8 THE OMAHA DAILY MONDAY , JANUARY 22 , 1801. FAULTS OF THE CHURCH t'tiggestetl by Youne Men mid Discussed bj Dr. Patterson Last Night , AGREES WITH CRITICS IN SOME POINTS Trenchers Who Are In "llio Shmr HOJS" Too .Much Bccuirlnnum on i.irtli : , but Jfono In Henyen yuiick CliHstliuu , At tlio First Presbyterian church last night Kov. J. M. Patterson gave the second talk In his discussion or tno letters written by the young men explaining why they stay away from church. The Interest manifested In thcso discussions Is revealed not only by the largo congregations that crowd the church to Its utmost capacity , but also by the letters received by Mr. Patterson In commendation of his work. A special mu sical program Is nriangcd for each of thcso services and proves a pleasant feature. ' The discussion last night was limited to the faults and fallings of the church as seen by the young men. Many young men com- lilalncd of the excess ot dogma In the teach ing of thouhtiich. Mr. Patterson argued that doctrlno was essential to spiritual and moral life just ns the skeleton Is necessary to the body , Hut ho agreed with the joung men that the in caching should bo practical , and that only rsscntlal doctrlno should bo eivcn any place of prominence. Ho nigucd that a firm grasp of truth Is the only foundation of chiiractcr. "As a man thlnketh In his heart BO Is ho. " Iloaigued that the blgccst bigots were to bo found among the boosted liberals. Ho called attention to the fact , that no ono is required to subscribe to the Westminster confession ot faitli in order to become a Presbyterian. Ho maintained that the best sermon was the ono that did tlio best execu tion. Smiiitlonal I'rcncliors Loan Tholr Orlp. Jf preachers become sensational they lose their grip. After a man has once gene Into the show business ho must continue or lese Ills audience. Sectarianism keeps many young men out of the cliiu-ch. Mr. Patterson claimed that ho was not a stickler for sect. Ho was a Christian lirst ; n Presbyterian only because lie thought ho could do moro good in that denomination than In any other. Ho related Wesley's diciim how ho found representatives of all Beets in ihell , nnd not a single representa tive of nny sect in heaven. Ho deplored sectarianism as much ns anyone. Especially when in n small town all denominations rush in and disgrace Christianity. Ho accounted for the existence of sects on the theory of "many men of many minds" and the largeness ot truth. But because them are so many sects should not keep joung men away from church any morn than the fact that there are four or live railroads between hero and Chicago should prevent nny one from poiug to Chicago. Any of these roads will take a man to Chicago and any evangelical church has enough of the gospel to develop the Christian lifo and character. Some claim that they can bo asgood Chris tians without going to church. Perhaps they can , but they don't. Can a man grow ns strong nnd fat without eating as by tak ing the proper amount of food f So there are 'means Of grace. " Many young men complain of the lack of , Bocial life in the churches. Tholettcis in dicated , said the preacher , that Omaha churches nro sinners above all others in this regard. Mr. Patterson said that ho had no dofensn to offer for a cold and unsocial church. It deserved nil the abuse It re ceived. And yet ono young man was right when lie said that young men were largely to lilamo because of their immorality. .Furthermore , young men do not remain away from the theater because the proprietor does not erect them personally. Others com plained of inconsistent church members. Imperfections of ChrUtlnns. Mr. Patterson said : " 'It must needs bo that offenses shall come but woo unto him by whom the offense cometh.1 The first church of twelve members with Christ ns pastor had one Judas. Ho had the grace to go and hang himself , but modern Judascs are not so obliging. The devil still sows tares among the wheat , and Christ said they must grow together till the harvest. But the church makes no profession of perfec tion , Its members are composed of these that 'are being saved. ' Peter saw no church plro in heaven , because they are saints there and don't need the church. And Christ says to us Just ns Ho said to Peter when no objected to some followers : 'What is that to thcol Follow tliou mo. ' The ques tion is not is the church perfect in all its members , but are its alms right ? "If jou nro kept out of the church be cause of unworthy members the same reason would keen yoli out of the professions. Are them not quack doctors as well ns quack Christians ! Are there- not lawyers ho , like necessity , know no law ? "Tho charge Is made that preachers preach for revenue. " Mr. Patterson declared that it this were true most of them never were able