they were not made prominent IN good
cause. President Fisher said he had never
heard the objection spoken Of by Rev. Mr..
Morrison. lie and other workers had not
attended the Carbonate convention bacause
they could not get time, and not because
they were ignored. Rev. Mr.. Morrison
hoped the gentleman did not intend to cast
any reflection upon his veracity, and we be.
gan to have an impression that we were in
one of the houses of the Illinois General
Assembly, or the lower house of Congress.
Prof. Jerome interfered with last
few words, in which he declared
himself to be target at which
good many people were throwing missiles
but he did not care; all he was anxious to
do was TO work for the glory of God. Pres
ident Fisher did not mean, of course, to re.
fleet upon the veracity of Rev. Mr.. Nor
rison. All he wanted to say was that he
knew pretty well the sentiments of the S,
S. workers of Alexander, and he had never
heard the complaints mentioned by the
reverend gentleman. Rev. Mr.. Morrison
somewhat tartly Che is always, as all men
very much in earnest are, emphatic) repeat
ed what he had said and declared that
the objection had been made in
the State convention that Southern
Illinois below Decatur was entirely ignor-
ed, and SO forth. Then Father Paxson
told how much he regretted this condition
of affairs; but the fact was, the people else
where did not know Cairo. He had been
asked by young men, what about Cairo.
He had replied he did not know. But he
had learned. Cairo was good dty. He
had met in it the noblest and kind-hearted
of Christians. The state convention should
be held in Cairo.
This ended the matter, and the conven-
adjourned for dinner.
So it seems Southern Illinois, lsboring in
the cause of the Lord, is as ignored as she
is in politics. The North and Middle re.
gard US of the South as of little account,
and consequently ignore us. But all we
ask is, more intimate acquaintance. Father
Paxson, after a couple of days association
with our Christian fellow citizens, concludes
that Cairo is an une1ceptionable city, and
we are sure his opinion would be still
farther exalted if he were permitted to
become acquainted with some
of our better class Of sinners. In their
way they are as attractive as Christians
and We are sure Father Paxson would like
them. They do not hide their light under
bushel, and do not fear competition firm
any quarter. And then there is anothu
thing that should render Cairo particular.

Every man Of family who starts at Cairo
