HEAR BISHOP CAREY SUNDAY, 11 A. M., FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH KANSAS Vol. XI J. O. TELLS OF THE B. Y. P. U. BAPTIST CONGRESS HELD IN WICHITA J. O. TELLS OF THE B. Y. P. U. BAPTIST CONGRESS HELD IN WICHITA Wichita, Kansas, July 3.—I have been talking to you a long time about the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, and now it is all over, or will be when you read this letter, because we are right in the midst of it just now, and when you read this letter I will be back in the Park Sanitarium, Guthrie, Oklahoma, in bed letting Dr. H. W. Conrad, one of the finest physicians in this country fight the bugs, and it is going to be a great bug fight, and believe me when I tell you some of them are going to get killed. But I am not to write about bugs this week, but will write to you about these Baptists, because it has been one of the finest meetings it has been my lot to attend, and these Kansas people put the big pot in the little one, and the people who attended the congress just had a spiritual and intellectuat feast, and I am glad that I was one of them, because I am all the stronger man by having been here. Of course you are expecting me to tell you many things about the congress and if I can I will do so, or will talk about as much as possible and when I am thru then I will stop, but I fear it will be impossible for me to get through, hence I will just write so much, and leave off when I think I have said enough. This meeting has been an eye opener for the people here, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterians, Catholics, Episcopalians and all the others I do not recall as well as to all races and groups. The pleople had been told about the Baptists coming and they were prepared for them. The city of Wichita joined in the preparation by furnishing them the large auditorium in the city, the Forum, and this was furnished to the local people for the Congress free of any cost to them, and then many other things were done. The Baptists got well organized for the entertainment, for the reception and for all that was necessary. I want to here pay my personal respect to the local committee, especially Rev. J. W. Hayes, the pastor of Calvary Baptist church, who took a special interest in me a sick man. R. T. Sims, looked after my mail during my stay, and even toted me in his automobile car carriage a few times. "We are ready," was announced by the people, and the Baptists of America responded in special trains, composed of eating cars, chair cars, bed cars, and straight back cars, automobile car carriages, and I suppose some of them took pains and walked in town, but they were here just the same by large majorities. There were five special trains in the town, saying nothing about the regulars. How about the meeting. Dr. Daniel W. Cannon, of Atlanta, Ga., is the president, and he called the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress to order in 24th annual session at 9:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, and he made some speech in performing this duty. Then followed the gong and prayer service. It was interesting to see this feature, for they had 150 voices and they were directed by father and son, Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, and E. W. D. Isaac, jr. They all but lifted the roof off of the spacious auditorium. It was some singing believe me honey. When this was over, followed the welcome addresses, and the gavel was turned over to the Rev. J. W. Hayes, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, of Wichita. He was proud of the opportunity to welcome the Baptists, but there had been selected some one for that purpose, hence he made a few scattering remarks. A welcome chorus which had been written by E. M. Barnes and it was some song believe me. I enjoyed this feature, and it was followed by a welcome to Kansas. The Governor had been called to New England to a conference of Governors with the president of the United States, hence sent Phil E. Zimmerman, state hotel commissioner, and of course the mayor was there in person to welcome this Baptist host to the city and Dr. W. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER A. Bowren was there to tell them just how welcome they were to Kansas. He is president of the state convention and was authorized, of course, to welcome the others. Rev. B. L. Marchant, pastor of New Hope made a welcome address, and all the others, and the addresses were responded to Rock, Dr. E. M. Carver. He is a graduate from the Arkansas Baptist college. This ended the welcome part and other business followed. I am not going to give you an account in detail, and you do not expect me to do this. I had the pleasure of meeting some real men and women here. It has been all sunshine here, and while I have been sick myself yet I have joined with the others in sunshine and sunshine making. The world is full of gloom at times, but when you go to a meeting of the kind you are required to lay aside gloom and get right down to the business end of it. Rev. