Last Friday evening the First A. M. E. church Sunday school sprung a most acceptable surprise on the new pastor and his wife, Rev. and Mrs. C. E. Brooks. At 6:30 p. m. the superintendent, teachers and a number of the scholars went quietly to the parsonage, 1111 North Eighth street, and gathered on the front porch and street, when all joined in softly a Sabbath school song. The pastor opened the door, a rush was made into the house and it was filled up. After the pastor and the pastor's pastor, got their nerves quieted, a short program was rendered with welcomes to Rev. and Mrs. Brooks on behalf of the First A. M. E. church Sabbath school. Those who made addresses: Supt. Leroy Furgerson, Little Miss Anna Roberta Armstrong, Master George Albert Freeman, Miss Bernice Wilson and Miss Howard. Dr. Brooks and Mrs. Brooks responded in words of appreciation. The pastor was presented with a fine Morocco India paper Bible and Mrs. Brooks an elegant framed picture- Brick ice cream and cake were served in abundance. Mrs. J. T. Simpson acted as mistress of ceremonies. --- LURE OF MOUNTAIN Many Persons Attracted to This Form of Sport. Owing to its Health What is the lure which every year draws throngs of people to face discomfort or danger that they may climb a few hundred or thousand feet above the level of the sea? asks Francis Arnold Collins. The thrill of facing danger, after all, attracts but few; many are repelled by it. The explanation, doubtless, lies deeper. Mountain climbing assures the delights of difficulties overcome. It means exercise in the open and an ascent to freer and more exhilarating air and wider scene. Beyond all sports, again, it is health-giving. The most democratic of contests, it requires only an equipment of stout shoes and sufficient determination. It may be taken in doses varied from day to day to suit the climber's taste and ambition. One man is satisfied to rumble among the foothills, another aspires to conquer Mont Blanc, and both may be satisfied without violating the rules of the game. The attitude of the world in general toward mountain climbing has undergone several curious changes. The ancients looked upon the mountains with indifference. The great peaks failed either to tempt the adventurer or inspire the writer. Throughout the Middle ages the mountains inspired all classes with downright terror, so that no one ventured to climb even the familiar lower peaks. Only in the last century have men lost their terror of the mountains and found the courage and daring to scale them. The early, mountain climbers risked their lives in a spirit of adventure, as a rule. The ambition to be the first, or among the first, to scale the peaks which had always been considered inaccessible has caused thousands of climbers to face appalling risks. The price paid in loss of life in conquering the highest mountains of the world is amazingly high. The spirit of exploration and scientific investigation, again, has served to carry men farther, perhaps, than the mere daredevil spirit of adventure, notably in the cases of De Saussure and Professor Tyndall. Within the last few years, however, the attitude of the public mind toward the mountains has once more undergone an interesting transformation. Today, mountain climbing is not generally regarded as a daring and dangerous adventure or an opportunity for exploration. For millions of people, the world over, it is merely one of the hardier forms of outdoor sport. Its appeal has thus been indefinitely extended. The inspiration and healthfulness of mountain climbing are brought within reach of all. The lessons learned from countless accidents in mountain climbing have robbed this fascinating pastime of most of its dangers. Today, when accidents befall, they are almost always due to ignorance, lack of experience, or downright carelessness. All forms of mountain climbing have been reduced to an exact science.—St. Nicholas Magazine. CITY Kansas City, Kansas. November C. 14-21. BETT J. O. MINGLING WITH FRIENDS STAR STATE.

