THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY , OCTOBER 10 , 1808. fi LIBERALS TAKE COUNSEL i . Kellgions Congress Opens in the lint Congregational Ohurch , WELCOMED BY AN EXPOSITION OFFICIAL n > Mil Illmcli of OilenRO Deliver * the Mernion , Outlining the Ob ject * of the 1'rencnt Untuerlnwr. About every seat of the First Congrega tional church was occupied last evening at the opening ecjslon of the Liberal Congress of Hcllclons. The delegates were present In Rood number , 'though ' not o many as there nil ) be when the congress is more under wav todav and tomorrow. The feature of the evening was the sermon by Rabbi E. O. Hlrnch of Chicago explanatory of modern liberalism. A brief address of welcome by Chairman Thomas Kllpatrlck of the local committee was the flret thing. As It had been thu nrtvllcec of Omaha and Nebraska to keep ooen house this year he extended a welcome to the hospitality of the exposition. Ho managed to pay a compliment to Itev. Jen kin Llovd Jones , the secretary of the con gress , whom ho regarded as "one1 crying In the wilderness" In the vanguard of liberal ism , far ahead of the "only" two liberal churcbefl of this city. In the absence of Itev. T. J. SInckay ol All Saints' and Rev. John McQuold of the First Methodist Episcopal church , who were down for addresses of welcome , the main address of welcome was made by Hon. W , O. Whltmore of Valley , Neb. Many laugh able points' were ma do by Mr. Whltmore in n sort of apology for the position he , a rnctlc farmer of Nebraska , had been made to take bv the Invitation of Rev. Newton M , Mann In being placed among ministers nnd he observed that , with his present as- \ floatations , his mind naturally turned to trxts and collections. Ono gentle sarcasm of the speaker woe that whilst doctors o dlvlnltv. rabbis and rectors were expectct to bo good for $5,000 and $10,000 a year layman - man have to bo good for nothing , nnd some succeed ! Moodv had once found a man who , refused to bold up his bunds when the nrea ir.vlvallst told ail who wanted to go to heaven to do so. Asked why , the man's an swer was that he "wanted to go to heaven all right , but not ! In that crew. " Mr. Whit - moro's application of this was that ho w.i willing to go to heaven In the liberal crew Touching on Nebraska's material re sources. Its agricultural products hat amounted to over $55,000,000. It has 3,00 ( factories with a capital of $10,000,000 in vrstcd. paying out annually $13,000,000 in wages , the value of their output being $05 , 000.000. Tacking houses bring this stnt near lo the packing center of the world and fourteen railroads , with n mileage ot 1.730 miles , carry Nebraska's commp-"o In f verv direction. The etato has six universi x ties , twenty-nine colleges , seventeen acad emies. G.61'0 common schools and seventy- five private schools , which educate 360,000 of its cons and daughters. Ho continued : And when last week 300.000 citizens of our ' ccuntry came pouring In from her valleys nnJ plains , her cities nnd villages , to partlcl- MITST GO AIIUOAI ) To I.enrn A lion t Your Home. "A short tlmo ago I was visiting In New Tork State , Massachusetts and Connecticut , ami I was particularly Impressed with the number of times I was asked what I knew about Postum CJereal Food Coffee , made " " at Dattlo Creek. I generally replied that I had never used rostum , but know of a good many who did , nnd I knew It was made by men who de voted their tlmo and study to the perfec tion of food nnd food beverages. MUS. It. K. .MU. > AillA\ . 7-iB X. Waterloo Air. . .Inoknnn , Mich , One of my former classmates , Mrs. E. Kinsley ot AVfetfield , Mass. , seemed greatly surprised that I had never used Postum. The family warn very enthusiastic over Its effect upon them. Said they could not enJoy - Joy life without It. The physician had recommended total abstinence from coffee , as she had Injured her digestive organs by using It , and was considered a con firmed and Incurable dyspeptic , hut when put upon Postum Cereal Food Coffee , shn Immediately began to get well , and left off the drugs and the coffee. Now she ID able to oat anything she likes without the least . nymptom of disease. Her llfo before had been ono of suffering , and It Is now one of enjoyment. She said 'it would bo Im possible to speak too highly in Its praise. When I was at Westlleld eight years ago , I visited Mr. Albert Atkins , who was then a