ineiiti of III Popularity ,
The pulpit of the First Methodist church
was last right occupied by Prof. H. M.
Hamill of Jacksonville , III. , who for the
past ten years has been engaged In ad
vancing Sunday school work , and Is In the
city to attend the International conference
of the Sunday schools of Omaha and vicin
ity , which will probably result In the forma
tion of a Sunday school union. In addition
to the congregation of the church In which
the services were held the congregations
of the St. Mary's Avenue Congregational ,
the First Presbyterian and the Westminster
Presbyterian churches were present , the pas
tors of these churches , Revs. Butler , Me-
Cormlck and Gordon , being on the rostrum
with Rev. Frank Crane and Prof. Hamill.
Prof. Hamill spoke on the "Sunday School
Idea , " and In his address outlined the
progress of Sunday schools , their advan
tages and ths forces that were necessary to
strengthen them In the future. In the
course of his address he told many anec
dotes which he had gathered In the many
years he has devoted to his work to IllUb-
tratc the propositions ho laid down.
Prof. Hamill said that the Sunday school
Idea was one of the greatest religious Ideas
and was the one which dominated In the
church. It runs down through the history
of the church with the same Importance at
tached to It , for God always looks out for
the young.
young.BEGAN IN THE HOME.
It first existed In the home , but It does
not properly belong there , although It often
furnishes more of the homelike than the
homo Itself. Then came the teaching priests
who went out Into the land and were fol
lowed by the Levltes , whose duty It waste
to Instruct. This early germ of the Sunday
school can account for the fact that the
Jews still Instill more Instruction Into the
mind and soul of their children than any
other religious sect.
Later the old testament makes mention of
the synagogues which were found on every
hillside and In every valley. These syna
gogues furnished lyceums , or debating so
cieties , for the young , and were also the
centers of the social life of the people.
Their doors were always open to the chil
dren and youth , and there they received
their Instruction. The new testament
rounded out the Idea In saying that the duty
and the holiest ofllce of the church next to
preaching from the desk , was the care and
instruction of the children. This Idea was
grasped by the ! great reformers , Luther ,
Knox and Wesley , who were careful to In
still their new and advanced Ideas Into the
heads of the youth. Within the last twc
or three decades the Idea has been taken
Into larger bounds , until now the Sunday
school has become the dominant Interest
of the pastor and the congregation of a
church. From It has sprung all the youn ;
people's societies and Christian associations ,
but while these have come Into the church
the Sunday school still remains above them
all.
WHY IT IS POPULAR.
Prof. Hamill then went on to explain th <
popularity of the Sunday school. In the
first place , he eald , that It furnished a dooi
open to all. To those of 111 repute , to the
evil , as well as the good , Its doors are open
Thus the Sunday school has become dearci
to the hearts of the people than anything
else. The speaker stated that wherever hi
lias ever gone as the representative of tin
Sunday school Idea , even among the low , hi
has always found a welcome. It brings i
touch of refinement into all homes. Thi
child discovers this and takes faster step :
to the Sunday school than to the publli
echool , because he Is going where he wll
receive a tenderness and love and klndllnes :
which he sometimes does not flnd at home
As a second reason of Its popularity th
speaker eald that It appealed to the opm
heart of the child , It put Impressions upo :
Urn mind and Uie consciences of the clill
which would never be erased. Consequent !
ho was In favor of sending a child to the Sun
day school when It was 5 years of ago o
oven younger. In the fact that the Catholl
church took such care of the little' chlldrc
bo found a reason for the popularity of thn
cftiurch and remarked that If the Protestan
church of the world would follow Its exam
pie It would have the best weapon for brc-aV
Ing the Catholic power. In view of this th
speaker said that he would rattier devote hi
llfo to the teaching' of youth than to fill an
other position In life.
The third and final reason wlilch Pro
Hamlll assigned for the popularity of t !
Idea was the fact that In the Sunday jchoi
a place was found for every one and ever
one was put In his proper place. There w :
no one so low that the Sunday school coul
utllUe him. In the 250,000 Sunday school
In the country there were about 10,000,0 (
pupils. There was need , however , tliat tt
brainy business men bo called In more tha
they were , although It was by no means nci
cssary to be brilliant to aid In the worl
The teachers In iM\ vast and Important woi
took time from their business to study p :
tlently. They received no reward hero belo
except that of a clear conscience.
SHOULD HOLD HIGHER PLACE.
To give greater dignity to the work , hov
ever , the bpeakcr said that It was uccensai
to place It more In the hearts of die peopl
The Sunday school should not bo called tl
nurseryof the church. Prof. Hamill defim
the modern Sunday school as the church <
JcsUs Christ , either for studying or teachlt
the Holy Scriptures. If one could not teat
lie should attend for Instruction. The coi
Btant tendency of the men of business to d
vote their entire time to their pursuits hi
wholly led them away from the devout etiu
of the bible which , prevailed In the ear
days of the country. This tendency cou
only bo suppressed by getting back Into tl
old channel and this could only bo accor
pllshed by attending Sunday school eltli
for study or teaching. Men could not 1
brought Into close enough contact with tl
bible by listening to sermons. Consequent
the speaker urged all , whether young1 or ni
to attend , particularly the leaders In socle
or politics or commercial life. Jt they d
not feet Uie need of It , they should neverth
less attended for the sake of furnishing an e
ample to the young men. The most vex
tlous problem to bo solved was how to g
the young men to become members. Youi
men wore Inclined to gravitate Into the ste
of their employers or seniors and to co
their virtue' or vices. Therefore , If t :
seniors attended Sunday school It would
far toward solving the problem. The speak

