Plaindealer

The Topeka Plaindealer Nineteenth Year. No. 4 STATE SHOULD HELP SCHOOLS STATE SHOULD HELP SCHOOLS Western University and Topeka Industrial are a Blessing to Blacks. We hope the legislature will give Western University and the Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute a liberal appropriation. These schools are doing much good for the citizens of Kansas in educating and developing young men and women who would otherwise be lost to civilization and probably be doing time in penal institutions or committing crimes that would be detrimental to society. These schools are saving young men and women from the slums, and if there is one thing for which the white race is indebted to the colored people it is to give them a proper education and the opportunity to earn an honest living, as their forefathers were slaves and kept in ignorance, humiliation and degradation. Now, after fifty years of freedom, they are beginning to develop themselves into men and women worthy of respect and consideration, and the white men or lawmakers who begrudge a little patience to help the people they have kept down for all these centuries are not worthy of the positions they hold. Our confidence is not shaken in that class of people of Kansas who have been inspired by John Bacon, Charles Sumner and Abraham Lincoln, and as long as the spirits of these men live in the men of Kansas the colored people will not suffer for education and their rights.

DORSEY.) Recognizing the fact that a church is a very essential factor in any community, and also recognizing the fact that the influence of the church upon the community depends largely upon the character of its leader, the pastor, The Plaindealer deems it prudent to extend a hearty and whole-souled welcome to Shiloh's new pastor, the Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Hill, A. M., late of Los Angeles, Cal., because we believe him to be a true follower of that God-fearing PETER H. man, Noah, who, though educated and decided by the people, continued for one hundred and twenty years to teach and preach the word of God to those around him and lived uprightly in the sight of God. And again we welcome Dr. Hill to Topka because we believe him to be a follower of that great patriarch, Abraham, who was willing to sacrifice his only son upon the altar as a burnt offering that the word of God might be obeyed, for we realize that for Abraham to obey the command of God in that instance must have caused the very muscles of his heart to break, aound, thus separating the human from the divine attributes. All thoughts for self were forgotten, and though God had caused to be built up in Abraham wounds us thoughts for the future of his only son, Isaac, he shut his eyes to all this glory and went about his Master's business. And, again, we welcome Dr. Hill to Topeka because we believe him to be a follower of Moses, who, through hard trials and great tribulations, led the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage into the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JANUARY 19, 1917 promised land. Though Moses met opposition from his own people, he continued steadfastly to stand uprightly before God and to set an example for his people. We welcome him here because the moral tone of the atmosphere of Tepeka needs a purifying influence, a strong moral force that will tend to the upward way, because we know that our young men, and women, too, are on that careless road that often leads to ruin and desolation, even the sons of some of our ministers are in that easy road to ruin. We need Dr. Hill here because we believe that under his guidance our sons and daughters can discern a noble life and follow his lead to a grander, nobler life. We welcome Dr. Hill as pastor of Shiloh because we believe that he is a follower of that meek and lowly Lamb that suffered on the Roman cross that through His death might come the remission of our sins, and we trust that his life in our midst will prove as true and holy as was the life of Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer, while here on earth. We trust that the sanctity of our wives, mothers, sisters and daughters will be held as sacred and as pure as the dewdrops from heaven; that under his influence the moral tone of society will rise to the highest standard, because our future can only be measured by the past. In the past our regard for morality has been rather lax, and we must tighten up the roms. This condition of affairs is evidenced in the divorce counts of our community, as well as in the criminal courts of the land. To overcome the evil of the laxity in morals we must put forth a mighty effort and the ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ must set the example and live as God would have them live. Dr. Hill comes to Shiloh well recommended, as the following testimonials will show: "Baptist Ministers' Union of Los Angeles County. "Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 27, 1916. "To Whom It May Concern: "This is to certify that Rev. J. T. Hill has been among us and officially connected with our denominational work for the last ten years. He has built up a great and