Vol. X CLOSING DAYS OF BIG CONFERENCE VERY BUSY ONES CLOSING DAYS OF BIG CONFERENCE VERY BUSY ONES Much Business of Great Importance to the Church Holds Attention of Leaders Louisville, Ky., May 21—What might be termed the most successful general conference in the history of the African Methodist Episcopal Church has just passed into history. It was a business session and much was accomplished not alone for the church, but the entire race. There were some surprises as well as disappointments in the election and it was expected because there were so many aspirants for each place and some had to be left for the next time, and in many cases it will always be the next time and it will never come. In the election of Bishops there were 57 aspirants, and only three to be elected. Three strong men were elected and the church will continue to move on. The bishops elected were: Abraham Lincoln Gaines, Reverdy Cassius Ransom, John Andrew Gregg. Bishop Gaines was the first to be elected and it was on the first ballot, and then followed the other two in their order on the second ballot. The consecration of bishops took place Sunday and it was a great occasion, as it was the first time a bishop of the A. M. E. Church has been conserved and it is not surprising that the crowd should number 15,000 from all parts of the country, including many Kentucky people representing all religious denominations. It was a solemn occasion. Bishop Levi J. Coppin was in the chair, the senior bishop, Benjamin Franklin Lee, being unable to be present because of his physical condition. Music for the occasion was furnished by a select choir of one hundred voices under the direction of Prof. Hiram Simmons of Portsmouth, Va. Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D.D., of Chicago, preached the sermon. He used as his text, "Preach the Word." II Tim. 4:2. Bishop Abraham Lincoln Gaines who was consecrated by Bishops Benjamin Franklin Lee and A. J. Carey was presented by Revs. L. L. Berry, Virginia; M. A. Fountain, Georgia; G. T. Stinson, Louisiana; J. H. Grant, Tennessee; J. H. Wilson, California. Bishop Reverdy Cassius Ransom, who was consecrated by Bishops J. Albert Johnson and I. H. Ross, was presented by Revs. H. K. Spearman, New Jersey, W. T. Pope, Arkansas; A. D. Avery, North Carolina; L. G. Duncan, Alabama. Bishop John Andrew Gregg, who was consecrated by Bishops William Decker Johnson and William Alfred Fountain, was presented by Revs. J. C. Caldwell, Kentucky; H. Y. Tookes, Florida; E. R. Vaughn, Kansas; F. M. Gow, South Africa; J. C. Beckett, Pennsylvania. Bishop W. J. Carey made the consecration prayer and the Bible was delivered by Bishop W. Sampson Brooks. There were several general officers who were reelected without contest. In this number were: Dr. D. M. Baxter, Manager Book Concern; John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary; A. S. Jackson, Commissioner of Education; S. S. Morris, Secretary of Allen Christian Endeavor League; and for the others there was a lively contest. There were some surprises in this connection, for the Rev. E. H. Coit of South Carolina was elected Missionary Secretary; Dr. J. G. Robinson, of Michigan was elected editor of the A. M. E. Review; Dr. G. W. Allen of Tennessee was re-elected editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, and while there was a candidate for the editorship of the Christian Recorder, he was so far behind that the men declare that Dr. R. R. Wright was elected without opposition. Dr. J. D. Barksdale was elected editor of the Western Christian Recorder. Dr. S. J. Johnson, the noted preacher and leader from Texas was elected Church Extension Secretary. It was decided that in the future women can hold membership in district, annual and even general conference. She will be contending for an election four years hence. She will be a factor in church work in the future. The representation of the laity of (Continued on Page 3.)

Kansas City, Kansas, MEETING OF NATIONAL NEGRO EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS Twenty-sixth Annual Session to Be Held in Philadelphia The twenty-sixth annual session of the National Negro Educational Congress will be held in Philadelphia, Penn., June 15 to 20, inclusive. The following facts are of interest to know: The congress has branches in forty-two states. It is a civic and not political organization. The advancement of the Negro race is its one great aim. It is dependable and stands for Americanization. It seeks to make friends for the Negro among all classes of American citizens and last year in Washington, D. C., nearly every race of this great nation was represented and entered wholeheartedly in discussions. Congress believes that honesty, fidelity, industry and intelligence are the foundations upon which the race must build. It believes that only men of highest character and ability should be selected as leaders of the people and likewise trustworthy women should participate in all of the affairs of the government, on equality with men, and last, but not least, it believes in universal education. One and a half fare has been arranged with the railroads. INTERRACIAL RELIGION The publicity committee of the Week Day Religious Schools are Rev. Frank Neff, Mrs. M. C. Matthews and C. L. Pickell.

