THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SUNDAY , 'JUKJjJ 8 , I8mj-aiXTJJJJJJJN .THE MASONIC GRAND LODGE , Ita Next Meeting will bo Hold in this City June 18. 'A MOST IMPORTANT CONVOCATION , vWK. Itwill Into Consideration the Concerning tlio Scot- Itlto which Una At- truutctlHuoh Attention. The Grand lodge , A. F. < fe A. M. , of this fltato convenes in this city on Juno 18. Tills will bo the mast important session of this body In the history of Masonry in this state ns It will bo called upon to consider und act upon the question which hai been dragged into nearly every grand ledge in the United States that of the Scottish rite. At its last session , the grand ledge passed n * resolution declaring "a grand ledge of Free nnd Accepted Masons is nn , independent nnd sovereign body , recognizing and having- nupromo Jurisdiction over no other degrees than those of the blue lodge , " and resolving further : "That this grand lodge expressly declines to enter upon any discussion of the hlstory.uso or legitimacy of any bodies claim ing to confer what Is known as the Scottish rite degrees , or to bo committed to the recog nition of any such body , or to the recognition of any body conferring any degrees over which this grand ledge has no control , as being Masonic or as being a part of Ancient Craft Masonry. " To thl.i resolution was added two clauses taken from the address of thu grand master , stating : " 1. That two bodies claiming to bo Masonic , of the sumo grade , cannot lawfully exist in the same state nt the same time. " 2. That the first lawfully-constituted authority established In n state thereby ob tains exclusive jurisdiction in such territory , nnd that any other body of the same grade or rite entering within such territory is in itself unlawful. " In spite of the declaration of the grand- lodge that It declined to discuss the Scottish rite question or bo committed to the rec ognition of any Scottish rite body. Grand Master Mercer , under date of July 20. issued his famous edict No. 1 , Rtatlug dint , "In order that the uninformed may know the action of the grand ledge and its decl iratlons respecting the status of 'Ccrneaiilsm' and of the bodies of its obedi ence , wo do hereby ofilrinlly declare nnd make known to you that the only legitimate nnd lawfully constituted authority of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish rite within the state of Nebraska Is that of the -southern Jurisdiction for the United States , presided over by Brother Albert Pike , and that all others not acknowledging allegiance , to the said southern jurisdiction nre unlawful and clandestine. " It was directed that this edict bo posted la the ante-room of each ledge and read at three consecutive regular meetings. Nebraska ledge No. 1 , the oldest in the state , and one composed of members of all four Scottish rite bodies , entered u vigorous protest against this arbitrary action of the grand master. A series of resolutions was passed and sent to the grand master and all lodges in the state. Ono passage stated that ' This action of Grand Master John J. Mercer is not only in defiance of the expressed will of our grand lodge , but is designed to Impose 4- upon undent craft Masonry now and unwar ranted qualifications ; it plainly indicates a dosiru and intention on his part , so far ns ho can use his position for that purpose , to make niL-mlKjrslrfn In certain Scottish rite bodies ulTcct and determine the standing and quali fications of ancient craft Masons. Abiding by the ancient charge that it is not In the power of any man or body of men to make innovations in the body of Masonry , we ex pressly deny the existence of any authority in our grand master to impose upon Masonry miy new qualifications. " For thus daring tooxcrclso the prerogatives ot free American citizens , and lor daring to criticise the action of the grand master , the latter caused the charter of the lodge to be seized and the lodge suspended. Consideration of this action on the part of the grand master will also come before thu grand lodgo. In this connection the following extract from the proceedings of the grand ledge of New York , reciting part of the report of the committee on foreign correspondence of tlio grand lodge , may bo of interest : "Tho grand ledge is supreme within its Jurisdiction , but uot in fallible. It Is composed of men who , though Masons , nro of like pas sions with other men and us liable to error. Wo are believers in nou-intorforciico with the exercise of that jurisdiction in any other way , or for any purpose , than the general benefit , protection or safety of the craft. "Grand lodges are .not jrassesscd of abso lute , unquestioned aud despotic power. There never was n time In ancient craft Ma sonry when even u grand master had any Much authority ns that. The craft are free Masons. They nro not , and never were slaves. Indeed the bondman could never bo a crafts man , as he was not free born. " So when n grand master ( whether his mo tives bo pure and good , or bad and indecent ) officially declares that master Masons have forfeited Inherent Masonic , privileges because - cause they decline to surrender civio rights which do not trench on their duty and loyalty to ancient craft Masonry , his order is Impor tant , according to the views of the grand lodge of Now York. Ts the grand master of Nebraska so infallible that Masons In this state have no rights ho is bound to respect ) Tlio following officers were elected for the ensuing year l > y the various blue lodges in Ihls city and will bo installed at the July reg- Qlar : .