powerful church in our midst, and has exerted a general influence for the perpetuity of our denominational principles and for the kingdom of Christ. There are few in our denomination better prepared to do the work of a gospel minister, from every viewpoint, than Dr. J. T. Hill. "As he takes his leave, we commend him to the considerate judgment, the brotherly kindness, of all with whom he may chance to meet. While we hope him success wherever he goes, still we have a longing for his early, return. We pray that the blessings of the Great Head of the Church may test upon him in all his labors." "The Western Baptist Association of Southern California." "Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 28, 1916. "To Whom It May Concern." "This is to certify that Dr. J. T. T. Hill is a member of the Western Baptist Association, and has been one of its honored officers, having been chairman of t. a board of directors for the Western Baptist Association and the Old Dutch Home "He is one of the ablest, and, all around, one of the best prepared ministers among us. We commend him to the love and considerate judgment of the Baptist denomination everywhere, and to the world at large. "We of the West would regard it a great loss to permanently lose the services of Dr. J. T. Hill." (From the New York Times.) (From the New Age, Los Angeles, California.) In the departure of Rev. Joseph T. Hill, A. B., B. D., A. M., Los Angeles is losing to some eastern city a rare character and forceful personality. As singer and preacher Rev. Hill has won a place in the hearts of white and colored up and down the coast that will not be filled for many a day. A graduate of Virginia University, the degree of bachelor of arts was conferred upon Rev Hill, followed by the degree of doctor of divinity from the Theological College of the same university. The years of 1901 and 1905 were spent teaching in Bishop College Marshall, Texas. Thereafter Rev. Hill came to Los Angeles and preformed Mt Zion Baptist church building up a strong organization that ranks among the leading forces in the city's life. During this pastorate Rev Hill continued his scholastic endeavors and in 1909 was awarded the degree of master of art from the University of Southern California. Since then he has completed three years of study looking forward to the degree of doctor of medicine and one year towards a doctorate in philosophy. This splendid training and power Rev. Hill takes with him, as he and Mrs. Hill go to some eastern pastorate. Rev. and Mrs. Hill leave Thursday at one o'clock for Topka, Kan, where Rev. Hill will preach Sunday. (Crom (From the California Eagle, Los Angeles, Cal.) Dr. J. T. Hill takes a trip through the M. J. Hill West on route to Savannah, Ga. We regret very much to see him go, as we feel that he will not soon return. Dr. Hill represents the highest scholarship of the Negro pulpit, holding the de- with a year leading toward Ph. D., grees of B. A., M. A. and B. D., and three years leading to the degree of M. D. In addition to his acquired accomplishments, Dr. Hill by right of birth is one of our best singers and orators, and is in every way a great credit to the ability of the Negro. Rev. Dr. J. T. Hill left on Thursday at 1:10 o'clock for Topeka, Kansas, where he will preach on next Sunday at the Shilloh Baptist church, where it is very likely he will be called. Topeka is the editor's home town. We know everybody there, and we know that Shilloh is the class of Baptist churches in that section. We are glad they are calling a man of Dr. Hill's caller, and believe that they will make no mistake in choosing him as their pastor. SPRINGFIELD, MO. Dr. J. Burnett Clark entertained at his place of business, The People's Drug Store, 603 North Jefferson street, with an elaborate New Year's stag reception, from 12 to 2 a.m. About fifty guests attended who enjoyed the splendid hospitality of their delightful host.

To every advent in life two gates stand ajar—the one by which we cuter into this life, the other through which we pass out. Childhood, manhood and mature age and then life's certain falls, but when one has lived the worthy life by friends and associates they are never forgotten. Thus it is so true of the words penned by the poet of more than a decade pus- sel where he said: "That death rides on every breeze And lurks in every flower. Each season has its own disease; Its peaks every hour." Thus our class mate and sister has cancelled and paid an obligation that each of us must at sometime meet and pay, and to be memory for her interest and love for "Mother Brown" (our mother leader) and as she stood so near and dear to this saint of days come by we cannot but hope and believe that son where in the spirit and that her all leader has wished her to the great "celestial love" And while the ranks of this class is gradually thinning down yet we praise the name of our Creator that each member may with faith worship into future hope will in the time join this our dear class mate and sister. "Where we shall see by faith upheld A lint with beauty crowned, Where trees and flowers never fade And richest love abound." Respectfully submitted, MEMBERS CLASS No.7.

