Ober, the secre- Yary of the Young Men's Christian associa- tion, came in a moment ago and offors to the delegates present the free use of the bullding and all its comforts and conven- fencos—tables for correspondence, boxes for mafling letters, and the use of the daily and weekly Journals found In the reading room, and any books which may be found on the shelves of the library. Be pleased to use the bullding as though you were members of the association, and the young men will be gratified. Dr. Duryea also announced that an ex- cursion would be run from Omaha to the Black Hills, going by way of the Elkhorn and returning by the B. & M., for which re- duced rates had been offered. It s the purpose of the excursion to stop at Nellgh, Norfollc and Chadron, where the ashes of the academy may be seen. The doctor promised that the visitors from the east might catch a glimpse of an occasional sod house or possibly a school house. Dr, Clark—We are greatly indebted to the local committee on arrangements for what they have dono in preparing for this meeting, and I would like to move that the local committee be made the committee of arrangements for this meeting and that this be entered upon the minutes of the meeting. The names of the committee are: G. H. Payne, Rev. S. Wright Butler, Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Duryea, Rev. G. J. Powell, Dr. A. B. Somers, J. H. Evans, A. 8. Stiger, W. H. Alexander, M. J. Kénnard, fH. P.

The motion was carried, The afternoon session adjourned with an mnnouncement of the annual sermon by Dr. Herrick of Boston, and the devotional meet- g to be held at'9 o'clock, led by Rev. H. . Gllchrist of the Black Hill ANNUAL SERMON, Pr. Herrick on the Alms and Methods ot the Gospel. “The Gospel of the Kingdom, Its Aim, Its Method and Its .Result,” was the topic of the annual sermon before the Home Mis- | varled exercixo of slonary soclety, preached at the First Meth- odist church last evening by Rev. Dr. Samuel E. Herrick of Mount Vernon church, Boston, His text was St. Luke, viil, 19-23 (rovised wersion): And John calling unto him two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? And when the men were come unto him, they sald, John the Baptist hath Bent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? In that hour he cured many of the diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many that were blind he bestowed sight. And he muswered and sald unto them, Go your way nnd tell John what things ye have seen and heard; the blind recelve “their sight, the lJame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deat hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them. And blessed is he whosoever shall find none oc- casion of stumbling in me.” He sald In part: The sacred writers, while they handle the characters of thelr heroes lovingly, never flinch from the truth concerning thom. Their ortraits are faithful to shadows and even 0 blemishes. Here we have John, who had Been bold enough to beard the implacable Herod and charge him to his face with his < Bhameless criminalities; who was, upon the ighest authority, the greatest of men born ©of woman; whose prophetic insight had been earliest o discover In Jesus of Nazareth the Lamb of God and the world's Redeemer ~—wavering now in his dearest convictions, .and sending forth a cry, almost of despal “Tell us, Art thou Ho—Art thou He that comoth, ‘or must the world wait for an- other?” It Is a conspleuous Instance of the daltering faith. And perhaps there never was a time in all the Christian countries When the disciples of Christ had greatex Teason than now for thankfulness that it was so falthtully recorded. John the Baptist came very near to looking upon Christ as many In these days are looking upon Christi- anity, namely, as a dismal failure. Christ was not doing what John felt that he had @ right to expect of Him. Why was this king delaying the assumption of his crown and His official herald suffered to languish in tho dungeon of Machacrus? Why was still rioting in lcontlousness and lelty? What 1s this deliverer of His peo- doing to vindicate His echaracter? And t John's convictions were shaken by his own experience the accounts which came to %lm of Christ's general work were not more veassuring, And great minded as John wa rophet and saint as he was, caged, help- oss, disappointed, i was natural that he Bhould have been disturbed and shaken in his falth. Men are still affected in the same May. Eighteen centuries of Christ's pres- nce and power, according to His promise, Lo! I am with you always, even unto the end of the world,” have not suficed to si- lence the question, “Art thou He that com- eth? Art thou still the hope of mankind, or I8 our faith vain und must we look for an- Other? It has been remarked frequently within the last few years that among the moral causes which In the present age are laying Christian belief open to the attacks of Intellec tual Inquiry there is none that more widely or more deeply undermines our spiritual courage than the contrast between the splendor of the promises of Christianity and the possibility of thelr actual realization, AWith almost every decade some new fact OF some new serles of facts, in sclence, in archacology, In history, in eriticlsm, in soclal lite, seemns to offer a new basis for inquis tion into the value of the Christian bellet, and the church is accordingly summoned anew (o glve a good reason for the hope that 45 (0 her.

