MIDNIGHT SPENDS THE HOLIDAYS IN THE WINDY CITY MANY FRIENDS Chicago, Ill.—Here I am writing to you on Christmas Day, and you will read it before the end of the year. I hope you will remain here to read it. Some people have died this year who never died before since they had been in the world and now that they have passed out they will not die any more. As I sit down and take my pen in hand I am looking back over some of the friends who were here last year around Christmas time, but alas, they have answered the roll call in heaven or the other place, for if you fail to get to heaven then hell is ready to catch you and keep you good and warm. They tell me it is some hot down there, and you just help to make it hot, for you just burn on and on and the fire will never go out. I tell you that is some hell, and since I have a through ticket to heaven I am not going to even look that way. I wonder if any of my immediate friends will be there. I hope they will not and if they are then they will only have themselves to blame. There is a long list of men and women who have been called away this year, and I fear before you can read this letter and the year will have passed, it is hard to tell who will join the number. You may be notified that I have added to that number for I am right now in Chicago, sick, and I am to remain here until I get well or die. I feel that the readers are going to pray for me, and if they have any influence with Jehovah, then I am sure to remain a little longer down here in this world of trouble. I am here under Dr. George C. Hall, and I am glad to report to you that Dr. S. H. Thompson of Kansas City, Kansas, struck the bugs a terrible blow, and I believe in my soul that he knocked the devil out of many of them. He is a great man and I want to here thank him. If you will stop and think for a few minutes you will remember that I was way out yonder in Los Angeles when I wrote to you that other letter. That is going some, for one Sunday I was in St. Louis, the next Sunday in Los Angeles, and the next Sunday in Chicago. I told you about Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Cooper, but I recall some other friends out there, and I-must tell you about them. I want to pay my respects to a young man, who is making good in Pasadena, Calif., just a few minutes ride from the city of Los Angeles. It is D. W. Phelps, Ph. G., proprietor and owner of Phelps' Drug Store, a place worthwhile and ranks with the others. This young man has started out and little by little made his way, up. He at one time lived in Indianapolis, and he heard the cry, "Young man go West, and grow up with the country." He thought it was a direct message to him, so he won the heart and hand of Miss Orene E. Martin of 516 E. Hill street, Louisville, Ky. She was a complete graduate from the Louisville high school, known as the Central high. She is the grand daughter of Square Brown of the Shelby city school. She was a busy young woman, yet she was willing to link her future with this young man, and she did. She was willing to try the West. D. W. Phelps was born in Haarrodsburg. Ky. These young Kentuckians are active in church work—in fact he is an officer in the A. M. E. church, and I think will be a delegate to the next general conference. There are others. Now then it was a great ride back to the city of Chicago. I got, here and then turned my attention to other things. It has been a source of real pleasure for me to be here. I have been seeing friends and friends, and then there have been so many things said and done to make me feel good. Now let me turn attention to some few things. Sunday morning I went to church; Olivet Baptist, Rev. L. K. Williams, pastor. He was delighted to see me walk in, and just as, soon as he was through with a hymn announced that I would preach. He told (Continued on Page 4.) —SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 DR. AND MRS. BLOUNT ENTERTAIN AT DINNER. Dr. and Mrs. W. M.

Mrs. Blount prepared the excellent appetizing menu, with her own hands and served it beautifully, assisted by her sweet little daughter. Florence. The menu consisted of most everything of the season, with brick ice cream, Ambrosia, fruit cake and angel cake. The only thing that marred this elegant feast was, Dr. Blount was called on a hurry phone message to a patient in that neighborhood and one at the office, but those left, did justice to the sweet, juicy turkey and the trimmins. The guests were: Editor and Mrs. Thos. Kennedy, Dr. M. D. Shields, Dean Alexander Jones of Western University. The hostesses, Dr. and Mrs. W. M. Blount and their daughter, Florence. After the repast, Dean Jones entertained with his violin, with Mrs. Blount at the piano. WELFARE LEAGUE IS HIGHLY ENTERTAINED TO CHRISTMAS DINNER. The Welfare League of the Second Ward was elegantly entertained Christmas Day by Mrs. John Stanfield at her lovely home, 212 Garfield avenue, to an elaborate dinner. There were more than one hundred that partook of this appetizing feast. The dinner was served at 3 o'clock in a beautifully decorated dining room with cut flowers, Christmas wreaths, holly and ferns. The guest of honor was Mr. Conside Jenkins, who made the principle address. Others present gave short talks. This dinner consisted of four large turkeys and five geese, besides ham and pork, with all the trimmings, such as oyster dressing, brown gravy and hot rolls, with fresh country butter, salads, vegetables, coffee, brick ice cream and home made cakes of many kinds and pies too numerous to mention.

