Omaha with its exposition. not merely na-

whole world.
Tht history of expositions Is the history
of instriction and when we read what was
done in the past we cannot but be struck
with the energy of our forefathers. lor our
efforts they 1111(1 a broad foundation.
Observing the Impetus which the effort of
Napoleon gave to thin exposition movement
in other nations , ho referred to the broaden-
lng of the idea until In 1851 the Crystal
I'alace exhibition was realized in Fngtand as
the fruition of the endeavor of the rlnco
consort. o successful was this that England -
land determined upon holding a similar cxiii-
bition on nn international scale every ten
years. lt was hoped that this would be
the modern nieans for stopping warfare , " lie
' said , "aiitl bringing about peace among the
nations. " Then he enumerated the great
k fairs of thio world since , viz : Paris , 1855 ;
London , 1862 ; I'aris , 1867 ; Vienna , 1873 ;
l'iilladelphiia Centennial , IS7G ; Paris , 1878 ;
Melbourne , Australia , 1879 ; Chicago ,
World's Fair , 1D3.
' , V.iitler of the Geucrittlon ,
Commenting on Omaha's luck ho said , "I
think it. Is one of the wonders of our generation -
tion that a city not yet fifty years old haS
the courage and pluck to put itself stile by
1do with the great cities of Europe and the
stronger cities of this country. " Then he
gave an interesting word plettire of the
buildings anti grounds , and resumed his tie-
ductions ;
We ought to ask ourselves what does it
nil lrowe ? "Vhiat Is its teaching ? What is
the lessoti wo learn from It all 7 There are
three things which liavo struck me as lee-
Sons conveycti by the exposition. F'irst , the
nmrveloua achievement that mind can ac-
comphlsh. It is nil the realization of
thought. It is a manifestation , a visibility ,
of int.hlect. And I thank God that the men
vlio bath charge of it were not narrowed
do'ii by any limitation of what they had
in COflCChtlOfl or attenipted to do. The extent -
tent of space , the buildings erected , the g'n-
cml arrangement fit it to take Place with
the fainotis CXiositiolls of the vorld. Its
senlo of grandeur shows genius and con-
lidonco , and wisdom and beauty are maul-
Zest In the execution of the work.
The second leston Is the brotherly spirit
that can animate diflcrent pcopies and vocations -
cations to como together. We are accus-
totned to think that this world is run on the
PrinciPle of everyone for himself , but the
more I live the iiiur I think that there is
more biothierhood more qordinhity , more
humanity in our race than ever. All it
wants is for someone to suggest , lay down
tile principle OlICI give the opportunity for
the tlisIiay of these qualities. The effect of
fairs has always been to bring rival nations -
tions together In friendly emulatioti In the
arts of Irnace.
1)ean Fair deplored the war at the present -
ent time. The third lesson lie saw in the
exposition Is that of the unity of states
which is proved. "It aliows that the brotherly -
erly spirit among tlio states Is a reality. "
: Filially lie gathered from it a lesson ot
'lluck , enterprise , energy and perseverance -
ance , " he said. ho praised the projectors
very highly and said they deserved great
credit for what they had accomplished in
the face of much discouragement at the out-
t set.
SIsoihd lie heartily Sutiported.
lie aio took exception to criticisms which
hail been inthulgoti in by some and urged' his
congregation to give to the exposition their
heartiest support. He repeated an invita-
tioii lie hiath made thurlng the morning services -
ices , asking all of his hock who were unable
to visit the exposition on account of lack
of means to let him know and he would see
to it that an opportunity was lrovitled. He
suggested that there should be a general
movement on behalf of the poor of the
city ,
In conclusion ho summed up the exposition
as affording a splendid opportunity for educational -
ucational advantage-the latest triumphs of
industry , art anti science would be there ;
"we will be enabled to recognize what 0th-
era can accomplish. " Again , thousands of
peojilo vthl be attracted to Omaha by it aild
may make their homes hero , Besides , it
would be a great business hell ) to the liros-
peHty of the city. ' 'Omaha , " ho said , "tIc-

Increased for having put forth this iiitcrna.
tiounl effort. "
"Did this cxosition all come together
by chance , by accident ? " ho inuiretl ,
'Don't you know It was the result of design -
sign 7 So with the stars above. If It re-
quireti mind to make the exposition it required -

