The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1920-05-29

you can guess where / viii be when
you read this letter, but 1 am sure
that will be some where between this
and eternity, but 1 win not be in
Florida you can just put down your
last dollar on that. I find that heaven
is my home, yet I am not very home
sick, but am waiting on the Lord
and If he should call me, viii answer
to the call.
If you recall l was mingling with
them big Baptist brethren up in Vir-
ginia and 1 was looking at them put
dollars on the table. Put it down
that told you honey, that they GER
tainly did put dollars on the table and
when they got through counting what
had been placed thereon they had
about $23, e94.IO, and they were not
through giving when I left. They de-
sided to 60 to Washington next year
for the next session of the convention
and perhaps that wonld be a good
place to go. That them people down
or up in Virginia are interested in
their own development has clearly
been shown to me, and I want to con-
graduate them. wish Others would
take courage, do more work and less
talk.
We are living in an age Ga do
things, and things are going to be do
ing after next month. I am now try
ing to get to Chicago to see the big
convention pulled of, and if I am
not there, will be around and about
there and see as much as I can and
when I get through seeing I am going
to leave for other parts. stuck
around in Staunton until the eonven-
ton was almost ready to come to a
stop, and I got myself together, bowed
and left with the crowd for another
part of the world and that place was
called Richmond, but believe me my
stay there in Richmond was short,
and when I got myself together I
left for Petersburg, when and where I
had the pleasure of spending the night
with the Rev. DR.. S. A. Brown, pastor
of the Gilfeld Baptist church. He is
fine preacher and worker. He is
just straight forward Baptist preach
er, one worthy of a place in the hearts
Of his people.
I got up bright and early Sunday
morning, toted myself over to the
stable and got on the wagon headed
for Raleigh, n. c., where it was my
pleasure to call at the home of Rev.
c. E. Askew, but he was out, that
did not discourage me, for I sat on
the front porch with his cat and when
1 was about to leave his bride came
up and 1 had already been talking
with Prof. and Mrs. Logan. She furn-
ished me with a fine dinner, with
chicken on the side and I sent it down
in my eternity, and left on the mis-
sion to start for this place.
1 was not at the stable long before
that great man, Berry O'Kelly- drove
up and wanted to shake my hands,
which 1 was glad to have him do, and
he was indeed thoughtful man, for
he brought along with him little box
in which was some chicken and other
good things ready for my eternity.
They went there and don't you forget
it.
1 had the pleasure Of meeting the
daughter of Bishop Delaney Of the
Episcopal church. I should have said
one Of them for he is the father of
more than one daughter and they are
doing something, but am not going
to discuss her Just now, but l may get
chance to tell you about her in an
other letter, but not just now. She
is Miss Delaney, but win not always
be Miss, but some day she is
going 20 become the wife Of some good
man and when it happens shall keeI
my eyes and ears open and win tel
you all about it. This world is just
full Of changes and every good woman
is going to be wife and I hope the
wife Of some good man. would Just
have it that way al the time If
could do 50.
Well, I am away, for I got on that
wagon and heard that old IrOn NhorsC
Of the Seaboard Air Line just gruni
and grone and beleh, like he was go
ing into the collie OF some other pain
full trouble. 1 just rode and rode
and rode until got OF in Jackson
vile, Fla, visited around for a little
bit and then found my way back &c
the stable at I:l5 and started fol
this place.
