= FAULTS OF THE CHURCH Euggested by Youne Men and Diecussed by Dr. Patterson Last Night. AGREES WITH CRITICS IN SOME POINTS ronchers Who Are in “the Show Tusi- ness'—~Too Much Sectarianism on Earth, bat None In Heaven— Quack Christians, At the First Presbyterian church last night Rev. J. M. Patterson gave the second | talk in his discussion of the letters written by the young men explaining why they sta away from church, The interest nianifested in these discussions is revealed not only by the large congregations that crowd the church to its utmost capacity, but also by the letters received by Mr. Patterson in commenaation of his work. A special mu sical program i arranged for each of theso services and proves a pleasant feature, The discussion last night was lhmited to the faults and failings of the church us secn by the young men. Many young men com plained of the excess of dogma in the teach- ing of the ciurch, Mr. Patterson argued that doctrine was essentiul to spiritual and moral life just as the skeleton is necessary to the body, But le agreed with the young men that the preaching should be practical, and that only essential doctrine should be eiven any place of promine; He argued that a firm grasp of truth is the only foundation of churacter, “iAs a man thinketh in his heart so is he.” flo argued that the bigeest bigots were to be found among the boasted liberals. He called attention to the fact that no one 18 required to subseribe to the Westminster confession of faith in order to become a Presbyterian, He maintained that the best ion was the one that did the best execu- Seniational Preachers Lose Their Grip. If preachers becomo sensational they lose their grip. After o man has once gone into the show business he must continue or lose his audience Sectarianism keeps many young men out of the church. Mr. Patterson claimed that he was not a stickler for scet, Ho was a Christian first; o Presbyterian only because he thought he could do more good in that denomination than in_any other. e related Wesley's dream—how he found representatives of all ts in shell, and not o single representa- tive of any sect in heaven. He deplored scctarianism as much as any one. Especially when m a small town all denominations rush in and disgrace Chvistianity. Heo accounted for the existence of sects on the theory of “many men of many minds and the largencss of truth, Bub because thern are so many sects should not keep young men away from church any more than ihe fact that thero are four or five railronds between here and Chicago shovld prevent any one from going to Chicago. Any of those roads will take a man to Chicago”and any evangelical church has enough of the gospel to develop the Christian life and character. Some claim that they can be asgood Chris- 18 without going to church. Perhaps Can a man grow as by tak- So there are i they can, but they don’t. as strong and fat without eating ing the proper amount of food ? ‘mieans of grice.” Many young men complain of the lack of social Iife in the churches, The letters in- dicated, said the preacher, that Omaha churches are sinuners above all others in this regard. Mr. Patterson said that he had no defense to offer for a cold and unsocial church, It deserved all the abuse it re- ceived. And yet one young man was right when he said that young men were largély to blame because of their immorality. Furthermore, young men do not remain aivay from the theater because the proprietor does not greet them personally. Others com- plained of inconsistent church members. Imperfections of Christians. Mr. Patterson said: * ‘It must neceds ho that offenses shall come—but woe unto him by whom the offense cometh.' The first chiurch of twelve members with Christ as pastor had one Judas. He had the grace to go and hang himself, but modern Judases are not so obliging. The devil still sows tares among the wheat, and Christ sa1d they must grow together till the harvest. But the church makes no professionof perfec- tion, Its memvers are -composed of those that ‘are bemg saved.” Peter saw no church spirc in heaven, because they are saints there and don't need the church. And Christ says to us just as He said to Peter ‘when he objected to some followers: ‘What is thut to thee? Follow thou me.’ The ques- tion is not is the church ‘)eriuct in all iis members, but are its aims vight? “1f you are kept out of the church be- cause of unworthy members the same reason would keep yot out of the professions. Are thero not quack doctors us well as quack Christians? Apre therg not lawyers who, like necessity, know no luw? *The charge is made that preachers preach for revenue.” Mr. Patterson declared that if this were true most of them vever were able to collect the revenue. He declared that most congregations pronised the Lord thatif He would keep their preacher humble they would keep him poor. And most of them keep the promise very scrupulously. Most ministers who get large saluries could have earned twice the amount by entering othor professions, The charge that churches donot care for poor people was discussed and the preacher told the congregation that he was a work- ingman and had not forgotten the rock from ‘which he was hewn At the close of his talk Mr. Patterson drew & graphic picture of the benefit of communion with God asillustrated in the lifo of Moses, The discussibn will be con- cluded next Sunday night. ‘T'he special meetivgs of the church week evenings have been discontinued for the present, e WANT TO MARRY HIM, Bccretary Morton Deluged With Proposals. A Washington correspondent of the New York Sun thus gossips about tMe sage of Arbor lodge: “Secretary Morton 1s the most approach- able man in President Cleveland's cabinet, He is a widower, his wife having died about twelve years ago. His unmarried sister lives with him in Washiogton as she did in Ne braska, aud will represent him socially dup- {ng the season. Mr. Morton is & very frank, genial, companicaable kind of a man. He is also good looking and well to do. These at- tractive qualifications have become widely known since he has been a member of the cabinet, and his mail very often contains the most ardent love letters from women in all conditions of life in various parts of the United States. The secretary has received sentimental letters, poetical letters, businesslike leuters, and straight outand out propositions of marriage too numerous to mention. Al- most every big city in the United States has brought him & matrimonial offer, and the rural districts are daily being heéard from In some cases the ambitious spinsters and widows nave accompanied their unique pro- posals with their photowraphs. Tho secre tary has put these under lock and key, but he often reads extracts from his intercsting warriage correspondence to his personal frieuds. He enjoys the novelty of the let ters, ond the most interesting of thom he mails to his sous and daughters and grand- children and other relatives in Nebrask Michigan, Chicago and elsewhere for their amusement and instruction. When the love letters ure rev d his sister puts them in the private tles for safe keep She has nOL yet come across any proposition thut she is willing to endorse. As for the secretary, he thinks he is proof against the wiles of all his unknown cocrespondents, although, as he says. no one can tell what may happen.’ e —— e Colorado Cut ganiz DENVER, Jan, 20.—~T'he cattle growers of a El Paso, Dougiass and Jefferson counties met this afterncon av Buffulo Creek und formed associntion for their wutual protection.