It will bo laid ut the north- cast corner of the building. The Iowa Grand The annual session of the grand ledge of Iowa , last week hold at Ottumwa , was prob ably the modt important and decidedly most exciting of any In the history of the Masonic Ardor In Iowa. Ono entire day was spent in n. heated discussion of the Scottish Hlto con troversy , aud there wits hardly an hour dur ing the other sessions. In which there was not apparent some outcropping of the feeling caused by this controversy having been dragged Into tlio blue lodge. The ofllclal ma- chlnery of thu grand ledge was evidently under control of tha southern Jurisdiction , and In sympathy with Pike's determination to crush out CernoauLtm by any moans possl- ble. The ablest legal minds In Iowa wcro secured - ' cured for this purpose , attorneys who were ' thoroughly conversant with MosOnlu jurisprudence - prudence , us well ns the clvlo law , and this combination had spent a large portion of tlio year In u concentration of thought In framing such changes in the code as would leava no possible loophole through which any cunning C'orncuii Mason might escape.Vlth tl\o \ powerful influence of the grand lodge officers to secure t lie passage and en forcomont of sueh a law , it looked us if thomifortunato Corucau members had no jxisslblo chance for u fair hearing , mueh less for any further Masonic life. They found many champions , however , for the policy of nou-luterferenco. Among those who openly 'midearnestly advocated such a pollov , and who fought against the adaption of the proposed . law , there was one of the southern Jurisdiction members , Dr. Gullbert , of Dubuquc , wl'o received hUThlrty-thlnJ de gree from the htuuts of Albert Piku himself. Dr. Guilbort Is past grand master of Iowaund has held numberous other prominent | K l. tlons , and t.s ranked as one of the host [ iiwtPd Masons In the west. He earnestly urged the policy of non-lntorfervnca Another earnest advocate was Mr. Temple of Osceola , who wu olertod junior grand wurdon , Oiliurs , who llkewUu were In no way connected with CeriiPauUm took the [ waltlou boldly that tha blue lodge should have nothing U > do with the controversy. Tha filial vote was close , the majority In favor of the now law being only JOH. the total votabclnff laV5. 'Ihonowlawl3ii38ovoronsit could possl- blybomade. H makes the OfTonso of being " Usrnrau member greater than tiny In the list of Masonicoffenses. . It provides n moro sum mary and despoticnl mode of treatment than was over adopted In this republic by any clvlo society. Any Mason susi > ected ot being it member of Iho United State * consistory , com monly called tno Ccnicau bodv , must file with the grand secretary a renunciation of the con sistory , and "renew" his allegiance to the grand lodge , practically admitting that helms proved recreant and virtually acknowledging his guilt. If ha falls to do so before August 1 next ho Is llablo to discipline. Such renun ciation nlono will protect him , and even after the date fixed , at any ttmo be fore the decree of expulsion is ut tered , ho thus renounces and thus renews his allegiance ho will bo spared. If. however , ho docs not make 'such humiliating nnd false avowal of previous disloyalty nnd present submission , ho is liable to bo tried. The pow'cr is taken from the subordinate bodies and placed entirely In the hand ot the grand , master. The grand master serves notlco on the suspected brother , mid If such notlco is ignored , or n pica Is not filed within the tlmo stated In such notice , the grand master must expel him , nnd that ends the matter , the grand ledge itself having no further power In the case. Hctico there is no appeal from this ono-mun power. The same Is true if the ac cused should enter a plea of gulltv of being n Cerncau member. Tiicro is no chance given for raising any question of jurisdiction , or any other question than the simple ono of whether the accused is u member of a Ccr- ncau body. If the accused pleads not guilty , the grand master susiwiuls the accused until the next meeting of the grand lodge , and se lects throe men of his own choosing , to take siic.li evidence ) as Is deemed necessary on the simple question of whether the accused Is n Ccmoau Mason. The place of trial is left to the discretion of the grand master. The finding of the committee with the evidence Is reported to the next grand lodge , and if the evidence taken by the committee is to the ef fect that tha accused Is n Ccrneau Mason the decree of expulsion must follow. The new law might have seemed so obnox ious and tyrannical as to jeopardize its pass age had it not been for a provision which on thu service cunningly offset this tendency. The new law provides that any Ccrneau mem ber not desiring to bo thus disciplined can take a demit from tlio blue lodge before August 1. If ho thus elects to take a demit he cannot afterwards join any ledge In Iowa unless ho makes the numlliatlng