When we have the gloom it all the better prepares us for the sunshine, and we know better how to appreciate it. Here I am down here in this low ground of sorrow, and now and then I am calle upon to pause to pay tribute to some friend who has fallen asleep in Israel. This is the time we are called upon to speak of Hon. Charles Banks, a prominent figure in this country, and he was one who helped to put on the map the town of Mound Bayou, and he, perhaps, attracted more prominent men of our race and others to the town than any other individual. But he has fallen asleep. The whole country paused the other day when word was flashed over that Charles Banks was no more. Well, he lived well each day. He was a human subject to all human frailties and mistakes, but his mistakes have been buried and now we look upon the good side of his life. He was a great man and there is no question about it, and he mingled with great men. He stood side by side with Booker T. Washington in the National Negro Business League, and he stood by the side of Hon. J. C. Napier, and then by the side of Dr. Robert R. Moton. He was at the last session of the Business League, and contributed his part to its success, although he was not well. Sleep on Friend Banks, we will follow you, and ere this I hope you have met some of the friends who have already crossed over. But let us turn attention to the living. I have been under Dr. T. V. Overton, of Houston, Texas, and he has been busy fighting bugs, and I am of the opinion that he has done me some more good. I am feeling much improved as I write to you this week, yet I must stick to the bed time and time again. I have already told you about my visit to Houston, and I am away from there now. Last Sunday or the Sunday that I was there, which was the first Sunday in November, I spent in Galveston, the guest of Rev. Russell C. Barbour, the son of his father, and the man who succeeded his father as pastor of the Macedonia Baptist church. He is doing a good work and is as busy as can be looking for a companion and I think he is now on the right road to find one. He is a young man and it is a rare thing that a son is called on to succeed his father. This is the case of Barbour also in the case of Rev. Richard Bowling, Norfolk, Va., who has succeeded his father. I went there and Brother Barbour was very considerate, yet he had some oysters for me and I was able to eat them. Then I was at his church Sunday morning and preached the word. Had a nice stay over there. In the afternoon I went to the Avenue L Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr. H. M. Williams is pastor. This church was organized by the late Israel Campbell, who was a pioneer Baptist preacher in Texas ADVOCATE and the grandfather of Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart of Chicago, Ill. On this occasion Mrs. Cora Jordan White, delivered the message. She is a good speaker and worker in the Baptist cause. I left there about 6 o'clock returning to Houston, where I spent the night looking around in the conference and seeing the ministers get their appointments. They were delighted to get them and were faithful in the charge committed to them. They elected delegates to the general conference, and Rev. A. W. Williams was the leader. Of course Rev. G. B. Young was elected, for he is a candidate for episcopal honor, and so is the Rev. H. A. Carr, a presiding elder, and a busy man. Texas will have many candidates and some of them are to be left. In Houston there were two conferences in session at the same time, the Texas Conference of the A. M. E. church and the Texas Conference of the M. E. Church, the first was presided over by Bishop William Decker Johnson and the other one presided over by Bishop R. E. Jones, the first one of our men to be given a full fledge consecration as a bishop and assigned to work in America by the Methodist Episcopal church. From Houston, I accepted an invitation to come here to this town to be in conference as much as possible. Bishop Johnson told me that I would take plenty of rest, but he desired to have his friend with him on this occasion. Well I got to town ahead of the Bishop, riding in the day. I met the pastor, who told me I was to stop just across the street at the home of Rev. Brown. He was not ready for the question, for he met me at the door closed the door behind him so I could not see in, and then said "There is a mistake, for three have been signed up to me, and they are Methodist preachers, and I will go to the parsonage with you. I toted my Baptist bones back to the parsonage and the pastor was disgusted, for the good brother did not have three. Well, such is life. I spent the night in the parsonage, and the next day I was walking out, looking at the town, and met Dr. L. C. Moore, who is one of the leading physicians in this country and a man with a heart and backbone. He has horses, cows, buggies, automobile and a wife. He saw me from afar and rushed out to shake my lily black hand, and then I met his congenial wife. I told him what had happened the night before. He shook his Methodist head and his wife her Baptist head, and then he said, "You have a home right here, and I will see to it that your things are landed here, and come right on home." Mrs. Moore joined him in this. You see I had talked to him before he was ripe enough to pick, when he was getting his first foundation in Wiley University over 20 years age, and then I talked to him in school in Meharry, and he had made me a friend, nad believe me I have had a big time with a doctor to look after me daily, and see that I fight the (Continued on Page 4.)

