The threatened split in the Presbyterian
church nt the coming meeting of the general
assembly In Washington next May , grow Ine
out of the heresy charges against Prof.
Brlggs of Union Theological seminary iiml
Prof. Smith of Lane scmltmry at Cincinnati ,
furnished the subject of Uov. Ur. Gordon's
sermon at the Westminster Presbyterian
church yesterday morning. As the proba
bilities are that from 100 to ! MX ) leading
ministers of the church will le.ivo the de
nomination In n body next May , the sermon
by Ur , Gordon Is of moro than usual interest ,
reviewing , as U does , the controversy leadIng -
Ing up to the present situation.
Hov Ur Gordon began by s.tylng that ho
felt It his duty at this time to say something
of the threatened division In the church ,
which ho characterised as a serious state of
affairs Ho would attempt testate the origin
of the present situation , the position of the
Presbyterian church upon the points at
Issue , scriptural reasons for certain doctrines
and the outlook for the future.
Kvrnnl of the Controversy.
There has been for several years , ho said ,
a dcsiro to revise the confession of faith because -
cause many held that It taught doctrines not
scriptural. Four years ago a committee of
the general assembly reported certain
amendments , vhli-h would show that the
church repudiated the doctrine that God has
elected persons to everlasting destruction
nnd that infants di Ing in Infancy are lost.
Other matters , which scemi-d personal , had
arisen to dl.stract the attention from moro
important matters.
A professor in Union Theological seminary
had saiit that the human icason , the church
and thu bible were all fountains and sources
of divine knowledge , and that through anyone
ono ol thcho salvation might bo had. lie
further s.ild that men , after death , passed
into a state of progressive banctilication.
Ur , Urlggs , for it was ho , failed of election
at the next meeting of the gcncr.il assembly ,
and tlio seminary continued him In tbc chair ,
thus causing a breach. Soon afterwards
Prof IJriggs and Prof. Smith wcro tried for
heresy , which trials resulted in the ac
quittal of Ur. Brlggs and the suspension
from the ministry of Prof. Smith. Last year
the general assembly passed the "Inerrancy
resolution , " which contained substantially
a declaration that the inspired word , as it
cnmo from God , Is without error. Thus there
were four subjects to complicate matters.
There were some who would make these
questions of religious liberty , but ho did not
bellovo that was proper. Ho thought the
matter of chief interest in the controvcisv is
the question as to whether or not the bible
is exempt fiom error. The speaker then
procco cd to answer the following question ,
which had been propounded to him : "Uo
you Indorse the dellveranco of the general
assembly at Portland on the inerrancy of the
scriptures. "
AVlint thu Controversy
Such on Inquiry , said Hov. Gordon , sug
gcsts three questions :
"First What is the meaning of tilts reso
lutlouf It contains a declaration and a recom
mendation. Tlio declaration is very carefully
drawn : 'The general assembly would remind
all under its care thai it is u fundamental
doctrine that the old and new testaments are
the inspired and Infallible word of God. Our
church holds that the inspired word , as it
came from God , is without error. ' It will bo
1 noticed that themorounusualword'incrrant'
is not used and that the expressions are 'in
H spired , ' Infallible , ' 'without error. ' This ia
not asserted of tlio King James or revised
versions , or of the bible as wo have it , with
x possible errors of printers or their prcdcces-
BOIS , the copyists or translators. 'Our church
holds that the inspired word , as it came from
God , is without error. ' To deny this is to
contemplate the possibility of an inspired
word us it came from God , or an 'original
autograph1 that contains errors , thus admit
ting the possibility that God could originate
errors. Such a possibility Is subversive ol
all revealed religion.
' The recommendation accompanying this
declaration is addressed to ofllccrs of the
church , thus recognising the basal theory o :
Presbyterian chuich government , that doc
trinal lists are applied to odlccrs , while
none are applied to communicants. In
admitting members to the church wo never
ask of them assent to a creed. In inducting
oitlcors into oftlco wo always do. It says
Mf they change their belief on this polnl t
Christian honor demands that they should I
withdraw from our ministry.1 It puts no
stain on their characters , does not attempt
to coerce their consciences , but asks them to
quietly withdraw and attach themselves to
some church with which they are moro In
hainiony.
