THE OMAHA DAILY J3EE : SATTKRDAY , DECEMBER 'Jo , I8 7.
Christmas and the Churches ,
3S&3&
In welcoming In the Christmas of 1807 , the |
cliurch mcmbcra anil churcn goers ot Omaha
fool tlmt they have many reasons for be
ing glad. They realize that the year that
Is ju t drawing to a close haa becu an un
usually prosperous one heroaways , at least
ronr as thu churches have been concerned.
Churches thnt were without pistors last
year ere now supplied with preachers and
the word o ( God la dispensed every Sunday.
Last rear a. miw'jsr of the Omaha churches
were badly In debt , hit : during the past year
many of these claims hive been liquidated
nnd with a very tew exceptions the house.r
ot worship arc In good condition , both spirit
ually And financially. In addition to the Im
proved condition of the local churches , the
ebngregatlons have Increased thcln member
ship and many a. new convert has been
brought to the feet of the meek and lowly
JOHUS.
To ccMtrnta the Improve , ! condlltoif of re
ligious matters , members nnd communicants
of the churches of this city observe
the Christmas festivities this year the same
as In the past , though In many In-r.anMi
the observances will be more elaborate :
Chrlstm-in trees are erected In many
of the Omaha churs'te.i , while In others
the Rifts for the Sunday school children
are distributed from ihorns of plenty ,
baskets and enormous sacks. Expensive
presents are not passed out to the lit
tle onc-s this plan having become a thine
of the past , teachers and Sunday school people -
plo considering It better tiwtc to serve nil
of the children alike and itvo ; them noth
ing hut big roil clicdUo'l ' applet , mammoth
oranges , candles and other sweetmeats.
The time wus. and not very long ago either ,
when I ho ChrUtm-is tree WEB a gift-giving
enterprise. Watches , Jewelry , orders for seal
skin fiaojucs and plrnoB were hung upon Us
branches and the members of the churclics
vied with one another to nee who could make
the most expensive Christmas presents In
this way they sot a lot of cheap advcrtlslnn ,
but latrr oa the plan ws frowned upon by
the ccrgy and for a few years It eecmod
that the Christmas tree was doomed to be
come a thing of the past. At th's ' point
the ministers took the nutter up nd Issued
aa edict to the effect that the Christmas tree
was ac Institution for the children anil that
the cliurch would take care of the gift
giving. With one bound the Christmas tree
regained all otln \ old time favor and now It
Is a th'oi ; that haa come to stay sad gladden I
the hearts of the little ones. J
In very few of the churches the old
fashioned Santa Claus climbs down the
chimney or enter through a window. Many
of the best church men have tabooed the
Santa Claus of years ago , Insisting that a
Santa Claus carries a lie upon his faro and
that 3 church Is no place to aid and abet
lying , even If It Is done to please the chil
dren. Havtag relegated the Santa Claus of
other days to the rear , now-a-days some
superintendent of the SuiuMy school or some
deacon of the church mounts a ladder and
takes down the little presents , while n dozen
iboys distribute them among the children ,
rich and poor , who crowd the front rown
one night In the year.
The Christmas tree Is not the only feature
of the church of today. In addition to It , a
literary program ot some considerable merit '
Is enacted In about every church In I
the city. There are songs and carols ;
recitations and readings and stories Incident
to the blrlh ot Christ 'n ' far away Judea.
Tl'tro Is the tale of the manner In
which the wise men of the eaa * nearly 2,000
years ago followed the otar until It rested'
over Bethlehem.
In most Instances the Chrlstrr-is observ
ances were held last night , though there are
some exceptions , certain churches prcfcr-
Tlng to carry out thtlr programs tonight.

