The fact that Illshop Newman was to oc
cupy the pulpit at the First Methodist
church yesterday morning brought out a
congregation that was only limited by the
capacity of the auditorium. Kvery scat In
the building waa occupied clear to the fur-
thrat row In the gallery. After the Intro
ductory exerclica the bishop preached an
able discourse , taking for hlfl subject the
"four Original Hcllglons of the World. " Ho
took the position in the beginning that not
withstanding the dissensions of various gen
erations and many schools of jihllosophy ,
thcro are but four original conceptions ot
man's religious nature. Mohammedanism
docs not constitute an original religion , for
thcro was nothing original In Mohammed.
lie had never engrafted an original thought ,
and oven , the Koran was borrowed from the
books of the east. Ho had undoubtedly been
n great man In eomo respccto , but he had
never given ua an original Idea by which
wo could suppress vice or develop virtue.
Passing to tlv ! four systems which he con-
Aiders worthy of a place In his classifica
tion , the speaker referred first to Buddhism.
In this case the founder of the creed waa a
prince , boriv In a pilace and bred In all the
luxury of the Orient. H'tdnha had given to
the world an original thought , but It Is In
sufficient to meet the demands of nun's re-
llglous nature. Ho was a man worthy ot ad
miration , but whcii his religion Is contrasted
with Christianity ho Is unworthy to be the
religious teacher of the human race. Ills
theory was thai vlco Is a product of unrest
and virtue merely a state of absolute case ,
the surccabi ! of desire. The speaker con
tended that the cffoct of this theory would
be to destroy our manhood , for no man Is
really a man without the passions that God
had planted In him. The gratification of his
passions within the limitations of law la
us pure as an angel's tsong. Buddhism In a
declaration against nature. What has been
the result of Its teaching on the 180,000,000
of people who follow this man ? Has It
eupprrascd vice or developed virtue ? It lua
developed a spirit of gentleness that might
well bo copied by the ChrlJtlan world , but
It has never promulgated a social or liter
ary system.
OIJRDIRNCfi NOIt INTELLECT.
The rellgici ) of Confucius was clteJ as an
other of the four original creeds. This Is a
religion oJ obedience. According io the the
ory of the Chinese philosopher vlco came
from Insubordination tinii virtue would be the
product of a complete subordination. This
theory has bem worked out lu China , where
the obedience of children to their parents
end of tlio younger to the elder Is a charac
teristic of the people. Hut with what result ?
There Is no such thing as those moralities
which unflerly Chrlstl-ui government and so
ciety. There Is no truth , no respect for
property. The rite of marriage , na we under
stand It , Is unknown in China. Confucius
had said that a man had a right to divorce
his wlfo If she was sick , If ehe was Jealous
of another woman's cloak , or If she talked too
much. The religion of Confucius has given
toitlio world no social order , no literature , no
private virtue or public morality.
The third original religion was found on
* ho banks of the Gauges. Drahma had pro
mulgated the Idea that vice had Its residence
Intile flesh and virtue In the Intellect. Ho
contended that when itho flesh was reduced
to the minimum * and the intellect developed
totho maximum , the problem was solved.
Ills theory line been working out for over
3,000 years. There are no such Intellects
In the history of the world as has been found
In India. But Intellectuality has failed as a
means of suppressing vice or developing vir
tue. In this land of glant 'Intellects , twe-
tSilrds of the children' were thrown to the
crocodiles. Widows were dressed In their
bridal robes and compelled to mount tiie
funeral pyre where reposeJ the remains of
their dead husbands. Their sen applied the
torch and the smoke ascendea.
It was only when the Son or cod descended
from heaven to give to humanity His con
ception of religion that fco ralth was pro
mulgated tiiat would reach the desired ends.
In the light of that religion the believer lo
taught that ho needs light and purity and
power. Light to know whence ho came and
whither ho Is to go ; purity ito clear him of
nil his transgressions of the dlvlno law anl
power to comtat Hie powers of darkness and
itho temptations 61 the flesh. Neither Duddha
nor Confucius , nor I ) rah ma could give us any
satisfaction In any of Ihtb'e ucslres , but tlio
religion of Christ fulfilled them all. Do we
nsk light ? Ho said , "In my Father's house
arc many manslcns. I go to prepare n plnru
for you. " Did we ask how wo could became
pure ? Ho had declared that His blood would
make Uio foulest clean. Do wo ask for
power ? We can find It In the Holy Spirit ,
which Ho has said "Will touch thea and
purify thco and thou shalt bo whole. "

