--- KANSAS Vol. XI COL. J. O. MIDNIGHT WRITES HIS LAST LETTER PRAY FOR ME THAT I MAY STAY A LITTLE LONGER Park Sanitarium, Guthrie, Okla., July 16.—Have you ever been suspended between life, and death, and then have some one cheat death and let life take its course? I may be in that class during the weeks I have been in the Park Sanitarium, but as I write to you this week I find that I am much improved, and all due to the fact that I have been in the hands of a real physician, Dr. Horace W. Conrad, the whole cheese at the Park Sanitarium, but one of the greatest physicians in America. Dr. Conrad is one of the men, who can examine you and when he is through he is the last word on what is the matter with you, and you may call in all the physicians in the country, and they will agree on what he has said about it, and all because he has made that profession a real study and it is a part of his life. He knows medicine and then he knows the human body. He is not one of the cutting doctors, only in the case of emergency, but he looks after the other part, and when there is cutting to be done he will tell you so, and then provide to have it done by one who knows. I am getting so I like your race, and while it has not reached the top in all things, it has many men and women who stand right on the top in certain lines, and it has been my pleasure for a long time to find them for you and tell you about them. We must be proud of our children and then of our children's children. We must be able to say, "The Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad." There are some o fus in this world that the white man says he tempered with, and if we are smart, then he claims that he is due to his blood, but I have in mind right now a man who was born on the dark of the moon, as black as two midiaights that came together in a dark cellar at midnight, and if you would catch his perspiration I think you would find mingled in it black ink. Do not accuse me to talking out of my head or in it either, for I know what I am talking about. It was back yonder in Clarksville, Texas, April 2, 1870, that little Johnnie came into the world in an humble farm hut, of humble parents. Like all parents should be, they saw a future for their son. They talked to him baby talk, and as soon as Johnnie could talk they taught him to say his prayers. "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; if I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." He liked this and later he was taught the Lord's prayer. Bless your soul honey as soon as that boy was old enough they had him in the I-room log-cabin school. Sunday morning they toted Johnnie to Sunday school, to church; and all the time tell him to hold up his head and produce sunshine in darkness. It was at church one Sunday they the father heard the preacher say that they were going to build a college in Marshall, Texas, for the race, and as soon as it was said, this father although poor, subscribed $20 to the project, which turned out to be Bishop college, and when it was opened, he was right there little Johnnie. His father had one hundred dollars, and gave one fifty dollar bill to Johnnie to get his college education. I wish you could have seen that little black boy step out. In 1894, it was no longer "Little Johnnie," but J. E. Perry, a college graduate ready then for to start on the study for his profession. Off for medical college, Merharry, coming out with the class of 1895, a graduated doctor, and I say a graduated doctor, and he thought that it was not sufficient, but he must do something new. Missouri was selected as his field of labor. I am not going to tell you all about this, but by ethics (medical) ability, courtesy, patience, he attracted attention and made friends and was able to do the thing that the people thought could not be done, he made his way into the clinical department of the Missouri university, located in Columbia, the banner democratic county in the state. This was a desire to get in better position to serve and to be real. Dr. J. E. Perry served his country with distinction during the Spanish- THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER American war. His whole aim being to inspire young men to aim for the top. For the training of young women, for nurses and service, he established a hospital known as the Perry Sanitarium, in Kansas City, later changed to the Wheatley-Providence Hospital, controlled entirely by members of this race of ours and one of the best in the country. It is approved by the College of Surgeons (white) who have the last word on hospital efficiency. A white philanthropist set aside $90,000 for its development. It has a special department for the training of men for the classic treatment of children. It is helped by some of the most eminent white men of the profession, who will give t oDr. Perry any thing he wishes, but this young man of our race is so conservative that he will not accept anything that he cannot use for the benefit of his race. He has had many honors in the profession, having served president of the National Medical Association, member of the commission of medical education of the National Medical Association. He is surgeon to the Kansas City Railway Company; also the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, and is chief of the visiting staff of the City Hospital, Kansas City. He is the chief operator in the Park Sanitarium, and honey he has been doing some work here. He performed two difficult operations July 9, right here and the patients are cheerful and getting well. He performed two several weeks ago. Dr. Perry is a personal friend to Dr. H. W. Conrad, and they are working together to hold up the good name of the profession and are rendering high class service, counting not the dollar but service. Dr. Perry's son is now in the Michigan university, preparing for great service. Many are the people I have seen here this