SciixrniTnlUi to UN Con- ConccrnliiK die ClirlNt nnd KM Inllnvncu uu lorlnl A fin I rx. The Christian love as an Influence In life was the subject of the morning sermon by Rev J. H , Seneency nt the Klmt Methodist church jcsterdny. Tallowing a word picture of the sccno when Jesus was In Bethany at a feast. In Simon's house when Mary an- nolnted his feet , the strong love that was In the woman's heart wan described which prompted her to make what was considered by the people present a great sacrifice. This love vvns prompted bj the gratitude of the woman for the net of the Savior In raising her brother from the dead , but the stronger Impulse came from the fact that Mary had found In Christ a pcisonal savior from sin. This Impulse of love to QoJ con stitutes the true Impulse ot life. H Is diffi cult to define love. Like life , It eludes nnnleln Poets write and speak of love , but novcr fully express It Muslcluna sing ot love , but when they hnve done their best we feel that thc > have but placd around It and have not expressed It Hut while wo cannot doflno It , love cannot bo hid. Like sunshine , It will bo hoen , seen In tones , In attitudes , In expressions and deeds of life- . Lave Is seen In a life of constancy to the object of Its devotion A Tlorcnco Nlghtln- battlefield and mllltnr ) hospital lj an Il lustration ot this fact. Love Is self-sacrifice. Lowly Marj's box of precious ointment represented ) cars of saving. It probably icprescnted months of self-denial yet to come Love to God nlw is marks the life b ) belt-denial. The contribu tions ot Christiana to the caiifce of Chris tianity are stupcnduous In the aggregate , and these gifts are given In the face of the world's protest Love to Christ leads to the dedication of the llfo to him , so that men live other Kinds of lives than they would without that love They give up their own plans and form new- ones under that Impulse. This divine affection Is the only Impulse sufficient to sim- taln ona In living a llfo of righteousness Ono reason why so many who begin fie Chrlbtlan life and then fall away Is that they never become possessed of this love. Or , If they have It they do not retain lu And when It Is gone their strength Is gone. ivo-y llfr > will be tested nnd the only btrtngth that will bear the test Is love to God This Is the only Impulse that will en able the church to reach and pave the world. The world's need Is seen In the fact that It Is not conscious of Its own sin. It Is disturbed nnd 111 at case , nnd often It Is distressed , but It Is not nwake to its state of sin U Is also preoccupied ; It Is engaged with other things Its splilt Is Intense. It rushes on with tremendous momentum There Is thrown upon It the glamour of false faiths and sham religions Adherent to a few dogmatic principles and sometime to no creed nt all ; submission to certain church brdlnances , nnd then a llfo as worldly as the world and as liberal as sin It is but taptl/ed formality It Is consecrated crated worldllness But how Is the world to bo reached and bhown the true from the false ? H can only be done by a life sus tained by love to God and mankind It can only be done by a life characterized by the same love to God and mankind as marked the llfo of Jesus , and set him for all time- above all about him as the Ideal llfo and character. The Impulse of love Is the holiest that springs from the human heart. It Is the spark of divinity plantcrf In the soul of man that leads gently , strongly and uner ring ! ) upward to a higher plane It Is the passion of the human soul that can be the least easily perverted , but when perverted Its effects and Influences are the most dis astrous Molded on the example bet bj Christ It reaches In all directions and uplifts all it touches. It ministers in tenderness at the couch of suffering and stands with chiding sorrow In the pathways that lead to wrong. It builds the family altars and the temples where men worship It asKs no reward nnd gives to the world the lirwt It has nnd gets In return the best the world has Homes nro strongest and purest whpre love Is strongest and purest , and when the day comes that love rules all the millen nium of the Christian will have arrived.