Columbus, Ohio.-Writing in the May issue of the Economic World on the subject, "The Southern Negro in Northern Industry," Mr. John B. Abell gives a very interesting and encouraging account of the progress that is being made by the migrants, and in commenting upon the difference in the type of those who came north during the war and those who are now coming, says: "A recent check made of 200 newcomers arriving at Cincinnati showed that all but a few had received high school training, had worked at some trade, and were urban dwellers. No small proportion of the number had had one or more years of college training, and were coming north with the hope that they might find some suitable outlet for their knowledge gained through schooling. Of twelve hammer men employed in one plant in Cleveland, five had attended college, and all of the balance had gone through high school." The writer quotes a northern production manager as follows: "For fifty years the north has been sending money into southern states for the education of the Negroes. We are only just beginning to reap the benefits of this expenditure and to realize that we have had a splendid source of labor supply at our back door, while we have been moaning over the decrease of immigration from southern and eastern Europe." WESTERN UNIVERSITY TRACK TEAM BREAKS RECORDS Four Valley records were broken in the association meet by the Western University track team. Harold Wilson broke his own record established last year in the hundred-yard dash, making it this year in ten seconds. Rose broke the fifty-yard dash record, making it in five and a fifth seconds. Robinson broke the record in the 220-yard dash. The half-mile relay record was broken by the Western relay team. Number 40 MIDNIGHT ON THE GO AGAIN AFTER CLOSE OF CONFERENCE MIDNIGHT ON THE GO AGAIN AFTER CLOSE OF CONFERENCE Will Be in Kansas City on Way to Texas Louisville, Ky., May 22, 1924—When you read this letter the General Conference of the African Methodist Church will have passed into history, and you will hear about it for the next six months or more. I was able to tell you some of the things that would happen, but now just what that Episcopal committee is going to do, I cannot say. I told you the men that were going to be elected bishops, and they are there now, and I wish you could see the three strutting Miss Lizzie. Rev. A. L. Gaines, and hereafter he shall be called Bishop Gaines, stepped out on the first ballot. He ran like the hounds were after him, and believe me there were two following—Revs. Reverdy C. Ransom and John A. Gregg, and, honey, they stepped over the fence and made a home run on the second ballot with the Rev. Dr. R. A. Grant following right behind them. He got 257 votes, and if they had elected the fourth man, then there would have been a Bishop Grant, but he will have to go back and 1928 may tell the story or it may not, because there are others who will come forth from Florida no doubt. I am sure that you have heard that already the Rev. Dr. H. Y. Tookes has been nominated, and right behind him may come the Rev. Dr. D. M. Baxter, the man who is doing so much for the Book Concern. He will perhaps step from the front, and he is from Florida. The state may not be as solid as before, but you will hear the song. I am not talking too far in advance. The bishop question was settled and then attention was turned to the election of general officers, and, honey, I wish you could have seen them, without opposition, elect the Rev. Dr. D. M. Baxter. He had won his place and he got elected by unanimous vote, and all shouted when it was over. Then Prof. John R. Hawkins stepped in without opposition, and Dr. R. R. Wright stepped in as editor of the Christian Recorder, and Prof. A. S. Jackson, the popular commissioner of education, walked right in, and it was unanimous vote. I praise the Lord for that. And then there was S. S. Morris and he jumped over the fence without opposition. I may not have named the men in order, but I want to get in all who were not opposed. Those whose positions were not contested by other men, the Lord had called to it. You remember I told you the Lord was busy calling men out of the pastorate, and it would be necessary for the Lord to call more pastors if he had called so many bishops and general officers. Now comes the first real contest, and it started one day and did not end until way up in the next day, and before telling more about this, I want to call your attention to the fact that the Rev. Dr. C. W. Abington proved to be one of the strongest men in the whole church connection, and he deserves credit, although he did not win. Single and alone, he conducted a campaign that came near landing him for missionary secretary. He held his own when they first commenced balloting, but when they adjourned over night, a new man came on the scene, and it was the Rev. Dr. E. H. Colt of South Carolina, and he will have charge of the missionary work in the future. This was a lively contest, and I am told that during the contest the right foot of Rev. A. W. Williams got elevated to the place where Dr. Roberts of Palestine occupies for seating purposes, and some seem to think that for the next few weeks Dr. Roberts will find more pleasure standing up eating his meals than he will sitting down. They are dwelling together in unity. Feet at times get out of their place, and I am sure you know Dr. Roberts. He is an active layman in the A. M. E. Church and a good doctor and he will be able to apply the seateretus and will soon be in good sitting down condition. I am told that Dr. Williams has sore feet. There was a lively contest over the next election. I have been telling you --- THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. THOS. KNAPPER Associate Editor MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS, Society Editor. MRS. F. L.

