--- COL. J. O. LOOKS'IN ON B. Y.P. U. CONGRESS Largest In History of. Church Cleveland, Ohio, June 27.—Have you ever been to Cleveland, Ohio? I am here right now for the first time, and the Lord knows I am delighted with the trip, and I have much to inspire me to lift me up out of myself, and make me feel like I was just in another world. This is my first time in Cleveland, and I am here attending one of the greatest meetings that it has been my lot to attend since I have been in the world. I have been telling you about the wonderful Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress of the National Baptist Congress of the National Baptist convention, and now honey it has been pulled off and one of the outstanding conventions of the age. I don't know when I have seen so many educated men and women together. Young men, and old men, middle-aged men and betwixt and between men and women in ages to match They are here to do good and not on a grand excursion. They are workers for the Lord, and striving to reach the young "people" and prepare them for church work. Out of this number are to come, preachers, teachers, wives of preachers and every other line of trade, business and profession is to be found right here in this congress. I am glad that I have been to Cleveland and touched this meeting, for there was on just the week before in Cincinnati, and it was the side show, and if you have been to a circus you will remember that the side show always opened first and was followed by the big show and while the side show as in Cincinnati the big show, in shape of the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. congress is right here in this man's town, and if you believe me it is one big affair. I was right here Wednesday morning of last week when President Daniel W. Cannon, D. D., of Atlanta, called the Congress to order, and they had some more opening exercises. It was followed by the welcome addresses, and they were just fine. I wish you could have been here and heard the remarks of President Cannon. He made one more strong address, and I was delighted to hear him and to know just what was on his mind and heart. He said that he heard I had crossed over Jordan, and there was some weeping in his household. His wife and daughter had shed a few crocodile tears, and he himself shed some alligator tears, and then said "The Lord Himself hath taken him away, and I thank God for so doing." But I am not dead, but very much alive although I am a little cripple, and feel that I am on the ragged edge of the grave. But there is no time for such meditation, for this is a live meeting here and dealing with live questions. The Executive Board of the National Baptist convention met in connection with this big meeting, and they have been doing things in great big shape. Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist convention, was on hand, and he had something to say that was worthwhile. I am here to tell you that he is getting the Baptists of America in good shape, and it is hard to tell just where he will end. Little by little they are getting together without any particular ceremony. Baptists when they find that they are wrong they will get away from it, and get right, and that is just what is taking place now. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and all that part of the country was well represented, and then came large numbers from Ohio into the Congress like that woman who went to see Old man Solomon, they declared the "Half has not been told." They came, they saw and they returned home to return into the regular fold in the future. Prof. R. B. Hudson, secretary of the National Baptist convention, and many other big men and women were right on hand. I had the pleasure of seeing the Rev. Dr. McNeal, that great preacher from Kansas City, Kansas; Dr. Brown from the same city; Rev. Hays from Wichita, and you could see them big preachers from Missouri, and President A. L. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 Boone, of the Baptist Missionary and Educational convention of Texas, and he is some leader himself, and a twin to L. K. Williams. Dr. J. H. Branham, was here from Chicago, and Dr. E. P. Topp from Mississippi, and why should I name just a few of them and leave so many others out. But perhaps you want to know where I have been and what I have been doing. If you do then I will have to tell you leading up to this time. If you will remember when I wrote to you the last time I was making it in Texas, and when I got out of there I made my way direct to New Orleans, La., and I am sure that I told you that I saw Rev. B. G. Dawson of St. James A. M. E. church and I am not going to say any more about him. Well, I made it to Birmingham, and