MIDNIGHT HAS HAD A LINGERING FOR OLD VIRGINNY, STATE OF PRESIDENTS Roanoke, Virginia, May 17.—Is it strange to find me still in Virginia? Well, before you can read this letter, I will bet you my head to a ginger cake that I will be out, and will be on the go to another part of the world, for I am going to New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and it strikes me that I will write my next letter from 1414 North. First street, Richmond, Va., and then I am going to beat it to Tuskegee Institute, Ala., being there on the 24th, and will celebrate my birthday at Birmingham, Ala., May 28, and can be reached there, Box 972. I may tell you my age. I want to thank that good person in Kansas City, Kansas, who sent me a half dozen pair of sox for my birthday, saying that it was rumored I would have one this month and not knowing the date would send it along just the same, and they were needed, for those I had worn were both hole-y and strong. You have both thanks and prayers from me. I am here attending the annual meeting of the Virginia Baptist State convention, and I have had much to inspire me. I have been serving the Lord and He has heard my prayers. I have had the pleasure of meeting C. Tiffany Toliver, who is a little man with big ideas, and man who is doing something at home, and it is an easy thing for him to do it in other places. He is a man of safe, sound judgment, I am told, and then he is going to attend that meeting of I. B. P. O. E. of W., the first order to establish a national home for its members. They call them Elks, and this young man is before the order at the meeting to be held in Chicago for the position of Grand Trustee. He is presented by the Blue Ridge Lodge No. 281 of Roanoke, for the position, of the place I have just told you about. He is a real estate man here, and insurance man, and will represent the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company of Durham, which is just entering Virginia. I am here to tell you that the people are going to take hold of it. We are just doing things in this world. Now let us talk about the convention. It is presided over by Rev. Dr. T. J. King of Richmond, one of the finest ministers I know of in this country and a man with big ideas. The Baptists of this place believe in NEW SET OF TRUSTEES FOR WESTERN UNIVERSITY. Governor Davis appointed this week three new trustees for Western University: E. F. Smith and Owen West of this city and E. T. Lytle of Topeka. There is the fourth to be appointed, which the governor stated would be named later. These trustees represent the state side, with three others to be named by the church side. CITIZEN'S FORUM. The Citizens' Forum at its meeting last Sunday were looking only for Prof. J. R. E. Lee of New York, to be on the program. He was the only one the committee asked the publicity committee to write on the blackboard. This Sunday, May 20, at 4 p. m., the Lawrence Forum and K. U. students will be here sure and render a fine program at Metropolitan. Don't miss hearing this program at 4 p. m. - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 RESOLUTION. Troy, Kas.

