Just Because the Sun Shines on Both Sides of the Street, Don't Forget a Hard Winter is Lurking Over the Hill The Nineteenth Year. No. 32 The government is now building roads between Ft. Riley and Junction City and Mr. Harding has recently employed fifty teams which will be employed in construction work. Mr. and Mrs. Harding have a fine little granddaughter, who is now visiting them. Their daughter, Mrs. S. T. Oliver of St. Louis, is visiting them, and she has accepted a position at the Gallup theater as usher. Misses Rosella Earp, Ethel Woodard and Rosa Hardesty assist her. These young ladies are making good and their employers would rather have first class colored girls than white. Another thing for which we are proud of Mr. Harding is that he gets a royalty on all the garbage that is hauled and fed to hogs. He has both white and colored employees on his payroll. We are proud of him, and will say that if other colored men will get busy around other posts they could do as Mr. Harding is doing. Mr. Frank Wilson the great caterer and lunch man, is now at Junction City and doing a good business. Watermelons, lunch and drinks are his strongholds and the people are flocking to him. His wife is there to assist; also Mr. Mukes and a white man from Toneka. Mr. Gabriel Monroe spent a few days in Omaha, Neb., the past week. Mr. Roscoe Wisner spent Sunday afternoon visiting Miss Johnson at Waltham, Kan. The Children's day program was given last Sunday. The program had been delayed on account of the prevalence of smallpox. Mr. Henshel Walker and Mr. Jackson Davis have returned to Omaha. A moonlight social was given at the Baptist church on Saturday night and a rally on Sunday. Roy, E. J. Malone and members are planning to give a rally and basket dinner the first Sunday in September. Misses Elsie, Mattie and Edna Thomas of Atchison are visiting their sister, Mrs. Nelson. Mr. Henry Miller of Highland was in the city Saturday, Rev. Cooper of St. Joseph, Mo. visited Rev. E. J. Malone's church Sunday. TRYING TO KEEP BLACKS IN THE SOUTHLAND! H. P. Erring Going to Texas to Co Operate With Business Men. "Hon. H. P. Ewing, former Kaw valley potato king and now president of the Law and Order League, an organization of Negroes, will go to Austin, Texas this week to co-operate with the Chamber of Commerce of that city in devising means to prevent the Negro exodus from the South to the North. He claims that the Negro is neither physically fit to withstand the Northern climate nor mentally fit to withstand the severe industrial conditions here. • A meeting of the Law and Order League will be held in the Vine Street Dantiet church tomorrow night at 8 o'clock." Journal. NEGRO TRAIN PORTERS NELP MISTREAT RACE Like Cowardly Curs, They Yield to Whites and Help Humiliate Colored Peo- Who Travel. Ninety per cent of the colored porters of the South, and especially those who run on the M. K. & T., Frisco and Rock Island, feel themselves inferior to the white man and look upon him as their superior, and do not feel contented unless they are playing the rabbit act and "skinning it back." They haven't courage and ambition enough to stand up like men in the North and demand that colored people be treated right. We have seen on almost all of the roads in Oklahoma colored porters assisting white women off trains, and colored women up at the front forced to get off as best they could, and yet these colored porters never protest or say anything to the heads of the railroads. They are afraid of their $45 jobs, and any man who will sacrifice his manhood and the women of his race for a little $45 job should be ostracized and exiled to some place where the birds and animals are in control. The sun is too high for people to endure this class of men in public service. All over the South these colored men are playing the "nigger" act, when they should be demanding jobs as brakemen at the same wages the white brakemen get. The poor white brakeman can sit in the rear of the passenger coach and give orders to the colored porters, and the colored porters will clean their lanterns as though they were the heads of the roads. This should be stopped and if the colored porters would get together and take the matter up with the heads of the roads an end would be put to it. THE V P. FAIR TO NEGROES. We are proud to announce the fact that the great Union Pacific railroad, its board of directors and general officers, are to be congratulated upon the mainly effort they have put forth