H. R First Bapti ```markdown ``` MARCH 16,1923 8:15 P.M. FIFTH AND NEBRASKA AVE. Kansas City, Kansas. ADMISSION 25 CENTS --- Vol. IX —SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 SCHOOLS VISITED BY PATRONS. Through the courtesy of Mr. A. J. Neely, supervisor of our colored schools, a number of the patrons made up of men and women, were invited to attend some of our graded schools Monday. The party met the supervisor at 8:45 at Stowe school, Mr. Sherman Scruggs, principal. We found enrolled in this, the second largest of our schools, 938 pupils, with grades from one Primary to and including the eighth grade. Led by the supervisor—the principal, the party started in room one and visited each room. Now to do justice to the large corps of teachers, none of them were aware of our coming until the party arrived at the building. We found in each of these rooms a courteous and pleasant teacher, who showed they were interested in the work and greatly in love with their pupils and not merely putting in the time. The children with their sweet little faces and sparkling eyes, demonstrated their love and devotion to their teacher and their little brain boxes were anxious and active when the supervisor would ask, when entering the room, if they wanted to work. It was a beautiful and encourageing sight to see every hand go up and the work exhibited by them, in spelling, writing, history, geography, reading, arithmetic, music and other activities, were marvelous. Each one trying to excel the other. Closing at noon, at Stowe, the patrons, with others added, went to Dunbar, where we found that queen of principals, Miss Ella Robinson, in charge. What has been said of Stowe school can easily be said of Dunbar. Here we found an enrollment of 510 carrying the same number of grades with an efficient corps of teachers, whose love and devotion to their pupils were exhibited, in every room and the pupils in many ways told to the visitors their love and respect for their teachers. Here, as at Stowe, the pupils were ready and anxious to place themselves on exhibition and display their knowledge before their guests and we must say it was done in a highly satisfactory manner. We found the discipline in both of these schools good in the school room and on the playground. It was a day well spent and profitable to the patrons.

Some of you cannot see, hence you will just take time and listen and I am going to tell you just a few things this week, and when I am through I will stop, and you will be willing to sing, "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flov." There is no room in this world for empty headed men and women, and long since the world has decided that you must use your head for something more than a hat rack, and so many people are trying to turn their heads into think-tanks, and in doing this they are helping the world. Look where I was last week, and see where I am this week. I am just in the midst of brain, thought, power and money, and I am just shouting all over this man's town, and some people have thought that I was a little off up stairs, but I am just rejoicing. I want you to shout with me. You see when I took my pen in hand last week I was way down yonder in Miami-mingling with Bishop John Hurst, and we just got in that same automobile car carraige and toted ourselves back to Jacksonville, where I was the guest of Rev. and Mrs H. Y. Tooks. I just talked with Grand Master Powell, rode in the automobile car carriage of Rev. John E. Ford, and had the Service laundry, operated by Miss Ertha M. M. White, to clean up my shirts and other things, and called on one trained nurse who is nursing in the county hospital, Miss Leola Redding, and then I was off for St. Augustine, Florida, to spend a few days with Prof. N. W. Colier, the great educator of the race and a man of great ability. WALNUT BOULEVARD BAPTIST CHURCH. The services for Sunday, February, 17th were well attended. The singing of the two choirs was excellent. The sermon by our pastor, Rev. J. R. Richardson, was well taken. His text was: "And He Received Him Joyfully." His subject was: "A little phyisque, but a big soul." Come out early next Sunday and hear a special prepared sermon. The subject will be: "The Dean of Doubters." DR. BOLDEN TO PREACH AT ST. PETERS CHURCH. Rev. H. L. Bolden will preach at St. Peter's C. M. E. church next Thursday evening, Rev. Bolden was pastor of this church for some years and is known as one of the great preachers of the two Kansas Citys. He is now pastor of Jamison Temple on the Missouri side. The public is invited to hear this eloquent gospel minister. MRS. FOWLER PASSES AWAY. The death angel came to the home of Mrs. W. M. Fowler, 339 Garfield avenue, last Sunday and took away his wife, after only a few days, illness. Mrs. Fowler had not been so well for some time, but nothing serious was anticipated until a few days before her death. They came here