my mind when | 60 to Hot Springs,
and get away with all my belongings,
and this IS what I have done, and if
you will listen to me I will just tell
you a few things and will take my seat
way back but I must talk to you first.
When | wrote to you last week, /
was just in Pine Bluff, Ark, or / was
in Forest City, and had been to see
some friends there. Now here am,
for | went from there to Pine Bluff,
and had the pleasure Of visiting the
Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal
School, and spent whole day with the
students. and Prof. and Mrs Malone.
Put it down that.I told you that Prof.
Malone was one Of the greatest edu-
Gators of the age, and man who is in
spring our young people. It was in
deed a pleasure to Be at this institu-
ton and to see what was going on
there. ! met the student body, talked
with them and then out to see some
parts of the working Of the institution.
visited the public school, and in
the afternoon the Rev. DR. Sims toted
me to the place to start for Hot
Springs, in his automobile car carriage.
1t was an enjoyable ride, and I thank
him even now. Prof. Malone told me
that Rev. Sims is to be bishop in
1928, and said "Thank God for that.
While at the stable waiting for the
iron horse, / had the pleasure Of meet
ing Mrs. S. w. Green, the wife Of one
of the busiest men in this country, S.
w. Green, supreme chancellor Of the
Knights Of Pythias, and the man who
is heading more men than any other
one man in this country. / was indeed
delighted to meet this genius, for she
is leader herself. She had been over
to see the sick, and was returning to
that nearby place, Hot Springs.
When we stepped off of the carriage
Of the Missouri Pacific, he was there,
looking at the passengers as they
stepped off, and, soon she was off and
he received her. He stopped to shake
my lily black hand. and assured me
that he was delighted to see me out Of
the grave He himself had been under
the weather, and had purchased a
brand new set Of teeth and is now
wearing them with pleasure, thus adj
ded to his years ~ living.
Supreme Chancellor Green was in
Hot Springs looking after the interest
Of the Supreme Lodge You see that
wonderful body has some money in
vested in that hot place. A fine bath
and sanitarium erected by them and
dedicated January 81, is now in full
bloom and you viii believe me when
tell you it is doing some real business
now
Let me tell you, I have never seen
anything like it in all the world owned
by my people. Luxury, we'll, I should
say so. No bath house in the town
excelled or got ahead Of it. 1t is a
dream. Polite and courteous attend
ants who will take you just like you
were child and wash you all over, and
then they put on the healing touches
for that water coming out Of the
ground heated by the fires of hell, will
get you well, and you need Jesus tc
get your soul well and prepared fol
eternity. One for body and the Other
for the soul The Lord hath beer
good to US.
