Sk ‘ Awmflm Christ in our : 2 CHRIST THE ALL ANDIN ALL Moral Law Embodied in Jesus of Nazareth, the Faultiess Ensample, FIRST PRESBYTERIAN'S NEW PASTOR Whore Rov, Mr. Patterson Ta At Theolog- fonlly—Ho Belloves in the Contessi of Faith--Orthodox Discourse of the Pauline Compiexion, The IMirst Presbyterian church has a new tor. Yesterday morning Rev.J. M. Pat- terson entered on the duties of the cure left The o vacant by Mr. Harsha a year ago. church was filled by the congrogation greet, and others curious to seo and h the new minister. Mr. Patterson has a s caleulated to prepossess the onlooker and auditor. He is in the prime of life, healthy looking, black hair cut short, close trimmed black moustache, and in the pulpit, which is a platform, he wears tho conventional cler- 1cal garb. Both yesterday's sermon, matter and man, gave the impression of an embodi- ment of good, “wholesome, muscular Chris- tianity. At the very outset of his sermon Mr. Pat- terson told his hearers exactly “‘where he is at” theologically. He is Evangelical and Presbyterian: he didn’t mention Calvin's name, but he confessed a consuming rever- ence for the “‘Confession of Faith.,” He is an agnostic in regard to the Higher Crit- clsm; that1s, he said he didn’t know what it meant, Like St. Paul, after his failure to impress the Athenians with the gospel sugarconted with the philosophies, Mr. Pat- terson will preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified. His scripture reaaing yesterday morning was from St. Paul's leiter to the Colossians, in which the apostle makes known his famous decision to that effect. His text was the closing phrase of the sec: ond verse of the third chapter of that let- ter, *But Christ is ail and in all.” a read is common- lace, to say the least; in prayer he is col- roquhll, but as a preacher he is direct, simple, earnest, forceful, heart-secking and soul- inspiring. He is no orator, he does not ‘“elocute,” but his thoughts are fresh, even profound at times, and they are expressed very eifectively. Mr. Patterson's Creed. “While it has been a joy to me and to mine to come unto you, that joy has not been unmixed with sadness at parting from others. Weare here because we believe that God through you has called us to do His work among you, and it is my hopo that the same happy relations may exist here as sweetened our labors in the field we have left. The text will be the keynote of my ministry. All Christian doctrine recognizes “ that Christ is all and in all. [ believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I also be- lieve that the Confession of Iaith contains God's message to man. 1 believe that doctrine is very essential to the Christ- fan life—as essential as the outline to the painting, the scaffolding to the building, the false work to the bridge. And I believe that in time, like these essential temporary helps, doctrine will be unnecessary. I have no sympathy with those who deny the need of doctrine, and who would seek our regard merely because of their sincerity; a man may be sincerc in belief that a special doctor's prescription may save him, but the dose he takes may poison him. 1do not be- lieve, however, in condemning those who differ from us on points of doctrine. Truth is many sided and not many of us are large enough to get around it ~wil, Different churches emphasize particular phases of the same truth. There is plent, of room for Christian charity ; large latituds should b given all. But when we rveduce all doctrines to their common element, itall comes to this: What think ye of Christ? and if you tellme your doctrine of the Christ, T know ut onve what you beliove of God, of man, of sin, of the conditions of salyation, and what vou believe as to the futare. All doctrine, as all the bible, is Christocentric.” So Mr. Patterson began his sermon. What followeu was un awmplification of this and an exposition of the Chrisv character. Christ, the Moral Law Embodied. Christ is all in all .of Christian conduct. He shows not a thought. but a fact. His life show show the moral law looks clothed in flesh and blood. He gave to the world a faultless example. His moral grandeur was acknowledged by all who came within its influence, Pilate’s wife and Pilate himself felt it. Judas felt it. The exponents of the “higher criticisn,”—what 1s the higher crit- icism? Tdon't know—are at one with Pilate and Judas in acknowledgement of the moral eminence of Christ,mightest among the lowly, lowliest among the mighty. Moses was meel, but we know he was not always weak; Job ‘was not always patient; Solomon was rot always wise, but Christ is the same yester- day. to-day and forevi Christ is all and in allof Christian service. Christianity introduced into the world a leaven of self sacritice. Previous to Christ's coming man had been self-centered. Indeed, sclfishness is the very essence of sin. But the world has been given some wonderful illustrations of self-denial. Dr. Judson, the great Baptist missionory, luboring in Bur- mabh five years without a single convert; Dr, Johnson in China, preaching seven years without a convert; Irenwus, placed between an idol and a cross and commanded to choose between them, and like his divine Master drinking the cup of martyrdom, Secrot of Personal Self-Sucrifice, What is the secret of all this service? Nothing, if it is not found in the statement of the upostl “The love of Christ con- straineth me.” Not that Christians aro in- sensible to other mot , but the secret in- spiration of the Christiun life of service is in rsonal attachment to the personal Christ, 0 constrains us to service as a loving fath constrains a dutiful son—as a brave captain constrains a loyal army. There is no otner motive that is 50 powerful as the love of Christ, When done in Christ's name and for Christ's sake, duty becomes delight and weights are transformed into wings. n endure und serve as seeing him who i8 invisible, And thus men become willing to count all things but lost that they might win Christ aud be founa in Him, and Christ becomes the all in all of Christian service. And s0 Christ is all and in all of the plan of human redemption, ‘There has always been a power in men that made for righteousness. But until Christ came the world had received no satis- factory reply to the question, how can u man be just with God? Thero are agents of sal- vation—ministers, apostles, prophots and evangelists—but there is one Savior. There aro means of gracs churches, sacraments, scriptures, hymus and psalms and spiritual songs, prayers, fastings and service, but there is one “*God of all grace,” Salvation in Cheist Alone. - Salvation 1s not to be found in any of theso cies or instruments, but in Christ. He *died for us.” Men may talk as they ploase about creed and conauct, about baptismal rogencration and redemption by good works, yet tho fact remains that there [In salvation i none othor than Christ, He is the all and in all of salvation. A man may be without the bible, without tne sac- rawents, without the services of a minister, without auy of the istruments of religion the meuns of grace, yet if he has Christ faith and love he is saved. In short, what- ver Christiunity is Christ 15, » If Christia tiul tianity is a creed, Christ is the es- docwring; if Christianity an ex- u r#‘ Christ is that perfect man; if Chris- h ty is comfort, Christ is the comforter; vistiunity is o service, Christ is the one wa servei if Christianity is a salva- tis the savior; if it is & way, L 1s ¢ wn‘y:lhlmvullalrulh.(mrlnl, the truth; if it offers life, Christ is that .

Let us re. member that churches, and confessions, and Sunday schools, and inissionaries, and’ ma- Chines and methods, and ministers and church officers are worse than nothing if they do not present to the world this Christ as the all in all. IN FAVOR OF THE CHINESE. New York Divines Declare Exclusion to Be Uniast and Cruel. New York, May 21.—The Chinese question was discussed by Rev. Madison C. Peters this morning at the Bloomingdale Reformed churc Dr. Peoters said: “In the name of God, who of one blood made all na- tions of men to dwell on the face of the earth, I protest against our unmanly, unamerican and unchristian treatment of the Chinese. They are human beings, having the same rts, affections, passions and the same erial rights as other men. When we needed cheap labor to develop our country, we begged the Chinese to come. In 1844 our government began to conx them to come. The Chinese came against all their projudices and our treat- ment of them has been one long scene of dice, brickbats, taxation and robbery. The Chineso are no worse than the same number of the same class of any other nationality in our midst. 