The Christian Clinroli.
Her. A. Martin of the First Christian
church furnishes the following as nn oulllno
of the faith and distinctive features of the
church of Christ :
Origin or date of organization The flrst
Pentecost after Christ's ascension. Acts of
the Apostles , second chapter.
The foundation "Upon this rock I will
build my church. " Matt. HIS. ! : "For other
foundation can no man lay than that is laid
which Is Jesus Christ. " 1 Cor. ! lll. :
The creed "Thou art the Christ the son
of the living God. " Mutt. 10:10. :
The discipline "All Scripture Is given by
Inspiration of God. and is prolltublo for doc
trine , for reproof , for correction , for instruc
tion in righteousness , that the man of God
may be perfect , thoroughly furnished unto all
good works. " 2 Tim. 11:10 : , 17. *
Tlio nntnc : Individual names Disciples ,
brethren , saints , Christians. Malt. 5:1 : ,
Mutt. SJS : Horn. 1:7 : , Acts 11 : > ( > .
Church Name The church of Christ , the
church of God , llic church of Iho living God.
Horn , xvi. , 10 ; I. Cor. I. , 2 ; II. Tim. iit. . 15.
Conditions of Membership. ] . Faith in
Christ ; 2. Hepentniiceunlolife ; 3. Confession
of Christ ; 4. Immersion In tlio iiamo of the
Father , and of the Son , and of Iho Holy
Spirit.
"Ho that believclh and Is baptized shall bo
saved , but ho that belleveth not shall bo
damned , " Mark xvi. , 10. "Go ye therefore
and teach all nations , baptizing them in the
name of the Father , mid of the Son , and of
the Holy Spirit , " Mutt , xxvlil. , 11) ) . "Thus it
is written , and thus it behooved Christ to suf
fer , and to rise from the dead the third day ;
and that repentance and remission of sins
should bo preached in His name among all na
tions , beginning at Jerusalem , " Luke xxiv. ,
10-47. "Hepent and be baptized every ono of
you in the name of Jesus Chrisl for the re
mission of sins , and vc shall receive the gift
of the Holy Spirit , " Acts ii. , 38. Also read
carefully Matt , x. , 32 ; Horn , x. , 10 ; Acts viii. ,
, ' )7 ) ; Acts xvi.,31 ; Acts xxil. , 1C ; and Horn ,
vi. . 1-0.
The Worship "And they continued stead
fastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellow
ship , and in breaking of bread , and In pray
ers ; " Acts ii. , 42. "And upon the first day of
the week when the disciples came together to
break bread Paul preached unto them1 ; Acts
xx. , 7. "For as oltcn as yo eat this bread and
drink this cup ye do show the Lord's death
till ho come ; " 1 Cor. xi. , 20.
"Wo believe that the gospel of Christ is
God's ' power to save men , " Horn , i. , 10 ; 1 Cor.
i. . 21 ; "and that by ttie cross man is recon
ciled to God , " 2 Cor. v. , 111. In this we diner
from those who prav God to bo reconciled to
mail. God has not left us , but we have left
Him and we must bo brought back or recon
ciled to Him. Ho who is at peace with God
is reconciled to God's ' word , wisdom and plan
of redemption.
It will be seen by Ihis very brief outline that
the Christian church has no creed but Christ
mul no discipline but the inspired scriptures
of the old and new testaments. It has , there
fore , no human tests of fellowship , does not
believe in sectarianism , either in name or In
spirit , and is making an earnest effort to call
the people back or rather to bring them for
ward to new teslument Chrislianity. Its
government is congregational , and its only
officers lire these mentioned in the oracles of
God , viz : Evangelists , bishops or elders and
deacons. Of the doctrine of God , the divin
ity of Jesus , tlio personality and influence of
the Holy Spirit , and the relation of these
thrco divine beings in their nature , in crea
tion and in redemption , the church knows
nothing and leaches nothing only that which
is taught in the ' exact language of sacred
scripture. The s'ami5 is true rbout the resur
rection of the dead , eternal judgment , the
state of the dead , the punishment of the
wicked , and all those inllnito things that uro
too wonderful for us. Wo only desire to
preach as the upostleu preached , save men as
they saved them , as far as possible realize the
ideal church life described in the new testa
ment , imbibe the the spirit of ourDivine Mas
ter , transcribe His life in our lives , uud leave
the consequences with Him. "
Unitarians.
Kov. N. M. Mann of Unity church , when
asked to furnish a brief outline of lhat phase
of religious faith and fellowship known us
Unitarian , said :
"It is not easy to do this in the terms in
which a sect is usually defined , for Uiiitarian-
ism Is less a faith , much less a cult , than an
order of fellowship seeking by mutual help to
give a right direction and a better develop
ment to the natural religious sentiments.
However , as the fashion is to point out the
distinction of ideas in describing n church ,
there is no choice but to do that in this case.
"Tlio Unitarians arc Protestants of the
Piotcstunts , carrying Iho principle of Hie
'right of private judgment' to Its logical end.
Accordlnglv as a body they have adopted no
creed , for tlie creed is nn abridgement of the
right of private Judgment. Every Unitarian
forms his own opinions on religious and other
matters without restriction from the church.
Hence no ono has any authority to say what
the beliefs of Unitarians uro , further than
this , that the opinions of jieoplo thus left free
to form opinions will generally bo reasonable.
Of course , these who adopt this principle of
freedom must believe first of nil in common
sense. Wo believe what seems lo us to bo
rational ; wo believe anything and everything
which appeal's to bo supported by sufficient
evidence. It is hard to see how anybody can
do any more than that. At any rule Unitari
ans believe what they must ; that Is lo say ,
what Is necessitated by the laws of evidence.
"Standing on this ground wo muv come to
some conclusions not in accord with what is
called orthodoxy , but wo find ourselves in
good agreement with the leading minds in
science and philosophy. The universe is to
us a manifestation of God , and our faith in
its integrity is absolute ; Its laws are His
word , which is never broken. All truth Is
His word ; mid every disclosure of it a revo
lution. So the revealed word is more than a
book. Every man is our master so far as ho
can teach us anything of God , of His truth ,
of Ills goodness , or of human duty. So Jesus
Is but one , though the best , of many teachers.
Religion Is to us nothing If not practiced , and
perhaps a Unitarian Is bestdcllned as ono who
tries to do to others us ho would have others
do to him , for he has somehow got it into his
head that Ihis is the 'law and the prophets,1
or. in other words , the sum and substance of
religious duty.
"Unitarians believe that God Is one , that
the universe is one , " ono system of laws , one
moral government in all worlds of which this
earth is a sample , not a peculiar , exceptional ,
probationary place ) one human brotherhood ,
and 0110 far-off dlviuo Intent to which the
whole creation moves. " These uro KOIHO of
the unities to which Unitarians hold ; but let
mo say again , no Unitarian church requires
bellef'ln any of them not even In the unity of
God. You can bo a member and bollcvo in
the Trinity , or In all the gods of the Pantheon
or In none of them. All that Unltarlanlsm
exacts is that you be true to your own soul ,
and heartily seek to further the best inter
ests of mankind. "