in standing up for the colored employees of the road, especially in promoting many of them. The colored men draw botter wages from the Union Pacific than from any other road in the United States, and they have recently promoted colored men to positions as brakemen, not caring anything about the protest that was made by the white brakemen, who threatened to take off their badges, but they were told not to do so or they would suffer the consequences. We cannot understand why the poor white man will fight the colored man when they both must work for a living. It is certainly a source of pleasure or ride on the Union Pacific trains and see colored men wearing brakemen badges in this part of the country. We must say that the colored men on the U. P. are polite and businesslike. They are gentlemen who stand on their dignity and perform their duty fearlessly, and are not like the average Negro train poster in the South who runs on the M. K. & T. and Drisoe, who are always "shining 'em back" and have a "Maine John" al., acting as though they were inferior to white brakemen or conductors. These men on the U. P. believe that they have a duty to perform and they have confidence in themselves that they can perform it as well as any white man. The U. P. has the united praise of the colored man of this country for the good work it is doing and the service it is rendering because it is treating all of its employees alike. The road must rest assured that the Lord is with it and the prayers of the colored people will always be in the interest of the great Union Pacific railroad. We visited Ft. Riley this week and while there was the guest of the colored detachment of which Servi Merriweather is in charge. The post is fine, cordial and palpitating, in fact they are Uncle Sam's picked men. We were never treated better in our life, and that department can always feel that the editor of the Plaindealer, when starting out in way, will always want to stop with them. There are several colored people employed around Ft. Riley, several being in the laundry, Mrs. Margaret Ballow and her daughter have caught of one of the largest mess hats at the port. They are employing several women and paying big wages, Mrs. Ballow is a first class caterer and business woman and she has several times in the past twenty-five years had charge of those hats, and so well has she conducted the business that when Ft. Riley began to open up the head of the department wrote her to come at once and turned the whole matter over to her. She has charge of one hall and her daughter another adjoining, and they are serving from one hundred to two hundred officers at each meal. We are glad that some colored people have brains enough to get some of the money that Uncle Sam is spending at Ft. Riley. The man who is doing great work is L. W. Harding, assisted by his wife and father. His father has been connected with this post for years and he brought his son L. W. along up with him, and the old man is now taking life easy and the son is coming to the front. He employs about forty people. All the heads of the departments at Ft. Riley seek Mr. Harding for information concerning many things. The line of work of which Mr. Harding has full control is that of gathering up garbage and seeing that the dumps are burned off and kept in good shape. All the dead norses are hauled to the dumps, or skinned and fed to the hogs. Mr. Harding employs several men and teams to carry on this great work. Mrs. Harding has the contract for handling the mail from the depot to the postoffice and their little son has the job of delivering special delivery letters from this postoffice. Mr. Harding owns several teams and wagons of all descriptions. He pays his men big wages and when a man fails to do his duty Mr. Harding immediately pays him and hires someone else to take his place. He stands for no foolishness. He is assisted by Mr. Summers, another hard working olated man. Mr. Harding is on the job before sunup and after sundown. He is always greeted with a smile, it is understood that he knows his business without having an officer of the government standing by am each moment. Mr. Harding introduced us to Captain Fred J. Heiman, who is quattermaster of the construction department of the post and was for a number of years captain of one of the Tenth cavalry troops. He is a high class educated soldier and genius man and has no color prejudice. We also saw Major Whiteside, who is post quattermaster, and