Dr. Vyrnwy Morgan preached yisterdny
morning at the First Baptist church upon
the relation of a pastor to his people , anil
It was a prelude to his answer to the call
extended him to become the pastor of this
church. In the sermon he gave his Idea o (
( ho duty and work devolving upon the pas
tor and ot the loyalty and faithfulness ex
pected from the people. Ho chose as his
text Kzeklel xll. 6 : "For I have act thee
for a sign unto the house of Israel. "
"Tho Christian ministry , " he said ,
"sUuds In the same relation to the people
of this age as that occupied by the old
Hebrew prophets In their generation. It Is
the Klgn of what Christ represents. Of all
the sacred callings , none Is so sacred as
this. Preaching the word and administer
ing the sacrament stand above all other
vocations In the world. For a preacher to
exchange his preaching for any other callIng -
Ing la to make a descent In his position In
life's alignment. When the standard of
morals In the pulpit retrogrades , history
hews that the morality of the people be
comes In the eamo measure demoralized. A
minister's morals , hU life and character ,
influence 'the faith of his people In his
teachings.
"A minister should know how to use his
library and his library Is his bible. It Is
Dot the letter of the bible , but Its spirit
which should be studied. A man may have
a good deal of religion In hie head and have
very little gospel In his heart. Some teach
salvation through a creed rather than
through the gospel as laid down In the
bible. A minister Is not the hired advocate
of a creed , no matter by whom It Is drawn
up , nor Is he the paid mouthpiece for any
denomination. Ho must not waste time de
fending truth for It will defend Itself , but
ho should devote his efforts to saving souls.
Truth Is llko a torch : The more you shake
It the moro It blazes. Salvation means a
change In the man himself and In his en
vironment , social , educational and political.
It means freedom from the domination of
sin the. naked are to be clothed , the
hungry are to be fed and the Ignorant are
to bo taught.
"Pastors must cultivate contact with
their people. Too many of them conduct
their pulpits like a man-of-war. They , flro
at long range , and while they accomplish
results when they hit the mark , It Is seldom
they hit It. Yet a pastor cannot be a great
student and a great visitor. If he prepares
a sermon showing thought and atudy be
must have time , but the sermon Is not
balf so valuable as the heart that writes It.
The tailing masses especially need a word
of sympathy and encouragement more than
they need sermonizing.
"The church Is not essential to a Chris
tian life. It Is but a means to an end. Many
men live a Christian life outside the
church , but It Is better for them to bo In
the church. To be a churchman means that
you swear to God you will try to bring sun-
ahtne Into the hearts ot others. "
At the conclusion of his discourse lr.
Morgan announced he had decided to accept
the call of the church to become Us pastor
and read a abort address asking the congre
gation to unite with him ID an effort to
make his ministry a success. The decision
was a welcome one to the members and to
show ther | gratification they-roue and sang

'dOD'S CONSTANT G'AHE FOB MAN.
Rev. Dr. l.ec Paint * the Le on Con
tained In the Sparrow.
God's regard for the despised sparrow a >
being Indicative of His care as a father for
His children was the subject chosen yes
terday morning by Rev. John Lloyd Lee of
East Liverpool , O. , at the First Presbyterian
church. His text was Matthew x.29 : "Arn
not two sparrows Bold for a farthing , and
not one ot them shall fall to the ground
without your father's knowledge ? "
Speaking ot the general prejudice against
the sparrow In this country , where It Is
looked as a pest Imported from England , and
the public antipathy toward It shown. In
the latter country , where It Is declared
nuisance brought from the Orient , he re
marked that so small was the value set
upon the bird In the Orient that It took
two ot them to exchange for a farthing. But
In God's thought for the sparrow he law a
chance to contrast divine and human nature.
"You look at a man , " eald he , "and you
find , that he has sold two sparrows for a
farthing and he will sell you If you give
him an opportunity. But God will care for
even the little sparrow. Surely you con
count upon His caring for you.
