must be toted around on q silver tray
and only the high ups can reach them,
but it is not 90 with Mrs. Hurst; she
goes into the humble cottage, ready and
willing to serve, and In this way she
has the love and confidence Of al the
people, and this causes many Of them to
love the bishop.
I heard Mrs. Hurst make q great big
speech IN DeLand, Fla, and there were
many wealthy White people present, but
that did not prevent her from doing her
duty. She spoke right out in church
and declared that womanhood was NOT
color; not hair; but purity of life. al
speak to You today" she said, Gas q
woman, and my color has nothing to do
with it. The greatest being on earth
is q woman, and there is no higher title
than that Of mother. I love the word,
and I am happy indeed when can hear
my son say Mother At home used
to hide from him in order that could
hear him call Mother The mother
should strive to make home happy and
bring up her children properly. Teach
them the doctrine of work. Teach them
if they would wear fine clothes they
must earn them"
Now that the commission has selected
st. Louis for the next session of the
A. N. E. general conference, they are
getting in shape for it, and the positions
are being given out now. I have told
you that Florida is going after the posi-
ton of financial secretary, and would
place Prof. Hawkins at the head of one
Of the great schools.
They would send DR.. ]. W. Rankin
from the secretary of missions to posi-
ton Of Bishop in West Africa, and
Harry P. Anderson, D. D., of Atlantic
City, would be placed in charge Of the
Office in New York City, and
he would make a good one. There is
DR.. John A. Gregg, president of Edward
Waters College, the scholar and preach
sr, would be made Bishop for South
Africa, and believe me he would do q
great work there. He has had q deal Of
experience there and is the man for the
place. I would also mention DR.. A. L.
Gaines, of Baltimore, Nd, who is in line
FOR the bishoprie, and he would make
/ good one.
DR.. W. A. Fountain, president Of Nor
is Brown University, another great
scholar and preacher. BE viii take q
legree from the Northwestern Univer-
Iity this summer, and for this he has
,een working. DR.. W. Sampson Brooks,
me Of the hardest worked men in the
African Methodist Episcopal Church,
md the man fitted by training and by
nature for the highest Office in the gift
# his church, is in line, and he should
,e elevated. I long to see before his
lame FBishop." There are others
whose names I win not be able to men
ion this week.
I am still thinking about that big
Meeting in DaytOna, when vice-Presi-
lent Thomas B. Marshall, Of the United
Itates, viee-President J. W. e. Bowen
f Cannon Theological Seminary, Hon.
Emmett J. Scott and Bishop John Hurst
poke. I can see our queen, no doubt
Ike Qusen Of sheba, Mrs. Mary Nc
cod Bethune, getting around, backed
y that ripe scholar Of our race, Mrs.
Kaiser. I could just write o month
bout the wonderful things I have seen.
must not forget the young people, for
hey are represented by Dr.. J. G. Cald.
Tell, ana when he is made bishop they |
Eil still have in him friend and .
He is needed on that
eneh.
Ithiak I have said enough for this |
ime and win bring this letter to q stop.