How far ean she, who claims to be Christ’s body In tho world, point to what whe s doing as a sufficient vindicatlon of her_claima? First, let me ask you to notice that what emphasizes and pl 1] the fe of His answer to ohn's ehalleng Niw “free, untrammoled and most ignant power. 1o s diffusing health and life and Joy among those whom society in general s caring little about. Now tho pith of the answer lay in » implication that John had fallen into the mistake of fidentifylng tho coming and relgn of the Christ with already existing {nstitutions and conditions, John never rose to the conception of Christ's relgn as the way and truth and life; as a spiritual foree, A benignant temper which should gragually pervade every sphere of human thought and action, a spirit of benlgnity which should become the supreme power In human sjety to put it Into the one finest word, race.’” And In the transition from Judatsm to ristianity the mistake was car- tiod over and has been more or less mis- chiovous from that day to this. Institutions no after a while to have a conventional valuo which fs entirely Independent of their orfginal purposes. We have an fnstitution running into institutionalism. Offce prosti- tuted to oMcialism; dogma degraded to dogmatism; ritual deteriorated to ritualtsm, and the church, ecclesia, corrupted into colesfaticlsm. 80 it 18 guite possible that Christians may pervert the institution of Christianity Just as the Jews perverted those of thelr religion. Where John the Baptist put the temple we put the church. Whero ho put the formuas of the law we have put the formulas of falth, meaning by that cortain statements about God and Christ and the future life. Our Christ, ke his Messiah, must work and redeem and relgn within theke times, or like John we fail to rocognize him, . But to found an institution in the world was manifestly not a primary purpose with our Lord. Not an institution, but a lite, So little, indeed, did He seem to His contempo- raries to care for institutions that they charged Him with profanity. Such being the mission and the alm of Jesus, what was His method? The method was by a pertinent ministry to the most ob- trusive need of the moment. He began with the practice of the simplest philosophy. What was Immediately pressing upon the man who stood before Him; that was the open door by which He would enter. The prac- tical problem of the hour, the crying need of the appealing misery before Him, here was His task. RESULTS OF THE METHOD. Dealing with men after this method, Christ's first great result was a relemp- tion of man from a condition of helpless- mess, usclessness and burdensomeness to himselt and to others. “The lame walk.” Men are put upon their feet and have no longer to be carried. “The blind receive their sight;” they are put in the way of gathering intelligence for themselves. "And this suggests the second grand result of the Christ method. Each soul so blessed be- comes a new signal of redemption, a new star, flaming in_the gloom, & new spring gushing up in the desert, a mew point of leavening power in the mass of unleavened .life. God's day comes everywhere by the increment of dawn. He has Himseif re- vealed the method, and if we are true to that we need not fear the result. There is danger lest our faith be too.hasty and too narrow. In the order of our Congregational churches, and In our Congregational Home Missionary soclety, which is simply a con- venient name for our Congregational church life, in its endeavor to minister to the im- mediate needs of our beloved country, we have, as I believe, the most efficlent instru- mentality for doing the work which is set before us. It Is flexible and free. It is ener- gized by consecrated spirit and high pur- pose. No man can rightly criticise its ad- ministration or its temper. It does well and faithful what we behind it enable it to do. If anything or anybody is fairly sub- ject to the challenge of the hour, it Is not it, but we, the Congregational Christians of America, who must answer to the chal- lenger. Who 18 best qualified to answer such ques- tions as these? Whom shall we Congrega- tional Christiana of America depute to res- pond In our behalf in these days of ours to the everlasting challenge which is thrown down at the feet of our holy religlon? Who has the best right to answer Him, who Himself, “without where to lay His head,” was “‘anointed to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and receiving sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord?" There is a man who can answer for us, but he Is too modest. Fathers and brethren, will answer for him. It is one who has joyfully taken it for his mission to carry a cup of cold water to his thirsty brother, caring little for any em- phasis upon the cup, whether it be of gold or silver, of vulgar tin ar rudest pottery, car- ing only for the dying need and for the water of life which can banish that thirst with an eternal satisfaction. It is of all Christ’s diciples that I know the humble, self-forgetting, unworldly Congregational home missionary.

