MIDNIGHT PAYS TRIBUTE TO BISHOP LEVI J. COPPIN The Virginia Baptist State Convention Organized 57 Years Ago Lynchburg, Virginia, July 3.—Another great man has fallen—no he has simply gone to his eternal rest, and this time it is Bishop Levi J. Coppin, of Philadelphia, who was assigned to the 4th Episcopal district in May, but before he could hold another conference, the death angel called him home. This happened on June 25th. One by one we are passing out, and now who will be next. Some other men who were in Louisville will never attend another general conference, but then that is the Lord's doing and we cannot stop it, but just thank God and continue the work. No man must stop to wait for death, but just continue to work. Of course, I remember Bishop Coppin. I know when he was Dr. Coppin, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, then Dr. Coppin, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, and then in 1900 when he was made Bishop Coppin. He is the last in his class. He has worked hard and left a record here worthy of emulation. He was a great man, and I pause here to pay a tribute to him and extend sympathy to the widow and daughter. When I wrote you last I was in Cleveland, Ohio, and it was a real pleasure to be there, because I met many of the old friends and found them ready to do anything in their power for me while I was in their city. Some from this place and some from that place and some from the other place. Dr. Wise, who used to be down in Texas made a battle with the bugs for me, and said that it was a pleasure for him to do so and refused to take any money. "We owe it to our race, to you and to ourselves to try to keep on earth a man like you," he said to me, "and while here if you need professional service, medicine, automobile ride or anything else, you have only to call on me." It was Sunday night and I went down to the stable, or at least Dr. E. J. Gregg, who used to be down in Alabama, got his automobile car carriage came to the church, got me, toted me over to his home, to the home of Mrs. Suggs, and then when he got through toted me down to the stable where the bed car carriage was awaiting me and my bed was ready, and honey I went to bed, and slept almost to Cincinnati. I got to Cincinnati, met the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jorddon, who had me to go out in the street with him, and then I left for Newport News, or for Clifton Forge, Va., reaching there about 9 o'clock at night, I spent the night and next morning made it over here. It's just like you to want to know what I am doing here. Fifty-seven years ago the Virginia Baptist state convention was organized, and they are holding here this week what they call a Sabbatical celebration or jubilee, and I never heard of such a thing, and I came along here to see about it, to hear and learn something. All the state organizations of the Baptists are here, such as the convention, the Baptist Women's Convention, the Sunday School convention and the B. Y. P. U. convention. All of these are right here, and they are holding their sessions on Seminary Hill, or in other words at the Virginia Theological Seminary and college, the institution owned and operated by the convention—the institution that is making men, for it is indeed a man-making machine. I have been associating with culture and brains this week. Just think of it, some of them people called me a smart man, and I have felt my head growing, and honey if I get the big head then they will have to treat me like they, treat a horse when he gets the enlargement of the head, kill me. You will get an idea just how I feel and how much of the spirit I have in me, and why my head should swell. Pray for me please. When I got to town, I found a jubilee committee there to meet me, and I was escorted to the mansion of (Continued on page 4.)

Nichols of Junction City, is visiting her daughters, Mrs. L. R. Taylor, 1147 Barnett avenue and her daughter on the Missouri side. Mrs. M. E. Scott of Richmond, Cal., is visiting her cousin, Mrs. W. M. Blount, 402 Lafayette avenue. Mrs. Scott was formerly of Texas. She will visit her cousin for two weeks. Dr. W. M. Blount was called last Saturday to Shrevesport, La., on the account of the death of his oldest brother. He returned Wednesday. Mrs. Blount buried her sister in Texas only a short time ago. Miss Valena Brooks, daughter of Rev. C. E. Brooks, arrived last Saturday evening from New Orleans and will visit here for some time. Gentle little four-year-old Jane is a model child as a rule, but now and then she "allips up." She has been forbidden to take a spoonful of sugar out of the sugar bowl and eat it as children are apt to do. One day the temptation was too strong, and while her mother's back was turned she helped herself to some sugar. Her mother turned around, shocked and indignant. "Why, Jane, whatever made you do that?" "But, honey, I didn't know you were going to turn round," was the gentle answer—Exchange. "Half a ton of blood flows through your heart over hour," says Doctor Henderson, lecturing at Harvard Medical school. This is a terrific amount of work for a delicate pump. It is obvious that life can be prolonged and health improved by getting plenty of sleep and lying down for 20 minutes or so in mid-day and early evening. When standing, our hearts pump blood the full height of the body. When reclining, strain is taken off the pump, blood flows like water through horizontal pipes.—New Orleans States. MRS. M. C.

