ARE FAST MAKING FRIENDS Visiting Methodists and Omaha Getting ou Very Intimate Footing Already. FIVE BISHOFS PREACHED YESTERDAY Delegntes Kurvey Their Quarters and Sur. roundings—Citizens Fill the Charches to Hear the Word—The Missionary Mass Mcetlng—Today's Program. The people of Omaha got acquainted with visiting Mcthodists and visiting Methodists got acquainted with the people of Omaha yesterday as they never did before. Hun dreds of confercnce delogates awoke yester: day morning In the hotels and private homes of Omaha &nd began to adjust themselves to thelr surroundings and the environments which wiil cncompass them for the next thirty days. Today they will attend the opening of the general conference, but yesterday they went to church and learned something about the streets, places of worship aud the people of this western motropolis, Tho sermons delivered in Omaha yesterday were very largely of the Methodistic moula, for most of tho pulbits of the city were oc- cupied at one of the services by visiting Methodist clergymen. The day was dark and discouraging, but the audiences were large at nearly all the churches. Rev. S. Wright Butler, who has been recontly callea to St Mary's Avenue Congregational church, was greeted by a large and well-pleased audience, The mass meeting at Exposition hall in the aftornoon in tho interest of the Mothodist misslonary work was attended by a large audicnce of Omaha people and visitors. At all the Mothodist churches there were many strange faces, and the sermons were interesting on account of the fuct that they were preached by some of the wost dis- tinguished men in tho denomination. It was a fleld day for Mothodists and thoy evidently oajoyed it. FIGURES OF 8Pt SN xplains the Homely Tiusteations. Tho First Motlodist church was fairly packed with ncople before the hour for ser- vices o bogin had arrived. Maay wero obliged to stand during the cntiro service and they did so, waiting for the last word from Bishop Bowmauw's lips. Dr. P. S, Merrill read the opening hymn, and after tho usual preliminary servico Bishop Thomas Bowman, senior bishop of the church, preached tho scrmon. Bishop Bowman is a man of meaium height a1d well built, but not rooust. Hois yoars cld, but well preserved. His faco is that of a genial, sweet spirited and in- tellectual goutleman who evidently secs a good deal in the world besides sin and iniquity. His stylo of spenking is that of earncst conversation, his lauguage quite ro- markable for its simplicity and directness, Bistiop Bowman found bis textin Matthew xiit, 45: “Agan the kingdom of heuven 18 like unto o merchantman seeking goouly peurls: who, when be bad founa one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he nhad and boughtit.” The speaker referred to tho custom that Christ had of talking in parables aud suid it was customary in oriental coun- tries to do 50 even at tho present time. It wus tho natural way Lo impress useful lessons upon the mind. He thought that ministors would do well to tako navautage of current topics occasionally in bresenting their ser. mons, but he did not like the habitof prench- ing sensational sermons upon sensational texts, Men frequently becamo greatly cx- cited over the discovery of hidden treasure or new mines of precious metal; but the re- lwion of Jesus Christ was far more valuable than any earth!y religion of Curist was the only thing that would 1 man how to live. He mightiearn oy cure of his physical being and nis intellectual being without the religion of Christ, but s spintual nature required theelp of God 1m its eflort_to reach up to things immortal and divine. 1t was nonsense to talk about men evolviug into this or that. Oue might as well say that a steam engine was the rsult of material evolution. 1f it required man to make the engine, then it must have required something grealer than man to make the maker of the steam engine. There was a great first cause, and that cause was God. The speaker told a numbver of personal ex- periences along spiritual lines and said that through the grace of God he had been en- abled 1o overcome a very violent temuer and for over forty years he had not experienced the fecling of anger in his heart. Ho advised every man to get acquainted with tho reli- gion of Jesus Christand to drink decp of tho fountmin that quencheth the thivst of tho soul. Bishop Dowman recited some pathetio in- cidents o a touching nature which brovght @ coplous shower of teurs from tho eyes of his auditors. The music by the choir was csveciaily acceptable and was very highly enjoyed. Scveral of the bishops and mauy of tho prowinent men of the church were presentin the audienco, Bishop Bowman Utility of CHRIST AND HEAV N, Bishop Mallalleu Talks on & Favorite Theme of i, Bishop Mallalieu spoke to a largo audicnco 8t the South Tenth Street Methodist church yosterday morning. The services were un- usually impressive and after the sermon sey- eral penitents went to the altar as subjoats for prayer. T'he personal appearance of Bishop Matla- lleu suggests more of the staid, middle-aged business man than of the ominent divine. Hus face is not especially striking and his boaring s unassuming, His features are rogular and his oyes are bounevolent rather than pierciug. This appearavce 15 accontu- ated by bis full grayish beard, Tho bishop's style of oratory 1s in keepiug with bis appearance. He effects no fer- vid flights of eloquenco or rhetor: cal flourishes. ~ When he begius to speak tho listener 18 disappointed, but after a few minutes the oarnestuess of tho speaker takes hold of every faculty of tho hearer and s00n he finds himself impressed to au extent impossiblo to the influcnce of words alone. Tho heart is in overy word that issues from the lips of Bishop Mallalicu, aud at times when ho warms up overa theme even the most cynical listener fs moved to tears by sywplicity aud directuess of his descriptions, Tho text from which he spoke yesterday morning was the passagn in tho gospel of Bt. John beginuing, *lumy ather's house there are many mansions.” Tho sermon was dircoted to o portrayal of tho futare life of the blessed, aud the subjoct was evidently a favorite one with the speaker, “The Lord Jesus Christ,” said the bishop, ‘‘cawe down from heaven to tarry with us a littio while, aud one of the objocts of his earthly life was to tell us about heaven. It is & remarkabio fact that every nation on carth bas somo ideas of ‘a future existence. The most abject tribe of Iudians that roams our wester prairios believes in a future home for the good aud & punishment for the bad. But when you scek more definite information you find uothing but confusion snd chaotic veliefs, 1f you ask me what I know about heaven ana I close this bible and try to tell you what I know, asido from its teachings, I am surprised at the utter paucity of my knowleage. 1 know only that the longer I live the nearer heaven seems to my soul. I believe that God's house is indicative of this vast universe, & universe finite in its limitations but magnificent in its proportions, Somewhero I can imagine a centra! point aboul which all the wor!ds revolve and where od's wisdow aud power are dispiayed in o manner beyond the imagination of any finite wind. 1 read the story of a sad accident the other day. Four young people were out sail iug when the boat capsized. Oae young man clasped the girl heloved in his arms and struggied with slmost superbuwan cffort to save her. A rescuing boat was approaching. With his last expiring effort he held her up where the resculng hands could reach her and then sank iuto tne watery depths. So when the billows of sin rolled over Christ t. by byog on Calvary, be held up fallen humanity where thoy could see the golien shores of nope and thea sank in death.’’ APOSTLES AS MEN, Characters of the Twelve Considered Bishop Warren of Denver, The people who attended Trinity Metho. dist Episcopal church in Kountze Place yes- terday moraing were permitted to enjoy an intellectual trent, and unere was any nuinver of such people, as the church was not only by filled, but scores of persons were compelled to tako seats in the lecture room off the body of the church, I'io services were opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Miiler of Lincolo, after which Histiop H. W, Warren was introduced fo the congregation by the pastor, Itev. Mr. Beans Bistiop Warren of Denver is ono of the in tellectual giants of the conferenco which convenes today. Helis oman who by his mild manner and impressive appearance at once captivates his hearcrs and holds them spellbound to the end of his discourse. His dclivery is clear, eloguent and forcible, his wostures finished and graceful and his ' per. sonal app arance that of an of tue gospol of Jesus Christ, | proacher fde Tall and well built, with clear, clean cut features and a broad full forehead, the 1dea is at once con- ceived that Bishop Warren is a acep thinker, ana as ono foilows him through cne of his sermons this idea becomes pressed upon the mind. In his opening remarks Bishop Warren asked: *Which of the apostles was most o teemed by tho holy catholic church: which of the apostivs do vou liko bestf’ Then he took up and discussed tho character of those twelve mon who followed Christ through Pulestine and Judea; thoso men who helped nim spread the gospel in tho far away land beyond the seas, long before churches had opened their doors to the people of tho world. o Apostle Thomas, tho bishop said, was A man to whom the church owed o gre aebt; Peter was a man with a strong impul- sive nature, while Jobn was o man with a sweot disposition, so much 80 that he was called the “beloved disciple.”” Paul was o cultured man Love, Bishop Warren said, was the most coduring thing in tho universe, God's love he compared to a great river. It was not ouly full, but it was so iutense and so great that it was bottomless, endloss and its sum- mitless height was beyond human concep- tion. How could that love be strongthened ¢ neasked. Only by going on step by step, ange by ranee, uniil the Christin had the very nature of Christ himself. ‘There wero many men, he snid, who wero willing that Christ should have n share of their hearts, but they wanted to keep their pocketbooks themsclves; thoy were willing that Christ should bo a'partner in their family prayers, but they wanted him to let their busincss affairs alone. in his travels, the bishop had found two kinds of men. He had met tho fussy, im- petuous feliows and the broad-minded 'men, the men who sought out righteousness and new lifo to hand down to coming generations yetuuborn. The first mentioned men wero like the toy engines i the stores of the city. They made lots of fuss and some s thoughk their acts were not 8o notice: while the lntter meutioned mon, although more firmly im they did mot make so great a noise por- formed works and decds that lived ufter them and were