A e e e THE OMAHA DAILY N0 DUDEPREACHERS WANTED, Nebraska Prosbyterians Partial to Men Educated in the Great West. BUSINESS MEETING OF THE STATE SYNOD. Important Gathering of the State's Prosbyterian Ministers and Lay- men—Work of the Woman's Missionary Society, The first business session of the eighteenth fnnual meeting of the Nebraska synod of the Prosbyterian church was held at the West- minister church yesterday morning and the attendance showed that not only the ministers of this important religious organization, but alss tho olders and promineat laymen wero deeply interested in the meeting. The church was well filied aad at 9:80 Rev. 3. H. Curtis of Lincoln led in the devotional exercises which !asted half an hour. Rev. W. R. Henderson, the moder- ator, then called the session to order for 'business and reports from the com mittees on education and church erection In the prosbyteries of Kearney, Nes braska City, Omaha and Niobrara, Rov. J. M. Wilson delivered a brief but very effective speoch upon the needs of high- er Christian education. One of the leading addresses of the morn- ing was by Rev. J. T. Gibson, treasurer of the Freedman’s board. The speaker outlined the work of the P’resbyterian church in the south among the colored people. The church, he said, had about 25,000 colored members, with about 12,000 pupils in tho Sunday schools. The board has about 00,000 worth of property in churches and schools in the south. ere are abou 3 schools and sem inaries supported by the Presbyterian church for tho paneliu of the colored people of tho south, Iev. Gibson was very earnest in preser.t- ing the work. He said: “We have learned that the colored man Ls simply our brother. He is black, ut all bis needs, physical, intellectual, and soiritual aro_just the same as those of the white race. The religious wants of the Negro are just the same as the wants of tho white race, We have the gospel aud thoy need it. Ho smid that, the parochial schools w not intended asa substitute for the publ schools, but to supplement the work dono ' by the latter and supply religlous ~ and moral training for @ neglected and ignorant race. Young Men's Zeal. Rev. Bdward C. Ray, D. D., of Kansas, cretary of the board of aid for schools, ademios and colleges, was then introduced. zln spoke half an hour very eloquently. He aid that ho had often been pained to see tho persoual sacrifices that youug men were compelled to make in order to secure an edu- cation and he had wished maoy 8 timo that the board of which he was secretary could have vreached out a helping hand to individual cases, but the work of the board was not to_assist individuals directly but to assist the schools and in that way assist the {odividual. The speaker said that the church neeaed 3,000 ministers to fll vacant pulpits. =~ ““Theneed of the church,” said the speaker, “is more ministerial timber. ‘I'here is plenty of work to do but we need material out of which to make good and able men.” Speaking then of eastern schools, Dr. Ray snid that young men who went onst to attend theological schools were very apt to stay there. *We must educate our ministers at home,” said the speaker. He then described some of the dude preachers that had been turned out by eastern schools. Ho said they were not ali of that class by any means, but those who were had no business to come west. He said the young men who gradu- ated from western schools usually had prac- tical views of life and of the work of the ministry. They didn't smoke cigarettes or twirl a cave. They didn't lead one member of the family down the street by a collar and littlo chain, as some of the so-valled clergy- men of New York were in the habit of dong. Ho urged the brethren to rally around tho two Presbyterian colleges of Nebraska, at Bellevuo and Hastings and make them grandly successful, Tho Synod then adjourned to permit tho various presbyteries to hold special meetings, after which the brethren all ropaired to tho First Presbyterian church to tuke lunch with the laaies of the missionary socioty. Some Committee Reports. Rev. W. 1. Kimball acted as moderator for about two hours during the afternoon session. The committees did not complete their work and get veady to report until nearly 3 o'clock, so those not enwaged in committce work simply sat and waited. The first committee to report was the com- mittee on the minutes of the general assombly, The report called attontion to the fact that tho duy of prayer for colleges had been set for the last Thursday in January, and prayer for the better observance of the Sabvath was set for the first Sunday in April. The action of the general assembly in recognizing the Omaha_ Tucological seminary was heartily approved by the committee. “The committee on publication