renunciation nnd confession and gets absolved. The cede also provides that any non-affiliating Mason living within the jurisdiction of the grand ledge may bo tried for a Masonic offense , the same ns though ho was nn alllliating Mason. Had the members of the grand ledge fully realized the force and import of this tyranni cal law it would huvo been defeated without doubt , and the prediction is made that the next grand ledge will repeal it. It practically drives out of the blue lodges of Iowa six or seven hundred of Its best members. Others , too , who are not Cerneau men. will take demits , or at least they so now declare , being so Indignant at the tyrannical action taken. There is ou all sides to bo heard the prediction that the grand ledge has launched Itself on the stormiest sea of troubles that any society ever tried to cross. Sectary Parviu's report on foreign corre- sl' ° iuienco indicates that the action of Iowa instead of securing the desired harmony is aggravating the troubles to such un extent that Iowa will soon bo involved in controver sies with other states. Connecticut , for in stance , critizised the action of Iowa , and Scc- rotarv Parvin in his report makes u dirty , obscene - scene attack on prominent members of that Jurisdiction. Past/ Master Robbins of Illinois , who for twenty years or moro has been Iowa's reprcsentativo there , was also attacked very bitterly by Secretary Parvin , who charges certain citations made by Hobbins as for geries. Ho also charges Robbius with mis representing Iowa , and with having no au thority to speak for Iowa , although pretend ing so to have. The report of Secretary Par vin is quite a largo pamphlet , is printed at the expense of the grand ledge and is full of billingsgate nnd epithets At its close there Is given what ho terms a "black list , " it being the names of a largo number of Masons ot Iowa , who are supposed to bo Cerneau mem bers. By what authority these men are pub lished to the world as being enrolled on a Masonic black list Is not apparent , for none of them have had. an opportunity of being tried , or of having oven a hearing as to the question of their guilt or innocence of any of- fenso. The publication shows the spirit which actuates those who have determined to crush Ccrneauism in Iowa. Is niimonry on tlio Decline ? Quito a lively excitement has been created at the west through an assertion by some prophetic dignitary that Masonry in the United States is ou the decline , and that it will before the termination of the next cen tury become wholly extinct , says Colonel Thomas Picton in the New York Mercury. Ho bases his prediction upon contemplation of the rapid growth of cognate associations and their remarkable , increase in number. Ho furthermore relics especially upon the finan cial attractions the now societies present and the slight expense attending membership in them. Of coin-so the enthusiastic Mason of the period cannot bo made to harbor the thought of a possibility in his fraternity's ex tinction , still few of the older and less san- guluo brethren can deny that Masonry , so far from augmenting In popularity proportion ately to increase in population , has been an nually losing ground , as can bo exemplified through enumeration of non-alllliates yearly dropping from ledge rolls. Honestly speak ing , Masourv has never fairly survived the shock bestowed upon it by the Morgan excite ment , while the conduct of the craft since cessation of that damaging furore has not been , such as to remove prejudices against the institution then engendered or to restore com lldenco In Its social advantages. Wo find in tlio order vcrv few of the descendants of dis tinguished citizens , shining , in their day , as bright lights amid the craftsmen , nnd this one fact constitutes n subject for meditation. K. ofr. The following amendments to the constitu tion of the grand lodge , passed nt the hist ses sion , Inivo been approved by the grand chan cellor and nro now in full force and effect : Amendment to section 19 , referring to the duties of grand chancellor ; "Ho shall have power to Issue his dispensation for the fol lowing purposes only , collecting the legal fee therefor : To propose , elect and initiate at the same meeting ; to confer moro than ono rank ou the same person at the same meeting ; to Initiate a person fifty years of ago or over ; to permit lodges to hold their meetings at in tervals longer than 0110 week ; to 'havo pub lic displays us a ledge or In the name of the order. " Section 10 , on forfeiture of representation , Is amended by adding the following : "Pro vided , that the grand ledge may for good causa shown , giant representation to such lodge. " Section ill , referring to supreme representa tion , is amended by adding the following : "In case of vacancy occurring in the office of supreme representative , during the recess of the grand lodge , by death , removal from office , resignation , or. inability to attend , the lodge. " Section 40 , referring to district deputy grand chancellor. Is amended to read , "Ho shall have power in his district to grant such dispensations as the grand chancellor Is au thorized to issue , collecting the legal fee there for. " Section 09 , article 0 , amended by striking out the words "where charge Is made. " Section 7 , constitution for subordinate lodges , Is stricken out and the following sub stituted : "Section 7. Lodges may provide In their by-laws for holding special meetings for any purpose not specially prohibited by this constitution , but they shall bo held at such hour as the by-laws may proscribe , and no business shall bo transacted thereat except that for which the meeting was called. The chancellor commander may , lu his discretion , UIKJII notice to the members , call a si > cciai meeting for any of the purposes designated in the by-laws , und shall cull such meeting when requested t do so In writing by five mem- bow. In wsovi'jJchunccllorcommandershaH refuse to . . ! ! n special meeting when so re quested , u l nU 'quorum'may hold such meet ing notwithstanding such refusal. " Section 121 , subordinate constitution , U amended so that the second sentence reada as follows ! "In order to effect such consolida tion it shall be necessary for such lodged to agree by a majority vote upon the following terms and conditions. " Sovurul other amendments were passed by the grand lodge , but were not sent to the supreme premo chancellor for approval. Among these amendments was ono to section 09 providing that withdrawal cards should bo furnished lodges free of chargo. As tno section now stands the grand keener of rcconls nnd icul is reMponstblo for 60 cents for every card , which has been Issued since the last session of the grand lodgo. Cards have been fur- iilshtnl lodges free of charge the same as though the amendment mentioned had been In full force since Its passage. On the con trary the constitution stands 09 It did before the action of the grand ledge on Ihla point , as. It Is stipulated In tha constitution of the supreme promo ledge that the constitutional amend ments nro not in force until after their ap proval by the supreme lodge or the commit tee on law. The matter of securing the next session of thp supreme ledge of the order for Omahu has received so llttlo attention at the hands of the Omaha lodges as to have called forth n great many rcmartts of nn uncomplimentary nature from business men in the city who keep posted on things of limb kind. Ono of them remark d that the order In this city showed a great lack of enterprise in not mak ing un attempt to arouse an interest in tha matter among business men and the citizens generally. Ho said ho had heard the subject discussed by business men who were very favorably Impressed with the idea of Inviting the supreme ledge to.hold Its next session In this city and making n strong effort to secure It , but when they learned that the effort in that direction , ns far as the order was con cerned , was confined to a handful of Individual members , whllo the balance had not enthusi asm enough nor Interest enough in their beloved - loved order to oven sanction nn effort on the part of outsiders , they at once expressed the opinion that the members of the order In the city could not sco beyond the end of their noses. Supreme Representative French was asked If ho had received nottco of any official action on the part of any of the Omaha lodges asking him to invite the supreme premo lodge to Omaha in 1892. Ho replied that he had received such a notice from only three lodges In the city. Ho further said that ho wished the lodges would take action on the matter ono way or the other , as the subject had been agitated for some tlmo and ho would llko to know the sentiment of the lodges on the question. "If Nebraska's ' representa tives return from the supreme ledge , " said ho , "and it is known that they have made no effort to secure the next session for Omaha , the chances nro that there will bo a howl raised. On the other hand , what assurances have we that , if we invite the supreme ledge hero mid the invitation is ncceptcu , the lodges hero will help to entertain thcml If they don't want the supreme ledge they should say so , .but if they do want it , it is high tlmo they wcro sayingso. ; " A member of the board of trade was asked what the sentiments of the board wcro regarding this matter. "This business was presented to the board , " said he , "in n communication signed by two mem bers of the Knights of Pythias. They did not claim to bo a committee authorized to take any ofllcial action in the matter , nnd the board could not take any decisive action In the matter. If the thing is gene nt in the right way and will * some color of authority , the board of trade will do as much or more than any other institution , but wo don't pro pose to pledge ourselves to raise $50,001) ) or * IX,000 ) to