PRODUCT OF CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION Large Attendance of Delegates—Work Mapped Ouc—Address of Welcome nnd the Response—Hearts that Have W Christinn Throb, ®Oh, earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.” The eighth biennial session of the Woman's Homo and Foreign Missionary society of the goneral synod of the Evangelical Lutheran church in the United States opened at the Kountze Memorial church last night. A consecration meoting, led by Mrs, S. B. Bel- mer of Cincinnati, was held at 7:30 o’clock, the lesson being from Psalm X'V At 8 o'clock the opening vices began in the church proper, with the reading of the seriptures from Psalm ¢, followed by the rendering of Hymn e by the choir and by rayer, il Address of Welcome, Mrs. A. J. Turkle of Omaha made the ad- dress of welcome. Mrs. Turkle said: “Mrs, President, Delegates and Visitors to the Convention: “In behalf of the societies and churches of the general synod in Omaha, Grace, St. Mark's and Kountze Memorial ani our sister church, St. John's of Council Bluffs, I extend 10 you s hearty welcome, Welcome to our church, to our city and to our homes, to all the comfort and cheer we can give you. “'We think oursclves fortunate and happy in having your presence and fellowship, Great honor is conferred upon us by your presence, coming as you do with such rich ex- periences of divine favor, to plan for greater efficienoy in tho advancing of Chrits’s king- dom. Sometimes theso conventions are asked for because of local pride, but,dear friends,wo ask because of local need. Some people say: ‘What is the good of aconvention? Well, God found it of some use when Elijah was discouraged to tell him that there were 7,000 men who had not bowed the knee to Baal. Sometimes the olaer workers in the church and socioty become discouraged and the younger have not tried, so it 1s 4 good thing 1o know that wo are a partof a mighty army of God's people who still work and pray on. 5o the sight of your countenances, bright- ened by faith iu tho Lord Jesus and gloritied with the hope of divine benediction, must animate us, quicken our missions al and stimulate to new endeavor. He in the ‘Gate city of the west,’ at the very entrance of our home field, we greev you, knowing from oxperience and observation what good home missions have done for us and stll continue to benefit, “In this city the first mis Missouri was planted, in th and trust, by ‘Allegheny synod, before ever we were or- ganized us & woman's society or even 4 board d its work. This is home mission ground and this 18 the first time youas a gen- eral society have met on the border land of the great west. S0 we welcome you in an espe- cial manner to this great west, teeming as it does with its ttousands of souls. Our needs and future aro great,as you will see in Jooking over the harvest field. ‘We give you fair notice that we anticipate receiving moro than we give, although we give you all wo can. Idonot believe that the twelve apostles could have wet together after Pentecost to consult about their work without leaving & blessing behind them, and I know as you come to consider the oppor- Tunity aud nceds for greater service in m sions in this Columbian year your discus- sions and decisions, your conversation and your example, will be & stimuius and inspir- ation to the socicties and churches. “‘The earth is the Lord’s by right, and it is given us today tosend the gospol and mis- sionaries to declare His possession and lead men to acknowledge it. We can hear the call even as wo listen, and how mightily it comes, and how humanity is stretching its hands to God, the God whom we serve and in whose name we are this evening assembled. The church must prepare a way and reapers, 1o put in the sickles, for lo! the field is white for the harvest and we as women want to do our part in the grand work. Thus let' our deliberations at this convention be rich in methods to pursue and plans for future ef- fort. Let us come to know one another and our hearts grow warm within us as we work for Christ and the church. “Friends, again in the name of the churches, I welcome you to our cuf, our homes, to our hospitality, and 1 welcome You to tho contemplation of the opportunity and needs of che mission field, at home and . abroad.” Mrs, Badgley Rosponds, Mrs. J. B. Badgley of Middichurgh, N. Y., yesponded in o felicitous manner to the gracious address just quoted. Mrs, Badgley said in pare: ** ‘Westward the star of empire takes its robably not since the days of its utter- ance has this a had greater significasce than in this Columbian year, with the new life and meaning hich this age of progress breathes into old truths, may we noL accept a moro pertinent meanivg in these 'ds, and claim for them such an interpretation as may apply their truth to tno gathering here assembled, This elghth convention of the Wo- man's Home and Foreign Missionary society, of our general synod, has caught their inspiration and unswered with hearty response to the invitation of the west, * *» As wo recall the beginning of this organ- fzation and follow it through the existence, we