The General Con Terence.
The Inland Christian Advocate has the fol
lowing comment concerning the general con
ference of Iho Methodist Episcopal church to
bo held in 1802 :
The general conference appointed for Oma
ha in lJ2 ! , will bo moved to Washington , D.
C. , if eastern influence can bring about the
change. The last /ion's Herald advocates In
a strong editorial , the chi'iigc from Iho chari
ly side. It will , accovding to the notion of
our eastern brethren , bo too bad lo compel
Omaha lo entertain the conforcneouml there
fore it should bo moved to Washington , and
the expenses of the entertainment paid by the
church ut large. Dr. 1'nrkhurst hints that the
session of IS'.K ) might bo held in Omaha"and
the city then relieved of the burden of enter
tainment. If then why nol in 1VJ2I
The holding of Iho next session In Wash
ington , the eastern press claim , would also bo
a great help and inspiration to the new na
tional university recently brought to the birth
by Bishop Hurst , There is no argument in
justice or equity that would satisfy the people -
plo of Iho west , if Iho locating com
mittee should change from the
west to the cast. It should be remembered
that no session of the general conference has
ever been held west of Chicago. The strength
of Methodism is in the Mississippi valley ,
and it would bo n gross injustice to the church
and cause of Christianity in general , all over
the west , to chungo the location for any other
reason than a refusal on the part of Omaha
to furnish suitable rooms for the meeting of
the general body and the various committees.
Why should a young and ambitious western
city bo forced in order to secure the setting
of .such a body as a great ecclesiastical con
ference to pay out of private funds $40,000 ,
when old and wealthy eilies with forty times
the wealth In llic membership of the church
are not asked ( mid would refuse if they were )
to pay one cent of private money , for the en
tertainment of the general conference. Other
bodies Congregational , PrcsbyterianUnited
Brethren , hold their highest legislative and
advisory councils , assemblies and conferences
west of the Mississippi river.
Is the Methodist Episcopal church so good ,
or are our New England peopleso refined
that they cannot look over the father of
waters } Such a meeting as the last general
missionary committee in Kansas Citv in No
vember was never held in New \ ork , mid
the meeting of our nexl general conference in
Omaha will nol only bo a help to the west butte
to the east. For contact , Of the conservative
east with the enthusiastic west would stir
the older mid wealthier centers of church in
fluence. A concerted action by district ,
quarterly and annual conferences should bo
tu.-en , mid slrong pretests tiled with the
committee against any change , even though
Omaha declined lo board Iho 500 delegates.
It is tin injustice to even ask Omaha to do it.
If the church is able to entertain the dele
gates in Washington it is in Omaha. AVe
trust that Bishop Newman and our Omaha
brethren will stand on their rights. Would
it not bo advisable for the resilient bishop to
call a meeting for council of the presiding el
ders of thu states bordering on Nebraska i

