The Maccabees held an open meeting
last evening in their temple on Main
street, and several hundred mem bers of
the order and their friends were in at
tendance.
f. W. Kinsey introduced General Camp
bell as the chairman of the evening. He
delivered few well chosen remarks. COM
mencing with poetic quotation, as fol-
lows:
"Abou Ben Adhem may his tribe increase,
Awoke one night from sweet dream OF peace
And saw, within the moonlight in his room.
Making all br ght aud glorious like lily in
An Angel writing in a book OF gold
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold;
And, to the vision in the room, he said,
What writest thouY The Angel raised its head,
And, with look all full of sweet accord
Answered. The names OF those who love the
Lord
And is mine one? said Adhem. 'Notso,'
Replied the Angel; Ben Adhem spoke more
But cheeriy still, and said Then
Write me us one who loves his fellow men
The Angel wrote and vanished. Next nj ght.
1t cam again. with a great awakening light;
And showed the names whomlove OF cod had
blessed
And 10! Ben Adhcm's name led all the rest"
II do not now remember who wrote
It, said the speaker, but whoever did
held the spirit of genuine mercy and
charity in his heart. 1t was a wise thing
for the Odd Fellows to take this beautiful
poem and make it part of their ritual
istic work, as | understand they have be-
cause it is a most beautiful expression of
God approval of love to men, and no
man can read it or hear it without becom-
ing grander man in his soul.
The world is full of selfishness. The
old familiar saw, every fellow for him
self and the devil take the hndmost,' is a
clear expression of the selfish sentiment of
the human heart. Guided by this scnti-
ment. we become wild beasts and prey
upon each other. The living, vital ques-
ton of the hour is, How can | acquire
it my own, for my use and benefit No
matter ii he needs it and will suffer by be-
ing deprived OF it, want it and will have
it, by any means, fair or foul" Now, any
organization of men to overcome tins sell
fish sentiment and build up the idea of
caring for others is blessing to man
kind. and should be patronized. fostered
and encouraged by all men who desire I'M
selilshnesS to prevail. To talk about
charity and love to all men is one thing.
10 do and act this lovely sentiment is an
other thing, quite another.
40 tell of the good deeds you have done
and to draw upon your imagination for
your facts and their coloring, is one
thing. TO do the deeds of real help and
say nothing much about it is another
t';ig, quite another. To preach and
Pray and give nothing. is one thing. TO
