THE OMAHA DAILY FBKKt MONDAY , MAY 2. 1802. ARE FAST MAKING FRIENDS Visiting Methodists and Omaha Getting ou Very Intimate Footing Already , FIVE BISHOPS PREACHED YESTERDAY UilcRntm fiiinry Tlulr ( Jtmrtrri nnd Sur. roiiiidlngii ClllrriiH I III tlm lliunlii'S to llrur \Voril-llic .Mlsulomiry Mectliii ; The people of Omaha got acquainted with visiting Methodists nnd visiting Methodists got acquainted with Iho people ot Omaha yesterday ns they never did boforo. Hun dreds of conference delegates nwoito ycstor- cloy morning in the hotels nnd private homos of Omaha and began to adjust themselves to thcl'1 surroundings nnd ttio environments which will encompass them for the next thirty days. Today they will attend the opening of the general conference , but jcsterdny they wont to church nucl learned something about the streets , places of worship and the pco , > lo of this western metropolis. The sermons delivered In Omahayostorday wcro very largely of the Mcthodlstio inoula , for most ol the pulnlts of the city were oc cupied at ono of the services by visiting Mothodlst clergymen.1 ho day was italic and discouraging , but the audiences wcro largo nt nearly all the churches. Kov. S. Wright Duller , who hns been recently called to St. Mary's Avenue Congregational chuich , was greeted ba laigonnd well-pleased audience. The mass meeting at iCxposition hall in the nflarnooii In the interest of the Methodist missionary work was attended by n largo nudlcnco of Omaha people nnd visitors. At all the Mothodlst churches thcro wcro many strange faces , nnd the sermons were Interesting on account of the fact that they were preached by some of the most dis tinguished men In the denomination. It was a Hold day fur Methodists and they evidently oijoyedlt , rtr.tuior ! si'iicn. IMfthnp lloniiuin i\pliilns : the Utility of llomoly Illuslratlons. The First Methodist church was fairlv packed with neoplo before the hour for ser vices to begin had arrived. Mirny wcro obllgcu to stand during the cntiro service and they did so , waiting for tlio last woid from Bishop Bowman's Up ? . Dr. P. S. Merrill road the opening hymn , and After the usual preliminary soi vice Bishop Thomas Bowman , senior bishop of the church , preached the sermon. Bishop Bowmiin is a man of medium height nnd well built , but not rooust. Ho is 75 joars eld , but well preserved. His face is lhat of a genial , sweet spirited nnd In tellectual sotulomiin who evidently sees n good deal in ttio world besides sin nnd Iniquity. His stvlo of speaking is that of earnest conversation , his language quite ro- nmiknblu for its simplicity and directness. Bishop Bowman found bis tcxiin Matthew Mil , 15 : "Again the kingdom ol heaven is like unto n merchantman becking gooaly peuils : w ho , when he linU found ono pearl o't great price , went nncl sold all that bo rind nnd bought it. " 'I ho speaker referred to the custom that Christ hiid ot talking in pninbles and stud it was customary in oiiental coun tries to do so even nl the present timo. It wus the natural uav lo impress useful lessons upon the mind. Ho thought Hint ministers would do well to take advantage ot current topics occasionally in undenting their ser mons , but bo did not Uio the hiibitof preneh- ing sensational sciinons upon sensational texts. Alon fiequcntly became greatly excited - cited over the discovery of hidden ticiisuro nr new mines of nicoions motul ; but tlio 10- llcion of Jesus Christ wus fur moro valuable than any earth ! > treasure. The religion of Cunst was the onlv thing Hint would tench a man how to live. He mlghtloarn how to take euro of his physical being nnd nis intellectual being without ttie religion of Christ , but his spiritual uatuio required tho-holp of ( Jed in its cfToit to reach up to things Immortal and divino. Uwns nonsense to talk about men evolving into ibis or that. Ono might ns well say that n steam CIIKIIIO wus tlm result of material evolution. If it required man to make the engine , then it must have