Sunday last was the first anniversary of
the organization of the Newman Methodist
Episcopal church and the event was fittingly
celebrated. Fifteen persons were received
into membership. A vigorous sermon was
preached by Hev. J. P. Hoe and addresses
were made by Dr. Foote , L. O. Jones and J.
M. Gilhin. The pastor , Hev. J. E. Ensign ,
made an interesting report , of which the fol
lowing is nn abstract :
"Ono year ago this lost Sabbath of March
was held the first public service in this
church under the auspices of the Methodist
denomination , The church consisted ut that
time of three members and one probationer.
This church was not organized , as clurches
often are , bv an overflow swarming from an
other church and hieing themselves in a new
organization.
"Wo have had no great revival , but wo ex
pect a great one. Our growth has been grad
ual. Ono year has rolled away and this
church has increased from four lo 125besides
eighteen have moved away and. have taken
their letters in the meantime. It was a bold
stroke when the bargain was closed , and this
church property was purchased for $10,000.
There was not a dollar in the treasury and , in
fact , no treasury ,
"Our Sabbath school has averaged nearly
150 during tlio year and has wised in round
numbers $100 during the year.
"Our Ladles' Pastor's Aid society has
raised over . * < iOO in cash. When the men have
not known what to do , the ladies have helped
us out.
"In round numbers we have raised , during
the year , 1,500. "
St. I'liilomonaV Cathedral.
An interesting report of the financial con
dition of St. Philomena's cathedral has Just
been made public. 'Tlie report covers the
period of the administration of the present
rector , Hev. P. F. McCarthy , from October
S , IsS'i , lo March 1 , IbOO. The lotal receipts
during that period were $ tt.1,0in.3.'i ; expenses ,
§ 53,237.CO , leaving u balanceon hand of
i7 7.75.
When Father McCarthy took charge of the
cathedral the liabilities amounted to 614-
2y2.fi1 * . This sum was swelled to . ' 0,675.7 : ) bv
Iho erection of a much needed parochial resi
dence. Notwithstanding this increase , the
total liabilities were reduced by $12,850.20 ,
leaving the present debt of the church
SS.01U.44.
The period Included in the report was ono
of the most trying , financially , In the history
of the cathedral. New ! pnrlshos had been
carved oul of its original limits , taking away
the bulk of its wealthiest members. Thou
sands of dollars were required lo pay for Iho
pavements surrounding tlio property , and
costly repairs , including new stained glass
windows and steam heating1 were required in
the ehuivh.
All these improvements made n severe
drain upon the generosity of the reduced con
gregation , but by economical management ,
current obligations wcro met , the improve
ments paid for and over S < ) ,0 < )0 ) of the original
debt cancelled. The report rellcrls credit
not only on the congregation , but ulso on the
business ability of Father McCarthy and his
zealous assistant Hov/ . F. Caroll.