very great sufferer. Hoth he and his .friends did not think It possible for him to live more than .a short time. I found ilm ho well on this visit that I Insisted upon knowing what made the change. He ' aald he had visited every point on the , compass , and tried almost everything h 'had heard recommended , but all to no auUl until bo was lead by the Fostum Cereal articles to suspect that thu little coffee h < 'drank was really poisoning him day by day and from the very tlmo he quit coffee en tirely and began to use Postum , he begai to get b'etter. He Is a very wealthy mar nd travels a great deal , but says he ncvei leaven hurao for one night without his out- i fit of Postum. While at Jamlaca Plains , Mas3. , I vlsltei n retired sea captain's home. He said li ill his experience , far and uear , on lane lor water , be had never found any beverage that would compare -with Postum , Ccrea ifood Coffee. While be used to drink cof fee he suffered with headaches , rtrowsinett , and an unnatural thickening of the bloqd , but since quitting the common coffee am using Pojtuiu. bo waa free from ull hti nllracnU. I drank tny first cup of Pustuu 'with him , and to my surprise , found It i very delicious , palatable drink , \\hlch , nave since used with favorable results , , opuot tell halt what I beard In praise o 1'ostum during my visit In the east. It I kufflclent to say that Poitum has a ver : firm foothold vtth tny eastern friends. I wUU to add that on one or two oca elans I have bad Postum served to m < r ( bcr Hat , but always know In such cake that It Is simply because It has nut bcei nllpwcJ to boll Jens enough to hrluf ; ou MJ Jcl/cite / and \vell knowu tUvur.

And jet , less than ntty years ago , this region was the camping ground of the Indians. The speaker recalled the greeting at the exposition of General Miles by the Apache chlet , Ocronlmo , whom Miles had trailed and captured years ago In the mountain fastnesses of Arizona. With more good words for Nebraska and the exposition and , assuring the congress that here "would he met representatives of learning nnd preach ers who dare utter their last , brst conviction of truth , " he concluded with an apt quotation from Whlttler's Centennial Hymn. Dr. H. W. Thomas of Chicago , the presi dent of the congress , responded. Said he : Theie Is something In the climate , soil , scenery and natural surroundings of a people ple which Influences not only their Indus tries but their habits of thought and their emotional and Inspirational nature. The western types are like their long livers , bread prairies and deep skies. They at tempt to do everything in n large way. This has been your spirit from the lime the Invitation from jour committee reached us down In Nashville. We felt that we were not welcome there , for the orthodox clergy were afraid of UH at Nashville , but Just then came your Invitation , signed by both or-1 thotlox nnd liberal preachers , and I couldn't help faying , "This thing ot religious opin ion Is quite a matter of geography. " We rejoice with you in this large religious and mental hospitality. The Liberal congress in terferes with no denomination. We seek not to tear down hut to build up nnd to estab lish a common fellow shin In the common purpose of good life. We would , if we could , break down these walls which sep arata us. Dr. IIIrxeli'M Add run * . After a recital of the Lord's prayer and a solo by Mrs. Martin Cahn , Dr. Hlrsch de livered his sermon. It was a resume of the growth of liberal sentiment from mere toleration eration In the Eighteenth century to the present practical humanltarlnnlsm. He de fined what modern liberalism consists In and contrasted It with various phases ot liberalism. In substance he said : The liberal In religion Is not , as he is generally represented , a child of our decade , but Is about as old as religion Itself. The liberal In ho who has heard the divine com mand which came to Abraham to leave the land ot hl lather nnd of his birth and go forth to a land unknown. If this be the character of a liberal , then Moses wna a liberal , Jesus was n liberal , HUSH and Luther and Savarmrola. Giordano. Hruno Buddha and Zoroaster. But the liberalism of this century is spun of a fiber altogether different from that of the Eighteenth cen tury. That of the Eighteenth century was the liberalism of tolerance , BO highly prized by Lcsslng. Its keynote was a concession that there must