Owens of this city, delivered a most wonderful sermon. It was greatly enjoyed by his large and appreciative audience. Rev. Owens is a young man, but a power in the pulpit. Some came forward and joined the church at the close of the sermon. The pastor, Rev. C. E Brooks, filled his pulpit at the evening service and preached a short, spicy sermon, to the delight of his hearers. The Sunday school had its fine attendance of scholars, with a number of new scholars reported. Rev. J. C. C. Owens, presiding elder of the Parsons district, worshipped at First church at the morning service. Many of the class leaders and members went to Tonganoxie Sunday to Rev. Gillispie's basket meeting. While the attendance at the class meetings are not so large, they are exceedingly spiritual. Those present each week leave full of the Holy Ghost. Come out Sunday and hear a sermon of gospel truths. Both of the choirs have a few that seem to be taking a vacation this month. Come back soon as you get through, as the congregation misses your sweet voices. Rev. E. M. Moseley, Pastor. The members and friends of Mt. Olive assembled early for religious worship. The Sunday School and Bible Band had a good meeting. Come to the Bible Band every Sunday morning at 9 a. m.

The night services were also well attended. The pastor preached a good sermon on the Acts of the Apostles in starting the first church. He preached a soul-stirring sermon and had a large congregation. The contributions were good. The sick are better at this writing. Come to church, join some of the club, help them. You are welcome.

"Heathen" Ther are no more "heathen" in the world, according to a ruling made at the headquarters of the Salvation army in Chicago. It was decided that "heathen" is too rude a name to apply to nations which have civilizations older than the Christian religion. Henceforth such people will be called "non-Christian." --- --- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Bonner Springs, Kansas July 4th There Will Be a Barbecue and Picnic At Grant's Park ALL DAY Republican Rally GOOD SPEAKING Given Under the Auspices of St. Elizabeth Club Mrs. C. W. Basil, President Bell Wilson, Sec'y METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES God gave us a beautiful cool Sabbath Sunday June 29, and many attended services at Metropolitan Baptist church. Pastor Bronson invited Rev. Brown, a noted Evangelist, to preach at 11 a. m., and the audience was highly pleased with his sermon. He took his text from these words: "Trust in the Lord and do good, and thou shalt dwell in the land," and he certainly preached fine. He also showed how come civilized people dress in an unhealthy licentious manner and injure their minds craving after money and style. He is somewhat like "Billy" Sunday and preached one of the greatest sermons ever preached in this church. When the invitation was extended, some united with the church. At 8 p. m. our pastor asked Rev Wheeler to preach, and he made a short talk after the sermon. The officers had a special business meeting Monday night. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. had good Sunday services, and the B. Y. P. U. remembered Mrs. Dow and Mr. Reese with tokens. Next Sunday the Mission Circle will listen to Rev. C. E. Brooks preach at 3 p. m.

Puzzled Oriental Visting in Indianapolis recently was a man who had returned from an extended visit in the Orient, the Indianapolis News reports. With him was a Mohammedan servant. Manog's calm face remained expressionless and he had scarcely a word to say until the day of their departure. Then he said: "Master, if I may dare, why do you Christians boast of your great land and send your governors to prison? The little Christian girls expose their bodies to the casual passerby through thin clothes, and your youths are unforgivably rude. Is this because of too much freedom in your country? Or too much religion?" Manog is still waiting for his answer. Something Lacking Verification of this one may be obtained on applying to Park Superintendent C. L. Brock. A young lady recently arrived from a northern city, and who had never gone in much for zoology, was being shown through the Hermann park menagerie last week.

