CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR
TRAVELLING CORRESPONDENT
FOR THE BROAD AK, VISITED
HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA, AND TO-
PEkA, KANSAS, WHERE HE HAD A
ROYAL GOOD TIME WITH THE
BIGGEST PEOPLE IN THOSE TWO
TOWNS. j

ing, DIR. Hale came in, and remained
through the sermOn,-in fact he waited
to tote me over TO his place for dinner,
to remain over night. The invitation
was accepted, and we went over. The
table was ladened with chicken and
other good things. Believe me, got
on the outside Of just so much and
stopped. but / have seen the time that
would have put three times that
much on the inside. But / am going
slow and getting down trying TO get
rid Of them bugs that are trying TO fix
me 20 the extent that the worms can
get fat or Of my eareas by eating three
or four meals a day. But you see DIR.
George c. Hall, and Dr. H. W. Conrad
have fooled them telling them that they
were liars, and 1 am still here.
After the dinner, DR.. Hale invited me
to join him and his family in a cool of
ride, and of course / accepted. We
rode for three hours or more, getting
back TO the Mile Hale hospital there
was a calling waiting for him. He
said that we could make it out there
and get back in time for church, and
accepted the invitation, and it made
me feel like / was some doctor too.
We got out there, and there was a man
coming up the road saying care you
coming after me, dOctOr' Come right
on" He led the way TO the house.
We thought he was only drunk, but
found that he had been stabbed by an
other man in two places. DIR. Hale in a
few minutes fixed him and he was on
his way rejoicing. He is one more fxer.
DIR. J. IT. Hale is one Of the greatest
surgeons in this country, and we will all
have to give it to him. About 4 week
ago, about 1880 at night the police
rushed into the Mile Hale Hospital
one J. B. Bate, the son of the late Prof.
J. B. Bate. He was in a very serious
condition. Now you will have to know
what all this is, for I do not, but do
know his stomach was hanging out.
The record is:
AN incised wound was made begin
ming at lower part of the sterbum cut
ting two ribs and stomach in two. The
transverse colon was severed, the con-
tents Of the stomach being poured into
peritoneal cavity. A partial gastreetomy
was done Immediately, with a lateral
anastiomosis. There were also deep
wounds Of the neck, a laeerated wound
in the lungs, side and head. All were
repaired, the entire operation being
completed in forty minutes. Patient
was put to bed and in five days after
wards patient was out of danger, and
is now rapidly recovering" am told
that DR.. Hale took out eight inches of
intestines Now this is wonderful. I
am now proud of DR.. Hale. This case
has its place in history. He will shine
forever.
Sunday night I had the pleasure of
preaching for the Rev. DR.. J. T. Brown,
Of Spruce Street Baptist church. He is
doing a great big work there. But I
must not forget to tell you that on my
way back TO the stable, had the pleas
ure of seeing DR.. r. H.BOyd, of the Ma
tional Baptist Boyd Publishing Board.
He is in bad health. Let US all pray
that he may be restored to health. for
he is not Just yet ripe for the Kingdom,
and I want that this venerable worker
shall make ii into the kingdom Of
heaven. just as soon as that matter is
straight with the National Baptist
convention, then it will be better for
all.
Speaking of the National Baptist
convention, they have decided to erect
one Of the largest-no, mean the larg-
est and most complete publishing plants
in America owned and operated by our
people. I can see no reason why this
cannot be done, for they have the num-
Der and then they have the money.
DR.. A. VI. Townsend is just a leader of
men, and one Of the greatest leaders in
America. He is a Sunday school man
from his heart.
/ shall have more TO say to you next
week. I am going to tell you about
other things. 1 am not well as write
this week, but hope that time will bring
about improvements. Good bye.
Charles Z. Stump.
