thing by u.s." "Damhno!" are the
question and answer you hear daily.
and ] am not prepared to say. 1t
will soon be a year since he was
elected president OF the United States.
and we all rolled up our sleeves and
went to work for him. l wrote,
spoke and / prayed, and then was
ready to lay aside my religion long
enough to do the other thing if it be-
came necessary. You all know the
results from last November, and now
l am not any more ina hurry than he
was, but l would like to be knowing
something.
1t takes a man, and a real man at
that to be president OF the United
States, and / am praying that our
President stand in the shoes of a
man, and has on his top the real man,
There are a few Office seekers from
the South, as full of race prejudice as
hades is full of FIRE. They want the
Offices to be dished out by the Repub-
lican party, the party of Abraham
Lincoln, but they are unwilling to sit
in a convention with black men, and
the Democrats declare they do not
want him in their conventions or
party, and the question comes now
TO whom shall we go?" l mean if
President Harding and his party
should turn us down. | have talked
with Hon. Chas. Cottrell, and he says
the President is all right, and that he
is going to do the right tt''g, and ]
will just say God grant md keep
my mouth closed and my pen still a
little while longer, and if he turns US
down we will be in a heIuva fix, and
you must not tell my pastor that /
told you this for he will turn me out
of church. ! want to get to heaven
when l die and have my funeral
preached in a Baptist church.
Since / wrote to you the last time
l have been trying to serve the Lord.
l have been to Chicago, and had the
pleasure of meeting the people at
Quinn Chapel, and they gave me a
royal reception the first Sunday
morning in October. They were out
in large numbers, and ] tried to bring
to them the Word, the message from
Heaven. DR.. H. E. Stewart, is indeed
fine and deserving man, and is do
ing a great work in Quinn Chapel.
/ want to congratulate Bishop Cop
pin for sending him there. He had
an eye to the best interest of the
church. 1t is one of the best churches
in Chicago, and our people built it
from the ground up. Wonderful in
deed the work we have done.
/ have been invited by DR.. d. w.
Cook, to speak for his people when l
am in Chicago, and | think ] will let
him know when l am going to be
there, because | am sure that / will
meet some of my friends who would
like to hear me, for l have been in
formed that some of the officials OF
Bethel have declared that they did
not want me in their pulpit, and /
have wiped my feet, and declared that
/ will stay out.
Rev. s. L. Brit is struggling and
trying to reach the people and do Ahe
right thing. ] hope they will rally to
him, and that he will be able to
erect that fine church which the con-
gregation needs. Bethel has had a
hard lick, and we want il to come
back to where it was some time
ago. There is no reason why il should
not The people are there, and the
strong pastor must reach out and get
them, not by force, but by the word
of God. / am sure that with Jesus
there, success is assured, and without
Him nothing but failure But why
take up time in this direction?
had the pleasure of going out to
Hope Presbyterian church. ! did not
know anything about this church. /
knew that the Rev. w. Edward VIII
liams was in Chicago, but / did not
know that he was doing such work
in the city. He has a great following
of young people, and here feel to
congratulate him. 1t is a practical
church and practical people. They are
getting out a magazine known as
Hope Presbyterian, and If is literary
gem, brim full Of information.
Sunday night made it over TO the
Chicago & Alton, got in a bed car,