week, and then I have been able to go to Meridian, Oklahoma, to spend a night with my nephew and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Stickley Overstreet. Then over to Langston to Langston University, and this is one of the educational institutions of America preparing for future. It was an eyeopener to visit this institution at this time, because, I saw about 500 teachers from all parts of the state and some from Texas getting their minds polished for greater work. They had backed their minds into the mind-roundhouse so to speak. I want to pay my respects to President I. W. Young, a college man and a college president. His selection to the position was a wise one and he is putting his very soul into the work, showing an interest in the development of the young people of Oklahoma, and urging preparation. He believes in progress, and I believe that is almost a part of his name. There is a large increase in the students, as well as in the teachers. There have been selected 38 professors and instructors for 1925-26 and the-best available men and women in the country. I could see many changes in the institution and the equipment is being added too. Science and research work can be done with a fair degree of efficiency, and five trades are offered in the shops. The farm is a factor. Projects of commendable proportions are to be found in operation upon the farm, varying from truck patches, potatoes, hogs, cows—in fact a splendid cross section of the major products. The work is under the management of five instructors. Home economies furnish a balance wheel for girls, with the trades and industries, and laundry, and the institution has produced its first bale of cotton. I shall have more to say about the institution and teachers in another letter. But let me pause here, for a letter from Mrs. Juanita Charlton, Beaumont, announcing the death of, the Rev. Dr. S. D. Butler, of Austin, Tex., who was to be one of the bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church. He was a great organizer, a leader of men, and was bound for the promised land. He bowed and supported Dr. J. B. Young last year in Louisville, Ky. Dr. Young is now in the field, and will come out in 1928 as a bishop. Dr. C. W. Abington, will go to Africa to succeed Bishop W. Sampson Brooks. Strange things happen in this world and I have had a wonderful surprise last week. It came from Mrs. G. V. Banks, the wife of President Banks of Texas college. A neat well wrapped package was brought to my bed. It took some time to get it open, well carefully packed. A little box, in which was a paper colored nurse bringing this expression: CITY ADVOCATE Kansas City, Kansas, July 17, 1925 WESTERN BAPTIST CONVENTION MEETS The Twenty-Second Annual Session of the Western Baptist Convention will be held with Pleasant Green Baptist church, Kansas City, Kas., July 21-26, 1925.

"Yes—me? Yes I waits on de sick sometimes." Under her apron was concealed a check for $5.10. As strong as I am as good looking as I am, and as large as I am, I found tears coming out of my eyes. Such an expression I never dreamed of since I have been colored. It touched my heart to think of some one way down in Texas—a woman sending such a practical expression to me. I pray God will bless her for years to come. I was to go to Kildare one time, but they failed to send to Texarkana, to get me, and I had to come on then to this place where I am. Pray for me, that I may stay a little longer. Dr. Conrad is doing his part to keep me here. Pray for me, that I may stay a little longer. Dr. Conrad is doing his part to keep me here. J. O. MIDNIGHT. REV. CHAS. STEWART "J. O. MIDNIGHT" Tilford Davis; Jr. The death of Rev. Charles Stewart about 11 p. m., Monday, July 13, at the sanitarium of Dr. Conrad, Guthrie, Oklahoma, deprives the race of the services of a man of ability and usefulness far beyond the estimate of the average person who knew him. While he did not know, or was he known by everybody, the fact remains that in all probability he knew, and was known by, more people than any man, of any race in the United States. For many years his travel facilitated by all complete supply of annual passes on most of the major railroad systems of the country, he had flitted all hit continuously over the country, stopping just long enough to lecture, preach or with his ever present typewriter, tap out the proceedings of some important assemblage of our people, which, since he was a member, of the Associated Press, would flow without obstruction into all the great dailies of the country through that channel. The world in general has scanned its daily paper, had its eye arrested by the headline, "Colored-Fraternal Grand Session, Baptist Convention, Methodist Conference," or the like, read a few ringing sentences presumably quoted verbation from prominent members of the organization well calculated to influence favorably to our race the opinions of mankind,—and, never suspected that behind it all was "the little yaller man with blue eyes" as in his waggish way he frequently styled himself over the phone to his friends. In these contributions he was correct, precise, forceful and eloquent in the use of English, yet many of our people know nothing of this part of his work—therefore, underestimated the man. It is worthy of note in this connection that instead of using verbatim notes of even very eloquent speeches, he might chat or nod at intervals, yet the next edition of the local dailies would bristle with ringing and compelling bits of philosophy, argument, counsel, or explanation, cunningly accorded to each of maybe a half dozen speakers, which made "good copy" from a newspaper standpoint, and of which the supposed authors could not complain because, though not literal, it always equaled and sometimes surpassed their actual statements. The readers of the Advocate enjoyed weekly his "Oddyssy" under his pen-name, "J. O. Midnight," in