THE MUSIC TEAM Vol. X NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE CLOSED GREAT SESSION Dr. Robert R. Moton, President of the League, Spoke Plainly Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 23.—"The devil is mad and I am glad, for he missed the soul he thought he had." I use to hear that when I was a boy and I am glad to think about it now, for as I write this letter I am about to get away from the stepping off place, and I did not step over into the hot place where those who follow the devil go. The National Negro Business League has closed a great session and those who were here will testify that it was great and Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the League and principal of Tuskegee Institute, successor to the late Booker T. Washington, spoke right out in church and we are all glad that he did. He had his crowd and his time to speak, and you may put it down that I told you he used it. He entered a plea for us. He spoke about the hospital situation. He spoke of some of the telegrams, the letters, the criticisms he had received from time to time, but he did not answer them, because it was not time to speak. The President of the United States had spoken and he considered that it was due to Mr. Hines, and the President of the United States and all others in authority to speak. He kept his speak and peace. He said something about Tom, Dick and Harry. I am not acquainted with the boys, and I suppose but few others know them hence it would not pay to talk to them at will. Talk when talking mean something, and do not fire at every smoke you see or answer every Liliputian who bobs up at a crucial moment. You recall I have told you before that some people spoke about the hospital matter that if they had kept their mouths it would have been better for the cause. There are so many people whose information would not fill a thimble. They had the running off at the mouth, but I am not going to say harsh things about them. There are many regulators in this world and they know more about you and your business than you can think of knowing yourself and you must just let them have their way. You just watch the course of the hospital question and you will find that it is settled and settled to the thinking of Dr. Robert R. Moton. Perhaps you want to know about the National Negro Business League. and it is just like you to want to know what I am doing and how I got here. Well, I was here when I wrote you that other letter and if you will recall I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Falconer, and (Continued on Page 4.)

Kansas City, Kansas INTEREST MANIFESTED IN EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION THE OUT-LOOK PLEASES. An excellent meeting of the League was that Tuesday evening at which report on Emancipation Celebration was made, which showed that much interest is being manifested by the people generally. And the indications point the fact that this will be the Greatest celebration yet held. Prof. J. A. Hodge gave an excellent statement of the work done, and being done by the local N. A. A. C. P., towards making the coming meeting a success. Everything points to a profitable and successful meeting. And the League went on record as heartily endorsing the work to date, and as lending its every effort to make the meeting what it should be. And heartily endorsed the idea of a trip to the Federal prison where the Houston soldiers are imprisoned; as well also, that of the silent parade. And pledged every member in good standing to do his best to make a success of the National meeting in every particular. In the meantime local matters came in for their share of consideration, particularly among them were the ideas of Boys' Week and Business Week, later on, heartily endorsed and effort pledged to make them periods to be remembered in our history. In Boys' week it is hoped to develop the idea of members of our group, being responsible for and encouraging boys who will be paroled from the Reform school to make good as men. This is one of the best and most worthy motions we have had to consider. The purpose of Business Week is to awaken a spirit in every man, woman and child of us, to see to it that in that week that we spend every dollar of which we dispose with some member of our own group, if it is reasonably possibly so to do. And then at its end, to have both spender and the person with whom it was spent, to compare results that week, with other weeks. And then draw on our wisdom and knowledge, as to what should be the course of our conduct thereafter. I. F. BRADLEY, Pres. CLAUDE JONES. Sec'y LOCAL NEWS.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. AND THEY STUCK "BECAUSE" Really Nothing Remarkable That the Telephone Operators Remained in Their Positions. Lightning had struck the glue factory. The huge storage tanks had burst and the contents were flooding every department, while fire-tongues lapped greedily at the wooden parts of the structure. Into the room where the telephone switchboards were kept ran a deep, viscid rivulet of adhesive goo. It was glue-goo, which is the gooolest glue as well as the gluest goo there is. The girls, working busily at the switchboard, answering calls, warning this and that department of the impending danger, murmured softly to themselves and to one another: "And yet people wonder why we stick!"—Retail Ledger, Philadelphia. ONE CROP THAT NEVER FAILS Drought or Locusts, Fire, or Flood, the Tax Collector Is Sure to Arrive on Time. Roberts was having to wait over in a small village for a train connection and was trying to pass the time by visiting with some of the natives. "Nice little town you have here," he remarked to an elderly man. "Well, I suppose so," the native admitted. "Looks like it might be a good country around about, too." Roberts continued. "Well, yes, I guess so." "What does good farm land sell for around here?" "More 'an it's worth!" the old man answered, a twinkle in his eye, and yet, withal, serious. Roberts laughed. "Is the land very fertile?" "Oh, yes—tol'able!" the old man assured him. "It will grow a crop nigh on to every year and the taxes never fall."—Kansas City Star. The Grim Joker. The guide was leading the visitors over the Valley of Kings. After having shown them through various tombs, he at last came to one containing a mummy. On seeing this all the visitors craned their necks forward Interestingly. "This is the mummy of the high priest Nopka," he announced. "Was his last illness fatal?" inquired one of the party, a humorous individual. "Of course it was," answered the guide, with a look of pity at the other. "That's queer," rejoined the humorist. "His appearance would seem to indicate that he was permanently cured." Greatest Tunnel. The new Simplon tunnel through the Alps will soon be open for business. The whole tunnel is twelve and a quarter miles long, of which five and a half miles are on Swiss territory. To guard against the possibility of sudden invasion from Italy, the entrance is mined so that it can be blocked at a moment's notice. Tremendous difficulties have been encountered and overcome in making the tunnel. Hot springs had to be drained away; and at one spot, about two and a half miles from the Italian opening, the rock pressure was so great that eleven months were spent in boring fifty yards at a cost of $800,000. Long Record of Service All records for length of service in the same job have been broken in France by Alexis Fauchon, a farmhand of Glos, in Normandy, who has completed seventy-six years in the same position.

