Kov. J , M. 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

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-

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.

Kuv. D. 1C. 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. God spend

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

hotter prices are paid than by the packers of
this city. 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-

13d Uurko was the victim. Burke had
been around town all evening and , according
to his own statement , had been drinking
more or loss during the night. lie finally
started for homo and when ho reached the
corner of Twcntv-nlnth and Q streets two
mon appeared suddenly from in hiding and
while one of the men throw his arms around
IJurko from the rear the other stepped in
front of him and placing a revolver against
Ills nose demanded that ho throw up tils
hands. 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

so frightened that ho only had a faint recol

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.
