CHARLES E. STUMP, THE KANSAS
FARMER NEWSPAPER WRITER, is STILL
ENJOYING HIMSELF IN THE SOUTHERN
STATES. HE WILL ATTEND THE MA
TIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION AT ST.
LOUIS, MISSOURI.

Pine Bluff, Ark.-Did you ever skin
the cati That is just what the French,
the English and the Americans are do
ing with the Germans and all their fol-
lowers just now, and they are going to
do even more before this thing is over.
Them Huns had just as well get wings
and go to flying, and if they do our fleet
will overtake them. 1t will be a ques-
tion in a very short time, where can 1
go to be savedi
Ny country is just getting its blood
hot, and you may know just to what ex-
tent when I tell you that some of our
men as black as the blacklist ink are
turning red in the face at the mere men
tion of the Kaiser, and are Just anxious
to get a chance at him. His days are
numbered, and it will not be long before
the whole world will be called upon to
attend his funeral and the rest of the
Huns are going to take wings and run
like turkey.
OF course we are going to win this
war, and we are going to win it with
ease. We have already the trained men,
and we are calling for men to get behind
them in case they need little help.
OF course you know Colonel Frank
Denison, and the world will know him
when the war is over. He will have
passed from the rank of a mere colonel
and will be some other big warrior, and
it will not be handed him from a Christ
mas tree, but will be won by real brave
heroic service rendered in the trenches
and on the battlefelds of France. Of
course the war calls for sufferings, but
the American people are willing to do
that suffering in order to win freedom
for the world. We are willing to do any
thing that is even limited by our Presi-
dent or those associated with him. We
believe in America.
Getting around is an interesting thing
and have been doing just little of
it since wrote to you last, and am
willing to do just a little more before
I am through with this thing. I was
in Ennis when wrote to you, and from
there went to Temple to be present at
a Sunday school convention and B. Y.
P. .. convention. I certainly did enjoy
meeting these workers for the Lord.
The State Sunday school convention
was presided over by Rev. A. Barbour,
D. D., of Galveston, Tex, who is indeed
a remarkable character and a man of
worth. I found pleasure in seeing him
preside over Sunday school workers. He
is one of the great men of Texas and
pastor of very large church in Calves
ton, where he has been for many years
and where he can stay for many more
if it is his desire.
Rev. Joseph Wilson, D. D., was pastor
of the church where the convention was
held, and he is a good pastor and fine
young man. To have met him was
source of great pleasure and comfort.
He is a leader of men. 1 have known
him a long time and know whereof 1
speak.
The convention was called to order
and Rev. J. E. Knox conducted the open
ing, using as his theme, "The Power of
Prayer" 1 never heard so much about
prayer since have been in the world.
1 am going to pray little more myself,
and get little closer to God. think we
all should do this when we think about
all them Germans and what they are do
ing and what they are going to do for
this thing you call democracy. I am
about it. Then a few of US
men who have been on the farm for /
long time will have to quit to go to work
and do another honorable thing, and that
is to serve our country, and if neces-
sary die for it. This dying business is
sweet when it means the saving of a |
country and a people. I am going to do
