98 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 



thought it would be a great inspiration to the dairy busi- 

 ness, and all the big business men of the community want 

 you. I have letters from the biggest business men who 

 have achieved unusual success, and they have all invited 

 you to come down and see us. I also have a telegram from 

 the agricultural man of the New York Central Lines. He 

 asks you to come down, and I have this much to say for 

 my city: after you have been three days with us, you will 

 say, ''All Charley Taylor said about Egypt is true." And 

 I want to say to you we are close enough to the Mason and 

 Dixon Line, we will be just as cordial as the most southern 

 courtesy you have received, and when you come back you 

 will have a different impression of Egypt. Truly down 

 there they will show you real hospitality, and when you 

 leave my community you will leave it with the fondest and 

 tenderest memories of having visited my beloved Egypt. 

 Sometimes I am almost afraid — I am sorry to leave it for 

 a little while. I sometimes have to go away for six or 

 seven weeks, and when I get back and step off the train 

 the first thing I hear is, *'How do you do, Charley, I am 

 glad to see you back." I just like to get back to Egypt 

 and shake hands with folks I have been living among all 

 these years ; and there isn't a city in the world that I would 

 leave my beloved Harrisburg to live in. I want you to 

 come down and know my folks like I know them, and 

 without any invitation you will say, ''Is there any chance 

 for us to come again?" I extend you this invitation, you 

 can extend the next one to yourselves. I am mighty happy 

 to have had this time with you. (Great applause.) 



Toastmaster: I am not one of the "powers that be" 

 in this organization, Mr. Taylor, but I do not know how 

 the officers of an organization like this could help having 

 a thing like that get under their shirt, President O'Hair, 

 and I am sure this man will receive the proper attention 

 at the proper time.

 his very first sermon. The darkey janitor sat in the back 

 end of the church and was a very interested and critical 

 visitor. The next day a gentleman came to him and said,