1 vespoak for the Chinese-American fair play. Having simply failed to register, because they were mis- represented by counsel as to the constitu- tionality of the law, there is no reason why the discretionary power of the authorities shoui'l not be used o extend temporarily the period of registeation. If we have a Christian civilization let us present it to the Chinese in a Christian way. “‘We send missionaries and money to China and profess a deep interest in them thou- sands of miles away and there they are an interesting object to us; but at our doors we avoid them, and the very ministers who make the most cloquent pleas in China will, without protest, allow Chinese in America to become the victims of political cruelty. 1f the Chinaman had a vote our Jdemagogues in congress would profess great love for the Chimamen and they would go around on election day with an opium pipe sticking from their pockets.” Roy. Kdward P. Payson, one of the most eloquent of the Dresbyterian clergymen of New York, preached at the Old Canal street Presbyt n church this morning on the Chinese oxclusion law, to a large congrega- tion. He brande1 the law recently adjudged as constitutional by the United States su- preme court as unjust and w Te began his sermon’ by reviewing briefly the history of the Chinese empire and its contri- butions to the world, Dr. Payson then exhaustively discussed what he claimed to be the injustice of the act, which discriminated against the Chi- n and yet admitted the immigrants from o, “Wo tomblnod with the Enropean nations break down tho Chinese wall barring arming con- ney, we build o wall against the Chinese. We, children of immigrants—we immigrants of 1620—say to the immigrants of 18! ¢ 1ot come here.” When did The inherent and { men to change their ziance was recognized in our 1868 “By the terms of this treaty the United States induced the Chinese to come to our shores, and in later years, when the hood- lums of San Francisco provested against Chi umigration being open in a second treaty, said that while it could and would regulate Chinese immigration, it would never ~ prohibit it. Thus have we, o Chiristian nation, broken faith with China, whom in our righteousness we have designated as a nation of pagans, but even if we had the right to exclude and de- port the Chinese, we haven’s the power. No act of congress can keep them out. Wo tried to convert the Chinamen; many have been converted, yet I say you cannot convert him and then pitch him into the Pacific.” CAUSE OF - DISSENSION. Dramatic Tncident In tho Service of & Washington Church Yosterdny. WasniNeros D. C., May 21.-—The absorb- ing topic in church circies tonight is a sen- sational incident which occurred this morn- ing in the First Presbyterian church, the pastor of which is Rev. Dr. Sunderland. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity, in the congrezation being many commis- sioners to the general assombly. The presi- dent and Mrs. Cleveland, accompanied by Rev. Dr. Merele Smith, pastor of the church attended . Cleveland in New York, and Rev. J. hurber, a brother of Private Secretary Thurber, were present. Dr. Smith had been invited to_preach the sermon, and vook for his text: “Bear ye one another's burdens.” He spoke at length on the evangelization of the musses, stating that one-half of our population was out of the chureh; 75 per cent of our young men and two-thirds of the laboriug clusses not being withiu its influence. The average Presbyto- rian church of 115 members, he said, was bringing in only eight additional members o year. At the conclusion of Dr. Smith's address, Dr. Sunderland said: *Tam surc we have all enjoyed Dr. Smith's sermon this morning, but there is owe important ommission; he neglected to state the cause of the dissension and distraction in the Presbyterian church at this time—the reason why the church has failed to accomplish whai it ought to, I want here and now to state thecause.

Y., May 21.—In the presence of the congregation that crowded the im- mense tabernacle this morning, Rev. 1. De- Witt Talmage oficially announced that the floating debt of the tabernacle had been liguidated and that his remaining with the church as its pastor was assured, It had been pretty generally understood that the necessary money had ' been raisod, but the announcement coming from the doc. tor himself created a furore of excitement among the congregation, Cheer upon cheer was given by tho large congregation and it was some time before he could continue, The cheering wus repeated with emphasis when the divine added that he would continue as pastor. Dr. Duryoa is Sovere, The learned and usually suave pastor of the First Congregational church allowed himself the privilege of getting almost angry at yesterday morning's service.

