It wa ? Ji few ml mi to. " | ) nst 8 o'clock when thn revivalist appeared and took charge of tlio meeting. Ho continued the line of thought discussed on Wednesday nij/ht. Ho said : "There is no more important lesson than Iho one wo partially discussed last nijiht , the building of Christian charnc- Uir. 'Giving all diligence , add to your faith virtue' ( or coiirngu ) untl to conrngo knowledge. Wo discussed the virtues or graces last nipht , faith and courage and knowledge. These are the rocks , one upon another as we build by dlvino di rection. Fir.-U , ful tli in God , faith in the right , faith in the ultimate triumph of the right ; then courage , courage that I may dare to do right and dare to be true. You pi ay search this book from Genesis to linvelatlou and you will lind this fact demonstrated that , God never chose a man to do or dare for him that the man wasn't CAMK I'lSOM 11KAI ) TO FOOT. Ciod himself despises a coward. Jf 1 mil ri ht , I am right , to be afraid of nothing tint the wrong. In the right bu as bravo as a lion. What can harm a brave man in the right ? Death hurra him ? That sort of a man will live for ever in the sky. There is no such tiling ni a true man without this grace of com-- ngot and don't understand me as mean ing bullylsm or pistol and dirk sort of bravery. 1 h.we no patience witli that sort of bravery. I am sorry for a man when his honor gets .so low down that he lias to defend himself with the dorrringer and dirk. I am sorry for a man when his character does not stand out in suoli boldnesss that It needs i.o defence. I like the spirit of the old blacksmith when they reported to him "That man over yonder is blackmailing and .slandering yon , if I ivaa yon I would got a stick and go over there and. maul him witti it. " "Well. " said the man , "J can take my hammer and anvil and hammer out more good character in a month than tic could des poil in a lifetime. " It is the man who is conscious of rectitude "I am right'1 and bravery over maintains the right ; main tains it against all odds , maintains it ugainst public opinion , maintains it ( igainst your friends , maintaint it against your enemies ; the man who stands up earnestly , faithfully and persistently for the right. That's it and then "add knowl edge to your courage knowledge. " J 'ow I. say iii my place that sin intelligent Christianity is the O.S'I.V O.N'i : YOU CAN" IJAXK O.V. nt last. Ignorance If as round as n. ball and as slick as it can be , it has no handle to it a tut yon cant get hold of it and to- dny , of all times in thu world's history , there is tlio least excuse for ignorance. The best volume of earth may be bought for a song , and fuel for light has been cheapened so that 1 may not only buy but furnish light to read a volume of uorne gooil book every week. 1 have very little patience with the man that professes to be a Christian and yet is not posted at all. He is the man that doesn't know anything about the ten command ments , und lie doesn't know anything about the sermon on the mount. Did you over road this book ? Jesus Christ , the great preacher , did ' you ever read his Hermons ? Jlo would' have preached nmlc differently from the way he did , if lui hud been preaching to angels , and yet it I get up and discuss tlieso things and denounce these tilings hero lam consid ered vulgar. Dare yon call this book a vulgar Look ? Dare you say that this book is not lit to be carrieil into your parlors and into your sitting rooms. Ah , my brother , ( ! ocf announces what your sins are and calls them by name , and warns you , "Cease to do these things. " 1 have been amused if 1 say no other word I have been amust-d by the way seine people get their urbanity smashed nil to pieces : it these services ; how they tut their nervous systems mim.shcii. llorror of horrors. There are good women and men in the church , and maybe bo preachers sitting under my voice to- iitehi , who may be shocked at what is said , and who ran go out on the street end count forty thousand people MAIICIM5C HIOIIT INTO IIKIX mid llisU don't shook him at all.

