Tho lastis the result of LE6 two first. T'he effect following the ad- | cauate cause, “Where there is u will there Is & maxim universaily quoted often lightly used, but of stirhng truth and value. Thove are limits to human capabi Ues, but theso limits are seldom if ever reuched. Mcn have attained heights, but, there are stll some cold peaks far up above the storms the foot of man has never trod. Men tunnelled mountains, but there are some solid granite pillars standing as props aguinst the sky whose bases have never been cleaved by pick and powder. They have rivers Lo their sources and navigated seus and ocoans, but there are rivers yet to be traced and seas to be fathomed. Thoy have girdled the sun, named thestars and constollated the heavens, but there are suns yet o be girdied and stars to be nawed, They huve discovered great truths in the realm of spirit aud soul, remuins to be brought to ligh Luman progress and succes Nehemiak smd, “I will repair Jerusalein. He was then a captive in a foreign land, but he begau the work. He visited the city of his hers and found it a of ruins. heap By night he rode over its battered gatos, ruined homes and broken down walls. as the moon beams struggled thro' ciouds aud cast their ghostly shado him, 1o doubt his heart but he said: “The G per us; therefore, And floating s about grew sick and faint, d of hoaven will pros we, His servants, will arise and build.” Ko shortly afterwards he sald: “So we built the wall and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof, and ne ason for such_success “For the peovle had & mind to work," The bible has many examples showing the power of human resolution, David said *I Wwill," and in the name of Giod slew the enemy of Israel. The prodizal,afterspending his part of th estato and weighing his life and pros- peets, s S will arise and go to my fath- er's louse,” and thus ho began a new lifo, Paul, when besought by his brethren not to £0 0 Jerusalem, answered: “What mean vo 10 weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready ot to be found only, but aiso to dic at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus,” Aud Chri y the chiefest d noblest exam- plo on record said: “I am come todo the will of My Father and your Father.” And on 1o occasion did he ret or retract. One changeless purpose is seen in his life from the duel in the wilderness to the momentous trag. edy which culminated in_tho horrovs of Cal vary. A glance at secular history reveals wonders which have been accomplished by men acting under the impulse of the will. Skill and genius have done much, but giant determination and an_exbaustless patience have achieved more. What there that a glrm faith and a high olution cannot ac- complish? Before it mountains have been moved into seas, and obstacles that lifted their threatening “shaggy cliffs and frowned »bitter deflance, have been overcome and even turned into instruments of success, Men do not succeed because their heart is not in their work. Give me the man whois possessed by his work, dreams about it night and works with all of his might by duay, and I'will insure him success. Now what is the benefit to bo derived from these examples of courage! What inforence do we draw! How can they helpus! Lot us sce, I 'would apply them to the Christian worke: The Christian life is a life, not a thought or creed, but a life of work. The churchis no place for drones and idlers. It is not a state of heavenly rest. Its work is & conauest. The same force a Christian throws into his business ho shoutd throw into his rehigious life. Christian zealis God energizing through human agents; so the same zeal which ani. mates a man in his daily labor should char- acterize his Christian work. The end in view in secular life is different from that in church life. To the one thousands of Chris- tians go with a burning enthusiam, to tho other thoy go like dumb sheep and cattlo to the slaughter. Many are giving their days to temporal affairs, their frag- ments to the service of God; their sands to mammon, their pennies’ to the @ of man's redemption, The will in the pluce is directed to temporal matte the second to oternal and spivitual in. terests. The one is for the body, the other for the soul; the one for vestment, the other for character; the one goes out like the flick- ering rays of 'a dying taper, the other may beam like the full-orbed sun. The one is like the mist of the morning, one puff wafts it away, and it is gone forever; the other, hike tho holy incense from the sacred altar, arises to the skies ana bears its sweot perfume above, Tho fruits of tho one will crumble juto ashes in the cruciole of death, while the fruits of the other will hang golden ripe on the tree of life, The Christian sphere is ono of great dimonsions. The place. you occupy in this sphore, my reader, depends largely o your choicé, The place the church holds in the thought and lifo of this country and this eity depends on the Chris tiau zeal, spirit and efforts of its members. 1s the spirit of self-sacrifice strong enough to enthuse society! Is there a marked readi- ness to make denlals for the sake of ouzLord ¢ ‘What is the characterizing element in our chureh lifo! Where does the Christ-likeness come int Why can it be said the chureh has lost its hold on the people! Is it not because the church has in a measure lost its master? HIf the salt have lost his Savior, it is thence- forth good for notbing but to bo cast out and to be trodden under foot of men.” If tho church has lost its Christ-spirit it has noth- ing in it to draw the wa If the light has gone out how can men find it? It was the Cumst ‘lifted up” that was to draw all ren. Is he lifted up! Pause and examine, readers, and see how it is with yourself, Now is the time for Christian work. Crystalization is now taking place. Shall the thought and 1ife be moulded for Chri: Not uless there is the spirit of Christ, God ©energizing in the very lives of his people. Let every man of us bé at his best. Let there pass along tho live today, as passed along the i‘llu:hall line of battlo at Waterloo in that critical moment when the great interests of wtmost all Europe trembled in the scale and the recording angel was about to make a record of the day, “File up! file up! We want to move in solid battalions, not as single spies. And overy Christian soldier iv this greater thun Waterloo, needs to press to the frout. Paul says: “I press to the mark." Are wo pressing! " And agaln, are wo pre: ing toward the mark! Are we charged with the spirit of Christi 1f so, preach Him with a godly life, by a noblo chavacter and a burn- ing enthusiasm for the salvation of souls. Allow nothing to come betweon us and our sacred duty to the great cause we advocate, Then (iod will bless us with an outpouring of His t, and many souls will be converted to Him and become fellow laborers with us in His vineyard. Lutheran Mission: enting The biennial convention of the Woman's Foreign and Home Missionary soclety of the general synod of the Lutheran chureh, will meeot here in May, 1503, as the guosts of the Kountze Memorial Lutheran cburch, They have Just been in session in Canton, O., with 250 delegates present, representing congrega- tious from all quarters of the northern states from New York to Sau Francisco.

