THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY. MAY 29. 18S7.-TWELVE PAGES. MERITORIOUS MANHATTAN , Tbe Beautiful Addition in the Southwest ern Part of the Oity , The licst Residence I'orlloti of Oma ha Hired Hallways nnil liiiild- liiK AiMoclntloiiq Knhnnco thn Vuluo nl Manhattan. It is now settled beyond a doubt that the choicest residence portion of the city will bo in the southwestern portion , located a short distance from llanscom park. This pnrt of the city will , as soon as the street railways are running cars , enjoy a boom for resiliences such as has not oc curred in any part of the city for years. The cround , as a guncr.il thing , lies beautiful , and the view afforded Is grand , Several building associations arc helping to build up this part of tliu city , and the well known addition , Man hattan , enjoys the distinction of having onu building association that will build a do/.cn or moro houses at once ; and the prospect ? are good for an other. The electric railway pastes within about a quarter of a inilo of Manhattan , and will probably bo extended through it nt an early dav. The solo agency for this beautiful ad dition has been placed in the hands of the Nedd Heal Estate Exchange , and ills proposed to f-oll the remaining few lots at such low prices that it wilj uo only a matter of a week or .so until all the lots are sold. You will bo able , the coming week , to sccuro a lot in Manhattan from Mr. Nodd for $250 to $500 , with about ton per cunt cash and thu balance on very easy payments. Surely if you want a home cheap you will not delay in securing ono of these lots. If you don't you will have to go four miles from the postolllco and pay nloro for them than is asked for Manhattan lots. The price of lots in Manhattan can bo bettor appreci ated when it is known that adjoining property holders are selling at from two to four times this amount. Free car riages will bo ru.i from the olllco of Hedd's Heal Kstato Exchange , MOO Far- nam street , at any time purchasers desire lo sc-o the property. You can rest as sured it will bear investigation. LONDON. ( Special ) .

The society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and Animals have , luce its organi/.ution , been quietly bnt flcctually doing its work , and the re- ults have boon so apparent that the ex- ircssion now is : "How little is seen of ruelty m the streets now , compared wth ho sickening sights previous to the organization of the Humane society. " In the remote sections of the city ad vantage is taken by the thoughtless and ndifloront , but this will gradually cease , ns it is becoming well known that any > uo may report cases of cruelty ) y telephone to the society through ho telephone of the Excelsior ollice , which has been kindly placed ut the use of the society until they get their own set ip. On receipt of such complaints an agent of the society is sent immediately to the place. A number of cases have been reported to the society which , after careful inves tigation , were found to bo neighborhood liiarrols. Thn Nebraska State Humane society will not permit itself to bo used for any such purposes. A journal of the work of the society is kept by its ollicers , and the papers can nt any time learn all complaints that are made. Wo give below a few of the cases re ported : Mule being starved , Two children abandoned by their parents. Forty teams stopped for overloading , and made to throw oft a uortion , or got additional horses ; some of those were coal , some lumber , und some dirt. Five collars were removed from horses sullering with sore necks and shoulders , Eight horses were ordered out of har ness as unfit for work. In all cases prompt action is taken , and a warning or suggestion given which in most cases have been all that wrs neces sary , Several arrests were niado com pulsory , owing to the ill disposition of the parties spokou to. _ "What Are They ? "What do they call those business lots in South Omaha ? " asked a recent visitor. "Well , that depends , " was the cautious reply. "Speculators call them 'snaps , ' bankers call them 'gilt edge , ' judges of real estate call them 'dirt cheap , ' mer chants call them 'bargains , ' capitalists call them 'desirable investments , ' loan brokers call them 'safe' and all who wish to take advantage of their present low price and liberal discounts should call at C.

