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.

South Omaha News
Tbo removal of the brldgo toll by the
Omaha , Kansas City & Eastern railroad , the
announcement of which was made In yester
day's Bee , has inoro than pleased commis
sion men and others at Kio Live Stock ex
change , Sotno days ago the Hock Island
served notice that It would take oft the $4
charged for hauling a car of live stock across
the Missouri river bridge. 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.

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.