" "Touch not , taste not , handle not. " that is God's pronun ciation on whisky , 'ihero are a great many people In this world who think this doctrine of prohibition is new. got up by long-haired men and short-haired women over in the cast. It was born two thousand years ago. Let inn tell you , as old us this bible , this doctrine of total aKstiiieneo. I will venture to assert that every man in town that drinks whisky , and every man thai , sells whisky , nays , JUNI1S IS A CILANIC. On that subject he is a crank , and I have said to tlio bar keepers of my town , "when 1 drunk your whisky and when I paid you my hard-earned money for It , ami when I dclniuelied my soul and my body , and almost broke the heart of the best wife a man ever had , you didn't call mo a crank then ; no , no. I was a sensible fellow ihen , but when I came out and allied myself with the right , and I am then the next one risrlit on that is cour age , the ne\t ono is knowledge. Now , then , we want tlie great regulating force of a man's life , temperaneti. That is llm great regulating foive of a man's lifo , thai is doing everything in thentrht way andat the right timi ; that is being just as gooit on Wednesday as you are on Sunday , and you don't have to bu x-ery good on Wednesday here to be as good "as vou are on Sunday. I don't want you to lorgt't Unit. It. means just as good one time of the year as another , and one time of day' 113 another. Temperance is tlie great regulating force that rims mo on a dead level to tlio good world. Some proulo think lie-.iven us above and hell is down here , but brother , heaven is beyond aud hell i.s buyond , and they are on a dead level route and are at the'Antipodes. Heaviui is around this way anil hell over that way. but we have a dead level road between the two places , aud if .you turn your back on hell you are going heavenward , anil if you turn your back on heaven YOIT AUK ttOIM'r STKAIOHT TO HUM , , and that is all there is about it , and I will toll yon all here to-day that we have got a jrreat iteal of outside'matter mixed up with our religion. Let me tell you 1 used lo think should an olil sinner bo careless liu would get in the road , to heaven. There is hut one road to this moraj uni verse. Heaven is at ono end of it and lii'll ' tlio other , anil it you are on the way to hell pou have nothing to do but turn around in the road you are in , and you are m the road to heaven. Whatofoes conversion mean ? Here it is , "Con. " al together , "vurto , " to turn. 1 will tell you , if you old sinners want to get to heaven , turn around , old fellows , and luoveotf. ( Laughter. ) Temperance is tlio great regulating force thai runs a man on a dead level and make.s him good every day and good everywhere. Wo want that sort ot Christianity , they are reliable anywhere and reliable any place. You eau trust them in the business , you can trust them in social life , trust them in your family , trust them in your church , trust them everywhere. Temperance makes me what I ought to be , every day every where , llero is the point , out here at this point where Iho saw mill i.s running , you saw tliatstationarjengine ; sitting out on side , and just over the end of the en- ginu are the little governors , the two little balls , you have seen them turning. Well , when the saw runs into a log , tlio great sixty-inch saw runs into a big log , the little governors hold down , and the steam is pressed against tlie piston head , and now I see Iho saw cutting its way right along right through tlie log ana runs out on the other side , aud the little governors lift up and shut the steam oil , and the .saw runs in the same revolutions to the minute whether in the log or out. Tliat is what we call temperance in the best sense. AV15 FIND A .TOIl IN' mOSPKItlTV , and the lir.it thing we know the last dollar lar was swept nway from him , with his children , and then I see tho. temperance force of his life. Ho runs right into ad versity and. runs right out , saying , "Tlie Lordgavo and the Lord taketli awav. Blessed be the lame of the Lord. " Ifo was the same solid man that ho was be fore he went into adversity , and then ho runs into a moro dire affliction , until at last wo see him on an asli-bankserubbing himself , and his wife runs up 10 him anil says : "Job , your breath is a stench in my nostrils , and your body is a ourso great to see , " but .lob ran out of the alllictioii and said : "God may Hlavmo.yet in Him will I trust. " But whim Job finally ran out of his adversity ho said , "I have re tained my intesrity and I have not done wrong , " ami when ho ran all through this , then the Ixml said , " 1 will bless your latter days aa I never blessed your former days. That Is the sort of a man 1 like , good anywhere and everywhere and under alleireuinstanced. What rock will lit down on Unit ? "Add lo your temperance patience. Oh , what a virtue patience is. Sister , you would bo the best wife a man ever had if you just had a little moro patience. Mother , you would be the ijf TIII : woitr.n if you just had a little moro imticnco. Husband , you would be the best husband a woman ever had if you just had u little more patience. Look here. 1 have soon men that had patience with everybody in town except their wivas. Have you not seen a few of that sort ? Why , sir , to ladies down town at thu store , why , they will smile and bow and scrape all day to everyone that comes in , and when hu when ho mmt homo the first thing his wife said to him he snapped tier up and cut her heart lo the very core. If 1 can't be kind to but one woman in this world I will tell you which one that will bomy wifo. I may be a sort of a ettrioiH fellow. I think a heap of my wifo. I'ationed , patience , patience.

