2nd. Friday. A cloudy day and a rainy night.

In the chapel a wire message from Dr. Candler (now in Madison) was read by Dr. Callaway to the effect that a certain Dr. Gillet was to lecture in the chapel church tonight at 7:30. I did not know what it meant. But only after the Friday afternoon Y.M.C.A. prayer meeting, I learned that Dr. Tillet of Nashville was to talk in the church. I was agreeably but greatly surprised. Called on him at Mrs. McIntosh's residence. Both of us were glad to see each other in deed and in truth. Supped together at Mrs. McIntosh's Something about Dr. Tillet's coming:-
4
1. He has been for the 3 weeks past on his round to different conferences and church colleges. He visited the North Ga. Conference now in Madison and on his way to Nashville thought he would drop in here to talk with the ministerial students on behalf of his Department. But his utter ignorance of the situation of affairs of this place and his reliance on the direction of others concerning his arrangement here all went to put him in perplexity. This explains why no better announcement was made for his coming.
5
2. In regard to O.E. Brown, Dr. Tillet said "There is nothing wrong about his affairs. 1st. Before he left America, in his farewell speech, Brown distinctly said that he did not feel called to go to China, but that he was going there just as he would have prefered any one conference to another at home. 2nd. He is the man we want. We must have him. 3rd. He can do more good even for missions in V.U. than he could in China. (?! T.H.Y.) 4th. All the Bishops agreed to call him back in spite of his declination. Thus you see that the place sought him and not he the place".
6
These thin arguments became thinner in the mouth of the Doctor who told us time and again in the classroom that a missionary who returns home after a short stay in the field does more harm than good.
7
3. In talking about Mrs. Hoss, Dr. Tillet said that she makes Dr. Bound, the assistance Editor of Advocate, very unpleasant in his position by her absolute control of the paper in case of Dr. Hoss' absence. Dr. Tillet called her a wonderful woman.
8
4. At 7:30 Dr. Tillet gave an informal talk to young preachers and others on the prime importance of thorough education of preachers, on benefit to be derived from a theological training at V.U., on the importance of faithful discharge of ordinary duties. He talked little more than an hour, but I was immensely glad to see that his excellent talk made a fine impression on the attentive little crowd.
9
Only objection-that is if we want to find one-to come of his utterances was that he too prominently held up "good appointments", "high salaries". "leadership in the conference" as the reward and reason for a thorough ministirial education.
10
Dr. Tillet, "I fear you went to Covington for a business of the same nature as Peed went to Decatur for." Prof. Fort, "No, Sir, I went there for this world's goods." Dr. Tillet, "My dear Sir, what in this world can be so good as a fine woman?"

3rd. Saturday. Cloudy.
 