At the FIrst Universalist church yesterday -
day morning Rev. ClInton Sitnonton of
Portland , Me. , preached on "The Power of
Love , " from Galatlans V. , 13-14.
Mr. Simonton said : "Every soul Is held
in sleep until soitie cahi arouses it to no-
( ion , but not the same call arouses every
soul. Some are aroused by a noble am-
bitlon to servo their fellow men. There arc
those who respond to the call and awake
to all ( lie day demands of them. Some
need the call of the storm and tempest ,
Still others awake at the still , small voice ;
but the great awakening of the soul is
contained In accents of this voice , as it
bids man look up and imints him to the
higher life-this is tile voice of love. Love
is tim only power that works righteousness
and manhood anti womanhood are quickened
by the call to duty. There is a move
toward the lulls of goodness which gives
courage to every weakened soul and there
is a wonderful incentive when a soul is.

man , no bitterness between the classes and

the spirit of love. In the lrinclplcs of the
religion of Jesus-the law of love-lies the
solution of the problems , not only of social
reform , but also ( hint of political. It embraces -
braces not itself , but others. The dogmas
of a creed have but little place in this

iLev. It. 0. Ferguson , D , D. , occupied the
pulpit of the Central United Presbyterian-
church yesterday morning anti preached a
thoughtful discourse to a large congregaUon.
The church ediflco as taatefuhiy decorated
with American flags anti a large collection
of potted plants. In his sermon tIle pmeacber
emphasized the morality of the Christlhn
rchigvn. Among other things ho said : "Tho
morality taught by Socrates has been much
commended , but Socrates would have stood
better with us had certain conversations of
his never been written. Ha did teach moral-
fly , but , there was a fly in the ointment.
Whatever virtue there may have been in
previous moral laws , Christianity first
brought all moral laws togothme It is the
beautiful syninietry of Christian mnoralltp
that attracts and bintls us to it. ChrlBtian
amorality Is peculiar In the emphasis it places
on ( lie milder virtues. It exalts meekness ,
charity , courtesy , brotherly kindness and
the other milder virtues. The sermon on ( ho
mount is a good Illustration of this fact.
The same eniphasis of the milder virtues is
also found in the epistles of I'aul , Peter and
John. l'atlence and courage are twin vir-
tties. anti have a prominent place in Chrje-
tian morality. The one is as important as the
other. Grant was as brave on Mount. Mc-
Gregor as at Vicksburg. It Is sometimes
heroic to resist anti patience is a virtue
fully as greatas that of courage. The glory
of the Christian morality welds together the
actP'o and ( lie passive virtues.
"The morality of time Christian religion
Is again peculiar because of the central place
it gives to the love of mami. This is em-
lihiasized in all the teachings of Christ. Personal -
sonal holiness is not ignored. Ware iiiflu-
onccd by ( lie lives of men with whom we
associate , and , unconsciously , perhaps , we
become like mcmi whose biographies we
study. We spontaneously imitate the actions
of those wo look up to. In the Christian
religion we find a passionate regard for hmu-
inanity strongly advanced , We should have
this regard , It is natural that we should
iiotonly regard , but should imitate the lives
of flien we think great. Lot us strive to
Inittate ( lie true life as exemplified in the
life of Christ ,
"The ethical force of our religIon arises
from the fact that Christianity is a life.
'He that believes on the Son shall have life
everlasting. ' The secret of holiness is in the
union of our lives with Christ. Some ask ,
how stands the religion of the bible as the
horizon of the Twentieth century approaches -
preaches ? There is as great need for tlisin-
estetl holiness today as there has ever been.
There is just as much need to work in accord -
cord with the powerful motives from the
cross as there was twenty centuries ago.
The divine working of the hohy spirit is as
ncedful now as ever. On the other hand
Chirlstiaimity keeps pace with time forward
march of the world. It has lost nothing. Its
eye Is on the future. "

The pulpit of time First United Presbyterian -
terian church was filled yesterday niorning
by 11ev. Dr. S. It. Lyons of Monmoutli , president -
dent of Mouniouth college and one of the
heading etlucators and preachers of the
United Presbyterian church. As the subject
for his discourse he chose , "lie saved others ,
Hiniself I-ho cannot save , " the woids 'ivithi
which Christ's persecutors taunted Him
when lIe hung en the cross.
"When the soldiers thrust spears Into

tiamis of today. There has never been any
record of any of Coil's chiiltlren who have
escaped sorrow , suffering anti reverses , and
from time immemorial there has been a
tendency to point to all the misfortunes of
Christians and declare them an evidence of
Coil's tlispheasuro. Nothing could be more
false , Christ did not suffer death and terrible -
rible agony because Coil was displeased with
Him. Through the sufferinmzs of earth sal-

ble to attain high character except through
trials and afflictions. The men who thought
Christ ought to be able to spare himself
tlcath on time cross were degenerated spirit-
uaiiy , and through their own sinfulness were
led to believe that Ho hmotl no power to save
others. "
"It is not for us to avoid and dread sut-
bring , " said the preachier , "for we cannot
expect to uplift humanity except at the hirice
of ourselves. We must covet a place by
the Master's side , where suffering is , anti
endure all that comes to us in carrying on'
Ills work. Time true soldier does not tear

