WILL ()A\l;\ll;\i BE FOR (IIRIST‘ Bhall the Great City Endure ot Orumble as Did Athens and Tyre? MERRILL'S NEW SHIBBOLETH REV, DR, Anthorities in Support of In Freely Quoted by Rev, S, E. Wi Calvary Baptist Church — Rev. Dry Harsha on € “How Paul Would Feel About Omal was the topic of Rev. Dr. P, S. Merrill's sermon preachea at the Iirst Methodist charch last evening., The doctor’s text was taken from Acts xvi, 17: Now, while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.” After telling what Paul saw and did dur. fng his stop in Athens the doctor said: “Imagine our sturdy old heroof many ex- ploits, the apostle of the gentiles, sweeping through the centuries of the Christian era, until at last he stands with us in thy cupola of the civilization whose foundalions he helped to lay, looking out upon the marvels of expanding Omaha, We tell him the story pot of 1,600 years, but of less than nalf a century, We relate to him how the tonts of wild men and the paths of wild beasts have given way to wsthetic homes and paved streets, where live and tread well nigh 150,000 cultured, enterprising citizens. We point not to a hoary monu moutal past, but to a wonder-working pres ent. Paul sces us standing hero in the wiao gateway between the cast and the west of this mighty continent, bringing things to pass like magic. He sces how intelligent, euterprising and prosperous we are, and he sc0s the things and tho men that are to be in this the midland city before it doubles its agn. Ilo couuts its coming people and weighs its coming iuterests and knows that as the age of steam gives way to the age ot clectricity, Omaha must be ‘a potent factor for good oF ill. aEiy “Shall hor citizens stand for tho ripening ories of Christian civilization and Lo mon nments ecommemorato great woral triumok ov shall she only erect proud shafts to shame bumanity and dishonor Christ, and at last step down from her pedestal of opportunity 10 the fellowship of verished Athens! O, how Paul would wish that the Omaha thatis and that which is to be might be saved and tako ber crown. What a center of power the Gate city would be, sending out over these brovd prairies the infiuences of Calyary. Pl is not hore, but you and T aro here. We know these things; we have been led up 1o this pinnacle of vision, Could Columbus nave known the wealth aud possivilities of the 1and whose flowery shores ho touched 1 our southern waters, with what greater emotions of pride aud joy would he have claimed it for his king. As we have the propbetic sight to behold the treasures locked up in our city’s future may we have the apostolic zeal to pre- empt them for the King of Kings. *“Keshub Chunder Sen, save, thinker ana bewitching orator of India, when he saw the splendors of Clristian_civilization marching With the tread of destiny upon the supecsti tlous systems of Asia, exclaimed with glow ing patriotism and lofty eloquence, ‘None but Jesus, none but Jesus shall have India.’ His fatherland was too good for any other sovereign to possess. Poor Sen! He fell 1 death before vyet tho Light of t World had wholly cclipsed the Light of Asia o his own heart, but we can not doubt that had he lived on he would have played no small part n placing Ingia in the bosom of Jesus for a gem. ““Whatof youand me! The greatlight that first dozzled then transfigured Saul of Tarsus is it not shining now for ust Do we love our Christ enougn to desire this great city for his glory? Do we love Omaha enouch to desire tho great Christ foritf 1f so, from this time forward, let the slogan of oar war on sin be ‘Omaba for Christ and Christ for Omaha,’ and thus record our loyalty to both and avert tho eternal sorrow of having Athens arise with Tyre and Sodom to con- demn us,” ALL OR NOTHING, Jmmersion the Only Burial with Chrlst, At the Calvary Baptist church last night Rev. S. B. Wilcox continued his sermons on “What Baptists Believe and Why.” Taking his text from Romans vi,4: “We were buried therefore with Him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from tho dead through the glory of the 1'ather, so we also might walk in the new noss of life,” he said: Wo do not practice immersion only, be- cause we believe it to be a saving ordinance, If & man 1s not saved before he is immersed the mere act of