2 THE OMAJELA DAILY . .MONDAY , OCTOBER 2(5 ( , 1891. SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN , Btv. Mr. Mnckey Ditourao3 About the Obtervatoj of the Lord's Day. IAMAR TALKS ON OMAHA'S INIQUITIES. Jtclntlon of Christ to tlio Ijnw K\- plained l > y Uov. . ? ' WlUon A aicllioillflt Oltl Poo- . jile'H Service. A very pointed and practical discourses as nreacticd yeUcrday by Uov. Mr. Mackay , rector of All SaintKplscopal / church. The subject was "Man and the Sabbath. " Dur ing his remarks Hector Mackay said : " \Voinustrememborin our discussion of this subject that that the Christian Sunday , or Lord's Uay , as I prefer to call it , Is not Identical with the Jewish Sabbath. It Is , us was the Sabbath , a day of rest , but the rules of the ono do not apply to the other. The fundamental prlnclpio of Sunday observance was laid down by Christ when ho declared that the Sabbath was made for IIIDII , and not man for the Saobath. The man Is greater than the diiv. The well being , the Instruc tion , the comfort und rest of man is of moro iniportnncu than the strictest observance of the letter of the law. "Tho original mid fundamental idea In keeping ono day In seven separate , In setting it apart from the others , was the idea of rest. This Is the true basis on which to claim Its observance today. The farmer will seek rest in the house after his week's toll In the Held , the factory operative and salesman will seek in the Held the rest necessary to recruit their wasted energies caused by clnso con lino- inent. The man must bo the judge of the quality and quantity of the re-it he needs. And so in regard to Sunday observance the church of Christ has never laid down any rules for the guidance of Its followers , the only reference to that subject being the ro- nmrk ol the apostle : 'Not forsaking the as sembling of yourselves together as the man ner of some is.1 ' "Tho fundamental teaching of the fourth commandment U not im utter abstaining from nil pleasure , from every description of work , it Is not the attendance on places of worship nlono but a nreathlng into Its observance a spirit of life and love and joy unknown be fore. fore."Mon "Mon who habitually attend to their busi ness on Sunday forgot that they are not uko a machine which , when a part Is worn out , can bo replaced ; what they lese they lese forovor. They forgot that their bodies nro not their own ; no man has * a right to murder himself , ho is related to his family and to his fellow men bv tics that ho cannot disregard. They forget also that In thus abusing their bodies they are abusing their moral nature us well. "Lot us restore the Christian Lord's day to Its true place us n day of rost. Lot us nny to the man who tolls all the weak in shop , factory , mine , orolllcoThis : is your day ; mo it to recruit your tired body. Take the exercise necessary to balance the monotony of your hard week's ' work , and In the evening go to God's house and thank Him for his gracious gift of n real day of rest. ' "I would not stop our street cars on Sun day , nor our excursion trains or stcamors , bftt I would insist on the corporations that control them being compelled to employ an extra force of men on that day so that every man In their employ could have his day of rest. rest."I "I have no sympathy for thu men who are tr ; Ing to close the World's ' fair on Sunday. It Is n stop backward iu our Christian march of libarty and will tend to widen thu breach that already exists between the church and the working classes. The only valid argu ment so far advanced In favor of its closing Is the extra labor devolving on the omuloyes nid those in charge , but an extra force of men will remove this objection. For the closing of the fair on Sundays means the ex clusion of thousands of poor men. Do the mon who nro advocating such a measure realize - izo that there are hundreds of thousands of people who cannot afford to lese a day's pay during the week , and that every visit to the fair mndo by such people means a cur tailing of the necessaries of lifo } The protest against the opening of the fair reminds ono of what Macauloy said of the Puritans "that they hated boar baiting not because of the pain it gave the bear , but be cause of the pleasure it gave the specta tors. " ICcep the Sabbatarian ? away from the fair on Sundays. Let thorn give the poor people a chnnco to see the sights on that day , their day. Lot the rich go to church on that day in Chicago , but the man whoso object was to see the fair , lot him not bo disnpolntcd. " ON 1IIK OTU13II HAND. Dr. Ijnmar Laments tlio