BISHOP WORTHINGTON'S ' MORNING SERMON

( Ion Vcrj- Apt to .Make Trouble
' riirlfttlniiN llou teAt
At old Thin ItfNlilt.
Bishop Worthlngton yesterday morning fi.
eertcd to the congregallcn of Trinity Cathe
dral that conscience la the cause of a moral
persecution In this day and ago which Is
as fierce as any ph > lcal persecutions of the
dark da > s ot the Christian church. He In *
elfltetl therefore that conscience U not RO
truly a religious thing an Is generally sup
posed and his sermon waa a warning to
lib hearers against alwaje considering It an
Infallible guide.
Dlshop Worthlngton said that the perse
cution results from a difference of opinion
iegardlng questions of faith and Is the ca"uao
of much Internal dissension In the church
It arises from the fact that a roan believe/ ?
In his consclcnco that ho Is right end tlat
tlioso who do not bcllcvo with him arc In
the wrong. This U the root of religious
bltterneffl , since the conscience Is enlisted
on both stdio and therefore both sides arc
confident they are right. The trouble Is at
flrat a dispute , but It Is certain to result
finally In a fight , although the fight Is fre
quently one of words.
The bishop asserted , too , that In such a
light the good man who Is corsctcntloua Is
likely to do much more c\ll than the bad
man. The former believes that he Is doing
his duty to Hod and ho will bo deterred by
no remonstrance. As a matter of fact , he
will get It Into his head I Nit he Is fighting
for God , and ho will willingly undergo pun
ishment for the sake of his convictions. The
bad man , on the other hand , Is not laboring
for a principle and will therefore stop when
ho seems to bo threatened with punishment
From this \lovv of the matter the bishop
asserted that conscience Is not so fine a
thing , nor Is It so truly religious as Is gen
erally supposed. In fact , If It Is enlisted on
the wrong side of a questlea it is a ntub-
born and unmanageable thing. Therefore It
Is not enough for a man to bo conscientious
Ho must not consider his conscience a guide
In Itself , but a guide only through and b >
Borne standard of right. Onl > on this thcor >
Is It possible that there 's a Jewish con
science , a Mohammedan conscience , a Chris
tian conscience and other consciences In the
ivorld.
Bishop Worthlngton asserted , however ,
that It Is natural that there should bo dlf
feronccs of opinion between Christans ,
since religion Is to broad. The difficulty
arises , though , from the fact that as soon
as a disagreement arl es the sword of con
troversy U chosen. Strife end controversj
novcr settled a dispute , but on the other
hind result In a weakening of the church
The differences of opinion arc rarely Incom
patible with Chriatlin principles or against
the tenets of the church , or arc expressed
In heretical manner. The bishop , therefore
pointed out that the better and the wleor
way would be to settle the dlffeicnce b >
communion with God and lu a peaceable
manner.
Continual dispute , c\en over Important
matters , had never ended in any results
Vor Instance , a dispute has been going on
for a thousand jcars over the mjstcry of
the communion , and jet the world Is no
nearer the solution. The bishop InsIsteJ
that such a mjetery Is not to bo under
stood , but must bo accepted on faith. As it
Is not the chemical knowledge of the food ,
but the food , which nourishes , so It Is not
a theory of the Lortl's fc'ippcr , but the
'K * JKKU.oupper Itself , tvhkh nourishes the
coiif. * * - - . * .
In concluding the tiehop named the con
gregation ag.ilmst the man of conscience wno
exaggerates differenced'nnd thus sows dis
sension. Ho said that the churth Is oo unl
lied and has too much-pra.ctlf.al religion to
be split up bj any dlftero'nco < } ln opinion
rnd therefore ho artvlsedhls.bearers that
they need have no cause for"fear ,