Capt. Reed, who is quattermaster of the sanitary department and sees that everything is kept clean and in order, that no sickness or disease may spread. ELWOOD, KAN. TOPEKA, KANSA8, FRIDAY MORNING AUGUST 3, 1917 NEGRO SOLDIERS ARRESTED FOR PROTECTING THEMSELVES Below is a report giving an account of trouble in Waco, Texas, between a few soldiers of the Twenty-fourth infantry and some of the police officers. It is the duty of the United States government to see to it that all of Uncle Sam's soldiers have the same rights that are given white people. There should be a law or an established military rule during this war, and at all other times, that all hotels, restaurants and other public places that discriminate against a soldier shall be deemed guilty of a crime and punished to same, and the enterprise put out of business. There is no reason why colored soldiers should be discriminated against any more than white soldiers. There seems to be an established rule, in the South that whenever United States colored soldiers go South there is uncalled for trouble between the local police and the colored soldiers. There is no excuse or reason for this, and the only way to stop it is for the secretary of war to order all colored soldiers in different portions of the Southern states to compel the prejudiced Southern whites to respect the stairs and stripes and the men who defend them. There is no use of this tortoise or hiding and dodging behind the proposition that the sending of colored troops to the South creates enmity and strife for the reason that Southern whites do not want them there. The sooner the white Southern learns to obey and respect the law and the rights of citizens, the better it will be for them and everybody else. This way of compelling one portion of the country to live up to the law and obey its mandates, and allow another portion to do as it please, is all wrong. The same spirit that existed in '61 in the South exists today. They have never been compelled to obey the law since the time of President Grant. They should get out of that rebellious state and be compelled to live up to all mandates of the law. The Southern white man is still smashing under his skin because of the loss of his slaves and because he is compelled to meet them on the level. It was the colored soldier that assisted in winning the war of the rebellion, and for that alone the ex-rebels have taught their children to hate a Negro soldier. Now it is up to the government at Washington to see to it that colored soldiers are respected in all their rights. These men are down in Texas giving protection to these Southerners who are causing all this trouble. These soldiers are right in defending themselves against insults that might be attempted or heaped upon them. The government does not want soldiers who are cowards or men who will not stand up and defend themselves, therefore no punishment should be made out to these men who want to the city like gentlemen and resented these insults, and for this reason were arrested and will be court-martialed. This is not the first time this thing has happened in the South and the sooner these Southerners are taught a lesson the better. Had it not been for these soldiers the Mexicans would have had a part of Texas. We wish to call the attention of the society of war and conglomeration to these outages, for it is their duty to see that something is done to put an end to these outages. It is a burning shame that soldiers cannot be treated as men and given proper protection. We say, and all the colored soldiers to the South and we assure you that if the white people will attend to their business there will be no trouble. No braver or manlier men ever walked than the man who compose the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry and the Ninth and Tenth cavalry. They have no trouble in the North and West, and the only reason they have trouble in the South is because the Southern white man is sore at the colored soldiers because from '61 to '65 he had to meet colored slaves on the battlefield and was outclassed, so he has taught his sons to forever hate the Negro as a soldier. The press rights say that Col. Crass has been called to Waco to report on the matter and an order has been issued that no colored soldier he allowed to come to town unless on a paras. This is an outrage and the war department should not stand for it. These men are entitled to some pleasures along with their arduous duties that they are performing on the border. The court of inquiry should exonerate these men. "Wuco, Tex., July 30.