THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY , MAY SO WORDS OF BIBLICAL WISDOM , Eloquent Sermons By Visiting Presbjterian Clergymen Yesterday. ATTENTIVE CONGREGATIONS. Omalin Protestnnt Pulpits rilled ! Hy Ijcnrncil DIvlucH I'hc Texts nnd HtihHtniieo of the DIsuottrncH. Rcrinons Hy YlNltliiR I'aitors. Nearly all of the Protestant pulpits were tilled vestcnhiy and lust evening by visiting Presbyterian clergymen who are in attendance upon the general assembly. The following are svnop H of the ills- courses which It was possible to obtain through reporters of tlio lir.K : First Mollmtllsi Kplscopul Clitirrli. Hev. Dr. McMillan preached In the morning nttliu Kiril Methodist Kpbcopal church. IIU text was John I , > l , "In Him wa.s life and tlio lifo was the liL'ht of man "lie spoke of Iho necessity of fellow ship with ( foil in order to get a correct view of the truth , of man'.s duty and de.s'.iny , Without that fellowship man lias nil incorrect view of .sin. Tins proposition the speaker illustrated by describing the ell'ect of a picture when seen in a wrong light. He continued : We mnyeatimate ( tod's view of sin by the visitation of the deluge and by His giving His yon as a sacrifice. Without tins fellowship man does not get the right views of the plan of redemption in Christ. Without this fellowship man docs not get the right view of the provi dential dealings of God. The preacher spoke : it length upon in telligent Christianity and averretl lhat true intelligence could only come from ccmtinucd and unremitting communion with ( Hod and thu teachings of llis > word. The congregation was largo and atten tively appruointho. Hev. W. A. Patton , of Philadelphia , preached in the evening from the following to\t : Pal. ix-'a. The sermon was a presentation of the thought calculated to answer objec tions to the bible , and was presented in a Btrong manner. 1. The divine origin of the word. The writers of the bible agree with the best deductions of science. Uod preserved them Irom error. a. The victories of the past are an earnest of the future. ! 5. 'Iho book of ( Sod wan urged as the source of comfort and strength. CnstcllnrStrontl'rcsliftcrian Church. lr. ) Marquis preached in the Castollar Street church yesterday morning , draw ing a practical commendation of labor from the text , "Labor not for tlio meat that pcrishctli but the meat thatcndurcth for everlasting life. " Ho commenced by referring to tlm miracle of the loaves anil the fishes , and told how Jesus had been followed by the multitude who \\ero possessed of the desire to make Him king , bceauso of the miracles which they knew Ho had wrought , lint Ho avoided them , not wishing to come in conflict with the Roman governor , who would immediately have looked upon such a design as treason and put Him to death , thus bringing His career to an end earlier than His leather had intended. Their desire for a king , however , was an unholy one , was based upon the idea thai Christ with Hi- > power would bo able to give them all they wanted in the M way of earthly goods , which they ' .e were too la/.y themselves to secure. It 11M was not a king \yhieh they wanted so 11P much as an easy life , a state of society in 11ti which extreme ease and abundant plenty should prevail. Christianity elevates , ti6i - ' ennobles and sanctifies honest labortiiat 6i labor or calling whatever it may bo to 7 , which the laborer or the professional man 01 gave the energy of his brain and muselo 01a and consecrated with the devotion of his tb heart. Ho liked the answer of the seam tb stress who when asked of what benefit thTl her chrihtianity was to her said. "Well , Tl niy religion makes mo take my stitches a th little closer. " Agreeable , also was the ar answer of the housemaid who said , "My Civ religion makes mo sweep under the door v ] mat. " These were things in this world en particularly worth striving for , and thny hj ! became things which never faded , but tf ! lived into ciernity when striven after an with honest and hearty endeavor and the ana extreme purity of heart. St. Mary'H Avonun Congregational. nt ! The services in this church were unus dit ually interesting yesterday. The Hev. of Francis lirown , professor of the Union { Theological seminary , New York city , ta preached. His text was from tioi Timothy , "Fight the Hood Fight of Faith , till ) etc. " Tlion ho followed with a most elo ln * quent exhortation to Christians to con tin tinue on their warfare for Christ , and to * nt the same time his strongest words CU4 were for those without the fold to elA come and join the army of warriors. A There has been no more impressive ser cos' ' mon made in this city since the assembly of the Presbyterian ministers than that con made by Hev. Hrown yesterday. ittfe In the evening Hev. Mr. Houston , of Wyoming , O. , spoke , lie is an eloquent man , and the largo uudicncc present were visibly impressed with his remarks. Yesterday communion services were hold Ver in the church and nine communicants were added to the roll of Christianity. can * There were several of the commissioners 8.0 * present during the services , which was a Ver DOlittlng compliment to the pastor of the church and the gentleman selected to occupy the pulpit.

