The dedicatory service of the placing of the cornerstone of the new temple of the Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons, at the corner of Oakland avenue and Tenth street, Sunday afternoon, was attended by fully five thousand people. At an early hour in the morning York Masons and Daughters of the Heroines of Jericho were coming in from neighboring cities to be present at the ceremonies. Leavenworth, Atchison, Bonner Springs, Lawrence, Topeka, Emporia and other places were largely represented. At 2 p.m. the crafts, ladies of the Court and Juveniles, with a dozen or more other fraternal organizations of the city, assembled at Sumner high school and Knight of Tabor hall, led by the Masonic band, marched to the new temple, fully two thousand being in line. Dr. J. Franklin Wilson, Deputy Grand Master, was in charge. Grand Master J. A. Broadnax and other Grand officers, with city and county officials reviewed the parade on Tenth street, where a moving picture machine got the entire procession. The program was opened by invocation by Rev. D. R. Lane of Kansas City, Mo. Addresses were made by J. H. Brady, county counselor and N. J. Wollard, chief of police. The building will be built out of stone and brick, three -ties above the ground, 70x80, at a cost of $80,000. It will be completed this year or at least by the time of the meeting of the National Grand Session in 1924, that is to meet in this city. This building when completed will be one of the best in the city owned by colored people and will add much to the commercial value of this business center. Notes.

LEAVEN- WORTH PRISON PREFERENCE Denied Bail; Must Pay Fine of $1,000 Pending Appeal; Committee to Tombs Prison. (K. N. F. Service) New York, June 28.—Marcus Garvey was sentenced Thursday morning by Federal Judge Mack to five years imprisonment and fine $1,000. Although the court designated the Atlanta Penitentiary at Atlanta, Garvey, it is understood, was given the preference of serving out the sentence in Leavenworth, Kansas. All of the other defendants, indicted with Garvey for using the mails to defraud, were acquitted. Judge Mack refused to fix bail but granted a stay of execution until papers for an appeal were prepared. Meanwhile, Garvey must remain in the Tombs prison in this city. The costs of the trial, amounting to about $5,000, were assessed against the head of the Universal Association. A huge demonstration was staged by followers of Garvey when he was led from and to the prison, a short distance from the federal building. One or two women knelt and prayed. While in the Tombs, Garvey must not write any inciting articles on pain of being sent immediately to Atlanta. The Negro World, published by Garvey's organization, had announced that he would address an audience in Liberty Hall Thursday night. Two thousand of his followers attended the hall and were addressed by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, his wife. An admission charge of fifty cents was made and a collection taken for his defense fund. Following the sentencing of Garvey, the first newspaper to appear on the streets was the Amsterdam News, a colored weekly.

Baptist Ministers to Gov Abroad Hot Springs, Ark., June 29.—For the past year or so the attention of the world has ben directed toward Hon. Marcus Garvey, for he has been receiving world wide space in the newspapers. He has been put down as the world's greatest, and now more attention will be given him. He is today on the inside looking out, and just how long he will be looking out from the inside remains to be seen. Perhaps no one man in this country has had larger following than this great man, and he was the one sent from God to change the condition of the Negro. I am not going to comment at all in this matter, but I am sure that the Rev. Mr. Eason, who was shot down in New Orleans last winter has turned over in his grave and thanked God, especially if the news reached him in the other world that Mr. Garvey had been sentenced to serve five years in the penitentiary in Atlanta, Ga. Rev. Eason told the world that Hon. Marcus Garvey was a fraud and he went to his early grave as the result. It is dangerous to speak up against this Moses, hence I have refrained from saying anything, and we will all now watch the result. Here I am this week right here in this place that is so near the home of the devil that the water just comes right up out of the ground hot. I understand that it is the burning of the 'Saints of his satanic majesty which keeps the water hot, but I don't know and I am not going to say, but I do now know that it is all I can do to keep my mouth from jumping out of my heart, and that's no kidding. It is just there, I am here just the same, and perhaps I will tell you how I got here before I tell you just what I am doing here. Here it goes. When I wrote you that other letter I was over yonder in Shreveport, Louisiana, attending to visiting with friends. I left there. Sunday morning, or in the afternoon, Grand Master Henry Stewart Davis, of the Mosiacs, came to me (Continued on Page 4.)

Mason and her two children are visiting relatives and friends at Palestine, Texas. Mrs. Lulu Waddell of Birmingham, Ala., stopped off a few days with Rev. Griffin and family on her way to Detroit, Mich. Mrs. Waddell is an old friend of the family. She left Thursday for Detroit. John A.