"Aiming at the Ideal" was the subject ol

words : "Let VB hear the conclusion of the

for a religion of both heart and life ns the
result of a wide and deep experience , that li
of a life trying to realize Its Ideal by keeping
Its ethical aim constantly In full view , The
full Ideal of man as originally contemplated
In hi ? creation in the Image of God Is realized
alone In Christ , and , through a life hid with
Christ In God , In the saints. Although
Christians are to aim at the stature of man-
houd In Christ , of course , completeness of
perfection Is not to be expected In th's life ;
and the best man you know on earth Is not
without his faults and fallings.
Review your own personal experience ;
study , for example , your conflict of will with
that of the divine will revealed , cither In the
Ten Commandments , or the Beatitude" , and
the practical conclusion , after a swirl of
vanities , Is the antidote for vvorldllnejs , fear
God and keep His commandments. Earthly
things , In the nature of the case , arc unsatis
fying to the spiritual aspirations ; are full of
disappointment and dissatisfaction , and the
only practlcil alleviation of the present llfo
ls > not In suicide , or other crime , but In holdIng -
Ing fast the conclusion , as a personal law of
life , that the reverence of God and cbeJIencs
to Him Is the only perfect freedom , the eman
cipation of truth.
Follow this thought to where the ftnllo of
Olivet lighten ? the frown of Slnal , and , In
the love test of dUclpleshlp , It becomes the
ethical aim of Christianity In the supreme
purpose of redemption and providence. Tills
throws a cheer Into your llfo as , under such
a sense of duty , you develop a ptrong , ster
ling manhood , In'ended alike In creation and
redemption. So Christ says'Tiko heed ,
and keep yourselves from all covctousncsj ;

As a prelude to his sermon yesterday Rev.
Frank Crane of the First Methodist church
spoke of the Cuban revolution. He said :
"Senor Danosxj Cortes once said In the
Parliament at Madrid : 'No Frenchman Is a
republican. Why , then , Is Franco a repub
lic ? Because a republic Is a necessary form
of government for a people'"who are un
governable. ' This sharp tilt might with jus
tice be made against the entire list of Span
ish-American republics. Their democracy
does not seem so much a love of some form ol
government as a grudge at all forms. The
student of history will bear In mind that the
republic of the United States Is , In spirit ,
foundation and character , as far removed
from the republics of South or Central
America as the north pole Is from the south.
This struggle of Cuba to be quit of the
Spanish yoke Is part of the closing chapter
of the long 'story of Spain's decay. In the
days of Philip II Hlspanla held nearly ths
whole New World In Its grasp and was the
master of Europe. But she only used her
power for pillage and persecution. She tied
her fortunes to the chariot wheel of bigotry
pledged all her gloiy to the vain effort tt
bolster up the toppling edifice of a medleva
faith , and has since beheld her crown ol
International prestige taken from her , lie ;
wealth shrunken to poverty , her colonial pos
set-slons , one by one , wrested from her grasp
To one who contemplates this national trag
edy , In which the centures are 'acts' am
each generation a 'scene , ' there must comi
a profound conviction of the Just vengeanci
of the Ruler of the Destiny of Nations. Foi
if ever opportunity was misused by the mos
despicable Belllshne3 , or power exercised b ;
the bloodiest qnd > crudest of tyrannies , It ha
been In the case of Spain.
"While the rise of the North America !
states reads like the dream of a dawnlni
millennium , the story of brutal lust , Inhu
man slavery , unvarying treachery and mor
than hellish religious Intolerance of the Soutl
American countries Is one of the most re
voltlng In the dark annals of human deprav
ity. The hand of God writes plainly upo
the page of history that the nations , aswel
us men , fhall be judged 'by the deeds don
In the body , ' and that people who violate th
laws of the Governor of the Universe shal
sooner or later lie shipwrecked upon som
dotolated shore while the stream of progres
flows on.
"As for the outcome of all this Spanlsr
American land , from Mexico to Argcntln :
the pulpit sees some gleam of hope In th
present efforts to form a Central America
16ague or republic. If this idea shall t
carried out and. the Central American com
tries , with Cuba , shall form one goven
inent , stability may bo assured. These cour
tries are practically new land , their n
sources undeveloped , their magnificent poi
simmics practically untouched. Thegrei
cause of their backwardness today is tl
unstablllty of government , the Insecurity i
life and property. A tyranny Is more benel
cent than perpetual turbulence. There Is or
man among these Spanish new world peep
who In remarkable measure unites the Ire
decision of a king to the diplomatic ski
of a president ; a man who Is practlc
enough to suit his times his policy belr
RUmarcklan In Its character and yet liber
enough to welcome English capital and moi
ern protestantism ; a man who. If chosen
tbo presidency of this new Central Amerlct
republic , would Insure Its prosperity and , i
much as any man could , its permanency-