entertain the supreme ledge or any body else. " The Nebraska jurisdiction is to have another Pythian paper. Articles of in corporation of the Knights' Jewel were filed during the past week in the office of the secretary of state at Lincoln by W. L. Seism and F. J. Sackett , both of Omaha. The capi tal stock of the now concern is fixed at S3.5UO. The first number will appear July 1 , at which time $5,000 sample copies will bo distributed about the state. It is the general opinln among member's of the order that there is plenty of room for a good Pythian paper , but it is also evident that the jurisdiction will not support two. It will bo a case of the survival of tlio fittest , and the result will bo watched with interest hi" the members generally. The Knight Errant , a Pythian journal pub lished in Chicago , has the following to say concerning the session of the supreme ledge in 18'JJ : "As the session ot the supreme ledge approaches , the question very naturally comes up 'Where is the sejsiou of 1893 going to ba held I' The Knight Errant sincerely believes that for the beat interests ot the order there can bo but ono reply Omaha. Many will say'Why not Chicago I' but that is easily answered. Chicago has it hands full ; and besides that , it is too close a location to the session of 18 * ) . The principal argu ment , however , in favor of Omaha is that it will , for the first time , give an opportunity to the brethren from the far west and great Pa cific states to attend. Let Omaha bo hoard from ; let its representatives come prepared with an invitation , backed with the evidences that they stand prepared to take care of so great nn enterprise. " K. T. A conclave of the commanderles in the state will bo held at Beatrice , Juno 2-1-23. At the last meeting of the grand commandcry the Beatrice commandcry extended an invita tion to all Sir Knights in the state to attend an encampment in that city during the Chau- tauqiia assembly which convenes on the 2th ( ! Inst. The encampment will bo in fullformtho tents , etc. , being provided by Beatrice and everything free of charge with the exception of niOaU. Mt. Calvary commandcry will go to the encampment with about fifty Sir Knights nnd their Indies. The new commnndery nt Columbus , which has been working under dispensation , will bo chartered soon. The namu of the now com mandcry is Gethsemaue. A now commandcry is being organized at Chadron. O. K. S.

R RITCHIE , General Agent PROUD OF THIk'FIRST ' H , E , " Bishop Homimn Knows of No Finer Sunday School , A DESCRIPTION OF THE BASEMENT , Ait Informal Drtllcutlou of the Mnftiililucnt Structure A Scr- inuti by tlio Illshop nnd Vlsltlntf CoiiimlHslonoi-a. The new First Methodist Episcopal church recently erected on tlio comer ot Twentieth nnd DarcnjMrt , vrlilch will bo infornmlly opened today by Bishop Nowninn , Is ono of thomost bcnutiful mid aubstantinl church. bulldiiiKS In the west. In style it Is romim- csnua nud was built , nftor the pliins of Men delssohn , Fisher & Laurie. Thobulldingfuccs the west , nlmoat opposite the hifih school , nnd Is suggcstlvo of solidity rather thuu the ornate in church architecture. The first story Is of rough-hewn Portngo red sandstone nnd the superstructure of Homan pressed brick nnd beautiful terra cottix tablets. On the northwest corner n majestic , tower will rlso 1U ! feet in the air. This structure Is now In process of construction nnd will bo built of brick nnd terracotta. The crown of the tower will bo conical nnd built of rod tlHnR. AH yet only the base ment , or Sunday school department , has been llnlshcd , nnd In this place the informal cere monies will bo conducted. Owing to the departure- the bishop for Japan and his inability to devote any other Sunday to the service this summer , the con gregation decided to defer the regular dedi catory services in the auditorium until the llrst SuncUiy in September. The Sunday school room is largo and airy , Wx70 ) feet in extent , with class rooms or par- low on'threo sides. The schoolroom proper has a low platform nt Its cast end for the superintendent and will bo lighted with electricity. Tlio lloor Is covered with dark green carpet of handsome design nnd the apartment is comfortably fur nished. The west end of the room is divided by eight sliding doors which can bo thrown back making it practically ono room. This is the ladies' uarlor and is lighted and orna mented with three largo stained glass win dows. Diagonally across ono corner is n handsome hardwood mantel nnd llrcplaco with brown tiling , to nmlco cheery with its bright firelight the meetings of the ladles' society. On the south sldo arc two roomy class rooms also provided with folding doors and lighted with largo stained gloss windows. In ono corner is n cosy Sunday school li brary which will bo fitted with shelves and lllled with books , and at the other is u kitchen provided with n sink , n largo gas steve and collee and hot water