'The policj entered upon to defeat Omaha
is to create in the public mind n doubt as to
her ability to moct the conditions to make
such an unwarranted demand In the way ol
money nctu illy raised as to swamp and dis
courage the effort at the outset
1 Omaua In malting her plea before the

phasls to the pleasure it would afford her
citizens to invite tbo dclog ites as largely as
possible , to their homes that the } would be
cared for amply nnd royally \Voaronovv
told that , in presenting our case before this
commission for their final determination 01
the matter that entertaining any part o.
these delegates in our houses will not count
anj thine that the amount necessary to
meet the expense of at least TOO dologitos
for thirty days nt the best holds must bo
secured in advance. In oilier words , thai
thisi commission must leave the guarantee
of { 30 ( KM ) netuallv raised as the chief condi
tion of deciding on Omaha as tbo place for
the next session of the general confoienco
'It would seem from the cloir
reading of the dutj of this ton
mission of seven , that its v ork is chiefly
adv isory , and that , it is not called upon u
consider another place of holding the grand
conference until the place designated by
that body nolltles the commission of its inu
bllltj to moot Iho requited conditions
Omaha has agreed frcolj aud fullv to
meet all the requirements to turnish suita
bio buildings nnu to cntortain the delegates
roj ally nnd well , nnd it would deem from
every standpoint of Justice nnd fairness that
the matter ought not to bo f Hither qucs
tioncd As Omaha is the ouly city that has
voluntarily agreed to care for the genera
conference , it Is well understood In harmony
with the law of the chin c"i that If another
place is chosen bv this coal mission , tbo ux

reported \ourpapor , sceniol to mo at the
time of roidlng , a remarkable production
for roisons I shall ufttiruards state and gave
at the same time a good dial of food for ro-
flcction

If the rcmirks which I propose malting
savored at all of the polemical or donomln

them through your valuiblo Journal know
ing thai such discussion wouhlnotba ao-
cctable | to Iho columns of n great daily
However , as the thoughts suggested and
now ottered are outside denominational
lines and yet of moro than passing Interest ,
I venture to offer them.
L irst let me sav that on reading hh text ,

I take it that the words thus addressed to
Abraham werujneunt for him and bad a dis
tlnct and emphatic reference to him and bis
seed , and , whtlo I favor theii nplicalion ] ) to
tbo Antlo baxon race I do so because I am
satisfied thov are the people who rightfully
bv birtn and nationality inherit it
I regard it as stranco that Dr Merrill and
hosts of other clergymen nro BO willing to
take the promises givnn to Abraham and his
seed lorovor and apprnptiuto them vvliolu
sale to what , in tholr estimation. Is nothing
more than a modern evolution of nationality
If Dr Merrill nnd others whu think and
speak like him would identify the people
now In the unjoymcnt of the blessings nrom
ised to Abraham iiid his see 1 especially uud
oxcluslvnlj , with the children whoso In
hcritancQ is these promises nil would ba

wonderful Dromiscs fiom tlioir rightful
owners and cl\o them to these who in their
estimation , are not tha children of Abraham ,
then it Is time to call u halt

speaks of the possibility of these Melting *

suggestion is , I think , aor \ serious rclloc-
tiou on the reliability of the being whose
promises are under consideration. True ,
most of the promises were conditional , but
Hu having selected a people to bo the clmn.
nel through which Ho was to bless tue ba !

reiterated Ids decision In this respect It is
certain that Ho saw all possibilities of unlit-
ness or disqualification that mlUit arise and
made provision for adjusting nil and earn ing
out His design und securing Ilia own fclory
Dr. Merrill declares that \vo nro standing
on tbo ede | of u great era that God Is do

doctor , that is not u recent decision of the
Almlfchtj. Ho had decided uon | that when ,

Ho further says that upon out faithfulness
