vtnlt hire lit this time Is In the Interest
of the college. An opportunity baa been
prrpuited whereby the college may have
Its endowment Increased by $100,000 Chi-

ing the second halt of the dcalred Bum.
The nlutnnl of the college Includes * num
ber of residents of this city , among them
being the pastor of the Central church U
Is umnnK these , as well ns among members
and frlcndH of the United Presbyterian
rhuioh , that. Dr Lyons hopes to secure a
part of the fund he Is striving to accumu
late
A fnir audience greeted Ir Lyons yes-
tcrday morning and ho preached a sermon
of deep thought , leading up to the riues-
tlon of college work Ills thought was that
the essence of life was chnr.irtcr , and wlth-
out thiractcr llfo Is a falluru The Chris
tian rollego moulds not only the mind , but
the haracter of the young men and women
who peck to Improve their mental and spir
itual welfare within its walls.
I li.uo come that they might have life
and have It moro abundantly , " was the text
nrmmd which the thread of the discourse
WHS woven.
' Spiritual life docs not consist nf out
ward things , but of inward character , " said
Dr Lyons. "Tow know what Is spiritual
liftTlio beggar In the street may have
moro nf spliltual life thin the occupant
of the mansion , who possessors the material
things of life. Character consists of the
power to BCD the things of fed ! The mil
lionaire may have the magnificent gallery
of pictures , but the poor boy from the street
may steal through the gallery and derive
all the pleasure from the works of art. The
owner has only the things of life , while
the boy has the soul which enables him
to see their beauties.
Llfo must consist of the qualities of your
Mini and of your goodness. You may adopt
a poor child , furnish it a homo and give it
clothing and food , but you do not give It
thirafler. God adopts us that wo may
have Ills character and out of this comes
the blessings which fall upon the family
of Rod. Ho gives us llfo and gives it
abundantly as no emulate Ills character.
"You have a library In this city which Is
n credit and an honor to your citizens , yet
there are many who cannot read , who can
not comprehend a thought. What an en
Inrgemont of life it would be It wo could
lift them up to comprehend these things.
That Is what Christ Is doing Ho Is lifting
us up that wo may comprehend God. Ho
fceeks to open our eyes to another world. "
Dr Lyons then took up the point that
Christian colleges arc engaged in opening
the eyes of young men and women of the
world to Christ. Thus the mission which
brought him to this city was one for Christ
and the church , and not for earthly cor
poration. Ho explained the opportunity
now before the college and the great need
of Its success It was supremely essential
that the endowment of the college bo In-
< reascd , or Its work would bo seriously cur
tailed
At the conclusion of the sermon It was
announced there would bo n meeting of
the former students of the college , friends
of the Institution and membois of the
church at the auditorium of the Young
Men's Christian association this morning
for a conference with Dr. Lyons on the
subject of. the college endowment.

Hov Andrew Christy Brown declared from
his pulpit in the Knox Presbyterian church
jOFU > rclay morning that the giddy Midway
of the oxposltlon last year did Incalculable
dimngo to thonpliltual llfo of Omaha , from
which the churches have not yet fully re
covered. Ho found occasion for making this
thai go In the fact that the anninl report of
the church , which wan submitted to the
congiegatlon , showed that the congregation
has been at a standstill and has even de
teriorated a bit In point of numbers during
tlio last year.
"I find that the same complaint coraei
ifroni other churches In the city , " said Rev
CMr Drown. "I do not want to disparage
the expohltlon , which was doubtle s a mag-
nlllcent success from a scientific point of
view , but the Midway had a deadly Inlluanco
upon the churchiu. It was blatant and