cannot fail to offer our tribute of praise and hearty thanks to our faithful @xecutive committee and other officers, the most of whom have been associated with the society since its organization, * 4 * “For Just this work, which woman can do, the church has waited long. The church has been 50 slow to interpret the Master's message, ‘She Hath Done What She Could.” So long has the prejudice of silence in the church been nurtured and instilled, :lul iv is not so easy for all to wake out of oo “lsducation must be Instituted anda per- petusted. * * * * For we have reached that point in our history where there is but one condition for us to recognize. It is *On- ward. The time is past when intelligent Christian women can maintam a passive attitude toward the mission: operations of the church and fulfill a reasonable serv- fee, It is unquestionably clear that sho must ilo the work.” Prosidont’s Address, After the singing of tho first, second ana hird versesof hymn the president, A. V. Huntor'of Columbia City, Ind., read her address, a part of which is quoted below: “Thanks to the gracious providence ‘Phat brings us here onco more; For memories of the good behind, And hopes of good before.” #My Dear Co-Workers: In tho spirit of Mary of oid, let us humbly how at His feet, bringing the procious tribute of love and adoration aud gratitude for the tender mer- cies vouchsafed us since last we met in con- vention, and that we have been so honored in the divine recognition shown the lubor of ho womon of our beloved church, “Wo have assembled from the east, the west, the north and the south to tell to each other what great things God hath wrought; 10 joyfully note tho progress of the different phises of our work; to carofully recount each step of the Jjourney of tho past two years' work, und jirofiting by the mistakes Of the past; to logislate for future useful. noss, praying that the blossing our heavenly Father may rast upon our labors. “And why should we not thus meet for a westful season of rejoicing over dificulties overcowe, preat achievements attained in tnuecnv.mg the great work we are called ot . 0 . . .

The fourth, fifth and sixth verses of hymn 432 were then sung by the choir. Then came thereception of credentials and the of- fering, and the services closed with the singing o! the Doxology by the convention and the bmediction by Rev A. J. Turkee.

There were flowers in profusion, while mhisic lent its charms to the occasion. Commencement exercises of the Omaha High school have always been features of the educational life of this citv. Each class that has gone out from its alma mater has alded as “‘the highest and best body and girls ever graduated.” But s could be superior to tho [ three young men and women who were presented with diplomas last evening by tho vice president of the Board of Education. The “sweet girl graduate” of last nvening was a vision of tulle, roses, loveliness and hope. Arter the march of the graduates to their on tha stage to the music of the or- ra and the entrance of the representa- tives of the schools of the city, Prof. Homer Lowis, Superintendent Frank Fitzpatrick, Hoenry C. Akin, 0sq., acting president of the school board, and Dr. Joseph T, Duryea, the exercises of the evening were commenced by lred Van Horn, whoso oration, “The Touch of a Button,” was thoroughly well considered. lison DIA the Rest, Commencing with a recital of President Cleveland’s opening of the Columbian exposi- tion by touching n button, he traced tho evolution of electricity and the manifold uses llo which it is pus in these latter century da, When Ben Frankiin for an afternoon's amusement,” said the young orator, “hitched the lightning to the tail of his kite he littlo thought that he had captured a sprite more potent than Ariel and that through this ap- parently most intractable of the elements would be wrought deeds before which the magic of Merlin would pale and seem com- mon place.” “We seem determined that mental pro- cesses shall keep pace with mechanical con- trivances, and great results with little ex- ertion seem to be the universal aim. This staté of affairs causes many veople to take a very pessimistic view of things generally and to d re that men are losing strength mentally and physically; that it is only a question of time when, because of the little need we have of using thom, both our brain and musele will entirely ppear, as did the tails with which Darwin credited our ancestors. We are willing to recognize as a benefactor the man who malkes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, but we hail asa god the man who enables us to do in one mimute what before took two to accomplish, And why not¢ Who saves time saves life, for time is the stuff that life is made of.” Hittie D2 Graff and Nellie French with delighviul technique Beetho- “Sonata Pathetique op. 18" for four hauds. The young ladies were not flurried and the selection showed that notwith- standing the young women had their hands fullof the “‘ologies” and “isms" they still had time enough to look after their music. Pen Picture of a Society Man, “The Modern Society Man" was