their way down the spacious aisles to
make thei roffering and to grasp the
hand of DR. Bundy and wish him good
luck and assure him of their prayers
and sympathy
At the beautiful Metropolitan Tenn
pie in Kansas City, Kansas, DR. Bundy
spoke briefly before the Forum at 5
p m and DR.. D. A. Holmes, the bril-
liant pastor, urged that although it
was not the regular services of the
Church, an offering be taken, and in
response to the eloquent plea of Prof.
]. P. King, $52 was given DR.. Bundy.
The next meeting was at the En-
deavor meeting of st. James A. M. E.
Zion Church, presided over by Rev.
DR.. Shaw, an old friend of Dr. Bundy's
father, and although there were only
twenty-four people present, S14.1O was
given the Doctor to help him in his
struggle.
The next meeting was at the great
Second Baptist Church, where after
fitting introduction by Hon. c. H. Cal
loway, DR.. Bundy again carried his
audience to the heights and was given
a collection here of $102.
From the Mother BBaptist Church
the delegation went to famous st.
Stephens Baptist Church, Dr. j. w.
Nurse, pastor, and here they found
the greatest surprise of the day. AL
though it was 10 o'clock, more than
1900 people had wedged and crowded
their way into this edifice to hear
Dr.. Bundy, many of whom were men
and women that had heard each OF
his previous addresses but seemed to
never tire of listening to his thrilling
story and matchless eloquence; and
when he was introduced by Hon. w.
C. Hueston a wave of sympathetic APP
plause led by it's loyal and courageous
pastor, swept over the building and
shook it from center to circumference.
Dr.. Bundys recital was followed with
breathless interest and here he de-
liyered one of the most heart reach
ing addresses that it has ever been
our opportunity TO hear. The people
simply could not control their emo
tions and strong men wept aloud, and
when DR.. Hurse called for an Offer
ing DR.. D. NJ. Miller, one of his faith
full officers, said 1--WE must allow no
Church in Kansas City to do more
for DR.. Bundy than St. Stephens
and when the collection had been fin
ished their matchless leader, DR..
Nurse, placed in the hands of DR..
Bundy $22725; while number of
people in shaking hands with DR..
Bundy handed him sums ranging from
81 to IS. Altogether he received from
loyal and sympathizing members OF
tn Grace in this city S625.76. The
prayers of all Kansas City goes out
for DR.. Bundy's acquittal, and on last
Tuesday night at historic Allen, DR.,
Thomas, who is leader of his people
and stands without peer in this
Western county, had the congregation
bow in silent prayer for few mo-
ments that this splendid young man
might receive justice in his coming
trial; which means acquittal.

THE "WHlTE FOLKS"
NEGRO!
An Editorial.

It is very regrettable that we
have in Kansas City a small
class of people, known as the
"White Folks" Negro. They
are not only a setback and a
detriment to themselves, but
they are hindrance and a dis
grace to their race as we'll. This
does not simply apply to some
of our men but a few of our
women as we'll.
The small number of Negro
men and women in Kansas City
who fall under this head will
soon be publicly dead. He can
not Withstand the onslaught of
the masses of Negroes, for he is
against them in their cry for
justice. He is against his race
for selfish motives and selfish
gains. He is also against the
dictates of God in opposing the
securing of the just rights of
the Negro in this country.
The "White Folks" Negro is
one who stands with hat in hand
and grin upon his face; he is
one who is against any move
ment started by his people, re-
gardIess of its merit and the
good it will do mis- race. He
believes that no movement will
be successful unless started by
White men and he himself act
ing as their figure-head; that is,
with no thoughts Of his own,
but simply a catspaw and trai-
tor to his race.
What fair-minded Negro is
against a movement that has for
its object and purpose the Sc
curing of life, liberty, property
and the pursuit of happiness for
his people? What respectable
and progressive Negro wants to
be "cooped up" in Jim Grow
Cars? What intelligent Negro
wishes to continue in the Ioath-
some state OF disfranchisement
which is simply taxation with
out representation? What red
bIooded American Negro wants
to continue to see his people
mobbed and lynched? Any Ne
gro who is against such a just
cause is not fit to hold the pub
lie confidence and should be
looked upon with contempt and
scorn by his felIow-men.
Then, one other thing to bear
in mind-what would the white
people think if they learned that
they are Negroes who are base
enough to fight a movement
that is meant for their own
good? It is true that the White
Man uses the "Whte Folks Ne
gro" whenever he needs him,
but deep down in his heart he
despises him. No man likes a
coward and a traitor, and that
is what the term "White Folks
Negro" signifies. Trust not the
Negro, big or small, who is
against any movement for the
good of his people. Shun him
and heed him not for he is dan
gerous.