stopped over, had a long talk with Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, that wonderful woman who is doing so much, and I think I told you about me making it to Louisville and there I stopped. Well, from there I went over to see the Rev. Dr. S. E. Butler, of Indianapolis, spending a whole-day there with him and his people, delivering the message, and then off for Wilberforce. Reaching Xenia on Monday morning, I found Bishop John A. Gregg, right at the stable with his automobile car carriage waiting to tome me out to his house to be his guest. Now, just think of it, he is a bishop of the A. M. E. church, and there for his natural life if not otherwise ordered, yet he is still receiving his friends, toting the baggage just like he did when he was simply an ordinary preacher. For four years he has been the efficient president of Wilberforce University, and one of the best the institution has ever had or perhaps ever will have. You see he had a heluva time while there and when the general church told him to step up last May in Louisville, Ky., he just shouted out "Free at last, Thank God I am free at last." He acted like a man getting religion for the first time in his life. Well these things must happen I suppose. Now, he did not just because he was made bishop, trp to bishop away from the people but just a little closer to them. The (Continued on page 4.) MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. The members and friends of Mt. Olive Baptist church assembled and enjoyed a spiritual shower of God's blessings. The Sabbath School and Bible Band were well attended after which a good prayer service made way for a spiritual sermon. The pastor's text, Joshua 7, 7 "And Joshual said Alas! O Lord God, Wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan to deliver us unto the hands of the Amontis to destroy us? Would to God we had been content and dwelt on the other side of Jordan." Subject, "Hidden Evils Cause Discouragement and Retards the help most needed." He preached a wonderful sermon and proved that God will not fight our battles when we have hidden evils in our hearts. Sunday being the 4th Sabbath, we had a glorious speaking meeting Sunday evening. The night services were well attended and the pastor preached a good sermon. The various clubs made a grand report on Friday night, showing the Mt. Olive Baptist church is moving on successfully under the great leader and it can be well said by them "Never was a man led like this man." Mt. Olive is proud of her vigilant church workers in all departments, for God is helping them wonderfully. Let us all pray for their successes to continue. We have a large sick list, but they are all convalescing now. Our prayers are always for God's care and protection for them. Everybody is welcome to our services. Read the Advocate. B. Y. P. U.

He received a call from an Indianapolis merchant, who told him a check sent the company had been returned, marked, "no funds." Partly surprised, but more indignant, he replied that such could hardly be the case. He recalled to himself that his balance should have taken care of the check, with one or two dollars to spare. He spoke to the merchant as if his balance would take care of a dozen such trivialities. In an apologetic manner the merchant muttered something about banks always making mistakes, and assured the young man that the check would be sent back to the bank at once. At home that night the young man found out one thing and remembered another. First, he found that he had entered a deposit twice. His account was overdrawn. Then it dawned on him that he had mailed another check to a friend out of town and had remarked, in the letter accompanying the check: "Here's your new Easter hat—cash this if you can." The friend had cashed it. The moral is, be friendly to bankers—Indianapolis News. ANTIQUE DEALER GOT RUBENS FOR TRIFLE A Rubens valued at more than 1,000,000 francs has been discovered among 15 old canvases purchased for a few hundred francs by an antiquary at Roubaix, says the Petit Parisien correspondent there, according to the New York World. The pictures were inherited by a Roubaix man from his great uncle, Henri Robelin, auctioneer for the famous Drouet salesroom in Paris in the reign of Napoleon III. He thought them virtually valueless and stowed them away. Recently they were found in the attic and sold to M. Agre, antique dealer, for a trifle. One picture, 10 inches by 7, looked like a Rubena. Agre cleaned it and was astonished to find the signature of Rubens. Agre sent the picture, which represents sleeping Venus and a faun, to Professor Tuguyne of the Brussels Art school, an authority on Rubens, who pronounced it genuine beyond doubt.

