THE OMAHA DAILY BEEitMON WORK OF THE CHURCH TODAY. Rev. T. J. Mackay Talks S8ome Hard Sense to His New Parishioners, Modern Strife and Quibbling the Cause of Present Defection— How to Turn Back the Wanderers. Rev. T. J. Mackay, tho new rector of All Salnts, preached his first sermon to his new congrogation yesterday, and to say that it occasioned something of a_ stir would be put- ting it very mild indeed, The spacious edifice was well filled, among the congregation being many who had nover been thero bofors, as well as a number from St. Paul's chureh, Council Bluffs, which he has just loft. The roverend gentleman is very broad and liberal in his views, and proposes to make some radical changds in church matters. True, his comiug 18 revarded askanco Ly certain of the church people, but he has como fetermined to turn failure into success. sermon yesterday domonstrated his intent to strike out straignt from the shoulder at the start und vail his colors to the mast. His themo was ‘“Tho Trio Work of the Church,” and he spoko as follows, taking as his text St. John, v., 17: **My Father Work- sth Ritherto, and I Work.” “The bible from its first page to the last, laces the stamp of divine sympathy upon [abor. ‘Just s the croative {mpuisy was & partof tho character of God, so is labor Fecognizod by tho bible to bea partof the character of ideal humanity “Witnout labor can be no excellence roves wrue in every department of life, 'hero is no place in tho religion of Christi- anity for that mysticism which aims to at- tain unto s reposo which 1s thought to be symbolical of God, a sublime state of quio- tude which knows 110 intermittance. * My Father worketh hitherto and I work,' 1s the onunciation of a reat principle which underlies all life worthy the name. “Nothing in God's uuiverse is completely Bt rest; constant motion is necessary to all true lifo. The rest of heavon will be activity without weariness, good ever came without labor, Tn toll, or in‘sole art It must bo wrought out through the musoles, Born out of the soul. and the heart. As tho pyramid bullded of vapor Is blown by His whiriwinds to nought, 80 the song without truth is forzotten, His poem to man {s man’s thought. ‘Whatever is strong with a purpose, In humbleness woven, soul pure, Is known to the Master of singers. He toucneth it, saying “Endure.’” Religion That is Usefal. “What is true of ‘toil and science and art 1s equally true of religion. A religion which & man makes his own as casily as the putting on of & pair of gloves, will be of little use »ave as an’ ornamental appondago to his es- tablishment. It will do him no good in the day of adversity when tho ‘deop waters come In even unto his soul.’ Religion to be of any uso must_be ‘born out of the soul and the heart. May God give us more of this hoart roligion, and less of the made-to-order kind 80 provalent today. “To bo truly religious requires toil, toil of the body, the brain, and the heart. As our magnificont liturgy puts it, we as Christians ‘consccrato ourselves, our souls and bodie to God nand his service, * * % < by a sober, righteous aud Godly 1ife.’ “It'is a service, in which we are engaged. Not a service which can be satisfied with the mssembling of ourselves together once or twice a weck 1n tho worsbip of the sanct- uary, but a servico which we should render to God, at all times, and in all places, “Woare justas mach servants of God in the workshop, in the bauk, or in the field, as when we are in the church. The church building is our headquarters where we come to get fresh strength and inspiration for the toil of tho week, for the batties of lifo; for the conflict of tho soul with the vanities and doceits of a wicked world—a conflict in which all true men should over be engaged. “And justin proportion to the number of such faithful sorvants in any congregation, pr church, will be its influence and power in ihe community. Steafe Among Churchmen. “That the church of Christ has largely lost sight of this necessity for active work is painfully evident. During the past few weoks our nowspapors have boen filled with the accounts of church conventions of every pame--engaged in earnest consultation as to ow best to win souls for the Master! De- iberating on the vital issues of the day and considering what counsel they might offer in the endeavor to solve the social problems in which true hearts everywhero are elisted? How best to roach men with the gospol or consulting as to the failuce of the church to reach the peoploi Ob, no! None pf these objects camo in for considera- tion. These ohuroh councils of Godly men were carnestly engaged in expelling, and striving to punish meu