" "Second The next subject for Inquiry Is ,
* Had the general assembly a constitutional
right to pass this resolution J Understand
that the rights of the humblest member of
the Presbyterian church are as carefully
guarded by our constitution as are these oti-
nny cltUcn of the United States by its con
stitution. The charge is mada that this reso
lution makes a new test of orthodoxy or that
it virtually amends the constitution in an
illegal way. That this is a new dogma re
mains to bo proven. If the doctrine , not
only of the Presbyterian church but also of
the church universal , has not always been
that 'tho inspired Word as it came from God
is without error , " then almost all of the
church fathers , the doctors of the mcdlioval
church , the theologians of the reformation ,
nil'tho Westminster divines were mistaken.
I could quote j on passages from Luther ,
Molanethon , Calvin and almost every ortho
dox di\ inn down to the late Dr. Henry 1 }
Smith , showing that they held that the
scriptures do not err. That the general as
sembly has not only the right to do so , but
that it Is Its duty under the constitution to
call the attention of the church to crave
errors , Is In my Judgment unquestionable.
Not thu l.uw of tlio Church.
' No ono supposes that this resolution is a
law of the church. Hut If it shall happen
that In aci'ordaiico with its direction some
minister should bo tried and suspended by
his presbytery , if an appeal from the ver
dict should bo taken nnd carried by duo pro
cess to the hluhcst ludlcatory in the church ,
nnd that court should decide that the confes
sion of faith when properly Interpreted
makes It essential for all who hold ofllcial
positions to bellovo In the inerrancy of the
scriptures , then this test of orthodoxy would
bo oftlclally determined to bo an integral
part of the constitution of the Ptestiyterlan
church. Until this Is done the general as
sembly was clearly within Its constitutional
rights when It recommended the presby
teries to take such steps as would determine
in an orderly way ami by duo process of
ecclesiastical law whether belief in the In
errancy of the scriptures is csscuti.il to :
these holding oftlcial positions.
"Third llut ono question remains. Do I
approve of this resolution ? I do as the
proper and constitutional way of setting In
motion a train of events which will eventu
ally determine the controversy authorita ;
tively , and because I do most heartily bellovo ,
that the Inspired word as it came from God
is without error. Next Sunday mornnifi , idI
propose examining candidly and In the llirht
of the very highest critical scholarship the
alleged errors of the biblo. "

Uov. Ernest O'Neal of the Plato Center
Methodist church of Chicago preached at
the First Methodist church jeatorday mornIng -
Ing n most eloquent and effective sermon
uj > on the "Divine Paradox. "
His text was found In the second chapter
of Matthew and third verso , wnlch reads as
/allows : "When Herod the king heard
HICBO things ho was troubled and all Jcrusa-
Join with him. "
The speaker said that while the mission of
Jcsua Christ upon the earth meant nothing
but pMCO and good will to men , and while
the object of his suffering wan to rcstoro liar-
mony nnd love In the hearts of men
yet to Roma his advent broug'it
trouble. Thrro were four kingdoms ,
older than any of the dynasties
actively represented nt the time Christ was
born ; tlio kingdom of nature , the kingdom
of knowledge , the kingdom of worliUlricss
nnd the kingdom of unworldllncss. The
kingdom of nature rejoiced nt the advent of
thu Christ child , the kingdom of knowledge
in the personnel of the magi worshiped
Him and presented rare gifts of gold , frank-
Inscenco nnd myrrh , but the kingdom of
worldllncss , represented In the person of
Kim ; Herod was troubled. The kingdom of
unworldliness was represented by the holy
Child , the King of Kings.
Itrllgliiii * ICclittlon tn Science.
The eloquent young dlvlno then took up In
regular order and with a grasp and potency
tikin to genius the relation that the Chris
tian religion bore to ho four kingdoms men
tioned. There was no conlllct between the
Christian religion and nature. Christ did
not dcslro a man to bo unnatural. The
nearer ono got to naturo-thc nearer ho got to
nature's God. There was no actual conlllct
between the kingdom of knowledge nnd the
kingdom of Christ. There was a time when
the professed Christians seemed to fear that
the hammer of thu geologist might break
the Uock of Ages , but that day had passed ,
'a'ho true Christian church of the present
day was anxious to let In the light. The
Christian church was today the foster
parent of knowledge. Men were encouraged
by the Christian church to delve into the
very heart of the earth and peer into the
depths of the unknown universe in order to
search out the great secrets of nature.