iTho pulpit of the Virst Presbyterian
chinch was very ably ociupled yesterday
by Hov. Frank " \V. Hussell of Jlarshalltovvn ,
la. Her. 5Ir. Hussell Is comparatively a
Soung man , but ho has acquired the faculty
of making his discourses effective without
nppnrent effort. After a few sentences he
nlmost Invariably supplies the remainder by
nn anecdote or Illustration , which carries
the point homo to the listener without fa
tiguing him by a laborious argument
In his morning sermon Hcv tMr. Russell
flpoko en the declaration , "And Enoch
Walked with God. " This , ho uald , was
jirobably the briefest biography ever writ
ten , but it was Infinitely the most beautiful
It told the whole ttory of a perfect lite. It
ivas never Intended that to walk with God
ono must Imnuiro himself behind cloister
\valls. Was iMartln Luther closer to God
when the monastery doors closed behind
him than when In aoleu of thunder ho
proclaimed the doctrines of the reformation
tion/ Was Simeon Stylito , who pent his
thirty years on top of the tower In nlmost
constant pra > cr , closer to God than Paul ,
tvho spent his Ilfo in spreading the gospel
through Asia Minor ? In this connection
tha speaker referred to the Trapplst monks
who occupy a monastery near Dubuque ,
Their reparation from the world Is so com-
plcto that soiuo of them do not oven know
that this country has had a civil war , but It
is a mistaken belief that their Ignorance
brings them nearer to God.
Continuing. Mr. Hussoll declared that
walking with God does not mean coming to
Ills sauctuary at stated Intervals to worship
Him It means continual prayer and com"
munlon , The river does not How because
lit Intervals It goes over a catnwct or Is
whirled onward by a rapid. It U betatito
tlio force of gravity Is exerted on every foot
of Its course. It Is so with the Christian
life. There must bu a constant , nover-ccas-
ing attraction , the love ot God drawing ever
toward Him.
'Ihu speaker suggested , however , that God
Is something more than force and strength
anil power. IIo Is the Puthor and the Per
son. Wo could Know Him , whom to know
U Ufa eternal , us one who lovuth and careth
for Ilia people It Is this t'.oso communion
'ttlth God which given the faith which has
Imbued men with eouiago to die with emllcs
on their lips Ihcro la nothing that will
glvo men courage like a constant and un-
tailoring faith , U Is particularly essential
that man should walk with Gel In times
when trouble ) and doubts iibsall him It Is
then ho has the most need for the dlvlno
companionship , Finally to walk with God
means that when life U over the Christian
shall not sco di > ath , but will walk with God
Into eternal life.