13
My first experience in the Society as its president came out all right. Tendered my resignation from the chair on the ground that because the Society let their love override their judgment. I was not thereby justified to let my incompetence abuse their love. The resignation not accepted.
14
After dinner, took a nap. When I awoke a touch of sadness came over me, per chance, due to the gloominess of the day and a melancholy air that I heard someone play on a fiddle in Mrs. Berry's room.
15
Left Covington by the 4 p.m. train for Madison. Went to the church where the North Ga. Annual Conference met straight from the depot as soon as I reached Madison. Bro. E.R. Cook exerted himself to secure me a home in the Turnell and Butler Hotel. He is a man who doesn't leave a thing half done.
16
Met a number of preachers whom I had known during the summer. Among them was that hearty and fervent Bro. Davis. By the way, he it is who, at the Mt. Zion Campmeeting, after my talk told me: "When you come to Atlanta, spend a night at our home. I will tell my wife to give you the best bedroom in the house and kill the chicken."
17
The supper over, I went to the Baptist Church to hear Sam Jones lecture on "Preachers and Preachers". Admission fee 50 each person for the benefit of the Orphan's Home under his care. Some of his characteristic sayings:
18
1. "A train goes slow or fast according as the engine goes slow or fast. So does the speed of a church depend on that of the preacher."
19
2. "A preacher must not only have religion, but religion enough to give him enthusiasm and authority."
20
3. "I once said to a M.D. 'Doctor, you are eminent in your profession and I am extinguished in mine. How is it that our sciences are so far behind any other? Yet, yours is farther ahead of mine'."
21
4. "It is said that a pharmacist knows the names of all the drugs in his store but doesn't know the use of any. You educated theologians, God bless you!, know all the names of spiritual medicines but don't know where to use them."
22
5. "Examine your spiritual patients and apply your gospel by doses."
23
6. "Truth are of many kinds and of relative value. A copper cent is as genuine a coin of the U.S. as a 20 dollar gold piece. But the moving power of each is different. 'There were giants in those days' is a truth. But that wouldn't move me any more than a copper would a nigger. But 'Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap' is a truth that moves the world."
24
7. "Bro. Jones, I would have liked your sermon if you didn't use so many slangs' said a man once to me. Well what did I say? asked I. 'You said dogs and hogs.' Well, you fool, they are not slangs, but the given names for half of the crowd I addressed to."
25
8. "I fear manuscript in the pulpit worse than a pistol. They say lightening never strikes the same place-but the place is not there. A manuscript never strikes me but once-for it never gets me but once."
26
9. "When I was a little 'circus-rider' I thought all the appointments were of God. I declare I did. But I have found out that all the mean appointments are of God but all the good ones are of the Bishop and his cabinet-out in Texas."
27
10. "My bretheren have you ever beaten in a race? If not, get a snail and beat him! It's better to beat something than nothing."
28
He condemned a prepared and written sermon-or rather, invoking Divine direction there on as hypocritical. I don't agree with him. One may and ought to ask God's help on preparing a sermon as much as on an extempore.

4th. Madison.
 
31
At 10 a.m. attended the love-feast in the Methodist church. If you want to see an emotional set of good men, go to a love-feast of old-fashioned, gray-haired Methodist preachers.
32
Bishop Fitzgerald preached an ordination sermon. His usual good humor and quaint humor made his long discourse not a burden grievous to bear. Some of his utterances that attracted my attention:-
33
1. "All I don't know, would make a big book."
34
2. "Our Baptist bretheren, being great workers, make us hustle to keep up with them in some places, especially well watered places, they get ahead of us."
35
3. "I believe in denominations at least up to the date. Different denominations bear several kinds of fruit. Methodist peaches"-note! the Bishop loves peaches-"Presbyterian pears, Quaker's quinces, Lutheran lemons, Episcopalian apricots, Christian cranberries, and Baptist watermelons-any of these is as good as the rest."
 
36
He concluded his sermon by shaking hands with and affectionately embracing some of the fathers of the church. The scene was good to behold and as the hearty Methodists made the old church ring with.
37
"Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise. Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day" etc etc. There were very few dry eyes in the audience while many gave a full-go to their emotional wheels by an abundant supply of the waterpower of tears. A drop of tear on such an occasion is an aqua-regia to hatred and malice.
38
The service ended with the ordination of about 15 deacons among whom were W.H. Budd, Joe Bell and Simon Hearns, all Oxford boys.
39
At 3 p.m. went to the Baptist Church to hear Sam Jones preach to "male men" only. He took the last part of the 18th verse of 9th Ecc. as his text: "One sinner destroyeth much good." He literally wore the text out by repeated discussion and direct application. I like that.
40
1. "If I despise anything, it is a fellow that tries to be like some other fellow."
41
2. "It is not where you are but where you ought to be."
42
3. "You preachers haven't lost your guns, but you have no powder."
43
4. "Bretheren, there isn't a first class church in Ga. that would have me for their pastor, and thank Gold, there isn't a first class church in Ga. that I would have."
44
5. "You say you can't get up a crowd. Do you know why I could get up a big crowd for a dogfight at a moment's notice? People go there because they know something will happen. If they don't go to your church it is because they know nothing will happen there."
45
He gave it to saloon keepers without any ceremony. " Bretheren I am hot," said he toward the close. "Well, I'll pull off my coat." Then he suited his action to his word.
46
In the night Dr. Allen addressed a packed house on China. Dr. Candler followed him after which a collection was taken for missions.

5th. Monday. A Fine day.
 
