DR. J. O. MIDNIGHT ABLE TO TAKE THE ROAD AGAIN AFTER THREE WEEKS TREATMENT Vol. IX SAYS BUGS HAVE BEEN CHASED OUT OF HIS HEAD Indianapolis, Ind.—I am as happy as a June bug on a bright July day in a blackberry patch, eating juicy blackberries and I am sure that you would be, too, if you were in my place. I have been kept in big Chicago for three whole weeks, while Dr. George Cleveland Hall was chasing the bugs out of my head, and making them close the hole which Dr. S. H. Thompson, surgeon and physician put in there just four weeks ago. There was one thing about this chasing business, Dr. Hall forced them to close the hole behind them, so that they could not return. For three weeks he worked at this and one day he told me that I was discharged, handed me a pair of new suspenders to hold my pants up, and then handed me a twenty dollar bill to help to tote me out of Chicago, and that is going some. May God bless these doctors who have contributed to keeping me here on earth, so you will be able to read this letter from me, don't you see? I had many things to say in Chicago, and witnessed many things. I had the pleasure of going to a reception given by the officers and members of Olivet Baptist church, to their pastor, Dr. L. K. Williams, the newly elected president of the National Baptist convention, and a man of worth and ability. I wish you could have been at this reception, for there were big doings among the Baptists. You see all the secretaries of the National Baptist convention, were there, Rev. J. E. East of Philadelphia, of the Foreign Mission Board; W. F. Lovelace, D. D., Wynn, Ark., of the Home Mission Board; E. W. D, Isaacs, D. D; of the B. Y, P. U. Board; W. H. Holloway, of Helena, Ark., of the National Baptist Benefit Board; A. M. Townsend, D. D., M. D., of the Sunday Publishing Board; Sutten E. Griggs, Memphis, Tenn., National. Educational Board; M. S. McCrutchen, D. D. Memphis, Church Extension Board; and in addition to this the state Convention Boards of Illinois all had their meetings, and this all made a great big meeting. All departments of state work were there, hence you see when you get them with the others and citizens and church people you have something on hand. The meeting of the Secretaries were held in the church of which the Rev. Dr. S. E. J. Watson, is pastor, and state meetings were held in the church of which the Rev. Dr. Eptie is pastor. The big doings were pulled off Wednesday, with a turkey dinner and other things in. Olivet and then followed the reception in the auditorium of the church, and the serving of refreshingments to several thousand people and still there was much left over. The exercises opened with "Ameri- CARD OF APPRECIATION. I want to extend my thanks and appreciation through. The Advocate to my many friends who gave an expression of confidence in me by their unaltering support at our last primary election, as a candidate for the office of clerk of the District Court, and also since my defeat for the warm words of regret, you have personally expressed. Faithfully yours, J. H. GRENROOD, Deputy Sheriff. Mr. Albert Miller's house, 1010 State avenue, caught on fire Sunday morning, but was extinguished before much damage was done, the roof being partly burned. Mrs. C. S. Young, 337 North Ninth street, after several weeks' illness, is able to be out and attended her church Sunday. Mr. C. H. Mayer has returned to his home in Chicago after visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. White; 116 Garfield, and his aunt, Mrs. A. A. Rayston, 1105 Freeman avenue. - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 ca," and scripture lesson by Dr. C. H. Clark, and prayer by Dr. L. A. Weaver and Dr. J. H. Branham, introduced the master of ceremonies, Dr. D. H. Harris, pastor of Shiloh, and he made some speech, and there were many other speeches, Dr. E. T. Martin, pastor of Nethesed, Rev. H. H. Harris, from St. Louis, Mo., who came to be present; Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, one more solo by Mrs. W. L. Petty, and I wish you could have heard Dr. Williams introduced by Dr. Sutten E. Griggs. Dr. Williams many nice things about those who were his friends during the St. Louis meeting, and declared he would never forget them. Here I am away from there now, and Dr. Williams toted Dr. L. G. Jordan to Excelsior Springs, Mo., to try to get him well. He is acting as a father to Dr. Jordan, and we are all praying for him to be restored to health. Well, such is life, and we will devote our time to looking after these things. The whole country regrets that that great and good man, Dr. L. G. Parks, should have been called away from us so-soon after the convention, and as to the cause of his death, it is not known. He was just one of the men the Lord was ready to take him, and when he was called he just folded his arms and returned to God. That is all he had to do. I am informed that some of the people say that it was due to the fact that he was not elected president of the National Baptist Convention, but I think that it is a mistake. There comes a time that we must all end life, and that is true, and when the Lord was ready for Dr. Parks, he just took him unto Himself, and no one could say anything about it. I had the pleasure of visiting the home of the Grand Worthy Matron of the Order of Eastern Star of Illinois, Mrs. Emma Kennedy, and destroyed my share of duck and other good things, and then I met some other big dignataries. I enjoyed it very much, until now I am feeling like I am some pumpkin. We are going to do great things this year. John H. Stewart is at his home, sick, but he will soon be out, and his brother-left town, and the other brother is in Frankfort, Ky., and things are just on the go. All eyes are now being turned on the Grand Pythian Bath House in Hot Springs, which is being completed and will be dedicated January 31, by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, and others. This is a wonderful contribution to humanity, by the Pythians and will result in the saving of many lives, and nine may be included. I am delighted with this old world of ours, and I am proud of the record made by Sir S. W. Green. He is a wonderful man, and while some may not like him, that is a point in his favor. He knows the law of the Judge. Wm. Harrison of Chicago, stopped at Mr. and Mrs. H. Dwiggins while here. He spoke also, at Leavenworth, Lawrence, Sumner high and Stowe school. He will return home in about a week. Mrs. S. Rollins is up and was able to attend the Installation Banquet. Mrs. Virginia Eliot, attended the great banquet, also Miss R. Johnson.

