We desire to take this opportunity of thanking our loyal patrons (advertisers and subscribers), for the generous and remarkable support they have given us, not only during the year, but especially during the past week. Without any boasting or sounding of trumpets, we have gone on patiently, honestly and earnestly trying to make the KANSAS CITY SUN what it should be, the representative Negro Journal of the West; and we believe, without egotism, that it compares favorably with the best Negro Journals published. It preaches courage, loyalty to country and race and demands for the Negro race equal and exact justice; but it is not foolishly incendiary or intemperate in any of its utterances. These are the principles that we believe will ultimately win for the black man those rights which by all rules of justice and fair play he is entitled to.
During the past week, our solicitors have brought in two hundred and sixteen new subscribers, an unusual thing for the last month in the year. We used in our last issue three times as much white paper as all the other Negro newspapers in greater Kansas City combined; we published two and a half times more advertising last week than all other Negro publications combined and we pay more at the Government post office for mall weekly than all other Negro publications greater Kansas City. We are not being in the record that can be verified by anyone desiring to do so. For twenty-three years the Sun has been published in this city and for twelve years under the personal supervision of the present management and may we be permitted to make the boast that we have not only kept faith with our patrons but WE HAVE NEVER MISSED AN ISSUE IN ALL THESE YEARS.
Next week will be our banner edition of the year. We shall publish an original poem by Jas. D. Carruthers, entitled "At the Closed Gate of Justice"; Forty Years in Kansas City, by that most brilliant of Negro Educators and a writer of National fame, Prof. J. Dallas Bowser; "The Beauty of Capitular Masonry" by Prof. R. T. Coles, Past Grand Master; "Watchman, What of the Night," by Nahum D. Bratcher, of the Negro Associated Press; by the Republican Party and the Negro in 1920 by that fearless writer now in Washington where he has a first hand knowledge of what's going on, Prof. J. Slas Harris; "Are the Negro Schools of Kansas City keeping pace with the whites" by Prof. Wm H. Bowley, Jr. a poem, "The Negro," by Charles Bertram Johnson whose writings have attracted much attention recently while our permanent staff of correspondents, Mrs. E. O. Boone of Maryville; B. V.

Square Deal Oil and Gas Company Resumes Active Operation, Both in the Field and in the Sale of Stock
About sixteen months ago the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company finished drilling its third well. At that time, on account of the war, the smallness of its capitalization, the scarcity of labor and a few other minor reasons; it ceased active operation until these abnormal causes were over and its capital increased.
On the 21st of October, 1919, the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company, after duly qualifying and complying with all the rigid laws of the State of Missouri, was granted by the Secretary of State, an increase capitalization from $20,000 to $99,000.
Immediately after the increase was granted, the company set out to arrange to connect up its oil wells and place its oil on the market. Tanks were ordered, a new pump and engine were ordered, a field man was hired; in fact, everything has been attended to that will enable the Company to place its oil on the market.
At the regular December meeting of the Board of Directors of the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company, the following officers were elected: Samuel R. Hopkins, President and General
The competent and efficient Secretary and Treasurer of the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company, Inc., and also of the Square Deal Realty and Investment Company. Mr. Oden is a member of Graham Lodge, No. 85, A. F. & A. M. and also a member and staunch supporter of Allen Chapel.
Manager: Albert A. Groves, Vice-President and Assistant General Manager; William Moss, Second Vice President; M. E. Oden, Secretary and Treasurer; Ben H. Payne, Chairman of the Board of Directors: C. H. Fowler, Director; C. H. Purnell, Director; Dennis Seals, Director and William Bluford, Director.
Mr. Samuel R. Hopkins, President and General Manager of the Company, is one of the most prudent, able and successful business men in Kansas City. He is by nature a promoter and financier. Mr. Hopkins is ably assisted in the management of the affairs of the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company by one of the most competent scribes and accountants in the West in the person of Mr. M. E. Oden, who is Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.
About 39,000 shares of stock is now placed on the market. A limited amount of these shares will be sold for $3.00 per share. The Company is arranging and hopes to pay a dividend of at least 10% to its stockholders real soon. When this is done, Square Deal Stock will have advanced greatly in its cost per share.
It has been stated by some of our best posted investors that Square Deal Oil and Gas Stock is one of the best and most safe investments offered to the Negroes of Kansas City. According to conditions now, there is NO way for this company to fail. It is just a matter of time and each of their stockholders will be receiving "fat" dividends.