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist convention was on hand and he presided over the meeting of the executive board which met and made program for the next session of the national convention, and when this was done, I am here to tell you that they are going to have some of the best men and women of the country to speak in that big meeting next September in Baltimore. It is going to be held in Baltimore. There are being produced in this country, strong men—men with wonderful spiritual power. I know way back yonder we had a few strong preachers and big churches, and it was considered a great thing when a preacher of my race got $100 or $150 a month. We looked upon him with wonder and surprise, but bless your soul we have them now getting almost that much a week, and the people are proud to be able to give it to them. In this Sunday School Congress they were here, and I don't mind telling you about them. The Metropolitan Baptist Church, New York City, is one of America's greatest churches, and its membership it is impossible for me to tell you, but the pastor is a man in keeping with the greatness of the church. It would be surprised for me to tell you that Rev. W. W. Brown, went from Roanoke, Va., to Pittsburgh, Pa., taking hold of the Ebenezer Baptist church. He accomplished great things then, and God directed him to New York to do a greater work. He began preaching in great New York, and no doubt the message went to the people, "This is my representative on earth, I hear ye him." They heard him and this great church sprang up. Thousands of people flocked to it, and a building was erected, and at the rate they are going it is going to become necessary that a larger building be erected. To look after this great church is more than one man can do, so here comes the scripture to bear us out, "Unto us a Son is given," and unto Dr. Brown a son was born and was given, and his name was called W. Abner Brown, and he is now the assistant to his father. He looks after the details, and then he is a great preacher, well educated and prepared for the work. He makes it easy for father in his older years. He was here to represent his church and people, and I tell you that young man made a wonderful speech. Many of the young people declared they would like to have him for their pastor. He made an impression and inspired some of the young men to want to preach. I was glad to shake hands with this young man, and in doing so I shook hands with his father. There was another strong character in the meeting and he comes from Brooklyn, N. Y. Rev. J. B. Adams, D. D., pastor of the Concord Baptist church, and if you know anything at all about churches in New York, you know this one, because the Rev. Dr. Dixon was pastor so many years. He did not have any frills, but delighted in having the people call him "Pastor" instead of them other entitlements. He was a great man, lived there for years as pastor—in fact he went to heaven from the church, and here was a young man, brought up in the Sunday school, received the divine call to the ministry, took time, and prepared himself, for he felt that if he had received the divine commission to preach at the same time he received the divine commission to prepare to preach, for God is getting to the place where He does not want ignorance and illiteracy in the pulpit.

TOPEKA INDUSTRIAL AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE HAS NEW PRINCIPAL E. E. Weaver of Muskogee, Okla. Succeeds George R. Bridgeforth E. E. Weaver of Muskogee, Okla., on the first day of July succeeded Geo. R. Bridgeforth, as principal of Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute, a colored vocational school, located about three miles east of Topeka. Mr. Bridgeforth has been in charge of the school seven years. Principal Weaver comes highly recommended, as an educator, who for many years was principal of the school, at Muskogee. Prof. Weaver has kept abreast all educational activities and the school is expected to take on new life under his leadership. A FAMOUS PREACHER HEARD Rev. Campbell of Memphis, Tenn., preached three nights at 8th Street Baptist Tabernacle, as he was on his way home from the national B. Y. P. U. convention at Wichita. Mrs. Will Tate 1935 N. 4th street has been some what ill this week. your heart belongs to the fighting tools of a minister. Rev. Adams, preached to four thousand people on Sunday morning—people of every race and nationality in the world represented here in Wichita. They heard him gladly. The great building was thrown open to the public night and day, free of charge, except the Saturday night program and it was charge meeting, but the large sum of ten cents. But I must tell you I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. E. E. Weaver, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, for he was one of the workers in the Congress. He received his appointment as successor to Prof. G. N. Bridgeforth at that school in Topeka, Kansas. I want to congratulate Governor Ben S. Paulen on his selection, and he pleases all the people including Nick Chiles. I shall have more to say about him. The Rev. Walton Brown, pastor of St. Marks M, E. of this city has taken unto himself a bride, and it is Miss Mavel Overstreet, and that will make me his Uncle in law, for I am the Uncle of his wife. Wonderful things take place. I must bring this letter to a stop The next big things to which our attention is directed in the future is the National Baptist Convention and the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias, in Louisville, Ky. Remember I am sick in the Park Sanitarium, Guthrie, where a line will reach me any time. I do not know how long I will have to remain in bed. I find myself sick a great deal these days and it may be that I am getting ripe for the kingdom and the sickness may be warning "Get ready to meet thy God." J. O. MIDNIGHT.

