WHERE ANGELS FIND ABODE. Gharing With the Banctified the Various Loeal S8anctuaries. THE FABER IN THE PULPIT, Progress Made in the Work of Ex- tending the United Presbytorian Church—The Uentennial ongress—Eto., Eto, Omaha's Jonrnalistic Clergymen. The ministry of to-day has come to look tipon the press as a valuable ally. All of the leading ministers of the country can attrib- ute considernble of their reputation to the newspapers which, in reproducing sermons, have presented 10 the masses what would otherwise be conflned to a small coterie of auditors, Tho pulpit no longer looks upon the press as a device of the evil spirit as it did 400 yoars ago, but rather as an angel of light. Many clergymen owe in & measure their success in the palpit to the training they received in newspaper offices in early 1ife and others increase theie sphere of use- fulness by contributing to the press or by managing papers. Rev. E. B. Graham and Rev. W. R, Hen- derson are two brainy, pushing Preshyterian ministers of this city who find time apart from their active duties as christian clergy- wen to conduct newspapers, Mr. Graham is editor of the Midland, the well known paper of the United Presbyterian church, but des- Ppite his journalistic labors ho never misses n bbath in the pulpit. Mr. Henderson is tho pastor of the large congregation of the Second Presbyterian church on Saunders street, and isalso editor of the Central West, one of the most attractive and best arranged religious journals in the country. Had it not been for Rev. Charles Savidge's strong call to preach he would doubtless have been a newspaper man. However, he atill maintaina an active interest in nowspa- pers and his wide-awako sermons show that ho keeps himselt posted on all the latest news. Rev. W. J. Harsha 1s another strong be- Yiever in the press as an instrument of good. He has writton a great deal for various journals and takes o great intercst in news- papers and newspaper men, Omaba has her share of journalistic cler- gymen, and they all are acknowledged lead- ers. Oneof them is Dr. Duryes, tho emi- nent pastor of the Kirst Congregational church, whose finished, learned and logical discourses havo rendered the church too small for the people who flock to hear him on Sabbath morning. Dr. Duryea’s early man- hood was devoted to newspaper work, and it ‘was doubtless as a reporter for a great daily that he acquired the elegant, lucid stylo characteristic of discourses. Dr. Merrill, the new pastor of the First M. E. church, who has already sprung into the 'ront rank of Methodist ministers in Ne- raska, spent his early life in a prioting office, wud adwits that be loarned more as prioter than as college student. Before he was twenty years old he was managing o daily paper. The Catholic Congress. The first American Catholic congress will ssemblo in Baltimore to-morrow and adjourn Tuesaay night. In it will be delegates from nearly every state and territory in the union, Those from Nebraska bave already left for Baltimore, ‘The convention will be called to order by W. J. Onaban, of Chicago. After the open- ing prayer ex-Governor John Lee Carroll, of Maryland, will beselected _temporary chaur- man, Committees on credentinls and rules will_then be appointed as also to wait on Curdinal Gibbons and President Harrison, On Tuesday a number of papers will be read and discussions will tako place. The former comprise the following: “Catholic Congress,” by John Gilmary Shen, editor of tho Catholic News, of Now York, and America's foremost. Catholic his- torian; “Lay Action in the Church, by Major Henry . Brownzon, of Detroit; his- toricul paper, by Richard H. Clarke, of New York, the Catholic historian: “The Papacy,” Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore; *Th Catholic Press,”” George D. Wolff, editor of the Catholic Btandard, of Philadelphia; “Catholic Societies,” Honry J. Spanuhorst, of St, Louis; “Charities,”” Peter L. oy, of St. Louis; “Tho Catholic Editor,” Prof. Maurice . Egan, of Notre Dame uriversity, Notre Dame, Ind.; “The Work of Women and Children 'in the Industrial World,” J. W. Cummings, Boston, Mass, *“The Relations of Capital and Labor.” After tho adjournment, the convention will attend the formal opening of the divinity Achool of tho new Catholic university at ‘Washington. "T'his congress is to mark the centenary of he establishment of the American catholic torarchy. 