Tlie Pulpit and llio Press.
Yesterday morning Kev. W. II. Vfj Kecs
addressed u large audience at Broadway
Mctliodlst chureli , upon the newspapers of
the country. The address was the first of a
scries on "Tlio Press1' which the reverend
gentleman will deliver nt Intervals hereaf
ter.
" 'Set a wrxtchninn , let him declare what ho
sccth , ' was the divine eommnnd , " said the
speaker , "and It lltly illustrates the position
of the newspaper of today. Anyone might
ns well attempt to calculate tlio power of
the nvahirtclio as to tell what Is tlie power of
tlio newspaper. H reaches man on every
side ami at every possible point of contact.
It comes Into the homo and whimpers tooti ,
alone. Science , art , philosophy , ethics , lln-
mice , politics , and a hundred other subjects
nro discussed hoforo you. Tlio editor is a
monocrnt. Ho occupies a throne of power
and you are willingly or unwillingly ruicd
by his scepter , llo comes to you as a
poet , a philosopher , n scientist. Ho presents
you models in soclalogy , morals and law.
You are his subject his pupil , If jou will.
You cannot have a thought or speak a word
which the newspaper has not spoken , sug
gested or Inspired. The freshly printed
sheet , coming damp from the Dress , gives us
an lulook Into the material and religious con
ditions existing In other lands than ours ,
lleforo wo begin the active duties of the day
wo may know the essential things pertaining
to all lands and peoples and note how God's
government is spreading on earth. The
newspaper goes everywhere. Into the home ,
the counting room , the factory , to the mer
chant amid tils wares and to the farmer at
hit plow. It is the herald of government ,
the handmaid of religion. It livings the race
into the closest contact. Uoundarics aiu
swept aside , space is annihilated , time Is ob
literated and you are imido ono of the com
mon whole. "
The speaker then addressed hlmsciC to a
discussion of thc'-o points : First , the news
paper provokes thought ; second , ttio news
paper is what its readers make It ; third , the
newspaper as an educational force in
society. "Tho editor 1ms the eye of
a lynx , " said he. "All places
and people1 , all times and conditions , are his
proper domain. Ho places overyttiing into
the position of contributors to his columns.
All this men read , rolled upon and then act
us they choose. The work of the editor i
not to write homilies but to give the news. "
AB thu paper is "what you make it , " the
speaker urged that a high moral stamlard bo
demanded by the people. The power of the
newspaper in defending the right or In as
sisting the wrong was fully developed. In
nn editor fearlessness is necessary , also con
sideration and charity. "It is easy to edit a
blackguard sheet , but to edit a newspaper re
quires bruins , nerve , devotion to principle ,
untiring labor and sarnllcc. No body of men
do so much work and receive so little pay as
newspaper men. " Ho went on to say that a
reading , intelligent , progressive man could
be told by llio looks of his farm and stock ;
his house and garden ; his store and goods.
A live paper is the only one that lives and
succeeds. It does not live in the past. It
does not sail in the ark , but Is on board the
fast mull train , speeding its way to its dis
tant readers who are anxiously awaiting its
arrival.
Mr. Kces then presented a distinct classili
cation of the papers of the day , and showed
in the imsitlous occupied by each class , and
in the kind of material of which each is com
posed , which are bast lilted to live as the promoters
meters of good among moil. The society
paper was of little beneilt to anyone. The
sporting paper was an abomination. The in
dependent paper had no legitimate place in
the world. In closing , he made a strong plea
for discretion , honesty and cleanliness in the
discussions of the political campaign upon
which we are now nro now entering. Let
principle bo above men and Cod's honor
be above all.
The God ol * the Nation ,
Last evening the first of the summon union
services was held In the First Baptist
church. Hev. lr. I'helps , of the Prcsby-
tcilun church , delivered the sermon. The
discourse was of a religious , patriotic nature ,
quite appropriate to the Sunday preceding
the celebration of the nation's anniversary.
He chose as his text psalm 2a , 2S : "Ho is
the governor among the nations , " and spoke
as follows :
"I had occasion to say nt the funeral to-day
that God rules over the flight of n bird , the
fall of u sparrow , the dropping of a hair
from a human head , the movement of the
human hand , the path of the arrow , speeding
to its mark , and of the flying bullet , and its
results. Hut the Hiblo teaches still farther ,
that Ho docth as Ho pleases in the armies of
heaven and among the Inhabitants of the
earth. Hero it teaches that God is governor
among the nations. That is , in the minutest
or the vastest alliurs , in the narrowest or
widest circles of influence ; over individuals
and among natii'iis , ho ruloth. Hy this text
I desire to introduce the theme , God's dual-
ing witli the nations , or Gud's ' supremacy
over nations. The theme is appropriate from
the fact that thu anniversary of our national
independence is so near at mind. There uro
many things that ought to bo said at such a
time from thu Christian pulpit , in addition to
what is said by the orators on the Fourth of
.1 illy , things that are not likely to bo said nt
Fourth of .Inly celebrations. I shall speak
of His dealings with am lent nations that we
may from them learn lessons for our nation
of to-day. I begin with Egypt. "
The speaker then spoke of it as possibly
the most ancient nation ; as having the
longest catalogue of kings ; us having left so
many monuments which are still standing ;
as having ruled over many other nations ;
as "tho granary of the world , " it was so
fertile ; as having , as it is said , 20,000 cities
and an almost incredible population. Ho
traced God'n dealings with it in the -history
of Joseph , aud thu Pharoahs ; the settlement
there of thu children of Israel and their
enslavement and God's ' punishment of the
great nation for it. Ho quoted several of
the prophecies now fulfilled in the debased
condition of Egypt among the nations , and
In its having been ruled over so many hun
dreds of year * by foreign piinces Instead ol
any royal family of its own ,
The next was Assyria and Nineveh ,
destroyed BO utterly , according to God's '
predictions , and for their wickedness that
for 2WH ) years , until the last fifty yearn , its
very blto was lost and could not be found ,
although it once was a city sixty miles in
circumference and defended by a wall UK
feet high with 1,500 towers , each 200 feel
hitfh.
He then spoke of Habylon , the greatest
city of the caith , as the center of the power
ful Chaldean kingdom. Its greatness was
described UK ) years before an enemy had ovui
set foot within Its walls , except us captii'cs ,
Isaiah predicted its overthrow , even naming
thu man who should first conquer it , Cyrus ;
and thu nations which ho should lead agninsi
Hubylon , and thu very weapons with whicli
they should tight , and thu peculiar mode ol
taking the city. Cyrus took it by turning
thu Euphrates from Its channel , and march
ing his army into thu city through thu nvci
buil. The city was destroyed because of itt
wickedness. Its present desolate condition ,
when it has become thu lair of the wilt
beast , was predicted by the Hebrew prophet !

