With a platform meeting at the First Con
gregational church yesterday afternoon the
Liberal Congress of Hcllglon concluded Us
convention In this cloy. The sentiment wns
Voiced by Itahbl n. O. Hlrech of Chicago
that members of the congress had been Im
pressed very encouragingly by the liberality
of the welcome they had mot with In
Omaha. They had found much more llbcr-
nllty In religious matters than they could
possibly 1m vo expected. Several of the
moro prominent of the Woman's National
council wcro seated upon the platform.
The principal address was made by Haobl
Jllrsch. He spoke after the audience , led
by Hev. Anna Shaw , had repeated fho Lord's
prayer. The trend of his remarks was to
ultow just what the spirit of the Liberal
Congress Is. Ho would never agree , ho said ,
to the proposition to cut off the word "lib-
oral" from its name , for "while thcro has
been plenty of religion of Its kind In the
world , there has not been any too much of
liberality. It was my privilege , " ho ex
plained , "to speak an opening word for this ,
the fifth meeting of the congress , nnd It hns
como to mo to say a parting word. Wo all
trust that the gathering of the congress has
favorably Impressed Omaha nnd that the
few thought germs left by It have fallen on
good soil and will bring forth fruit In abun
dance. " He continued :
Liberalism In the vocabulary of many Is
supposed to be a destroyer and Is synony
mous with lovlty , but I cannot agree with the
proposition to change our name , for the
present one best Indicates the purpose of
the congress. My early training has taught
mo the value of liberalism. As long ns the
vorld will confound the Jew with anything
that Is ICSB than noble I shall display my
Judaism for the uplilting of humanity.
Liberalism Is a constructive work. One holy
mnbltlon animates us nil , one sacred desire-
llres the hearts of all. I doubt If there has
been ono single sentence during the entire
convention hero that could be construed as
pulling down. It hns been the occasion for
the conveying of the consecrated word nnd
sacred message of true re'lglon.
Trinity of I
It was Hegel who divided religion Into the
three-fold rhythm of thesis , antithesis and
synthesis ; that Is , the positive statement ,
the negative denial and the higher recon
ciliation between the denial and the affirma
tion. The first stop in liberalism waa to
positively assert the right of man to do his
own thinking. In contending for this right
the liberal had to deny the position assumed
by his opponent , bometltnes harsh wonli
were necessary and an emphasis wns put
on trivial things which had acquired an Im
portance beyond their Intrinsic measure. The
right to think was followed soon after by a
pattilon to deny everything under the name
of religion. The liberal thought the emanci
pation of the human race could not bo
brought about under the shadow of church
nnd synagogue. And so In the assertion of
the right of freedom of thought the right
of the church oven to exist wns denied , nut
modern liberalism Is the svnthesls and It
hns learned to recognize the value of all
religions as historical forces. Freedom of
thought has been supplemented by reverent
thought and In church nnd pagoda , mosque ,
monastery nnd pnrthenon nre recognized
forces that make a higher and better hu
manity.
We bollove that In lellKlon Is to bo found
the salvation of humanity. Ho Is a vain
babbler who repeats the old accusation that
but for religion men would bo free. Every
persecution that has disgraced the world's
annals has been due to political ambitions
or social movements. Religion has had no
hand In them. I , ns a Jew , appreciating
the horrors of persecution for eighteen cen
turies too well , feel free to say that In all I
Iheso persecutions Clulstlanlty had no hand.
Religion stands for n spiritual force unit
ing men Into n higher nnd nobler llfo In a
great brotherhood. Uvcn the crudest re
ligions represent bonds which bind the sav-
nges ono to another.
The books of the day show the trend ot [
the age. Twenty years ago they were de
voted to biology , ten years ngo to economics !
today they nro giving us the real message
of religion. Twcntv years ago n book like
Hall Cnlno'H "Christian" might have been
written , but It would not have been read ,
but today it has kept spellbound the English
speaking nations as an appeal to the larger ,
deeper religious thought and Is n testimony
that to John Storms belongs the leadership
of the future. Germany , the homo of Indif
ferences , Is today becoming a nntlon of re
ligion. Antl-Scmltlsm Is becoming consid
ered a social cllcaso In France , menacing
her very vital cxlstcnco as a nation.
lliiinniilty of tlit > Future.