Western Christian Recorder, Dear Editor: Just a few notes from Shaffer Theological Seminary of Western University. Under the most proficient instruction of Dean E. R. Vaughn, assisted by Prof. E. S. M. Dinsmore and Dean A. H. Jones, Shaffer Theological Seminary of Western University, is now equal to any of its kind. The subjects taught are the most modern and best that can be found treating upon religion and Theology, which will thoroughly prepare leaders along all lines of religious work. This year we have an enrollment of twenty-one wide-awake Christian young people; twenty young men and one young lady. These students are very much enthused over their work and are studying diligently to become thoroughly prepared in order to serve the ever waiting laymen who are thirsting for the truth from well informed minds, inspired of God. Many of the students are already pastoring as well as taking their divinity work in the seminary. These workers for the Master presented their annual Christmas program, Friday morning December 22, 1922. It was very impressive and pleasing to both faculty and student body, and every heart was inspired to do more in the name of the lowly Nazarene. The students of the Seminary ask the prayers of the entire church to aid them in their quest for religious knowledge. HARRISON NEWMAN, A PROMINENT CITIZEN, PASSES AWAY. Mr. Harrison Newman, one of our old and most substantial citizens, passed away Sunday night at 10:45, at his home, 1926 North Sixth street. Mr. Newman was only confined to the house from Thursday of last week, taking with a chill Wednesday evening, after coming home from his work. He was 65 years old, coming here from Tennessee, 40 years ago and was known as one of our best citizens and a devout Christian. He leaves a lovely wife, who has been confined to the house with sickness for quite awhile, one daughter, Mrs. Maggie Smith of Omaha, Neb; three sisters, Mrs. Cassie Norman, Parsons, Mrs. Mary Lowe, Wichita and Mrs. Emma Grubb, Iola and two brothers—Rev. David Newman, Rosedale and Lawson Newman, Iola, all living in Kansas. The funeral was held from the First A. M. E. church Thursday at 2 p.m., of which he had served faithfully for many years and was leader of class number 20, until recently for many years. Rev. J. F. Griffin, his pastor, officiated, assisted by request, by Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Topeka, and Rev. J. C. C. Owens of this city and presiding elder of the Parsons district. The funeral was largely attended and the floral offerings, showed the respect of a large concourse of people. His wife, Mrs. Ellen Newman, the daughter and his relatives have the sincere sympathy of a host of friends in their hour of bereavement. PRESCRIBING DRUGGISTS. It Has Been Determined that Booze is Not the Only Subject of Their Sin. It created no little comment when it was found by governmental investigation that certain drugists were engaged in wrongful practice in regard to booze prescriptions; but the comment was much more unfavorable when it was learned that many of them do not halt at prescribing booze but flagrantly microach upon the field of the physician in prescribing and filling their own medical prescriptions. This practice, it must be conceded, is not only an illegal act, but a grievous and dangerous wrong to the community. It is a gross violation of their relation and duty to the physician who has spent time, money and patience in preparation for his profession, and should be conceded the right which is due him. And it is as grossly and grieviously dangerous to the health and welfare of the people who are thus deprived of the protection and safety due them from the physician's diagnosis and prescription. Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Isaacs, 617 Troup avenue, are proud parents of a 12-pound baby boy. Mother and baby are doing well. The Advocate and a host of friends of Kansas City, Kansas, regret very much the serious illness of Mr. Nelson C. Crews, editor of the Kansas City Sun, who had a stroke of paralysis Thursday of last week. Editor Crews has not been well for nearly a year, but his friends have been hopeful of his recovery and still have hope he may regain his health. Mrs. Jennie Brown, 2212 North Third street, is still confined to the house will illness, but is improving slowly; Mrs. George Stewart, 720 North Thirteenth street, has been confined to her, home for several days with rheumatism. Mr. Richard Berry, 742 Oakland avenue, has been confined to the house for a week with illness. Officer Hardy, 820 Freeman, who has been sick for a number of weeks, is still confined to his room and is not doing so well as his friends would like to see. Mrs. McMurry of Parsons attended the funeral of