When this Company was being form
ed, a few narrow-minded Negroes of Kansas City said it could not be done; after it was organized, the same feeble minded people said that this Company never would raise enough money to drill a well; after sufficient money was raised to drill three wells they said they would squander the money and would never drill a well; after they drilled three wells and secured a nice production of oil they said that the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company did not have it; when the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company applied to the State for an increase capitalization, they said they could not qualify for it. Many of these "never amount to much prophets" even went so far as to say that the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company had failed. All of these base and unfounded statements against this Company have been disproven. The Company has been or organized; it has raised enough money to drill three wells; it did not squander the money raised, but drilled the three wells and has a proof a nice production of oil. It has qualified and has been granted its increase from $20,000 to $99,000. It is connecting its wells and it will soon pay its stockholders a nice dividend just the same as it has done everything else it has promised its stockholders it would do. There is no way for this Company to fail now. Every Negro in Kansas City great or small that has the least particle of race blood in his veins should buy at least a few shares of Square Deal Oil Stock. It marks an era in the financial undertakings of the Negro in Kansas City. It proves to the world that the Black Man is fully able, without the leadership and assistance of the White man to finance and operate big business enterprises the same as any one else.
Every statement made in this article is backed up by the Company and proof of same will be readily submitted to any one on request.
Now is the time to buy Square Deal Oil Stock in a substantial way. One investing his money in this Company simply is placing it where he will, in the near future receive great returns. A few dollars invested in Square Deal Stock may mean prosperity and happiness the rest of your days. One should not pinch off and buy only a few shares of this stock but they should go their "positive limit" while they can get it at $3.00 per share.
Remember—the more shares you own the larger your dividends will be! For further information concerning this wonderful investment, call, wire or write. Square Deal Oil and Gas Company, 1315 East 18th street, Kansas City, Missouri. Phones Bell, Grand 317, Home, Main 3963.
A BRUTAL CRIME
James Hightower, an ex-convict, 37 years of age of Independence, Moe, was sentenced by a jury Tuesday, to five years in the penitentiary for assault on a little girl twelve years of age, named Nettie Neal. He enriched the child to a box car in the Missouri Pacific yards where she was assaulted by the fellow and left unconscious and dangerously injured where she was found by some passersby. Hightower was arrested by Chief of Police Harris Nealy of Independence, and J. J Mattjy, probation officer of Jackson County. The girl was attended by Dr. E. M. Phenix who made a splendid witness in the prosecution of the case. The prosecution was also ably assisted by Hon. Charles H. Callaway, one of our foremost young attorneys who in the interest of justice and decency served without pay and his arraignment of the defendant before the jury was one of the most scathing deencrements that has ever been heard in the criminal court of this country. While we have no criticism for the jury, yet we are satisfied that if it had been a Negro jury or if it had been a white child, this culprit would have received nothing less than 98 years in prison. Again Officer Matt joy scores.
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
If you've a gray haired mother
In the old home far away;
Sit down and write the letter
You put off the other day.
Don't wait until her weary steps
Reach heaven's pearly gates;
But show her that you think of her
Before it is too late.
If you've a tender message,
Oh a loving word to say;
Don't wait until you forget it,
But whisper it today.
Who knows what little memories
May haunt you if you wait;
So make those you love happy
Before it is too late.
The tender words unspoken,
The letters never sent;
The long forgotten message,
The wealth of love unspent;
For these some hearts are breaking—
For these some loved ones wait;
Show them that you care for them
Before it is too late.
HON ELMER A. SHACKLEFORD.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for Wyandotte County Kansas and the most aggressive young Attorney of that state. Mr. Shackleford has served in this capacity for one year and so splendidly has he filled this lofty position that the people of Wyandotte County, both black and white have nothing but praise to say of him. Not only should his people of that County be proud of having among them such a deserving and capable young man but the entire race should bend every effort to produce more young men like him.

