PROF GRISHAM OF KANSAS CITY PLEASED WITH THE DOUGLAS LUNCHMEN OF ST. JOSEPH, MO. on Monday night Nov 19, 1900, at Norsham principal of the Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Mo., at the Douglas Excuse of the W M church, St. John Mo. delivered a scholarly lecture to a large audience of colored people. There were present the healing professional and business Negro man of St. Joseph. After the devotional exercises and the healing business of the System had been transacted lawfully, I H. Kelly a notorious pupil of Professor Gorshom introduced the lecture. Photographs of churches subject to the service of Mankind. He said that every Christian church was the center of the religion and that we have for the purpose of saving the soul and that the cause of good is the cause of the good or right of justice and of humanity. Who saved good in the highest sense of the world save men in the highest sense. and man makes a mistake by thinking he can serve God and evade justice to man. The great posts and painters, the railroad corporations, the packing houses, are doing invaluable service to mankind today we throw into our homes more movement than large buildings. But parts of higher society than in past years than in today have been so poor that people are living the last century. the best way is direct person I serve him at once or the O.K. and the Romans there a large army or men have been kept personal service to all mankind, but not like B. Hillman saw greatness of intuitiveness blossoming but not. We have real performances some individuals try to bring the world to themselves, but they are disappointed such were the Quakers and Puritans things became so serious that a man could not lose his wife on Sunday with our transgressing. And there are some good people who make the same mistake like trying to make young people old. We should give young folks a chance to enjoy themselves but not to turn them selves. The home should furnish such many wholesome plasures. Whenever the children do not find sufficient plasures at home they generally seek them some where else, then they go to rack and turn. This organization referring to the Douglas Lycium is a praiseworthy one. "If I were a person," said the speaker, "I would have also a social or organization and so save our young men and young women of St Joseph and of Kansas city." Men alone can not make a good social organization, they generally "ship down." A man is at his last only when he is in the presence of a good woman. When you cut them off, he is lost. Another way of serving mankind is by negative service. A great mass of the world is made up of individuals who are performing this service. Professor Groom then in a masterly style showing his wonderful powers as a human retainer to the businessmen of the race both white and black show me that motivation was another great in our daily service to mankind. to conclusion he said that the duties which content us in this city must be done by Negroes here. Every individual must be the center of life and progress. Soing so much has been done to us, we ought to show ourselves worthy of the self-marriage made. We had friends in by gone days and still have some. We must progress, even making alliances with those of the other race. Treat them kindly in even we suffer impunity. We have friends among them and we must cultivate their friendship especially in of the upper class. This class is not pabious or useless we have nothing for them to be pledges of. This organization is solving the problem. We must do our duty consequences we tools docto me ours. At the conclusion of the lecture the audience showed their appreciation by a prolonged applause, and thanked the speaker on a motion by Dr M O L jackets. A humane solo was performed by Miss Pearl Thompson Mrs I C. Goldwell presiding at the organ. After the benediction the large part of the crowd turned to the reinforcement hall where sandwiches were thrown and take were served. the Iverson has made rapid strides which is due to the uniting efforts of the pastor lay I.

KING, ATT'S FOR PLANITF. Attent. First published (Ocober 25th 1907) ANNOUNCEMENT. Many times in the past I have been asked by young men desiring to learn the profession of Pharmacy, who had not the necessary means nor time to take a collegiate course, if it is possible to learn Pharmacy by working in a drug store I have replied that under ordinary circumstances it is possible, but a very tedious and up-hill undertaking, especially for a colored man in a white man's store This expression of a desire to learn an honorable and profitable professional business, coming from so many, coupled with the great difficulty I have experienced in finding Pharmacists for my own store, has impressed me with the idea that a short, clear and concise course of Pharmacy could and should be placed within the reach of those young men or young women who may desire to pursue such a course, A number of these young men have requested that I take a class in practical as well as theoretical Phormaco, Chemistry, and Materia Medica, and with that object in view, I make this announcement. Any persons having a sufficient education to start such a course who may desire to enter this class will be given full information upon calling on me at my store, 921 Kansas Ave. ..The Topeka.
