We serve a flag Which is to us white freedom's emphasis. Ah! one must love when truth and justice lag, To be a Negro in a day like this. To be a Negro in a day like this— Alas!

Though late in getting started, they have made the most enviable record, and as in previous campaigns, will surely go over the top.

A new Lodge at Netherlands, Mo. A new Court of Calanthe soon to be organized—Club already formed. G. C. Mr. A. W. Lloyd and G. L. B. F. Adams, organized Netherlands Lodge No—Saturday night December 14th with twenty-seven men. Three weeks ago G. L. B. F. Adams organized a Pythian Club at Netherlands, Mo., 208 miles from St. Louis, which developed into a New Pythian Lodge on the date mentioned above. This Lodge is composed of the leading citizens of the village of Netherlands—a rich cotton growing section of S. E. Missouri. Indications point to a most prosperous and successful Pythian Lodge in this thriving little village of some five or six hundred families of the race—all of whom are from the South. G. C. Mr. Lloyd has shown himself a master organizer in the institution of this Lodge. The work of conferring the several ranks of Knighthood was done solely by the Grand Lecturer, who completed the work within four hours and by direction of the Grand Chancellor installed the newly appointed officers. In connection with this work must be mentioned the name of Dr. W. S. Brakham, G. M. E. of the Grand Court of Calanthe who accompanied the G. C. from St. Louis and rendered invaluable service as G. M. E. and who also made a telling and inspiring address to the newly organized Lodge. Dr. Brakham is a loyal Pythian. He together with G. L. formed a Club for a Court of Calanthe which will be made a Court in the near future. Mr. Lloyd is still in S. E. Missouri for the purpose of forming one or two more Pythian Clubs. The slogan is "Over the Top" for Pythianism in Southeast Missouri. BUTTE, MONT.

As a member of this Church, she was devout and sincere. Her class leader was Jessie Wynn and some of the pastors during her membership were Revs. Crockett, Taswell, Chenneroth and Brown. 'My Sheep hear my voice' says the blessed Lord. So fourteen years ago, sister Allen heard God's voice calling her to a closer walk with Him, to live a holy life. Thereupon she reconsecrated to God to go in peace and sin no more. She renewed her command with God making it an everlasting one. Since that time she has lived a sinless life. She leaves behind to mourn her loss two sisters, two brothers, two sons, and six grandchildren as well as a host of relatives and friends. As a wife she was true to her husband; as a mother and grandmother she was devoted- loving-kind, giving her life as a sacrifice for family. October 12, she became sick and never recovered. She had just returned from Kansas City visiting her son. While in Kansas City the writer had the pleasure of administering to her spiritual needs. She gave him to understand that she did not expect to get well again. But she was ready to go. On returning she gave her family to understand that she was coming home to die. To meeting death with a perfect resignation. To her death was no terror. On Thursday morning about five o'clock after talking with her companion, she quietly went to sleep in Jesus not to be awakened again until the great judgment morning. --- TO THE PUBLIC. Mrs. S. E.