Excursionists \\cro very much to the front
jesterday In Onialia , They arrived early
from all parts of the county , the railroads ,
particularly the Union Pacific and Burlington ,
bringing Into the metropolis nearly thirty
car loads of excursionists from the territory
about Columbus and Hastings , although al
most as many car loads were taken out of
the city by the Burlington and Elkhorn , the
former running three special trains of Omaha
and Council Bluffs people to St. Joe , while
the Elkhorn took nearly 700 employes and
friends of the employes of Hayden Bros , to
West Point. But with this large number out
of the city Omaha suggested a real touch of
metropolitan llfo yesterday , for the first time
this season , so far as out-of-town visitors are
concerned. They congested the hotels , lunch
counters and down town restaurants. They
applauded the Second Infantry band to the
echo , although odious comparisons were made
with the band of the Second and the artists
who make up the brass at Interior places. But
they liked the fort band notwithstanding , and
thought t'liat some of the pieces were "out of
sight. " Not content with the green of
Hanscom park and watching the equipages of
the swells as they drove through the park , the
visitors went to the ball gime nnd "hollered"
for Omaha. Then they went to Courtland
beach , took a turn on the switchback and
wahted to shoot the chutes , but the manage
ment has not got this far In entertaining
and they were compelled to be content with
the mild pleasures of the merry-go-round and
listen to the consumptive barrel organs grind
out tomethlng suggestive of "De Bowery , "
with a plaintive wall about never going there
any more. But everjthing went yesterday
with the visitors and they wenso thor
oughly well taken care of that when state
fair tltno comes around they will renew ac
quaintance with the "metropolis" as ono
bucoljc jouth , swinging the hand of 5ils "best
people , " remarked , as he waded through the
sand to the amphitheater , w'nero two strong
acts were put on for the pleasure of the
people.
It would be hard to say how many people
were at the beach yesterday , although up to
6 o'clock 4,000 admissions had been paid at
the central gate. Last night's crowd seemed
quite as large as that of the day , and It
seems a safe statement to make that 7,600
people enjoyed the host of attractions yes
terday at Courtland. The crowd was decid
edly reminiscent of the big days Courtland
had last year , and It gave confidence to those
who mean to make the beach this year more
popular than ever before.
As for the attractions presented , they arc
upon a high order , Achllle Phlllon's act on
the spiral runway being sensational and de
cidedly new to Mile part of the country. The
runway Is eighteen Inches wide and extends
flfty feet above ground , and up this spiral
way Phlllon rolls a huge ball , his foot be
ing the propelling power. But not contenl
with this achievement , when forty feet above
the earth he carries the ball over a cable
which Is twenty feet long or more , bring !
the ball back to the topmost point of the
spiral tower , and then , amid a shower o :
rockets and Roman candles , he rolls tin
ball to the ground , making a sensatlona
picture and onp of the best specialty act :
' seen on the stage. The Benl Zong Zonf
Arabs give Interesting examples of groum
and lofty tumbling , while their pyramids an
formed with dexterity and exceeding aptness
There were other features at the bead
that attracted attention , and the visitors wen
home well pleased with their day In Omaha

