W , A , MoKonzlo at First Presbyterian Oharch , WORLD WATCHES CHRISTIANS CLOSELY Clinrcti I * Hnrmril liy < lie Failure of 4 a me of H Member * tu .Live tn o Tliolr 1'rofeKntoiiN. . . Ucv. W. IA alcKcnzIo of Can.id > i , who IB nilMg the vacant pulpit ot tie First Presby- tcrlan church temporarily , talked connls.tucy to the congregation yesterday morning. "Uccauac of the Inconsistency of professing Chrlotlans , " ho said , "many people will not accept Iho faith. The worli watches pro-1 fcsilng CtorlstlanH closely. As a matter of fact people roiBto about rcllglco In a way that would ho ridiculous If It was pur- BUed In other things. In the same manner ono mlsht go Into an orchard and find ono rotten apple nnd therefore conclude that nil the apples In the orclnrd were rotten ; or lie might find a counterfeit coin and conclude that all the coins In the world are counter feit. Thjs Is wrong , but nevertheless ths church lias been harmed through all the ages by the Inconsistency ot Christians They should not throw n.ny mumbling block In the way of the world. " "I have a ord. too , for those who nrguo In this way , " he continued. "The cxlsicncc of this countoifclt simply proves the exist ence of the true , for If there was no true there would bo no counterfeit. Suppose that one-half of the professing Christians from coast to coist In this country were Incon sistent. That does not furnish nnv resson why you should not accept Christianity as a goad thing. , < Ucv. MrMcKcnzlo mailo these remarks iwhllo he was trying to ehow the reasons why man w&re nahamed of the gospel of Christ. There arc several beside the alleged Inconsistency of Christians. One la the pride of heart ol tlicso who will not accept the geeyols because they do not believe them , not on the grounds that they are contrary to reason , but on the grounds that they cannot understand them. The prcahcr pointed out trat the majority ot facts are accepted as true In face of the Inability to understand how they came about Again , pride of heart , which will not permit ( ) &Cle ) to like t'lc Idea of a Oed and ot < i future llfo and will not permit them to hum-1 ble thomtclvcii , stands In their way. Still' ' another reason IB advanced tint the standard set by the gospel Is too high , which the I prroclier also Inslated Is groundless. ' Huv. Mr. McKenzle , In coac'.uslon , asserted that the acceptance of Christianity brought JuatlflMitloci for past sins and purification from them. The only condition' required to attain this dct'lrablo condition Is slrnpl' knowledge of the gospels , assent to thcli pr'ticlplce and trust In the promises they con. tain- . Yet this docs not strike everybouj r as practicable nnd It Is frequently asked what Christianity lisa dcno for the world. In acowcr the preacher put the question ot what the world has done without Chris tianity , and he ascribed the advancement of the world chiefly to Christianity. More over It was salted if Chrlstl.'nlty la such a good thing why It was not given to tht world Immediately after the fall. But the preacher contended that It was a part ol the plan of creation to give man a chance to redeem hlicself an * us he failed to do It as ago after age pissed Chrlct was gives to the world. For It waa Insisted that the gospels as 'r revelation of God are not confued to thq Now Tcatameat. The world was created netter tor man , but ae a theater for the gnod- cat manifestation ot the lore ot OoJ. Christ Is the central' ' theme of the Old as much as ot the New Testament. Ho gave his "note" at ihe begtcn'ng of the world thai ho would give his life for mankind. Ana on this theory the preacher maintained that the people who lived thouaands of ycara be fore Christ were as much saved by thcli faith In h's coming as tbcos who have be lieved in Him since Ills coming. IR. IIUTLEll TALKS OF AUVEXT. ( lie Coinlmr of Christ to ( lie World. "Tho Advent" was the topic of Dr. S. Wright Butlcr'a sermon yesterday morning. The verso from Iho goepel according to St. Paul , "When the fullness of time was como God sent forth His Son , " being the theme dlscunsed. ' ' "In sending Ills Eon to this earth , " said Dr. Duller , "the question was naturally asked why did not God do thla before ? For ccn- turlM ono who could Improve the morality f tbe human race had been needed , yet 4,000 yoarj ) had elapsed before Christ " bad come , It wiis A demand of Mature" for a gcfteral purification , whloh had caused the Son ot God to visit the oarth. From the scriptures It was evident that Christ had lived for many centuries before His advent upjn the earth. When the fullness of the time had arrived , when It became necessary for Him to go forth and save humanity , He 'bad followed the commands of His Father. The call of the Savior , like all livings pertaining to tbo earth , was governed by time. Time element rvvas a factor In Ills birth , 'which ' la followed out In the llfo of everything "of which we faavo any knowledge. T\io tlmo of the ripen ing of wheat 'Is carefully figured by He of dlvlno wisdom and the law of development was never more strikingly brought out than with the advent of Christ to the earth. At a 'time ' when the world was Immersed In slnfulnoss It became necessary to take heroic measures to turn the people aside from their headlong stride toward ruin. God ha < i given Hla only 'begotten ' son .that the pcoplo might see the error of their ways and too redeemed. Ho had been persecuted , driven from place to place and had at length been crucified , yet out of It all his noble deeds would sblno through the ages past find to come. Dr. Duller filled Ills ecrmon with graphic pictures , In which ho Illustrated 'tho evolu tion of the human race from itho tlmo of Adam and Rve and showed that time had been the prime factor ot development. He discussed the growth of language from Ia simplest form to the present day , showing how tlmo olono wrought -wonders. The speaker said that the Garden ot Eden waa In o sense God's kindergarten. It had been the school In which the Great Master had attempted to Instill the principles ot right and wrong , yet the result showed that the tlmo selected was premature and that the porlo.1 was not rlpo ye * when man waa In a condition to understand the laws ot obedience and 'truth. ' Thus It had como to pagjttbat man had fallen and as bis flops continued downward the laws of progress later demanded that Chrlet should 'be ' sent to steady hid halting footsteps. Suffering and hardship bad been the lot ot the Redeemer throughout Ills existence on earth , yet He had submitted to It cheerfully and now In this enlightened period It was Ilia right and the duty of all mankind to join with the angels of the olden tlmo and elng "Glory to God on high , pcaco on earth , good will to men , " The advent of His birth would ever lie hailed -with Joy 'by Christiana as long as they were worthy of being called by that name. ON THE IIIIJIIUTV OP CIIU1ST. Dliconmp by Key.Vnrlleld nt Flrnt CouftrrKtillniutl Church , The eubjoct of Hev. P. A. Warfleld's dls- courao at the First Congregational church yesterday morning was the humility of Christ. The text , "Hut I am among you as ho who Berveth , " furnished the Inspiration of the sennon. The speaker tnld that the dyent of Christ hud brought with It a number of severe shoelcH to the idtas that had prorlouily prevailed. We at this lati day could tcurcely appreciate the novelty of Bomo of those trutln vhen'thfj were flrat proclaimed nor roallr ho revolution which they Involved. One tiu'so truths wag tbo Idea ol service as a t > Hii of religious Hie , ThU wa contrar ) to what had been the entabllsliod belief of cauntltus generations. Then < thj universal trugpe | was ( or tcso and luxury , and thought any sort of Ecrvlcc , mark of degradation rather than of nobil ity. The position token by the Saviour brought him ftcs > to face with u tremendous opposition AS It was directly antagonistic to the existing orxlcr of Inlniw. Out by the immo act Ho had Identified hlmseU with the class that was In the majority and Ho took hold with them of the burdens that was heaviest. The speaker declared tint theto was no higher dignity to be attained than that suggtntcd by the word "service. " Anything that tended to uplift a fellow man waa the highest moral Ideal. If on our tombstones could be carved the words , "A servant of man and of God" It would be a degree granted by the college of heaven. SUMIAV Mt'SIC AT THIS C'llllHCIIUS. Ht > c l l Niimlierx 'Iloiiili-rcil nt Several ( liiinliM Sniipdinrlen. Yesterday afternoon a special musical service was held at the First Congrega tlonal church under the Joint direction of Mrs. Frances Ford , organist , and Mr. F. C. Hadlcy , conductor. The choir consisted of about twenty young psoplo of the church and did some very eatUfaciory .fork in selections - ! lections from the "Messiah" and In an clab- I orate anthem by Dudley lluck cntltleJ " 0 ; Zlon that Tcllcst. " A short duet In the last ! number was well sung 'by ' MUs Louisa 1 Squires and Miss Grace Alliii. i * Miss Myrtle Coon gave an artistic ren dering of "Joruailem , " from Saint I'aul , by McndUssohn ; Mrs. 