49
Attended the morning session of the Conference. Nothing of much interest
50
Left Madison at 3 p.m. for Oxford.
51
1. Found Madison far better a place than I had expected. The members of the Conference and visitors were splendidly entertained.
52
2. More than 200 able bodied men are supported by the voluntary contributions of a free, democratic and moneyloving people within the bounds of North Ga. This surely means something. Moreover this is only Methodist association. There are Baptist and Presbyterian ministers besides those of smaller communions. Religion or rather Christianity must be true or else the people wouldn't of their free will support an army of non-producers so far as their direct relation to material production is concerned.
53
3. At the dinner table in the hotel a lady whose husband was a lay delegate said that she wondered how Methodist preachers could marry so easily knowing as she did the hardships of a Methodist preacher's wife. On another occasion there were four men, who appeared to be drummers at my table. Hearing that Gainsville had invited the next Conference to meet there, one of them said, "Undoubtedly more distinction is made in favor of this profession (ministry) than any other". Now here are both sides of the calling, so far as its worldly aspect goes, in a nutshell.
54
4. Dr. Allen told me that he was going to settle in Atlanta.
55
On reaching Oxford, a letter from dear Hortense welcomed me. How sweet that she calls me "Brother".

10th. Saturday. A bracing and lovely day.
 
58
1. This morning I caused a great deal of merriment by saying "Those who are in favor of the motion please say 'Yes'."
59
2. Took supper at dear Mrs. Candler's. Was much tickled when Mrs. Cartright told me that in her younger days it was the custom, in a family prayer meeting, for the worshippers to stand up with their backs toward the leader to sing or pray.
60
3. Attended and enjoyed the Andrew Hall prayer-meeting.
61
4. Two mornings ago as I stood on the steps of the Science Hall I pulled out my watch to set the time by the tower clock. The wonderful fact that a watch so small as to be carried in a vest-pocket could keep time with a giant of a clock suggested the thought that a finite being could walk in harmony with the laws and plans of the infinite God provided the motives are the same in both.
62
5. The preacher's meeting in the church every Sunday is nothing but another experience meeting. I don't care going there: we have prayer meetings enough of the sort-class prayer meeting, Wednesday night prayer meeting, Friday afternoon prayer meeting, Saturday night prayer meeting. They say the preachers' p.m. helps one to enjoy the morning worship. But he who is religious enough to attend the p. p.m. will enjoy the worship without it, while he who is not religious enough to enjoy the church service will not attend the p. p.m. Therefore the p. p.m. is needless to the religious and useless to the irreligious. We ought to be let enjoy the Sabbath morning as best we could, in private meditation or in religious readings or in fresh air walk,-for any of which we can't spare much time during the week. The case may be different in places where we don't have much of prayer meetings during the week.
63
6. During this week received two letters from Walter Spencer asking me to come up and spend a few days with him in Rockwood Tenn. I shall if I can. God bless him!
64
7. Hudson say, in his introduction to Hamlet, "The true measure" of men's force of will, "lies rather in what they do not do." This may be true but only partly true. The whole truth is that the measure of a man's force of will lies in doing what he thinks right and doing not what he thinks wrong.
65
8. This week has been a dragging one to me-sleepy and lazy.

