HEAR BISHOP N. C. CLEAVES SUNDAY,11 A.M. AT C.M.E. CHURCH KANSAS Vol. XI BAPTISTS CLOSE SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION J. O. Sees a Great Future For Church Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 19.—I told you last week that they were going to have some convention, and you may put it down that all I told you and even more has happened and it doth not yet appear all it shall be, but I am as happy as can be and I have been shouting all over the streets of Nashville, singing the praises of God who in His divine wisdom hath directed us. I took the time to write you a few lines from Washington last, and perhaps you will want to know just how I got from Washington to this place, and if I can get in my mind that it is any of your business, then of course I will tell you and if not I will just say attend to your business. I spent a few days around and about Washington with the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, for the Lot Carey convention was in session there, but it was Monday when we got together, for this part of the world. But I went over to Baltimore Sunday evening and had the pleasure of being in Trinity A. M. E. church with the Rev. Dr. W. H. Thomas, the new pastor, and who will serve there four years, and be then elevated to the episcopal bench in the African Methodist Episcopal church. Bright and early Monday I got up and feeling that head disease coming on me, I went to see Dr. A. M. Curtis, and you know what a physician he is. He shot something in that head and it has been "having" itself ever since. I returned to the house, and then to the stable where they were getting in line to make the trip to Nashville. They had arranged for three bed cars, and there was a whole bed in one for me, hence I fell right in line with the rest of them. Rev. W. H. Jernagin has in charge of two of them bed cars and the fellows who had decided to fight him to some extent, occupied the other. I would like to name some of the people who were there, but will not be able to do that this time, but you may expect me to do so later. Look out for me and hear all I may have to say, for I am coming down the line. It was 1:45 when them big fellows began to grunt, moving us out of Washington, and believe me when I tell you that the Chesapeake & Ohio has some of the most gruntingest horses in the world, and I don't mind telling you so. They grunted and snorted and puffed and groaned like they were having all kinds of pains. We rode and rode, and the man came through asking if we wanted to go in the eating car and have something to eat, but we did not. There were plenty of lunches. Lunches to spare, and I was just loaded down with fruit and other good things. Put it down that I told you that many of them went in and had breakfast the next morning. It was some eats believe me. I did not go in myself, for I still had fruit and chicken. I was glad to see how the others did eat coming down through Kentucky. We reached Louisville about 11:30 Tuesday and found it looked like all Kentucky was at the stable to meet us. They had many automobile car carriages and a committee consisting of the Baptist preachers, at least some of them awaiting to tote us to the Green Street Baptist church, where Dr. H. W. Jones and his good people had prepared one more dinner for the whole delegation. I don't know as I have seen such willing hands to serve so much chicken, ham, salad, potatoes, ice cream and cake, fruit and some other eats I do not remember, but it was served free of charge. Dr. Jones, the pastor of Green Street Baptist church, made an address of welcome, telling how proud he was to have such a crowd of Baptists of the country to drop in, but that was not all, he wanted the whole convention to come to Louisville in 1925, but he was informed that they wanted to go to Baltimore, Md., 1925, and 1925, that delegation would join with him in getting the convention to Louisville. When we were through sending the good things into our eternity, then it was that we got in these - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 DR. J. H. MOORE OPENS DENTAL PARLOR. Dr. J. H. Moore, a graduate of the Dental department of the University of Chicago, has located in the city with an up-to-date, latest equipped, dental parlor, at 428 Minnesota avenue, having rooms in the same building and floor with Dr. Blount. Dr. Moore finished in 1922 with high honors and took the state Board examination of Kansas in June. As a dental surgeon, Dr. Moore comes to us with the highest recommendation and his success is practically assured. Dr. Moore we welcome you to our city and citizenship. MRS. BROOKS ENTERTAINS JUNIOR CHOIR. The Junior choir of the First A. M. E. church after a business session on Tuesday evening at the parsonage, was lavishly served with a fine luncheon by Mrs. C. E. Brooks, who is also a member of the choir. The hostess was given a hearty vote of thanks for her generous hospitality. Her cousin, Miss Alma Raymond, assisted in serving. The A. M. E. ministerial alliance of the city and the Kansas City district, held their regular meeting Tuesday, at First A. M. E. church. The presiding elder, W. T. Osborne, was present and a good number of the ministers out of the city. The president, Rev. J. S. Payne, presided. Rev. J. M. Watts is secretary. Mrs. Ellen Truman, 1703 North First street, died Wednesday morning at 1 p. m. Mrs. Truman had been ill for some months, but was not considered dangerously sick. same automobile car carriages and they toted us around through Louisville for just a little while, and then we were loaded on the bed car carriages again, and this time Nashville bound. I must not forget to inform you that during this eating business there were many speeches made. Dr. Charles H. Parrish president of Simmons University, presided, I think they called him toastmaster, but he did not serve any toast, but called on those he desired to have speak. I had the pleasure of meeting Editor William H. Steward of the American Baptist. Off for Nashville, and this time we were put on a special from the East, which made 14 carriages, and 12 of them were bed car carriages. In them were men and women from New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and perhaps some other places. It looked then like the army that John saw, but bless your soul that was nothing to what we found in Louisville. The driver of that old iron horse stepped on the gas. We were running second section to the Pan and there is no question about it, it was going. We landed in Nashville before good dark, and all were soon in their stopping places, and many went to what they called pre-convention concert. Now about the convention. It has been one of the greatest meetings of the age. But it was not all sunshine, for it opened with a cloud. In the course of human life, there must come clouds and rain as well as the sunshine. It comes at times when we are not expecting it. Now you want to know about this cloud. The convention was called to order at 9:30 Wednesday, September 10, by Dr. L. K. Williams. Of course you expected to be called to order. They had the usual song and prayer service, and before other things could happen, then Dr. L. K. Williams made a short talk. "It now becomes my duty to call to order the 44th annual session of the National Baptist convention," he said, "and I am glad to see so many of you here today. Here to do the work for the Master and our denomination. This is a different opening than we have ever had. Death has invaded our ranks, and has taken from us, the veteran, the oldest officer of our convention, Dr. Andrew Jackson Stokes, treasurer. He died in California, and his body is in the city, and awaiting the action of this convention, and if it pleases the convention will be conveyed to this place (Continued on page 3.)