"What le worth one thing to man Is worth
Infinitely more to God. We call many things
debris and worthless , but God takes them
up and puts new life In them. So with this
body of ours. It Is cast off and burled out
of Bight , but God raises It up again In the
glorious resurrection. "
Thus he found In the sparrow lessons of
faith , hope , resurrection and care. An
other sldu to his theme ho saw In the phil
osophy that misfortunes generally lead ta
possibilities better than those enjoyed be
fore. On this he observed : "When Peter
fell Into the jail he also fell Into the hands
of the angel who led him out of the jail ;
and the man that went down from Jerusalem
to Jericho and fell among thieves , he also
fell Into the hands of the good Samaritan. "
No one Is ever alone , he reasoned , save that
Christ , for purposes of vicarious atonement ,
was alone In the garden of Gethsemane and
forsaken on Calvary's cross.
To Illustrate the fundamental Idcn of his
eermon he related a story of a letter writ
ten to Mark Twain , It had been addressed

SI'r.riAI , SKHVICHN FOH ADVENT.
Mimic mill Mormon nt Klmt MvttimllHt
. \ ) > | > roirlntc to the I Jay.
The services at the First Methodist
church last night were peculiarly appioprl-
at to Advent Sunday and nearly every sent
In the largo auditorium was occupied. The
feature of the service was the Initial ap
pearance , of the enlarged choir which has
been Increased to the full capacity of the
choir left In anticipation of thp Christmas
music and the special Advent music waa
rendered with exceptional success. The
aiithcin "And the Glory of the Lord" from
"Messiah" and
the was especially deserving
the Inspiring music was sung with a spirit
and accuracy that adequately expressed
the message that It was designed to convey.
For the offertory Mr. Kelly played one of
Schumann's nocturnes with admirable deli
cacy and the less pretentious numbers were
rendered with equal success.
Rev. John McQuold delivered a short but
eloquent discourse on the theme , "The
World Awaiting Its Redeemer. " Ills text
consisted of the words , "And the desire to
all nations should come" and from this he
spoke forcibly of the Advent and Its les
sons.
In beginning ho spoke of the Influence
that the promise ot Christ's coming had
exerted In the earlier times and asked what ,
If this had been so full of Interest to man
kind , should be our emotions , now that the
promise has been fulfilled ? We have done
well to date from that event a new era.
All that Is north having today , either In
our civilization or In our times , dates from
the coming of the Redeemer. H stands by
Itself In unique and solitary grandeur.
Before proceeding further the speaker
discussed the view that has been advanced
In some quarters that the Incarnation of the
Saviour In the llesh was unworthy of our
conception of the divinity. Looked at from
the scholastic standpoint It might seem In
credible , but when we look at It from the
standpoint of human want and contemplate
what God must do to save humanity It be
comes perfectly natural.
To emphasize this point he compared our
conception of the divinity with our con
ception of woman as representing all that
Is pure and elevating. But In the rebellion ,
when a million men were marching south
ward and a million more were marching
northward there was no place where there
was more that was brutal and vulgar and
shocking toidcllcate sensibilities than In the
hospitals. But even there woman moved
among the horrible scenes and ministered
'
to the maimed and dying and still 'their
names will ever be held In sacred remem
brance. He compared the coming ot Christ
to earth with the presence of refined wo
manhood In the hospitals , and contended
that one conception Is no more unworthy
than the other. Ho then spoke of the times
preceding the Advent when the event was
the engrossing tbcmo of piety and the fond
expectation of Hebrew hearts. He empha
sized the fact that of all the religions that
have ever been offered to humanity that of
Christ was the only one that was fully
adapted to the want of man. What the
world needs Is the cross of Calvary and
Christ alone can satisfy the human heart.
He urged his hearers In this season to ac
cept Christ as the most precious gift that
they could receive.
IT IS MOIIE HLESSKD TO GIVE.
Hev. Dr. Moore on the Dnty of ClirU-
tlniiM at ChrlHtmn * Time.
At the Westminster Presbyterian church
yesterday morning the pastor. Rev. T V.
Moore , preached on.the text from Acts xx :
35 : "Ye ought to help the weak , and re
member the words of our Lord Jesus , how
He Himself said , It Is more blessed to give
than to receive. "
The sermon was A plea for the church at
Chrtetmas time to remember the needy.
