--- KANSAS MIDNIGHT IS CHEERED COMMING OF SANTA CLAUS, CHICKEN AP- PETITE NEVER FAILS HIM Austin, Texas, Dec. 5.—We are getting to the place where we can count Christmas by the days instead of months, and when I was a boy I was just as happy as a June bug when we passed Thanksgiving. I would then say four weeks before Old Santa Claus would come down the chimney. And the night before Christmas I would just go to bed and cover up my head, for fear he might look in my eyes and tell what I was thinking about and go on without leaving anything for me. They were real, real happy days, and they have gone into my little history to never return again. I try to think those thoughts now, but find it utterly impossible, so I just go right on doing all the good I can for myself and my fellow beings. I will have so many things to talk about at the close of the year. When I wrote to you that last time I was right in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and enjoying myself as you will recall with Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Falconer, or in their home and "B. C." was doing all in her power to make me happy and contribute to my life and health. Perhaps you do not know "B. C." She is the sister of Mrs. Falconer, and by name and profession her name is Miss Barbara C. Ford, holding a responsible position with the Woodmen of Union under John L. Webb, an official of the National Negro Business League. In leaving the city I lost my chicken lunch which Mrs. Falconer had prepared for me, also my night shirt, but I believe the Lord will provide me another shirt, and Dr. Joseph A. Bocker provided the whole chicken boiled for me, and down it went. I spent a day in the Arkansas Baptist college and visited a convention presided over by Dr. J. P. Robinson. Really it was just a real young association instead of a state convention and I think it was high time for them Baptist preachers to "have" themselves and get right in the band wagon and help to push and pull the load of the Arkansas Baptist. Then to Texarkana, where I spent the night. I had the pleasure of calling at the home of Mr. Duckie Kennedy and met Miss Virginia Adams and other friends there. You see I spent the night at the home of Mrs. S. A. Mathes, and then the next morning bright and early found me up meeting some of the friends, including Dr. Stewart, of the United States, and was off for Dallas. It has been a long time since I was in Dallas, and was glad to step into the city one more time and see the see and do the doo. I had been invited there by Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, D. D., one o the secretaries of the National Baptist convention and pastor of the Macedonia Baptist church—in fact it was the church end of his business which invited me there to preach an anniversary sermon. I had sent him word just what time I would get to town, but the good preacher who toted the message had a case of thick head and short recollection disease and failed to get my message correct, hence no Wilson met me. But honey I just got me an automobile car carriage truck and that man toted me, my trunks and all I had to 2813 Thomas avenue, but there was no one at home. I thought some things which would not do to go in my sermon and I got At First A. M. E. Church FRIDAY DECEMBER 14, 1923 Dinner starts at 12 Noon. MRS. HOLLAWAY, President. MRS. LEE, Sec'y. - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 down on my knees on the front porch and asked God to forgive my evil thoughts and I think He heard my prayers. I just got in an automobile car carriage and it toted me over to the Pythian Temple, going by the Dallas Express, and meeting the main guy in the office of Clarence A. Starks, and he told me that he would tote me out to Rev. Wilson's when I was ready. I went in the drug store, shook hands with some old friends there, including Dr. Hamilton, and the tooth dentist doctor, Dr. White, whose voice was off on a vacation, but I understood what he said to me. I got me a little bottle of medicine but I must not tell you that I had to pay more for it than in any other drugstore in the United States including California, for that is none of your business, and I don't believe in telling your private affairs in public. Later, I was at the home of Dr. Wilson, and while he was not there, his wife was there, and she received me just like I was some big pumpkins in the Baptist church, and I am just yet squash. She soon had dinner ready, and then stepped in Dr. Wilson, who shook my lily black hand, and handed me a program of his anniversary and I observed that I was on to preach two sermons. It was a great occasion. I wish you could have heard me preach that first sermon, for I enjoyed it myself. I took for a text the question that Pharoah asked Jacob "How Old Art Thous?" I am not going to give the sermon. It was a great occasion. In the afternoon Rev. Harper preached and in the evening I walked the plank myself and trod the wine press alone. I tell you when them folks get through with it they are going to have a great church building there, and they have now a great membership. I certainly did enjoy looking around and meeting the good people. In the afternoon, knowing that I had been sick, Mr. Starks toled me around in that automobile car carriage for some Texas air. I had the pleasure of being in company with Virgil L. Ruben of the Mississippi Life Insurance Co. I tell you there were others. I just looked and looked at people in Dallas, and many of them looked at me, but did not seem able to recognize me. I am sure that they would have had more to say if they had known me, and remembered how sick I had been in San Francisco, Calif. (To be continued next week.) CITY BRIEF'S AND IN SOCIETY.

ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Editor and Manager of Women's Missionary Recorder Passes Away. On Thanksgiving Day the hand of death touched one of our splendid race women, Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman, A. M., the very excellent and brilliant companion of Rev. G. M. Tillman, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church at Leavenworth, Kans. Mrs. Tillman was a graduate of Wilberforce University of Ohio and had been for the past two years the efficient editor and manager of the Women's Missionary Recorder of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and was recently re-elected at the National meeting which was held in Brooklyn, N. Y. She was devoted to her work and church and it was conceded from many critics from our great men and women, this church organ under her management was far superior in general make up and editorial work than in all its history. The race, the church and especially the missionary department of the connection loses one of their brainy and active christian characters. She leaves an exemplary husband and a sweet daughter and multiplied friends. Not only are hearts sad here at her demise, but hundreds of souls in far-off Africa, will weep when hearing of her death. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon when a large concourse of her friends were present. Peace to her ashes. BOYD CLEANING CO.

JUNCTION CITY, KANSAS Miller-Parker Nuptials On last Thursday (Thanksgiving) at the Second Baptist church, Miss Celestine Miller was united in marriage to Mr. William F. Parker. The Rev. G. T. Raimey performed the ceremony. The church was very beautifully decorated with palms, ferns and ribbon streamers of green and white. At 7:45 Mrs. Beulah Franklin sang very sweetly "I Love You Truly." At 8 P. M. the bridal party marched in, while the sounds of Mendelsohn's wedding march peeled forth, Miss Clarissa Mason at the piano. The bride was given away by her father, Dr. Dean Franklin Miller at the altar. The bride wore a beautiful gown of spangled lace over white satin with the wedding train. The maid of honor was Miss Marion Miller, who wore a gown of pink beaded georgette, the bride's maid, Miss Wilfred Brown gave a gown of pea green barasette satin. The flower girl, little Elizabeth Miller, strew flowers along the bridal path. The best men were Mr. Norris Gregory and Benjamin Singleton. Mrs. S. Dunn and Mac Dowell of the Lion Tamers club acted as ushers. After the services at the church the bridal party and guests motored out to the country home of Mrs. Parker's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Nelson's, where the reception was held. Those present at the reception were: Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Miller, Rev. and Mrs. G. T. Raimey, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Grimes, Mr. and Mrs. John Walker, Mr. and Mrs. H. Myall, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Jason Walker, Mr. and Mrs. William Hurd, Mrs. Green, Mrs. Alice Talbert, Mrs. Hattie Gaines, Mrs. Alice McAdoo, Mrs. Wesley Samuels, Miss Lois Grimes, Miss Marion Miller, Miss Willifred Brown, Messrs.

Joe Williams of Leavenwroth were down last Friday night attending a meeting of the Second Batalion of the uniform rank of Knights of Pythias. Number 16 "BIRTH OF A NATION" FILM PROTESTED BY CIVIC LEAGUE. HOME THEATRES REFUSE TO USE IT, BUT-- At the regular meeting of the Civic League Tuesday evening the matter of the board of review having passed the Birth of a Nation film, to be shown in this state came up for consideration. The action of the League heretofore taken at the call meeting last Saturday was heartily endorsed. In the resolution passed at that time, and sent to the governor it was stated that we are strongly of the opinion that the position which he had heretofore held, and as expressed publicly last July was decidedly more conducive to the peace, harmony and material welfare of the people of this state, than the judgment of the state board of review in passing the film, can ever possibly be. And we therein, urgently requested him to use his kind offices and power to prevent the presentation. For the very good and sufficient reason that it cannot and will not do any good, but is altogether capable of doing unlimited harm. And the League further resolved to join with all other agencies in urging and hoping the governor will yet find it possible to correct the mistake made by the board of review. They also expressed their appreciation of the position assumed by the local theaters, in refusing to present the film, although the only reason given for not doing so was that it would not pay. And they further expressed their hearty and high appreciation of the stand taken by the christian ministers of this city. And we commend them for their high moral courage—in placing the peace, harmony and welfare of the community above the acquisition of wealth. The stand taken by these gentlemen is worthy of more than passing consideration, for by it they are dipping deeply into the future and building much better than those who are obsessed with the wild and unreasonable rush for money which seem to control most men in this age. After the transaction of much profitable business they adjourned to meet Tuesday the 18th. I. F. BRADLEY, Pres. WM. H. TOWERS. Acting Cecy.