Congregational church. Gn * rabernnclo . AIM Congregational. max ) At the Tabernacle Congregational cntlr church yesterday morning thu pulpit was COlt ] occupied by the Hov. Dr. J. A. Henry statU Thu church was well filled , and the re of ox marks of the divine were closely fol until I theri lowed. The doctor was suflbrmg from Klan Lwirseuess , but his delivery was still Act * Strong. The text was John ih-20 : "This 0u : * my joy therefore is fulfilled. " The doctor Inpn Bald there was no passion in thu human firnc They breast more hateful than envy. Wo are woiiU assured that Joshua was truly pious , yet rack' ' from an envious zeal for his mother's honor ho was desirous of silencing those steep unavi who bydivinu inspiration prophesied in the camp. Thu disciples of our Lord were treated by no butter principle when they forbade a person to cast out devils in his Th five ? . name , because he did not follow them. p. The complaints which John's disciples made to him respecting the multilndcs . who submitted to thu baptism of Jesus Btoruj , also originated in the sumo feeling. Hut mulatt that John the Uaptisl was onu of nature's , the 01 or , rather , one of God's nobility , does taitoN the ol not admit of question. Kyor.y man has his own life work to do as truly as the COMOJ Baptist had his. The all-wise and benevolent t I ween lent Creator bus called nothing into existence without assignng to it -f its own place and mission. I'.vory- The ) thing in thu whole universe of Ciotl aovclo came into u\istcnce as thu result of adlvino plan. No two men are ex- nctly alike , nor are the spheres and cir cumstances of any two men exactly At tli alike. It is an animating and strength UwMa ening thought to know that we are tilling the place and doing thu work appalntod enurnj us bv ( ! od. Ho wlio hus ascertained his mission ami is fullillidg it , however menial his work may be , knows that it ' is his own tin. work for which ho Is best fitted. Uy doing it ho is rising in dignity of character and in blrssedncsi. Hy faithfully performing his duties , however lowly they may bo , the Master is mould ing him Into beauty and titling him for a lilghcr sphere , and when thu etui cometh lie will not mourn that hi * was not a a gicater and more piomlnent sphere , but like John the Baptist he will rejoice that he has been enabled to fullill hi-i destiny that ho has done his work and "ho shall have n'joioltig in himselt and not in another. " Let IK ever remember , ends , aud rejoicu in the truth thai God h.ts given every man his special work. I'nrK Avenue Presbyterian. Hev. J. L. Kalb , of Heliefontaiue , Ohio , spoke in this church in Ihu morning be fore a very largo congregation. Ho choto his text from Timothy .xii , li' ! 'And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are , and when I eo the blood I will pass over you and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smile the land of Egypt/ ' There were four principal points in Mr. Kalb's .sermon : Firsl , the necessity of atonement in man's .salvation ; second , the work of atonement has rcferenci1 to God in the way of preparatory aid : third , that thu blood must be applied in order to bo a saving ellicacy. The reverend gentleman is a .splendid sneaker , thor oughly evangelical on everything ho .says , and every word ho utlur.s seems In cut to thu core. Ho has been pastor of Iho church of which ho is now for twentv-n nu years , which is an exceedingly strong certificate of "good conduct. Right here n word should be said about Kov. J. A Henderson , pastor of thu Park Avenue 1'rosbyterian church , lie has been in this city only two months , but has proqcd himselt to be a strong ac cession to llio clergy of Ihis denomina tion. He is a graduate of Motimouth college , near liurlingtoii , la. , and was paslor at Kenton , Ohio , for siv years. In the evening Hov. \ \ . Court , of Cory- don , la. , spoko. His text was from Isaiah xxx , 81 , "And thine ears shall hoar a word behind Ihee saying , this is the way , walk thco in it , when you go to the "right hand , when you go lo the left. " Tnis gentleman is a very cHoetiye speaker and held his congregaliou in rapt attention for nearly two hours. First ISaptist Clmrcli. In the Firsl Hapllsl church , Hev. G. E. Guild , of the Providence church , Scranton - ton , pro1 hed from ii. Corinthians , II , 4 : "I wrote unto yon that ye might know the love I have morn abundantly unto you. " Ho said : The words serve as a star in the cast bv which wo are beck oned unto thu heart of a great man. They serve as a window through which wo can look unto the lifo of the great Apostle Paul. Naturally wo inquire what was the secret of Paul's power. In looking at his life wo observe Ihat ho was a great travelur , having largo acquaint-1 line' ' ) among Jews and Gentiles , balms' and Greeks , wise and unlearned , phil osophers and day laborers. He was also a man of great intellectual power. 4His eruilition has been oulogi/.ed ever since his death. Ho was quiek to know what to sav. Ho was thoroughly conversant witli Hebrew scripture , made a slutly of thu passions of men. Ho had great prac tical sagacity. llo could build a tent and navigate a ship. Ho was careful in his judgments and far seeing in his plans. He was also an inspired man. Itul Iho real secret of his power is hardly to be found in these. Is il nol re vealed m thu lu.\l ; namely , in his warm heart ? Paul's tears came up fiom his heart before they came out from his eyes. Heart power as distinguished from intellectual power moves thu world. Strong affections rightly trained will usually accomplish more in tlio higher walks of life than more mental abilily , void of sympathy and sensibility. The scriptures teach that moral character is a product of the heart. Christianity is the religion of thought , but not Ihe mys tical thought of a stoic. It is the active , working , sympathetic Ihougbt of Apostle Paul , It is thought that is full of inspir ation to the tempted. This is illus trated by the parable of thu good s&- maritan. The priest iiid the Luvite passud by the wounded man , though probably both had compassion on him. But the Samaritan translated his compassion into actions , put him on his horse , took him to an inn , paid his bills , it was wvrm heart acting that has made pro verbial this deed of the Samaritan. This would seem to bo the need of I'jo church , to translate its motions and feelings into practical service , its men inlo useful power , its impulses into habits. Chris tian religion is designed to produce not alone a passive holy lifo but a lifu of ac tivity in tliu survieu of the Savior. North Presbyterian Church. Uov. VV. E. Moore , D. D. , spoke at this church during morning services. His text was from St. John xvii , 1,3"These words spoke Jesus and lifted up bis eyes to heaven and said , 'Father , the hour is come ; glorify Thy son , that Thy son also may glorify thee ; as thou hast given him power over all llesh that ho should give eternal life , to as maiiv as thou hast given him. " The speaker dwelt principally on the life of Christ , drawing applications therefrom to the needs of man to-day. Hu said it was only through his death that mun could bu saved. It should bu remem bered that the claim of Christ was that Gotl gave him power to give eternal lifo to thosu who believed in him. UKLIOIOUHMAJOKITY. Impressive * Services nt the Synagogue Vcstcrday. The synagogue of the congregation of Israel was Idled yesterday afternoon by an audience which assembled to witness the ceremony of confirmation. The pretty little house of worship was fra grant with the odor of ( lowers which were everywhere about the chancel , the pulpit and the altar. According to the custom thu ritu of confirmation is admin istered but once a year. When thu children of Hebrews reach the age of thirteen years it is thu period whun they publicly make u declaration of faith and tinilu will ; thu church. There WITO li\o confirmed yesterday.