required something greater than man to make the manor of the steam engine. Thcio was a great liibt cause , and that cause was C5od. The speaker told n number of personal ex- peiicnccs. nlong spiutual lines nod said that throuch the grace of Uod ho had been en- nblod to overcame u vorv violent temper nnd lor over forty > euis ho had not experienced the tooling of nnccr in bis heart. IIo advised e\ery man to got acquainted with the reli gion of Jesus Christ and to drink deep ot the fountain that qucncheth the thirst of the soul. Bishop Bowman recited some pathetic In cidents ot a touching nnturo which biotipht a copious bhowcr of toius from the oycs of his nuultoih. The IIIUMC by ttio choir was fpi'i'cliilly acceptable and was very highly enjoyed. several of the bishops and manj of the prominent men of the church wcro prosentm the audience. oiutisT AMI IIIAVIN. : IIUhopMnllitllciiTiiIkH onu rurltoTli mo of Ills. Bishop Mallnlleu spoke to a lurgo audience ot the South Tenth Street Methodist church yesterday morning. The services weio un usually impressive and nftor the sermon sev eral penitents wont to the altar as subjects for prayer. The personal appearance of Bishop Malla- lieu suggests moro nf iho staid , middln-ogod business mm than ot the eminent divine. His face Is not especially striking and his bearing U unassuming. His features aio regular nnd his eyes mo benevolent rather than piercing. This appearance is nccontu ntod by bis full grayish beard , The bishop's style of oratory rs In keeping with his appearance. Ho effects no fer < vlil lliglits of eloquence or rhotori cnl nourishes.bon ho begins to speak the listener is disappointed , but nftcr a tow minutes the earnestness of the speaker takes hold of every faculty of the hearer and soon ho tlnds himself Impressed to nn extent impossible to the influence of words alono. Tlio heart is in every word that Isaueti from tlio lips of Bishop Mallalieu , nnd nt times when ho warms up over a theme even the most cynical listener is moved to loan , by sympllcity and directness of his descriptions. Trie text from which bo spoke yesterday morning was the passngn in the gospel of tit. John beginning , "tn my Father's house thcro are many manslonc. " The sermon was directed to n portinjal of the future Ufa of tbo blessed , and the fiubjoct was evidently n favorite one with the speaker , "Tho Lord Jesus Chrlbt , " said the bUhop , "camo down from heaven to tarry with us n llttlo while , and ono of the objects of his OHrthly life was to tell us about heaven. It is a romaikablo fact that every nation on earth has some ideas of a future existence. The most abject trlbo of Indians that roams our western prairies believes in a future homo for the good and a punishment for the bad. But when you seek nioredotlnlto Information you find nothing out confusion and chaotio beliefs , If you ask niu what I know about heaven and I close this bible and trv to tell jou what I know , aside from its teaching * , I nm surprised at the utter paucity of mv knowledge. I know only that iho longer I live the nearer heaven seems to my soul. "I believe that God's house Is Indicative of this vast universe , n universe finite In its limitations but magnificent in its proportions. Somewhere I can imaclno a central point about v > hlch all the world * rovolvoand w heie ( Jod's wisdom and power are displayed In a manner beyond tbo Imagination of any Unite mind. I read the story of a sad accident the other day. Four young people were out ball tug when tbo boat capsized , One young man cUiped the girl ho loved In his arms and struggled with ulmost superhuman effort to save her. A rescuing boat was approaching. With hit last expiring effort ho hold her up where tbo rescuing hand * could roach her and then sank lute tno watery depths. So when the billows of sin rolled over Christ ill bo bung on Calvary , he beta up fallen iiimnnlty wbcro thov could too thagoluen horos of nope and then sank in death. " APOVrt.KS AS Mi.V.

