SAW SPURGEON AT HIS BEST An Omaha Reporter Who Heard the Great | sacher in London, PICTURES OF THE MAN AND HIS WORK Annual Meeting of the Methodist Hosy Association—What Omaha’s Mir ters and Plous People Have Been Doing. Tho many excellent magazine articles and newspaper eaitorials that have appeared re centiy and since the death of the late Re Charles Haddon Spureeon, have brovght his lite and works very prominently beforo tho reading public. Ihousauds who knew com- paratively little about the great London preachor have learned a good deal about him of late, and those who had read his writings and sermons all the way from *'John Plough man's Taik" down 1o his lnst great dis courses have become more familiar with the ovents of Mr. Spurgeon’s busy lifo by means of the current lilerature bearing upon the in- teresting features of his character and work. 1 havo been deeply interested in many of theso biographical sietches and editorial notices of tho life and works of the great London preacher, and in ono respect all tho articlos that I have road have had the samo offect upon me. They have invariably zallod to mind the 10th aay of July, 1882 whon it was my good fortune to attend clurch av_Mr. Spurgeon’s tabernacle near the “Elophant aud Castie! iu the groat and wonderful city of Loncon. Tn glancing over my notobook the other Aay I found that the brief notes that I jotted down while listening to Mr. Spurizoon’s dis- course coutained some very interesting points and from them I will furnish a rathor imperfect synopsis of tho sermon for the rouders of Tie SUNDAY BEp, At that time 1 had dono but very little newspapor work, but having sumethiug of the roportorial bont of mind T used my pen- oil in *Yotting things down” and will make tho best of the brief and fragmentary notes takon as | listened to the sermon. My trav- sling companion was n gontleman from Loraine, O., Rov. J. J. Conoughy, and we wore told at our hotel on Sunday morning to tako tho tramway to the “Klephant and Castle” and then to “follow the crowd.” This we did and had no_troablo, as wo were in good time, iu finding the way to Mr. Spur- zeon's church. Mr. Spurgeon‘s Tabernacle, The great structure does not look much like u church to the average American. It looks more like a stock exchange or possibly a theater from a few blocks away, but as we approached the sdifice wo noticed huge tablts fastencd against tho iron fence with printed announcements of the rvicos for the entire week upou them. The tabernacle Is not an ornamental structure, 1t was evi- dently built far comfort and convenience, not t please the eye. Along the front there strotches an immonse portico, the pediment of which is supvorted vy six ' Corinthian col- umns. Ascending a flight of half a dozen broad stone steps that stretch clear mcross the front of the building one enters a plain, wide vestivule, from which the people pass to the main auditorium or into the gallery, which runs almost all the way around the great building. The tabernacle is both long and wide. but the pulpit is built 1n such a way as to bring the preacher within reason- able distance of all the people. The pulpit platform, I now recall it, seemed to be about as much above the pews in on the lower floor as it was below the pews 1n the gallery and 1t jutled out towards the center of the great building twenty or thirty feot from the end opposite the main entrances. When we entered we found & large con- course of people waitiug in the lobby of the rallery. We wero informed that these peo- lo were waiting for the gong to sound. Ir. Spurgeon was thoroughly cosmopolitan. Ho was also democratic to a certain degree, He beliovea iv baving every man, woman and child who attended his church provide with the best vacuut seat in the house, it didu’t matter whethor thoy rented pews or not. His plan for filling up all the