Sunday School began at the usual hour, 9:30 a.m., with a large number of pupils present. Great interest is being shown in the contest in the various classes, which are endeavoring to go about the fifty dollar mark. At 11 a.m. the pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon from the Subject "Shall our scene of the future life be confined to the house of many mansions"? He, fed the intellect as well as the heart of his hearers. While the pastor's sermons usually embrace much science, philosophy and history they also possess the power of the spirit. This last sermon was the fourth one in his series of discourses on heaven. The center of attraction during the past week was the marriage of Mr. Abner Jackson and Miss Fannie Parker, Wednesday at 8 p. m. The church was simply yet beautifully decorated for the occasion. There were three bridesmaids, three ushers, maid of honor. Little Gertrude Haliday carried the ring while Audrey and Melba Holiday were flower girls. The groom's brother was best man and the bride, who wore a beautiful dress of white crepe de chine with full length tulle veil, carrying boquet of white asters, was given away by her mother. The church was crowded for the occasion. Last Friday evening memorial services were held for our late president, Warren G. Harding. The program was timely. Among the speakers were Mrs. Alice Brown, who read an interesting, instructive and informing paper on Mr. Harding's home life and Mayor Gordon, who spoke on "The President—an Apostle of Peace." Those who came went away with a fuller appreciation of this great man, who died at the post of duty. A large number were present at all services this being quarterly meeting day.