MCtlitUT 11 Church Debt.
A mass meeting of the members ot the
First Methodist church was held last 'Mondaj
night to raise funds for the payment In part
of a $50.000 mortgage upon the church build
ing. On January 20 next $10,000 of this
amount becomes due. The meeting was pre
sided ovnr by Rev. John McQuold , with
Charles A. Goss , John Mellen and Prank
Brown as secretaries. Rev. McQuold openet
the session with a short outline ot the pur
pose of the meeting and laid stress upon
the fact that the time was growing shor
when the amount named would mature , tha
$ G-100 of the sum had been raised and that
I there was still J3.GOO needed. Considerable
enthusiasm was raised by the pastor's words
and many subscriptions from those presen
followed. At the conclusion of the meeting
the figures In the possession of the secro
tarlcs showed that nearly fl.OOO had been
given.
J. II. McConncll , one of the trustees ot the
church , expressed himself as very sanguine
that the balance would bo raised by the time
It became due. He stated that many ot the
business men of the church had made llbera
donations and that the small amounts paid li
had been numerous. The 'balance ' on the
mortgage does not become due until five
years later. A number of meetings Xor the
purpose of further raising money will beheld
held at the church In the near future.

Wonder If people Jostled nnd elbowed each
' .her In their hunt for Christmas presents
nJ took It all so good-naturedly In those
oed old days In the misty past as the folks
t this city of Omajia did last night I Wonder
f Santa Ciatis of a couple of hundred or a
dousand years ago had so much fun as
housamU of men and women appeared to
wiVo last night , as they trudged around
hrough the slushy sno\v from store to store
n their hunt for pretty things for their bus-
> ands and -wives , their children , their
jrothcrs nnd sisters , their lovers and swect-
icarts and for everybody else for whom they
ad the least spark of affection or regard !
iSanta Claus and Kris Krlngle was out lu
thousand forms. Sometimes ho was
rcssed In broadcloth and sometime In home-
pun. Sometimes ho had on his back silk
nd other costly feminine goods. Sometimes
lo wore a shabby skirt and a well-worn
, , ' : , Illlt II0 wns the selfsame Santa Claus
mi } Kris Krltiglo In one respect and that you
had to Hnd In his face and eyes. 'Ills mouth
vas wreathed In a smile : his eyes were nl-
vays merry and glad. If you accidentally
mnched hint In the ribs ho did not frown ; ho
beamed upon you and said , "Merry Christ
mas ! if ho was a man ho sometimes nl ;
said , Let s go get a drink. " A pretty .good
Santa Claus and Kris Krlnslo we've cot hero
u this town.
As has been hinted at before , thousands
vere out. last night , as thousands had .been
out for several nights before. They simply
ook the stores by siege. There was not ono
n the downtown section which was not
crowded. If the calamity howler was out
ast .night ho must have felt very small
mmpklns , and maybe today he won't have so
much fun to poke at the "return of pros
perity , ' .Merchants were of the unanimous
opinion that not for years past have they
d-one such a 'Christmas ' business as this year
and last night furnished a very fitting
climax. Santa Claus had money this year
and he spent It.
It may ibo that Weather 'Clerk Welsh had
something to do with It. Omaha , people
lave falten out of the habit of having such a
time as they hai last night. It was rather
queer and on the 'whole quite enjoyable to
wade around in snow on the night before
Christmas. Green Chrlstmases have been so
numerous around these parts that people
tmvc fallen Into the custom ot telling what
Chrlstmases were like In their youth , with
the snow over the fencctops. Thus , as he or
she plodded along or slipped oil the ice , he
or she did not say or even think some bad
word , but cried out. "Merry Christmas ! "
EVERYBODY GOBS SHOPPING.
The streets were filled with men , women
and children all the evening , long up to the
hour that the gaily-lighted stores turned
down their lights and the tlrcd-out clerks
leftfor , their homes to enjoy a Christmas of
their own today. A "Merry Christmas" waste
to bo heard every minute and everybody took
It to himself even If It was not meant for
him. There were smiles on every hand ; that
glorious anthem , "Peace on Earth , G-ood Will
to Men , " was ringing In every heart.
The Interior of the bigger stores of the
city were a revelation. The aisles were
simply packed with a squeezing mass of hu
manity , every individual of which was pos
sessed with -the desire to get to the counter.
Toes were cramped , ribs were crushed ,
clothes were rumpled , but there was not the
slightest indication of ill-humor on anybody's
part. > . There was too much of the spirit of
Santa Claus about to permit anything of
that.
It was a great night for the street car
company , too. The cars were crowded both
coming and going during all the hours of the
early evening. In fact , very few people
walked. They did not want to coming down
because they desired to get to the stores
"before the rush. " They could not walk
back home In most cases because they were
loaded down too much. An observer looking
at the homeward cavalcade would have
sworn that before the night was over every
store In the city bad been stripped of Its
contents.
All this was on the surface and everybody
could see It. As happy a talp could be told
could ono have peeped Into the residences
and the homes about the city. Amongst the
high and the low , with the virtuous and the
sinful , thcro was none other than the Christ
mas spirit. In some places carols , In others
rollicking songs , but everywhere good cheer
and merriment. There was 'but one burthen
to the sentiment : "A Merry Christmas to
All ! "
TWO HOLIDAYS SIDE HY SIDK.
Jewish CIiiiiiiicliu mid ClirlntiniiNtlile

