RELIGIOUS PROGRESS IN HEATHEN LANDS Buccessful Effort to Form New Rules of Ordor—Dr. Buckley Gots Worsted In A Punning Match—Work of the Day. Bishop Fowler presided yesterday at tno Methodist conference and Rev. W. Mc- Douald, a colored brother of Mississippl, led in dovotional exercises. Dr. kisko of Michigan got the floor imme- alutely after the reading of the minutes and offorod aresolution heartily endorsiug the ad- dres of Dr. W. I. Moulton, delivered Friday evening. The minutes of the several annual confer- ences wore referred to the committse on ftinerancy, on motion of Dr. Edwards. A ohange was made in the persounel of the committee on Epworth league, at the request of tho committee. A communication was read from the Omaha Young Men's Curistian association extend- ing to the delegates an invitation to the use of the reading room of the Young Men's Christian association, The invitation was acoepted with thanks, "The conforence commission was instructed to have the committee rooms warm for the aftercoon session, Amos Shinkle was put on tho committes on rovisals. Dr. Ott of the West German conference moved that every resolution and every mem- orial bo printed in the Daily Advocato, Secretary Mouroe stated that the memorials and resolutions had been coming to bim in such a shape that no living man coula tell whether they were resolutions, men.orials or what not. Some of them were not signed; had not the name of a conferen e on them. e thought the delegates should learn how to write resolutions snd smemorials in such a mauner that thay could be read. Ihe committee on deaconesses was en lurged to five at large instead of one at large. Dr. Buckley of New York said that his committes had received a document on red eloquence. Ho believed it should be roforred Lo the bishops, personally, [Laugh- ter.| It was reforred to tha committes on education Dr. I M. Bristol of Chicago offered a resolution requesting the standing commit- tees to sit with closed doors excepting mem- bers of the general conference. The resolu tion was tabled by avote of 202 to 114 sgaiust and Lhe aunduncement was greotod by slight applause. Dr. Neely of Philadel phia then read the re- i t from the committes on rules of order. Jelogates opened Lhoir manuals of the pro- vious session and compared the rules read with former rules. ‘The reading had pro- Foted but ashort way when Dr. A, B. Loonard moved that the report of the com: mittee be printed in the Daily Advocate so that the delegates could comparo the new ryjes with the old. 1t was decided o priat the rules on Mouday . Dr. Buckloy wanted the rules adopted at once. He thought It was a waste of time to postpoue the adoptlon of the rules even for publication. Dr. Bristol of Chicugo callea for the order of the day, which was the report of Bishop Taylor of Africa. The special order of the day was taken up, Evangellzation of Afriea. Bishop Taylor of Africa then came for- ward aud was grooted with great applause. Hosaid 1he evaugelization of Africa was stupendous work, A part of the continent of Africa was poverty stricken by nature. ‘The natives were unablo to make use of even the resources that were wilbin their resch. 'l'!.w{ needed brain vulture and hand culture. Without band culture thev would starve on Jholr barren plains. Toe education of bead, heart and hand must ve carried forward s multaneously in Africa. and the best U 10 bogin the work was in youth, It woy not do to woit until the heathsn had grown up 1n 125 0-ance and sin, *‘Day unuto day and night unto night," suid the speuker, “the work should go on. ' God school has no vacatiou. it is continuous.” T'ho galleries were filled to overflowing during the denvery of Bishop Taylor's ad- dress, and the atteution was very intense. ‘I'ho speaker claimed that even the heathen children could be brought up in the rear and admonition of the Lord, so that they would when they grew up to maturity establisk homes and finully found af civilized and Christian state. He recounted the hard- ships and dangers that beset the missionary worlk in Africa, and ssia tuat the work de mandea men and women of heroic faith and courage. Some of the women missionaries, espocially the Missos White, he commended heartlly for thoir zeal and courage in facing daugors in the dark continent. Bishop Taylor became cousiderably mixed up in his uotes, ana Dr. Buckloy, wko always knowswhat to do, moved that Bishop Tay lor be pormitted to spesk witnout notes. Carriea. 