Patterson delivered a sermon upon the subject of "Doubt and Doulitors , " nt the l'"Irst I'rosbytorlan church last even ing. Hh discourse was as follous : "I do not take up tills theme because I am alarmed for Iho safety or success of the Christian fallh. While I recognize Iho fact of a lire vailing spirit of skepticism , I am also convinced that the tendency Is to mag nify Us plai-o and power. Wlillo Infidelity may be making some promessot during the snmo tlmcClirlstlaiilty bus been winning signal triumphs and the prospects of tie ! speedy triumph of Cnrist woio novorso bright as today. There Is no real conflict between fultli and unfallb. any moro than between a popgun and a ICntpp Kim. It Is only a r.ham battle. None of the achieves- nicnts of Inlldollty inovo the host of God. "So It Is not becausu I am fearful for tlio ark of God that I urn about to spe.ih about douht and doubters , ' but my motive Is rather to show the source of doubt and Its consequent weakness , to speak a word of sympathy with honest doubt and point iho way out of 'doubting castle. ' 1 know our 'liber..l' friends declare that -the old the ology' lias nothing to offer today to tlio doubter , but the very things that helped bring him Into his present condition. From this Judgment I hog leave to dissent. A very BMall portion of doubt arises from Iho so- called orthodox deeds as a llnal cause. This iray bo a professed source , but It Is not In reality. "Before discussing the cnlof sources of doubt let mo alllrm my entire sympathy with the spirit of research. I believe doubt Is Infinitely better than mental stagnation. In ono sunso It has been the pioneer of progress. Moreover , it in in keeping with the spirit and challenge of Christianity that men should seek to bo able to give a reason for faith. There Is a well dellncd province for honest doubt in tl.u realm of religion. The exercise of it lias brought untold bless ings and Ihc lack of It uncounted woes. Lot all this bo franlcly confessed. Hue there aio doubters and doubters , I am in husto to confess Iho existence of the honest doubter. Tlioiuun WHS n Iliinlitor. "Thomas was an honest doubter. Ho was a matter of fact man and a gloomy man. With him seeing was believing. Hut Christ dealt with him gently , lie Old not break the bruised seed nor quench the smoking Jlax. Thomas doubted because ho was gloomy and he was gloomy because hu doubted , And this Is over a mark of honest doubt , it is never bold or blatant. "Tlio man who is willing to parade his doubts before' the public and point them with a jolto is a fraud. The experience of honest doubt is always bitter. There is nothing in the crnplng alter li''ht that in spires Illppancv but the cxpcilcnco is rather like , that of sitting in tlio shadow of deathor journeying through 'im- penetrable gloom. ' Samuel J. Mills passed through the experience of doubt and In Iho midst of it cried 'I wish I had never been born. ' Bunyan described the ex perience ns 'sticking In the J.iws of despera tion. ' Therefore no honest seekers after truth over pride or plume themselves on 'daring to Investigate , ' or on being free I from 'leading strings. ' The fact is wo all titart out In life witha paid up capital of .faith and with a tendency to increase it. It boimr natural for us to believe the llrst repulse - pulse of faith is a painful surprise. Very few have the courage long to endure it , and thank God they need not , for of tlio temple of truth it can bo truthfully said , 'lie that suckoih , lindoth , ' and 'to him that knockctti it shall bo opened. ' "Theroare not n fowmpii afflicted with a disease called pride of intellect. Their brains trouble them. Before the bar of their mental judgment seat everything must appear -cither for approval or condemna tion. Those people forbid their hearth to believe anything that their heads cannot understand. The pity is that they do not make this requirement outside the religious realm , for they would doubt their ouu ex istence mid might possibly have irraco > enough to relieve the woi Id of what to it , is n very real and hurtful existence. "These people think it is a mark of intel lect to bo able 10 thrust an Interrogation point after every accepted truth. "No'v it scorns to mo a man may have a horror of coining to conclusions and not be a very gri'.it giant. It scorns to mo negation is an ill-chosen ground of greatness. "Paul mot some o : tlicso people and aptly deserted them , as , 'profiling themselves to bo wise , they became foolish. ' The truth is , there Is conclusive evidence of mental nnbo- cilltv In the man who is an nltn-isi , for that involves the belief m design without a do- tinner , effect without cause , law