get the. big head you must not blame

/ have been going some since ]
wrote you that last letter, for I have
been to Westinghouse fact I was in
Washington, as | remember, when
wrote, and then I have been to PhiIa-
delphia, and New York, back to Wash
ington and here / am this week right
here in Kittrell college, and believe me
when / tell you that Prof G. A. Ed
wards is one more busy man getting
ready for general conference which is
just over the fence, and he is one
more working man. He is a layman
Of course, and he will want the at
tention of all the laymen in putting
over some propositions. He has one
main one in his head, and that i
foremost. You want to know, I will
have to tell you, and here it is.
All Of North Carolina is behind one
of its favorite sons, and that is DIR
A. J. Wilson, presiding elder in vii
mington, whose whole life has beer
devoted to his church and his people
He has served his church, in bringing
souls into the fold and then he has
served his people, by helping in the
work at Kittrell college and that in :
substantial way. His dollars, what
few he had have gone into education
and the night has never been too dark
or the winter too cold for him &c
respond to a call from KittreH. Il
is now believed that he should b.
placed in a position to render larger
services, and all of North Carolina
will 60 to the general conference ask,
ing for his place on the Episcopal
bench.
I want TO congratulate the leader:
Of North Carolina in bringing before
the church a clean, honest, well trained
man-one who would add dignity and
culture to the church, and then at the
same time be real hard worker. Hs
will have North Carolina, and Virginia
behind him, and then South Carolins
will join in with this. Prof. Edward:
is some force in the church, and ht
will be assisted in all by such men a:
]. M. Avery, Berry O'Kelly, and my
good friend DR.. Julian 9. Caldwell ant
others. l will tell you more about the
affairs later. DIR. John A. Gregg, anC