His many substantial friends are in great hopes he may soon regain his normal strength. Current events, as some would say, was the cause of them changing their political party, but it is more often currency. Announcement 1924 THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER M. AT C. M. E.

The Mosaic Templars of the World, laid the corner stone of their building last Sunday afternoon at 535 Nebraska avenue. The ceremonies were performed by the York Rite Masons of this city, Grand Master J. A. Broadnax of King Solomon Grand Lodge officiating. G. D. Bryson is Grand Master of Kansas and has worked up in the state a large and prosperous number of lodges. When the list of campaign contributors is published it will not be found "Doheny's name led all the rest." The anti-Klan voters demand that Dawes make a "hell and Maria" speech about the Klan. People who go by their feeling, generally get it second hand, as they usually ask someone else how they feel in the matter. The funeral of Mrs. Mary Caldwell was held Monday morning at Walnut Boulevard Baptist church.

In sad and loving memory of our dear husband and father, A. J. Hill, who departed for the beautiful Isle of Somewhere, September 17, 1922: In Westlawn softly sleeping Where the flowers gently wave, The month of September again appears, To us the saddest of the year. 'Tis sweet to remember him In his lonely, silent grave. Today recalls sad memories Of our love one gone to rest And those who think of him today Are those who love him best. Sadly missed by his wife, Mrs. A. J. Hill, Robert J. Hill, Ruby Hill Parker, B. Parker, D. W. Jennings and Janie Hill Jennings, children. Kansas City, Kansas Sept. 17, 1924. The public is hereby notified that the statement which recently appeared in the local press that the Negro lawyers of Kansas City, Kansas, will have charge of the program to be rendered at the Kansas City, Kansas, Citizens Forum on Sunday, September 21, 1924 at 3:00 o'clock p. m. at which Governor Jonathan M. Davis has been invited to be the principal speaker, was not given out by any person authorized to represent the Negro lawyers of Kansas City, Kansas, in the matter, and that the said lawyers, as a body, will have no connection with said program. Miss LeElla Blake, 830 Nebraska avenue, left last Friday for Manhattan, where she entered the Manhattan college. Miss Blake is a graduate of Western University. Mrs. Lucy Warren of Marlin, Tex., is visiting her cousin, W. R. Johnson, and wife, 2071 North Sixth street. Mrs. Warren has been visiting relatives in Chicago and is on her return home. Prof. Shelton French on Grandview boulevard and vice-president of Western University, has been confined to the house for a week with illness. His friends hope his illness may soon be cured. Rev. Wm. Mitchell on Nebraska avenue, is still on the sick list. He has been in ill health for several months and his friends regret very much, his long confinement to the house. Richard Spencer, 351 Everett, who has been unable to work for some months on account of illness, does not seem to improve in health as his friends would love to see. We suppose LaFollette thinks labor can do more to save him, than he can do to save labor. A statesman is one who wants to do something for his country; a politician is one who wants his country to do something for him. Number 5 IN MEMORIAM. A CORRECTION D. E.