"For wo know , " said the speaker , "that
all these hidden streams of thought will ,
like the subterranean currents that How
under the hills and the mountains , at last
open out into the broad ocean of God's eter
nal lovo. "
King Herod was troubled because he rep
resented that which tended to drag down
the human nice , that which blotted out the
noble aspirations of the human soul and
made of man only a greedy , sordid brute ,
bucking only temnoral power and self-
aggrandizement. Against this spirit of de
vastation and sclllshncss the Christian re
ligion must and would forever contend.
iil'ict : on InilUlilii.'ilH.
The speaker applied the thought to the in
dividual hearts of his hearers and asked
them if they had not experienced a conlllct
In their own souls between the love Inspired
by the teachings of Cluist and the love for
worldly things.
Ho closed in an cloqucn * , peroration in
which he portrajed the effects of beautiful
aichilecture , line musiennd eloquent preach-
lug upon the people. While all these seemed
to fail in the work of regenerating the heart
and saving men. there was ono lemedy that
never failed. It was the presence of the
spirit of the Master In the pulpit.
Pconlc should learn to bow low at the foot
of the crobs and ask earnestly and with con
trite hearts for wisdom and help. Wherever
that'kind of a spirit took possession of a con
gregation and a pastor the work of Christian
regeneration would triumph.

Rev. T. E. Cramblet's sermon last evening
at the First Christian church upon "Ttio
Gambling Evil" was well attended , every
pew in the church being tilled. It was sus
pected that the sermon would have partic
ular reference to the evil in this city , and in
tins respect it was not disappointing.
Hov. Cramblot began by quoting , as his
text , Kings , xviii , 18 : "Art thou ho that
troublcth Israel ? " Ho likened the condition
which existed in the time of Ahab to that at
the present time , showing that when the
cry of reform went forth it was met by the
cry that the reformers were bringing
trouble upon the city or state. Such n
charge was merely dust to blind the eyes of
the people to the true state of affairs. The
failure to enforce our laws relating to gam
bling and the social evil , and thu sharing by
the municipal government in the revenues
derived from these vicious sources traduced
much moro the name of our fair city thtin
any robulas administered by reformers.
Things had como to a pretty pass when' our
city authorities replied to these { who asked
for the enforcement of laws that fanatics
knew nothing about matters practical.
The speaker then proceeded to examine
the nature of gambling and the position or
relation of the gambler to the community.
Ho was not a producer but lived upon the
gain of others. The extent of the gambling
evil was great. It included the small boy
who played marbles for keep , the man who
ossed n nickel to see who should pay car
are , and the R ay company In the parlor \\ho
laycd whist for piizcs. Atlcipts
ad been made to cniuso gam-
ling on the ground that it was
the result of n natural propensity among
men , but this ho did nnt believe. Gambling
was called chance , but there was no such
thing ns chance. Upon becoming en
lightened men see that all things are gov
erned by law. The pagan believed in chance.
Ho lavished money at the altar of fortune ,
thinking chance would favor him. IJut a
civilised people did not believe in such a
theory. The gambler himself did not be
lieve in chance. Ho loaded his dice , marked
his cards , put springs in' his faro box , fixed
bib wheel of fortune so that ho could stop it
wherever ho chose. Ho was the most sclen-
title man in the city.
Gambling deadened tha conscience , the
moral scnbibllitlcs of men , and in this way
was Injurious to society. The remedy was
not in the daily press , which was lillcd with
accounts of prize lights , horse racing and
similar matters , nor in the legislature ,
which was dominated by the immoral ele
- ment , but In a better education of con
science. The idea that gambling is a
moral wrong should bo so strongly and gen
erally impressed that men would resist all
temptations to gamble. If true to Christ ,
men would bo safe from all such temptations ,

It was n gala night at the Salvation Army
barracks. The army was out in force
and entertained Its congregation with
vocal and Instrumental music , preaching ,
praylnp , story telling , shouting , clapping of
hands and wound up with a wedding.
It was the lirst wedding which had been
publicly celebrated by the army in this city ,
and constituted tlio drawing card of the
evening.
The building was crowded to the doors ,
notwithstanding the fact that an admission
fee was charged. Everybody was invited ,
and it seemed as if everybody attended. The
altar was decorated with Hags , lace awl
bunting. Above the heads of tlio speakers
was a placard In largo letters ,
which read : "United for God. " On
the walls back of the altar \\ero hung
several smaller placards , ono of which read :
"What Is it ? When Is iti Where is it ? To
bo continued. " Another read : "A big go
hero Sunday and Monday. Finis. "
Upon the altar and at either sldo even to
the walls of the church were seated Adjutant
and Mrs. Harris , len ladles robed in white
who were chosen to escort the bridal couple
to the altar , soldiers and oillcdrs of the army
in uniform , and several notables from abroad.