Minlster Gigault's Opinion on French-Cana- dinn fmmigration and Annexation. Hon. A Gigault of Quobec, deputy minister of agriculture of the Dominion of Canada, and a member of the rogal commis- sion now in Omaha, is a recognized authority on the subjects of immigration and agricul- ture in theland of the maple leaf. In response to a request for an interview upon these and and other subjects, Mr. Gigault expressed his views quite freely to o Bes reporter last evening. “Itis truo that many 'French-Canadians have immigrated to the United States within the past few years,” said Minister Gigauit,with a trace of regret in his utter. ance. “Many of them, however, looked be- fore they leaped hey hired other men to look after their farms in Canada_and then crossed the lino into this coun- try in search of a realization of the wonderful stories of American resources and opportunities for making fortunes or better their financial condition. Some of those who had no farms came also, while many Canadians of other vocations besides that of farming caught tho immigration im- pulse, Notwithstanding the fact that many remained in the United States, I find that many also returned to Canada after a short absence, especiaily the farmers, who scemed glad to raturn to their native soil. ““The McKinley bill drove many Canadians to one of two aiternatives,” continued Mr. Gigault. “One was to give up rnlllnfi cereals for export to the Unite States, and confine their farming duties to dairy products, or else migrate across the line. Most of the Canadian farmers, how- ever, who chose the former of those alter- natives and devoted vheir cfforts to dairy products, were gratified at the result of their experiment. It proved profitable to them. The idea soon becamo popular, Canada sent more cheese to Klnglana last year than the United States did. Statistics will substantinte my assertion. The cereal crops in Canada have naturally fallen off, for the reasons I have mentioned. Most of the farmers in the Dominion are abandoning wheat raising and devoting their attention almost exclusively to dairy products, The average cost of good farming lands in our country ranges from 30 to #0 per acre, Some of the government lands in certain localities 1 have known to sell for 80 cents per acre. Inmy recent trip through Kansas I found that most of the farms in that state were heavily mortgaged. In Canada tho comparisou i3 the roverse as a rule.” “How is the sentiment in Canada, at pres- ent, on the subject of anuexation?’ asked the reporter. *'Oh, the annexation movement has died a natural death,” said the distinguished Can- adian with unaisguised loyalty to his gov- ernment. ‘‘For a while sthe maritime prov- inces were favorable to it. There are some annexationists in the Dominion now, but they are not of sufficient prominence or in- fluence to mold popular sentiment to any serious extent. Thoe majority of the citizens in our country are loyal to the present gov- ernment and would doubtless strongly re- sent any attempt to distupt it. Of course, ‘there is no unanimity of opinion on this subject. Sentiment is divided. But I say, freely and knowingly, that if the question of annexation was sub- anadian public today it would be overwhelmingly ted. ince ofiQuebec, be: ty manifested, but in the maritime provinces the subject of aunex- ation at one time seemed to meet with ap- proval of some of tho citizens. The senti- ment at present throughout the Dominion is opposed to annexation. Canadians, however, entertain kindly feelings toward this coun- try and its citizen “I am favorably impressed with Omaha and Nebraska. Everything here has a sur- face indication of business prosperity. T spent a portion of today over in Council Bluffs, getting a practical idea of the prohi- bition question which our commission is in- vestigating. I found that Council Bluffs was not exactly ruritanical in its observation of the Sabbath. Many saloons were open and 1 made a mental note of the fact.” ——— WILLIAM SOHMIDT SUTCTDES. & Young Woman Would Not Go to the Park with Him. Just because a young woman refused to spend the afternoon with him at the park yesterday Willilam Schmidt, a baker, shot and instantly killed himself. The dead man was about 24 years old and had been employed at Kuenne's bakery on South Sixteenth street for the past three years. I'or some little time he had been paying attention to Mary Lewis, a young woman who clerked in the bakery, and when he had finished his work at noon he asked Miss Lewis to accompany him to the park. Upon being refused Schmidt left the storo without a word and went directly to his room at 845 South Seventeenth street. An hour or so afterward the other inmates of the house heard a shot and rushed into the room. Schmidt lay on the bed with a good-sized bullet hole in his right temple. From appearances it was evident that Schmidt had sat down on the edge of the bed and then fired the shot which caused his death, The young man's parents, who live at 1468 North Twenty-eighth street, were notified after the body had been taken to the morgue. Miss Lowis was considerably shocked to hear of the affair, but said that she hardly thought her refusal to go to the park had anything to do wivh it. She also said thav Schmidt had not been keeping company with her, and she never had considered him 1 the light of a lover. In speaking about the young man Mr. Kuenne said he was a hard-working, indus- trious man and had been a faitkful employe. He hardly knew what to think about the affaw and knew of no reason why Schmidt, should have taken his life. Sheriff Bennett will hold an inquest at 10 o'clock today. e a— NO SCARCITY OF MONEY, Mr, M, L. Rooder, Back from the East, Re- ports the Recent Crists Well Over. Mr. M. L. Roeder returned yesterday from a six weeks trip through the cast, during which he visited New York, Boston, Phila- delphia, Washington and Chicago. He nwde the trip in the interest of a big enter- prise in which he was partially successful, notwithstanding the depressed condition of tern money market. “‘While there is u great stringency in the money market throughout the east,” said Mr. Ioeder, “every day shows a decided im- provement. Banks, like individuals, became frightened for o time, but now that con- fidence is returning, the worst being over, business promises to be moving as smoothy as ever within a few weeks. There is no scarcity of money, It istied up just now, but there is every indication that the crisis isover and that the west will get all of the money needed in a very short time, “'Omaha and the contral west stand very bigh in the money markets. Omaha, in addition w being known as the wicked city, is also known as a very couservative and substantial city. The failures at Sioux City and Minneapolis have not been chirged against Omaha and the central west, and this section will not sufferin the least by the failures in those sections,” Mr. Roeder spent a few days in Chicago, Hesays there is much of interest at the World's fair now, but that the show will not bo in shape for a month yet.