The cere mony was instructive and touchingly im pressive. _ Alrmorlnl Concert at the Casino.

An Experiment of Much Intcroat to ho Tried in Utah. G. H. 11. Moore wont through Omaha last evening with a ear-load of infant shad which are to bo planted in the streams of Salt Lake , Utah. The ear is the property of the government and used exclusively by the United States fish commission. The lisli are carried in ten gallon cans , which are held in tanks ranging along both sides of the car. The number of the young shad with which this mtorestinc experiment is to bo made is 1,100,000. Their average length now is a half inch. The water is changed on them every live hours , and such good care is taken that but few have died on the trip. Mr. Moore said : "While the water of Salt Lake will not permit lisli to live , so strongly impregnated with the saline property is it , that of the tributaries at their mouths is not stronger than sea water , and a few miles luck it is fresh. It has been the idea of the commissioners for homo time that shad would grow in it.Vo arc now going to try. If iho ex periment is a success the people of the West will have the Hudson river delicacy in plenty. " MISSED HIM HY A IIAIK. A Hack Driver Ituns AunliiHt a Rapid City Sliootlat. Tom O'Hrion , a hackman , may regard himself an extraordinarily lucky individ ual. At a road house on Sherman avenue on . Saturday night O'Brien culled a woman who was in the company of a re cent arrival from Rapid City. The latter naturally became hostile and applied an approbious epithet to O'Hrion , whostruck h'm ' a violent blow in the mouth. The man from Rapid Hashed a pistol , placed it against O'lsrion's breast and pulled the trigger. The hammer came down on an empty shell , the only one in thn chamber. Ucforo the man could shoot again O'ltrien knocked him down and sprang away. Ho ran through three rooms and the man from Ktuiid shot at him four times , Yet not a bullet touched him.