immersion will do him no Kood, else all who have been immersed and have afterwards lived wicked lives would be saved, and all who have lived upright, godly lives, but have not been immersed, would bo lost.' Wedo not practico immersion only, because it is the most convenient mode as overybody knows just the opposite 1s truc; it the most inconvenient, Nor is it be- cause we would despise the convictions of our brethern who do not agree \ith us. We believe that they are sin cere, but sincerity does not always make & thing true. 1 may believe that a certain _coin is genuine and pass it off for such. My sincerity don’t make tho com good, though it wmay absolve me from the Rullt of passing counterfelt money. There are, no doubt. many persons in Babtist churches who could not give an intelligent bollsm of answer to the quostion, “Why do you believe m immorsion only ' Hence these sermons, And I believe there are multitudes who could not intelligently answer the question, “Why do you believe that spriukling and pouring are valid baptism " Wo believe in immersion oniy because Christ was immersed, and Christ said: *I'hus it becometh us to fulfill all righteous- noss.” It was not becauso Christ had any sins to confess that IHe was buaptizea, but as Ho said in_anoter place: *1 have left you an example that ye should do as 1 have done.” How de we know that Christ was immersed{ Becuuso no other baptism will make sense in the account given. Let us seo if this be not true. In Mattnew iii., 16, we lay no stress upon “‘out of the water.” The ‘eok word means “from the water,” as 1o the revised version. But if He was im- mersed Ho went up from the water, In Mark i, #-10, the Greek as tho Ameri can revisers say, He was baptized *into Jor dan,” and “icame up out of the water,"” Without coanging but one word wo will guote the verse threo times aud see which makes the best senso. 2 WAnd it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth toGalilee and was sprinkled of Jobn into Jordan," “And it came 10 pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazarethof Galilec and was poured of Johu into Jordan," “And it eame to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was immersea of Johu into Jordan,” Do you sce the point! You can sprinkle or pour a ma into water. 1stand by the new testament, and say ‘\Jesus was immersed, heuce wo follow bis example, Because the Greek word means nothing else. To this agree substantislly all lexi cographers. S0 1uch has been said on this point lately that extended remarks are un called for. rely the Gireeks ought to kuow their own langusge. In the Greek church, the Greek ritual is used, as in the Roman Catholic, the Latin, Alexanaer de Stonedza, state councilor of tho Gireek church, says: T'he verb “‘baptizo’ has but one sole accepta tion, It signifies literally and always to lunge. Baptism and immersion ave, there or, identical; ahd to say baptism by asper- sion (sprinkling or pouring) is as if one should say immersion by aspersion, or any other absurdity of the sawe nature. Because the scholarship of the world sus- tains us in our position. Let me quote you from pedobaptist scholars on this point (Presbyterian) Ieckerman, Gorman theol- ogy, volume 111, chapter 8, page 369: “We cannot Geuy that the just institution of bapsism cousisted in immersion aud not in hgrinklmg"’ Bucauus, Swiss, page 010 “Forwerly the candidate was entirely im. mersed in rivers and founts. Salmasius, Frencn, page 660: *Baptism is 1mmersion and was edministered in ancient times ac- eording 10 the force and weauing of ihe word. Now itis only rantism, or sprinkling.” Dr. Cunningham, Scoteh, principal of St. Andarows, “(irwth of the Church," page 173, 1886; “Baptist means immersion. The Hebrews immorsed their proselytes. The Iissenes took their daily baths. John plunged his ponitents into the Jordan, Peter dipped his crowd of converts 1nto one ot tho grent pools which will be found 1n Jerusalem. Unless it had heen so Paul's analogical argu- ment about our being buried with Christ by baptism would have had uo meaning. Noth ing could have been simpler than baptism in its first form." Jow, Maimonides, tho gr of the twelfth century: ‘‘Wherever in the law washing of the flesh §s mentioned it means nothing else than_the dipping