DcHeerntlon ol' tlm Sabbath In Omaha. Dr. A.V. . Lamar , pastor ol the First jjaptlst church , preached a sermon bearing upon the recent hanging , lynching , -and dis- tun auco that followed. His text was found in Ezekiel xxii , 1-3 : "Moreover , the word of the Lord came unto me , suylng. Now , thou son of man , wilt thou Judge' the bloody city ) Yes , thou shall show her all her abominations. Then sny thou , thus sayoth the Lord God , thu city shuddoth blood In the mlilst of it , that her time may come , and mnkoth Idols acuiust herself to deillo uorsolf. " Dr. Lamar said : "Tho facts are ihoso : The prophet , by a commission from heaven , Is sot as a Judge upon the oonch , nud the city of Jerusalem Is placed on trial as the prisoner at the bar. She Is lo bo tried nntt Judged because of her crimes In general , and of her bloodv deeds in particular. Tlio bill of Indictment against her Is long , and it is a bllla vera , n true bill. It is made out by him who Is omnipresent " , and omniscient , and cannot err. \Vo are sure , therefore , that the judgment of God Is according to truth. "Is there nothing in common between the undent city of Jerusalem and the modern city of Omaha ) Observe. Two weeks since our city witnessed two events that were cal culated to lilt the hearts of nil good men with n at range sadness and sorrow. Two men who were evidently as conscienceless villlaiis as the land produced mot their death ono by duo course of law , and the olhor by lynch ing nt the hands of a mob. Both of them reaped nol only what tboy sowed , but also what others sewed for them. However sad wo fool at the banging of a human being , oven by duo process of law , wo must own that the law which requires the murderer to pay for his crime by the death penalty Is according to the divine enactment given in the sixth chapter of Genesis , and runfllrmod throughout the ancient scriptures. Wo must admit that oven where there is nn knowledge of the scriptures there U n widespread and deep seated conviction that lifo lequlros lifo. So wo bow before the Justice of that vonilet that consigned Neal to the grave , though our hearts may bo sad above all utterance that a follow man should fall so low as to have forfeited hU right to live and to a place iu human society. "Tho crime of the ether was even greater , if ho was guilty and deserved swift , Justice ; but his guilt was not proven , and nil good men must deprocuto und deplore the shed ding of blood by mob violence , and the taking of human life without sunicluni evi dence of guilt. Yet when laws huvo been long violated ; when juries have been cor rupted and refused to convict the guilty ; when Justice is not meted out ; when human rights are long trampled Iu the dust at last a long Buffering community will r iso in Its might and wrath nud swoop the guilty from'lts presence. This last tragedy furnUhcs much food for thought mid has awakened in the minds of many a deep conviction that it Is high tlmo that wo call a halt. ' -These tragedies are the outcome of a preparation. They did not happen by chnnco but are the legitimate , development und fruit- ngo of principles of conduct that have swayed this city for Itvonty-llvo years. The prin ciple Is mill tnio that whatever n man sowolh that shall ho also reap. Ho that sowoth to tht > llcsh shall of thu licsh ronn corruption. If this is true of the Individual ft is ntso true of the community. If they sow the seeds of . lust thov will reap a harvest of crime. If they now illsreKiint of low tn y reap riots , bloodshed , carnage , disorder und disregard of human and tllvliiolaw. Observe the wide spread desecration of the Sabbath day that obtains la this city. A man does not have to reside hero long to observe how widespread nnd utter is the disregard of the claims of | llod't day.Vhilo all the days are God's , I yet in a special nemo ha has enjoined upon Ills intelligent creatures that they shall ol - M ervo one d y iu ioven in a special way , as li d eating their aouio of obligation to II1 authority , their dependence on Ills goodncs and mercy , and their desire to honor Him Ho had tbo right to enact anil to require the observance of such n law. Ho demands tlm Ho bo obeyed. But Is ( let Ono can onsll ; pot an Impression In this community thatthi majority of our citizens act as If God wo.- dead and ai If Ills word was obsolete am had nothing to say lo the men of this genera lion. Nn wonder , tlio re fore , that there Is such a widespread disregard of His oracles and contempt of tils authority. "I believe that the young man who daslioi a chnlr through that picture at the art uxbl oltlon last fall but acted out the Impulse tha has tilled tha hearts of 10,000 people in this city as they have felt themselves protesting against the dally exhibition of spectacul.i nudity by play pictures in public places. 