the felici- tous title of Miss Loulse Mathewson's essay, and the scoring that Lot house flower re- ceived from this young woman was thor- oughly enjoyed by the representative audi- ence phat filled the opera house from pit to tery. Delivered in a dignified, well ar- ticulated manner, it wasa positive hit not- withstanding the picture was somewhat dis- torted. “No one would fancy for a moment that the society man of today sprang like Minerva from the head of Jupiter,” was Miss Mathowson's openinz thought. “The birth of the society man ns we know him, occurred years after the Liberty bell had swung and rung. He did not spend his babyhood 1n antique rockers and crawl through infancy on bare floors.” Picturing a scenc at a crush, sho thus painted the hero of her essay: “He swayed her whito plumed fan and she toyed witia the chrysanthemum, odorless, but stylish. But he broke tho thread of romance which my fancy had dared to weave by saying: ‘Beastly hot, isn’'t it? Didn't see you at the A's last night. Dull, but the feed was immense.’ Then the strain of an opening dance stole forth and the society man said: ‘May I have this waltz? The broadeloth arm then went around the brocade waist.” Otis G. Whipple, a manly young follow with an oxcellent voice, aeclaimed e Un- known Speaker,” a wonderfully clever story of the signing of the Declatation of Inde- pendence. The pleasing feature of the ovening was the selection that came next, a violin duet, “Andante Cantabile,” by Mr. Bert Butler, o member of tho graduating class, and N Iirth G. Schwantz, with Mr. Frank Riley as accompanist, Castles of Etherzal Bulld, Miss Marion H. Schibsby built for her friends a series of “‘Castles in Spain” that quite won the fancy of the audience. She prefaced her essay with the thouzht that her castles were not like the Alhambra or some of the ruined homes of gone kings, but her castles were buiit out of summer skies and fleecy clouds. Harrison Oury, president of the class, | which has for "its motto *‘Semper Agite, followed, after an orchestral number, with an oration entitled, “Does it Pay?” a most creditable} effort on the part of the young orator, In the course of his oration, Mr. Oury said: *“The Americans are pre-emi- nently a commercial people; they are pos- sessed of the fierce energy of industrial ana material progress. They do not stop with material things. They place the dollar mark on mind and matter alike and scem to think that the only road to success and hap- piness is the road to wealth, Visit the high schoois of the country; you will find the aduating classes composed mainly of girls, here is but one explanation for ‘this, the boys nave left school to engage in some'com- mereial pursuit which brings them the vast sum of $0 per mouth and in return leave them intellectual dwarfs. ““T'he social problem like the myvthical Bri- areus lifts its hundred hands syith threaten- ing aspect. Political dissensions, and the insidious power of mouey assail the state, Financial “heresies threaten to undermine the foundation of credit; the result of u prize fight is waited for with breathless ex- pectation by thirty millions of people,” Miss Ada M. Stone recited Longfellow's “King Robert of Sicily” most artistically, Miss Eloise Clark, who is possessed of a Sweet soprano voice, sang with charming effect Nevin's bright composition, *One Spring Morning,” and a madrigal by’ Cham- 1nale, g Th Advertixing as an Art. “A Modern Art” was the subject of Miss Georgia Lindsey’s essay, which she efined as the “art of advertising.” In many re- spects this was the paper of the evening, and received close attention from the audi- ence. It was conscientious in treatment and what is most galling painted in true colors. *As early as Dryden’s day authors dared to dabble in merchandise—-would that they had been as early confounded—but now for the first time in the history of human events werchauts are turning their hand at letters; Not content with the pencil, they have taken up the brush, so that advertising is proparly 4 very witches' broth of lotters, arts and scienc The advertiser him- self defles classifi on. He neither claims nor desires the title of author or journalist; yet, sirange to say, he furnishes a large portion of newspaver reading matter, and without him the newspaper would floucish little longer than the Au\ver of the field. There Is a certain contemporary of his who flies in the vory face of nature with his sign boards and his little pot of paint. He leaves ‘tongues in Lrees, ks in the running brooks, sermons in stones,’ and ads on everything.” Street car advertisements, posters and newspaper advertisewnents re- ceived treatment at her hands as well as the sandwich gentlemen who perambulate our streets. **But most entertaining of all,” said this gifted Joung wouan, “are the want column advertisements of the daily press ‘of the Yeoplu,b the people aud for the people.’ Jlosing she tritely remarked: *Our Tenng- Sous are at present engaged in writing ouk 10 s0ap, our Raphaels are making pictures for Redfern, our Michael Angelos are model- ing wax works 'ur'mwnmll 44 Socialismilof the Fatare.