The total collection for men and women was over $80. The greatest single agency of wild life destruction is the forest fire, so we are informed by government officials. For eight years, from 1917 to 1924, the average annual number of forest fires in this country was 41,000. During this time 9,000,000 acres of forest land was burned over each year or an area twice that of Upper and Lower Michigan was destroyed by the red devastator. This loss totals over $18,000,000 annually. Chicago, Ill. May 26, 1925. Cato McGhee, Grand Master, Saint Mark Grand Lodge F. & A. A. Y.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. MEN OF SCIENCE WATCH VOLCANOES Risk Lives to Make Tests and Observations. After a sleep of four hundred years, the famous Mexican volcano, Popocatepeti, is in eruption and volcanologists are hurrying to the spot. A queer profession is volcanology, twin-sister of seismology. Literally, a volcanologist is a "Boy Who Stands on the Burning Deck, Whence All But He Had Fled." Good nerves—or none at all—are indispensable for the work. When a volcano has been quiescent for so many years that it may reasonably be considered to be extinct, it ceases to attract attention. But several big "fire mountains" that are merely slumbering uneasily have their official watch dogs, even vigilant and busy with their tests and observations, up in a little observatory near the rim of the bubbling crater. You find them on Taal, in the Philippines, and on Vesuvius, on Kilauea, in the Hawaiians, and on Asuma, in Japan. In addition to the permanent stations, temporary observatories are set up, ever and anon, by parties of "watchdogs" well versed in the ways of earthquakes and eruptions, when word comes of a volcano that apparently intends to give trouble. The practical result of all the steadily accumulating mass of observations is a dossier of data that enables many an eruption to be foreseen in time to give warnings as to its probable extent and direction, so that lives can be saved and property removed from what, it is realized, will be the track of lava rivers. Sometimes these warnings can be given even weeks ahead. The town of St. Pierre, Martinique, that was overwhelmed by Mount Pelee, had a fortnight's warning, but neglected to profit by it. One of the most exciting experiences of "volcano watchdogs" of recent years was during the big eruption of Kilauea, when a party of plucky American volcanologists camped all night at the foot of a line of fountains of fiery froth three times the height of Cleopatra's Needle. It was a splendid spectacle, the blindingly incandescent molten rock spurting up in continuous jets from the fountain cones, like monstrous roman candles. For all their intrepidity, however, they must have had bad moments of feeling that home was not such a bad place after all when, about 3 o'clock in the morning, the fiery fountains "put a little more pep into it" and shot up to greater height than St. Paul's cathedral, London. The river of lava that ensued after this first blow-off of gas flowed 12 miles down the forested mountain-side to the sea. Now the Blue Carnation The ambition of English florists is to grow a blue carnation. The incontestable fact that in nature no such thing as a blue carnation or a blue rose or a yellow sweet pea or a black tulip occurs is no argument against the florists' endeavor to produce one of these unnatural flowers. If our gardens were only allowed to show such blooms as may be found in a state of nature they would be miserably poorer. A wild rose is a charming flower, but what reason is there in an asceticism which would deny us the color and form of Madame Chatenay or the fragrance of General McArthur because these roses are unnatural, the product of the florists' science?—London Telegraph.

Interesting Reading An old man, a real patrilarch of the hills, wandered into the public library of a southern Indiana town, recently, and stood for a few minutes looking around. Finally approaching the librarian he said, rather defensively. "I reckon ye don't object to my readin' in that book there, do ye?" pointing with his cane in the direction of the dictionary. Being assured that he was free to use the book, he seated himself comfortably, and seemingly, with much interest, perused the pages of the book for some time.—Indianapolis News. Dog Adopts Chicks Reversing the recent case in which a Rhode Island Red hen adopted a litter of puppies a four-year-old poodle, owned by Theodore Gauthier of West Springfield, Mass., is playing mother to a brood of 15 chicks, the Philadelphia Public Ledger says. The chicks, incubator born, attracted the poode's attention when brought home by Mr. Gauthier. Finally the poode was allowed to adopt them after much whining and refusing to eat. The chicks are being brought up with an abnormal tendency to cleanliness, for Fifi licks them as she would a nappy. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation attended Metropolitan Baptist Church Sunday, June 28th. The Sunday School was also large and at 11 a. m., the people present enjoyed a fine sermon by Rev. L. K. Weaver, of Peoria, Ill. The senior choir sang a beautiful anthem about "Jesus calming the tempest." Then Rev. Weaver preached on, "How we should ever have faith in God's word, the Bible, and never agree with evolution," but remember, "Man was created in the image of God." All true Christians enjoyed his sermon. At 6 p. m. the B. Y. P. U. had a large meeting and at 8 p. m., Rev. Alva Royston, who was ordained from this church, preached a fine sermon on "Faith, Hope and Charity." Next Sunday, July 5th, sermons will be preached by Pastor Bronson. All are invited.