The preacher showed how God had always
manifested a special care ( or and tender
ness toward the dependent , the weak and
the poor ; how the rights ot person and prop
erty of the widow , the orphan , the foreigner
and the laborer were taken care of In spe
cial enactments of the Mosaic law , and how
Christ < n Hlo life and In His teachings
manifested His own Interest In the poor
and the weak In a special way.
He then said : "God has laid this duty
also upon His people to help the weak , not
merely the poor In outward circumstances ,
but all who need help or sympathy. We
ought to help them with our love and ym-
pathy. Ths church should be a haven ol
refuge ( or the tempted and a place ol
restoration ( or the ( alien. The church also
should be the champion of the weak against
the strong , and not atand aloof ( rom the
contests between strength and dependence.
In the , great social questions of today the
church should not be silent. "
He apoke of the ( act that the body ol
laboring men as represented In their labor
organisations Is generally alienated
from , It not hostile to , Ihe church , and said
that this was due In part , no doubt , to the
fact that the church bad lost sight to some
extent of the mission which her Lord gave
her and In which He set her an example
ot championing the cause of the weak
against the strong In all just claims.
He also urged that we ought to help the
weak with our money and gifts and call
upon the people at this Christmas time as
the fitting way to celebrate the birthday ol
Jesus Christ , to seek out those homes
where poverty and suffering banished the
possibility of Christmas Joy and to bring
relief thus to learn the truth of the words ,
"It Is more blessed to give than to receive. "
WHY TIIUOSOI'IIV is RATIONAI , .
Dr. Mary WrekN llurnctt Dliicour eii
> i the Illmln Idea.
An exhaustive argument to show why
theosophy Is a rational plan ot evolution
was presented to the Theosophlcal society
In Royal Arcanum hall In The Bee building
last evening by Dr. Mary Weeks Burnett ol
Chicago. There was quite a largo audience
gathered to hear so well known an exponent
of the doctrines ot Blavatsky.
Her great postulate was that the universe
Is the manifestation of dlvlno Ideation and
evolution an active unfolding of latent po
tentialities after a positively Intelligent
plan. Intelligence , motion and space , there
fore , constitute the great trinity of all
present being , all that has been and all
that Is to come.
Referring to India as the cradle of the
Aryan , or fifth , race of mankind , she con
sidered It the trcasurehouae of the occult
science and wisdom known by the term
"thcosophy. " The Hindu sages taught that
motion Is the "great breath ; " that the
"logos" came forth as one of the earliest
aspects of Ufa and that progressive devel
opment Is a constant unfolding from-within
outward fiom the atoms and lowest order ]
of organized life up to man , and thence tu
what are known as Chrlsts , masters , Budd-
has , saviors of humanity In short , from
atom tc man and from man to goilliooJ.
One of her statements was that the Idea
of a biblical period of n few thousand years
as a limited time of crentlon must elve
way to an Infinitude of time. It has been
perhaps 25,000,000 years since the upheaval
of the continents of Asia and Europe , An
other was that there Is no such thing ae
"dead matter , " All atoms are tbrobbluj
with life. Biologists have discovered polar
ity In the metals.
On the subject of the "logo * " she com
pared the Christian and Hindu writings
The Christian scripture cays : "In the be-
was the word , and the \\ord wai
vlth God , and the wbrd was God. " The
Hindu writings say , "The word was sent
forth. " So on this Idea of all phenomena
being a general manifestation ot the dlvlno
word or "logos , " the reasoned out her
scheme of evolution from the lowest to the
highest life nttcr the arguinent of Madame
Blavatsky's "Secret Doctrine. "
The mrstlc number , seven , was utilized.
There are seven grades oftsubstance ether ,
air , fire , water and earth belns five of
them ; there are seven stages of life , the
atomic , the organized Into forms , the think
ing , etc. , man representing the third or
mental plane. Man has three bodies , she
said , the mental , astral and physical.