1 women thus nttlrcd should make social calls at your homes they would ho putout of doors If they should appear on Iho streets thus ar rayed they would bo put In the lock-up. Am yet you go lo see such plays , ami pay otho fellows' slstors and wives for disporting themselves In spectacular nudity for your entertainment. In the nnino ol God's law which required woman since thn fall to np pear In tno presence of society In prone apparel , and in the name of our wives am daughter : ! I lift up my voice nnd call for tha enforcement of the law against Iho exblol lion of obsccuo pictures In public places. "There seems to be a widespread contempt for God's house and services. Aposlosj from church attendance Is a dominant trait of this city. By advertising , personal Invi tations , by free pows for the most part , b > house to house visitations , by all these am many ether ways , iho churches Invlto Iho pcoplolo cotno in nnd partiiKo of their bos- plUllty. And I believe 1 urn not talking wide of the mark when I say that these same churches , at great personal self-sncrltlco , would gladly double their capacity within a year If they had any evidence that the people - plo desired to attend God's houso. "Omaha is driving away her preachers. She is driving them away by negl''ct. There Is nothing moru destructive than neglect. In the four nnd n half years of mv rosldonro in this city many of your best ministers have Rone. Wo cannot get n hearing for out Savior , and wo fool thai as wo have but once lo live , It is our duty to roach as many people as possible , nnd hence , being unable to reach them hero , wo are going whore wo can got a hearing. " "Christ tuiil the Liiw. : " Rov. J. M. Wilson preached upon "Christ and the Law" yesterday morning. In closing Kov. Mr. Wilson had the lollowing practical application to muku of the arguments in his discourse : "Tho cud of the law is righteousness of lifo. Destruction either has no fear of God before its face , ami consequently Bursts asunder all wholesome commands and pre sumes that there is mercy without justice. The fruit Is bribo-tnklng. Sabbath-breaking , false-balances and murder. Sodom had reached the Ideal. Strange that wo should rest easy under a similar trend In municipal affairs. "Fulfillment in the person of Christ up held the Itilccrity of Gnd's revealed will. Ills was a faultless obedience. Even Judas confessed 'I have botruycd innocent blood. ' The la\v of murder has re ceived much attention of late.Thou shall do no murder. ' Whether the Son of God would have said , 'Lot the murderer suffer the penalty of death , ' may seem to some a question. Ouo of the foundation principles at the law was : 'Who sheddotli man's blood , by man shall his blood bo shod ; for in the imago of God made Ho man. ' And when Iho penalty Is executed conscience says 'Amen. ' Our sense ot justice is satlslicd. Lynching does violence to the 'law of love' ( put yourself , oven gulltv , in the condemned man's place ; , and is a backward stop in Christian civilization. Why may not thosamo hand that finds justillcation in such speedy execution of punishment now banbh the glaring corruption from our civil govern ment ; Let the work of reform go on. The public has n conscience , but has it the moral courage to attack ono of its size ? Anxiouslv do wo await. The church , the city , individ uals and the state uro sot to fulfill practically the divine will. WhatwHl bo tho" record of the next few weeks ? "Tho text emphasizes the fountaluhcad of authority in ethics , politics and rcliclon. Thu Messiah of the Now Is the Johovnb of the Old. 'I say unto you , ' 'heaven and earth shall pass away , but My words shall not pass away. ' Ho Is the law civor and Judge % the Savior and sovereign. 