Bishop Warren of Denver U ono of the In cllcctual glints of the conference which convenes today.

His tell very Is clear , eloquent and forcible , his iresturos finished nnd graceful and his per- onnl npp-aranco that of nil Ideal preacher of tno gospel of Jesus Christ. Tall and well milt , with clear , clean cat foituros nnd a broad full fotohead , the ido-x is at once con ceived that Bishop Warren U n deep thinker , aim as ono follows him through cno of his crmons this Idea becomes moro llrtnly Im ircsscd upon the mind. In his opening remarks Bishop Warren nskod. "Which of the apostles was most es- coined by the holy catholic church : which of tbo apostles do v ou Itko best ! " Then ho ook up and discussed the character of those vvelve men who followed Christ throuch i'nlosMno and Judca ; these men who helped ilm spread the gospel in the lar away land bevond the seas , long before churches had opened their doors tn the people ot Iho world. The Apostle Thomas , the bishop said , was n man to whom tha church owed a great debt ; Peter was a man with a strong impul sive nature , while John w as n man with ix sweat disposition , so much so that ho was called the "boloved disciple. " Paul was n cultured man. Love , Bishop Warren said , was the most enduring thing In the universe. God's ' love 10 compared to a great river. It was uot only full , but it was so intense nnd so great hat it was bottomless , endless nnd its sum- iiltless height was buyoi.d human concep- : ion. How could that love be stronglhcued ) ho asked. Onlv by golnc on step by stop , range by range , until the Christum had the very nature of thrUt himself , 'Ihcro were innnv men , ho said , who were willing that Christ should liavo a share of tholr hearts. Jilt they wanted to keep their pocketbooks .hcrasUves ; they woio willing that Christ should bo a partner In their family prayers , but thov wanted him to let their business nlTalis alone. In his travels , the bishop had found two finds of men. Ho had mot Iho fussy , im petuous fellows and 'ho broad-minded men , Jio men who sought out righteousness nnd lew llfo to hand down to comine generations vctunboin. The llrst mentioned men wcro iko the toy engines in the stores of the city , rhov made lots of fuss nnd some steam , though Ihuir ai.ts wcro not so noticeable , iVhile the latter mentioned men , although .lipy did not mal'o so gieat a noise por- 'ormcd works nnd deeds that lived after hem and wcro not foigottou when they voio laid away in their tombs. snoitr ON HI\KT. trains KnniiKli f < ° Several Wortils but Not lli'iu ! l.'niiu li lor One.

Ho uses few gestures , but does not allow a climax to bo reached without them His voice is a musical one , and though it tilled the church without effort , w.nt at times subdued to thrill every hearer by its softness nnd intensity. Occupying tbo pulpit with him wcro Kov. II. A.

In roferiing to the quadrennial conferonc-o about to open in this city nnd of thu r > 00 delegates mat it has brought Hero from all paits of the vvoild , the bishop asKcd : "What are wo heiu for following in the slops of our fathers and of their falhcis bofoia them , and doing as our successors w ill do after us f Wo aio working to save the world to our Lord Jesus Chnst. Thopimcipal agency for doing this is the intelligent presetting of the gos pol.

God Puilt the human main for for ward movement ; Ho made tbo numau mind to know moio tomorrow than it does today. What the course of the transmission of lin idea is I do not Know ; I can not explain how It tiavals from the writings of ono man to the br lin ol another , but 1 do not question It. I accept the fact us 1 find it. "God could undoubtedly luivo spoken and the whole moral condition of inca would have boon changed. It ii better for us that He did not do this. It was bolter that lie should get closer to men that tlioy might study and Know moic of Him.o don't fail in this world fiom lack of knowledge. Wo have bruins enough to run two or three woilds like this , but I Eomotimoi think that wo haven't hcnit enough to run ono llttlo uolch borhood. Moro men fail In tbo pulpit from lack of hcait than fiom lack of brains. With nil our colleges , school and opportunities o leainlng wo acquire knowledge enough , bu that Isn't what is needed sympathy is the tonic for n tired spirit , "Ono of tbo gioatesi things about God Is the wonderful hsort revealed through our Lord Jesus Clulst. Wo should believe on Him as n man. Wo should believe on Him as having a great mission to fulfill. Wo read every morning , as the wires have Hashed it during iho night , of this wrong , of that sin and tlm crime. It would load ono to boltovo that ill Is sin nnd ciimu and the world tilled will burdened souls and aching hcnits. it is to change this condition of things that our Lou is 10 conquer the world. My heart is ful when 1 ihlnU of thu sin and sulTerlnu in the world , and I wisn that I could but pipnch us I fctl and talk as It is in my soul. Cl.ris brings relief find puts now Ufa in a human soul. You don't make chaiactor in live min uten nor in twenty-four houib , but this new llfo comes like a Hash , and then wo grow in graco. God never allows a man to get so low that ho never has a doslr" to bo bettor. Tun comes to every man , but the dcslro alone is not sunicicnt , as these who helped , vou down cannot alone lift jou out. " By wuy of illustration , the bishop related the experience of Prof Agosslz , who was lowered by two ft lends between tbo jaws o a Swiss glacier hut thov could not lit nun out without additional help. They trlei to llguro It out , and found that tUu weight o the rope made the difference. " 'I lie rope , " oi J the bishop , "Is evil habit nud the deeper down vou go the heavier it : weight Ui'romos. " In conclusion , ho spoke of tbo influence exerted bj ono mind over another , mid be sought his hoaicrs to think well of the ! actions lest a weak mother bo led to err. Ho invited nny who might bo desirous o entering upon a new lifo to O signify it , am several arose and asked the praters o Cbilstian friends.