heaters. Hero the good things for church suppers will bo prepared. Beyond the kitchen In the southeast corner is tlio boiler room for heating purposes. A boiler with a liOO-pound pressure under u sep arate roof has been put in by John Itowo & Co. , who have the contract for the stcaui-tlt- ting. The boiler has been tested and declared amply capable of healing the building. On the east side of this department are two more class rooms nlsp separated by folding doors. The entrance , to the Sunday school is on the northeast corner of the church and the vestibule is finished in oak and floored "with tiles. A stairway leads up to the ladles' toilet rooms. In the southeast corner of the school room u stairway leads to the pastor's study back of the pulpit , the men's toilet room , beyond which is the power room of the organ. This room contains the dynamo which will pump the organ. The auditorium , although not nearly fin ished , gives evidence of Its grandeur when the arts of the carpenter nnd the frcscoer shall have been lavished upon it. Imagine a room 9(1x70 ( feet in dimensions and with a vaulted ceiling 55 feet high , and with a pulpit space of 'JO feet and un organ loft 20x.)0 feet and you huvo an idea of this grand church room. , Around the building from ono cast wall fo.tlio other extends the gallery from which will descends winding staircases to the pulpit. The main cntr.wcos to the auditorium will bo at the north and south corners of the front facade. The seats will be in circular form nnd the entire interior finish will bo of red oak. The nislos will bo carpeted nnd this pews uphol stered in the highest style of the art. The seating capacity of the church includ ing the gallery will bo 1,500. The solidity of the building can bo deter mined when it is stated that all the walls are from sixteen inches to three fcetthick of solid brick and stono. Strength has been a prom- ncnt factor in the construction of the church , while tlio beautiful has also been cultivated. The building has been under the watchful eye of Mr. James Haynes , as superintendent. The stained glass windows , which are very beautiful and artistic , were furnished by tlio Omaha art glass company. The contract for a six-thousand plpo organ has bt-.eu let , and the instrument will bo put in place soon. The congregation of the First Methodist Episcopal church has a most beautiful and imposing edifice in Which to worship , and con gratulation on its early completion are being received not only by the bishop and Ilev. P. S. Merrill , but by members of the congrega tion from members of the church not so hap pily situated. . , Bishop Newman , -In speaking of the in formal opening of the church , said : "I consider the Sunday school room the finest west of tlio Mississippi and there are none in the cast that I would prefer to it. The first bcrvices will bo held on Sunday ( today ) , nnd I will preach the first sermon. In the afternoon there will bo a most inter esting service called the roll of honor. The children in the Sunday school will have their names called and will respond with an offer ing to the now church. I shall then celebrate the ordinance of baptism upon about thirty infants and then baptize adults. "In the evening Uev. Dr. Palmer , presid ing elder of the Now York district , ono of the largest in th country , will preach. Ho is ono of the general conferenea commission and n most eloijucnt speaker. It is expected that a number of the other commissioners will also make short addresses. These gentlemen uro distinguished laymen of the church. "At the dedication of the auditorium in November wo expect the celebrated Chaplain 'McCabe , Bishops Vincent , Warren nnd Nlndo , as well as other eminent bishops nnd clergymen will bo present which will last u week- from Sunday to Sunday. "Tho now church , I thlult , will rank In beauty and costliness with any in Kansas City or Denver , nud too much credit cannot bo given to its pastor , Hov. P. S.'Mdrrlll. for his energy 'n ' carrying forward the work to Its completion. "Tho trustees nro young and representative business man , such us Messrs. Benson , Car- miehaol , O'Connell ' , .Young , Kurtz , Austin , Harrison und Shannon , the hwtof whom Is president of the board and Mr. Kurtz Is treasurer. They have1 done splendid service and I am very iiroudiqf the church. " Ollioi1 ! pn.Htora. The First Methodist Episcopal church was not only the first church of that denomina tion , but also the llrst church erected In Omaha. It was founded in 1857 by Uov. Mr. Collins. The block between Thirteenth nnd Four teenth ami Famam und Douglas , then in the extreme western part of the village , was bought at a nominal figure. Some of the lots afterwards were sold at n ridiculously low fleuro tojmy brloluvlth which to erect a religious edifice. Froinibnlly since the mom- bora of the church have dnplorod the premature - turo sale of lots whUiUuhuvo sluco Increased so enormously In value. J. W.