Classic , gowns are conspicuous among
dresses of latest design and as yet , preserve
the udvuntsgo of limitation lo loaders of
fashion. Antique models us lo corsage and
sleeves are faithfully copied , while draperies
hang in these simple oullincs , which for cen
turies have challenged admiration. It may
be presumed accordingly , that empire gowns
retain position as being close akin to the
classic , and such is the case , followers of an
opposite school , patronizing princessc cos-
tunics , which with various modifications may
likewise be classed as prominent. The catholicity -
olicity of style is furthermore made evident
by innumerable touches characteristic of
many ages , and the woman of today has ,
therefore , the benefit of all that is best in

In accordance with classic thought , Greek
key passementerie is very fashionable and
appearing in black. Oriental and metal com
binations are preferably placed as n border
around the simple , straight hanging skirt.
A'andyke patterns are still extremely popular
and produced not only in passementeries , but
lace and white embroideries that may be
more or less supplemented by velvet ribbon.
Sutincs and ginghams will , in an especial
manner , be relieved by additions of white
embroidery and velvet , u typical dress of
gingham showing n border pf white Vandyke
embroidery with side panels made of black
velvet ribbon set in rows. Vandykes of em
broidery appear on the corsage , where they
form n yoke , and tlio points meet a velvet
belt. Cuffs of white embroidery. Black
lace woven in Vandyke points is run on so as
to show off the pattern and a proportion of
passementeries are still in Eilfcl tower de
signs with points prolonged far beyond Van
dyke limitations.

and with great inanpropriateness , show
enormous squares traversed or bordered by
lines that embody the utmost abandon uncl
boldness in coloring. Stripes , however , arc
conspicuous and may alternate with or be en
tirely composed of floral patterns while this
spring a very favorite idea is the depiction of
leaves and blossoms on a ground work of self-
colored stripes. It appears in silks of all
textures and predominates in grenadines and
other semi-diaphanous fabrics , a lovely ex
ample chosen by Mrs. Ceorgo Gould , showing
sprays of apple blossoms on n black surface
of stripes. This was in India silk and it can
bo added that both China and India silks were
never in more demand. Japanese wash silks
are delightful wear in summer , being soft ,
cool and in half inch stripes of delicate color.
Fuillo or gros grain are the choice in plain
silks of heavier texture than the oriental
varieties ,
SHOUT WHIPS
wcro never quite so tasteful as this season
and come in bewildering variety. Armurc
silk or velvet compose the groundwork on
which is set elaborate trimmings of passe
menterie finished by lace , but a greater num
ber of summer garments are made entirely of
lace and ribbon which show front ends reach
ing to the bottom of the skirt and from such
extreme , in many gradations arrive at such as
are very short. This season also , there is at
times , a notable Increase of length at the back ,
but only nt times , since man v garments are
very short. Capes uro a world in themselves
und follow wraps as to material , the most re
markable in both being those made of pliiided
wqtilen goods. Throughout the entire range
of outdoor garments , whether long or short ,
the pointed yoke is u marked feature and
serves often us u foundation for pretty fan
cies ,
NOTKS AND AXSWrilS.
Arched moresque parasols arc an elegant
novelty of the season und finished with fringe
present an extremely uttraetivo appearance.
Both light and dark woods are used for han
dles and though not so very long as last year ,
many have a screw joint liv means of which
they can bo taken apart and placed in u trunk.
Dressy parasols are of black or white net em
broidered. and there i.s a largo supply of
others in India silk , plain or flowered , while
heavier silks are striped or plaldcd to match
dress fabrics. The jockey parasol has twelve
gores with four narrower than the remaining
eight and of n contrasting material , by means
of which a unique contour and general effect
la produced. An exceptionally pretty novelty
shu\vs ribbon plaited in basket style mid form
ing the entire cover. Hibbon of alternating
or graduated shades brings about some
charming results.

