MIDNIGHT DISSTURBS PORTALS OF TEMPLE; FRIENDS COME TO HIS RESCUE Denmark, South Carolina, April 10.—Another attempt has been made to get in the Masons, and this time I got up close to the Grand Master, and stole in through his private entrance, and when they asked: "Who dare to disturb the portals of the temple at this late hour?" and without a minute to waste I replied: "I am King Solomon came here to solemnizerate the domifications." I heard some fellow say: "I think he is a thirty-third degree Mason and he is talking out of our sight." Well, pretty soon the Grand Master, Most Worshipful David D. Powell, entered, and that man is possessed of less manner of any man in the whole shooting match, for every fellow pulled of his hat, but he did not, and there he sat up there, the biggest guy in the whole business with his hat on his head. I suppose he must have had an unduly face extension, his face having gone way up high depriving his head of so much hair, and he did not care to catch cold in his head of wisdom. Grand Master David D. Powell looked at me and said to the instigator, "I smell a stranger within our midst, and he does not seem to have the Masonic smell, you will therefore have that good looking man with blue eyes approach the approcher, and let us ascertain his rights to be in here without the proper odor." Two great big men rushed to me, and said something to me in an unknown tongue, and I could not reply, because I didn't know what they were talking about, and they stood me up in the middle of the floor and then half dozen men came and stood me on my head and with a paddle they spanked the place that I occupy for sitting down, and then with a Palm Sunday to Be Observed BY PRINCE HALL GRAND COURT Sunday, April 13, 1924, Palm Sunday will served by Prince Hall Grand Court, Heroines of A.

Park hot iron at some unknown spot they branded me with the letter "G" with some marks around it, and declared they would forever know me. They then demanded of me a pass word, and when I did not have the right kind of word, they made an attempt to take my life, but one man said, "Hold on I will give you one for him." He said I was Cain and Able Fullax of Hamitag," and that seemed to satisfy, and I was seated in one of the most interesting meetings it has been my lot to attend for many moons. It was the 54th annual communication of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the state of Florida and jurisdiction. Now what that means I do not know. They went through some kind of signs, and then the meeting by the power and authority festicated in Grand Master Powell was declared wide open for any business that might be fetched before it for consideration. It was indeed a representative body and you will believe me when I tell you it is a wealthy body, for Iheard Grand Secretary of what they called M. B. A. A. Lewis report that they had assets amounting to over half million dollars, and that is going some. I am sure you will be pleased to know that they have purchased not alone that fine building which was erected under Grand Master Dickerson, paid for under Grand Master Powell, but under the administration of Grand Master Powell, they have purchased a whole town, and it has been called Cisco, but hereafter its name shall be called "David City," for Grand Master, and they are going to do wonderful things there. Right now they have a home for the Masons who are unable to take care of themselves. They are going to have a real good school there next year, and then other things are going to follow. I was introduced to the next Bishop from Florida, Rev. R. A. Grant, D.D., who is a Mason and a strong man. He has been recommended by the craft to his church.

Carmel Baptist church. This is going to be one more great meeting, and wonderful things are to be accomplished for our people. Every word uttered by Dr. Jeragin, was filled with inspiration, and I just had to shout right out, "Glory to God in the Highest." I shouted because I was happy, and real happy at that. "Praise the Lord all my soul." He is good and I am happy because He has laid His hands on me." I heard some mighty good speeches made in that Grand Lodge and I met some mighty good men. Florida is leading the country. They stand together, and they work together. The meeting of the grand lodge was held on the fifth floor, but down on the fourth floor in another large hall room, met the Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, and they are the female Masons or some thing like that.

