The many excellent magazine nrtlclcj nnd
newspaper editorials that have appeared to-
ceutly and slnco the tle.ith of the Into Hov.
Charles Hndclon Spurucon , have brought his
lito nnd work * very prominently before the
reading nubile. Thousands who know com
paratively llttlo about- the great London
proaehor hnvo learned o Rood deal ubout him
of Into , and those who had road his writings
nnd sermons all the way Jrotn "John Plough
man's Talk" down to his last great dis
courses have become moro familiar with the
ovonti of Mr. Spurgoon's busy Hfo by means
of the current llteruturo bcarlnp upon the In
teresting features of his character and
work.
1 have boon deeply interested In many
of thoio biographical sketches and
editorial notices of the Hfo nnd xvorki of the
great London preacher , nnd In ono respect , nil
ihn articles that I huvo road have hud the
inmo effect upon mo. They have Invariably
called to mind the Kith uay of July , ISS'J.
when It was rny good fortune to attend
church at Mr. Spurgcon's tabernacle near
the "Elephant and Castle" hi the great and
wonderful city of London.
In glancing over my notebook the other
flay I found that the brief notes that I jotted
down while listening to Mr. Spuriroon's dis
course contained sonio very Interesting
points nnd from them t will furnish n rut her
Imperfect synopsis of the sermon for the
readers of Tim SU.NIIAV DEE.
At that time 1 had done but very llttlo
newspaper work , but having something of
the roportorlal bent of mind I used my pen
cil In "Jotting things down" and will uiako
Iho best of the brief ana fragmentary noius
taken as 1 listened to the sermon. My trav
eling companion wns a gentleman from
Loralno , O. . Hov. J , J. Conougby , and wo
were told at our hotel on Sunday morning to
take the tramwav to the "Elephant and
LJastlo" nnd then to "follow the crowd. "
1'tih wo did end had no troiiblo , as tvo were
In good tune. In ( hiding the way to Mr. Spur-
peon's church.
Mr. Hpnrcrnn'fl Tiibcrnncle.
The grcnt structure aocs not look much
Ilko a church to the uvoruca Amorlcr.n. It
looks moro Ilko n stock exchange or
possibly n theater from a fuw blocks
way , but as wo approached the
tdlOco wo noticed hugo labials fastened
against tbo Iron frnco with printed
announcements of the services for
Iho ontlru week upon them. The tabernacle
Is not nn ornumcntnl structure. It was evi
dently built far comfort nnd convenience , not
to pleasa the cyo. Alone tbo front thcro
Etrotcbcs an immense portico , the pediment
of xvhlch Is sunoortcd by six Corlnihiati col
umns. Ascciullnir u flight of half a dozen
broad ntnno stops that stretch clear across
the front of the building one enter * a plain ,
wide vnstiuulo , from which tbo people pass
to tbo main auditorium or into the gallery ,
which runs almost all the way around the
great build Inc. The tabernacle is both lone
nnd wide. but the pulpit is built in such a
way as to bring the preacher within roason-
ublo distance of all the people. The pulpit
platform , as I now recall it , scorned to bo
about as much above the pews In on the lower
floor as it was below the pews in the gallery
And it Jutted out towards the center of the
great building twenty or thirty feet from the
end opposite Ihn main entrances.
\Vhcn wo entered wo found a largo con
course of .people walling In the lobby of the
gallery. Wo were Informed that those people
ple were waiting for the gong to sound.
Mr. Spurgeon was thoroughly cosmopolitan.
Ho was also democratic to a certain degree.
Ho boliovea lu having every man , woman
and child who attended his church provided
with the best vacant seat In tbo house , it
didn't matter wbethor they rented pews or
not. His plan for tilling up nil the most do-
Blrable pews was a very practical ono ana
has boon adopted nt many other largo
temples of worship both In Europe and
America. At llvo
minutes before the ser
vices began a smalt electric pong In the gallery -
lory rang sharp nnd clear , and then every
unoccuui''il paw In the house was free and
open to the person who desired to take it.
\Vo were waiting patiently for the gone ,
but before it rang a business man of
the city , whom wo had moi a few days before -
fore , recognized us mutinvltod us to accept
seats in his pow which wo vorv gladly did.
When the ifouK sounded it was interesting to
see tbo great congregation of visitors who
had been waiting move forward nnd 111 ! up
the vacant scats. The great auditorium and
the gallery bccaino a sea of human faces.
And Kvorybo
A double quartette of singers assisted by
a director led the singing but the on tire
audlouuu Joined. I have hoar a sweater
muslo but 1 never heard melody with so
much volume and power as that congrega
tional staring , Ii was a veritable Inspiration.
The great building scorned to tremble nnd
palpitate with the nso nua fall of that tre
mendous chorus of 5,000 voices. Mr. Spur-
goon announced thu hymns nnd seamed to
enjoy that part of the service very much.
His pulpit was simplicity itsolf. Ho bad n
bible and a by ran boolc on n small desk of the
proper height boforu him and when the text
was road he seemed to have llttlo use for a
desk 01 uny kind. Ho advanced toward the
railing around the platform and frequently
placing his hands on tbo railing bo loaned
forward nnd talked
very much as a man
would deliver an Improtntu locturo. It Is not
necessary for mo to scan my note book to
remember the text. I have never
forgotten It for n singla day since. Tbo man
ner of his reading ana the striklne comments
that ho made as ho veau the sacred lines loft
an abiding impression.
Ill * Text mill Surinon ,
Mr. Spurgoon road from the fourth chapter
of Marie : "Uohold there went outa sewer to
tow. " utc. Mr. Spurgoon paused wbon ho
bad road the first sentence und said ; "And
why shouldn't ho sow ) That was his busi
ness and wo would naturally oxpcct that bo
would attend to It. Hut tboro nro people
who go out to BOW and scorn to forgot their
mission. Thov sit down lu tbo corner of tbo

