FEAST OF llll: PATRON SAIN Aunpiversary of Philomena Oslebrated With Impresnve Dignity at Cathedrals STORY OF THE VIRGINS MARTYRDOM Patrick A. McGovern Chants Rev. dy fev. Solemn High M Michael J, Striteh, 8, Preaches Sermon. With all the pomp and splendor of the Roman Catholic ritual the feast of 8t. Phil- omena, the patron saint of the Giocese of Omaha, was celebrated at St. Philomena’s cathedral yesterday morning. Solemn high mass was chanted by Rev Patrick McOovern, the pastor, assisted by Rev. Michael 1. Striteh, 8. J., and Rev. Hu- bert F. Brockmann, 8. J., as deacon and sub-deacon, respectively, and a number of acolytes, Miss Mary McShane, dirnctress of the cholr, presided at the organ, & grand Ital- fan mass being rendered. Messrs. Miller, Bwift and Kroeger of the Elks' quartet as- sisted the regular cholr, in which are Mrs. Corby, Miss Ella Croft, Miss Genevieve Croft and Miss Mary Mc8hane. The gospel of the day, the fourteenth Bunday after Pentecost and feast of St Philomena, was from Matthew vi, 24-34, in- clustve. wther Stritch took for his text the thirty-third verse: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousnes: and all these things shall be added unto you,” and sald, In part: “It would bo hard to find another text which %0 completely sums up and so beau- tifully expresses the spirit of Christianity an the words ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,’ nor could we find an individual in whose lite it is so well fllustrated as in that of the dearest of saints, Philomena, the story 2f whose tender devotion and love of God fs well known to you. For fiteen centurfes after her cruel death by order of the Roman em- peror, Diocletian, St. Philomena, virgin and martyr, was unknown to the world; her story was asleep In the heart of the church ‘and her body rested in the catacombs. Story of Her Terture. “Tt was not until 1802 that some archalol- ogists came upon a gravestone bearing certain ingeriptions and emblems in which they read the story of her torture, and in the lily of her virgin purity, of her loyalty t0 her vow and of her martyrdom at the tender age of 18 years. Though the finding of the tomb of Philomena was considered important, no attention was pald to it, nor the story It contained, except by a few learned men, until 1805, when a great and learned Itallan missionary, who had met with wonderful success in converting many souls, visited Rome for inspiratfon and to select o salnt to whose Intercesston he com- mitted his work. Standing before the body of Bt. Philomena he told the keeper of the egcred relics that he desired it for his new chapel, and 5o earnest was he that atten- tion was attracted and the devotion to Bt. Philomena was proclaimed. “It wa# at this same time that a young artist, who knew nothing of the inscrip- “tlons found upon the tomb of Philomena, had a vision, or a dream, In which he saw fhe life of the Mly-ltke virgin with whom Diocletian became enamored, but whose Sove, when he found that Philomena had wowed her virghity to God, turned to hate ®nd rage, and who after he had caused her death, could endure life no longer. The story was at the same time told by a ly priest, both confirming the Inserip- ‘ons and emblems on the tomb of Philo- Smena. sy nt Tells It te & Nun. “But to & nun of Naples, who had prayed warpestly to Bt. Philomena, was the whole #tory of her life revealed, the saint coming Aand talking' to her. Philomens was the daughter of a king and queen In Greece who, until her birth, were childless. They were told by & Christian from Rome that if they became converted to the true falth and prayed for a child that their faith would be rewarded. When Philomena was probably 11 years old her parents became involved in a war and went to Rome to in- tercede with Diocletian for peace. The em- peror saw the beauty of Philomena and offered peace and to guaranteo the safety of the parents if they would give him the chfld, not to be dishonored, but to be his wife. ‘The parents consented, and urged that Philomena accept, saying that as the wifte of the emperor she could plead for the Christians. But the maiden refused, and then was put to the torture. But she emerged from the wounds of the arrows and of the scourge more beautiful than ever, being healed at once, and at last Diocletian was foreed to order that she be beheaded, for finding that he could not convert her he feared that she would con- Yert him aud the Roman citizens to Chris- tanity. “Atter the devotion of St. Philomena was proclaimed many miracles were wrought at her shrine, and the devotion to her has been growing and spreading in all parts of the world. We nre taught by her life to ‘seek first the kingdom of God' above- all other things.” The ceremonies closed with solemn bene- Biction of the blessed sacrament. NEW OHOIR IN BLACK GOWNS Whirty