stay good—but they never have yet. Who ever heard of an actress seeking a divorce without publicity? Nature must love a joke—judging from the funny people we meet. The board of strategy is the kind you get at some boarding houses. Possession is nine points of the law, and the attorney's fee is the tenth. There may, he nothing in a name, but it helps some on a bank check. Anything that is not to be sneezed at appeals to the victim of hay fever. Every time a girl builds an air castle she puts a different man in it. It's far better to have your neighbor owe you an apology than money. Don't be so miserly that you are afraid to laugh at your own expense. In religion as in every other profession, practicing is the greatest thing. He who is equipped with patience and perseverance is equipped for work. Common sense is discouraging. It means not to care too much for anything. While it is true that this is a hurry-up world, nobody likes to see his finish. Some men think they know enough if they know where they can borrow money. You might call a man a rolling stone, but don't insinuate that he isn't on the level. Perhaps the woman who does not wish to vote has nothing to wear to the polls. LED STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM James Franklin Editor and Publisher of First "Rebel" Newspaper Printed in the United States. The first rebel newspaper in the American colonies was the New England Courant, which issued its first number on August 7, in 1721. James Franklin was the editor and publisher of the Courant, which was the fourth newspaper to be printed on this continent. Franklin and his immortal brother, Benjamin, soon made the Courant the organ of those Americans who had already commenced to falter in their allegiance to the mother country. James Franklin was a bold and fearless writer and he very quickly found himself in jail and, was on several occasions called upon to edit his paper from a cell. The Courant not only attacked the political abuses of the day, but it was decidedly free in its treatment of religion, with the result that the Mathers and other clergymen who looked after Boston's conscience in those days sought to suppress the publication.—Chicago Journal. Still Companions Uncle Josiah is a Parke county farmer, who for many years, though a deacon in the church, took his "ulp" on the side. But he always strenuously denied the charge. His two college nephews came to see him the other day, and he tried to impress them. He showed them the old place. "It's all here as it was when you were little fellows," he said, "except the old oaken bucket, and it's—" "Down in the cellar with all the extra jugs and jars since the Vol stead bill became a law," one of them winked. Uncle tried to look still more plous. "The trouble with the generation of today is that they are so worldly," he began. Then nephew finished it for him, "and wise."—Indianapolis News. Red Haar-Beens Representative Bok of Texas said at a banquet in Washington: "Our Reds find their audiences less and less sympathetic as Russia totters more and more. "A Red was orating on a soap-box the other day. "Yes,' he snarled, 'you're afraid to revolt. You're like the prodigal son. All you get to eat is the husks the swine won't touch. But pretty soon the husks will all be gone. What'll you do then? "Why, eat the swine, o' course! said a young man in blue overalls." "Mistus" Day. It was the 11th of November and a darky down South was asked if he knew what was being celebrated that day. "No, suh—mistus day; suh. You see, we were ordered tuh go over the top dat mottal' when along comes de news dat de war, was over, so the Germans done mistus, suh; dy done mistus."—Everybody's Magazine. Backed Up and Sat Down. When I was a freshman in high school I had a crush on one of my teachers and was anxious to always appear at my best before her. One evening after school I returned to the room to talk to her. She was busy and told me to sit down on a low stool by her desk to wait. I backed up and sat down. The janitor had to pull me out of the wastebasket, which I had misstaken for the stool.—Exchange.

He Had to Stand It. Yesterday while I was seasick it seemed to me I couldn't stand six days more of it or any-more of it. Which reminded me of a remark I once heard a very old man make.

MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) out to hear his first sermon out of desire to have some fun, but believe me honey they shouted, they snorted, they puffed and declared he was truly a man of God and fell in line. When he was assigned there a few days ago for the third time, the people all got together and gave him one more banquet. One of the finest ever pulled off in that church, and they are just in line with him. They rendered a program, made speeches, served chicken salad a la Sims; Lady Sims a la Saltine Olives; Ice Cream a la Josie Moore; Cake a la M. E. Tilden, but I don't know what all a la means, and you will have to find out. Some of the leaders in this were Mrs. Josie Moore, Mrs. J. H. Stephenson, Mrs. J. W. Tilden, Mrs. P. V. Walker, Mrs. R. E. Jordan, Mrs. J. N. Seals, Mrs. C. Marion, D. W. Donifer, J. N. Seals, J. H. Jones, Mrs. M. E. Jones, steward and stewardess boards No. 1. and the missionary boards. I am sure that Dr. Sims and his wife are proud of the people and they are proud of them. It is a case of being proud of each other. I have before me in my company, Dr. R. S. Jenkins, who is slated to succeed Bishop Johnson, as secretary of the general conference of his church. Dr. Jenkins is just born to write, and you believe me honey when I tell you that he will make a great secretary, and furnish a first-class minute. Then from there he will step into the episcopacy. There is W. D. Miller, D. D., the zone director of the million dollar drive, who is on his road to the episcopacy, and the same is said of Rev. A. H. Carr, who is a scholar, and a graduate from Paul Quinn college. He is a product of Texas, and some day his state will feel proud of the great things he has done. He is doing them now. You have not met Rev. S. D. Butler, D. D., of Austin, Texas, the man who is putting Austin on the map, and who is truly a representative of his church. Dr. Butler is now erecting a new church, although there were officers in the church, who declared that it should not be done, and tied up the money in court, but believe me when I tell you out of every pore came black ink, and when Dr. Butler was through sweating black ink, he was in possession of the money, and the building is being pushed to completion, and it will be ready for next fall. He is in line for elevation, and he will have earned it, and if placed on the bench, will be a loving father to his men. He has a fine companion by his side. He is a scholar. Of course, Prof. A. S. Jackson, will be retained as the commissioner of education, for he has made, good and is still making good and will continue to make good. Then there will follow Dr. S. J. Johnson, who is bound for Washington. He will not be in the White House, but in 1535 Fourteenth street, as secretary of the Church Extension Society of his church, and I believe my soul he will make a good one. Now, then, there is Rev. C. W. Abington, who made a trip to Africa, and he wants to be missionary secretary. He is a good scholar and knows the missionary game. Dr. J. W. Rankin, who held the position since 1912, has lost his health, and perhaps will never be Rankin again, but that is the will of the Lord. The general conference will select his successor. I will tell you about it later. Texas is filled with candidates for everything. Well, it is a big state, and it is willing to supply all the bishops, all the general officers, and if the church needs anything else it will say "Call on Texas for it." I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. J. O. MIDNIGHT. The Advocate's Big Xmas Issue, December 15. You need some Space in it that the people may know you are in business.