Ilev. John McQuoUl at the First MtthodUt
church yesterday had for h ! subject "Sa
tan's Second Assault. "
When tlio alluring words of the tempter
liad gtceted the earn of Chrlsl In the wilder-
ncus and had promised Him all manner of
worldly power and riches U IIo would but
only follow In his footsteps , 1hu Saviour had
replied : "Get thco behind 31 e , Satan , Thou
ehalt worship Iho Lord thy God. " The devil
had attempted to gain tbo mastery over
Chrldt by appealing to a weakness which
< was common to all mankind the love of
tvealth and power over others , IIo had failed ,
Ijecnuso Christ was born of a stronger sub-
Blanco than Ills fellow men and know that
< ho tempter dealt only lu subterfuge. Hut
the weakness of humanity In thin direction
iiad been evidenced before and after tbo advent -
vent of Chi 1st upon earth. U Is man's na
ture to gain sovereignty over the natural
forces , and thU Inclination Is as much a
part of his composition as It Is tor him to
lii oat lit ) Iho oxygen which makes life pos
sible. This longing to acquire mastery U In
A seueo a dlvlno gift , no long a It U used
legitimately , but the wish for greater power
than nature allows la often the means ot
abixlng God's kindness and breaking Ilia
law * . It Is at this time the devil comes In.
"Everyone should possess the royal purple -
plo of Intellectuality , " said Iho speaker.
ICvcr since the Inception of man ho had
wished that the armies of hU nation should
be the strongest , his battleships the ntaunch-
oflt , bin science the most profound and that
ho and his people might excel In all things.
The unfolding of Iho kingdoms of art and
literature according to natural processes U
no ln , the sin consists In gaining them In
an unfair way. Wrong methods gUe rise to
the creation of a kingdom ot the -world , a
monarchy conducted brute and devil fashion ,
outraging at every turn the laws ot God.
"Alt these things will I give ye It ye will
fall down and worship me , " said the devil ,
and man , deluded by the bauble which waa
set before him , has fallen In the olden time
the kingdom ot homo upon earth almont
verged upon the divine , Marriage wag the
most sacred law which man Instituted In
the present time the law of divorce based
'Upon ' selfishness , worldllncss and greed
seems the most potent. A scrutiny of such
conditions would reveal the hand of the
devil.
Dr. McQuold eald that the laws of the
present civilization appear to work toward
the abolition of the home and the profana
tion of marriage. Marriage has always
formed the unit of civilization. When It hao
been disregarded whole nations have fallen.
When love , respect and tenderness have
given place to lust and sensuality , the na
tion which encouraged It was fast tottering
upon the brink of Its fall. The speaker de
scribed the wars of conquest oa carried on
by Napoleon as a worship of the devil The
erica ot ( ho stanlng and dying , the walla
of ruined families were nothing In the ears
of the world's greatest generil as he lookefl
forward only to moro power. Yet his fall ,
according to the dlvlno law , -vas as tcirtbio
as his rise had been phenomenal. Ho l < a <
pa sed his whole life In worshiping the devl
and It had profited him nothing. Thus It Ic
easily demonstrated that the kingdom of the
earth did not belong to the devil.
In closing Dr McQuold said that our own
country Is dally growing more powerful am
bids fair to outstrip all other nations. I
has Buffered Its baptisms of bloodshed am
flro In the wars of the Revolution and He
belllon , and consequently hns little to fcai
from these sources In the future The men
ace to the prosperity of the United States
la In the breaking up of the homo nnd the
abuse of political power. Among our fore
fathers there had been many statesmen , but
unfortunately these noble men have given
place In the present decade to the "politi
cian. " Politics and the homo should be kept
pure and thla accomplished the nation has
llttlo to fear.

The announcement that Her. A. F. Sher-
illl , D. D. of Galesburg , 111. , a former pastor
of the First Congregational church of this
city , would occupy the pulpit of thit church
restetday drew out large sized congrega
tions at both the morning and the evening
services.
At the morning service Dr. Sherrill
ireached a sermon based on "Tho Three
jood Cheers of Jesus Christ. " The first of
the good cheers to which ho alluded -was
that found In Matthew Ix , 2 , where Christ
slid , "Do ot good chcci. " In his Introduc
tory remarks Dr. SI crrill said : "Tho words
of the text were uttered , by Jesus Christ
ilmself. If wo do our best through life
there will still bo many things to darken
our way , but 'good news' Is the central
home of our faith. I know some theologians
do not appear to believe this , or at least
they do not always argue this way , but it's
a fact , nevertheless The first of the thieo
good checrb of Christ which iwo shall con
sider this morning Is that In the words of
ho text. These vvoids were spoken to the
nan who was sick of the palsy. He was
nought to Jesus and let down through thereof
roof on account of the great crowd about
, h ( > place. Ho made no especial appeal to
Jesus. His own suffering body was all the
appeal that was needed. Christ said unto
lira , 'Son , bo of good cheer. Thou ait made
whole. ' These were the best words tlio sick
nan had heard In many a long day. But
Uhr st also spoke to him of a greater want
He said to the palsied nwn , 'Son , be of good
chctr ; thy sins have been forgiven thee , ' In
doing this C'hrLst showed right there how
10 regarded the welfare of the man's soul ,
lo did not mention anything about i idles
or wealth or family , but He said , 'Thy sins
MVO been forgiven thce. ' By Christ's own
word Ho made the man to bo happy even
after ho was taken back home. iHo takes
s > in away and makes us right with Him and
H's ' Father.
"Tho second good cheer Is that Ho takes
away our fear. In Matthew xlv 27 , we re-id
where the disciples went out on the lake.
\ . storm v/as growing and the disciples were
s > ere afraid. In the gray dawn of the early
nornlng they saw a figure nppicaching
hem. It was Christ , and Ho said unto
them , 'Do not afraid. It Is I. ' Their fear-
smitten hearts were Immediately turned to
ioy mid trustfulness. 'The angel of the Lord
encimpcth round about them that fear Him '
Jesus Christ never allowed fear In Himself
and sought to prevent It In others We all
hive our fears. It Is a shallow soul that
affects not to caro. But the message of
HI rlst to every believer Is that though these
.htngs be true iwo may s-ifel > commit every
thing to His keeping These are the words
of neither a stole , nor of a fool , nor of the
nane. But It Is Christ Jesus who will make
t well with every one who trusts Htm.
"Tho third good cheer Is In the fact tlrnt
ilo gives us strength to take away our
.roubles , our trials and our tribulations
He of good cheer ; I have overcome tha
woild. ' The Intimation hero Is that 'jou , as
my disciples , may share with me. ' Wo may
at times bo cast down , but wo arc not de-
strojcd. Ho says , 'In mo you are con
querors , more than conquerors , ' We must
lot bo weak and fall down. Let us have
: ourago In our hearts. Disease is con
tagious , hut so Is ihoalth. So wo may help
each other. Let us look on the br ght Bide
of things. I know many congregations that
lave been Iielped Just by the people icsolv-
ng to stand up for their church , to talk It
up. To those who only will sea It the world
through God's T > ovver Is growing better , Re
demption Is going to be the great success of
eternity and triumph the song the angels
'or ' all time to come. "

