assistant supreme secretary; L B
Bailey, supreme treasurer, and ther
there are others whose names l dc
not recall, but they are strong mer
and women who make up the oficiaI
list and then some of the leading
men and women of the country help
to make up the general membership.
But now let me step back to where
was when wrote to you the last
time, and that was in Wheeling, w
Va. mingling with educators and 9th.
ers who were making me enjoy my.
self to the highest They were men
and women of high standing, men and
women of worth, and l want to here
take advantage of this opportunity to
express my thanks to Miss Alma R.
Lightfoot, one of the teachers in the
high school and a worker in the Blue
Triangle, Y. w. c. A., for inviting
me to come to town, and introducing
me to Rev. s. A. Davenport, the pas
tor of the Baptist church, whose guest
was during my stay in town. l was
busy all the time ! was in this city,
and / have been invited to return
another time, which l may do some
day. I had the pleasure of meeting
the pastors except one, although l
spoke IN his church.
In Columbus, Ohio, / spent a few
hours with Secretary Nimrod Allen.
He had just retired from executive
secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A, and had
new position. I do not understand
just what it is, but it is a high place,
and he Is fitted for il. Young Allen
stuck to the school room until he got
himself some real education, and now
he is using it to serve others.
Next found me in Wherefore Uni
versity, where 1 spent one night with
President John A. Gregg, and think
/ had as a bedmate one of the next
bishops of the A. NJ. E. church, DR..
R. c. Ransom, editor of the A. NJ. E.
church Review. l enjoyed very much
being there, and made few scatter
ing remarks to the students. But
went to the greatest business college
in this county for our people, and
that is the department at Wilberforce
under that great trained shorthand
writer, Prof. Charles s. Smith. He is
practical man, and, honey, he has
turned out some practical men and
women from this department. I found
the students there at work making
marks which they called writing, bu
l just decided that they were trying
to make their mark in life. l shall
talk about DR.. Gregg another time,
also Prof. Jenkins, the efficient secre-
tary of Wilberforce University. !
have something to tell you about
Dean Gilbert H. Jones in another let
ter. l am now off from Wilberforce,
stopped a few hours in Cincinnati.
From Cincinnati, l beat it over the
B. & o. to ST. Louis, Mo-, and there
l spent some time or a day with that
Prince of Business Men, Prof. Aaron
E Malone, who has been sick for
sometime, and who is now recovering
from an operation. He was of good
cheer and spirits, and is doing good
and it will not be long before he will
be a real we'll man. He has had the
best of physicians and surgeons, and
then he has had the best possible
trained nurses to look after him, and
right by the side of the nurses has
been that genius, Mrs. Annie NJ. Ma
lone She is some nurse herself.
Mrs. Malone is at home in any
place filled by woman. She can clean
house, she can put on an apron
and go in the kitchen and cook any
kind of meal, and then she can roll
up her sleeves and wash and iron
then she can go in the parlor and
entertain you on the piano, then
she can discuss with you the classics
but / have never heard of her sing.
ing. During the illness of her hus-
band she has been under a great
strain, but you could not see it She
has had right by her side that eff
Gent secretary. Mrs. NJ. L Lansing
formerly of Washington, d. c.
From St. Louis to Little Rock, with
DR.. J. A Booker, and then on to this
place. 1 am going to step over into
Texas from here to be with Bishop
w. D. Johnson in conference. I an
going to Hot Springs.
