@reav Congregational Convention to Be Held in Omaha in June, MUCH INTEREST ATTACHES TO THE EVENT Promoting West- Its he Soclety Has Done In Features in of What tho Higher Lifo--History Benificent Work. ern three convention opens a An important days' session In Omaha on June 6, the sixty- elghth annual meeting of the Congregational Home Misslonary soclety. None of the previous annual conventions of the body have been held west of New York, and in coming to Omaha it comes into the heart of a district to the intellectual and moral welfare of which it has contributed so lib- rally in ploneer and later days. The length and breadth of the state and the adfoining states is dotted over with schools, academies, colleges, churches and parson- ages which were only possible With the as- sistance of the Home Missionary society, and from the times of the sod shanty and the ox train down to the present a con- stant stream of money has flowed from the New England and Atlantic states to nourish in the west the best elements of statohood All other churches, of course, have assisted tn this work, but from fits lack of creed the Congregationalist had the advantage in the days of the ploneers, when the bulld- ing of the church was a great event in the history of the town. What these little churches, with the reading circles, sewing elreles and Sunday schools did for the rellet of the barrenness and desolation of sod shanty 1ife only the ploneers, and especlally the women, of those days could tell Largely through the influence and by the assfstance In this home missionary soclety freo lands and good parsonages have been procured for the churches whose pastors preach that all men who behave themselves as_Christian gentlemen are welcome to the privileges of the church, In coming to Omaha tho delegates to this convention for the first time will be able to seo with their own eyes some of the good which thelr organization has accomplished. They will also find ready to welcome them a population of 125,000 Congregationalists within a radius of 500 miles—12,000 in Ne- braska, 27,000 in fowa, 12,000 in Kansas, 8,000 in Missouri, 40,000 in Illinots, 15,000 in Minnesota, 6,000 in South Dakota, 4,000 in Colorado. The delegates to the convention are vol- untary, and the local committee thus far is unable to state how many will be here, but among them will be just the sort of men Omaha and the west should delight to honor. An ldea of the class of men composing the body should be gathered from the fact that in one Massachusetts town sending seven- teen delegates Dradstreet gives the occupa- tions of twelve of thme as follows: Bankers, 3; ministers, 2; manufacturers, 7. Especially, in view of a distrust of the west among some eastern capitalists and investors, fostered by recent financial troubles, is the visit of such men at this time considered particularly opportune, and the local committee having charge of their entertalnment has been making a special effort to see that they are well entertained. The committee consists of G. H. Payne, chairman; Dr. Duryea, Dr. Butler, Rev. @. J. Powell, William Fleming, A. P. Tu- key, Dr. Somers, George A. Hoagland, H. N. ‘Wood, M. H. Comstock, A. S. Stiger, W. H. Alexander, W. H. Russell, C. T. Morrls, H. P. Hallock, J. H. Evans, W. T. Lawton, H. 1. Powers, F. H. Hauling and Samuel Avery. In addition to the regular meetings of the convention it has been planned to give the delegates a carriage drive about the city nd a reception at the rooms of the Com- merclal club. The value of the gathering to Omaha and Nebraska as an advertisement may be es- timated from a glance at the last number of the Home Migsionary, the organ of the soclety, published in New York, thirty-two pages of which are devoted to Omaha and Nebraska. The leading article, entitled “Omaha,” is by W. H. Alexander, giving a concise and interesting account of the early history and present prosperity of the city, with a number of handsome illustrations. J. B. Utt of the Commercial club also has a comprehensive article on “Nebraska and Its Resources,” with cuts of the South Omaha stock yards. Other articles are on “Congregationalism in Nebraska,™ by Rev. Harmon Bross, with cuts of the leading Omaha churches, ANXIOUS TO SEE THE WEST. Speaking of the coming meeting in Omaha, the magazine says: ‘‘This state has boen a favorite home missionary ground since the day Rev. Reuben Gaylord crossed the Missourl river. Now for the first time the national organization, which has done so much for Nebraska, 1s to meet within its borders. Naturally this meeting excites interest, and friohds of home missions an- ticipate not only a good time, but profitable instruction. ~ Word comes from east and west that there will be a large attendance. Eastern people are desirous of having a peep at the real west, while they out there are anxious to meet face to face the men who have labored continuously for them. The Omaha committee fs busy preparing for the comfort and enjoyment of all who may come. Lincoln and Crete are arranging to invite the strangers to visit the capitol and Doane college.” Over 30,000 copies of this publication have been cifculated among Congregationalists all over the Unitcd States. The bureau of infor- mation of the Commercial club has pre- pared for gratuitous distribution among the delegates a souvenir program which is an artistic gem. It Is printed on the finest book paper and contains handsome half-tona. cuts of strect ¢cenes, public buildings, lead- ing business houses, churches, - colleges, schools, hospitals and banks. The printed pages give in the fewest posible words a review of the present prosperity and prospec- tive groatness of the city and state. No individual advertising has been permitted b_’ the publishers and the souvenir will be preserved as a handsome and artistic re- minder of a pleasant visit to a vigorous western city. he ‘varigus sessions of the convention will be held in the First Congregational church and the First Methodist Epizcopal chureh, according to the following program: ‘Wednesday—3:30 p. m., annueal meeting of the sociaty at First Congregationa® church, Davenport and Nineteenth streets; 8 p. m. annual sermon by Rev. 8.

