Fully three thousand people were present and witnessed the opening. The General Conference assembled in Quinn Chapel A. M. E. church and marched to the armory a distance of five blocks. It was a beautiful sight, one thousand ministers headed by the bishops, marching through the streets of Louisville, a thing never witnessed before—in fact this is the largest religious convention that ever met in this city. church, which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all things."—Ephesians 1:23-23. The theme was "The Glories of the Eternal King." He said in part: "Now comes Paul, the Apostle, stalwart, invincible, thoroughly consecrated to his ministry, with a zeal that knows no bounds for the spread of the Kingdom of God. Born out of due time and the least of the apostles, he transports the four gospels from the field of history into that logic and philosophy and there makes himself, throughout his thirteen epistles, the supreme and unerring commentator on the Person and Life of Jesus of Nazareth. He explodes every doctrine for which the Christian system is known and ascribes corresponding titles to Jesus Christ, by which this man is Promptly at 10 o'clock Bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee, D.D., the senior bishop of the connection, sounded the gavel calling the general conference to order. In the opening he was assisted by the next bishop in order, Bishop Levi J. Coppin, who lined as the opening hymn, "And Are We Yet Alive, and See Each Other's Face? Glory and Praise to Jesus Give for His Redeeming Grace." Bishop H. Blanton Parks, of Chicago, made the opening prayer which Was fervent and soul-stirring. Then followed organ voluntary, and responsive scripture lessons, Psalms 133, 134, 135, led by Bishop William D. Chappelle, of Columbia, S. C. Bishop Joshua A. Jones, of Wilberforce, Ohio, conducted the decalogue, concluding with Gloria Patri, and the second scripture lesson by Bishop James N. Conner, of Little Rock, Ark. Bishop W. W. Beckett lined the second hymn, "How Did My Heart Rejoice to Hear My Friend Devoutly Say, 'In Zion Let Us All Appear, and Keep the Solemn Day.'" Then followed the feature of the opening of the General Conference the sermon by Bishop John Hurst, of Baltimore, Md., the wizard of the A. M. E. Church, and 'one of the most noted men of his race in this country. The sermon was in keeping with the reputation of the bishop. It was based on "And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the PRESIDENT COOLIDGE COMMENDS "GO-TO-HIGH SCHOOL, GO-TO-COLLEGE" CAMPAIGN Purpose of Movement Stated by Raymond W. Cannon, Director of the Campaign. Arrangements Being Perfected for Conduct of Campaign in All Sections of the Country During the Week of May 11 to 18. "Go to High School, Go to College," is the cry that soon will be issuing from the throats of nearly three thousand members of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity in the endeavor to uplift and better the Negro race and mankind through the education of its youth. Every year this national Negro college fraternity designates a week in May for the Go-to-High School, Go-to-College campaign. From May 11 to May 18, inclusive, fifty chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity in the United States, located at most of the leading institutions of learning, from Yale and Harvard universities on the east to the University of California on the west, and from the University of Minnesota on the north to Atlanta University on the south, will conduct campaigns, carrying and explaining the sacred message of education to 5,000,000 Negro boys and girls. Activities in this vicinity are under the supervision of the Upsilon Chapter of this fraternity, located at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kas. Doxey A. Wilkerson, president of the chapter, and Nelson E. Woodley, secretary, are directors of the movement. The Purpose of the Movement Raymond W.

