THE OMAHA DAILY NEE: MONDAY, OCTOUETt 0, 1002. Ave In South Omiha and ten in Council Bluffs yesterdsy morning and test evening. At every service the congregation eom r'etely filled tbe auditorium and la some tares late-comer were unablo to get within the. church doors. Fully 1.000 people who were unable to enter tbe Collaoura in the afternoon partici pated In an open air meeting, which in addressed by Revs. T. 1. Lake, D. A. Cola, W. J. Lyman and A. W. Morrlion. At t. Mary's Aveaae Chart-a. "It li' easy to see that faith Is not doc trinal, but personal. I believe that a man mar be a Calvlnlst, a Vnlversallst or of Syrian faith and he a Christian; that ha mar bo speculatively heterodox, theoretic ally orthodox, be "off" In his 'upper story" and yet be all right here." And Rev. B. B. Tylrr laid his hand upon his heart to make plain the significance of his last word. Ha was preaching at the Bt. Mary's Avenue Congregational church Sunday morning on "The Christian Religion," when he gave utterance to this sentiment. ' He Is among the eminent divlnea now at tending the International convention of the Plsclples of Christ, and had been assigned thla pulpit. The pastor gave the Denver visitor, with whom M has some Indirect acquaintance by reason of the latter being president of the International Sunday School association and of having founded the work of the Christian church In Omaha twenty-four years ago, a most friendly In troduction to a congregation that filled very pew In the large auditorium and all the chairs that had been placed In the rear. Excerpts taken at random from bis ser mon are thse: "Our sources of Information concerning he Christian religion are twenty-seven Doom eta and tracts, absolutely unique In the literature of the world, that are now bound together and named the New Testa ment. "The Christian religion began with one Jesus, called the Christ. I do not say that religion began with him. Religion waa be fore Jesus; It Is where His name has never been pronounced. But the Christian re ligion Is the only one known among mon that baa a connection with life not ruling out our Hebrew brothers, who study from the same old book. A man who professes to be Christian and doesn't lead a clean life Is either deceived or an arrant hypo crite. There is. remember, alwaya a dis tinction between being a church member and being a Christian. There la danger of making too much of ordinances, and there Is danger of making too little, but there la thla fundamental doctrine that Christ Is the Eon of Ood. So long as we hold onto that the church is pretty safe. When we get away from It the Lord only knowa where we will go. I care not what your denomination may be if you are a Christian you say, I believe that Christ Is the Son of the Living Ood.' Just as democrats, pop ulists, republicans, prohibitionists, all sub scribe to that political creed that men are born equal and endowed with certain In alienable rights. "Jesus waa the original democrat but lth a small d. He made himself the friend of the people, not for power, not for pelf, but because he knew man and loved man." aieaaroaa at riiwt Con;reaHonaI.

MOTT'S APPEAL BRINGS MONEY Omaha - Mrs fledse Themselves to ftapport Mlsafoaarjr la the Aalatlo Field. Aa a material result of the young men's meeting at the First Methodist Episcopal church 8unday afternoon $1,167.21 was con tributed In cash or pledges for the purpose of sending a missionary to represent Omaha In the work of the Young Men's Christian association in the Asiatic field. The fea ture ot tho meeting was an address by John R. Mott, International secretary of the Young Men s Christian association, who was presented as coming from New York, but who is a native ot Iowa and who. In the course of his work In the interest of the association has traveled three times around the world. With Mr. Mott on the platform sat Fred L. Willis, general secretary of th local Young Men Christian association, who conducted the exercises; Isaac Carpenter, president of the local association, and George F. Ollmore, chairman of tbe com mittee in charge of mission wjrk. and Rev. Dr. Yost, pastor of St. Mary's Avenue Con gregational church. Although the audience conslated entirely of men, tbe church was crowded beyond Its seating capacity and It is estimated that more than 1,200 were present. After tbe assemblage had united In sing ing "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" In a mighty male chorus that was truly inspiring and prayer had been offered by Rev. Dr. Yost, the Young Men's Christian Association quartet aang "Hock of Ages." Mr. Willis then Introduced Mr. Mott, who spoke of the great need of missionary work In all parts of Asia among the young men, of the work that baa been done by tho Young Men'a Christian association and Of the general situation In that continent as he had seen it. While the facts In them selves as presented by the speaker were startling and bia manner of presenting mem was earnest it waa devoid of sensa tionalism. : In Introducing the