The program was very interesting as they also had some reminiscences of the State Federation. Mr. A. Wilson, president, introduced Mrs. C. Childs, who acted mistress of ceremonies. The following fine program was rendered: National anthem by a colored composer; prayer, Rev. A. W. Davis, vocal solo, Mrs. O. Scott; state trio Mistresses Hurd, Dorsey and Harris Junction City; was excellent and enriched. The main feature of the evening was the address of Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Ohio, and National President of the Colored Womens' Clubs. She said in part: "The national meeting was the best in twenty-seven years and marked an era of advancement. The National Club of Colored Women was organized in 1896, before the N. A. A. C. P. There were more women than men who fought for the downfall of slavery." She mentioned dear old "Sojourner Truth," and Harriet Tubman. She thinks our race doesn't make as much over John Brown's memory as we should. Said "We should claim this as our country, as our fathers helped make this country and fought and died for it." Says we ought to always sing "My Country Tis of Thee," as we know no other country and helped make this. "More than 5,000 more colored boys went to war than write boys from the South. One hundred thousand colored women effected the commutation of a young colored woman who was to be hanged"; that shows what we can accomplish by solidarity. Said "our race is not asking for superiority, but for opportunity. No government can expect its subjects to fight for them unless they protect them." She quoted Longfellow, illustrating the black race as a blind Samson that will wake up some day and use his strength. She made the greatest and most useful address ever made by any woman of any race in our city, and received an quadruple ovation as she closed. The State Trio then sang a parody on "Tomorrow," as a "Rep. Song," using Miss Brown's name and were encored again. Mrs. Black and Mrs. Gertie Elam-Williams played beautifully on mere hand saws, and received an ovation. This was the most extraordinary feature of the program. This and the State Trio and a little girl who won a first pfize, were echoes of the State Federation program at Fort Scott. Many joined the N. A. A. C. P., and those who were not present, missed a rare treat. The National body meets here in September. Join and don't miss attending it. Miss Anna Lissa McNair has returned home from Washington, D.C., where she attended Howard University this year. Miss McNair will probably go to Wilberforce University next year.

