ERABIE TIME IN TEXAS, THE LONE STAR STATE
AND HE Is HEADED NORTHWARD AND HE EX-
Poets TO STRIKE CHICAGO IN TIME TO SPEND
THE HOLIDAYS.

lett, who is indeed a fine school man,
was at the bat knocking out inside
kinks, and preparing boys and girls
for thinkers. He himself is a deep
thinker.
1t would not be out of place for me
to say word about Rev. Hughes. lie
is a scholar and a preacher. He has
done a great work in Cameron. and the
people did not hesitate at the banquet
that night TO tell the Bishop they would
like to have him returned. He is Just
good, refined Christian gentleman.
Right by his side is to be found his
wife. Mrs. L. VI. Hughes, who was for
long time one of the leading teach
ers. but is now engaged in religious
work. She is president of the State
Missionary, and fine speaker She j.
in the hearts of the people here, and
they are proud of her.
Of from Cameron. after spending a
part of two days there for the place
where / am now, and here is where the
Central Texas conference is in session.
the conference where Prof. A. S. Jack
son belongs, a conference that is doing
great work, and has grown so that
they will have 10 turn it into two con
ferenees. People are here from all the
other conferences, and a large delega-
tiOn from Georgia came along to see
how Bishop johnson is getting along
in his new field of labor 1 can say
to them that he is just doing the work
that's all.
As have told you before, there are
many strong men in Texas, and then
there are many candidates. Among the
strong young men, / would mention
Rev. J. V. B. Coins, whose home is in
Austin, and who is the son of his faith
er, and his father was one of the
greatest preachers Texas has given to
seeking anything just now the time
will come when the episeopacy will
seek him. He is sitting down now and
looking at the other aspirants, and
will decide between this and 1924 Just
who he will support.
In this number of aspirants we have
Revs. E. J. Howard, a giant in intel
leet, and a Christian, and the same can
be said about Revs. II. A. Carr, S. B.
Butler, G. B. Young, p. c. Hunt, and
one of the leaders in the young men is
looking for the Church Extension, but |
DR.. B. F. Watson is to hold that until |
the Lord calls him home. Rev. S. J.
Johnson is one of those men who de-
serves promotion. He is hard worker
and loyal TO the cause. DR.. W. D.
Miller, would-be editor of the South
ern Christian Recorder, if lie can just |
get votes enough to beat Rev. G. W.
Allen, which is a hard thing to do.
am not going to predict anything.
will leave this in the hands of the men
who will do the voting. Plenty time, I
and 1 will turn loose in time.
1t seems that the men are going to
really break up lynehing. The men
who believe that they are called upon
to take the law in their hands and kill
up criminals, or accused criminals, be-
fore it is known whether or not they
are guilty, will find themselves filling
up some of the vacant space in hell. If
you are in doubt you just write at
leisure and ask Governor T. W. Biek-
EFT, Raleigh. y. c., and he will let you
know the truth and it shall make you
whole. 1 have learned this, and be-
lieve in every inch of it. If you are
looking for n berth in hell join a
lynching party today. The law is GO
ing to be upheld.
But 1 am just now praying for the
men who are to be legally lynehed in
Arkansas. l hope that they will not
be. God will take some of them law
folks away from this world, and then
there Will be many people to leave Ar
kansas if this is done. Put il down
hat l told you so. What part are you
going TO play? Let us hope and pray.
may have something to say later.