Christmastime , in Its relation to the Jewish
Chanucha and the attltudo of the- modern
Hcibrew toward It , were considered by Dr.
Leo M. Franklin last night In a discourse
at Temple Israel. Dr. Franklin was liberal
In his views of the Christian festival and
expressed the belief that the Jew did no
wrong In partaking of the rejoicing of the
occasion. The ceremony of the Chanucba ,
which Is now being obiverved , began ca De
cember 20 and Is continued for eight days.
The whole period Is termed the Foist ot
Light and Dedication and Is In obaorvanco
ot the regaining of the temple at Jerusalem
whoa the altar , previously desecrated , woa
purified and the holy lamp was found still
burning and fresh with oil. During the serv
ice the usual excellent music was rendered
and solos were given by Mrs. L. T. Sunder-
land and.W. D. Wilklns , Dr. Franklia spoke
la part as follows :
"It Is a sign of the better side of human
nature that It oinnot abut out tbc contagion ,
of happiness. Even though the Jewish
Feist of Light Ifl not exactly coincident with
the great Christian season of rejoicing It Is
just as Impossible for the Jew to shut his
heart against the universal joyfulness aa for
a dew drop to shut out tbo scintillations ot
the sunlight which transform it Into a tem-
rile of light. Under the wrappings of these
two religious 'festivals ' may bo found a com
mon origin and a common significance. They
are both expretalvo In a general way of re
joicing at the approach of the winter solstice ,
There are pagan festivals ale3 which origin
ated In the E'imo thought. The Romans cele
brated their Saturnalia for seven days from
December 19 and passed the time In Inter
changing glfta apd merrymak'ag. The simi
larity of these seasons seems more than a
coincidence.
"Nor should the pagan origin of those
holidays take away In any degree the sacredness -
ness read Into them by the Christian eeio
Jewish rellg-Ions. The real truth and value
of them HP& not so much In the historical
surroundings o In the underlying principles

behind them. And although Christians may
care but little for the valor ot a Jewish
Maccabce In reclaiming the temple or the
Jew may regard no greater the dlvlno cle
ment of the Christmas story , there should
bo mo prejudice between them , but the heart
of humanity should beat as oac. I do not
mean that Christmas end Cbanuchn should
be celebr.at l alike by Jew and CSentllo but
that the ethical significance of each thould
bo common.
"fa my opinion toth Christmas and Cha
nucha arc fast outgrowing their historical
and religious significance. Christmas Is be
ing transformed trotn a religious holy da >
Into an American holiday. It Is the sami
with our owa Feast of Light. However much
wo may admire the courage of the Jlacca-
fooan It lo foolish to think , In the face of
the opposition to the present ephemeral
Zlonlstle agitation , that the Jews want to
celebrate the freedom of a land which they
would not return' ' to If they could. It docs , ,
not matter If the regard for the more his
torical and religious setting passes away In
the evolution of the human rice. If the
fundamental Idols ot ChrVjttnas and Cla-
nucha have but worked themscUco Into hu
man hearts they may change their form
without loss to humanity. The Christmas
sentiment of earthly peace Is not exclusively
of that religion but has come to us through
the ages , and the fact thnt the Jew does
not accept the Christian story docj ot ini
capacitate him to feel the Christian thought ,
'Cn earth , peace , to men. good will. ' And
although Christmas , historically and religi
ously , may bo forgotten this thought will go
on forever growing and enlarging. The mil.
Ionium Js not yet here and Ignorance and
bigotry aie still general upon the earth but
wo are advancing and many clouded eyes
are being given sight. So I believe that the
day Is perhaps not co ifar distant when the
Chanucha a'eo will no longer be the celebra
tion of the redemption of an ancient edifice
but .1 recognition of light * s the prlace ot
peace. The Jew will not renounce his Cha-
uucha nor the Christian his Christmas , but
one day they will Unit themselves around .
common altar to receive the benediction of
light ancJ peace. "
The Feast of Light and Dedication
will bo closed on Monday night by a
progum In charge of the children. It will
occur at the Metropolitan hall , and the oper