The theme was "The Glories of the Eternal King." He said in part: "Now comes Paul, the Apostle, stalwart, invincible, thoroughly consecrated to his ministry, with a zeal that knows no bounds for the spread of the Kingdom of God. Born out of due time and the least of the apostles, he transports the four gospels from the field of history into that logic and philosophy and there makes himself, throughout his thirteen epistles, the supreme and unerring commentator on the Person and Life of Jesus of Nazareth. He explodes every doctrine for which the Christian system is known and ascribes corresponding titles to Jesus Christ, by which this man is known in the gospel and he so simplifies the revealed truths of God that the blessings of redemption are not only made prominent, but Christ stands as the only medium thru which such blessings are to be possessed and enjoyed by all believers. "Christ came into the world as God's messenger, to declare and make God known to man and to bring man to God. In the exercise of his meditorial government, God hath cut all things under his feet and gave him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. "In other words, God turned over to him the heritage of all the families and of all the nations of the earth, whether they be Jews or Gentiles, and He maintains absolute supremecy over all of them and he is committed so to do to the end of time. His work is to eradicate all moral evils and build up or recreate the world and make it new." The sermon was punctured with shouts of amen and many other expressions of approval. It was declared by many that Bishop Hurst preached as never before in his life. This sermon was followed by a most wonderful sermon by Bishop I. N. Ross, of Washington, D. C., and then followed the Consecration of the Holy Communion by Bishops A. J. Carey, W. Sampson Brooks, W. T. Vernon and William A. Fountain. effort to bring the parents and youths of our country to a deeper realization of the importance of education. Education in its broadest sense comprehends every form of preparation in our youth for the sequel of our lives. The success of our country in the future is absolutely dependent upon the education of our boys and girls beyond that degree possessed by their immediate predecessors, that they may be the better able to carry on life's work to the greatest degree of perfection. If, through our efforts, we are able to stimulate the ambition of our youth to that point which will compel them to ascertain what in life is good and what is evil, what ought to be done and what ought not to be done, a knowledge of phenomena as explained by and resolved into causes and reasons, powers and laws; with always that unselfish and sincere regard for their fellowmen, then have we builded for the future and rendered to posterity and to mankind a service which is sacred."

WESTERN UNIVERSITY WINS OVER SUMNER HIGH Western Has not Lost a Track Meet in History of the School Amidst din and confusion resulting from 500 wildly gesticulating persons, Western University walked away with honors from Sumner High School Thursday in a dual track meet in Fourteenth and Armstrong park. Western had a total of 87 points while Sumner eked out a bare 21. Western lived up to her old tradition. Western has not lost a track meet in the history of the school, her nearest rival being Sumner, who tied her last May in the Association meet. The lads from Western seem to be gifted with running ability, taking first place in eleven of the fourteen events, allowing Sumner only three first places. Sumner has lost two of her last year's stars and point winners through graduation, Thatcher and Hill. Western also lost several, but their places seem to be amply filled with new recruits. Western has only one of her last year's dash men, who is Harold Wilson, known as the "California Flash."

May Religion The meeting I have been telling you all the time that there was going to be big doings in Louisville, and if you were here you would agree that I was about right, not right about. I am glad to tell you that the General Conference has opened, and there are some delegates and some candidates here who are dtmind to make things go. Some people thought that there would not be so many people in town; but they are here, and I wish you could see the headquarters, the campaign stuff, and the lobbying and so many other things which are going on right now, and the general conference is not a week old. It opened up here Monday morning in great shape. Fully 22,500 people witnessed the opening. Bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee sounded the gavel calling the General Conference to order, followed by an organ prelude and Bishop Lee led in scripture sentences, and then followed that by a hymn led by Bishop Levi J. Coppin of Philadelphia. And are we yet alive, and Bishop H. Blanton Parks then took up the throne of Grace. He talked to the Lord, believe me. He is one more praying man and his petition to the throne brought forth many expressions of "Amen." Organ voluntary was the next in order, and response scripture lesson by Bishop W. D. Chapelle. This was the 133, 134 and 138 Psalm, and this was followed by the Decalogue by Bishop Joshua A. H. Jones, and the second scripture lesson by Bishop J. M. Conner. Then Bishop W. W. Beckett lined up the next hymn, "How did my heart rejoice to hear my friends devoutly say, 'In Zion