which he made a continuing journal of his peregrinations, and where is reflected sharply and distinctly his character as a bird-of-passage. With his pen-name he denoted readily the character of a semi-literate endowed by some miraculous means with remarkable facilities of travel, hob-nobbing the services and courtesies of ministers, bishops, college presidents, doctors, dentists, bankers, merchant-princes and other people of distinction throughout the length and breadth of the nation. Herein he exercised a rough, and at times, uncutth brand of humor by which a sleeping-car was metamorplaced into a "bed-carriage" an auto-mobile into a "car-carriage" and many like eccentricities of speech were introduced to add that peculiar J. O. Midnight" flavor to the running comment on travel, experiences, people, and events which was his theme from week to week. He contributed another set of articles to the Chicago "Broad-Ax" and other papers under the pen-name of "Charles Stump" which no more revealed his true capabilities than did his series as "J. O. Midnight." As a lecturer he was by turns entertaining, humorous, instructive and forceful, although at times his humor partook of the early "Elizabethian school where a spade wasn't called a shovel. As a preacher, while his other activities left him little time in which to follow that profession, he was always prepared to ascend the pulpit and deliver a soul stirring and heart-searching sermon—rising to climaxes at SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 Rev. J. W. Green of 1236 Nebraska avenue has returned home after a months' visit at his old home, Columbia, South Carolina. This is the first time Rev. Green has been back or seen any of his folk, in 35 years. This is his own story of his trip and visit: "During my absence of 35 years my oldest brother died and my youngest sister and my father about two years ago. During this 35 years I kept up a correspondence and one day a letter came from my brother Lewis, begging me to come and make them a visit, so they might see me once again. He could not understand how I could stay away from folks so many years. This letter affected me, as no other one had, so I immediately made up my mind to go. My wife said, Jesse, you should go. I told my little church membership and they urged upon me to go and in a short time they placed in my hand $46.00 to help in making the trip. The 4th of June, at 9:30 p. m., I boarded the train and was soon on my way to my old southern home. Before I left home I said to my wife if I could only see my brother Isaac, who left two years before I did and none of the family had heard of him since going away. But on my arrival to my happy surprise, when I stepped off the train at 4:50 p. m., Saturday, my brother Lewis, said, who do you suppose is here—well it is brother Isaac, he came in Thursday. He soon was before me and we had a joyful and happy meeting. When he begin to tell his long absence he had been in Buffalo, New York. He thought I was dead and I thought the same of my brother Isaac. I said this must be the providence of God, that we both meet after nearly two score years from each other and not knowing that either were living. It was a glorious meeting of all of us and the tears trinkled down our cheeks. Sunday morning I went with my brother Lewis to his church—Sidney Park A. M. E. church, a large brick edifice. That evening we drove out to the little church where I preached my first sermon and my mother and father are sleeping. While viewing around we saw an open grave and soon come the funeral. I ask about who it was and I was told it was Ellen Bynam, she being my wife's youngest aunt and there I saw and met four other aunts and an uncle of my wife. We mingling joy with sorrow. We then drove to our fathers house (deceased) where I met my step mother and we embraced each other with tears in our eyes of joy. She is the mother of seven children, four girls and three boys of whom I saw for the first time. My heart was overflowing with joy; my love went out to them. It was to me such a sweet family and I seemed to be to them. The second Sunday I was invited to preach at Sidney Park A. M. E. Church. Rev. Pharmer was the pastor. After services I went to my brother Elliott's home, where he and his sweet wife had prepared a fing dinner. Six brothers and two sisters dine together for the first time as a whole for more than 40 years. There we had a group picture. It was one of the happy moments of my life. Each of my sisters had special dinners for my brother Isaac and myself. We taken dinner with sisters Elizabeth Hennie, Lillie G. Patrick, Bulah G. Williams and mother, Jannie Green and sister Sallie Counts and also sister Fitzsimon. I was highly entertained at my brother Samuels and his very sweet wife. I preached in the church I was converted in some 35 years ago. Rev. Mr. Amaker now the pastor. Rev. Mr. McGill is the pastor of Manuel A. M. E. church. I hope my visit back home will not be as long as 35 years again. times which exalted the minds of his auditors to the mountain tops of spiritual fervor. His prestige, hisographical abilities and his ubiquity, were often commanded in the service of the Republican party and his counsel and advice was often sought by the party leaders, both before and after election. As a propagandist at large, (in the opinion of the writer with the right of all others to differ, reserved,) he probably weighed as much as all of the colored press beside, owing to his ability, by reason of his A. P. connection, to get his thought before the eyes of the entire public. Taken all in all we stand, today minns, one more man of parts, peculiarly eminent, in his field, so able and useful to us that unless a capable successor be found, and placed, the race must suffer. Number 48 A GREAT MAN HAS FALLEN IN PASSING OF DR. CHARLES STEWART The Advocate and its Readers are in the Deepest