He was working for Dunbar & Co. . of

Slioulil Methodists Attend Theatre * ?
This was the sublcct selected by the Kcv.
W. II. W. Hcei for his discourse yesterday
morning. The text which served ns the
Dnsis of the subject was St. Paul's injunc
tion : "Abstain from all appearances of
evil. " Said tlio speaker : Every amuse-
ncnt which Invites the suspicion of chris-
Inns most invites the attention of this bible
.cxt. The theatre invltrs the attention of
the Christian world on account of ( ho in
creased and possibly Increasing attendance
of piofcsscd Christians upon this form of
amusement. Those who plead for the theatre
plead for it upon the ground of wishing to
see developed nn ideal theatre , one from
wh'ch ' all objectionable features shall bo
eliminated. This plea admits the fact that
such an one IH not that of the picsont , and
further , you can't have mi ideal theatre.
Why ? Following this demand , all your
ilnys must bo ideal plays. They must ex-
liibit the purest thoughts , speech and action.
They must not have the taint or suspicion
of sin. You must have ideal performers-
persons who are leaders in social nncl moral
movements. Ynu must have ideal audiences
such as these plays and players would at
tract. Those wlio go now would not then at
tend , for there is nothing attractive to the
theater L'oer in this sort of a play or perform
ance. N on must have ideal costumes such
as arc seen in the parlors of home. As it is
now , instead of such dresses and such cos
tumes , there is frequently no costume at all.
Instead of too much there is too little. There
is about as much resemblance between the
real and the ideal theatre as there is between
a Council Bin Its politician and Abraham
Lincoln and that you will all grant , is very
small indeed.
1 am opposed to the theater for several rea
sons. First , because the lending secular pa
pers of the country are against it. The Chicago
cage Inter-Ocean , Times , Tribune , New
York Herald and other leading papers of the
east and west speak boldly against its im
morality. They say it is not tin institution
where good morals are taught ; that there is
no close relation between the theater and
morals. Of course , these papers , and all
others , are paid largo sums to advertise
shows of this nature , but they do not give
them their sanction. The testimony gained
here is indeed valuable from the fact that
these papers do i/tt / champion religion , but
view all matters of morals from a purely
moral standpoint. Neither do they cham
pion sin , for whatever they give In their
columns that appertains in this connection ,
they give purely as items of news. This is all
the value there is in it for them
outside of the money they get from their ad
vertising columns. The secular papers tire
supposed to stand for and represent the mor
als of the country , and they give unqualified
testimony against the theatre. Now let mo
asltjou , if the best morals of the world's
people condemn it , is il a proper place for a
godly man or woman !
I am opposed to it , because If the placards
and bills which decorate the bill-boards are
a ftiir representation of the plays themselves
they must bo damnable indeed. The morals
of the country arc being corrupted by these
foul and licentious pictures. The authori
ties of the largo cities have taken the matter
In hand and proclaim against the evil.
In Chicago they have ordered the com
panies who have the mutter in charge to
make their bill boards better and cleaner.
Anything which is not right and proper tn bo
seen or exhibited in the parlor of your homes
is not proper to bo seen in the theater. In the
light ol these facts what a spectacle is pre
sented when men and women who , by
by their vows , are pledged to save men , are
found before the boards whereon are pre
sented exhibitions which would bring the
blush of shame to the child of purity if seen
anywhere except in the theater. All such
plays and exhibitions of this nature are evil
m their tendency. I do not say that all plays
and all actors are immoral ; that there arc
are not those who present and represent the
best elements of character. There is a
great difference between Booth and Barrett