'G. ' W. Johnston sang "Oh Holy Night , " by Van do Water , and In spltr of a cold displayed a rich , I'l'l ' vulou and a pleasing Interpretation ot a rather dldlcult song. Mr. Hadley Is a newcomer to this city , and has alrt'idy demonstrated that there \yss room for him , atithere always Is lor real merit. Hla work with hU choir Is inn- slclanly. Ho has a fin ? 'jarltonu ' vol-e and sings with case. Ho has n iiimit duairce- ! ; 1 able tremolo that vltlatoi all th ? good.thlng * h > does nnd , for the undlscrlmlnatlng list ener , almost ruins his singing. His render ing yesterday of the 'great recital nnd aria from the "Messiah" was manly and digni fied excepting that the "who may abide" was sung 05 If It were a lov ; > song. Ills execution of the vocalizes with \vftlch Handel adorned his composition was clear and pow- , crful and his management of the br&uh generally , good. Without tht' ' tremolo h1. would be o. pleasing singer. The muslo at the First Methodist church yesterday was In keeping with the senti ment and traditions ot Christmas. Mr. Kelly playe'd a "Christmas Pastoral" by Morkcl , a transcription from Saint Saens' oratorio "Noel , " a "Chorus of Shepards , " by Lcmmens. the "Pastoral Symphony" from the "Messiah , " and a skillful Improvisation upon the theme of the Portuguese hymn. Tns choir consisted of thirty-five members , and pjng selections too numerous 'to men tion. Especially creditable was their ren dering of the great chorus "And the Glory , " ifrom "Tho Messiah. " In the morning Mr. Conklln sang a solo by Gado entitled "The Child Jesus. " Thu composition has little merit and I , * chiefly conspicuous for Its sameness throughout. Mr. Conklln displayed la lyric tenor voice ot pleasing quality and moderate power. Mrs. Kelly pang "The Manger Cradle , " by , Xeldllngcr , a composition of oJds anJ ends that have done duty In many a church ploco before. As hero aggregated they are a heavy load for a singer to carry , and Mrs. Kelly did nobly to make them Interesting. At the evening service Mr. Shank sang by the same composer "The Birthday ot a King , " with a breadth of tone and expres sion that atone'J for the Inane words and commonplace music for which Mr. Neld- llngir will one day have to answer. Master Elmer Umsted contributed as the offertory solo "Savior of Sinners. " by i ChenTbinl This boy has n voice that contains much promise. He and those who have his musi cal career In charge should remember that very soon It will undergo n radical change , completely reconstructing Its compa.is , and that If the quality Is to bo fresh and pure after this shall have bsen accomplished. great care must to taken now to protect It from strain and overwork. Tha voice li much like a bank account ; the more you draw out and use tbe less you have re maining. Master Umsted's singlng'shows musical talent that will be 'valuable ' when developed. Let him talui care not to in jure the Instrument upon which ho Is to play If he chooses tbe beautiful art of song as his life wcrk. Much credit Is due Mr. Kelly for the thorough manner in which hla musical forces were managed and for bis organ play- Ing.

A few days after thU announcement was made there was Issued a revised tariff sheet which mode a slight Increase In tbe freight rates cod ab sorbing the bridge tolls. The Increase In t'.ic late amounted to only about l-i cents on . 