without lawmaker. It is only the fool ihat says ' there is no God. And so every other tenet of essential faith is entirely reasonable. filtered nf Cl-i'cdd. "There are oilier people whoso douot arises from a hatred of creeds and confessions und catechisms. I confess that a rigid and un balanced orthodoxy has made some skeptics. Men are Jealous of authority in matters of faith and practice. Thu.v don't want to be led by dogmatists. They decline to bo bound by deliverances of councils and assemblies. They assert the riirht to hold opinions which : l have not received the Imprimatur of some "In a measure 1 think this revolt Justifia ble. Creeds have not always been in har mony with the spirit and letter of the blblo. Some doctrines have boon magnilled anil bomo ignored. In the creeds of Christendom , the love of God and the universal offer of " salvation have been strangely overlooked. "While wo inalco these confessions wo also iohl that truth Is eternal. That God Is tlio same , and human nature the same , and thu plan of icdcmption the same today as ! 2OD ( ) years ago. Wo also hold that faith and practice , creed and conduct are vitally re- luted. 'As n man tlihikcth in his heart so Is ho,1 and then as u matter of fact all men have their creed. Often the doubter well deserves the rebuke ; 'oh Infidel , great is thy faith.1 "Men sometimes set themsclvcs'up to Judge iho truth who had no capacity for Judiring. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. A man needs tliu spiritual faculty to Judge the truth. As well might a blind man Judge a work of art , or a deaf man a voice , as a wicked man the Christ. As well put In iho patent oftlco at Washington a man who could not tell a wheelbarrow from a typewriter , or u spinning \\hcel from a music box , as to submit the religion of Christ to an unrcgonorato man. You must tusto and see that tliu I/ml is good. "Tlio Immoral doubter's immo is legion. His conduct controls his creed rather than his creed his conduct. The repudiation of moral obligation Is a chief soumi of unbelief. Men reject Christ bncauso they have already ro- jooted Moses. They don't believe in Calvary because they won't bollovo in Slnul. They reject iho law and than must of necessity deny the gospel , Mon live as though there wcro no God , and then persuade themselves there is no god. The philosophy is the natural and necessary result of the life , The trouble Is Christianity does not fall hi with the corrupt currents of hunun nature. It steins iho tide. It cruellies the lusts of the llcsli , nonce it must bo repudiated by the man who indulges these lusts. It Is very natural fora lustful or covetous or profane or intemperate man to reject the moral code of Christ , as un ux-mlnlstcr once said to an ex-judge , 'If you will but take away one out of iho ten commandments I will profess your creed. ' Just so. Millions vtould profess Christianity If It did not pronounce a wither ing cun > ( ) uiou tholr fains. Immoral Umihtitra Scored. They would bollovo If they could also bo covetous , proud , blasphnmous , etc. They would bo Christians if they did not have to quit tholr meanness. Doubt and infidelity nro nf ton n cloak for sin. When the heart Is wronp people nro very likely to pronouno i tin truth to be falsehood. Unbelief In many iiiBtuiu-cs is the non do plume for hi.tnoniluy , A erv few men who have no Interest in be- llnylng the go&pel to bo false hesitate to acknowledge Its iruth , In reference to the Avholo question of fulth and unfulth throe things are to bo remembered. "Firt God docs not expect u * to under stand everything. Ho does not profess to tinvo cleared up all mysteries. Ho has with- tiold much from us. Wo know only In part. Ho bids us take up the cross of mystery. He tolls us 'wo shall know , ' but Ho has revealed enough for present purposes. The father hood of God , the brotherhood of man , the character and mission of Jesus , the wny of salvation , the moral code , the needed Influx of strength for right and wrong ; all thcso and many other things God has told us about. "Second Wo rightly adjust the heart and the head. The heart is the best oracle. 'Out of the heart are the Issues of life. ' With the heart man bellcveth unto rlght- ousncss. God asks MS to trust him with our heart , and when with the psalmist wo can sny my heart trusted In him. then with him also AVO can say , and 1 am helped. "Third Obedience is a condition of knowl edge. Wo got light by using the light wo have. If any man will know the doctrine let him do the will of God. Live up to all the light > ou have and you shall have moro. "Thus all discoveries have been made. Columbus discovered America by using what knowledge ho had.

