, lust showing to the world now wen
he can do business in the same old

hands on you.
/ am proud to tell you all this, and
then | met a young friend Of mine
here, w. r. DeLyles, who is the son
Of Dr. P. w. DeLyles, but he is maxi
| ing his own name He has been made
By the Lord the husband of wife,
and he is a proud husband at that.
He won the heart and hands of Miss
Anna Mae ANGUS, charming young
woman, and now he is in charge Of
the department of manual training in
the highschool here. He is doing
well.
Now, | have met people here from
all over the world, and want to pay
my respects to them. Frank War
ring is here, DR. A. A. Wesley, of Chi
cago, and E. B. Barco, of Boston,
Mass. Mr.. Barco is the grand chan
cellor Of Mass. He is the man who
has put Pythianism on the map in
Mass. He made a hit here in this
town.
But / have in mind star from
Chicago who is certainly shining
down here in Arkansas, and / am sure

her way and she is making hit. We
people up in Chicago or you people
like to know that Chicago is on top.
This is Mrs. Lou Ella Lyles Smith,
the sweet soprano singer. She vies
with the birds when she goes way up
yonder, so high that you look for the
bird. When she was making one of
those runs the other day the hun
dreds Of people who crowded in the
hall, and / think that was said to be
997 of them were just so still that
you could hear yourself breathe. She
is versatile artist, one of the finest
in America, and the people are just
calling for her down here and she is
making good, believe me, honey.
am proud that / had the pleasure
Of hearing her. She is her own bust
ness manager, her own private secre-
tary, her own maid and she is scat
tering sunshine into the hearts Of the
people of Arkansas. l am sure you
will rejoice to know that about her.
Information comes to me today that
Bishop Charles Spencer Smith, of
Detroit, Mich, has passed into the
great beyond. He was one Of the
landmarks. One by one they are
passing out Will the young man Of
today measure up to the standard?
Now stop and think. Answer if you
can do so. There is a man who stood
alone in many things. Now let me
turn attention to shutting this letter
up, for my mouth is about to jump
out of my heart. I think the devil
has spoken. He is angry, because
they have had little snow down here
and he thinks that will NEEDLE with
his hot business.
The National Race Congress will
meet in Washington, D. c., May 2,
and you are invited to be there. We
are going to plan for 1924, for the
man who will not stand by me and
mine has no business with my fran
chise. ] am going to tell you some
thing after the meeting of this Con-
gress, and | am going to tell our

letter to stop until the next time.