let us all appear, and keep the solemn day.'" This brought the people to the great feature of the opening, the quadrennial sermon by Bishop John Hurst, D. D., of Baltimore. It was one more great sermon, and the people were just lifted heavenward. Many declared that it was the greatest sermon ever delivered before a General Conference. You know he is a preacher. His sermon was indeed the keynote sermon, and it is hoped that the whole General Conference will measure up to all he has said and done during these months. If you have never been to a general conference, you have no conception of one, for there is nothing like one in all the world except the real thing. They are here from everywhere, and they are aspiring to carry back home with them the bacon. But there will be some sadly disappointed hearts when the General Conference is over and you may put it down that I told you all this. Religious Education Board Meeting The Religious Education Board meeting was held Monday night at the Chamber of Commerce. The following properly chosen delegates of our group were present: Board members from Metropolitan Baptist Church, Mrs. M. C. Matthews and Mrs. Fréelain, from First A. M. E. Church; Mrs. A. M. Browne and Miss Mae McLelland, Eighth Street Baptist Church; Rev. Jackson, First Baptist Church; and Prof. S. Scruggs. Rev. H. B. Bronson was elected as one of the four directors; the other three are Caucasian. Rev. Osborne, Caucasian, was elected president. Rev. Bronson was not present, but received a large vote from white and colored. Mrs. Dwiggins and Mrs. L. Green were at the meeting and many whites were there. Space will not admit naming all the officers. The Ever-Ready Club of the Yates Branch will serve dinner May 15, beginning at 12 o'clock.

Phone Fairfax 2330. Rev. N. B. Robinson, assistant pastor. The Sunday School is steadily growing in numbers. Much creditable work is being done by the superintendent. At 11 a. m., Rev. N. B. Robinson preached an able sermon to an appreciative congregation. He chose for his text John 1:24. His explanation of the text was wonderful. In the absence of our pastor, Rev. Rhone, who has gone to Louisville, Ky., to attend the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, Rev. Robinson will perform all pastoral duties of the church. Good sermons will be given at all services and friends are urged to come. The pupils of the Young People's Class of the Sunday School furnished an excellent program for the Christian Endeavor Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock. Each Sunday promises a good program. The Emergency Club will have charge of the program Sunday evening at 8 o'clock, given in honor of Mothers. Children of the Sunday School will assist. Our regular quarterly conference has been postponed during the absence of our pastor and presiding elder. The women were victors in the contest just closed. The King, Queen and attendants were beautifully dressed for the occasion. Now the women are saying to the men, "An empty wagon makes the most noise." The program rendered at this time was enjoyed by all present. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES On Sunday, May 4, a large Sunday School was enjoyed, then promptly at 11 a. m. church services were begun. As the evangelist was unable to get here until Sunday, April 18, Pastor Bronson preached an able sermon on "And ye shall be my witnesses." Subject. "Jesus on Trial." He said in part, "The world is either accepting Christ or rejecting Him. Witness, whose lives show they know Christ, testify for Him." He charged all to get on the Lord's side, and stay close to Him." Rev. Bronson explained the plan of Salvation very plain and nine united with the church; also some converts. At 6:30 p. m., the B. Y. P. U. were entertained by the C. E. of the A. M. E. Church with a very fine program. Some of the main numbers were by the Boys' Orchestra. All enjoyed the wonderful program. At 8 p. m., Rev. Morandia of India, preached a good sermon, and at its close Pastor Bronson baptized several and administered the Lord's Supper. A beautiful feature of the Sacrament was the singing of the touching hymn, "It Is Well With My Soul," started by Deacon Stovall. The singing during the preparation of the feast has the most spiritual effect on the soul. Hundreds took Sacrament as a manifestation of Christ's death and resurrection, and they sang a hymn and went out as the Apostles did 1924 years ago. News Notes The Mission Circle, Sewing Circle, Wide Awake Club, New Comers Club and Bible Classes all have prayer meetings before their regular meetings. Church every night this week and every night of the week beginning May 11. Rev. Washington, or some noted preacher will sure be here this Sunday to assist Rev. Bronson in this revival. All are invited to hear the new evangelist and see him and our pastor conduct a revival. Our K. C. Forum at Lawrence Our K. C. Forum at Lawrence Our K. C. Forum rendered a fine program at the Lawrence Forum, May 4, at the Second Baptist Church. The church was crowded into the balcony and the Lawrence people praised the numbers highly. The selections were as follows: National Hymn; invocation, Rey. Royston; music; prayer, Rev. Jackson; vocal solo, Mrs. Bertha T. Bailey; quotations, led by Mrs. L. Green; address, "Authority," Pres. W. R. Fulbright; original poem, "Some of Our Great Men and Women." Mrs. M. C. Matthews; music; paper