Sister P. A. McFadden, Bros.
Thomas Glenn and G. w. Taylor have
been on the sick list. .. . The funera
of Sister 7. Robinson was preached
last Sunday. The occasion was indeed
sad, but we can but say Gods will be
done. She was a Christian of long
standing and died in full triumph Of
faith. We extend our heartfelt sym.
pathy to the bereaved family. .. Sis
ter Robinson was a member of Eva
Court, E. & w. H., and the Tabernacle.
Much credit is due both lodges for the
great care and high respect shown. e. e..

ried wife, Miss Jennie Piper, were at
church last Sunday. A very pleasant
smile was worn by each of them.

Provident Hospital
Makes Announcement

To the Public: The Institution for
merly run by DR.. J. E. Perry and
known as the Perry Sanitarium has
been taken over by the Provident Hos
pital Association. The doors of this
Institution were thrown open to the
general public January 1st, 1914, and
the management of the same is vest
ed in a board of directors consisting
of five of Kansas City's well known
and public spirited citizens, towit:
Evelyn Baldwin, Marilda Gardner.
Clara T. Knox, E. NJ. Smith and T. B.
Watkins. The officers are: Presi-
dent, Evelyn Baldwin; secretary, Eva

watkins; treasurer, Mrs. Clara T.

Provident Hospital Association as
sumes charge has twenty-five beds,
two of which this association has for
several months maintained as free
beds and this policy will be continued.
The building is provided with steam
heat and lighted with electricity and
has an operating room with all the in
struments necessary for the most diff
ficult operations. In this connection
also the institution has retained the
services of Miss Nellie Palmer, the
most accomplished and experienced
nurse in the West, together with other
competent nurses who will render
valuable assistance. This institution
is now public in every sense of the
word and whatsoever money realized
from operating the same will be ex-
/ pended for the maintenance of the
hospital. This institution therefore
belongs to the pubic, is a public
necessity and merits the public's sup
port. The following physicians and
surgeons are on the lecturing staff:
DT. Lloyd E. Bailer Dr. G. w. Brown,
DR.. ]. H. Williams, DR.. j. E. Perry,
DR.. Thos A. Jones, DR.. e. A. Walker,
DR.. NJ. H. Lambright, DR.. Thos. A.
Fletcher, DR.. c. NJ. Kane, DR.. Whit
tington Bruce, Dr. VIM. ]. Thomp-
kins. The medical profession when
desiring hospital services for their pa
tients will find the Proyident Hospital
an ideal place. Doctors desiring to
serve on the staff for either medical
or surgical are kindly requested to
apply to the president.

African Emigration
A Fake.

From Sierre Leone, capital of Libe-
ria, comes the last word to Oklahoma
regarding Chief Sam, the Negro pro
moter, who has been working among
the Negroes of Oklahoma on an al
legged colonization scheme. Chief Sam,
declaring that a boat is being built for
him at New York, has been securing
$25 apiece from Negroes in Oklahoma,
the money to be used in building the
ship and paying the passage Of the
Negroes to Gold Coast, Africa.
Yeterday Rev johnson of the Afri-
can A. M. E. Church here, received a
letter from Bishop William H. Heard
at the capital of Liberia, branding
Chief Sam as pure fake. The bishop.
says in his letter that there is abso-
lutely nothing to the colonization
scheme and that Negroes are not even
allowed to land in the Gold Coast
country.-Tulsa World.

BEFORE 1T 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 heavens pearly gates;
But show her that you think of her
Before it is too late.
If you've tender message,
Or 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 that you care for them
Before it is too late.

Chicago. Jan. 12.--Is the tango
erase in Chicago ON the wane?
Many public dance halls have barred
the Argentine dance and the proprle-
tors say that they have suffered no
drop in patronage.
Popular opinion is not in favor of
the tango as it is danced said George
Curtin of the Vermont dance hall. 81

and not the waltz. This middle-aged

which a ban had been placed by the
police, was being permitted or desired

These younger dance hall patrons
are blamed for the tango. 1t is they

the various positions of the dance in
his pulpit, the Rev. G. L. Morrill,,
pastor of the Peoples church,
preached today on "9The Tango" Mr..
Morrill, who has recently returned
from South America, compared that
popular dance, as performed in the
United States, with that in the South
ern republics. During the sermon he
said:
"The savage heather dance 1 re-
Gently saw in Bolivia is outdone by
civilized, Christian Americans.
"The natives wear more clothes and
dance more decently than the tan.
goists of so-called high society.
"The Argentina tango is modest
minuet compared with the way we
rush it. The man from Buenos Aires
would not know it as danced here.
"The dance has degenerated from
devotion and diversion to dissipation
and debauchery.
"The tango is popular because it is
depraved.
'It is the dance of death, and its
step in due time slides to hell

New York, Jan. 9.-Dr Stephen s
Wise, in an address said:
my objection to the so-callvd mod