U was a matter of some surprise that
Minnesota , which with -Missouri , California

but the start has been made , and thcro Is
to bo no more lagging behind. Last week

H may surprise ninny to know that Ne
braska produces , among nuny other things ,
a most excellent quality ot pine lumber.
Sheridan anl Daxvcs counties In the north
western part of the state oicli has n con
siderable area of land covered with n thick
growth of plno which cuts Into lumber of
merchantable size and sells on the spot for
$10 per thousand. Charles Mann , a member
of the State l > oatd ot Agriculture and a res
ident of Dawea county , has been In the city
during the last few days on business , and
ho brought the matter to the attention of
the Nebraska Exposition commission with a
view of having that body take hold of the
matter and providing for an oxhlbll of Mie
lumber Interests of Nebraska. Mr. Mann
says the pine trees In his neighborhood
average fully two feet In diameter and about
forty feet In height , running up twenty feet
or moro perfectly straight without a ilmb
Ho says It la n common thing to find Irecs
four feet In diameter and sixty feet high ,
tunning forty feet to the lower limbs and
about two feet In thickness at that distance
from the ground. This lumbar Is a yellow
plno which makes good building matcilal
and Is In great demand In that locality.
Mr. Mann suggested to Assistant Secretary
Dealing of the Nebraska.commlsclon that n
pyramid bo mode of samplis of this Umber ,
stalling with n cross-section of n four-foot
tree and using smul'er ' sections to anv de
sired height. Ho offered to supply the ma
terial If the commission would furnish Ihe
Bfaco. Dr. Hearing will bring the milter to
the attention of the commission at Its next
meeting and a lumber display will probably
form ono fcaluro of Nebraska's exhibP.

stamp ot lha scries Tnls did not stilke the
postmaster general favorably , and he substi
tuted the Dads bridge at St. Louis foi the
Hock Island structure. One of the stiongcst
arguments for the Rock IslanO bridge was
that It was the finest structure of any
magnitude over the Mississippi ilvei , and
Ihcrefore should be honored w th a place on
the new stamps. In making the anange-
mentsfor the new series for Omaha the
bridge stamp was to have been of the $2
denomination , but the postmaster general
determined upon another change. He
thought the bridge should bo placed on the
most popular denomination , and accordingly
ordered it changed to the 2-cent stamps
These designs are now at the Biiiean ot En
graving and Printing , and It Is the desire
of the postal authorities to ha\c them ready
for distribution June 1 , 'When ' the exposition
Is to bo inaugurated.
