THE JOURNALS AND THEIR WORK Al Denominations Represented— General Review of the Doings of Pulpit and Pew During the Past Week. Omaha's Religious Papers. Omaha is regarded as a very gay\Jown, but @ place that supports 8o many splenaid and bright and prosperous church papess must certainly contain considerable religious se timent. There is probably no city of its size in the country that can boust of more or better religious papers than Omana, All the sheets are managed by ministers and comprehend some of the best mimsterial talent in the eity, Helow is given a sketch o1 the best known papers: THE MIDLAND, The Midland is not, as many suppose, morely a local church paper, but is u roli- gious journal of general circulation. 1t has already scveral thousand subscribers. ‘While its local patronage is excellent and while it has large lists in Towa and N braska, yet its largest list by states is in I1li nois, It is reported to have the largest cir- culation of any protestant paper between Chicago and San Francisco and nortn of St. Louis, and the samo is increasing rapidly. Its net gain in the last six months has been about 20 per c The Midland is so named because it is pub- lished and circulates most extensively in tho central part of the country. It receives its sub-head, *“The United Presbyterian of the West," because it is published in the inter- ostof that denomination, and especially in the interest of the western part of tho church, ‘The paper was founded January. 1884, in St. Louis, Mo. Seeiug the advan- tages of Omaba us a more central city, and and the advantages that a paper of a gen- eral circulation would bring to the church in Omaha, it was bought by Rev. . B. Granam in 1586 and moved to this ¢ By its in- formation concerning the church and the city, it bus been the means of bringing a large number of its church eople to Omaha, A paper of its character is an advantagc t0 the city as well as to the church. The paper is doing a great work in bringing immigrants to settle in different places of our @tate. Church people wish to locate ‘whero they can find a church of their choice. Through ~ this paper ministers and have advertised large- and brought to our city many of the best class of cit- izens. Such a paper as the Midland is re~ garded as being of no swmall benefit to our ity and to our state, because these papers are not 8o generally known among business men, they do not realize the value and the importance of such periodicals. No agency is doing more to buiid up the western country, than the churches and the minidters who ad wvertise through the church papers so largely the advantages of this country, and urge their brethren 1 the east to come and setilo with them. The editors and publishers of the Midland in St. Louis were: Rev, W. P. M’Nary, D.D,, ana Rev. A. 1l. Harshaw. After moving the paper to Omana, for a time Mr. Graham was sole proprietor and editor, although ho .)uul the assistance of Dr. M’ Nary and others. In 1850 the Midland publishipg company was with the following director: nn n, John Wiliiam- M. Lorimer and B. Graham. Mr. Graham owns a controlling 1interest in the company. and is its president and the man aging editor of the paper. Since coming to he city the circulation has doubled. Its prospect for the future is most excellent. It is the only paper of this de- nomination west of Pittsburg. 1tis a live vigorous and wide-awake paper, and s dis- posed to adaocate and encourage what is known as the liberal snd progressive ole- ment in that rather conservative church. THE CENTRAL WEST. The Central West was started in the fall of 1543 as u small four-page weekly, de- signed to give tho Presbyterian news of the city. The demand was soon made, however, for an enlargement of its scope in order that the churches of the whole state might find representation in its columns. The discon- tinuance of the Christian Hour, which haa been published here, left a vacuum which Nobraska abnorred and the Central West has filled. Then came on the revision con- troversy in the Presbyterian church, and so ably is Mr. Henderson conducting his oppo- sition to Lhat proposed measure that the at- tention of the whole church has been called to bis paper. Now he has subscribers and coutributors east and west, and the success of the venture is assured. It is a large eight-page paper now, with all the tsual de- partuents. The Central West is a breezy, lively church paper, devoted to the interests of the Pres- byterian denomination, but in no sense nar— row or bigotted. It goes into many homes outside of that denomination where a helpful religious rcnomml 18 welcomed. Dr. Stephen Phelps of Council Bluffs is one of the asso- ciate editors aond has rendered invaluable help in its progress. Dr. George T. Crissman of Hastings is the other associate editor and much of its success ia due to his influence and his pen. The circulation is growing very rapidly and whe paper will certainly bo a credit to Omaba. Rey. Henderson tho editor who 18 guiding the journal 8o sec- cessfully, will resign his pastorate of the Saunders street church May 1 and devote his time exclusively to his paper. DISTRICT ADVOCATE. Tho Omaha District Advocate is devoted to the interosts of the Methudist church and 18 edited by Presiding Eider Clendenning. 1t is puolished ouce a month and contains ©eight pages, the greater portion of which is devoted to solid reading matter. It contains roligious cditorials, news from the other churches, and information regarding the current history of the auxiliary organizations in the Methodist church. NEXT WEEK. *Next Week at Hanscom Park Methodist Episcopal Church’ is the name of the folio Rotten out overy week by Rev. George M. Brown, It coutans a List of all the church oficors, aunouncements for the week and all the local church news. The fourth page is devoted to advertisements which not only pay for the printing of the sheet but also leave a little surplus for the benefit of the church. The paper is not only given to the members but 18 also peuerally ~ distributed through the com- munity. ly THE MONITOR Rrings glad tidiugs of good things to the wembers of the South Tonth Streot M.

