THE OMAHA DAILY BE&l FRIDAY. JUNE 8. 1801 'WVEN A WESTERN WELCOME ( Continued from First Pace. ) called the Camp church , named after Rov. Camp , who established It. It was a poor llttlo place ; you could nlmost touch the top of It. And I sold to lhq brethren , "Why can't wo got a better place 7" And wo found nn abandoned church that had formerly been ft Baptist church down In that section Of tha country , and wo raised the money , and wo paid for It by the help of the Church Building society , and we bavo been at work ever since there , on Christy street. That Is only n drop ID the bucket. It Is right In the midst of the throbbing population. Wo have everything there you can Imagine ; wo have the gospel , and wo have tempcranco work , and wo have kinder garten every day where women can take their children and leave them whllo they go to work , and wo have bible classes and Sun day schools and a constantly Increasing membership. It In a llttlo thing , It seems to mo to bo a very small work very small , compared with this out hero In Nebraska. Lilt Sunday I was In Gatesburg , and I was Invited to go over to the other sldo of tha city by Mr. Wanamaker. There Is a largo population there that Is really without a church. lie has got a llttlo building there and has begun his work , just as the work always begins , with a Sunday school. When I first got In It seemed to mo to bo very small , but pretty soon he began opening up ddors on the right and doors on the left , and there must have been room for 250 or 300 people , and he told mo ho had fifty Christian people ready to enroll In a now church. Some of the brethren talk very discounted about It becausa they can glvo so little , be cause they have so llttlo. What you want Is a man Ilko him to stay there and keep right on a' man who Is full of devotion and self-sacrifice , and who looks to Oed und to God alone for help. Last night I had a dream , a singular dream. I dreamed I was In battle , and I dread those kind of dreams very muc'i In deed , for I am always In a fix. I coul.ln t get my armor on. The firing was so rrpld , arid I thought I wanted a musket or a rlflo to fire , and then I thought about the modern rllles and wanted a good deal bolter fine than I saw there. I wanted ono that was breech-loading , so that I could 1'ru ' i.ipidly , and then I was afraid that I would Jilt I nine- body. I could see no way to get away from the shells and from the firing , and I was In great distress about It , and then" finally I concluded that I would buckle on my sword as an emblem Of authority , and then I awoke. When I awoke it was daylight , and when I got up I baw a lltlo tablet In my room I was at Judge Woolworth's house , and Just these words upon It : "Let nothing trouble you. ' Just think how frightened I was ; "All things pass away ; God alone la Immutable. I'ationco overcomes all difficulties. Those who possess God want nothing. God alone sufllces. " Oh , dear brethren , how true that la ! Don't you know the passage of scripture , "It two shall agrco It shall bo done of my Father In heaven. " There used to bo a man In this church , and I ex pected to see him here , who used to agree with me , and ho was about the only one that ever did , fully and thoroughly. Wo would go up for example In his house , and wo would take a bible there together and pray together , and then wo would go out and apeak to Individuals together , or some times wo would go out separately and come back and report to each other. So I used to think * that If we two agreed and the spirit agreed with us then there were three of us that agreed , and the thing wo wanted could bo accomplished. Now , dear brethren. If wo want money lot us just agrco and ask for it. It Is In the country. Did you think It was oil gene just because It has been gathered up and so Its circulation prevented ? Let us ask the Lord for It. ( Applause. ) ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. Following General Howard yesterday mornIng - Ing , Joseph D. Clark , the secretary , presented a paper on behalf ot tho" executive commit tee entitled "Bright Spots In a Dark Year. " The paper follows : The sixty-eighth year of the national soci ety has been financially the darkest year In Its entlra history. Tha sudden shrinkage of 30 per cent in the annual Income cf the treasury was an unparalleled event , carrying In Its train complications and disasters that have affected every missionary field and every missionary homo In the country. But It Is not to dwell upon this dark story that wo have met. A home missionary gathering Is proverbially a feast of gladness and hope. This ono shall be no exception. The black shadow of the year just closed Is thrown upon the canvass , for a moment only , to serve as a background for the bright spots of which the year has been exceptionally full. One of the brightest ot tlie.se spots was the resolve formulated early In the year , which sees its realization today In the Omaha meet- Ing. That hour Is an epoch In homo mis sionary history , when for the first time , after Blxty-olghl years of faith and works , eastern and westcru Congregationalism meet on gon- ulno homo missionary ground and Btilko hands over the field they have together farmed with such cost and labor.