Dr. Lyons cautioned his hmearers against

from the Argyle , N.T. , presbytery , preached
at the mnoriming soiees of the First Congregational -
gregational churchi on the theme of Christ's
hove and falthtuiaoss. lie chose his text
froni Galatians ii : Oa lie said :
In these words iu'i contained the secret of
a successful life , FeW men hive so successfully -
fully or have greater influence on. the race
than Paul , and ( ho two elements so essential -
tial to a successful life sork were found
In Paul , namely , strong faith in God and
a consciousness of the love of Christ , Lot
us devote ourselves ( his morning to a consideration -
sidoration of the love of Christ for us , The
reason the book of God is so interesting
to us is that it contains the story of love ,
anti love Is the master passion of the soul.
Wo see the pro-eminence given to love in
one of the epistles of I'atii to the Corin-
thians. There are ninny gifts , but none like
hove. A man many have time gift of tongues ;
ho may be able to sway multitudes with his
eloquence , and yet , without love , it would
nil ho as soundimmg brass and tinkling
cymbals , "AntI now abideth faith , hope and
charity , but the greatest of these is char-
it ) ' , "
Examining Into sonic of ( lie characteristics -
tics of God's iove for us we find ( lint it is
amazing. That disciple , John , who was de-
I scribed as the oimo whioni Jesus loved and
who leaned upon his bosoni , wrote to the
church afterward : "Behold what manner of
love lie bath bestowei on us , that 'iye should
be called the eons of God ; and it doth not
yet appear what we shall be , but we know
I
that when lie shah appear we shah ho like
him , evcn as He is. " It is also everlast-
lug mmmi constant. Furthermore it fixes
itself on the intiividual-"who loved inc. "
We are too apt to generalize in religious
matters. We think of God as saving time
world , but how oftan do we think of the
fact ( hint lie saves us individually ?
Then as to time evidences and proofs-there
arc ( lie declarations of witnesses and holy
men who lived with him. A proof of
Christ's love is found in Ills self-abasement.
lie left ills place of honor in heaven to
como down to earth and live a life of
humility for us , And while here His life
was one of constant self-sacrifice. Finally ,
we have the crowning preof in His laying
down his life for us on time cross in God's
great anti wonderful plan of our salvation.
Shall we not then say , "God loves us-
shall we not rather say , "lie loves mc- "
yes , me , individually , You remember ( lint
eonio of Christ's best sermomms were preached
to an audience of only one-to individuals.
So then the consciousness of Christ's lova
should make a great Impression on our
lives. It directs anti it restrains. No man
can tb much good in this world or make
much progress heavenward without a knowi-
edge of ( lie hove of Christ.
Love ahmd faith should go together. Let
us try to hive lives of faith in Christ , know-
log ( lint lIe loves us. Let us live in ( lie
knowi.c of Chr.tht's faithfulness in his
love.

is well spent. Lie cahieti Moses , who 'ns in
time field herding sheep , to tIme burning bush.
Moses was not conscious , but he expectctl
great things and they came. There was time
call from Cod. That hush imor fire did not
grow for Moses alone , but to servn as an
object lesson tot' all nations and mmli people.
Satan anti his helpers hav.i changed their
mode of warfare anti their. armor. They
have haiti aside the sword and taken ( lie
priestly costunie. But false teaching is not
the greatat tlaiiger. Conformity to tile
worlti is , though , Too much conformity to
business and worldly affairs-not enough
church relationship. What is true of time
church organlzeti is true of its members-too
much worldliness. Satan is always camped
around , watching for us. All of us carry
the scars of wounds and have felt the sting
of his poiond arrow , The history of ( lie
past anti the outlook of time future show time
church to ho in danger , but it is sure of
deliverance , God has prophesied so amid it
is sure to come to pass.
The world is filled with divine messages
to all , , The call of Moses was only a whils-
per in comparison to the calls ( lint conic to
us night and day to do God's work , Faith
is tile OYO and car that sees God , Wo must
believe before the glory of God is revealed
to us. As soomi as we recognize Goti as a
revelation and not a natural body , time
blbl becomes the bread of life to us ,