pin abhor The Midway hn told to n
grievous degree upon the spiritual lift of
Umnhn
To a leaser degree , continual the prMChcr ,
the exposition worked agnlnat the churches
In other nay * It brought a nhlftlng and
nnntablo population and many people haJ
to stay at home to care for the horde of
vhltlnK relatives and friends who rolled In
upon them or to look after lodgere There
wore otlipr loeal causis that tended to de
crease the attendance at hU church , the
pnntor admitted , but those growing out ( it
thu exposition were the most effective Ho
declared that the church IB slowly reooxer-
Ing from the stagnation , and he believed
that the turning point has come He there
fore took occasion to point out to hl con
gregation the way the ) could transform
their church Into an Ideal church
He said that some rhurches are formed to
reach the rich , the high , the cultured , otherw
to reach the poor , thedletrefeed nnd the
lowly , still others to roach the rich and the
poor , the learned nnd the unlearned , the
high and the low To become Ideal , a church
must he of the latter clnis. It must also
keep abreast of the times even ahead of
them If It lined the appllanccA in vogue
fifty years ago It would be ns much of a
failure as the farmer who employwj the
utcn lls of n half a century ago. It must
bavo the simple gospel preached from the
pulpit and the pew. The congregation shoul 1
not come to hear a "strong" sermon , but
the simple word of God. Jesus , In his day ,
did not go Into philosophy , but applied the
simple tenets of Christianity.
The paotor , however , laid eflpeclal stress
upon the responsibility that rists upon the
congregation to form an Ideal church. Such
a church cannot bo made up of people who
come to church only to show and wear their
Sunday clothes , nor of people who come to
church from their Sunday newspaper , Instead
of from their knees at home No minister
under the sun , ho declared , can build up n
church when he Is loaded down with "dead"
people , who expect him to do nil the woik.
Ho Insisted that upon each member of the
congregation rents a responsibility of carryIng -
Ing on the work. Instead of "workers" who
work , nnd "Jerkcrs" who work now and
again shirk , and "shirkers" who shirk nil
the tlmo , the church must bo made up of
excluslxely the former. Then convorMons
will flow In Without conversions , tlic
preacher assorted , all churches arc failures
Although Uev ( Mr Urown took n rather
dismal view of the spiritual progress made
by his church during the last year , he found
much encouragement In the financial ro-
port. The gifts for congregational purposes
during the year amounted to $4,026 , of which
ll.CGt had been expended In remodelling the
church edifice The gifts to the various
boards and charity aggregated $177 , bring
ing the total contributions to $3.502. This
Is the largest contribution in the history ot
the church , the highest figure reached In
the past being $3,643 , In 1897. The Increase
over last year was $ L1CS.

A largo congregation listened to an able
dissertation on the "Different Schools ot
Thought" by Dean Pair iat Trinity episcopal
catliedrar Sunday morning. The sermon was
preceded by sotno good music by the excel
lent choir.
Dean Fair chose First Corinthians ,
xll 4-R-6 , for his text , the central thought
that ono Lord reigns through all being em
phasized In hie reading. In opening his dis
course ho said variety is not confusion ; di
versity Is not disunion. One enters n par
lor nnd finds It furnUhed with numerous
pieces of furniture. Ho goes into the other
rooms and finds them filled with different
articles There Is a varletj , but nothing In
congruous ; it is one home. Ho goes Into a
gaiden and finds different kinds of flowers
growing there. They are not Inharmonious-
there' IB no disunion. He said he watched
a review of 30,000 foreign soldiers once The
uniforms were varied In their colors , but
the troops moved in accord. In chinch cli-
cles ono finds a diversity of opinions. He
was sorry It was so , and he lioped the ( line
would come when the dlvergenco would not
bo o great.
The speaker said his subject might be di
vided Into four parts. From his , standpoint
there are four different kinds of churchmen ,
the broad , high , low and ritualistic. He con
sidered the broad an unfortunate title and
referred to Matthew \ll-13 , "For wide is the
gate and broad is the way that leadeth to
destruction , ' as an Illustration of his reason-
Ing. Ho said the broad churchman goes be
yond bounds and stands out pre-eminently
for God a-ad the world The high churchman
bases his belief on God alone. The low
churchman laya emphasis on individuality
and the ritualist devotes himself to God
and worship.
Dean Fair thoucht die beet way to illus
trate his division of hU subject was by com
parison and he offered the following for the
consideration of his auditors The broad
churchman discusses the vvoild's greatest
problems The high churchman believes In
his church and its divine mission , The low
churchman iooki , to the bible and Its In
spirations , while the iltuallstlc devotee
bases his argument on the altar and upon
sacrifice1.
In his second comparison ho said the
broad churchman believes In human organi-
7iUlons nnd his high brother in divine sacra
ment. The low churchman looks to the
preaching In the pulpit for his Inspiration
and the ritualistic follower thinks the priest
Is absolute
Still another comparison was that the
broad churchman looks to Intellectual wis
dom for a solution of the woild's problems.
The high churchman places moro faith In
spiritual Inspiration The low churchman
believes in personal experience nnd the
ritualistic upholder gives ecclesiastical dis
cipline his support
In the speaker's estimation the world
needs greater comprehensiveness. H should
look to the word of God as authority. Noth
ing God has permitted should be loft out
of Ills belief He should take all ns It Is.
Ho ought not to make his own blblo , but
give strict , loyal , faithful obedience to con
stituted authority , Ho said each should ex-
amlno his own hcoit. Ho should look to
the cross of Calvary and upon the death of
the Lord Jesus Christ for the atonement
of his sins. That thought alone , he urged ,
should stand out pre-eminent In all belief.