Its first meeting of the year will be held at its regular rooms over the Home Drug Store, on Tuesday evening, January 2, at 8 p. m. As its last act of 1922 was the entertainment of the boys from the Industrial Home at Topeka, an act of which each and every member is justly proud, its first act of the new year will be to put on the drive for membership. It is the purpose of the League to see to it that every business and professional man in the community shall come within bounds, and lend his effort to build broader, better and more substantially the social and economic structure; to the end of making each and every man in the League as well as others, a more worthy and efficient factor in the community for good. The fact that business and professional men are mentioned as being desired as members does not mean that they are more desired than are other men, not in the least. The League is as broad in its aims and objects as the expanse of humanity, and its doors are open to all, and all are equally welcome. There will be work enough for all—and all are expected to work—and work some more. Work—is the sign by which we expect to conquer. None of the committees are yet full, and there are others yet to be appointed. And it is very much hoped that those committees which have work on hand will be ready to report at next meeting. Another important feature which will be considered at the meeting will be the organization of a Woman's Auxiliary, which we think very expedient, and for which we have fond hope. The Committee on Legislation will also be appointed, which is expected to urge needed legislation. With much hope and more anticipation, we look forward to a prosperous, profitable and happy New Year for all concerned. We are your humble servant at all times. I. F. BRADLEY, President.

OPENING ODE. Read December-18, 1922 at Reception. Dear members of First Baptist I feel it gives me fame, To help you all to open This great church in God's name. When I received the letter Inviting me, you know, It seemed as if God's spirit Said to me, "You must go!" So that is why I'm with you Tonight, so not to shirk; And bring congratulations And praise for your good work. Tis sad, but true, you notice, But few are here we know, Who worked in old First Baptist Just forty years ago. One is dear Betsey Taylor, Whom every one should praise, Began the Sewing Circle, And God prolongs her days. Your church is quite historic As one time years ago, You had land in Huron square, But gave it up, you know. You then moved on Nebraska Near Seventh street, they say. Then to Fifth and Nebraska Where you are now today. I once played for this great church And taught your Sunday School When I first came here, also Taught city school, by rule. Twas when dear F. D. Ewing Was pastor here and won, But God called him from labor And then his work was done. Since I belonged to you, I Much time on programs spent; When Mrs. Anna Cox was Your Circle President. Then came the Reverend Jones and Then Reverend Grant, so true, Whom God took home to Heaven, To live beyond our view. Then came the Reverends Mitchell And Richardson, of fame, And they, too, preached well for you Till Reverend Bowren came. 'Twas left for Dr. Bowren, A great man on earth's sod, To tear down the old Temple And built anew for God, Some old members are still left, The foundation to grace; But many young ones have now Taken the old one's place. Mr. James Downs, the chairman, Professor Hodge, the clerk, And the Building Committee Have all done real good work, Altho' space wont allow me To name all if I could I now praise all the members Who have done all they could. Again, I'm glad to greet you, And just because it's true; Our church, great Metropolitan, Is your own daughter, too. Now, aren't you now proud, that She left her mother, dear, And built the first great model For all new churches here? I greet the Sewing Circle, And for the Mission plead. And praise all women workers For women always lead. Now don't the Bible teach us That down thru years 'twill ring, That after man was tempted We're first in everything? Now this most beauteous Temple, You've built in Kansas, great. Is one of the most modern, Of those in any state.. And as God let you build it, Don't get puffed up with fame, But be humble and Christ-like, And glorify His name. And strive to reclaim sinners, While here on earth you roam, To come and journey with us To our eternal home. And if you keep this spirit, Until your end of days, You'll meet all saints in one church, And with Christ live always. (Copyright, M. C.