about five years ago from Mississippi and were splendid citizens. Both were members of First A. M. E. church, from where the deceased's funeral was held Wednesday afternoon. Her pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin officiating. The husband and relatives have the sympathy of their neighbors and many friends in their hour of sorrow. Volney Blake, 830 Nebraska avenue, has been home for a week with lagrippe. Mr. Lindsay Taylor, 1143 Grand View Blvd., has been confined to the house for several days with a severe attack of lagrippe, but is improving to the delight of his friends. I am going to return there, and I shall devote almost a whole letter to tell you about this young man and what he is doing and those associated with him in his school work. For I left there after spending two nights for this place, and you listen to me on this question. I am here to witness the dedication of a girls' dormitory which cost just $65,000 for the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute for Negro Girls. At the head of this school is one of the most remarkable women of our race, Mrs. Mary McLoed Bethune, who is just the embodiment of refinement and culture, and you would never mistake her for a white woman, unless you call coal white. I think you would enjoy having me tell you a few things about the woman and her work, and you will thank God with me, that we have such a remarkable woman. Daytona Normal and Industrial School was founded by Mrs. Mary McLoed Bethune, October 3, 1904, and has had a remarkable growth. But you will want to know who she is. I am not able to tell you all, but she is a daughter of parents who were slaves. She came into the world via a three room log cabin on a little cotton and rice farm three miles out from Mayesville, S. C., but just how many years ago I do not know, but her mother was the mother of seventeen of them, and she was only one of the number. Her parents were slaves. While they were not permitted to attend school yet they were willing to educate their children for usefulness. But this young woman had a special training, for she was thrifty, industrious and attracted attention of others who were willing to encourage CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere thanks to our friends and neighbors for the kindness and sympathy shown us in the loss of our dear husband, father and brother, Mr. Albert Miller Also for the beautiful floral offerings We do especially wish to thank the Rev. William. Bowren, Busy Bee lodge, the employees of Armour's packing plant, and Mrs. Grace Chester Mrs. Lizse Pullan and Mrs. Fannie Carr for the very sweet musical numbers. MRS. ALICE MILLER, wife, MR. ROBERT MILLER, JR., Son. MRS. ALICE BAILEY, Sister, MR. ROBERT M. MILLER, and MR. LOUIS MILLER, brothers. Mae said to Sue: "I think it worth while to hear Mme. Prince, reader versatile." At First Baptist, March 16. CARD OF THANKS. I hereby express my thanks to my many friends, neighbors, relatives, Washington Temple, Mary Magdalene Court No. 5, Police Relief Association, Junior Stewardess Board, for the kindness and sympathy extended me during the illness and death of my beloved husband, John W. Hardy, who departed this life February 13, 1923. I. especially thank those who read such beautiful words of consolation, the First A. M. E. Choir for the music rendered, Rev. Bowren of the First Baptist Church, Rev. Payne, Rev. Griffin of the First A. M. E. church, who spoke so encouragingly over my dead; also for the beautiful floral offerings—Elizabeth Hardy, wife.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. THOUGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Death is an unwelcome visitor at any time to one who is in the full power of his being. Held by a body that has been afflicted for a long time the soul may long for release. Nature has been so kind that the body wastes away resignation becomes the stronger. It is the salve of dissolution. But how different to be in the full bloom of a strong, vigorous manhaad, to have spent years laboring for the good of humanity; to have healed the sick, raised the dead, and in every thought, word and deed worked for the good of humanity, and then to forsee one's own crucifixion at the hands of those whom he came to help—is painful indeed. It takes continued prayer to enable one to withstand the ingratitude about him. Such was the condition of Christ at Gethsemene. The dark, silent night passes slowly to those who are sick and afflicted. How they wonder at others who can sleep so soundly. Under such conditions it seems that the sick ought to sleep sweetly and the well should be wakeful. But as followers of Christ are we watchful or asleep? Is it not the personality of Christ but the cause that we serve. Christ was no respector of persons, not even his own when it came to the cause for which he was sent. It was a struggle but the beauty of the Christ idea was revealed