Meanwhile ho will aid the congregation in its efforts to ure a desirablo successor, The members of the church wero greatly surprised to hear of his resignation and were loth to accept the proffer. He gives as his reasons for re signing the fact that the members of his cougregation aro so scattered that the time consumed in attending 1o his pastoral duties makes serious inroads on his hours for study. Mr. Martin says that he is too young yet to @ve up his studies, but he regrets that he has to ieave Omaha.

RELIGIOU At Pittstield Mass., the high school prin- cipal suspended six Catholic scholars be- cause of ® dispute concerning the study of thio history of the reformation. Dr. William M. Taylor has given the rule for preachers concerning the introdifttion of questions of the day into the pulpit. He says: *Unless there is something on which I cannot hold my peace I leave them slone.’ ‘The Rev. Moses D. Hoge, D.D., has just completed the forty-fifth year of his service as pastor of the Second Presbyterian church of Richmond, Va. This is his first pastor- ato and he is the only pastor that the chureh. has ever had. The educational policy of Dr. Keane, réc~ tor of the Catholic university in Washing- tou, is public schools in which the state shall havo full control of the secular cducation, and the several denominations control of the religious education, but religious education m ail. ““That which would be cruelty in mau can- not be mercy in God.” says the Evangelist: and_with burning words it accuses of libel on God those who assert that God can justly condemn the heathen and their offspring to cternal death for the sin of Adam and for not accepting the Christ they have never heard of. ¥ The Missionary Review says that in 1786 Christians composed 20 per cent of the popu- lation of the world, and_in 1356 34 per cent, ‘The -increase of Protestants was 400 per cent; of Roman Catholics 175 per cent, and of the Greek church 103 per cent. The Prot- estants in 1886 were 137,000,000, the Ronian Catholics 205,000,000, and the Greek church 56,000,000, One of the officars of a church visited the choir during service. The leacing singer was engaged in reading his newspaper dur- ing sermon and prayers. When remon- strated with, he said his course was entirely proper. He was ready to sing when the time came, Meanwhile ‘it wis his privilege to enjoy himself as he pleased so he made no disturbauce, Rov. John Snyder of the Church of the Messiab, St. Louls, recently said in kis pul- pit: “I'donot believe that the language of Shakspeare will be replaced by any com- posite volapni which the ingenuity of man can ivent. And Ido not believe that the religion of Jesus Christ will be replaced by and spiritual volapuk formed of the frag- ments of other faiths.” Rev. M. M. Moore of Springfisid, Mo., bas issued a brief tract eatitied *Leat is for All Christians.” A late number of the Christian Union expresses the hope ‘‘that the time may not be fur distant when all tho churches of Christin America will join with their Liturgical brethren in keeping sucred to services of prayer, penitence, praise and instruction the veriod between Ash Wednes- day and Easter, The Late Bishop Lightfoot's will com- mences with the following striking wards, which embodied the motives whioh ruled his_career, 50 memorable in its nobleness and carcer: “With ever-increasing thank- fulness to Almight God for his many and great mercies vouched to me, hoping to die as I bave striven to live in the light of Cod's fathierly goodness as revealed tarough the cross of Christ.” After adelay of nearty five yoars, the committee of the Palestice exploration fund have received their firman graoting permis- sion to excavate ona site breviously ap- proved by the porte. It is understood that all objects (except duplicates) found in the courso of the excavations shall be forwardeid to tho museum ut Constantinople, but that the committee’s agenis shall havo the right of muking skotches, models, photographs, and copies of all such objects. Dr. Charles S. Robinson, tho able and suc- cossful hymnbook man, and Dr. Talmage, each announce a newspaper to be edited by himself, We wish them success, says the New York Independont. Dr. Robinson could give ail hus time, and his prolific type-writer, 1o the work, wiile Dr. Taimage will have to divide his time with his pulpit. Dr. Tal. mage adds the inducement that tho first hundred thousand subseriptions, at a doilar and a half, shall go to build his 'new taber- nacle.