BOSTON , Mass , Teb. 2. To the Editor of The Omaha Bee : A copy of your Issue of the 22d Instant , containing In your Council Bluffs column an Item headed , "Leading Christian Scientist" has been sent me. While thanking ) ou sincerely for jour ver ) kindly reference to me and fho cause which I am endeavoring to servo , I desire to coi- nct sorno errors of statement In your article ticle- First , let mo say that nothing would af ford me inoro ploisure than to visit , next summer , your beautiful city , my former home , but I have no present expectations ot bchig ablu to do so. I am a soldier on con stant duty and the demands of the warfare In which wo Christian scientists are now en- K ged nre BO exuding that furloughs arc not ) Ct In order. Perhaps when our methods , alms and purposes are better understood and the onslaughts of "our friends , the enemy" are less severe and frequent , we rhall have sorno tiino for < ho ordinary amenities of llfo. When that time conies I assure my friends none shall more gladly avail themselves thereof than I. My resi dence In ) our flourishing city Is fraught with many pleasant memories nml some sad ones. Many of the old-time friends have departed from this phase of existence Many have left there for other p-rts of the world. My ndvent there was tn ante-railroad days. So far from ridden there " " having by "rail" In my trip across the state , I was engaged no small part of the ttrnu In i.sslstlng' ruy fol low-passengers in carrjlng a "rail" which , now and again , was called Into requisition In prying the stage out of a mud-hole , whoso srcrnlng depth was not unsuggestlvc of the bottomless pit. " Yet those wcro hale j on dis ) Mora BO than many which have In tervened. In ) our city I first swung my "shingle to the breeze" as an "attorney nnd counsellor at law " Thcro I tried my flrst case ; there I made by debut as a 'Tourth of July orator tor , " there , before my marriage and while > et In my early 'twenties ' , I vvus honored with a responsible- Judicial position ; there I received man ) evidences of confidence and respect , much beyond my years or deserts , there I married my wife a loving , faithful helpmeet and sharer of my Jojs and sorrows during all the ) cars that hive como and gone. Ever shall I carry In the secret charnbeid of thought gladsome pictures or my sojourn In Council Bluffs. Her stately bluffs , her shady , beautiful glens , her many slvan re treats , her expansive views and magnificent park , tier sweet b-places of rich and varie gated foliage , oil stand In hold relief alotg the corridors of retrospective vision. Now as to the corrections You say J es tablished a church with the largcat member ship In the United States. Oh , no The Christian Science church was established long before I baciino a dlsclole of the faith It was established by the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy , formerly of Boston , now residing at Concord , N , II. She Is the founder of Christian Science , the founder of the "Mother church" In Boston In which I perform the office of flrst reader , the founder of the Chrstkin Science Journal , of which , ebe was many ) eara the publisher and editor and of which Mrs Henna end mjtelf arc now the editors ; she Is the founder ot the Massachu setts Metaphysical college , In wfolch she taught many students , the founder of the lit erature of the Christian Science Publishing society and tbo author of the only text book on Christian Science , entitled "Science nnd Health , with Key to the Scriptures , " and many other works. To Mrs Eddy Is duo the credit of c'tablish- Ing the great work that Is now challenging the world's sober attention and wo who are endeavoring to follow her Lear In eomo sort the same relation to her selt-eacrlficlng pioneer work that the present-day traveler from New York to San Francisco. In his luxuriant palace coach , bears to the hard ships and privations , long and weary da > s and nights , fraught with all their dangers and escapes , that the early pioneers to Cali fornia endured nnd encountered , back In the das of stage coach and ox train. You say also that n few days ago the church gained In ono day an acc alon of 2,400 members and that the event was made the occasion of a great celebration The fact Is this church holds semi-annual communion services and prior to this service n meeting ot the proper authorities of the church Is held and arvllcatlcins for memborsh't. ' ) noted tipon At the lest semi-annual meeting , Jan uary 1 last , there wcro nearly 2,400 members admitted , but only the usual communion ecrvlco followed this event , there was no nt- tempt whatever nt a celebration At tlif Inst preceding semi-annual meeting there were admitted to church membership some 1,400 members. At the present rntlo of Increase It Is fair to assume that nt the next semi annual meeting ttero will be many more than at cither of these meetings , but there will bo only the usual service held. You also say I was among the first to espouse the principles of the new faith. I am cornt ara- tively a new disciple. Thousands hnd es poused It before I became Interested. Some of jour own good citizens had become ntu- dents of Mrs nddy before I had ever given the subject n serious thought. Having become - como convinced , however , of the correctness of Its claims to being the Uuc religion of the bible as well as of Its wonderful efficacy as n remedial agent In the cure ot human Ills and human wcrs , I entered with nil there was , of mo Into Its evangelical labors , and there I hcpe to remain until my mission shall have been fully performed.

'I'llUST. IIo Ion a liners of Mrnrlionril Ilent the Mravi liouril Combination. An Iowa induotry that has made its opera tions felt all over the United States Is the Iowa Straw Board mill at Tarna , eajs the Burlington Hawkeye. At Thursday's ees&ion of the State Association of Butter and Egg Men at Des Molncs the members of which association are financially Interested In the mill , a report was made showing that this factory had been the cause of the dlcsolu- tlon of the big American Straw Board trust. At present the Iowa plant at Tarna is turnIng - Ing out and selling a carload of fifteen tona of fillers a day. The business extends Into over ) elate cornering or touching on Iowa. The business done b ) the Iowa concern simply paralyzed the trust. It couldn't meet the competition and It was forced to go out of the business. Each of the factories which campcsed U Is now running en Its own business basis Over a ) ear ago the straw board trust was formed. It got control of practically all the factories In the United States It was forced to take them all Into the combination In order to pffoct Its our. prees Immediately after the factories were combined , the output being about four times the consumption , It was necessary to close about two-thirds of the factories , which was done. Thus the concern was confronted with an enormous Inactive capital , big properties rotting down and on which taxes were being paid , and the necessity for earning dividends on the big capital stock , most of which was actually Idle. The result was the advance ment of the price of the product 00 per cent. The Iowa people refused to stand It. The eggi flllera which they had been buying for SVfe cents were put up to G'/i cents and the dealcra rebelled. A stock company , with perhaps thirty share holders , all members of the Iowa association , was formed and the factory at Tarra was acquired and operated , Reasonable prices were fixed , The bus'nesa ' commenced with Iowa patronage. It rapidly extended Into Illinois , Indiana , Minnesota , Wisconsin , South Dakota , Nebraska , KanEOH and Missouri. In about six months the trust t < aw a great light and the dissolution of the combine was Inevitable. It was announced at the meeting at Des Molnes en Thursday. Not only has the Iowa 'institution knocked the wind out of the trust , but It has paid a handsome dividend on the stock by which It was established. And the Iowa dealers , kno"lng when they have a good thing , are going * o keep right em doing buslnces.

