Memories ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL NINETEENTH COMMENCEMENT About 2,500 people witnessed this fine program. Miss Winifred Anderson rendered a fine oration; also Miss Catherine Haines and Miss Thelma Robbins. Miss Myrtle Phelps rendered a difficult piano solo in C. Minor, but it remained for Miss Maudie Dillon to deliver her oration in the most excellent manner. She is a natural silver-tongued speaker and received an ovation. The girls' quarter was enceded and all the singing and music was good. Professor Hodge and his corps of teachers deserve praise for their work in trainingthese seventy-two graduates to begin life intelligently. All well thinking citizens congratulate all the graduates of May 22, 1924. HALL, WALKER AND GREEN FUNERAL HOME The Hall, Walker and Green Funeral Home, at 312 Washington boulevard, which has only been opened since February, has the finest suite of rooms and of modern equipment that is in the city. The building was formerly the old Douglass Hospital, having fourteen large rooms. The first floor has seven departments, the reception room in the front, then comes a nice chapel and then on this same floor are three slumber rooms, two for adults and the other for children. Nice single beds are in these rooms and after a body is properly taken care of, they rest them in these rooms, instead of the old way, on a board. All of these rooms are carpeted and everything about quite homelike. The second floor is furnished nicely where relatives of deceased who come to the city or friends who are to accompany the body out of the city can have rooms for the night or the time they have to stay. The show room is nicely arranged. This firm own their own funeral car and are equipped to take care of any size funeral with the best of service. Mr. Hall and Mr. Green are both experienced embalmers and with that temperament that fits them to go into a bereaved family and give comfort and consoling words. With the experience, equipment and service this firm is able to give, they soon should receive a nice patronage from the two Kansas Citys and the country around here. The funeral of Mrs. Nellie Locke was held Monday morning from Watkins Unertaking Parlor. Deceased was a useful young member of the Metropolitan Church and choir. Her remains were taken to Bonner Springs and buried in the family lot. All true people sympathize with the many relatives. Number 41 J. O. SATISFIED WITH ALL MEN ELECTED AT GENERAL CONFERENCE EXCEPT FOUR YEARS IS NOT LONG Chicago, Ill., May 29.—Here I am in the city of Chicago and at the new home of Charles Stewart. He has moved to 4823 Calumet avenue. I am delighted to be in his new quarters. He has just purchased a flat in the city of Chicago. But I am not here to talk about that, but to tell you a few things more about the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church which has shut up and the delegates who made up that twenty-seventh quadrennial session have all returned to their homes, and I suppose once more eating their regulars at home. This was indeed a remarkable session, and great impressions were made by the delegation, from all parts of the country, and then when you leave this country they were there from West Africa, South Africa and all other parts of America. Africans from Africa and Africans from America, all mingled together for nearly three weeks, and then adjourned their meeting and made it to their homes. It seems that the people will never get through talking about that remarkable business man, not only of that church, but of the country, Prof. John R. Hawkins, a layman, and the financial secretary of the connection. So well has Professor Hawkins conducted the affairs of his church until he had absolute charge of the business arrangements of the general conference, and his word was not questioned by any one. It has taken him a few years to make that place, but he has won it and it is his own. All the desks, typewriters and other things required by the church to transact the business, he had the renting and paying of them all, and then he paid all the other debts contracted by the church or the general conference commission. Before Professor Hawkins would pay just one little brownie cent, he would want to know what it was for, who authorized it, and then he had to have a receipt for it. He conducted the business of the church right up to now, and it is not surprising then that he should have the standing that he now has. He is a leader of men, and I am sure that his church is proud of him. The Rev. Dr. C. W. Abington, who developed the fact that he is one of the strongest men in his church. He is to be commended for the race he made in the general conference, single-handed and alone, but, honey, they knew he was in the race, although he did not get elected. But all of this is over now, and the men are preaching the word. Dr. John Gregg was one of the proudest men it has been my lot to see. He could certainly strut Miss Lizzie Strut. He was as proud as a peacock, and is now ready to march for South Africa next fall, a place where he has labored before, and they will be delighted to see him return to the country where he served in the educational work. He knows African and Africa knows him. He is well up and is doing some real fine work there. He will leave Wilberforce, bidding good-bye to Bishop Joshua H. Jones and telling him to come to heaven where they will meet and eat out of the very same dish, and eat with the same spoon. They are just like Siamese Twins. I love to see two men think so much of each other. No man rejoiced more over the election of Bishop Gregg than Bishop Jones. They had worked together for about four or five years. Side by side these two men will walk in the future, and I think you are going to see Bishop John A Gregg with the gavel in his hand, and holding up the arms of Jesus. Back to his native land, and from there will come a man that will make the world know that he lived and his inspiration and help will come direct- (Continued on page 4.) --- --- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor.

PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS OF WESTERN UNIVERSITY STARS IN "MERCHANT OF VENICE" On last Friday evening, at Sumner High school auditorium, a large and intelligent audience enjoyed and appreciated a very high class entertainment, the "Merchant of Venice," by Shakespeare. It was in five acts and strongly played by the public speaking class of Western University. All the characters played their part in some instances as stars, and as a whole, for such a heavy play, as this one, all deserve much credit. Each knew their parts well and played them with ease and gracefulness. The costumes were very good. The instructor, Professor Burton, should be proud of this class and the same compliment is due Professor Burton from the members of the public speaking class.

Wasted Words Johnson missed his train the other evening, so he went to have his hair cut. When he entered the barber's he was in a quarrelsome frame of mind. "Cut it without conversation," he growled, as he took his place in the chair. "Don't want any restorer, invigorator, eradicator, lotion, potion or anything else. I've read all about the Near East troubles, and don't interest myself in boxing, racing or football. As regards the weather—" Here a customer nudged Johnson's elbow. "You'll have to write it down on his slate, mister," he said, "if you want to tell him anything. He's deaf and dumb."—Philadelphia Inquirer. A Give-Away "Have a cigar on me," Cunningham remarked, holding out a cigar. "Don't care if I do," Burris accepted. "What's the occasion; are you running for office?" "No, not that," Cunningham denied. "I have a new baby at my house." "You don't say I Congratulations!" Burris exclaimed. Then, he paused to light his cigar. After a few puffs, he observed: "About the fourth child, I should say!"

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Many loyal people attended Metropolitan Baptist Church services Sunday, May 25. Paston Bronson interested them in a truthful gospel sermon which was greatly enjoyed. At 11 a. m. several united with the church. The Sunday School had a large attendance and at 6 p. m., the B. Y. P. U. had many present and a good program. At 8 p. m., Rev. Lovelace, a great mission worker from Arkansas, preached an intelligent and spiritual sermon. More joined the church. Pastor Bronson baptized several, which makes over twenty-six who have joined from the effects of the recent revival. That is fine work for such a short time. The collection for Sunday was over $170, if the writer makes no mistake. The B. Y. P. U. will have a banquet for all high school graduates, Junior High school pupils and grade school graduates at Metropolitan Temple, June 6. Next Sunday, June 1, the Lord's supper will be given. So come to Metropolitan sure Sunday, June 1 and hear fine instructive spiritual sermons by Dr. H. B. Bronson. CITY BRIEF'S AND IN SOCIETY A quilt contest will be given by the Metropolitan Sewing Circle at their church, June 13. Mrs. M. Jennings has moved to her home at 1015 Nebraska avenue. The Baptist Women's City Mission gave an allegorial play and fine program at Metropolitan Temple Thursday, June 26. Mrs. Pickens is in Hutchinson this week decorating her mother's grave.