—Following the arrival late today of Col Cress, inspector general of the Southern department, U. S. A., steps were instituted by army officers for conducting a general investigation of the several clashes late last night between the police officers and riotous Negro troopers of the Twenty-fourth United States infantry. Col. Cress will forward his report of the affair o the war department at Washington. "With the taking into custody by military officers of the Negroes who took pait in the riots last night, quiet prevails in Waco tonight. "It is said that the six Negroes captured by the searching expedition early this morning will be tried for attempted murder before a military courtmartial. Military officers have effected an older barring Negro troopers from entering the city districts without a military pass." Topeka, Kan., Aug. 1, 1917. Secretary of War Baker, Washington, D. C.: My Dear Secretary—From the press dispatches from Waco, Texas, we see that there has been some trouble between a few members of the Twenty-fourth infantry (colored), U. S. A., and officers of that city. A few of them have been arrested and me to be court-martialled. Now, my dear Mr. Secretary, we hope you will see to it that the colored soldiers who are in service defending the stairs and stripes and the reputation of this country, he given a square deal. There is no more reason why trouble should cost between colored soldiers and the white citizens in the South than in the North. You never hear of any trouble between colored soldiers and civil officers in the North, because the white people in the North respect the stairs and stripes and their defenders. The real and true facts that account for this trouble in the Soura is because the Southern white man has an everlasting hate for colored soldiers for the reason that the slave-lolder had to oppose his slaves on the battlefield in the rebellion of '61 to '65, and ever since that time he has taught his children to hate the black man and the black soldier and whenever a colored regiment is sent South there is always more or less trouble. All men, white or colored, residing in Texas or in the South should be compelled to respect all soldiers who seen the uniform of this government. There should be no hotel or any other public place where a soldier in uniform is denied the right to spend his money and enjoy himself, for that is about all they get out of life. When a young man sacrifices his citizenship and all his pleasures to go into the United States army and does the uniform of this government the uniform he wears should at least be respected, if not the man. The sooner the Southern white man enters this and is compelled to live up to it, the better for all concerned. This government has trailed to the South long enough in reference to the rights of the colored man, and be time in come when everybody should be treated alike, and you have the right and authority to compel see thing to come to pass. NICK CHILES, Editor The Topek Planoen PYTHIANS AND COURT HOLD A FINE SESSION The Annual Gathering at Sacrina Showed a Remarkable Growth of Both Orders. The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias met in its twenty-fifth annual session at Salma last week; also the Court of Calanthe. The Knights held their session in the fine new Taborian hall and the Court met at the Baptist church. Dr. Thompson, Grand Chancellor, certainly deserves great credit for building up the order in this state. When he look charge everything was below low water mark and there was only $100 in the endowment department and a deficiency of $102 in the Grand Lodge treasury. They now have between $5,000 and $6,000 in the endowment department and all bills paid and the order growing rapidly. The Doctor has left most of the work to the district deputies and has seen that they performed their duties. The session opened Tuesday morning. Rev Mickens, pastor of the A. M. E. church, delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the city, as the local committee for some reason did not invite the mayor—perhaps because he seems to be prejudiced against the colored people. The colored people have had a great deal of trouble about the building of colored churches in Salina. The lot was condemned where the church was to be erected and the colored people think the mayor was responsible. All of the officers were present and