Owing to the fact that we are "Jim Crowed" in, or barred from the best theatres and moving picture houses in this city, we are more than pleased to welcome the re-opening of the New Vine Street Theatre under its present management, and especially since the manager, Mr. George W. K. Love, seems to understand and appreciate the needs of the people of this community. The external and internal improvements, the mellow lights, the soft strains of music which do not disrupt attention from what is being presented on the screen, but act as a subtle force contributing to the pleasure and delight of the patrons, all show that the manager has an innate artistic sense, and that he likewise appreciates the fact that the members of his audience have been endowed with the same capacities. Attending the theatre is very much like reading a good book. At the end or conclusion, one should feel that he has gotten something, in the way of pleasure or food for after-thought, out of what has been presented. And, if he does not have this feeling at the conclusion the author of the book or the play, as the case may be, has utterly failed in his purpose. As a people, we owe it to ourselves to enjoy the highclassed art of all the star actresses and actors in this country. If the "other fellow" denies us this privilege, there is nothing left to be done but to secure them for ourselves, or worse yet, to go without. We are often too easily satisfied. We often accept that which is not particularly pleasing to us without murmuring. This characteristic has been in keeping with the treatment we have been compelled to accept in other days. But, the time has now approached when we have a right to demand that which is best both in the field of labor and in pleasure. Mr. Love caters to all. He has comedy and fun for the fun-lovers, that which makes the jolly more jolly, and which acts as a balm to the tired and care-worn mind, bringing at least a temporary respite from the burdens that have oppressed during the day. He has melodrama and tragedy for those who like to fathom the deeper emotions, analysing human nature under the most trying circumstances. There is music for those who perhaps care more for this side of the programme. If, however, our patron be indifferent, then, there is a comfortable seat in a clean, spacious auditorium where he may sit unmolested as he shares in the delight of those about him. Whatever the idiosyncracies of the many different patrons may chance to be, I am confident that as long as Mr. Love presents such pictures as "The Unchastened Woman," "Almony," "A Daughter of the Gods," and Charlie Chaplin in "A Dog's Life," the theater lovers of this city will be found filling this large auditorium to capacity every evening. We appreciate and thank Mr. Love for this great and worthy effort. Signed, Mrs. J. Robert Williams. 2418 Vine St. The Negroes of Kansas City and the Western States are preparing to celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of the coming of their race to America, by giving here in Convention Hall an exposition of their accomplishments, on January 29, 1919. A local committee has been appointed to take charge of the arrangements of which Rev. Wm. H. Thomas is chairman, and it will be assisted by persons from the various large cities of the West. A publicity committee composed of Nelson C. Crews, Thomas Kennedy and C. A. Franklin, and a committee on exhibits with Rev. F. Jesse Peck as chairman, will assist the executive committee. The celebration is fortunate in having here at hand several groups of trained workers who will take the lead in the preparation of the exhibits. Rev. Peck is the president of one such group, Western University, at Quindaro, Kan. Women's work will play a prominent part in the exhibition. Both because of the new appreciation of the value of women in community life, and because Negro women have long contributed to industry, far more than other women, according to the U. S. census, this feature alone will justify the exhibition. The celebration idea is born of a resolution adopted by the bench of bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and the one to be held here will be representative of all the states in the Fifth Episcopal District of that Church. They are all the trans-Missouri states and their presiding bishop is Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks. Mrs. Neville's Corset customers can find her at her store at 1504 Troost Avenue.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. EDITORIALS. A MERRY CHRISTMAS, A HAPPY NEW YEAR AND DEATH TO THE "FLU" IS THE WISH OF THE KANSAS CITY SUN TO ITS THOUSANDS OF READERS Down in Tulsa, Okla., there is a fearless and courageous Negro, A. J. Smitherman by name, Justice of the Peace and Editor of the Daily and Weekly Star, who is doing real service for his race and community by vigorously and consistently fighting the crooks, thugs and loafers both within and without the race, and at the same time publishing the best Negro daily and one of the liveliest weeklies the race has yet produced. Keep up the good work, A. J. The people throughout the country who are watching your good work are with you. It's a burning shame that a Street Car Strike such as the present one, which has not only stagnated business during the holiday season but has possibly brought ruin to a great many firms, cannot be adjusted or controlled in a great city like this. The curse of politics is in it all. That the Negro will do his part in the Red Cross Campaign goes without saying, and it is hoped that this Campaign will not close without every honest, progressive and liberty loving Negro citizen having his name upon the Red Cross Christmas roll. The postponement of the Tag Day Campaign until Christmas Eve gives greater opportunity for a greater and more successful drive on behalf of an institution that is the pride of every Negro in the West Get ready to do your duty next Tuesday for our Hospital The only way that post-war conditions are going to be any better for the Negro is for him to begin now to practice frugality, sobriety and foresightedness upon a larger scale. The millennium wasn't included in the armistice terms. Every citizen who donated as much as one dollar is invited to participate in the annual meeting of the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Association. This ought to insure a big meeting of those who have shown so much interest in this big completed enterprise. Sergt. Leon H. Herriford of the 25th Infantry Regulars, stationed at Nogales, Arizona, has notified his parents that he will spend Christmas at home. Enroute he will visit his brother, Neal, who is attending the Arizona State University at Tucson. Sergt. Herriford is already billed for musical numbers on several holiday programs. The annual Christmas party of the Ivanhoe Club promises to be the big holiday event this year. It will be held at Labor Temple on the evening of Friday, December 27, and over three hundred selected guests will be invited. As a matter of formal piety, if nothing more, those who rise so early to attend Christmas morning services might omit the "tea" until they return home—or omit it altogether. Mrs. Minnie Jackson, wife of Mr. Tyler JJackson, 2531 Michigan avenue, passed away Wednesday at 1 a.m. The entire Church is in the deepest of sympathy with the bereaved husband, who is one of the pillars of Ebenezer and who loves his church as he does his home. Mrs. Jackson was also a devout member of Ebenezer and will be greatly missed. Special attention given to Rheumatic subjects. I HAVE THE EXPERIENCE.

