LANK|N THRILLS
CAIRO BAPTIST
CHURCHAUD|ENCE
Evangelist Delivers Very Impressive
Sermon and Makes
Strong Plea.

God Hurls' His Challenge at the
flNisdofn OF. Man was the subject OF
"a powerful sermon delivered to
crowded house in the Cairo Baptist
church last night. The most im-
pressive service ever held in the
Cairo Baptist church was held last
night. Rev Lamkin thrilled his
audience with one of the most pas
sionate p eas ever made in Cairo in
behalf of the claims of the Christian
religion. He pictured in the most
graphic way the awful and doleful
door of the sinner and called upon
him to decide where he would spend
his eternity, and what answer he
would make at the judgment OF God
to the accusation of having wasted
lis life. The meeting tonight is to
be of special interest.
At the $3.50 service in, the after
noon Dr. Lamkin spoke on the Home
and Family religion. His text was
in Josh. 24.15. But as for me and
my house, we will serve the Lord"
He spoke of the unmeasured import
anoe of religion in the family and
in the home. Home, he said was
four walls including one family
with identity of interest and bound
together with the golden cords O.
sacred love that all the evil forces
of this world are impotent to break.
Home is a word that vibrates
through all the weary years of life.
1t is the imprtgnable safeguard OF
virtue and character, and gives di-
rection to life. The involability OF
the home is the foundation and
crown, the bulwark and G ory. the
safety and guarantee of the highest
interest of our race.
In the evening at 1880 DR.. Lam
kin preached on Gods Challenge to
Reason" He chose for a text lisa.
LIS Gene now aud let us reason
together. saith the Lord. Nowhere,
said the speaker. has God so honored
mortal man as by these words. He
has invited man whom he has en-
dowed with reason to come and talk
over matters of eternal interest to
both. Joseph Cook, the great
scientific thinker and lecturer said
on one occasion. Gentlemen. this
universe up to the edge of the tomb
is no joke

"The damage that has been done
by this flood was the result of two

which were risen above their banks.
In order to solve this problem there

Bill Hostile to Farmers, Says
Texan; RedeemS Platform
Pledges, Asserts Speaker.
SLAP AT THE PRESIDENT
Rural Credit Legislation Should
Be Concurrent with That for
Bankers, Declares Rules
Committee Chairman.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Aug. lin statements
issued tonight. Speaker Champ Clark and
Representative Henry, Of Texas, both
Democrats, respectively. defend and at
tack the administration currency bill now
before the Democratic caucus. The
Speaker SAYS that, while the Glass-Owen
bill may not be rated as perfect. 1T is
great Improvement over the present
patchwork system" Mr. Henry, who is
chairman Of the Rules Committee. asserts
the bill is an asset currency measure, is
opposed to Democratic principles and dis
eliminates against the farmer.
Naturally we are making slow prog
rcss on the currency bill" says Mr..
Henry. THE Baltimore platform de-
clared against the Aldrich bill. an asset
currency bill In caucus Mr.. Underwood
freely admitted this bill undeniably pro-
vides for asset currency, and practically
every Democratic member Acknowledges
he interpreted il correctly"
The Texas insurGent says the voters
have ropudiated the Aldrich bill and have
not yet reversed the commands of the
Baltimore platform. n an asset currency
scheme is to be fastened upon the coun-
try. he SAYS, there should not be utter
disregard Of the farmers and wage earn
crs.
Speaker Clark. however. sees in the bill
provision for the agricultural sections
He says the Democratic party cannot re-
tam power unless IL redeems platform
pledges. One OF the promises in the Bal
time platform. he adds, was currency re-
form
The Speaker continues: What will be
counted among the good features OF the
Glass-Owen bill by such great agricult-
ural constituencies as represent is the
fact that il makes provision in the saw
ines department for loans on improved
farm lands brand new thing for ma
tional banks Another is that II will tend
to keep the peoples money In the places
where il is owned and not concentrate
so much of II in one place; still another
feature which rural folks will indorse is
that it prohibits the loaning of bank
deposits for the purpose OF speculation
in stocks and bonds. But the best feature
is the government control of the national
banking system.
1t is objected that It confers too much
powe r on the federal reserve board-but
power must be lodged somewhere. in
somebody. and ii is better to lodge II IN
government board than In private
hands. a Presidents fame Will depend
largely on the justice, wisdom and pa
triotism with which the federal reserve
board uses its great powers and dis
charges its important duties"
