'' --H~Ie IA A1As 4-GC IlE Was DuL
Of the city, but was Oh his way home.
They gave me what they called a
guest chamber, and | had my own
bath room, and all, hence 7 did not do
much sleeping for getting up bathing.
| think I took a bath 20 times from
2:45 to s o'clock.
From Atlanta, Georgia, came a wire
from Prof Lee, to have them arrange
a special room in the hospital for me,
and see that I got all attention. He
heard I had been in Tuskegee hospital,
and I suppose thought that was
doomed for hospital the rest Of my
days, but declined with thanks. /
had been in hospitals enough. He got
home the next afternoon and | had a
pleasant visit with him, but will talk
about the school when / 60 back.
Saturday morning at 2 O'Clock, /
was on my way to Jacksonville, and
then to St. Augustine, where re-
manned three or four days, with Prof.
N. w. Collier, and this I am going
to talk about later, He is a remark
able young man, and is doing great
things in the Florida Normal and In
dustrial Institute. The school is grow
ing in every particular.
Learning that l was on my. way,
Prof. Collier, got in his automobile car
carriage and met me in Jacksonville,
and toted me back home with him. He
acted like he was just receiving his
own brother, and want to thank him
for this. 1t was nice ride Of about
40 miles, and then Miss Carrie l.
Fielder, the clerk in the Office seemed
10 be meeting a brother. All made me
welcome.
! remained there until Tuesday, and
then to this place and to the East
over by Bishop John Hust, D. D., of
Baltimore, Maryland, one Of the most
remarkable men Of the race and
leader of men. He is accomplishing
great things in Florida, and the people
are highly elated over him. II is Be-
cause he is doing something.
1t cost a great deal to be something
or somebody IN this world, and if you
do not watch they will murder you.
AS you advance, as you lift up the
people and live an honest life, it is then
that SANDER hurls her bitterest arrows
at you, and if you are not careful will
send it through your heart. Like
CULVER, he has the LiIliputians on
him, in his pockets, on his hips, but
he must just look forward, and in the
command of the general Forward
march" He must be like the sun,
for you will recall if you are among
them high up people, that for centuries
the astronomers have been saying that
there are spots on the sun, but Old
Sol has never stopped for a minute to
deny or affirm the allegation, but has
been going right on sending forth his
rays to bless humanity. | would sug-
gest to Bishop Hurst that it is the
position he must take.
Some Of the would-be assassins will
be in the position of our old dog, Juno.
She lived when I was boy, and for
some reason she formed dislike for
the moon, and all night long she would
bark at the moon. One morning we
came out and found Juno in her ac-
customed place with her head turned
up, but she was dead, and still the
moon continues to shine So it will
Be with some Of those who are bark
ing at Bishop Hurst today, after while
their heads will be turned up, and he
will continue to shine.
They tell me that the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church is a great or
ganization, but it is not sufficiently
great to protect itself from itself, and
there are within their rank man or men
who are sapping at the very vitals Of
the church. I wish some of you will
read and think Of what | have said.
VIII stop here.