PUT ASIDE THE TEMPTATION Woman Candidate for Political Preferment Spurned Bargain That Must Have Been Attractive. While the woman's vote is confidently expected to—and probably will—clean up politics, it must be admitted that there are times when the temptations, increased by a lifetime of bargain hunting, prove almost irresistible. A man at the last election was attempting to sell his vote, but the woman candidate refused firmly to be a party to bribery and corruption. "No, sir," she said. "I will not give you a dollar for it. It is not worth it." "Take it for 90 cents, lady," urged the man. "Why didn't you say that before?" she asked. But then honor triumphed. "No," she continued. "No. Not even if you offered to vote twice for a dollar seventy-five."—Exchange. Number 45 MIDNIGHT ENJOYS MINGLING WITH BRAINS AND LEADERS Texarkana, Arkansas-Texas, June 20.—When I took my pen in hand to write to you last week I was right in the midst of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Texas, and was the guest of that Grand Lodge, just like some other big men I know of who were there. I just felt like shouting all over Dallas. It is a great thing to mingle with brains and the leader of men, and that is just exactly what happened in this case. You see W. S. Willis, of Waco, is Grand Chancellor, and he is just a born leader. He is one of God's selected men to help to make this race what it should be, and he is doing his work and doing it well. So well pleased are the men with his leadership, until they just voted to pay him even five hundred dollars every month, and have him change from Waco, Texas, to Dallas, the headquarters of the Grand Lodge, where they own a fine temple which cost about $250,000 and all paid for and offices for all the Grand Lodge and Grand Court officers. Praise God for all this. This is just like when a man is elected to some state office, or federal office with headquarters away from his home, he just moves there and remains as long as he is holding down that job. Harding had to leave Ohio when he became president of the United States, and he had no objection to it, and I am sure that Grand Chancellor Willis will obey the edict of the Grand Lodge, and take up his abode right in Dallas. He is a wonderful man, and I am glad that I know him. You will recall that Itold you that I was the real guest of Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, who use to pastor in Kansas City, and who is getting ready to cross that big body of water and go to Yewrope. He is going over there to represent the Baptists, being one of the officials of the National Baptist convention. His wife has decided to go with him as far as New York, look in his room and then bid him farewell until he returns in time for the meeting of the National Baptist convention in September. I had a fine time in that man's town, and I pulled away from there, and will have just a few things to say to you about my leaving. I left there Friday night in company with some of the moguls, including Grand Chancellor W. W. Andrews of Florida. He was accompanied by his Major General of Uniform ranks. We rode all night long, and the next morning I landed right in Houston, and found at the stable the Rev. Dr. G. B. Young, pastor of the Wesley Chapel A. M. E. church, who invited me to go home with him for my chewing. The invitation was accepted, and believe me we had one full house. Some representative women and ministers en route to Macon, Ga., to attend the missionary meeting. Rev. G. B. Young is looking forward to elevation; and the same is true of Rev. H. A. Carr, who was at his home, and here were Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Williams, Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Hughes, Mrs. L. - Bracken Kincheon, and Mrs. this and that and the other. They were there in large numbers going to the meeting-Later in came the head of the district, Bishop William Decker Johnson, of Plains, Ga., who came all the way to accompany his army across the country to Georgia, his native state. Well, we had our chats and talks, until the ticket man came and all purchased their tickets. Rev. S. J. Johnson, the next secretary of Church Extension, came along and shook my lily black hand. He is indeed a remarkable man, and I want to see him elected. I decided that I would ride a part of the way with them, as far as Beaumont, Texas. The trip was made to New Orleans over the Gulf.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. "BOOTLEGGERS TRUST." "The great battle next year will be over the effort of the "Bootleggers Trust" to control the administration and the Congress of the United States," says Congressman E. C. Little, of the Second Kansas district. "Millions of dollars will be spent by the bootleger people towards that end. In my judgment the determined stand of President Harding and his administration to enforce the constitution entitles him to the support of every good citizen of the State. "The laws made by Congress on that proposition and the efforts of Congress and the administration to cut down expenses and taxes have saved more money than any ten Congresses before have ever saved for the tax payers in the same length of time. "In view of the tremendous and awful indebtedness in which the Democratic administration and Democratic Congress involved the Republic, every citizen who wishes to cut taxes and expenses should not hesitate for a second in his support of President Harding's administration and the Republican Congress at the next election." DISTRICT CONFERENCE AND CONVENTION OF THE KANSAS CITY DISTRICT The District conference and caonventions of the Sunday Schools, Allen Christian Endeavors, and Woman's Mite Missionary Societies of the Kansas City District, opened their sessions in Bethel A. M. E church, Leavenworth, Kansas, June 12, Rev. Thomas D. Scott, pastor; Rev. J. S. Payne, presiding elder in the chair. The conference and conventions theme was "The Supremacy of Jesus," I Cor. 15:25, and this was the under current that caused the great enthusiasm and success of the sessions. A feature of the conference was six scholarly papers that dealt with the "Financial Ability of the People," "The Mission Work of the People," "The Condition of the People," "Church and School, Morally and Spiritually." The ethical question, "The Moral Condition of the People," led by Rev. T. D. Scott drew a hectic discussion which brought out many astounding facts concerning the morals of the people. From these facts it was decided that the moral condition of the people is at its lowest ebb. Mr. Otis H. McFields of Kansas City, Kansas, and Mr. Landor of Quindaro, Kansas, were elected delegates to the annual conference. There were no alternates elected. Each charge represented made a splendid report of conversions showing an increased interest on the part of the Christians in bringing souls to Christ. The work of the financial committee showed an increase in finance. Several distinguished visitors were present among whom were Rev. Will Williams, of Omaha; Prof. G. A. Gregg, secretary of the Paseo Y. M. C. A.; Rev. Collins of the C. M. E. church, Leavenworth, and Rev. Burkehart of South Omaha. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

The choir rendered splendid music which added much to the fine service. The pastor Rev. J. F.

D., Pastor Sunday school, 9:30 a. m.; preaching, 11 a. m., and 8 p. m. B. Y. P. U., 6:30 p. m. Prayer and praise service, Wedneslay, 8 p. m. The Sabbath services were well attended throughout the day. The pastor filled his pulpit for the first time since his illness. This week he preached an excellent sermon from 78th Psalm, 41-42. Subect, "Limiting God." The leading thoughts suggested were. The ten spies represents the majority and they brought a discouraging report because they did not have faith to wholly rely on God and so possess the goodly land. Do what God says and leave it to Him how it comes out. They (Israel) forgot how God brought them through the Red Sea and numerous difficulties. When you murmur and complain you limit the hand of God. What Lsrael could have possessed in one year by their conduct and faithlessness, they wandered forty years in the wilderness. Lack of faith produces fear. Its awful not to trust God. Believers often want to limit God in his way or manner of deliverance. We want to limit the creator by the bounds of the created. The finite by the infinite. Have faith in God. God can make things sweet anywhere. Surroundings were not pleasant for the three Hebrew children nor for Daniel in the-den of lions, but faith in God brought them out of trouble. Mrs. Minnie Howe Champ of Topeka Industrial Institute, made timely remarks in reference to the splendid work of the school, stressing the military summer school and its good effect on boys. B. Y. P. U. was nicely attended. Mrs. Ada G. Messley gave a profitable instruction of the lesson. At 8 p. m. Rev. R. X.

