A Review of ths Religious World of the Past Weak With th: A l- vancement in Several Churches. Bishop Newman's Work, Ember days of Lent closed yesterday, and this Sunday is the second Sabbath of fasting with the Catholics and Episcopalians. Lenten services have been held daily in all churches of these deuominations and have been well attended. The noon-day service which is held every day in the United States National bank building by Dean Gardner of Trinity Cathedral, has also been well at- tended. The service is of fifteen minutes duration, during business men's lunch time, and the devout Episcopalians and others are increasing in numbar at these popular meet- ings. They will continue through the Lenten season. Gospel service for men only has bcen held at the Y.M.C, A. concert hall the past week, ana will continue ihrough this week. They are special services under the direc- tion of Augustus Nash, state secretary of the Y. M. C.A . of Nebraska. Man; clergymen of the city have and will assist in the meetings. The singing has been congre- gational, led by a male choir. All of the meetings have been largely attended, and each night the audiences increased. The conference committees of the Metho- dists of the state held a_meeting Thursday afternoon at the First Methodist church on Davenport street for the purpose of consid- ering tue holding of & camp-meeting at Fre- mont this summer. This afternoon Monmouth Park Metho- church, a pew house of worship re- ently constructed, will be dedicated by Bisnop Newman. The following Sunday nigut te will dedicate the John P. Newman Methodist church on St. Mary's avenue. 1t 15 the church lately vacated oy the St. Mary's Avenue Congregzationalists.

This church, under the pastorate of Rev George M. Brow been steadily growing and its memoership has increased 1o guch & number that the con- gregation was goliged to determine upon increasing the capacity of the edifice. This house of worship is oue of the wealthiest Methodists congregations in the city. Bishop John P. Newman, of Nebraska, has returned from a four months’ trip in the south. During his -visit he attended all the annual conferencesan Florida, Virginia and the Carolnas, aud -stationed about . three hundred ministers, Last Sunday he dedi- cated the Sacramento Avenus Methodist church in Chicago. » In this city he will deai- cate the Monmouta: Park Methodist cturc near Fort Omaha, W afternoon. The mi ister of this church«will have a circuit and will preach in different localities, conse- quently the new house of worship will not have @ resiient pastor at presct. This morning the biskop will preach at the Seward Street Methodist church. The bishop is quartered at the Paxtou, but, contrary 1o ex- tations, he is not accompanied by his wife. be latter is now in Washington Cit; the guest of Sesator and Mrs. Staoford, with whom she will = re. main untl the adjournment of cougress. After this the senator ana wife willleave in a special car for their California bome. Mrs. Newman will accompany them as far as Omana She has never been iu the eity, but upon ber arrival with her husband, will be given a reception at the residence of Joseph H. McConnell, 2123 Cass street. It was proposad, a few days ago, when it was thought thut the bishop's wife would arri Mr. McConuel. home upon their arrival from the east. At this cathering 1t was in- tended that Mrs. Newman would be intro- duced in Methodist society. As she failed to come with the bishop the reception has been postponed until after the adjournment of congress. The cew Methodist church on St. Mary’s avenue will be dedicated by Bishop Newman next Sunday. In conjunction with the board of trustees of the First M. E. church, the bishop yesterday visited the office of Men- delssohn, Fisher, & Lawrie the architects of the new church, for the purpose of exam- ing the plans of the proposed structure. They are finished and are accepted. The bishop was much pleased with the arrange- ment, and thinks the new edifice will be one of tne finest and best appointed places of worship in the west. ‘Ihe work on the estimates and speci- cations will be comimenced about the first of next month, and then the plans will be ready 1o submit to the builder who makes the low- est bids. The structure will cost £75,000 and one tenth of this amount will be paid by issaid. In regard to hop Newman stated that it dependea principally upon tue hospitality of the citizens. In his _judgment they could mot well afford to let such an opportunity pass. Wk Omaha should encourage the holding of the confereuce was that an_important body, rep- resenting every city and all countries upon the globe would be here. Some people nave believed that there was not sufticient hotel accommodations for the visitors, and that there was no place in which the Methodists of the county could assembie, but the bishop is of the opition that within that time large hotels and commodious halls will be erected. He has great hopes for Omaha, and thinks the conference will be held here. The Methodists are quite jnbilant over their success thus far this year. At the South Tenth street church, forty-four have gone in by probation and twenty-one by let- ter. By probation at the Seward street church 103 have been uited by probation and thirty-eight by letter. Hanscom park church i 1d now bas a membership of ne members have been received aference.

The revival will continue for some time yet. The Rev. J. M. French, of Cleveland, O., who bas accepted acali to the pastorate of the First United Presbyterian church, Omaha, was released by the Presbytery of Cleveland last week, and will arrive in this city the first week in April. It is not defi- nitely known just what dav he will get here, but he will enter bis new field Sunday, April 7. The ladies of St Mary’s Avenue Congre. gational church gave & very pretty enter- tainment in the church pariors on Friday evening, consisting of the cradle songs of many nations presented in appropriate cos- tume.