A veritable Sa- harie simoon, laden with pulverized real estate, swept con- tinuously over the diamond, rendering any- thing like clean or effective play out of the question. Deapite this horriblo meteorolog- 1cal condition, however, the Second Infantry team of Fort Omaha, and the Nonpareils of this city, met on the military campus and for nine innings indulged in one of the hottest and most stubborn battles that has ever taken place on these grounds. And it was witnessed, too, by a large and enthusiastic crowd, who stuck to their posts in spite of the smothering, blinding and suf- focating typhoon, until the last man was virtually hit in the head with an ax. It was the second of a series of three games between the two teams for the cham- pionship of the city. Last Sunday the South Side lads turned the trick successfully and this time the army reversed mattors. S0, as it now stands, it is hoss and hoss. Next Sunday will decide the momentous question of superiority, and the game will be played at Noupaveil park on Vinton street. Of course the city chaps thought they had a lead pipe.

Rosult of Stratogy. It wasalla part of a deep laid scheme hatched at a council of war 1 Major Gen- eral Wright's tent night before last and successfully carried out by those model ofi- cers, Brigadier McElvain, Colonel Duberry, Captain McGiniss and their aides. Who would ever expect these guardians of the home of the brave and the land of the free of being parties to such a diabolical plot? Not I. Jerry Denny Mahoney, Champion Jack McAuliffe and Kid Lavey, too, piayed as if thoy were trying to cleanse themselves of a lot of yellow paint with which they became smeared at the last picnje at Ruser’s, rather than hang another bunch of .curls at David Shanahan’s belt. { But en passant, Captain Dave was missing from the ranks, and maybe that was the cause of it. And Jellen, too, he wasn't feeling his oats any too plenty, and kept gulping in great, big mouthfuls of dust, sand, sticks, leaves and flying debris from the city, Just as if he ox- pected to get fat on that sort of a diet in- stead of pitching ball. - ‘Why, those bloodthiraty bluecoats smashed him for fourteen ldrge.and corpulent hits, with a couple of homers; mixed indiscrimin- ately among them.

The colonel didn’t linger long at Jack Mc- Auliffe's post, but dashed boldly for third, and made iv too, joining General Trapper on the bench a moment later on Mr. coy's wild and untamed throw. The South Sido heroes did their work right over again in the second, but not so with Grover Cleveland’s myrmidons. They simply piled up four more tallics, big us balloons, and fairly rolling in fat. Buffalo Willie Cody walked down, and went to second on Captain MeGiniss' sacri- ficial tap. Corporal Hasler drove his tele- phone pola viciously, but ineffectually through that disphanous substance so wont to play with one's whiskers. Brigadier Mc- Livain followed Adjutant Cody’s example, however, and accepted a pass to first; then Jollen soaked Major General Irapper tno second time, and Colonel Duberry, Sargeant Shea and Major Tichnor followed with safe drives, and the result was those four olea- ginous tallies I spoke about.

