THE GREAT MISSION AT CRETE Interesting Church News Collected in the Various Flourishing Congregations of the City. In every religious denomination the all- important problem is, how to inspire new life and energy into the membership, and how to reach thoso who are without the pale of the churen and interest thein i spiritual things, As might be supposed, each denomination has its own peculiar methods of accomplish- ing this important work or attempting to accomplish it, at least. There was a time when some denominations did not believe in special efforts of this kind, but experience seems to have proven that the specialseasons of worship and supplication are invariably attended by good results, providing those who profess to be Christians cnter the work in the proper spirit. Dean Gardner of the Episcopal church, and dean of the Trinity cathedral, has had consid- erable experience in special sessions on “‘missions' of religious work, and has_met with marked success, both in New York state and in Nebrask The following outlin the method of conducting a *‘mission” will be interesting to e Shristian work This is wtended as an outline foram suitable for any country church, and shows that these special efforts may be conducted with as great a degree of successin thesmaller arishes as in the large v churches. The ollowing is the order of exercises adopted at the “mission” which Dean Gardner held week before last at Crete. Speaking of the mission the dean said: The misosin in Crete was so remarkable in many respects that it deserves special mention. First, the present rector is @ min of very enthusiastic methods and earnest de- votion. A year and a half of p stent ef- fort had brought the parish in Crete, as one of the wardens expressed it, ‘out of the graves into new life and power,) Then a year ago Mr. Brady conducted an octay Preaching services on consecutive evenings, arousing and sustaining an almost in religious vor. Sub Iy a very large o] mted for confirm and all of church work were occupied by bands ristian workers., When, therefore, I was remindedof my promise, made long ngo to conduct a mission at Crete, [ fi felt that a ‘mission’ was not needed. And certainly, for the purpose of merely arousing religious interest, 1t was not needed. But upon s ond thought, I determined to accept the op- portunity and to hoid the mission for the sec- ondary but no less important purpose of deepening the spiritual life. (he mons, addresses and instructions were planned with this object in view. The following scheme of services were carried out: Holy communion each morning a o'clock; morning prayer at 10:00 o'clock, with an instruction on ‘I'he Church of the Living God,’ its origin, structure, object and aim: its ministry, worship and sacramental teac and deseription of ion p.m. abrief service with an ad- dress, during the first half of the week, on sowe of the moral character ‘which fitted the Virgin Mary to be the mother of Christ, During the last days of the mission the sub. jects were domestic virtues, such as cheer- Tulness, quietness and confidence, sincerity Atthe ovening services the subjects treated were: “Jesus, the Author and Finisher of Our Faith 3 ‘Not Knowing the Things That long to Our Peace.) % % % iving with Meekne: 4 s the grafted ‘Repentanc The C© xion 3! ¢ and Keeping the Word ;' ‘Decision ;' cn the Heart's True Home at Last, “Sunday afternoon a meeting was held for men only, when the church was crowded. Ministers of all denominations were present. The address was on personal purity. “Wednesday morning an addressiwas made before the ficulty and students of Doane college. “Tle attendance throughout the mission wes excellent. Atthe night servicethe church was always filled, One nightall the standing room was utilized, and another nignt a great many people could not find admission, A very pleasant and profitable feature of the mission was the answering of questions, which were asked through a question box at the door. Among the questions asked wero ¢ following: *Why we bow at the name of Jesus - ‘Why the clergy of the church wear a distinctivedress;’ “I'ie real meaning of the word “hell” in the creed;’ ‘Why does the church fail to reach the masses# ‘Why is the Episcopal church so exclusive? ‘What posi- tion must a Christian take regarding amuse- mentsi' ete. “'An after meeting was held each evening, to which nearly the whole congregation re: mained. The subjects discussed were rever- en ver, holy communion, definitene: properuse of the pastoral relation. A pe' culiax adjunct of this as of all missions which Thayo conducted is a resolve card, made out in duplicate form, half of which is kept by the individual and the other half given to the tor, Suggestions are printed on the card and blank places ave left for special resolutions. “During the mission upwards of a hundred resolutions were thus made, I noticed fifteon resolutions on the part of young men and othersto abstain entirely from intoxicating drinks. “Many resolved to establish family prayers, others to read the bible each day,” othors to receive, with due preparation, tho' holy com. munion at least once amonth. Others to s: frace before each meal and many to seek for ustruction and holy baptism or confirmation, A feature of the mission which was not de- veloped as fully as it might have been was “requests for prayer.” But in view of what, under God's blessing, was accomplished the mission may be pronounced & _great success, It remaius for us to refer to the most re- markable servico of all the series, viz., the closing of the holy communion early Monday morning. The church on this particular morning was not sufficiently warm, so the ple assembledin the rectory of the church. y filled the parlor, library and study. The rector stated that 05 per cent of all tio available communicants of the parish were resent. All this in a parish whero they .bad never had an early coelebration before this mission. To have a correspondingly large attendance at holy communion in Omaba we should need to fill a vuilaing twice the size of the cathedral full of people, May God's blessing rvest upon priest and K«nm in the pleasant little parish of New Universalist Church. Another very commendable undertaki ngi church building is the handsome new edifice being erected by the Universalist deunomina- tion at the cornerof Twen! rst and Bristol streets, in Kountze Place, The muin auditc- rium occupies an area about 45x60 feet aud the lecture room and parlors adjoin ing at the back of the auditorium cover about 40x56 fect, The entrance is on the north and is sur- mounted by a handsome square tower, From the vestry a few steps ascend to the floor of the main auditorium and lecture room, and the same uumber descend into a spacious rcom which wiil eventually be used for concerts,sociables and Sunday school purposes. The basement will be supplied with a well furnished kitchen and toilet rooms. Conuevted with the concert room is a smaller room with a floor considerably above the fioor of the latter which can be used as a stage or platform for the comcert room. These nwnmenn will be ready for occu- pancy at the close of this week and the con- gregation will probably hold its first service there next Sunday. The up&)or part of the building will not be completed until spriug, but the work will be completed as rapidly as the weather will per- mit.

