obeying the orders Of the doctor
strictly. This is what you want me I'd
81 and you will be glad to know it.
here are SO many people who want
me 70 remain here for a long time.
While in Waxahachie, / was the
guest Of Dr. 1. c. Moore, one Of the
leading physicians in the country, and
a man who knows how to help to kill
bugs who seek to DESTROY life. H.
put his bug language listener 70 nv
breast--in fact he went all around me
with It, and then took deep interest IN
me during my stay there as did his
wife, and | was just kept right On
what they called strict Diet but ID
save my life, / don't understand lust
what that was. | had my eats two
times every day. In the morning /
mad grape fruit or cream of wheat,
and at dinner had a little fish, lamb.
mutton or chicken, just one or the
other, and that was all during that
day.
! wish you could just see the front
Of my back now. It has certainly
gone down, but then that's nothing
to what it could have been.
But here | am getting away from
that conference. They had some busy
doings there, and they had few Wis
itors. Not any foreign visitors, but
those who were interested in getting
promotions in the state, or to see
their friends put over. This is the big
year in conferences, and things are
Just happening. Rev. c. w. Abingdon
was elected to lead the delegation, and
he is good man. He is the man
that the conference wants for leader,
and then he don't want to stop there,
but he is asking the general confer
ence to make him successor to ST. G..
w. Rankin, Of New York, missionary
secretary.
Speaking Of DR.. Rankin, he is now
on his way to the other world, and it
is said that he viii never get back to
normal condition in this world. He
has been a hard worker in his ways.
| know something about the great
things accomplished by him. l re-
member Of having made trip across
the Atlantic with him. He was my
roommate on that big old ship, and
what time we had, but all of his talk
was about his church. He was de-
voted to that, and was a good repre-
sentative in Edinburgh, Scotland. We
were there together and got much out
Of it.
1t was 1912, two years later that he
was elected missionary secretary in
Kansas City, Mo-, which position he
has held since, but now that his health
has gone off on vacation, and that
vacation is indefinite the church is
called upon to make a change, and /
find that Rev. Noah Williams, Of
Louisville, KY, is aspiring for the
place, and the same is true of Rev.
Hadley, a presiding elder in Georgia,
and then there are others, whose
names do not know just now, but
these three men are prominent and
one of them is going to beat the other
two. / do not know which it will be.
/ would not forget to remind you
that DR.. B. F. Watson, who held the
position of Church Extension Secre-
tary, has crossed over, and that place
is still open and will be until next
May, when the general conference will
fiji It. Rev. s. J. Johnson, is the man
for the place, and : am Of the opinion
that he will be elected, All Of Texas
AZ well as other places will be behind
him and It will be hard to defeat a
man like that.
| could just name for month the
men who want to be Bishop, but then
time will not permit me to do so, but
/ would remind you that Prof. John
R. Hawkins is going to have some OPP
position this time. Rev. DR.. H. S.
Sims. Of Fort Worth, Texas, has
thrown his hat right in the ring and
in the middle at that. and he has many
friends. / do not know just what the
result will be, and We will leave that
with God, but there is going to Be
some doings.
Here / am today. the guest Of a col
lege president, Dr. M. w. Dogan, Of
WHEY college, which used to be Wiley
University, but It has moved up few
degrees and is now college. DR..
Dogan has been here for 2 years or
more and he is one more good man.
/ am having a fine time, and will re-
turn some day. ] will not enter into
details. but will tell you next.
Now / must bring this letter to a
stop. You may write to me next at
z48 Pleasant Street, Hot Springs,
Ark. as / will Be there all next week

W. II. Falconer, and John L. Webb,