who regarded truth more than expediency—in patching and cor- Fecting confessions “of faith—putting new cloth on old worn-out garments—oh, it is piti- full With the world’s probloms prassing for B solution, It is pitiful that the church of our God and Christ should be expending all its pnergies in the effort tosave the institu- tion—to make higher and strong- B the bars wh aro intended to save tho littlo flock from straying, and which serve moro effectually to keep out those who might desire to enter. “Even in this Catholic church, which to- day is the roomiest church in tbe world, an parnest effort is being made by men no donbt sincero in_their narrowness to exclude from the highest office in the church a man ad- mirably fitted, by his puro and spotless life, bis uoble, true heart and gencrous symp: thies, to be a shopherd of the flock—a man so perfect. that I know of 1o man moro worthy, were Jesus on earth today, of occupying tho place ouce held by the beloved disciple. Tackle Topics of Today. oo long has the church of Christ been dealing with dead issues and resting content with pointing out the road to heaven, dealing In futures, while the prosent with its noeds and necessities was clamoring for attention, *f am persuaded that Christ meant that His religion should have o practical bearing on the life that now is and that the church of Klis founding should be a poteut factor in all Ehe 15sues of our evory day existence. “Men aro tired of theological discussions that cannot profit, They aro wearied in look- lug for a salvation to como while the troubles of this life are pressing hard and sure upon thom. “The hope of a future havpiness after death @oes not wholly romove the sting from the sorrows of this life, whilo they feel that the #vils under which they groan can be iom- edied or alleviated by wise and proper moth- ods, T am convinced that the roal reason for he defoction of our working classes and our tical business men from the church of y is because the church has ceased to ba a working church. She is out of line with the advance of the moral, political and soctal movewents which havo for their object the uplifting of that humanity that Christ died to wave—that His church was estab. lished to protect—for if the mis- slon of the church of Christ be Bot the loosing of heavy burdens and bidding the opprossed go free, I know not why it should exist one woment longer upon earth, To be out of touch with the world is to bo out of tuch with humanity, and to be out of harmony with humanity isto be out of har- mony with Christ. “While the church of today is wrangling over phylacteries and fringes, negisoting the weightior matters of the law, the spirit of our Christ is marching on, and justice, mercy and truth negleoted in the temple, are hew- ing out new channels for their ouward course, leaving the churches high and dry la the old bods, wondering why the old time spix has doparted.

We must oxert ourselves to make men foel that their attendance npon these services helps them to bear the burden of life. To do this offectually we must do more —than merely ticklo their souses with fiue music and elaborate aremoninl and hign sounding phrases, o must appeal nct only to their heads but to their hearts. Our services, our musi¢, our ritual, our preaching mist partake of the character of true worship. Thoy must bo enthusiastic, glowing, fervent and briof. In this age of rapid thinking and rapid doing, we must not weary men by long servicos or lengthy ser- mons. We must strive to make men feel whon thoy have ontored those sacred walls that this {s indeed tho placo where thoy can Iay aside tho cares of daily lifo aud rost and rofrosh their weary souls, aed, when they depart to take up again the burdens of daily toil, lot it be vrith the feeling that thoy could onjoy evon more of such rofroshment, and that it was good for them to be here, Turning Toward the Future. “Acknowledging our indebtodness to the past, we set our faces toward the future. Not from the distant centurias that are past must we draw our inspiratior. and hope, but from the world around us today, the world of sclence, the world of art, the world of busi- ness, for these aro God's worlds, aud God yet lives and movos within them. “The church is divine, the church is truman, Like the fvy, while turning toward heaven for hor light and life, she must fing her tendrils into tho great citadel of hu- manity, and bo in touch with all the wondrous life that throbs within. “T entor on this work as your rector with foar and trembling, not knowing what the rosult may be, confident only of this one thing, that if this work be of God it must succeed.