Governor McKinley was given an ovation oh entering thoe hail. Auditor of State Poe read the report on redolutions, which was adopted with fre- quent applause. It was as follows. THE PLATFORM, 1. The republicans of Ohio, convention assembled, reaflirm the form of principles adopted by the publican nationai convention of 1592, 2, people of Ohio delight to honor distinguished and patriotic pub- lie servant, Hon. Willlam McKinley. They endorsed his administration of state af- falrs during his first term by re-electing him by the largest majority ever given to any candidate for governor in time of peace, and we, as accredited representa- tives of the 43,000 republicans at that con- vention, do most heartily endorse his pres- ent clean, honorable, able and eflicient ad- mintstration, and assure him of our highest confidence and esteem. 3. We commend the seventy-first general assembly of this state. 1. We commend the course of our repre- sentatives in congress, and of our illus- trious senator, John Sherman. 5. We recognize the tariff of 18%, known as the McKinley act, as the ablest’ expres- slon of the patriotic principie of protection yet enacted, and condemn and denounce any attempt to repeal or amend it which does not have for its object better pro- tection to American labor and American interests than is secured by it. 6. We denounce the unjust and inequita- ble tariff measure, known as the Wilson bill, and the senate substitutes therefor and amendments proposed thereto, as un- patriotic, favorable to trusts and sectional in their provisions, and as subversive of the prosperity and happiness of tn: people of the United States. The change from specific to ad valorem dutles would promote undervaluations, fraudulent involces and Increase importa- tions with a loss of revenue to the govern- ment of many millions, and result in a constantly increasing annual deficiency, which it is proposed to meet by the resort to such war measures as income tax and increased internal duties. 7. We denounce the attempt of congress to_destroy the principle of reciprocity. 8. We endorse the sentiment of the na- tional grange, L e, that all tariff laws shall protect the products of the farm as well as the product of the factory. 9. We demand such protection for sheep husbandry as will secure falr prices” for wool. 10. We denounce the treatment of Ameri- can farmers and workingmen by the demo- cratic senate, 1. We denounce the present democratic administration, its Hawailan policy having been a national disgrace. 12. We denounce the administration of the present pension bureau as a deliberate hetrayal of the welfare of union soldiers and sailors. 13 We demand the enactment of such legislation as will prevent the immigration of the viclous and criminal classes; of la borers under contract; of paupers and an archists. 14. We favor bimetallism. Silver as well as gold is one of the great praducts of the United States. Its coinage as used as a clreulating medium should be steadily maintained and constantly encouraged by the national government, and we advocate such a policy as will, by discriminating leg- islation or otherwise, most speedily re- store to- silver Its rightful place as a money metal. 15. ‘We denounce the avowed purpose of the democratic lemders to restore the era of “wildeat” and *red dog” money by re- pealing the prohibitory 10 per cent tax on state bank issues. All money of whatever kind should be under national and state control 16. We commend the Nicaraguan canal.