aware of it Iho day Is done and
there U no seed cast Into tbo ground.

they turn nsido to do
Homothing olso. A man
ihould stick to his business. If a man Is a
preacher ho should preach and do nothing
lno. The loss ho irios to do of other things

Una photograph , so the mind may bo cor
rupted by a sinful thought"
When Mr. Bpurgcon had finished reading
the ohnptcr ho look hold of the subject with
great earnestness. Ho divided the subject
Into the following parts ; How ( Jurist apaho
to those on the outslilo and how ha spauu to
those on the Insldo ; how ha wont out und
fathered In the lost sheep , and bow ho fed
them wbou ho had them in the fold ,
Hit Aclinlrml 1'luln Talk.
Touching upon the way Christ ( allied tojtbo
people Mr. Spurgeon laid : "Somo men think
they must preaoh deep things oh , the won-
lerful thought of modern times and they go
10 deep they never coma up. I am sick of
lull talk about profound thought. These so-
tailed profound thinkers remind me of the
cuttlelisb , which sinks In tbo depths of the
ocean and spreads Its Inky blackness behind
It o you cannot follow. So those profound
men link out of sight In profundity and never
soinoup. They go to the bottom Ilko an old
reisel. Christ didn't pruach In that manner.
He didn't carry a gold pencil caio In hi *
pocket and every tluiu ho ran across a word
of sixteen syllables put it down , as some
modern preachers do , remarking that 'th.ira
Is a good word to go Into my next sermou.1
When a man prouchei so that yon cau't un
derstand him you may bo urotty sure that
he don't know what ho 1 * talking about.
When a man has studied his subject und has
a good grip ou it ho can speak so you will un
derstand him. If a speaker cannot mauo hi *
tubject plain you may bo sura it is away
ibovo his bead aud he can't roach it , Hi's
lubject has passed clear over bis head llko a

"I heart ] a man say once that ha found it
llfiicult to pot his mind down to cbiHrcn ,
The fact of the case wai ho didn't bavo nuy

' It Ii good to spend n part of every day In
secret study nnd meditation. It helps to
liecp the balance wheels of the mind all In
order. "
Mr. Spurgeon Indulged In no flights of dra
matic oratory. Ho gesticulated some , but
his pesturoi ivern slmolo nnd appropriate ,
reminding ono of Hamlet's Injunction to
"suit the tvord to the action , thoactlon to the
word. " Ho said nothing that dazzled or
startled the midlcuco , but bis volco nnd bis

