OFF from New Orleans to the place
where am this week writing you this
letter, and hope when these few lines
come to hand they may find YOU well
and doing well. am here with Bishop
William Alfred Fountain, the wizard
OF the A. NJ. E. bench of bishops, the
scholar and the leader of men. He
IS at the top and is doing great work.
The A. NJ E. church selected some
strong men at the last general con.
ference, and l think some more will
be selected to associate with them.
There is Rev. John "A. Gregg, presi-
dent of Wilberforce University. the
scholar, the leader of men. He is a
man who would give dignity and tone
to the bench, and then there is the
Rev. DR.. T. j. Wilson, Of Wilmington.
N. G., another scholar and leader Of
men, and ]. A. Lindsay, of Savannah,
Ga, scholar and leader, and I must
not forget DR. Nance, of South Caro-
lima, the president Of Allen University,
and man Of affairs, Rev. Snelson,
of Memphis wants to return to Africa
and to Africa he must 60 if he Is
elected Bishop and / can see no rea-
son why he should not be, but he
should be placed on the bench.
l have mentioned before the Rev.
G. M. Tanner, of Chicago, who was to
give me a fountain pen to write about
the things I see when I visited his
church in Chicago, but he told me
that had pen and that was enough.
I am proud to say that have one,
and | am using it. / have one which
was presented me by man who is on
his road to the episcopacy of his
church and there is no power to keep
him out and that man is Rev. J. c.
Anderson, who in the midst Of perse-
cution has stuck to his church, and
could not be chased out by any one
who sought honors. He stood his
ground, and you cannot keep sucn
man down. He has the training in
keeping with his ability and is won
derfuI preacher. At present he IS
Pittsburg pastor.

BY one of the greatest educated men
in the world, Prof. Robert z. Lee,
principal of the high school Of Thibo-
daux. and this high school extends to
the seventh grade He is just edu-
Gated until he walks education, and SO
self-important with his much learning
that he does not even consider COM