No improvement have beenso marked, so signally perfect in attainment, in the last fow yoars, as the numerous luxuries which have been introduced in transe tinental travel, Instead of harrowing recollections the tourist now has left to him when his journey is completed, a charming memory of perfect train ser- vice and palace dining cars,.

THEY CANNOT BE EXPELLED, Tudge Wakely Holds a Man May Belong to Two Unions. YOUNG BUT PROSPEROUS ORGANIZATIO! History of the Rise and Progress of the Teamster' Unfon and What it Hopes to Accomplish for Its Members. The decision handed down by Judge Wake- ley a few daysago inthe caseof Andrew Dow, Hugh Stockman, Thomas Ryan and other members of the Iuternational Brother- hood of Machinery Molders of North Araer- ica against James R. Young, presiden Thomas Bolan, secretary, and the other mem- bers of Iron Molders’ union No. 100 of Omaha is of more than usual interest not only to the labor organizations of this city, bu: of the country at large, On June 7, 1883, a convention of iron mold- ers was called to meet at Detroit, Mich., for the purpose of organizing a society to bring together the iron molders of the United States, After veing in session several days the body adopted a constitution and by-laws. This was the parent association, and as soon as the members returned to their homes they commenced the work of organizing branches in their respective towns. In a few montus the International brotherhood boasted of sev- eral thousand members, scattered about the country. all working for one object—the ox- tension of the union, Outof this society grew union No. 190 of Omaha, of which cs R, Young was clected president and Thomas Bolan sec This union, like most of the otners. wrapidly and soon had a membership of 100 men who were employed in the Union Pacific shops and the private foundries, A few months after this union got in working ordera number of its members joined tho National Brotherhood of Machine Molders of North Ameri an order formed for the purpose of 1 ning a fir scale of wages and fe iron molders in the social scale of life. From the start this organiza- tion was antagonized by the remaining mem- bers of umon 190 and other local unions. Notwithstanding this opposition all of the unions grew and to the public there was no sign of disruption until November 18, when a number of the memopers of the international brotlierhood joined in a petition asking Judge Wakeley to restrain local union 190 from ex- peiling them from its order. This brought out the fact that almost from the inception of the unions there had been o bit- ter fight, all brought about on account of the members of 190 having joined the national brotherhood. Charges * of partiality were made and it wasclaimed that on November 9 union 190 held a meeting at which the follow- ing resolution was adopted: Resolved, That all members of this union who have had cards in the brotherhood have until the next meeting to withdraw. There were any number of mem Ing caeds, and taking this for a motive of ex- pulsion they called a meeting and decided to for a restraining order (o prevent action would be taken on November 29. Ou November 15 the order was granted and tho case set for h ovember 23, At that time represen from both unions ap- peared before Judge Wakeley, who after lis- tening to the testimonv ordered the injunc- tion made permanent. This placed the mem- bers in the same relative standing as before the trouble occur The members who were to nave been expelled state that they have violated none of the provisions of either char- tersand were in perfect harmony, though they do claim that the oldand exclusive mem- bers of 1%, who are known as “Red Card” men, refused to work with them in many in- stances, and upon one occasion @ foréman told them they must quit work or leave the brotherhood. The point that has been set- tled by the injunction is whether or not a member of one union van become a member of auother, when the objects of the latter are not antagonistic to those of the former. Re- garding the by-iaws of the two factions, the important sections are the same, and' are as follows, with the exception of the names of the associations: Section 1. Any inolder having serv: ular apprenticeship of four years, and compe- teut to command & general average of wages, may be admitted to membership in this union by paying an initiation fee of &, and sub- seribing to the obligations required by the Iron Molders’ Union of North Aierica, Sec. 2.

