otber fellow in San Francisco, or de-
liver a sermon to an audience all
around the world, 50 to speak, and lis
fen 70 his words as they drop from his
ros This is a wonderful age, and
when think about what is going on
TODAY it causes me to become fright
ened. Why should I be, because I am
told in the Holy Bible that man was
made in the image of God, and if that
be true then he is but a god in minia-
ture.
Just a few hours ago, so to speak,
I was in Atlanta, talking to the bish-
ops and listening to their words, and
then was in the lower house presided
over By DR.. H. Y. looks Of Jackson
vile. Florida, and heard them fay Ira
I. Bryant, and believe me, they
showed that they were against him BY
4 large majority, for resolution Of
censure was opposed by 2 and voted
By l46, and that is voting some, and
| am here to tell you that many Of
the voters were delegates to the next
general conference. Unless there is a
Big change in sentiment, this old world
L going to welcome Mr.. Bryant back
into private life, and he will no longer
be an official in the great African
Methodist Episcopal church.
The laymen in the African Metho-
dist Episcopal church have held three
important Offices, no, four of them,
financial secretary, secretary of educa-
ton, secretary of Sunday School
Union, and editor of the A. NJ. E.
Church Review. The Review fell into
the hands of the ministry again, and
the other three are yet held by laymen,
but what will be the result at the next
general conference? / believe c. a..
Wing6eld will succeed DR.. r. c. Ran
som, and then let us see what the
other viii be.
But honey, ! have been very sick
since wrote you that other letter, but
| am glad to report to you that ! am
better and now on the GO again. ]
am thankful to say that ] have been
near DR.. George Cleveland Hall He
is down here in Florida, the king
among the fishing people, and he is
just taking the lead in this business.
II you will remember he was sick dur
ing the Christmas week, and he is
basldng in this Florida sunshine, fish
ing, eating fruit, and now he is getting
back to himself and will be prepared
to look after the sick. He had BIRTH
day down here in Florida. You see
your getting born day and your death
day will come, it matters not where
you are, and this was his getting born
day. Mrs. E. v. Clark Of Ohio, who
is some writer, dedicated the following
verses to his getting born day:
AN hail. thou king Of fishermen,
On this your natal day;
There is no word of tongue or pen,
That can your worth portray.
We can but bow In hunbleness,
Before your majesty.
As fishermen we must confess
Our sure nonentity.
When George makes little wish,
And casts his little line,
Lake Harris yields its choicest Ssh;
Even 'Jarks' do not decline.
That soothing, gentle voice Of his,
That low, persuasive tone,
Brings sure response and mp they rise,
TwOuld melt heart Of stone.
not Tor moment must you think
In only this he shines;
10 N. DIS, L. DIS, other DIS we link
his name in uplift lines.
But now, dear Doctor, earnestly
Accept congratulations
we wish you most ferventiy
The best of life's creations"