I. F. BRADLEY, JR., Atty. for Plaintiff. (First publication June 13, 1924.) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Days of the Georges In an old London inn known as the Sign of the Coffee Mill Mr. E. V. Lucas found a pair of scales on which during a century and a half many notable men were weighed. Ever since the year 1765 records of illustrious and also of regal ponderosity have been kept at the place, which is in St. James street. If you want to know how much Charles Lamb weighed in 1814, writes Mr. Lucas in the "Romance of Old London." I can tell you that when he was thirty-nine years old he turned the scale in his boots at one hundred and twenty-nine pounds, much more than I was expecting. But his boots may have been heavy. I discovered that Lord Byron, who we know was sensitive about his bulk, was weighed many times, first in 1806, when he was living at No. 8, only five doors away; then he weighed one hundred and ninety-four pounds in his boots. The realization must have distressed exceedingly one who lived in fear of embonpoint even to the extreme of drinking vinegar and generally mortifying the flesh. In 1811 in shoes only—he had got his weight down to one hundred and thirty-seven and a half pounds. Tom Moore seems similarly to have decreased, for in 1807 he was one hundred and forty-six pounds and in 1809 one hundred and twenty-five. Another famous man, one who also could have had no wish to lose his figure and who will go down in history as much for his insolent question as to the identity of the prince regent—"Who's your fat friend?"—as for his fastidiousness in ties, was Beau Brummell. In 1798 Brummell stood at one hundred and seventy-two pounds in boots, in 1811 at one hundred and ninety-two pounds in boots and frock, and in 1815 at one hundred and seventy-eight pounds in shoes. In 1816 the Beau had to fly from his creditors to Calais. None the less there is still one more entry, in 1822, suggesting that he was able to visit the scenes of his old triumphs again; and then he was one hundred and fifty-three pounds in boots. As for the "fat friend," later George IV, he evidently earned the epithet. In 1791 he weighed two hundred and forty-two pounds in boots, in 1798 two hundred and twenty-four pounds "after gout," in 1800 two hundred and forty-seven pounds in hat and boots, and later that year two hundred and twenty-nine pounds "after gout." In 1803 "with gout" he weighed two hundred and eighteen pounds. The figures help us to picture those solid men of a century ago. We can see them trotting or mincing or promenading with an alr, small and large, down the sunny side of St. James street to weigh themselves before dinner—Youth's Companion. Going Too Far Mike and his family are blessed with lively imaginations, which is a good thing, since, what with a large brood of children, doctors' bills and things, they are not able to indulge in many luxuries. "I saw a mighty fone sedan this afternoon, Nora," remarked Mike the other evening, "an I'm thinkin' I'll buy it next week. It's only $5,000!" "I'm thinkin' ye'll have to wait a couple o' weeks, Mike darlint, for the rlint's due nixt week." "I'm goin' to sit on the front seat with dad!" piped up young Denny. "No, sir, that's my place!" put in Terry, his twin, and in another moment they were deciding the question with their fists and feet. "Here, here!" cried Nora, seizing them by their collars and shaking them vigorously. "You young rough-necks will have that sedan all scuffed up, kicklin' around in it that way!" —Indianapolis Star. Demise Not Unexpected A little girl of Woodruff place was the owner of two goldfish, which were her most prized possessions. Several weeks ago she went out of town, but before leaving she intrusted her fish to the neighbor next door, who promised to look after them carefully. Unfortunately during the owner's absence, one of the fish died, much to the embarrassment of the neighbor. When the family returned and the little girl learned of the death of her pet, she could hardly keep from crying. "Well, I guess it couldn't be helped; one of them was looking awfully bad when I left," she said.—Detroit News. The Very Thing The man entered the store and looked around with a rather puzzled manner. "Is there something you wish?" a clerk asked. "Well—er—yes," the man replied. "I am—that is, I would like to get a book suitable for a man—er—about to get married." "Yes, sir," the clerk answered. "Here, Mr. Buford, show this gentleman some of our large-size pocket-books!" Not a Native Product The old lady in this colloquy from Punch is not the first to assume a knowledge that she did not have. "Have you ever tried Swedish massage, Mrs. Brown?" the squire's daughter inquired of the gardener's wife, who suffers with chronic rheumatism. "I have heard say it be very good for rheumatics, miss," was the reply. "but we don't grow it in these parts."—Youth's Companion. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, ....

