put the physicians would not permit
me to do this, hence l shed a tear,
and in my prayer, said farewell Sister
Washington, will meet You after
while
I got % much Out Of my stay II
New Orleans, and the friends | did
not see, ! talked with them over The
phone. The several days were spent
there IN town and when ! got through
then I got myself together bright and
early Tuesday morning and Rev. DR..
B. 6. Dawson was on hand with his
automobile car carriage to tote me over
to the stable to join the Rev. Henry
Allen Boyd and his party, on their
way to Beaumont to attend the Ma

but he did not do what he use to do.
invite me to eat with him or anything
Ike that. He talked with me freely
about many things, but we did not
discuss the Congress. 1 met Mrs. Liz
zie Fouse, from Lexington, Ky. who
was one of the experts. OF course 1
was interested in Lizzie because She
trained under that frat Baptist divine,
William J. Simmons, and is a grad
uate from Simmons University. She,
was in school the same time old man
Charles Stewart was there, but am
not to talk about that She was as
happy as could be. ] met Rev. David
Over, ana then I met some others,
but will not take time to tell YOU
all. The special train checked up to
l03 from Nashville to New Orleans,
and they got on some more in New
Orleans, including me. They went
into Beaumont 40 minutes ahead Of
the schedule time.
Don't ask me anything about the
Congress. because I did not attend
the meetings I was out there one
day, met President ]. P. Robinson of
Little Rock, and | was out one night
and heard a program rendered, which
I shall refrain from commenting on.
I know you want to know why
You see / had been invited to Beau
mont BY DR.. c. B. Charlton, the tooth
dentist doctor, and his wife, Mrs.
Juanita r. Charlton, to Be their guest,
and they charged me before coming
that | was to spend the time III rest
ing and not in working, and believe
me when I tell you they kept me at
home, and when I left them I felt so
much better AS to eats, they fur
nished me anything I could eat, or
according to the order Of the doctor,
was old enough to eat, and then l
had a great big front room, connected
tip with a bathroom, and it seemed
to me that I took a bath every hour
III the night. They have a fine broad
casting station, and I just enjoyed my
self.
These young people declare that
they want me to live, and they are
willing to do anything in their power
to help me live. Will divide their
food, their money, their beds, their
baths-in fact all they have that can
Be divided. I knew both Of them when
they were in school.
Here | am now into Houston, and
I am the guest of Rev. and Mrs. E.
L. Harrison. DIR. Harrison is pas
tor Of Antioch Baptist Church, and
this is one of the largest churches in
Texas. They have outgrown their
present church, and viii build soon.
They have purchased corner church
lot for building which cost $4,000
and they are going to put up real
church. believe me, honey. DR.. Har-I
rison is one Of the best preachers in
this country and area1 pastor. His wife
is queen, and their three daughters
are queenlets and the son is a kinglet
and thus they are going through life.