Saturday July 4th, the pastor asked the heads of the prayer bands to attend prayer meeting from 11 to 12. Come to Metropolitan next Sunday, July 5th, as it is the coolest church in town. Dogs Carry Watches A new kind of a watch dog has made its appearance in London. These dogs do not need any special training to be efficient, nor do they differ in pedigree from any of the other useless laphounds that escort their mistresses on sunny afternoons along the Mall. What makes these pets distinctive is that on their collars they wear tiny watches, often set with gems, and sometimes with little bells that strike the hours. A woman from San Diego, Cal., is credited with having started the fashion, which the Bond street jewelers were not slow to encourage. A Round Oath The bishop of London is said to figure in the following incident. He had been salmon fishing in the Highlands when two ghillies were heard subsequently discussing his merits, and one of them remarked: "He's a very nice gentleman, he is, but he do swear something dreadful." "Swear?" exclaimed the other, aghast. "And him a bishop?" "Age," said the first. "A salmon started to rise and I asked him, 'Shall I row after that d—d fush, m'lord?' And he said, 'Yes, do!'"—Sportling and Dramatic News. New England Shakes One earthquake seems to have the effect of breeding another, and New England is getting to be a fine place for earth tremors. A slip which causes an internal earth slide appears to leave a vacancy which must be rectified by another. And thus the process goes on. A portion of this general region south of Boston felt a recent quake which the scientists tell us centered off Long Island. Another shake, they predict, will shortly be felt in Connecticut, but fortunately they assert, it will not be of a serious nature—Lowell Courier-Citizen. Tnia Taht Eht Hturt! About as logical an exposition of the subject as we have yet seen appears in a contemporary which says: "Affairs in Russia have reached a state of etaion shrdlushrdlu."—Arkansas Gazette.

(First Published July 3, 1925) Nonasphyxiating’ Gas" A new heat and light-producing gas that Is nonasphyxiating, has been brought to such high perfection that its heat value -and candle power are said to.be higher than ordinary gas. Dr. O. U, Bean, who made the Bunsen burner, Is the inventor. ‘he new gas is made from oil or the residium from making gasoline. Ordinary gas con- tains 30 per cent of carbon monoxite. while the new gas contains none. ‘The secret of its being nonasphyxiating Is that it Is made at lower temperature than ordinary gas. The process promises to be cheap. cv Spend Your Money with your home merchants, They help pay the taxes, keep up the schools, build Toads, and make this acom- munity worth while.

In some Eng- lish manors singular practices are still observed. For example, says Dr. G. C. Williamson In bis book “Curious Sur- vivals,” at Caistor in Lincolnshire, a most pecular service was retained un- til the middle of the Nineteenth cen- tury. The owner of the estate, known as Brigg, held certain lands subject to the performance on Palm Sunday of every year of the ceremony of cracking a whip in the church; while the clergy- man was reading the first lesson the tenant cracked the whip three distinct times In the church porch and then folded it up. As soon as the second lesson was commenced he went up to the clergyman, presented the whip to him, held It over his head and waved it three times, holding it in that posi- tlon during the reading of the lesson. ‘The whip had a purse tied at the end of It, which was supposed to contain thirty pieces of silver; it had also four pleces of elm attached to it, repre- senting the Gospels. The three cracks were typical of St. Peter’s denfal of his Lord, and the waving of the whip over the clergyman’s head was sup- posed to he an act of homage to the Blessed Trinity. The origin of the ceremonial goes back to exceedingly remote times and is said to have been connected with a penance Imposed on aome tenant for ‘an act of murder.—Youth’s Companion. Most visitors to Windsor Great park have seen the equestrian statue of George III which stands at the far end of the Broad walk. It is a huge statue, and when it was erected In 1823 the horse's body was first set up, then fts head fixed, and lastly the figure of the king was seat- ed upon his steed. Just before the head was fixed one of the officlals of the castle. and six friends, had din- ner inside the body of the horse. After all parts of the statue had been closed up and hermetically sealed, they remembered that a short Iadder had been left inside. That ladder is there still—London Tit-Bits. TRAINING COURSE FOR BRITISHERS . — . ; Unusual interest has been created by the plan of sending out from Eng- land to the colonies and dominions groups of men and women selected from various districts ,and carefully trained