Among these were : Captain Campbell of
Council olufTs. and Captain Ul.\ko and
I.leutcnanXCartur _ of Hastings. These gen
tlemen were , as suhspqucnt events proved ,
leading spiiits in the proceedings of the
evening.
Volli-ycd mid Thiinili-roil.
Adjutant Harris led oft with a song , ac
companied by the sounding of brass and the
clapping of hands. This ilnishcd , knees
were bent for prayer , but to the surprise of
the congregation a song was struck up. Mrs.
Harris then prayed , the devout soldiers
greeting every good' ' sentiment \\itli
shouts of "Amen , " "Hallelujah , "
"Glory , " etc. Then followed an
other song with piano accompaniment
and Captain Bluko and Adjutant Harris of
fered prayer.
Upon arising , the adjutant spoke in praise
of the War Cry. "It's our paper and a good"
' "That's right , halk-lujah I" shouted Cap-
Dlako , "paper and I hope you'll all buy one , "
said the adjutant. Copies wete then p.issed
nbout and offered for sale , Mrs. Harris in the
interval singing i"Hidinjr in Thee , " the con
gregation joining in the chorus.
Thnrc isn't lifu enough in the singing.
Throw off this stiffness , " exclaimed the ad
jutant. Captain Blake jumped to Ills feet ,
swung his right arm around a number of
times like a wheel and smilingly resumed
Ids seat. He had indicated to the congrega
tion that he was "limbering up , " and the
congregation laughed heartily.
"Now , we'll sing 'Lot , Us Have Sunlight. '
Haven't we got sunlight ! " aslted the adju
tant. "Yes , " shouted Captain Blake , "yes , "
and the song went on. with .tambourines ,
banjos , piano and handclappiiig as accom
paniments.
Captain Campbell talus : "Yes , there is
sunlight In my soul. Somebody said I wasn't
married ; but I am married. 1 have now a
partner on earth and know that I shall have
ono in heaven. "
ItruiiKht the lilucksmltli to Terms.
The "laughing , howling Captain Blake , "
as the adjutant styled him , came to the
front. "Yes , I am glad for salvation , " ho
said. "Wo are all happy and smiling. Show
me one in this room who isn't smiling and I'll
have the bouncer put him out. Wo have
made many converts In Hastings. We saved
n woman whoso Imir was cut short and
stuck out like quills , and who was full of
style and covered with paint. After wo
converted her she combed her hair down
and put on a hallelujah bonnet. She mar
ried a blacksmith , who weighed ail pounds ,
and brought him to our meetings He didn't
like it because I had a hand in her salvation.
He said 'I've got It in for you and I'm going
to put it onto you , and right now. ' Well he.
tried to spoil my face. I dodged , of course ,
nnd the moro ho struck the moro I dodged.
He said 'You've meddled too much In my
affairs.1 Now , I didn't want his vi ifo , I was
expecting ono of my own ; but he kept right
un. 'You can't handle yourself , ' said I ; 'you
dodge pretty well ; I'll try a gun , ' said ho ;
'all right , ' said I ; Til fight vou with a gun ,
but it will bo a gospel gun. " I fought him
and won the battle. The Ix > rd converted
him , and I just believe the Lord used that
tussle or 'scrap' as a moans to that end. "
Mrs. Harris sang very sweetly "Beautiful
Gates Ajar , " the adjutant as a prelude relat
ing how his little boy when dying requested
his mamma to sing it for him. Mrs. Harris
could not restrain the tears. In the course
of his remarks the adjutant told of his court
ship , how Mrs. Harris and ho had met In
. church , how they had been converted on the
j same day and had been married on the aamo
j day.
I Then came forward Captain Shattuck
with his banjo and entertained the congre
gation with a few songs , finishing with "Wo
Are the Army , " during the singing of which
Captain Blake danced. " 1 have seen the
time , " remarked the adjutant , "when I
thought the army was going to sink "
"Blacksmith and all , " shouts Captain Blako.
"Some ono take the captain out , " laughingly
exclaimed the adjutant.
"Now wo shall proceed with the marriage
ceremony. These young ladies in white will
march to the anto-rooin and bring forth the
bride and groom if they have not eloped , "
remarked the adjutant.