to collect the revenue. Ho declared that most congregations promised the .Lord that if Ho would keep their preacher huinblo they would keep him poor. And most of them keep the promise very scrupulously. Most ministers who got largo salaries could Jmvo earned twice the amount by entering other professions. The charge that churches do not cnro for poor people was discussed and the preacher told the congregation that ho was n workingman - ingman and had not forgotten the rock from which ho wns hewn. At the close of his talk Mr. Patterson drew a graphic picture of the Benefit of communion with Oed ns illustrated In the life of Moses. The discussion will bo con cluded next Sunday night. The special meetings of the church week evenings have been discontinued for the present. WANT TO MARRY HIM. Bicrotnry Mnrtnn Dolucrd With F.-mlnlno 1'ropngiilfl. A Washington correspondent of tlio New York Sun thus gossips about trie sago of Arbor lodge : "Secretary Morton is the most approach- nblo man In President Cleveland's cabinet. Ho Is a widower , his \vito \ having died r.bout twelve ycnrs ago. His unmarried sister lives with him In Washington as she did in Ne braska , and will represent him socially dur ing the season , Mr. Morton Is a very fr.ink , genial , companionable kind of n man. He Is also good looking and well to do. Thcso at tractive qualifications hnvo become widely known since ho has been a member of the cabinet , and his mail very of ton contains the moat ardent , love letters from women in all conditions ot lifo in various parts of the United States , The secretary has received sentimental letters , poetical letters , businesslike letters , and straight out and out propositions of marringo too numerous to mention. Al- tuost every big city In the United States has brought him a matrimonial offer , and thu rural districts are dally being heard from. In some cases the ambitious spinsters and widows hnvo accompanied thnlr unique , pro posals with their photographs. The seine- tary has put thcso under lock ami key , but ho often reads extracts from his Interesting marriage correspondence to his personal friends , lie enjoys the novelty of the Int. tors , and thu most Intcicstlng of them ho malls to his sons ami daughteis nnd grand children nnd other relatives In Nebraska , Michigan , Chicago and elsewhere for their amusement and instruction. When the love letters nro returned his slbter puts them in the private tUcs for safe keeping. She has not yet como across any proposition tlmtshu is willing to endorse. As for the secretary , he ihlnks ho Is moot against the wiles of alj bin unknown correspondents , although , as ho says , no ono can tell what may happen. " Colorado L'ultlumnii Orcuntrp.

"Fnust" In Its modern garb , with Its pic turpsq.ua- stage settings and bewildering of fcctB , Is a very Interesting performance , not withstanding that the famous author of the room , Goethe , has been relegated to the fai distant background. Morrison's "Faust" The production of yes terday nt the Fifteenth Street theater wns witnessed by two Immense audiences , the nmtlnco being the largest of the season , witli the single exception of Now Year's day. And the performance made n deep impression upon those in front , for generally It was n well balanced performance , although Lewis Morrison , who is the Ideal Mophisto on this sldo the water , is out of the east , the part being played by Porter J. White , who sug gests his teacher not a little. Ho lias n voice very similar to Morrison's , and his man nerisms ami Intonations recall the elder man who gave "Faust" its present sotting. Fnust , otKJof the strong characters of the stage , requiring n sterling actor to play the part , is done by Francis J. layman , who while ho reads the lines with considerable ability , Is too much of n poseur to give an effcctlvo pprformanco. He looks the art , but ns a lover Is not what Faustus was ac cording to the immortal singer who gave him birth. Murtjuerlto is played very sweetly by Miss Verne , who was noon hero in the same tiart last season. She shows a close analysis of the part and in her accno with her brother played with excellent judgment. Uamo Martha , however. Is not realized by Mrs. Tapsfleld. the acidity of the woman who fell In love with his satanlo majesty being but faintly expressed , thu actress endeavoring to make it a .soubrutto part when it should bo pla > ed as a straight character role. The other parts are In capable hands and the play is presented upon n magnificent scute , the Brockcn scene being among i wonder achievements of the stage and the apotheosis , iho translation of Marguerite on a shaft of lignt. fittingly bringing to a close a very creditable pcriormanco. "Tuxoilo" nt Itoyd's. "Tuxedo" Is described on the bills as a successful minstrel