UAaNIflCKNTI.Y IIAUSTJUTCD. of our first meeting la significant. Almost In the geographical center of the United Slates this city and commonwealth are a fait typo and example of nearly every clement entering Into the homo mlislonary problem , Hero haii been Illu trnted that rush of popu- latlons which lies nlwaya been the chief spur to homo missionary effort , and which , In a single generation , Jiaa transformed a hamlet of 2,000 people Into a princely city. Here haa been realized that magic development of wealth aid material prosperity which arc at once the glory and the peril of the west , and which haa so often been used to oharpcn the home mlsilonary appeal for goapel Insti tutions. Through tliln city also , as through a gateway , swelling tides of humanity have poured to people the farther west , carrying wllli them the cvor growing argument and demand for homo missionary effort. Tha placn Is well chosen for such a mooting , nnd It will bo atrange If here the eastern giver nnd the western worker do not BOO eye for eye , anil If both arc not Inspired to a new and moro enlightened devotion to the work that remains to bo done for the complete possession of America. NK\V AUXILIARY UELATIONS. The year Just closed has also ben marked by the consummation of a scheme which promises , If cordially nnd Intelligently car ried out , to bind the national society and Its auxiliaries In closer and moro helpful rela tions. The original compact , ' /listing now for moro than sixty years , has become ) out grown. With certain notable exceptions , that perfect sympathy of aim and effort which ought to prevail between a society and Its branches was not being realized , and a condition amounting In Its practical effect to ono of rivalry had sprung up be tween the two. The only appeal hoard In some of the auxiliary states was the local state appeal. The cause of national homo missions , known to the early fathers as the cry ot regions beyond , had lost much of Its force. On the other hand , the national so ciety had become unconsciously absorbed In Its own special work until , In Its knowledge ) and sympathy. It knew no other , and the auxiliary relation was becoming scarcely moro than an empty name. It Is duo both to the national society and to Its auxiliaries to say that this state of things was owing not to any real rivalry between stnto and national homo missions. It was duo rather to an unhappy system Inherited from the far past and outgrown for present use. All the whllo the missionary needs of both the na tional society and Its auxiliaries were In creasing. Now states were being opened and peopled , demanding Increased funds for their care which only the auxiliary states were able to supply. Yet , among them also , new and threatening problems were multi plying , calling for larger resources , and re quiring the sympathy and co-operation of all the missionary forces In the land. It was In this crisis that our twelve auxil iaries cast and \\cst were Invited to send delegates to New York to meet the executive committee of the national society , and to form a new compact which should , on the one hand , kindle a fresh sympathy on the part of the national society In the \\orlc of Its auxiliaries , several of whom had once boon Its own children , and , on the other hand , should revive In the auxiliary .a now zeal for home missions outsldo Its own borders , and a purpose to raise and save funds for the needy regions beyond. The first convention of this sort was held In 1893 , with only partial success. The second wns called In January last , when eleven of the twelve auxiliary states were present by their official delegates. For a whole day wo sat together reviewing the missionary needs of the entire country , dis cussing and fixing the appropriations of each state , nnd pledging ono another our best mutual effort to raise the largest possible fund , not alone for our own commonwealths , but for the missionary needs of the United States. Three essential results are to be noted : First , nil homo missionary funds , wherever pledged , are practically pooled In a common store and divided according to the necesltles not of ono state , but of all the states ; , second , the home mlslonary appeal Is thus broadened to cover the whole land and to Include the needs of every state and territory- ; and third , the new com pact levels nn old barrier , which has thus far excluded the leprescntitlvcs of the national society from pleading its claims , except by sufferance , within the bounds of the auxiliary , , and henceforth the national and the stnto secretory stand sldo , by side In every state , presenting the missionary needs both of the state and the nation. The cause of either Is now the cause ot both. Such Is our new auxiliary compact formed In January last. Wo confidently hope , that It means Increased Knowledge among the churches respecting their work , n sym pathy so broad as to know no distinction between state nnd national home missions , and a new method of appeal which should vastly Increase the funds needed , for the re demption of our common country. Do we not rightly count It a bright and hopeful omen that Vermont and New Hampshire , Illinois and Wisconsin , Iowa and Michigan , oppressed rnch of them with HI own mis sionary problem , declare their purpose to make common cause with Nebraska and Kansas , Washington and Oregon , California and Oklahoma , in planting their waste places with the gospel of life ? FRUITFUL IIUVIVALS. Turning now to the bioad field , one feature of the year Just closed looms conspicuous above nil others. It has been a year of al most unprecedented spiritual results. Re vivals of unusual number and power are re ported In every department. Again , as often before , man's necessity has been the spirit's opportunity. Disappointed hopes , vanishing fortunes , the leisure enforced by falling work have combined to draw or drive men towards the offered comforts of the gospel and the church , nnd the missionary pastor has been quick to seize the precious opportu nity for enforcing his divine message. The ordinary church life , especially on the frontier , Is so quiet In Its movements that Us value Is often obscured , But , when social or Industrial conditions conspire to make men thoughtful about their higher needs , then the presence of the church and minis try become of Immeabureablo worth , to the community. So It has proved all over the missionary field during this year of temporal distress nnd spiritual abundance. The whole length of the Pacific coast from Washington to southern California has been visited. Fourteen churches In Oregon were specifically blessed , and no year In Its whole history has been so noted for the number nnd quality of