Griffin, at the 11 o'clock service. Dr. Griffin took up his series of sermons. Subject: "Is Christ a Necessity for Christianity?" His message was full of wholesome thought for the thinker and spiritual food for the Christian. The pastor will continue his series of sermons next Sunday. The pulpit was filled at the evening sermon by the pastor, when a splendid audience heard another soul stirring sermon. The evening attendance is growing nicely and the services never hold later than 9 o'clock. The Sunday school had its usual large attendance, with that continued interest in the lesson. The orchestra with Prof. Wise, at its head, adds much to the life and interest of the school. The Senior and Junior Leagues, at 6 p. m. are having great meetings and are bringing many of the young people in touch with its purpose and good intent. Baptizing was held at 3 p. m. in the pool at St. Peters chapel, in Armstrong, Rev. D. C. Miller's church. The pastor is planning for the annual conference which will be held here in September. Monthly love feast is this Friday night, with communion following Sunday, at the morning service. Miss Velma Fields has gone to Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Louis Oliver is still quite sick. The First Baptist Sewing Circle met at Mrs. George Fairfax's Thursday afternoon. The guests were served abundantly with ice cream and cake. The Metropolitan Sewing Circle served dinner at Mrs. Hattie Miller's on Freeman avenue. A large number attended. Mrs. Minnie Jennings; president pro tem, would make an excellent permanent president. ence that such was never done, no money was ever sent to America from South Africa, but money was being sent from America to South Africa by the church extension and missionary department. All moneys of the percentages are kept here; in South Africa, for the work? Even the money the Bishop speaks about that is being sent from America to South Africa by the church extension and etc. Remains in the Sea, because Understand was never been reported in any of the South Africa Conference. Again in the same conference of 1913, the late Rev. L. R. Mute wished that the bishop should explain at full length the new office created in the last general conference of 1912, the office of the annual conference secretary-treasurer. The bishop explained and concluded by saying it was hard here in South Africa to follow exactly what is written in the Discipline. Now, why should the law of the church not be fully used on the money line, as in other cases. Time has come, that the annual conference of our church in South Africa should follow the law and elect lay delegates to the General Conference as we cannot rely on ministers. People are always threatened when raising question of finance. We must have our rights in the church as any other members of our church in the world. NGOSI SIKELLA I AFRIKA, M. J.

Mrs. Jennings, acting president, is doing fine. Next Sunday, July 1, is Sacrament Day and we hope all will be ready to have the Lord's Supper. It renews our spiritual strength and makes all true christians pleasant and willing to bear anything for Christ's sake. Come to Metropolitan church and accept Christ at once, and join.

PERSECUTE JEWS IN ARABIA Authorities Permit Them to Live in Town of Yemen, but They Suffer From Restrictions. "Massacre of Jews in Yemen brings to a crisis an animosity that has been brewing for many years and already has led to considerable emigration of Jews from southwest Arabia to Palestine," says a bulletin of the National Geographic society. "In Yemen Jews suffered persecutions of a peculiar sort. They could erect no buildings more than two stories high, they were forbidden to enter a town on horseback, and even when meeting a Moslem on a country road they had to dismount in passing him. "Their worship was not prohibited, though they were permitted to build no synagogues or schools. Of Yemen's million or more population the Jews are believed to number at least 75,000. They lived either in towns of their own or in quarters of larger cities. "Yemen's American fame rests principally upon the familiar name of an almost deserted city—Mocha—through which coffee no longer comes, where debris clutters the streets, where only mosques remain intact. "Coffee still is a major crop of Yemen, but it is exported principally through Hodeida, and in even greater quantity via Aden, port of the British protectorate to the south, which today is the commercial neck of the Red sea bottle." Old Dog Chivalry. Charles Glaser, Detroit restaurateur, returned a few days ago from an automobile trip, on which he visited Baltimore, Washington and other points. "At one place in the road," he relates, "we saw a house cat in front of a house. We slowed down to save the cat, but before we got to her a collie rushed from the yard, picked the cat up in his teeth by the nape of her neck and dragged her to safety. Cat and dog were friends, all right, but when we stopped we noticed that the dog seemed to be saying to the cat, reproachfully. 'How many times have I told you to keep out of the road?'—Detroit News.