Thulnll , D.D. , pastor of Sow- nnl Streut Motlioillst cliurcli , delivered tlio following sermon on "Clirlstlinlty licforo tlio World" yesterday : "My text is found In Acts S-1'J : 'What mcanctli this ! ' I'entccost - was n pi-cat oc casion , It was tlio Inauguration of the ills- l 'iiautloii of tlio holy spirit. It was ilono at a great nlace , Jerusalum , the capital and metropolis of tlio Jews , Hint theocratic mi- ttun. At this tiiiio the ( treat ulty was crowded with .lows tiud proselytes from nearly nil countries of the iulmhitod world. It was the time of the feast of wcoks , known also as the feast o < harvest and feast of the llrst fr.iits , and how appropriately so , as it was the llrst tiro.it ingathering of the now Kingdom. What a splendid lima to so.ittor the seed of the kingdom ofChtlst ; and so It WHS done , for Paul In alter years found Christians at Homo and clsuwherc , converts , porliaiw , of this very great ouca- slou. ' 'J'ho crucifixion pf Christ was on the great passover occasion at Jerusalem and in the sight of the gazing multitudes , as If < Jed wanted all men to know ho was really uruul- Ik'J , Jead and hurled that it might never ho questioned as a fako. Uod always docs things in the right way mm at the right time. Christ caino Just at the riglit time when time was lilted out and rtpo for his coming. Wo should also bo instant in sea son aa well as out of season. It docs seem as if th'j world's congress of religions ii ! an other great thlep in season. It IMS taken place in the right place and at the proper time. A city in the heart of the greatest nation of earth , of overu million of souls , with over 1,1)00 , ) trains of ears coming or goliijj out daily the city , which , as ( jviimn Abbott sa > bls the most cosmopolitan of all the cities of earth ; this is a lit place for such a gathering. It is instant in season in that it is held when about eighty iritions of peoploand tribes nro rcprc- sentod at the White City , as also in Chicago itself. The congress itself represents about forty nations and peoples. It is held at the time for woman to bo represented in it , for some of its speakers tiavo been women. At what.otnor period of the world's history could this have taken place ? This was in deed u most wonderful occasion. The sons of Noah. Shem , Ham ai.d .Taphet havcs.it in religious council for the Ijrst time slnco the days of that old patriarch. This could not have been bclorc it was. The facilities did not exist. Steam and electricity have made such a gathering possible : "Ono man of that representative body traveled'Jl.OOO miles to bo there , and was glad ho did. Hut for modern facilities" travel such would have been impossible. In a word , Christianity made this congress pos sible. And , Chiistlaulty , the youngest of all the great religions save Mohammedan ism , invited and entertained the congress. Surely these nrc days of marvels not to say miracles. Strange things in these days do take placo. In the Midway plaisanco of the Columbian exposition theio Is on exhibition the embalmed body or mummy of old Pharaoh who know not Joseph. , and op pressed Israel. Think of the world , after the lapse of thousands of years , -gazing oil that hard hearted son of the dovil. But that congress of religions was ID mo moro wonderf jl still. As I behold representatives on the great platiorn : in that great Art palace on the luke , Jews , Greeks , Latins , Bralimins , Budd hists , Mohammedans , Parseca. Christians , representing all the great religions of the earth , and" witnessed the vast audience , listening with almost breathless silence , and thu great crowds pushing for entrance at the various doors. I was thrilled in my very soul. I then indeed felt that to bo a member of an auxiliary of this congress was a privi lege and iin honor. As I looked on this great throng how desirous I was that the Holy Ghost might fall on it as at Pentecost and the house of Cornelius. JmllHpoiiHiiblo Adjunct of Manhood. "Christianity was placed before these representatives of the various religions of the world. The congress can but result in pi-cat things finally to Christianity. 