Beth Hdcn Baptist church's now pastoi
'Tlev. ' c. II. Allen. Jr. , assumed charge of hi
new pulpit yesterday morning and thl
brought out n good congregation despite th
Vllsarceabe ! weather. There Is no doub
thai thp new minister created a favorabl
Impression. Ho spoke extemporaneously an
Implyas K his words came from his hcarl
In his opening remarks Itev. Mr. Alle
referred briefly to his pleasure In recetvln
end accepting the call to Beth Eden churcl
He said that when he had been Invited t
npeak huro on bis way to the east he had nc
considered himself a candidate for the vt
cant pastorate , and that consequently the ca
came to him as a nurprlao. Ho saw In It th
'will of God , and It was for that reason ths
3io accreted. Ho said that the Invitation t
thp pulpit had doubtless been Bent by th
'concrrsatlon because they believed hit
competent to build up the church , but h
Ins'stcd and said he expected that Hi th
worlhe would have the earnest and whole
Ihcarted co-operation of the congregation.
Ills sermon was on the "Missions ot tl :
Church. " Ho on Id that In th past th
Catholics , the Presbyterians , Methodlsti
illaptlcii and other denominations had n
Bpcctlvoly Insisted that each were the whol
church , Implying that everybody outsli
their creeds did not belong to God's churcl
3lapplly , that day ban gone by and now tli
word rhurch Is understood In the senao I
which It Is employed In the Now Tcstamet
the called'Out ones , the select and cliche
onca of the earth. Any man who now b
KOVCH In Christ as a saviour Is a part
tlio church not the church of Mcthodlo
or Baptists or of Catholics , or ot any othi
denomination , but the church of Jest
Christ.
WHAT THE CHURCH MKANS.
The first mission of the rhurch , the past
cotitlnnei1. Is the conversion of men
Christ. This mission does not consist simp
of each man saving his own soul. It meai
that Christ deslreo to reach through eve :
other soul that hns been saved some so
that lei still uiircgcneiatc. Another mlssti
Is the culture of Christian character. Mai
licoplo think that their work Is ended win
V . they brine e iicrion to realise the need
" Christ as n saviour and Induce him to a
cept Him. No matter how strong a man
woman may be physically , Intellectually i
morally , ho Is nothing more than a babe
"the " church.
The final mission of the church Is to pt
mcato the community In which It Is local
with a religious and spiritual Influence.
Tests on every member of the congrcgitlc
Jiovvevcr , to see to It that the religious I :
llucnco of the church Is not confined wltli
its four walls , but goes out Into the socle
on tha outside '
Rev. Allen was for twelve years the p :
tor ot a church In Helena , Mont. , which pi
pit ho occupied at the tlmo the call w
Issued by Ueth Eden chuich. The position
occupied In tlmt city Is Indicated In a letl
received In this city from Preston II. Lcsl
United States district attorney for Montai
Mr. Leslie Is unknown personally to a
anembcr of < the local congregation , but
Ktatci' that ho felt called upon to speak
the high character and ability of Mr. All
and hla wife. Ho sold that the pastor w
very popular generally In the city , bore
excellent Christian character , was a ha
. * -worker and student. His work haa alvva
' l > en ably seconded by his wife. When S
Allen took hold of the Helena church It h
liut a email congregation , but has now '
members.

"Christ , the light of the world" was th
theme of A very practical discourse whlc
Rev. John McQuold delivered ot the Fin
Mothodlat Church yesterday morning. Th
sermon dealt with the spiritual lessons to t
learned from the earthly life of Christ , whlc
the speaker regarded as the essence <
Christianity and the pattern that all be
llevcrs should endeavor to follow ,
Dr. McQuold says when the words an
works of Christ are taken apart from th
inallco of their surroundings , their dlrlnlt
Is tnado manifest. A universal longing fc
light Is characteristic of all ages. It la c
account of this sentiment In the huma
breast that the sua has ( been worshipped b
millions ot adorers. The cry of the sanctt
arifs through all the ages has been "Moi
light. " What Is light ? A scientific defln
lion U neither possible cor required. II
primary olHce Is to make things visible whll
it Is Itself unseen. By mears of light w
see all the l ! > eautlea ot nature , but 'the ' llgl
Itself Is Invisible. So It h the mission <
Christ , not to call attention particularly I
Himself , but to make It possible for men I
see (3od and to comprehend spiritual truth
There Is nothing BO naslly apprchendel t
light cither In Its physical or splrltui
stose. The man > who lives for Christ
known to be a Christian , even though h
lips ara unable to articulate the profcealc
of his faith.
The speaker declared that the first ml
slou of Christ Is to enable mankind to for :
( i more adequate conception of the Dclt ;
Crod could never bo fully understood or con
prchendoJ. The vastness of ( His nature
so overwhelming that oven the Itnaglnatlc
cannot grasp It. Philosophy Is merely
search for Go < 3 , but It can never fully a <
compllnh Its purpose. In Christ the ui
knowablp Is made known. All that Is in Gt
Is not revealed In Jesi's ' Chtlst. but all th :
humanity needs Is made known.
The light of the llfo of Christ also enabli
mankind to see what true Christianity Is.
man Is a Christian In the same proportlt
as his life resembles that of Christ , fi
Christ lived the principles He taught. II
teachings are Inseparable from his perso
nllty. 'He ' never uttered a moral maxim th
did not have a ruoro beautiful correlative
his life.
The thlid element of which the llfo
Christ affords a conception Is the klngdo
of Coil. When he said , "The kingdom of G <
Is among you , " ho meant It In a liter
sense. ( He Is the kingdom of God and tl
tudy of flls llfo discloses what the wor
lould bo If that kingdom were universal
itiibllshed. With monarchs who fear Gi
n the thrones of the world , war would 1
mposslble and the social problems th
ow occasioned alarm and suffering wou
o longer exist.