of the wholo body ina laver, for if a man dirs himsolf all over oxcept the tip of his little finger ho is still in his uncleanness. Episcopalian—Dean Stanley in *“Nineteenth Century,’” 1879: *The change from im- mersion to sprinkling has set aside the larger part of the apostolic language regarding baptism, and has altered the very meaning of the word.'" Lutheran—Prof, Harnack in Independent, February 19, 1555: * ‘Baptize! undoubtedly signifies immersion. No proof can be found that it signifies anything clso in tho new testament and in the most ancient Christian literature.” Catholic—Dr. Dollinger, *“The Church and the Churches, page 347, 1861: “Tbe Baptist position s ' incontrovertibio from the >rotestant standpoint, since they have the clear bible text for baptism,” I might extend thess quotations by tho bour, until I had giver you the testimony of more than 300 of the greatest Christian scliolars of thorchurch, not oune of them Baptists, sustaming us in our position. 1 have given you theso that you may know what pedobapiist schiolars say on our siae of this controversy, Any form bui immersion destroys the sym bolism of baptism and rendors tho rite use- less. It symbolizes the death, burial and resurrcction of Jesus Christ, and also our death and burial to alife of sin, and our resurrection to a new lire, and these cannot be symbolized by sprinkling or pour ing. So that Conybeare and Howson in their “Lifo of St, Paul” well remark, it is to be regretted that the form of baptism hns been changed, as thereby a Leautiful symbolisn has been destroyed, and wo Baptists say, if this be so lot our pedo. baptist friends’ change back to the original mode and so restore the symbolism. It is never too late to doright.” Tho rite should be restored 1o its original form and meaning. Ihose who love their Lord should bo loyal to all his commandments, and I believe that what Dr. RS, MeArthur says in a recent number of the Century Magazine is true, “When Christian peoplo meet in church union it will be around tho baptistry.” Or in the words of Dr, W. W. Evarts, jr.: “In the united church of the future this ordin- auce wiil be restored to 1ts prestine power and beauty.” Christians have found the ‘“‘ono Lord,”” aro scarching for the “ono faith’ and will then celebrate tho “one baptism.” Tet us carnestly pray that the Lord wiil hasten the glad day. satest theologian New York Emperor Wil Rev. Dr. W. J. Harsha preached a sermon rmany’ last night at the First Pres byterian church. 1t w ddressed to young men, but the audience was comprised mustly of elderly gentlemen and ladies. T'he preacher made a general talk on Bis- marck® Unser I'ritz (Emperor [rederick), his death and his successor to the throne, William II. The latter was full of vaguries and was filled with egotism when he went upon the throne as the young ruler of Germauy, When he had tis enlargement of the cranium he made manv mistakes by abusing his father's policy even before the clods had firmly settled upon Irederick’s grave, But now his views had changed and the young vuler was thrilled with o new spirit—a spirit of Christianity, and as there was influence 1n blood, he would, if his pres. ent policy were carried out, bo successful. To enjoy life and achieve success, Dr. Harsha said, 1t was necessary to let the spirit of cLristianity enter your heart. Republicans, Attention!

The shortage in his accounts is said to be $52,000, and boro o few duys ago it was learned that the receiver for the City National bank held Mr. Paul's personal notes for $14.000 ropresenting money that Mr. Paul haa borrowed from the bank. Itscems that this £14,000 was the money that he sunk in the brick yard enterprise. Takizg tho 52,000 shortago, the §14,000 borrowed from the City National banl and the §30,000 that he re coived as salary for tne four years ho heid tho oftice, we have §3,000 which he squan- dered 1n some way during the four years of his term as treusurer of Adams county. Mr. Paul dia not lve extravagantly. No one thought that he was spending his salary oven as fast as ho earned it. 'There must have been a tremenaous leak somowhare, Spect- lation and loaning to friends will probably explain it in the end.” ————— Be sure to try the Quail rolled oats and take no other, B Women's diseases.