Sevoral cities extended their bospitality to the couvention fn 1863, but the invitation Trom the I{ountze Memorial of this city was almost unanmmously accepted. This will bring a large delegation of the women and clergymen of this teading denomination to qur city and its celebrated nospitahity. Pastors Their People. Rev. W. R.

Crane will preach the sermou. The lecture by Bishop Newman last Tues- day evening at the First Methodist church under the auspices of the Young Paople's Society of Curistian Endeayor was a great success in every respect and cleared a snug sum for the young people’s fund. John M. Hazelton, secretary of the Young Men’s Christian association, and several nllmrfcnllnm\n have formed a stock com- pany for the purpose of publishing the Young Men's Journal. The capital stock is placed at $10,000, in shares of §25 each, and the place of publication is Omaha. The standing _eommittee of the Nebraska diocese of the Episcopa Ichurch voted upon the question of approving the appointment and consecration of Dr. Phillips Brooks at bishop of Massachusetts at a meeting lass Friday evening and telegraphed the ap- vroval of the consecration.

T'he fact that prominent pastors from other denominations have been asked o till the pulpit during the week has created a fraternal feeling of goodfellowship among the people of the different churches and made them to feel that the prosperity of one church means help and cncouragement for ail Christian denominations in the city. The clinrch people of Omaha are displaying a very commendable spirit of brotherly love in theso matters. Rev. W. Salter and wife of Burlington, Ia., have been visiting with their trietas, M. and Mrs. James Morton, 1710 Chicago street, for the last day or two, It has been several years sinco Dr, Salter hos been in Omaha,ana ho was surprised at the wonderful growth of the city. Ho visited Tne Ber building ana the Now York Life, looked ut the new city ball, He called on Rev. willard Scott and Dr. Duryea, and was much pleased with an extensive drive about the city. On Thursday, they left for Sioux City where they went to attend the anunual association of the Co - gational churches of Iowa. Dr. Salter been the pastor of the Congregational church of Burlington for over forty-five years, He bas in the meantime done considerable liter- ary work, and has more in hand which he hopes to complete, and in order to. do so he would like to retire from his pastorate. But he has so endeared himself to his large con- gregation by his loving kindness and marked ability as a"preacher, that his congregation does not like to let him retire, but want him to remain the head of his church as long as he lives, and they hope he will consent to do so. —_———— EDUCA (IONAL, Mrs. Leland Stanford givos 30,000 a year toward the support of the twenty-five kindergartens of California.

