just about the time / get out and
get a little strength, then am called
up to back into the round house for
repairs, and some day am going to
back I'll for the last time, for the Old
engine will refuse to respond to the
skill of human doctors, and unless
Jesus takes hold all will be over. and
the people win look in my face for the
last time and declare I look natural,
but I Will not be listening then.
will have ended my career on earth
and win join many Of my friends who
have gone ahead Of me to make me
welcome. They viii serve on the re-
ception committee.
Down here l have had some Of the
most noted physicians in the country
and they have labored hard. DR..
George Cleveland Hall, DR.. Timothy
Y. Overton, and DR.. H. w. Conrad.
and they are strong men, able men and
are working hard. Just now I am
with Dr. H. w. Conrad, Of the Park
Sanitarium, in this city, and my nurse
is Miss Edna /. Marchand, Of Louis
lana, full Of the Holy Ghost and skill.
But I must tell you some other things
and then tell you how l got here and
what am doing here this week.
When I wrote you that other letter
was the guest Of Rev and Mrs. E.
L Harrison, and you know Dr. Harri-
son is pastor Of Antioch Baptist Church
in Houston. I had big time there,
but was suffering with a swollen
leg, yet that did not prevent me from

IRE of being in church on Sunday
morning and hearing Charles Stewart
preach, and in the afternoon | re-
manned in, and at night I went over
to hear DR.. E. L. Harrison, and he
preached great big sermon. One Of
the great features about this church
is the choir, under the direction Of
Mrs. Florence McBride-Sledge, for
merly Of Macomb, Illinois, but now
full-fedged citizen of Houston, Texas.
am studying now religious terms
Of expressions, and I am not going to
say things that may not have the
proper ring in the Sunday school les
son, for when we get old and full Of
aches and pains, it says to you; BE
admonished and remember that thou
must die For the men who beat up
Charles Norvell Love, editor and pub
Usher Of the Texas Freeman, / will
simply say, Forgive them, Father,
and consign them to the place of per-
petua1 summer and where the wind
was never known to blow, and water
is as scarce as gold teeth in the mouth
Of a chicken hen or rooster" Is that
putting it in mild language that even
baby may understand, and they had
better secure all the palm fans and
linen busters to be obtained, for all
that means free trip to hash-e-square-
lull, and when you once get there you
are there to remain, and just what
your diet will be | do not know,
certainly feel sorry for the men in
Houston who are to take the trip.
Leaving Houston. I went to Beau
mont, and spent about an hour there,
seeing the remains Of the meeting
which was held there. Then to Texar-
kama, and I had the pleasure of seeing
some friends there. I stopped at
the home of Mrs. S. A. Mathes, and
her son was home from Fisk Univer-
sity, where he has been student, and
has been singing with them She is
proud Of her Homer, and am sure
that some day he viii make the world
know he has passed this way With
his education, he is getting common
sense. This is what all graduates
should have.
The schools may put into you edu-
cation sense, but that well trained
mother, trained in the practical school
Of experience, is the one who must
graduate you from the common sense
school. She is often called fogy,
and said that she is a back number,
but if you win follow her advice she
will land you safe on the shores Of
success and none will Be able to pull
you down. She viii follow you all the
way, even into the doors Of death. and
will die for you if necessary She
fills her place and passes on and 1t is
up to YOU to decide which way YOU