The personality of Christ was the topic
of the morning dlscourso by Rev Howard
Mac \jeal at I'lv month Congregational
I church His remarks were based on tlio
scriptural passage which declares that
"Christ is wonderful" and he briefly cited
6ome of the reasons why this declaration la
literally true.
The first remarkable characteristic ol
Christ that the speakei emphasized was the
fact that there wore exhibited In Him the
peculiar attributes both of a man nnd of a
Cod He received from His fellow men
that which gave Him sorrow and returned
to them that which gave them the highest
Joy He was In every respect a man like
| unto other men. but Ho also displayed all
the characteristics that belong to God
Ilov MacA > eal also declared that Christ
was wonderful because He combined botli
masculine nnd feminine tralta of character
That Ho should be a man was natural but
it was also essential that He should have
those qualities that would bring to Him the
phlld and the woman This remarkable
feature of His life predicate ! the fact thai
in the final redemption there will bo nelthoi
wale nor female , for all shall be one In
Christ JesiiB ,
Continuing , the speaker called attention
to three striking characteristics of the Sa
vior as Illustrating each aide of His dual
cturader HU moat prominent masculins
train , nero the Inspiration of a mighty pur
pose , great fortitude and wonderful repoi ?
Ho set before the world the greatest prln-
ilplo that was ever enunciated and He did
It with a fortitude that nothing could dis
turb His mental poise was a distinctive
element of ninscullne greatnets The utate-
tnent was made that future generations will
agree that the greatness of William McKln-
le > consists In the calm poise of his char
acter During the last few months the
administration has teen vigorously assailed ,
but this calm and h rolc figure has stood
unmoved through all the factional strife and
clamor
Gentleness , tact and s > mpath > were the
feminine characteristics that the. speaker
considered most notable In the personality
of Christ. Ho possessed these attributes ns
no woman has ever possessed them and he
referred to a number of the familiar Inci
dents In His llfo to show how frequently
these traits had been exhibited
Another wonderful chaiacterlstlc of Christ
was the fact that , though by birth and
training He was n Jew and a provincial , His
after llfo was not what wo would expect
from such a source Ho also possessed the
peculiar combination of purity and right
eousness with perfect s > mpath > and helpful
ness for sinners In this there IH a lesson
to bo learned by the modern Christians As
men grow In outward propriety and In con
formity to certain standards they seem to
become harder and lacking In sympathy with
the sins and failures ot their fellow men.
When nilrnbcth vvas at the height of her
religious fervor the heads ot martyrs were
hung upon the Tower and when the Pu
ritans wore so eminently observant of the
faith that they considered It almost a sin
to cat an apple on the Sabbath , they were
cropping men's ears and banishing Hoger
Williams The same tendency continues to
bo apparent , and In conclusion the speaker
utged his hearers to study more closely the
personality of Christ as a model after which
to pattern their own service.

The tobacco habit received some sledge
hammer blows at the hands of Hev. C. W.
Savldgo last evening at the People's church.
Ho gave seven icasons for his attack on
"tho filthy weed , " as follows The wisest
nnd best men speak against its use ; to
bacco Is uncleanly , It is expensive , It Is
nn awful tyrant ; It is a fruitful mother ot
disease , It seriously affects the health ot
the ono who uses It , and it Is a sin against
God.
God.n.ach
n.ach of these points was proven by facts
presented by Mr. Savidgo. Franklin , Oree-
le > \ Jefferson and Webster all spoke against
tobacco The fllthlness of the weed is wit
nessed overj where. In our own country v\o
burn up more than $100.000,000 annually for
cigars alone. The pcoplo of the United
States pay out for tobacco in all its forms
$700,000,000 every year. The t > ranny ot to
bacco is known to everybody ; it makes
slaves of millions and millions. Distin
guished authorities were cited to show that
tobacco is poisonous and productive of dis
ease. A plug of a certain kind of chewing
tobacco contains 380 grains of nicotine ,
enough to kill 200 mon. General Grant
feascd smoking too late. Captain Hart of
Minnesota died of cancer produced by to
bacco So did Captain Cook of Nebraska.
William S. Sebring died from tobacco in
Omaha in 1897. Shortly before his death
he wrote a warning to his old comrades to
abandon the tobacco habit. Dr. Mathewson
was quoted as sajlns that to tobacco and
whisky can be traced seven-tenths of the
cases of insanity. Dr. Kerlin , in charge
of the largest asylum in the world for the
feeble-minded , sajs that "by far the greatest
proportion of the Inmates of that Institution
are children of men who are tobacco users. "
The conclusion drawn by Mr. Savldge from
these facts Is that the use of tobacco is a
sin. Ho urged all tobacco users to stop
the vile habit and advised the non-usors
never to acquire it.