responded to their names. Reports showed everything in a healthy condition, and very few laws were passed. Nearly all the officers were re-elected with the exception of the Grand Attorney, James H. Guy, who was defeated by Freeman L. Martin of Wichita. Mr. Martin has just recently been initiated into the order. He is a graduate of Kansas University and has been practicing law for several years. H. I. Monroe, who has been Grand Keeper of Records and Seal for several years, declined to be a candidate for re-election, and John E. Lewis, Past Grand Chancellor, was elected in his stead. The Grand Inner and Outer Guards were changed. Following are the officers elected: Sir S. H. Thompson, G. C., Kansas City. Sir R. S. Whittaker, V. G. C Coffeyville. Sir I. H. Anthony, P. G. C. Wichita. Sir J. R. Ransom, G. P., Kansas City. Sir J. E. Lewis, G. K. of R. & S. Sir W C. Brown, G. M. of L. Lawrence. Sir J. D. Jones, G. M. at A., Wichita. Sir W. W. Shole, G. L., Salina. Sir Ben Zachray, I. G., Kansas City. Sir J. J. Porter, G. O. G., Kun- s City. Sir G. S. Davis, G. S. E. B., In- dependence. Sir F. M Roberts, G. T. H. B. Wellington. Sir S. M. Dinks, G. M. D. Kans sas City. Sir Freeman L. Martin, Gwa Attorney, Wichita. Sir B. Pope, Supreme Representa live, Topka. Sir R. H. Wade, Supreme Repre- sentative, Topeka. Much credit is due the local com- mittee of which W. W. Shobe and Mrs. R. C. Jackson were chairman This is the first time that the K. of P. Grand Lodge ever met in Salina. The local lodge was only instituted two years ago. A grand street pau- dure was held one evening and the procession marched to the city park, where there was music and other pas- times. The installation was held on Thursday evening at the hall. The next meeting will be held in Toneka in 1918. Mrs. Mollie Cox, Grand Worthy Matron of the Court of Calanthe, presided over that body at the Baptist church. Mrs. Cox has proved to be an efficient and capable officer and has succeeded in bringing the order up to where it is in good condition and is now moving along fine. Mrs. Norene Davis, wife of Tilford Days of Kansas City, was elected to succeed Mrs. Cox, as the latter refused to run any longer, having filled that office for several years, and she felt that she ought to be given a test. Mrs. Davis is wonderfully experienced as a lodge worker, is well educated, and the Grand Court may feel proud that they have a woman that can continue the good work. The officers elected are as follows: Grand Worthy Counsellor, Mrs Nicole Davis, Kansas City. G. W. I. Mrs. Maggie Wilkins Wichita. Grand Secretary of Endowment. Mrs. G. W. Gordon, Ioh. Grand Treasurer of Endowment. Mrs. E. Roberts, Wellington. Grand Treasurer, Ms. Laura Wools, Parsons. G. R. D., Miss Lillie McWilliams, Lawrence. Grand Inspectress, Mrs. Moldle Cox, Kneeen City. Grand Escort, Mrs. N O Wigley, Salina, Grand Associate Conductress, Mrs Julia Young, Croweburg. Grand Lecturer, Miss Mitte Perkins, Topeka. Supreme Representative, Mrs. M. Matley, Topkai. Rev. J. R. Ransom. Grand Prelate, preached the memorial sermon at the Baptist church, and it was one of the finest sermons ever heard. Topkai will get busy now and try to give the Grand Lodge one of the best sessions in the history of the order. The Grand Lodge passed resolutions denouncing the Green faction of the Supreme Grand Lodge in continuing these useless lawsuits against the Virginia Grand Lodge, of which Mr. Mitchell is head. The Grand Lodge in session at Salina voted not to put another cent into fighting this man Mitchell and the Virginia lodge IN MEMORY OF MY BELOVED HUSBAND, J. A. DUNLAP. Death has ever been to those who know not God the king of terrors, but to the Christian the prince of peace. Death spares not man in his strength nor woman in her loveliness, neither the tottering steps of age nor the gentle bloom of youth. Never shall the writer of these lines forget the impression made upon her mind by the first sight of the pale, cold face of her beloved husband as he lay in death's embrace.

Savannah is a small town through which runs the interurban line from St. Joe in we don't say that we were much pleased with the little town and its colored population. The colored people own good homes which are sure in the best part of town. We had the pleasure of having Mr. C. Q. on How I take us around this business in company with a beautiful woman from St. Joe we may some day travel." We watched the house of Prof David's wife, a teacher in the pub- school.