Singers Attract Congregation ‘Which Listens to Rev. Yost. The new gowned chorus of St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church drew the eyes and filled the ears of the worshipers at Sunday morning's service. The ohoir, which numbers thirty, presented a pleasing appearance in its black gowns and sang in & way which showed effects of the train- fng received at the hands of Mr. Kelly. "The old chorus cholr was disbanded for the summer relaxation and its place taken by the quartet, which has furnished most sat- isfactory summer music. During this time Mr. Kelly was engaged to direct the new chorus, which should begin its work in the fall. This s the first Congregational church in the city to adopt the eholr gowns and the after-service comments heard were all In favor of the innovation. The evening rvice will hereafter be dlspensed with 8nd the 4 o'clock vespers substituted. “He spoke as one having authority and not as a scribe,” began Rev. Robert Yost n his discourse on the “Sermon on the Mount” “If I were to ask how many of you accept the sermont on the mount,” he 1d, “T doubt if any would refect it. But if you mccept this sermon on the mount at Christ's own valuation, you go & long way indeed in accepting the Christ of St. John. In these days there is an attempt made to explain all Christ's words by say- ing they were due to Jewlsh tradition. Now the scribes and Pharisees, I take it, were as well versed In Jewish tradition as any of nu- scholars of the present day t any of you will take the sermon on nu mount and examine it without preju- dice, you will not be struck by its wisdom, by its eloguence, but by its tone; it is the word of a man who has authority to speak. Here 1s o man who doesn't wpeak as any- one else; Ho had a flame in His eye, a fire | of gesture, which 1 accept as authority. ‘I have not come to destroy, but to fulfill,” are His words. He meant that He bad fulfilled everything that God ever lald on mortal man to keep. He sald by His words that the whole march and progress ‘of revelation during the century had besn coming to Him. What kind of man is it who makes a claim Iike that? Yet you ac- cept the sermon on the mount. But there is something back of that. He claims that | somehow He could take His disciples and touch death into life; that He could touch the dark and bring forth life; that He | could touch corruption and change it into the beautiful. To the philosophers and wise of all the ages He sald that he who {builded upen His commandments, bullded upon @ rock. No other man ever threw such a challenge. NATAL DAY OF THE MISSION, Sliver Anmiversary of Church of St. Philllp the Deacon is Cel ted. The silver anniversary of the founding of the mission of the Church of St. Phillip, the Deacon, was observed yesterday at that church, 119 North Twenty-first street, Rev. John Albert Williams, the rector, & young man of high Intellectual attain- ments and a pleasing speaker, made the address. “The Episcopal dlocese of Nebraska was organized thirty-five years ago by Mis- slonary Bishop Clarkson,” said the min- ister, “‘and ten years afterwards began the organization of the Trinity church mission by Dean Millspaugh, in the bar- room of the old Cozzens hotel on Ninth street with but five attendants, three boys and two girls. The colored population of the city of Omaha then scarcely exceeded 200, but today it is ten times that number. The mission was organized under the most discouraging circumstances, because of the prejudice against the colored people. But Dean - Millspaugh was unfaltering in his work, “The mission flourished with varying suce and fallure for some years. The prejudice against it was difficult to over- come, It was finally determined that the only possible way that colored people could be brought into the Catholic or Episcopal churches was through priests of their own blood and color. This same rule was and has always been observed in the progress of church work. The two sister com- munions of this country are compelled to recognize the colored people. Twenty-five years ago the wisdom of collecting the colored people of this community to enjoy and participate in the beautiful service of our church had its inception—September 3, 1878, in that old Cossens hotel barroom on South Ninth street, and it has since born good frult. It was the date of the founding of the Church of St. Phiilip the Deacon. “Dean Millspaugh of Trinity Cathedral recognized the necessity of enlisting the interest of a colored young man by the name of Willlam A. Green whom he took into his own study and helped along in the work. He was subsequently ordained a deacon, and eventually a priest and took charge of the work which he conducted for many years with varying success. The meeting place of the mission was then changed after a while from the Cozzens