the city of New Tyre , whu'h was on an Islam
half u mile out in the sea. He also spoke h ;
passing , of Homo and its fulling when It at
tempted to throttle infant Christianity in its
cradle.
Ho then drew the ICRSOI.B ; that Hod deal ?

llev. John Doxac-hcr , familiarly known as
"Father John , " the much-beloved pioneer
Driest of this city , ycstcrday cclcbrntcd the
.wenty-flfth anniversary of his lifu in the
iiriesthood. As ho was the first priest to
: iavc charge of the Hock in this city , Hev.
Adolph Wesscliug , O. S. H , pastor of St.
[ 'clot's , thought it eminently proper that
father John should preach his anniversary
sermon here , when ; ho labored for live years
to build u Catholic church , mid where tils
work was crnvned with so much success.
Accordingly , that venerable priest was in
duced to visit this city yesterday and
ottieiati.'d as colehrnnt at high mass , and
iftciw.ird gave u brief review of his work
licro and thu dirtlcultics under which ho la
bored.
When he came hero there was no residence
for a priest mid he dwelt in the lower part of
thu bell tower witli his brother. The con
gregation was at that time too poor to fur
nish anything better. The church w.is then
Llio old structure recently torn down opposite
the court house , between Main mid Pearl
streets , although it was much smaller than
In later years. He afterwards undertook its
enlargement , and mi addition was built to
the east end. It was duo to his vigorous
work that the brick residence on Main street ,
until recently occupied by Father Mc-
Menotny , was built , and ho was compelled to
assume individually the indebtedness for the
the material. The congivgrntion was small
and money was not as plenty us it might
liavu been. Father John found it rather up
hill work getting subscriptions , and wns
compelled to seek outside assistance , mid
canvassed the country out along thu line of
the Northwestern railway. Ho was determ
ined to succeed , and finally the necessary
Amount was raised. Considerable time had
been spent in all this work and shortly after
it was completed the labors of the
worthy priest in this city were
brought to a close , as he was
sent to another charge as missionary in
northern Dakota. Alter several changes in
an unusually busy life for twenty years , he
is now located in Omalm , where ho has
charge of the Sisters' hospital. He was in
this city a few months ago , mid participated
in the dedicatory services of St. Peter's
church , the beautiful structure in which ho
yesterday addressed a very largo congrega
tion , many of whom were hero twenty-live
years ago when he first came here to take
charge of the interests of the church. He
was unable to spend the day with friends on
this side of the river , and returned to Omaha
immediately after the services.
As a slight expression ol the good will felt
toward "Father John , " and as a pleasing re
minder of the anniversary , his friends yes
terday presented him with an elegant cane ,
appropriately inscribed. Ho will doubtless
carry it with Justillahle pride.