Sunday School was held at 9:30 a.m. A large number of pupils and visitors were present. Plans are underway for Children's Day exercises. At 11 a.m. a.m. our assistant pastor, Rev. N. B. Robinson, delivered a splendid sermon to a large audience. He spoke in a spiritual and interesting manner on the subject, "The Wells of Salvation." Those who heard this instructive sermon were given much food for thought. He exhorted every one to seek the wells of salvation and drink until the soul is satisfied with the living waters of the stream that never runs dry. A good crowd attended the Allen League at 6 p. m. The discussion of the topic, "How to Spend Sundays," was very interesting. The nurses of Douglass Hospital furnished the program. At 8 p. m. Rev. Robinson again brought us the message filled with power and spirit. We feel that he is developing rapidly in the strength of the Lord. He is showing this growth in his sermons that he has preached while our pastor is attending general conference. Visitors are urged to attend the weekly meetings of the Emergency Club every Wednesday at 1:30 p. m. and class and prayer meeting at 8 p. m. Mrs. Winston and Mrs. White are still on the sick list. The mothers' Day program under the auspices of the Emergency Club was a great success. The president and members of the Pastors' Aid Board of the First A. M. E. Church visited the Douglass Hospital Mothers' Day and distributed flowers. The Pastors' Aid Board of the First A. M. E. Church will meet at the home of Mrs. Clara Hawthorne, 1240 Barnett avenue, Thursday, May 29, 2:30 p. m. Mrs. Victoria French Gray entertained the Stewardess Board No. 1 of the St. Peters C. M. E. Church last Friday at her home, 1207 Barnett avenue. Covers were laid for sixteen ladies. All enjoyed the evening. The hostess was very highly praised for her lovely menu. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES As usual, a large congregation attended Metropolitan Baptist Church Sunday, May 18, 1924. Pastor Bronson rendered the instructive sermon on the text from Rom. 10:9, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." He made it so plain that five or more united with the church. The choir sang and led the people in pretty hymns that all could sing, and that made the service still more effective. Among the joiners was Mrs. Nellie Smothers, formerly of New York, and sister to Mrs. I. Wood, our organist. Three sinner gentlemen were also trying to find the way of salvation. The congregation at 8 p. m. was much larger than in the morning and Dr. Bronson preached well again. A very penitent gentleman was among the joiners. Thus making over twenty-one who have joined. Some have been baptized all along, but some are to be baptized next Sunday night. The day's collection was over $100. They will not have revival meeting every night, but only Wednesdays and Sundays. Therefore, the revival is not closed in spirit. Mrs. M. Matthews, city missionary, with Mrs. Frances Thompson, visited a man who has been sick several months and who has a wife and two small children. They recommended them to the church for aid. Wednesday night, May 21, Dr. E. A. Wilson, who visited the World's Baptist convention in Sweden, Europe, preached a wonderful sermon and also told of his travels. Next Sunday, May 25, a great service and baptizing will be held. Everybody is invited to attend Metropolitan Temple—sinners especially. The Sewing Circle had a large meeting and are going to render a play soon. Mrs. Richardson, 844 Nebraska, was quite sick this week. Mrs. Cypert left for Texas and Detroit this week. K. U. and Lawrence Forum. A large audience attended our Forum, Sunday, May 18, to hear the Lawrence Forum. The publicity committee, as usual, had gotten in her first welcome on the bulletin boards. After President Fullbright opened with prayer and "America," and Miss W. Dwiggins gave a welcome address, he presented the Lawrence president, who responded to the welcome and presided. The program was fine and was as follows: Current Events, led by Mr. Brown; piano solo, Miss Lottie Kennedy of K. U. Fine Arts, was very classic; reading, "The Tramp Organist," by Mrs. R. L. King, was very good; vocal solo, "The Lord is My Strength," by Miss Corinne Stuart of K. U. Fine Arts, was classic; paper, with a challenge to the church to give something to take the place of card-playing and other similar amusements, by Mrs. H. N. Stone, was discussed by Mr. Fulbright, Mr. Lee, Mrs. Mann, Mrs. Dwiggins and Mrs. Towers. Mrs. Childs and Rev. Bronson gave the best thoughts, when they said, "The church doesn't have to substitute amusements to take the place of cards, etc., if one is a true Christian." Some one made a motion that it was the most logical paper ever read at the Forum. About three or four voted on it. The pipe organ solo by Mr. Vernon Crouch was good. Rev. Alva Royston, now of Lawrence, made a nice talk. By motion at this tenth annual exchange of programs, it was agreed to renew the plan of formal or informal receptions. All had a fine time at this meeting and the Forum will meet next Sunday, May 25, to perhaps elect officers and close until in September. Wait for the fine Allegorical play and program to be given by the Baptist Women's City Mission Thursday evening, June 26, at Metropolitan Temple. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH- REV. E. M. MOSELEY, Pastor. The members and friends of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church had a glorious service on the 18th. The Men's Bible Band met at 9 a. m. and had a good lesson. Come out and bring your Bible if you wish every Sunday at 9 a. m. and let us reason together on the Bible. You will be benefitted. The church services were opened on time and Mt. Olive, as usual, had a large-gathering for the morning service. The choir and deacon opened the services by good spiritual singing. The pastor introduced Rev. R. P. Wilson, who preached for us from text Matt. 16:17-18, "And Jesus Answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou Simon Bar-jone, for flesh and blood hath not revealed this unto thee but my Father, which is in Heaven; and I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Theme, "Stay in the Church." He placed great stress on the foundation and stability upon which Jesus began to build His church on earth and proved that it is the only safe place for mankind handed down from Heaven. The Holy Spirit blessed the meeting and all enjoyed his remarks. The B. Y. P. U. met at 5 o'clock and had a good program, a good attendance and an interesting lesson. The Mission Circle had a good program for Monday evening. The night services were spiritual also. The pastor preached. Text—Solomon Song, 2-9, "My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, showing himself through the lattice." Subject, "God Watches the Righteous." He placed great stress on the watchful care and love of Christ for the church, and the wonderful and mysterious way that God has brought the church from its beginning up to now, and how that he still watches the church. The Holy Spirit blessed the meeting and many sinners came forward for prayer, showing that they too were moved by his wonderful discourse. Two members were added to the church during the day. The contributions were good. The congregations were large. Our sick members are improving, pray for them. Our auxiliaries are moving rapidly on with church work. The funeral of Mrs. G. W. Malone, who departed this life Thursday, May 15, was held at the First A. M. E. Church Saturday, May 17, Dean Alexander Jones of Western University, officiating. Mrs. Malone and husband united with the First Church March 31, bringing with them a certificate of membership and recommending them highly to any congregation of Christian workers. They were assigned to Class No: 52 and were members of the Sunday School Bible Class No. 1. Resolutions from the officers and members of the church were read, extending to the husband, relatives and friends their deepest sympathy. Mrs. Malone was also a member of Stewardess Board No. 3, but was unable to meet them on account of illness. Peace be to her ashes. A reform edict has been issued that peek-a-boo waists no longer are to be worn in business by women. Men must concentrate more—on business affairs. It would be great if we could win as many prizes in science and in mechanical skill as we do in oratory.

E. A. SHACKELFORD, Attorney for Plaintiff. First published May 23, 1924. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE the church was increased from two to three. This was considered an advanced step. One of the hardest fought battles in the general conference was for secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, yet after much discussion, and many side meetings; when it went into the General Conference, Prof. Ira T. Bryant was re-elected over all, the opponents on the first ballot. Immediately on the election, Bishop Joshua H. Jones served notice that he would contest the election of Ira T. Bryant on the ground that too many ballots were cast, and the secretary had not received a majority. Bishop Williams D. Chappelle of South Carolina presided throughout the entire election, and he ruled that Bryant had been elected. When the time came, Bishop Jones withdrew his protest. Things moved along smoothly. The laymen presented Bishop Chappelle with a loving cup in token of their appreciation for his fairness in presiding. Bishop H. Blanton Parks was presented with a fine oil painted portrait of himself. There were many important bills presented and passed during the session. All services were well attended. Prof. John R. Hawkins won for himself a place in the hearts of his people. Bishop W. Sampson Brooks of West Africa raised $500 in twenty minutes for his work in Africa. Prof Aaron E. Malone played an important part in the general conference. He is one of the most active laymen in the connection and served on some of the most important committees. He introduced a measure making better provision of the old ministers, those who had devoted their lives to the work of the church often serving on starvation salaries, and when they had reached the place where they were no longer active then they were thrown away. He wanted the rural preacher to have better pay and when Prof. Malone made his talk, each word went right to the heart of the ministers. He is regarded as a safe leader among the laymen and has demonstrated his love for his church as well as his race. He made his committee work tell. There were many laymen active in the general conference, men who were present at every session, and did not spend any time in social affairs.

