HCV. Campbell Fair , D. D. , dean of Trinity
cathedral , yesterday exchanged pulpits with
Her. J. B. Cathell. D. D. , of DCS Moincs , la.
The latter clergyman was greeted by a largo-
Blzcd congregation at Trinity cathedral yes
terday morning , Ills ncrmon was a most
thoughtful discourse , and was listened to
with rapt attention.
The sermon was bascu on two texts : .John
rvll , 3 , and John vl , 68 , and the latter was
tfio principal one : "Lord , to whom shall wo
Bd. Thou has words of eternal life. " In tbo
discourse the clergyman said : "Our Lrd
often gavu no explanation for many of-his
naylngs , for tbo roison that the people were
not ready to receive the explanations. On
one occasion the Lord uttered a bant paying ,
And bectmsc they did nt understand It , many
turned away offended. Hut In other cases
tvo read tint though the people were In con
tusion and doubt they believed. Certainty
Is a vital element It ) religion. Creed and doc-
trlno are good so far as they go , but above
all wo must be sure. The great trouble with
us today Is that In the matter of rollgbn *
wo gtvo ourselves Inadequate answers , and
want to make our religion a religion of doubt.
Wo doubt Gsd's exlsleno. Wo know that the
Infinity and the personality of God are abso
lutely Incompatible. They ucem to contradict
rach other , nnd we wander la the realm of
Ooubt. College men cwoclally nre prone to
como upon these perplexities and to glvo up
their faith. Again , wo eco the danger of a
little knowledge.
"Thcro Is the mystery of life within a blade
of grass ; there are mysteries In chemistry
and In all sciences. Religion Is , therefore ,
not different from the rest of life In this re
spect , nullt on the unseen and the unknown
all truth might be Inferred as suspected.
Probability Is one of the elemental Influences
on human life. Ita \ so In the rising of the
sun. It will yrobably rise tomorrow , but the
fact cannot he proved. All wo know Is that
it has risen oveiy morning for many thousand
years , acid will probably continue to do so for
many thousand years to come. Ought not
a man bo an willing to admit the force of
probability In religion as In secular affairs ?
Is It not fair to recognize the clement of
probability on Sunday as on Monday ? Ho
that Is wlso wll ) take these probabilities Into
Account oven In religion.
"It Is necessary for ono whp Is about to
undertake an argument to possess these four
essentials : Knowledge , ability , thno and
character. Conclusions that are reached
through argument based on false premises
are llku houses built on shifting sands. We
inuat bo mire to get all the accurate knowl
edge wo can. No ono lives who has all the
facts.
"Then there must bo ability to reason
after the facts are obtained. Wo must know
.vhnt the facts mean. The getting of the
facts Is a small thing If wo don't know how-
to use thorn after they are obtained.
"Tho extraordinary and dlltlcult problems
of religion demand continuous thinking. If
wo arrive at an Independent decision in
religion we must think long and hard. The
religious problems of today are not-commonly
understood , and these who think that these
problerr.o can bo thought out whllo one Is
sawing Wood or counting money are wrong.
It Is hard to get Americans to taUc time
to study religious or any other eerlous prob-
leme. They feel the need of more days In
the week and more weeks' In the month.
Leisure Is an unknown term to most Ameri
cans.
"But nbovo all Is character. See how
it Is In art. The artistic eenso Is necessary
to the true appreciation of a picture. The
, „ _ eajue.ls.tri .l-s : music. Wo may understand
the mechanism of an organ , but wo must
have sympathy with music In order to fully
appreciate ) a selection. It Is hard to get
oven reaaonablo people to think that this
same principle , true in art and music. Is
equally true In religion. Hut It la just as
true. Ho who would nrguo concerning re
ligion tuui. be religious. It Is to bo deplored
that so many of our people think that
Huxley Is as good a prophet cs the apostle
John , and that they can understanding 1
argue on religion without being religious.
"But there Is nothing In tula to dlscouraijs
reasoning on religious matters. If we lack
any of the four requirements wo have Just
considered let us bo frank and confess it.
Wo believe , not because wo have found throe
things for ourselves , but because wo take It
on ofllclal authority. It may not bo possible
for us to know all things religious from our
own reasoning , but wo can accept them from
Him who Is the best authority. No sentence
of His teachings has ever become obsolete ,
or over will. Our best course Is to accept
the teachings of Jesus Christ. This Is true
when wu consider Jesus only In the lowest
sense , but far more so when we regard Him
in the greatest. Therefore let us take His
answer on matters In which wo are In
doubt. "