(First published, June 29, 1923.) J. O. MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) and invited me to go to Hot Springs with him in his automobile car carriage. The invitation was accepted and at 5 o'clock Monday morning he tooted his horn at the home of Attorney Charles M. Robinson, and I was ready and on hand to take the ride. We started and believe me that man did step on the gas bag, and that old thing tried to run its fool gas brains out, and I believe it did spill some, because when we got to Hope, Ark, he stopped and got some more. We did do some riding from Shreveport to Texarkana, and there is where we stopped off for a few minutes. Not many. For it was a little hot there and I had orders to move on, for my friends there were busy and had their living to make hence no time to fool with me. At the place we call Hope, Prof. and Mrs. H. C. Yerger were glad to see me and made me feel at home with them. Mrs. Yerger was out looking for a chicken, for Mrs. Lennedy had telephoned her that I was on my way. Chickens had heard of my coming and had gone on a strike, hence I just contented myself with biscuit and lemonade. We enjoyed this very much, then on to Hot Springs. Reached here about 7 o'clock Monday evening. I wish I had the time to tell you about the trip, but I am here attending the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, and it was worth the while. This is a great big meeting. Reaching town, I was assigned to the home of Hon. John L. Webb, Supreme Custodian of the Woodmen of Union, a fraternal organization and insurance company, and one of the largest in this country. This great institution has been developed by the late Lewis J. Winston, and J. L. Webb, the men who saw in advance and lived for our people. I am sure you have heard of Mr. Webb, for he is the first officer I told you about, he is a deacon of the Baptist church, superintendent of the Roanoke Sunday school, chairman of the board of Trustees of the Roanoke Baptist church, treasurer of the National Negro Business League and interested in every other thing which means progress and uplift. At this time Mr. Webb is busy. He is a Tuskegee graduate, and an architect of great standing. He is the man who planned the great bath house and sanitarium for the Woodmen of Union, and is now in harmony with many other things. I am sure that Tuskegee is proud of her son. I spoke of the development of this great building here. It was wonderful to see this, and to know that it is owned and operated by us, and furnishes employment to many of our boys and girls, for our men and women. I see some of our young women writing in book larger than they are, but they are doing business for this great institution. They are trained bookkeepers. I wish you could just see them and talk with them for yourself. The members of this order are given every consideration and are treated in great style. If you are sick and belong to the Woodmen you are cared for, and if you need the baths you are given special consideration, but I am not here to talk about this thing, but must now tell you about the Congress. I don't know when I have seen so many young people and other aged people together before working together for the uplift of all, and especially working for the salvation of the young people. This meeting was attended by 2,180 delegates, and the Rev. Dr. D. W. Cannon of Atlanta, Ga., presided, and I was so glad to see him at the head of the order, for he is a great man. During the past year he had been sick. For seven months he had been in bed and had traveled extensively trying to get back health, and render greater service to his people. He told of his struggles during the year. His battle with disease, and when he was through, then he turned to review the work of the past year. He made an appeal to the men of our race to get just a little closer to their own families and urged the men to confide in their wives. He spoke of what great help his wife had been to him, and then told of many men dying with their wives knowing anything about their business, and how their earnings had gone in the hands of others. This was indeed a wonderful talk, and the delegates to show their appreciation, placed on the table $151 for Dr. Cannon. The Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin of Washington, D. C., vice-president at large, presided, and he, like the president, had many good things to say. Then followed the regular program and addresses on various phas- --- es of Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. work by experts. In this number were Revs. P. James Bryant of Atlanta, Ga.; W. B. M. Scott of Chicago, Ill.; A. C. Capers, Sapulpa, Okla.; S. N. Vass, Nashville, Tenn.; J. T. Brown, C. L. Fisher, W. S. Ellington, Mrs. Viola T. Hill, of Orlando, Fla.; Mrs. M. Brockway, Oklahoma City, Okla. The secretaries from all the boards of the National Baptist convention were present and took part in the meetings. I must not forget to mention one of the most remarkable men of the race, the Rev. W. L. Craft of Nashville, field secretary of the National B. Y. P. U. Board, and a man who has served his people and is still serving them. It was declared at one time that he cash in and leave us, but the Lord has spared him because of the great service he is rendering. WESTER The Great Educ The location is are modern brick lighted.