Mr. Newman this week. Rev. S. Bacote, pastor of 2d Baptist, Kansas City, Mo., was in attendance at Metropolitan installation banquet. JUDGE HARRISON DELIVERS MASTERFUL AD- DRESS MONDAY NIGHT TO PACKED JUDGE HARRISON DELIVER DRESS MONDAY NIN HOUSE INSTALLATION BANQUET HUGE AFFAIR. Monday evening, January 15, 1923, marked a great epoch in our city. Over 1,600 people attended the Installation banquet for Rev. Bronson and family, and to hear Judge Harrison of Chicago, speak. Standing room everywhere was at a premium. After classic selections by the Forum orchestra, Mrs. I. Wood introduced Mr. T. Davis, as Master of Ceremonies, and after prayer by Rev. Battles, he introduced Judge Wm. Harrison of Chicago. His subject was "The Hour Is Come." The vast audience listened enraptured at the flow of pure English of this great man as he narrated incidents of history, science and art, in showing the condition of the world today. He said in part, that "whatever elevates one race, elevates another race; the law violator does not represent all of the colored race; any more than it does all of the white race. No man's color can speak; it is the man inside; there is more lynching and confusion than when the nation began." His witness were: Dynamiting at New York, Bolshevism organized at Philadelphia, Congress refusing to pass the Anti-Lynching Bill, Mer Rouge, La., Herrin, Ill., miners' murder, etc. Says "Jesus is sifting the nations and wants them to 'do unto others as they'd have them do to them.' Guns can't get peace, but whoever is on the Lord's side will win." Says "our race owes democracy, and it owes us. Outrun the world by forgiveness and co-operation and self defense, educate our children to save and let Jazz alone, and if the 12 or 14 million of us stand together CITIZENS FORUM. Thet Citizens Forum will have its usual excellent program Sunday at Metropolitan Baptist Temple. The hour of meeting is always 4 o'clock p. m. The principal speaker Sunday will be Mr. W. T.

MOTHER JONES SAYS FAREWELL Mrs. Mary Jones, one of the many old citizens who have passed to an unknown world, bid her relatives and friends farewell Wednesday at her late home 715 Oakland avenue. Mother Jones was one who was loved by all who knew her for her kind words and Christian womanhood. She has one son, a minister, Rev. Charles Wood, pastor of the A. M.

Hundreds marched to the banquet hall and listened to toasts led by Dean Rogers, one to Mrs. Bronson by Mrs. N. Davis, "Christian Fellowship" by Father E.M. Wright; and an original poem presented to Judge Harrison by Mme. C. Matthews. All were applauded and Judge Harrison made a beautiful response to the poem and said held cherish it always. The guests enjoyed the excellent menu of. Harriben salad on lettuce, bread and butter sandwiches, Metropolitan brick ice cream, Madam Bronson cake, Helena, Ark., coffee, and punch a la installation. The dining hall was decorated with beautiful lattice work and shades of yellow and black, and natural flowers on many long tables. The ladies' fine costumes showed advantageously, also the gentlemen's. All departed with one mind, "Long live Rev. Bronson here," and Judge Wm. Harrison come again as soon as possible: "Vivia la Metropolitan." Mrs. A. T. Marr was chairman of the reception committee. Mesdames Pickens, Carrie Taylor, A. S. Dow and Richardson and others decorated the church. Rev. Bacote and many others from Kansas City, Missouri were present. ALLEN CHAPEL WELCOMES ITS NEW MINISTER. We knew that he was somewhere in this broad country of ours; that God had raised him up to be prepared for the hour in which this call should come. We knew, yet at times we doubted and that is why he was withheld from us for more than two months. But finally casting all doubt to the wind we rested our burden on the altar, well knowing that God hears and answers prayer; and the answer to that prayer has taken form in the person of Rev. Edward Wittenberg, B. D., formerly of St. James A. M. E. church, New Orleans, La., being sent to pastor, Allen Chapel, Kansas City, Mo. For which we thank God for guiding our beloved Bishop Parks in the right direction. Rev. Wittenberg embodies all that we hoped he would—well bred, a pleasing personality, a sweet singer, a pulpiteer, and above all a christian gentleman. We welcome him and his loved ones into our midst. Already new life and inspiration have entered into Allen Chapel. Standing on the threshold of a new year with such a leader we look forward to a successful future in which we hope to bring many souls to Christ and to grow spiritually and financially. To Rev. Wittenberg and family we say welcome, thrice welcome to Allen Chapel. DELIA H. MOSEL Reporter. TRY THE ADVOCATE A YEAR—SUBSCRIBE NOW, WITH THE NEW YEAR.