Debs of Terre Haute, Ind., has been in New York several days consult- ing friends and old timo associates concern- ing the details of the organization of the American Railway union, a now labor order, Mr. Debs was socrotary and tregsurer of tho Brotherhood of Locomotive Firomen for a dozen years, but though unanimously re- elected last fall, vesigned. Inaninterview Mr. Debs said that al though there are in the United Statos from 800,000 to 1,000,000 railway employes, not more than 15,000 are members of raiirond or- ganizations. Mr. Debs gavo as the reason for the small memberships in the various orders now in existence that their machinery was too cumborsome and altogether too oxpensive. There was also, he said, too much one-man power in the present organizations. Mr. Dobs added that it was proposed to gather all branches of railroad employes into the new order, and that its expenses would be reduced to the minimum. There would be no initiation feo and as few officers as possible. The organ- ization will not ve a ‘‘wecret, oath-bound society,” but each member will be bound by his simple word. How to Reduce Exponses. Coutinuing, Mr. Debs said: “We shail re- duce expenses oy consolidating in the matter of halls and moeting places. Thero is no reason why, in any city where there isa number of railroad organizations, each should f a hall of its own. ‘‘We shall have a meeting place in each city where all organizations may meet. In a big city like New York or Chicago we can better afford to own a building in which there may be two or three or more halls, if sary, so that as many organizations as o may meet at the sime time. Those, of course, need not take up tho entire build: ing, and if they do not we can rent the un- occupied part at such terms as will give us something of an income, Ve shall establish a daily newspaper in 1s0 u tho interest of railroad empioyes and monthly magazine. Our daily ne will be published in Chicago. ‘The ready in abundance and the plans completed. 1t will not be a lavge newspaper, but it will be large enough to contain, not only the news of the lubor world and the ilvond world in_parvicular, but all the essentiul telegraphic news of the day as well. We shall furnish this paper at the cost of production, our object in publ it not being profit’ in_any seuse, except to the men who support it, and we beliove they will profit by the possession of such a news- paper. about Contents of the Paper. We shall not run especially to editorials, but shall make news our chief feature, though, of course, we shall di questions of general interest. The macazine will be run on the same lines as far as prico is con- cerned, as tho daily, but 1t will necessarily not be so much of a medium for the distribu- tion of news, “The newspaver will sell for a cent and the magazine will be put out at the lowest possible figure. Another feature of the ed- ucational department will be the monthly meetings, which will, to a large extent, if not altogether, take the place of the ordi- nary weekly lodge meetings. To these meetings all members of the order in the town where they are held will be invited arnd they will be addressed by the heads of tho districts on such subjects as are of vital interest to workingmen. We believe that these meetings will stimulate the thought of railroad men greatly. ‘A meeting for the perfection of the American Railway union’s organization will be held in Chicago on June 20, and the plans so far as they have been decided upon, may be roughly outlined.as follows: Organized by Districts, The entire country will be divided into districts, of which there will be twelve. From Chicago twelve organizers, one from each district. will be sent out and they will g0 from center to center organizing first dis- trict headquarters, or capitals, and after this is done, headquarters for subdivisions. The boundaries of the divisions have not yet been fixed. The subdivisions will be sub- ordinate, of course, to the district capitals, and each subordinate ization will be entitled to delegates in proportion to its membership, suy one to every 200, “There ~ will be no yearly state conventions mnor grand ‘conventions— these cost from ®35,000 to $60,000, but there will be a quadrennial convention of the entire order, and sixty days before the holding of a quadrennial convention the lodges or unions will elect delegates, who will meet at the district cap- itals, and' choose delegates to the quadven- nial convention. Each district will be enti tled 1o delegates in proportion to its mem- bership. It is supposed that the quadren- nial convention shall do its work in a day or At most two days, and that its business shall be mainly the election of a board of direct- ors of twenty or thirty practical railroad men. To this board of directors will be en- trusted the business of the order. “We propose to make this an organization of rugged workmen, We shall study econ- omy. We shall include every branch of rail- road employment from the lowest to the highest, and without dowg away with special organizations, we shall strive to bring all under one common fold, The first quadrennial convention of the American Railway union will be held next fall.” OPPOSED TO THE O, R.

Chief Ramsoy of the telegraphers said today that he believed the matter wowld be peace- ably settled, The ofticials of the road deny absolutely that there is any ¢round for the complaints of the men and say they do not eare whether the men are members of the order or not. ‘Ihe uncasiness on the part of the men has oxisted for sume time, No threats of a strike have been made as yet and the men are anxiously awaiting the result of tomorrow's conference, U S AN Campania Disabled.