1 have beeu a travelicg preacher for forty years,” said Bishop laylor, “and nover read @ sermon, 5o I um awkward with notes.” What is Neoded There, Bishop Taylor then snoke of the necessity of purchasing the young girls beforo thoy could bo gotten away from their parents The girls are marketable, and the pareuts will not let the missionaries havo them to cducate without huving first received tne mavket price for them. Ho said in was use- le: to try to Christianize the young men without Christianizing the young women. They wust have Christian partuers for lifo or the work will fall. He told of one in- stauco where n naked heathen African car- ried a ohild nearly 300 miles to keep hor out of the band of the siave merchants, He then gave a list of the memovership of tho missions and Sunday schools in Africa. Thoro are over 3,000 church mombers, 35 Sunday schools, over 800 teachers and 8,750 Sunday school scholars under the supervision of the Metho- dist ohurch in Africa. The speaker then gave a concise statement of the value of mission property in the dark continent. Bishop Taylor is a tall, powerful looking man, wearing a long be almost white with the touch of time. He is not elouuent, but 1s evidently absorbed completely in the mission work among the Africans. = In clos- ing be said thav the missions of Africa necded the prayers and the help of the Methio dists of Americo. T work is succecaing, CGiod is leadive and we are prepared to fol low,” wero the closing words of tho addross, that were greeted by applause. ‘The address was beartily endorsod by the conforence una ordered pristed iu tho Advo cate. Tangible Result of Missionary Work, Some one moved that Bishop Taylor bo re- quested to present the little colored girl that he bad brought to America with him 10 tho conference. Tho 'cute and really beautiful olild was brought forward and placed upou the presiding bishop's desk. The conferenco wus thrilled with the picture presented sud a wuve of applause filled toe house. Bishop Howman stepped forward and took the liitle waif by the band. The child looked at bim iunocontly and smiled, ‘'he audience again broke out in applause. What is her uame!" called out a delegate. Wo call her Diuna,” said Bishop Taylor. “How old is she ! called another. “She is about § yoars old,” replied the bishop, “and nine ‘montbs ago she was i heathen child, She has learned to talk En- glish in that short time," “Aud she has gotten into the general con- ference, too" said Bishon Fowler, and the audience laughed. The child looked out in great wonderment L 10e sea of faces bafore ber and one could uot help wondering what her innocest, baby thoughis were as she beneld this, the largest concourse of white faces she had ever seen After permittiog the child 1o face the cou ference for & momeut Bishop Fowler lifted ber tenderly down aud sbe was taken from the platforin. Mr. Kuox of Keutucky, a ocolored brother, became so wuch moved by the scene that ho requested tho privilege right there aud theu of making ~ speech. He soarcd of ou @ fligh. of oratory - cou corning he evangelization aud salvativn of the dark continent closing with the re wark that when he suw Bowmau take the colored child by the kand, he was reminded of the prophecy that “Ethiopa shall stretch forth her hand to God* [Ap. plause. | Talk Abouat the Rules of Order. The discussion of the rules of order was then continued, Dr. Bristol of Chicago moved that a radi- cal chunge be made with regard to offering substitutes, wfter two amendments had been offered to an original motion. He wanted it made tho rulo that a moiion which was really an amendment could not be rung in as a substitute. He thougt that there was dauger of having too many motions befors the houso, Dr. Neely thought that tho rules as in force in the Uaited Statos congress wero correct, and thoy permitted the introduction of a substitnte, and ven au amendment to the substitute after amendments had been introduced. Dr. Bucklow. then took tho floor and urged tho speedy adoption of rules, He held tbat valuable time was being wasted ovor techui- calities. Dr. Hammond of California thought that six motions were too many to come before a body at one time. As the rules stood,the fol. lowing motions could como bofore the body ‘The original mwotion, the first amendment, tho sccond amondmont, the substitute, the amendment to tho substitute, 4 motiou to lay on the table and the previous question. He wanted the ameudment to the substituto lopped off, and moved that be done, The amoudment was snowed under and the report as