Vol. X MIDNIGHT GUEST OF WEALTHY RACE WO MAN; GIVES LARGELY TO CHARITY Helena, Arkansas, Nov. 22.—This is the week that Rev, S. D. Butler, of Austin, Texas, is to put on his stunt, and this is the week, that he is to receive the approval of his brethern for the position of bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal church, and I shall have something to say about it myself after the work is ended, for he is indeed a deserving man, a man of ability and worth. I have known Dr. Butler for a long time, and I know that he is a good worker as well as an able preacher, and his life has been spent for his church and his God. He is true to his friends. Like all preachers he has had his ups and downs before he reached the place where he is, and now he has given to the people of Austin, a real church, although he had to roll up his sleeves and fight like a fighter, and believe me there were some old time fighters right on his back. I will tell you about the church in another letter. I am sure that there are many people in this world interested in him, and as delegates to general conference are being elected, I must just wait. Two questions have been going over and over in my mind this week, and I am, not prepared to answer them. I am thinking that it would not do me any good to ask you, for your head is as empty as mine when it comes to answering these big questions which will crop up in a fellow's mind. What would be the result if the world would stop for five minutes to take a rest? What would be the result if man's heart should just stop for two minutes to take a much needed rest? These two things have never been tried, and I suppose they will not. The world just keeps on turning and turning, and the heart just pumps and pumps, as we call it beating time, and when it stops they pronounce a man dead. I guess it would be the same thing if the world would stop, it would be called dead. For years I have been going at full rate of speed, but I have been forced to slow down on the advice of the doctors, and so often do you find me doing now what I never did do before, going to bed in the day time. When I go to bed my eyes, and all the other parts of my body will rest, but the old heart keeps on going night and day, and I am not anxious for it to stop. I am just out of Texas for a few hours. This week I have spent with the Baptists of Arkansas, the convention over which Dr. E. C. Morris presided for so many years as president, and the church where he was pastor. The only church he had the pleasure of being pastor, and remained right here until death claimed him, and now he is succeeded by Dr. W. B. Brownlee, one of the young men of the state and a real good preacher. In the convention he was succeeded by the Rev. J. R. Jamison, of Menifee, Ark., and he is another young man and product of the Arkansas -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE- TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 Baptist College. Just to think of one man presiding over a convention for 38 years. Wonderful. But let me tell you about myself, before I go on any more, for this is one of the things you will want to know. When I wrote to you last I was in Waxahachie, Texas, and I made my way from there to Dallas, early Sunday morning, and changed for Marshall. You will remember I told you about meeting Dr. M. W. Morgan, the president of Wiley College, and he invited me to stop over and see the school. Well I stopped reaching here Sunday afternoon. He had a fine room ready for me, and after taking medicine, I rested some little bit, for that is a part of my name now, "Son of Rest." Dinner was had, and he understood that I was to eat only chicken, or fish, or mutton, or lamb or sheep, so he had chicken made to order and it went to order. Sunday evening I had the pleasure of meeting that body of intelligent men and women in the chapel, which is located just over a big room called library. What names they have for things in this world. They have a great big lot there and they call it campus, but I did not see any camps, only buildings for making men and women to fit in the world. It is wonderful how these young people are trained, for when some one shouted fire, the young men, who are called the "fire-fighters of Texas" orderly marched out and the girls remained still. Soon the boys returned having put the fire out, and things moved on in an orderly manner. No excitement. They have a full student body there, and they are preparing their heads for something more than a mere hat rack. Thank God for Dr. Matthew W. Dogan, and that fine set of young people, as well as the well trained faculty associated with him. For some reason they call him president and all the other teachers faculty. This must be a college name for them, for I don't remember hearing them called that before. Monday morning, Dr. Dogan sent me over to see my own people, Bishop College, and you know that is the Baptist end of me. I had the pleasures of meeting all them big people thre, and also visited Bethesda Baptist church, and after