The pulpit of the First Presbyterian
church was yesterday occupied by Hov. A.
A. Klehle , D.D. , pastor of the Calvary Pres
byterian church of Milwaukee , WIs. Dr.
Klclile uses a manuscript , but ho does not
read closely enough to detract from his
delivery. Ills voice Is clear and his enuncl-
atlrn remarkably distinct.
The two discourses of the visiting clergy
man were heard by two largo congregatloiiHi
that present at the morning service being
exceptionally numerous. The front of the
church was prettily decorated with chrys
anthemums. Thu music was good , u con
tralto solo by uMlss Palmer being especially
praiseworthy.
The me ruing sermon was based on the
text , "What Is that In thltia hand ? " found
In Exodus Iv 2. In his Introductory remarks
the preacher briefly reviewed the difficulties
that confronted iMoses when he was about
to assume the leadership of Israel. The
text of the surmorv contained the reply of
Qed to Moses' doubting. Moses held a rci ]
In his hand. God changed It to a serpent ,
and as a sign to Moses of God's watchful
care over him changed Itback to a rod
when Moses pinked it up , ns commanded.
In the course of his sermon Ir Klelilo
said : "In almrst every Instance of this
kind God has proceeded en this plan. In
extraordinary works ho takes the very simple
" SOLID-not Liquid ! "
Do not confuse "Cola this" and
"Kola that "with

that the great bulk tf llfo Is unnttractlvo

This Is so because -their lives are not con
nected with the divine.
USES 'FOIl COMMON THINGS.
"The meaning of the rod which God gave
unto Moics Is that the most common things
In our control may be no wrought upon by
dlvlno Inllunicc < hat they will accomplish the
grec/.csl results. When , brought to the
service of God they produce signal and start
ling successes. 'God ( lath chosen the weak
things of the world to confound the mighty. '
It you will go down the lines of history you
will find that God has followed out this prin
ciple. He has chosen men of poverty , women
of low ctitato , persons without education or of
personal attractiveness to perform the
world's greatest deeds. The leaders of the
world for Ihe moat part have been taken from
the rnnkfl of Mic common people , from the
very depths of poverty and obscurity. This
fact should not strike us as very remarkable ,
for wo arc constantly doing the same things
among ounelvco. The mysteries of chemical ,
electrical and mechanical science arc fully
as remarkable. What we do every day with
coal , with Iron and with water he will do
with us If wu'cnly allow him. Ho will take
the commonest part of our lives and sanctify
It In our iiands. llcforo wo can bo of power
wo must receive His blessing , we must ac
cept thu dlvlno command , we must first of all ,
meet with God In the wilderness anil solitude
anJ commune alone with Him. "
There was another large congregation prcn-
ent at the evening service , when Dr. Kluhle
preached a sermon especially directed to the
attention of young men. It was based on the
New Testament narrative of the young man
who came to Jesus and asked "What shall I
do to be saved ? " At the evening service
George F , Ulihvell was ordained ns one of
Hio ciders of the church.

