the strike, and see if il has helped the
race up the hill any. I visited the
hill, and did not get to see the presi-
dent for he was out, also Secretary
Treasurer Emmett ]. Scott was out in
town, Prof. Kelly Miller was out Of
the city, hence I saw Dean Miller's
secretary who is a gentleman and who
made me welcome. It was a pleasure
to come in touch with him.
I went to the private Sanitarium of
the Curtis, father and son, and honey
they are doing some business. 1t is
indeed fine place, and was glad to
look in on it, and to see what they
were doing and how they were doing
it. If I had my way about it I would
just keep them two surgeons busy all
the time. They are saving human life
with the knife.
1t was pleasure for me to remain
around Washington for few days,
and meet some of them big men there,
but did not call on President
Coolidge. for l wanted to give him
time to attend to business and not be
shaking hands with me all the time.
| am sure that if I had stepped in the
White House all business would have
suspended in my honor. But l wanted
that the business should 60 on and
| will be honored another time.
OFF from Washington to Pittsburgh,
and honey that is one more smoky
city. I sent one Of them things to Dr.
]. c. Austin, telling him that | would
be there the next morning and he was
on hand with his automobile car car
riage to tote me to his house, and had
one more fine breakfast ready for me.
I am sure that have told you about
DR.. J. c. Austin before, because he
is one Of the most remarkable Baptist
preachers in this country, and man
Of great ability. He is a charming
preacher and carries the biggest con-
gregation in town. He is pastor Of
the Ebenezer Baptist Church.
had the pleasure Of coming in
touch with men and women Of thought
and ability in Pittsburgh There was
Prof. and Mrs. Walter S. Buchanan.
Do you remember them? He is the
ex-president Of "A. & NJ. College. Nor
NAL, Alabama, successor to the late
William Hopper Council, and his
wife, Mrs. Ida Christine Councill
Buchanan is the daughter, and fine
one at that They are doing well.
Prof. Buchanan Walter" is engaged
in real estate business, while in town.
He Is doing well. He was to be editor
of the Competitor, but just as soon as
he reached town it took some kind Of
heart trouble and dropped dead. It
must have been a premature death, but
it is just as dead as it will ever be,
and this young man had to start life
over again. He smiled and went at it.
| learned that they had heluva
time in Philadelphia in the Philadel-
phia Conference, and at one time they
had to call in the police to keep men
from giving Bishop w H. Heard a
flogging. AT any rate the conference
ended, and DR.. Harry P. Anderson
was sent to West Chester and DR.. J.
c. Beckett was made the pastor Of
Mother Bethel, and will join in
singing Praise God From Whom All
Blessings Flow" Peace was declared
and the work viii continue to improve.
/ have just learned that the Rev.
DR.. Fred Douglass. pastor Of Bethel
"A. M. E. Church, objected to being
moved from that nice fat berth there
hence he has organized another
church. don't know what they will
call it, because it will not be another
African Methodist church. We Bap-
fists may split and fight and remain
Baptists, but when you step out Of the
ranks in the Methodist church, you
must step into something else I sup
pose it will be another Peoples Move
ment like the Wendell Phillips meet
ing in Chicago. I do not know this
to Be true. But big churches keep on
splitting like this and the first thing
YOU know there win be enough to
elect a Bishop and the movement may
grow. IF God j. in It, it viii grow and
if it is man manufactured, then it viii
die. but these that have pulled out are
not dying fast I am going to stay