not forgotton when they were laid away 1o their tombs, SHORT ON HEART. Brains Enough for Several Worlds but Not art Enough for One, th** was the themo of tuo discourse of Bishop Isane W. Joyce, of Chattauooga, who filled tho pulpit at the Seward Street Metho- dist Episcopal cbureh, Ho preached from tho text *Whatsoever ye willaskin My tan that wiil I give you,” and although the ser- mon was unusually long no_ono noticed the flight of time ov felt relievea when tho speaker coucluded. On the contrary tho con- gregation, which comulete'y fitled thie church, Listened with marked interest, The bishopisa man of powerful frame, with u massive lead aund a wealth of long, curling gray hair, which, bowever, has about given up the fight to prevent his high fore- head from extending back to the crown of his well shaped hcaa, Though striding along toward his sixtieth year, e looks liko a much vounger man, whetber pleading carnestly from the pulpit or when his kindly, smoottly shaven face lights up witha winning smile. He is a vapid talker andspeaks without manuseript ormotes aud without hesitation. So thor oughly and decply cngrossed does he appear 10 ve in his work that e creatos the impres- sion that ho has a ereat deal more to than be cau fiud timo for, and is ther constantly engaged 1n a race against time to P doas much work ns possible before the seryice hour s ended Aund he admits that suchi n fecling does take possession of him and holoses no time from changing from firstly to secondly, and theace Lo tuirdly, and 50 01 10 the close. Lut it is what he says and how ho says it thit wins his auditors more than any fixed style of oratory or of gesturc that he might adopt. Ho uses few gestures, but does not ullow @ climax to be venched ‘withoat them His voico is a musicil one, and though it filled the cbureh without effort, was at times subdued to thrill every hearer by its softness and intensity. Oceupying the pulpit with bim were Rev, . A, Craune, pastor of the church, and Bishop Thoburn of Calcutta, while seveéral of the reverend delegates to' the conference were scattered through the congregation. In referring to the quadrennial conferonce about to open 1u this city aud of the 500 delegates that it has brought nere from all arts of the world, the bishop asked: *\What are we hers for—following iu the steps of our fathers and of their fathers before them, and doing us our succossors will do after ust We are working to save the world toour Lord Jesus Christ. The principal agency for doing this is the intelligent preaching of the gos- pel. 1f men are to bo saved and mado to velie: we as wustructors and teachers must understand, 50 as to tell thom how to be- lieve. All minds tend to u focus or common point. God built the human brain for for- ward movement; He made the buman mind to know more tomorrow than it does today. What the courso of the transmission of an idea is 1 do uot know; I can not explain how it travels from tho writings of ove man to tho briin of another, but I do not question it. Taccept the fact as L find it, “Giod could undoubtedly have spoken and the whote moral condition of mea would have beon chinged. It is better for us that Ho did uot do this. 1t was botter that e should get closer Lo men that they might study and know more of Him, Wo dou't fail in this world from lack of knowledge. We havo brains enough 10 run two or threo worlds iike this, but I sometimes think tuat we huven't bieart enough 1o run one little neich- borhiood. Moro men fail in the pulpit from lack of Leart than from lack of brains, With ull our colleges, school and opportunities of learning we acquire knowledgo enough, but sn't awhat 18 needed—sympathy i$ tho touic for a tired spivit, “0ue of the groatest things about God is the wonderful heart revealed through our Lord Jesus Christ. We shoula believo on Him as a man, Wo stoald believe on Hiw as having great mission to fulfill, We read every worniug, us the wires bave flashed it durinz tho uight, of this wrong, of that sin and that crime. 1t would lead one to believe that ull is sin and crimo and tho world filled with burdened souls and aching hearts. It is to chauge this coudition of thiugs that our Lord is 10 conquer the world, My heart is full when L \hink of the sin_and_ suffering i the world, and I wish that I could but preach us Ifeel and talk as it is in my soul. Clrist brings relief and puts new life in & human soul. You dow’t make character in five min- utes nor 1 twenty-four hours, but this uew life comes like a flash, and then we grow n grace. God never allows a man to get so Jow that ho never has a desira tobe better, That comes to every man, but the desire aloue is not sufiicient, as those who belped you down cannot alone lift you out.” By way of illustration, the bishop related the expericnce of PProf. Agassiz, who was lowered by two friends between the jaws of 8 Swiss glacier but thoy could vot hift nim out without additional help. They tried to tigure it out, and found that the weight of the rope made Lbo difference. *“I'he rope,” said the biahob, *is evil habit, and the deeper down you g0 the heavier its welght becomes.' In conciusion, be spoke of the influence exerted by oue mind over apother, and be- sought his hiearers to think well of their actions lest a weak brother be led to err, He iuvited any who might be desirous of eateriug upou a new life to so signily it, ana several arose and asked the prayers of Curistian friends.