Secret prayer was the theme ot E
Lampo's Sunday morning- discourse at tl
First Presbyterian church yesterday. LI
without prayer , said Dr. Lampe , Is the sl |
of life without grace. God had command
that Ills followers shall withdraw to oecr
places for the purpose ot prayer , and 1
has promised open reward for such prayi
Much pra > lng 1s done In such a way as

Bomethkig that the public can see and hec
Christ doeu not deny the right of publ
praying , but He Insists upon secret pray
from all who profess to love Htm. In i > u
lie prayer one Is tempted to make a cred
able performance much ns the actor
musician. A desire to curry public fav
restricts the appeals to God and tempts o
to omit requests which are lu. the hca :
Secret prayer Is an n3 essary to Chrlstl
frultfulnefH an cultivation Is to the pi
ductlvencss of a Held. It sweetens t
temper , overcomes perverse desires and c
oblea one to approach more nearly the llli
ness ot Christ ,
Dr. Lampe emphasize/ ? the necessity
confessing our sins. It is the custom
some to confess to a human priest with t
understanding that the world shall nor ,
hear what la uttered at thc > confession
Protestants have no prleota to whom th
can confess their sins , excepting the gn
high pi lest , and to Him should bo told ,
the trials and perplexities of life. Neltt
should all the tlmo that we spend In prlv :
with God bo given to pra > er. We shoi
commune with Him In silence and bo help
by the sense ot His gracious presence w !
us. Such communion will help the 'oclioi
to keep his heart pure and ready to recel
divine truths. General Gordon cad otl
great men would not permit a day to p :
without this blessed communion. They h
not strength and courage to cuter upon th
day's duty unless they asked for God's hie. .
'ng and submitted to Him the plans tt
had outlined.
"Ceosecrate a room In your house as
prayer clcset , a place In which you will
free from Intrusions , and seek It dall ;
urged the speaker. "Let It be known
all that the Christian llfo Is a llfo hid w
Christ In God. "

the Ilronil Standpoint of the
Olmertlnir Student.
Outcido the circle of those having odlcla
connection with the governments Interestei
there are but few men who are In a bettei
position to speak on the present crisis It
International affairs than Jacob GouU
Schurman , president of Cornell university
who spent Frldaj and Saturday In Omaha
the guest of the local alumni of that mil
vorslty. Acquainted with President McKIn
ley , he has exchanged some letters on th <
popular subject of discussion with the na
t Inn's chief executive. Standing very closi
to the present minister to Spain , ho la In :
position to know something of the sttuatlot
oxlstlns there. Hon. Stewart L. Woodford
minister to Spain , was a guest at Prcslden
Schurman's homo In Ithaca , N. Y. , whci
notified of his appointment by I'reslden
McKlnley , and the two have since kept ui
their Intimate friendship. Personally ac
qualntei with the former minister of tin
United States to Spain , President Schurmat
has learned from him nomethlng of the feel
Incs toward America that existed In Spall
prior to the present period of strained rela
tlons. Hon. Hannls Taylor , ex-minister ti
Spain , has recently been a guest at 1'rcsl
dent Schurman's home , and the latter , will
hlo natural bent for keen Inquiry , glcanei
considerable Information from him.
PROCTOR'S CONVINCING REPORT.
Before leaving Omaha President Schur
men gave an Interview to Th

as been a great change In the situation. T

vas so simple. It was evidently made wit'
great self-restcalnt. If the facts are now o.
eprescntcd by Senator Proctor and by othe