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 services on Sabbath were very good indeed and there was a goodly number of visitors present. The pastor preached a very interesting sermon from Mark 7:24: "But He Could Not Be Hid." Subject, "Concealment of Christ Impossible." Jesus had been toiling all day in his heavenly vocation of teaching the people and when he arose and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon and entered into a house where his wearied and fatigued nature might have repose and rest, he therefore would have no one know that he was there. But the text informs us that He could not be hid; May we observe (1) That Christ never has been hid. A reference to six distinct periods of the world's history will establish the fact. We refer to the age immediately succeeding the fall. To our first parents Christ was revealed as the woman's seed, who should bruise the serpent's head. And there can be no doubt that Abel's sacrifice had direct respect to the Messiah promised in Gen 32:22-28. 2. In the Patriarchal age. We have still more abundant evidence that Christ was not hid. God expressly revealed him to Abraham; and he saw Christ's day and was glad. John 8:56. Jacob wrestled with him all night at the ford Jabbok and obtained a blessing. Gen. 32: 22-28. 3. In the Mosaic or Levitical age Christ was not hid. All the arrangements of the Levitical economy pointed out and distinctly referred to Christ. All pointed to the great High Priest of our profession. Gal. 3:16-29. And in this age Christ was still more fully revealed. His person; work sufferings; and glory were all predicted to Him gave all the prophets witness. Acts 10:43. He was Daniel's Son and Lord. Isaiahs Imanuel; Light of the Gentiles; and glory of Israel. Ezekiel plant of Renown. Daniel's Messiah. Malchi's Refiner and Son of Righteousness. Christ ought not be hid by his ministering servants. It is their calling to preach Christ Jesus and him crucified. To lift him up so he can draw men unto him. To point the world to his cross. It is their business here to cry behold the lamb. He ought not be hid by the church. The church is to be clothed, with humility. To exhibit him in his ordinances; and by obedient homage to his laws. By referring all, authority; and giving all glory to him who is the head over all things to His church. He ought not be hid by individual believers- They are to be his witnesses, his confessors. Living epistles known and read of all men. To hide Christ is to dishonor him to grieve the spirit to bring ourselves under the ban of Him will be ashamed of before my father and His holy angels. Oh sinners, behold the lamb of God that cannot be hid from those who desire salvation; Justification; Peace and eternal life Friends our Savior cannot be hid; neither can any man hide from Him for John says "Every eye shall behold Him." There were several accessions to membership. The B. Y. P. U. was very good, being excellent in attendance and group three, Mrs. James Readis, leader, gave a nice program, a part of which follows: "What Shall the Harvest Be," with variations (Butler), Miss Shields. Trio, "Follow Me," Messrs Downing, Borders, Ferguson. 8 P. M. the pastor gave an excellent sermon from the subject "Confidence in Christ" found 11 Tim. 11:-12. The practical thoughts given will linger long in the minds of the hearers and the christian's confidence in God strengthened. The Lively Live Wire Girls will present a program of merit on next Sunday eve. Don't miss it. Mrs. Ida M.Becks of Kansas City, Missouri, will address the Union.

A third mar- ried Sir Edward Poynter, the late president of the Royal academy, and the fourth married that great artist, Sir Edward Burne-Jones. Their broth- er, the Rev. F. W.

The Industrial state of Ger- many this month has been computed by a commercial correspondent in a novel way. An adult skilled workman, in order to earn 1 Jb. of margarine, has to work 2 hours 40 minutes; to get one egg 15 minutes; 1 Ib. of fine sugar neatly three-quarters of an hour; 1 Ib. of bread, seven minutes; and one pair of boots, 30 hours. So a German skilled workman earns four eggs an hour.