100 pounds. I It Is ( thought now that other roads \vlllv soon follow , and that the bridge toll will be absorbed by the railroads by January 1. An experienced rallrcnd mctl kuld yesterday that i ho was rat 1.5 fled that the Burlington would give notice ot a change In rates as far as , the bridge toll was concerned within a few , days. The Burlington , this railroader said , would not be affected to any great extent by 1 absorbing tlic bridge clmrgcii. as It bad a bridge of Us own at Plattmnouih. CommLsskn men assert that with the re moval of this charge the shipment * ot live stock from Iowa will materially Increase. H Is claimed that many shippers sent their stosk to Chicago In preference ! to paying the $1 per car charged for crossing the bridge. Tals change In the ratlrcail tariff sheets will , It Is thought , greatly Improve the market conditions here , and commlsslcri men will no\v make a fight for the Iowa trade which formerly went to other markets. PiitiNt ( < > Come In. An effort Is being made by Mayor Ensor and others to Induce the Pabst Brewing com pany of Milwaukee to purchase property here and open a number of saloons. Ever since the cunoiincoment was made that Armour would build a packing house here ihe StAilltz Brew ing comrany has been purchasing property In dlffcscnt parts ot the city and erecting buildings. At the present time the Sihlltz Dc-ole have at least twenty different pieces oj puiierty , and It Is understood that It the liquor license Is not raised t $1,000 six msro salocn building ? will be erected In the spring. The South Omaha Brewing company has been buying considerable property all over the city , and now owns over t'jlrty aaloons. This brewery proposes to tear dawn a number of f.anie saloon buildings which It now owns ind erect brick structures In the spring. Other breweries are also well represented here. There has been considerable correspondence between the mayor and officials of the Pabst brewery , and It Is stated that the matter of purchasing locations hero and erecting a Btro house Is to bo taken LI ) by the direc tors at a meeting to bo heid next month. Real estate men assert that the projects for prosperous times tft ° eomtag yere were never brighter. This fcellag Is not confined to real estate men alone , ns business men of all classes leak for a remarkably busy sca < son. After Ayer'H Senlp. The head officers of one of the packing houses hero have gene after the official scalp of Don C. Ayer , chief 'of the Bureau ot Animal Industry at this point , anJ It wao reported < m the streets a day or two ago thutome changes In the force would most likely bo made shortly after the commence ment of the new year. The Live Stock ex change has also pissed resolu'lors condemn ing Ayer and urging the secretary of agri culture to remove him. As one of Dr. Aycr's strongest supporters Is now no longer connected In an official capacity with the live stock Interest here It U openly pre dicted that the talked-of change will net bo long delayed. Stoelc Growers' Convention. Tbo local Live Stok exchange Is entitled to twenty delegates at the stock growers' convention to bo 'held In Denver next month pnj It Is more than likely that the live , stock Industry at this point' will be well repre sented. A number ol questions pertaining to the Interests of cattlemen will come up for discussion. It Is understood that an ef fort will bo made to combine the Interests of llvo etock growers , commission men anJ others Interested' ' in tho'business ' Ir..o ' a gen eral organization. Each of the" western states liar llvo stock associations and It Is thought that 'by ' combining the Interests of all parties a powerful organization would bo .the result. AVnrk oil Wetv PoMnflloe. A month or so ago It was stated In the Washington dispatches that bids for the construction ot the proposed federal build ing at this place would most likely ho advcr- tlsed for about December 25. It Is under stood that the plans and specifications are about completed and that tbo contract will 'bo ' let sn that work can commence early In the spring. The sUo" purchased for the neiv postofilco ibulldlng Is all cleared , with the exception ot ono little shade -which could bo moved In an hour or two. Custodian Mc Millan Is almost dally expecting orders to have this 'building ' removed from the site. Knocked Uctvii 1 > y CIIIISLTN. Irs. Anna Globe , -whoso home Is nt Twenty-eighth and I strscts , waa struck by a coaster at Twenty-sixth and L streets last evening and knocked down. There Is a very steep hill at the corner where the accident happened , and It was Impossible for the boys who were on the coaster to olthaj stop or divert the sled from Its course. Owing to the fact that her Ue.nl was well bundled up Mrs. Globe did not hear the crlfs of warning. She was considerably bruised , but It Is not thought that her Injuries are serious. CHy ( ioMslp.