subject Mr. Mott said that the greatest theater of the Twentieth century would be Asia, and In that contl nent there were three principal nations which would chap Ua character and ita destiny. First of these, he mentioned India as that which be had found moat Inter esting because most mysterious; Japan, he sold, had Impressed him aa the most brll llant of the nations ot that world, a coun try which had accomplished more in the way of progress In one century than any other had In three centurlea, a country which had been going to school to all of the others and learning from each of them. China he regarded aa the strongest coun try ot that world not because of Its num bers, although In that respect It certainly did lead, but because of the strength of Its people, who poasessed those characteristic which had ever marked the successful na tions of tbe world. The Chinese, he said, were patient, frugal, Industrious and Inde pendent, and the world' history showed those to be the qualities of the great na tion. The future ot these countries, he said, would be determined by their young men, and as the young man ahould go. ao would go the nations. There were In the Levant, he said, 10,000,000 young men; In the East Indies,' some 30,000,000 more; in Japan, 10,000.000, with 8,000.000 more In Formosa, and1 In China and ita dependencies, 80,000, 000. He spoke of the temptation of the ycung men of those countries toward vice ot all kinds, declaring that In comparison the people of the Christian countries did not realize what temptation was. He spoke of gambling in China aa a national vice and ot the great prevalence of Intemperance In the use of liquor, and particularly ot opium. In that country. It had been estimated by some ot the more conservative statisticians that 15 per cent of the young men In China were addicted to the opium habit, and tome placed It at high aa 25 per cent. ' Of Japan, be said that In no other country ot the entire world waa the vice of social Impurity made so attractive, so economical In practioe or so prevalent. He had been told that in the language ot that country there were 4.000 words expressive of tbe lower vice and parelona, and but a small vocabulary to express the higher virtues. The speaker said that tho church mis sionaries In the Asiatic countrlea had ap pealed to the Young Men'a Christian asso ciation aome year ago to send secretaries to establish branches of the association, and in the last fifteen years thirty-one ot these secretaries had been sent out and S00 Young Men' Christian asaoclatloqs had been established. It had been found beat to use nstive missionaries for a greater part of the work among the people, but missionaries must be sent from the Chris tian countries to organize the work and conduct it. The international association, he aald, wished to send out ten men this coming year one to Havana, one to Ma nila, one more to Japan, an assistant to the secretary now at Shanghai, two other to ether parts of China and others aa might be found most expedient. He urged the men ot Omaha to undertake tbe expenses of one of these men, which would amount to about $2,000 year, aud suid that that man would directly repreaent tho city ot Omaha la th field. Cards for pledges were circulated at the close ot his address, with the result stated. PROGRAM OF NOON MEETINGS Swrakera ss Topics to Be Hear at Chrlatlaa Avsoelatloa Rooms This Week.

Hi BU THINKS REPUBLIC IS PUNY Freiident of Havana TJniveriitj Openly Advocates Annexation. LABORERS 00 NOT LIKE NEW GOVERNMENT Men Employed on Manlrlpal Work Have Vaes Hrdaced and Are Forced to Walt for Their ray. (From Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. (Special.) A recent dispatch from Havana ssys that Dr. Jose Varela-Zequtera, president of the Uni versity ot Havana, In opening the university for the winter session, created a profound impression and aroused the local political clrclea of Cuba through bis address. The cause of all the excitement was the fact that the president of the principal educa tlonal institution of Cuba does not appear to think that the republic is to be a lasting one. According to the dispatch, Dr. Varel' Zequicra spoke two hours on the subject "Cuba; Yesterday. Today, Tomorrow." He said that the hand of destiny point to the eventful welcome of Cuba into tbe family ot free and sovereign states forming the great American union. In the course of his speech the doctor denounced those who would foment protest against the "Piatt amendment at this late day as enemies of the new republlo and the constitution. The question for Cubans to decide, according to Dr. Yarela-Zequlera, Is "Shall Cuba Become as Great as Texas, or Insignificant aa Ha wall?" Dr. Varela-Zequlera is not the only man with knowledge of Cuban affairs who lias recently expressed himself as firmly be ilevtng that the day Is not far distant when Cuba will ask the United States to again intercede, and this time not to aid It to fight a foreign foe, but to protect the peo ple from themselves. Flrat Is Last. The