A REMARKABLE WOMAN.
Perhaps no woman dependent upon her own resources in this city has achieved such wonderful success during the past three years as has Mrs. Peebles, Mrs. and Mrs. Nelson C. Crews
For sixteen years Mrs. Heuston kept furnished rooms and apartments in this city, the most recent at 1206 Highland Avenue, which she sold a few weeks ago for a splendid sum in cash and since that time, she has been devoting her entire attention to Christian Science healing having recently finished a class of instruction in which she was the only Colored member and was declared absolutely capable to carry on the work successfully of a Christian Science Practitioner. During the San Francisco Exposition, Mrs. Heuston lived in that city, and her beautiful home there was the mecca for Kansas Citians attending the Exposition and the Editor yet remembers how lavishly and handsomely he and Mr. George W. K. Love were entertained there during their two-weeks' visit at the Exposition. Mrs. Heuston now owns the home at 1221 Garfield Avenue which without question the most beautifully finished and modern equipped residence owned by our people in this city. It consists of twelve rooms, closets, sleeping porch, wide hallways, beautiful carved staircasing and the plate glass windows and stained glass effect alone cost many hundreds of dollars. In her home is located the Sixth Church of Christ Science which under the leadership of Dr. Perry, C.S.P., has had a wonderful growth during the past year occupying the spacious double parlors on the first floor while to the left is a large reading room elegantly furnished, the whole capable of seating two hundred people. It is no disparagement to other churches to say that this is one of the neatest, most attractive and best equipped church and congregation in this City.
Mrs. Heuston who for many months after her return from California was an invalid, turned her attention to Christian Science and by devout study and application, became convinced that its teachings had power to heal all markand both physically and spiritually and now she possess the most robust health which she attributes to the kindness and the graciousness of Almighty God. That she will succeed in her work as a Christian Science Practitioner, goes without saying and The Sun compliments her upon the remarkable success she has single handed and alone achieved for God, her Church, and herself.