The Electoral College of the Nebraska Conference of laymen met Wednesday in Wayman A. M. E. chapel, Rev. H. McTassell pastor, for the purpose of electing two lay delegates and two alternates to the general conference which meets in Louisville, Ky., May 1924. The first session was opened at 11 o'clock a. m. the pastor of the church reading a chapter and song, "A Charge to Keep I Have." Prayer offered by G. A. Gregg of Quindaro, Kansas. The pastor, Rev. McTassell then welcomed the delegates to Troy and his church and homes of his congregation, after which the meeting was turned over to the representatives of the Electoral College, who immediately went into temporary organization. James Self of Bethel, Leavenworth, Kansas, was elected temporary chairman. George W. Smith, St. Paul, Argentine, Kansas, Secretary, and James Hollis, St. Peters, Kansas City, assistant secretary. The following committees then were appointed by the chair. Credentials: Thos. Kennedy, Dr. J. H. Mixon, Kansas City, E. A. McCurry, Troy. Permanent organization: Frank Hawkins, Horton, W. A. Estes, Sabetha, Harry Kimberling, Kansas City. Resolutions: G. A. Gregg, Quindaro, Richard Winn, Elwood, Kansas, Jas. Hollis, Kansas City. The chairman then called on each representative who responded in spicy talks which were helpful and enjoyed by the college and visitors. Adjournment then was taken for a sumptious chicken dinner, which had been prepared by the ladies of the church, in the dining room. At 2 p. m. the chairman called the session on. After a spiritual song, Brother Hawkins offered a fervent prayer. The committees then were called for. The credentials committee reported each representative was in possession of official credentials. E. L. Bell, Atchison, getting in late, was also seated among the delegates. The temporary organization was made permanent. The chairman then stated the purpose of the meeting and asked for candidates of which two delegates and two alternates were to be elected to the General Conference, to represent the laity of the church. Mr. Kennedy moved that each candidate hand their name to the secretary and be read. Motion prevailed. Names handed in were: E. L. Bell, Atchison, Thos. Kennedy, Kansas City, G. A. Gregg, Quindaro, Dr. J. H. Mixon, Kansas City. The result of the ballot showed that Thos Kennedy led with every vote in the College, G. A. Gregg, second and E. L. Bell and Dr. J. H. Mixon as alternates. This being the baby conference and the first Electoral College in this conference, it was deemed a great honor to represent its laity in the next General Conference. It was a beautiful and harmonious session with the spirit of service for the Master and the great A. M. E connection. At this juncture Mr. Kennedy asked for a contribution by the delegates to the pastor who had with his splendid members entertained the College so bounteously. A nice purse was turned over to the pastor who in turn with a few remarks, showed his appreciation. The chairman then called on a number of the members and visitors present for remarks, who responded with heart warming talks. The committee on resolutions at this time made their report, which appears in this issue. The Electoral College closed singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." Benediction, Rev. McTassell. At the close of the adjournment the delegates in a body visited the graded school. Mrs. Webster, a talented woman was found in charge and her pupils demonstrated to the visitors, the efficiency of one of the race's great women and one with extraordinary intellect. This great woman teaches all grades from the primer through the Eighth grade. Discipline of the highest rank.

Sherrill, 2nd vicepresident of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and delegate to the League of Nations in Geneve, Switzerland. Honorable Wm. Sherrill was here on official business with Sunflower Division No. 128 and took the opportunity to set forth the aims and objects of the latest and largest association for the social, civil and political progress of Negroes. So captivating was his oratory and convincing his argument that he held his audience spellbound and received ovation after ovation. Through the courtesy of the faculty of Western University he spoke to the students in their chapel exercises and scored an intellectual triumph besides receiving an invitation not only for himself, but for any other high official of the U. N. I. A., when visiting this city to address that critical body. On the last night several local prominent negroes including race leaders were present and while they had held skeptical views of the merit of the U. N. I. A., Honorable Sherrill easily convinced them to express their opinion that a unity of the Negroes of the world for national recognition was not only needed but possible. The ladies of the Black Cross nurse auxiliary and the men of the Legions combined to make the reception tendered this honorable guest an unqualified success. THE GRAND OPENING OF THE CIVIC LEAGUE.

ALONG THE LINE OF REASON. "Well, here is er-gin, is you?" Yes, I'se tryin' ter knock er-long some. "Well whacha axin er-bout now?" "I am just asking whether or not everybody has forgotten what Congressman Dyer said about getting the habit of building our group from the bottom up. And that too, in every way—every day; to take your business and professional matters to your own. He emphasized the fact that we could never make progress so long as we recognized each other socially and religiously and recognized other groups, politically and economically. I am also wondering whether we are remembering, in order to practice the lesson along the same line, and in stronger and more specific terms—given us by the New Daniel, who came to judgment in the late Pythian sermon at the First baptist church. There is no doubt that he told the truth, which should have shamed a good many of us—whether or not, it did the Devil. Both of these lessons should be kept bright in our memory, for we will never rise by neglecting them. The National B. Y. P. U. is having a Bible Institute at Mt. Zion church. Dr. E. W. D. Isaacs, president from Nashville and Chicago universities, Dr. Brown of Tulsa and Pennsylvania and Mr. Hamilton are conducting it. They are working and praying for success.

It has installed, also, a fine bath, where hot and cold baths can be had at any time.