first American to be appointed to a civil position in Cuba,' and about tbe last American civilian employe to leave the Island, was Major George M. Barbour, formerly a resident of western New York. Major Barbour waa appointed by General Shatter to supervise the cleansing of the city of Santiago on the day following the surrender ot General Toral. That he per formed bis work well is attested by tbe fact that not a single case ot yellow fever has been reported from "the filthiest city in Cuba" for upwards of three years. Ever Since July, 1S98, Major Barbour haa been In practically supreme control ot the sani tation, paving and sewering of Santiago. During tbe greater portion of tbe last five years he haa had something ' like 2,000 Cubans In his employ. Speaking of the future of Cuba, Major Barbour aald: "I assert from the knowl edge I have acquired of the Cuban people that there are not to exceed 6,000 men in the whole island who are not earnestly and heartily in favor of annexation to the United States. Tho 6,000 opponents of union are politicians who hope for office under the republic. Since it haa become known that Senator Elklns of Virginia and Representative Newlands of Nevada have advocated inviting tbe republlo of Cuba to come into the union they are the most popular Americana known there. The com mon people ot the Island those who must work for a living fall to see how they will be benefited by the tariff concessions advo cated by President Roosevelt. Most of the sugar lands are owned by Spaniards, Ger mans, English and Americans and very few acres by tbe Cubana themselves. The people naturally believe that a lower tariff In America will benefit these foreign owners without correspondingly adding to their individual welfare. On the other hand, they lived for four year under th American flag and prospered aa they never did be fore. Laborers Staont for America. "As soon as the municipal affairs of Santiago were turned over to the local au thorities the trouble began. Instead of tbe prompt payment of fair wages to the em ployes ot the sanitary department their pay waa reduced, and worse than that It waa withheld. Since I came to Washington I have been advised that the cmployea of my department tore down the Cuban flag from above their quarters and hoisted Instead the Stars and Stripes. They are ahoutlng tor America and cursing 'Cuba llbre.' The city employes ot Santiago have learned that there is something behind the flag of America and they want that flag aa their emblem again. I am firmly of the belief," concluded Major Barbcur, "that It steps are not promptly taken to Invite the repub llo to Join the sisterhood of states there will be another revolution within a year and that tbe Intervention of the United States will again become an Imperative necessity." . It was well understood among hia friends when Charles S. Francis waa first appointed United StaU minister to Greece that he did not Intend to adopt a diplomatic career as his life work. He succeeded hit father, the late Hon. John M. Francis, aa edlton and proprietor ot the Troy (N. Y.) Time and be had a natural desire to occupy the same diplomatic post which bis father to ably filled thirty yeara ago. Mr. Franclt was appointed minister to Greece, Rou mania and Servia by President McKlnley tome three yeara ago. He bat resigned. Profera Xewapayer Career. The announcement of hia resignation caused no surprise among those who know him, for Mr. Francis Is devoted to bit newtpaper property and ia anxious to re turn to the congenial work which he left to represent his country In the historic city of Athens. He spent July In the United Statea and It la generally understood that h would have resigned before returning to Greece but for the desire ot the president that he remain for tome time at least at bis poet. H will come back to tbe United Statea within a few weeka and will for mally vacate his position on December 10. Although his dlplomatlo career haa been a brief one Charles 8. Francis has made a reputation for himself which will continue to redound to hi credit. He hss accom plished In a very brief time what the Stato department baa been trying to get for years, namely, extradition treaties with two of the three kingdoms to which he waa accredited. Beside he haa cemented the friendship between thia republic and the kingdom of Greece In auch a manner aa to assure lasting friendly relations. Th king and the United Statea minister are on in timate terma and, what la better, they both demonstrate at every poasibl opportunity that the visiting American ia aure of a cordial greeting In Athens. American naval officers, especially, will regret that Mr. Francis haa resigned, and American travelers will miss the cordial, kindly greeting in Athens, which has made tbe American legation there the most popular diplomatic calling place In all Europe dur ing tbe Incumbency of the Hon. Charlea 8. Francis. ARMY OF STUDENTS GROWS Eaaeattea Report thaws Rapid la. croaa la Paplls asd Moaey peat aa Them. f WASHINGTON.