to magnificent heights of eloquence

orator in recent years has ever car

him as did DR.. Bundy last Sunday.
At every place he spoke the same
scenes were enacted and some who
could not control their emotions
screamed aloud. DR.. Bundy was met
on his arrival by Editor Crews of The
Sun and escorted to his home and

travel he prepared for his days itin-

Messrs. C. H. Galloway, w. c Hues-

stirred before At the conclusion of

The invitation reads in part:
You are invited to attend the

Mrs. Binga and Mr.. White hope
you will all come and hear the
truth And bring your friends.
This is how Mrs. Binga and Mr..
White are involved:
The Rev. Robert w. Bagnall, rector,
is accused by some members of his
flock of being too friendly with
woman high in the social life of the
church. He was tried before Bishop
Charles D. Williams and the charges
against him dismissed.

But the incident, unfortunately, did
not close there. Sunday, clad in his
vestments and preceded by the altar
boys the Rev. Mr.. Bagnall entered the
church aisle for the professional. AS
he passed pew occupied by Mr.. John
White, according to his story Mr.
White arose and smote him with a
blackjack. Greater confusion was
caused, says the Rev. Mr. Bagnall
when Mrs. Binga tore his robes from
his person, donned them herself and
ran into the street, shouting: Glory
to God and down with the peracher.

bishop, and promised the complete CO.
operation of himself and his priests
in the great work that confronted the
Metropolitan of ST. Paul.
A touch of intimacy was given to
the occasion by the Bishop of ST.
Cloud, Right Reverend Joseph Busch,
when he stated that several years ago
the present Archbishop gave retreat
to the priests of the northern diocese.
He alluded to the varied training-as
pastor, editor, professor and Bishop
that the new Archbishop had enjoyed
to fit him for his present position.

O'Reilly, many of the stalwart pioneers
of religion in that region "are now

more worthy recipient.
AS former portion Of the diocese
of Fargo, asserted Bishop Wehrle, Bis
marck cherished the same traditions
of pioneer effort for religion. 1t was
| intimately bound up with the rest of
the province in veneration for the
memory of Archbishop Ireland, and
united now with the other suffragan
dioceses in extending welcome to the
new prelate.
Lead and its glories were set aside
for the moment by Bishop Lawler in
a touching and eloquent tribute to the
work of the priests and the laity in
the upbuilding of religion. He re.
ferred to the wonderful results to be
accomplished in a fertile field like St
Paul, with Jealous clergy and a pious
and intelligent laity He declared
| .'The triple alliance: Bishop, priests
laity, makes for the progress and
splendor of the Church in every age
and country.
Archbishop Bowling passed the test
of literary Boston, and drank in knowl
edge in st. Johns Seminary, in Brigh

manner he reviewed the greatness o'
each of the suffragan dioceses, and

Churchman of the present Arch
bishop" He offered the entire CO.
operation of the diocese OF Duluth in
every great work undertaken by the
new Metropolitan.
In the absence of the beloved Bishop
O'Gorman of Sioux Falls, the toast
master called upon Rev. Daniel F. Des-
mond to respond for that diocese
Father Desmond gave witty descrip-
ton of the superior knowledge which
priests have of Bishops, a knowledge
cleaned by most intimate contact. He
declared that the qualities of the three
former prelates of ST. Paul, Bishop
Cretin, Bishop Grace and Archbishop
Ireland, found a fitting complement in
Archbishop Bowling.
Archbishop Messmer of Milwaukee
took occasion to note the strong ties
that ever bound the Provinces of ST..
Paul and Milwaukee. He recalled that
he was always more at home in ST..
Paul than in any other part of the
country beyond his own Province. He
added that he was the last outside Wis

called upon him ten days before the
death of the i1lustrious pre1ate.