A fine lesson for any one. Mr. C. Griffith at 925 Washington boulevard, is still quite sick. SHORTAGE ASCRIBED TO AUTO the Nut Supply. The old-fashioned shellbark hickory nut has virtually disappeared from the market. Inquiry in five New York stores which deal exclusively in nuts failed to produce a single one. Until a few years ago the shellbark nut was staple and was considered one of the most toothsome of all varieties. Then automobile manufacturers created an enormous demand for hickory wood used in wheels and bodies. This rapidly diminished the supply of nuts. A blight which affected the meat of the nut and caused a decay has also been partly responsible. In the rural districts hickory trees may still be found, but in no large groups. The black walnut, which, with the hickory nut, has always been considered typically American, is still to be had. Its popularity never wanes and the supply is normal. Asphalt to Kill Mosquitoes. In an effort to overcome the mosquito at Trinidad, in the West Indies the open drains are being sprayed with liquid asphalt. It was found that clearing the drains of grass was not only expensive but ineffective, for the heavy tropical rains often washed down the banks, leaving little pools of water, in which mosquitoes bred freely, scattered along the sides. Asphalt is spread along the drains and burned, while a combination of oil is thrown on to provide the heat necessary to volatilize its lighter constituents. One Exception. "This year," observed Professor Jones, the instructor in chemistry, "I have a stupid lot of students. Here's one paper which shows plainly that the lad who wrote it doesn't understand that expansion and contraction are contradictory terms." "They aren't always," said Professor Smith, the instructor in economics, "Now in my classes I find it necessary to state explicitly the fact that the constant contraction of debts is sure to result in their expansion." Foreign and Domestic "Do you think people are as apprehensive as they used to be of foreign entanglements?" "No," replied Senator Sorghum. "Divorce sensations, not to mention murder mysteries, appear to have centered the popular mind on domestic entanglements." An Alimirable Attribute "Can you mention even one good result produced by jazz?" we sternly demanded. "Certainly!" replied Uncle Fogy. "Jazz renders professional musicians so furious that temporarily, at least, they forget to strut and pose and tell how good they are."—Kansas City THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F.

CHURCH NEWS If the attendance is any indication of a people becoming more religious, it is being demonstrated at First church every Sunday morning, as its pews are occupied to their full capacity, in the main auditorium, with a seating of nearly one thousand and often hundreds in the gallery. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, while not as strong physically as his many warm friends and church would love to see—but were none less power—in his sermon Sunday morning, in his series of special sermons. The principle and main thought of these sermons have been "Is Christ a Necessity?" Sunday the minister, in one of his most logical and concrete arguments of "Why Christ Is a Necessity" was so plain, simple and with such a warmth and mellowing of living gospel philosophy, no—not one could deny the power and necessity of Christ. Dr. Griffin filled his pulpit again at 7:30 p. m. and delivered his second strong sermon of the day. Several joined the church during the day. The Sabbath school at 9:30 in the morning, is well attended, but still there are many children in the community who do not attend the Sunday school. The Senior and Junior Leagues at 5:30 and 6:30 p. m., are both helpful and interesting to those, who attend. The death of Brother Harrison Newman Monday, one of the old heroes of the church came, with quite a shock to the church.