The pulpit ut I4ie First Presbyterian church
wits occupied yesterday by Ilev. Clark Hoyt.
The subject of the morning discourse was
' "Kio Kingdom of Heaven , " and It was con
sidered en exactly the eumo lines which have
been prcpoundcd by preacher atvl apostle
since. Christ originated the subject , nearly
1,000 years ago. The speaker started frem
the general proposition that tbo kingdom of
heaven was not something that was far away
or that bad exle'.cd hundreds of years ago ,
It was always and everywhere present , and
It was closely connected with the human
heart. There was n dcslro in every human
Eoul for someth'ing better , atvl the kingdom
ct God was simply the coming together of
this dlvlno forcu in perfect .harmony.
The practical question to be considered waa
whera uo should beck 'this kingdom. The
eavago believed that ho could bo brought
nearer to It by self'torture , anil tie Idolater
hoped to propitiate ( his unknown power
( through his bit cf iron or wool or stone.
Eoino of the more civilized people read ' .heir
creed line by line anl tied their hearts and
eouls to what human bunds had penned , be
lieving that this was the road to everlasting
bliss. Others believed t/iat when n few drop *
of water were sprinkled on their heads the
Rubicon was passed * and , 'the ' soul was saved.
The speaker cnnlcnded that ono of these
Jdcas was as erroneous as another. Where
did ChrUt KO when Ho left Ills disciples to
pray ? Did Ho go to ilho temple ? Did Ho go
to the priests and ask them to make sacri
fices for Him , or to the scribes and ask them
Ho tcako Him n better man ? No ; Ho wont
down to the sea and found eorao poor fisher
men dragging their nets. Ho set up the
kingdom of heaven in their lie-arts , and their
name * have como down to us through the
ages.
The Ufa of ChrUt was followed to show
thai ho liad admitted the lov/lleat and most
sinful id the , kingdom of heaven. Even Ills
List act was to save the thief on the cress
by His side. All this showed that the king
dom of icaven U not to bo found in temples ,
but In the human heart ,

IlinUHST GOOD T IN 11KLIGIOX
"Kcnr God. , nnd Kccit Hl Commnml-
nrnt " tlir * Solution.
Her. C. E. Strlcltlaml ot Slous City filled
the vacant pulpit of the Deth-Kden Baptist
church yesterday morning and undertook to
solve the problem that has perplexed ( ho
human race slnco the world began. "What
la the Highest Qood and In What Docs It
Consist ? " was the topic ho took for his
discourse.
In commencing , the preacher mentioned
the principal BO ] ut Ions advanced by phlloBo-
phera of the aces gene by. One claimed
that knowledge , the evolution of education ,
was the secret. Another Insisted that the
massing of all the ivorlil'fl goods and the
training of the finer qualities ot the human
naturq win the needed solution. And still
another raid that by subduing the passions
the greatest good could ba attained. Hut1
the minister Insisted that not ono of these ,
nor all of them would really satisfy any iron
when the shadows begin to fall and the sun
of llfo was setting and dorkncna was com
ing on. Innumerable Instances ot that could
bo called to mind by any one.
As the most striking example of the In
sufficiency of these solutions Rev. Strickland
presented the picture of King Solomon. This
monarch had explored all the knowledge of
his time nnd was the wisest man that had
lived up to hla lifetime. He had uncountable
wealth. Ho hart sounded the depths of ovcvy
known pleasure. Yet during all his lifetime
he had failed to dlrcovcr the sum of human
happiness until tbo secret came to him. cs
bo was ibout to pass away. On the threshold
of death { ho solution flashed upon him -an.1
ho cried : "Alas , the conclusion of the "Wholo
matter IB : Fear God -and keep His com
mandments. "
These words , the preacher continued , ccn-
taln tha solution to the riddle. Religion ,
pure and unadulterated , consisting of the
trinity ot reverence , fJllh and obedience , Is
required to complete the life of cvo-y hu
man being. Without It he Is a failure and a
ruin , sometimes a splendid failure and a
rcagnlflcont ruin , hut a ruin and a failure
for all tint.

At the St. JInry's Avenue Coagreptatoiul !
church the regular services last night wore I
displaced by a lecture upon the "Men of j
the Maj flower , or the Pilgrim Fathers of ,
Engl > nil , Holland and America , " delivered by
Rev. C. H. Talntor ot Chicago , secretary of
the Church Building Society of the Congre- j
r tlona ! Church. The lecture was Illustrated
by stcreoptlcon. The views were plain and 1 '
bcaullf'il ones , many o ! them nclng colored.
A larco nudlsnce was In attandinoe.
The lecture , opened wirh ii rocleol of the
causes that gave rise to the pilgrims nnd
related their history acrosa the water untlj
they lied to this country to csc.ipo persecu
tion. It told of the trip of Mayflower , the
landing on Plymouth roi'c , thn lifo and the
hardships ami the pleasures of the colonists |
In this country. The plstnros dc.il flats Oils
coloniiil life were of decided Interest. In the
course of his lecture Hev. Talntor Rort thut
the pilgrims had much to do with breaking 1
down the prejudices ot the Puritans and Oius
Instituting religious liberty in this country.
Ho stated that their fading principle was
the casting aside of the jokn nf kings and
the following of the camnvin-lmoitB < > f tbo
Lord. This \vork was still holng continued
by their Congregatlonullst descendants , who
are now over 2,000,600 strong. In conuertlcn
with this part ot the lecture Ttev. Tiliitor