Simms was in Kansas City, Kas., Monday and left Tuesday for Pueblo, Colo., to beautify his mother's grave. Mrs. Lollie Simpson, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. J. McClelland, left for California to visit her daughter, whose husband is sick. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH REV. E. M. MOSELEY, Pastor. The members and friends of Mt. Olive Church gathered again for service for God. The Men's Bible Band and Sunday School were well represented and had an instructive lesson from which many were benefitted and we invite more men and friends who love God's word to come out every Sunday at 9 a. m. and let us reason together on the teachings of the Bible. The pastor preached from the text Acts 5, 29, "Then Peter and the other Apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." Theme, "Do What God Says Do and You Receive a Crown of Righteousness." He made great stress on the obedience of the apostles to God's word in laying the foundation of the church, and in the midst of its hardest oppressors, and how firm God's everlasting word stood by the church and brought it up to where it is today. His discourse was so impressive until his hearers rejoiced while he talked with them by the way. This being our speaking meeting day, our pastor did not take away from his people their right to testify for Jesus, so closed the meeting with honor and glory to God. The spirit was in the meeting. The pastor's remarks on Jesus' death and resurrection stirred up his hearers and connected their spiritual service with the Holy Spirit and we had a glorious meeting. The B. Y. P. U. had a good session. Many of our sick members are now up and doing well. Our prayers for those who are still sick. The contributions were good. Our church members and friends will visit Rev. Sutton's members and friends Wednesday night. The clubs met and are getting back on foot again. Help them. Come out and help us give praise to God. An interesting discovery by Alexander J. Wall, librarian of the New York Historical society, has added information to the history of the General Wolfe monument which, several years before the Revolution, stood in New York. The road leading to the monument was known as Monument Lane and thus appears on the Ratzer map of the city of 1766-67. On the "Plan of the City of New York & Its Environs," surveyed in 1766 by the British engineer, Capt. John Montressor, the monument is indicated on the estate of Oliver Delancey. The road leading to it is styled "Road to the Obelisk," and near the site of the monument is the inscription, "Obellisk Erected to the Memory of General Wolfe & Others." The monument disappeared and the conditions which caused its destruction have never been known. Students of old New York, including Dr. Edward Hagaman Hall, secretary of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation society, after long research, have generally agreed that General Oliver Delancey, who took the side of the king at the outbreak of the Revolution, caused the monument to be demolished when his property was confiscated. The recent discovery by Mr. Wall of a notice in the Middlesex Journal and Evening Advertiser of England, October 17, 1776, apparently establishes the fact that William Alexander, popularly known as Lord Stirling, and one of the prominent officers in the American cause, erected the monument to the conqueror of Quebec in 1759.—New York Times. San Antonio Plans to House 250,000 Bats Only three species of bats—the silver head, the hoardy and the red—are common all over North America. All three of the species are migratory, and they are easily able to fly across oceans. Bats are as valuable to humans as insectivorous birds. They are especially important in keeping in check nocturnal insects, particularly disease carriers. Dr. A. C. Campbell of San Antonio, Tex., found that 80 per cent of the food of bats in that vicinity consisted of malarial mosquitoes. He advocated erecting bat roosts in all parts of the country where mosquitoes are pestiferous. San Antonio responded by erecting a roost and protecting bats by law. The bat catches and eats the most malevolent of insects, in the malaria mosquito, and then, as if to punish it for its malignity, converts the insoluble parts of its little body into the highest of all fertilizers, guano. The bat roost at San Antonio will house 250,000 of these creatures, and in the vicinity of San Antonio they are active about nine months in the year. When it is considered that guano is worth about $50 a ton, the commercial value of the amount which may be collected from one of these roosts in a single year is easily estimated.—London Tit-Bits. A Fool and His Hair "It doesn't take me two minutes in the morning to do my hair," said Sparrowby. "So I should imagine," retorted Reno. "Isn't there a proverb, 'A fool and his hair are soon parted'?" "Marrying isn't in my line. I dislike the idea of wives about a house; they accumulate dust."—"The Square Egg," by H. H. Munro.

My lies were always plausible, quick, ready and well received. I was happy, content and single. But all this is changed now. I met a girl who took what she said was only a friendly interest in me. She asked me to give up lying. She pleaded with me so prettily and with such evident desire to make me a perfect expounder of truth that I promised her I would lie no more. Having given my promise I kept it. One day the girl came to me with downcast face, she glanced at me shyly from beneath half-closed lids. A little blush played about her dimpled cheeks. She told me she was going to be married. I extended my hand. I congratulated her, whole-heartedly and truthfully. I was glad. I told her I would give her anything she wanted for a wedding gift. "You have only to speak," I said, "and it is yours!" "Remember," she said, "nothing but the truth!" "The truth always," I replied. "Name the wedding gift and it is yours." Shyly her little hand sought mine. "You!" she whispered. Confound it! I never thought of that! But what could I do?—W. M. Sanford in Judge. Historical Novelties Exhibited in London Although exhibited in a massive building in one of the busiest parts of London, a wonderful collection of historical novelties is very rarely looked at by Londoners. This collection is in the museum of the public record office, Chancery lane. In this museum one may see the famous Domesday book, which contains information about the estates of landowners recorded by order of William the Conqueror for fiscal purposes. American visitors to London always make a point of seeing it, as also do provincial visitors—but very few Londoners take the trouble to view it. There are dozens of letters—humorous, quaint, angry and dramatic—written by kings and queens of history, to be read by anyone who walks into the museum. And no fee is demanded. Queen Elizabeth was in the habit of reproducing her fits of temper with astonishing vividness in her letters. Just a Suggestion It was late at night and they were both tired and anxious to reach their destination, still the feminine half was a little worried at the speed they were traveling. "Do you think it's safe to speed quite so much?" she asked. "Sure," was the response, "when one knows, as I do, every inch of the road. I could go over this stretch with my eyes shut." Just then they lit a badly filled-in trench which had been opened only that morning and both front shoes blew out. It took them over half an hour to change them, and during the whole operation the feminine half made no comment. But when they were both back in the car she said coyly: "Perhaps it would be better if you drove blindfolded the rest of the way. We haven't another spare left." Pickups To be strong, in a tight situation, it helps much for people to believe you are. Self-exposure of mental shallowness is usually done quite artlessly. It always seems that if enough people enjoyed grand opera, it would be easier to pay for it. Men all believe in equality of opportunity, but too many believe in equality of results. It's astonishing how many things come our way that we don't care for. Some people are known by their intentions and others by their works. Be sure the gun is loaded before attempting to teach the young idea how to shoot. Knowing what to do and not being allowed to do it, is one of the thorns along the pathway. There is possibly no exhilaration in being great. Those who are, can't help it. What. Indeed! Jim Shelton, prominent Houston insurance man, is sponsor for this one: Jim overheard an insurance agent trying to convince a prospective customer of the merits in life insurance. He kept right at him. At one stage of the battle, the agent used this argument: "Why," he said. "insurance is the greatest thing in the world. No man should be without it. I even carry a $50,000 policy, payable to my wife." "It's too much," said the harassed prospect. "What excuse can you give her for living?"—Houston Post. Obedient Wife—Just put this parcel under your arm, Lancelot. "I am never comfortable in his company." "What's the trouble? He's a delightful conversationalist." "I know that, but he always makes me feel so small and insignificant." "In what way?" "He's always mentioning some old book which he knows I haven't read." ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE.