hotel to a hall on Sixteenth street. The indifference to the establishment of Dean Millspaugh's miesion by his parishioners was felt keenly by the dean, and he deeply regretted his inability to enthuse them fin this misglon work. Other faithful souls were enlisted In the work and the mission again changed its loeation to Nineteenth strest between Burt and Cuming streets. This new Jocation began to figure as a national gircumstance from the fact that the property was owned by the wife of President Cleveland. An unsuccessful ef- fort was' made to induce Mrs. Cleveland to donate the property to the mission, This was in 18%. The name of the mission was at that time changed to that of Bt. Phillip the Deacon, which it has since borne, How- ever, during that year the mission met with many discouragements. Bishop Clarkson died, and Dean Millspaugh was called to St. Paul. Rev. Mr. Green be- came discouraged and temoved to Topeka. Interest in the mission was again revived in 188 when Bishop Worthington lent it his encouragement -and assistance, and Rev. John Willlams, rector of St. Barnabas h, gave the mission one service each Sunday. In 1889 the mission again sprang into new lifc and in 1890 it was moved to its present location. Ground was broken for the present structure in July, 1882, and in November of that year the new church was dedicated.- The entire cost of the church was $1,000. The present rector took charge in 1891, about twelve and a half years ago." Additional ' services were observed dur- ing yesterday afternoon. Addresses were made by Bishop Millspaugh, now of Kan- sas, Rev. John Willlams, recter of St. Barnabas church, and others. FAITH THAT IS JUSTIFL Bishop Millspaugh Exhorts Hearers to Follow Exam) of Abraham. Bishop Millspaugh of Kansas stood be- fore the people of Trinity cathedral at the Sunday services, feeling, he sald, as though he was their dean. This was a home to him, he told them, and he asked the people of the parish to help him be of service to them in whatever ways he could during the week or ten days he would be here. ‘The bishop preached In the morning on the promises of immortality given in the Bible and on the faith, such as Abraham’s, which gave them their true value. The text was the fifty-sixth verse of the eighth chapter of John, “Your father Abraham re- jolced to see my day and he saw It and was glad." ““The infidel points out the vastness of the Christian olaims,” sald Bishop Milispaugh, “and asks, where does religion get its be- Uefs? How does it persuade its people that its dead Jesus Christ has power to change mortality to immortality? Where does the Christian's book teach of an immortal soul? “The Old Testament is filled with its promises; the Psalms and the Prophet abound in the declarations of immortalit innumerable passages show the persons who were assured of a life to come. Listen to Job: ‘I know that my redeemer liveth, nd that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet In my flesh shall I see God, whom I shall see for my- self, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.’ In these promises rests our im- plicit bellef and on these we pin our faith. The mode of realization we do not know. We are in the dark as to God's means, but we are in the light as to God's promises. “Abraham was ignorant of the exact ful- fillment of the promises. The patrnarchs knew nothing of the means, but they held & right and saving faith. A faith that was justified. Though things seem incredible there is no cause to shake our faith. How could our fathers have faith iIn the prophecies that were performed? Could anyone believe that ‘s virgin shall concelve nd that the chiid could be the Almighty Father? Did God require the church to un- derstand? Only belleve! “The church today is subjected to the same trial of faith. The scriptures have WEtten ln vela i we believe THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: not. There is a resurrection of the body and life everlasting. How can these things be? 2 “He hides Himself until the restoration of all things. Meanwhile like Abraham, father of the falthful, we live by faith Many shall come from east and west, from north and south and shall sit down—where? With Abraham, with Isasc, with Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.” . CAUSES OF INDIA'S PLIGHT. Congested Population and Extrava. &ance in Liv Says Rev. Wilson. The pulpit of the Knox Presbyterian church, Nineteenth and Ohio streets, was filled yesterday by Rev. 1. M. Wilson, a returned misstonary from Indla, who spoke on the condition of the people and the country in general. He spoke of the de- plorable condition of the people, stating that the impression was prevalent through- out the United States that the British gov- ernment was responsible for the manner tn which the people were living. “This," he