CHICAGO WELCOMES YOU.
CHICAGO WELCOMES YOU.
Chicago, Dec. 17—The National Convention of the Republican Party will hold its next convention in Chicago, beginning Tuesday, June 8, 1920. It will be the fifth consecutive time that the greatest of all conventions has met here, and undoubtedly, it will be the most notable, 1908 and 1912 not excepted. The greatest issues ever brought before the American people will be enunciated in the famous Coliseum next June. The Republican party will be forced, by the impelling demands of the times, to declare itself unmistakably on the great principles of justice, manhood rights and economic progress.
Ever since the National Convention of 1904 the Colored citizen, as a real factor in national conventions, has been slipping. He has answered "present" in large numbers, but he has actually been, more than less, "persona non gratu," and it has been a pity to observe the way many of the big white leaders have played hide and seek with him around the Congress hotel.
It will be remembered that in 1896, when the master political leaders, Marcus A. Hanna, of Cleveland, was engineering the political fortunes of William McKinley, of Canton, O., our leaders were the real forces in the St. Louis convention. Mr. Hanna had implicit confidence in George A. Myers, proprietor of the well-known Hollendere Barber Shop, of Cleveland, and Mr. Myers handled the "brother" in Napoleon Bonaparte fashion. In 1900, in Baltimore, Harry S. Cummings, a member of the City Council of Baltimore, leaped into the limelight by being selected to second and the second nomination of President McKinley at Philadelphia convention. That was the last of the real public recognition by the G. O. P. As proof of our "slipping," it will be recalled that John R. Lynch, of Mississippi, was selected as temporary chairman of the national convention in 1884, in Chicago. Can you imagine a citizen of our group being selected to such an honorary place in 1920? "Then was wonderful days."
In 1912, the last Colored National Committeeman, Hon. Judson Lyons, former registrar of the U. S. Treasury, was given the bounce, and since that day none of the ebony blood has graced the sacred portals of the party's interim factotums, Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi gave them a terrible scare, however, in St. Louis. The majority of the "old guard," such as Crum and Vance and Brown—have gone to their reward—which we hope is more than they got from the G. O. P.—but there are " still some few 'remaining' —Lewis, Dancy, Tyler, Andrews, Cohen, et al., but they are getting "slow of step."
There is a new day, and a new generation, and a new group of young political stalwarts who, wise to the past, skeptical of the present and deeply concerned with the future, are going to ask for a real old fashioned showdown in the year of Our Lord, 1920. They have sentiment, and they, also, have sense, and they are saying that the old, ancient and honorable talk about the "Negroes' debt to the Republican party" doesn't mean a tinker's dam to them, and hasn't a thing to do with Fourth of July. The thing they wish to know, and know indeed is: "Where do we come in?" That's what they are going to find out. And in that list are such "good fellows" and brave as "Bob" Church, Perry Howard, Emmett Scott, "Jimmy" Cobb, Roscoe Simmons, Lew, Johnson, "Tom" Fleming, Lee Godman, George Harris, Alex Martin, Joe Jones, "Billy Hueston", R. L. Vann, Wm. Warley, Chas. Muse, Currence Starks, W. L. Porter, Oscar DePreist, "Bob" Jackson, "Lew" Anderson, Fred Roberts, J. M. Well, and a few thousand others who say "the hour has struck." So you see there will be something in Chicago.
The first big show of this "new regime" will be pulled off in Chicago, Lincoln's birthday, February 12. Lincoln's birthday, when the Lincoln League, Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, president, will hold a national session. It has been announced that not only will the great of our group from every section be on hand, but that great economic, industrial and political leaders of the other group, including no less than three United States senators and two sure enough governors, will be here, and have their say about human rights and Americanism. 1920 brand.
Chicago will have "Welcome" on the door for both the big gatherings as only Chicago can have it. The visitors will see a new Chicago, in keeping with the principles it is hoped the G. O. P. will endorse and carry out in the party platform. In political progress and commercial achievement Chicago will have revelations. The most up-to-date business places, the finest hotels, the most beautiful club homes, the most luxurious residences on the finest thoroughfares in the world, and the glad hand of hospitality—sans the old stuff with a kick—will be turned over for the edification and enjoyment of the visitors.
And the final big wonder is: Who stacks up best to "Carry on. Carry on," as National Chairman Will H. Hays, of Hoosierdom says, who is the best to take up his residence on Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, March 1921. That's the rub. The list is long and interesting; Frank O. Lowden of Illinois; Col. Marshall and Col. Johnson will say: "Leonard Wood, of the American Army"; says Maj. John R. Lynch, and he says it with the enthusiasm of a yearning: Governor Coolidge, of Massachusetts; Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, Senator Poindexter of Washington, Senator Watson and Governor Goodrich of Indiana—of course Indiana but with plenty—Nicholas Murry Butler of New York, who really told the Republican party "the Lord's truth" in Philadelphia, each, all are honorable men.
THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 20. 1919.
"But where we come in?" ask the chorus of young heroes of the new world wide society of "Children of the Sun." That's a fair question, and believe us, if you will talk with this "gang" face to face, and one by one, there will be no question in the mind but what "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" will be known, backwards and forwards, upwards and downwards, crosswards and sidewards, overwards and underwards, when the big bell rings—"DING."