The services of the Second Baptist church were well attended Sunday all day and were enjoyed by two great sermons by the Pastor, Rev. J. S. Bowles. Morning service his subject was "Promise Made to Abraham and His Seed and Its Fulfillment, words of the text, Heb. 11 and 10: He looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. The pastor's main theme was "What Special Promise Was Made to Abraham and His Seed." Romans 4 and 13, the Promise that he should be the heir of the world was not Abraham or his seed through the law, but brought Righteousness of faith. He preached so realistic. Scores shouted for joy. At 8 p. m. he preached another great sermon. Subject, "Jesus Rejected at Nazareth," text Luke 4 and 18. Words of the text: He anointed me to preach good tidings. It was a great sermon which caused others audibly, praised the Lord and one united with the church by letter. Rev. Bowles has done a great work since he has been called to Weston, he has organized a choir which is second to none with Prof. Cornelius Daniels, director. Professor Daniels is a wideawake young man and doing a great work. We should be proud of such young men. Sunday School at 3 o'clock well attended. Lesson well taught by the teachers. Address by pastor. Prayer meeting every Wednesday night. Rev. Bowles and wife wish to thank Sister Carbon of Quindaro, Kansas, for such large donations and also Brother Cox and wife of Weston, Mo. We express our thanks and we know God will bless you. Why He Enjoyed It "Sir," said the young man with enthusiasm, as he seized the lecturer's hand and shook it warmly, "I certainly enjoyed your lecture last night very much indeed." "I am glad to hear that," said the lecturer, "but I didn't see you there." "No," admitted the youth, "I wasn't there." "But," said the puzzled speaker, "how could you enjoy my lecture if you were not there?" "Oh, I bought tickets for my girl's parents and they both went." Odd Use for Auto Bodies For temporary protection of a river bank being undermined by floods and strong currents, approximately 2,000 discarded automobile bodies were sunk in depths of from 20 to 40 feet. Placed in a barrier along the shore line, the cast-off vehicle hulks formed a "mattress" to hold the land from slipping into the stream. Many that did not readily submerge were filled with rock. It is said that the plan checked erosion of the bank, until permanent dikes could be installed.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.

CHURCH NEWS Services Sunday were largely attended, morning, afternoon and evening. Presiding Elder W. T. Osborn delivered a masterful sermon at the eleven o'clock service to a full and appreciative house. Dr. Osborn was at his best, taking for his subject "Life." It was scholarly, logical and full of the Holy Ghost. The communion sermon at 3 p. m. was preached by Rev. J. S. Payne, pastor of Allen Chapel of Quindaro and his choir furnished excellent music. Dr. Payne is a strong gospel minister and his congregation received a great blessing. Dr. Wm. Winston, an evangelist, was present and assisted in the communion. The presiding elder delivered another fine sermon at 7:30 p. m., to a large Sunday night audience. Several joined the church during the day. This quarter closed up the year's work and both the pastor, Rev. C. E. Brooks and presiding elder were well pleased with the reports on Monday night, at the quarterly conference. Every department of the church showed that God's church was moving on. The members were elated to know that their work, through the leadership of Dr. Brooks, had been a success. Many had been added to the church this year and souls had been saved. The steward's report highly commended the work of the pastor, in the great work he had done for the church and people, in his first year of service; also the presiding elder received the highest commendation in his faithfulness and the fine spiritual sermons preached. The members who have not kept up with the budget system this year are coming up nicely and many will stand a hundred per cent by the time the pastor goes to conference. Dollar money is coming in nicely and Pastor Brooks will leave for his first conference here feeling happy. First church never fails. Only two more Sundays before conference. Come out Sunday with the spirit of Christ and receive a blessing from the Lord. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH REV. E. M. MOSELEY. Pastor. The friends and members of Mt. Olive Baptist Church met early in religious worship. The Sabbath School was well attended and lesson reviewed by the Rev. Wilson, pastor protem. Rev. Wilson preached the morning sermon from text I John 3:20: "For if our heart condemn us God us greater than our heart and knoweth all things." He preached a good sermon and made great stress on the value of keeping our hearts right. The Holy Spirit blessed the meeting and many souls were made glad that they come to the house of the Lord. The pastor (Rev. E. M. Moseley) and his wife are away attending the National Association in Nashville, Tenn. We pray for their success. The night services were spiritual and good. The B. Y. P. U. held a good session at 5 p. m.. The clubs announced their weekly meetings. The contributions were good and some additions were made to the church. Everyone seemed to enjoy the blessings of the Holy Spirit. Sister Caldwell a member of Mt. Olive church died last week and Rev. Wilson preached-the funeral on Monday. She was one of the oldest members we had and her loss to the church will be a gain to the church above. She is asleep in Jesus. Pray for the sick, fatherless, widows and disheartened.