Thanksgiving day brought its many thankful appreciations to the human family out through the land, although many were housed in with infirmities, some incarcerated, others with lamentations, but God was mindful of all of them. The Master's presence was shown in the hearts of His followers, in words of sympathy, encouragement, filled baskets and prayer Gloomy homes were made brighter and happier for the day at least, to many, whose souls had been screened from a clear vision of God's goodness. Mrs. Minnie Davies, who has been stopping with Mrs. Pearl Bryant for several weeks, left last Wednesday November 28, for Claremore, Okla., where she joined her husband, Rev.

CHURCH. Corner Fourth and Stewart Streets Rev. S. D. Rhone, Pastor. Rev. N. B. Robinson, Asst. Pastor Residence, 128 Greeley Ave. Phone, Fairfax 2330. Sunday school was held at 9:30 a.m. In spite of the inclement weather a large number of children were present. At 11 a. m. our pastor delivered a timely and spiritual sermon to a large and appreciative audience who had come for the monthly communion and to hear God's message through His messenger. Rev. Rhone spoke on the "Power of the Holy Ghost." He explained carefully the meaning of the Holy Ghost and office of the Holy Ghost. He showed that our great lesson derived from Old Testament times came to us through the Jews who learned that there was one God, He was a spirit—with the coming of Christ, the redeemed world learned that God was not only a spirit, but those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. --- He concluded by showing that the Holy Ghost was ever present, helping us in our prayers, infirmities, trials and tribulations. The Holy Ghost spirit intersessions for us. At 8 o'clock our pastor delivered another powerful message from the subject "The World's Greatest Character." He said: "Of all the minds that the world has ever known, the mind of Christ is the mightiest. The minds of the Greeks and Romans fall into obscurity before it. It has illuminated and inspired the whole world, and now it only is the way to true civilization. He is the only great religious leader who has identified religion with morals. His great command, 'Love thy neighbor as thyself,' is the highest moral ideal that has even been given to man." The Sweet Shop 420 Minneapolis Ave. Kansas City, KS.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The customary large congregation assembled at Metropolitan Baptist Church, 11 a. m., Sunday, December 2 and were rewarded with a great sermon by Dr. H. B. Bronson and were pleased at several uniting with the church. At 8 p. m., he took as his text Jno. 19-30, "It is finished," and expounded it so saint-like (and without any worldly preliminaries) that many say of his hundreds of great sermons this was the greatest. There seemed to be a Pentecostal shower, as women began screaming and, could not stop and had to be carried out. The congregation was larger than in the morning and true christians were in ecstacy. More joined church and hundreds took the Lord's Supper. The supper seems more spiritual if some hymn like "Christ In the Garden of Gethsemane" is sung. The Sunday School is doing fine and the B. Y. P. U. has fine programs. The Aid Society gives dinners every Wednesday. The Mission meets Thursday afternoons. The Sewing Circle has dinner every Friday at the church.

Kansas City got her first snow for this year Thanksgiving day and it was a real snow, being about 9 inches deep. It commenced falling at about 10 a. m., and continued until 10 p. m. It would have been much deeper had it been a dry snow. It was that same beautiful snow, but it did not last long with us as it left us in a few days. Mrs. M. Burton, who lives with her mother, Mrs. E. J. Hutchinson, 2022 North Hallock street, has been seriously ill, is improving nicely.

D., Pastor The last Covenant meeting in the year 1923 will ever be remembered by the members and friends of the church as one of spiritual fervor and strong witnesses for Christ for all were made to feel that we were in the presence of the Host High God. The pastor gave a short exegis powerful and convincing from Acts 1:8. The facts stressed were these: Christ Wants Witnesses. A vital knowledge of Christ is the first prerequisite. Then defend His cause, speak for Christ. The meeting was one of great spiritual fervor. Several accessions for membership and a candidate for baptism were some of the spiritual rewards of our service. Many visitors were present, both in and out of the city. Messrs. Garret, Mitchell and others from Atchison, Kansas. B. Y. P. U. held an interesting session. 8 P. M. the ordinance of the Lord's supper was had and another spiritual feast was evidenced.

The members and friends that make our congregation of religious worshippers assembled a little slow today on account of the inclementy of the weather, although we finally had a large gathering. Our Sunday School was fairly attended and had a good lesson. Our good choir assisted in the opening of a good religious service of which our prayer services were very spiritual. The pastor's text was Matt. 19-22 "But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions." Theme, "Sometimes seeking instruction meets defeat." He made great stress on the seeking of instruction for selfish agrandizement, which always meets defeat. The pastor also touched on "The Russell great Sermon that was trying to prove the fallacy of Jesus Christ," and made plain the true facts taught by the Bible on the divinity of Jesus Christ and proved that the Russell sermon was false.