CHURCH NEWS First church had one of the largest audiences to a regular service that has been seen in the church at a Sunday morning devotion. Fully 1,200 were present to hear the word of God and honor—MOTHER. Nearly every one wore either a white or red flower of some kind. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, took for his subject, "Mother" and without a doubt, he preached one of the most outstanding and most idealized known to mankind. Where ever mother is—there is home, let it be a mansion, or a hovel. At the close of this great sermon the pastor sung feelingly "Some Mother's Child," and hardly a drye eye could be seen in the vast audience. A number of elderly mothers were brought to this service accompanied either by their sons or daughters. The Sabbath school had a large attendance and the lesson was one of great interest. The Leagues, Senior and Junior had splendid meetings, who carried out the subject of mother. Dean Jones, the assistant pastor, preached to a fine evening audience and those present went away feeling they had been greatly benefitted from his scholarly and logical sermon. A number joined the church during the day and many others hearts were warmed with the spirit of the Master. The class meetings are growing in number and intrest every week and are very helpful to those who attend. The Wednesday evening prayer meeting and Sunday morning prayer meeting are still finding souls, enjoying them and a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit is found in each of them.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The large auditorium was filled to hear Mother's Day sermon, May 13. The senior choir entered with the processional and sang first, "God Was There When Mother Prayed." Then the organist played "Home Sweet Home," as a voluntary, and it was one of the most effective features of the whole program. Many shed tears during its rendition. A quartet from the Junior choir sang "If You Love Your Mother, Meet Her in the Skies," Deacon Ford gave the invocation, and after the song, "Remember Mother's Prayer," Pastor Bronson preached a good sermon of hope and cheer. He said in part: "Our mothers are not in those little mounds in the cemeteries, but are happy in Heaven. If there were no women, we don't know what would become of man in civilization. Woman came to exalt man; and a mother is the springtime of civilization. We honor true mothers and owe them for all the good principals we have. A mother's love is almost infinite; it is next to God's love. Father's sometimes forsake children, but a true mother never will forsake her children."- He asked young men and young women to turn back to mother's and father's God; and some united with the church. After prayer by Deacon Johnson, the senior choir sang "Mother's Prayer," and "Old Time Religion," beautifully. Miss Payne, whose mother is dead, sang the solo part so sweetly that scores in the congregation wept and shouted. Mrs. C. Rutledge read a poem on Mother's Day. Many mothers and older people enjoyed this great mother's day at our church. Come again next Sunday, May 20 and hear sermons on "Fellowship Day." Near-100 persons pledged near $1,000 on the $2,000 memorial rally the third Sunday in June. At 8 p.m., Pastor Bronson preached finer still from John 4-35, and the collection was near the hundred dollar mark, not including mission collection, etc. Come to Metropolitan, a friendly church to all.

He wonderfully defined the seal and the impression he made on his hearers is such that we want him to come again. Rev. Cain concluded the sermon by coupling the next 6 seals, which included the 7. We had a glorious time while these gospel trumpeters preached to us by the way. The Sewing Circle met at 1904 N. Fourth street, with Mrs. W. C. Walker, as hostess.