icvlvals. The two Callfornlas continue thn 6tory. Across the northern frontier Ima swept the same gracloimMIVO. . Sixteen churches In North Dakota have been blessed and that without , the bpcclal aid of any state evangelist. In Minnesota an In stance will best Illustrnto the spirit's power. The town of Now Ulm was founded by In fidels , who once burned nn effigy of Christ In their streets. For ten years our llttlo church has struggled for Us very life In this bitterly hostile air. But gradually the unbelief of Iho community has been modified. Christian men were placed upon thn school board and Christian teachers were engaged In the schools , and In the past winter the whole town has been shaken for the first time v > ltli a revival. Our own church has very nearly trebled Us membership and all the churches of the community have been strengthened. Down through the central tier ot states nlso the same power hai been felt. South Dakota , under general missionaries , Tonilln and Illtchcoclc. reports twenty-seven marked revivals , nnd Miss Kmma K , Henry's efforts nlono resulted In 250 professed con versions. Nebraska has the cheering story of fourteen revivals und 36S conversions. Kansas rejoices In over 500 such fruits of the spirit's work , Indiana In 400 , Florida In 300. whllo Utah , Idaho nnd Oklahoma icpeat the same story of giaco anil fruit. Yes , the blackness of poverty and want have rested like a pall upon the land , and nowhure moro deeply tlmn over our mission ary fields. In many n missionary home the fig tree has not blossomed und there has boon no fruit on the vine. The labor of tha nllvo hns failed and the field has yielded nn me.U , the ( lock AMIS cut nft from tba fold nnd there uas nn herd In the fatall , hut the pastor and the people have together ro- jolecd In the Lord nnd Joyed In the God of their salvation. And while our friends of the cast have been compelled to reduce their gifts to the treasury , the work Itself was yielding nn Increase wjiosq like has not been \\ltiicB8cd since the f4roo.ua yrar of ' 57 and ' 53. Drcthrort , have not the home mis sionary church , and pastor earned a new clnliU to the confidence and Hitppart of the wholu Congregational household ? A lively spot , If not 411 altogether bright one , In the story of the y.cac was Uio Invasion ot the Cherokee Strip on tlio 10th ot Sep tember. It Uwll that tiur country has but few remaining rosem * v."hsrUiii eccnoa of that day con ev'cr bo repeated. The mad scramble for real estate began at noon , when moro than 100 000 men and women at a given signal crossed the boundary In wauons. nn horseback , on freight cara ot nfoot , nnd set forth on the frantic race for corner lots. Under the direction of our .Superintendent I'arkor , five mlsalonarleii ot the society Joined In that terrible rout , and before night had driven their slakes and preempted claims In the six county scats of nnld nnd Paul Creek , Santa Fo and I'erry , Woodward nnd Parsons , not for themselves , but for Christ and Congregationalism. On the next day , which was the Sabbath , they held religious services In the open air for such as were disposed to attend , and from that day to this have been laying the foun dations ot churches. Never before probably In any now country has the church and the saloon had BO cvon a start , and It would be a reproach upon American Congregation * allsin If In any enforced reduction these bravo pioneers should be loft without the sympathy and support of God's people. The Whole of Oklahoma , of which tlio Strip Is now a part , Is already a garden spot In the homo missionary field. Sixty-seven churches nnd stations are open today , where flvo years ago there was nothing. In them ara gathered 95G Chrlstlon Houls and In their Sunday schools 2,859 members. Nowhere , wo venture to affirm , has this record been paralleled In the snmo period ot time In anew now country slnco the work of national homo missions began , IIOPD FOR UTAH. Another luminous point In the darkness of the sixty-eighth year Is found In Utah and Idaho. Some very marked changes have occurred In the conditions of this field with in n few months , and all of them nro full of promise. The non-Mormon population has Increased , whllo apostates from the Mormon mon church Itself have rapidly multiplied. Mormon preaching has taken n perceptibly milder type , whllo a quickened Interest In national politics Is pervading the Mormon population. Dissatisfaction with polygamy Is on the Increase , especially among the younger Mormons , while the Old church party that hitherto has held Its followers with a hand of Iron , seems to bo disintegrating and ItR elements distributing themselves among the various parties of the territory. Hero are hopeful signs of a breaking .up. With these changing conditions of the field the Christian forces on the ground have drawn moro closely together and present almost for the first time a united front to the foe. The association of ministers In Salt Lake City Is the prophecy of n new era , when the Episcopal , the Lutheran , the Disciples , the Daptlst , the Methodist , the Presbyterian and the Congregational pastors meet together every Monday for serious conference over the common good and for united action. So far has this good spirit gene in Idaho that at the suggestion of a presiding elder of the Methodist church a conference of all denomi nations was held to devise some method by which to avoid the duplication of religious effort on each other's ground. It Is not to be wondered at that re'vlvnls have sprung up" In this atmosphere of Chrlstlaa courtesy , yet strange , Indeed , would It bo If the mil lennium of Christian unity and co-operation were to dawn In that most unexpected quar ter. ter.In In this search for bright spots our south ern field deserves a moment of grateful re view. Florida , with Its fifty-eight Congre gational churches and stations , where , ten years ago there was one. Is Itself a notable example of home missionary development. And the brightest