A fine congregation greeted the spacious auditorium Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service. Mrs. Ophelia Jackson, the very efficient performer, was at the pipe organ. Mrs. Jackson makes this large instrument do everything, it's made to do. The usual processional was played, the excellent choir gracefully marching from the north and south room around to the center aisle in the rear and then to the choir loft, singing "Holy, Holy." Rev. J. F. Griffin, the pastor, used for his subject in his second sermon of his series "Christian Sympathy." The subject was one very appropriate for this special period of the season and the minister, in his discourse made it plain, with understanding, the difference between natural sympathy and real christian sympathy—showing one was only temporary and limited, at that, but christian sympathy, was a feeling for his fellow man, that could be seen and felt unconsciously. The pastor received many warm grasps of the hand at the close of the service, of congratulation. The pastor filled his pulpit at the evening service and delivered a fine talk to a most interesting audience. The Junior choir rendered very excellent music. At the close of the evening service the pastor was presented with a cash purse of $50, and Mrs. Griffin with $50 in cash. The Sunday School held their Christmas program and gave out presents Saturday evening. Candy and nuts were distributed to the scholars. Miss Dwiggins had charge of the program. Christmas morning at 5 o'clock the auditorium was filled to hear the Messiah sung by the Senior choir, after which the pastor delivered a fine discourse on the occasion, two joining the church. one young man acknowledging Christ. Watch meeting will be held Sunday night when the old year, 1922, will pass into eternity and the new year, 1923, will be received for better or for worse, but it's up to the Christian church, and it will be responsible for either.

GREETED WITH COLD WATER A quaint New Year's custom observed in South Pembrokeshire, the "Little England beyond Wales," is described in a London newspaper. Between six and seven o'clock on New Year's morning the householders are aroused by a succession of smart taps at their doors. On opening them they will be greeted by one or more children, chliefy boys, armed with a little year, I cheerfully resolve to obey all or other evergreen plant. The greeting consists of the words, "Will you take this New Year's water in, please?" No true native of the district would dream of refusing, for this water is supposed to bring good luck for the ensuing year. If the child's request is granted, he sends a spray of ice water into the face of the gentleman or lady of the house, with the words, "I wish you a happy New Year!" Every member of the household must participate in the luck-bringing water, so the child is brought up to the members of the family still abed and the formula is repeated again. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation was present Sunday, December 24th, to listen to Pastor H. B. Bronson preach. He is not only a Doctor of Theology, but has been a professor and dean of a college. He preached a most wonderful sermon on the "Birth of Christ" and showed so clearly that Christ was God in man's flesh, that even a child could understand. He took his text from John, where it says: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God, and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among men." Some united with the church. A solemn spectacle was when Pastor Bronson sent Secretary J. C. Branch to escort Mrs. M. C. Matthews to the front and presented to her a beautiful Holman Bible for her advertising on the bulletin boards. The Pastor told of reading one of her poems in states far away from here. He presented it as a token from the deacons and some members. She thanked them and now tells all that "she received the best gift of any one, anywhere, unless they received also, the Book of Books, the Bible." She values it as priceless. At 8 p.m. the organist played the beautiful voluntary, "Sweet Hour of Prayer," and had the choir sing, "He Lifted Me." Deacon Johnson gave the invocation and the choir sang the anthem, "I Will Praise Thee." Pastor Bronson's subject was, "The Incarnation and the Word." John 1:14; Gal. 1:1-5 and 4:4, and he showed plainly that the God-man was God's Son and should be our prototype. Monday, December 25th, a large audience came to church at 11 a.m. to celebrate Christ's Birthday. Dr. Bronson preached a still greater sermon and several joined the church. He upbraided those Christians, who bring their children to celebrate Washington's birthday and do not bring them to celebrate Christ's Birthday. Several joined the church and Mrs. I. Thomas presented the pastor a $30 check from the members. At night a large crowd came to the S. S. Christmas tree and concert. The children recited and sang well. Miss Lily Redwine played a violin solo and Miss Lelia Plummer played the piano. The children and friends received many presents off the beautiful tree. One main feature was the presentation of a Christmas box and gifts amounting to $50 to Pastor Bronson and family, by Mrs. M. C. Matthews in a poet in behalf of Metropolitan church members. Next Sunday, December 31, is "Men and Boys' Day," at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Women and girls invited. Subject, "Guiding Boys over Fools-Hill." Come. ST. LUKE A. M. E. CHURCH [3. M.