Dr. S. E. J. Watson of Chicago, made the motion setting aside time for the funeral, suspending all business of the convention. Already the Executive Committee of the convention had met and arranged a program. The officers of the convention were the active pallbearers and the secretaries of the various boards and their presidents were the honorary. The services were impressive. The Rev. Dr. Brown told who accompanied the body from Los Angeles, told about the death. How the veteran was determined to be at the convention. All of his plans were laid, but was stricken with acute indigestion, and in a short time his soul was conveyed to the God he had served so many years. "His body is here, but the soul is not." I am not able to enter into details, for I will not have the space. Dr. C. H. Parrish, made a prayer which touched the hearts of many. He told God that the Baptists did not understand just what was being done, why so many of the leaders were being called away at this time. He asked God to make known to the Baptists through some medium he desires. Dr. R. T. Pollard preached the sermon. Following which the convention song "Shall We Meet Beyond the River?" It was a sad occasion. I sat next to Dr. T. A. Stokes, who said that the first time in forty years Dr. Stokes was not on the rostrum. It has been a wonderful convention here, and I am glad to tell you that they dedicated the National Baptist Theological Seminary. They have one fine building, and soon the doors will be thrown open to those who desire to prepare for the ministry. While in the city, I have been the guest of Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Caldwell, and believe me as I told you before I had an Old Aunt Dolly time. Plenty to go into my eternity, Dr. Caldwell with his automobile car carriage to note me anywhere I desired to go. To the meeting, to home, to everywhere else. I am sure you remember that Dr. J. C. Caldwell is editor of the Sunday School literature of the Sunday School Union of his church. He is putting brains on paper to feed the mind of he youth. It is a great position and he is able to do the work. From this position he will be called to the episcopal bench in 1928. I have not been able to say all I have in mind to say, or to talk about the wonderful things that have happened. I will have to say them another time. Dr. E. Arlington Wilson of Dallas, Texas, shook my lily black hand, and there were others who followed him. I have just been with them. I may tell you about them in another letter. I will not be able to tell you about President A. L. Boone of the Missionary and Educational Convention; Dr. W. A. Bowren, president of the Kansas Convention and President Perry of Oklahoma. By unanimous vote the next session of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress will meet in Wichita, Kansas. Will you plan to be there? J. O. MIDNIGHT.

(First published September 19, 1924) SAYS LEARNING WILL DISPLACE LAUGHTER An age without laughter, a somber and scientific period, when the jokes and comicalities of the present day will be preserved as curiosities in the dusty tomes of museums, was predicted as a possibility by Dr. Charles Gray Shaw, professor of philosophy, in a talk before the summer school of New York university. The disappearance of laughter from the world will be caused by the spread of learning, Dr. Shaw said. He argued that, in a distant day, men will know too much to laugh, just as primitive men grew too little to smile. Men no longer laugh at things they use 3 to laugh at, Doctor Shaw pointed out. Among the things which laughter now passes by, he said, are: Old maids, bobbed hair, matrimony and the drunken man. Do They Like Animals? Show me a child who does not like a kitten or a puppy, and I will show you the unhealthy product of unnatural upbringing, writes Elizabeth K. Peeples in Nature Magazine of Washington. To study animals with children from seven to eleven or twelve years of age is as sure a road to happiness as taking them to a circus. Often that is a good way to begin. But even after a circus, beginners in animal study should commence with a domestic rather than a wild animal, because of ease in observation and the possibilities for intimacy, if for no other reasons. Can't Hock the Cow If you ever run short of funds in Paris and happen to have a cow handy, it won't help you much. The French government has ruled that cows cannot be hocked in pawnshops. A farmer at Boulogne attempted it. The secretary general of the government pawnshop system ruled against him. "Cows are not acceptable," the secretary general said, "because they come under the head of perishable goods. A cow hocked by its owner is liable to die in its sad surroundings."—From Collier's. Misunderstood Visitor—Can you tell me if Bill Jones is up in his room? Marion-I am cutting classes in a correspondence school. A Tactful Man Sir Robert Baden-Powell can always be relied upon to tell a story worth retelling. At the recent dinner of the Federation of Rambling Clubs he related an amusing incident in which he and his wife were concerned while camping in a wood belonging to one of the newly rich. Lady Baden-Powell asked permission to put up a tent in the wood. After some hesitation, sanction was forthcoming. "But you must bring the general to see me," insisted the landowner. Her ladyship pointed out the general, who was busy unharnessing the horse. "That him?" exclaimed the landowner. "Good heavens! I thought he was tall, alim and—well, handsome!" New Needle Pointer A device has been invented that enables one to repoint fiber needles without the tiresome task of removing them from the tone arm after once having been used on a record. A Chicago manufacturer has now perfected a small metal cutting device that cuts the needle without removing it. It is run under the needle and the lever pressed down by the first finger. This operates a cutting knife. Back of the cutting knife a small receptacle catches the discarded part of the needle. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT State of Kansas, County of Wyandotte, ss.