At 11 a. m., the pastor preached from the subject: "Mothers, Wise and Otherwise." Text Prov. 31-30. Again after the cycle of twelve brief month we have come to celebrate another Mother's Day. The nation pauses as it were, with bare heads to honor the most sacred earthly gift to a desolate world—A good mother. Good mothers, but there are those who are otherwise, and unwise. Here the minister told of the never ending influence of mothers giving examples of unwise mothers. Herodias, Jezebel, Athaliah, deliving into Greek mythical lore, he told of Helen the daughter of the Greek mythical God, Zeus. Leda, the sensual Venus. Pericles, Demosthenes, Socrates, Aristotle, all bent their genius to show women were of an inferior kind. Christianity elevates woman to the rank of discipleship. Christianity raises woman to an equality with man, making this difference, that she be protected in the struggle of life. Oh mothers of my race, look up to calvary's cross and see your Liberator and Reedeemer, bringing freedom to the motherhood of the world, and thank God that you live in this day. Mothers of today, living in an age of progress, both spiritual and temporal. How are you measuring up to the task and duties of motherhood? Many wise mothers have you for inspiration and example, and my text is a recipe. "Favour is deceitful," that is to say, the favor, fame and popularity of this world today is full of deception. Beauty is vain, in most cases 'tis true. And yet it is a fine thing to be beautiful, beauty in woman is and always will be admired. One writer has said, "We admire the ladies because of their beauty, respect them because of their virtues, adore them because of their intelligence and love them because we can't help it." Then strive for beauty of soul and life, it will not be in vain. "But a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised." Oh, the noble array of good examples we have in the wise, good mothers of old. Hannah, the praying mother, Naomi, the loving mother-in-law, and others, even Roman history gives us examples: Valunma, Vrigillia, Correlia, mother of the Graecchi. Oh, the beauty and grandeur of motherhood. But so many of you this morning, like myself, wear a white flower, mother is in heaven. Wearers of the red and pink flower thank God today for that mother it represents, save her from tears and cares, appreciate her sacrifice and tenderness while she lives, wandering boy and girl make this resolve, "Tell mother I'll be there, heaven's joy with her to share." Eight p. m., Dr. Hamilton, National B. Y. P. U. worker, preached an excellent sermon from Gal. 6-14. The flowers were most beautiful, the rostrum was a scene of beauty. Mrs. Thomas Richards placed in memory of Brother and Sister Hammonds. Mrs. Lulu B. Forest placed in memory of her mother and father, Betty and Geo. Crockett. The Crusaders placed a beautiful basket of flowers in loving memory of the sainted mothers of First Baptist Church. A memorable day. All are welcome to our services.

Parents are urged to send their children each week in order that they may get acquainted with the wonderful Bible characters, whose methods of living are worth imitating. At 11 a. m. Rev. N. B. Robinson preached to a large audience. He selected-for his subject the "Friendless Mother," choosing for his text Gen. 21-16. He showed that this mother in the face of difficulties nurtured her son, and was instrumental in the development of his life into a splendid character. He talked at length on the value of motherhood, urging the congregation to show appreciation for mothers at all times and places. At 3 p. m. the Rev. J. W. Broadnax of Argentine preached a soul-stirring sermon to a full house. As he spoke the spirit worked with a living influence from soul to soul, and the truth of his sermon illuminated the minds of his hearers. This was our quarterly meeting day and a large number of members communed at this service. In the evening at 7:30 p. m., Presiding Elder Payne brought to us a great message, chosen from the text: "Let Your Light so Shine." His discussion was both practical and instructive. He fed the intellect as well as the hearts of his hearers, showing that the religion of Jesus is a religion of love and service. Allen League is growing. Come and bring your friends next Sunday at 6 p. m. Club No. 7, of which Brother G. M. Brown is Captain will have its "pew rally" next Sunday at 3 o'clock.

