more room. But let me not get
mixed up on that. DR.. George c.
Hall presented me with a fine pres
ent, and Editor Taylor placed FIVE
dollar bill in my hand for a Christ
mas present, and told me to come
again. He wanted to come to where
| am willing to come again. One
cake was sent me by Mrs. Emma
Kennedy, grand royal matron Of the
Order of Eastern Star and then
got my little self together, and made
it over to the Englewood station,
shaking the Chicago dust off my feet
for while, and pulled out for this
place Not for this place, but for IN
dianapolis, where | spent Sunday, the
guest of Rev. and Mrs. S. B. Butler
Of Indianapolis and pastor of the
Baptist church. He had an automo-
bile car carriage at the stable to
meet me and escort me to the place
where ! was to stop, which was his
home.
wish you could have seen those
young people greet me, and told me
to be at home Sunday morning
found me at church, and there is
where | had to break the bread and
tote the word. The people listened
attentively, and when ! was through
they shook my black lily hand and
said they enjoyed the sermon.
thanked them, for there was nothing
else for me to say. In the afternoon,
| spoke to men only, and at night
took hold Of the pulpit of that Baptist
church of which the Rev. DIR. Wes-
brook is pastor, and then about 8
o'clock Monday morning DR.. John A.
Gregg, president of Wilberforce Uni
versity came for me to make the trip
to this place, and he was very kind
to do this. We were the guest of the
Rev. DR.. Charles Summer Williams,
pastor of Bethel A. NJ E. church,
and who is slated to be one Of the
bishops of his church. 1t was a fine
thing to come in touch with a big
hearted man like him and who has
worked from the ground up in his
church, and would make a fine addi-
ton to the Episcopal bench, and help
to work out the plans for a grand,
united front. He would make good
bishop on the bench, and l hope the
A. M. E. church will see the. wisdom
in electing this wise young man.
In Louisville, came to the home Of
Editor William H. Steward, of the
American Baptist, and this paper has
been on the warpath for long time,
fighting the battles of his churches,
Of his race, and of his God. He is
indeed remarkable man. I looked
and looked at him putting brains on
paper. He is the right man in the
right pew. He is the Oldest editor in
service OF the race today, and the
American Baptist is next to the oldest
paper, the oldest being the Christian
Recorder. just think of it, this paper
has been published forty-four years
and has not missed an issuel Good
for that. The Louisville News has
the following to say about it:
THE AMERICAN BAPTIST
Last week the American Baptist was
forty-four years old. The age itself
for Negro newspaper, is remarkable.
But more remarkable is the fact that
in all those forty-four years the Amer
lean Baptist never missed an issue.
That is great record and few pub
locations, white or otherwise, can make
that boast.
There is only one paper in the coun-
try older than the American Baptist,
and that is the Christian Recorder.
Mr.. wv. H. Steward, the editor, is a
remarkable man from many view
points, and in this instance the paper
is really the mirror Of the editor. The
News wishes both the editor and the
paper health, happiness and prosper
ity.
have told you before today that
this world is full Of damphules, and I
met one in Louisville. Some of these