"When the apostle , Paul , wrote the words ,
'the husband Is head ot the wife , ' he did
not mean that the wife Is to be a slave or
treated like one , " remarked Ilov. C. B
Allen , pastor of the Beth-I3den Baptist
chinch , yesterday morning "However , when
Paul wrote this sentence existing conditions
wcro different from those of the present
time. Then the husband was the master
and the wife was merely a slave , doing
every duty required of her. She was re
garded as a piece of property and frequently
disposed of like any other article of furniture
In the house. The husband could sell her
or dispose of her in nny manner that pleased
his fancy , and In some Instances he was at
liberty to kill her if he felt so disposed.
"In this dny and age ot the world the
husband Is not always supreme , and I can
call to mind cases where certain wives have
more sense than their husbands will ever
have ,
"Paul declares that the husband is head
of the wife , and the terra may be used much
In the same manner us tha expression that
'Christ is head of the church , ' and in this
connection It seems to me , first of all , that
headship means excellence and moral in
fluence. In this connection man's headship
should bo ono of great moral power ; man
should bo such a manly man as to command
the respect and esteem of his wife , for it
la a fact that no man can afford to be any
thing but a manly man. Ho. should be such
a man that his wife can look up to him as
a guide to holy living ,
"I have no sympathy with the statement
frequently made that religion is only for
women and children ; I have no sympathy
with the statement eo often given publicity
that 'I look after the business and my wife
looks after the religion , ' The wife has a
divine right to look up to the husband as an
assistant In the religious training of the
ohlldrim , as God places at least a portion of
this rcsponfalblllty upon him. In early days
the entire responsibility for the moral and
religion * training of the children was placed
upon the husband , but now there are many
fathers and husbands who seek to shirk this
responsibility by saying : 'I am not a Chris
tian. ' If men are not Christians they ought
to bo ; it Is to a man's everlasting folly and
shumo that he Is not a Christian ; there Is
no way by which he can Justify himself and
the guilt tg „ ] ) the greater If he Is not a
follower of Chrl t
"Tho words of Paul do not enjoin upon
man to command hla wife , but rather , they
Imply that he should love her It la by love
that Christ rules the church and It U by
love that man should rule his wife Love
< the tie that binds man to his wife and
this tie should be the prime consideration
In the famlls There may lx > other consider
ations , but they are all secondarj I believe
that n majority of families arc happy ones ,
1 believe a majority of marriages nro happy
ones , I believe a majority of homes are
happy ones. Hut of the e wo hear nothing
Instead , If there Is an unhappy homo every
person in the block knows of it and hears
of It"
Speaking of the duties of husbands , Rev.
Mr. Allen said "They should provide for
the support of their wives and families and
do It in a kind nnd loving spirit There are
many wives in Omaha todaj who are not
treated with as much consideration as the
servants In the kitchen. The servants receive
their stipends for performing their labors ,
and If they happen to prepare some dainty
cllsh for the table they nro complimented
nnd receive the thanks of tholr cmplojor
Hut with the wife , In many instances , it Is
quite the rev emu She may toll and slave
and dig nnd yet there are caeca where she
Is treated worse than the pot dog. If she
asks for a little money the husband goes
down into his pocket , ibrlngs up a dollar ana
pacslng it over , cautions her to return the
change after purchasing the cheap gown
"H Is by no means unman ! } for a man
to confess that ho loves his wife. Ho told
her so twenty years ago , before they were
married , but that Is not enough , she should
bo told of It oftener and assured that he
has Ob much love for her na on the day when
they stood nt the altar , when ho promised
before God to love , cherish nnd care for her
so long ns life continued. It IK true that
many husbands appreciate their wives , but
they fall to do the thousands of little things
that would make them and their homes
happy. "