TOPEKA, Kan., June 6.—The republican state convention, 893 delegates strong, the largest political convention ever held in Kansas, was called to order at noon today by Chairman Simpson of the state central committee. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. A. Bright. Without preliminary remarks, the chairman announced that nominations for temporary presiding officers were in order. Hon. S. A. Peters of Newton, ex- congressman from the Seventeenth district was the only name put in nomination, and he was elected by acclamation. Judge Peters,” on taking the chalr, was loudly cheered, and made a rousing speech, describing the wreck of national prosperity by reason of democratic ascendancy, and the loss of reputation and ecredit suffered by Kansas because of the domination of the state by the people's party. A resolution was unanimously adopted at the close of Judge Peters' speech extending congratulations to Governor-clect Lord of Oregon. The convention then took a recess until 3 o'clock to permit the chairman to select the committees on resolutions, ete. No business was transacted at the aftor- noon session, but addresses were delivered by prominent woman suffrage advocates, who are in the city in force for the purpose of urging the convention to place a siffrage plank in its platform. The principal address was by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Iowa, who made a strong plea for the general principle of woman suffrage and the expediency of making it a republican ssue in the present Kansas campaign. The convention took another recess after tha addresses and du the recess the com- mittee on resolutions met and listened to arguments by the Topeka Mlisisterial union in favor of a prohibition plank in the plat- torm. The officers to be nominated are as fol lows: Congressman-at-large, assoclate jus tice, governor, lleutenant gover secro- tary of state, treasurer, auditor and super- intendent of publio instruction.

Ay — Do Work. al com- closed yes- forrod—Ye srelses of the eleventh mencement of Bellevae colle torday afternoon. The commencement week fwas opencd last Sunday with the baccalaure. ate sermon, and last night was spent by the students and faculty in bldding to each other. No students v duated hen Dr. Harsha left the presidency of the college, four years and a half ago, no head was left the college and the membprs of the freshman class all dropped out, consequently leaving no class to be graduated this year. Next year there will be flve graduates, and it is expected that the number will ma- terlally fncrease in suceeeding years The year just ended has brought the finances of the college upon a sound found; tion. No def is to be met this year, as was the case at the end of the last college when a deficit_of $1,600 ed t ecs In the face. There i at present an enroliment of eighty-five, and the work of the students generally has been good. Next year it is proposed to add another teacher to the faculty, making a total of eleven, and it s strongly hoped that during the year will be laid the foundations of a new dorm} tory. The college Is growing steadily in popularity on account of its excellent curri- culum and its beautiful and healthful loca- tion. It has elved great encouragement from Presbyterlans and great praise from ru godspeed eastern educators. Instead of the regular graduating exercises yesterday afternoon the time was occupled With an address to the Students by Rev. M. Wiison, pastor of the Castellar Presb; terian church and a gfaduate of Princeton college, The address was preceded by a plano duet by Miss Hertzler and Prof. J 'he announcement was made by the presi- dent that the following degrees had been conferred: The degree of D.D. in cours Rev. John H. Carpenter, Ph.D., Shelby, Ia degree of A. M. In course, Rev. A. C. Skinner, Eaton, N. Y.; degree of honorary D.D., Rev. Walter D. Bu¢hanan, New York; Rev. George WiMmms, Mitchell, S. D.; Re: Thomas C. Clark, Grand islapd, Neb.; Rev. John C. Clarke, Upper Alton, Iil.; degree of Ph.D., Joseph H. Campbell, New York. The program was cloged yith a chorus, “Farewell College Hours,” by the College Glee club, and formal farewell by President Kerr. During the evening the 'students guests enjoyed, a promenade tho halls of the building., On Tuesday. night took place the annual Intersociety literary contest. - ¥he representa- tives of the Philomethean society in the oratorical and cssay contest were with- drawn, the president allegtfg ‘that the C. P. C. order had been guilly, of dishonorable conduct. First, in obtaining and secretly re- taining the marks put mpon the essays by the out-of-town judges, ~and secondly, in that the C. P. C. orator had changed the composition of his oration’ after receising it from the judges. These allegations created quite a:sensation. Both the Philo- methean contestants refused to take part and the program was continued without them. The winners were declared as follow. Oration, Paul S. Bandy, C. P. C.; essay, R. D. Elliott, C. P. C.; declamation, The dore Morning, Philomethean; debate, A. A. Mitchell, Philomethean. The contest was given to the C. P. C. by four points.

OW invaluable such a discovery would be! How great the benefit to every- body! How voraciously would such a pub- lication be seized upon! HOW satisfactory it would be if the great military events in the lives of Nations were so historied! No more dependence upon haphazard historians. We'd have ex- act knowledge. ..