The latest evidence of the advance of the shopping-woman is the revelation which has come from New York that she 1s resorting to the persuasive artifice of feeing the shop-girl as u means of inducing the latter to wait upon berat oncoor to put her in the way of bargains, In calling on a married lady, a wife should take one of her own cards and two of her husband’s cards: her own and one of her husband’s in caling on a widow; her own only in calling on a singie lady.

THE PEOPLE WHO ANUSE US, Opening Attraction for-tho New Boyd Opera Hopse, eyt WHAT THE THE\TERS' OFFER THIS WEEK. o Theodore Thomas and His Unrivalled Orchestra at l,l”' Coliseum ~The Coming Production of “The Limited Mail" While it is yet too early to state definitely what company will be accorded the privilege of dedicating Boyd's new theater to the mases, Manager Boyd has undor serious con- sidoration a proposition made him by that veteran amusement caterer, Augustus Pitou, who purposes having next season the strong- est stock company in the country. It was Mr. Pitow’s intention of launching his new company at the new Fifth avenue theater in New York, but as the house will not be completed until a month after tho date set for the opening, the manager has been compelled to look elsewhere for dates until the house is ready for occupancy, when the company will occupy it for the season, Three new plays will bo given a he “A Modern Mateh,” by Clydo Fiteh of “Beau Brummel ;" “‘Her Release,” by aathor of “Wig and Gown," which {s having an unprecedented run in London, and A Loving Legacy,” by a playwright famous on both sides of the pond. The company which Mr. signed, and " whish he aspires to make ‘the leading dramatio organization of the country, embraces many well people, several old favorites in Omaha, while anumber have not been heard west of Chi- cago, Miss Minnie Seligman, the leading lady, holds an enviablo position in the dramatic profession, and her work in the “Power of the Press,” “Mr. Potter of Texas,” *“The Suspoct,” “Money Mad,” “Midsummer Nights Dream,” in all of which she played the leads in New York city and elsowliore stamped her an actress of distinguished power and versatibity. Pitou has Miss Adelaide Stanbope, formerly starred in “Gwynoe's Oath’ ' and will play soconds ~ to Miss Seligman. Miss Ida Vernon will be the “old lady" of the company and was for many years the leading old ‘woman of the Union squaro theater. Grace Henderson, formerly with Frohman's New York city company, Jane Stuart, at pres- ent with W. "H. Crane’ in *“T'he Senator," Vida Croly, daughter of Jennie Juve, who has been with Frohman and Palmer and lately with Mr. Willard, the English actor, Franices Drake, with the same organization, have all been engaged for this new enterprise. The male members of the company will in- clude Nelson Wheateroft as leading man, W, H. Thompson as the character actor who has made a hut in everything he ever piayed; William Faversham, leading juvenile: J. W. Shannon, long with James O'Neil, will bo the old man of the company; George Leslie, sec- ond juvenil (eorge Bachus, late with “Aunt Jack,” light comedian: (. H. Leonard, Frederick Perry, A., W. Palmer complete what is destinéd ta be a very powerful dramatic organization. And it is this compagy that is quite likely to open Boyd's theater August 31. William . nore’s spectacle, “The Twelve Temptations,”™ which 1s just closing the third season of its-prosperity,and the first of its *'second edition,’ will open a season of three nights at the Boyd this evening. Dur- ing the whole of last summer Manager Charles Yale was engdgod in arranging soine of the most marvelous seenic and mechanical offects ever devised aftft successfully carried out, while the ballets' to be given, of which there are six, will serve to introduce for the first time in Americawm ballet corps of forty dancers from the Rbval Alhamora palac London, England. The specialties, which wero purposely engaged by Manager Yalo, will acquaint us witivsa series of novelties which will not_only be uuique, but cleverly interesting. The costumies which are from platos destznod by Silver & Maxwell, ropre- sent nearly some thirty-threo creations made upof the best materials. The scenery, of which there is more than ever carried by a similar organizatton, takes two specially built cars to convey it, and is the work of Huen L. Reid, Homer Emeus, Charles S. Getz and Harley Merry, a quartette of artists whose reputations are national. Commencing on Thursday night and con- tinuing for three nights and Saturday mati- ree, Manager Boyd will present the greatest success both financial and artistic of the sea- son just passed, in the shape of Elmer E. Vance's realistic railroad comedy-drama, *‘T'he Lamitea Mail.” This great attraction, wrtten by a tele- graph operator of Columbus, O., and which, by the way, is his first attempt at dramatic work, was produced at -Columbus, August and at ouce leaped into popularity, every city in the east being visited and in every in- stance doing the largest business of the sea- son. At the Boston theater, Boston, the largest theater in America, with the single excep- tion of the Auditoriuim, Chicago, the compan played a four woeks' engagement, the r. ceipts aggregating 44,800, an average of over $11,000 per week, The play is said to be strikingly original in all its features, evarything being new to the stage. Among the many funovations in stage craft is a vestibuled train of Pultman_cars, with locomotive, tender, baggage, mail and pas- senger coactes, 200 feet long ana 12 foct high, which crosses the stage In six seconds, a realistic and exciting wrecking scone, wheu acar is totally wrecked while in rapid mo- tion, a blood-curdling saw mill scene —a full saw mill in cownplete operation—sawing out ties and bridge timber, where the heroine is bound to the carriige, but happily rescued justin time to be saved from the wicked- looking buzz us it eats its way through a huge log.