of Mary B. Talbott, Mrs. W. Dwiggins; current events, Mr. J. H. Cooper; critic's report, Mr. H. Brown. Miss Over of Kansas University delivered the address of welcome and everything passed off pleasantly. Mr. W. R. Fullbright entertained Mesdames L. Green, M. C. Matthews and W. Dwiggins at a fine chicken dinner at a Lawrence cafeteria. The Lawrence Forum will come to Kansas City, Kas., Sunday, May 18, and deliver a program. Tell everybody and come yourselves. Dr. Davis, vice president of the Forum, presided, but did not sing in Lawrence. Mrs. Pearce of Lawrence and others said "they do not dare put anyone on their programs with poems against Mrs. Matthews. President Fullbright talked before the Lawrence B. Y. P. U. St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Kansas City, Kas., had a very high day Sunday. It was their Rally Day. Rev. S. H. Short of Sioux City, Iowa., Rev. Wells and the Rev Meadows were present. The Rev Wells and the Rev. Meadows are carrying on a great revival which is to continue to the third Sunday. Everybody is invited. J. A. BROADNAX, Pastor. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH Third and State Ave. E. M. Mosley, Pastor. The congregation of religious worshippers met early and begin a spiritual prayer service in preparation for the reception of the Holy Spirit during the pastor's morning sermon. The pastor's text: 1 John 4, 1. "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world." Subject, "Spiritual Tests." He emphasized the spiritual trials of the Christian's lives. He made the audience see with mind's eye that John's type of trials are still represented in a different form in our walks of life today. The Holy Spirit blessed the meeting and many of his hearers were not through drinking when he closed. Many sinners came forward for the prayers of the church. Two members were added to the church. The B. Y. P. U. had a grand session at 5 p. m. with an additional interesting program. The clubs announced a re-opening of their work, which has been closed during the meeting for two weeks. The night services were very spiritual. The pastor's text, Nahum 1, 7: "The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him." Theme, "My Sheep Know My Voice." He made such an impression on his hearers that Christians could feel the spiritual fire burning within ther hearts and ten sinners came forward for prayer out of which one candidate for baptism w plucked from satan's kingdom, and four members were added to the church. Pray for our success. Sister Baskin, 212 Steward avenue, is sick. A special donation of $12.00 was taken up for a poor sister whose husband had left her and her little infant on the mercies of the people. Read the Advocate. Elephants Declare War Against All White Men The elephants in the great jungle forests about Mount Kenya, have been worried so much by hunters that they have declared war on the whole white race. These forests happen to be of all elephant ground the most accessible to Natrobl. In consequence, two results. The herds, through sane protection, in that cows and breeding bulls are never shot, have held their numbers; and visiting sportsmen have for years gone there in search of their permitted trophy. As a consequence these elephants—and there are a great many of them—have become very savage. Cuninghame, who has been one of the greatest elephant men of his day, told me the last time I saw him, says Stewart Edward White in the Saturday Evening Post, that hunting elephants had become too dangerous; the elephants by long education had become too formidable. The odds were too great. Cuninghame, as is known by admiring experience, when it comes to elephants, loves the "bright face of danger." He told a further interesting fact illustrative of these animals' intelligence. At certain points near the borders of the forest where native shamhas have been established the great beasts seem to have made certain distinctions. Native women cutting wood in the forest they vouchsafe no attention whatever, neither attacking or bothering to move away. If native men happen upon them they quietly withdraw. On becoming aware of white men they almost invariably attack. It would seem that they have come to realize that women are always harmless; that native men are probably harmless, but subject to distrust; that white men are inveterate enemies. Seattle Man's Cellar Seattle's strangest cellar is 90 feet high. If G. C. Zimple fell from his front window he wouldn't be hurt much. But if he tumbled from the living room in the rear—good-night. It's 110 feet down. Zimple walks into his home at No. 195 Lakedell avenue, on the street level. Fifteen feet further is his living room, 110 feet above ground. The roof of the basement at the corner is more than 90 feet above the floor. Zimple came West a few years ago and bought a lot from an unscrupulous realtor. The size of the plot was all right, but the land went up the side of a steep hill. Undaunted he built a home. It stood on stilts and was an object of interest to tourists who visited Leschi Park. The owner decided to build another home. He constructed it right under the first, walling in the plilling. He still has room to build other small houses underneath the present two. And four homes, one above the other, on one lot is a record, he thinks. This unique home was long known to Seattleites as the "Bird house" from its appearance.

