SpedaIk to TIE R7o5.
/ took q notion to write one more
time to the News. l am staying this
winter at my sons. / have not been
much we'll this winter. l have been
having something like heart trouble.
/ would be glad to see all my old
friends. The Goth of this month l was
20 years old. l have lived out my
three score and ten and am now living
on borrowed days. l am 80 feeble l
can't get around to meeting, but l
find that the Lord is with me at home
as we'll as abroad. l have been a sold
Ter for Christ for forty-seven years,
and still am one and expect to remain
one as long as l live. / would like
to see you all and meet with you in
meeting d more time on earth, and
If | don't, l hope to meet you all in
heaven. l would like to be at SeQua-
chez and have some good meetings
like we used to have, but from what
| have heard a good many of them
have TUNED from the Lord and gone
to serving the devil, gone to dancing
and such like as that. 1t seemed the
people used to like to see me, but now
they don't want to see me and don't
seem to want to write to me. l have
got so blind they don't care anything
for me now.
Well, we'll, did you ever think about
it, this is leap year. / used to be at
Sequachee years ago, and the sisters
and widows gave me shirts and hand
kerchiefs. l am in need of some now,
but they don't know the old preacher.
Well, what in the world has become
of "Cold Wave" There hasn't been
anything in the paper about him in
some time. ! guess the cold weather
got the best of him, but as the wealth
er is warmer maybe he has got thawed
up and will give us a piece in the
News. Some of you brothers go and
see about him. See if he loves Aunt
Jane as we'll as ever. Now, Gold
Wave" you can smoke that in your
pipe.
Does anybody know whether Bro.
Robbins lives in Seouachee YETI Ask
him if his mother still lives with him,
and what has become of Bro. Dugan
during this cold weather. Has he gone
south out of the cold as / can't hear
anything from him he must be gone
away. I would like to be out to Bro.
Dugan's and see them all one more
time.
/ would like to go to Tracy City and
be with them this spring, and have
meeting one more time in life, and If
/ am we'll and any of the brothers
want me to come and will come after
me some time in May, l will try to go.
Tell the people all howdy for me.
Brother Brannan, ask Brother John
Pardan if he has got any of the stock
of those acknowledged hens yet. and if
so tell him to set some eggs and have
the fryers ready as | am chicken hung
ry. Tell the people of Tracy City and
my kin folks to write to me. They
surely have forgotten me.
What has become of Cousin Fate
Kilgore and Cousin Alexander Layne'
/ would like to be at Shadrick Hill
and La~nkfordtown at another meeting
with them all.
Would like to be at Mt. Olive and
hear M. M. Killgore talk. Has be
gone to preaching yet or not? Would
like to see all the people out there.
Well, we are living in Egypt or the
days of Elijah. 1t looks like pride
and the love of money has gone with
our churches. 1t looks like the people
are following Baal more than they are
God. We will all be weighed in the
balance at the Judgement Day, and /
fear we will be found wanting. Some
say they are for democracy, some say
they are for republicanism and some
for the Socialists, but who can answer
and say they are for Christ. I want
all to pray for me, that we may all
meet together at the judgement day.
Let us sing:
"Oh, for a closer walk with God,
A calm and Heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb.
Oh, for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels thy blood
So freely spilled for me-"
May the Lord bless you all. Amen.
REV. W, E, KILLGORE.