when he said: "Nevertheless not my will but Thine be done." This is obedience personified. Those who fail to take advantage of every opportunity to do good are asleep. The evils and follies that go unchallenged gives evidence that the followers are asleep. Can we not watch one hour? Can we not watch through the short span of our life's journey, let it be seven or seventy The times call for a watchful Christian fellowship. Judas represents the one who fails to live up to his highest opportunities in the home, the church, the state and the government at large. And sooner or later how intense the remorse, the anguish of soul. Lost fellowship. Lost hope. A lost soul. With what torture memory lashes the soul. This, sad, cheerful, soul-stirring lesson should stimulate renewed hope and determination in the heart of every one to make the most of every remaining moment. Away with Judas' thoughts, words and deeds. Be loyal to home, church, state and nation. This disturbed world needs your loving, cheerful services. G. A. GREGG, Executive Secretary Paseo Y. M. C. A. Do you want to laugh and smile? Hear Mme. Prince, reader versatile. At First Baptist, March 16. Mr. Percy Cox from Monroe, La., joined Metropolitan church Sunday night. Mrs. Mary Sullivan and Mrs. B. C. Scott, at 817 Freeman, are sick in bed. Mrs. I. V. Brown is up and attends church again. Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Johnson, Mesdames M. C. Matthews, Bush Ann Anderson and several other colored people, attended the funeral ceremonies of the late Mansignor Father Huhls, at St. Mary's Cathedral, Fifth and Ann avenue.

This question, with emphasis has gone into the ears of the unsaved about us in most every part of the city in the past two weeks or more than probably has been heard in all their lives. Twenty-six gospel bands out of First church, distributed and covered about every part of the city, holding house meetings nightly, praying, singing and talking, saying to the unsaved "Where Will You Spend Eternity?" Sinners are attending these meetings in all parts of the city and many are being saved and connecting themselves with some church. A life changed is a life saved. Sunday services were well attended by christians and non-christians, and a spiritual wave passed through the audience. Rev. J. F. Griffin filled his pulpit and delivered a Holy Ghost sermon, in a plain outspoken gospel truth. Some rejoiced, some quivered, some forsook their sins and some stiff-necked it out through the sermon, probably never to have a desire or opportunity to make a change of their filthy garment of sin for a robe of righteousness. It was a wonderful sermon and men and women shuddered in their seats and six picked themselves up and came to the altar at the close of the sermon and one at the evening service. At 3 p. m. the Pulpit Aid Board held their Annual services, Rev. E. Wittenberg, the new pastor of Allen Chapel, Kansas City, Mo., preaching the anniversary sermon. He preached on love, "God is Love." Dr. Wittenberg is a strong spiritual preacher, full of Christian truths and the power of God t oback him up in driving into the minds and hearts of his hearers. His large audience drank in his words of Love until their cups were running over. Seventy-five or more of Dr. Wittenberg's members accompanied him and added fire to the service. Dr. Griffin delivered another fine discourse at the 7:30 p. m. service to one of the best evening audiences for a long time. The Sunday night's congregation seem to be growing, since the gospel bands have started. Men and women and especially the young people waking up to the fact that the church is the safest house to abide in for a time, than any other house, open for their reception. One is always safe in God's house. Tonight (Friday) is quarterly love feast, Presiding Elder J. S. Payne will be present and in charge. Come.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation came to worship Sunday, March 4th. After the voluntary, Rev. Battles prayed and the choir sang the beautiful spirituelle, "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray." Then Pastor Bronson delivered a most wonderful sermon on how God in order to make the Hebrews, the chosen people understand the greatness of Christ, the only and greatest High Priest, sent Mechisidek from Salem to Abraham in a vision, as the forerunner of Christ, who then had not come. Abraham conceived the idea and developed it in his seed and then God came and told Moses what to do. Paul, the giant missionary of the Protestant and Christian church, was speaking to the Hebrews when he said: "We have a High Priest made from a life eternal, which is Jesus, our Advocate." Then God's Spirit sat upon our Pastor and upon all true Christians present and they shouted and gave glory to God while hearing this powerful sermon. Many united with the church, while they sang, "Jesus Paid It All." Brother Banks gave