CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

TO the Citizens of Cairo: Rev. j
| c. MINES and wife who have beer
| in this city five weeks and who came
HERE absolute strangers wish TO make
a public appeal. They were engaged
| by the board of the so called SeconI
| Christian church letter of agree
ment was sent that while that while
they come to look over the field al
expenses would be betrayed them
| Two weeks ago after a reception was
| given them and arrangements for &
| parsonage was made they promising
| to stand Loyalty together for loya
support and even went to writing il
that they would stand together as a
unit. They gave us the impression
that Cairo was an awful place but Is
ii any wonder, if the leaders of the
| Second ehurhch are such poor eX
| amples. What can you expect OF
| those who never attend church and
watch their lives instead.
| This promise which they so fully
| pledged has proven deception and
they have not stood by us and instead
| left us out in the cold world without
a penny, rent Iue, nothing in the
house to eat. The Second Christian
church aims are good if they lived
up to it, They believe that if per
son is hungry to feed them but
Charity Begins at Home"
We are very thankful that although
people may say that Cairo is bad yet
there is never a place so bad but that
YOU can find some good in it also and
withal Cairo has as good many kind
hearted people as any place and We
wish to extend oar thanks to those
who have so kindly come to our aid
a this crucial hour.
We feel it our reasonable duty and
respect to the First Christian Church
Of Cairo and other Christian organi-
cations to make this appeal and to
make known to the public the true
character of the division of the Sec
ond church which is now being
shown from the first that no one else
be deceived as We have and feel that
the First Christian church of this
city should have the help and support
at this time as it has been hard on
them to a certain extent through
division as people could not under
stand why such thing should hap.

Il would be appreciated very much

either in money or food both are
needed as the leaders of the so-called
Second church have proven disloyal
to their agreement. We give the pub. |
lie access to investigate for themselves

and have letters to prove such. viii