68
Dr. Callaway preached the morning sermon. He "behaves too much" as a man from Shiloh said. I don't remember a single sermon of his that has arrested my attention and carried it to a direction. He is said to be a typical southern gentleman. He is a lovable man.
69
In the p.m. with S.H. Bell, went to the Poor Farm. Here one sees the extremes of human wretchedness. The fact of all the inmates being negroes make the scene more desolate, if possible. But just imagine that they were in Corea. Would they have any shelter, food, fire, clothing, provided for them by the public? No! Imagination itself loathes to dwell on the dire miseries they might, and the unfortunates like them do, suffer in Corea. Oh Life in thy tenacity, thou art more cruel to be unfortunate than death!
70
Two or three stay in a room. The room has rough plank walls. A plank mantlepiece. On it are seen a tin lunch-can, a glass tumbler or a tin cup, a snuff-box or something very much make it. On one side of the fireplace is a bucket and a gourd dipper. On the other is a long box for firewood. A dirty tin basin against the wall. A bed or two covered with blankets and covers not very inviting. Two or more chairs in which sit a black man or woman whose helpless state excites pity and forces the mind to reflect with pain the inequalities of human conditions. The two large glass windows pouring in the sunshine and a fire that cheerily burns in the fireplace give a relief to the otherwise dismal surroundings.
71
At the request of Uncle Peter, we sang to a melancholy negro tune the "hyme" beginning "Hark, from the tomb a doleful sound". With reading a few passages in Dan and Revelation and a few earnest prayers by the poor people, we had a nice religious service.
72
After my return to Oxford, had a long walk with L.A Ware-a special friend of mine. Took supper at his boarding place, Mrs. Elison's.
73
Prof. Dicky, our new pastor, preached. He is a graceful and forcible and sensible speaker.
74
1. During the sickness of Mrs. Berry over a month none of the fine ladies of the town visited her. There is absolutely no intercourse between her and them in any shape or form.
75
2. Uncle Zick, the old negro-man who cuts wood for the families in this part of the town, said in regard to young negroes "Dem new set of niggers has jest sense nuf to be fools".
76
3. The way in which Edwin Arnold treats, in his Light of Asia, the attitude of Buddha towards Yasodara is anything but like the manner in which a Japanese writer treats the matter. Arnold makes Buddha behave and talk, as an Englishman would, to his wife-loving, tender, chivalrous. On the other hand, the Japanese represents Buddha as treating Yasodara pretty much in a Japanese fashion-harsh, repulsive, contemptuous and overbearing.

16th. Friday. Rainy and gloomy.
 
79
Received two numbers of the Nashville Advocate from Mrs. Abbie Hoss. Anything she sends makes it precious. Enjoyed reading Bishop Haygood's letters in the Advocate.
80
The Bishop gave unreserved blows on the Parliament of Religion going to be convened in Chicago next fall. While I don't endorse all that the Bishop says I have decided to decline the invitation to make an address. For:
81
1. I would be but a drop in a bucket in that gathering. My address will not affect either one way or the other the welfare of the cause of Christ.
82
2. I may only provoke the smile of a sensible man by flaunting about my religion as a silly girl does about her ribbons. I would appear too much like a man hired for the job.
83
3. To hear and observe and reflect on what others say about different systems will do me more good than my address may benefit others. Above all there is certainly something repulsive and indelicate and unchristian in "flaunting banners" as Bishop Haygood says, "beating drums, blowing horns to make the world know" that I am a Christian.
84
All this would appear in a different light if the defence or success of the cause of Christ depended on my standing up so in a world-congress.
85
The Parliament itself I approve in spite of Bishop Haygood. Since people will and do compare religions in writing or in thought, why not in a general representive congress?