the closing prayer. Deacon Johnson had asked the Pastor to preach about Melachisidek. At 8 p. m. Deacon Thomas prayed and the choir sang "On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand." Pastor Bronson took his text from John 18:37. "To this end was I born and for this cause cime I into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth." He portrayed the "Trial of Jesus Christ," so vividly that many shouted as the spirit gave them utterance. "Twas one of the greatest meetings since he has preached for us. Since Jesus Came into my Heart was sung and then the Lord's Supper was administered to hundreds. The choir sang by the piano "Blest Be the Tie," and "When They Crucified My Lord." Some were converted. The collection was over $110. Next Sunday night, March 11th, some converts will be baptised. Come to Metropolitan. The rich and poor, the great and small, and every nation is invited to Metropolitan Sunday school, B. Y. P. U. and services, 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Mrs. A. S. Dow at 827 Nebraska, has been quite sick and is still sick. Mme Osborne played at Sumner High for Metropolitan, Thursday night. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH (Quindaro, Kansas) C. R. TUCKER, PASTOR. Services Sunday School 9:30 A.M. Preaching 11 A.M. Allen League, 6:30 P.M. Evening Service, 7:30 P.M. A fine congregation assembled on the Lord's Day at the 11 o'clock service for worship. The pastor, Rev. C. R. Tucker, filled his pulpit, taking his text from Proverbs 27 chapter and the 18th verse, Subject: "Religious Truth is Substantial and not a Shadow. The minister delivered a most scholarly sermon and made it plain that one born of God had real spiritual weight and power and not an imitation or a shadow of religious truth. It was greatly felt by his hearers and many were strengthened, who were feeble, in the knowledge of Christ's power. The pastor preached another gospel sermon at 7:30 p. m., to a nice audience, taking his text from Daniel 7th chapter and 10th verse, Subject: "Unseen Vision." Souls were made to rejoice and those who absented themselves from God's house missed a blessing. The Sabbath school and Allen League are trying hard to build up these two departments of the christian work and solicit the families, in this community to give them their support in sending their children to them if you will not accompany them, to be instructed in the Christ life. The trains, in-the Rail Road rally, started out on their second trip with Mrs. Carrie Green still in the lead, but some are saying the next trip will be a different story as they have been late getting out of the roundhouse. Rev. Mr. Lindsay of Colorado Springs, worshipped with us Sunday morning. Mr. Price is still on the sick list and Mrs. Grigsby is improving. The 20th Century Club met Tuesday at 3 p. m., with Mrs. Daisy Bunch and a splendid meeting was held. - Mrs. Tucker is the president and is being strongly supported by the members. The offering Sunday was $46.00. You will always enjoy the sermon and service at Allen. You are welcome. Sunday was an ideal day. The Little School Brigade" was right on time. Little folk please come out to your Sunday School and make it what it should be. You are doing fine but I see space for advancement. As the morning began to wane toward the service hour, 11 a. m., the pastor and visiting elders ascended the rostrum, after prayerful singing and fervent prayers sent up to God, who reigned, Elder McShane an elderly minister of God read us this interesting lesson from the 4th chapter: "Behold the day cometh that shall burn as an oven," and etc. Then sang an old hymn" (Short meter) "Behold the Leperon Jew," etc. Then Elder E. R. B. Quinn of 2119 Walnut Blvd., had the honor of presenting to those assembled for morning service, Rev. A. S. Mayfield, of Muskogee, Okla. He is a live wire indeed. He came forward after greetings to the audience and asked us to join in and help him sing this sweet refrain, "Jesus is all the world to me." This text was chosen by the speaker, "And he said unto them, 'Go ye also into the vineyard and work; and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.' Matt. 20. His subject was, "Go and call the laborers." He masterfully depicted the vineyard of old and the vineyard of today, which is the chureh. He told us of the laborers who never do anything in this vineyard but grumble, grumble and yet they expect for God to pay them for something they have not done. He said work and they started grumbling. I will not try to write the entire sermon and yet you should have been there. He admonished us to work zealously and unceasingly until we shall hear the final summons which calls us from labor to reward. But if you fail to work you need not expect to hear the summons, for God will not pay us for something we failed to do. At 6:30 p. m. sharp the Bible Band met and they had a wonderful lesson. Would