Too Short A visitor to a country town, talking to a local resident, was criticizing the one paper the town boasted. "Well," he concluded, "I'll say this for the editor—he can be the most sarcastic fellow that ever was when he tries." "How's that?" asked the other. "Why, in last week's issue the feature entitled 'Local Intelligence' was only about three inches in length." The Master They were on their honeymoon and she regarded him as the most wonderful being in the whole world. They strolled along the seashore. Suddenly he stopped and in a fine poetic frenzy declaimed: "Roll on, thon deep and mighty ocean, roll!" "Oh, look. George!" she cried in "Oh, look, George!" she cried in ecstasy. "It's doing it!" Too Busy The small girl met the doctor near her home. "No, thanks," came the prompt reply. "Why, we've scarcely time even to wash the dog."

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE GENERAL CONFERENCE or against that people. (Continued from Page 1.) The afternoon session opened at 5 o'clock with Bishop Lee presiding, assisted by Bishop J. Albert Johnson. Following the opening, the General Conference turned attention to business. The first being the election of secretary. This was a lively contest, resulting with Dr. R. S. Jenkins, of Texas, being elected, and was given power to appoint the necessary assistants. A resolution prevailed making the chaplains in the United States Army, members of the African Methodist Episcopal church, who were present at the General Conference members. This provoked a lively discussion. Then followed what easily might be called the keynote address—the Episcopal Address. This outlines the matters to be considered by the body. It is to the General Conference what a message from the President of the United States is to Congress. This important document, coming from the fathers of the church, the bishops, was delivered by Bishop J. S. Flipper, of Georgia. The bishops recorded the facts that since the last session of the General Conference, death had invaded the ranks, and recorded the names of those who had gone to the Great Beyond: Bishop Evans Tyree, Bishop Benjamin Tucker Tanner, Bishop Charles Spencer Smith, Dr. B. F. Watson, Secretary Church Extension, Rev. J. I. Lowe, Business Manager Book Concern, Dr. Thomas H. Jackson, Professor at Wilberforce, Revs. A. L. Murray, J. E. Jackson, N. B. Sterritt, N. Benbry, S. D. Roseboro, A. M. Jordan, J. T. Lomax, W. M. Brown, A. T. Tunson. C. H. Powell, R. D. Brooks, C. H. Shelto, I. H. Hawkins, P. A. Luckie, C. W. Dunlap, H. Dean, R. J. Williams, and R. H. Singleton. It took up every phase of the church work, and defined the General Conference and its functions. Declared the address "We believe in a consecrated, educated ministry, and that the man who fills the pulpit should know and deliver his message with power and understandingly. We are not giving the attention to our theological seminaries as we are to academic schools; that is, we are taking more time to prepare the pew to follow, than are the pulpit to lead. We are still of the opinion that we should have two well endowed theological seminaries, and the requirements for entering the ministry should be a theological training. We cannot lower the standard, but we must raise it! 'For the priests lips should keep knowledge, they should seek the law at his mouth, for he is the messenger of the Lord of Hosts.' This is the Bible standard for an efficient ministry, taken from the Old Testament and one familiar to us all." The Bishops commended in the highest marriage, and declared that a minister should be a married man, and the husband of one wife. They urged the Conference of the young minister with the brethren before marrying, and told them to be careful in the selection of a companion, and then they strongly condemned the divorce evil. They said that it was never intended that man should be divorced, yet God knowing humanity, made provisions for legal separation, when man and woman had separated in heart. It was a practical common sense view and the bishops are to be commended. Prohibition Migration, came in for discussion, and they showed careful study of conditions and their views were helpful, not alone to the church, but to the nation. Speaking of the present