the greatest self-uctlvlty of the latter an
set him to thinking ; dellnlteness , that Is t

"After a BOO * , "If There's Sunshine In Youi
Heart , " by Prof. Excell , the work ot thi
congress began with an address by Dr
George R. Merrill of Chicago. Ho made :
comparison between the blblo and the othei
sacred books of the world such as the Vedas
the Zcnda-Vcstu , the Koran of Mahome
and the writings of Confucius. The ills
tlngulshlng features of the bible ho set forth
They arc , ho said , In summing up : Thi
marvelous unity In variety which makes 1
peculiar ; the Interpretation and deflnlt' <
significance It gives to the common story o
the origin of creation ; Its different treat
mcnt of national heroes ; Its moral law a
the basis of civilization ; Its purity and dig
nity of character , and its moral Influenci
upon men. Its different books had been con
trlbuted by men of all occupations fron
herdsmen to priests and ot all condl
lions of life from captives to kings , ye
It has n single theme and Matthew take
up the pen of Malachl. The Hebrew mora
code hnd become the foundation of nioderi
Jurisprudence. The lyrics of the bible prals
God , whereas these of other pacrcd book
praise men as demigods. The bible , h
also said , has been railed a "wlnnowci
book ; " on the other hand ho doubted If th
greater portions of olner sacred books coul
bo read In public before tin audience on ac
count ot the questionable character of thel
writings. He observed In conclusion tha
the Sunday school work Is a deathless woi
because the bible Is a deathless book.
The chairman of the executive commlttc
of the International association , B. F. Ja
cobs of Chicago , followed with a talk o
international Sunday school work. The pur
pose of this work. Its plan , its progres
and Its promise furnished him with an ai
lucrative division of his subject. Its pur
pose Is the "ingathering and upbuilding
of the whole people , ns that of the churc
has been "organization and evangelization.
As to Its plan , ho said nothing can be ac
omplished by the denominations workln
separately. Therefore he counseled co
operation ot them all by means of state
oiinty and township organizations wit
their respective conventions , which Is th
method ot the International association.
One ot the greatest difficulties he men
tloned In connection with Sunday srhot
work at present Is with the colored peopl
of the south and their sectarian prejudice !
part being Baptists and the other pai
Methodists and neither being willing t
tolerate or co-operate with the other. Th
result is that 1,000,000 colored children d
not attend either Sunday or day school !
However , two men arc now working wit
this element In the south and there are no1
three state organizations and twenty count
organizations as a result so far. Much c
this progress Is being made in Georgia.

In the state of Illinois as many ns seventy
nine county conventions are being held thi
fall and after them there will be organize
institutes or training schools and also prl
inary unions. Four great summer school
have started this year In the country , one i
New Jersey , another In Maine and a thlr
at Chautauqua , and still another In Illlnoli
Of 7,000 railroad men many belong to th
Young Men's Christian Associations and al
tend Sunday schools or take the Home dt
partment lessons. The Homo departmci
Is doing a great work.
Mr. Jacobs estimated the Protestai
strength of the country at 13,000,000 churc
members and allowing a man , woman an
child for each , he figured It out to a toti
of S' ,000,000. With a united church of th
strength and also the addition of 8,000,0 (
Roman Catholics , ho thought nothing la
possible to the Christian use of the ballc
for laws that make for righteousness. Tl
speaker paid a high compliment to Arc !
bishop Ireland for that prelate's Ilber&Ill
of religious sentiment.
In conclusion ho said the International n
soclatlon covered every stateot the unloi
all the provinces of Canada , the twentj
seven states of Mexico and now the bib
would be carried Into Cuba and the Phlll ]
pines. The next International convontic
Is to be held at Atlanta In 189'J. He cnlU

Mr. Jacobs referred to the report at Lei
don last July showing the Sunday schoi
hosts of the world to number , all told , 23
000.000. The United States government h ;
published a Sunday school supplement i
Its census report and the last Sunday scho
convention in Massachusetts received ui
precexlented attention from the Boston prcs
All this , he remarked , Indicated the grci
promise the future has In store for tl
work.
This morning will be given largely ovi
to the different conferences In section