In 1V ) ho was clavatod to the position of presiding elder of the district of northern Nebraska , north of the Plutto river and as fur west as there was u sod house. Out of this wild tract Mr. Lemon organ ized five floiirlnhlng dlgtrlcU. and the HCOPOH of Methodist spiral In northern Nebraska uro monuments to hUenergy and devotion. Uov. William M. Smith cnmo from No hraska City to succeed Mr. Lemon , and ho was followed by Dr. W. B. Slaughter , thu futhorof United States Marshal Brad Slaugh ter , now of this city , Dr , Henry \Vi-itward was the next min ister and during hU term of service u now church was built at Seventeenth nnd Capitol nronuo whore the United Presbyterians now worship. This building Is to bo torn down to make room for the now postofllco , Rev. Ocorg * W. Guo succeeded him but ronmlnod only six months and was followed by Hov. Gcwgo Dclnmatre , who remained In charge until 1871 nud who at last accounts was in Denver. Kov. Clark Wrlpht was the next clergy man who occupied this pulpit , but during his pastorate the membership cvf the church In creased to such an extent that It was deemed advisable to start another church , which was built near thu military bridge and placed In charge of Hov. J. II. Preston. Hov. L. F. Britt , n brilliant young gentle man , was the next clergyman. " \VIiy Wo Go to the XhoiUor ? "Is It wrong or Inconsistent for a Christian to attend the theater ) " This question was propounded to several divines of this city with the following result : "I am in favor of the play as an educational factor , " said Dean Gardner. "I cannot see that It Is more wrong to go to the play than to a concert. But there are plays and plays. Of course , I do not mean to countenance the low variety theaters , nor do I bellevo 'In the value of the farco-coiiiCdlcs , apparently so popular with a certain class of thoatcr-goera , But , speaking of the theater ns n place of in struction and. amusement I can see nothing harmful In it. Hov. William Osgood Pearson of St. John's Episcopal church said : "I think It depends n great deal upon the play Itself. Such emasculated plays ns 'A Tin Soldier' nnd plays of that ilk I do not think are at all val uable , If Indeed they uro not absolutely harmful. Shakespeare's plays are good and strong and afford study for thoughtful men , and I do not sco the harm of going to the theater to sco tncm. The theater represents humanity und the different views of life , and I think ono could got n very fair status of life from constant theater-going. I do not go to the theater myself , because I cannot afford it. " Rov. J. E. Ensign of the Newman M. E. church expressed his views as follows : "Tho theater is n great institution. Nowhere can ono learn so much in so short n time as nt the theater. There is no place like the theater for learning human nature. The theater teaches ono how beautiful vlco Is ; amours nro consecrated , license is granted , and our youth coino away allvo to tlio glorious liberty of conquest und lust. Such passionate kiss ing of bauds , such amorous' embraces , such opportune seats in the pit. Is the theater sin fill or degrading I Well , I should say I It Is both , and it is more. The modern thea ter is a seething caldron of hydrophobia I Reservoir of concentrated essence of hell ! Abomination of humanity tangible diabol ism I It is a vagabond prostitute. It is tlio most successful procuress nnd solicitor for houses of prostitution in the world. It cpi- tonizes every digress of wickedness. It Is the devil himself I Booth says ho started out to reform the theater , but , long ago , gave it up as a bad Job. A man came to mo this week with tears in his heart and said : 'Why don't you preach on the awfulncss of wickedness ? 