Whereas the entire country has been visited by an epidemic worse than ever in its history, and whereas a strict ban has been placed on all public gatherings, schools, churches, societies, etc., thereby preventing most of our literary societies from holding their meetings and electing delegates and attending to the things so necessary to making the Inter-State a success, and whereas this the 7th day of December the Executive Committee in session to make its final arrangements for the 28th annual session, finds the epidemic still raging in many parts of the country, especially Kansas and Missouri, closing all schools for the second time and causing many annual meetings such as the State Teachers' Association to postpone their sessions for a year, and whereas the citizens of Wichita, where our 28th annual session was to have been held, on account of conditions prevailing there, and the uncertainty as to when conditions would change, unanimously voted to request the Executive Committee and officers of the I. S. L. A. to postpone this session for a year, and whereas it is the consensus of opinion of all leaders consulted that postponement is the best step to take, and whereas he Executive Committee held its first meeting, made arrangements and published the same in all the leading papers throughout its jurisdiction, mailed its circular letter and purchased its stationery, thereby incurring considerable expense, therefore be it resolved that all old societies be requested to send the annual fee of $1 to the corresponding secretary to meet these expenses, the remainder, if any, to be placed in the treasury. That on account of above mentioned reasons, the 28th annual session of the Inter-State Literary Association of Kansas and the West be postponed until December, 1919, the date to be fixed by the Executive Committee, and that a copy of these resolutions be given all our newspapers for publication in order that all societies may be informed of this action.

Acting Chairman A NEGRO'S FAITH IN AMERICAN JUSTICE. "I should be happy to have millions of colored soldiers over here fighting to preserve the dearest and highest valued thing on earth, to the nations of the world and to future generations—liberty. I would be more than happy to have them die, if need be, as a tangible expression of their determination that 'the government of the people, by the people, shall not perish from the earth.'" "I am not apprehensive of the future of my people in the States, for the free allied nations of the world will not condone America's past treatment of her colored citizens in the future; for shall we not have fought beside the best blood, the best white blood in all the world in the hollest war of all ages? Shall we not have shown that we are willing, nay, eager to pay, and pay dearly, in our blood for the right of the peoples of the earth to share equally in its blessings, to enjoy the same rights, to receive equal justice, to have a voice in their government by our blood contribution? So I go forward certain and sure that my people will share equally with the Armenian and the Serb in the fruits of the triumph of right over might and democracy over auctocracy. Death is nothing, for I love my race more than life itself." Lieut. O. E. McKaine, in the Southern Workman. KEEP NEGRO TROOPS OVERSEAS. Assignment for Early Return Home Has Been Canceled. Division (National Army, Negroes), for early convoy home has been canceled. In making this announcement today the War Department gave no explanation, but the assumption here is that the division has been selected as a reserve unit held to re-enforce the American Army of Occupation in Germany. DR. JENKINS GIVES HIGH PRAISE TO NEGRO TROOPS. Dr. Burris A. Jenkins addressed a large audience at Allen Chapel A. M. E. church Sunday night, on the subject "Our Boys," illustrating his talk with many incidents and events which occurred during his recent service with the Y. M. C. A. forces in France. "America is proud of her Negro troops," said Dr. Jenkins, "and you have the right to be mighty proud of your boys whom you have sent over there to fight for you and for America. There are no better troops anywhere than the Negroes. When they are told to take a certain position, there is nothing in the wide world that will stop them. They go over the top and they take that point and then they wait for further orders. That's discipline." Dr. Jenkins brought to the congregation of Allen Chapel many messages and greetings from boys who have left that church to fight. Some of them, he had seen personally, and promised to bring their greetings back to the "folks at home." The Sun is in receipt of $a$ communication from Corporal Floyd E.