The Society met and adjourned without debate on account of the pressure of examinations.
89
spent most of the day in writing an article for Mrs. Hoss on the New Year Holidays in Corea. I despise writing such stuffs.
90
"Idolatry is devil worship, and the superstitious fears of the Chinese, fostered and fed for ages by its observance, have emasculated them to the last degree. They are in perpetual 'bondage unto fear.' I had no dream of the depths to which they had descended, or the paralysis which has fallen upon them. China, as compared with Christian countries, is a thousand years behind in the race of national progress: and what is worse than that, she means to stay so if it be possible. Without railroads or post offices or schools or courts or laws or rational currency of her own, she is afloat like a great bulk without rudder or sail, drifting with wind and tide, and four hundred millions of souls on board. The Mongolian mind, naturally phlegmatic and unspeculative, has grown stolid by these ages of repression and unbelief. Dullness of spiritual perception characterizes the Chinaman. The statement of immortality through Jesus Christ our Lord bewilders him Their faith power is well-nigh gone. Their very language is inadequate for spiritual instruction, and missionaries find themselves embarrassed in the use of it."
91
This is the way Bishop Key "cusses out" China. Like this-I don't.
92
1. By what rules of mathematic did he arrive at the exact conclusion that China is "a thousand years behind in the race"?
93
2. "She is afloat etc etc."-The idea of talking about a country with a most stable government in the world as being afloat without rudder or sail.
94
3. "The statement of immortality through Jesus Christ etc." Indeed! Is this a new discovery never before made until the good Bishop came upon it in China in the year of grace 1892 ? Hasn't he read in the Acts that when the Athenians "heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked" and others put off the matter? The story of the Cross has always been a foolishness to a certain class of people even in "Christian countries" "1000 years" ahead of heathen China!
95
4. "Their very language is inadequate etc etc." What's strange about that? When the Gospels, the Acts and the Epistles were first written in Greek, did the writers find that wonderful language adequate to express the lofty and noble ideas and thoughts which Christianity came to give to the world? If not-and it was not-then why this impatience with the Chinese tongue for its inadequacy for Christian instruction?
96
There is not a line of sympathy of kindness in his whole letter of which the piece above is a part in matter and in spirit. My wonder is why they don't send out someone who has eyes sharp enough to see through mere surface; hope bright enough to light the way beyond present; faith strong enough to get and give encouragement in the midst of apparent difficulties; sense common enough to know that even a Bishop is not qualified to pronounce such sweeping judgment upon a nation of four hundred millions by glancing and that hastily over a merest fraction of its life any more than a flea is qualified to write the topography of Dr. Candler's spacious head by biting a spot on his little toe.
97
Such harsh and superficial report on the greatest mission field in Asia discounts the dignity of a great man, irritates the sensibilities of native workers, discourages the churches at home.
98
This morning I asked a man what he traveled for. He said something about corn curing. I thought he was an agent from the North to buy up corn. But he surprised my by asking me if I had any corn and before I could hardly recover myself he pulled out of his vest-pocket a small bottle filled with a dark fluid. I was at my wit's end to know what in the world he had to do with that fluid in buying or selling corn. However, he soon made me feel easy-though much tickled-by telling me that the fluid was a medicine for taking off corns of or under the foot. According to him corns are a very common trouble to young men and young women in this country. He said that old maidens or middle-aged ladies are easiest to approach and freest to own their having corns while young ladies are their contrary. This is as good as a joke on me as that of "the man with two little horns", of a "tobacco sifter", of the "cradle", of "the egg cooked", of the "big german", of the "mother goose".

21st. Wednesday. A pleasant day.
 
101
Made the biggest bust in chemistry examination that a fool could make.
102
At 4 the Fall Term closed and the Xmas holidays began. Dr. Candler said that this term has been the most orderly and happiest term so far seen in the College during his presidency.
103
Dr. Candler conducted the prayer meeting. Gave a very good sermon on having a permanent home in God-which is the only permanent home to a man. The hymns used were appropriate. "He leadeth me etc." "O sometimes the shadows are deep etc." "O think of the home over there etc."
104
The term of 3 months has passed with such a whizzing speed that I feel almost dizzy.

22nd. Thursday.
 
107
Spent a good part of the a.m. in reading the Missionary Review.
108
After dinner, Bell and I bought some oranges (50¢) , cakes and candies (50¢) , and carried them to the Poor Farm to give a Xmas cheer to the unhappy inmates of the place. Had a informal religious service.
109
A very cold but a beautiful day and night.
110
Took supper at dear Mrs. Candler's.
111
Last Sunday Mrs. Susie Stone said to me that, when the Bishops called back Mr. O.E. Brown, she wondered why it was not W.B. Bonnell instead of O.E. Brown.