The Police Hound Up.
For several days past business in police
circles has been unusually dull , but there
was a change in the programme Saturday
evening , twelve arrests being made during
the night. Tom Higgins was drunk , aud as
soon ns he sobered up he deposited S".GO and
was released. Peter Peterson and G.
Swunson were charged with disturbing the
peace , and were locked up to await the
arrival of the judge this morning. George
Uoper was booked for assault with intent to
do great bodily injury. Mike Phelps
disregarded the larceny law and was also

with dinner. Thu Hardins of Omaha and
the Council Hluffs team played in the after

A SAD ROMANCE INDEED.C3I
Kemarlcalilo Outcome of llio Jilting
of lieutenant Keins.
Rein's Landing , on St. Joseph's island ,
opposite the sailor.-i' oneuinpnient in the
Son river , is always pointed out in a ,
trip up the stream ; hut time mid new
generations hconi to have obliterated
thu romantic epihodu that makes it the
most interesting alontf the beautiful
shore. It is now nioro than u hundred
yours since young Lieutenant Reins , in
the borviee of his majesty the king of
linglaml , fell hcnd over heels in love
with n beautiful pirl , the daughter of a
country faquiro in ono of the shires
near London. The attachment scorned
to bo reciprocated , and the young of
ficer trusted hi ? betrothed with a con
fidence worthy of n bettor woman , for
the young lady , having many admirers
and'being somewhat of a coquette , at
length fell a victim to a designing and
worthless scamp who managed ono day ,
by submitting fnlno proofs of her lover's
disloyalty , to induce her to elope with
him.

seemed to quito break the young man's
heart. lie rallied , however , and boon
obtained leave to join the British forces
in America , who wore engaged in war
with the French and Indians. It was
in this service that , half reckless of his
life , ho exhibited daring and bravery
which gained for him the rank of major.
It was also in this service that he dis
covered the grandeur and beauty of the
grout lakes and their bordering
bcenory , and it was hero that ho ro-
solvcd , when his commission should ex
pire , to live the remainder of his days
away from the world. Some .years
afterward , when he hud secured his re
lease from the f-orvicc and was about to
nut his resolution into effect , having
? joan allotted a pension , ho received
one day from Montreal u loiter bearing
thu postmark of his old English home.
The letter proved to have been
dictated and was to the ctTeet
that his former love , betrayed
and deserted by her hushandviib on
her dentil bed , but could not die with
out again bucking his forgiveness , and
ended by committing to his euro her
two daughters , aged twelve and four
teen respectively , and imploring him to
watch oyor them for her sake. Ho hes

his heart , as it docs ever in a mini's
heart for a wayward Ipvo , and the next
day found him on his way to old Kng-

It was ono day after securing his

America. So , calling the two beautiful
girls to him , the oldest a , tall blonde ,
just budding into womanhood , ho un
folded a glowing plan , to which the
girls intido no objections , and within
two weeks the party bailed for Mon
treal , whence the tWee journeyed to
St. Joseph's island , in the St. Mary's
river , and settled for life. Whether