and others of that class , and the plays
they piesent , and these to which I most par
ticularly refer , and yet ! ) . " > per cent of all the
plays , that are produced by the play writer
iiiul enacted upon the stage are impure. "
At this point the speaker produced an ex
cerpt from one of Tiilmnge's opinions of
various American plays now holding the
boards of New York and Brooklyn. Ho con
tinued : "Suppose this Methodist church
should select one of these plays -tho best of
the lot the members of the church play the
characters and the church be lilted up for the
play ; what would you say ? Why , that the
church was hard up for means to elevate and
entertain its members. . And if they should
afterward have n revival ( and they would
need ono afterward pretty soon , too.
would you want these who had
taken pait in the play to come to
yon and invite you to begin a
religious life ! My friends , you cannot do
both. You cannot servo God and go to the
devil's play-houbo. Will yon identify your
self with a thing'J5 per cent of which is evil
and only 5 per cent possessed of that which
can by any possibility do you the least good ?
The theater sustains about the same relation
to an evil life tlmtvarioloid docs to the small
pox , and when you have the smallpox you
then think that you are all right , and thunk
Oed If you haven't got the measles too. You
cannot follow the practice of the play house
without taking into your system moral
miasma. Don't do it. God's side is the side
of health , and it is not in the theater.
Theater going isn't healthful to Christian
life. I am not saying anything
about what a liaptist , Congrcgational-
ist or Episcopalian may or may not
do , but thin 1 do say : It is not con
ducive to Methodist religion , and I am
strongly of the opinion that what is not good
for a Methodist is equally harmful to a
Christian of any other name. Let mo ask
you , when you were at the theater the last
time and looked upon that woman whoso
clothing was hardly suflleient for purposes of
decency , did you feel a. thrill of religious
ecstasy as jou did during the last revival
services , and did you pray God she might
icprcsent the character she was portraying
with truthfulness I I do not say you must
always fcul like shouting. The stars don't
say anything , but they do keep right on shin
ing Just the same. You may engage
in your innocent amusements and
have the consciousness of Uiu approval
of God. These amusements which your con
science docs not condemn and which God
approves you can nslt the blessings of God
upon. Tins Is a safe rule , Wherever you
cannot co and ask God to bless you in
going is perfectly safe to keep away from ,
and whenever you are in any doubt in the
matter give your own soul the bcnctlt of the
doubt. There are nlonty of lines in which
you may have legitimate and healthful recre
ation and amusement without entering the
very doubtful ono of attending the theater ,
It the theater isn't helpful to Christian
living it is harmful. The theater must not
be Judged by a slnglo play or actor , but by
what its indncnca Is as a whole. If it
does not save souls it destroys them.
The majority of the churches are a unit in
opposing it. To bo sure thcro are those
which allow their members to attend thea
tres , balls , etc. , but they also set apart forty
days before Easter in which they say their
members must abstain from thosn things ,
Why is this prohibition Imposed 1 What is
good for the soul at ono time of the year Is
good at another season. Now , the only con
clusion is that they admit the wrongfulncss
of the practice and hs-nco prohibit it. This
practice of theatre-guing js sapping the spirit
ual lifo of the churches.
1 am opposed to the theatre last , because
the people of the world say it is no place for
a chribluin to go. It Is always safe to abstain
.from what the world's people say a church
member ought not to practico.
I don't condemn all theatres , but admitting
there are some thatarogood , would you want
your daughter to associate with or marry an
actor ) If you are conscientiously seeking to
do God's will you will jind enough ways of
healthful amusement without having to go
to the world for it.