and Sunday school work deprecated tho fact that thero socms to be a falling off in the number of babes and Sunday school children baptized. The committes thought that Presbyterian families were eithor raising fower babies than in former yoears or else they had become neg- ligent of their duty with regard to baptism. T'he Sunday schools, in the main, had made good progress, but a large number of the chos had neglected to send in reports of Sunday schools. ‘The committeo on the records of the Hast- ings presbytory reported and the report was adopted. ‘I'he roport of the committee on the record of the KKoarney presbytery was read and adoptod. Tho clerk of the Nebraska City prosbytery, Rev. Mr. Chestnut, (notan old chestnut, by the way) presented a request that the rec- ords of the presbytery he represented bo passed until next year. The request was granted. ‘I'ho committee upon the records of the Omaha and the Niobrara presbyteries ro- ported that those records had been found all right. The reports were adopted. Inaugural Exercises. The inaugural exercises for the faculty of the Presbyterian Theological seminary at Omana were then observed. Dr. Bailéy of Cedar Rapids, Ia., was asked to preside dur- ing tho exercises.” Dr. W. W. Harsha, Dr. Stephen Phelps and Dr. John Gordon were the professors who deliverea inaugural ad- dresses. After the audience had sung a hymn Rev. E. C. Ray, D. D, of Kausas read a'scripture lesson and offored prayar. Dr. W. W. Harsha, professor of didactic and polemic theology, then delivered an able addre: Dr. Harsha said it was not sur- prising that questions and doubts arose con- stantly in tho minds of men because it was in the nature of man to question. But he held that through all the questioning of the past the solid foundazious of the sacred word had not been shaken. Inerrancy of the Book, Dr. Harsha said that the somewhat opular theory that tie bible containea jod's will ‘but that it was not all inspired was dangerous and untenable, Some of these people who wish to chop the Dible up into inspired and uninspired parts would make Moses and the other authors out plagiarists, He said that the moment that the authenticity of the bible Lecame ques- tionable with him, that moment the k would lose its authority in bis estimation. The book was the word of God, hence bis be- Lief in its authority, The speaker the took up a number of the most famous skoptics of the past, who have attempted to tesr down the authority of the sacred word by sbowing the al- loged errors and inaccuracies of the bible. He showed that theso men snd their work had nearly ali drifted into oblivion while the belief and confidence in the divine origin and authority of the scriptures had grown stronger and more uni- wersal with the Hight of ages, ‘Fhe address was heartily applauded. Then Kov. Stephen Phelps, D. D)., professor of eclesiastical bomiletics and pastoral the- ology, delivered his inaugural address. Lr. Phelps bogan by saying that he would call the atteation of his auditors to three di- visions of the subject, viz., the polity, preach- fog and the pastoral work of the Presbyte rian chureh Polity of the Church. He said thut the polity of the church haa an anclont and honorable origin. Peter had been called an elder ana the origin of the presbytery could be traced back to the early Christians, He oxplained the plan of organ ization and showed how the churen had been made grandly effective by its splendid put simple and straightforward plan of adjusting the duties ana responsibilities of the mem- bors and pastors. The churen, the speaker said, was aliving body, of which Christ was the living head. The 'position of a preacher was consid- ered the very highest position on earth, The r of the preacher was something worderful where it was thoroughly conso- cratod to God, In closing Dr. Phelps epoke earnestly of the importance of pastoral work among the membors of the church. An ideal pastor, the speaker held, thould be a glowing beam of comfort and blessedness to all with whom he camse in contact. Church History. Reyv. John Gordon, D.D., professor of eclesiastical and biblical history, then said he would ask his hearers to consider church history as a record of the way that God bad beon leading the world out of darkness into light. He gave a briof roview of the strugglos through which the Christian church bad gone from the day when iomo attempted to stamp Christianity out of _existence down to modern times, He hela that God had led the people to see that the family, the church and the stato should dwell together in harmony as a glorious trinity of elements of perfectly organized and truly enlightened society. He believed that al theological strife would eventually end in harmony and RRev. 8. Alexander