Many visitors were present throughout the services. A splendid offering was given the pastor for his trip to Hot Springs, Ark. We note with gratitude to God the improvement of many of our sick. Among them Sister Edith Edmonds of 443 Freeman avenue. During the day we had several accessions. A hearty welcome awaits all who attend our services. CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD. 337 Oakland Avenue. Rev. J. A. Cook, Pastor. On last Sunday, June 17, the Lord blessed us with a beautiful day. The Sunday School was excellent at 10 a. m. The superintendent is doing great things in the Sunday School.

At 8 p. m. we were graced to have Elder Mose Williams, a well known Baptist minister, with us. He broke the bread of life for us. He said many god things to us. He used for a text St. John 17:15: "I pray for you not to take them and of the world, but keep them from evil." Elder Williams is a splendid preacher. He is welcome to be with us again any time he wishes to or ses fit. All ministers are absolutely welcome to the church of the Living God. Elder Jenkins, the blind man, was with us, too. He is expecting to speak to us soon. Elder Manning and other visiting ministers were also with us. Rev. Reckens read the opening lesson. Heb. 10:1-15. The pastor spoke well of the former speaker. The pastor said in his remarks: If we are the children of God—God is our Father. His children should mingle and mix together without hate and malice. God is not the author of confusion, but is of peace. Sunday, June 24, perents send your children to Sunday School on time at 10 a. m. Be on time' for the 11 a. m. service. At 3 p. m., June 24, the pastor and congregation is expecting Elder J. F. Griffin of the First A. M. E. church, corner Eighth and Nebraska, to preach for us. Come and hear Elder Griffin preach the Gospel in the Church of the Living God. The elder is well known and can deliver the goods. Our rally begins at 11 a. m., and continues until night. The bible bond was excellent last Sunday. We all had a very lively lesson and was interesting to all that were present. The pastor-ascended the rostrum at 8:15. He said many good things and spoke well. The services were very largely DIRECTORY OF MASONIC LODGES Rev. John Fair, pastor of the Church of the Living God at 1823 Grove street, Kansas iCty, Mo. reported a good morning service and Sunday school. He used St. John 8:47 for his inspiring text. He also reported a good service at night. He is doing a great work for the Lord at 1823 Grove street, Kansas City, Mo. Don't forget June 24th. Come, let us reason together said the Lord.

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. Sunday brought forth a beautiful day and the attendance to Sunday School was large and a very interesting lesson was studied by the scholars. At 11 a. m. Dean Vaughan delivered a masterly sermon, that was full of logic and spiritual fervency. The large congregation greatly enjoyed it. It being men's day a goodly number were out. At 3 p. m. Rev. G. E. Horsey, who is pastor of Ward chapel, Kansas City, Mo., delivered a strong gospel discourse, that was wonderfully inspiring and helpful to those present. His choir, which is among the best of the two cities, rendered excellent music. The day closed for the Master with a sermon by Rev. D. C. Miller pastor of St. Peter's chapel, in Armstrong. Subject: "Loft Christ." It was one of the best sermons that has been listened to in Allen chapel, by a visiting minister for many days. The Allen League is taking on new life and they are asking the young people and for that matter, the older ones to come out and help make the League a real live spiritual waiting on the Lord. All returned from the District conference and conventions that was held in Leavenworth, reporting fine helpful sessions. The pastor Rev. C. R. Tucker will fill his pulpit Sunday, come out and hear a fine sermon. The stewards collection Sunday was $41,00. Watch for the date of our big outdoor gospel meeting.

MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) Coast Lines, and I was right there with them. Sunday morning many others joined the party. Rev. C. W. Abington, with his company. He is slated for Missionary Secretary; and Prof. L. B. Kincheon came to see his wife off. They thought for only one car, but by the time them folks got thru filling up there were two coaches of them, and they had on their cars Texas delegates to Missionary Convention, A. M. E. church. They were willing for the people along the road to know who they were and what they represented, and they were going to Macon after the bacon, and whether they will return with it I am not prepared to say. They had the next president, Mrs. L. M. Hughes and when Texas gets right down after a thing it happens. It was indeed an intelligent set of men and women. I talked with many of them as we rode down the lane, and it was manners all the way believe me honey. I got off at Beaumont, and found Prof. Pollard, that great educator, awaiting my arrival, and although I had been riding, he toted me right on in his automobile car carriage right to church, where I heard the Rev. Dr. E. H. Borden deliver the message. He is doing some preaching these days. After church, Prof. Pollard toted me out to the home of Dr. C. B. Charlton, where I was made to feel at home by Dr. Charlton and his wife, and even the children made me welcome. They have a new heir to the throne. Dr. Charlton is a young man, but one of the finest dentists in this country. In Beaumont he is right at the head of the army, saying nothing about race or color. He knows that tooth half-soleing business and when he turns a job over it will stand the test any where. Sunday night I spoke at the A. M. E. church, and Monday morning started for this place. It was indeed a delightful ride. At Shreveport Attorney C. M. Robertson of the National Baptist convention met me at the stable with a lunch, and I sent it into my eternity, and reaching this place, I found Mrs. S. A. Mathes and her son, Homer awaiting my arrival. They knew I was coming some time, but did not know just when, but all things were ready for me and I was just made welcome. For two days I have been in the house, because I was sick, but I am better now and will be after leaving here to get to the Sunday School Congress which I am going to tell you about in my next letter. I am expecting great things to happen. In this city I have had the pleasure of coming in touch with Prof. W. T. Daniels, who is grand master for the Grand Lodge of United Brothers of Friendship. A most remarkable man and leader of men. He is doing things on this city. I saw a man offer him a salary of $300 per month and expenses to take up a position in Chicago, but he wanted to remain down here and help to work out a great problem. He saw great things here to be done. All cannot go North when there are so many things to be done down here. I commend Prof Daniels. Mrs. Duckie Kennedy, Just polished my finger nails until I could use them to look at my face and see how to tie my necktie. She is an expert in these lines, and I thank God for her. I also met Misses Carrie and Virginia Adams, who tried to help to make my stay happy. I find that the people are getting ready for the National Negro Business League in Hot Springs, August 15, 16, 17: Will you be there? There will be something doing in that city this time. A wonderful program is being prepared and then President Robert R. Moton will have something to bring to your notice. He is doing things and doing them up in apple pie order. Of course he is abused. He is just cussed and people are fuming and calling him everything but a child of God, but he is going right on serving his people. He is working under fire, but he is working just the same. I heard a little two by cipher call Dr. Moton a traitor and this little thimble-headed miscarriage of human nature didn't know what he was saying. He just had the running off at the mouth, nothing more and nothing less. His brains made a mistake and got in the wrong part of his anatomy, and may never get back. The next week after the Business League will be the meeting of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias in New York. I find that Grand Chancellor Lloyd is making a grand stand play. He has issued circular which is dealing with Mrs. Buckner, the Grand Worthy Counsellor. Well, let them slide, and they will get over it some day.

Any perticlar dates?"—Judge. Sam's Ghost Sam had passed through a harrowing experience. He had seen a ghost. While his audience listened with bulging eyes he related the details of his awful adventure. "Ah Jes' come out of de cow-shed," he said, "an' Ah had a bucket o' milk in mah hand. Den Ah hears a noise by de side of de road an' de ghost rushes out." "Good heavens!" interrupted one of his listeners. "Did yo' shake with fright, Sam?" "Ah don't know what Ah shook wid. Ah hain't sayin' for suttin Ah shook at all. But when Ah got home Ah foun' all de milk gone, an' two pounds o' butter-in de bucket." Human Nature. "It is rather odd," remarked the mild-mannered man in the street car, "how some people object to a little fresh air. At this very minute, there are many more people in this car than there should be, and as a result the air is badly vitiated, and besides it is warm outside. Yet when I tried to open this window a bit ago a flapper back of me, who was wearing a fur coat, and stockings as thin as a husband's excuse, bawled me out as a 'fresh air crank,' and I had to close it. There is nothing funnier than human nature."