1ts scope and the personuel of be leading disputants, the nature of the Jopics set for aiscussion, the character and ‘especial capubilities of ‘the leaders in the congressional debates, and the rep: esenta- ion that the laity of ‘the Awmerican church ill send will make the congress important not alone to catholics, but notable in Ameri- cun ecclesiastical history. Dr. Duryea's Lecture on Philosoph Dr. Duryea's class in mental philosophy Has taken up its work at the point where it Jeftoft last spring. A large number of those loterested were present at a preliminary meeting last Wednesday evening, whon the peason’s work was outlined by Dr. Duryea. The text book used last year, Upham's “‘Mental Philosophy,” will be retamned for ghe present, and the first subject discussed “will be thatof Memory, It is tho inteution to take up later some of the great works of English literature, to which, it is believed, this earlier course of fuental traiving will be a fitting introduction, @A courso of lectures on “Art"’ with stereopti- can views, may probably be given at a time pot yot fixed, This cliss isin no sense a weoturlun organization, All who are inter- estod in mental culture—~members of any church or of no church—are invited to at- fYend the meetings. A number from Council Bluffs have already applied for mewbership, No timid soul, whose school days are lon, past, need dreaa the ordeal. It 18 propose ive the instruction entirely 1 tho form of lectures, altuough Dr. Duryes will en- courage tho discussion by the class of topics considered, Moetings will _take place regularly here- after at 8:45 on Wednesday evenings in the Jecturo room of the First Congregational ehburch. It is hoped that members will pro- wide themselves, 80 furas possible, with ooples of the text book adopled, and that ghey will leave thoir names and addresses jwith Dr. Duryea, who desires u personal ac- Quaintance with each of them. A Y. M. Q. A. Breeze. ; There is trouble between the board of di- pectors of the Y. M. C. A. and the members Awho have mislaid or lost their tickets. These certificates of mombership cost $10 and en- title a member to all privileges. Several of $he members have lost their tickots and the mssociation so far has refused to issue new ones, and Secrotary Jenner denies these wembers the privileges of the association unless they presout the missing tickots ‘Which is of course an impossibility. Arthur Phelps, a book-keeper at the Rich- Ardson Drug Co., invested ten silver dollars Ao a ticket last March. - As he was not an a0 tive member ho attended only occasionally.

Owons, of the board of home missions of the same church, Xave been kn the city the past weok consulting with the officers of the First United PPresbyterian church concern- Ing the erection of a new building in the northern part of the oity. The question raised whether the church should have the entire proceeds from the sale of the present property or whether part of it should go to church missions, The members of the First church and the gentlemen of the buflding committee above referred to think that the congregation should enjoy the use of the en- tire amount, but J. L. McCague and the prominent laymen of two or thres otker United Presbyterian churches think that part of 1t should o to missions. The same committee decided to build a tabernacle or tewporary structure for church purposes on Twenty-fourth and Q strects in South Omauha, Prominent members of the United Prosby terian church say thatthroughout Nebraska their great need is not money but ministers, several churches being without pastors. A Summer School. Rov. John N. French, who has beon con- aucting a series of successful revival meot ings of late in Omaha, has the following to say concerning the establishing of a summer school for Omaha people: Tarkio is a pros. verous suburb of Omaha at the modest dis- tance of one hundred miles, Perched on a beautitul eminence on the west bank of the Tarkio river, open to every broeze that passcs, laden with the rich perfume of field and woodland, wonld it notbo a pieasant place to think of ama the heats and tho calms of sultry city summor days! And ‘would it not be a pleasant place to go to for o briof vacation! Who will second the motion to arrange for a summer school here, where for ten aays or so those who like to sing psalms when they o from home might come togother for the study of God's word under an efiicient leader?

His peo- ple represent that he has been preaching a great deal better ever since the fire, It is suid that the existence of the Baptist Telugu mission, whi has over thirty thou- sand converts, can be traced to the act of a poor seamstress, who was a Sunday school teacher, aad who gave a rough sireot-boy shilling to o to a Sunday school.

The tobacco question in its various rami- fications is worrying the brains of the clorgy- wen of the United Presbyterian body throughout the country.

