lniekle in the slot before 4 could get TO
talk. Then when I was through there
stood in the door of the booth great
big white man (pOlicePan), who looked
me night in the face, and gave him
Hook right back. You must take time
and look up some things for US. But
now about that policeman. He said to
me:
"YOu don t know where you are do
youi"
'.I don't know, thought I was in
hell siri" was my reply, "have made
mistakei"
"YOu should have gone in that Mig
ger waiting room, for there is a phone
in there for you"
al have not been in there"
"Then you should have asked some
one about it."
"I would have sir, but your royal
highness was not here for me to ask,
hence I did not see any sign up here
except public telephone and proceeded
to use it."
"Don't give me any Of your lip, for
il you do I will lock you up"
"I do not have any lip to spare, but
I have no objection to you locking me
up. 1 am a passenger, and if you lock
me up I will get some pocket change
which I very much need"
By this time there was a crowd
around US, and he told me to either go
in there, pointing to the eOlOred wait
ing room or go out, and it was then ]
told him that would 60 out and send
word to my friends that I had been to
he'll and got out safe.
Such is our civilization, but 1 think
&c will be all right after a while. 1t
has been said that the darkest hour is
just before day, and it is certainly
some dark now. Think of COvington,
Ga, and it win make every drop of
blood in your body boil. Let Us hope
that this is a step toward civilization.
Let us pray God to send us some mis-
sionaries from China, Japan India,
Africa or any other heather land
where we are sending them, that we
may be reached, and if the religion of
Jesus Christ don't suit the people who
do these things perhaps we can get
something else to him.
I am not going to comment much on
this matter for am too sick.
at heart. made my way to the Mil