'Tremble and obey. ' " Oltl I'eoplc'H Service. There was an old "people's service yester day nl Iho Seward Methodist church. The Interior of the church was appropriately aoc- orutod with autumn leaves und the musfc was the old time hymns that were popular in church worship forty and II fly years ugo. Kov. Mr. Crane lined the hvmns , as of old , and the seats in front were tilled with old people. The poem written by Alonzo Hilton Davis , called "Tho Golden Wedding , " was rend by one of the young ladles of the church and iho pastor , Uov. Mr. Crane , delivered n short but appropriate address upon the joys and sorrows rows of old iiL'o. The meeting appeared to be very Interesting , especially for these who had passed the half hundred mlle post. All lovers of relined nnd wholesome comedy are assured of n rich treat In tbo forthcoming engagement of the famous comedian , Sol Smith Kussoll. Tlio arllst is so favorably known to our citizens that the simple announcement of his coming will provo sufllclont to crowd Iho theater. Amore moro mirth-provoking or thoroughly enjoy- aulo performance than thai given by lhat prince of comedians , will not bo afforded in our city again for some time. Mr. Kussell and hl superb company will appear In his new play , "Peaceful Valley , " at Boyd's ' now theater , for three nights and Saturday matinee , commencing Thursday evening next. next.Mr. Mr. John E. Warner , manager of Mr. Nat G. Goodwin , the well-known comedian , arrived In the city yesterday. Mr. Goodwin will open his engagement at Boyd's now theater on Sunday next in his now piny , "Tho Nominee. " On Tuesday evening ho will prcsenl "Tho Gold Mine , " closing his engagement Wednesday evening with "Tho Nominee.

FRANCE'S ' NEW TARIFF ACT , How It Will Affect the Importation of American Pork to That Country. HE WAS A SLAVE TO THE MORPHINE H 'BIT. Ilrlnlitefit Actlomi In- Hjilretl by Tlint Drug Month of a FumoiiH llorso Trainer Oen- urn ) Parisian GOHHI | | , P.uiis , Oct. 2. " > . Thu now tariff act cannot ho promulgated before thu end of the present year , therefore there will not DC suftlclout tlmo to make it the subject of negotiations between the powers before the treaties with them lapse. Thu government , accordingly , will tutroduco in the chamber of deputies a bill to authorize thorn to establish commer cial relations with foreign tuitions during tbo year ISO'J. The minimum tariff will bo ap plied to Belgium , Holland , .Switzerland , Spain , Portugal and Sweden , the treaties , with which will expire In February , on con dition that those powers grant Franco their lowest tariff rates. The minimum tnrilT will also bo conceded to those nations now having the most favored treatment , which Include Great Britain , Uus- sia , Mexico and Turkey. On the ether hand thu United Status , Italy and Uoumnnla nro subject to the maximum tarllT. The French government will request the powers to revive , during the year Ifllrj , the treaties relating to mivigntlon , trnilo marks , etc. The history of the debate In the senatorial tarllT committee In regard to the proposition for rescinding the prohibition of the Ihiportn- tlon of American pork goes to show that the senators who are opposed first urged n duty of ; io francs per hundred kilos in lieu of the rescinding contending that that llguro was about the same placed on pork under the McKinley bill. The proposal hav ing boon rejected the opposing senators thnn suggested yo francs per 100 kilos. After a long debate this also was voted down. The measure at length passed when amended to read , "J."i francs per 100 kilos , " and the op posing senators think it ought not to ire lower than Ciormany's rate. The government how ever , will demand that the senate vote the 120 franc rate sn as to agrco to the proposition , as it has already passed the chamber of deputies. Tro senate is likely to ultimately sunport the government demand. .Senator Do Cauvlllo in an interview xvith the Asso ciated press reporter yesterday , said that the fact that the hygenlo ob- jeolion to the introduction of Ameri can pone had quite disappeared would greatly help the measure throuch the senate. "I , for one1 , continued the senator , "am con vinced that the general condition of Ameri can swine has grown bettor. " M. L. lloy tteaullcu , the economist , and president of the Wine Growers society , has published an article In tbo Eeonomisto Fran- calso In which ho contends that the senate has no constitutional right to ralso the tariff rates which havn been lixcd by the chamber of deputies. Slnco the senate has no power to create new taxes , M. LJoaulIcu holds that it cannot vote to Incrcasn them though it may reduce duties. If the ques tion of the limitation of the rights of the senate is actively disuussed it is certain to lead to a conflict be tween the two houses and delay the passage of tbo tariff bill. The government is about to appoint M. Eugene Spullor , thu well-known "politician md formerly minister of foreign affairs , to : ho position of chief commissioner for franco at the Chicago Columbian exposition. M. Spullor has already made a visit to the JniteU States and will no doubt bo u valun- Mo man in his now plaeo. M.