MIDNIGHT {Continued from Pace 1.) President Robert C. Woods, one oi the greatest educators in this coun. try, saying nothing about race 01 color. He is a man every inch ot him, and I was surprised when | found that “Litle Me” was booked t: ‘stop with him. His wife received me just like she was receiving one o! them college presidents or professors or some other big man. Now then, ] tried to act wise and impress her thai I was some pumpkin, so when she made me welcome and to show mj appreciation I spoke in an unknow: tongue, for I said to her, “Thank. ibetus forerumi intoru yourumti hom. ibustus.” She looked wise and I think I must have looked otherwise, for ] do not know what I said, and I am sure that she did not understand, but she told me that her husband would talk with me. Stopping at the president's home | found Dr. and Mrs, T. J. King. Dr. King is president of the convention; Dr. and Mrs, J. C. Austin, and if you will remember Dr. Austin, is the great preacher from Pittsburg, and when he speaks the snakes tremble. He makes them old orators from way back yonder live again. He totes to Greece, Rome and all them other places. You would think of Demos- thenes, and some of the other ones. If Plato was an orator, he toted you in his age, and Julius some fellow, and I cannot begin to tell you the names of the other fellows. Austin had his son with him also, and he is a block from the old chip. Dr. A. A. Galvin, chairman of the executive board; Dr. Alexander Gordon, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the historian; and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, were at the same place. You can see that I have been in good company, and if { should shout it is none of your business for I have a right to shout when I can stop with all these noted men and women. Dr. L. K. Williams, was here and he stopped at the same place, as did Dr. J. E. Woods, and I would like to tell you something in this connection, but may not have the time. They had some big eats here, but I could not get on the outside of all them good things that just made the table groan so to speak I just looked wise and listened to them talk, and I got both wise and otherwise by - Base Ball — K:;, C.

I don’t know whether they found it out or not I am sure you remember Dr. L. K. Williams, he is one of the deepest thinkers in this race, and a leader of men. He is just leading the National Baptist convention, taking up just where Dr. E. C. Morris left off and not keeping it just where he left, but moving up peg after peg. Then he is not saying anything about other folks, but in his addresses he is sim- ply telling the thing as it was, and the people are hearing him. He is getting those who do not know told and he is opening their eyes, and as their eyes open they just fall right in line with the National Baptist con- vention. They are returning home. He tells the story of the publishing house, and the building being erected in Nashville to cost half-million dol- lars, will be owned, controlled and operated by the National Baptist con- vention. The Board of Control will be elected by the convention and not keep themselves in or out of office. He told all about the literature, the Theological Seminary which will be in the fall He told about the split in the ranks, and declared that it was not over a charter as many would have it be, for the charter was not adopted for a year after the good brethren had walked out and set up housekeeping for themselves It was because the Baptist or the convention had no say about the Publishing Board, and other things It was a great speech, and Virginia will be well represented in Nashville in Sep- tember. When Dr. Williams was through, Dr. J. C, Austin stepped on the gas, and it was going some. He told the story also, In the afternoon Dr. J. B. Woods of Danville, Ky., president of the Boyd convention, stepped forward. and stepped on the gas tank, declar- ing that his convention was the orig- inal Baptist convention and some other things. He made a good effort and thats all. Now coming back to the the Vir- ginia affairs. Just to think it cost the people, or the Baptists $106,000 to run their school last year, and they raised it, and they are proud of the work they have done. Dr. T. J. King is a wonderful presidng officer. His church placed on the table for the convention just $2,400, and Dr. R. C. Woods, president of the school, placed in the hands of the committee $3,420; Dr. W. F. Graham, of Philadelphia, because of the illness of his wife, could not be present but he sent-from himself and the Holy Trinity Baptist church $1,110; Dr. J. C. Austin planked down $1,010; the Rev. A.'L. James, of the First Baptist church, Roanoke, $1,000; R. H. Bowling, Bute Street Baptist church, Norfolk, $1,000; the Rev. Dr. Madison, $1,000; Dr. .W. W. Brown, brought from New York, or from his church, $500, and there were others, and the Pennsylvania Baptist convention, Dr. J. C. Austin, president, about $5,000. As a rule Baptist churches do not give so much for their work, but they do things this way in Virginia, and any number of churches put down five hundred dollars. That’s the way they do things in Virginia, and I would like to see the Baptists in other states follow. The Missionary and Educational con- vention of Texas is the next to fol- low. I have had a big time in Virginia, and now I am going to turn my at- tention to other parts of the world. You may expect to hear from me again. Look out for me. I will have some few things to say to you. Will you look and listen? Now comes the National Negro ‘Business League and the Chicago people are just going to put the big pot in the little one. Several of the old timers have cashed in, but some of the others will be there. I was to go to Boston, but I am too sick to make it. God bless you.. Write me when you can do so. J. O. MIDNIGHT. The class leaders and a number of members of First A. M. E. church went to Tonganoxie Sunday to a bas- ket meeting where in the afternoon a sermon, at 3 p. m., by Rev. J. T. Tay- lor a local preacher and class leader preached a fine sermon, the leaders took charge of the service and con- ducted a spiritual praise meeting. Plenty of good things to eat had been prepared by members of the church, all enjoyed the rich feast, Rev. J. W. Gillispie is the popular pastor of this church. A nice collection was lifted for this church and people.