He owns the building and is one fine. His beautiful and intelligent wife, Mrs. tickets and helps manage the business. The sporting event is growing less every day. There is plenty of work all over the busy, but one man white people and people that go into business for them class. They have two good restaurants, which could be improved, but it seems that the colored people as a rule eat at home and there is very little transient trade. The colored people should get busy and try to organize a little business of some kind. We were proud to visit the office of Dr. C. S. Wheatley, and son and daughter. Dr. Wheatley is one of the best chiropodists in this country and maintains a nice office. People come from far and near—for miles around—to get him to doctor their feet. Dr. Wheatley invested $200 in liberty bonds. Everybody is proud of him, as he is a man who attends strictly to his own business. We met our friend Essex Allen, who has been connected with the Burns National bank for several years, and he stands high with the wealthy people of that town. He is entrusted by the bank with thousands of dollars. (Concluded Next Week.) the casket lid close upon the still forms of young and old, yet when I stood face to face with one of death's victims with whom I had so often walked and talked, I could not believe the bitter truth. Alas! it is true; he has gone; his last hour has passed; he has trampled death, his last foe, beneath his feet, plunged into the dark river and builted with the billows and passed into the great beyond. His was a calm, triumphant death that seemed to spread a soliton, sweet repose upon all of his friends. Oh! when the heart is lone and sad, And clouds look dark above. When life seems but lingering fear How beautiful is love. No more will his sweet voice be heard To cheer the hearta of all. No more to do his duty prompt, Yes, prompt at every call. He'll never be tossed upon the waves Of life's tempestuous sea; His spirit, far too good for earth. With Christ will ever be. In vain we scan his vacant scal To see his manly form, One less on earth to love us now, One more to love in heaven, The gift of an eternal life To another soul is given. Yes, bye and bye we will meet thee In those bright realms above, Where sickness, sorrow, pain nor death Shall come to blight our love. —Mrs. Izella Hampton Dunlap.

A delightful evening was spent at the home of Miss Corinne Shields, Tuesday, July 31. Those who helped her make the evening a success were Misses Marguerite Mallory, Sylvia and Kathryn Newman. Refreshments were served. Mr. Arthur W. Harris, dean of Negro job printers, was a pleasant caller Wednesday and spent a very delightful time talking "shop" and old times. Mr. Harris own and operates one of the neatest job printing plants in Kansas City. He was here to visit his mother. His lessons in printcraft were received in the Plaindealer office and we know his mechanical education is correct. We are always delighted to see A. W. and hope that he will not make his visits so far apart. Mrs. Maggie Kizer died at her home in Richland, Kan., July 14, and was buried in the country cemetery. She was a member of the A. M.

Mr. R. M. Frazler, one of Topeka's popular guardians of the peace, has returned from Oklahoma, where he spent his vacation with his brother, Mr. W. I. Frazler, and his cousin, Mr. Ben Jackson. He visited Dover, Kingfisher, Crescent and Zion. Mr. Frazler says that he found things in a prosperous condition, that his brother has a splendid cotton crop, and that Mr. Jackson not only has a splendid crop, but has leased his land to oil prospectors and it is being located in the "oil belt." They will begin drilling at once. The comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo, 1012 Grand avenue, was the scene of much Joy Wednesday, the occasion being the celebration of the birthday anniversary of Mrs. McAdoo and her brother, Mr. George Nichols of Chicago. It was a sort of family reunion, in which Mesdames Pinkston and Northington, sisters of the hostess, and their families participated. The spread was elaborate and keenly relished by the participants. Mr. and Mrs. Nichols, who had been visiting in the city the past three weeks, departed in the evening for Denver, Col., to visit another sister before returning to their home in Chicago. Miss Laura Chiles of Topeka, who has been attending St. Rita's academy at St. Louis, is spending her vacation with her mother in Kansas City, Mo. Miss Chiles was awarded a gold medal for having received the highest mark in deportment of any pupil in the academy. Miss Chiles is a member of the Church of the Assumption in this city. She is a faithful member and without doubt deserved the medal awarded her. Her aim is to become a teacher, and she possesses those traits which would place her among the strongest teachers of the race. She expects to pay her many friends and relatives in Topeka a short visit before returning to the academy. Mrs. L. C. Clark proved a charming hostess at a home musicale Saturday afternoon, July 21, complimentary to Mrs. John Roundtree of Terre Haute, Ind.