MIIIIII ( SptMiUi-rx. .
A fair audience listened to Thomas Kll
patrlck In Unity church last night whllo
he pointed out to them the nccullarltlus and
the style which marked the gospels of Mark ,
Matthew and Luko. tr. ) Newton Mann also
read a paper upon the source from which the
chroniclers ( secured their material. The
papus wrro a part of a series of New Testa
ment studies which are being given every
other Sunday night at the church.
Mr. Kilpatrlck took up this gospel of Mark
as the oldest and described It as a report
of the Incidents In the life of Jesus , which
were arranged without any particular selec
tion. Hardly any mention Is made of the
sayings and teachings ofj'io ' Saviour. The
bonk Is written In rough and somewhat vul
gar Greek. In contrast to this the bask of
Matthew Is concerned with the trainings of
Christ , and not with his every day life. It
was t > iparently written for the Jews , the
object bcliiK to show that In Christ the law
was belni ; fulfilled. The gospel Is written In
plain , direct stylo. The book of Luke Is
written by an Intellectual man , and 1.3 wrk-
ten apparently because the author was not
satisfied with the other biographies of Christ.
Tim gospel magnified the principle of for
giveness without works. In It woman la
given a much more prominent place than In
the others.
Mr. Kllpatrlck commented on the fact that
miracles are mentioned In all of them , and
In connection therewith he stated that he
was of the < iiulon ! that Christ was a believer
in miracles. It was an age of nuperstltlon.
and there was no reason to beltevo that the
Saviour was better than his times. More
over. Mr. Kllpatrlck did not think that any
of the gospels were written under divine
Inspiration , and ho looked upon H only as an
advancement of the world that they are be
coming looked upon as' mere 'literature. This
did not necessarily mean that the teaching
of Jesus would bo forgotten , for Ir , Kill -
l trick was pcultlve that the gospels would
continue tn bo read during the time to como
Ilov. Mr. Mann traced the ma
terial from which the gospels were
written to documents written pre
viously. Thceo ho divided Into two
classes , those setting out the Incidents In
the llfo of the Saviour and others , which told
his saying * . Mark nrobably secured his ma
terial from the first and Matthew and Luke
from the latter , some nf which might tovo
been written by Jesus himself. The latter
documents Hev. Mr. Mann thought
were probably the more correct ,
slnco the sayings of the Saviour
would bo considered more sicrcd
than any account of his doings , and there
fore , less liable to bo corrupted. Consequently
quently ho believed the gospels of Matthew
and Luke preferable to those of Mark. Ho
pointed out as somewhat remarkable tint In
tlio two latter gospels there was much less
said about mlniclcs tiianTn Mark's book , and
concluded therefore that the miracles men
tioned In the latter might liavo become mag
nified from incidents In Jesus' life. Uev.
Ma mi also referred to the recent finding of
a leaf In the Holy Land , which Is supposed
to have been a page from a pamphlet of
Christ's sayings , Issued before the gospeln
were written iind from which some of tht
material was probably obtained.

