so, as far as I am able to see and
know.
If had any say about this matter
would tell DR.. Hair to remain Just
where he is and not shoot at the air.
He has the business down fine and
thinks that he knows what he is do
ings and where he is going. Rev. John
G. Morant was there, but he went into
the primary and was defeated, so he
thinks that he will wait and make the
run for Bishop four years from now
and then he will be a still stronger
man for the position. He will have
gotten on just little more experience
and flesh. He was here just the same.
Rev. G. E. Brooks, a native from Louis
lana, and a man of strong parts has in
mind to be the next financial secretary.
Of course he will have to beat Prof.
John r. Hawkins. I will not comment
on this
In this crowd of men rests the des-
tiny of some men. They will help to
elevate some, and defeat others. DIR.
D. 81. B Ter, was an unhappy man, be-
cause he was defeated in the primary
election by Hair. He says that it was
not fair and he is not going to abide
by his defeat, but will take his case
right on up to the general conference.
He believes that he is such a big bust
! ness man that he can just be elected
without his state behind him. He is
of the opinion that he is one of the
most knowingest men in all the world,
but he will learn a thing or two
before he is through with this thing.
He will have purchased some little ex-
perience, and that is just what we all
need in America.
The conference was just little gem
with all the surroundings to make the
men happy, and they were happy too,
am here to tell you. There were two
big conferences in session here at the
same time, the Louisiana conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church and
the one I have been talking about. I
shall not take up your time to tell
you about them now, and you will
pardon me If I fail to do so. But I
met an unusual character here in this
town. It was Madam Frances. E.
Motin, of st. Louis, Mo-, who is at
the head of a school of expression and
dramatic art. She made some hit down
here.
Madam Motin is doing college ex-
tension work, yet I do not know what
that is, but she is at New Orleans
University attending to some kind of
teaching and business there, making for
herself friends. It is nice to see our
people away from home making friends.
God ever bless this wonderful charac-
ter. I heard her recite in the con-
ference.
Then, found me considering the
world. Other conferences have met.
Rev. W. A. Fountin, will go into Phila-
,delphia with Georgia behind him, and
he will certainly be elected, and I can
see no reason why he should not be
elected. He is a scholar, clean man,
and then he knows how to preach &C.
cording to my way of thinking.
But then I shall not take up your
time to talk about preaching, for Chi
cago will be in the general conference,
and I find that DR.. A. J. Carey has
many friends down here. I will have
to bring this letter to stop. In my
next letter I shall have something else
to say to you. am getting ready to
spend a day in Union town, the place
where Bernard W. Fits, the printer
spent his boyhood days. I hope to
meet his mother, father, sisters and
brothers If he has any Of them, and Il
not then some of his play boys and
girls. Look out for my next letter.