I know from practical experience whut 1 am saying. I know what hoinu is ami homo lifu.is. You are not only Imputitmt wltt ) your children , but when you pluk them to pieces with .your touguca you have not got the iiianhood , may bo , or womanhood to go nutl beg the punlou of the little child. / 1 OAK 1IK AS UllANKT us anybody , but 1 uuvor wm mean enough not to go "and beg pardon after L done'it. . I do so wnnt to straighten tilings up. I talk about these little things bcennse that Is where you need a little touching tip. Mother , you bo morc _ patient with little Willie. You want him to do just like his papa , but you must remember that he Is only three years old , while tits papa i thirty. He patient and kind to j-our chil dren , recollect your children are your little brothers and sister. * in a sense. Then you bu kind lo them and considerate with them. 1 will tell you another thing , you want a good deal of patience with us preachers. We are poor frail fellows. Wo have our infirmities just as well as yon have yours. How we need patience , cv- erj'wfioro and every day to control us in our lives. Rather let. us bo more patient. I tell 3 oil the day will come when your impatience will be a thorn in your llcsli. When the day comes , when you shall biiri'vour wife out of your sight , and be side the grave whore she lies burind from the sight of man , as you look down upon thai grave you will tie sorry for every im- palli'iil , unkind word you have given your wife. Sometimes when you sco your little children fade and die and on the table In the parlor they look like little - tlo angels chiseled out of marble , and when you no in there , O , how those icy cold lingers point the memory back to the hasty words and actions Bcaltrred along , \our backward track How those little hands remind me as in snowy grace they he. not lo scatter thorns but roses for'llm reaping by and by. ( jed help us to be good and kind and considerate to one another. Let us be in all our relations in lifo patient and let patience have her perfect work. Hoys ought to bo mighty patient with mothers. See those silver streaks running through her hair and these fur rows plowed in her face. Hoys bo I'ATIKNT TOWAItl ) YOim MOTHKKS. She will leave you some day and then you will say how sorry 1 am that I ever lidded a single gray hair or plowed a single tnrrnw in mother's face Hoys be patient toward mother and father also. Now 10 piitiiMico we add this great stone in tlie building of godliness , that is ( > oil- Ijkeness. Keniemlmr Msler let us be ( Jod- like in our lives and this ( lodliness , what i. ity Hrothcrly kindness. I have been talking a great deal hince I Imve been here on brotherly kindnes-i. We are kind to a great many people but do you know that our religion is not broad enough. I will illustrate what I mean m this way. L lind that if a fellow don't need any help everybody wants to help hini , did you ever notice tliatV Did you ever notice that the bank that , had $10,000,000 on de posit is the bank that everybody .wants to put their money in. When a fellow has got a plenty of everything , everybody wants uim to take some of theirs and when a fellow lias irot nothing no body has got anything for him. The sort of religion we want is religion that will make us get down to work. There are some people in tl > is city ; if you want a blessing on jour soul , go and see them and help them. Sotno people de spise paupers. I will toll you what they remind mo of. Here is a big bon-ton family in the town , WHO i-trrs ov AII and run on blood. They are the biggest folks in town. They ride in ti fancj * car riage and stick up on their blood , while tiiuir old father is running a soap fac tory. ( Laughter. ) What do you think of that ? Jt don't take a. great length of time to forget the piiirom which they are dug. And some of you looking me in the fane who , when you moved to Omaha , were as poor as Job's tin key and now you have got a little property and you just despise poor folks. 