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

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

five private schools , which educate 360,000

"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.

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 <

that It Is simply because It has nut bcei

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

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

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

women in the world. I was so weak nnd nervous thnt I
thought I could not live from one day to the next. I had
falling of the womb nnd Icucorrhcca , and thought I was go
ing1 into consumption. I had dragging pains in my
baek , burning sensation down to my feet , nnd so many
miserable feelings. People said Unit 1 looked like
n dead woman. Doctors tried to cure me but
failed. I had given up when I heard of your
medicine. I got a bottle. I did not have much
faith in it but thought I would try it , and it
made a new woman of me. I wish I could
get every lady in the land to try it , for it
did for me what doctors could not do. V