all this I made my way to Wiley, met the students at noon, and left that same day for this place. As I passed through Texarkana, Mrs. Duckie Kennedy, met me with a pail of chicken soup, and then had the chicken himself ready for me. It was hot and ready for sending into my eternity. She also had a large bouquet of flowers, and she had joined the others in wanting me to smell some of my flowers before they were placed on the box in which my body will be encased. I want to thank her now. Reached Little Rock, and the sons of Dr. Joseph A. Booker were there with his automobile car carriage to tote me to his house to spend the night, for I am not doing much night riding these days. Mrs. Booker come down to see if I wanted any supper, and was surprised when I told her I did not eat after dark. We talked a while, and Attorney J. Robert Booker told me that he would be there bright and early to tote me to the stable to get the iron horse (Continued on Page 4.) Kansas City, Kansas, November 23, 1923 SABBATH SCHOOL TEACHER THIRTY-SIX YEARS. Mrs. Kitty Lee Given Surprise by Associate Teachers. On Wednesday evening the teachers of First A. M.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. FLYING CHAFF Don't rejoice too much or mourn too long. A woman of thirty may talk like sixty. Pianists naturally play with a lot of feeling. No doubt the self-made man will be finished. Sometimes a man's bad luck is due to his reputation. Knowledge is horse power to the veterinary surgeon. Good luck is seldom displayed on bargain counters. The last weather report will be the crack of doom. A laugh is a good thing if it is on the other fellow. Too many writers use words larger than their ideas. Never tell for help until you are sure you need it. Some people never value anything until they lose it. A bare cupboard always furnishes food for thought. When a man feels mean that's his cue to keep silent. Have faith in your friends if you will keep them faithful. Two hearts that beat as one seldom keep time very long. Exaggerated humility is often nothing more than conceit. Throw a man down and he falls against his inclination. Many a man has started something which has finished him. Respect for the constitution is the first requisite of a patriot. He has but sorry food who feeds upon the faults of others. No other angler has ever been able to beat Jonah's fish story. About the only perfect people in the world are the perfect fools. 1 Everyone ought to measure himself by his own proper standard. By the very constitution of our nature, moral evil is its own cure. Why He Was Late Flattenflat had arrived home late from the office, and his wife was not the sort of woman to let a thing like that pass unnoticed. "Why didn't you catch the 7:30 train home tonight, Herbert?" she demanded. "Well, you see, dear," replied Herbert, "I asked a porter from which platform my train started, and he said if I turned to the left I'd be right." "Well, didn't you? "Unfortunately, no, my dear!" replied her husband. "A little mistake on my part. I turned to the right and was left!" THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH C. E. BROOKS, Pastor.

CHURCH NEWS First Church had its usual large attendance of sunshine faces, at the eleven o'clock services Sunday. They were there from far and near and all seemed to be there for no other purpose, than to serve God and receive a blessing, which is always in store for His children. Rev. H. Francis McClure, pastor of Gilbert Memorial A. M. El church on the Missouri side filled the pulpit and when through, all could say, with a truth, it was one of power, scholarly and a logical argument, that founded itself in the heart and mind of every hearer. Rev. McClure has only been in the ministry two years, but is showing he is allowing God to use him, as his subject, with "Wisdom and Understanding." Rev. Mr. Davis, a student of Western University preached to a fine audience, at 7:30 p. m., which was well received and many hearts were made to rejoice, by the earnest spiritual discourse, by this young student. Nice contributions were given both of these ministers. Several united with the church during the day. The pastor, Rev. C. E. Brooks will preach Sunday, at both morning and evening. His subject, at 11:00 a. m., will be "The Great Liberator." Come and hear, see and feel the Holy Spirit. The Pastors' Aid Board, will serve a turkey and chicken dinner, Thanksgiving day, commencing at 12-noon Cheaper than eating at home. The Senior and Junior choirs are rendering great music every Sunday and the large assembly, both morning and evening, are showing their appreciation, to both of these musical organizations. Sunday School for the past several Sundays, has been, as a hive of bees and there are no drones. The Senior and Junior Allen leagues, meet regular and on time and are having some splendid programs. All have a welcome to and take part, in any of these church organizations. Come to the eleven o'clock service early for a choice seat. First Church always has a smile for visitors and strangers.