1 was born poor , ami raised poor , and hoed my own up to this hour. ( Laughter. ) I never will despise poor folks because if I did I would despise myself. ( Laughter. ) Brotherly kindness. Let us be kind and helpful to every one and do good as op portunity presents itself. Hrotherly Kindness and charity. You see charity , that is the keystone ; we drop it into the arch , the building is finished , and now one or two things will happen. There is your house not made with hands eternal in the heavens , and here it is and God will step down and will put one hand under this building and the other on top and lift it to the paradise of God and set it down on the streets of the new Jerusalem or God will run the street of the now Jerusalem out in front of the house and incorporate you into the city of God and you wil } be th'ero forever. Brother thu building is finished now. We will have an abundance cntorauce into the everlasting kingdom of our lord and Saviour Jesus Christ , tlere is the ftructuro , here is the Christian character. Add to your faith virtue , to your virtue knowledge , to vonr knowledge temper ance , lo lemporance palieneo and to patience brotherly kindness and to broth erly kindness godliness and to godliness charity , und universal love to God and man. Now God says if these things bo in you and abound you shall never die but shall have an abundant cnteranco into tlio everlasting kingdom. Brethren of the church of God let us wake up and shake the dust of our feet from us in this our day and generation , let IIH be some body tor God and jive for God and de velop every Christian grace , and every child that shall bo born shall bless the world after wo are dead and gone. TUP. CIIUUCU OF GOD IN O.HAII.V reminds mo of a company of littie children np in a little room jumping up in the corner of the room and a. great big old snake out in tlio middle of the tloor and every little fallow is afraid to move for fear the snakn will get him. The church of God in Omaha is dumped up in the corner anil we are afraid to move ; wo are afraid of the aovil Hub ho will pounce upon us if he sees us. Come out and bu a man. We used to have strenglh , bub where is our power to-day 1 O God , visit thu church of God in Omaha witii power from high. [ Voices Amen. Amen. ] Pray for il brother and wo will have victory here in Iho narno of our Lord Jesim Christ and victory here means a triumphant and. abundant outer- mice yonder. We can go over to the union depot at Council BinHH and watch the Chicago , Burlington & Quiney rail road engine roll up to thu station all greasy and dirty but on time , and she trembles under her air brakes and slops , and the passengers alight with joy ami then I walk to the Hock. Island and the engine rolls in on time and all the pas- tuiiigurs alight , and then to thu Chicago & Milwaukee and she rolls in on time and the passengers alight , and then to all the other roads and the trains come in on liojK , and then walk off ami bury my face in my hands and say If I ever get to heaven I will spend a thousand ymir.s at the pearly gales just watching the blood- washed souls sweep in on time and safe forovrr. What a grand sight that would be to look upon. Brother let us have victory hero nnd an abundant enteranco yonder into everlasting kingdom ot our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

" O .AIIA.'S NINE. Steps Taken tia < u MRtit to I'Vir ItN Selection. Lust night 'tli ro was a wcll-altcndcd meeting of the directors of the now Omaha base 'ball ' association in Frank Bundle's stor6. ' The interest of those present exceeded that displayed on any preceding occnfion in Iho matter of or- organir.ing a biju ; ball club. It argued favorably for tlio success of the undertak ing.

