NOInd1, Ald.-1Ou Will see IIOn
this letter that 1 am just little more
in the south, and will be even more
before you can get through with this
letter. am a little disappointed in
this reporting business, and I thought
at one time I would send in my resig-
nation. My work does not seem to
have the ring like some I have read,
yet am stuck on what have written
and I just tote it around all the time
and show it to people, but they don It
seem to make a fuss over it like do.
I have thought that would send in
my resignation and give up, but then
I have not been writing so long, and
should not get tired before I have
really commenced. Do you blame me
for this? I will try a little longer.
For instance 1 am now into the place
where We must have separate accom-
mediation in almost everything you 60
into, yet I am not going to complain,
but I am just taking mine like a man.
1 had just reached Nashville last
week when I wrote to you and had a
few things to say to you then about
affairs in this part of the world. 1
did not tell you that had the pleasure
of stopping at the home of Bishop
Evans Tyree, one of the Bishops in
the African Methodist Episcopal
church, and it was one of the finest
homes was ever in since have been
in the world, and just to think that
1 was the guest of that home, coming
almost direct from the farm. This was
encouraging to me. Mrs. E. Tyree, was
at home, and with her was the Bishops
mother, the daughter and her daughter.
All tried to make it pleasant for me.
Bishop Joshua 81. Jones, held a con-
ference here in Nashville, and it is
wonderful how he lives in the hearts
of the people. Bishop Jones has made
good and he is kind and tender with
his men and for that reason they all
love him. Strong resolutions were
passed in the conference asking for
his return, and the delegates elected
to the general conference will ask for
his return and I will not blame them.
He deserves anything that he wants
in his church.
1t would seem strange to find two
big meetings in session at the same
time in the same town, but such was
true. and as true as can be. The A.
NJ. E. conference and the Baptist State
convention, and there were some lively
times in both of them. For the next
wear or so you will find wherever there
is a BAPTIST convention there will be
something doing, and don't mind tell
ing you about this, because L am
Kansas Baptist right from the farm.
You want to know what happened,
and I will have to tell you. The fol-
lowers of the real National Baptist
convention were there, and then there
were the followers of DR.. E. P. Jones,
and they were there to capture the
convention just like they tried to do
in Chicago, and did not have any more
success, and jumped right into court
and got a black eye. The court de-
cided against the case that he brought
there himself. 1 tell you God Is some
where in this matter.
DIR. E. G.. Morris must be right, be-
cause God and the people are with MIN,
and he is just sweeping the country.
He is strong man, a good man. and
a friendly man to all of his people.
You will say this also when you have
the pleasure of meeting him.
spent all the time could in Nash
vile, and then saw the close Oh the
conference, and Tuesday, 1 got myseit
together to start for another part of
the world. I went down to the stable
and got on the N. G. & st. Il. wagon
headed for Chattanooga, but l wanted
to come to Normal. Of course found
my way to the place set apart for US
to ride, and I did not fail to ind my
way there. I am not going to get
mixed up in the least with this law
down here, but intend to be law-aold-
ing citizen, but I am not going to tell
you that I am satisfied. 1 enjoyed
being with my people until we reached
Decherd, when had to change, and
then made another change, and reached
here about 9 O'Clock Tuesday night.