Acting Quartermaster Hotchkiss was engaged all day in making up for the secretary of war a detailed state ment of the strongth of the several dopartments of the Nebraska national guard togother with an cstimate of tho military strength of the state. The footings from the report, which will be mailed to Washington tonight, show that the aggre gato number of mien enlisted is 054, Tho commissioned oficers, not including General Colby's staff, will bring this number up to 1,002, In estimating the number of men liable for military duty, Quartermaster Hotchkiss puts the proportion to tho vopula- tion at 1 to 10. This would give to Nebraska something over 100,000 men fit for arduous military service, Although Adjutant General Cole and Quartermaster Hotehkiss deny that any com munication between the War department and themselvos has taken place, it is certain thiat steps bave been taken Lo meet any emer- gency that may aviso. A mermber of the gov- eruot’s staff said this afternoon that the captain ot every company n the two rogi monts had beeu unofiicially communicated with and from the replies received from them it is certain that a regiment of from 1,000 to 1,200 men could be summoned inside of twenty-four hours, Who Would Command the Regiment, If Nebraska will ba permitted to particl- pate in any expedition against Chili there would be no littio strifo among the “'military men' of the state over the coloneley.

Colonel Puiilips of Beatrice gives it out cold that ho woula get the coveted place. Colonol Bob McReynolds of the governor's staff is “all worked up with cutbusiasm and threatens to raise an independent regiment 1t ho is not permitted to command the Nebraska con- tingent. Tho most likely man for tho place, however, is Colonel Hotehkiss, actiog quar- termastor of tho governor's staff, National Guards Would Enlist, Speaking of the Chilian complications, a prominent member of the Nebraska national Ruard, who was at tho Capital_hotel today, said: “If the preseut imbroglio cannot be settled without a r rt to arms, tne came- paign ngainst Chili would undoubtedly in- clude an expedition of 100,000 men.

It is not likely that Nobraska would be called upon for more than one remment.

When he strikes an ingenious ma- chine he sets to calculating how it may bo 1mproved. Few Yankees have gone through life without devising some kind of invention, ulthough in most cases the device moy have goune no further than the mind of the in ventor, The patert office at Washington 1s the out- growth of this national quality, Itis sucha wonument of multifarious ingenuity as is not to be matched in the world. Its stores of plaus and models are heaped up so lay- ishly by tho irrepressible genius of the na- tion that the whole establishment might be burned to the ground every five years, and each new building would be overflowing in time for the next fire, Plainly, it can bo no light thing to keep all this mass of business in ovder. “As aryas a patent office report” has become a proverb, But these reports, extendiug through hun- dreds of bulky volumes, contain the facts by whose light every new application for a patent must be decided. The nerson who expects 1o be of any assistance in facilitating the progress of a uew idea toward govern- ment recognition must know how to thread their dusty byways and uncover all the old ideas to which the new comer may bear a famly resemblance, ‘The inventor can bardly ever do this. Even if ho happens to be a resident of Wash- inglon his familiarity with the details of patent office procedure is rot likely to be sufficient to enavle him to accomplish any. thing for himself, and {f be lives at a distance of course ho can do nothing. An attorney is always required. But uot even the pensioners have suffered more from the operations of unscrupulous at- torueys thau the inventors. The average ventor is poor, and not accustomed to the teconicalities of law or business. He wauts @ patent, and he takes that term at its face value. To him a patent is @ patept, neither more nor less. He reads the advertisement of a plausible agent who prowises to get patents in quick time at low rates, payable only in case of succss. te sends on bis application aud in due time is gladdencd by the recelpt of uu imbrcssive document, garished with gilt seals and blue ribbous and aunouncing itself to ke a pat Audso it 15, bat when the owner uuaer- DAILY BEE: MONDAY, takes to b his invention on the market he #nds that he has nothing to sell.

