the personal guest of Bishop William
Decker Johnson. u. D.. of Plains. Ga.

spent three or four weeks witt
Bishop johnson, leaving him in Waco,
Tex, where I went 10 Austin. for the
purpose of talking for the people there.
They had in mind to build hospital.
and asked me to come and help to raise
some money for the fund. and believe
me honey the people turned out in num-
bers to hear me and take part in my
talk.
I reached Austin the day ahead of
my talk. and went to the beautiful
home of DR.. Abner, and he has some
home. Mrs. Abner received me and
told me to be at home. I got in there
at night and she was ready and willing
TO do some cooking for me right then
and there. but I would not accept of
cats
Next morning a committee called TO
tote me around the city in an automo-
bile. I was ready TO go. We went to
TilstOn College. where I had to make
few remarks. then off TO n public
school. where I spoke three times. and
from there to Sam Houston College.
where I made another talk. and from
there TO the high school. where 7
spoke two times. and from there to
dinner. and after dinner to the Deaf.
Dumb and Blind Institute. where I had
TO speak to them. It is nice thing TO
talk to the deaf. dumb and blind.
While you talk TO the blind there is
teacher who stands by your side and
tells the deaf and dumb what YOU are
saying. actually had the deaf and
dumb laughing. as we'll as the blind.
At night after making all the afore-
said talks I was fresh and ready for
the big talk to a packed house. Well

prepared for me to use on that long
journey. $50 found me in Texarkana,