The Transmlstlsslppt exposition envoys to
the southland arrived homo nt 7:1S : last night
in a driving snowstorm , tardy and hungry ,
but with Uio assurance of good work done
and the remembrance of a thoroughly good
time. Their friends expected to receive them
on 'the ' Ksi'-aas CUy , St. Joseph & Council
Bluffs train. Which Is duo dt BMO p. in. , but
a number of Incidents occurred to delay the
party , utid It came In an hour and a half
late. An accident happened to tlie locomotive
a short distance below Hamburg , la. , and
the train was obliged to proceed to Pacific
Junction under half speed , arriving there
moro than an hour late. The snow added to
the delay from there to Omahu , the two
heavy sleepers , Hcldcn and Okanogan , oc
cupied by the party , increasing th * burden
of itho light local engine. The train showed
the effects of an all-day snowstorm , which
begui Just out of Kansas City , about 11
o'clock yesterday morning. The long banners
| stretched at the oir sides and' descriptive of
the allegiance held by those within were
shapeless and weather stained , and the flags
floating above Hho vestibules hung limply to
their masts.
The tourists were warmly greeted on their
arrival by their families and business friends ,
who had waited for their coming In 4ho depot
sited. Among the Informal reception com-
mlttco lu attendance were noticed B. H.
Koblson , Alvln Samplers , Jr. , George H.
Payne , J. H. Mclntoah and. a number ct
cohere. The Omaha party , still with its full
number of forty-elg.it , did not pause hog In
the ceremony of Its reception , but boarded
cars which were In waiting and at once
separated to tiielr homes.
The trip Is spoken of by ill the travcUro
In the most ! glowing terms. No accident or
sickness occurred to mar their pleasure and
they met -with the most generous hospltallt >
on every occasion. In the week spent on the
road the party traveled hard nnd constantly.
The total mlleags of the Itinerary Is 2,418 ,
besides a thlrty-llvo mllu rldo on the steamer
In the bay at Galvcston and Port Arthur.
In Texas the main effort of the delegation
was directed , nnd with unfailingly good re
sults. Not only will their work be evidenced
by city , county nnd atato representations at
the exposition , but a general feeling of good
will has been established which will beat
fruit commercially and socially between the
middle north and south. The delegates wore
especially pleased with their treatment at
Kansas City where no- feeling of interurban
jealousy was apparent In the general dcslro
to further the Interests of the grcatei' ' wist.
As noted In tho- telegraphic accounts the
Omaha men were entertained In princely
fashion and given encouragement to bclievo
that Kansas City took an Interest In the
exposition second to none and would make
tie big show their own personal exhibition.
At Kansa-s City the party practically broke
ip , the seventeen members whoso homes arc
n other parts of the state gobig home by
another route. The Omaha men state that
ho close relationship In which they were
brought with the delegates from out In the
tate , accomplished one of th ° valuable ends
of the expedition. At all tbo stopping1 places
he latter were given their shara of the work
is spokesmen and some of the ) meat entlms-
astic speeches for the exposition and Omaha
were made by them. The Omaha"repres'en7
atlves felt that In this way the Interests of
ho state are being unified and the people
a1 all Nebraska are coming to ffel that tbo
exposition is not an Omaha show , but Is lu
all respects what its name Implies.
Last night the- delegates were full of the
; oed times which auch a large and merry
larty unavoidably must halve had. ' Most of
hem had ouej or more souvenirs , tokens of
iloasant happenings In the Oleander city ,
Jnlveston bay and all of the way between.
3x-GovErnor Alvin Saundors. who was ap-
> arently one of the youngest of the party ,
established the reputation of tho.prlzo oyster
eater at the native oyster bake given In the
jay off Galveston. He has a ) half-shell pol-
shod and inscribed with the tally of his ac
complishment. 'Many ' others were burdened

suggestion. It Is a mooted question whether
thcro are bands enough within a radius of
100 miles which would take enough Interest
In n contest to oven make It Interesting.
"Dear Mr. Manager of Ice Carnival : I
am one of the young women striving for the
honor of being a mnld to Queen Polaris , and
as my chances of success are fairly good , my
thoughts ( womanlike ) turn to that same old
question : What shall I wear ? Do kindly
relieve my mind and the minds of a number
ot others and kindly oblige , yours ,
"MISS SEALSKIN. "
The qucotlon Is a natural ono , coming as
It does from an Interested party , and the
managers are only too pleased to suggest
that the maids of honor wear wlilto tobog
gan suits , with light blue toques and cashes.
This costume Is considered ono of the pret
tiest of all , and Is generally used in the
northern country during the Ice carnival
oeason. As the atmosphere of an Ice pilacc
Is hardly as balmy .and pleasant as that of
Florida , warmth Ie the first consideration ,
looks next ; so there you are !
Roy AVaples , president , and Henry V.

The skating and tobogganing on the lagoon
Is better than ever , the fall of snow making
the toboggan just what it should be an in-