most de- sirable pews was a very practical one and has been adopted at many other largo temples of worship both in Euro and America. At fivo minutes before the ser- vices began a small electric gong in the gal- lery rang sharp and clear, aud then overy unoccuvied pew in the house was free and open to tho person who uesired to tako it. Wo were waiting patiently for the goug, but before 1t rang a business man of tho city, whom we had meta few aays bo. fore, recognized us audinvited us to acoept seats in his pew which we very gladly aid. When the izong sounded it was nteresting to see the great congregation of visitors who hed been waiting movo forward and till up the vacant seats, The great auditorium and the gallery became a sea of human faoes, And Everybody Snng. A doudlo quartette of singers assisted by 8 director led the singing but the entiro sudience joined. I have heara sweeter wusio but I never heard melody with so mwuch volume and power as that congrega- tignal singing. It wus a veritable tnspiration, The great building seemed to tremble and valpitate with the rise ana fall of that tre- mendous chorus of 5,000 voices, Mr. Spur- geon announced the hymns and seemed to enjoy that part of the service very much, His pulpit was simplicity itself. He had a bible and a hymn book on'a small desk of the proper height before him and when the text was read he seemed Lo have little use for a desk or any kind, Ho advanced toward tho railing aroind the platform and frequently rlmlng bis hands on the railing he leanod orwara and taiked very much asa man would deliver an impromtu lecture, It is not necessary for me 10 scan my unote book to remember the text. I~ bave never forgotten it for a single day since, The man- aer of hus reading aud the striking comments that he made as he vead the sacred lines left a0 abiding impression. His Text and Sermon, Mr. Spurgeon read from the fourth chapter of Mar *'Behold there went outa sower to sow."” ete. Mr. Spurgeon paused when ho bad read the first sentenco and snid; *‘And why shouldn’t he sow! That was his busi- wess and we would naturally -expect that he would attend to it. But thero are people who go out to sow and seem to forget their mission. They sit down in the corner of the fleld or by tho wayside to gossip or idle their valuable timo away, and” before they are sware of 1t the day is done and there is no seed cast into the ground. Other men go out to sow, but they turn aside to do something else, ‘A man should stick to his business, Ifa man is a proachier he should preach and do nothing elso. Tho less ho tries to do of other things the better. The human mind is like & camera. The ‘llll'lli‘ ofa dog may ruin a tine photograph, 5o the mind may’ be cor- cuptod by a sinful thought.” ben Mr. Bpuckeon had finished reading the ohapter he took hold of the subject with roul earnestness. He divided the subject nto tho following parts: How Christ spake to those on the outside and how he spake to those on the inside; how he weunt out ana gathered in the lost sheep, and how he fed e wheu he bad thew in the fold, He Admired Plain Talk, Toucking upon the way people Mr. Spurgeon sal Some men think ibey must preach deep things—oh, the won- derful thought of modern times—and they I'e) 30 deep they never come up. 1 am sick of this talk about vrofound thought. These so- nund‘l:roluuud thinkers remind we of the euttlefish, which sinks in the depths of the poean and sproads its inky blackness behind 1t 80 you cannot follow. S0 these profound men sink out of sight in profundity and never someup. 'I'hey 2o to the bottom like an old vessel. Christ didn't preach in that manser, He didu't carry a gold pencil case in his pocket and overy time bo ran across a wora of sixteen syllables put it down, as some wodern preachers do, remarking that ‘thore Is s good word Lo go inw my next sermon.