Dunkards Increase On Christmas day, 1723, two persons were baptized in the icy waters of the river at Germantown, Pa. These were the first Dunkard converts in America, says the Detroit News. Since then the communion has grown to include over 100,000 persons. It was originally a cellabate order whose members ate meat only once a year and held property in common. These strict rules have been abated and now a Dunkard may even marry outside the faith and still hold membership in the church. They hold church property valued at $5,000,000. The states where they are strongest are Tennessee and Texas. To Express Relief After a short meeting a little singing was indulged in by some of the members of a social gathering, and halfway down the program the name of Bert Browne figured. When the time came for him to appear a messenger arrived to say that he was suffering from a bad cold, and therefore the chairman had to excuse him to the audience. "Ladies and gentlemen," said the chairman, "I have to announce that Mr. Brown will be unable to sing as announced, and, therefore Mr. Green THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES As usual a large number of people attended Metropolitan Baptist church, Sunday, June 22, 1924. Pastor Bronson preached one of his masterpiece sermons on "Loyalty to Christ and to the Church." In part he emphasized that christians must continue to be true to their church even if they think they don't care for the minister. It was a wonderful sermon, and highly appreciated by all. He was sanctioned by many fervent "Amens." At the close of the sermon, several joined, and one was a candidate for baptism. Professor Bridgeforth, dean of the Baptist college in Kansas City, Mo., was called on and made intelligent remarks. Dr. Braithwaite also talked well Mr. Wilhite was invited back next Sunday to talk. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. was fine as ever. At 8 p. m., Mr. Fitchue, one of our finest singers, acted musical director for the audience and Professor ..... for the choir, which made the singing very good and interesting. Pastor Bronson preached another fine sermon and enthused the congregation again. A beautiful spectacle was the baptizing of a little girl in the glass Baptistry. All were glad to see Dr. Bronson able to preach after his throat operation. He wanted to sing with the Publicity Committee this Thursday, but she told him, "to speak on the Mission program was enough strain on his throat." Next Sunday, June 29, more great sermons will be preached, so come to church and hear them. We regret that Mrs. A. S. Dow, one of our best church workers, had an operation performed Wednesday. We pray for it to be a success. Mr. Reese, another fine church worker, has pneumonia, but seemed better Tuesday. Mrs. Carrie Brown, of San Bernardino, Calif., attended Metropolitan at both services Sunday. There are many good women workers in Metropolitan, but some will help some women more than they will help others. Mrs. Francis Watson, our international Missionary from Africa, will speak at Metropolitan church July 10. All should hear her. The Sewing Circle has fine dinners every Friday.

If the courts would only get speed manla, what then? One may judge a man by his hair —or his haircut. Even those who don't know how to boss like to. Among the main things in a city are those connected with the water works. those connected with the water works. It sometimes happens that after gaining a foothold a man is unable to make a headway. Once a man wrote a book on "How to Get Rich" who had actually done it himself. When a man combines business with pleasure business usually gets the short end of it. Some girls who think they can sing ought to patronize a correspondence school of thought. Almost any one can be a power for evil—but it takes a man among men to be a power for good. When a man attempts to interfere with the affairs of a woman the best he can get is the worst of it. Unfortunate Man "Pussyfoot" Johnson told on the SS. George Washington a story about an ugly man. "This poor fellow," he said, "was calling on a lady one Sunday afternoon when the little daughter of the house was brought in by her nurse. The little girl, as soon as she was introduced to the unfortunate caller, said: "Hiss for shame! I seen you at the zoo yesterday without your clothes on!"—Detroit Free Press.

Youth May Well Spare Thought for the Old Courtesy is not only a matter of speech; we may observe the forms of politeness in what we say and yet miss its essence, perhaps because we are not willing to listen to others. For instance, when old people are speaking the majority of us are frankly impatient. Grandpa perhaps is about to launch an anecdote. It may be as ancient as the hills—it probably is, but that is no reason for our scarcely concealed boredom. If we were truly courteous we would listen with a good grace, as though we really were interested. But youth, nowadays, seldom stops to consider other people's feelings; and sometimes the old folk—and middle-aged folk, too, for that matter—are hardly allowed even a share in conversation, observes London Answers. If they do attempt to take part in the talk some one says: "Oh, please spare us that story—it's so ancient." Whereupon aunt or grannie lapses into a hurt silence, while the young people prattle merrily on. More pain than one would imagine is given by remarks of this kind, for by such means those older than ourselves are made to feel their age, to realize that they are "out of things." Willing or unwilling, the old are thus relegated to the background, and the knowledge that they are superfluous hurts. For, dull as we may think them in some ways, they are not slow to discover when they are not wanted. The other day, in a boarding house, an old lady of eighty-four, who was all alone, said, rather wistfully: "You see the old people don't matter." Can we not make the old feel that they are wanted—can we not try to make old age a time of happy and peaceful waiting for the end which comes so very soon? This would be showing true courtesy and, perhaps, it would not be so very boring after all. For those older than ourselves have a wider store of experience than our own and some of them, at least, can talk very charmingly of what they have seen and the people whom they have met.