THE INTER-CITY LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF KANSAS AND THE WEST
Twenty-Eighth Annual Meeting, Wichita, Kansas, December 29, 30 and 31, 1919.
Mrs. Willa Dwiggins, President, Kansas City, Kansas.
Mrs. W. W. Caldwell, Corresponding Secretary, 2432 Vine street, Kansas City, Mo.
Prof. Jos. L. Bowler, Chairman Executive Committee. 2413 Goode avenue St. Louis, Mo.
Three immense centuries—three hundred terrible but expressive years pregnant with the striving of a repressed people—have spent themselves. Therefore, it is particularly important that at this point we should pause, reflect, and survey by detailed inquiry the long drear past. For is not an idealized past a refuge and a soace of the spirit? Our group, above all, must not lose a consciousness of those sacred values which are born with tradition. Some notion, more or less clear and explicit, of our contribution to society, crossed and blurred most assuredly by an ignorant depreciation of our people, is needed as an anchorage of our faith. We live, we struggle, and we fight, but men revile us, because they are blinded by the passion of hate. Baseless charges of every description, founded on an imperfect knowledge of us and an inability to perceive our deeper qualities must give place to the unyielding persistence of the type of men and women who make up the Inter-State Literary Association.
Our Association convenes at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Wichita, Kansas, December 29, 30, 31. We hope to make this session the greatest and largest meeting of our existence, for this is our Tercentenary celebration. Is this not worthy of your support? Share with us the joys and the responsibilities of this venerable institution. The Executive Committee has planned many innovations. A special essay contest will be held, and a prize of $5.00 is offered for the best paper limit (1000 words) on "Effects of Slavery on the American Colored Man." Manuscripts must be in the hands of the Secretary not later than December 15. Prizes will be offered, as usual, for original music, Declaration, Poetry and Oratory. The presidents of the Race Colleges in the Missouri Valley will be present and address the meeting.
RULES: Literary Societies, Art Clubs, Church Choirs and other uplift organizations are eligible for representation.
Representation consists of three members and three alternates from each society, which may have one number on program. Papers will be limited to ten minutes.
Program numbers should be in the hands of the Corresponding Secretary by December 1st.
FEES: Societies representing in 1917 will pay the usual fee of $1.00; new societies, $1.50. Board and lodging may be had at minimum prices.
If you have no literary society, organize one.
Mr. E. J. Hawkins of Fort Scott, Kansas, has been elected State Lecturer. The following subjects will be discussed:
1. The advent of Pro-Americans.
2. Slavery and its sorrows—lesson: good or bad.
3. War: Its revelations.
4. First Reconstruction—its Advantages; was Franchise a Mistake?
5. The 2nd Reconstruction: New Vision of race
6. Future: Challenge.
For further information, address: Mrs. W. W. Caldwell, 2432 Vine street, Kansas City, Missouri.

PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST
CHURCH.
Rev. George McNeal. Pastor.
We began the day with our usual Sunday morning prayer service with a very good attendance....The Mission Circle met at 10:00 a.m. with Mrs. H. D. Scott in the chair. The meeting was a success....The morning service was conducted by Rev. Locke who preached a very fine sermon....The Sabbath School was very well attended and the officers and teachers were all in their places....The Sunday School presented the church with a very fine clock, which was needed very bad....We had our convenient meeting at 3 o'clock and a glorious meeting was had. At 8 o'clock we observed the Lord's Supper. This service was well attended. The evening service was conducted by the pastor who preached us a very fine sermon indeed. We have nine candidates for baptism....The B. Y. P. U. held a very interesting and instructive service and much interest was shown in the topic discussed....The Choir will render a very elaborate program December 21 at:30 p.m. to which the public is invited. The Pastor's Aid Society gave him some very handsome lace curtains for his new home....Every member is to be taxed $1.00 on the 4th Sunday. We let all attend.