WALLAYING DANDRU SCALP TROUBLES. THE POPULAR REPUBLIC SANTAL MIDY BEST ALL-STAR CATARR OF BLADDER about Ira T. Bryant. Well, he was just as I told you, re-elected secretary of the Sunday School Union. He went in on the first ballots, and this is one of the things that happened. You see some of the bishops had decreed that he should die, so to speak. He was out of his place, and that he had said hard things about the bishops and the Lord knows what else. The time came for the election, and in order to see how the men voted, there was a green ballot gotten out by the anti-Bryant men. Ira T. Bryant is a sleepless fellow when it comes to work and he seems to have gotten hold of what was going on. He got out some of the same grade, color and kind of ballots, and this was unknown to the opposition. Those who were the most interested watched the green ballots go in, but they were sick when the tellers began to call green ballots for Bryant. He beat the field and Bishop Joshua H. Jones served notice that he would contest the election after Bishop Chappelle had declared him elected. The laymen presented Bishop Chappelle with a silver loving cup for his fair and impartial ruling, for they tried to get him to rule against Bryant. The next contest was for church extension and this was S. J. Johnson of Texas, J. T. Hall of Georgia and V. M. Townsend of Arkansas. It was just as I told you, for I told you the fight would be between Johnson and Hall, with Townsend a big following. Dr. Johnson, on the first and second ballot, went ahead fifty, and on the second ballot was within three votes of election. Dr. Townsend pulled down, and then before starting the third ballot, Dr. Hall went into the hearts of many men, when he stood on the table and said that Dr. Johnson had led him in two ballots and he therefore thanked those who had supported him, and withdraw, made a motion to have the secretary cast the unanimous ballot for Dr. S. J. Johnson, and Dr. Johnson was declared the winner. The Rev. Dr. G. W. Allen will edit the Southern Christian Recorder, although Dr. John Harmon made a close race for it. I predict that Dr. Harmon will be the successor to Dr. Allen, and you put this on the shelf. He has been a great man, and I am proud of Dr. Allen for he has given to his church some fine men. He had three sons in the general conference delegates. When have you seen anything to beat this? Two from Ohio and one from Boston. God bless them. Dr. J. D. Barksdale was retained as editor of the Western Christian Recorder, and the biggest surprise was that Dr. G. J. won the secretaryship of the A. M. E. Church Review. He is an able man and knows the business. Many of them were afraid of him and this I regret. I hope he will surprise them, just as his election was a surprise. The laymen will have more delegates in the next general conference. Bishop J. M. Conner, as I write this letter, is in critical condition. He was granted a year in which to rest and regain his health by the general conference. We hope that he will be able to return to health. The men are now making laws and getting ready for other big things. I will have to tell you more about the general conference next week. There were some strong men in the body and they will have something to say to you when they get home. Dr. S. J. Johnson will move his family to Washington, D. C., and I do not know all the other things that are going to happen. Do not let me bother you too much this week. As you read this letter I will be on the go again. I am going to St. Louis, then to Kansas City, and from there to Texas. I will be in Texas the first Sunday in June. I will go to see Dr. George B. Young in Dallas, who is indeed one more strong man. He let the work know that he was on the line of greatness, and that he knew something about this THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE busy world. He is well educated, and would have been elected, but other combinations were too strong for him, but they will go back and get him in 1928. The National Baptist Convention is at work and last Sunday the new home for the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist convention was brought to the notice of the country by the laying of the corner stone of the new building. The contractor declares that it will be ready for September and they are working and working hard, believe me, honey. It will be a great big feather. I will not tell you all I have in mind this week, but something is going to drop after September next. I do not know just what it will be, but it will be something. The National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress will meet June 18 in Cleveland, Ohio, and I hope you have planned to be there. It is going to be a great big meeting and I am proud to tell you this. I will say more next week. I had a fine letter from Secretary H. K. Hill, D. D., of Florida, talking about this great big meeting. It will follow the Republican National Convention. Charles Stewart has moved from 5922 Aberdeen street to 4823 Calumet avenue. I am told that he has purchased an apartment house, but I do not know about this. J. O. MIDNIGHT. If Methuselah had not been a drinking man he might have lived to a ripe old age.