(First publication June 13, 1924.) --- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Chemists Find Way to Utilize "Waste" Hops A new microbe has been discovered whereby 10,000 tons of waste hops can be made to yield annually half. a million gallons of alcohol suitable for motor spirits. It is a British discovery and another proof of the value of chemical research. PUBLICATION NO. In the District Court of County, Kansas Susie Turner, a minor, b friend, Ollie Austin, N vs. Wesley Turner, Defendant To Wesley Turner, Defend This will notify you that Until two chemists made this discovery, brewers paid large sums every year for the carting away of their "waste" hops. Now not only can motor spirits be extracted from this so-called waste, but a further result is the manufacture of acetic acid, essential in many industries, according to London Tit-Bits. This useful microbe develops so much heat by its evolution that it kills all antagonistic germs and greatly stimulates the process of fermentation. Apart from motor spirits, 15,000 cubic feet of gas, suitable for internal combustion engines, is also rendered available by the process and the whole discovery has aroused keen interest in the chemical and commercial world. Editor Had Underrated A young magazine editor of New York took a trip to California and happened in upon Hollywood. He was invited to a motion-picture party and decided to put off his usual reserve and difidence and enter fully into the spirit of the occasion. He devoted his attention throughout the evening to a young film actress. "I will be wild," he determined. "I will be rowdy. I will behave with all the abandon for which Hollywood is famous." He did his best, but suddenly, as he was playing the role to the limit of his capacity, the young woman broke down and went. The editor asked the cause of her distress, and with tears in her eyes she looked up and said: "I've been here almost a year now, and you're the first fellow that's acted to me like a gentleman."—Heywood Broun in the New York World. WISDOM WHISPERS Learn the luxury of doing good.— Goldsmith. Humility is a virtue that hobbles about on crutches. The quickest generosity is the best.— Arabian Proverb. "The tongue is the neck's worst enemy."—Arabian Proverb. The heaviest rains fall on the leaky house.—Proverbs of Japan. God bless him who pays visits and short visits.—Arabian Proverb. Sometimes an otherwise clean record is soiled by contact with filthy lucre. Go ahead and do the best you can and don't worry about the consequences. Men are taught virtue and a love of independence by living in the country. Meander. Great men do not seem to illuminate the world until the generations following them. Don't attempt to buy up the man who has his price unless you have the world's money cornered. Looked Like a Lot A dear old lady, says the Tatler, was spending a holiday at Southampton and with some friends was being shown over one of the big transatlantic liners just before its departure "What's that down there?" she inquired of the captain. "That's the steerage, madam," he replied. "Dear me," she exclaimed in astonishment, "and does it really take all those people to make the boat go straight?" Almost as Important Bishop Kinsolving of Virginia had two sons who were bishops. One of them, George Kinsolving, was the bishop of Texas. With his clerical attire, the Texas bishop affected the large sombrero hat. A small boy, meeting him on the street one day in Richmond, stopped him eagerly, inquiring: "Are you Buffalo Bill?" "No, sonny," replied the bishop. "I'm Texas George." Expensive Good A matter of fact father of an embryo poet handed some of the lad's efforts to a distinguished author of verse, and asked for his opinion. "Well, what's the answer?" queried the successful stockman. "Alas!" sighed the real poet. "Those things are so good, I'm afraid you'll have to support Henry the rest of his life."—Writer's Monthly. Tit for Tat Mrs. Crawford—Did you succeed in getting an extra allowance? Mrs. Crabshaw—Not exactly, but my husband says he's willing to give me a bonus providing I show him how he is to raise the money.—Chicago Journal.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked her presently. He knew he had to say something. It seemed expected of him. She blushed and moved uneasily in her chair. "Never mind!" she at last answered, sharply. "It's your business to propose, not mine!"—Minneapolis Tribune. Refined Cruelty The colored maid of a doctor's family was visiting the maid next door.