to take up the life of settlers. A committee recently formed in Lon- don is recruiting a new “community Settlement” from the ranks of retired officers and civil servants who find it Increasingly difficult with thelr com- paratively small pensions to maintain in England the standards of life to which they have been accustomed. It is proposed to gather communities of 60 or 70 families and train them in ‘England on two-acre garden” plots, Each prospective settler will thus gain some experience of farming and at the end of five years the whole group will be moved to a homestead in South Africa, Canada or Australla. Mean- while, it is believed, they will be able to pay their way from the produce of thelr gardens. _ An illustrator The late Guernsey Moore, the art- ist, disliked illustrations that did not accurately follow the text they were supposed to illustrate. i “I was talking to a famous Illus- trator the other day,” Mr. Moore sald {a Germantown, “and I asked him this question: “Penn, what is the most interesting story you ever illustrated?” “‘Dunno,’ sald Penn. ‘Never read any of ’em’” st Old Warrior Remembered | The authorities of Malmesburg, Wiltshire, England, have set them- selves the task of ascertaining the color and the cut of the whiskers worn by old King Athelstan, wha died in 925. They have looked through an- cient books, studied statutes and pored over archives, but up to the present time with no success. They are’ not discouraged, however, and the search is still going on, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. A fund has been subscribed for the erection of a stained glass portralt to King Athelstan In the local town hall. ft seems Athelstan drove out the Danes 1,000 years ago and the people of Malmesburg want to commemorate hig pct “DONE WHILE YoU walT Goodyear Rubber Heels -- - - = 35¢ Leather Half-sols - - - - 65cto %0c Panco Half-soles - - - - - ec Shining Parlor--Hats Cleaned and Blocked WHILE YOU WAIT ,All kinds of Shoe Shining Material for Sale ALL WORK GUARANTEED 1004-6 North 5th Street—Near Minnesota Avenue BUSCH & BROWN, Props.

Custom has an ascendancy over the understanding. All freedom and no responsibility doesn't make a man. The hen seldom has a grudge against the farmer she is laying for. Good fishermen know when and where to draw the line. No matter how bill collectors are hated they are invited to call again. It's a poor road that will allow an automobile to indulge in mud slinging. A genius is a man who can do almost anything except make a living. Don't think for a moment that the office ever has to seek the man on pay day. A decided blond is a fair-haired woman who always insists upon having her own way. If you have a bad memory you can improve it by doing things that you can't forget. Money lost in speculation is dropped by men who are trying to pick it up. The man who gets caught in the rain loses all interest, in silver-lined clouds. Some children are unfortunate in having their father and mother for parents. Lots of men would willingly work for their board—if they find some one to work. Some men are like phonographs—they talk a great deal, but never say anything original. If you start on a journey and forget to take an umbrella with you it's a sure sign of rain. Indian's Use of Tobacco The first mention of smoking tobacco in Canada is to be found in Jacques Cartier's account of his second voyage, made in 1535. The earliest white visitors to North America found the habit of smoking tobacco established among most of the Indian tribes. As a rule, the tobacco was smoked in pipes. A tribe of Indians occupying the district about the foot of Lake Erie were known as the Tobacco Indians. They grew tobacco and exchanged it with their neighbors for fish, corn and furs. Muskrat Enlivens Corner In Billings, Mont., a considerable crowd was recently entertained when a muskrat of fair size took charge of one of the downtown street corners early in the evening and had everything its own way because there is a penalty for killing muskrats in Montana. The fine is $25, and only through ignorance of the law on the part of a passerby, who belabored it with a broom, were the rat's antics finally stopped. Nonbathing Bolshevik The late August Belmont hated the Bolsheviks. Talking one day to a reporter about a Bolshevik agitator who was fleeing from state to state to escape arrest for arson, Mr. Belmont said: "The fellow boasts that he never takes a bath; but he's been showing the world of late a remarkably clean pair of heels." Many Canaries Imported Many Canaries Imported Most of the canaries sold in the United States are bred in Germany, although during the war domestic breeders supplied many markets. A recent importation of the little songsters numbered 8,000. They consumed 4,000 pounds of seed on the way over and four attendants were necessary to care for them while on shipboard.