CLOSE 10° DEATH Animal Collector’s Experience | With Orang-Utan. Incident IMustrates the Remarkable ‘Strength Possessed by tho Jungle Beast. To transfer a wild animal from one cage to another is a simple matter, Food is placed on the floor of the new cage, und this ts bucked up to the open end of the old one; the bars are lifted and the beast walks into his new quarters. Nothing could be easier, and yet at the time of which I am writing I still feel twinges from an almost fatal accident that happened to me when I was putting an orung- utan into a larger cage at my animal house In Singapore. He was just short of full-grown, a peaceable sort of fellow. His favorite food, a large onion, was in his new home, which was pushed up against his old cage. I was on top of this, pulling up the bars to let him move out. The Iron sockets were rusty, and I had some trouble in shaking the hars loose. At last there was only one left, but that was stuck fast, While I was trying to shake it free with both hands, my left hand, fortu- nately, grasping and covering the end of it, suddenly the thing shot up and— my hand still covering the end—gave me a terrible blow, which knocked my nose flat against the side of my face and sent me rolling, unconsclous, off the cage. My men, who did not realize that I was hurt, roared with laughter. What bad happened was this: The orang, having watched me pull up the other bars, caught the {dea of what I was trying to do. He was inypatient to get at that tempting onlon, so he grabbed the bar and shot it up, If my hand had not heen over the top of it, he would have killed me. ‘The next time I saw the orang, Hsi Chu, I was feeding him boiled rice and talking to him in Malay. What I heard him say was something like this: “If I could make you work, you fongleman, I wouldn't do a Ilck for a year.” Certainly the beast had a terrible strength. My nose {s still crooked as a mark of {t.— Charles Mayer In Asia. Laws Against Kissing. Kissing is considered an unhealthy practice by some people. A few years ago the physicians of Milwaukee pre- pared a bill for the absolute suppres- sion of kissing, on the ground that the practice was hygienically dangerous. ‘The bill did not become law or it would have made Milwaukee more fa- mous. But such laws existed in Puri- tan New England. In 1656 Captain Kemble of Boston was “set for two hours in the public stocks for his lewd nnd unseemly behaviour,’ which cow sisted in ‘kissing his wife publiquely on the Sabbath-day, upon the door- step of his house,’ when he had just returned from an absence of three years.” Twelve years later “Jonathan and Susannah Smith were each fined five shillings and costs for smiling on the Lord’s day.” The smile, it would appear, was only less heinous than the kiss Itself, fervarteiiie Teleccene: _ Many Interesting new features have been embodied in an astronomical tel- escope recently supplied by an Eng- lish firm to the Brazilian government. This telescope is 18 inches In diameter and has two photographic star cam- eras placed above the main tube. The vertical axis of the telescope revolves in ball bearings—the introduction of which has been attended with com- Plete suscess. Not only do they render the telescope very easy to set, but they reduce the wark which -has to be done by the clock which drives the tele- Rcone so as to keen it fixed upon a cer. tain portion of the heavens for photo- graphic purposes. So accurately made Is the whole mechanism that it will maintain the telescope directed to a Particular star for three or fonr hours without the slightest adjustment. Gardens Inside Houses. Pompeii is being made to look as much as possible as It did when the clouds of ashes‘and streams of lava overwhelmed it from Vesuvius. Pro- fessor Spinazzola has discovered that the houses were two-story structures; previously people thought them one story. They had little balconies’ over- hanging the streets. The shops hnd windows of slats fastened by a long bar. Inside many houses were little gardens no Digger than a good-sized table. From the flower designs of the frescoes on the walls he has learned the varieties of the flowers that the inhabitants of Pompeil knew and has replanted the gardens with the flow- ers that decorated the beds almost two thousand years ago! Best Work After Seventy. The ten most useful years of my life ag a missionary were those between the years of seventy and elghty, says Rev. W. F. Johnson, D. D. Sixty-three years ago he and his wife salled trom Boston to begin their misslonary serv- ice in Indla. Doctor Johnson, who Is now elghty-two years of age, has con- tributed very largely to the literature made accessible to Indian Christians by translation and also by authorship, ‘and in this field, perhaps, he has achieved his greatest success as a mis- ‘sionary: During the last ten years the simplified Hindi version, of the four gospels was prepared ‘and. published, and -53,000 of these’have already been ‘put into circulatien, ae we SB std. alu - eet Le etme Om le eT ARE STRONG ON ETIQUETTE Qheervance of Ceremonious Forme In j Ghina ts Considered of the |. Highest importance, - When a salesman, or person seeking ‘business interviews, presents his card at the entrance to a Chinese mer- chant’s place of business, the possi- bility of an audience depends alto- gether upon how he deports himself while awaiting the return of the card- bearer. Should he be so indiscreet as to put one foot over the 12-inch railing that intervenes between the step and the doorway, no manner of persuasion can prevail upon the merchant to grant him an Interview. “In case he waits patiently in the space allotted to unknown callers, this fact Is noted, and he is usually ushered In. Once in, there is still a more dell- cate matter to be disposed of, and In case the newcomer is Ignorant of the customs, he fares {ll with his errand. Immediately upon the caller's entering and taking a seat, a servant brings a serving of tea, which includes a small cup for each person present. The point of etiquette demands that this tea shall not' be touched until the guest Is ready to depart, in case the Interview has been a pleasant one, in which event the caller ts supposed to take up and drink his tea at parting, and at this signal all the others do likewise, However, should it so hap- pen that the Chinese {s not pleased with his caller, and is In any way an- noved by him, he takes up the tea and begins to drink at once, which act is a direct and decided hint that the Interview ts ended, and has not been té the pleasure of the merchant. The caller is then expected to take his Im- mediate departure, When a caller has become well ac- quainted, some of the formality ts broken by the Chinese, and on a cold day a cup of tea is served Immediately to the guest in a social way. But the “formal” tea is still to be observed and partaken of at parting, irrespec- tive of the cup glyen to warm and greet the caller on his arrival. This, however, Is done only after many vis- its, when the business dealings have been of such a nature as to warrant friendship and this hospitality, + His Position. “If we listen we can hear the mur- murings of disgust that will presently burst Into a storm of protest against the centralization of bureaucratic power,” recently declared Maj.