It was aghowghtful treatment of the question and stgwéd the mature mind of the young man, whd sbas been considerable of a prodigy sinco his babyhood.

Dr. J. T. Duryea. on bshalf of the Board of Education, then occupied the platform for a few minutes in an carnest talk of tho trust reposed by the people of Omaha in the members of the Board of Education. “It ought to be your privilege to call the noblest tho best of your fellows to direct Lhis trust, There aro deop feelings which would become strong emotions did time permit, but I might _touch your hearts by describing what [ saw once, A stranger came to me and asked me to talk to the people about the new educa- tion. Tasked him where 1 would find the people and he said on a festival day to be provided for. And I went. It was the day bofore the schools opened, when the leafago was at its choicest, when nature was at its best. The parcuts were there and the child- ren too, and speeches were made. This was the truly Grecian way of conducting such thingsand I would that Hanscom park nnght ring with the voices of children, with band music to celebrate the opening of ecach term of school.” Triple Alliance of Education. The doctor then passed to an explanation of the new education proviously referred to and the manner in which the new culture is t0 bo obtained. *Tho home, the school and the church should be a tri‘unit. Does tho school yet rank with the home and_ the church? Tho very moment you think of this, parents, you should take only the best you can get and ordain_them 1ikd a priest at the altarto educate and vrain your boys and girls, Tregard the kindergarten as the extension of the home. I have no pa- tience with that sordid materialism, that says teach tho boys and girls to geta livine. The best we are, the best we have and the best we are to be comes tous through the common schools. Could the members of the city council look upon this picture they would vote us all the money we neoded for the education of our boys und girls, holding us, of course, to a strict accountabihity i order to make us an honest man, belong to the clergy, and I haveno sympathy with the complait’ that these schools of ours are godless. Pay your taxes without grumbling, and pour into our hands all the money to make these schools the wmost favored in our progressive land.” Class of 9 The graduating class then arose and with a few fatherly words from Dr. Duryea the diplomas were presen The class of '03 is composed of the followin e Althavs, Selma ns, Mabel Hellman, Abl Bowen, Millie Hilmes, Selena Burns, Abby Hodgetts, Eloise Clark, Jennie -Hultman, Selma Dahl- strom, Kate Humphrey, Clara Davenport, Rosina Lehning, Hitiie DoGraff, Emma Levi, Jennie Donaldsop, Georgin Linds: Bessie Dunn, Louise Matthewson, Clara holm, Agnes McKay, Elva Fisher, Meyer, Nellic French, Georgie Park, 4 amble, Lucile Parmer, Jeannette y abeth Philipps, Anna Pickard, M.

Mike Leonard favorite over George Reynolds. Billy Ernest had large number of admirers, but Billy Vernon, the Haverstraw brickmaker, was a slight favorite over Ernest. Jim Daly, former sparring partner of Jim Corbett, had a large following, but the Philadelphia men almost to a unit backed Butler, the colored man. This bout was considered the leading event of the evening. There was a crowd of 5,000 when proceedings were begun. At twenty minutes to 9 Goorge Reynolds and Mike Leonard opened the first bout. Both displayed considerable science and were gluttons for punishment. TLeonard was the stronger in the ninth and after opening up o big gash in Reynolds’ checl, pounded him about the ring until he had him out, ‘T'he men scarcely left the ring, when Billy Vernon popped up on the stuge and was heartily applauded. While the crowd was still cheering Irnest and his seconds came. The men opened cautiously. It was a purcly scientific contest. In the fourth Krnest started to force matters, but Vernon was so clever that he could not prog The fifth witnessed some lovely exchanges with honors asy. In the sixth Vernon had decidedly best of the points. In the seventh round Vernon appeared to freshen up considerably. He started in to rush matters but was fought into his corner. In the eighth and last round Ernest showered blows upon Vernon, The final bout of the evening was betweon Butler and Daly. Round 1—Daly feinted several times and a clinch followed. Daly followed up with a smash and landed his left on the colored man’'s J and was countered lightly by the colored man on the jaw. Daly was by far the cleverest.