Few realize the broad scope of the work and activities of the Young Men's Christian Association. In the first place it renders twenty-fours' service every day in the year. This service has no other objective than the interests of men and boys. A staff of five secretaries and a night clerk are alert every moment of that time to encourage and develop each one who comes to the counter; sleeps in the dormitory, eats in the cafeteria and plays in the various activities offered. Its purpose is to develop the good in men and boys. It is an institution that offers its help to the man farthest down as well as to the man already on his feet. It believes that men do not need to be bad; that men can do good and make others happy. This is a big world—big with the possibilities of helpfulness. It is a happy world for the man or institution that finds pleasure in bringing peace out of confusion, joy out of sorrow and encouraging love where sin is. Parents should join heartily in the program of the Young Men's Christian Association by keeping themselves in close touch and by all means giving their sons to its environment. A clean mouthed, clean bodied, clean thinking, clean living boy or man is a joy forever. He is a mother's pride, a state's capital, a nation's safety. G. A. GREGG, Executive Secretary.

VERNON ARRIVE HOME FROM AFRICA They Accomplished a Great Work in South Africa in their Four Years of Labor. Bishop W. T. Vernon of the African Methodist Episcopal church has returned to Kansas City after a five-months' stay in his diocese in South Africa. Bishop and Mrs. Vernon left South Africa six weeks ago. They returned so that the bishop might attend the general conference of the A. M. E. church to be next month in Louisville, Ky. Bishop Vernon just has completed four years of service as head of the seventeenth Episcopal diocese in Africa. The territory of which he was head comprised Cape Colony, Transvaal, Natal, the Orange Free State and Basutoland. What Bishop Vernon's future work will be will be announced at the general conference. During his four-year stay in Africa, Bishop Vernon has organized 150 preachers and missionary workers whose work extends from Cape Town to the Zambesi river, and from the Atlantic ocean to the west to the Indian ocean on the east. He has developed the work in Nyasaland, a new field, and has built a school for the Basutos, natives of South Africa who comprise the British protectorate. The Basutos are the freest natives in South Africa, Bishop Vernon says. The school, the "Emily Vernon Mission," was dedicated a week before the bishop and Mrs. Vernon sailed. Among those present at the dedication was the paramount chief of the Basutos and Sir E. F. Garraway, high commissioner of Basutoland. Building occupied nearly a year and a half, because of the difficulty in transporting materials. Some of the building material was shipped 1,000 miles. Much of it was hauled in ox carts over the mountains. The Rt. Rev. Mr. Vernon and Mrs. Vernon spent two weeks in Europe where they visited persons interested in the African mission activity. They reached New York on the steamer Berengaria. Bishop Vernon came to Kansas City twenty-eight years ago to become president of Western University. He had that position for fourteen years. In 1906 President Roosevelt appointed him register of the treasury in Washington, where he remained four and a half years. He later became president of Campbell colleke, Jackson, Miss., and pastor of the Avery chapel, Memphis, Tenn. It was from that church that he was elected bishop in.1920. He returned to the United States in 1922, remaining here until last October. SIX ROOM COTTAGE We want a couple to share a six room cottage. Home privileges. Everything furnished. Cheap.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. DR. O. L. MOODY In looking over the many candidates who are aspiring for the bishopric of the Methodist Methodist Episcopal church, at Louisville in next month, one would have a natural anxiety to see how many of them were personally known to the reader and the next thing would come to his mind, his capability and Christian fitness for this most sacred office. In our survey of the many whose literature has come to our desk, we find the name of Rev. O. L. Moody, A.M. D.D., of Arkansas. Yes, we personally know him. Not as boys who growed up together, but as college associates for a number of years, at Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio. Although some men may change and do change, but we have in the many years of separation, only meeting now and then, and inquiring through others from Dr. Moody's native state, find that same strong Christian character, only with a greater knowledge and experience of the church's needs, of which he has so diligently labored, for thirty-one years. O. L. Moody is a scholar of high rank and it never made a fool of him. His life work, as a minister of the Gospel among his fellow men and his progressive spirit for the church and humanity, tells the story of his life. He is a second real "Moody," and if elected to this high exalted office of the great A. M. E. church, it can proudly say, the bench of bishops have one uncompromising Christian churchman. Mrs. J. C. Ray, of 325 Troup avenue, who has been at Hot Springs, Arkansas, for nearly two months for her health, is doing fine and is greatly improved of which her many friends here will be delighted to hear. Bishop H. B. Parks will preach at First A. M. E. church Sunday at 11 a. m., this being the day set apart by the trustees of Western University for a financial rally for the rebuilding of the Ward and Parks Hall, that was destroyed by fire some weeks ago.