that all members attend this meeting and visitors especially. You will find it worth while. At 8 p. m. Rev. C. U. L. Brown (state cabinet of Arizona) had the honor of reading the evening lesson to us which was 1st Epistle of Peter, 2nd Chapter. After which the choir seemingly warmed up with spiritual fire, sang in a most penetrating manner, "He Lifted Me," "Jesus Paid It All," and "If Jesus Goes With Me, I'll Go." The singing was grand. Rev. May Field then came forward and presented to us this subject or Text: "Come now and all thy house." This had its beginning in the days of Noah when God commanded him to build an ark. We shall not attempt to give you the whole text, but I say this much, he gave it justice, and our hearts burned within us while he preached with us by the way. The Church of God is striving hard to build a new temple and we are asking each and every one to come and assist us. Our door stands ajar and you are cordially invited to come over in Macedonia and worship with us. Those wishing to subscribe please write or call Mrs. Dessie Jackson, 211 Garfield avenue. The Ladies' Sewing Circle met with the charming Mrs. M. J. Thomas, as hostess, assisted by her niece, Miss Nettie Gordan and Mrs. Dessie Jackson. We are doing splendid. Visitors welcome. Our hostess served us assorted sandwiches of pimento cheese and peanut butter, fruit punch and gold cake. All reported a joyous time. The next meeting is with the president, Mrs. Roy Belle, 1903 North 4th street, Kansas City, Kansas. This has been voted on as a permanent meeting place. Mrs. Eliza McLaurian of 119 Greely Avenue is hostess for the next meeting, which is March 16, 1923. Mrs. Mattie Barnette, 406 Virginia, is still confined to her bed. CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD. J. A. Farr Pastor, Kansas City, Mo. Church of the Living God Sunday morning services 11:30 a.m. Sunday School at 1 p.m. Bible Band, 6:30. Preaching at 8 o'clock. Sunday morning we had a wonderful sermon from our pastor, his text being Matthew 16:27: "For the Son of Man Shall Come in the Glory of His Father. With His Angels and Then he shall Reward Every Man According to His Works," which was really enjoyed by all present for the Holy Spirit was also in our midst. Sunday School at 1 p. m. was a lively one; everybody seeming to be quite interested in asking questions and then answering them, being well taught and cast by the pastor. After Sunday School was over we adjourned in favor of 3 o'clock services, which was wonderfully delivered by Rev. A. S. Mayfield of Muskogee, Okla and he made a very interesting lecture on the uplifting of our race, getting great DIRECTORY OF MASONIC LODGES applause. We certainly did appreciate Rev. A. S. Mayfield and we are sorry that he did not have more time to spare here, being on his way to Indiana on business. Rev. J. A. Cook and members of Oakland Avenue church taking an active part. We are always glad to have them with us. Rev. Cook has started a 3-weeks' revival, all are invited. We certainly hope him success. Our Bible Band at 6:30 p. m. is one of the best auxiliaries in the church and we are certainly progressing with it, learning so many good things about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. An oud fashioned class meeting and a wonderful sermon by the pastor completed our day. We also had with us Rev. U. L. Brown, state cabinet of Arizona, who is another of our most able preachers. We all love him. Ladies Aid Sewing Circle meets Thursday afternoon from 1 p. m. to 4 p. m. at Mrs. J. H. Farr, 1012 State Street, Kansas City, Kansas.

A throng of worshippers greeted the pastor and visiting ministers at 11:00 a.m. The splendid choir under the direction of Prof. T. H. Reynolds, was at their best and rendered sweet music. Pastor Bowren was very much pleased to present one of his ministerial colleagues, a native Kentuckian and a friend, to preach, in the person of Rev. L. B. Mitchell, T. H. B., pastor of Second Baptist Church, Lima, O., who preached a logical, spiritual and timely sermon, from Matt. 5-8. "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." Subject: "The basis of the kingdom vision." Men do not see altogether with their eyes but with their hearts, also. We look through the window of our souls. The window is not the light, the light is that which goes in and out. You sang "God Will Take Care of You." That song was born in the heart. The songs our mothers and fathers used to sing, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Steal Away to Jesus" and many more were born in the heart. All of life's great discoveries are born in the heart. All worthwhile literature, are God gives to men with enlightened heart. The quality of personal enjoyment is controlled by the state of the heart if the heart is not pure, the card game the low sensual things is enjoyed, but let the heart be pure there is no enjoyment of such things.