No molder shall be eligible for mem- who has worked under the jurisdie- wiy other union (unless their consent ed) o who has not worked at molding cars, >, 6.

The corresponding secretary shall carry on all necessary correspondenco and answer all communications addressed to the union requirlmg an answer, and shall read for the union at each stuted meeting all correspondence relative to union affairs; he shall be allowed the average day’s wages while attending the conventions of the lron Molders Union of North America. Sec Expenses incurred by any officer of this union in the execution of his duty shall be paid on presentation of his bill at a stated meeting. Sec, 10, All oficers and committees when legally callcd upon, shall deliver up all books, papers, moneys, ete., belonging to this union, to their suceessors in ofiice or to any person or persons this union may designate. Sec. 11. It shall be the duty of the trustees to exercise & general supervision over the property of the union; they shall invest all money that the union may order, in a safe aud profitable manner, and deposit their vouchers with the treasurer: they shall call in all interest and all moneys accruing there- from into the union whenever reauested so to do by the union; they shall make a semi- annual report in the months of June and De- cember of each ye: also examine the books of the recording secretary, finaucial secre- tary and treasurer, and pérform such other duties as the union muwy requive of them, Article 8 provides as follows : Section 1. No member of the union shall work for a less price than shall bedetermined by the union; shoutd any member go to worl for a less price than that agreed upon by this union, it shall be the duty of each"and every member of this union to refuse to go to work in the shop while such journeyman is em- ployed at a reduced price, provided such action s sanctioned by the Interuatioual Moulders’ Union of North America. See, 3. No member or members shall strike upon or vacate their jobs in consequence of wages, or questions involving the rules of the union, or any other grievance without fivst laying the grievance before the union, who shall investigate the same at its first meeting, when a two-thirds vote shall decide what action members will be sustained in taking as aremedy, Should there be any othier course pursued, it will be at their own peril, and shall be of no binding effect upon this union or its members, Jobs so vacated shall be open to any member who shall ob- tain the terms required after investigation, Seo. 8. Should a member of any committee be discharged for performing his duty as committeeman 1t shall be the dutyof each and_every member of this union to refuse to work i such foundry until such member be remnstated, or acknowledged, or satisfaction rendered ; provided, such action s sanctioned klp_)' the Iron Moulders Uuion of North Amer- ca, Sec, 4. Should any member or members of this union be called upon to quit work in via- dication of their rights, as prescribed in the coustitution of the Iron Moulders Union of North Ammcnh and by-laws of this union, the Frcnlduur. shall appoint a committee o not less than three, to be styled a committee of relief, to whom all members on strike may apply for assistance. It shall be the duty of said committee to grant or withhold benefits at their discretion, but no nber shall re« celve more than &5 per weok from the funds of this unton, provided such 8trike is recog- nized by the iron Moulders Wuion of North America, .

Although organized less than six months ago, the Teamsters' assembly, No. 2236, Is one of the strongest in the ¢ity, and now boasts of o membership of nearly two hun- I‘dred owners of teams, Last spring, a few ownerd mot in a little room at South Sixteenth and Vinton streots to discuss the advisability of organizing an union. Some of thoso present favored tho plan, while others opposed it, arguing that teamsters would not stand by one another and thus nothiag would be accomplished, The leaders, W. J. Smith, A. Miller, H. O. Clark and A, B. Hammond were not discour- aged, but called another meeting at which time the organization was completed and chartered as & Knights of Labor assembly. As so0n as this was accomplished, the gen- tlemen who were instrumental in organizing the bly commenced to canvass for members and in a few weeks tho list was swelled to two hundred. Prior to this time, the meetings had been held in dray offices, barns and sheds, but with the magnificent membership, it was decided to sccure better quarters and Pythian hallat Fourteenth and Douglas was rented, where the meetings are now held each Saturday night. Many have supposed that the object of this association was to enforce patrons into py- ing exhorbitant prices for carting goods and merchandise from one part of the city to an- other, but this was a great mistake, Prior to this season, the city has been infested with hundreds of railroaders and other grad- ers, who, after finishing the season’s came to Omaha and going into the outskirts of the city pitched their tents and then went upon the' streets to compete with the resi- dent team-owners in the draying business The owners of teams i’ the city realized that this was takug the bread from the mouths_of their families and banded to- gether for protection. So well have they ac- complished their purvose that, whild as many as usual of these migratory teamsters are in the city, not one of them dares to ap- pear upon the streets toask for patrenage, owing toan ordinance that the ussembly has succeeded in working through the coundil. ce accomplishing what they undertook, theso hard-working teamsters of Omaha have turned their attention to other matters, They have gatliered togethera library of nearly two hundred ecarefully selected volumes, and cach Saturday night, after transacting the i business, hours are spent in reading and disoussing points of gen- cral interest, - THE CHRISTYMAS SILENCE, Margaret Deland in Ladies' Home Jowrnal.