Since their visit to Omaha in early Docember tney have beon all through the south Atlantic states, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. The club and its splendid singer, Miss Barn- ard have received eulogistic notices from the press wherever they appeared. When we consider that this is the forty-socond year of the club's organization, and the universal cry is for novelty, novelty, we can but infor that there are elements of fneness in this club Wwhich command that porennial success it en oy Doubtless so long as Mr. Thomas Ryan Is its director the fine elements will be found. Musical and Miss L. Cook, a very promising pupil of Mrs, J. W. Cotton, who has taken a very prominent part in’' that capablo teachor's re- citals the past season, and who excited much favorable comment 'by the beauty of her voice and casy, natural style of singing, is in great luck. " A wealthy friend of ber fam- ily, noting the rapid_improvement she has been making under Mrs. Cotton’s direction, and belioving that with her voice she has i great future before her, has offered to give the young lady a complote musical education, sending her first to Mrs. Thurber's schiool of training in New York and afterward to Kurope. Not many young ladies rece such a chance, and it is needless to say t Miss Cook did not hesitate long before accepting the very generous offer of ber friend. The wonderful development of this young lady’s voice is more than re- markable. When she first commenced tak- ing lessons about three years ago from Mrs. Cotton she gave little promise, but she has gone far ahead and oven now would make a creditable showiug on any concert stago, Goul's historical cantata “Joan of Ave'will be givenin the First Methodist church Thursday ovening next. ‘I'he soloists will bo Mrs. Torrens, wife of the director of the Apollo club, Mr. T.

Manager Blakeley of the Theodore Thomas orchestra has a big scheme on foot which 1 it turns our weil, Wl bring him fame and fortune. Tt is no other than a ladies’ orches- tra with Carreno as conductor and Maud Powell first violin I has already startod the ball rolling by going to Furope to secure Carreno's servicos and applications are pouring in from women all over the coun- try for positions in the orchestra, but strange s 1t muy seem the greater part of the appli- cations are for wind instruments instead of strings, as one would naturally suppose. Blakeley is original if nothing elsé, but there soems excellent veason for believing that such an organization wouid be immensely popular, Sometime ago Tk Ber announced that Miss 1da Solice of the John Dillon company would star in_the new southern war drama next season. This, the lady informs us, is a ake. Shesays: I will not be ready with my new play until the season of 152-6:, I will remain “in’ New York all next season My time will be occupied in designing scenery, costumes, et 1 will open my sea- son in St. Augustine, Fla.’” John Dillon closes his season May 89, Business throughout the far west has been good.
