WORDS OF BIBLICAL WISDOM. Eloguent Sermons By V Olerzymen Yesterday. ATTENTIVE CONGREGATIONS. Omaha Protestant Pulpits Filled By Learned Divines—The Texts and Substance of the Discoursns, Sermons By Visiting Pastors, Nearly all of the Protestant pulpits were tilled yesterday and last evening by visiting Presbyterian clergymen who are in attendance upon the general assembly. The following are synopses of the dis- conrses which it was possible to obtain through reporters of the Bre First Methodist Episcopal Church, Re Dr. MeMillan preached in the morning at the First Methodist Episcopal church. His text was John I, 4, “In Him was life and the life was the light of man.'He spoke of the necessity of fellow- ship with God in order to get a corre view of the truth, of man's duty al destiny, Without that fellowship has an ncorrect view of sin proposition the speaker illust by describing the eflect of a picture when seen in a wrong light. He continued: We may estimate God's view of sin by the visitation of the deluge and by His giving His son as a sacrifice Without this fellowship man does not get the right views of the plan of redemption in Chbrigt. Without this fellowship man does not get the right view of the provi dential dealings of God. The preacher spoke length upon in- telligent christianity and averred that true ntelligence could only come from continued and unremitting communion with God and the teachings of His word. The congregation was lurge and atten. tively appreciative, Rev. W. A. Patton, of Philadelphia, roushed in the evening from the ollowing text BRI The sermon was a presentation of the thought caleulated to answer objee- tions to the bible, and was presented ina strong manner, 1. The divine origin of the word. The writers of the bible agr th the best deductions of science. God preserved them from error. 2. The victories of the carnest of the future. 3. ‘The book of God was urged as the source of comfort and strength., Castellar Stre an Church.

Their desire for a king, however, was an unholy one, was based upon the 1dea that Christ with'His power would be able to give them all they wanted in the way of earthly goods, which they were too lazy themselves to secure.

The services in this church were unus- ually inte ing yesterday. The Rev.

Brown yesterday. In the evening Rev. Mr. Houston, of ‘Wyoming, O., spoke, He is an cloquent man, and the large audience present were visibly impressed with his remarks, Yesterday communion services were held in the church and nine communicants were added to the roll of Christianity. There were several of the commissioners Bmsuut during the services, which was a efitting compliment to the pastor of the church and the gentieman ocoupy the puipit. Rev.

Where Tabernacle Congregational. At the Tabernacle Congregational church yesterday morning the pulpit was occupied by the Rev. Dr.J. Henry. The church was well filled, and the re- marks of the divine were closely fol- lowed. The doccor was suffering from hwarseness, but his delivery was still strong. ‘Tho text was John ii-20: *This my joy therefore is fulfilled,” The doctor said there was no passion in the human breast more hateful than envy. We are assured that Joshua was truly pious, yet from an euvious zeal for his mother's honor he was desirous of silencing those who bydivine inspiration prophesied in the camp. The disciples of our Lord were treated by no better principle when they forbade « person to cast out devils in his name, beesuse he did not follow them. The nomI»lnmls which John's disciples made to him respecting the multitndes who submitted to the baptism of Jesus also originated in the same feeling. But that John the Baptist was one of nature's, or, rather, one of God's nobility. does not admit of question. Eyery man his own life work to do as truly as the Baptist had his. The all-wise and benevo. lent Creator has called nothing into existence without assignng to it its own place and mission. Every- thing in the whole universe of God eame into existence as the resnlt of a divine plan. No two men are ex- actly alike, nor are the spherves and cir- cumstances of any two men exactly alike. It is an animating and strength- ening thought to know that we are tillin; the place and doing the work appainted us by God. He who hus ascertained his mission and is fullilidg it, however enial his work may be, knows that it . own—the work for which he is best tted. By doing it he is rising in dignity of character and in blessedness, By faithfully performing his duties, howeyer lowly they may be 5“' Master is mould- ing him into beauty and titting him for a hizher sphere, and when the end cometh he will not mourn that was not a a greater and more prominent sphere, but like John the Baptist he will rejoice that he has been enabled to fullill his festiny —that be has done his work and “he shall have rejoicing in - himselt and not i another.” ~Let us ever remember, friends, and rejoice in the truth that God has given every man his special work. his Park Avenue Presbyterian, Rev. J. L. Kalb, of Bellefontaine, Ohio, &poke in this church in the morning be- fore a very large congregation. He hose his text from Timothy xii, 13 “And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses wiere ye are, and when I see the blood 1 will pass over you and the plague shall not be upon you to d you when I smite the land of Egyy There were four principal points in Mr. Kalb's sermon First, the necessity of atonement in man's salvation; second, the work of atonement has reference to God in the way of preparatory aid: third, that the blood must be applied in order to beasaving eflicacy, The reverend gentleman 18 a splendid speaker, thor- oughly evangelical on everything he says, and every word he utters seems to cut to the core.