In talking with hundreds of the plain people I have learned that they are steadily growing more angry at the hordes of superfluous supervisors of this, that and the other, who are continually thrusting thelr snouts into the affairs of busy people—bedsheet In- spectors, house paint testers, barber in- spectors, throat examiners, hymn-book checkers, tenor Inspectors, dog pelters, and all the rest of the useless officials who are continually cluttering around.” “But,—ah-h’m !—Major.” said a hear- er. “Doesn't that include yourself?” “Oh, no!” was the reply, “The In- spection of speedometers Is absolutely essential."—Kaunsas City Star. To Utilize Seaweed. Great masses of seaweed, washed up around the coast of the Orkney’s may shortly promote an {mportant commercial asset. Plans have been made to establish on the west coast an industry for extracting from it a chemical substance which, when mixed with coal dust, is slated to produce brick fuel of excellent quality, Col- lecting depots will be formed along the coast, and it Is proposed to erect near Stromness, a factory costing $200,000, The harbor commissioners of Stromness are stated to be prepared to deepen the access to their plers so that large steamers will be able to load and discharge cargoes.

Paul's mother desired to awaken in him an Interest In music, and took him to a musical given by a neighbor hood instructor where hoys and girls be knew would take part. After a few numbers he got uneasy and it was necessary for his mother to remind him several tlmes to sit quiet. For a few moments he did and then began putting his hands in one pocket after another energetically. His mother turned to him and said sharply, “What are you looking for?” Be answered, “I ain’t looking for nuthin’, but’I hope to goodness I find something.” Appreciation.

A small boy’!s never so industrious a8 when It Is time to go to bed. In order to be perfectly fair, one has to take some of the worst of it. It's the woman who buys her com- plexion that worrles most about It. Even if a man’s good deeds live after him he isn’t in a position to care, When a man hears a husband and wife quarreling it’s him to the tall grass. Oceastonally a man breaks his word while telling the truth—if Pe stam- mers. There are fifty-seven varieties of po- toto salad, one or two of which are edible. It’s easy for a rich man to die poor.

About the only thing the something- for-nothing seeker gets is a lot of cost- ly experience, A man seldom measures his own faults and those of his neighbor by the same rule, When two men compare notes on the haberdashery they buy they're pretty Intimate. ‘You can scarcely blame a yacht for Jumping up and down when it is put on another tack, It remains for a man on a sea voy- age to prove that hay fever is not de rived from pollen, Wise words enough are spoken.