His wife is going to New York with him to kiss him good bye and to shed a few tears, as this divine steps on that mighty Leviathan to cross that big pond. She will feel as she has never felt before, and will say to her darlying "good-bye." Of course he is going to return. The others who are to sail are Revs. T. S. Sandefur, president of the Arkansas Baptist Sunday School Convention; J. H. Mays, of Shreveport, La; J. W. Bailey of Texas. They are going over there to see Old Europe. May God go with them and I hope they will bring back the bacon. All had plenty money, and some were without money but had checks just the same. As I write this, the meeting is about over, and I am going to leave here for another part of the world. I am going to be one of the most ridingest men in this country. I am going to St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Washington, N. Philadelphia, New York, and it will take the Lord to tell the other places I am going. I find that riding in this country is not so hard after all. We are going to be with you in full. Look out for me, please. Pray that the Lord will keep this old iron horse from jumping the track. Hot Springs is now getting ready to entertain the National Negro Business League which meeting will be held here in August. It is going to be some meeting. I will tell you about it from time to time. J. O. MIDNIGHT. BISHOP AND MRS. W. T: VERNON'S HAPPY HOME COMING TO MEMPHIS, TENN. By REV. DR. F. G. SNELSON", LL.D., F. R. G. S. Presiding Elder The home coming of one of the greatest pastors who ever honored the famous pulpits of Memphis, was signalized with enthusiasm of highest tension when Bishop and Mrs. W. T. Vernon, former pastor of historical Avery Chapel, from which pulpit he was exalted to the Bishopric, paid Memphis his long looked-for visit, since his return from his diocese in South Africa. A goodly delegation headed by Dr. W. A. Smith, pastor, Dr. Snelson, Dr. Winchester, Paul Sneed, Dr. Walton, R. E. Young, J. H. Hutchinson and others, welcomed the distinguished guests at the Grand Central station, and escorted them to Avery Chapel parsonage, where Mrs. Dr. Smith served a lovely breakfast. W. H. Whalum, of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company, and Avery choristor, gave them an auto trip about the city, and they were greeted at the Solvent and Fraternal Banks and other business places of the race. At 8:00 p. m. Avery Chapel was crowded to hear the "South African Lecture," by Bishop Vernon. Welcome addresses were made by Dr. Smith on behalf of Avery Chapel; by Honi A. F. Ward, President Fraternal Bank on behalf of the citizens; by Rev. Dr. Broom, P. E., C. M. E. Church, on behalf of Memphis ministry; by Dr. Snelson on behalf of the A. M. E. church and ministry; Rev. Dr. A. L. DeMond, Rev. J. H. Kelly, resident Memphis Preachers' Meeting. Avery choir thrilled as never before, and all were happy. After wiping the tears from his eyes, grateful that God has so tenderly led him and his through the marvelous changes of the passing years, Bishop Vernon told of his delivering the Commencement address recently at Lincoln University, whence he himself graduated 35 years ago. While there he said that he called at the shoe store, whose proprietor gave him his graduation shoes, and thanked him anew for his kindness. Bishop Vernon paid a significant tribute to each of the former pastors of Avery WESTERN UNIVERSITY The Great Educational Institution of the Mid-West. The location is ideal, near Kansas City.

JESSE PECK, PRESIDENT Kansas City, Kansas Chapel in the person of Dr. Snelson, Dr. Broom, Dr. Smith, who are here tonight to give us such a hearty welcome." I promised God in my consecration to go whereever I might be sent. It was therefore my duty to go to South Africa and I did go. The brightest and most well-favored Negro in the world is the American blackman. Africa is still like a great sleeping giant, and she only needs the mighty awakening touch of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to bring her to the full measure of the statue of a perfect man." Sunday was a notable day with Bishop Vernon. He preached on "Faith Victorious," at 11 a. m. at Avery Chapel, and on "Other Sheep" at 8:00 p. m. at St. Andrews. Rev. E. J. McGee, pastor. Dr. Snelson opened the doors of the church and one united. Responses were made by Dr. McGee, Dr. Smith, Rev. C. C. Townsend of Paris, Tenn., Rev. Stokes and others. Mrs. Vernon made thrilling remarks at both churches, and shared the love of the people so lavishly showered upon them. About $235 cash was given Bishop Vernon for his African work, and his gratitude abounded. He was entertained by numerous friends in their home and courteous auto service was at the pleasure of the bishop. Sunday, 7:00 p. m. the Bishop officiated at the marriage of Miss Davis to Mr. Perter at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. Hutchinson, Saxon avenue, when more than an hundred guests greeted the Bishop and Mrs. Vernon in a social way, while attending the happy nuptial party. On to the Quadrennial Missionary convention at Macon, Georgia, Bishop and Mrs. Vernon took leave of their Memphis friends who cheered them by their love and attention. Small Boy—Lions have big appetites, haven't they, daddy? Father—Yes, sonny. Small Boy—They'd be sure to go for the biggest piece of meat, wouldn't they? Father—Centainly. Small Boy—I'm not a bit afraid of lions while you're with me, daddy! —Passing Show. "Poor fellow, what did he die off?" "The doctors attribute his death to smoking so many cigarettes." "That's a shame." "Yes. But you ought to see the lovely rug his wife got for the coupons."—Florida Times-Union. Fair Friend (as band strikes up a waltz)—What's that out of?
