The Cairo bulletin., 1910-04-02

meeting at the Armory last night,
more roustQg and much bigger than
that OF the night before, and the
spirit that pervaded 1t was similar
to that which pervaded the other In
that it aimed to lay up treasure. 1t
differed in this, however: the meet
ing of Thursday night sought only for
treasures on earth by developing
physical resources, commerce and in
dustry, while that of last night sought
first to lay up treasure on high, by
developing the moral state of the
community.
1t was the banquet of the Longs
and Shorts Of the Presbyterian
Mems Bible Glass. Nearly three hun
dred men were seated around the
festive board, and were served by
fifty ladies' who had provided fine
feast for the occasion. Mr.. Jacob
Hyde presided as POSTMASTER and in
opening the program expressed the
opinion that flis selection to that inn
portant office was joke, which, how
ever, proved untrue for tae program
was carried out admirably.
After fine selection by Arthur
Turner and Chester White on the vio-
lin with Miss Maude Sutherland at
the piano, Judge Dewey opened the
speech-making with an eloquent trib'
nte to "1 lie Bible as the Business
Mans Handbook" FTa pronounced II
the greatest book Of the world, set
ting forth the basic principles which
should guide men of all ages and in
all the walks of life: it was the best
portrait of human character extant
and had been a fountain of inspira-
tion to the great men Of every age,
who had shaped the destinics of ma
tions. 1t pointed the road TO success
in life, not always to success as meas
ured by dollars and cents. but to that
success which meant more than the
accumulation Of wealth, in that it
brought happiness.
The Methodist churcn quartette
gave selection, responding to an
enchore with another. and was fol
lowed by Judge Butler who spoke on

this kind, the Judge seemed to be at
his best last night. The Judge is a
noted story teller and he put HIS audi
ence at their ease with one of recent
date. Speaking on his subject he
said the experiences OF men were
very much alike, all having their
high lights and deep shadows all
were at some time forced to stand in
the shadows, and the higher men
climbed the fiercer the lights and
the deeper also were the shadows.
The Savior of Men was distinguished
above a others in this respect, while
next to him perhaps was Lincoln
who had stood in and felt the deep
shadows more heavily than any other
man. But sunshine must follow
shadow sooner or later always: it
might come in pleasant recollectlons
of the past, or through inspiration
from animate or inanmate things,
One Of the brightest and most inspir-
ing incidents was to be found in the
great gathering of men and women
before him fmbued with a noble pur-
pose. The Judge referred to the com.
mon camptafnt of men that they
found 1t tiresome to attend church,
saying if they listened to lawyers fol
tour -ur i've hours at time they
might not find it so tiresome to at
tend church or Sunday school once
in a while.
Short talks were made by Messrs.
Stokes, Spann, Jackson and Balm for
the Longs and Shorts, the latter in
behalf o. tie ..c-..gs who were the
defeated party, presenting the cap
tain of the Shorts" with huge sticl
of candy neatly bound with ribbons
