in a busy city like this. They are
happy, and are looking forward to the
time when the general conference will
make Dad" Bishop, and he is a de-
serving man. l shall have more to
say about him later.
! am here attending a great meet
ing, the National Baptist Sunday
School and B. Y. P. u. Congress. and
you may put it down that l told you
that the young people were here and
in large numbers at that consider
that il was the number that John
saw, and then there were some that
John did not see, and some that had
never seen before. l had the pleasure
of seeing some of the brainy young
people of the Baptist church. and of
the whole race Then | met some ex-
perts in Sunday School and B. Y. P.
u. work, and that was worth some
thing, and it is hard TO tell what it
will not be before / am through with
this world.
The Congress was presided over by
the Rev. DR.. D. w. Cannon, of Atlanta,
Ga, who is a progressive and aggres-
sive educated minister of the Baptist
faith, and a man who is a leader of
young people. l wish you could have
heard his address, and then heard him
when he pulled off his coat and rolled
up his sleeves so to speak and went
straight after the dancers, the card
players and other little no-harm, life
destroying games. He showed deep
interest in the young people of his
own race, and then stepped over into
my race and articulated a few things.
1t was a great big meeting; there were
great big men here from everywhere.
l wish you could have been here to
have seen for yourself, but then 1 will
not take up your time in this matter
now, but will move along. DR.. w. H.
Jernagin, president of the National
Race Congress of America, and a
strong advocate for the rights of his
people, was here. He is the vice
president, and a great leader. He was
indeed active in the Congress, and
then he had a conference.
Speaking of conference, right here
in New Orleans, right in the south,
there was an important meeting held
on race matters, and l am here to tell
you that they condemned in the
strongest language, lynching mob vio-
lence, and spoke right up like men,
and what they had to say was pub
lished in the daily paper.
Hon. S. w. Green, one of the
strongest men in this country, and
leader of men, was here, and he de-
Iivered a strong, conservative address.
He believes that the Negro should
put up his cash and not so much gas.
and 60 into the courts into the Legs
lative halls, and get what is coming
to him. If we don't put up a little
more cash and less gas and put a
check to lawiessness, we are going to
be in a heluva FIX. right here at home.
'Mr. Please Give Ne A Chance" is
not going to do the work. Chances
belong only to those who take them,
for they are scattered around over this
country for whosoever will.
/ had as my roommate, during the
session, Rev. James w. Gibson, a
from Kentucky-in fact he
is the superintendent of missions for
the Baptists of the state, and / am
told that he is a real good one was
glad to have him in the folding room
next to me, for he did all the praying, |
and honey, let me tell you he is one
more praying baby. and this accounts |
Tor his success. He knows how to
ak to the Lord in the latest style,
md l believe his prayers reach the
hrone.
But now, desire to call your
attention to a few things that are
yoing to happen this year. The
National Negro Business League will
meet in August at Norfolk, Virginia.
The National Allen Christian En-
leavor League Congress will meet

Iext September, and the B. NJ. c. will
meet in Cleveland, Ohio, in Septem-
Ter. There are other meetings, and
win call your attention to them from
ime to time. If I do not say as much
s you desire to have me say, then
gu will forgive me, I am sure.
God bless you. 1 am delighted to
e able to say word or two to you
{ this time. l will have to bring this
etter to a stop.