Trimble, of Wichita Falls, Tex., principal of the public schools of that city, in company with Dr. Flourmoy, were agreeable callers at the Plaindealer office Tuesday afternoon. Prof. Trimble is on a sort of educational inspection tour of the West, and while doing so is combining a little business with pleasure. He is a fine appearing gentleman and has a proposition to offer the people in the way of a fraternal insurance order, of which the following will furnish an excellent idea as to its value: The Woodmen is the cheapest order to get into and live in, and yet the best financed Negro order in the world. The only Negro order in the world that is a member of the National Fraternal Congress. The only Negro order in the world whose death rate is as low as 7 per 1000. The only Negro order in the world whose policies validate at 112 percent. The law requires only 90 per cent. Three dollars pays all expenses of joining at present, including doctor's examination. No taxation or extra assessment. Women and men join the same camp and receive the same benefits. Woodcraft saves you from the annoyance of insurance agents. While we have an impressive lodge system, our insurance features, which include accident, sick, total disability, burial and death benefits are its special inducements. You ought to join and help support such a worthy institution of your race, especially one that gives employment and encouragement to the boys and girls and protection to you. We do not ask you to love any race less, but we do beg you to love your own race more. Call 1147 or 788. Among the Churches THE DISTRICT ASSOCIATION The Kaw Valley Baptists are holding a pleasant and profitable session at the Topeka Industrial Institute this week, which closes Sunday. On account of the great distance from the city and high cost of getting out there, the meetings have been very poorly attended. Had they been held in the city, the attendance would have been nearly double. However since the delegates find that they have to pay almost two railroad fares after reaching Topeka to get to the meetings, we think that a little more judgment will be exercised when they decide to visit Topeka again. --- BROWN CHAPEL NOTES. A grand rally was held at Brown Chapel last Sunday, at which time the pastor, Rev. W. T. Greene, was assisted by several ministers of the city. The occasion of the rally was the birthday anniversary of Rev. Greene and he was presented with $6 by Rev. Davidson and members of Mt. Carmel Baptist church as a token of their esteem. An excellent musical program was rendered. The Sewing circle will meet at the church Friday afternoon. Brown Chapel, together with St. John A. M. E. church, will give a burcuece at Wilson's Garden August 4. The public is invited. --- SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. The pastor having returned from a trip to Iowa, will be in his pulpit Sunday morning and will deliver the morning sermon, after which the Lord's Supper will be partken of. At H o'clock Miss Jeanie Somtunzi of Middle Drift, South Africa, will speak. Miss Somtunzi was brought to America by Rev. D. E. Murff, a missionary to Africa who was a personal friend to the pastor. Sunday school at 9:30 a. m.; B. Y. P. U. at 6:30 p. m. SUNDAY SERVICES AT SHILOH Sunday school at 9:45. Mrs. Frances B. Watson, graduate of the training school at Washington and Clay Denominational school, will be present. Morning services at 11 o'clock Sermon by Dr. W. A. Bowen, president of the state convention after which communion will be held. Special music by the choir, at which time "The Holy City" will be sung, led by Mr. Brock. At 3:30 p. m. there will be a missionary miss meeting and Miss Somtunul, who is a native of Africa, will address the congregation. In the evening a special B. Y. P. U. program will be rendered, at which time the leaden physicians of the city will appear. At R o'clock Rev. J. H. Van Leu, general missionary, will be the speaker. All members and friends are conditionally invited to be present at each service. The season last Sunday was not only highly instructive but greatly enjoyed by the throng who heard the pastor's able discussion of "The New Birth." It was a great effort, the congregation eagerly drinking down every word of the speaker. Rev Hill departed from his course long enough to deliver a solar plexus blow to Christians who indulge in dancing, and handled the matter without gloves. In this the pastor showed more courage than has been displayed heretofore by the clergy in Topeka. The dance is a subject that is only spoken of in whispers by Topeka ministers, from fear it may in some way cause a falling off in membership. But, sink or swim, Dr. Hill grabbed the "beast" by the horns and delivered a sound lacing to that favorite little "no harm" pleasure. He is brave, bold and courageous, and convinced his hearers that he is not in the meny mouthed class. CALVARY NOTES. Elder B. F.