CHURCH NEWS A fine audience attended the 11 o'clock service and enjoyed a great spiritual treat, from a sermon by Rev. Edward Vaughan, dean of Shaffer Theological Seminary, of Western University. The text of Dean Vaughan was,"Ye are the salt of the earth." It was a wonderful sermon and the crowded auditorium drank in the wholesome spiritual food from the heart and soul of this great theologian. One joined the church. The dean preached again at the evening service. His text, "Grow in Grace." The audience listened to a sermon equal to the one at the 11 o'clock service and went away better prepared to battle with the weeks trials. It was a great day at First church. The Senior choir was out at the morning service in full and their music lifted the souls of their hearers. The Junior choir filled their place at the evening service and sang their soul stirring music, as usual. The Sabbath school was largely attended and a fine lesson was read and students instructed in God's Word. Dean Vaughan reviewed the lesson and brought out many helpful points. The school started Sunday on a drive for a larger membership, giving out to each pupil buttons, "Bring One." At the teachers meeting last Thursday evening at Miss Mae McClelland's, arrangements were made for a big Easter program April 20th. This Sunday Bishop H. B.

Prizes were awarded to girls and boys of all classes who had attended regularly during the quarter just ended. The superintendent and pastor made encouraging remarks to the pupils. A large audience greeted the pastor at 11 a. m. He selected for his text John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." As he talked from the beautiful subject "Peace," many felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and demonstrated that fact. The Sunday School banquet given Friday night was a great success. Much ocredit is due the superintendent and his officers for the rapid development of the Sunday School. The Play hour, under the direction of Mrs. Rhone, was enjoyed by all. The Blues were the victors. Some of our sick members were out for communion. Sisters White and Winston are still sick.

OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. E. M. Mosley, Pastor. The friends and members of Mt. Olive Baptist church had a glorious gathering March 6, for praise to God. The pastor organized a Bible Student Association among the men who love to read and study the Bible to meet at 9 a.m. every Sunday morning and began with a good membership. Come with your Bibles every Sunday morning and let us meditate and study the Bible for our good. The Sunday school was good also. The morning services were opened on time. The pastor's text Psalm 147:15, "He sendeth forth his commandments upon earth; his word runneth very swiftly." Subject, "The Word of God, its Power, Strength, Swiftness and Results." He made his subject so impressive that all received great benefit from his discourse. The Holy Spirit blessed his hearers with rejoicing. The B. Y. P. U. had a grand session at 5 p.m. and a joyful program was carried out which made the Sunday service a day of praise. The president of the B. Y. P. U. was earnest in seeing that something was gained from the lessons. The night services were good and glorious. The pastor's text, Jonah 1, 1:1, "Now the Word of the Lord came unto Jonah, the son of Amelloi, saying, 'arise( go to Ninevah, that great city and cry against it, for their wickedness is come up before me.'" Subject, "The Word Must be Obeyed." He made it felt by his hearers that the word of God must be obeyed in this life or in eternity. His discourse caused his hearers to feel the Holy Spirit burning on their hearts and eight sinners came forward for prayers. The contributions were good. The clubs are doing good work for the church. The auxiliaries are doing great church work also. The sick members are convalescing. Our Bible Student class started with fifteen members. Come and let us reason on the Scriptures and study them. We will profit thereby. Come to church. The clubs gave a grand musical program on the 10th of April. Read, the Advocate NOTICE Skirts, one-piece dress suits, coats made to individual order.