In a review of the work and objects of the society furnished the committee the secrotary says Tho American (now Home Missionary soclety was organized in the city of New York May 10, 1826, by a convention in which were represented these four evangelical denominations: Congrega- tional, Presbyterian, United Presbyterian and Dutch Reformed. Its object, as declared by its constitution, Is to assist congregations unable to support the gospel ministry and to send the gospel and the means of Chris- tan education to the destitute within the United States. It was incorporated under tho laws of the state of New York, and Is legally authorized to hold its meetings in any state or territory within the United States and in the District of Colulnbia, Its officers are a president, ten vice presidents, secretaries for correspondence, a treasu an auditor and a recording sceretary. general supervision of its work, appointment of missionaries and superintendents, elec- tion of secretaries and treasurer, the care of its property, etc., are in the hands of an executive committee of fifteen, five of whom, to serve for five years, aro chosen by ballot at_each annual meeting. The voting membership of the soclety Is of two classes, life members and annual members; the former constituted such by the payment of $50 into the socioty's treas- ury; the latter by election of an auxillary, or of a Congregational church annually con- tributing to the soclety’s work. In the society's first year it contributed to the support of 169 missionaries, of whom 120 were in the middle states, one in New England, five in the south and southwest, thirty-three In the then western states and one In Oanada. The receipts in that year were $18,141. In the tenth year 7565 mis- sionaries were aided and $92,189 expended. In the twentieth year 971 missionaries and $126,193 outlay. In the thirtieth year 936 missionaries and $186,611 expens:s. In the fourth decade the treasury and the amount of work suffered because of the Presby- terians leaving the society and organizing their own IHome Missionary board, yet in the fortieth year 818 misslonarles were alded and the outlay was $218,811. In the fiftieth year 979 missionaries and $309,872 outlay. In the sixtieth year 1,469 missionaries and $408,790 expended. In the sixty-seventh year, 180293, 2,002 missionarles were em- Dloyed and §689,026 expended. Of these 2,002 missionarles 437 were employed in New England, 153 In the middle states, 203 in the south and southwest and 1,209 in the western states and territories. The total cash recelpts in the soclety’s sixty-seven years is $15,384,895. Not less than $2,040,690 In addition’ has been re- coived and distributed among the mlission- arles in supplies of clothing, famlly stores, books and cash outside of that paid on sal- ary account. Churches organized by the missionaries, 5,981; brought to self-support, 2,803; additions to the aided churches, 409, 257. Of these 11,233 were added within the sixty-seventh year, 7,240 on confession of faith and 3,983 by letter from other churches. Nearly or quite 2,300 Sunday schools, with not less than 160,000 pupils, are under the speclal care of the missionaries, thus pre- paring the way for the formation of churches in the near and distant future and in the widely severed state in which the lot of those now in childhood and youth are cast. Not the least important results of the society’s work may be seen in the schools, ‘academies, colleges and theological semi- naries in the interfor, the farther west and the south, which its labors have been largely instrumental in founding, nourishing and alding to supply with teachers and pupils during the last sixty-seven years. Few men deserve better of their country than do those who with great sacrifice and keeping themselves out of sight have lald deep and strong the foundations of these permanent institutions for educating and training the young men and women, on whom is soon to rest the responsibilities for the political, educational and religlous welfare of our land. The vast influence of foreigners from avery part of the world, holding all forms of religlon and many with no religion at all, fearfully menacing the most precious of our Institutions, has in late years led to the or- ganization of three foreign departments, each with Its superintendent: The Scandina- vian, the Slavic and the German. These are attracting to themselves the intelligent and practical Interest of the society's best friends, and this comparatively recent line of work is already rich in Its fruits and is bright with promise. The woman's department, opened in 1893, has also grown