He said "Charity is when a man kisses an old maid." The teacher left the room but decided not to spank the little fellow. —That a young woman received a box from her sweetheart marked "Don't open until Christmas" but so curious was she to know what the package contained that she decided to take a peep at the contents when lo and behold wrapped neatly in a large package of tissue paper was a bar of ivory soap.

I have been asked by many of my fellowmen and women my thoughts upon the "Declaration of Peace." My answer is thus— "When nations cease to rise against Nations," and "Capital against Labor," and the Giant Lynch Law" cease to crush the trembling souls from the Black man, when these Giant sons of perdition have been wiped out of existence to appear no more, then, "Peace" will begin to dawn upon the Horizon of Time." "The minds of the great personalities who rule the Nation should be controlled and governed by Divine mind and council. All leaders and Counsellors should be men of "God." "Think well upon the old Doctrine, First." "Seek Ye the Kingdom of Heaven" and its righteousness and all things shall be added. It is as true today, as when first preached by the Nazarine and heralded by the Galilee" Fishermen. For it made "Abraham" the father of the Hebrew Nation, "Moses" the Law Giver of Israel, "Daniel" the lion tamer, "David" the slayer of Giant Philistines Bragadocia, "Solomon" affluences in Dominion and it caused the sun to be caught by its bits and held in check, until the moon wrapped in the skirts of darkness, halted in the valley of "Apalon," until Victory crowned the brow of "Joshua." "These times are significant and Peace Councils are being held in all lands." "The Black man, the White man-Red man, Yellow man and Brown man must all come together teaching the Fatherhood of God." and the Brotherhood of man. Then, and not until then, will the "United States of America," United Kingdoms of Europe" and the Isles of the "Seas" join hands, and the Lamb and Lion will lie down together, swords will be beaten into Plough shares, spears into pruning hooks and nations will learn "War" no more. "The Birds will build their nests in the mouth of cannons and warble for their sweetest note, and little children will be found playing in the streets of the New Jerusalem." "For John's Panoramic View of the New Heaven and New Earth must soon be realized as we are living in the last days; so let us gird up our loins, be sober and wait for the com- Day s City and the NNIV OF THE First Negroes 1819 J the achievements an Rev.

Madame Walker's System THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1918 AMONG THE CHURCHES BAPTISTS FAIL TO AGREE. Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 13.—Special—Organic union between the National Baptist Convention (incorporated) and the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) will not obtain, and seems as far away this morning as it was in September, 1915, when they divided at Chicago, if the action of the joint Peace Commission which closed its session heer last night, is sustained by the respective conventions in their next annual sessions. During the deliberation of this joining commission that was held at the First Baptist Church (white), corner 7th avenue and Broadway, this city, intelligence, wit against wit, parliamentary tactics against parliamentary tactics, resourcefulness, elioquence against eloquence, and through it all it developed that the so-called "Little R. F. D. Baptists," through their commissioners representing the unincorporated National Baptist Convention, seemed to have won every point and came out more than victorious because of the superior generalship on the part of their leaders. Summing the proceedings up, it develops that the Morris faction, known as the incorporated Convention, was forced by their own action to bear the stigma of being a barrier to the peace that was proposed. Eloquent 'addresses were delivered by the following distinguished delegates in attendance: Drs. J. F. Thomas of Chicago, Ill.; Rev. O. R. Harper, President E. P. Jones, Rev. C. C. Caldwell, Rev. J. W. Hurse of Kansas City, Mo. GREENWOOD BAPTIST CHURCH GREENWOOD BAPSTIST CHURCH Our services Sunday were well attended, owing to the disagreement with the cars. Our pastor, Rev. G. T.