The production of Morrison's ‘Faust’” yes- terday at the Fifteenth Street theater was witnessed by two immenso audiences, the matinee being the largest of the season, with the single exception of New Year'sday. And the performance made a deep impression upon those in front, for generally it v o well balanced performance, although Lewis Morrison, who is the ideal Mephisto on this side the water, is out of the cast, the part bemg played by Porter J. White, who sug- gests his teacher not a little. He has a similar to Morrison’s, and hisman- nerisms and intonations recall the elder an who gave “Iaust” its present setting. t, one of the strong characters of the stage. requiring a sterling actor to play the part, is done by Irancis J.

She shows a close ysis of the part and in her scene with her brother played with excellent judgment. Dame Martha, however, is not realized by Mrs. Tapsfield, the acidity of the woman who fell in love with his satavic majesty being but faintly expressed, the actress endeavoring to malke it a soubrette part when it should be ayed as a straight character role. ic other parts ave in capable hands and the play is presented upon a magnificent scale, the Brocken scene being among wonder achievements of the stage und the apotheosis, the translation of Marguerite on a shaft of lignt, fittingly bringing to a close a very creditable performance. Tuxedo” at Boyd's. “Tuxedo" is described on the bills asa successful minstrel farce comedy. It was successful at the Bovd last evening, but whether it is minstrel, farcical or comic is a question concerning which, there is no doubt, the lovers of real minstrelsy, real farce and real comedy would have an oppor- tunity to dispute with those who have not the highest ideals of these parts. There was much laughter and applause at the Boyd last evening. and while some of it was oslegitimate creation, much of it can only be explained on the theory that people for- get puns and Jokes. It would not do, however, to convey the impression that this performance is without excellence, but its merits are as variegated in quality as aro its costumes ana_makeups in appearance, and in one of the best parts of the entertainment the false whiskers of Oklahoma Jack, though black and glisten- ing, were not move plaiuly visible than the machinery that held them on.

