wrote to you last, and you viii see that
am in the city which has been placed
on the map and which has been made
famous. I did not start out to give you
history Of the world, hence you will
be satisfied with just what I have told
you and take my word for the rest.
There are many things easier than
making q world, and while have not
tried to make q world myself have
been seeing thsIwOrId which God alone
has made. I have moved around in it
and there is lots Of room for fellow to
get around. I think was in and around
Birmingham, Ala, when I took my pen
in hand to inform you Of my health
then, and you see where am when I
write you these few lines this week.
From Birmingham I went to Montgom-
cry, Ala, and there I spent a day or
two meeting friends and others.
There have been a few things hap
pened in Montgomery, yet the people
have forgotten it all and they are now
striving to serve God. and that is the
proper thing for them to do. I can join
with them in saying the Lord hath done
great things. 1 had the pleasure of com
ing in touch with Rev. P. W. Walls, who
invited me to speak for him Sunday
morning, as he had been sick. This invi-
tation was accepted, and I made the ser
mon and got for my service s1.45. I
am of the opinion that the sermon was
not worth any more
on from Montgomery to another part
of the world. I went to q place they
called Mobile, Ala, and met some Of
the people there, including DR.. b. Roger
williams, the physician and thu man
who is just q busy man, believing in
making things happen I found pleas
ure in being with him and in his com
pany. dropped over to see the Knox
brothers, and from there moved on down
the road to New Orleans, where spent
only few hours dropping in to see the
Supreme Chanestlor Of the Knights Of
Pythias. He was glad to see me and
shook my hands like was really some
pumpkins. Hon. 8. W. Green has done
much to place the Knights Of Pythias |
on the map, and believe me they are
there and there to stay. he has been
careful in his investments, especially
has he acted wisely in what he has done
in Chicago, Ill. I have seen the prop
erty there and know whereof I speak.
Getting through in New Orleans, and
after taking up little time with Rev.
z. wittenburg, started out to see the
station where I could get started for
his part Of the world I got to the
stable just little late, and had to rush
% get my baggage in good shape, and
'ome Of it was left behind, but have
'eceived it since. lsft on the 7. & P.
% make q change in Aexandria, La.
This change had q direct connection
With the Missouri Pacific, going to Lit {
lie Rock.
OF course have told you SO much
bout Little Rock until there is but lit
lie more to be said about it. went
Iirect to the Arkansas Baptist College,
where I found DR.. Joseph A. Booker,
yer his head in work. BE is one more 1
President Of the Arkansas I
BAPTIST College, secretary Of the Home I
aission Board of the National Baptist
and then editor of the Bap- :
ist Vanguard, one Of the leading papers

hat.
Vacation is on for the school, but not j
or Dr.. Booker. he was having q meet 6
az of the executive board Of his main
ody, getting in shape much Of the bust !
ess of the order. I mean for the Bap- y
SITS of this country. But an not GO 8
" to tarry there, for next found me v

is interesting family. Mrs. Booker is
ne Of the best teachers, and their
aughter, who married over q year ago, 4
J now the mother Of q daughter, and q
