The broad ax., 1922-06-17

Austin, TeXaS.-This is the town
where lives the Rev. DR.. l.. L. Camp
bell, Baptist preacher, and | am told
that he is called a traitor, and a man
who would see any member OF his
race knocked out of the box II it would
please white man. | am not dishing
this out for truth, but the people OF
this place say all kinds of things about
aim and he is called everything but
child OF God.
In my last letter. | asked you to
pray for me, and l am sure that you
have been praying for | am still on
earth and in Texas at that, but If you
want to reach me with a letter just
send it care Mr.. n. G. Pitts, 2355 East
9th street. Los Angeles, Cal, for /
expect to be somewhere near that
point when you read this letter, and
from there | will make a trip to Chi
cago, reaching the windy city about
July |.
Speaking of Chicago, am informed
that the people are just getting ready
to put the big pot in the little one
when the young people come there
next August to the National Congress
OF the Allen Christian Endeavor
League. OF which DR.. s. s. Morris is
the big secretary and chief The local
committee is at work and every step
says success. 1t will be the largest
convention of young people ever held
in the city of Chicago They will be
there in large numbers from all parts
OF the country. The summer schools
will be out, and the teachers will wend
their way to Chicago to be in this
great school OF methods looking to
the elevation OF the young people.
Connected with this meeting there will
be business feature. a social feature,
an educational feature and a religious
feature, and if you are not there you
will miss much.
But let me now call your attention
to the fact that am in Texas, and at
tended the Grand Lodge OF Knights
of Pythias in San Antonio, Texas, last
week. and they were there as thick as
fieaS in the back OF some dogs, and il
was a business session from start to
finish. | would first tell you about
some OF the visitors leaving out envy
self. Supreme Chancellor s. w. Green,
OF New Orleans accompanied by
his wife. He was the chief visitor to
the grand lodge and she was the queen
OF honor at the grand court Of Calan-
the, and both gave good instructions
and advice to our people.
OF course. you know Supreme Chan
cellor s. w. Green, for he is the man
who stands for right, and believe he
would suspend his daddy from the or
der If he failed to comply with the
law, and he now has Missouri outside
looking in, but | have told you about
that before. He has many friends.
There was Supreme Attorney s. A.
T. Watkins, and he was from way up
wonder in Chicago, and was brave
enough to come down here in Texas,
and believe me when ! tell you he
spoke right out in church. He did not
come down with advice, Make friends
with the white folks. but told his
people to be friendly with all people,
when it can be done in manly way,
and in all times stand erect. The time
has passed he contended that the
Negro should go with a down hung
head and an aching heart. God has
not wanted man to fear him, but love
Him and such should be the case with
all other men. They should not ex-
pect more than God. obey the law,
and do right, and fear no human be-
ing"
Attorney Watkins is southern man
and he knows conditions. He IS a
good lawyer and is serving his peo-
pie we'll in that capacity. If you want
TO see him get busy, just let the in
formation reach him that the white
man is trying to legally rob his people
of some Of their rights, and you will
find a real busy man.

Kansas. and Grand Worthy Counsel