submitted was adopted. Dr. Neely stated that he was dofeatod on this same point four years ago, when Dr. Buckley wus against im. Hoe was glad the latter had been converted, Dr. Buckiey at ouco insisted that he had been misrepresented aud demanded an op- portunity to square bimself. hey WL Joke, Bishop Fewler said ho could havo the floor in order to set himself right if ho could do it The wording of the ruliug of the chair ex- cited muoh laughter and applause, snd Dr. Buckley got back at the bishop by romarking that tho scriptures promised Liat thoy should bo delivered from tho snare of the fowler. They also provide,” retorted Bishop Fow- lr, “that wo shall be deliverod from the notsome pestilence.’” And theu the roof rose, aud did not settle to its normal place for fully five miuutes. Dr. Buckloy coula only say that it was evideni that he was uot noisome pestilence, as he had been assigned the floor and they could not got away from him. He then exvlaiued the merely techuical orror in Dr. Neoly's stato- ment, Lule 10 was ameneded 5o as to require all monbers to address the chwr from their places, in order to do away with tho injustic caused by having certain anlegates rush down the aislo to claim the recognition of the chair- wan, A longthy discussion as to the advisubility of changing the number necessary to call au aye aud uo vote, drifted into the matter of cqual representation of the clergy and laity in the conforence. The laymen maintained that they were in 100 small a minority to acquiesée in tho change called for by the proachers, and would continue to oppose it until they were granted equal represvnta- tion. Tho old ruls requiring one-fourth of cither body to call the recorded vote will still obtain. A vulo was adopted forbidding anyone from standiog in the vacant places ou the floor. As the bishop expressed it, *no one could stand on the tioor except 1n occupied places. " The time of adjournmont was extended to finish the business before the bouse. ‘The newly reporied rules were formally adopted as & whole.

CHRISTIAN MISSIONS, luteresting Discussion of th Subject at Exposition Tall Last Night. The subject of Christian missions was the thome of an interesting mass inecting at x- vosition hall lust cvening. Upon the stage Were grouped representatives of nearly ory field of missionary eftort, There wero returned workers from the Indian jungles aud the African forests, from the Oricntal realms of China and Javan, and from be- neath the sunny Italian skies, They were there from Mexico and South America, from Hindostan and from tus vurious home mis- sion fields. It 1s doubtful if a band of mon and women could bo brought Logether o whose persor ality the audience would nave attached so much intercst. ey represcnted almost avery ciass of the army of men and women who' had devoted their lives to the work of roclaiming the darkest nations from heathen- 13m. Some of them had been engaged in the work forover a quarter of a century. What hardships they bad endured, what sacrifices oy had known, what dangers they nad dared for the causo was not apparent as they recoived with smiling faces the applauso that greeted them, but their hearers consid- cred it and road in tho bronzed and bearded faces of the meun and the patient, tender countenances of the women the history of tho years of wil and sacrifice, ‘The exercises were of an informal charac- tor and cousisted of short speeches by tho missionaries and some of their native con- verts who ocoupiod seats with them on tho platforni. It was an ¢xperiench mostiug and the remarks were largely of a personal char. acter. The meeting was in charge of Chap- lain McCabe, -who anuounced tho oponiug bymn. Prayer was offerad by Dr. Parke of the Indian mission, aftor which tke audi enco joined in sigiug the missionary by wn “I"rom Greenland’s Loy, Mountains.” Experienc, Bishop Taylor was the first speaker and was warmly greeted.

But times had changed sinco then. Now the missionary did not sacrifice everything. He always had friends, whatever eisé hie might lack, and the voyage from India 1o New York could be mado in twenty-five days. ‘Tnere wore times during the eurly years of his life in Inaia when he almost began to think that bLis labors wero thrown away and that he was liviug this life of self-denial and sacrifice for notbing, but now converts were coming iu at the rate of 1,000 every mouth, A Jupanese convert with an unpronounc able name came forward and spoke in bis uative language, which was interpretad by Rov.