LiUTHEUAN GENBKAIi BVNO1 > . The Meeting In Oiuaha Thin Week- Homo Interesting Faotn. Next Wednesday owning there will convene m this city the general synod of he Evangelical Luthcrn church in the J. S. A. This will bo a national conven- ion made up of representatives from district synods. These delegates coming from different sections of our country rt-ill bo a fair representation of the Eng lish speaking Lutherans in the United States. There are three other general Lutheran bodies in our country. These divisions are caused in part by sectional incs , doctrinal differences and variety of .angiuigcs. The latter is probably the greatest dilliculty In the way of Amcrj- can Lutheran church union. It is : i difli- 3iilty ; by no means overestimated , since in this country there are eight di tic rent languages spoken in the Lutheran pulpit. J'lio Lutheran church is the oldest arid the largest Protestant denomination in the world , numbering probably fifty million souls. Its birthday was October Hist , 1517 , the day on which Luther nailed his ninety-live theses on the Wittenberg church door , debouncing the sale and indulgences , and setting forth Christ's obedience aud death as the only ground of pardon. These who accepted the teachings of Luther as an exposition of the pure and simple gospel , wcre-callcd Lutherans in derision. The name of contempt invented by enemies is now accepted by those who bear it as a name of honor. The dochnial basis of the church is the Augsburg confession. This embodies the faith of the church , and is received and acknowledged by all Luther ans throughout the world , regardless of language or national distinctions. This confession was prepared byMolanchthan under the direction of Luther , and in tended as a statement or declaration to Emperor Charles V. showing wherein the reformers diil'orcd from the Romish church. The subjects of the teachings of the church do not , in general , differ from these of other churches , though the form of statement is moulded by the Lutheran interpretation of the Bible and believed to be faithfully set forth in the Lutheran standards , which aim to conform to a literal inter pretation of the word of ( iod , The church holds to two sacraments , namely : Baptism and the Lord's Supper. Con cerning baptism it teaches that it is ne cessary to salvation as a moans of offered grace. Concerning the Lord's Supper it rejects what is so often unjustly charged against it in the way of consiibstantiatiou and transubstuntiation. It is plainly taught that though there is no camming- lingof substance therois aunion between the bread anil the wine and the body and the blood of Christ , but that tula sacra mental union is incomprehensible and therefore not to bo understood by u.s. The government of the church varies with the different countries in which it is found. The form of govormcnt is largely congregational. Each individual church governs itself , and each pastor is free to conic or go as ho chooses. In the Scan dinavian countries there are superintend ents , called bishops , who , however , claim no rights that are not common to all miniiterf. In the greater part of ( lor- maiiy the government is exorcised by ; v consistory , a body composed of clerical and lay representatives , and appointed by the reigning sovereign. In this coun try the government is by congregations and synods. The church council , gen- orally' composed of trustees , elders und deacons , with the pastor as chairman , has direct control and oversight of the individual congregation , and its power is positive and binding. The district synod is composed of minMors and lay dele gates representing a given portion of the church , and transacts nil business per taining to the congregations represented. In worship there exists some diversity , for the Lutheran church lays down no iron rule to which nil must conform. The preaching of the word , the regular ad ministrations of the sacraments and con gregational singing are indispensable parts of divine worship.

According 16 one of their standard au thorities , the following statistical hketch of the LUTHERAN CHURCH IN AMERICA may bo relied upon as correct : The celebrated German divine , Dr. Henry Melchior Muhlcnticrg , is regarded as the founder of the Lutheran church in America. He arrived here in 1743. The first Lutherans arrived hero from Hol land in 1031 ; thev came , however , with out a minister. The hrst members who brought with them their shepherd , cauio from Sweden in 1038 , and settled where the city of Wilmington , Del. , now stands. Six years sifter the landing of Muhlen- berg , the first synod was organi/.ed in Philadelphia. Constant accession to the church from Europe increased its mem bership so rapidly that in 1820 there were 170 ministers , aud 33,000 communi cants. In this year (1820) ( ) , in response to the felt need of a closer union amung the ditlbrent synods extending over a terri tory so-vast us that of the United States , the general synod was formed , in which almost the entire Lutheran clement of the country was represented. C Since that time three other general bodies , from various causes , have devel oped from the general synod. The growth ot the church in the United States as rep resented in these four general bodies has boon remarkable. According lo the Luth eran Year book there are : Ministers , 4,104 ; churches , 7.CU2 ; communicants , OtO.OUG. Their educational institutions in the United States are : 23 theological seminaries ; 23 colleges ; 33 academics ; 10 ladies ominarlcd ; 52 orphan's homes and asylums- These btatistics give a partial insight into the present activities of the Lutheran church. "Sho is carrying the gospel to the poor and destitute ; bho is planting her missions in the great cities of the east and west , the north and south ; she is sending her missionaries to the heathen to teach thorn the way of life : aud each your she moro liberally pours out her treasures for every cause that advances the glory of God and the welfare of humanity.

An iron viaduct will span the railroad tracks on street and connect the cnst with the west side of the city and give employment to UOO men.