Mrs. Blanch Washington and husband were called to Minneapolis, Minn., last Friday to the funeral of Mrs. Washington's sister-in-law, Mrs. H. C. Bland. The deceased was the wife of Mrs. S. A. Bland's oldest son, who has had so many pleasant visits with them. She died in triumphant faith. The family and relatives have the sincere sympathy of many friends here. Miss A. R. Raymond, a cousin of Mrs. C. E. Brooks, the wife of Rev. C. E. Brooks, pastor of First A. M. E. church, arrived at the parsonage 1111 North Eighth street, Thursday morning from New Orleans. Miss Raymond will attend Western University and make her home with her relatives. Mother Snowden, 915 Freeman avenue, passed away Wednesday, at 11 o'clock a. m. The deceased was an old resident of the city and was a lovable character. The funeral will be held Saturday at 2 p. m. from the First A. M. E. Church, of which she had been a devoted member for many years. Days of Wildcat Banking Days of Wildcat Banking. The term "wild cats," today applied to worthless securities of any description, was originally the name given to certain banks in Michigan. Back in 1837 there was a severe financial panic. Many banks failed. The currency which they had circulated became worthless, many bogus banks started up and issued "bank notes," and the country was overrun with a swarm of counterfelters. Banking and business were demoralized and, to make matters worse, lax legislation was passed in many states, permitting almost any kind of financial robbery in the name of banking. Such was the case in Michigan, where forty banks were started under a law of fraudulent character. These banks were called "wild cats" because the bank notes issued by them bore a picture of that animal. All but four of these failed within two years, hence the term "wild cat" to denote a very insecure financial obligation.—Detroit News. Choosing Cheese. Do not choose cheese solely by its color, for color has very little to do with its quality, says an English paper. A deep yellow is produced by the addition of coal tar or other coloring matter, and does not indicate rich cheese. Texture, on the other hand, is the best indication of quality. Good cheese cuts grainy, rather than waxy, is reasonably solid, and not too greasy. Crumbly cheese is likely to be acrid. When cheese is new it is mild in flavor, when well ripened it develops a sharper and stronger taste. There is no scientific reason for the statement that strong cheese has undergone putrefaction. More Queer English. Probably with a certain popular song in mind, H. O. writes that he overheard the following in a restaurant recently. A customer had started for the door when he remembered that he hadn't paid his check. Going back he said to the cashier. "I don't pay you yet, ain't it?" "Yes, not yet," answered the casnier. —Boston Transcript. New Sweet Cherry.

"So the Lord has sent you a little sister instead of the brother-you asked for?" said the kindly neighbor. "Yes." "I suppose you are just as pleased?" "Just as pleased? I should say not.

V-24, {And Enoch walked with God.” He por- trayed his subject “Walking with God,” in one of the most excellent ways -we’ve-eve: heard. He showed how we, in this age, ought to, also walk with God. He said -“this syn- copated, jazz loving, pleasure ,seek- ing age, is very dangerous. That we should pray early in the morn- ing and often to keep our souls on guard for the ten thousand foes that arise and by communing with God in prayer we can walk with Him like Enoch did.’2 Hundreds of true christians en- joyed the sermon. The Senior Choir sang “He Walks With Me and He Talks With Me,” so beautifully that several .joined the church and one was converted while listening to the deep practical sermon, At 8 p, m. Dean Vaughan ‘preached another’ ser- mon full of practical thoughts, and urged Christians to grow in grace. He also commended Metropolitan members for having a building whose architecture and whose deeds of civic pride are complimented highly by Caucasians. The Dean ‘praised the hundreds of members for being, pres- ent during Pastor Bronson’s absence and sadness and thus holding up his hands and their church. The Sunday School and B. Y. P.

Sabbath School, under the di- rection of our ‘aggressive and pro- gressive Supt. S. D. Scruggs, Jr., was splendid. The Sabbath School is progressing nicely. The splendid corps of officers and teachers are dlert and faithful and things move on with clocklike precision and God’s word is properly stressed and seed sown to gather in after years to God’s honor and glory. Eleven a- m. Pastor Bowren preached a very effective and help- ful sermon. Subject “More Than Conquerors. Text, 1 Pet. 1-7. The minister was thoroughly imbued with his subject and the Holy Ghost ac- companied the word and christians rejoiced hearts were edified and men and women moved to tears and the praises of God resounded throughout the vast concourse of people. Four persons were moved by the Spirit to join the church, one a candidate for baptism, which sacred ordinance will be administered Sunday morn ,at 11 a.m. The subject was continued till the evening service when Pastor Bowren concluded the great sermon. The B. Y. P. U. was in charge of Group 2, who gave a splendid even- ing of discussion 4nd program of merit, The main features were a solo by Mme, Georgia L. Jackson, who captivated the audience with her excellent sweet voice.