He has erected in his ministerial cancer room a substantial churches and more than 2,500 persons have access to the plan of salvation through his preaching. Rev. McGill has held many offices of trust and is a true leader. The Negro pulpits need more such men in them. This is one of the best homes owned by the race in the South and is easily worth $30,000. It is furnished in exquisite style—everything strictly modern. It is two stories with fourteen rooms, bath, and every convenience. We recently called at the home and found in Prof. Trent a broad-minded scholarly man, who puts the advancement of the race ahead of everything else. Sixteen years ago, when he was elected the first secretary of the Old Tellers' Benefit Endowment Association, without a penny in the treasury, he organized this department and since its organization it has paid to widows and orphans over one-half million dollars. He is still serving in an acceptable manner as endowment secretary of said order. Thirty-three years ago Prof. Trent finished at the Ohio State Normal and ever since has been principal of the Lincoln High and Industrial school, from which hundreds of young men and young women have gone forth and are now among the leading folks in our race. Prof. Trent has made the Fort Smith schools among the best in the south.

The strong and helpful sermons that are being delivered by the new pastor, Dr. J. T. Hill, are being well received by the general public. This is evidenced by the large crowds that are in attendance.

Your scribe reached Oklahoma City in company with Hon. G. I. Curtin, Grand Master of the colored Masons of that state, and was soon picked up by Hon. T. H. Traylor and carried about in his automobile. The capital of Oklahoma is one of the most prejudiced towns in the world—that's why so many of our people are making a showing along business lines, which means the up lift of the black man. Hundreds of white men are employed on the streets, and we have tried to run across a Negro, but he is conspicuous by his absence. No doubt some Negroes are given a boot-licking job, but we did not find one. Negro haters in many instances force the colored man to efforts and he is gradually breaking into the commercial world. It should be a pleasing race picture to see a creditable Negro enterprise, successfully managed, and that is what you see when you visit the magnificent grocery store of Mr. A. Hall, at 309 East First street, Oklahoma City, where there are several thousand dollars worth of staple and fancy groceries, and a meat market. Hall is in his own building, and by strict business methods is succeeding. He has passed the experimental stage and is on a solid basis. We are proud of the kind of store he is conducting. He is succeeding because he has what the people want and sells it right. The Oriental Drug Co. of Oklahoma City is now the property of Dr. W. J. Haywood, a man whose career is crowded with many achievements. In fact Dr. Haywood will try most any kind of business once and if the going is good he will "go it" again. In Dr. Haywood we have a man who is never satisfied unless he is trying to bring things about, and the Oriental is enjoying a liberal patronage under his supervision. His accomplished wife is still teaching the young idea how to shoot, being a member of the teaching staff of Oklahoma City. One of the best play-houses of our race is the Aldridge, located at 221 East First stair, Oklahoma City. The scene visited same and was purified indeed. The scenery is the latest, and in fact it is a modern place, with high city motion pictures and clean sand ville. The attractions are the best man you can encounter and the patrons are many. Mr. Thomis Pleison is the affable manager and Mr. A. Browny is owner. The tree should rally to this place and make it a success because it is a desirable enterprise. It is operated and financed by collected people for the use. The Aldridge is closed on Sunday unless used for special occasions. These play-houses kill Jim Crow and actually keep our people out of the white man's buzard roset Oklahoma City has an addition to the colored business and social world in the person of Mr. Wm Floyd, one of the race's expert shoemakers, who has opened up a modern shoe Highest prices Paid for Hides, Furs and Junk.