farce comedy. It was successful at the Bovd last evening , but whether it is minstrel , farcical or comic Is a question concerning which , there is no doubt , the lovers of real minstrelsy , real farce nnd real comedy would have an oppor tunity to dispute with those who have not the highest ideals of these parts. There was much laughter and applause at the Boyd last evening , nnd while some of It was o lcgltimnte creation , much of it can only bo explained on the theory that peoples for get puns and jukes. It would not do , however , to convoy the Impression that this performance is without excellence , but its merits aio ns variegated in quality ns are Its costumes ana maitcups in appearance , nnd in ono of the best parts of the entertainment the false whisknrs of Oklahoma Jack , though black and glisten ing , were not more plainly visible than llio machinery that held them on. It is not necessary to call a doctor for a cut'or bruise ; get Salvation Oil. Only 25 cts. WAS VARIEGATED DISORDER Negro , Indian and Whlto .Mnn linvo n I'l ht Over it German \Voiniin. The most varied assortment of humanity unloaded at the station for months was brought In early yesterday morning for fighting. There was Jimmy Colllgan from Ireland , Mrs. Keiscr from Germany , William Grimes from Africa and Black Horse of1 the Pine Ridge agency. They were all drunk. They wore all in a shanty on Tom Mur ray's block and creating something of a dis turbance. Officers Bruce and Drummy hap pened along to sec the cause of this. Mr. Grimes had just completed taking a Mo out of Black Horse's cheek and Black Hbrso was "Just after" beating Mr. Colllgan. The fighting arose ocer a dispute as to which possessed the affections of Mrs. hTeiscr , each claiming them , but as Colllgan Is paying the household bills ho claimed a pi lor right and asserted himself very en cr itically. At the station a very affectionate nugglng match took place within the jail enclosure , and here , ns well ns elsewhere , the Indian had right of way. Each was taken to a cell swearing vengeance on the others. Black Horse had just got out of the county ail for stealing furs from Shukcrt some Lime ago. / Tlio Itusli to California - [ s so great nowadays that ono is apt to imagine all the world and Ins wife are headed for the Pacific coast.

To the Editor of Tin ) SEE : On the question of the issuance of bonds by the city of Omaha- aid the Met ropolitan Union Depot company In acquiring ground nnd building a depot. I trust you are villmg to publish a sincere expression of he sentiment held by many respectable cltl- ens , whether such sentiment accord fully vith your own or not. There Is n growing eeling that the interests of the city nro not properly nnd faithfully guarded and ervedf , oven by the ofllccrs who are hosqn nnd solemnly sworn for that crypurpose. The science of subjecting mbllc interests to private ends probhbly ms never been better understood or moro hro\\dly practiced than in late years. When . think of some things that have occurred in ho history of Omaha I see , in imagination , a ilclure In which Omaha appears as a patient donKcy , with a number of rich men ridlncon ts hack and neck. The donkey has a hard Imo , hut it Is comforted b.\ cheap ribbons rlcd to its cars and tail , and at times percop- ibly enthused and raises its voice spnsmod- cally nnd tries to sing. Following close behind is n company of ityofllcers with silk hats , catching c'olna hrown to them by the rich riders. Some f thcso ofllccrs oven carry goads , with * vhieh they occasionally prick the patient donkey , and they sing a song , the refrain of vhlch is : "Oil ! pialse the mighty dollar ; lAtt up your lolou and holler. ' This depot enterprise may bo an excellent no and Just what the city needs. But , If 0 , this is n very gcod reason why the pro- notcrs of It should not ask aid from the city n bonds. If It Is not the best thing , then his Is a very good reason why such aid hould not bo asked. Docs any ono pretend n bo nblo to prove that a suitable depot cannot bo built without making nn uuprotlt- iblo Investment ? Is that the sort of Invest- ncnt the city Is to bo asked to make ? If ho capitalists specially interested see in his project a profitable investment , then low generous and philanthropic they must bo to withhold their money and their efforts until a largo bonus Is given by the city I Are wo blind enough nnd Ignorant enough o believe that men who will act In this wav are thu best friends of the city , or that thcv TO the chief promoters of the city's wel- are } Why should thcso men ask for these lomisl Why cannot railroad companies build suitable depots in Omaha as well as in other citlcsl Omaha's Indebtedness Is largo enough. It ought not to incur any more. B. F. COVKIUX. Ncxv Y. M. C. A. I'llJHliMl Director.