The Christmas festivities commenced out
at the county hospital last night and will
continue a greater portion ot today. There
are nearly 200 Inmates at the Institution ,
and last night they were given an entertain
ment that reminded them of days .when they
were less unfortunate than now.
Yesterday afternoon a large evergreen tree
was erected In the ( broad corridor of the
north wing of the county hospital and upon
Itwas hung candy In bags , popcorn and
fruit. During the evening the lights were
turned out and all of the inmates of the
place Invited Into the room. After reach-
lug there cigars were distributed to the men
and neat white aprons 'were given to the
women , after 'which ' the tree was dismantled
and the fruit that It bore wns given to the
wards of the county. Later on Captain Davis
of the Department ot the Platte entertained
thoInmates , of the hospital with a nuniber of
selections upon the gramaphone. Upon the
conclusion of the exercises Dr. Strong , the
buusu physician , on tiehalf of the employes
of the institution , presented Superintendent
and Mrs. Wright with a very beautiful
cathedral chime clock. Superintendent
Wright responded and thanked his associates ,
assuring them that they were held In high
esteem ami that they had the best wishes of
himself and his wife.
Today thero-wlll be a concert at the place
and at 2 o'clock this afternoon a dinner will
be served that will be fit to set before a king.
It will consist of turkey and cranberry
sauce , roast pig and baked apples , mlnce pie
and all of 'the ' other good things that go with
the typical Christmas dinner.

court to fulfill ! the duties ot his position.
This Is the direct result of a suit that was
brought In the federal court yesterday after
noon by nilnor A. Hughes ot Dayton , 0. ,
against W. J. Hughes. According to the bill
the complainant and Hughes entered Into a
partnership In 1S8S to run a oharmacy In
this city under the firm name of W. J.
Hushes & Co. The firm was In business first ,
at C21 North Sixteenth street and later re
moved to the present location. The plaintiff
sots Forth that .she put $3,000 Into the busi
ness under a contract that this money should
be paid back to her at the rate of $100 a
month. Some $2,000 was In this manner re
turned to her. but she alleges that of late
she has been getting no money. This Is duo
to the Illness , she says , of W. J. Hughes ,
who Is of unsound mind at the present tlmo
and Is confined In an. asylum at Wauwatosa ,
Mich.
Slnco Hughes has been unable to attend to
the business , which has been tbo caao slnco
last July , It Is alleged that the store has
been run by a clerk who has not given It
proper attention. As a consequence of this

the firm are rapidly overreaching the assets.
Ilerause ot this she bad a receiver appointed ,
who will run the store until Its affairs are
straightened out. Then an accounting will

A jury lo the federal court has fixed the
value of a hand at $500. At least that Is the
amount they awarded Herman H. Vandecar
for the lee = s of such a member. The verdict
| was returned at a late hour last night. The
' Jury was out slnco late ou Thursday after-
i noon. Vandocar sued the Omaha & Uepub-
l llcan Valley lallrcad for $30,000 damages for
the loss of his hand. He was a victim ot on
accident on that road several years ago.
While preparing to alight from a train ho was
thrown from the steps by a sudden starting
of the engine and was thrown beneath tlio
wheels in such a manner that his band was
cut off. The railroad company defended on
the ground that Vaadecar was carelessly
negligent In not watting for the train to stop
before trying to get off. The trial of th
case has lasted more than a week.