Sundays, 5 P, M. .The friends and members of Mt. Olive Baptist-church gathered a little late but finally formed a large con- gregation- Our Sunday school was on time and had a very interesting lesson. After a spiritual prayer taken a text, Rev. 9:12: “One woe is past; and, behold there come two woes more hereafter.” He pictured the last great conflict or world war as one great woe which had passed and warned his hearers ta seek God before the two more great woes began. He made great stress on the suffering of the people and mothers and fathers who sacri- ficed their sons and friends who sleep in their graves today for the peace we now enjoy. Our B. Y- P. U. was grand, The program rendered by the B. Y. P. U. created great interest. We en- joyed the good paper read by sister Ford from King Solomon Baptist church, on “Duty,” she carried its in- fluence from the cradle to grave and proved that the Great Spirit requires of us its fulfilment. Mr. Ford, also of King Solomon Baptist chureh, sang us a beautiful solo ac- companied by the piano music which brought sweet harmony to our souls, We were proud of these visitors and their rendition which helped to make our B. Y. P. U. grand. Our good Brother Roberts catechised the program with some deep thoughts of great value. At 8 p. m- Rev, Johnson of Dallas, Texas, preached us a good sermon, text, Matt 26-70, “But he denied before them all, saying ‘I know not what thou sayest’,” subject “Denying the Lord. He preached a good ser- mon on denial. Rev. Mosley closed the remarks with great stress on Peter’s necessity for denial, that the scripture might be fulfilled with truthfulness; and, carried the dis- course to the extent to show that at this day no one has a need to deny the Lord, and all seemed to feel that the Holy Spirit blessed his discourse GRAND LODGE OFFICERS.

Some things are pretty bad, but the worse has never happened. Jealousy is an explosive that has wrecked many an air castle. Don't be afraid to take a day off occasionally. It is necessary for good work. Some men who think themselves great are not even in the near-great class. Owing to the present styles it's rather difficult for a woman to laugh in her sleeve. Enmity of your enemies is less uncertain than the friendship of your friends. About the only establishment that makes money without advertising is the mint. When an enemy smites us on the cheek-few of us have the cheek-to turn the other. Most wives would be able to save money if their husbands gave them enough to save. A man's opinion of himself doesn't necessarily increase the circumference of his headgear. Revenge as contemplated may be sweet, but it is always more or less bitter when realized. We feel sorry for the girl who knows more than she ought to, and not as much as she should. Few men are able to appreciate the humor of a practical joke that comes at them point first. Young man. If you can't marry a girl with dollars you are lucky to marry one with sense. It is far easier to teach a parrot to talk than it is to teach the average woman to hold her tongue. Owners of yachts and automobiles ought to be able to run into debt faster than a man who has to walk. Ignorance of the law excuses no man, but it often accounts for the failure of a lawyer to make good. A man usually gets what he deserves in the end, but he manages to get a lot of other things in the meantime. Some of the things you ought to know can be learned in no other way than by reading the advertisements. The coquette finds more to interest her in the attentions denied her than she does in those lavished upon her. There may be men who love their neighbors as themselves, but so far we have failed to make their acquaintance. --- Drexel 0051 THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE WIDE WORLD PHOTO A view of South Robinson street, one of the main thoroughfares in the southern section of Oklahoma City, during the recent flood after the North Canadian dam, 11 miles north of the city, broke, due to heavy rains. Not Loud Enough. "Jack's got a new siren for his car." "Really. What became of the blond one?"—London Mail. WIDENS MARKET FOR MEAT United States Department of Agriculture Gives Hog Raisers Additional Outlet. A wider market for United States meats, particularly pork, has been made available by the efforts of the United States Department of Agriculture and the State department, the most recent evidence of it being the opening of The Netherlands to shipments of fresh pork. This new market, with the English market, which was opened to the same products about 18 months ago, now gives hog raisers a considerable additional outlet at a time when production is at a high point. SOME SMILES GETTING THE EXPRESSION The beautiful movie actress could roll her eyes and arch her brows, but she couldn't seem to get her finer shades. So the director thought he would try a little strategy. "Now, Miss Resplendent, we shall have to shoot that scene again." She took her position. "Register indignation. Your last effort was rotten." "Sir-r-r!" "Hold it. That's more like indignation." His Old Friends. Moose Jaw—Thar be a strange case. Thet city feller wot moved into this wilderness, spends all his time playin' with snakes. Okauchee—Him heap bonehead. Moose Jaw—Well, hardly. Ye see, he was so used.ter havin' snakes befo' prohibition that he comes out here fer company. Maln Object of Party. "I'm sure you'll be surprised," Evelyn, to hear that at your mother's party last night your sister promised to marry me. "Isn't that a piece of news?" "News?" said the terrible child. "That's not news. That's what the party was for!" A And men have been waiting for their wives ever since. That Was Certain, Anyway. "Oh, be not hasty, friend!" I cried. "Think twice o'er all you utter." "I'm bound to do so," he replied. "I stut-tut-tut-tut-tutter." All in Imagination. Maudle—You can't imagine, my dear, the number of young men who paid attention to me at the dance last night. Gracie—I wouldn't try, my dear; you've already Imagined them yourself—Life. Doc's Irrorance. "My doctor put me on a rigid diet, but he said I could eat all the spinach I wanted." "Well?" "Evidently he didn't know that I like spinach."—Wayside, Tales. Californian 'Invents Sun Furnace THE PIANO Dr. William Thomas of Hollywood, Cal., is shown above demonstrating a sun furnace he has invented which generates heat of 9,216 degrees. The device, a wooden structure, resembles a gigantic cradle and contains an arrangement of long mirrors which throw the sun's rays on a spot six inches square. In the photograph Dr. Thomas is holding a sheet of lead through which holes were burned. Nose-Printing Adopted for Dogs THE WORLD The first dog nose print bureau in the world has been opened by a Los Angeles veterinary hospital. The Bertillon system of fingerprinting has been adopted, only the noses and feet are used to record identification of the individual animal.

