The broad ax., 1922-09-23

I
| would be in some other part of the
world, but believe me when tell YOU
that / have been going some looking
for health. did not think that
through that wonderful physician,
DR.. George C. Hall, and this trip, I
am about to feel like another man.
But, honey, it is as hot as the place
where some people are going If you
don't care about what you say.
We all know of the death of DR..
E. c. Morris, and now that he has
been laid to rest, they haYe called the
next session of the National Baptist
convention to be held in St. Louis.
No, December 6, and have invited
me to be there, and if / keep my
word and life, l expect to be there,
do you? OF course there is much
being said now as to who would be
a good man to succeed DR.. E. c. Nor
ris, and / have but one name to offer
for that place and that is the name of
DR.. l. K Williams, pastor of the
Olivet Baptist church, and am sure
that he is the man that should be the
next president, and he will carry
out the work, and see to it that DR.. A.
NJ. Townsend is supported in the re-
election of the Publishing House for
the Sunday School Board of the Ma
tional Baptist convention, and l will
join in the chorus.
Since ] wrote you that other letter,
| got myself together, stopped over
in Colorado Springs, where Bishop
H. B. Parks, DID,, was holding
conference, and exchanged a few
words with him, and then made It on
to Denver where l was the guest of
the Rev. DR.. w. H. Thomas, pastor
of the Shorter Chapel AM.E. church,
the largest church in the city of Den
yer now. There was a time that Zion
was some pumpkins, but it is down
at the heels now, and we are turning
attention to the other churches. They
have had heluva time in Zion, and
many Of the members have left. The
pastor declares that he is going to
remain if he is the only member and
he will'have to pay his own salary.
You know something about Denver
in fact you know more than ] can
tell you, and ] am not going to try,
but | remained in the city only one
night, and then of to another part
of the country. / got me a bed car
from Denver to Williams, Arizona,
where / had to change to go to Grand
Canyon, and il. you have never been
there / would recommend that you go |
and see for yourself. II is reached |
by the Santa Fe and a place absolute
ly free from prejudice, where a man
is a man, and his accommodation is
backed by his dollars and not by his
color. There are two hotels, and they
are open to the public, medium and
hrst-class. One of them you can get
a room as cheap as $50, and the
other runs from So up including
meals. stopped at one of the hotels,
and as to which one / am not going
10 tell you, for you may have some
hing to say about it, and since it was
ny pocketbook's business, you must
leep out of it.
Would you like to have me tell you
what this thing is? / couldn't if
ried, but / will just say it is won
lerfuL You stand on the top OF a
mountain and look down for one mile,
ocks of various colors, and it is just
5 miles across, and there forms the