sald, “was a false idea the people had gained in some manner. The real cause is the immense population of 2,684,000, extravagance of the people, spend- Ing often as high as two years' wages for a wedding, and borrowing money at an enormous rate of interest. Wages in India are down as far as they possiply can be put. As an example, laborers are hired at the rate of 4 cents a day. “The recent famine in India was caused by the faflure of the rains and the careless living of the people, who have practically no regard for the amount of any debt con- tracted. The progress of the mission work in the far east has been wonderful in the last ten years, there being at present over 970,000 Protestants among the natives. The number of Christians by the census of 1891 showed a little over 558,000, making a gain of almost the whole number at that time. The Presbyterian church supports forty- nine missionaries in the field in India, which represents about one-fourth the total num- ber of church workers there at present.” Rev. Mr. Wilson has spent almost nine years in the field doing mission work and expects to return in the fall to Indis, going by way of Seattle. Dr. Herring on Northfield. The First Congregational church resumed regular evening services on last Sunday evening, Rev. Mr. Herring, the pastor, having returned from his summer Vaoca- tion. The cholr was present in full force and all present enjoyed a talk on North- fleld and its summer conferences in leu of a sermon. A description of the old home of Moody, the great evangelist, and the institutions he so generously founded and fostered was given, and an aceount of the services of eminent workers along the line of Bible study was rendered. Hspecial pralse was given the Rev. Camp- bell Morgan, now in charge of the great work, and who is now considered by so many as the greatest llving preacher and exponent of the scriptures, and in closing the speaker eulogized the Bible as the most potent factor In the world's redemp- tion, as so influential in uplifting humanity, causing the miser|to become benevolent, the weak and erring to be strong for hu- manity’s sake, and the Book of Books the power of God unto salvation.

St. Louls is fast becoming one of the largest commercial and manufacturing cen- ters of the world, and has therefore much of interest to visitors aside from the com- ing World's falr. It has & number of mercantile houses and manufactories ranking first in their re- spective lines, the name and fame of which have spread throughout ecivilization. Probably none other of these will appeal 80 strongly to sightseers, from points both of immensity and general interest, as will the plant of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing assoclation. When, in 1865, Mr. Adolph Busch took charge of the concern which was then known under the firm name of E. Anheuser & Co., It was one of the smallest of its line in this country, but under Mr. Busch's skiliful guidance its business increased phenominally. New bulldings sprung up like mushrooms, but on foundations as strong as fortresses, so that now the handsome red brick buildings, trimmed with granite and white stone, pre- nt a beautiful city in themselves. From an output of 8,000 barrels in 1865 its sales increased to more than a milllon barrels per year in less than 30 years: However, the keystone to the ‘success of this great establishment was Budweiser, which on account of its rare mellowness, fine flavor and exquisite taste, immediately became & favorite among the beer-drinking people at all points of the globe, and now by far exceeds in sales any other brand of bottled beer.

BIG WAVE OF MIGRATION LAST_YEAR t Seant Minority of Cases Are s Due to Church Rel and Death Takes Only Few. Omaha has seen many changes in its pulpits during the last two years. Two or threo prominent resignations come to the mind of all, and others are remembered chiefly by those of the congregation, but a glance at the church list In the city di- rectory of 192 will bring out more convine- ingly than any personal -ecollections, the migratory nature shown by the clergy. These resignations and pulpit calls have not been confined to any single denomina- tion, and were not due, except with one Methodist to any regulation of the church, The thres most important churches per- haps to lose their religlous guldes within this perlod lately have been 'Trinity cathedral, the First Methodist and Kounts Memorial, and in the case of each the filling of the pulpit has been a matter of difficulty The vacancy in the pulpit of the leading Methodist Eplscopal church was, as most church people here know, caused by the death of Rev. Dr. A. C. Hirst in the early summer of 1%02 In the east, where he had gone in hope of relfef. Dr. Hirst had long been a popular minister and it was with considerable difficulty and only after long searching that his successor was found. Rev. E. Comble Smith was the man. Ho first entered upon the dutes of his office in the late fall of the year and still continues. One More Last Call. Trinity cathedral was likewise robbed by | death of the services of its venerable rector, Dean Campbell Fair. While this loss did not actually occur until last winter, the dean had in reality been unable to fill the | pulpit since the spring of 1%2 and as o supply during this period Rev. R. E. L. Cralg took charge of the cathedral. The latter's final departure from that charge for California was within the last two weeks. The parish has for some time been divided’ over the calling of a new rector. 