exposition.
Sk.'loli of ( InSnliit. .
St. Wcnceshius , In whoso honor the day :
celebrated by Bohemians , was the fin
Christian king ot that country. Ho was
devoutly religious man , devoted to h
people , and giving much of his time to tl
care of the poor , the widows and the fall
el-less. It Is yuld of him that In the wlntt
he carried wood In his own arms , and ban
fooled to those In distress , and his othi
works of charity were equally noteworth ;
His servant usually accompanied him c
these pilgrimages of mercy , and the stoi
runs that on ono cold wintry day the sei
vant said ho could not go because of tl
cold , and he was told by the king to to
low In his footsteps and the snow wou !
not chill him.
Wenceslnus was born In 902 , .and was tl
son of Wrnblslaus and Drahomlra , and i
his mother was not a religious wotna
that part of his education was looked afti
by his grandmother , St. Ludmllla. II
father died In ! 20 and from that time tl
Wcnceslnus became of ace his mothi
reigned over Hohemla. The young king al
horred war and when In the course of h
reign Ills brother Iladlslaus organized
revolt against the throne , Wcnceslaus , a
though his army was the stronger of tl
two , stepped out In front of his forces ni
challenged his brother to a duel that tl
lives of the army might be spared , and i
sorrowing brought to the families of II
soldiers. The legend says Iladlslaus ai
copied the challenge , and as ho npproaclu
his brother , the king , ho heard the votco i
an angel cautioning him not to strike i
wound , and instead of fighting , ho fell c
his knees before the king and begged h
pardon , which was granted.
The king never married , but gave h
whole effort to caring for his subjects. I
was an humble man , and his people aden
him for his personal worth , and for tl
many beneficent acts toward them. I
gave untiring attention to propagatlr
Christianity throughout his realm , ar
while attending upon these devotions 1
met his death. He sought the church fi
early mass on September 28 , 935 , and afti
completing his prayers was met at tl
door of the church by his brother Boleslai
and some companions , and after a despera
struggle he was murdered by them. Mai
years afterward , In recognition of h
great ploty and many good works , he wi
canonized by the church.

The colored heroes of the Twcnty-f.ou.rt
infantry regiment of the regular army , wh
fought In the battle of San Juan hill , serve
In double capacity for ten days and night
In the torturing trenches before Snntlagi
and then , worn out ami almost incapacl
tatcd , heroically volunteered as yellow ft
vcr nurses nt Slboney , were given an en
thuslastlc ovation ns they passed throng
Omaha yesterday afternoon en route froi
Camp Wlkoff , Montnuk Point , N. V. . t
Fort Logan , Salt Lake City , Utah.
The reception was not comparable wit
the ono that was In store , for the bravo sol
dlers hnd they been able to accept the Ir
vltatlon to spend the day nt the Transmit
slsslppl Exposition , but It was so oordl ;
that'the dusky lighters were still cheerln
for Omaha ns their special train on tl :
Union Pacific pulled out for the west. Ovi
200 colored women were on hand wit
bunrlics of ( lowers , baskets of peache
grapes and apples for the soldiers , whll
their escorts had liberal supplies of smokln
tobacco and cigars. In exchange for the ;
favors the soldiers gave their hosts an
hostesses souvenirs In the form of button
bullets and hardtack , Inscribed with th
record of the gallant regiment. Ono we
man received a special favor In a ulns
case packed with sea shells gathered froi
the beach off Santiago.
There , was great disappointment nmor
Omahans , both white and colored , that tl
Twenty-fourth could not stop hero for
day. There was more disappointment whc
It was fouud that the heroes of San Jun
would not arrive hero until late In the a
ternoon. "I declare If they don't con

exclaimed one comely colored woman wl
had been trying to find a cool waiting plai
about the Union depot since 9 o'clock yci

every minute of the tlmo waiting for tl
soldier boys. As the afternoon were t

scnger department was to accompany tli
section out west , but didn't get a chan
to board the itraln. It was explained nftu
wards that this train did not carry the h
rocs of San Juan , but only recruits of t !
regiment , who would go to Fort Douglas
Cheyenne , Wyo.
There was such a wild rush nt all of t ;
Union Pacific otllclals In sight by the 1
dlgnant colored people that word w
quickly telegraphed to the second sectli
of the train at Council Bluffs that It mu
bo stopped at , Omaha. The crowd was go-
nalurcd and contented itself until1 :
o'clock when It pulled in just north of tl
depot. The train was run In through t !
freight yards to avoid the danger of ace

The second section contained nineteen cai

were second-class sleepers. Both tral

Rock Island road and taken west by t
Union Pacific. As Iho soldiers left Ni
York on Sunday night and will not reai

have an abundant opportunity to see t
country. Instead of taking six days to ma
the 'trip ' the ordinary passenger train cove
the distance In three days.
But when the soldiers did come In on t
Icng train drawn by two big freight engln
of the Union Pacific they were given a rig
royal iwelcome. The crowd of spectato
had been Increased to over COO and eve

pulled In. The soldiers leaned far out
the windows and responded In a hearty ma

Perhaps that didn't bring the colored fo
down to that part of the train. They jn
fell over themselves In getting back to t
last of the train with the result that all
the Koldlers were equally well favored.
It was a fine appearing regiment. Color

appeared hearty and strong. There was b
( no sick man In the lot and he was n

Story of Tlu-lr Service.
The following story of the regiment w
obtained from one of the soldiers : "In Ap
the regiment wan ordered from Fort Don

stay of ono month , it embarked on t
steamer City of Washington for Cuba. \