spot In Florida at the present moment Is at Ybor City , a suburb of Tampa , where a Cuban mission of great promise Is now well begun. The general association of the state , holding Its annual meeting at Tampa last February , adjourned ono of its sessions to the new chapel at Ybor City , among the dark-skinned Cubans of that community. The body was wel comed with Spanish addresses and songs , which were translated into English by Rev. B. P. Herrlck of the Tampa church , while the responses of the English brethren were conveyed to the audience In Spanish by Mr. Hernandez , their pastor. The Christian women of Florida trained In our homo mis sionary churches nro enthusiastically main taining this work In connection with , the Tampa church and pastor , while their beau tiful church homo Is the gift chiefly of Con necticut friends. Georgia and Alabama have now both taken a step forward In the solution of the caste problem by the organization In each state of a general convention , In which both colors are represented and where com plete Christian fellowship 13 enjoyed. Pil grim church at Knoxvllle , Tenn. , has com pleted and nearly paid for its beautiful church edifice , an ornament to the city and the home of as happy a band of Con gregational pilgrims a can be found In the land. Our church In Chattanooga plants ltaswork not along side of other churches , but In a neglected ward where institutional methods are needed , nnd where they are already being tried with success , whllo at Charlotte , N. C. , our young church , still under a tent , Is erecting a moro permanent home in the heart of a native southern community whose good \vill U has already gained. The friends of homo missions gathered at Omaha have no reason for fear or doubt concerning their work In "tho south land. IN OTHER FIELDS. Glancing now broadly over the remainIng - Ing fields , luminous points are visible In all directions. Washington Is no longer the victim of Its great boom. For the past two years it has not lost a church or preaching sta tion , and during the last- twelve months has actually organized eleven new churches with an aggregate membership of 206 , whllo In Spokane the First Congregational church and the Westminster Presbyterian church have been icorganlzed Into the Westmin ster Congregational church , a suggestive example of ono possible remedy for the burden of hard times. Northern California has moro than re deemed Its pledge of contributions to the society's treasury , the only state In thp field that has done so , .and as a fruit of the vigilance ot the new superintendent every church has had the service of a pastor or supply every Sabbath In the year , The same is true ot southern California ; and outside this one great state probably this record cannot bo duplicated. In Kansas , the cheering but not aston ishing fact Is chronicled that the Congre gational policy and methods are steadily advancing In favor with the people , a fact Wholly consistent with the well known In telligence of the commonwealth. The same state of things Is reported In North Da kota , a fact that might have been expected from a people that shot the Louisiana lot tery out ot Its capital with such vigor that It never stopped until It reached Central America. Missouri and Arkansas have had a year ot re-adjustment under a new superintend ent , who now has the work well In hand , and with the loyal co-operation of a de voted committee looks to a future full of promise. Worcester academy In Indian territory has added a girls' cottage to Its working equipment , by which Its opportunities are nearly doubled. Pennsylvania brings the cheering report of 1,500 conversions and additions. The Tabeinacle nnd Wnvorly churches of Jersey City have never had a better year nor reached BO many people. Colorado lies under the disadvantage of being owned chiefly In Now York , Boston and Rngland , nnd has suffered moro than most states In its Industrial Interest. Yet It reports numerous revivals and over COO additions to the missionary churches. New Mexico presents to the Congre gational fellowship a now and purely Mexi can church of eighteen members. Our little band In Montana has como through the fearful depression ot the year alive , but with disastrous reductions In membership , caused by Inevitable removals , yet ono now agd very promising church at Conner has been added to tha family , The Dlack Hill ! ! district reports one church that has Increased 70 per cent In all Its departments , another that has witnessed 100 conversions , and from many points the desire for Congregational work Is breaking forth In petitions sent to the superintend ent , alt of which must bo denied. In Texas uvciy church but ono has been visited with revival blessings , the Dallas church alone recoiling 138 new members. Nebraska. Is all around us to speak for herself , and wo are here with eyes to seo. Superintendent Dross , whose preparations for this anniversary have been untiring , says : "Our people are looking forward with eager anticipations to the coming an niversary ot the society In Omaha , Our Nebraska churches , Which nro nearly nil the Eoclcty's children , will glvo UK repre sentatives m most hearty and enthusiastic welcome , and will have abundant results to bhow for the years that are i/ant. / " Al ready tills gracious promise of welcome haa been generously fulfilled. FOREIGN DEPARTMENTS. Moro and more each year public Interest deepens In th loclety'i foreign work , and the record of the past twelve months more than over Justifies .the cost ot the enter prise. On\ ( Upon our Scnnflfjuvlnn department haa fallen a ulnastcr lilinost unmeasured In the death of Superintendent Montgomery. Ho wns Its founder and its unwearied friend. Ilia visit to SwedetCl3ll8S4 , nnd the record of his discoveries prodnccd a remarkable sensation throughout UTe denomination , Ills sympathy with llifj , fj o , mission movement has drawn many of Its churches Into Con gregational fellowship , where by every tie ot faith and