St. Louis letter to Boston Globe : The newly organi/cd "Granite Mountain club , " of St. Louis , is a select social or ganization. It is composed chiellv of families that liavo largo holdings of the stock of the celebrated Granite Mountain silver mine , which has a remarkable history. The stock of the mine is capital ized at $10,000,000 , the par value of each share being ? ' , > , . A few years ago the stock was worth but a few cents a share , and St. Louis people were not inclined to touch it at any price , when new and rich veins of silver were discovered which sent the stock up to s13 a share at one bound , and followed a continuous climb in the price , till the stock now sells for more than 500. Kight stockholders were made millionaires , and the market value of all the stock h now about $25,030,000. The turning point in the history of the inino is like a magical transtormation .scone from the "Ariibian Nights. " The possession ot Granite Mountain stock now seems to confer a certain amount of social prestige , even when the holdings arc small. A Hurjjlnr's Penitence.

Correspondence of Philadelphia Press- Upon the plain mantel shelf stood three remarkable and largo photographs. They were of three Irish women of rank , whoso names I am not at liberty to di vulge. Three brunettes , of inagnilicent figure , with matchless eyes anil feature- , that defied criticism. One in particular , a G'Uway woman , told of her Spanish de scent by the large , languishing eyes , the voluptuous mouth , and the haughty car riage of the head.

" The "commercial traveler , " the "drum mer , " the "knight of the grip , " no mat ter what title you may give llio men who spread the trade of metropolitan places far and wide , they are strong , intelligent and active. They must bo so to be MIC- cessful in their calling , and they miiit be honorable or their mission would die a "bornin1. " It goes without saying that among those men there are found the brightest agents of trade known to com mercial life. It is true they arc here to-day and there tomorrow row , but the giip they carry makes its trade mark at every .stopping point. Liberal men are they , ox-hearted , humor ous , whose connection with varied types in giatitudo and excessive in kindness , of humanity makes them cosmopolitan When a commercial man arriu'iina town his advent is at once made known by tlio transter ol the organ grinder , tlio "man who lost his eyes in the battle of Waterloo lee , " the one-armed Marseillaise tenor , and others of the class to the line of march that tlio gripsack knight takes to his hotel. As ho i > ass s along , the tin cups resound with me tallic contributions and the commercial man smiles he is glad because ho didn't increase the candy butcher's bank roll on the train. In tine , the commercial traveler is the genius of this day of trade , lie stirs tip capital that has been resting for years anil makes old fogies supersede their spectacles with a telescope. He is the man in business who is a lover of the electric light when other people are talking of mold candles and dipped rushes. As a general rule ho is a saving man , and though in distant parts can always tuin with anxious and loving thought to a happy home. Omaha has a line quota of travel ing men. They are growing stronsror in number * ) and in business renponsibllity as the city acquires more wholesale houses , and to-day , throughout the west , there is no place of buying where an Omahaii has not been there to sell. Several new wholesale houses will bo established hero soon , from Iowa , driven from that trade territory by the prohibitory laws of the state. This will , of course , make business brisker anil , ot course , increase the army of the "grip kniirhts.1 The more the merrier. Everyone of them represents large busi ness interests and solid capital. It is the purpose of the HEI ; to give particular at tention to this class of our citi/ens.