An honest Aud capabie attorney would have made hiaiclaim as brgad as possible: he would have srgued every point with the examinors, add when ho finally ovtained a patent it would beve besu as valuable as the merits of thednvention would permit. Tar Brr Bareau of Claims is not afraid of trouble. Contrary to its custom in land, Indian depredation and pension cases it does not take patemt cases on contigent fees, and no other reputable patent attorncys do. When an apblication is intrusted to it it gives thosubject careful and intellizent study, and then files an itemizod claim covering s many poluts as can possibly bo found in the invention. [t argues as wany of thess as may be deniod and in thoe end it secures a patent” comprehensivo enough to hold its own in tho courts and in the money markot. If any inventor should be inclined to ques- tion the importance of broad claims in apply ing for patents, he may profitably consider the methods by which Alexander Graham Boll has been raised within the past fifteen years from poverty to a placo in the financial vorld alongside of Jay Gould and Russell Sage. —_—— Salvation Oil has cured many of rheuma- tism when other remedies failed, Tt isin- fallible.

Realiz that at the rate tho animals wore being slaughtered it would only be a matter of time, aud a short timo at that, ve- fore the noble beast would become oxtinet, Buffalo Jones used to “swear off”’ from hunty ing them himself everv now and then, but assoon as he would hear the guns of other hunters blazing wway the temptation to take a hand in the sport himself was well nigh ir- resistible and his good resolution would be scattered to the winds. That he was an ex- port shot of rare ability may readily bo in- ferred frowm the fact that on one occasion he killed soventy-two buffaloes in _one siand. This was ds while Iving in a burialo wailow and they all fell on about two ucres of eround. ¥t Theso shooting expeditions were fraught with no little personal danger and a hunte had to be constantly on the lookout for ho tile Indians. Many u time Buffalo Jones had an exciting and perilous job on hand sfand ing off redskins with bluffs and bullets and he invariably slept with one eye open, Jones was mighty vigitant and never permitted the treacherous Indians to get the drop on hiwm. Buffalo Jones had plenty of opportunities of observing the great mortality of native cattio from sevore storms in Kunsas, Ne- braska, Colorado and Texas, but never saw any bulfalo perish from this cause, He is of opinion that a cross with the buffalo is the only animal that would live on the plains and be sustained by artificial food and he de- termined to demonstrate this by actual ex- periments. He also had a great desire to kecp a few of theonly animals peculiar to America, supposing that somo day thoy would bring £100 each, Today they sell for as high as §1,000 apiece, Mr. Jones began catching buffalo calves in 1856 and went to the staked pluins of Texas ana there captured twelve young calves, which he eraeavored to convey to Kansas, feeding them on condensed milk, but was only uble to save four, threo of which are now in the herd. In 1887 he manazed to save seven aud in 'SS succeeded in raising thir two of these calves as hLe took nauve cows along and the calves took kinaly to them. In '8 bie determined to capture the last herd comprising twen'y old cows and seven caly He did_so, but all tne old ones pined away and died. lie succeeded, however, in suving all the calves and he now has forty-three full bloods left. In the spring fifteen cows will drop calves, When properly cared for theso anurals propogate readily. Mr. Jones sold about seventy-five head of theso cattle, sixteen of which went to Kurope. Some have been killea in the Wild West show and others died whilo being shipped in the railroad cars, and there are now only about seventy- five head left in the United States zll told. The demand in Burope will take all of them if something is not done by the government to preserve them. ‘There are no genuine old plain's baffalo left in a wild state. ‘There are a few moun- tain bison in the National park, and from tho best authority and personal inspection, Mr. Jounes does not believe that there are to exceed sixty head there and seven head in Last Park, Colo, and about twenty in fhe Bjtish possessions, They are a much smaller afiimal, with short legs and 8 short body, and have beon bred in and in until they aro what. would be termed mullet heads. They inhabit the roughest conyons and their young cannot be captured by ordinary methods. The crosses aro a wonderful animal and generally ure one-third larger than domestic avimals. They have beautiful fur, as handsome as a boaver's, and their meat is choizo. They live on wild grasses alone and keep exceptionally fat. They have really turned out better than Buffalo Jones anticipated, and he is perfectiy satisfied with tho result of bis experiment, “Listed," as the brokers say, At 100 doses one dollar,” Hood's Sarsaparilla is alwaysr fair equivalent for the price, —-— ot Mis Price, The story of the late M.