KING SOLOMON BAPTIST
CHURCH.
The Sunday School was opened at the usual hour with a splendid attendance. The Superintendent, Wm. Warfield was in charge and after a few brief remarks by him we raised a very splendid offering. There was quite a few visitors present at this service and we hope that they will continue to attend, as we have a splendid choir of teachers who spare no pain in trying to see that the visitors are made to feel that they are welcome. Our mornings preaching service is always grand and the pastor always brings something that we all enjoy. Come out at 11 o'clock and hear this grand speaker deliver the message and enjoy a real spiritual feast. This is indeed a wonderful service. Visitors and friends are always welcome as this is the strangers home. Immediately after the morning service we have the Home and Foreign Mission meeting under the able leadership of the President, Sister Lue H. Nelson, Vice-President, Sister L. A. Wilson and Secretary, Sister D. Warfield. This branch of the church is doing a great work. The B. Y. P. U. gives a program every from John 5th chapter and the 30th verse. We are indeed sorry to hear of the sickness of Sister Mattie Edwards and pray that she soon recovers. The Choir rehearsed at the home of the President, Mr. Jesse W. Porter, 814 N. 3rd street last Wednesday evening. We held one of the best rehearsals that we have had for a long time as there were so many present. The Sunday School, B. Y. P. U. and the Mission Circle each donated five dollars to Africa, where she will go in the very near future as a missionary. The members of King Solomon bid her Gods speed and shall pray for her success in the dark continent and hope that she may be instrumental in bringing many lost souls to Christ. The contributions for the day were very good and the attendance also was very good. The service rendered by the choir, under the leadership of Mr. Porter, was excellent. We wish to invite the public to our services assuring you that you will enjoy the services and be benefitted.

The church will hold its meeting during the three winter months in the Knights of Tabor Hall....The Sunday School convened at the usual hours but all of the officer were present. The bad weather has caused our attendance to fall off and we wish to urge the parents to see that their children attend. The parents must realize that the Sunday School

"WILSON'S MISSILES"
Fault finding is one of the drearest pets a person can humor. It is a mance to society and a destroyer of self. How many of us if it were possible would get a false notion of our standing among friends? How many would like to know what is being said about us behind our back. If we did know; one day we would go around in a glow of self esteem and the next burdened under a miserable load of self disgust and hurt. There are persons considered wise that find most to laugh at in strangers, hoot at scandal and have a way of ridiculing the slightest errors in others. It is to be considered from the source it came. But the person who stands as a guiding light to help in the time of sorrow and daily walks to be guilty of such an act is more than sad. True worth my friends does not exult in the faults and deficiencies of others. True retinement even though it may turn aside from grossness and deformity does not indulge in an unmany triumph over it, real power, real Christianity does not fear contamination from coming in contact with the things that are sordid and homely. And why? Because it reposes on its self and is equally free from all envy and affection. There are hundreds of people who's delight is in speaking evil of others. We can understand how a boy who has never been taught different might carry torpedoes around in his pocket and delight to throw them down at the feet of passersby to see them bound and explode; but we cannot understand how any deep thinking, well instructed person could do such a thing. And yet are persons who carry torpedoes all through their lives and delight to throw them at people. They will say I know ill of that person and they at once proceed to tear down the influence of struggling one. If remonstrated with, they will say it is true as if that justified the act. Little thinking that if our Heavenly Father would take all the things true of us, cast them to the winds that they might back upon our own forgetful past, how miserable we would be. By the law of justice and mercy no one should be ridiculed for their imperfections "For if we must bear our neighbors forections to cast nine eyes upon tine own said the greatest of teachers." The greatest of all faults is to believe you have none. Little minds ignore their own faults and carpets their own faults and are largely compassionate toward their inferiors. Beecher says "When the absent are spoken of some speak gold of them, some silver, some lead and some dirt! but shall I use the slangy phrase of others." "When speaking of your neighbors faults pray don't forget your own. Remember those with homes of glass should never throw a stone. If we have nothing else to do but talk of those who sin, 'tis better far we commence at home and from that point begin. We have no right to judge a man until he is fairly tried, if we don't like his company we know the world is wide. Some have faults and those who have not the old as well as young, perhaps we may for all we know have fifty to their one. I'll tell you of a better plan and I find it works full well, to try our own defects to cure before on others tell. So let us all when we commence to slander friend or foe just thing of the harm one word may do to those we little know. Remember curses sometimes like our chickens roost at home. "Friends" don't speak of others faults until we have none of our own."