PRINTING Good Printing Is the Dress of Business. That Is the Kind We Do. Let Us Show You --- J. O. MIDNIGHT Dr. Moore is a native of Texas, born down around Pelham, that wealthy community of our people. He got some foundation for an education in his home town, and then off to Wiley, and then to Meharry. He graduated frm Meharry about 1911, went before what they called the State Board, passed a high examination, and put out his shingle in Hillsboro, where he remained until 1920, and heard the cry from this place, so he came over to the people and believe me he is doing some business. He is a man who knows how to cure and how to reach the case. He has studied the human body and has the respect of all the people. We find right here in this town another strong young man doing business, and he is Dr. J. E. Munchus, a wonderful man. There is the tooth dentist doctor, Dr. E. M. Williams, and he is half-soleing some teeth believe me. Well, he knows the game and is at it to see how much he can help humanity. Mrs. Moore is a queen in the home and a fine entertainer. But let me tell you there has been some fight on here in the delegate election, but it is all over. Rev. C. W. Abington, who is a candidate for the position of missionary secretary, led the delegation, and right next to him was the Rev. Mr. Smith, from Dallas, and then stepped on the gas to the tune of delegate was Rev. H. S. Sims, and if you know Dr. Sims of Fort Worth you know he is a candidate for the position of Financial Secretary, and from what I can learn he is going to trouble the waters. He hopes to step over Jordan and these things you must keep your eyes upon. Now here we are in Texas, S. J. Johnson, a sure winner for the Church Extension and Dr. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education and he will be elected by unanimous ballot; C. W. Abington for missionary secretary; H. S. Sims, financial secretary; J. W. McDade, secretary Allen Christian Endeavor League secretary, N. Ward Bagley for Southern Christian Recorder and some other, and some will have to step aside this time. There are others. But I am not going to talk about this now. I am moving along and if you don't watch out I will be able to go as before, but not now. My head has been giving me some trouble, and I have a letter from Mrs. Norene Davis, head of the Calanthe of Kansas and Supreme Lecturer telling me to come right on to Dr. Thompson whose knife is sharp and ready to cut the devil out of them bugs if they bother me. I may have to go, but Dr. T. V. Overton, thinks it possible to get rid' of them without a knife. I am away from Houston and will have to do the best I can. Look out and pray for me, for I think your prayers have gone to the throne.] Help me out of this condition. J. O. MIDNIGHT. A Logical Mind. A gentleman who was a member of one of the aristocratic London clubs had his umbrella taken from the rack by some other member. Naturally, he was offended, and promptly affixed this notice to the club bulletin board: "The nobleman who took away an umbrella not his own on February 20 will please have the goodness to return it to the rack." The house committee did not like the form of the notice and had the member before them. "Why should you suppose a nobleman took your umbrella?" they asked him. "Well," replied the aggrieved member, "the constitution of the club says that the members must be noblemen or gentlemen, and he was no gentleman who took my umbrella."—Youth's Companion. Business. A Baltimore importer contracted $10,000 worth of debt with a German house before the war. The war itself interrupted communication, so that the bill was not paid; but the goods were received, sold and profit realized. Now the importer is trying to find his German creditor so that he can give him a check for $ cents in full discharge of the obligation, with interest.—Richmond Times-Dispatch. One Qualification Anyway. Better Trained. "This portrait makes her look prettier than she did when I met her, Jane." "Of course, ma, the artist paints so much better than she does."—Pick-Me-Up. Just the Man Wanted. His son was a graduate of a financial school in the Middle West, he was in New York on other business and he dropped into a bucketshop a few months ago to see about getting the young man a position.