Modern liberalism Is the Elijah which la
j
prophesying the humanity of the future. II '
stands for n religion that would change the
world of today Into n paradise without wait
ing for a world to come , whether It bo called 1
Judaism , Christianity , Agnosticism , Moham
medanism or nuddhlsm. Our congress Is the

the water of truth until a stronger one *
comes who will baptl/o humanlt )
with flro nnd n deeper Inspiration
Wo are working for a brotherhood of hu
manity. This Is the spirit of this congress
Each ono may freely follow his own religion
ns being his particular regimental colors
conscious that wo nro all led by the same
great standard of humanity. One , who tc
mo Is among the prophets , has saici : "ir
my Father's house are many mansions
Wo nro all preachers of His religion , the
spirit of God working In us all , believing
that duty Is the highest sacrament of life
nnd that righteousness and truth are the
powers leading us up to God's higher house
of n united , redeemed and transformed hu
manity.
Susan D. Anthony was among the women i
seated on the platform. Besides her waj

was called upon. She remarked that Ilabbl I
Illrsch seemed ( o bo a pretty good Quaker
she had been reared a Quaker herself. Her
words were mostly nn appeal for a greater
recognition of the uphcre of woman and she
used the war as an illustration , sa > lng thcro
had been no criticism of the masculine fea
tures of It In "one part of humanity butcher
ing another , " but In the commissary and
hospital departments the need of women had {
been painfully manifest ; yet the surgeon
general of the army had denied to women
the privilege of going to the front to nurse-
and care for the soldiers ,
Richer for Having tlic > I < Mtx.
Ur. Thomas , the president of the congress ,
followed. He thought humanity the richer
for Judaism ; that Moses , Abraham , the
prophets , Judaism and Jesus all belonged to
humanity ; likewise Socrates and Plato ; that
religion Is the common possession of all hu
manity. Twenty-eight jcars ago ho had
been converted to the point where ho was n
good Jew ; later to where he was n good
Catholic ; now ho Is n Methodist , even If
not owned as such , and Is nUo a Presby
terian nnd n Unptlst. All the mistakes and
strife of the world , ho observed , had been
about nothing , not about something.
After him Hev. Anna Shaw voiced the
sentiment that woman's place by tbo side of
man Is getting to bo moro and more npprej j
elated. The closing talk was by Uev. Jenkln
Lloyd Jones of Chicago. While It had required - ;
quired great courage at Santiago and Snn
Juan , greater courage , ho believed , Is neces
sary to take n stand for conscience.
Most of those who had been attending the
congress left Immediately for their homes
after the meeting.
WHAT "JUDAISM" STAMS POU.
Ur. Hinll ( ! . Hlrxeh 'IVIln the Jcvtn of
Tlu-lr Itnelnl lnt > .
Dr. Emll G. Illrsch of Chicago , who oc
cupied the pulpit at Temple Israel j ester-
day morning , was complimented by the
presence of an unsually largo gathering of
people , who came to hear his sermon on
the subject "Judaism. " The customary
j services vvero read by Rabbi Leo Franklin ,
who afterward Introduced Dr. Illrsch as the
co-worker and teacher eminent by reason
of the thought he has directed In reveal
ing Judaism In this country for many years
past. Dr. Illrsch preached on eloquent ser
mon , setting forth the beliefs and doc-
I trlnes of the reformed Jews and asking for
I the application of these principles In everyday -
, day life. Ho said : "Ho was a profound
thinker who said , 'tho questions which
wring themselves out of our soul nro the
landmarks of our progress.1 History
abounds In Illustrations of the truth of
this saying. The questions which wo put
to ourselves , to others , and to science , give
nn Insight Into our own ambitions and re
veal the nature of our own character. Let
mo meet n man busy Inquiring after the
purpose of life , after the part In llfo which
I ho must play , Inquiring after the means
to employ that will enable him to bo true
! to himself and to others , aud I will nnd
I him near to God's throne. He will hear
I and join In the song that will bo the final
j melody of history and the ultimate refrain
of creation.
"Tell mo what agitates the hearts of a
people nud I know the fiber of that people.
The sad certainty deepens every day that
wo ns a people have no great questions to
consider. Our hearts nnd eyes are not open
to great Issues , our ears are deaf to the
deep prophecies of the future. What do
wo stand for as a community ? , Silence , si
lence of the cemetery. We cannot deny
that the cemetery Is the ground foundation
of many a congregation. If there were no
death many church congregations would
dissolve tomorrow. It Is the fear of not
being sped to death with the orisons of
the church that keeps us members of their
congregations.