"Take pains," said the Window. "Always keep cool," said the Ice. "Be up to date," said the Calendar. "Never lose your head," said the Match. "Make light of your troubles," said the Fire. "Do a driving business," said the Hammer. "Don't be merely one of the hands," said the Clock. "Aspire to greater things," said the Nutmeg. "Don't try to be too sharp in your dealings." said the Knife. "Do the work you are suited for," said the Chimney.—Nuggets. \ "How old is your little brother?" inquired Willie. "He's a year old," replied Tommy. "Huh! I have a dog a year old and he can walk twice as good as your brother." "That's nothin'. Your dog's got twice as many legs." Helping.

Rich men have their country places, but poor men must be satisfied with farms. The world has more respect; for a man who yells than for one who whines. Climb a little higher than the crowd and you will be the target for the knockers. Don't think that a man is always in the wrong because he doesn't agree with you. A man may be able to trade his reputation for money, but he can't trade back. Curiosity is merely something that is inspired by things that are none of our business. What is worth doing is worth doing well, except when it is yourself that is being done. Neither money nor brains has enabled any one to get "in the swim" at the north pole. Work is of no advantage to one who has lost the power to enjoy the fruits of work. No woman is satisfied with herself until she has put it all over her neighbor in some way. If some men were half as big as they think they are this world would be overcrowded. A man never tries to convince you that he is perfectly sober unless he is partially drunk. Ignorance that is bliss is soon shattered by a busybody bearing the necessary information. One kind of diplomat is a woman who can make a man believe that he knows more than she does. A mileage book is so interesting that the traveler is always sorry when he reaches the last page. It is said that political graveyards are never robbed, yet there are a lot of dead ones in politics. If given three guesses could you guess why a married man seldom has any use for a phonograph? Fortunately for stupid people, the weather changes often enough to give them something to talk about. POISONED GLUE FOR BIBLES Particular Protection Necessary for Books Intended for Circulation in the Gilbert Islands. Not only must Bibles be attractively bound and well printed, but some of them must be perfumed, perpered and poisoned as well. Bibles going to the Gilbert Islands contain in the blinding glue, and the paste which fastens the cover-a mixture of oil of cloves, cayenne pepper and corrosive sublimate. This is to ward off a certain worm, peculiar to these islands, which destroys the bindings of books. Twelve hundred such Bibles have been sent recently by the United States Bible society on their 15,000-mile journey to Ocean Island by way of Sydney, Australia. Rev. D. Hiram Bingham, the famous missionary translator, gave his life to the preparation of the Bible in the Gilbertese language. From the Cradle to the Car. Notice how the wives and daughters now drive the family autos. Hubby and dad have cheerfully handed over the job. Another sign of the times. The hand that used to rock the cradle now guildes the car. And why not? Science, anyway; has ruled out the cradle. The hand that can guide a car through city traffic is certainly capable of ruling the world. Rocking cradles in comparison was easy sledding.—Los Angeles Times. Cheap Material. "Your honor, when we were married my wife said I was her soulmate." "Yet, there she stands, charging you with non-support." "I do," spoke up the wife. "I soon discovered that he had a marked down soul, and it was no bargain, either."—Birmingham Age-Herald. "Of course," said Miss Cayenne, "I am willing to pay more for rapid work." "How rapid must it be?" inquired the dressmaker. "Rapid enough to keep a dress from going out of style between the time I order it and the time I get a chance to wear it." A pupil returned after several days absence: is quite large." "Let's change the subject," interrupted Senator Sorghum. "It isn't large enough to be worth mentioning." "Why do you lecture away from home?" "Well, some people will pay to hear a congressman but not their own congressman." After. First Gentleman—"Did you get home last night before the storm?" Second Gentleman—That was when it started."