115
The following letter will do for this day's record. "My dear Mrs. Nettie C.! Much as I love to see you while in Oxford, I can't fully realize how much until miles away from you. I anticipate with pain, even now, the time-and the time is coming apace-when I shall not have the opportunity and pleasure of seeing you for weeks, months, years and maybe, forever.
116
"Left Oxford this morning at 6. After having bought a round trip ticket from Couyers, I found I had only7.50 and more than 200 miles to travel. This amount couldn't be sufficient for a round ticket for that distance Fortunately Palmer who was on the train helped me out by lending me3.00. But for him, I don't know how I could have avoided a great deal of financial embarrassment. A goose that I was!
117
"Reaching Atlanta about 8:30 found the N.C. and St. Louis train ready to start. Didn't have time to get some Xmas presents for Miss Fonzie and Sister as I intended. Saw some fine oranges and thought of you. Shall bring some home for you (provided my purse holds out) .
118
"Nothing special on the road. Cartersville had a new meaning to me as I passed by it on account of Miss Fonzie's stay there. In Chattanooga, I regretted having no time to call on a dear friend of mine, Tom Betterton.
119
"While waiting for the C and S train in the Central Depot a darkie asked me if I wanted to black my shoes. On my saying nothing a little boy who stood by said to the darkie: 'He doesn't understand English. He has no sense!' With my habitual resibility I had a time of it to keep myself from laughing outright. A more serious thing was that, when I took out my pocketbook to pay a darkie who had carried my valise fro me, I found a five dollar bill gone! It was all the money I had, too. I was thunder struck. You may smile, but it was no matter of smile to me then. Or you may think I am a bigger idiot than you thought: I thought so too. But after a careful search I came up on the precious piece of paper safely deposited in a vest-pocket.
120
"Leaving Chatanooga at 4 p.m. reached Rockwood about 7 o'clock. Walter Spencer, the friend I came to see, welcomed me as an old friend only could. I love him for his many merits and he loves me in spite of my many faults."

123
Rockwood, Tenn.
124
Rockwood being surrounded by mountains covered with snow inches thick is naturally several degrees colder than even in Oxford. But the cold is intensified by the absence of sunshine today.
125
Attended the S.S. and the morning service in the Methodist church of which Spencer is the pastor. The choir is finer than you might have expected from the appearance of the congregation.
126
Had a nice Xmas dinner at Bro. East's, a prominent member in the Methodist church. Took a short nap between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. Took supper with Spencer at Bro. Montgomery's.
 
127
At 7 I made a short missionary talk to a very kind and attentive audience.
128
1. Rockwood has about 3500 inhabitants. Churches: 1. South Methodist; 2. North Methodist; 3, Baptist; 4. Hardshell; 5. Presbyterian; 6. Christian. Five saloons, Two schools, white and black. Industry chiefly of iron and coal.
129
2. The Methodists have a very pretty parsonage on a commanding location at a safe distance from dust and smoke and noise. But Spencer being a bachelor, stays in an upper room in "Cooper's Den", a house so called from the name of the owner. Spencer takes his meals in Mr. Black's house-a general boarding house.
130
3. In regard to the ministerial discrimination shown by R.R.'s and merchants and hotels in the shape of reduced rates etc., Spencer says that the necessity for such does not now exist; that the custom has a bad effect on the preachers who take the favor while it makes the people look down on them; that he himself never has and never will take advantage of clerical rates in any line. He is right.

The letter following to Miss Nannie will do for the happenings of yesterday.
135
"Walter gave me the beautiful Xmas gift you and Mr. Charles so kindly sent me. Ever so much obliged. It is a treasure that I shall always prize not only for its own value, but also (ten times more) for the givers.
136
"Bro. Asby Jordan who preaches some miles from here came up yesterday p.m. and we are having a regular old time reunion. You know Jordan is an original character. He unbosoms himself to Walter all the secrets of his love affairs.
137
"Enclosed is a handbill worded by Walter. The Opera House cost us5.00 and the advertisement1.75. The night was so cold and people so indifferent that I didn't have but about 35 in the audience, 7 or 8 of whom, by the way, came on free tickets. The stage was large and high but so cold that I could hardly open my mouth without my tongue being frozen up (I don't exaggerate, Miss Nannie!) The House was full, too full-of air, wind and empty benches (as empty as my purse) . This was a sad spectacle. But sadder sight it was to see a handful-a small handful at that-of audience shivering with cold and convulsed with coughs. My wittiest remarks fell on the frozen ears of the people like snowflakes on Walter's fur cap without producing any noise. Walter and Jordan hugging the cold stove with a tenderness and earnestness and warmth(?) that was really pathetic, tried their best to stir up the pitiful crowd by forcing themselves into a laughter but the crowd was immovable.
138
"Well, I was much disappointed but was more amused. At the comical scene I actually laughed more heartily last night as I have seldom done. Some people thought I was gone mad just as I was making the closing remarks, the big lamp hung from the room in the middle of the stage fell down with a terrible crash, and came near setting the whole business on fire. The outcome of the grand affair was2.80, an amount short of the actual expenses by nearly4.00. Dear Miss Nannie, don't you cry too much over this!"
139
What I hate in this "bust" is that Spencer will insist bearing the loss.
140
Played several games of chrokinole with Bro. Cooper. Mr. Eddy, a phonographite, and Spencer.
141
In the afternoon, Spencer, Cooper, Jordan and myself called on Miss Laura Montgomery. Met Mr. Thomas (Jim Nolen's wife's brother) and his wife. She reminded me very much of Mrs. Annie McClure-pretty, intelligent and sociable. Was somehow or other perfectly carried away with her.
142
Spencer and Jordan and myself slept on the same bed.