1t has been understpod for several months that Mr. Craig would not remain and the vestry men have made frequent tripe to various polnts In search of a suitable suc- cessor. Rev. Eduard Frederick Trefz left his work in Kountz Memorfal church April 23 last, | to accept a call in Birmingham, N. Y., in| the pulpit of another denomination. Since | his departure the Memorial church has been without a pastor. Seward Street Methodist church lost its pastor, Rev. C. N. Dawson, after the con- | ference of last year and recelved in his | place the retiring presiding glder, Rev. Wil- liam Gorst from Neligh. Rev. Mr. Daw- son was one of the longest resident min- isters in the city at the time of his de- parture. He went to Wayne, New Pastor for Plymouth. Plymouth (Congregational church, Twen- tieth ‘and Bpencer streets, has just called pastor in the person of Rev. Clifford Snowden of Beerly Hills church, Chicago, atfer being without'an acting leader since the spring months. . Rev. F. A. Hatch,| who ~had occupled’ the pulpit for more | than a vear, resigned at that time because of {ll health and in“June last left the city for his old home In' New Jersey. About the ‘last ofithe old guard to leave was Rev. F. B. .Foster and the senfor pastor of his ‘dendmination of the First United Presbyterfan church, Twenty-first and Emmet streets. In June he recelved a call to the Franklin Street United Presby- terfan church of Johnstown, Pa., and August 15, his resignation was accepted here. His successor has not been chosen. The Becond Presbyterian church has mude & recent change in“its preacher, but was not without a hedd long. Rev. R. M. Stevenson preached his last sermon April 2 of this year, having resigned because of the pressure of his work for Bellevue college. His successor, Rev. Newman Hall Burdick, came here July 12 from Cedar Raplds to begin his work. Shortly after the natlonal meeting here of the Christian ‘church the North Side con- gregation of that denomination, holding services at Twenty-sixth and Grant streets, recelved the resignation of its pastor, Rev. W. T. Hilton, who had received a call from the Christian church of Sioux City. J. H. Bicknell came during November, s his successor. Rev. L. M, Kuhns Leaves. Rev. L. M. Kuhns of Grace Lutheran church preached his last sermon for that congregation January 13 of this year, he having been honored with the national sec- retaryship of the Luther league. The church was without a pastor until May, when Rev. M. L. Melick took up the work. 8t. John's Episcopal church at Twenty- sixth and Franklin streets lost & popular rector when Rev. C. H. Young departed, April 6 last, for Chicago to take charge of Christ church. No rector has been since then regularly in charge of Bt. John's. Castellar Btreet Presbyterian church was for some time without a preacher. Rev. ‘Winthrop Allison resigned in June of 1602 and his successor, Rev. Walter Reynolds, did not take up the work until January 10 of the present year. McCabe Methodist Episoopal church, at Fortieth and Farnem streets, recelved a new pastor, Rev. W, K. Grey, after the conference of 192, and lost Rev. H. G. Kemp, who had served for the preceding year. First German mission of the same denomination was left without a leader early in the winter of 12 by the traglic death of Rev. Mr. Rabe. The First Ger- man church of the same denomination had no pastor during the early part of 1902, but is now In charge of Rev., John Koehler. Monmouth Park church has in the last two years changed from Rev. A. A. Luce to Rev. L. K. McNell. North Omaha mission, which was formerly supplied by Rev. H. G. Kemp of MoCabe church, now has its own minister in the person of Rev. J. Q. R. Fleharty. The Norweglan-Danish church, at 1718 North Twenty-fifth, has in eighteen months changed from Rev. M. O. Block to Rev. H. Danielsen, In the Presbyterian churches Bedford was also in charge of the Southwest chapel | on Leavenworth street and an assistant to the pastor of the First church. Mr. Halsey | In February of this year accepted a call to Columbus, Neb, and was followed at Bedford Place by Rev. R. T. Bell, formerly of Blair.