Come THE KANSAS CITY-ADVOCATE TEMPLE NOTES Many flocked to Metropolitan Baptist Church, Sunday, November 18th, to hear God's Word, expounded; and they were very glad to find that Pastor Bronson had returned. He was sustained by the Holy Spirit and preached a fine sermon. His subject was, "Our Father," taken from the Lord's Prayer, the greatest of all prayers. In part he said, "God wants us to agree as one family, as we are His children." When He finds we are depending wholly on Him, He will fight our battles." He made a beautiful illustration of Elijah being fed by the ravens. Said all Christians should have secret talks with God, our Father." After prayer by Rev. Boldt, Pastor Bronson extended the invitation for joiners and among them was Mrs. Ophelia Jackson, of Orange, Texas. Mrs. E A. Wilson, of Dallas, Texas, was present and announced. Dr. Bronson thanked the church members for the beautiful floral blanket sent to Little Rock for his wife's funeral, the resolutions from the church and from the Emergency Club, and all other friends, who sent tokens from K. C. K. Prof. Langston sang a solo, and the Senior Choir sang a most beautiful anthem. The Sunday School had a large attendance, and the B. Y. P. U. is growing wonderfully. They had a very fine program and Dr. Davis sang an appropriate Christian solo and Mr. Fitchue sang "Let My People Go," with his artistic voice. Both singers were encored. At 8 P. M., Dr. Bronson, preached another sermon in an amiable Christian manner. And hundreds witnessed a Baptising and remained and partook of the Lord's Supper. The Junior Choir well, before and after the sermon and as our Pastor made it plain, Christ offers the World Eternal Life, thru the church, again, some united. Mrs. South of Los Angeles, Calif., was present and presented. Mrs. Jennie McClelland was with her and they remained and took sacrament. Pastor Bronson extended especial thanks to Mrs. M. C.

Prayer and praise service, Wednesday, 8 p. m. Corner Fifth Street and State Ave. Rev. W. A. Bowren, D. D., Pastor Have you been to the sad and lonely, · Whose burdens are heavy to bear? Have you carried the name of Jesus, And tenderly breathed it in prayer? Have you told of the Great Salvation; He died on the cross to secure? Have you asked them to trust in the Savior, Whose love shall forever endure? If we can say we have done all these we may have the joy of real royal Christians, so Pastor Bowren told those who heard the sermon last Sabbath morning, from the text, Matthew: 20: 27. Subject, "The Royalty of Christian Service." And who would not be chief. Better not be at all than not be noble. Life is a ladder and climbers are the only persons who reach the top. By serving all, says Christ. The way of service is the only way to chieftainship because it is the divine way. The Pastor brought another very acceptable message. Subject: "Abrahams Intercessory Prayer." Text: Gen. 18: 24. The Holy Spirit accompanied the message. The hand of Christian welcome and fellowship was extended to twelve persons. Mr. Betts sang a solo which edified the hearts of the listeners, "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say." A hearty welsome awaits all who attend our services. TRINITY A. M. E. CHURCH. Corner Fouth and Stewart Streets Rev. S. D. Rhone, Pastor. Rev. N. B. Robinson, Asst. Pastor Residence, 128 Greeley Ave. Phone, Fairfax 2330. The Sunday School is making rapid progress. The number of pupils is ever en the increase. Plans are now on foot for a "Doughnut Relay" and "Suitcase Race." Sunday morning the weather was beautiful. The pastor with his bright sunny, scintillating personality, gave to his large, newly organized juvenile congregation, a very practical and helpful message. His sermon was based on the following: "Children Obey Your Parents in the Lord, for this is Right. Honor thy Father and thy Mother, which is the First Commandment with Promise." Train up the child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. He said that if we trained our children more in the teachings and ideals of Jesus, we would need less revivals. He cantended that the home is the oldest social institution and from it all other institutions evolved,—Church, State, School, and the like. It is the most influential institution to mould and give color to character, he said, continuing he stated: "Of all modern problems, none is more menacing than the problem of 'Youth.'" "We must save the children, if we do not, civilization will go to ruin." The world does not need so much science and philosophy, as it does good boys and good girls. The pastor's subject at 8 o'clock was, "The Light of the World." Those who heard this wonderful sermon felt that God was speaking to them, through his messenger. Our report in this quarterly conference was a good one, surpassing all previous ones. Trinity's doors are always ajar. It is the strangers home. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. E. M. Mosley, Pastor. As usual we had a good gathering of religious worshippers. Our Sunday School was well attended. Our Mission Circle is getting back on its feet again. Our B. Y. P. U. had a lovely program. We have many sick members yet. The funeral of sister Crenshaw, one of our faithful members, was Saturday, at 2 p. m.