The most varied assortment of humanity uuloaded at the station for months was brought in early yesterday morning for fighting. There was Jimmy Colligan from Irelan Mrs. Keiser from Germany, Wiliiam Grime from Africa and Black Horse of the Pine Ridge agency. They were all drunk, ‘They were all in a shanty on Tom Mur- ray's block and creating something of a dis- turbance. Ofticers Bruce and Drummy hap- pened along to see the cause of this. Mr. Grimes had just completed taking a bite out of Black Horse's cheek and Black Horse was ‘just after” beating Mr. Colligan, The fichting arose over a dispute as to which possessed the affections of Mrs, Keiser, cach claiming them, but as Colligan is paying the houseliold bills he claimed a prior right and _asserted humself very ener- etically. At the station a very affectionato ugging match took place within the jail enclosure, and here, as well as elsewhere, the Indian had right of way. Each was taken to a cell swearing vengeance on the others. Black Horse had just got out of the county jait for stealinz furs from Shukert some time ago. e The Rush to California Is so great nowadays that one is apt to imagine all the world and his wife are headed for the Pacific coast.

Rev. Frank Crane of Omaha delivered the sermon. The singing by the choir was excellent. The pastors of nearly all of the other churches in the city were present. Rev. J. B. Maxfield, the presiding elder of the Omaha district, was present and assisted in the services. Work was commenced on this church early last spring. The estimated cost of the build- ug was 10,500, It was announced from the pulpit yesterday thav $1,250 was needed to practically take the church out of debt, and a little more than thatamount was promptly subscribed.

At the late mass the church was crowded by the pavish- foners, who had assembled to do honor to thefr patron saint and to greet the spiritual head of the diocese, Rt. Rev. Bistop Scaunell. The alters had been beautifully decorated by the sisters, who have charge of the schools. ‘The music was very ereditably rendered by two choirs, the senior choir boing ably assisted by the ¢ dren’s ghoir. Rov. Futher Smith of St. Francis' church, Council Bluffs, preached an eloquent sermon. Father Zack, the young priest who now has spiritual charge of the Bohemians of South ha, was celebrant of the mass. Fathers ughlin and Crowley acted as_deacon and subdeacon. Fathers Ryan and Harring- ton were deacons of honorand Father Smith was assistant priest to the bishop. The other priests present were Rev. Father Cole- secretary of the bishop; Rev.

A pleasant surprise party was given to Miss Mary Storm in celebration of her birth- day anniversary at her home Saturday night. The evening was spent in duncing and card playing. Miss Mary Allen and Mr. J. O'Neill won tho prizes. Mr. P. Storm played a num- ber of piano selections, which were very much enjoyed. Those present were: Misses L. O'Neill, K. Hickey, M. Allen, F.

OmAHA, Jan. 20.—To the Editor of 'yue Bee: On the question of the issuance of bonds by the city of Omaha to aid the Met- ropolitan Union Depot company in acquiring ground and buiiding a depot, I trust you are willing to publish a sincere expression of the sentiment held by many respectable citi- zens, whether such sentiment accord fully with your own or not. There is a growing feeling that the interests of the city are not properly and faithfully guarded and served. even by the officers who are chosen and solemnly sworn for that very Tpurpose. The sclence of subjecting public interests to private eunds probably has never been better understood or more shrowdly practiced than in late years. When I think of sowe things that have oceurred in the history of Omaha I see, in imagination, a picture in which Omaha appears as a patient donk with a number of rich men riding on its back and neck. The donkey has a hard time, but it is comforted by cheap ribbons tied to its ears and tail, and at times percep- tibly enthuscd and raises its voice spasmod- ically and tries to sing. ‘ollowing close behind is & company of city officers with_silkc hats, catehing coins thrown to them by the rich riders. Some of these officers even carry goads, with’ which they occasionally prick the patient donkey, and they sing a song, the refrain of which is: “Ol! praise the mighty dolla Lift up your voice and holler. This depot enterprise may be an one and just what the city needs. But, if s0, this is a very geod reason why the pro- moters of it should not ask aid from the city in bonds. If it is uot the best thing, then this is a very good reason why such aid should not be asked. Does any one pretend to boable to prove that a suitable depot cannot be built without making an unpront- able investment? Is that the sort of invest- ment the city is to be asked to make? If the capitalists specially interested see in this project a profitable investmont, then how generous and philanthropic they must be to witbhold their money and their efforts uutil a large bonus is given by the city! Are we blind enough and igng to believe that men who will act in this w are the best friends of the city, or that they ‘o the chief promotors of tho city's wi fare? Why should these men ask for these bonds? Why cannot railroad compan build suitablo depots in Omaha as v other cities? Omaha's indebtedness enough. It ought not to ineur any mor B, I, CocKuAN. ellent s New Y. M. € AL Phiysical Director.

