You are certainly going there. Mine
IS not to revenge, but turn you over
to God But they may not hear me
speak today, but the time will come
when they will hear my Father in
Heaven.
l am sorry that l will not be able
to tell you the exact number of miles

year, but l may do so in my next let
ter, for just as soon as l get thru

have been in touch with one of
our great educators-but with others,
yet | must say a word about this one,
DR.. F. Jesse Peck, the president of
Western University, Quindaro. and
one OF the best in the country. He is
a product of Hampton Institute,
Storrer college, and Oberlin. He is
a man of much training, and l want
to congratulate the African Metho-
dist Episcopal church and the state
of Kansas for having such an able
man at the head of their school, and
directing the shaping of the lives of
the future manhood and womanhood.
He is one more polished, refined, Gull
tured Christian gentleman.
When he was selected by the Board
to take charge of the work, it was
way down at the heel, but now they
have there about 500 students, and
still they are applying for admission.
He is just the man for the place.
Back of this great man-making ma
chine the institution, is the great state
of Kansas. You know something
about Kansas, because this is the
state that furnished to the world John
Brown, the state that furnished Car
RE Nation, the state that believes in
every child being educated, that be-
lieves that if it would remain great
it must produce great men and women
through great institution, and you
may put It down with Gov. Allen al
the head, things are going right there
The state is not stingy when II
comes to making men and women
when it comes to educating them
That is indeed a beautiful campus
fine buildings, and on the campus is
statue of John Brown. This was
the heart of the late Bishop Grant
and is loved by Bishop Parks.
DR.. Peck has a wonderful influence
in the institution, and he is using il
for good. Kansas is the home of DR.
| J. r. Ransom, a great man and a
great leader, the home of other
preachers and men of worth, and they
have some fules there too, but / have
not been able to meet them. In the
state / associate with culture and
thought, and am some thinker my.
self
Speaking of Bishops, they are going
to make some in the next general
conference, but just where It is going
to be, / am not prepared to tell you
but think it will be in Louisville
Ky. 1t will be settled at the meeting
held in February in Montgomery
Ala. All plans are being laid for this
meeting, and Louisville is going after
il in good old Kentucky style. DR.
A. ]. Carey will head the committee
to extend the invitation. The Gov,
ernor, the Mayor, and all other state
officials will join in inviting this great
body to come here, and we expect to
see some new bishops made, and DR.
IS. ]. Johnson, of Texas made the
Secretary of Church Extension. He
is a strong man. DR.. R s. jenkins
of Fort Worth OF Dallas, will be the
next general secretary to succeed
Bishop William Decker Johnson, who
was Just made a bishop. DR.. Jenkin:
is a man who knows his business
when i comes to using the pen and
he viii have his place by merit

ton to doing good Attorney 5