Tie miss were blessed _with wonderful success but funds wero needed to eroct larger churches to hold tho converts. At Rome'a building was needed for a collego and theological scnool, and two sous of the great Garabaldi were already under the tuition of the missionaries, Chaplain McCabo remarked that it was about time for a woman to speak, and Sister MeNeil of tho African mission was intro- duced. ho did not look like a woman who for jcars had braved the bardships and dangers of that remote field. A quiot and reserved demeanor was added to the charm of a voice of singular sweetness. Her ad- dress consisted of & narration of some of her experiences in Africa, which wero novel and interesting. She was accompaied by an ebony picki- niny of abou fa dozen summers, who grinned uppreciatively when she was propped up on the desk and rccoived the applause of tho audicnce. “The audience cheerod for several minutes when Mrs, Dr. Parker of Indi, the founaer of the Women's Foreign Missionary society. was introduced. Mrs. Parker snoke of th dificulty that bad beon encountered in ob- taining an opportunity to bring tho heathen women of India in contact witia gospel truth, They were so closely secluded and of 80 little consequence that it was at first almost impossible to reach them., Money was needed and 10 obtain this o Women's Korcign Missionary socioty was organized to contribute “*2 cents a week and oarnest prayer’’ toward the salvation of their heathen sistors. Much had beou ac- complisbed and the prospects for the future wero bright. Lev. Mr. Drocso spoke of the South American missions and introduced 0110 of his native converts, who spoke briefly in his language. 1t was then announced that another meet- ing of the same character would bo held dur- ing the conference to give the people an op- portunity to hear from the imissionaries who had not had time to sneak. T'ho benediction was pronounced by Di.

'his idea of baving so many bishops," said & prominent layman, “is, I think, making the oftice appear Loo cheap aud is taking the dignity and importance out of it. The laymen ere aiso largely in favor of district ing tho work and placing the bishops in pre- seribea districts for four years ata time. This matter is sure t come up. Thera is & feeling that better results can be attainea by having the bishops remain in one field for the four years iustead of changing about at tbe will of the board of bishops. ‘T'he contest over the editorial chair of the Central Christian Aavoscate seems to have narrowed down to about four caudidates, al though there ure others in the field who way develop & good deal of strength.

But instead of following this law former comptrollers have imserwod the amounts of sanction of the chairman of the finance com mitteo. This was the way the Squires bill got into the appropriation.

Stroot 1800, as vou will seo by a vesolution adopte® by the Bourd of Public Works last Marco. When I was a member fof the council 1 wa aware of tho uill veing fought by P. W, Birkhauser, chairman of tho Bourd of Pub: lic Works. ' Ho protested agaiust its ullow ance, while two other members, Mossrs. Puray and Egvert, allowed it. It was a proved by the city council nnd passed twico over the mayor's voto in 1500 and 1801, “When the resolution was sent to me, signed by Mr. Birkhauser and attested by the socretary, after having been unanimously adopted, I naturally considered that action sottled the mattor, aud that it authorized me to 1nsort tho bill 1 the appropriation ord- mance. 1 do not wantto shirk any re sponsibility, but will romark that the chair- man of ~'tho finauco committeo, as usual, read over tho appropriation and consulted withrme. In the presenco of my clorks ho mado the remark that he was glad tho old score was sottiod at ast, a8 he con- sidered that the bill should bo allowed. Ha might have asked me if 1t were all O, K. and I naturally answered ‘yes,’ otherwise ! would not have fuserted it in the ordinavco. I will further state thatat my suggestion wo began Lo introduce two ordivances the first Tuesday in each month, one exclusively 10 pay employes and oflicials, and tho other o puy oxpenses of the city, and I argued with many wembers of the council tho desir. ability of having the last ordinance read th first and second time and then laid over for a week to give the members a chauce to ex- amino the various bills, but tho council thought otherwise. This would very likely haye stopped the payment of the Squires bill if the council had 50 desired it. 1 have tho utmost respect for Mr. Jacobson and know ho did not moean to ao any thins wrone. His intentions were all right, bat we are all liale to make mistakes.” Tho resolution refcrrad to by Mr. Olsen is as follow: OMANA, Mareh 8. Council of the City of Omalin: Gen With re 1o the E.