"It Is true that we are all proud of our
Jndalsm , but when we come to analyzs
our pride , what does It consist of ? Listen to
our average lodge orator. Ho will descant
on the glories and splendor of Israel's his
tory. Ho will name as famous among Jews ,
Disraeli , converted to our faith , Bernhardt ,
an actress of doubtful morality. Ho will
tell us that the Jews have always been
great financiers , naming the Rothschilds ,
Baron do Illrsch and other men who were
multi-millionaires. Ho will also tell us of
great singers and artists ; ho will name
over all those names with which history Is
vocal. I am surprised sometimes to think
that Samson Is not claimed as a Jew. At
the next lodge meeting I am prepared to
hear that Dewcy Is a Jew ; that his name
Is not Dewey but Jewey. Men who repre
sent the Jews In politics always harp on
ono theme , forever draw the bow across a
single string. They speak of the glory of
Israel. It Is grateful to our ears , but the
real glory wo do not understand and our
real mission ! wo are the last to fulfill.
"Wo are standing ot the parting of the
ways. What Is Israel's mission ? Why do
wo have our own synagogues ? Why do we
not join with other sects ? Is there some
spiritual necessity , eomo moral obligation ,
calling us from our segregation , from asso
ciations w It'll our neighbors ? Judaism Is
not merely a religion. If It were only a
religion under the present circumstances
wo would have no right to separate our
selves from other sects.
"Judaism Is ethical culture. To do Justly ,
to love mercy , to walk humbly with God , Is
the sacrlmeutal announcement of our creeds.
Wheresoever the chains of bondage clank ,
there must the Jew be to break them ; where
soever the weak are , there the Jew must
bo to help them to rise ; wheresoever great
questions nre to be answered , great good
to bo accomplished , thcro must the Jew be
to fulfill his mission. "

pit of the First Methodist Episcopal church
yesterday morning. Ktcry scat In the largo
auditorium and In the balcony was occupied
and the thoughtful discourse on "Tho World
of the Heal" was listened to with rapt
attention.
In the course of Ills sermon the preacher
saidVo : must nuke the world more real
to ournelvcs. Tha mind stands amazed at
the Incomprchcnslblcncss of the facts and
the forces of the material world. Physical
sciences deal with these. There has also
arisen a mental .science. It matters little
what we call the world ; the mind Is real.
The Great Teicher of the world had two
books the world and the soul. Things are
from the Insldo outward. The right con
ception of the world of the real In religion
Is an understanding of the heart world ,
This IB embodied In what wo call the church
a homo for the spiritual side of things.
The universe Is mental and spiritual , just
as much as It material. The great differ
ence In this century from the last Is that
the mind has gone forth and gained the
mastery over the unseen forces of nature. "

A Inrgc audience was present nt All
Saints' church yesterday morning to greet
David Starr Jordan of Stanford university ,
scientist , llterateur and educator. The lecture -
turo had for Its theme , "The nubbles of
Sake , " token from the lines of Omar
Khayam
The < -ternnl Snke , from that eternal bowl
lius ixnircd
Millions of bubbles llko us nnd shall pour.
It was a presentation of the philosophy of
despair with the answer returned to It by
science. Preceding the address the choir
Bang Kipling's "Ilecesslonal , " which was
known to bo the favorite hymn of the
speaker and considered by him the "hymn
of the twentieth century. " The solos were
by Mrs. Johnston ? and Will Manchester.
Dr. Jordan remarked pleasantly that ho
had one advantage as a layman In choosing
his text , that , unllko a clergyman , he was
permitted to take It from passages that were
not true , Instead of being confined to the
scriptures. The general basis of the address
was said to be Fitzgerald's version of
Khayaui's "Ilubalyat , " the general tenor of
whoso writing was of despair. It showed
the Infinite smallness and unimportance of n
human being swallowed up by time and
space along with millions ns Insignificant as
himself. The effect of ono man's life , the
poem said , was llko that of a pebble thrown
Into the billows of the Seven seas. The
desperate futility nnd Impotence of man was
made the poem's motive , as noted In the
lines :
Some little talk of Thee nnd me there was ,
An 1 then no tnlk of Theo nnd me
O , love , could you and I with Him con
To grasp this sorry scheme of things tn-
AVoulil'wo not shatter It to bits , nnd then
no-mold It nearer to the heart's desire ?
"Man was not present when the founda
tions of the world were laid , " said Dr. Jor
dan , "and beyond the fact' that they weie
laid wisely and stiongly , his knowledge does
not go Ills comprehension Is bounded by
tlmo ; It cannot conccho of what went before -
fore creation or what will follo.v otter H.
There Is a strong desire lrr the human
breast , however , Do feel Into the Infinite , to
grope Into the enshrouding darkncsi. In
doing this many uro brought to despair.