rapidly in favor with all the friends of home missions. Its special object Is to interest the women, and, through them, the children, of our Congregational churches throughout the country In the work. Forty-one state ‘“‘unions” have been already organized. The Home Missionary, a magazine, of which 30,000 coples are issued monthly, Is published by the socety, and in April, 1894, closed its sixty-sixth volume as the society's chief organ of communication with its con- will be largely about the city, in and about time rides the Congregational) stituents. It gives a running account of the progress of the work in all parts of the country, largely from the pens of the super- intendents and missionaries personally en- gaged in it Over $089,000 was expended last year in carrying on the work in forty-seven states and territories. One hundred thousand dol- lars more could wisely have been appro- priated in the newer fleids daily opening and calling for help from the older states, s IMPIELLES. A young lady organist in a Montreal church was captivated with the young pas- tor of a_church in the next strect and was delighted to hear one week that by ex- change he was to preach the next Sunday in her own church. The organ was pumped by an obstreperous old sexton, who would often stop when he thought the organ vol- untary had lasted long enough. This day the organist was anxious that all should go well, and as the service was about fo begin she wrote a note intended solely for the sexton's eye. He took it, and in spite of her agonized beckonings carried it straight to the preacher. What was that gentl man's astonishment when he head, “‘Obligt me this morning by blowing away till | give you a signal to stop—Miss Allen.” A well known minister succeeded in so shocking his congregation a few nights ago that several of the ladles fainted outright, while two or three had to be carried bodily from the church and resuscitated in the fresh air, The preacher was expiating upon the merits or demerits of Solomon, us the caso may have been, when he came to the place where Solomon began taking to him- self his 800 wives. “Solomon,” sald the holy man, lifting his hands above his head and gazing sorrowfully at the roof of the church, “Solomon was, my dear friends—Solomon was—he was a reg- ular Billy Breckinridge sort of a man. Just here he paused. There was an awed hush, followed by a smothered groan that came from the center of the church. The preacher tried to correct himself, but it was toa late, and his apology was aimost as bad as the original remark. His sermon closed almost immediately. “We don't play the plano at our house on Sunday,” sald the first little girl, “and you folks do. We ain't heathens.” ‘Nelther are we,” said the second little girl, “but we don't belleve in usin’ up all our ‘religlon on Sunday, 50's there won't be none left through the week, like some folks does." “What is this money to be used for that the yohurch s ralsing?

NIGHT RIDE IN A DRENCHING STORM Daylight Explains All-A Huge Joko—Why Meade's Division Was Not Supported at Frederickaburg—More War eminiscences. The quartermaster placed his one hand car at the disposal of the paymasters. He did 0 with the pleasant information that on the | previous evening the busy confederates had made a raid and swept away all the pickets posted along the line of the railway, write William 0. Stoddard in Romance, Now pickets had been posted, he told them, and their proposed trip would be reasonably safe. “That is,” he said, “I guess you're safe from any confeds, but if you don't get through before dark I'd advise you to be pretty prompt about answering any hail, The boys'll all be wide awake this time. They won't be slow about taking care of themselves in the dark. Not a man of ‘em wants to go to Wilmington Just now, nor to Andersonville efther.” There were nine men huddled on that hand car when it went. A sergeant and four soldiers were its motive power, guard and garrison. Two paymasters, with the rank of major, and one clerk, were in charge of a black box containing over $80,000 in greenbacks, to be scattered among the volunteers on the morrow. The alr grew more and more close and sultry, and just before night a sort of haze began to rise over the eastern horizon. “That's it, major,” sald the sergeant to one of the paymasters, “‘we're going to hear from Cape Hatteras. “Storm coming?” “Right along. 