G. E. Guild, of the Providence church, Scran- ton, pre: ed from ii. Corinthians, 11, 4 “I wrote unto you that ye might know the love I have more abundantly unto you.” He said: The words serve as a star in the east by which we are beck oned unto the heart of a great man. They serve as a window through which we can look unto the life of the great Apostle Paul. Naturally we inquire what was the secret of Paul's power. In looking at his life we observe that he was u great traveler, having large wmong Jews and . Gentiles, tks, wise and unlearned, osophers and day laborers. a man of great intellectual erudition has been eulogized his death. He was quick to know what to say. He was thoroughly conversant with Hebrew seripture, made a study of the passions of men. He had great prae- tical sagacity. He could build a tent and navigs ship. He was careful in his judgments and far secing in his plans. He was also an mspired man. But the real seeret of his power is hardly to be found in these. s it not re- vealed in the text; namely, in his m v Paul's tears came up from his t before they came out from his cyes. Heart power as distinguished from intellectual power moves the world, Strong affections rightly trained will usually accomplish more” in the higher walks of lifo than mere mental ability, void of sympathy and sensibility. Ti scriptures teach that moral character u product of the heart. Christianity is the religion of thought, but not the mys- tical thought of a stoie. Itis the active, working, sympathetic thought of Apostle Paul, It 18 thought that is full of inspir- ation to the tempted. This is illus- trated by the pacable of the good sa. maritan. The priest and the Levite passed by the wounded man, though probably both bad compassion on him. But the samaritan transiated his compassion into actions, put him on his_horse, took him to an inn, paid his bills. It was wvrm heart acting that has made pro- verbial this deed of the samaritan. ‘This would seem to be the need of the church, to translate its motions and feelings into practical service, its men into useful power, its impul into habits.

He said it was only through his death that man could be saved. It should be remem- bered that the claim of Christ was that God gave him power to give cternal life to those who believed in him. RELIGIOUS MAJORITY, lmpressive Services at the Synagogue Yesterday. The synagogue of the congregation of Israel was tilled yesterday afternoon by an audience which assembled to witness the ceremony of confirmation. The pretty little house of worship was fra grant with the odor of flowers which were everywhere about the chancel, the pulpit and the altar. According to the custom the rite of confirmation is admin istered but once n ar. When the children of Hebrews rcach the age of thirteen years it is the perisd when they publicly muke a declaration of faith and unite with the church. There were five confirmed yesterday. They were Abraham Kalish, George Allegmon Loul olomon, of Plattsmouth, Gusta Kapold, and Venda Solomon, of Plattsmouth. The ceremony was con ducted by Dr. Benson, rabbi of the con gregation of the church of . sisted by the oflicers of the courch ) services began at 8 o'clock and lasted until 5 o'clock. ‘The ceremony consisted of questions |‘n'u|mum|~-d by the rabbi and responded to by the children, con corning the tenets of the Hebrew faith I advanced to the altar, offered a prayer and publicly declared Taith in the principle of the forefathers. They were wstructed in the law as given to Moses on Mount Sinai, repeated the command; ments and were addressed individually and collectively and instructed therein by therabbi. The services were lengthy, were interesting and very impressive, At the close the young converts embraced their prrents, who were in the body of the sudience, returned and were greeted by the rabbi and the church officers, and were each presented with a parchment by their teacher, Dr, Benson.

The fish are carried in ten gallon cans, which are held in tanks ranging along both sides of the car. ‘The number of the voung shad with which this teresting experiment is to be made is 1,100,000, ‘Their average length now is a half inch, The water is changed on them every five hours, and such good care is taken™ that but few have died on the trip. Mr. Moore said: *‘While the water of Salt Lake will not permit tish to live, so strongly impregnated with the saline property is it, that of the tributaries at their mouths is not stronger than sea water, and a few miles back it fresh. It has been the iden of the commissioners for some time that shad would grow n it. We are now going to try.

The hammer came down on an empty shell, the only one in the chamber. Before the man could shoot in O'Brien knocked him down and sprang away.