When I look at your church here, a beautiful structure, I know there are men and women in Kansas City whose hearts are tuned with God's, the things you appreciate will determine the things you possess if it is sensual jazz, then you are jazz hearted; but if towering above the low things, his heart is turned aright, you see the things that are eternal and make for your lasting happiness when you come to a strange city the far away from home and friends you see God and the church if not you see the low places. Those who are God-filled joyfully behold him. You must know God. You may not know the different sciences, yea you may be illiterate, but if you are God-filled, pure in heart, you shall see God. Lots of people going to hell on what they believe, but no one goes to hell who lives in God and He in them. This old world wants new life, a new life in the attitude toward God; a new life and a new attitude toward the church. So many put lodges and clubs above God's church. We must have purification in our thoughts and speech. Illumination as to God in Nature—rainfall, storm, sunshine, whatever God does is all right. We ought to see God in others. Jesus saw the good in others. We will accomplish large things with strong faith in God and pure hearts.

THE question of smoking among women is one that shows just how some customs that are absolutely taboo in one generation gain social recognition and acquire a code of manners in the next. In our grandmother's day smoking among women was unheard of—excepting for the occasional old crone who puffed away at her pipe. Today many women smoke. Many well-bred women smoke. And so there has grown up a code of rules about smoking for women. In some of the big city hotels women are allowed to smoke in the dining room. In some of the tea rooms, too, they are. In some, certain parts of the restaurants or tea rooms, like the smutparlor or the palm rooms, are set aside for diners who wish to smoke, both men and women. Strange to say, at one of the gayest New York restaurants women are even now requested not to smoke. If a woman is seen smoking, the waiter brings a little note to her table, written on one of the check blanks, and turns it face down, next to her escort. This requests the woman not to smoke, as the rule of the house is against it. Her only part, of course is gracefully to extinguish her cigarette. Recently a good deal of trouble was raised in England because certain hotels for girls allowed smoking—set aside special smoke rooms. Indeed, the decision caused a split in the organization, it is said. And in this country much indignant protest has been heard because at a certain women's college placards have been posted asking the girls not to smoke in the dormitories—although they are at liberty to do so elsewhere. Now, by general recognition, smoking among women has been taken out of the realm of manners. It is not ill-hired for women to smoke. It is a matter of personal taste. You may object to smoking, just as you may object to any other form of amusement. The mother who does not wish her daughters to smoke should talk to them about it. She can hardly, in these days, take offense if somebody asks them to smoke. However, the really thoughtful woman, the woman more thoughtful of others, would never suggest that a young girl smoke unless she knew that the girl customarily did so.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE The Awakening of Henry By MISS MARTHA EMERY "It doesn't seem right, and it isn't right, either. I know Henry appreciates what I do for him, and he's kind and free-hearted, and all that. But, just the same, unless a man shows some affection for his wife, unless he takes her in his arms once in a while and tells her what she means to him, it hurts pretty badly and it makes her feel that she isn't any more than an ordinary housekeeper. "So you're going to sit up and listen. Henry Elder, and show me a little real affection from now on, or we'll see what's the matter." Nancy Elder was addressing the silver framed photograph of her better half that hung beside her own in the living room of their farmhouse. She had reached this point when the sound of heavy rack wheels driving in the barn doors and a bellowed "Whoa" told her that Henry had come with another load and was waiting for his customary dipper of cold water. It was not until after the supper dishes were washed that night that Nancy again found time to let her thoughts drift along the line of making Henry sit up and take notice. Bobbie and Ania were visiting their Grandma Elder for the week and it seemed rather lonesome when night came not to have them to tuck into bed and read stories to. So, while Henry sat on his side of the table reading the evening paper, Nancy on her side was busy drawing a crochet hook back and forth, and all the while trying to form a plan. For two weeks Nancy spent all her spare time in thinking, and thinking hard. She even tried to get books at the library in town to help her solve the problem, but to no avail. Then, like a light in the dark, a bright idea came into her mind. The Thimble club of Danville had been planning for months for the midsummer fair and carnival. Nancy