It would be a mistake, however, to imagine that it is a new thing to start at the foot of the social ladder and climb to the top. Ben Jonson, poet and scholar, whose epitaph, "O Rare Ben Jonson!" is one of the curiosities of Westminster abbey, worked at the building of Lincoln's inn, with a book in his pocket and a trowel in his hand. Then George Stephenson began his career in a coal pit, while John Bunyan was originally a tinker. James Hogg, the Scottish poet, was a shepherd in Ettrick forest and the immortal Burns followed the plow, Ople, the great painter, who lived to have nobles waiting their turn in his studio, was apprenticed to a carpenter in his boyhood. Ideas Seldom Evolved by "Pencil Thinkers" "How do you know he is trying to think?" "I know he is trying to think because he is sucking his pencil." "No. He probably doesn't think about it at all. It is just a nasty and dangerous habit." "Why is it a dangerous habit?" "Because somebody with a disease may also have been trying to suck ideas out of the same pencil." "I never thought of that." "Yes. It's not thinking which causes many accidents, much suffering and many deaths. Whenever you see a pencil with tooth-marks on the end you will know that it has been used by somebody who doesn't think." —The Nation's Health.

He made a great report of his work at the institution, and when he was through making his report offered his resignation as president, and thanked the trustees for the honor. He had some important things to say. Now he has retired and his next work will be to visit this country, raise some money for his work in South Africa and in due time will sail, for South Africa, his field of labor for the next four years, and you will note that I say for the next four years. That is exactly what I intend to do for at the close of the four years he will be assigned to work right here in America. Bishop Gregg turned over the institution to the trustees in as good a shape as he was permitted to do so. He had in many respects been the figurehead, but then I am not here to discuss that, but to remind you that Prof. Gilbert Jones, the scholar, the son of his father, the man of letters, was elected successor to Bishop Gregg, and he is now the president of Wilberforce, and I am sure that Bishop Joshua H. Jones will give him full support and it is then that things will happen. Of course there were many who did not desire to see him elected, but he has been elected. I am sure that he will have full support of Bishop Joshua H. Jones, for father will be interested in son, and then father has educated son for this date and age. I wish him well and I shall be delighted to tell you about him from time to time. From Wilberforce I made it across the country, being toted over there in the automobile car carriage by Prof. Charles S. Smith, the head of the business department. Professor Smith did not tote me himself but he had it done, and honey it was one more delightful ride. I was there in time to catch the special from down home. Only one day carriage and all the others were bed cars. I tell you them people came into this town in style, and while I did not get in one of the beds I came in with them, and that made me one of the big men. They were in for it, and I was one of the boys. I had much to say and much to do with the crowd. I was right Charley on the spot. I tell you they have a big church for meeting but there was a little lack of brooms, but I am not going to tell you about it, because I consider that it is none of your business and I think you should attend to your own affairs. I will not be able to tell you so much about Cleveland, but it is one of the cities of Ohio, and I admire it. I like to see it and to know that things are being carried on in good style. I am not able to tell you all the things I have in mind, but I am now getting ready to fore other big meetings. I have been real sick here, but I report to you that I am better. Them bugs are fighting after me again, but I am going to fight with them a little longer before I give up. I am going to conquer them or they will get my goat. Some getting will have to be done. After having some experience with a preacher, whose religion was in a dollar, I then found my way to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Thomas. Mr. Thomas is one of the most noted men in this country, and he has tramped this country over. Now you talk about your singers, but here is Mr. Edwin S. Thomas, who is at the top in his class of singers. He is a bass or something like that. He has had the pleasure of singing before the cream of America and I am told also, of Europe. For a long time he was the bass soloist of Grace Episcopal church. This place he held for seven years, and was paid a nice salary for singing before them white folks. Glory be to God for such a man. Side by side with Mr. Thomas is that wonderful wife of his, who is an expert on the piano. She can just make that thing moan and groan and cough. She is fine. Now these two musicians, one the singer and the other the player, have a handsome home. I can see Mr. Thomas singing his way to it now. "Rock in the Cradle of the Deep," should be the name of his home, for that song has brought him more dollars with which he made the purchase than perhaps anything else. I would ride a thousand miles just to get to hear him sing that song one time. I was just at home. He is not only a singer, but honey he is some cook. I have eaten some of his cooking and I am able to leave the city. We have many able people, some of them are at the head of the class and will be there when the world comes to a stop. I will stop now. I will have something to tell you next week I hope. I feel that this is a wonderful world. J. O. MIDNIGHT. CITY MISSION. The Baptist Women's City Mission meets at Rev.