corns to me that the United States Is boun

civilization. It Is therefore more Incumbei
upcn us to Intervene between Spain an
3uba than It Is upon any European natlo
to Intervene In Bulgaria or Armenia.
.ON . WHAT GROUNDS.
"Tho important question In regard -to h
terventlon , It seeme to me , Is the grout
of Intervention. On what ground shall tt
United States Intervene between Spain at
3uba ? There are only two reasons known
ntornatlonal law on which the UnHed Stati
could pccslbly Intervene In this presei
Spanish-Cuban war. The first Is to jirotc
the trade b
our own Interests. Although
tween this country and Cuba has been a
most annihilated by the present war , It doi
not Beero to mo that this country would 1
Justified In Intervening on this ground. Tl
second reason for Intervention uccordlng
the accepted principles of International la
Is Intervention on the ground of humanlt
Intervention on such n pround 's wholly ui
selfish , and Indeed Is qilto , self-sacrlflcln
This Is the only ground on which we c :
now Intervene. There Is no other ground (
which wo can. We must remember that v
must Justify Intervention to different Inte
csts. First , wo must Justify Intervention
the Judgment of the people of our own cou
try ; secondly , wo must Justify Intorvcntli
to foreign nations : and thirdly , wo must Ju
tlfy Intervention before the bar of hlstor
On the grounds of humanity , It seems fo m
Intervention would bo abundantly Justified ,
"Ought wo to Intervene ? The question
whether the time to Intervene has > et a
rlvcd must bo decided by President McKI
toy. He Is In pcssasslon of all the facts
the matter and Is alone able to Judge whether
or not the tlmo to In-tervcno has come ,
far as th" facts In the eoso have been ma
pu'bllo ' I suould guess 'that the tlmo has
rived.
'MERELY ' AN INCIDENT.
"In regard to the iMalne Incident I sbou
say that It has brought the Cuban matt
homo to our feelings. In Itself It Is only ;
Incident In International affairs. It Is i
Incident , too , qulto susceptible to Intern
tlonal adjustment. Cvcn though the sh
were destroyed by external agencies , t
fact would not ioltsclf 'be a casus belli , u
less the destruction of the ship had be
ordered by the ( Spanish government , Unle
forthcoming evidence shall prove beyond
doubt that such was the case It Is wholly 1
conceivable to me that the Maine was blov

Why should Srulu go out of Its way to crea
a formidable enemy through an act ot bast
treachery ?
"I realize the horrors of war. On genei
principles il am opposed to war. But the
are cases where war Is necessary. I shoi
consider war now Justified to protect t
population of Cuba from extermination

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
Within tiie last few months the export
business at the pucklng houses hero bus In
creased nearly BO per cent and this demand
la constantly growing. The receipts of hogs
at 'this ' market from January 1 of this year
up to date show an Increase of 90,405 head aa
compared with the same period of 1897. In
speaking about the export trade a day or
two ago E. A. Cudahjt eald' that his exports
for the mouths of November and December
of 1897 and January and February of thla
year showed an Increase of fully 50 per
cent over the same months a year ago. The
export business at the Cudahy house In De
cember wan greater than during any one
month slnoo tha plant had been established
In 'this city. This year , Mr. Cudahy naU.
much larger quantities of goods had been
shipped to continental Europe than ever before -
fore , notwithstanding the restrictions placed
upon these goods by the various continental
governments. Great Britain , which la tills
country's best customer for beef and pork
products , Is at the present tlmo taking moro
than the usual quantity ot American cured
meats.
Officers of the Omaha Packing company
also report a largo Increase In the demand
for export meats. During the four months
mentioned above this house exported nearly
twlco OD much pork as a year ago. There
Is also quite a demand for lard manufac
tured at this point and largo shipments arc
being made almost dally.
Manager Noyes of the Hammond PackIng -
Ing company states 'that ' the records In hU
office show an Inciease of 43 per cent over
of the Hammond
a year ugo. The shipments
mend company are principally to England ,
Scotland , Switzerland , Germany , Italy , Nor
way and Franco. Until recently the greater
portion of the exporting done by thla com
pany wus handled at the headquarters In
Chicago , but now different arrangements are
In force and the house here will supply a
great deal of the export stuff.
This tame condition of affaire existed until
recently at the Swift plant. It was only a
short tlmo ago when the packing ot meat
for export was commenced at Swift and
Company's house here. Manager Price says
that even during the few weeks this work
has been under his charge here ho has no
ticed a decided Increase In the demand for
South Omaha products. The shipments of
Swift and Company are made to continental
Europe principally , although some ship
ments are made to South American countries.
Slnco March 1 of this year the South
Omaha packers have handled 95,000 hogs , as
against 80,000 packed during the first three
weeks ot March , 1897. The government micro
scopical department Is hardly able to keep
up with the demand and It Is stated by the
packers that additional mlcroscoplsts are
badly needed In order to prevent delays In
the filling of foreign orders.
