CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR
TRAVELLING CORRESPONDENT
FOR THE BROAD AK, IS STILL CON-
FINED IN THE HOSPITAL AT SAN
FRANCISCO, CALF, AND HE RE-
QUESTS HIS MANY FRIENDS TO
WRITE TO HIM AT 2462 CLAY
STREET THAT CITY.

San Francisco, California.-All the
delegates to the National Baptist con
vention have not returned home, and
| fear that some Of them may never
return, for they have decided that this
is the promised land and here they
will abide until called home to their
eternal rest Perhaps this will Be a
good thing to do, because President
Warren G. Harding gave up the high
est position in the gift Of the people
70 go to heaven from San Francisco.
Now, here | am still in this place
and do not know how long I will have
to stay here, for the doctors of Lane
and Stanford hospital have hold of me.
and they do not know when they can
turn me out, or | may have to follow
in the wake Of President Harding.
Some people in this world would be
sorry to learn Of my going home, and
while there would not be special
train to convey me to my last resting
place, yet there would be sad hearts
just the same
The National Baptist convention has
made a great impression out here, and
people are delighted to see those who
belong to that great organization. Dr..
/. K Williams has proved to be just
the right man for the place, and he is
a wonderful character. Il. K" as he
is called by his immediate friends, is
following in the steps of the Elias
Camp Morris, getting into the hearts
of the people, and we should all join
in rejoicing that we have such man.
He has a wonderful program for the
Baptists as well as for his own people
Let me step back to say to those
who are friendly to me and desire to
drop me a line, send it to 2462 Clay
street, San Francisco, Calf. | will get
it and will be delighted to have line
from you whether you want to do SO
or not. I want to know that you are
thinking about me way out here in
this country alone sick. A fellow
must get sick sometimes. | have
searched this country for information
to give to you, and now I am down.
| have seen some Of the preachers
and some of the women passing
through here, and it was a pleasure to
see them. Saw Rev. c. T. Stamps Of
Mississippi here yesterday, and he
wanted to get place to preach Sun
day morning where he could get a
collection. He was desperate, but !
did not have a pulpit in which | could
send him. He wanted that I tele-
phone the pastor of Bethel A. M. E.
church. and ask him to let DR.. Stamps
preach for him Sunday morning. l
told him that it was the last Sunday
before conference and this minister
was going to have his bishop Sunday
evening and could not provide for him.
Men on long distances like this and
then going sight seeing should pro-
vide themselves with the wherewithal
and not depend on collections when
they get away. He is purely on sight
seeing tour now, and if the Lord
wants to use him He will do SO, and
he will not have to go begging for
place
/ must not say anything about
Brother Stamps, for here am out
here, yet 1 feel that I will not have
to ask for a collection from any
churches. He will provide for me. |
am on the Lords side, and He will
take care Of His own.
They tell me that it is true about
the split from the split in Fort Worth,
and that Rev. E. P Jones, d. d., LII.
d.. A. NJ. Phi. D., has show Of his
own. and that Rev. John Edward
Woods, Of Danville, Ky, is at the head
Of the other. ! don't know which IS
the big show or which is the side
show. but they are there. | am sorry
that such should be, for 7 do not want
our people to split just now. This
convention never should have been,