Quiet Mfo Homo First of Alt
Youthful Anna Dickinson.
She was a young married woman who occu
pied a very unique position , Inasmuch as after
five .veins of married llfo her husband'was
more in love with her than ho wat when ho
first married her , says the Kew York Sun.
She kept quiet during Iho long discussion nt
to num-lago , but at last , calmly stirring her
ten , she said In a low , sweet voice : " 1 have
never said much on that wonderful question ,
'Is marriage n failure1 ! but I must
have my little say. In this coun
try marriage will always bo a fail
ure until women are educated lo bo wives
rather than mothers. Do not imagine for one
instunt that I undervalue a mother's love , but
I do think that the first and strongest love of
n woman's heart should go to her husb.md ,
mid that her children should como next. Do
you remember In that curious book of Hal-
zac's 'Cotislu Hole , ' what the virtuous wife
said to her husband , after she had endured
seeing him devoted first to ono woman , then
toanolherl She n saint , a pious mother , a
devoted daughter , n woman adored by tlio
poor , nml whoso llfo was pointed to
us the ono that nil young women should
copy , asked : "Show mo how it Is that
these women have made you love them. I
will try. Why have you not made mo what
you wanted of mo I There are soiuo who
think me still handsome enough to court. '
That great student of human nature made
this woman , the wife , ask the questions that ,
properly answered , solvoi whether marriage
is a failure or not. He says himself that the
man of superiority , equally with tlio common
man , feels the need of the Ideal and material
pleasures both. The rare being who combines
them is sought for in marriage ; but , alas , be
cause of the lock of education for wifchood
she is found , as a general thing , in two
volumes.
"The Hussion woman seems to have solved
this question , for her husband and her sons
adore her. while her daughters are always put
away with their grandmothers , or ut convent
schools , ami are brought out when it Is time
to marry. She is thought from her girlhood
that not only to win the love of u man , butte
to hold it , is tlie duty of every woman , uud I
believe that marriage would bo oftener a suc
cess if our American girls were taught this ,
too. I suppose that is one iv.ison why wid
ows nearly always malic good wives. " The
women nil listened to this monologue , and not
a few of them thought about It afterward ,
and began to see wherein the wisdom lay , and
how It was that the sweet-voiced little woman
really possessed a husband in love with her.
Man's Flattery o ! ' Women.
I would also ndvlso young women not to
depend for happiness upon the flatteries of
men. It is a poor compliment to your sex lhat
so many men feel obliged in your presence to
offer unmeaning compllments.writes tlie Hev.
T. DeWitt Tnlmago in the Ladies' Homy
Journal. Men capable of elegant and elabor
ate conversation elsewhere sometimes feel
called upon at the door of the drawing room
to drop their common son o and to dole out
sickening flatteries. They say tilings about
your dress , and about your appear
ance that you know , and they
know , are false. They say you nro an
angel. You know you are not. They tell you
that ' 'you arc looking singularly beautiful
this evening , " when you know very well that
the remark is only a commonplace one. Some
men think that n conversation with a woman
is interesting-only as it is dotted uud spiced
with iluttcries and meaningless compliments.
Determined to tell the truth in office , and
store , and shop , they consider it honorable to
lie to a woman. The same thing that they
told you on this side of the drawing room ,
three minutes ago they said lo some one on
the other side of the drawing room. Oh , let
no one trample on your self-respect. Tlio
meanest thing on which u woman can build
her happiness is the flatteries of men.
AVoinen in Atitliorsliip.
Women are more and more forging ahead
in authorship , and it Is astonishing to note
the large percentage of manuscripts scut to
the magazines written by feminine pens , says
the Chicago Journal's New York letter. 1
was talking on this point to a magazine ed
itor a few days ago and ho said : "Fully
two-thirds of our manuscripts during the
pt ; year caino from women , and their work
was of a higher grade than ever before. Of
course , there i.s an endless amount of trash ,
but I really think I have begun to look more
to women than to men of late for actu
ally good work , mid women uro ba
coming more versatile in their writing. Only
losl week a Xew England woman sent mo
two short stories , a poem ami an article In one
mail , and 1 assure you they were astonish
ingly equal in merit. I accepted all four. If
I were asked the ono fault which women have
in writing it would be lhat they are apt to
write too hastily and necessarily carelessly.
They seem , in too many cases , to have the
end of a story or article too prominently in
view , and seem anxious to reach it. The con
sequence is that they are apt to wli.it wo call
'slur'1 over some parts ot whatever they may
be writing. They wrlto too much for the
finale , and are careless over lliu dcluils. "
Homo First.
Let borne stand first before till other things !
Xo matter how high your ambitions may
transcend its duties , no matter how fur your
talenU. or your influence may reach beyond
its doors , before everything else build up a
true homo ! Ho not its slave ; bo its minister !
Let it not be enough that it Is swept and gar
nished , that its silver is brilliant , that its
food is delicious , but feed the love in it , feed
the. truth in it , feed thought und aspirations
feed all chanty uud gentleness In it , says
Mrs. Beecher. Then from its truth
shall comu forth Iho true woman aud
tlio true man , who shall together rule
and bless the land. Is this an overwrought
picture ! We think nol. What honor can bo
greater than to found such a home ? What
dignity higher than to reign its undisputed
and honored mistress ? What is the ability to
speak from u public platform to largo audi
ences , or the wisdom that may command a
scat on the Judge's bench , compared lo lhat
which can insure and preside over u true
home that husband and children "rise and
call her blessed I" To bo the guiding star ,
the ruling spirit , in such u position , is higher
honor than to rule an empire.