was an appreciated member. She sewed and quilted and never missed a meeting. And this last week there was extra work to be done, in order that all should be in readiness for the great event. "An especial attraction," the home newspaper put it, "will be the grispy encampment, which will occupy one side of the grounds. The caravan, which plans to arrive here Friday afternoon, have been asked to help in the fair by selling hand-made baskets and telling fortunes." Now Henry Elder was not a man who saw things clearly at once. He was usually quiet and thoughtful in pondering over solutions to problems that vexed him. So it was not strange that he didn't ask questions when he found his wife at the telephone for three nights in succession as he came in to supper. At first he just supposed her talk was with some member of the club and had to do with the carnival. But on the fourth night she was talking with a man and making an arrangement to meet him in the city. Henry was puzzled. Nancy usually remarked with whom she was conversing, but this time she said nothing. Friday night Henry was more troubled than ever. Nancy had been away in town all the afternoon and telephoned that she could not possibly be home for supper. Poor Henry, tired and hungry from an afternoon in the hay field, came in at 5 o'clock to find no warm supper awaiting him. Never before had Nancy left him to resort to a cold cupboard. By 8 o'clock the grounds in front of the town hall were crowded with people moving here and there from one booth to another under the semicircle of colored lights. Henry didn't arrive until 8:30, and then his tie wasn't straight and his suit hadn't been brushed, due to the fact that feminine hands had always attended to him before. Nancy from behind a booth where she was serving punch and cookies saw all and a delightful twinkle shone in her eyes. For the greater part of the evening Henry remained alone, then Mrs. Ed Gibson sought him out and would not be satisfied until he purchased a mystery package of her. Then he must have his palm read, and she led him off to a silken tent. Mrs. Ed had a curious way of making the opposite sex do whatever she wished. So before he realized it he was gently pushed between the tinkling curtains and was being asked to "please take the little seat." On the tiny table an incense lamp was burning, sending a purple and fragrant vapor about the little room. Madame, truly of a Romany type, clad in long, flowing colors and wearing a beaded Oriental bandeau over forehead and eyes, reached across the table to take his hand. Henry placed half a dollar in her palm. "I see at a glance ze gentleman is troubled," said the little gypsy, in a musical, yet serious tone of voice. "And it is ze wife who cause it all," She was studying the lines of his rough hand intently, and Henry was fast becoming interested, in spite, of himself. "Ah, you think she is indifferent of late, and you worry much. If she indifferent, after all, you make her so." "I make her so?" Henry managed to say. Outside the silken tent the crowd was laughing and moving about as joyous as in the earlier part of the evening. But Henry heard not.a sound save the words of the little gypsy. her, but you forget ze kiss, ze love, ze sweet embrace of which every wife need in order to make her content. It is ze happy secret every man must remember. Will the gentleman take, to sooth ze mind?" And so saying, Madame poured him a dainty-little cup of tea. "She thinking about being. There's no more to tell now. Good-night." And the little gypsy parted the silken curtains for Henry to go. It was very late when the Elders arrived home. Both had been silent all the way. Nancy went immediately up to bed without saying as much as "good-night." Henry soon followed. He paused, however, half way up the stairs, and smiled to himself. Why not try the little gypsy's advice? Nancy was sitting before the little dresser, taking down her hair. He walked right over to where she sat, and awkwardly placing one arm about her shoulders and a hand under her chin, kissed her squarely on the lips. Immediately two arms stole up around his neck and Nancy was sobbing against his coat sleeve. He kissed her again and again, calling her "my Nancy," and telling her how much she meant to him. And then, when she became calm, he ventured to ask about her engagement in the city. Nancy lifted her face and smiled into his eyes. "Why, Henry, you weren't worried about that, were you? I had to meet Mr. Brown, the decorator, in order to make arrangements for the carnival." The mist in Henry's eyes cleared and he held his Nancy close. It was long past midnight when a kimono clad clad creep softly down the stalrs and out to the garage. From beneath the back seat of the car she drew forth a package. On her way back she paused before a silver framed photograph in the living room. "I did make you sit up and take notice, didn't I?" And then, opening a closet door, Nancy unlocked a little old-fashioned trunk, opened the package and shook out a flowing gypsy costume and an Oriental bandeau. With a little laugh she placed them in the bottom of the trunk and turned the key. SITUATION CALLS FOR TACT Right and