Judge Love's Life Work Conoluded— History of an Honorable Career —sSpecalation as to His Successor, Dis Morxes, Ta.,, July 5.—|Special to T Bew|—The ropublican stato ticket nom- inated at Cedar Rapids last Wodnesday, and tho enthusiastic mannor In whioch it was dono, puts tho party in the best shape for victory it has boon in ten years. The plat- form, too, is all that can bo desired by tho great majority of Towa ropublicans, and will atiract many votes which have heretofore gono astray, especially on the temperance question, It leavos no doubt as to tho position of tho party on that much agiteted question, and moans that the party is willing to stand or fall on that paramount quostion this yoar. ‘The democratic party has got itself into trouble on its temperance (or anti-temper- ance) plank, from the fact that tho loaders aund leading papers of the party are now try- g to make it appear that the plank pub- lished by all the papers as the one adopted by the convention at Ottumwa, was not tho ono that was really adopted, inasmuch as tho local option feature on which the campaign was mado two years ago was dropped this year. All the faots and testimony, however, aro against the loaders in this respect and the attempt now to inject the local option featuro into the platforn looks like a deliber- ata political forgery. “The republican platform squarely oharges forgery upon the democratic party in this respeot, and tho fact will not be allowed to slumber during the campaign. 1t is said the republican candidate for governor, Hon, H. €. Wheeler, will not takd the stump th fall, but will do his work largely by cor- respondence direct with tho pdople and through tho republican state committes. Ho has a wide acquaintance throughout tho state and is porsonally informed as to the sit- uation in overy township, and will be able to do much for the party and ticket. The candidate for licutenant-governor, Hon. George W. Van Houten, has many clements of strongth. He is one of the chict culturists of the state, is a district or- and leader in the farmer's wco, is a soldler and the son of a soldier, and is well acquainted in_every por- tion of tha state. He will draw votes from many sources; will bo able to hold many votes which might otherwise have gone to tne peoplo’s party, and will probably lead the ticket iir the number of vote: Judge Weavor, the candidate for the su- preme bench, is also personally very popular, aud adds strength to the ticket. The prow- ©ss of Hon. Henry Sabin and Hon. Frank T. Campbell are too~ well known politically to create any uneasiness. FORFEITED RAILWAY LANDS, Tomorrow is the day set for the filing of applications for ontry to the forfeited rail- way lands in northwestern Iowa. Thero promises to be a great rush at the local land oftico here, as it is announced special trains will bo run from the vicinity of the lands to bring several hundred applicants who are anxious to improve this opportunity of secur- ing oheap homo in this desirable portion of one of the best states in the union. ‘Theso applicauts will inclnde many “squat- ters'" who have long sinco been evicted from what it known as the Milwaukes lands, the title to which has been long since practically sottled. The ovicted, however, still think they see a ray of hope for them and intend to take advantage of any possible opportunity for recovering their lands, Kor somo reason or other neither the Des Mornes land oftice nor the general land offico at Washington has been able to give the de- sired information regarding theso lands, and many intended applicants have made personal visits to the locality, when they have found that all lands subject to entry have long been occupied by squatters who have beon for the past seven or eight venrs more or_less successfully fightng the rail- road companies to maintain possession, Of course theso settlers on the lands or those who have been put off by the raiiroad com- panies will have the first right to make ontries. So thoso who come to the Des Moines land oftico tomorrow to filo application will generally be unable to do so. JUDGE LOVE'S DEATII. The death of Judgo J. M. Love of the federal court for the southern district of Tows, removes one of the oldest as well as one of the ablest of the minor faderal juagos. Politically he was a_democrat, and his death leaves a vacancy to be filled by republican appolntment. As yet there is no intimation a3 to who wilt be candidates, but thero will undoubtedly be no lack of good timber from which to select. Possibly some of the de- foated candidates for the ropublican nomina- tion for the lowa supromo bouch may got a chance. Judge Love was seventy-two years old, and could have long since retired. It was thought he would do so when Cloveland was presi- dent, in order that he might have a demo- cratic successor, but his health was good at that time, and hio preferred to remain. flo was born in Virginia March 4, 1519, but at three years of ago was taken with his mother's family to Zanesville, O. Whon old enough ho engaged in civil engincering four years, aftorwards studied law, and_was admitted’ to the bar in 1840, practicing till 145, ‘Thut year ho raised a company and served two years as captain in the Mexican war. In 1850 1o came to Keokuk, Ia., and bocame a leading member of the Lee county bar.