M. Post , formerly a resident of Leon. Mr. Post has been a district Juilpo In Nebraska for ton or twelve years , u'ld Is now the re publican candidate for .supreme judco. In order to encompass his defeat the World- Heralit revamps the old cunrues ueainsl Mr. Post of twenty years ago , and by skil fully working Into said charge * just enough truth to gho thorn jin nppear.inco of fairness nud candor , pro duces it defamatory article calculated to do Juigo ! Post great Injustice. Our older citi zens , who know the charge ? inaJo and mot , and the general circumstances surrounding them , pronounce the nrliclo referred to grossly false and malicious , and a paper to this effect circulated in our city ycsterdav was signed almost unanimously by our citi zens without regard to political belief. 'I ho contemptible meanness of the news paper referred to Is shown by its sending a bundle of the issue containing the .slanderous article hero for distribution. These pa purs worn sent to members of the partv opuosod to Mr. Post , but. to their credit b"o it said , they refused to handle thorn and returned them to the publisher.- ; . In the article , among other falsehoods , it is asserted that Mr. Posi found Loon "too hot for him" ana emigrated immediately. Our citizens know this to bn fatso. Ilo was a cit izen of Leon for live or six years after the ulmrgos woru made. Hy appointment of Liunoral ijrant he was made consul to the Capo Verde islands in IS" ) , serving until ISrii , moving to Nebraska in the winter of 1S77. Ho was never italic tiki as this article charges , and was not expelled from the Ma son iu lodge. U'o can overlook or excuse a great deal In the heat of a political campaign , when used for political purposes , but the sending of these infamous papers into our midst exhib its a maliciousness ami meanness below the ordinary depths of partisan politics. Jutlgo Post has nothing" fear from a thorough investigation of his character and reputation In our midst , and if bis defamcrs will tiiko and act nn Orovor Cleveland's roplv to his accusers ' 'Tell the truth" and toll the whole truth and nothing but the truth , ho will not suffer , but be beuolltted by this shameful attack. The writer of the abovn bnlongs in the party of Judge Post's political opponents , but can not repress a feeling of profound indignation at thu uncalled for and unwar ranted dragging into the eos.s pool of partisan politics matters loiig ago buried in oblivion , and for a supposed partisan advantage tra- tinco an upright judge and bring suffering and sliuino upon estimable ana Innocent women and children. Leon ( Iowa ) Journal : The vile and foul midnight attack on Hon. A. M.

The dog fennel poli ticians hero who conferred with and pretended tended to furnish Information cither willully and maliciously stultified themselves , or the writer of the attnolt played false with his informants. Tno records of the Masonic Ipdgo of this place verify Mr. Post's pub lished statement In the Omaha HUB. The statement is as unfavorable to Mr. Post as the truth would warrant , and this is in Keep ing with his conduct during ttio entire trans action , ho at all times refraining from cast ing any reproach upon any ono or permitting his attorneys to do so. Ho was not Indicted , but exonerated bv the grand Jury. Mr. Post has always been hold in high oitoom by the people of this county. This sentiment prevails - vails hero today , and has been forcibly illus- tr.iUMl by the fact that Ilfty copies of the World-Herald were sent hero to a promlnont democrat and ho returned them with an In dignant 'ottor ' which \Vorld-Ilerald will not or dare not publish.
