OF THE LIVING.

not reach me yet. c. c. Spaulding
$780, and there were many others who
sent from 81 to $40 and all wanting
me to live. Do you blame me for
shouting.
am not to do any work during
January and February, but just will
write this letter to you, and send you
few lines to inform you Of my health.
hope when these few lines come to
hand they may find you the same.
Did you know DR.. D. A. Scott, Of
Texas, a great Baptist worker? If
you did, / want to tell you that he
has passed into the Great Beyond.
There is just one more to welcome
me when shall cross that interven-
ing space and go to join my many
friends. One by one they are crossing
over. He lived to see the new year,
and looked into the face Of 1925 say
ing good morning to it, and said fare
well to 1924, and then he told this
old world goodbye, stepped into the
chariot and went home to be with
Jesus and many of his old friends.
He has joined Lights, Barbour, Griggs,
Campbell, Massey, and many other Of
the old saints, and l know ere this he
has seen Elias Camp Morris and
Booker 7. Washington, R. H. Boyd,
and even E. p. Jones, who stepped in
just little in advance. When l shall
say farewell to this world 1 will be
with them too.
DR.. D. A. Scott, was a hard worker.
He was editor of the Western Star.
a paper Of the Baptists of Texas and
filled other important positions.
Information comes to me that Mrs.
F. Cosby-Blevins, President of Tuggle
Institute is sick. Let us pray and hope
that she will soon be returned to
health, and be able to continue in the
good work, building on that wonder
full foundation laid by Mrs. Carrie "A.
Tuggle, who to my mind was one Of
the greatest women of this country.
She lived and died for others. God
is wise, and we never question any
thing that He sees fit to do for human
ity. He gave us to the world and at
His will he takes us away, and we
can but exclaim with Job: Blessed Be
the name of God" You may accuse
me OF trying to preach sermon after
whole, and it is better than saying bad
words in anger.
It was last Friday, that l got dis
charged from that Park Sanitarium,
and left Guthrie, at ii o'clock, going
into Oklahoma City, Okla, and visited
the school there, and from there made
my way to the office Of Prof. Inman
E. Page, and while talking With him,
the Rev. DR.. E. w. Perry, president
of the Oklahoma Baptist state con-
vention, came for me in his automo-
bile car carriage. He toted me over
to his home and had dinner. l talked
with that other great preacher there,
DR.. a. M. Johnson, and then went to
the home Of Mrs. A. M. Smyth, and
then Miss Luella Lawson, one of the
teachers sent for me to come to her
home, talked with her parents and
self, and then DR.. Perry called there
for me, toted me over to the wonder
full Tabernacle Baptist church, DIR. A.
M. Johnson, pastor, and from there
to the Rock Island stable to make the
trip to this city. In order that might
arrive safely, DR.. Conrad sent along
nurse, Miss Annie B. Harris. I did
not suffer any on the road, but slept
like log all the way to Memphis.
am here to toe the word today.
While I am stopping in the palatial
home of Mrs Mary Grant, 61o Missi-
ssippi Boulevard, am the guest of
