A sterlins Ola Poem.

Who shall Judge msn from bis manners?
VINO shall know him by bis dress!
Paupsrs may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumplsd shirt and dirty jacket
May be clothe the golden ore
OF the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest can do no more.
There are streams Of Crystal nectar
Ever flowing out Of stone;
Thsre are purple beds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and ovsrthrown.
God, who counts oil souls, not dresser,
Loves and prospers you aud me,
While be values thrones the highest
But as pebbles 10 the sea.
Man upraised above his fellow,
OFT forgets his fellows then:!
M Masters-rulers-lord, remember
That your meanest L nds are msa!
Men Of labor, men Of feeling,
Men of thought and msn OF fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans ennobling name.
There are foam embroidered oceans,
There are little wood clad ril,s;
There are feeble inch high saplings.
There are cedars on the hills,
God, who counts b. sou 8, not by stations
Loves and prospers you and me,
For to hin all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF nations wealth aud fame,
Tired laziuess is pensioned,
Fed and fatted on the same;
BY the sweat OF others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice.
While the poor mau's outraged freedom
Vainly lifts its feeble voice.
Truth aud justice are eternal
Born with loveliuess and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is sunny right.
God, whose word wide voice is singing
Boundless less love to you and me,
Links oppression with its titles
But o. pebbles in The seA

Cairo will be from the states Of Missouri,
Kentucky and Illinois. In the state OF
Illinois, we have nearly 900 churches
with membership Of about 10000. In
the state Of Missouri we number over
$4,000, and In the state Of h entucky about
10000. -..... .-.
As with other denominations, so with
ours. Among the most intelligent, enter.
prising and wealthy, we find many seek.
ing tho towns and cities for business, edu-
cational and religious privileges, and with
the large number of members of Baptist
churches in these three states, many OF
whom | happen to know, are seeking such
privileges, IT is not difficult to sec how
strong a magnet TO draw them hither ward
hourishing Baptist church would DO
Nor is IL difficult TO see the wisdom of the
present effort of tho church TO build a
house OF worship, or their forecast in plan.