I. F. BRADLEY, Jr. Attorney for Plaintiff. (First Publiscation, Nvo. 23, 1923.) ONLY A MOVIE MAN Two men were fishing in the river. For some time they sat in silence smoking their pipes and watching their lines. Suddenly one of them uttered an excited exclamation and dropped his rod into the river. "Heavens!" he ejaculated. "Did you see that fellow fall off that cliff over there into the river? "Don't get excited, Tom," answered his companion soothingly. "It may be a movie actor doing one of his stunts. They often make films in these parts." IF-A GOOD PEN ARTIST Farmer—There's my prize pig. Don't you think he ought to make a fine picture at the show? Visitor—Well, if he's a good pen artist he may. Wife—John, "Washington" means a whole lot in our life. Husband—How so? Wife—Well, the laundry man always weighs us heavy on the first syllable and the coal man cuts us short on the last. Husband—Spring's here! Stick an "S" on the second syllable and be merry. No True Friend. I backed my "judgment" to the end, Luck hid my heart. Same.Old Thing. Prominent Society Woman (to popular lecturer)—Don't you get tired of saying the same thing over and over again? Lecturer—Yes; don't you?—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Called For. "Willie!" Called For. "Yes, mamma." "What in the world are you pinching baby for? 'Let him alone!'" "Oh, I ain't doin' nothin'! We're only playing autos, and he's the horn!"—Boston Post. The Thanksgiving Pumpkin A SUMMER has been out here, and walked Oh, just a little more than was required; She sat calmly here and talked and talked Oh, it was good talk, but it made us tired. The splendid truth that's in the tulip tree She blurred too daintily with leaf and flower; And in a leafy-soft garrulity She wrapped the locust tree and masked his power. Bagster's Thankfulness By M. L. U. HE Bugsters came to us for Thanksgiving, as usual. Most of the families on the street double up in that way, except those who "go back to the old home for Thanksgiving." Mrs. Penniman and I would HE Bagsters came to us for Thanksgiving, as usual. Most of the families on the street double up in that way, except those who "go back to the old home for Thanksgiving." Mrs. Penniman and I would feel lost without the Bagsters. After dinner, we sat about the open fire in the library, and talked, with intervals of silence. That is, Bagster talked. "I've been thinking a great deal today about thankfulness. It's all right—the ordinary, conventional thanksgiving for food, drink and all. I was running through an old Anthology of Poetry—that started me. Ran across a lot of poems by that wonderful old Quaker-Patriot-Mystic, Whittler. There was one stanza at the close of his 'Lines for an Autumn Festival' that struck me particularly: Thank Heaven instead that Freedom's arm Can change a rocky soil to gold— That brave and generous lives can warm A clime with northern ices cold! "Twas the last part I mean— brave and generous lives!" What don't we owe to them! Those of the past—those of the present. Those of our friends—those that we know only by report. And how many of them have given the glow of their warmth to this land since the colonists south and north held their first Thanksgiving! And they've not been lived in valn! Longfellow was right: Whene'er a noble deed is wrought, Whene'er is spoken a noble thought, Our hearts in glad surprise To higher levels rise. The tidal wave of deeper souls Into our inmost being rolls, And lifts us, unawares, Out of all meaner cares. There were murmurs of assent. Then, from Mrs. Penniman: "Why should it be with glad 'surprise,' I wonder? Why not just simply with gladness?" Bagster studied the coals a while before he spoke: "Well, I don't know! It is a pity. Well, here—suppose we four practice thinking of the nobler deeds of humanity. And, more, expecting the best from people." In varied phraseology we all agreed, The corn is cut and shocked. She'll walk no more Across the field to comb the willow leaves Until the willows let the great tears pour; Nor hide the twiggy web the horn-beam weaves. The corn is all that's left of Summer's chatter— I think these pumpkins are her thoughts that matter. —Melampus, in Cleveland Plain Dealer. Bagster glowed upon us. "Came upon another fine stanza of Whittier's. I know it's the fashion, nowadays, to smile in a superlor manner when Whittier, and Longfellow, and Tennyson, and the rest, of the past century, are mentioned, but—well, I'm an old-fashioned person, I'm afraid." "So are we all old-fashioned," we reassured him. He went on: - "This was from a poem of Channing—William Ellery Channing—of whom Whittier writes: 'A man whose life, beautifully and truly manifested above the atmosphere of sect, is now the world's common legacy.' Well, here's the stanza, at last: God blesses still the generous thought. And still the fitting word He speeds. And truth, at His requiring taught. He quickens into deeds. "Maybe not tremendously poetic poetry, but isn't it packed with inspiring truth! Another line I