AND Revival of tha Aflegbd Dynamite- Throwing Story, by the Dis- charge of Bowles, Clark, Bauerelsdn ét al. VROMAN HIS DEFEAT. Specnlations in the Oab, Engineer Johnson, who represented tife local lodge of the Brotherhood of Local En- gine in the annual convention just closed at Denver, has returned from the meeting Concerning the action of the members on foderation Mr. Johnson in convorsation with the writer said “While the plan of federation, as drafted and adopted by the labor organizations of the Unon Pacific, was not adopted by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Eogineers, asa whole, it 1s needless to stato that the undor- taking is galning much favor in the oast as woll as in the west. This was an off yearon federation, for tho reason that it was not alone involved. hero was _also the election of the grand ofiicers of the brotherhood. Had it not boen that those woro interested I firmly believe the majority vote would have been in f foderation. Unfortunately for tho ad : of amalgamation, they found themselves con- fronted with an organized opposition, lod by Chief Arthur. ~Arthur has always obposed federation, and, of course, could not in_the face of his campaign concede . point which was the foundation upon which the opposi- tion was resting. But even if Arthur's re- election had not been involved he would, ao doubt, have made his usual fight against an alliance, Federation, however, is one of the sure things to bo brought about. It is stronger ut the presont time than ever. In westorn circles, 1 is almost unanimously cndorsed. In the east it is accumulating strength, But at the con- vention the eastorn delegates adhored to Arthur, They were determined to secure his re-clection and went thoro closely in sym- pathy with his policy, in fact, so much so that they gave their entire support to what- ever eame up in keeping with it. That is why the amalgamation policy wus not car- ried out."” " “But,” continued Mr. Johnson, *‘the amal- gamation of the labor organizations on tho Union Pacitic will_in no way be affected by who uction of the Denver meoting. Our pol- icy was designed by ourselves and wo will liveuptoit. We did not federate for the purpose of strengthening our fortifica- tions as far as a strike is concerned, but rather to give us greater power to bring about the adjustment of differences be- tween the employer und the employes by ar- bitration; and to be vested with support which would necessarily command atten- tion. Where arbitration can be submitted for a strike, it should by all means be the first choice, and it was with these views pre- dominating that the articles of federation were drawn. That is where the trouble came in. To an individual who has not yet given the matter a second thought, 1t would appear as if we bad banded togethier in or- der to contine our attention. to strikes only. “The engineers from the cast looked at it in that way. But once and for all, federation means arbitration,.and the tune is coming when no human power can prevent the amal- wation of every railway labor organiza- tion in the United States:! o accomplish our aims we must all bo united,” Speaking of George Vroman's canvas for the chiefship, Engincer Johnson said: “Vro- man and the boys made a remarkable stand. Inaividually, I think hehad a stronger fol- lowing thun was shown by the vote, but when the federation duestion came up' the lines were closely drawn—the east on onc side, the west on tho -other. Those eastern fellows clung to Arthur, and to change them was something greater than we could ac- complish. They would have been balloting yet iiad they not accomplished his re-olec- tion. Yes, Vroman had a large foillowing, and when his list ran up 10 over one huudred names, Itell you the boys west of the river feit proud of their man. He made a good showiog and 1made friends among the supporters of Arthur. Vroman took his de- feat just as calmly as though be had been contésting in a foot” race. Ho is stronger in the ranks to-day than ever before," 1t has been learned from a reliablo sourco that the Burlinglon strike was given con- siderable attention in the convention of the Brotherbood of Locomotive Eugineers, It was not so much an 1ssue on the strike as 1t was an issue on the manner in which 1t tor- inated, However, it cropped out in the meeting in this way: George Cavener, sccond grand chicf, aftor the strike was settled, charged the members of the famous committeo of nine with conspir; and neglect of duty. At Denver Caven was called upon to ‘substautiate his charges, and a lengthy investigation followed. As a result, he failed to convince a majority of tha members that his accusation was well- founded. As a comsequence, when the members of the committee were exon- erated, Mr. Cavener tendered his resigna- tion, which was accepted. There are mem- bars of the brotherhood here who are of the same opinion as was Mr, Cavener, While they do not come out and state openly that the committee betrayed 168 trust, they insin- uate that the loop-hole in the agreement entered into, resulting in the strike being declured off, was of such a character s to invite suspicion; and if the members of tho commitiee dia 'not aiscover it, they were certainly out of place as committeemen on such an important matter, Just why a com- mittee of iutelligent men should accept such terms of settlement when they were em- powered to reject any unsatisfactory meas- ure, is aa unsolved vroblem in the minds of many members of the engumeers’ brother- hood. e Tne Bew's dispatchies from Galesburg, I1l., counvey the information that the Burlington dynamite conspiracy casc agaiust Bowies, Clark, Milis and Baureisen has beon dic. missed on motion of the state's attorney. It will be remembered that immediately after their arrest they were released, and “during the hottest portion of the fluht, traveled over the Burlington system delivering addresses to the engineors, At first they were accorded attention by the engineers, but later, tho strikiog brotherhood men discoverod thut their advisers were hirelings of the Burlington company, and 1nstead of be- ing engineers de facto, were Pinkerton spot- ters.