The pastor preached a logical and instructive sermon at 11 a. m., from Luke 18-1, "And He spake a parable unto them to this end." Men ought always to pray and not to faint. Subject: Jesus and prayer. The practice of praying is better than attempting to present a philosophy of prayer. Jesus never did present a philosophy of prayer but often prayed. So much depends on our thought of God if as he is sometime coldly conceived he is simply the God of the Universe, the great architect and so forth, but Jesus called God His father, and taught us the same fond lauage. It must be a stupid child that cannot talk to its Father. It is its very nature to have the freest intercourse. Jesus came into the world where He found men praying and he did not forbid them, but encouraged them. If Jesus, with all His native strength, having no sin and needing no forgiveness, felt the need of prayer as the necessary outlet for His deepest moods as the means of replenishing vital spiritual resources and supplies, how much more ought we poor, weak creatures, with our greater need and the pressure of sinfulness from within and without find refuge in prayer. There is no obligation that we should be asking always, for a great variety of things. Our very need is a prayer to God; our sinfulness is a cry for pardon; our weakness for strength; our ignorance for enlightenment. There are times when feeling is so intense that words refuse to come. When the woes of life crush us, we can only sigh and moan. Sometimes we can not make a prayer, we have no language, but a tear. At such times we know not how to pray as we ought. But the spirit maketh intercession for us. Men ought never to say that they cannot pray. Prayer is not a matter of diction. Prayer is the soul's sincere desire Uttered or unexpressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh The falling of a tear The upward glancing of an eye When none but God is near. Gor God understands all languages. He heard David in Hebrew. St. Luke in Greek. Jerome in Latin. Calvin in French. Luther in German. He understands all dialects. Chinese, African, yes, He made good sense out of the illiterate petitions of the slaves in the Southland. O may we say with the disciples this morn "Lord, teach us to pray." B. Y. R. U. Group No. 2, led by Brother J. Jefferson. Brother Moberly instructed the lesson and 'twas well instructed. To miss the union is to miss something worth while. Eight o'clock the pastor preached from John 20-21. A splendid sermon. Souls were made to rejoice and others joined the church; so sented our services. A welcome awaits all who attend our services. YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS DUE JANUARY 1, 1923. WILD ANIMAL "ALARM CLOCK" Screams of "Howler Monkey" Can Be Guaranteed to Arouse the Soundest Sleeper From Slumber. Often in the great forests of the Amazon, or Orinoco, in South America, a tremendous noise is heard in the night or early morning, as if a great assemblage of wild beasts were roaring and screaming together. The noise may be heard for miles, yet it is all produced by a single howler-monkey, slitting on the branches of some lofty tree. The howler is enabled to make this extraordinary noise by means of an organ that is possessed by no other animal. The lower jaw is unusually deep and this makes room for a hollow, bony vessel, about the size of a walnut. This vessel is under the root of the tongue, and has an opening into the windpipe by which the animal can force air into it. This increases the power of the howler's voice to an enormous degree. The howlers are large and stout-bodied monkeys, with bearded faces and very strong, grasping tails. They inhabit wildest forests and it is not very often that the natives can make captives of them.

A rejected sutor wants to recover the money he spent on flowers, candy, theater tickets and other incidentals of the chase. The young woman ought to be glad to relinburse him and thank her lucky stars that he failed to win her.

In this sixth annual edition not only has,much new material been added, but the information contained: in previous * volumes has been revised, re-written and brought down to date. Over one hundred pages are devoted to a review of the events of 1919-1921 as they affect the interests and show the progress which, in the Reconstruction Period since the close of thé World War, the Negro is making. — The Negro Year Book is tle standard work of. reference on all matters relating. to the Negro ard’is the most_extensively ustd compendium of information on this subject. It circulates widely-in every part of the United States and to a considerable extent in Canada, the West Indies, Central America, -South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. . The success of prévious years has demonstrated that there is a, need for a book which provides in an inexpensive form a * subcinct, comprehensive and impartial review of the events which affect the interests and indicate the progress Negroes are making. -The Negro Year Book meets this need and at the same time furnishes a compact but comprehensive statement of Historical and Statistical facts arranged for ready reference. It is at once a permanent record of current events, an encyclo- paedia of Historical and Sociological facts, a directory of per- sons, and a bibliographical guide to the literature of the sub- jects discussed. The Negro Year Book has the most extended and compre- hensive bibliography which has been put out on the Negro in the United States. In addition to the topically arranged biblio- graphies at the end of the book, the reader will find throughout the volume, in connection with special topics, further references to the subjects discussed. This is helpful to the student who wishes | to pursue further the investigation of any particular subject The 1921-1922 Negro Year Book, in addition to its interest for the general reader, is even more than the previous volumes especially adapted for use in schools where Historical and Socio- logical courses on the Negro are given.
