"A History of Nebraska Methodism, First Half Century, 1364-ISM," by Rev. David Marquette, D. D., la a valuable addition to tbe literature of Nebraska Methodism. The Btate Methodist Historical society made no mistake when It placed the prep aration of this work In the hands of Kev, David Marquette. Himself a pioneer hero; his heart full of the memories and experi ences of those days and overflowing with the victories achieved; honest. In earnest and capable. Truly no one possessed more actual fitness for carrying- the work to suc cessful completion than Dr. Marquette. The author has divided tthe work Into, periods and produced a volume that Meth odist or non-M.thodlt can 111 afford to wise reading. 8r'Cuklng.of what Methodists have accomplished Dr. Marquette quotes the American' historian, Bancroft:' "The Methodtifts wero the pioneers of religion.' The breath of liberty has wafted their message to the masses of the people; en cnuraved them to collect white and black In church and greensward for council in Divine love and full assurance of faith, and carried their consolations and songs and prayers to the farthest cabin of the wil derness." The author says the Rev. Harrison Pres sors who Is still an honored superannuated member of the Nebraska, conference, In formed blm that "on April 21, 1860, he. In company with a large colony on their way to the Jnoflc coast, camped over the Bab . bath, on what la now the site Of Omaha, and that he preached a sermon that day from the text, Isaiah xxxv:l." This was doubtless the first sermon preached in Ne braska, Bo Omaha has the honor of the first sermon, even though the first Meth odist church was built at Nebraska' City In 1865-4. The reader has the pleasure of viewing a picture of this church; also the first one built In Lincoln and a sod church built at Tyrone, Red Willow county. In 1888. ' While Omaha had a Methodist sermon In 1850, and there were in all probability sub sequent ones, yet Rev, W. H. Ooode, p. D., of the Indiana conference was the first to be placed in official relation, by the author ity of the Methodist church, to the work . In. Nebraska. ' ' '-: : .' ' " In June, ' 1854, Bishop Ames sent Rev. Goode to the territory to Investigate and report what he considered a practical scheme for the furthering of Methodism In this new and unsettled country. Thus four days after the Kansas-Nebraska bill pro viding for ther organization of these terri tories became a law, and twenty-three days prior to the proclamation of the pres ident declaring the Indian title extinguished and the country open for settlement, and four months before the organization of tbe territorial government, the Methodist church had made provision for , the re ligious needs of the people yet to come by 'the appointment of one of its best equipped men to go in person to the field and aacer tain by actual observation what was needed. In these days of conveniences in traveling , one can scarcely conceive the hardships and trials through which this good man passed, and the details of the Journey, covering more than 800 miles, are 1 full of thrilling interest Speaking of those who pushed our nation "across forest and desert and ..mountain chain,"' tho author quotes from President Roosevelt, who in his address to the bi centennial celebration of the birth of John Wesley, in New York, February 26, 1903, said;. . "It was an Iron task, which none but .men of iron sof' and iron body could doc The men who carried It to a successful conclusion had characters, strong alike for good and for evil.

From this fate we have been largely res cued by the fact that together with the rest of the pioneers went the preachers, and all honor be given the Methodists for the great proportion of these pioneer preachers whom they furnished." In October, 1864, at old Fort Kearney. Ne braska City, the Rev. W. D. Gage was ap pointed pastor. This was the first regu larly appointed pastor in Nebraska. John Hamlin, familiarly and lovingly known to many citlsens of Omaha and throughout Nebraska as "Father John Hamlin," had the honor of being the first class leader, steward, trustee and Sunday school super intendent He also had the contract for building the first church building in Ne braska. During later years Father Hamlin Identified himself with Seward Street Meth odist Episcopal church, Omaha, and con tinued a member of this church until his death, a few months since. In Omaha, as 'well as at many other places in Nebraska, the first events of a religious character were Methodtstlo. Dr. Goods appointed Isaac F. Collins to look after the ' Omaha mission in 1856. "The first sermon preached, the first official ap pointed to look after her spiritual Inter ests, the first pastor assigned and present on the field, the tlrst church organisation effected and the first Protestant church building erected were all Methodist." , The author pays a beautiful' tribute to Mother McCoy, who organized the first Sunday school in Omaha, and was herself the superintendent, and who was per mitted to live and serve the church she iovd until the fall of 1902, when she was called to rest. Step by step the author carries the reader through, the years of privation and hardship; through the "grasshopper" and "hotwlnd"- period; through the "ups and downs" to the present, when Methodism has attained its present splendid showing. The author rightfully assumed the reader would enjoy looking into the faces of those who have brought about these wonderful changes, and brought Methodism to its present standard, and has given por traits of many of those, ministers and laymen, who have devoted their Uvea to the church, and whom the church has hon ored. A history of Methodism would not be complete without a history of its hos pltals, missionary, educational and chart' table Institutions, therefore the author has presented portraits of both men and women who have and who are, engaged In mission ary, educational and charitable lines. In addition to many others are the faces of H. T. Davis, T. S. Lemon, J." B. Max field, J. H. Fresson. J. P. Roe, 3. Q A. Fleharty, and many others of those pioneer saints, who, as one presiding elder significantly said, "expected but little from the people In the way of salary and was not disap pointed." as well as J.

The November number of Scrlbner's Mneexlne contains another of Thomas F. M - rd's brilliant articles on the war in the east, the first, really adequate accounts of the actual conditions there. This time he writes of the "Conditions In the Russian Army," which he has had special oppor tunities to study. He gives a very clear rea son for much of the Inefficiency snd un- preparedness of Russia, and an Intimate view of the conduct of the officers snd the character of the soldiers In the field. Of the Russian private he has a high opinion and thinks that If he were efficiently offi cered he would be a thoroughly good sol dier. Tho illustrations are from the author's photographs. The Novembor. issue of the World -Today Is again the leader pf dollar magaslnes in point of illustrations and worth of articles. It deals with a very varied list of topics and a large number of Illustrations, be sides the special cover design by G. C. Wtdney. The live Issue of municipal owner ship Is ably treated by Francis W. Parker, who has been making a careful study of municipal conditions in Great Britain. Borne of the Ideas held by Americans In regard to city government and partisan politics of our British cousins will be found to need revision. Mr. Parker's article is entitled "British Municipal Practice versus Amer ican Municipal Theory." There are thirty-eight signed contribu tions In the November Smart Bet, and no magazine can offer a greater variety of stories and poems; certainly no standard Is higher. The novelette which opens the Issue Is called "The Surrender," and Is written by J. H. Twells, jr. It Is a power ful study of divorce, presented with great insight and feeling.- The scenes, many of which are drsmatlo In the extreme, are laid In Paris, and the euthor reveals an inti mate knowledge of the French capital. Older girls will learn with regret that Anna Chapln Ray this year brings to a close with "Nathalie's Sister" her series of delightful "Teddy" stories. It was this series of six books, beginning with "Teddy Her Book," which gave Miss Ray her present high standing as a writer of suc cessful stories for girls.