A little bit warmer than yesterday. Soon after the breakfast Jordan went back to his work. He is the same Jordan that I know of old in W.H. His passion for money, his talks about girls, his stiff awkwardness, his untidy appearance and habits-all as of old. He told Spencer that the sole reason way he wanted to go West was to save some money. "I think," said he, "I can save some where I get600.00 a year." His maxism seems to be" Get more; use little; give least. Much as I love him as a personal friend, I believe that this love of money for its own dear sake will hinder his work.
147
Mr. Silvester, Spencer and I spent the best part of the a.m. in "taking in" the iron furnace where pig-irons are made from ores.
148
1. A block of iron just from the smelting furnace is called the pig-iron because the molds into which the fire liquid of iron is conducted to solidify look so much like little pigs sucking the sow.
149
2. Every time I see monstrous iron wheels whirl on with a force that seems to be irrestible, that crushes anything which may come in its way without compromise and mercy, I can't help thinking about the iron wheels of necessity that whirls on for ever.
150
3. The savage is a slave to Nature; the semi-civilized man is a timid beggar from Nature; the civilized man is a master of Nature.
151
4. A little pipe in the mouth of a busy workman in the midst of din and roar of wheels and engines is an ideal of repose.
152
After dinner, Spencer and I called on Miss May Sheddon. She has a graceful figure, a fair complexion and a pair of captivating eyes of steel color. She is the best looking girl in Rockwood, at least among the Methodists.
153
Spencer: "Rockwood is a Daisy place," teasing me about Miss Daisy. "Yes", said I, "as pleasant as May".
154
After the supper, at 15 to 7, bade a reluctant farewell to Spencer and left Rockwood for Chattanooga. Reached the latter place at 9:20.
155
Having 5 hours to spend before the train, divided the time between the Central and the Union Depots. In the former, met Bro. Geo. Stuart whom I had met last year when he was the pastor of the Centenary Church.

Atlanta. Oxford.
159
Left Chattanooga at 2:20 a.m. Reached Atlanta at 7. A little after 8 walked out to 445 Loyd Street to see Dr. Allen. He and his family gave me a cordial welcome. Took breakfast there.
160
For the first time met Edgar P. Allen. the eldest son of the missionary. He is a handsome young man. Dr. A. and his wife naturally enough are very proud of the scholarship and ability of their son.
161
Between Edgar and myself, what a contrast! I thought. We are about the same age. Yet he is endowed by nature with a handsome personage; by fortune, an accomplished education, college and university; by destiny, a nationality that entitles him to the very best treatment wherever he may go in the civilized world his past was happy, his present is bright, his future is inviting. Then me! Puny appearance; feeble mind; commonplace education; contemptible nationality. To say nothing of the past and the present. there is nothing very attactive in my future. He is honored, I am despised. He is comparatively rich, I am poor. He is self-confident, I am shrinking. I wonder what kind of history time and changes will write for each of us-starting, as we do, under so different circumstances.
162
Left Atlanta at 2:45. Reached home at 4, sick, cold, weary, and hungry, and a copper in the pocket book. A cold room with ice in the washbowl and the water bucket awaited me. Read letters from McCl.: Mrs. Thompson; Miss Early; Prof. Bonnell of Shanghai. A copy of Nashville Advocate.