One of the mno ! points of Interest In the
approaching Transnvlssltslppl Imposition will
undoubtedly bo the big Government building ,
which will occupy the entire west end of
the main court , facing the broad Mirror and
lending grace and artistic finish to the Grand
Court , The purpcac and function of the gov
ernment exhibit Is to ciiow the practical
operation of the several branches of 'tho fed
eral government , the ac of congrcas making
the appropriation of $200,000 providing that
"thero shall be exhibited at said exposition
by the government of the United States such
articles and materials as llluKrntc the func
tion and administrative faculty of the gov
ernment In time of peace , and Us resources
as a war power , tending to demonstrate the
nature of our institutions and their adapta
tions to the wants of the people. "
In accordance with the provisions of this
act the various departments of the govern
ment have appointed representatives to take
charge of the exhibit 'to be made by these
departments , the officers so appointed being
known as the Doard of Control. Thesa otll-
dais constitute this board : Joseph H. Brig-
iiatn , assistant secretary of agriculture , des
ignated by the president as chairman ; W , H.
Michael , State department ; S. E. Kempcr ,
Treasury ; Captain II , C. Ward , War ; Lieu
tenant C. McCormlck , Navy ; J. U. Urown-
low , Postoflke ; F. W. Clarke , Interior ; F. W.
True , Smithsonian Institution and National
museum ; William deC. Uavcncl , Fish ccm-
mlssion ; Frank Strong , Justice. All of these
except Messrs. Drlgham , Michael and Strong
ccrved In the same capacity nt Ihe Nashville
exp filr ion. .
The beard elected W. V. Cox secretary cud
9. L. Lupton disbursing clerk. Mr. Cox
occupied the same position at the Nashville
exposition and has been an accredited rep
resentative of the government at eleven ex
positions.
APPORTION FUNDS AND SPACE.
T&c amount of lloor space in the Govern
ment building , as at present plannad , Is 2S-
OCO square fuet. T.ils has been divided
among the several departments JM follows :
Agriculture , 3.S23 square feet ; Treasury ,
3,3X0 ; State , 915 ; Pcstoince , 2.175.S7 ; Fljh
commission , 5,027.75 ; Navy , 3,203.03 ; National
Museum and Smithsonian Institution ,
3,40fi.37 ; Interior , 4,000.37 ; War , 3,303.03 ; for
working postofllce , 315 feet. The $130OJO
available for exhibit purposes wns divide ]
among the departments us follows : Slate.
$1.500 ; Treasury , ? 17,000 ; War , $11,000 ; Navy ,
$ i,000 : ; Pcstofilcc , ? S,000 ; Interior , $18,009 ;
Agriculture , $15,000 ; Justice. ? 3,030 ; Smith-
co-la- ! Institution , $20,500 ; Fish commission.
$20,000 ; common fund , $20,000.
The exact form the exhibit of each branch
of the government shall take has not been
announced. One of the first extensive dis
plays along this line In this country made
by thb government was at the Centennial
exposition In Philadelphia in 1S7C , and the
character of the dispUy has been greatly
Improved and extended since that time.
ISach exposition adds to the experience and
knowledge of the officers having charge cf
these matters und It Is not unreasonable to
expect that the display at Omaha next year
will excel that made at any former exposi
tion , not even excepting the World's Fair.
The general plan of the government ex
hibit necessarily remains the same , because
the functions of the various departments do
not change materially , but each season cf
experience adds to the ability of the gov-
c.'iimcnt representatives to gauge the public
taste and satisfy It. For instance , the en
tire exhibit In the Government building-
Nashville will bo font direct to Omaha for
oxn'-'jltlun here , but a large quantity of new
material will be added to It from.the depart
ments nt Washington. Under the plan now
in force for the government exhibit , which
may bo changed slightly before next June ,
the exhibit is divided Into twelve sections , as
follows : The executive mansion , the De
partment of State , Treasury department.
.War department. Navy department , Postof-
flce department , Department of Justice , De
partment of Agriculture , Smithsonian Insti
tution , National museum , Fish commission.
DETAILS OF THB PLAN.
The exhibit of the executive mansion

The Department of State exhibits numer
ous volumes of state papers , Including man
uscript letters of all the presidents , repro
ductions of the Declaration of Independence
and constitution and letters from foreign
officials and celebrities , Including many
members of royalty. The operations of the

shown.
The several bureaus of the Treasury de
partment arc shown In a characteristic man
ner. The process of making rconey Is shown
by a coin pres/9 In active operation- and by a
plate printing press turning out paper
money. The light house bureau showo sam
ples cf equipment. Including a huge second-
order lens weighing , with Its accompanying
machinery , over eight tons. This will oc
cupy the center of the Government build
ing beneath the center of the dome. The
marine hospital service is shown by hospital
equipment atrl Illustrations cf the opera
tions of this branch of the service.
The War de-partmcnt exhibit Ic' ' somewhat
extensive. It represents' four branches of the
service , viz : The quartermaster's , engineer's ,
ordnance and slcnal corps departments. By
means of lay figures the quartermaster's
department shows the uniforms of ofTlcen. '
and men from 177G to the present time. The
cngfciosr's department exhibits models of
noted engineering works , such as the Cocks
la the canal at Sault de SU > . Marie , and
modolft of coast defense works. The ord
nance department shows sampler of artil
lery and light arms of every character. The
signal c'orjrs exhibit consists of the appa
ratus ii'ed for ijiy and night signaling.
The exhibit of- the Navy department Is In
tended to oullghten the dweller In points
remote- from the scacoast regarding the
status of the navy. For thl/i purpose full
size models of a turret , a inlitary mast , the

etc.The
The Interior department IB repreicnted by
Its various bureaus- , Including the bureau of
education , Indian bureau , pitent office , geological
logical survey , etc. These present character
istic exhibits andIt If anticipated by the
exposition management that the exhibit of
the Indian bureau may bo made more ex
tensive at Omaha than has ever before been
attempted.
The exhibit of the Department of Justice
Is somewhat limited by reason of the nature
of the functlens of that branch jot the fed
eral government , and Is confined to a collec
tion of portraits of attorneys general and
judges of the supreme and dlstrlc.1 courts.