bo dlffeienccs among men and that each man must have a right to decide for himself In what words he would clothe the fundamental nnd serious thoughts of his heart. Tbo.height of liberalism In those days was to allow the Christian to be n Christian and the Jew to bo a Jew. Liut In this day no word Is more offensive than "tolerance , "toleration. " To allow n Jew to bo a Jew In a sntrlt of toler.Ulon IB an Insult to the Jew und u slap at the spirit of the age. The Jew Is not so inferior , not such a nuisance , that ho needs to bo toler ated. Wo have left behind the Eighteenth century nnd 'Its philosophy. We do not merely lot a Christian be a Chrlalan and a Jew be a Jew : we demand that the Jew shall be a Jew and the Christian be a Chris tian. tian.The The second sten was the liberalism of In- dlflcrenco. This followed Immediately upon the period of Lesslng and Mendelssohn known In Germany as "the period of il lumination. " Thpso. who professed Indiffer ence misunderstood the 'purposeA > f religion in the economy of mankind and the govern ment of affairs. For these Illuminated "men religion was but a sort ot modified police baton , a more merciful substitute for the bayonet , or a toy of the nursery , for weak women and children. Learned men could walk : what need had they of crutches ? So out ot their natural goodness they would let fauch as needed It have the toy or dally with the crutches. Thev would not tear down the churches nor tear un the Illble It was not worth while to do this. They were1 so Indifferent that they would not waste effort In the destruction of religion Another pbazo manifested Itself In th thought that all religions are of equal value , because ull were , fundamentally , frauds. It is not an encouraging sign of liberal progress that Robert G. Ingersoll still finds full houses and a icmuneratlve occupation In rehearsing merely threadbare liberal ism of Indifference. No religion Is counter- felt ; HOMO is Hiiprious. Religions are not all equal , but every religion Is an echo of n deeply seated human need , an outgrowth ot historical factors nnd forces. I.tlicrnllfliu ill Crltli'lnin. Then wo have' the liberalism of critics. The critic Is a pioneer and a pioneer Is one who goes ahead of the farmer , ahead of the architect qt cities and tbo builders of expo sitions. He wields an axe and cuts away the Jungle and clears away the forest. Hut criticism Is never constructive. To properly criticise , one must know the language of the Bible. It Is the height of folly for church eouncllrt and representative bodies whoso members know as much ot the Hebrew al phabet as I do of Chinese to Bit in Judg- ncnt over n professor of Hebrew nnd to say to him that his grammar must con- 'orm to the Ignorance of his Judges. Re ligion Is not a question of grammar. He who Is no more than a Bible critic is still a stranger In the ante-chamber , of religious truth. Again , that critical liberalism which con cerns Itself with merely denying dogmas Is not consecrated to the bplrlt of the newer liberalism. H Is easy to deny Gocl and In spiration. There Is much cry lor "freo thought , " little understanding that It must be "clear thought. " Ho considered n bond of fellowship based e upon a mere denial of the doctrine of atone ment ami a rejection of that of total de pravity a "rope of sand. " The modern liberal had more Important work In hand. Ho wanted alsoluto freedom of Inquiry nnd the right to constantly explore truth not to be compelled to accept as linal the dogmas ! of the Nlceno council or the synod of Jerusalem In the time of Ezra. Ho depre cated the religion which stops nt Sunday and has no jmrt In business affairs , and I feared the commercial spirit would oven show Itself in the present negotiations arls- Ing out of the war with Spain. Also with 1 some eatlre he said that he did not place much confidence In a religion which would have God enthroned by a constitutional amendment , "as though He had ever ceased to rclen. " Finally he explained that the liberalism of the present wag ot a truly sociological character , not theological , be lieving In the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. This morning Rev. Jcnkln Lloyd Jones will discuis the problems ot the congress ; Rev. J. H. Palmer of Cedar Rapids , la. , the feasibility ot state organization , and Rev , Isldoio Lewlnthal of Nashville , Term. , the results of oue year after the Nashville con gress.