national administration, the bishops said, "The political parties of America are Democratic and Republican, other parties wield no scepter in deciding who shall govern the nation. For a half century our group have sided with the Republican party. We felt that the party had much to do with giving us our freedom and franchise, yet since the days of President Grant, the Negro has had but little recognition in the distribution of office. The more qualified the less recognition. "No administration has been so slow to recognize him as the present. It was thought that when we turned our political influence and voted solidly for the present administration, that we would share the spoils of office, and enjoy the protection of the government. But we do not enjoy the spoils of office, nor the protection of the national government. Few have been appointed to offices that are remunerative, and the senate, although Republican, has rejected a part of the few. The same Senate killed the "Dyer Bill," rejected the loan of five million dollars to Liberia, yet did loan millions to other governments that had been no more loyal to the Allies than Liberia, and suffered no more for the cause of the war than Liberia. "We are of the opinion that racial prejudice entered into these acts, and were more potent than any other factor. We cannot but say to our people that the ballot is the greatest weapon a free people can have; but it depends upon the use of it, whether it tells for or against that people. The Negro holds the balance of power in many states, and she should wield that power to elect more and advanced measures that will tell politically, economically and socially to his benefit. He cannot sit idly by as the leader of his race and suffer them longer to be the tools of politicians who have no interest outside their own advancement." The bishops recommended that two bishops be elected, but it is expected that the Episcopal Committee will raise it to three or four. It is also recommended that women be admitted to membership in Annual and General Conferences. The reading of the address was finished in the session this morning. The addresses of welcome were delivered Monday night. Bishop A. J. Casey, presided. Things are waxing warm for the election of bishops and general officers. As it is now, Revs. John A. Gregg, A. J. Wilson, R. C. Ransom, A. L. Gaines, R. W. Mance, R. A. Grant, and G. B. Young with M. W. Thornton are in the lead. It will take the ballot to determine which.

THE PUBLIC RENTAL SANTAL MIDY MORE ALL RENTED CATARRM OF BLADDER (Continued from Page 1.) Have you ever seen any church politics? If you have not, then you should be here to see it carried out. Headquarters after headquarters, streamers, placards, tickets and everything else, telling the delegates to vote for this one for this place and that one for that place, and everything else. Strange things have happened. I heard Bishop Joshua H. Jones say that he was going to support Dr. John A. Gregg for the position of bishop, and they shook hands on this. I believe that he will do it, and that means that Dr. John A. Gregg will return from the General Conference as.Bishop John A. Gregg, and we will all rejoice over this, and then there is another proposition to make Dr. Gilbert Jones, president of Wilberforce University, and I am of the opinion that he will make a real good president, and we care not what others may see or say, he is one of the best trained men in the race, and a man with ability to handle big propositions. Now then, you want to know some of the other things that are to happen. Get down on your knees and talk to heaven about it. For there are many aspirants for honors, many wanting to be bishops, and it will be impossible to elect them all. Rev. A. L. Gaines is looming up, and there is Rev. A. J. Wilson, from North Carolina, and you will not be surprised if there should be at the close of the General Conference a Bishop R. C. Ransom and Dr. J. C. Anderson is in the race and I would not fail to mention Dr. A. H. Hill, Dr. S. L. Green, Dr. O. M. Moody, and all of these men are from Arkansas, and Arkansas should know that the General Conference will not elect three men from that state to fill the high and holy office of bishop. I have in mind then