Thronged to its utmost capacity was Trln- ty Methodist tlplscopal church last night , ns .bo distinguished Methodist loader of Cansas Bishop W. X. NinUo of Topcka , occupied the pulpit. The bishop is a well-preserved , dignified ooktng tnun of CiO years. Ho has n heavy icad of white hair nnd wears n cropped icard of gray with no moustache. Ills face wcurj n ilrm , but gentle countcnanco. Al though not what u termed nu eloquent pulpit orator , ho is nn Intelligent talker , has a clear , llstlnct voice and is vorv linnrojslvo In llustrutlng his Ideas.

Ho founded ils discourse of St. Matthew , 11 , : "Then llorod , when ho had privllv called the wise men , Inquired of them diligently what time Lho tar appeared. " The bishop spoke of the wlso men who had seen Christ's star in the east , nnd of His birth. Ho then brought bis hearers down to the inquiry by Pilate , "What should bo done with .losus. whom they called Christ' " "Crucify Him , " was the cry. If the que-i- : ion were asked of some that some would ; irobably answer it by saving "Ignore Him. " Jesus' nnmo was among the few. It wus not n wise thing to ignore. I'eonlo could not afford to ignore bis minis. In art galleries of the old world thcro woio grand pictures of Christ from His birth to His ciucillxlnn that simply illustrated llio bible , livery dny someone or something reminded , vou of Christ. The awful blasphemy of the wicked lommdcd you of Him. It was a singular fact that His persecutors followoa Him. Although hutod and despised , they fol lowed Jesus because Ho was kind , benevolent nnd merciful. Ho was mar- volollsly condescending and even children .ruthored ubout Him. The Scilbes and Pharisees envied Him bccauso the people gicotod Him with fnvor , nnd that w-as why Lbey wanted to crucify Him. Jesus , the bUhop said , was a two-slddd man. Ho could not bo undoistood if he were not. Wo got glimpses of His two sines in the gospel , as they could easily be scon in Ills gentle words to the disciples nnd the language to the bciibcs nnd 1'haiiseos. At the time of Christ's birth the world was full of devils , Jesus came to destroy thorn , up- joavo and revolutionize the univoioo. To : iogloct Him was perilous , as Ho was our prophet. Ho saw nil things nnd ha.l a foio- slght that no ono could drjum of possessing. People must hvo in the future ; they couldn't .Ivo in the past.

The house was comfort ably llllcd , tbo pulpit nnd choir loll were bank with tloiver , and the choir and organist furnished their host selections. Mr. Butler in the pulpit harmonizes with ones Ideas of the fitness of things. Ho is a tmndsomo mm with n pale , bat health tut complexion , snow white hair , and beard closely trimmed , and dresses in n suit of the regulation ministerial broadcloth which ills. His delivery Is a long way removed fiom the dramatic , but Is forcible and entirely frea from mannerisms. Ho enunciates his words In n clear , ringing voice managed , with the skill of an elocutionist , without his nour ishes. He makes fovv gootuic- , , but thesonio gi ace ful nnd appropiiatc. Ho is llllcd with vitality ot Iho unobtrusive aort and his Hist words banish the ghost of slumber which seems to make its home in chinches. For a sci ipturo lesson ho read the thild chapter - tor of the second Epistle of John , beginning : "Behold what manner of love tno Pather bath bestowed upon us fiat wo .should bo called the children of GoJ , " which ho accom panied with a ninnlng comment that gave every woid of the chapter a new aud foiciblo moaning. For the text of his sermon ho selected the second verse of the same cauptor ; "It doth not J ct nppjur what wo shall be. " The bauo to bo born tomorrow , ho snid , had no thought of iho woilil beyond Us thrcshhold , with its triumphant march of progiess , its pulsing trade nnd its throbblnc life , so wo of this llfo Imvo no conception of the wonderful lifo to be , with its limitless possibilities.

Should n witness bo harassed against the caution nnd objection of the court the latter declares the attorney offending in contempt nnd mnv impose n tine , or go further and dis bar the o.Iondcr. It is different buforo a con gressional committee. When an improper question h propounded to n witness fiefoio n congressional co limit- too , mid ho Is insulted , his only redrcas is to appeal to the chairman or nny member of tbo committee for decent treatment. Should the question come irom u majority member of the committee or tbo chairman bo prejudiced against tbo witness or the side lor which ho testifies , as U Hourly nUviivs tiuo , tlio chnir- nnin declines to ruin tbo question out nnd the vviinns ! , must suffer.