clslon nilil contempt. The ' laclT of cbngruity
was n nKjjk of lack of 'culture. Among the
jarbarians one cspCctad to find n lack of har
mony and cohslstcncy In ircss and custom ,
As soon ns men recognized the incongruous
relation of things , so soon they were dis
pleased. It would not do to have n minstrel
: ompany enter n church on Sunday , po
Lhrough Its performance and call It a kind of
worship. Everybody would be displeased at
such incongruity. All could see the incon
sistency of a prince dressing like n pauper , or
n queen being clad slatternly. Men would
not build a barn for the legislative hall of a
rich and cultured nation. The law of congruity -
gruity was everywhere recognized In human
society. God hnd made it manifest In the
world of nature. Everything hnd a place ,
and when in that place it was conforming
with this law. Thcro was ns much beauty In
the dcwdrop upon the prlmroso ns In the
waters of the mighty deep.
As in the material worlds so Inthospirltuol.
There was the like law and It was in accord
ance with this that men everywhere llko to
see consistency.
The preacher then proceeded to outline
some of the most important of "tho things
: hat accompany salvation. " Ho deemed sal
vation to bo more than 11 mere escape from
.he results of sin , It was the now lilo which
was the more essential salvation the dovel-
opcmcnt of new and better purposes and n
lower life.
Ono of the things that should occupy salva
tion was that longing affcr God , which the
ibalmlst compared to the heart longing after
. .hevatcr brooks. Another accompaniment
was the earnest search for God and for the
truth.
Still another was the true moral life , and
another was the earnest endeavor to save
others.
These points were strongly brought out as
among these consistent accompaniments of
tli.it salvation which is presented Sunday
after Sunday so practically and forcibly
from this pmlpit.
POP Social 1'iivlty.
Thcro wcro two meetings held last evening
in the interests of the White Cross move
ment. Ono was for the men alone , held in
the Presbyterian church , the oilier for the
ladies , in the Baptist church. At the meet-
iug for the men Kcv. Mr. Uccs scoicd the
city oillcials , and especially Mayor Hohrer ,
very sharply for not enforcing the prohib
itory and other laws. The following portions
tions of his address indicate sufllcicntly the
in which ho pictured vice in this
city :
The social evil in Council Bluffs has as
sumed great proportions. It is a cancer on
Lho body of our social lifo. Think of ten
bawdy houses in our city , having in them
from three to live women , each paying a
hush money h'no of $5 per head , and tlio
keepers ot these houses $10 each. Then
there are nearly as many more who pay no
fines , having from ono to three inmates , and
run the risk of arrest and line. There is ono
road house , not fur from the city , with a res
taurant feeder on Broadway. Men who tire
so disposed can spend a day or night at this
house , or rent a bed for himself and some
vile creature he may take with him and
spend Irom $5 to $10 in the surrender of his
manhood. Some would-be respectable men
are frequent visitors to these places. There
are certain hackmcn who know all these
places , and do a good business in carrying
patt ous to them. , More than this : There is
hardly a day passes but pretended faithful
husbands are guilty of co-habiting with other
than their own faithful unsuspecting wives.
And yet these same men and women move in
the respectable circles of society , and to all
appearances are pure and virtuous. Friends.
the "evil" in our midst is a gigantic evil , and
demands most vigorous measures to rout
it and drive it from our picsenco.
I would make it as disreputable for a man
to despoil a fair maiden as it is now for tiio
maiden thus despoiled. To-day the young
man to whom the outcast owes her ruin is
received into the best society , and is courted
by silly mothers for their marriageable
daughters , while the poor unfortunate is
kicked out of society and forced by the
wrongs of society ( and largely these of her
own sex ) , into a lifo of shame. If society is
going to ostracise the woman who has been
the victim of unfortunate circumstances , let
them go a little further and kick out the
treacherous villain with her. Make him a
partner in her shame. Wo ought to make
vigorous efforts to rid our society of tlio
awful plague. I am in favor of a crusade
not only against the violations of law in our
city , but against the men whose sworn duty
it is to enforce the law and do not do it.
Card of TlmiikH.
We take this opportunity of returning our
sincere thanks to all the kind friends in
cluding sisters of St. Bernard's hospital ,
school teachers and classmates for their
sympathy extended to Mamie during her
sickness , death and funeral.
And wo deem it proper to say that some
six months ago she became a member of our
family , and by her gentleness and sweetness
of disposition endeared herself to us to an
extent only second to that of our own
children. When her misfortune became ap
parent and she clung to us in her extremity ,
our sympathy went out to shield and encourage -
courage her to overcome the mistake of her
youth and inexperience. Wo committed her
temporarily to the care of the sisters , with
tlio privilege of visiting and assisting her
when possible , hoping soon to have her re
stored to us. But a higher powi'r that more
than eighteen centuries ago said "Neither do
1 condemn thco" called her , and after ex-
pnjssing thanks to all for their kindness and
making requests ns to her funeral , she re
ceived baptism and said , "I can now die con
tent , " and as the night of Thursday waned ,
surrounded by friends , she peacefully passed
over to meet her sainted mother in a better
world whore all mistakes are rectillcd and all
wrongs righted , and it will bo a comfort in
our declining years to know that that young
wounded spirit never received an unkind
word from us. II. II. AND S. E. FIELD.

A Newspaper In Trouble.
The Council Bluffs Evening Herald has for
some time been having a struggle to keep its
head above cold water , of which it has been
so earnest an advocate , being the recognized
organ of the prohibition party. Saturday
thcro were several Judgments entered against
it for paper and material bought of eastern
houses. These Judgments amounted to about
? 1'JOO. Executions wcro to bo Issued , but it
was said ttmt the establishment was execu
tion-proof , thcro Doing a chattel mortgage
upon it for fi.Y-00. Yesterday County Treas
urer I'lumcr was in charge of the establish
ment to secure the payment of about ? : iOO

was closed up and the Herald folks now say
that they sco their way clear to po on with
the business as usual. The lay tlio scizvro of

Yesterday morning , about ! o'clock , n Union
Pacific yard man , by the name of Uuteher ,
was caught between the bumpers of two
freight cats and severely Injured. Dr.
Cleaver , the company's physician , was sent
for. Examination rovcaled the fact that the
back and hips of the unfortunate man were
badly crushed. Ho was taken to his homo
on on Third street , where all possible atten
tion was secured. At this tlmo it is impossi

Thcro is a postibility of internal injuries
which may prove fatal , and should he recover
he may be a cripple for life.