Rats Cause $2,000,000 Loss in U. S. Annually Each of us is taxed substantially $2 a year for rats. How do you enjoy this thought? And this doesn't include the evil consequences that come from the spreading of disease by these loathsome creatures. The Department of Agriculture is doing all it can to arouse our people to the need of rat extermination. It is giving specific information on the best methods of administering poison and the best kinds of poison to use. The department reports that last year's damage to produce and property by rats was $2,000,000. The department has failed to find any economic purpose served by these rodents. It is a matter of good citizenship to join in the work of their complete annihilation.—Thrift Magazine. Police Carry Phones The French police are reported to possess a new device in telephonic arrangements. This pocket phone as now used enables the members of the force to communicate with headquarters from almost any point in the streets of the city, and at any time, with a readiness impossible to the older forms of police telephones. Each officer carries a tiny instrument, practically a microphone, which he can take from his pocket and hang upon any one of the many weathertight and "foolproof" terminals which are placed in convenient localities and communicate with headquarters.

O. MIDNIGHT. woman, and I delighted in meeting her and seeing her preside. Before she permitted me to remain, she appointed a committee of me to see if I had been branded, and when they reported on my case I was made welcome into the/meeting. I heard her address, and believe me honey, it had some straight goods in it ,and then it was a literary gem. She is one more well educated presiding officer. She is loved by the women and then she is doing something for her people. Mrs. Alston not only presides over Florida, but she is president of Matron's Administrative Council of International Conference of Grand Chapter of the United States. In all and all it was a big meeting, and I enjoyed being there. I had the pleasure of coming in touch with Dr. T. W. Carter, president of the People's Insurance Compan,y which is one of the strongest in Florida, and is spreading out daily. It has taken on new life in the past year since Dr. Carter has been president, and it doth not yet appear all it shall be. Just growing and growing all the time. He is a leader of men and an organizer of the first rank. I rode some in his automobile car carriage. Now right on away from that point, yet I have not told you about being the guest of President John C. Wright and will not have time this week, for I beat it.away from there bright and early one morning breaking for this place. When I stepped off of the wagon drawn by the iron horse of the Seaboard Air Line, I found a young man with his automobile car carriage awaiting me and toted me out to Voorhees Normal and Industrial school presided over by Prof. J. E. Blanton, as principal and side by side with him is Prof. Martin A. Menafee, treasurer and the business educational genius of the race. These two men work together like the works in a well regulated clock, and they are just doing things. I was carried to the home of Prof. Menafee and received just like a real brother by Mrs. Menafee, both of the heads were having head meetings, for the whole faculty met to take up their business relative to the school work. Mrs. Menafee received me, but believe me I was entertained by Ruth Menafee, a girl 9 years old, but a child who is indeed choice with her English and knows a few things. She told me all about the getting of education, and how she had made up her mind to become useful, by first getting a real first-class education. She was going to follow in the footsteps of her ideal, which was the thing to do, for her ideal was her mother. Prof. Blanton is well educated and a worker. He is one of the strong men of the race, and I am real proud of him and his work. I tell you this education business is fine when it is well conducted and that is what they are doing at Voorhees. I would like to just tell you all about it. I will have some other educational talk for you next week, for I am going to Claflin and other points. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop, but before I stop I must call your attention to the fact that the National Race Congress will meet in Washington, April 29. Then will follow the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Texas in Fort Worth, Texas, W. S. Willis, Grand Chancellor; and the National B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress in Cleveland, about June 18; and the Baptists of Virginia will hold a big celebration the following week in Lynchburg. In May the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church will meet in Lousiville. This is where there are to be some bishops elected, and I am informed that the Rev. C. W. Abington, of Texas, is lined up for the position of Missionary Secretary, and Dr. S. J. Johnson, Secretary of the Church Extension. I will have to stop here, but you will hear from me just a little later. J. O. MIDNIGHT.