teenth street at 1 o'clock yesterday after

bers of the members of the Grand Army of

been u member.
The floral pieces were cxceptlcnally well
chosen and appropriate. The city officials
seat a huge pillow of yellow roses and
whlto chrysanthemums on a base of ferr.r. ' .
The hall association of the Odd Fellown
contributed a pillow In the center of which
the Insignia of thb order was worked out
In purple , the 'typical ' color of the order.

Women Who Have
I'ill luii Ion' .
The services at the Deth-nden Daptlst
church Sunday morning were held under
the auspices of the Salvation Army. The
army was represented by Drlgadler General
Km in a Down of New York City , 'Major Gen
eral Mrs. Alary Stllhvell of Kansas City and
Captain Emma 'McCormlck , In charge of the
local branch of the Rescue Home.
It has been the custom of this church for
imny years to aid the work of the army by
devoting a number of .Its services to Illus
trating the various fields covered by It.
Working to this end- , many of the most
prominent ofllcers of the army have spoken
In the church , Drlgadlor General Down has
bsen prominently connected with the rcscuo
work of the organization In New York City
for a period covering' many years. She Is
at present working on a tour of Inspection of
the homes established In the larger cities
and Is aiding thu work to the utmost by
explaining to the public the object of this
division of the army the reclaiming of
fallen women.
Following the usual musical program and
prajcrs given by her associates General
Ilown talked for nearly an hour upon the
rescue work of the Salvation Army. She
said the rcscuo branch of the organization
hsul often been confounded by the public
with the general field covered by the army.
This was a mistake. It pertained solely to
the redemption of unfortunate women who
had gone down , often times from force of
circumstances and more often on account
cf evil associates. To this end homes had
been established. The speaker said the task
cf reclaiming the fallen from haunts of vice
In largo cities was fast gaining gigantic
proportions. As civilization advanced the
spread of the social evil waa more pro
nounced and unlfBS the tide bearing so many
to destruction was not EO-II controlled the
work would have to bo performed by a
larger force than represented by the Salva
tion Army. This organization , however ,
had been the pioneer In the field so far ns
systematized effort was concerned and the
results obtained were most gratifying.
HOW THEY FALL , .
The speaker described the manner In which
iiKfjtomcn are led to n life of sin. Liquor ,
she fijys , Is the most powerful agent , anil
next to this she thinks domestic Infelicity
! iis the strongest Influence. In nearly all
cases , General Down says , the victims she
lias encountered are more sinned against than
sinning. The greatest obstacle which women
of thl/3 character encounter when they dc-
cido to reform Is the fact that all doors are
barred Is them. This condition of affairs
lias loJ many who WCTO not n-aturally viciously
Inclined to continue on the downward r.ath.
The establishing of Ilrscuo homes chanst-B
this. No matter how l < nv in the social scale
the mippllcant has fallen , she Is taken Into
the home and with cheering words , which
tend to pure thought , Is lilted by her as
sociates to a higher piano. After the mind
has been purified , honest labor Is found for
the penitent , and the lessan taught is found
In nearly all cases to be a lasting one.
The general says that scores of converts
from the lowest deaths of vice have after
ward shown their appreciation of the efforts
made In their behalf by applying all their
extra time to the rcscuo of other unfor
tunates. The very worst characters have
proven to bo the most faith Till workers In
the commendable task of helping their ( Ullen
comrades.
In njeaking- the local branch of the
home , located at 2015 1'lnkney street , tliu
general cays that much has been accom
plished. Although It had been opened less
than a year , twenty-seven women have been
cared for , and there have been but three fall-
urcn among this number. The home has
had a hard struggle for existence , but Is
gradually making Its goad Influence felt , and
Is now approaching a. condition of perma
nency.
The speaker concluded with an appeal fcr
cast-off clothing and all other little aids
which might bo at the disposal of the public
to contribute.