Dr. R. A. Grant, from Florida, and he is to be elevated if he gets votes enough; Dr. W. H. Thomas is here from Denver and he is indeed a worthy man, and I want to see him elevated to the high office, and I could just write about the worthy men for the next month or so. But I must now tell about some of the others. Rev. A. S. Jacksn, and I should have said Prof. A. S. Jackson, the commissioner of education. He should be elected without opposition, for he has served well, yet there comes out one within his own rank and announces that he is running for commissioner of education. I spoke to him about it, and he told me, "I am a man, and I am not going to crush my ambition for any one." I did not ask Brother Johnson to crush his ambition, but I really wanted him to exercise some common sense. I do not want him to get in the class of damphules. Rev. S. J. Johnson is holding his own and I am of the opinion that he is goin gto be elected on the first ballot. The field is full of candidates for the position, but only one will be elected as secretary of the Church Extension, and we want that one to be Johnson. H. W. Jamison, the Rev. Dr. David J. T. Hall, the Rev. Dr. J. W. Hare, and some others have their heads up, and I was surprised to find J. T. Smith of Kansas in the ring with his hat, head and all. I may come a little closer home in my next letter. Dr. Sims has his eye on the throttle and his hands on the rail and we find Dr. C. W. Abington with many friends. Now, just where the missionary plum will fall, I will have to tell you later. Dr. Noah Williams is strong, and the same is true of Dr. J. A. Hadley, and you had better keep eyes on Hadley. He is some pumpkins. When Dr. Ransom is made bishop, then Dr. C. A. Wingfield will step into that plum and he will feed the minds and souls of his people. He is worthy and will make a good editor. Rev. S. S. Morris will step into his position without opposition, and the same will be true of Dr. D. M. Bax- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE ter and R. R. Wright, but there are some people who are contending for the Southern Christian Recorder; They will have to beat Dr. G. W. Allen. He is a good man. But let me not take up all your time about the General Conference, for that will be the burden for several weeks yet. I will not be able to tell you all in one day. For I have been to the National Race Congress in Washington, D. C., and the Rev. W. H. Jernagin was elected president for another year, Dr. J. U. King, vice president; Dr. P. F. Jackson, Virginia, secretary; Miss Della E. Harris, assistant secretary; Melvin J. Chisum, executive secretary; R. W. Jefferson, Baltimore, lecturer; Dr. C. T. Welcher, New Jersey, treasurer; Dr. F. J. Edwards, Maryland, lecturer; John R. Hawkins, D. C., treasurer of defense fund; James E. Dickerson, sergeant-at-arms; J. Louis Taylor, attorney; Mrs. G. Pelham, president of Women's Auxiliary; Mrs. E. L. Bryant, treasurer; Mrs. E. N. Wright, secretary. I would just like to take up the time to tell you all about this, but you will pardon me from so doing. I made it from Washington to this city, leaving in a bed car on the Chesapeake & Ohio, making a good ride and enjoying myself. I have not seen many of the delegates, only about 500 of them, and will see the others later. Will you let me have a line from you. My mail is all going to 621 South Eighth street, Louisville, Ky. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Dave—She was as pure as snow—but she drifted. It is pretty safe to denounce something that happened 300 years ago. Winter really extends from porch swing season to porch swing season. Let others make speeches; I am content to work and remain silent. No one can speak well unless he thoroughly understands his subject. If a man is ignorant enough, you can never convince him of anything. Fault to find with too many repentances is that they are not permanent. Wise as a serpent, is a Bible expression. The serpent does not utter its thoughts. Number of bones in a rabbit are as great as the number of unexpected jumps he can make. Attending a convention has to be reckoned as a pleasure trip as well as other kinds of vacations. State of Kansas, Wyandotte County, ss: In the Probate Court in and for Said_County.