Mourning—Col. J. O. Midnight Has Gone. YOU READ HIS LAST LETTER IN THIS WEEK'S ISSUE Tuesday, morning early the news reached this office that Rev. Charles Stewart, known to The Advocate readers for more than eight years, as Col. J. O. Midnight, had passed away Monday night at 11 o'clock, took the editor off of his balance. His last letter to the Advocate came into the office Monday morning, which had been written Sunday at Park Sanitarium, Guthrie, Oklahoma, where he had been for treatment for three weeks. He stated he was feeling much better and he would be in Kansas City Saturday of this week. Dr. Stewart was one of the best known man in the country. As a writer, lecturer and pulpit speaker, he had but few peers. Being for many years a member of the Associated Press, he was continually on the road and was often called "The Globe Trotter." No man made or had more friends than Charles Stewart. He loved his race and made many sacrifices for his people. In all of his letters he was humorous, but always wrote on facts. His health had been failing him for quite a while and in his letters he often spoke of his condition, but that he was ready to go at anytime, when the Master called for him. His home was in Chicago, living at 4823 Calumet avenue, having a wife and one son, the son being a young man and very brilliant. A GREAT MAN HAS FALLEN; Miss Zeralea Calhoun, 9th and Washington boulevard has returned from a trip to Lake Taneycomo. Miss Beulah Douglass, who has been teaching in one of the colored colleges in the south, has returned here to spend vacation with her mother. Mrs. S. Rollins after removing to 9th street, near Washington boulevard will go to Iowa to some summer resort to rest awhile. Dr. H. B. Bronson finished his 10 days teaching at the Topeka Industrial Institute this week. Miss Agnes James, ( who is doing fine teaching in Atchison, is here spending the vacation with her mother Mrs. Morton Graves on Jersey avenue. Mrs. Blue, on Nebraska avenue, expects to go to Chicago in September, but says, "it is not true that she is going to sell her beautiful home." Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lyle are building an apartment on the rear of their lot. Mail Carrier Frye, on Washington boulevard, is one of the committee who canvassed for homes for the thousands of Shriners expected here in August. The Baptist Women's City Mission is in session this Friday at Antioch Baptist Church. A GREAT MAN GONB We are grieved to hear that Rev. Chas. Stewart departed this life in Oklahoma. He was truly one of the smartest men in any race, although he joked a great deal. He was one of the best writers in this century. The society editor of the Advocate and all the staff and friends by the million regret his departure. A MORSE—REAL ESTATE A MORSE—REAL ESTATE Mr. A. Morse, who a few months ago retired from government service, has opened a real estate office at 514 Minnesota avenue. Mr. Morse has equipped himself for this particular business and has fitted up a fine office at the above number—room 4. While he has been open less than a week, he has listed a number of excellent property bargains, which appear in this issue among the real estate dealers. Mr. Morse is a splendid citizen and we welcome him and his good wife among us. The Advocate wishes you every success. ROOMS FOR RENT Three unfurnished rooms. Strictly modern.

Royston preached a very good sermon and four united with the church, making a total of five joiners one, a candidate for baptism. Pastor Bronson asked for some to fast and pray and leave off worldly things every Friday of each week. He received promises from 12 persons that they would do that and he said he would be the 13th. He said he wanted them to do this for two or three months. The Mission Circle met in general session this Thursday. The Sunday School is doing very fine. The Sunbeam Hand gives an entertainment July 24th. The Sewing Circle is doing fine and is preparing special work for the Shriners. Mrs. Johnson, sang and the song she sang about was of our deceased friends, causing several to weep. The choir has grown very large and expect to soon have 100 voices. Next Sunday, July 19, good sermons will be preached, and a choir of near 50 voices will, sing. Come to this church, it is one of the coolest in town. Sinners especially are invited to come and join God's army. KING SOLOMON BAPTIST CHURCH While it was quite warm Sunday a nice audience greeted Pastor Montgomery. Dr. Montgomery's subject was, "Look Up," which was practical and full of gospel truths. Every one enjoyed his sermon and went away feeling stronger spiritually. King Solomon choir is faithful in service and their music is seasoned with the spirit of God. It lifted up the soul and charms the serpent in the flesh. The Sabbath school is doing nicely but there is room for more of our children who ought to attend regularly. The B. Y. P. U. is very helpful and is doing a good work. Come and help us make our B. Y. P. U. one of the great pulling powers for Christ in the church. Three joined the church at this service. A number of visitors were introduced to the congregation, among them Editor Kennedy of The Kansas City Advocate, who made some very interesting and helpful remarks.

Acts 13:18-52: There were 141 pupils present and the collection was $3.65. After the study of the lesson we assembled and listened to the report of the delegates to the State Sunday School convention which convened with us the 8, 9, and 10 of this month. Miss Audrey Holliday made an excellent report. Superintendent Robinson then told the Sunday School that he regretted very much that more interest in the convention was not shown by the members of this Sunday School when the opportunity to hear and discuss the important subjects pertaining to the Sunday School work was presented. He was very much discouraged because his efforts to make the Sunday School No. 1 were seemingly unappreciated.