'You don't know how wicked the young men are of this city. They are as corrupt as they can bo. My daughter is fifteen years old and has just commenced to go into society. But I am obliged to send her to a convent. ' Wliero do the voung men learn their cussedncss J At the theater of couwo. Tiicro was n time in ancient story when tlio theater had some mer its , but the modern theater is u modern and moral monstrosity. Hov. C. W. Savidgo said : "I was brought up by religious parents and was taught that it was wrong to go to the theater. Out of respect - spect for that teaching , I never attended a theater until I was twenty-five years old. Then I went only once to sco Joe Jefferson play 'Kip Van Winkle. ' As I have como to maturcr years , I have made something of a study of this subject. The modem theater is notgood. Even the bills which advertise the plavs condemn it. I do not believe that the woiidly man who attends is , as a rule , much bcnefittod. And the Christian who attends is sadly out of placo. I never know of a truly devout Christian attending the theater. My own church says , 'Take no diversions except those that can bo taken in the name of the Lord Jesus , ' and the word of God Hays , 'Whatsoever vo do , whether yo eat or drink , do all to the glory ot God. ' If wo taico these divine words wo shall not err. " Hov. John Williams of St. Barnabas' said : "Good plays , like good literature , nro bene ficial to the people at largo. I am in favor of good plays ami detest equally bad ones. The young men of the day have suflleient tempta tion without going to see short-skirted com edies. " _ St. Matthias' Industrial School. The industrial school of St. Matthias' church has held its last session for this sea son , This institution ewes its origin to the philantrophy of Mr. John Worthington , who was impressed with the need of assisting young cirls to fit themselves for the practical duties of their f ature life. Under the 1m- pulse of his inspiration a school for instruc tion In needlework was opened to children -of nil classes without any distinction of church relations. A board of self-sacrificing ladies , among whom wcro especially promi nent Mesdames Murphy , Hayes , Lyons. Es- tcllo , Carrier , Cornish , with Misses Lionbertcr , Richelieu , Wilklns , Bcrkitt , Ucd- ficld and Parsons associated themselves last February for the purpose , and opened tno school with twenty-five , scholars. On last Saturday afternoon friends were Invited to attend the closing session and inspect tlio beautiful specimens of embroidery and other needle work done by the "school during the three months of its cxistaiico. The ninety girls now belonging to the school wcro present , and their happy faces gave proof that It was a service of pleasure to thorn and not u place of Irksome task. The Ilev. Dr. Brown opened the meet ing with a short devotional service and Miss Rcdflcld , the zealous and faithful super intendent , read an excellent report ot tlio op erations of the school. Dr. Brown gave n vcrv humorous but practical address which could noP full to drive homo in some of the young minds solid chunks of wisdom. Nee dlework was much more valuable an acquisi tion to a girl than piano playing. As un ac complished ncedlemnn himself , ho praised their work. Ho was followed In n few appropriate remarks by the Rov. Cauan Whltmarsh of Norfolk. A surprise awaited the audience in the presentation , on behalf of the school , of n beautiful copy of Lew Wallace's "Boyhood of Christ" to'Mrs. Murphy whoso energy has never faltered In the faithful labors in the practical work of the school. Mrs. Murphy was taken wholly by surprise but expressed her thanks In a row words full of feeling. Orangca nnd candy were then distributed and thu children separated for the summer to mcot again in the fall when greater fruit will doubtless bo the result of these ladles' self-denying labors. It was a matter of deep regret that through the death of the wife ol ono of the clergy of the dlncc.se , Bishop Washington was out of town nnd heuco unable to bo present. Muthixllst Ministerial Association. The Ministerial association of Methodist ministers of the Omaha district mot at Scrib- nor , Juno 2 , The most of the pastors were present. Tlio members were entertained very hospit ably by the citizens. The exercises were held in the M. E. church through the day , and at the opera house at night. Hov. T. C.

This was followed by papers from each member of the association and a discussloii. Monday evening , a mass mooting was held at the opera house and popular addresses were made by Hov. C. W. Savidgo and Hov. P. S. Merrill of Omaha. The papers presented were of a high order.
