this place before and do not wan
you to think that 1 have fallen fror
grace. I did not bet, but believe m

BY the doctor.
Getting through with all them thing
1 pulled back to New York, and spen
the night at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs
J. Satterwhite. They have nice quar-
ters and made me as welcome as ths
flowers in May. 1t was lust like re
eeiving a relative. I was so glad &c
have this pleasure.
Next found me away from New
York, for Philadelphia, where 1 spent
night with Mr.. and Mrs. Gaines,
and then of to Washington to spend a
night with DR.. W. H. Jernagin, and
now you see 1 am in this place. I
came down here to be with the Lott
Carey Foreign Mission Convention,
which is destined to be the leading
missionary organization in this country
among my people, and am sure you
don't mind having me tell you so.
1 reached her a little ahead Of time,
and found my way to Richmond first,
where our wagon was late on account
Of a washout. I did not mind that
washout, but waiting for time. and get
to town, called up Levi c. Brown, and
soon his car was right down to the
dock to receive me and tote me over TO
his home where a real dinner was wait
ing for me. 1 sent it into my own
eternity. and then looked around and
had a swim in his spaeial bath tub and
went TO bed.
Sunday morning I was up looking
for my trunks and other things, and
when 1 got them went to church
where 1 was the preacher. 1t was the
First Baptist Church, Brighton, and at
night 1 was the guest of Rev. N. E.
Davis, pastor of st. John A. NJ. E.
Church, Norfolk, where I made a
preach. 1 enjoyed this so very much.
Heretofore I have been going alone.
but this time I was met by Mrs. Elyie
L Stewart, the wife of Charles Stew
art, and she informed me that he had
requested her to come along to report
what L was doing. While 1 told her
I was my own porter and could port
for myself, yet accepted her and she
has been spending a week watching
me, and I have been walking the chalk
line and there is not any chalk on my
feet.
Now about this Lott Carey eonven-
ton. They met and the presiding
officer was Rev. c. 8. Brown, D. D., of
Winton, N. c., a fine man believe me
honey. He makes a good presiding
officer and then he Is directing men to
the point of doing more than talk.
The convention met raised money, re-
ported on missionary work done, and
than haard frou, missionaries from
Africa Now they say they are going
to do more
1 believe what I heard about the
convention for they selected one of the
leading men in the whole country,
Rev. A A. Graham, D. D., of PheObus,
Va, and made him the regular CORE
spending secretary to take charge of
all the missionary work under the di-
rectiOn of the convention. he is go
ing to resign his church and give his
whole time to the work. He is one of
the strongest and best men in the
country, and there was no mistake
made in his selection.
Lott Carey is to be a power in this
country, and DR.. Graham, is going to
put it on the map. He is a great
preacher, and then he has some real
good business sense to back it up.
These men are determined to bring
things to pass. They are doing their