They feel how nearly Impossible It Is for
them to escape the courses set for them
hundreds of years aso , to put aside the ac-
t'lons and words laid dowo for them through
the generations and vie glv > a now cue to
posterity. It Is plain t > them that nothing
can be known certainly , that reason all best
Is but an Instrument to partially clear up
the confusion of the mini. The best pes
simism tries to see things as they re.illy aru
nnd this leads to sadness Cut to see things
as they are Is not to oeo the truth , for to
realize that Is to see the Impelling forces
back of things. Evolution sees in each mo
menu the conflux of two e'.einltlcs , and
though each is insignificant In Itself , It is
pregnant with the meaning of the past and
the future.
"Pessimism is o condition which occurs
frequently at certain periods In vho lived of
men , for cheerfulness Is not so much the
result of right thlnklngjis of stead" neivca
For Instance , nt the arrival of manhood the
youth feels a new strength como to him and
new possibilities of happiness otfcrcd to his
grasp. His life Is full of a new sensation ,
but after the first Impulse of It has passed
there comes a reaction. After the exuber
ance of the blrt'h of manhood the individual
feels the chains of heredity and onvlion-
ment. He sees that what It Is possible for
him to say and do countless otheis are ac
complishing and have accomplished through
the ages.
"There Is a pessimism also In the reaction
which comes from tasting earthly pleasure.
Somewhere In the world's Infancy men dis
covered drugs nnd learned their virtue.
They learned that they could strike out
dead yestarday and dull tomorrow from
life's calendar and live only In the present.
Such a condition , however , was always fol
lowed by nerve decay and phjalcal vitiation ,
v/llh the consequent depression. "
After tbo foregoing presentation of the
doctrine of despair the speaker summoned
In reply the testimony of science , which
has brought from the side of absolute fact
a glimpse of the truth on the mysteries
of life. "There Is no hope for a man , "
said Dr. Jordan , "unless the sod under his
feet seems to him the sweetest bit of earth
In the universe. It Is not the purpose of
the true Iconoclast to tear down the fabric
of law , but rather to live In conformity
with the universe. Ho does not wish to re
mold 'tho sorry scheme of things entire , '
but rather to live and act In the moment
that Is his. The present Is man's alone ;
never were skies so bright or llfo so sweet
as now , to < lay. Why should ho wish to
penetrate the veil of the unknowable ? Would
ho care for a universe If he could master
the machinery back of It ? If ho could
bend the earth to his will , would he find
the manhood nnd character In It that he
gains by his struggle for existence ? What
matter If he Is but an atom among count
less other similar beings on earth and be
neath It , can ho not play his part In the
great scheme strongly and well ? Such n
view wljl certainly be moro effective for
optimism Is a good working hjpothesls
when Its rlso Is not In Ignorance. Pes
simism , whether resulting from speculative
philosophy , personal failure or diseased
nerves , can never bo wrought Into the true
spirit of fife.
"Tho twin functions which science ad
vances In explanation of the purpose of
human llfo arc love and action. When
a man has failed In these ends , then when
a.ll Is over may some friend turn down his
glass of life empty and dry. Out It there
Is such a friend the glass la not quite
empty , for the llfo has left some Impress
upon Its surroundings. As man carries out
these appointed functions , loving and actIng -
Ing , so will his mind and body bo healthy
and fruitful. "

Rev. Jenkln Lloyd Jones of Chicago oc
cupied the pulpit In Unity church yesterday.
He was greeted by a congregation that filled
every seat In the house. The text of his
sermon was found In John x , 10 , and he
dire-ted the attention of his hearers K > c
consideration of tlu < tendencies and charac
teristic ! ) of the religion of today.
As n. preface to his sermon ho said thai
what ! ho should say would not be what hi
ought to eny after the meeting of the congress >
gross which had Ju t closed In tbo Firs' '
Congregational church , but that he wanted
to talk of what tno jveels ago.
bo the growing religion. Ho explained that
his sermon had been written nt that time
and that the deliberations of thn
congress had gone so far be > end
nil that he had prcpnrdd that ho feared that
H might seem flat. Ho continued :
Thcro ore three marked tendencies In the
religion of the day. Ao a difference in de
gree ultimately ends In a difference In kind ,
so religion in Its progress along the lints
of evolution has taken on a far dltlerent
aspect than that which 11 bore a century
"BO. The first change Is everywhere manl
iest , llio main Interest Is 110 longer In
theology , out in sociology. Man has loii
his curiosity In manuscripts and authorities
and is becoming concerned with the socio
logical problems of the age.
In the ' 60s the cry was to give the children
English , In the ' 70s plve them the study of
thing ? , in the fcus let their education bo
practical , In the TCs acquaint them with the
numan relations. The fact Hint man Is n
social being has brought sociology to the
front. Somu change like this has taken
place In religion. Theological schools have
Introduced new studies and now doctrines.