practTCe1 tlicy belong. Thcso churches loved lilniiaflplillilren love a father and they mourn him as tenderly as any ot Jils American brethren can do. How to fill the unique place which ho created by Ills peculiar gifts' 1s still on unsolved problem , but for Uia time being the state superintendents , where the work In found , will faithfully care tor Its Interests. The story ot the Slavic department might fill a paper by Itself , and would reward the attention of this audlcnco to the lost word. At ono of our recent annual meetings the gathering and recognition of a first Bohe mian Congregational church at Cleveland was heralded as an Inspiring event. This ono Slavic charch has already become ten churches with an aggregate membership ol 554 , Including recent additions of 12G , all but six of whom were on confession of faith. Connected with the department nro sixteen Sunday schools with a membership ot 2,815. Thlrty-ono missionaries , besides flvo wives who are regular assistants , condlict the work. They labor In nlno stales , at thirty-two sta tions and out-stations. In their Sabbath and weekly services are gathered C.OOO people to hear the gospel , and these people out of their poverty gave last year ? GSG to missions. The work , however , Is largely a hand-to-hand work , Involving visits during the year to the number of 20,878 , and the distribution of 278,000 pages of religious literature. In Cleveland and In Chicago the year has been marked by a largo Increase In attend ance. St. Paul and St. Louis report , each one , the organization of a new Bohemian church. The Polish work In Cleveland , De troit , Toledo and Chicago has made a de cided gain In ovcrco'mlng local prejudices. The Slavic work In Pennsylvania has grown spiritually strong , In spite of bitter opposi tion , while the Magyar work In Connecticut has given proof of the genuineness of Its life In ten souls converted. In the German department of the society's work eleven new churches have been or ganized during the year. Including the pastors of eleven self-supporting churches , the missionary force connected with this de partment numbers sixty. In the whole coun try there are now 105 German Congregational churches. Six of these have been largely blessed with revivals during the past twelve months. An Important auxiliary of the German department Is the Theological sem inary at Crete , Neb. Through many financial struggles this Institution is now seeing bet ter days and enjoys tlio confidence of the churches and the people more than ever be fore. Its students are earnest and consecrated crated men , and promise to be mose faithful laborers among their own people for years to come. For a long tlmo now. It has been past all question that our Congregational policy Is well adapted to the tastes and needs of the Gorman people. It grows continually In their favor and demands are continually made upon the superintendent for the organization ot Congregational churches , la a recent In stance fifty-three persons signed such a pe tition , which might ftisjly have been extended to 100. Yet , because sofi the .restrictions laid upon our treasury , this and all such petitions have to bo denied.a jic Such Is the condensed story ot the sixty- eighth year , at onq'o'tho , darkest and bright est year of natlona.1 > home missions. The number of commissioned men has been 2,029 , the largest over reported. The years of labor performed exceeded those of the pre vious year by forty-six ! The number who have preached lu fordlgn languages has been 218 , an Increaseot forty-two. Eighty- nine moro preacltfng" Stations have been statedly supplied , \thUC 'conversions'- ' ad ditions hove exceeded the best previous year by several thousand. The number of Sunday schools under missionary care has Increased by 137 , and 5,250 more scholars' ' are reported on the rolls ? ' And allifh'ese gains have been made undec a , clouil'Sf Mistress nnd often of absolute want In "nXi&Ubhary homes , 'thfown back , by Uio In'amMliy 'of the people .to meet their pledge for' hp'.nilssUmary's support upon the unsupplemonted grflnts'of ( the so ciety. Such a record under such conditions Is without parallel , It deserves a prayer of thanksgiving from every Christian patriot In the 5,000 Congregational churches of the land" Alas , that the only recognition within the power of the executive committee to offer has been to cut down this heaven apJ proved work by withdrawing $75,000 from Its support ! Brethren , shall our bravo and suc cessful home missionaries bo the chief suf ferers In these pinching times ? IB there no new measure of self-denial possible on our part to prevent It ? Before this stern decree of retrenchment shall bo Consummated , be fore the llttlo churches shall be closed and the humble flocks scattered , If possible within tha next thirty days , Is It not In the heart and within the power of tboso who love and believein this- work , to roll up a rescue fund of $75,000 and avert the terrible disaster ? ' ' "OUR AUXILIARIES. " ' Rev. Alexander McGregor of Rhode Is land then delivered an address on "Our Auxiliaries. " Ho said : , I will make my paper very short , partly because I came from the smallest state In the union , and partly because of the an nouncement ot free lemonade Is too great a temptation. A year ago today , and Just about this time , I took part In services commemorative of the founding 250 years ago of the New man church and tha ancient town of Reha- Toth. The circumstances of this occasion have a slight resemblance to that occasion , as it lingers In my mind. When Samuel Newman , the pastor of the church In ques tion , and the author of the now famous con cordance bearing his name , felt constrained In 1G43 to bow himself out ot Boston , he , or ono of his party. Is reputed to hnve said ; "Wo came from England because we did not like the lord bishops , but wo cannot Join with you because we would not bo under 'the lord brthren. " " Accordingly , when the same Newman nnd party