( Special ) The fifth wce1 < of the legislative session will open tomorrow , nnd It may bo said the real business of the assembly will open nt the same time. The board of control pro posal , recognized as the one legislative tusk , paramount to all others , demanding atten tion , has been slighted thus far. Commit tees of Investigation have vlsltod other states to examine their s > stems of Institu tion control , and the framing of a bill has awaited their return. Senator Healy will bo hero tomorrow and the work which has waited for his return will bo pushed at once. Some Investigations have already been made which assure some heavy cuts In expense alovvances of the Institutions. A subcommittee of the senate ways and means committee has been preparing some statis tical tables to Indicate where the present extravagances are , and they have the ma terial for a startling showing. The Klelora Hcform School for Dojs , for Instance , has for man } years had the smallest monthly support allowance per capita of any Insti tution. It Is found that nt a time when the support fund was only fS , It cost $3 5C of this amount for salaries of olllcers nnd cm- plojes. In other words , the salary list was almost as heavy as the charge for food , clothing , heat , lights and all current operat ing expense. This has Impressed the com mittee that a large reduction must be made In the snliry list Similar showings arc made for the other ecleomoscnary Institu tions Wldo variations 1 the per capita cost of particular articles at different Insti tutions arc discovered. Tor Instance , sugar eostu 44 cents per month per capita at the reform school at .Mltchellvllle , while It costs only 21 cents at the nidora school. As between the Insane as > lums , there arc similar striking differences. The support fund will be cut 'for ' nearly all Institutions ; the Healy committee recom mends cuts of from 10 to 25 per cent , nnd the later Investigations have developed nothing to Indicate that this Is too radical. The reduction will he taken mainly out of the salary lists , but some of It from the largo budget of unnecessary expenditures. The committee on retrenchment nnd reform , composed of the chairmen of the vvajs and means , appropriations and Judiciary com mittees for the two houses the enl > statu tory committee In the legislature Is au thorised to revise salary lists and plan all reforms In the direction of retrenchment. It Is doing some active work , and when It goto ready to report a revised salary list ifor the state there Is likely to bo some trouble. TEWL0 AMCNDMEN'T. Senator Druet announces that when the Temple amendment ocrnes before the senate or. WedLesdaj as a special order ho will of fer an amendment to provide that members of the Hurllng-ton Relief association , against which the measure Is aimed , who are so old or rhyslcallj Incapacitated that they can not secure insurance elsevvlaore , may re tain membership In that organization , If they Indicate a desire to do to. It was ex pected this would be presented when the measure was before the house , but It was dropped , and the plan mlopted of making the fight In the senate. There Is s.lel to bo con siderable backing td the move arid it will cuube controversy , orhlch promises to bp bitter. The railroad employes' legislative committee has Issued a circular letter favor ing the amendment as drafted bj Senator Hobart , rather than In the form In which It passed the house. The measure Is no > v so popular that there has been some feeling and contention as to the right of way be tween the house bill by Cook and the senate bill Each side was anxious for Its measure to pass , but the senate will insist on the Hobart measure The Women's Christian Temperance union of the state Is Just beginning to flood the assembly with petitions for the establishment of a new state institution , a Homo for Tallen Women. They set forth that there is now no reformatory institution in the state to which such women can bo compelled to go. They can be sent to the penal Instl'u- tlons , but to none other. It is "desired " that a compulsory rcfoim-itlve establishment bo started and a legal process provided b/ which women of this , class can be sent to it and kept till it appears safe and expedient to release them. The state has been thor oughly canvassed und many thousands of signatures have been obtained to the petl- tfons There is talk of making the Benedict homo In Des Jlolnes , which Is now a quasi- state Institution under the management of the Women's Christian Temperance union , such a reformatory and to nuke it distinc tively a state concern.

Tor many jears Mr. Melvll Dewey , di rector of the New York State library , has advocated a scheme of state distribution of books by way of loan to Institutions ami to groups of taxpayers on payment of a nom inal fee. His plan Includes a system of central control and supervision , re'atcs the Review of Reviews , under which small col lections of popular books are to be sent from point to point , kept In charge of re sponsible persons , and circulated freely among the residents of each locality , The state of Now York made an appropriation for such n bjstem of library loaning In 1892 , and IMS appropriated annually since In the flrst year 46 libraries were sent out ; In the second , 139 ; In the third , 212 ; in the fourth , 371 , and In the fifth year , 447 , Books have been purchased to supply the constantly Increasing demand , until now there are nearly 36,000 volumes owned by the state and available for this purpose.