The secretary was authorized to close contracts with several of Iho applicauLi. though thu names of those selected , for the present , are for prudential motives kept secret. Messrs. Kay and Handle , of the com mittee appointed to visit Lcavonworth , m.idc a report of their visit and the same was approved. The committee on grounds appointed at the last meeting , nave several excel lent sites in consideration , but thus far have not been < iblo to agree uuon one. Alter tlio CduntorfoltcrH. Frank Fowler , a special government agent , has been in Omaha for two or three days working up the counterfeit ing business supposed to be centered hero. The arrest of an export shovcr ot the queer at Minneapolis last week led to the discovery that the spurious coin was manufactured in Omaha , and on the man's confession another member of the gang was arrested at Milwaukee. Tlio ollicer believed that ho had discovered a clew lo the go-between who has boon se curing thu counterfeit from the manu facturers and distributing it to the "workers" in other cities. Jt was his in- lenlion to shadow the man and thus dis cover who Ids confederates were at this point. Fowler expected tils man to ar rive in Omaha Wednesday night or last night , but as he did not put in an appear ance it is supposed that he had been in formed of his danger and is in hiding until a more favorable opportunity. . ICnnsnti City Hurra Qinnlia. "The only large city that I visit , " said Postal inspector Brown to a. Ben man last evening , "whore 1 cannot buy an Omaha paper is Kansas City. While there a few dai's ago I slopped up to a news stand in tlio depot ami inquired for an Omaha Bf.t ; and the clerk looked at me with a look ot wild astonishment. " "You can't get an Omaha paper in Kansas City , " said ho ; "wo don't keep 'em. Nothing ; from Omaha goes in this town. " "And I found out that it was a fact , as a visit to all the principal news stands soon proved. While Omaha is not as big a town as Kansas City , still the latter fears her as the great coming rival. " Picked Up Uncoiisclniia. A prostrate- stranger was discovered on the platform of thellnion Pacific depot last evening by Depot Police man Green , who did his best lj awaken the man to consciousness. Being unable to rouo him , the patrol wagon was summoned and the man loaded in and conveyed to the city jail.

In this con nection we lake pleasure in slating that. a recent article in tlio BKE regarding Air Crawford was an exaggeration , and was intended more as a joke than anything olso. The fact is there was but little foundation for it. His connection with the lawsuit , which was the main subject of the article , was merely a matter of business. As a lawyer he prosecuted the case , and simply did his duty to his client. _ _ Hal ford Snuou inukes your food more nutritious. A IVIyfitnrlouH Baltimore American- Over the tomb of the late Bishop Odcnheimer at Burling ton , N. J. , there iiovor.s nightly a bright light , which is so much of a phenomenon as to create much discussion and excite ment among the people of Burlington. The bishop's tomb is of gray polished granite , and is located near the vestry iloor of old St. Mary's church , the cathe dral of the dioccso of New Jersey , of which Rev. Dr. Hills , the dean of the con vocation of Burlington , is the rector. A bishop's miter is carved on the top of the massive Ktonc , and on the place whioli old Sexton Prickctt points out as being the resting plaee of the saintly bishop's head appear nightly the luminous llame , that at times resembles the light from a lantern and on other occnmons is HO radi ant that it looks like a halo such n.s the old masters have naintcd around the heads of their canonized saints. Sineo the strange apparition was first observed , a week ago. crowds of people liavo visited old St. Mary's graveyard at night. The light can bo seen for a con siderable distance ; hut if ono has ncrvo enough to walk through the lioh-gato and approach the tomb , nothing can be found to explain tint cause of the strange flicker , as when a near approach to Iho tomb is made nothing can be HOCII. All the ground in thu vicinity is high and en tirely too dry to admit of any possibility of igriis-tatuim or false fire. Only a few liavu , so far , had courage enough to approach preach to the tomb after dark , but hund reds have contemplated the light from the sidowalk. Bishop Odenheimer was a man devoted - voted to good deeds , and was the father of many of the Episcopal churches in the diocese of New Jersey. These of a fcr- vonb religious temperament ascribe thu phenomenon to a diyino communication , and regard the illuminated tomb as u lat ter day miraelo. William Tough , in Wnlsh county , Dakota - kota , seems to uo rightly mimed. Hu is reported to liavo decamped recently with a Mrs. Sanderson uml her two small sons , taking seven linid of liorscs and a wagon and harness they did not own. A reward of $100 is oflorcd for them.