'What mcaneth this ! ' It means that man is a religious being. Ho must have religion. We can 11 ml people without culture , without civilisation , hut not without icligion. The idolatry of the world as well as the better forms of religion show man to bo a religions heinc. Ho must have God. And this ago is 0110 that gives special emphasis to the im portance of Christ.ianitychldrcn ! and woman. Tlio urea test crowds I saw at the Columbian exposition wore at the Children's building , Woman's building and the Art palace , where the world's congress of religious was held. This is as it should 1m "What mcanoth this congress of religions ? It moans flrst of all a better understanding among the nations of the \vorld as to their religions and civilisations. The nations and peoples of earth have been too widely sep arated and have not well enough known each other. As they como to know bolter each other they will love moro. It was the separations jn Greece that occasioned war oftentimes between people of the same na tion. But for the wide separation , and , hence lack of knowledge and sympathy be tween the north nii'l tlio south , there would have likely been no rebellion. Itailroads have tied all sections of our country together and so united our intoicsts and sympathies that such a war would now bo impossible. Steam and electricity have so united nations in commerce und icllglon that cruel war is growing less. Tins congress of religions ncaiis that we see that the ethnic religions if the world have some good thingf > as well is bad , but that they do not ami cannot sat- sfy the soul. Man must have the best re- igion and most perfect revelation of God. Christianity Is such a religion. "This congress means that in the compar ison of religions , Christianity has nothing to lese , but all to gain. Perfection can only gain in its comparison with imperfection , I > means that Christianity will , through this congress , bo moro thoroughly brought before the world. The doors of the nations of the ciirth are nearly or quite all open to Chris tianity , while in some heathen countries they are oven calling loudly ; 'Come over into Macedonia and help us.1 The sun of anew now dispensation is lighting up tlio liorl/ou of time with a light winch promises n moro glorious day to the fallen sous of man. O think of the glad time coming when Shorn , Ham und Japhot will moot around the throne of God in the saved people of the earth and form the greatest and lust con- press of religions to sing aid | shout forever thu song of Moses and the Lamb und to enjoy the perfect religion forever.

The total receipts of cars at the Union Stock yams ( luring the month were ft.UJO , a little less than B.OUO moro than any other month within tlio history of the yards. The exact receipts were ns follows : Three thousand four hundred sovonty-threo ears of cattle or 8S.7SO head , li.U''O e.u-s of lie s or UO.'JIK ) head , 118 cars of sheep , making lil.JWI head , and D ! ) cars of horses malting 1,111 head.

In speaking of the business for the inontn , Colonel Sharp , treasurer of the stock yards company , siiid : "September has been the most satisfactory month to all of us of any month since I have boon connected with the yards. The demand has been Rood , prices have been strong and the receipts have been far beyond the expectations of any of us. Ttii'ro is no question but that South Omaha will lead all competitors as a Ilvo stock mar ket in the west for iho future. I know of a number of instances during the last thirty days whore men have asked for prices here and then taken their stock on to Chicago , where they sold at a loss of from HO to10 cents a hundred not ono case , but a half dozen of them. Shippers will only bo caught In that way onco.

The fact that the business is ran- Idly increasing is evidence that the stock men are well aware of this fact.

A daring case of highway robbery was re ported In South Omaha about 'J o'clock ycs- tcrit.-.y morning. 13d Uurko was the victim.

He obeyed the command and tlio two men proceeded logo through his pockets. He claimed to have had $ ! 0 in uiils and ? 1 in silver. The footpads took it all and then forced Burke to keep In the middle of the road and go straight ahead. Ho did so until he thought the men were out of range when ho broke and ran for the police station. Cap'.ain Austin took up the case , hut was was unahlo to locate the thugs. Durko was so frightened that ho only had a faint recol lection of what the highwaymen looked like rotitiiui. .Tohn J. Ilyan and sixty-five other tax payers living over in the vicinity oflho Third ward have signed a petition which tvill bo presented to the members of the Board of Education tonight. The petition requests that the school children living in school district No. 4 bo allowed to attend school in district No. 3. There are a great many children living in this neighborhood who live inside the city limits but who do not live iiibitlo the school district. If Ihoy are not allowed tu attend the school In Iho Third district they will have to walk about a mile out In the country. The new rnlo is to make all children who attend school from a district in which they do not live pay a tuition of 75 cents a month , but the peti tioners wish to arrange matters with the school board so they will not have to pay anything and at the same time send thoii children to school in the buildlmr nearest where they livo. Mr. Thomas of the schoo board will bring the matter up at the regu .ar meeting tonight. ll lighting \ \ hurley. There was a dorcn or moro lights in Soutl Omaha on Saturday night.