J. S. MANNING, Attorney for Plaintiff Attest: (SEAL) CARL W. FINCKE, Clerk District Court. By C. D. BRICE, Deputy. (First published Aug. 3, 1923.) J. O. MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) Miss Barbara C. Ford, and her sister; Miss Alstone Ford, helped to entertain me during my stay. Alstone is older than all the others, and she is the one that is strictly domestic. You see like Mary and Martha, one went about the domestic affairs while the other annointed the Savior's feet. Mrs. Falconer is the stenographer, her sister Barbara, is a clerk in the office of the Woodmen of Union, and that settles that part of it. I have had with me during this week Prof. H. W. Collier, president of the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute, St. Augustine, Florida. Now let us come to the meeting. The Arkansas State League met Monday and Tuesday and was presided over by President John L. Webb. He is one more busy all-around man. He is Supreme Custodian for the Woodmen of Union—in fact he is the man responsible, and the man who has put it on the map. The world knows John L. Webb He is treasurer of the National League, Superintendent of his Sunday School, Roanoke Baptist, and a deacon of the church, and there are many other positions he holds, and he looks after them all. He will have to unload some of them some day or they will look in his face, and you guess the rest. There was a great session of the state and many delegates were present. All the old officers were-elected and are now serving. There was some real good accomplished and men were inspired as never before. Wednesday morning, a little behind the schedule time the National Negro Business League was called to order by Colonel Webb, who made some remarks, and there was one more opening prayer. I never heard so many amens in the meeting before, but men although they are business are religious, and Dr. Moton is a good old Baptist. After the opening then came the welcome addresses, one by the representative of the Hot Springs Business League, who was willing that the two races should work side by side, or do something he called co-operate. I don't know what that is exactly, but that is what he thought should be done. Then, Rev. Ashford, pastor of the church where the meeting was held, stepped out in eloquence, and then there were other addresses. This was followed by the regular program in which men told their ups and downs, their struggles to get a foothold in business, in the professions. It was a story worth while and I was glad to have heard them. It is interesting to know how we have made it up in this world. When you see the point where we are today, we must just sing "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." I would use the words of that big fellow who lived back yonder and was related to Solomon, I think his name was David, "The Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad." All I heard made me rejoice, for it told me that my people are getting right with God, and they are doing so right now, and as they put themselves in position where God can use us, he is doing the work. Put it down that I told you that it doth not yet appear all it shall be. I wish you could have been at that first night session. It was held in the City Auditorium, and they were there, both races, for it was a big night. It was the opening night, the night when people desired to Strut Miss Lizzie. I was there, and I had on my Sunday-go-to-meeting rags. The Woodmen of Union Band, composed of young women who worked in the office, furnished the music, and it was fine music honey-John L. Webb, presided and he was truly at himself. Then followed the introduction of the Mayor of Hot Springs, and while his address was short it was a heart talk, and all seemed to enjoy his words. After some music, Professor Boyd, who is in charge of the Benefit department of the Masons, introduced the man of the hour, Governor Thomas C. McRae. Now here is a case where a man left his office in Little Rock, journeyed to Hot Springs, solely to address the National Negro Business League and our people. He reached the city in the afternoon, went to a hotel and remained until escorted to the auditorium by Mayor Jones. We learned that he was really a good man. He donated the first site to our people in Prescott, Ark., for a public school, and this while he was a private citizen, and then some more land for school, and then recently he gave to the race, 7 acres of land for a park. He is just a good man. Is it surprising to you that such a man should get an ovation from a large audience. He spoke right from the heart, and said the things that should have been said. He paid a high tribute to the late Booker T. Washington. He was personally acquainted with the sage, and he came to Hot Springs, because of his respect for the founder, because he wanted to come, and because he wanted the people to know that they were welcome and Arkansas was glad to have them in the state. He thought that it was fitting that a National Business League should be held in a National Park, the nation's health resort. His address was not the ordinary address about "You people" but he spoke right out. PUBLICATION NOT In the District Court of the County, Kansas.

Browne, and Browne, his wife; Alicia Elizabeth Stovall; and B former Directors of the Orphan Home of Kansas as, a corporation; F. J. and Mary C. Hoffman. He said that he would not discuss the exodus question, for people had a right to live where they wanted to live and move when they wanted to move. He had been acquainted with the race from childhood. He had watched since 1865, and was proud of the wonderful progress "You have been at liberty to go where you wanted to go for the past 58 years, and you are still right here with us, more than twice as many of you were 58 years ago, and many of you are going to remain. We are going to live together. We are going to do so in peace." He condemned the few liquor drinking politicians who would do what they called "cuss a nigger" and be elected to office. His plea was for kindness. He urged that the hatred be eradicated and substituted by love and friendship. He wanted both sides to realize and act on that suggested. It was a high class address and worth hearing. The Governor's address seemed to touch the very soul of Robert R. Moton, for he stepped back and came forward, and spoke as we had never heard him before. It was manly, it was wonderful. He wanted for us, for his own, everything that every other man wanted for his. He did not say harsh things, nor did he bite his tongue trying to keep back things that were manly. God bless him and keep him to the end. I shall have more to say in another letter. I am now in New York as you read this, or I may be on my way to California, for that is my next point. When I leave New York, I am going direct to Cincinnati, Louisville, stopping an hour or so at Frankfort, passing through Nashville, Birmingham, Mobile, New Orleans, where I will join the crowd for California. Pray for me. J. O. MIDNIGHT. IN SOCIETY. Rev. H. B. Bronson went to Atchison this week, and where he was on program at the North Eastern Baptist Association. Mrs. S. A.