JULY ¢ 1891, Tale of Orime from Paris That Strongly Rosemblas Fiotion. MME, ESNAULT'S GREED AND ITS END. She Coveted Her Uncle's Proporty and Purchased His Assassination— Conviction of Horself and Her Accomplice. Panis, July 5.-The conviction of Mme. Esnault and Pierro Lopas at Paris for the Murdor of old Gooffroy, stamps as authentio one of thoso strango talos of Fronch criminal ifo that M. Zola is so fond of inventing, but which seam to ba not only only possible but prabablo, Tho Esvaults, wife and husband, kept & small liquor shop or “Debit do Vin" in tho Rue du Havre, not far from tho Rue d’ Amster- dam, in which is located a railway station or embarcadere, so well known to American travelers who journey to New York by the Feench live of stoamors, or go down to Nor mandy or Brittany, Dieppe or Boulogne, Thero is nothing to distinguish the Esuawits' place from other small shops of a similar kind that aro scatterod about tho capital, save that porhaps a largor number of cabbies may bo found loating over the zino counter or ocoupying the narrow bonches agaiust tho walls, which {3 due to the proximity of the ranks of cabs outside tho station tuat are constantly awaitiog travolers. Tho Esnaults lod a humdrum existenoo, and but for occasional visits to tha madam uncle, old Antoino Geoffroy, who owned a small property on the edge of the Bois do Vinceunes, thoy scarcoly ever loft homs. It was this same unclo who formed the chiof object of Mme. Esnaults' contomplation. Ho was an old widowor and childloss. His some- what valuable market gardon ho cultivated by tho aid of several hired men. Ho was, however, aavancod in years, and really unfit- ted for the cara of evon so small a holding. Mme. Esnault becamo dialv moro and more convineod of this fact and did not cease urging ber uncle to sell until the old man consented and the Esnaults became the purchasers for about £,000. Thoy not.only took over tho farm, but they retained possession of the purchase monsy, having convinced poor Uncle Geoffroy that ho was entirely too foe- blo to undertake tho investment of even so moderate-sized a_capital. Having thus ob- tained control of the old man, but little more pursuasion was needed to prove to him that £150 was about the proper amount of interest, that ho_shoul receive annually for his £3,000, and on this pittance the poor'old man man- aged to keep soul and body together. But no sooner had the [snaults perpetrated this act of generosity than Mme. Esnault began to experience poignant qualms of regrot. Hav- ing once got the §3,000 in her possession, she began to consider herself its rightful owner, forgetting that, although she was the heir, the death of her uncle must first occur before she could legally claim it as her own. Al- ready feelng, however, all the responsibility of ownership, she could not but regard as a nuisance the being compelled to pay the yearly pension that had been agreed upon, although tho profits of the market garden far moro than ecxceeded the amount of the outlay, It was early in the spring of 1858 that Mme. Esnault came to the conciusion that the payment of the pension was an in- toierable hurden, not to bo patiently borne, and that it must'be in some way got rid of. Sho was too clever a woman, howover, to imagine that_ her uaclo could summarily bo doprived of his omly source of income, and realized that to accomplish her wish the poor, old man must be done to death. From evidonce given on the trial it appears that Mme. Esnault_(her husband seams to have boen a nonentity) went about for three years searching for an instrument vile enough to carry out her flendish design. Among the frequenters of her husband’s wine cellars was Pierre Lopas, a hanger-on at a third class tripot or gambling den. Mme. Esnault soon decided that Pierre was her man and began to lay plans to carry out her long- cherished plot. It was a cool evening in March last when the heart- less woman and her bired assassin reached the little cottaco on the edge of the Bois, where they found oid_Autoine crouch- ing over a smouldering fire. “I'm cold,” whined Geoffroy, in answer to their saluta- tion. “We'll soon warm you up, unclo,” said Mmo. Esuault, as she throw a big log on the fire. In the meantime Pierre had zone out- side to find o weapon for the dreadful deed. Returning with a club, the brains of tho agad man were soon _scattered about the room. Not coatent with this, Pierro scized a sickle hanging on the awall and with it gavo the coup de grace. The body was then thrown on the fire and biirned, the finding of the bloody sickle alone romaining as evidence of tha crime. In accordance with the extraordinary practice of Fronch juries, the verdict of mur- dor against both the man and woman was mitigated oy the Ainding of “‘extenuating cir- cumstances." ——— FUNERAL AS HE WISHED. Uncle Jared Wharton Was Ecce But Thoy Buried Him ScraNTON, Pa., July 5.—Unclo Jared Whar- ton, an eccentric character of Forks town- ship, died last woels, at the ago of ninoty-one years, Ho hated music, and he staid in Cchurch only while tho sermon was being preached, because, he said, the singing irri- tated him, Several years ago the congregu- tion bought an organ, and after that ho never entered the church. ‘Tho old man had been toothless for forty odd years, ana whonever his friends urged him to buy some artificial teeth for himsolf he declared that tho Lord would cause natural teeth to grow In his mouth beforo ho died. In the summer time Uncle Jared went about his place barefooted. When it rainod ho vis- ited nis neighbors, and as ho plodded along tho muddy road from house to house he had his trousers rolled to_his knees and an old cotton umbrolla over his hoad. Ho seidom wore & hav in hot weathor, and bis whito hair was strong andtnick when he died. Many years ago the old man made a coftin for hini- Self out of two-inch white oak planks, ‘I'he handles were made of horseshoes that had heen worn by a mare of which ho was vory fond. The gentlo boast was killed by a stroko of lightning and the old man buried hor under a treo where she had fallon, He desired to have her shoes buriad with him, and so he nailed them to his heavy coffin, A few months ago Mr. Wharton lined his coftin with fox skins, the sly animals from which they came having been shot by him- self. Heoften expressod a wish that a bear- skin robe belonging to him should be placed undor his hoad in tho rough ok box, und that his own sons should act us bearers. Some of the old man’s rolatives advised the Sous to got . dec flin, but their advice was not taken. wish of the aged dead man was carried out to the letter, and ona beautiful afternoon lnst week the ec- centric nonogenarian was laid to rest in his DELICIOUS Flavoring Extracts NATURAL FRUIT FLAVORS.
