found Dr. Joseph "a. Booker, president
Of the Arkansas Baptist college at the

fear it is going to be necessary to get
an iron band for my head to keep il
together, for it Is liable to pop open.
Pray for me.
Off for St. Louis, and in reaching
here I found the Pierce-Arrow auto
mobile car carriage, belonging to Poro
awaiting my arrival with a polite.
courteous young man there. He Is
hne | am here to tell you.
This automobile car carriage grunted
a time or two and then it was at Poro
College, where they received me.
Prof Aaron F. and Mrs. Annie NJ
Malone were out Of town, but | was
received just the same, and treated like
king, 50 to speak.
Poro College is one Of the institu-
tons Of this race that is doing practical
work It is the brain work Of Mrs.
Annie M Malone and the genius 81
Aaron E. Malone, and they are serv-
ing God and the whole race-in fact
they are serving humanity. Now they
will rank with the wealthiest of this
country, yet they are humble and
meek, to the extent that any human
being can reach them. They took
hold Of the hand Of Jesus Christ some
years ago, declaring where he led them
they would follow, and they extend
the other hand to their brothers and
sisters and tell them to come along
with them, holding up their heads,
showing that even in poverty one may
be gentleman or lady, and l admire
this spirit in them.
then made trip to Lincoln Uni
versity Jefferson City, No, and found
President n. B. Young one more busy
man, and they have some students
here, and they too are getting ready
for Greece and Rome. They are go
ing to make the earth tremble on COM
mencement day. l tell you that senior
class will have some say They have
been at the feet Of a master, Nathan
B. Young, and all give him credit for
this. He is giving the people what
they wanted, real university He has
put the school on the educational map.
l have been there to see for myself,
and then l was the guest Of the insti-
tuition, and put it down that Col.
Charles E. Stump is getting way up
yonder in life.
OF course, this has been done in the
midst of opposition. 1t seems that
progress means opposition, but the
man who is at the head must be like
the Christ, keep right on and die if need
Be for real cause. Prof Young is
not a stranger in this world and they
will have to give it to him.
Will it be Of any interest to you to
know that / will be in Birmingham,
Saturday and Sunday? ! will soon be
headed that way. ] have been invited
there for a day, and longer if 1 can
STAY by Mrs. Fannie Cosby-Blevins,
president Of Tuggle Institute, and one
OF the educators. They are going to
have their commencement next week,
and the sermon will be preached Sun
day.
] 10 to Chicago for two days, then
to Nashville, Tenn, and then to Bir-
mingham. l hope to go by Normal,
Alabama, but cannot say now, then to
Atlanta, Newport News, Va, and I
can't tell you all the other places, hence
wait and see.
Speaking Of Nashville, note that
President r. A. McKinize has resigned
the position Of president Of Fisk Uni
versity and his successor has been
named. Well, am yet going to keep
my word and tell you about the af-
fairs, although settled. They have Sc
Iected great man as president and I
hope he will accept.
/ want to thank God for the men
who planted Fisk University. It has
given some good men to the world,
and am proud Of it. We need the
institution and its influence, and was
sorry when learned that a lot Of
damphuIes got together, and all were
mule-headed BY the President, for they
tell me il he had used little mule
sense things would not have happened,
but will let you know this later.