'Twont come. He was correct as to the time required by Cape Hatteras, or whatever was managing thatstorm. The sky rapldly grew black as ink and darkness came with but moderate reference to the departing sun. Just before entering the denser thickets of the swamp a picket was reached and the officer in charge repeated the warning of the quartermaster: “Be ready to answer right away. It'll be pitch dark and some of the boys will be nervous after last night's work. They'll shoot quick POURING MILL-PONDS. In ten minutes more such a storm had ar- rived as was a credit to Cape Hatteras and the whole seacoast of North Carolina. On rolled the hand car, its crouching pas- sengers drenched with rain, that fell in streams rather than drops. The lightning flashed almost Incessantly, and the thunder seemed to be rolling around all over the swamp. Except where a streak of lightning clett it, the darkness was like a solid wall, and there was neither headlight or hand- lantern provided for that hand car. “Worst storm I ever saw,” remarked the sergeant, and one of the brace of men who were acting as motive power grunted back at him, It's the worst kind of storm, but you can't see it."" It was a just correction of the statement made by the sergeant, but at that moment a hoarse, deep, all but sepulchral voice from among the bushes and blackness, at the right of the track commanded: “Haft!" “Stop her! Quick, boys!" exclaimed the sergeant, and as 'the men changed in- stantly from motive power into brakes, he sprang from the car into water above his knees and waded forward to answer the hail and give the countersign. It was all In vain. Down came a double deluge of raln and thicker darkness. Then a vividness of blue electricity danced through the dripping bushes and a great roar of thunder followed it as if in search of the hidden ‘picket.”” Nelither rain, nor lightning, nor thunder, nor the anxious questionings of the sergeant discovered him. There he was, or must have been, dead or alive, for he had said “Halt,”” but that was apparently all he had to say. The sergeant splashed his way back to the hand car, using very strong language, and it was decided to go forward. “We're just as likely to be fired into, first thing,” remarked thc paymaster's clerk, “and they'd hit some of us, sure Both of the paymasters agreed with him, and one expressed his satisfaction that the box containing the greenbacks was water- proof. ““That's more than I am,” sald one of the soldiers. *“This e'r rain’s got through my roof. I can feel it trinkle down inside of me." take it long to ANOTHER ALARM.. The hand car was not propelled rapidly after that, but the lightning and thunder worked harder than ever. Perhaps half a mile had been gained, when another voice, on the left this time, and not so near, but equally hoarse and peremptory, shouted: “‘Halt!" Other words which seemed to follow were swallowed up by a wide-mouthed clap of thunder, and so was the sergeant’s prompt response, but in an instant he was among the bushos. The first we heard from him was: “Boys, it's up to my waist and getting deeper! “Go on, sergeant!" shouted one paymasters. hey'll be shooting at they don't get an answer!’ “Hurrah for General Burnsides!" squawk- ed the paymaster’s clerk, in.a vague effort to let any supposed picket know which side he was on, but a severe sternness from the further end bade him: “Shut up! Halt! Come along! I'm coming!" uted the riend! Paymaster ‘Shut up! Come along!” responded threatening voice beyond him. For a full quarter of an hour the sergeant groped and floundered among those hushes. Again he used strong language; very strong, indeed; but not a soul came to meet him, nor did another word reply to his repeated requests that the pleket should advise him as to what course he should take The party on the hand car cowered under sheets and torrents and whole mill-ponds of falling water, and hoped that there might be a cessation of the lightning flashes, so that any hidden riflemen would be less able to shoot straight. “I give it up,” said the voice of the ser- geant at last, He was only three paces from the car, but he was invisible. “The boys know who we are,” said one of the soldiers, “and we can go on; but it's an awful mean joke to play In sugh a rain as this.” ‘Thera's something more than said one of the paymasters. we'll of the us if sergeant, the that in ‘“There's never get to i, a'trap of some kind.

It was a doleful mystery, and the chance of belug fired Into grew grisly. enough, as the car was dublously urged forward. The flerconess of the storm diminished and thus, with a great gust of wind from Cape Hatteras, it ceasod. More wind came and swept away the clouds. The moon came out gloriously and at that very moment the paymaster's clork exclaimed: “Quick, sergeant! They shoot nowy’ “Halt! Come along! Got 'em! Got 'en now! Bully! Better mount! Betle mount!""
