cussingest man in the world.-in fact
you would have cutcussed the cusser,
and thought nothing of it.
When / wrote to you last was in
a city in Texas called Athens, and
there / was enjoying myself to the
highest. ! was present when Bishop
William Decker Johnson and his wife
celebrated their thirtieth wedding an
niversary, and it was just all right
honey. / was glad to be present at
that great event. / tell you, it is a
good man and a good woman who
can live together as husband and wife
for thirty years and still remain as
loving as before they got married.
This is the case with Bishop Johnson
and his wife. They are both doing
some real good work in Texas. Mrs.
Johnson is a woman whose life in
spires women of her race.
l am so proud of Mrs. William
Decker Johnson, and her ability as a
leader of women and an inspiration
to the young girls who are doing
things, and who are making it to the
front and top. She covers all the con-
ference with Bishop Johnson, and talks
to the women and girls. Now this
is as it should be, take interest in the
young womanhood. This world is
world and there will be another.
The men here are getting ready for
the big show or in other words for
the general conference which meets
in Louisville, Ky, / think. OF course
this has not been settled, but that is
good place, and a place where such
meeting can be held and the men
will have all the freedom they desire,
and all they would need. think it
will be a great thing to meet there, and
when they get there do few things
DR.. B. F. Watson, has rendered
great service to his church, and they
should retire him now on a pension,
for he is at the age where he should
not have any worry about anything.
Then bring to that place DR.. s. j.
Johnson, OF Texas, a we'll trained bust
ness minister, one who believes in the
extension of the church and would fll
the position we'll. DR.. Johnson, is
modest, yet he is cultured, we'll edu-
Gated. The same is true with others
in the world, but there is a young |
man who has won his place upward,
and merit should count
l have been with some of the men
in Texas who feel that the Lord could
make good use of them in the episco-
pacy, and they are not ashamed to let
the wishes of the Lord be known. In
this number there is that great preach
erin fact all are great preachers and
could I'LL the place. / will then men,
ton, Rev. s. B. Butler, of Austin, the
man who has passed through hades
itself for his church, and who is still
fighting to maintain the dignity of the
Metropolitan A. NJ. E church in Aus
tin, ard when he has won out, then
he will want to be a real bishop. These
are facts that must be fought out, and
will be brought to the front from time
to time.
Well / have had the pleasure of
meeting that ripe scholar, the commits
sioner of education for the African
Methodist Episcopal church, Prof. A
s. Jackson, of Waco. Texas, who has
been over in Europe and there he held
up the good name of our people there.
He is doing great big work, and then
he is a man of wealth, man of means.
am real proud of Prof. Jackson, and
am sure you will be. have about
said enough for this time.
shall have more to say in my
next letter. / have not mentioned Rev.
H. A. Carr. ] am going to receive my
Christmas presents at 1922 Aberdeen
street, Chicago. ! am headed that way
now, but my next letter will be from
Jefferson City, Mo.