The old questions of theology are being neg
lected for the consideration of the newer
questions of sociology. The spirit of Pro-
testantlsm Is giving away to n spirit of
Catholicism. Controversy has done all that
It can for the development of sociology.
Presbyterlanlsm has exhausted It , nnd there
's more and more talk of uniting the many
ranches of that church.
The third change In religion has been ono
rom war to pence. Gontroversv haw given
way to harmony. The czar of Hussia is
prophet of religion. The bayonet nnd the
nnnon are doomed and the time will come
.hen they will bo curiosities In the cabinets
f nations. The A P. Alsni of today is
bsuid a focllsh movement of honest souls ,
hero has gone forth the theological protocol
liat will unify all beliefs. Kcllglon Is not
ko fome banyan tree that exists alone. It
s not something outside of and Independent
> f man not n mere Intellectual expansion ,
t Is tent zeal for the general good that
uakcs sacrifice joyous that preoccupation
n the contcmnlotlon of the far-off ends.
Growth In religion comes only with that
evelopment that mokes helpfulness nnd
sefulncss the nrc-cmlncnt claims.

lev. Anna II. Mum CUoN Her Idea of
Hie Iluly < > t ClirlHllmiH.
Hev. Anna II. Shaw of Philadelphia occil-
led the pulpit nt the First Methodist
Episcopal church last evening. She look for
ier text Acts xxxvl , 20 , and discussed what
t means to bo a Christian , saying In part :
Wo ore nuking today what Is the difference
letween the man who Is n Christian nnd
he one who Is not. Some sav that to be a
Christian Is to llvo In n Christian land ,
thers to bo a member of the church nnd
till another may nay that It means to be-
leve In Jesus Christ. Yet , with all of these ,
, man may never have felt the first throb
f the real essence of a. Christian life. Chris-
Innlty Is more than feeling , acting or be-
lovlng ; It Is a life nnd not a dogma.
A man may be very religions nnd yet bo
cry iar from being a Christian. Ho may
ever come In sight of Jesus ns the master
nil at His feet becoming obedient to the
cachings of His life The difference bc-
vvcen the boy who enters life ns an oiTlco
oy nnd dies a Judge and the one who dies
Janitor Is that the. tanner saw a vision ,
hat vision was berore him In every tasit
hat ho performed. So every man who has
undertaken nny work has a vision. That
islon has been before the eyes or all the
great reformers It has prompted the efforts
f the men who have carved their names
high on the temple of fame.
If this vision Is necessary how much more
rue is It that In the higher life of the soul
\e should have a vision of Jesus Christ as
> ur mauler and the inspiration It would give
us If we were obedient to Him ? How 1m-
osslble It would be to live the life of the
Jhrlstlan without the vision of Jesus be-
ore the Christian soul.
So the difference between the man who
s a Chrlstllm and the one who Is not Is
hat the ono plods on day after day with
o thought of what Is before him and no
: leals , while the other has before htm the
islon of Jesus ns the master and beholds
n His face the glory of God which trans-
'orms him.

to Jones.
You know Jones. Well , Jones , you know , thinks
he's p'Hty smooth. L.-ist winter ho figured out that
ho was going to buy a twenty two dollar overcoat
for about twelve ninety seven , by waiting until
March or April and so ho went around all winter
without any overcoat , and every Sunday he'jl pick
up the papers and read all about the mark down
sales. At last one Sunday morning in February his
eyes bulged out like a lobsters and ho spilled
a whole cup of coffee on the brand now ta
blecloth , for there it was in plain type large
as life and twice as easy all of our finest qual
ity overcoats including patent beavers , meltons
and imported kerseys , marked all season from
25.00 up to 35.00 now go in one bunch at the extraor
dinary price of steen 98. Jones fairly yelled. It
wasn't the mark down alone but now he was going
to get even with that dog-gone Nebraska who had just
the coat he wanted marked seventeen dollars and
he'd been trying to buy it all beason for fifteen del
lars , but they wouldn't throw ofE a cent. Well , that
was last winter. Jones thought ho was going to
buy a 22.00 coat for 12.97 but he knows better now.
The coats that were advertised as worth 25.00 to
35.00 wore never marked higher than 20.00 and
there was only a few very small sizes and a few very
large sixes and Jones came over hero to The Nebras
ka and paid us 17.00 for his coat , and you can't fool
Jones with any more mark down sales. Our over
coats are marked down now. At any price you want
to pay from 4.00 up to 22.50 wo will guarantee to
give you a better bargain than you can get any wkoro
else at any time of the year.