Prayer and praise service, Wednesday, 8 p. m. Come and worship, Come and worship Worship Christ, the new born King. Thus did a large concourse of worshippers on last Sabbath. The Sunday School was well attended and the lesson of Christmas-tide stressed by superintendent and teachers. Promptly at 11 o'clock the Pastor ascended to the pulpit and the morning sessions were impressive. The subject: "The visit of the_Wise Men to Christ." Text: Matthew 2:7. Of all the legends that gathered themselves about the Christmas season none is so rich in love as the old. old story of the three Magi. Those three mysterious strangers who came silently out of the East. The Magi or Wise Men, were astrologers. They studied the stars; they searched the heavens and when they found the star they followed it as they knew it portended the birth of Christ, the King. They were surprised at the stupidity of Herod and the Jews, not knowing the prophecies, but ignorant and indifference did not deter them. They diligently searched for the Child. When they found Christ they worshipped Him. These Wise Men were men of great wisdom. They found our Saviour in a manger. Poor surroundings. Appearances were against Him, for a king, no splendor. Yet they fell on knees and worshiped Him. How careful are we to do homage to the officials of state and municipality, but I bring to you notice this morn the Babe of Bethlehem. Oh, let us worship Him, the gift supreme. The Wise Men gave gifts of frankincense, gold, myrrh. Frankincense for his Priesthood; gold as a Prince; Myrrh as a King. If Jesus should come to Kansas City this morning would our homes be opened to Him. He wants our hearts. Will you let Him dwell there? Two persons were converted; four joined the church. The ordinance of Baptism was administered to seven. At 6 p. m. the Sabbath School gave its program consisting of carols, readings, recitations and beautiful Christmas tree which delighted the hearts of old and young. Mrs. Hodge had charge of the program and each participant reflected credit and showed careful training. Mrs. Hodge is the directress of music for the Sabbath school. The message of the Christmas spirit was splendidly given. At 8 p. m. the pastor preached. His subject: "The World's Redeemer." Text, Luke 2:11. A splendid discourse was given. The choir. directed by Prof. Reynolds sang as if inspired at both morning and evening services. Mrs. Ada Garnett Messley and Miss Adeline Jordan rendered solos which were the embodiment of the true Christmas spirit, so lovely did they sing. Rev. J. C. C. Owens worshipped with us also Rev.

HOW JAPAN GREETS NEW YEAR Custom of Oriental Countries ts to Give Special Performances in the Play Houses. ‘PRE Oriental methods of sreeting the New Year differ greatly from ours. In Japan, as well as in other Oriental countries, special perform- ances are given in the theaters. In the temples and shrines priests and attendants entertain the people with special dances. The Kagura, or Sacred Dance With Music, is the fa- vorite, for while it is being given prayers are offered for the continued happiness of the nation during the coming year. This very old dance Is performed by young* girls, while the priests are the musicians. All are in appropriate costume. Another ceremonial, which has been handed cown for centuries, is the Shu- Sal, or Dance of the Ancestral Sanc- tuary. This is given within the palace by the imperial family on Januery 3. and it celebrates the founding of the Imperial honse, centuries agv. DR. W. H.

He is a great leader of men, and is now the real president of the National Baptist convention, elected to succeed Dr.'E. C. Morris, who has crossed the river, and is now at rest. I wonder if when people get to heaven there will be nothing to do but rest. Is it to be a place of laziness or activity. I wonder why some people would want to rest, for they have not done anything down here. If you do not work then why should you rest all the time? Some people don't do anything but rest. They were never known to pray in church, to take part in any church activities, nor did they ever do anything for the suffering, and yet they claim they are going to spend eternity in heaven resting. I have never understood this rest business. Rest means that one is tire from some kind of work. I would like to quote from Edgar Guest. He says: When a task you once begin, Keep at it! It may baffle you today Men may laugh at your dismay, But some day you'll find the way, Keen at it." Earn your place in heaven, and then when you get there be prepared to render any possible service. So many people have left here for heaven and some day we will all have to join them. I have been on the go myself. I have been full of activity during the past year. I have rendered a service that will count. I have received any number of cards, and tokens of value from friends. Prof. John R. Hawkins, the financial secretary of the African Methodist church, and one of the finest the church has ever had in this world, and I am sure that he will be retained.

Johnson, sent me a real live turkey; and so did Bishop William Decker Johnson, and his friends, and Dr. F. Jesse Peck, send me a real good goose, fat and fine, and I stepped into him last Sunday.

I have almost lost my health in seeking information. I want to express my thanks to all who have said a kind or unkind word about me, and who have given me a cheering word as I have gone through this world. I want to join in with the Baptists, and then I want to join in with the Methodists. I want the Methodist to elect S. J. Johnson church extension secretary; Rev. John A. Gregg a bishop, Rev. Mance of South Carolina a bishop, and some others. I will tell you about them from time to time. I will have much to say to you this week. God bless you. Write to me when you can do so. I will bring this letter to a stop. J. O. MIDNIGHT. FORT SCOTT, KANSAS. Rev. C. R. Tucker, D.D., of Atchison has been assisting Rev. Tidman in a 12-days meeting at Wayman Chapel.