Muttiodlit Ilimpltul Mooting.
On last Tuesday the annual mooting of tbo
Methodist Episcopal Hospital nnd Deaconess
ilonio association at Omhaha was held In
the You tig Men's Christian association
room : ) . A sense of deep gratitude to God
pervaded the assemblage , that success so
signal had attended the lint year of the or
ganization , Several changes wcro made In
tno constitution , ono ot which was the re
duction of the number of trustees from llf-
teen to nine , und the executive committee
was reduced from seven to ilvo. The report
of I ) . 11. Hall , president of the Board of Trus
tees , was very gratifying.
Following Is a synopsis of the address of
Key. J. W. Shank , president of the asso
ciation :
Member * of the MnthodUt Episcopal Hos
pital and Dnaeoness Homo Association Dear
Co-workers : We are hero today to pass our
llrst annual mile post , Ona year niro wo
gathered for Iho purpose of organization. Wo
proceeded by faith , but not without some
what of fear tlnd trembling , while wo romom-
ticred the apostolic injunction to ' 'wont out
our own salvation with fe.tr and trembling. "
Providence smiled upon our undertaking. A
suitable building wns purchased and the
Institution was opened on the iiSth of May ,
IS'I. ) That It has done goud work nnd bneu
favored of both God aud man is shown by
the record of what has boon accomplished.
These patients hnvo cutno from the folloxv-
Ing widely different localities : Omaha 00 ,
Iowa 50 , Wyoming 1 , Kansas 1 , South Da
kota S , Missouri 4 , Illinois 3 , Colorado 1 ,
throughout Nebrasku 120.
Thus it will bo soon that by far Iho largest
number hayo como from Nebraska outside
of Omaha and the number next largest to
Omaha and isobraska , is from Iowa. The
institution is therefore general in its chur
actcr , and must bo expected to look for sup
port within a radius of L'30 mlloi In all diroc
lions.
The patients have represented nearly all
Christian denominations , Catholics. Presby
terians , Baptists. CongregatlonalUts , Dutch
Ucformed , Lutherans , Methodists , un4 others
of no religious faith. Thcro have been at
least live who ui.dor the gracious
Intluouco with which they have boon sur
rounded , have forsaken tno ways of sin and
turned to God /or salvation , while many
moro have signified a desire to lead a Chris
tian life.
In accomplishing these results different
workers have contributed. The board of
trustees bavo 'labored faithfully , and
especially through their worthy president ,
B. R. Ball.Vo cannot tso hiuhly appreciate
'
thd services of the Ladies' Aid 'association ,
through whose care and efforts the varied in
terests of the institution have boon promoted ,
and a valuable addition to the building , the
laundry , has been constructed , tbo burden i
nnd care of which rested upon their able
president , Mrs. Claliin , nnd Mrs. J. W.
Austin , whoso absence from our midst wo
tannot cease to regret.
JUit more than all also the practical results
ef the institution have depended on the solf-
.deninl nnd loving faithfulness of tbo deacon
esses , llrst nnd foremost of whom Is our
most worthy matron , Miss Pfrimmor. Five
deaconesses' and six doacaucss nurses in
training , are devoting their lives to tills
xvorthy cause. The visiting deaconesses ,
Misses Hcrrick and Miller , nave done excellent -
lent evangelistic work , bu so grcnt has been
the need for mines in the hospital , that for
some time east they hnvo been compelled to
devote the entire time to that work.
From what wo have soon of tbeso noble
women and their work wo must believe that
they huvo been called of God to this great
and high calling , and wo cannot escape the
conviction that the order of Deaconesses is
to play an important part in tbo ovnncoliza-
tlon of our cities , and likewise the evangeli
zation of the world.

The ladles of the South Tenth Street
Methodist church gave a very succe .iful fair
ana supper at tba Young Men's Christian as

table wcro those things wtilch the day might
tuegest. For instance , Monday Is wash day
the country ever , so the Monday table con
tained galvanized clothes lines , clothes
wringers , soap and other articles used on

A Nlclciil-lll-llui-Shit Mucliliio tliilt is , Iimt
Out.
The latest form of the slot machine , if
it ia not suppressed by the authorities ,
will probably itcliiovo n lui-R-or popular
ity Umn itny"of the nickol-dovouriii ttf-
fuii'3 which Iiuvo pro < 'o.led it , BII.VH Iho
Now York Times. It is nothiiifj moro
or Icsa than nn automatic g-iimblirifj de-
vioo. The apparatus consists of n wooilon
cabo about IS inolios hiyli bv 12 ! wide and
; { thick. At the top is ti slot for a nJrkol
and at the bottom a spout from which
the infrequent winnings hnvo issuance.
The path of the niulcols through the
machine is ahowu by two { jltiss 'dinks.
Uchind Iho L'hthS ditjUs are thrco p-iths
for the nickels to tako. They are num
bered I , 2 , and H. The purpose of the
individual who has money to throw
awuy on the machlno is to drop a
nickel in the slot so that it will
fall into path No. 2 , in which case
ho will BOO throe nickels drop out of tiio
spout at , ho bottom. If the nickel goes
into p.iths 1 or 3 , IIH it generally doas ,
the nickel IB lost. Two little metallic
points are arranged in the paths to do-
tied the nickel's course , and it requires
no very close scrutiny lo discover that
tlioir arrangement is such that a nickel
rarely glides into path No. 2.
In oilier words , the odds are about 0
to 1 against the man who expects to win
three nickels for ono. A singulag fo.it-
uro of the device is that two or thrco
brass disks , the si/.o of nickels , occasion
ally show through the front , and these
qr.iss disks have a fashion of dropping
out very often among the winners They
were undoubtedly put in the machines
by the makers to increase the odu > .
These machines are being gradually
scattered over the city , and are mostly
to bo found in barroms. The name of
the manufftcturor does not appear upon
the machine , but ever the slot r.ro
stamped the words , "Patontod Jan. 15 ,
1889. "