Gregg, filled with the Holy Ghost. We rejoice that he is a part of this race of ours. I could just tell you so much about the men. Bishop Abraham Lincoln Gaines, and Reverdy Cassius Ransom, and they are two strong men. But I am not here to tell you about these three men, but to say that they won their places, and some would like to have remained here longer. You know that Dr. G. J. Robinson got elected to edit the A. M. E. Church Review, and when he was selected, and told the newspaper men to publish it that he had never been to school a day in his life, yet he was elected to edit one of the greatest magazines—no, the greatest. It would look nice in print that the A. M. E. Church, having taken a stand against ignorance and illiteracy, had rewarded an ignoramus. How odd that looks in a newspaper? Dr. Robinson should be putting out his ability as a scholar. Such is life in this world. He had better give to the people thought, and win on that and not on a lot of nameless words. Be something, and act something and live something. I would have Dr. Robinson tell the world that he is a college graduate from Swamp University, and that he has won by his scholarship and not by his ignorance, illiteracy and schemes. Manhood and manhood thought at that must control in this world in the future. I wish you could have seen some of the strong editors here, but here and there some numb-skull would beat them to it. Editor Thomas Kennedy published to the world that someone had lifted his pocketbook and just as the students of Wilberforce were about to buy another one, Bishop Gregg stepped out of the rank of elder and became a bishop. But he put it out that the fellow with light fingers had gone in his pocket and lifted his watch, and he was then crying. This editor left his watch under the pillow where he slept, that some one would help himself. He had his watch and has it now. Cupid's arrow has struck the bull's eye on his heart, and soon she will be stepping to the tune produced by some great getting together married person, and the whole of Kentucky will be proud of him. I got back and looked around to see them close, and they did close and I am still looking around, for this is the most lookingest aroundest place in all the world. I am sure that Editor William H. Steward is proud of this young woman, and two others who are making their contributions to civilization. The next big thing that I know anything about is the National Baptist Sunday School and Baptist Young People's Union. It is a place which will fit the man, and he will fit the place. Both were made to order for each other. This meeting will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, June 18, but before this there will be another big meeting in Cleveland, June 10, and thousands of men and women will be there from all parts of the world. It will start the political ball to rolling, and before it is through rolling some one will be crushed into almost powder. He is some talker. The convention I have in mind will no doubt nominate President to the position of President of the United States, and the people are just as sure to elect him as I am writing to you this week. She is indeed in the thinking class, and you will agree with me when the convention is over. The National Republican Convention will meet there to go into the condition of our country, and then to name Bishops Gaines, Brooks and Gregg, and they will go back and stand Professor Crews up at the next few minutes. I have not said all I would like to say, for I have not told you about the laying of the corner stone for the publishing house of the Baptists of this country. They are real happy THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Club people, for when they get through it will belong to the people. It will not be a one man horse, but many men will be found in his office helping to get out the American Baptists, and at the same time sending it out. Such is life. Speaking of Baptists, I suppose you heard about laying the corner stone for their big publishing house in Nashville, which is to soon be completed at a cost of over $350,000, and then they will shine. It is only a question of time when the Baptists will once more be in one big convention, and it is going to be done by absorption. Put it down that I told you so. They fight like demons, and then they will destroy anyone who will get in their way. I have all this before me, but now is the time that I must bring this letter to a stop. God bless you. I am now headed for Texas. J. O. MIDNIGHT. For the Best Hair Grower on the Market See Mrs. M. A. Turner, 1244 Ann Avenue, K. C., K. Grower, 50c. Pressing Oil, 35c Special Grower, 65c.

He is rich enough who owes nothing. Common sense's most used word is "No." Great is the power of antiquity and custom. Don't expect other people to be too unselfish.
