My Dear Willie:--I am surprised
at you. | can't imagine who you
attended church where they had a
long-oh no preacher with d. d.
and long tailed coat. The official
bric-a-bric told him what he should
preach He wasn't allowed to say
Ianything about gambling, further
Ialong than boys matching pennies.
Some of the big boys were playing
the stock market. Some of the folks
who had gone in from the country
churches told me that the conference
got the wires tangled and sent them
"a preacher who preached the Gospel.
which came near causingSa riot, and
that the said preacher was promoted.
The salary was not so large, but it
was promotion neverthe less. II
you could have heard that preacher
when he got landed, you wouldn't
have asked the question in your last
letter Glad to know you are having
such good prayer meetings at Mt.
Zion. Does your missionary society
know anything about the children in
Morgan county who never had any
real new clothes? Ii you want to
meet your Aunt S. A. in heaven,
don't horn" them Willie. You
may have to wear patched clothes