" Consequent ly , each Monday morning , while tlio gridlo cake is backing in the pan , and the steak simmercth ovoi * tlio range , ho that Iris been called for the early train can read of himsull and companions both far and near. Personalities. John Hcatty , jr. , of Kirkeudnll , Jones & Co. , is one of Omaha's substantial traveling men. Ho has been handling a grip since 1870 , and it is just as natural to see his right hand go down for "some thing" as it is for the sun to shine. He always takes Ills soda with his left. During ten months of each year ho is stationed at Ogden , Utah , and is popular alike with Mormon and Gentile. Georce M. Swoigcrt , representing Leo , Fried & Co. , is another great grip. Ho is called the Dickens of the Omaha travelers on account of his story telling. So great is his reputation in this respect when ho comes into a town the local papers suspend publication. George is a champion in the hardware business he knows a hawk from a handsaw. Hilly Haydcnl Uho does not know gentle William and what doesn't he know about groceries. His represents Sloan , Johnson it Co. , and it is said ( Sweigort told the story ) that once when ho stood on the corner in a western town a lot of fellows sal down in front of him and commenced whittling and talking politics , for they instinctively thought they were at the "general store" at the cross-roads. D. H. Stewart , of the Paxton & Gal lagher corp > of commercial men , is said to be the Nester of these parts in his line , Ho is tin ) oldest commercial man with headquarters in this city. Ho was here before the tlood one Hood , at least that which mode the Missouri feel big some years ago. A. M. Kitchen is another Omaha com mercial man of not * , lie is , in fact , an alderman , and his election this spring in the Eighth shows that the traveling man gets lliere when he starts out for it. A. M. had a grip on the people of the Kighth. Sampler ) . The national convention of the Travel ing Mori's. Protective association will beheld held Juno 131 , 2\ and > 3 , at St. Louis.

All Incoming traveling men report trade excellent throughout the state. The Elkhorn TraAulers' club , of Nor folk , is an institution composed princi pally of those whoso business houses are in tnis city. J. H. Higdon is president ; W. W. Millie , vice president ; C. K. Coleman , treasurer , and A. B. Brown , secretary. ' 1 here are over sixty membi'rs and their opening ball , given May < > , was one of the great social events of Norfolk. There is some talk oftho traveling men in Omaha forming nu association similar to that in Norfolk , with club rooms , etc. The last issue of the Church Guardian was brightened considerably by an inno vation in tlni way of a .series of chatty ami breezy articles relating to the prog ress of music in I0piscop.il circles.

Albany Journal' A queer character ami H veritable ourio-ity in these days of progrcssivencss and railroads , turned up at the Delaware Ac Hudson railroad depot - pot recently and took the 8M : ! o'clock train on the Albany and Susquehanna division of the road for Schohane. 'Jho object was an estimable old gray-hatred farmer , who , to all appearance , is fully seventy years of age. who has driven in from nis country homo at Schohario , where for several generations his ances tors had lived quietly on an old homestead - stead , and led the uneventful lives of unsophisticated sons of toil and tillers of the soil. The old man is either an inno cent rurahst. as ho appear , or a monumental mental falsifier , for arousing the curios ity of the train and depot olhcials by the many questions he asked , hesitated in answer to a query "I hope you will excuse the questions , gents , fur I hev ueyer been an adern train before , " OMAHA M'lXH A OA.Mi : .

Perhaps the most stigucstlvo and In- slruetive statemeiil in regard to "surface liidieatlo'M" of natural gas l.s tint made by Prof. I.e-Iii1 touching I'eiiiiHNlvaiila. In answer to the question , "Shall I bore tor gas at my works' " ho says First of all , thcro can be no ga < stored up In the old rocks. This .settles the question in the negative for the whole southeastern third of Pennsylvania. To bore for a in Bucks , Philadelphia or Delaware counties would bo simply ab surd. - .

If there ever was any tt has long since found innumerable ways of escape into the atmosphere. This settles the question for all the conn- ties of the great valley , as anvone can see by looking at the present condition of their limestone , slate and sandstone formations. it. Theie is not thn least chance that any tras is left underground in thegieatly folded , crushed , aud hardened torma- lions of the middle belt of the state. Where the oil and gas rock rise to tlir surface in counties they show that all their oil ami gas has escaped long ago. I. Where the rock formations lie ap proximately hon/ontal anil have re mained nearly undisturbed over exten sive areas , as in all the counties west of the Alleghtnies , there is always a chance of ( hiding gas , if not oil , at some depth beneath Hie surface , determined by the particular formation which appeals at the surface. 5. Wherever the bituminous coal-beds have been changed Into anthraeilu or semi-bituminous coal , it is reasonable to suppose that the sumo agency which pro duced the change , whatever'it was , must have acted on the whole column of for mations , including any possible gas- rock at any depth. C. Wheiever oil reek has been found , there and in llio surrounding region rock gas is sure to exist. 1)1 i-l ) . Mc(5KK. ( Maggie , wife of John Mci jo , ngod 21 > ears.