DAY'S ' OUTING AT WEST POINT
Annual Ficnio of the Employes of Haydcn
Bros , Yesterday ,
ONE THOUSAND WERE ENTERTAINED
Citizens or the VuUcct Oil ; 1)1(1 All In'Ihrlr
I'nITcr to Muke the Onjr nn Ka *
jjyiihtu One Winner * In the
Afternoon Contests.
The second annual picnic of the employes of
Hayden Bros , was held at West Point yes
terday , regardless of threatening weather.
The party that left the Webster street de
pot at 8:30 : was one of the largest picnic
parties which Omaha has furnished for some
time. It took thirteen coaches and a baggage -
gage car for Its accommodation , the entire
number of passengers who took the trip
being fully 1,000.
The trip was accomplished In three hours
and was most delightful , as the route lay
through one of the richest regions of Ne
braska. The scenery was a continual succes
sion of rolling hills , clad In nature's choicest
livery of green. Ffcld after field of corn and
grain was passed , all showing the effects of the
refreshing rain of the early morning , which
had poured an abundant supply of water upon
the crops along the entire route.
The train was accompanied by the Seventh
Ward band , which played several selections
as the company rolled along.
WHERE A THOUSAND ATE.
Arriving at West Point the picnic party was
headed for the grounds , lying in the grove
west of the mill. The procession moved
through the streets of West Point , escorted
by the West Point band and a special com
mlttco of citizens , who expended their best
efforts In making the occasion an enjoyable
one to Omahans. The s'reets were decked
In gala attire , banners and American Hags
having been fli'ng across them , while the
stores were profu ely decorated.
The shady grove on the banks at the Elkhorn -
horn , In which the picnic baskets were
opened , afforded a complete protection from
the hot rays of the sun , for by the time the
train had arrived , all trace of the storm of
the night previous had disappeared. Thirty
tables , bet beneath the trees , gave ample
room for the unloading of the good things
contained In box and basket.
Perhaps the chief center of attraction , at
least until the Inner man was satisfied , and ,
owing to the heat of the day , this took some
time , was the public stand , which was gen
erously supplied by Ha ) den Bros , free of
cost to all who wished to partake of their
hospVallly. One hundr d gallons of Ice-creim ,
300 loaves of bread , 300 pounds of ham , three
cases of lemons and ten barrels of lemonadj
were dispensed to the dry and thirsty crowd
during the day.
The West Point creamery generously rup
piled the picnic with several wagcn loads of
buttermilk.
Many of those who did not witness the
sports spent the time In fishing and visiting
the West Point creamery and brewery an.1
other points of attraction.
A largo platform , erected In the center of
the park , was used to good advantage through
out the afternoon by the joung folks for
dancing. The music was furnished by the
Seventh Ward band.
Many pioneers of West Point partook of
the hospitality of the day , among the number
being Messrs. Nellgh , Sonnenscheln , Kloke ,
Glfford , King and Melcher.
WINNERS OF THE GAMES.
On the grounds the sports were begun by a
ladles' race , which was won by Carrie Hart
tlii > prUe for the fifty-yard dash being a silk
parasol.
Thu boys' race was won by Eddie Krause
prize , base ball and bat.
A shoe-race was won by William Schneck-
enberger ; prize , a hat.
The men's race , seventy-flv e-yard dash
was won hands down by Copple , the champion
sprinter. The prize was a Siat.
A warm game of base ball was played In
the afternoon between a picked nlno from
West Point and the Hayden Bros. ' nine. The
seven-Inning game played resulted In the
Omaha team winning a prlzo of 11(110 ( sweaters
on a score of 11 to 7. The game was wit
nessed by a thousand people , who showed the
enthusiasm usual at a warmly contested bal
gamp.
A race between AI Marks and J. Burdy fo :
$25 was won by the latter.

Among the numerous excursion and plcnli
parties yesterday , not the least enjojuiblo was
the one given by the Bohemians at Coffman
station. The Bohemians' National Cemetery
association had charge of the affair and th
five coaches full of excursionists enjoyed the
day much. The excursion train did not leave
at S 30 o'clock , but at 10:30 : , on account o
the rain and threateningweat'ner. . After the
late arrival at Steyer's park the day was
given up to music , dancing and games. Tin
party returned at 11 o'clock last night.