Pian for Relieving the Neody W Proud to Ask Ald. OMARA, Jan. 17.—To the Editor of Tnr Bee: A fow of us men and women, young and old, have bunded tozether for the pur- pose of helping those who are out of work and too proud to ask aid of any organized charity, people who have alw been inde- pendent and who have been in the habit of giving to others, and would rather starve and freeze than ask aid of any public asso- ciation. Our headquarters are av Dr. Dur- yea's church, We have great difficulty in reaching the class of persons we desire to help and as it is impossible to mect and talk in a friendly way with the individuals we take this means of making known our desires and to assure nll that we consider it the t privilege to be able to assis this season of suffering and i times, which, by the way, we eurnestly hope will be of short duration. Oue way in which we hope to reach per- sons who are foolishly reticent as to their necessities is through the influence of friends who ave cognizanu of the facts. If you can make up your mind to speak of the state of your troubles to some friend and the friend will report to us either at the postoftice or at the First Congrégational church, we will donate to the friend what- ever is best suited to your immediate needs. Your name or place of residcnce need not bo known to us; in fact, would rather not be burdened "with any facts or statistics. That you are in need and worthy is all that we desire to kuow. ch person has o eircle of friends. be it little or small, and if in_a neighborhood any one knows of a person who would llkely b in need througn a long siege of enforced idle- ness or verhaps sickness and death, as it has beeu our sad privilege in many instances lately, we will consider it a favor if the sumo is reported to us. 1t possible, come and get the supplies yourself and take them to the needy one, and no one will be any wiser and one more wiil thus be helped to clothing, food or fuel, or whatever is demanded or necded. But we wish to urge all those who have wants to make them known tous personally, if it is possible to do so. The distress is so ereat and so far-reaching that no one need be afraid of being misunderstood if he asks for a little aid these tim Just call at the church on the corner of Nineteenth aud Dav- enport and tell your story and we will be glad to honor the draft on human kindness without asking to have you identitied too closely. We started our band without much money and once or twice have been down to bed Are Too rock, but we behieve God is sending us help,» nt we have ample means to aid many, voth as wo clothes or food. We do not call ourselves an organization; we work in the name of ne special church, but have re- ceived donations from almost every church in the city, sowe are really only endeavor- ing to give what is intrusted to us for dis- tribution, For this reason none should be timid 1 calling on us. We hope to keep above creeds and schisms and to do human- ity good in the very present time of need. ‘We appeal to every tender-hearted man and woman in Owaha to help us by forming yourself into a committee of one to look after your immediate friends, and let us not be hindered by lack of work to do, when we are veady and anxious to. do the work so as to hurt’ none, but help all who are Jeserving and suffering. RELIEF. and at pr. e LAWLER LIONIZED. The Ex-Congressman Overwhelmed Praise in Omaha. Frank Lawler is home from a trip to Omaha, says the Chicago Herald. He went west to help in the Jacksonian banquer, and on the hst of toasts his name was sub- stituted for that of Secretary Morton, who was unable to be present. The papers of the city gave tho ex-congressman as much space as would be allowed to President Cleveland and so_completely lionized him that he confesses e would as soon live in Omaha as Chicago but for forty-two years of associations with friends by the thou- sands. Mr. Lawler is especially enthusiastic over Omaha's public buildings, pronouncing the council chamber the finest’ in tbe country, and the whole city hall without equal in its adaptability. He visited the St. Joseph Memorial hospital, built at a cost of $260,000, and uses nothing but superlative adjectives in connection therewith. Mayor Bemis also comes in for compliments, Mr. Lawler des- ignating him as the most sensible republican he ever saw. Omaha has its army of unem- ployed, but the citizens have made splendid results in aenling - with this problem. “Politics,” repeated he. *Oh, I guess 1 have done enough in this line, and that reminds me that Tadvised a society of young men the other night to vote and end their politi- cal life vight there.