recall, from 'My Psalm': 'All the windows of my heart I open to the day!' Isn't that—even if indirectly expressed—a fine spirit of thankfulness? And there are stunzas in 'My Trilumph' the very essence of noble thanksgiving: Hall to the coming singers! Hall to the brave light-bringers! Forward I reach, and share All that they sing and dare. I feel the Earth move sunward, I join the great march onward, And take, by faith, while living, My freehold of thanksgiving. "And Brownling—of course, he was represented in the Anthology. Everybody knows 'Rabbi Ben Ezra,' but I was especially struck, this time, by a stanza I'd rather read past, before: I, who saw power, see now Love perfect, too: Perfect! I call Thy plan: "Then there is Tennyson. Listen to this: Glory of warrior, glory of orator, glory of song. Pald with a voice flying by to be lost on an endless sea— Glory of Virtue, to fight, to struggle to right the wrong— Nay, but she aimed not at glory, no lover of glory she; Give her the glory of going on, and still to be. "Well, I'm talking too much!" We demurred, vigorously. But he shook his head. "Anyway, I know Mrs. Bagster thinks it's time for us to be going. But another stanza of good old Whittler's has been sticking in my head; and in spite of all these things we'd like to have otherwise, these days, somehow there is a song in my heart, such as he sings in 'The Peace Autumn': A song of faith that trusts the end To match the good begun. Nor doubts the power of Love to blend 'The hearts of men as owl! "Amen!" we responded. And the going home started: PAGE THREE CORRECTLY FITTED We have one of the best equipped optical parlors in the city and can bring your EYESIGHT up to normal. Our prices are very reasonable.

Booker was right on hand and he got that old wagon in shape and tooted it two or three times and I was right there in time to catch the seven ten. for Helena. Here I am in the home of Mrs. Eliza Miller. Do you know her? She is one of the great women of the age, and a woman who believes in doing things. Just to think of it, she has donated to all the leading churches of this city belonging to my race, six tons of coal for the winter, and then she contributes liberally to her own church. When Dr. E. C. Morris took sick, she gave to him $50 a month in addition to his salary to help him take care of himself, and she is now regretting that she did not know I was out yonder in San Francisco fighting them killing bugs, for she would have sent me some "In God We Trust." I thank her now. Here I am the guest of Mrs. Eliza Miller, who sees to it that I get the eats I need, and then I get the rest I need. She carries $20,000 worth of mortgage on the Arkansas Baptist college, and is in position to let them have more if it is needed without losing any sleep. Did you know we had a woman like this in our race? She is to us what Hettie Greene was to her people. We need more like her. She is furnishing the proper entertainment for the young people, for she herself owns and operates the moving picture show the only one in this town for us, and she sees to it that the pictures which are elevating and helpful are staged. I told you about her son, Lucian Miller, who is now in Richmond getting education to preach. They are having a great big meeting here, and I am enjoying it so sery much. I do not get out to the meetings at night, but in the day I am-right there until it is my time to take rest. The Baptists are determined to do things. I was delighted to see so many of the men from the National Baptist Convention present, but I did not see the president. You will rejoice with me that the Baptists' raised that fifty thousand dollars by November 1, and the building is going right on up now, and will be completed next September when the Baptists will dedicate it. I want to congratulate Dr. A. M. Townsend, for he is a business genius. God give us more such men. Dr. J. E. East, of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention is getting ready to erect on industrial school in Africa. He is going to take to the people the work idea, the idea of help-yourself. The idea to utilize the wealth within your grasp. This is the work that God has assigned to the Baptists of America and they are going to respond to his call. There is no question about it, they are going to do something in the future under the leadership of L. K. Williams. IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF WYANDOTTE COUNTY, KANSAS. 2nd DIV.

The Same Thing. When Mr. Wombat came home and announced that he would have to cancel his vacation plans Mrs. Wombat demanded to know what was wrong. He explained that he couldn't leave business. Whereat she was, to put it mildly, peeved. "You put aside a thousand dollars for this trip, didn't you?" "I did." "Here I am expecting a trip to the seashore. You've got the money. And now you say you can't leave business." "You take the $1,000," suggested Mr. Wombat calmly, "and buy some new clothes. Probably do you as much good as a trip to the seashore."