CHA1UTY WOKK. I'lnn for ICellatliiR the Nrrdy Who Are Ton Proud tn Auk Aid. OMAHA , Jan. 17. To the Editor of Tun Beit : A few of us men and women , young and old , hnvo banded together for tho. pur pose of helping these who nro out of work and too proud to ask aid of any organised charity , people who have always been Inde pendent and who have been in the habit of giving to others , nnd would rather starve nnd freeze than ask aid of any public asso ciation. Our headquarters are at Dr. Dur- yea's church. Wo have great dlfllculty In reaching the class of persons wo desire to help and ns it Is impossible to meet and talk in a friendly way with the Individuals wo take this means of making Known our desires nnd to assure nil that wo conMdur It the greatest privllcgo to bo able to assist and tide over this season of suffering nnd hard timrs , which , by the way , wo earnestly hope will bo of short duration. Ono way in which wo hope to reach per sons who are foolishly reticent as to their necessities Is through the influence of friends who nro cognizant , of the facts. If you can make up your mind to speak of the state of your troubles to some friend nnd Iho friend will report to us either , nt the postoftleo or at the First Congrcgtulonal church , wo will donate to the friend what ever is best suited to your immediate needs. Your name or place of residence need not bo known to us ; In fact , wo would rather not bo burdened with nny facts or statistics. That you are in need and worthy Is all that wo desire to know. Each person has a circle of friends , bo It little or small , and if in n neighborhood anyone ono knows of a person who would likely bo In noe.il througn a long siege of enforced idle ness or perhaps sicitnoss and death , as It has been our sad privilege in many instances la'oiy , wo will consider it n favor if the same Is reported to us. It possible , como and cot the supplies yourself nnd take them to the needv one. and no ono will be any wiser and one moro will thus ho helped to clothing , food or fuel , or whatever is demanded or needed. But wo wish to urge all these who have wants to make them known tons personally , if it Is possible to do so. The distress Is so creat and so far-reaching that no ono need bo afraid of bolnc misunderstood if ho asks for a little aid these times. Just call nt the church on the coruerof Nineteenth nnd Dav enport and tell your stoiv and wo will be glad to honor the draft on human kindness without asking to liavn you identified too closely. Wo started our band without much money and once or twice have been down to bed rock , but wo believe God is sending us help , * and at prcscnt > wa have ample means to aid many , coth as to clothes or food. Wo do not call ourselves an organization ; wo work in the name of no special church , but have re ceived donations from almost every church in the city , so we nro really only endeavor ing to give what is intrusted to us for dis tribution. For this reason none should bo. timid in calling on us. Wo hope to keep above creeds and schisms and to do human ity good In the very present time of need. Wo appeal to every tender-hearted man and Woman in Omaha to help us .by forming yourself into .1 committee of ono to look after your immediate friends , and lot us not bo hindered by lack of work to do , when wo are ready and anxious to. do the work so as to hurt nonc , > but help all who are deserving and suffering. . Kiur.p. : Tlio Kx-Congrcnnmnu Overwhelmed with J'mlso In Umnlm. Frank Lawlor is home from a trip to Omaha , says the Chicago Herald. Ho went west to hoi ] ) in the Jacksonian banquet , and on the list of toasts his name was sub stituted for that of Secretary Morton , who was unable to bo present. The papers of the city gave the ex-congressman as much space ns would bo allowed to President Cleveland and so completely lionized him that ho confesses Tlo would as soon live in Omaha ns Chicago but for forty-two years of associations wllh friends by the thou sands. Mr. Lawier is especially enthusiastic over Omaha's public huildings , pronouncing the council chamber the finest in tlio country. and the whole city hall without equal in its adaptability. Ho visited the St. Joseph Memorial hospital , built nt a cost of $200,000 , and uses nothing but superlative adjectives In connection therewith. Mayor Bemls also comes In for compliments , Mr. . Lawier des ignating him as the most sensible republican ho ever saw. Omaha has Its army of unem ployed , but the citizens have made splendid resultn in aealing - with this problem. "Politics , " repeated ho. "Oh , I guess 1 have done enough in this line , and that reminds mo that I advised a society of young men the other night to vote and end their politi cal life right there. It has been suggested that I am after the United States marshal- ship. I would not walk across the strcot for It , but in case the president offers it I will accept. No , sir , my business will henceforth bo insurance and real estate , and I propose to don line of work which has surer returns than political endeavors. " Tribute to llurvoy Wellg.

