FOR THE BROAD AK, STILL CON

HE HAS STRUCK MARSHALL
TEX. ON HIS WAY TO CHICAGO,

Marshall, Texas.-That the year is
coming to a close there is no question
about it, but the only thing in my
nina. Il what has it meant to you, and
what have you done to make it better
The world has nothing TO do with
making itself, but the people must do
tbe making. What wonderful plan
God has devised for man.
IN few days from now we win bt
called upon to assemble somewhere
and give thanks to Almighty God
setting apart this day, already Presi-
dent Coolidge has issued his Procla-
nation. and the last Thursday in No
yember, which is the 29th day, we will
90 into church somewhere and hear
sermon, and offer up a prayer to our
Heavenly Father. Have you some
thing to Be thankful for? l am sure
that you will.
After the service there win be a
downfall Of Turkey and the overthrow
Of Greece, and in this you will take
a part. If you have nothing else, ]
wish you would thank God that you
are not big fat turkey gobler, for il
YOU we're you would perhaps be on the
table in the White House and lots 81
people who are closely connected with
the president would satisfy their ap-
petites from your carcass, and then
leave your bones-well, l don't know
where they would be scattered.
Many a soul had planned for this
day. but they are not here, God de-
creed otherwise, and thought / would
have been with that number, but here
| am plodding along, trying one more
time to render some service in weak
way, for have not gotten rid of that
bug disease which DR.. Hall and theirs
have been fighting SO hard, known as
"Myocarditis" and if is big word,
- go. - eco., - I rav rrat = hso
dictionary am going to look it up.
l do not need to look it up for it is
already in, and must try to get it
both up and out.
have not heard from Rev. DIR. A,
NJ. Townsend, secretary Of the Sun
day School Publishing Board of the
National Baptist Convention, but !
feel that the Baptists have responded
to his call, and his SOS. has been
heard all over America. do not
know much about this, but do know
that the Bethesda Baptist Church OF
this place, put down ten dollars Sun
day night, and turned it over to me
for that purpose, and it is going of
right in this mall The work shall
not be delayed on my part, but i viii
60 right along.
l wrote that other letter from
Houston, Texas, but now / have left
that city, as you see, and am still
fighting the bugs. You may think |
am myself again, but far from it, yet
I am to try to live with you little
longer. I feel like telling you what
happened in Houston, but then since
it is a preacher. and think he
thought he was doing right, ! viii not
tell you that he was to take me from
Houston to Waxahachie in his auto
mobile car carriage and another
preacher was to 60 along, and We
were going to furnish the gas and
he was going to step on it and
have that thing run her fool gas brains
out
1t would be out Of the question for
me to tell you that the preacher got
too much communion or some other
bug juice the day before we started
and ran into a truck, got arrested and
spent the night in the lookup. for that
Is none of your business, and ! just
wish that you attend to your own busi-
ness and let that mans affairs alone.
You are all the time trying to get into
the business Of others. Why in the
hen feathers do you want to do thisF
l will say that ! made il on the South
ern Pacific to Waxahachie, Texas.