With thn close of the speaking , the band played n couple of selections and the crowd dispersed through the big buildings.

Audience nt tliu Aiiilltiirliim Shown KM Appreciation of tinHand. . There waa a remarkable scene In the Au ditorium last night during the progress of the concert bv Innes' band. A program had been arranged with especial reference to the Continuation of the German day exercises. Thq Auditorium was packed to Its utmost capacity when the band played the over ture from "Tannhauser" for the opening number. This was followed by the custo mary encore , but before the xecond number was started there was a cry of "Anvil Chorus. " This slogan was taken up and soon the vast assemblage was unanimous In demanding the "Anvil Chorus , " the calf be ing Interspersed with demands for limes. The popular bandmaster boned nnd smiled his thanks , but eould not be heard In the tumult. After a short consultation with Manager LlmlBcy of the executive commit tee , who was present , Mr. limes abandoned his carefully planned program and hastily arranged to produce the "Anvil Chorus" with the electrical effects. After this had been gl\en the band played "Star Spangled Hnnner" for an cncoro number and the wild est demonstaratlon the Auditorium has yet seen followed. For fulfy five minutes thu building rang and reverberated with the cheers of the people. It was as fervent nn outburst of patriotic enthusiasm and pop ular endorsement of a great musical organi sation as was ever seen. Mr. Innes finished the evening with selections from tils' original piogrom. Innes Is busy these days with preparation for the first production of his new composi tion , which Is to bo given for the first time next Saturday nlglit and which Is entitled "A Trio to 'the ' Omaha Exposition. " This work. It Is said , will not only describe mu sically the rldo to the grounds , the gondolc rldo and the nations as typified by theli Biveral exhibits In the International build ing , hut wllf faithfully describe In appro- nrlato melodies nnd queer harmonies the wrlrd manifestations as witnessed on a toui of the Mldnay. Innes' musicians have foi some time past been practicing up on Chi nese oboes and Egyptian lutes and It Is ru mored that Innes has arranged with tw or three "spielers" to Join In the productlor to add to the realism.

Over at the Horticultural building every thing Is in readiness for the Nebraska Appl day , which will be observed this mornliifi prior to the holding of the regular Nebrask day exercised Flvo hundred bushels o apples came In yesterday from the orchard of the state' and Were packed away In bar rels in convenient : ilncps In and nbout th Nebraska face. The fitilt consists of dozen different varieties and Is as fine a anything heretofore seen In the building. Last night the apples were piled high o the tables of the Nebraska space and as th visitors pass through tbo building today al will bd .iwindnntly suiiplUd. ; It ls'belrcfe ! that the apples'which have been receive : will bo sufficient to supply the crowd , bu If they should not the exhibit , which con tains nearly 100 bushels , will be robbed. Idaho's carload of fruit was placed on ex hlbitlon yesterday by Superintendent Dris coll. He was crannied for room , but b doubling up his tables 'and piling fruit o them until It nearly roa'ched the celling h managed to get the most of It In place. I addition to the fruit he received a larg supply of vegetables of all varieties. Thes he put In the aisles In great heaps nnd unde the tables. Senator Dunlap , president of the Illlnol Stcto Horticultural society , has sent on t Superintendent Stauton something like flft bushels of pears for exhibition. He has sen fruit that has been sprayed and also ths has not been treated. The fruit that ha been treated with the spraying fluid is per feet , large and free from the effects of th work of insects , while that that was allowu to grow without any treatment Is almo : worthlcbs. This feature proves of great In It-rest to the local horticulturists , wh ! have all been bothered more or less wit the fruit pests. Taking the exhibit In the Horticulturi building as a whole It la much larger an liner than at any \\rne \ \ since the opening da of the exposition. Moro varieties arc beln shown and larger quantities of choice frui are on exhibition. AVI 1.1. .SUM. AM. Till : IllTIIiDI.VCi ! Ilri'or Authorize i\eentl\e Coin in I dec to IIIxitoNe of the Property.