WARD CHAPEL.
By Percy Webb.
The beautiful weather last Sunday greatly increased the attendance at both the morning and evening services. In the morning Dr. Horsey, the pastor, preached a sermon that his many hearers pronounced excellent, taking for his text "Gain that is Loss," from St. Luke 12:13-21. From the text we learned that God so wonderfully has blessed us enabling us to go about our daily toils and each day giving us more strength that we might not forget to "Preach as we Go" and give praises unto His name....Sunday was Special Effort day and every member put forth an effort to assist. Total collections for the day $232.40. Sunday only marks another one of Ward's Victories won....Prof. J. R. E. Lee talked to us concerning the campaign for the Y M. C.

able service as Secretary. The School indeed missed its Superintendent, Sister Ella Christian, an unitting worker, who has been ill the past week. . . . Our eleven o'clock Prayer service preceded the splendid sermon by our pastor, following this Gospel Message, Brother Eugene Miller favored us with the beautiful solo "Christ Is All in All." Brother Miller's expression is wonderful, he sings right into the heart of his hearers. We are always glad to have Brother Miller and wife worship with us...Our Brother and friend, Rev. C. C. Calloway came to us in our three o'clock service and delivered the Gospel to us as the Holy Spirit gave him utterance. The subject of his discourse was "The Debt of Power."...The church membership was out in full bloom at our evening service. Mighty works can be done through prayer, that is why the Southern Baptist Church is succeeding. After the evening prayer service, our beloved pastor, Rev. J. H. Brooks, endowed with the Holy Spirit, used these words for the theme of his discourse: "Loose My Feet and Let Me Run." Step by step we were led into the deep riches of God's mercies, the result of which was an out-pouring of God's love. The Mission Circle lead by the pastor, went out to do real mission work Monday night by having its service at 5th and Lydia in a home that asked for prayer, our effort was blessed with the visitation of the spirit and a resolve to attend church. . . . Come feast with us Sunday. Come praying, you are welcome.

JIM CROWED AFTER DEATH.
Hearse Refused to Colored Woman in Oklahoma.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public the following extracts from a letter showing that discrimination against colored people does not end with death:
"Sunday, November 16, I attended a funeral at Vintna, Oklahoma. The undertaker would not hire his hearse to the lady as they do not allow Colored people to use the same hearse that white people ride in. The one they have been using for colored people has worn out, therefore she sent to Chetopa, Kansas, and hired one."

FORCE BILL FOR SOUTH WOULD
CUT DOWN VOTE.
Senator Moses Introduces Measure to Compel Section to Grant Suffrage Or Give Up.
Washington, D. C.-Senator George H. Moses, of New Hampshire, has introduced a resolution calling for the appointment of a committee of five members of the House and five members of the Senate to investigate and report before July 1st, next, upon the entire question of whether citizens are persistently denied the right of suffrage in the Southern States, and to recommend legislation for the decrease of the representation in Congress from those States should it be found that the right to vote has been denied.
The South, which was in control of Congress during the war with Germany, and restricted the price of the farmer's wheat, while it did not restrict the price of the planter's cotton, bases its representation, as other sections do, upon population, over twenty-one years of age. If a large part of that voting population is denied the suffrage because of color, or otherwise, the South is not entitled to its present representation.
In commenting upon his Resolution, Senator Moses said that he had been much impressed by the sudden accession of political virtue demonstrated, by the grand jury at Grand Rapids, where a partisan Department of Justice, in an expire hearing, had produced a flock of indictments in connection with the last Senatorial Election in Michigan. "It is refreshing," Senator Moses said, "to observe the tremendous enthusiasm of the Democratic party for purity in elections, and it would be a great pity to allow this divine afflatus to subside without deriving its full benefit for the entire country. The corruption of the Michigan electorate—if any occurred—is most distressing. But it is no more distressing than suppression of the electorate in the Southern States, which is so notorious as to require no evidence to be adduced. However, it is desirable to establish all the facts surrounding elections not only in Michigan, but elsewhere, in order that the purity of the personnel of Congress, in both branches, may be protected against the presence of men who hold their seats in contravention of statutory or constitutional privileges. The inquiry into Senator Newberry's title to his seat will not be permitted to go forward alone. There are many ineresting facts far removed from Michigan which may be brought out helpfully in this connection, and I shall use my best efforts to see that this is done."