reached the spot in the wilderness where they resolved to sot up their banners In the name ot their God , ho exclaimed : "Rohabotb , the Lord hath made room for us. " Thcso men found what they wanted room. "Thero were giants In the earth In those days. " It does seem to me. It has seemed to me as wo trav eled over the wide prairies that Intervene between Nebraska and Rhbdo Island as If assuredly the Lord of the earth saw In the American people giants In embryo and so prepared plenty of room for them , oven from sea to sea , with untold capabilities and re sources. Believe me that though Innocent by birth and nature of spread eaglelsm , nevertheless I have learned my part that often "abovo the Cara , " In Scotch accents , I am beard exclaiming ; "Land of the noble free , thy name I leva. . I love thy rocks and rills , thy woods olid templed hills ; my heart with rapture thrlls ) like that abovo. " Then again I recall Jtiat In last October I participated In exerTIe s commemorative of the 150th anniversary * of the Beneficent church in Provldence7 "Whoso first pastor wns Rov. Joilah Cotton ! aftd Us last Rev. J. G. Vcse , who was prccwleU'by our esteemed late secretary , Dr , Clappi f 'llo gave a decade of his best years to ItHfpastorato. I am led In this comparatively' ' youtblul presence to refer to those annlorsanniUQCasIons because they held In solution th jv < ar whoop of King Philip nnd the story qfjloger Williams' ad vent and successful settlement In the state ot Rhode Island andJPrpvldonce plantations. Tha zeal of this bravd , &ood man. In secur ing perfect rcllglowt frtdom Is known and admired thq world/Wer , Jn thU day his stamp Is manifest Jn , , wb character and en ergy of ( ho lnlmbiiiifn ( | ot the state , as In wealth and ] > opiilaU ll to ( he square mile Rhode Island excels all the other states. "Llttlo Rhody , " to be sure , and yet not so llttlo when looked upon .from the stand point of her resourqcs. Take , It you please , her cotton and spinning nnd weaving capac ity , and the will rank , second In the union. There are about 15,000,000 cotton spindles In the United States , and Rhode Island has one-seventh ot them. There are about 3,1)00,000 ) bales of cotton consumed In the country , and Rhode Island uses about ono- tentli of that number. HEARING UPON THE PRESENT , But a truce to this vein of speaking. My main object In referring to her past history has been to emphasize the thought that there como to us as history times that are ot vital Interest In their gearing upon north and south , cast and , wcit. Tim formative period ot Congregationalism In Rhode Island , In New England , Is Intimately associated with the formative period of Congregationalism In this and other western stated ot the union. New England Congregationalism has proved a fruitful bough , whoso brancho hnve so run over the wall AS to bring Ufa and cheer to full many an early settler , through Us hardy pioneer missionary , by whose hands schools , churches and colleges have been planted , which In their turn hnve been as eyes In the wilderness to full many a weary pilgrim on the way home. The share our own Homo Missionary society has had In so beneficent and gracious a ministry Is fast be coming history. Alas , that the flnancla crisis through which It Is now passing shouli suggest to some the need of searchlngs o heart as well as the repetition In the hearing of others of the old Interrogatory. "Wh > abldcst thou among the ihccpfolds to hear the bleatlngs ot the dock ? " There Is Indeec no reason why wo should hang our harps on the willows. "Wo know In whom wo have believed. " Again and again wo nro taught that "Ho holdeth back the face ot Ills throne ani spreadcth Ills cloud upon It. " For uur en couragement and Inspiration In the dark day It Is both a privilege and a duty to call to remembrance former days , crucial , decisive days , that at their fire we may light our torch to guide us on our tortuous way , ns the voices of the long past come to us sayIng - Ing : "Think not strange concerning the fiery trial Which Is to try you , as thougl some strange thing had happened to you but rejolco Inasmuch as ye are partakers ol Christ's sufferings , thnt when Illu glory shal bo revealed yo may be glad also with ex ceeding great Joy. " Who but knows of our national experience on the early morn of i day nigh thirty years ngo ? The Battle o : the Wilderness has been fought , the chariot wheels of victory drag. It Is do or die The war council Is called. Grant and his officers nro appalled. Apparently the fate o ; the nation trembles In the balance. Grant writes , seals , delivers and Issues this com mand : "Break the seal three hours later and march. " The sequel the world knows The moral Is not far to seek. Ho who hni been given a commander to the people ant who hath Ills eyes like unto a flame of fire continues to say : "Behold , I have set before - fore thcc an opoa 'door ! and'no one can shul It , for thou hast a little strength and hast kept my word and not denied my namo. Go preach the gospel to every creature. " Sucl Is the marching order. No matter whal Red Sea of dlfilculty and discouragement there may lie before us , no matter whal foe presses from behind ; the yolce of God as of yore Is heard clear and loud : "Speak unto the children of Israel that they go for ward. " Catching the echo shall wo not say ; "Forward be our watchword , hearts and voices Joined. Seek the things before us , look not behind.Burns the fiery pillar at our army's bead. Who shall dream ol shrinking by our captain led ? " The parent society can certainly afford a complacent recognition of the. guileless sim plicity of this llttlo ono I represent to you In Ha endeavor to put heart Into the dis tressed mother as she grieves over her treas ury shrinkage. "Llttlo Rhody" looks U [ Into the face of the parent society , whose strains have been recently heard from ocear to ocean , with the child of other days and says ; "Is God dead , mother dear ? Is ho not the same yesterday , today and forever , and still says , 'Every beast of the forest Is mine , the cattle upon a thousand hills the world Is mine and the fulness thereof. Call upon mo In the day of trouble. I will deliver thee , and thou shall glorify me. ' " FORCES IN RHODE ISLAND. In Rhode * Island wo have thirty-six churches with 5,600 families and a mem bership of upwards ot 8,000. Last year these contributed to foreign missions a round figure of $13,000 ; to the homo missions , $21,000 ; to home expenditures and other benevo lences , about $135,000. Wo employ a state missionary all the year , who has made full proof of his necessity as an evangelist. During the past winter Moody and his coworker - worker were with us and greatly blessed us. At ono conference held last week most cheery reports were made from all the churches. Brethren , the truth can bear frequent repetition that God has given us a great work to do In this land. "Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee that It may be displayed because of the truth. The banner of God has been handed down to us by faithful men and ( rue. Jt Is ours ' to hand It' down to the generations that are to follow , 'so that It may be held -aloft until the fiery fight Is heard no moro and the storm lias ceased to blow. We are hero today on a kind of Ararat whence wo have the near look and the far look. May our attitude toward the future be an ex pectant one , looking for great things to bo done In the name of the holy child , Jesus , greater things than our luihers were able to accomplish. Wo are men of many minds ; our culture varies ; we may , wo must , look at things from different standpoints , but wo must be one In our faith and hope If wo are to bo counted worthy of being followers of Him who came to seek and to save the lost. I am reminded of an early morning watch I once kept on the Rlgl. I saw mon of many nations and kindreds , some grotesque figures. We wore all Intent upon one thing. Wo were looking for the king of day to rise upon the snow-capped summits of the Alpine range. At length ho rose In all his splendor and glory and the mists und shadows crept slowly away before the glory of his coming. So wo are , though of different states , different nationalities and different culture , to keep our face toward the rising sun , the sun of righteous ness for whom wo are looking. Even so come , Lord Jesus. In closing , Mr. Moderator , I offer a per sonal allusion. It was In the year 1SC6 , the year in which the International gathering of the Young Men's Christian association met In Portland , Me. , that I first had the pleasure of' seeing and hearing you. I shall never forget thq enthusiasm you created In that vast assembly when that empty sleeve was noticed and the significant nnd honorable emblem of your love and devotion to the nation In Us tdarlc hour. It Indeed It was possible to have men's hearts so touched by that transfigured sleeve , surely , surely thu stelit of the King as revealed to the eye of faith with visage so marred moro than any man , and his form more than the sons ot men , should rouse to high and holy work , enthusiasm In him , while In the car of faith he whispers : "This have I done for theo ; what'hast thou done for mo ?

CURRENCY SYSTEM AT FAULT Ignatius Donnelly Assigns a Cnnso for Iho Nation's Protout Woos , UNDER THE TYRANNY OF MONEY KINGS ( loxcrnnidit IMIIO of I'npi-r Dollnrn U'cnili mi JUul of U | irtMi loii ( lold Whllo lltinmiilly in Tha lecture of Hon. Ignatius Donnelly at Exposition hall last night on "Signs of the Times" was heard by nn audlcnco that fairly filled the auditorium. Whllo the populist clement predominated , there was a fair rep resentation ot prominent business men nnd professional men , attracted by the fame of the reformer. Mr. Donnelly's address wns not of a sensational character. Ills voice but seldom rose above the tones of ordinary conversation and his aim was evidently moro to sot his audience to thinking than to ere- ate enthusiasm , The speaker was Introduced by D. Clem Dcavcr and met a cordial greeting. In an nouncing his subject ho said that the ques tion should bo approached without mental prejudice * or partisan feeling. All men had a right to their opinions and ho believed that no ono over cast n vote with the deliberate Intention of Injuring the country. In some respects , Mr. Donnelly remarked , the signs of the times wcro oxcol'.ont , In others threatening. In many respects the present was the most favored ago ot the world. The public mind was more temperate and was loss dlspcsed to bo clouded by pas sion , bigotry and superstition. * The world was moro tender-hearted nnd humanity had become humanized. The speaker devoted some tlmo to tracing the growth of litera ture , Invention and commercial enterprise. The progress achieved In government was equally wonderful. Every great battle for human rights from the Magna Chnrta down to the present time had contributed towards the present broad and liberal system of gov ernment. When our ancestors came to this country they established equality because there were no Inequalities among them. Now that they had expanded Into a nation of 70,000,000 of people they had developed the most Intelligent and generous population the world had ever seen. H consisted of the best blood of Europe brought to perfection by our free Institutions ami our liberal sys tem of education. But why was It that In the midst of all these blessings wo were an noyed , disturbed , alarmed ? Every news paper told some now story of violence and disturbance. What was the cause of all this turbulence among the laboring classes ? We could almost hear across the ocean the ex plosion of dynamite bomb ? , and every cable Hashed the news of anarchy and violence. Many of the well-to-do In this country had no sympathy for the tollers. They felt Just as did the aristocracy of England when the common people rose to demand their rights , as did the nobility of France when the peasantry rose up to claim nothing more