McAdame, principal of Lincoln High school for the success of the entertainments The graduating exercises were nicely arrahed and largely attended. The two graduates, Miss Crouch and Miss Vickers delivered excellent orations, but the principal feature of the evening was the presentation speech by Dr. B. F. Allen, president of Lincoln Institute, who presented the diplomas. Dr. Allen took up the race issue and discussed it from all view points; especially did he emphasize the moral and economical view point of the Negro. It was said by both white and colored that Dr. Allen is one of the best speakers and thinkers of the race, and without hesitation he is the right man in the right place, and that his excellency, Gov. Majors and his board regeants are to be congratulated and are highly endorsed by the best thinking Negroes of the state for retaining such a talented scholar as Dr. B. F. Allen at the head of this great school for the Negro boys and girls. This was Dr. Allen's first visit to Springfield and it is a memorable one for many reasons. Dr. Allen was the honored guest of Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Hardrick while in the city. The hostess spared no pains in making everything pleasant for the president. Tuesday Prof. McAdams and Rev.

Miss Denning responded in a very fitting manner and her speech is long to be remembered. Dr. Allen was introduced, and complimented the club on their noble aim. At 7:45, the president, in company with Rev. Harvey, Rev. Harris and Prof. McAdams, were dinner guests of Mrs. Fred Williams There they met with a splendid prepared supper—such as Mrs. Williams can fix. This family deserves much credit for their splendor. From there to the A. M. E. parsonage, where Dr. Allen met his little name-sake, B F. A. Harvey and his mother, to his delight. Dr. Allen spoke in the highest term of Rev. Harvey as a coming young man. On Tuesday night, May --- 26, the Alumni of Springfield, at the Benton Avenue A. M.

He also praised Prof. W. H. McAdams, principal of Lincoln school, for the many excellent graduates turned out from Springfield in the last 34 years and that they all stand high at Lincoln. The Committee spared no pains in making this the greatest banquet ever held in Springfield, with cut glass, silverware, cut-flowers and many other beautiful decorations.

Building to Be Completed—Ten Thousand Negroes View the Parade and Over Two Thousand Men March to Sacred Music Rendered By Five Bands. Colossall! This word does not begin to evoke the great crowds that viewed the parade and who took part in the magnificent ceremonies which characterized the corner stone Jaying last Sunday. It was a day of days for the Negroes of Kansas City. Here a thousand hopes were to be realized, and the long struggle of many years were to terminate in a structure which now stands in the simple granduer of concrete strength but will latter on grace the community with an imposing architectural beauty that will incite admiration and lift the natural pride of an industrial and self-sacrificing people. At two o'clock, the bands, uniformed ranks and subordinate lodges began to mobilize in the vicinity of 15th and Woodland. At 2:30, the various orders composing a gorgeous nageant, moved West on 15th street, which was thronged with thousands of spectators, turned South on Forest avenue in 17th and proceeded East on 17th through one of the most densely settled Negro districts of the city. Men, women and children flew to porches, balconies and every available place which afforded a better view of the magnificent parade. Upon reaching the Paseo the course was then southward to the site of the Y. M. C. A. building. A stirring feature of this grand movement was that each band upon approaching the sunken garden at 18th and Paseo struck up that militant Christian aid, "Onward Christian Soldiers." Assembled about the building in its immediate envirens, were close to 10,000 anxious beings awaiting the climax of one of the grandest movements ever started for the benefit of any race. The whole Paseo be tween 18th and 19th, soon became a throng with here a squad of mounted police, there a band, here a uniform rank of note, with dashing plume and flashing sword, there a military company neat, erect, trim and round all, a happy patient expectant well behaved crowd of towns men and visitors. At 3:30 p. m., chairman H. O. Cook introduced ex-Mayor H. M. Beardsley who spoke briefly of the significance of the great affair. His speech was powerful, earnest and noble. He was followed by Dr. J. E. Moreland, who in a few well chosen remarks, thanked the people of Kansas City for their indication of Christianity. The collection was taken while the band furnished appropriate music. F. J. Hawkins of Kansas, G. M., J. I. Thompson of Iowa collectors. In conclusion, the excellent and rich ceremony of cornerstone laying was conducted of G. M., N. C Crews and R. T. Cole's Lodge A complete history of the Y. M. C. A movement in Kansas City, including the names and the amount subscribed and toward the erection of the building and even the names and the amount paid this day, as well as well as the emblems of the various lodges were deposited in the stone. The ceremony was carried out with solemnity and great credit to the officers of the conducting Masonic lodges. Although financially, the amount, $223.97 was short of what some had expected from such a large crowd, there were conditions when considered will easily explain this result. In the place, there were nearly 1200 persons who had paid their obligations in full and only made small contributions at this time, then too, rain scattered the crowd just as the collection was being taken and then the jam was so great that it was impossible to reach many. But there were results which outweighed by far any financial considerations. For instance, it was the largest gathering of its kind ever held by Negroes in the world, so Dr. J. E. Moorland, International Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association stated. There was not the least sign of disorder or rowdyism seen at any time. The crowd was patient and orderly throughout the entire afternoon, but the most significant thing connected with the whole affair was that five organizations combined their efforts in a fine spirit of brotherhood, herein showing the universal position of the Young Men's Christian Association, in the hearts of all people. The collection was taken while the band played appropriate music, after which addresses were made by the following: B. G. M. B. K. Bruce of the U. B. F.; G. S. G. E. M. Phoenix of the Odd Fellows; Brig. Gen'l W. H. Butler of the K. of P., Five Grand Divisions; G. C. Floyd Smith of the K. of P., E. and W., Memispheres; G. M. N. C. Crews, who introduced the visiting G. M., E. J. Hawkins of Kansas; G. M. J. L. Thompson of Iowa. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS.

Immortal God' may Thou lead me in the paths of righteousness; cheer me with the omens of blessedness and truth. May I honor Thy will and bring unto Thee in return the just number of "talents" and thus prepare a resting place upon the bosom of mother Earth, that will serve as a memory of faith and a guide to the wayward; inscribed may it be with the fruitful toil of facts gained by arduous task of our daily life trying to make each step a successful one. Ol may Thy will be so executed that neither friends nor foes shall gain anything but good from our work of our life, which I pray will be none other than that Thou would have it to be. If strength of mine were so sterling that the weighty troubles of the imbued could be cast upon me to be lauded with their due justice, that my fellow brethren could find in me an ever-joyous thought and that fond cheer and flowing delight be always with me and a blessed embrace for those who are downcast, I wish I could ensconce myself in a garment of faithfulness and wear the shoes of firmness; this would mean the world to me! Oh, my fellow brethren! those who are oppressed, may the light shine from my crown that a kindling power of strength may be gained from me. Immortal God! as once again I plead to Thee, may my thoughts be as those of others who have long ago passed away; may my thoughts be of use and be looked upon as those of use, not that I wish to command, but to be of help to those who need it. That when the eve of the end is drawing nigh may it be whispered in sweet repose that a few moments with me was a time of joyoyus good to the oppressed and as I seek the eternal rest and the sod of mother Earth does cover me May I grasp peace and pledged by the good omens of my past, may I enter with the cheering light poured out as a watch guard from Heaven, as an everguardian angel for me and my oppressed countrymen, who are to follow. That the last words may be the ringing of the bells of happiness and the bursting forth of the gates that encircle the oppressed, I pray Thee, O Lord, for Jesus' sake. —J. W. BROWN, Ft.