of Des Moines and Rev. John oo of the North Nebraska Mothodist conference were present and were granted the courtesios of the Hoor as correspe members of the synod The afternoon session then closed. Measure of the nd. Westminster Presbyterian church was crowded to its utmost capacity last night by a caltured and intellicent audience anxious ear the address of David R. Breed, D.D., of Chicago, before the Nebraska synod upon the subjoct of religious and intellectual training as contomplated in the establish- ment of the Omaha Theological seminary. Dr. Breed stated in his opening address that ne was a memoer of the board of man- agers of the McCormack seminary and pastor of the church where the faculty attended divine worship. He was gratified, he said, with the lnvitation which had veen extended him to take part in the ceremonies of this auspicious occasion. He took it as an ex- pression of friendship ~on the part of the friends of these two seminaries, He was glad to say that the friends, trustec and faculty of McCormack semiaary wero united in wishing the new seminary at Omaha success from the very begiuning. Thoy be lieved that it would be a success. Then, turning to the subject of his ad- dress, Dr. Breed sald ho would ask the audi- ence to follow him a little while as he talked about “Mind at Its Best,” *If a man’s moral sense is blunted,’” said the speaker, “‘all his better nature is blunted. Mind to be at its best must be attuned toa reverential recognition of Almighty God. Literature of the period 1s attempting to be intellectual and skilltul only. A book of on or a play may reck with moral rotten- ness but if1t bea clover representation of nature, peoplo profess to see great merit ia it.” He thought thisa very low standard of merit. ind had to be under the sway of some- thing higher and purer than the plaudits of success to reach the greatest good. Mind to beat its best must notonly be disciplined but must be consecrated. Theological train ing, ho said, was the very crowning cap of an education. 1t preparca a man for the most important and sacred calling that ne could possibly enter. This was the final course that fittea the mind to set out in life at its best. ;i The speaker therefore congratulated the citizens of Omaha upoa tne fact that a theo- logical seminary had been established in this city. He congratulated Dr. George L. Mil ler upon his generosity and wisdom in do- nating twenty-five acres of land to the semi- nary. “Aud noyw lot mo say in_closing,” said the eloquent divine, “zo on. We of McCormack seminary bid you Godspeed and we expect to see you prosper in usefulness and good works," They Took the Pledge. Then turniug to the professors, Drs, Harsha, Pnelps and Gordon, the speaker delivered a solemn charge, in ' which ho ex- horted them to teach the truth of God with all prayerfulness and to stand together as ono man in the fear of the Lord that the ro- sults of their teaching might be *Mind at its best,” Dr. Headerson, the moderator, then asied the threo professors to read the pledgo required of those entering upon the im- portant work of a teachor ina theolog semivary and to afterward sign tbo sam Rev. W. W. Harsha, D.D., Rev. St Phelps, D.D., and Rev. John' Gordon, D.D., each read aloud and sigued the pledgo’ in the order named. Dr. Mitchell prayer. then offered the closing Today's Work. Tho usual prayer meeting will be held at 9 o'clock this morning. The synod will adjourn at 11 o'clock to go down to Bellevue. Inthe afternoon and evening the synod will devote the time to the work of home and foreign missions. Rev. Dr. Hayes and_Rov. Dr. Mitchell will address the meetifig in the evening at § o'clock.

This was duly presented and_was at ouce followed by another motion to allow the Omaha society to withdraw from the presbytery to the extent of expending its own money s it pleased. The debato on this double-barreled question was rather leugthy and grow very earnest, it being held by the oppouent of the schemo that the carrying of such a motion meant death to the state society which would thereby be deprived of its usefulness and of its only means of carryiug out the purpose of its oxistence. Both propositions were finally defeated ana the following disposition of funds made, Foreign fund, $500 for the support of Miss Doty at Seoul, Corea; balance of $H0 to bo placed in the general fund; home fund, $500 t0 Alaska, £00 to i'recdman’s board, $150 to Pueblo Indians, 00 to the support of poor white people'in the south. The salary of the secretary was next taken up, and that officer will b required to sub- mit an itemized statement of expenses in- stead of receiving a stated sum. It appeared that tho expenses of the secretary often ox- ceeded tho salary allowed, hence this action.