than mere bread for their labor. Ono of the strongest Instincts In the human breast waste to hold on to an advantage and to look with distrust and hatred on those who were not so fortunate. But the prosperity of the woll-to-do minority-In this country depended on the prosperity of the tolling majority , and the mkldlo classes should understand that In permitting conditions that Impover ishes the working classes they Impoverish their own customers upon whom their own fortunes depend. The money question , according to the speaker , was the root of the whole trouble. The Idea that gold and silver had an In trinsic value was all a sham and a sham that was destroying mankind. Every one had seen how sliver Jiod fallen nearly 50 per cent In value when deprived of govern mental recognition , and the same thing would happen to gold , If , ItDeceived .similar treatment. The monqy kings of the country had plotted to increase the value of their holdings of gold by the demonetization of silver , and the result was that gold was rising and humanity was falling. The power exercised by corporations In the legislative and Judicial branches of the government was discussed at length. The people ple of America today were not as free as Uio subjects of the cxar , The democratic party hrfd got into power on tlio platform of free trade. They had promised to repeal the McKlnley bill , but had finally Introduced a measure which was more 'of a protective measure than the McKlnley bill Itsolf. The railroads controlled the legislatures and the courts , which were supinely obedient to their Interests. It was so through the whole cate gory and the man who worked with his hands or brains In an ordinary way was fortunate If lie got enough ahead with which to bury him when ho died. If the legisla ture passed a law that was offensive to the corporations the supreme court declared It unconstitutional. In closing Mr. Donnelly alluded again to the money question and advanced the prop osition that the only value of money de pended on Us recognition by the government , and If the government Issued paper money Its stamp would make It worth Us par value the world over whether there was any fund for the redemption of the notes or not. HONNUI.T.Y ON OMAHA. Suys the City h the I'lilliulclplilu of tlio In- diihtrlnl Itrvolntlcm. Hon. Ignatius Donnelly arrived In the city yesterday morning. Ho felt somewhat fatigued from travel , but talked freely to a llee reporter upon the question of the day. A. largo number of his Omaha friends and idmlrers called at the hotel yesterday to see him. The Bee reporter got a few minutes with him , during which time he said : "It Is always a pleasure to mo to visit Omaha. Ias In congress when the Union I'aclfio railway was being built , and the name of the city has been familiar to mo aver since. I was well acquainted with that singular and eccentric man , George Pianola 1'rain. I have paid several visits to Omaha tor the purpose of lecturing or to attend con- centlons , iind have always been very kindly treated by the people. Wo populists have a sort of feeling that Omaha Is to the great ndustrlal revolution what Philadelphia was : o the revolution of 1770 , as It was hero > n the 4th of July , 1802 , that wo put forth ; ho now declaration of Independence. The ; lmo will come when Omaha will bo very iroud of that fact , If ftiio Is not now. Wo ire , of course , necessarily at present con- itralnod to make our campaign upon specific ssues , as the silver question , the per capita > f currency , the control or ownership of allroads , etc. , but above and beyond all , hose , which are In their nature Eoimi- vhat temporary , and which wo hope a few roars will satisfactorily settle , there Is a ; reater mid wider question which dates o the beginning ot civilization , and will lontlnuo In some shape as long as wcloty indures , that IB , how far and In what way ; an the common , people , the mouses , the nlddlo classes and the working people , do- end themselves against the encroachments md aggressions of the moneyed aristocracy. "All men desire to becomeilch , A few lave a greater capacity for accumulating .ml . acquire vast fortunes , usually by obtaln- ng some grip under the law or against the aw upon the tall of the multitude , Wo arc lot waging war upon these people Indlvldu- lly , but wa perceive that their Instincts ompol thorn to try to control the govorn- nent for the protection of their wealth or to iicieaso It. Being few In number , they noke their struggle largely through corrup- lon. They buy up the representatives of ho people , judges and juries , newspapers , political parties , and everything thnt can beef of ttso to them , They do not mean to dp- Rtroy civilization , but that must bo the In evitable outcome ot their work. That In simply the condition that Is now upon us. They propose to meet disaffection , discontent and demoralization , not with a redress ot grievance , but with nnnlos nnd cannon. They propoio that the evil conditions nhall continue , but that the nurrercrs shall bo kept In obedience , as they arc In the old country. They Insist that their robbery shall continue , oven though the whole land IB ono seething , boiling mans of discontent. "Tho many are to bo destroyed for the benefit of a few. Wo are today almost In n state of civil war. The news reports remind ono of the tlmo when the northern anil southern trnpps were battling for supremacy. Every day wo read of skirmishes , marches , violence and murder , nnd no man can tell when the flame may spread Into universal conflagration. No man can deny this state ment of facts , It Is not a tlmo for monte to bo filled with partlrnn bitterness or do- votlons to past traditions. Every man should nay to himself , what can I do to save the republic for my clf-and posterity ? To do this they should try to Inform themselves upon all sides of all questions , and weigh the arguments of contending elements as they would If on a Jury the evidence being presented to them.