Last Sunday the pastor and church launched a $1,000 rally for the purpose of erecting a parsonage. Pledges of $10 by men and $5 by ladies came much faster than secretaries could record and we are safe in predicting their ultimate success by the designated time limit, July 1. Miss Charlotte Beijing, one of our popular Sunday school students, is reported ill at home since last Wednesday. Rev. M. C. Knight returned from Kansas City, bearing the joyful tidings of Dean Vaughn's convalescence. We have waited with much apprehension this good news and are yet praying for his speedy recovery. Mr. Evan Corneal, father of Mrs. R. Young, Mrs. Howard and Mr. B. Corneal, passed away Tuesday morning. Interment was made at Hiawatha. Sunday' was Educational Day, a time of joyful anticipation on the part of Quinn chapel, because of the number of students in our city attending the several colleges in our city. And Educational Day brings the best to participate in our programs. Sunday night we hear Miss Thelma in piano solo; Miss M. Parks, vocal solo; Mr. Millard Woods, a paper on Success, which left us the thoughts impressed on our minds that "we toil today in order to enjoy tomorrow." Having by labor obtained the means for better living it simply serves as an incentive to another effort for further acquisition for success in a still more distant future and so on repeatedly till acquiring becomes a habit. Mr. Aaron Douglas, a paper on Fine Arts, which was greatly appreciated by all as the writer is a student in portrait and landscape painting and has promising ability. The Coleridge-Taylor Sextette appeared on Community program at High school, May 4, representing McKinley Centre. Mrs. C. C. Chrisman was called to St. Joseph, Mo., by the serious illness of her father, Mr. L. Baker. Lester E. Edwards, high school athlete, won the bronze medal for third in 1-mile track contest at Midland college track meet in Fremont, Neb. At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Rector Thomas an enjoyable birthday surprise party for Mrs. Ketta Malone and Mrs. John Irvin, was arranged and delightfully consummated Friday night by friends. Everyone reports a great time. The annual banquet given by the Stewardess Board No. 1 Friday evening, May 4, was a howling success. The delightful menu, the beautiful decorations with electric lights of many colors and the excellent program rendered, all added to the fitness of the occasion. The patronage was large—far beyond all expectations. One hundred persons were seated at one time. It was a beautiful sight. The pastor, Rev. and Mrs. Knight, the Rev. Botts of the Baptist church, all local ministers, class leaders and Stewards were honored guests; all described it a delightful time. The ladies presented Mrs. Knight a beautiful corsage boquet. They realized a large sum from the occasion. Tickets were 50 cents each. Clever German Thieves. An amazing hoax has been played on the small Prussian town of Marzhausen. A stranger, who said he represented the provincial authorities, informed the local council that he was charged with the duty of making certain changes in the electric lighting arrangements. For this purpose the existing wires at the power station must be removed and better ones substituted. The town, he added, would have to remain unlit for a day. The council duly assented. Next day there arrived "mechanics," who dismantled more than 1,000 yards of copper wire. Residents, delighted to lend a hand in what they believed to be a preliminary toward getting a better lighting supply, assisted the strangers to transport the wire to the railway station. The sequel is that Marzhausen has been dwelling in darkness ever since. The only light that so far has dawned upon the inhabitants is that they have been the victims of a clever gang of metal thieves. A. Small World. Following the armistice Lieutenant Paul J. Smith of this city, now of Eldorado, Ark., went to France as a K. of C. secretary, and lived at the home of a charming French family with two daughters. After his return to the States, letters were exchanged for awhile and then gradually ceased. One day last week a letter was received inquiring whether the recipient could possibly be "Smitty" of the class of '16, Notre Dame, and, if so, to let the writer know, as he was Louis Patrick Hare, a fellow classmate, now a Paris representative of the Chicago Tribune and the husband of one of the French girls before mentioned.—Indianapolis News.

MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) doing things and I am delighted in telling you about it. Perhaps you want to know how I got here from the National Race Congress, and that is really a question. When I got through in Washington drinking in the race matters, and seeing how hard Dr. Jernagin is working for our people, I then put myself together and made it to Richmond, spending Saturday night at the home of Levi C. Brown, who is a friend of mine, but believe me when I tell you that Luclan C. Miller, declares that I am going to have to stop with him. He has secured a house and will be keeping house in a few days. Perhaps you do not know him. His home is in Helena, Ark., but has left there and gone to Richmond, because the Lord has laid his hand on him and he is going to prepare for the ministry. He is the son of Mrs. Eliza Miller, who is to our race what Hetty Green was to the white race. She is a great woman and her son is going to follow in his father's steps. He has a beautiful wife and a fine son. Bright and early Monday morning, I was up and on my way to Newport News. where I had to make some remarks Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon I went over to Norfolk with Dr. Robert J. Brown who is a tooth dentist doctor, and one of the very best in the country. I was sick there and he had a real doctor to come and examine me. He put one of them things to my body and two things in his ears and listened to what the bugs were saying about me, and told them they were lying, that they were not going to get me Sunday night as they had planned, and then the next thing he -put something around my right arm tight and pumped it up like he was making wind for a blacksmith. He told me that my blood pressure was 160, and I recalled when Dr. Conrad said it was 180, and I wondered if I was about to cross over. Monday morning found me in Dr. Brown's automobile car carriage headed for this place, that is for Lynchburg to spend the day with Dr. R. C. Woods and the Virginia Theological Seminary and college. Was soon through there. Honey, that is some school, and they have some faculty. I don't know just what you mean by some faculty, but I heard them use a word like that, and I am using it. Young Kelly Miller, the son of his father, is one of the professors there. He is a fine fellow just like his father. Now about this President R. C. Woods, he is one of the finest school men in the country, and a man who is doing something. He came into the world via Stewartsville, Va., but just how many years ago, I am not able to say. He went through the public schools in that vicinity and then he went to Virginia Seminary and College, and then he went on up higher and higher, and then he had the call to the ministry. He was for a while president of the Clayton-Williams Williams University in Maryland, and then he went about his Master's business having entered the ministry at Mt. Zion Baptist church, where he remained for four years, and then 12 years ago he had the Macedonian cry from Lynching, "Come over and take charge of our school." He went and believe me he is doing some great work. I was delighted to be the guest of the college president and his family. He has a lovely family. His wife is well educated and a real stenographer. I was so glad to meet her and the many children. All made me welcome. At night the trained nurse, Mrs. Briggs had to treat me. Them bugs were still nagging at me trying to worry me down. She helped me so much and I desire to thank her for it. Tuesday morning they called on me to make a few scattering remarks to the students, and I enjoyed myself talking to these well ups in the educational work. They had many of them. It was about 12 o'clock when they told me to come on and get in the car. From Lynchburg to Roanoke in an automobile car carriage, and believe me that man, Howard Tucker is a practical business man, stepped on the puppy's tail, and that old car tried to run its fool brains out in gas and oil. God bless them. We rolled into Roanoke right on time, and went direct to the church. Rev. Dr. A. L. James is the pastor and he is both aggressive and progressive, and a man of the hour—a man among men. I was so pleased to know him and-to see him. The world continues to move. At night they had memorial services, speaking of the fallen heroes. Drs. E. C. Morris, R. H. Boyd, W. G. Parks, Harvey Johnson, A. R. Robinson, Nelson Jordon, E. M. Brawley, J. R. L: Diggs, B. S. Nowlin and others. I just listened to the strong address, and I was reminded that some day one would say a word about me, for I have_told them so much about THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE INDUSTRIAL & EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE Military and Educational Encampment AUGUST 1 TO 31.

I heard the addresses of welcome and in the afternoon I heard the annual address of President King. It was one more big address. I was delighted to hear his words of wisdom. The convention was attended by many strong, educated men. I had the pleasure of meeting other men and will tell you about them later. I will not enter into details about the convention, but will say to you that the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress will meet next month in Hot Springs. It is due to open June 18. Are you gonig to be there. I am told that Mrs. Norene Davis is going to visit the meeting, and she is from Kansas City, Kansas. There will be others. I wish I could tell you about them. I wish I could say a few other things to you about this meeting. Things are getting in shape for the National Negro Business eLague and the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. I will not be able to tell you all these things. When you read this letter I will have a real new suit of clothes from New York. Joseph S. McLane has ordered one for me and he is footing the bill. I had Mr. Malone to give me two suits in the past few years, and now comes one from Mr. McLane. Thank God for them all. I will have more to tell you later. J. O. MIDNIGHT Mrs. Maggie A. Austin returned to her home in Chicago Monday night after spending several days with her sister, Mrs. Martin, 338 Walker avenue. The Pleasure Seekers' Club had a large meeting at Mrs. Lottie Williams, Wednesday, and the principal features of the program were a talk by Attorney Jones and an original poem by Mrs. M. C. Matthews. Some other visitors were Mrs. Taylor of St. Joe, Mrs. Terrill of Kansas City, Missouri, and Mrs. James. The hostess served a delightful menu of cheese sandwiches, fruit salad with mayonnaise dressing, brick ice cream of blue and white, the club colors, and cake and iced tea, etc. The club met this Wednesday at Mrs. Ozella Calhoun's. The Lawrence Forum will give a fine program Sunday, May 20, at our Forum at Metropolitan. Come and tell everybody. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE.