GILLAS, Methodist Hospital Mooting, On last Tuesday the annual meeting of tho Methodist Episcopal Hospital and Deaconess fome association at Omhaha was held in the Young Mon’s Christian association rooms. A sense of acep gratitude to God pervaded tho assemblage, that success so sigual had attended tho first yoar of tho or canization. Several changos were made in the constitution, ouo of which was the ce- duction of the number of trustees from fif- teen to nine, aud the execntive committes was reduced from seven to five, The report of B. R. Ball, president of the Board of Trus- tees, was very gratifying. Following i3 a synopsis of the address of Rev. J. W. Shank, president of the asso- clation : Members of the Mathodist Kpiscopal Hos. pital and Doaconess Homo Association—Dear Co-workers: We are biere today to pass our first aununl mile post. Ons year ago wo gathered for the purpose of organization. We proceeded by faith, but not without some- what of fear dnd trembling, while we remern- vered tho apostolic injunction to “work out our own salvation with fear and trembling."! Providence smiled upoa our undertakiug. A suitable building was purchased and tho institution was opencd on the 2Sth of May, 1501, That iv has done good work and been favored of hoth God aud men is shown by the record of what has been accomplistied. ‘Theso patients have come from the follow ing widely different localities: Omaha 60, lowa 50, Wyoming 1, Kansas 1, South Da: kota 3, Missouri 4. Illinois 3, Colorado 1, throughout Nebraska 120, Thus 1t will be seen that by far the largest number haye come from Nebraska outside of Omaha and the number next largest to Omaha and Nebraska, is from Iowa. The institution is therefore general in its chur acter, and must be expectod to look for sup port within a radius of 250 wiles in all direc tions. ‘The patients have represented nearly all Christian denominations, Catholics, Presby- terians, Baptists. Congregationalists, Dut¢ Reformed, Lutherans, Methodists, un 1 others of no religious faith, There have been at least five ~who under the gracious infiuence with which they have been sur- rounded, have forsaken tuo ways of sin and turned to God for salvation, while many more have signified a desire to lead a Chris- tian hife. In accomplisbing these results different workers have contributed. The board of trustees have lahored faithfully, and especially through their worthy president, B. R. Ball. We cannot teo highly appreciate the services of the Ladies’ Aid association, through whose care and efforts the varied in- torests of the institution have been promoted, aund a valuable addition to the builging, the laundry, has been constructed, the burden and care of which rested upon their able president, Mrs. -Claflin, and Mrs. J. W. Austin, whose abseuce from our midst we “taunot cease to regrot. But moro than all else the practica! results cf the institution have depeded on the sel Aenial and loving faithfulness of the deacon- esses, first and foremost of whom is our most worthy matron, Miss Pfrimmer. Five deaconesses aud six deacouess nurses in traiiug, are devoung their lives to this worthy cause. Tho visiting deaconesses, Misses Herrick ana Miller, have done excel- lent evangelisiic work, bu so great has becn the need for nnrees i’ the hospital, that for s0me time past they have been compelled to dovote the entire time to that work. From what we have scon of these noble women and their work we must believe that they have been callod of God to this great and high calling, and we cannot escape the conviction that the order of Deaconesses is 10 play an important part in the evanceliza- tion of our cities, and likewise the evangeli- zation of the world. - Amoug Religious Workers. The anniversary of the death of Bishop Clarkson occurrea last Thursdav and was fittingly observed in memorial services at Orinity cathedral. Tne great work that Bishop Clarkson began and so successfull carriod forward during the yoars of his resi- dence in Omnha is still moving on. The Young Men’s Journal published in this city and edited by Mossrs. Hazioton and May is meeting with phenominal suceess in a business way. The young meu have recently enlargod the paper to an eight-pnge quarto and thoy are contempluting other changes and improvements to keep up with the demards that are pressing in upon them. The ladies of the South Tenth Stroet Mothodist church gave a very successful fair 824 supper at tho Young Men’s Christion as- sociation building on Friday and Saturday of last woek. The fair was unique in its way. There was a tavle for each day in the week, and the articles kept for sale on each table were those things which the day might suggest. For nstance, Monday is wash day the country over, so tae Monday table cou- tammed galvanized clothes lines, clothes wringers, soap and other articles used on wash days, il the days in the weok were similarly represented on the tables, The Sun day tablo was kept by Mrs, Bishop New- wan. It contained books and religious pupers and periodicals, The Lenten services conductoa by tho Brotherhood of St. Audraw, to be held every Thursday mght during Lent, began last Thursday night at Trinity cathedral. The meeting was for men only and the subject of a very excellent discourse by RRev. Jokuson, mission priest at St. Andrew’s mission, was “Social Purity.” He said some very plain and practical things that appeared to meet with the indorsement of the gentiemen present. ‘True couvorsion begins in the hoeart, and thonce spreads up aud down—up into the bead and down into the pociet.
