The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1874-04-28


ianguish or cease TO live? No not Until
virtue shall be vice and to to good an evil,
will 1t do To-day its birth
day In our land Gnds IL greatly
increased in strength and when wo
and our children and our children's
children shall have passed away
nations yet unborn will receive il as n
glorious legacy md add millions to the
army beneath it's banner. lie time will
not be throc score years and ten but the
ago OF tho world itself. How appropriate
then that on this anniversary we reflect
on the pgst ninco our brethren callol "
with an united voice to Join their ranks
AMI shared with Us tho benefits and privil-
cg0s which they passed, as we'll rs upon
the dutlca incumbent upon us as Ojd-Fcl-
lows aud mako new and firm resolutions
TO press on and not be weary in we'll doing.
Let IL remember that charity means some
thing moro than loosobng our pur G
strings. 1t means rcapoct for other mons
yiowa, no matter how conflicting with our
own, wha,hor in religion, politics, la iless
or whatever subject upon which men may
ier IT means still more than this. 1t
means u sympathy for men who commit
faults md effort TO point out, convince and
reform them of their errors rather shan n
| condemnation of them, which would
hasten if.nOt complete Their ruin.
ltmeans n helping hand instead Of u
kick. IL means kind word in place of n
bitter ono IL means soft answer in
| place of n harsh ono. 1t means y comfort
and help ~ raise ur those who fall
When We look upon tho great universe
Of creation ard think upon tho worlds,
upon worlds countless In numbers and re-
nlizo TINT ours Is less ~ compGrd with the
| whole than drop of water TO tho mighty
ocean; and that when 1 point with my
finger 70 tho cas', we't north or south IL
is in direction to which there is no limit
that there ia no end to space,
eld that wer' individuals arc nero specks
on the suri face Of tho earth which is n mere
speck itsolf rs compared to all tho works
Of creation whom we are not certain OF
living another day, nay not even nm hour
aud that before another anniversary shall
roll around, some who now hear by voice
and maybe him whose voice you hear
ahR.l be silent in the grave, how in.igni
iicant should il make US feel and how H.
tie the difference between one man and
another, except upon the great principles
upon which is based our noble order o
Odl Fellows.