I did appeal to them that when the icing season opened those men be given employ ment along with others , but made no stipu lation as to wages , nnd such a thine as a contract never entered my head. The Knights probably drew up thcso resolutions from hearsay , as the only foundation I can lay for them is the facts I have stated above. "I only desire it understood plainly that there uould bo no pecuniary gain for mo in such an arrangement. The only aim I hnvo In the matter Is to see that these in my care are properly attended to.and , as It Is always to the benefit of a person to be employed , I have taken all iho steps in my power to this end. but so far with poorsjcccss. "I am In hearty accord with the Knlchts of Labor nnd , In fact , with every organiza tion for the bettering of the wages of the laboring man and the upbuilding of labor In all its branches. I wish to bo thoroughly understood on this point In particular that I am not doing anything , nor will I do any thing , to the detriment of this cause. It would bo ridiculous lor me so to do , ns these labor organizations have contributed liber ally to tha cause of charity in this city , which they might not continue should they meet opposition from the sources they are endeavoring to benefit. Is Not Mlsreprcscntlnc rnctfl. "As to the last paragraph of the rcsolti tions , in which it is alleged I use my position to disguise the facts as they exist , I would say that such n statement is unwarranted and uncalled for , but , of comse , as trie Knights did not learn the true faets , and as they would bo justified in the statement were what Is allcpcd true , 1 can readily overlook it. "In closing I would say that the citl/ens of tins city have been exceedingly ccnerous in their contributions , and , while we are sutisllcd with the results obtained in Hi in way , it is feared that unless work can bo procured for thcso unfortunates soon the suffering. , will bo great , as the number con tinues to increase dally.

AXXOUXCKMCfi TS. James O'Neill comes to Boyd's theater next Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinee , nnd will appear in "Monte Cnsto. " It is only In deference to the tvi&hcs of the theater-goers that Mr. O'Neill lias consented , after a period of five years , to present "Monte Cristo" in Omaha again. As the honest sailor lad , Eamond Dautcs , ho has the careless grace , droll humor and brisk heartiness characteristic of that typo. As the count his bearing is dig nified and firm nnd ho assumes the air of high breeding befitting the man of the world. His impersonation of the Abbo Busouiluis always been held up as the best representation on the stage of a clergyman , and ministers of all denominations avail themselves of the opportunity to pay their tribute to Mr. O'Neill's genius by flocking to the theater as soon as his arrival in the cltv is announced. As piesented on the stage "Monto Cristo'1 is a melodrama ; in fact , it is the most characteristic and legitimate of any melodrama over seen In this country. That Mr. O'Neill and his selected company of players will bo ono of the strongest at tractions Boyd's theater could have secured for its patrons Is beyond question. Sale of scats opens this morning.

No wonder school children "creep like snails unwillingly to school find go storming out at playtimo. Five long hours in a crowded , malod orous schoolroom severely tax the nervous - ' vous systems of teaclie'rs nnd scolars. 1'ropor ventilation without drafts Is a diflictilt , unsolved problem. Drowsi ness , headaches and other olTocts of bad uir show themselves. Observe the listless , exhausted nir and the palo fticos of scholars about closing time. A prominent physician , sponking of Prof. Kliot's timely criticism of our grammar schools , says : "Our public schools nro exhausting the vitality of our children. " "For children and all persons closely confined during the winter in shops , stores and schools who are weak , sickly I'KINCIl'AL lUDOWAY. and out of sorts , a true blood and nerve tonic ia the only thing that will restore the color of health to their cheoke and ( ill out their frames. I have found Pal no's celery compound the best adap ted to thcso cases of lowered vitality and lack of nervous tone.

Such a renmrkablo remedy is Palno's celery compound.