"And if they have eloped , " exclaimed
Captain Shattucksomebody else must got
married in their place.1
"You will march to the hall In couples , "
commanded the adjutant , "you , lljllillll
Shattuck and Mrs. Harris , leading the way.
Oh , what n lovely sight that is ! " ho remarks
as they filed away. "Butoo'is me , Mrs.
Harris is gone ! "
I " .1ml So They Wcro Miirrlril. "
, Presently the bridal train appeared , and
[ people turned their heads and craned their
i necks to get n look at the brldo and groom.
There they came at the head of the proces-
slotC keeping step with the music the bride ,
tall and slender , dressed in black , with u
white sash about her form and a "halle
lujah" bonnet upon her head ; the groom ,
likewise dressed In black , marchlmr with a
linn step and wearing upon his face a serious
look. They advanced to the altar. They
kneeled nnd bowed their heads in prayer.
The muslo ceased. The adjutant advanced
and read a selection from the bible , and
read also the articles of marriage. "Steji
forward , " ho said , "if you know of no reason
why you should bo JoineJ in marriage and
repeat after mo , 'I know of no lawful Im
pediment , etc. ' You will Join your
right hands. Comrade William Son.'mer ,
you will say after meI call or
all to witness that I take Annie Maria Olson
to bo my lawful wedded wife , to live with
her , etc. Sister Olson , you will repeat the
same. "
Then taking the bride's loft hand in his ,
the groom places upon her linger a ring.
"Mr. Sommer , " continues the adjutant ,
"you will repeat after mo , 'I put this ring
upon your finger to signify that wo are mar
ried , " " etc. They again joined right hands ,
the adjutant stepped behind them , and ,
placing his hand upon theirs , formally pro-
TJie only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. No Ammonia ; No Alutn

Trouble has broken out between the
brewers and their employers and there is
danger of a stiike. The drivers of beer
wagons have been asking an increase of 1
to 42.50 a week , which has bocn refused by
most of the employers. It is said that some
of the men make less than * ( > ' ' > a month now
and that the proposed scale will increase
the wages of many to 480.
The MoU brewery agreed to the advance
demanded , both for brewers and drivers.
Jotter of South Omaha granted the request
of the brewers , but denied that of the
drivers , and itsjproposition was rejected.
The other firms offered tougrant the Clncjti-
natl scale , which is lower than the wages
demanded , and the union is considering the
proposition. Omaha is said to bo the only
city in which the drivers are admitted to the
brewers' union.

Indif/cstion is not sucli a
simple matter as it sounds. That
sensation of fulness , if disregard
ed , soon grows into positive pain ;
and then farewell to all the plea
sures of life. I got into such a
state that I became at last a
chronic invalid , and could do no
thing. Business , hobbies , work
of all kinds , social intercourse ,
home ties , and everything became
a bore. All I could do was to sit
in my cosiest chair and read.
And it is rather remarkable that
when you have no definite object
in life you can always read a
paper. When the news of the
day is exhausted agoodadvertise-
mcnt is quite a treat. My eye
fell upon Johann Hoff's Malt Ex

FIVE THOUSAND MEN will stop In front of our
big Douglas street window this week and be
lost In admiration of what they'll see displayed.
Four rows of as | handsome suits
as ever went on o "bust" will
meet their eyes , There will be
but six styles of suits but six as
handsome styles are sol-
dorn shown at one time In one
window. Hand-
some and at-
tractive as the suits t Ii e m - ,
selves are- '
there's some-
thins else in that window
even more attractive-and that's the price that's at
tached to each suit. Half the suits in the entire win
dow bear a card like the top one of the two in the
center of this ad and the other half carry the $6.75
card. The $5 75 suils of which two whole rows are
shown are in handsome checked cheviots in
four separate shades and styles in both round and
square corner sacks. Through the glass you'd take
them for eight or nine dollar suits
and you would n't bem'stakcn.
The suits at $6.75 are in fine
all wool fancy cheviot s in
brown and gray mixtures- the
newest spring effects m ado
u p elegantly with fine linings
and trimmings , "The Nebraska"
sold such suits Special. for ten dollars a
year ago ( and our neighbors
got four dollars more , Six hundred of these suits
go on sale today-at these prlces-and if any of your
neighbors happen to ask ' 'What's Nebraska doing
this wesk , " tell them that we're holding our
Annual Spring Suit Sale.