[CLARK AND THE KNIGHTS Rescuo Hall Superintendent's Reply to Reso- lutions Directed Against Him, WOULD NOT BE UNJUST TO UNION LABOR Asked Only that Tee Companles Give Un. employed Equal Chances With Other porers—Work or Sullering Must Come. Concerning the resolutions adopted by the Knights of Labor, condemuing his action in secking to have the ice companics hire the unemployed at Rescue hall to from conts o day, Rev. A, W, ( yostc i “Some time ago I put before the Board of Public Works a proposition that in the per formance of the work of the city the men in my care be given equal chances with other men of the city in the distribution of the same. The bourd gave me a little encour- agement, but informed me that the Bourd of Education had some banks of earth around one of its school buildings in the vicinity of Sixth and Pierce to be removed. The cost would be about §100 for the work. I thought that this money would help the cause in which I am interested very materjally inas- much as I could feed the men better who should be selected to work there. I also thought that if the men were paid, their time atthis rate, as long as the work lasted, would be worth 10 cents per hour, although in reality the only pay they would receive would be in the way of a little better food. No Stipulation as to Wages. “This is the only cause 1 can assign wly the Knights should thus attack my course. As far as contracting with icenen to employ my men at starvation wages 18 concerned, 1 can only say that it is absolutely faise. 1 did appeal to them that when the icing season opened these men be given employ- ment along with otiers, but made no stipu- lation us to wages, and such a thing as a contract never entered my head. The Knights probably drew up these resolutions from hearsay, as the only foundation I ¢ lay for them is the facts I havestated above. only desire it understood plainly that there would be no pecuni in for me in such an arrangement. The only aim I have in the matter is to see that those in my care ave properly attended to,and, as it is always 1o the benefit of a verson to be employed, T have takeu all the steps in my power to this end, but so far with poor saccess. [ am in hearty accord with the Knizhts of Labor and, in fact, with every organiza- tion for the bettering of the wages of th laboring man and the upbuilding of labor in all its branches, I wish to be thoroughly understood on this point in particular that 1 am 1ot doing anything, nor will I do any- thing, to the actriment of this cause, It would be ridiculous for me so to do, as these labor organizations have contributed liber- ally to the cause of charity in this city, which they might not continue should they meet opposition from the sources they are endeavoring to benefit.

[ — ANNOUNCEMENTS, James O'Neill comes to Boyd’s theater next Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinee, and will appear in “Monte Cristo.” Itis only in defercnce to the wishes of the theater-goers that Mr. O'Neill has consented, after a period of five years, to present “Monte Cristo” in_Omaha agam. As the honest sailor lad, Eaniond Dantes, he has the careless g droll humor and brisk heartiness characteristic of that type. As the count his beaving is dig- nified and firm and he assumes the air of high brecding befitting the man of the world, His impersonation of the Abbo Busoni hus always been held up as the best represéntation on the stuge of a clergym and ministers of all denominations themselves of the opportunity to pay tribute to Mr. O'Neill's genius by flocking to the theater as soon as his arvival in the city 15 announced. As presented on the s “Monte Cristo” is a melodrama; in fact, it the most characteristic and legitin e of any melodrama ever scen in this country. That Mr. O'Neill and _his selected company of players will be one of the strongest ai- tractions Boyd's theater could have secured for its patrons 1s beyond question.