Wrong Ways in Which Guest May Make Amends for Unintentional Damage. Sometimes an embarrassing situation arises when a guest does some real, though unintentional, damage to the property of his host or hostess. He feels that he ought to make amends, yet he does not know whether he can do this without giving offense. For instance, he may inadvertently break some piece of glass or briebrge. In driving a friend's automobile he may permit some slight damage to come to the car. He may even forget to close his bedroom window and feel responsible for the raindrops on the wallpaper or window hangings. Now, the only real reason for giving offense in making an effort to repay lies in the awkwardness with which such an offer is often made. To suggest bully to pay what the damage costs is usually a tactless way to go about it. In the case of the damage done to the automobile, even if this is slight, the guest should inform the owner of the car concerning the damage, and then quite positively announce his intention of settling with the garage man for the repairs needed. However, if a mishap occurs to the automobile that is obviously due to the previous condition of the car, this would hardly be necessary. If the bric-a-brac or glass is of trifling value the incident is usually passed over without suggestion of making amends. If possible the broken article should be replaced by personally buying one to take its place. If any damage is done to some article that cannot be duplicated exactly, the penitent guest should buy something that he thinks will take its place, and send it as soon as possible to his hostess, begging her to forgive him his awkwardness.—Washington Star. "Night Thoughts." I suppose many thousands have heard of Young's "Night Thoughts" to one who has read them; and indeed a man must be an earnest student to embark with a light heart on three hundred pages of moral reflections in herole couplets, and he would not have waded far before all lightness would have left his heart. Nevertheless, some serious people like to have such a book at their bedside. . . . But with most of us in this cheerful age we shall not have penetrated far before we give our adhesion to a line on page 47, "His time, high time, to shift this dismal scene. . . . The "Night Thoughts" have been in the past, and will be in the future, kept alive by the fortunate circumstance that Blake illustrated them when his wonderful genius was at its prime—Stephen Coleridge. Hardy Bird. The hardiness of the pine grosbeak perhaps best is made known by saying that it nests in the coniferous forests in the far North when winter's grip still holds the land. The young are reared in circumstances which most humans would find coldly appalling. With the snow still deep and the thermometer marking a point well below zero, the grosbeak manages to keep the eggs warm and bring the young OPPORTUNITY IF YOU picked up a diamond in the rough you would probably toss it away again. Without training, you would not know that it was a diamond. Every day you pass by, unnoticing, opportunities that other men in tantly recognize and bend to their own uses. Your neglect of them is not your fault. Without special training you cannot be expected to recognize opportunity. For many years people regarded anthracite coal as useless black stone—too soft for building material, too hard for fuel. By accident somebody discovered that in a proper stone it would burn better than bituminous coal, and make no smoke. And from that day it became a valuable commodity. Don't expect opportunity to come up and introduce itself. Don't expect it even to knock at your door. You must learn to look for it. You must learn to see in some particular position or chance for advancement that other positions lack, although they pay far better wages. You must learn to see in some calling an interest that will enlist your enthusiasm. To do this is not easy. It takes training and thought. The training you can get in schools and out of books, and by consulting others who have had experience. The thought must originate in your brain and operate there. Nobody can do your thinking for you. The men who get important places, and hold them, are the men who are not only searching for opportunity, but who have learned to recognize it when they see it. You cannot be even a lucky gold hunter unless you know where the gold is likely to be, and what it looks like in the quartz or gold-bearing sand. And opportunity, which is far finer gold than any that is buried in the earth, is still harder to recognize, although it is not fortunately anything like so rare. --- Look up, not down—especially when you have a blacked eye; then you can't see it.

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 the World War, the Negro is making. ‘The Negro Year Book is the standard work of reference on all matters relating to the Negro and is the most extensively “used 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 previous years has demonstrated that there is a need for a book which provides in an inexpensive form a succinct, 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 Boe 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 siiven.