of Mrs. William Beasley, was a decided success despite the many obstacles that arose, the inclementity of the weather and the deficult of characters. The play was intelligently rendered before an appreciative audience. Through the kindness of Prof. J. R. E. Lee the auditorium was donated as this was a benefit program. After all expenses were paid the net proceeds were $15.00 which purchased sheets that were turned over to Miss Grady the matron of the Home for Orphans.

WHAT GREAT MEN AND SCHOLARS HAVE SAID OF THE BIBLE
By Mrs. Rosetta B. Green.
(The writer feels that it is her peculiar mission as an ambassador of Christ to magnify the Bible. She wants you, dear reader, to find the same beauty and joy in the Book of Books that she has found.
No. 1.
One of the sweet old chapters, . . .
After a day like this;
The day brought tears and trouble,
The evening brings no kiss.
No rest in the arms I long for
Rest and refuge and home;
Grieved and lonely and weary.
Unto the Book I come.
One of the sweet old chapters—
The love that blossoms through
His care of the birds and lillies
Out in the meadow dew.
His evening lies soft around them;
There faith is simply to be,
O, hushed by the tender lesson,
May God let me rest in thee.
HIS DEBUT AS A TOREADOR.
JACK JOHNSON BECAME A BULL
FIGHTER IN MEXICA CITY
YESTERDAY.
City of Mexico, Dec. 15.—Jack Johnson, toorader premier.
By such auspices title is the former heavy weight boxing champion of the world being hailed in Mexico. Lil Arthur made his debut in the bull ring yesterday before a huge crowd. He scored a technical knockout over two large bulls after a real fight and during which he was felled twice, almost for the count. He proved himself an able jumper on two occasions by clearing the high wall of the enclosure with an enraged toro's horns close to his anatomy.
Butted over the fence but not out, Johnson returned to the arena of the bull ring and successfully completed his debut as toorader by knocking out the bull. Then, to prove that the victory was no fluke, the ex-champion flattened a second bull.
**Bull Didn't Wait For the Bell.**
Johnson's social triumph nearly ruined him before the bouts ever began.
Entering the ring, he ran smack into a tumult of cheering and hand clapping so overwhelming that he strode across the sands to the boxes of the aristocracy, paused, posed, and then bowed deeply. Someone selected this exact moment to open the gate of the bullpen, whereat Johnson's adversary, unknown to the negro, plunged blindly across the arena. The impact of the bull's forehead striking Johnson in the rear knocked him up onto the rail of the boxes.
"Foul! foul!" yelled Johnson, clamoring back into the arena, where the bull was now safely corraled by two Mexican picadores.
Made Johnson Cry For Help.
Then the bout began. The bull jumped at Johnson. The negro tried to step aside, but too late, and the bull butted him in the solar plexus, whereupon Johnson and bull went down in a tangle, the negro clinging to the bull's horns and yelling to the picadores for help.
In the end the picadores practically finished the bull by exploding charged darts under the hide of its flanks. The animal thus distressed was easy for Johnson, who walked boldly up and planted his stick between its shoulders for the knockout.
By this time Johnson's white silk shirt, duck trousers and white shoes were covered with gore and the debris of the bull ring, but he insisted on fighting another bull. The second one drew the color line, however, refusing to charge even when the picadores gashed its flanks, and Johnson's victory was mere butchery.
Mrs. Johnson Saw the Fights.
The negro's white wife, with whom he fled from a prison sentence in Chicago several years ago, occupied a ring-side box. In accordance with the ancient toreadore's custom, the negro entered the ring wearing a bright cape, which he presented to her with plenty of flourish.—Monday's Star.