copy Iho Parisian fashions , The itroltlcst
women nro the Usher maids , who go niMiut the
streets barefooted with ther baskets of fish on
their heads , ufter Iho fashion of fho Egyptian
women with their pitchers of water. Some of
these girls nro remarkably pretty , and. stmngo
to say , their fei'l are small mid ucllcuto look

cooking .stove in Iho kitchen of a disin
terred house , and on opening the lump a
perfect mould of a suckling porker was
disclosed. A cast was talcon of the hol

Saved by a Presentiment.
However the matter-of-fact may scoff
at llio idea , there are such things as pre
sentiments. Nol long ago a Boston man
received a large sum of money , as treitb-
urer of an organization too Into to de

suburban residence , says the Boston
Time. " . It worried him , this money , in
a way hi1 could not iindeYsland/

money which does not belong to nieV"1
So strong was this feeling Uial lie could
not got to sleep- 'ol ; no was ashamed
of himself. Saying nothing to his wife ,
lie got up , took tlio money from his coat
pocket , put it in iiis stocking and throw
it under the lied. In tlio morning his
wife said to him in a joking way : "I
wonder what condition you were in when
you came to bed last nigetV Tliere'a
vour coat on the floor , your vest is out
in tlio hall and .your trousers are across
llio doorsill. " Being a man of steady
habits it did look suspicious. It did not
take him long , however , to discover that
burglars had been through tlie liouso
and his own money and wateli were ta
ken. But Ihe blocking under llio bed
was safe.