Through the mental he farms the types ot
being he Is yet to become by his construc
tion ot mental Images. By means' of these
mental Images he corrects the astral or
"desire" body and subordinates the physical
body. The lines of evolution are through
the physical , psychical , mental and spiritual.
"Whatsoever a man sows that shall he
reap , " she quoted from the Christian re
ligion. "What a man thinks that shall he
become , " declared the Hindu sage. Ac
cordingly , governed by the eternal law ,
Karma , man Constantly builds himself anew
as he stores up experiences and wisdom In
one life for use In the next. The old Idea
ot a heaven with nothing for the soul to
do but "sit on a cloud and play a harp , "
and ot a hell where the soul Is to be con
stantly burned , " she remarked , was prac
tically discarded fifty years ago. She drew
a rational scheme of successive reincarna
tions from plane to plane , Inferring that
the future manifestation ot being Is al
ways where the last ended. Would one bf
in that family and nation where the high
est Ideals prevail , he must devote the pres
ent life to the highest Ideals , and vice versa.
Special IlnptlNinal Service.
A special baptismal service was held at
the Zlon Baptist church yesterday afternoon ,
when two colored members of the congrega
tion were Immersed. Nearly 100 fellow
members of the church were present to see
the ceremony and the elder , Thomas Jeffery ,
preacTied a sermon on the "Philosophy of
Baptism , " which was listened to with in
terest.
The service waa commenced by special
music by the choir , then taking for a text ,
Matthew xxvlll , 20 , "Teaching Them to Ob
serve All Things , " the elder described tne
first baptisms -that were performed by John
and explained the significance ot the cere
mony In biblical days. He defended the
doctrines ot his church that have been as
sailed by other denominations and concluded
by telling how baptism serves to make men
better Christians.
The congregation then went downstairs
and gathered about the font. The elder read
the baptismal service and taking the men
one at a time , Immersed them. It was a
good deal llko an old-time baptism In the
country , for the font was nearly as deep as
many small rivers and when the divine and
the converts stepped Into the water It was
up to their waists. There was a good deal
of sputtering and a good deal of shivering ,
for the water was taken directly from tne
well without being heated , but after a
prayer for divine guidance In the future and
a change of dry clothing. , those baptized
went out ot the church stimulated morally
and physically for the battle with lite.
One of the men was Levl B , Bradley , who
was discharged last October from the United
States army after a service of thirty years

A foot of snow In November that remains
banked In the street and scattered over the
vacant loin for a month without material
diminution , an atmosphere that persistently
remains below the freezing point and suffi
cient Ice and snow to make winter sports
enjoyable through several successive weeks
Is a decided novelty In Nebraska , where the
winter season teldom reaches Its climax ot
severity until well Into the new year and la
then constantly broken by rapid thaws thai
convert the snow Into slush and menace the
health of the people by sudden atmospheric
changes. It has been nearly a decade since
Omaha has enjoyed such a virile suggestion
of the real New England winter as that
which came to give zest to our Thanksgiving
dinner and which has almost remained for
Christmas cheer. It Is Just four weeks thlB
morning since the first severe storm of the
season heaped the streets with snow and
drovc the street railway company to despair
and still enough of the original deposit re
mains to afford magnificent sport for thou
sands of youngsters , and until the last day
or two the bright sunlight has been unable
to make progress toward clearing the pave
ments of their Icy covering.
The storm began with n tempest of sleet
at 3 o'clock on the morning of November 21
and soon after the slumbering population of
the city came to life It changed to a heavy ,
blinding snow , which rapidly transformed
all out-of-doors Into an unbroken expanse
of drifting white. It continued all day and
through the following night and when the
clouds were finally broken nearly a foot ot
the winter covering remained all over east
ern Nebraska. Some additional snow fell
during the next few days and In the period
from November 21 to December 15 , Inclusive ,
the total sriowfall wns 13.3 inches.
Unprecedented Cold Weather.
The lowest temperature recorded by the
government thermometer during this time
was G degrees below zero on December 9.
In many other places the mercury Indi
cated several additional degrees of cold and
for several days It hovered around the zero
point with a persistence unusual nt this
time of the year. On nineteen days out o !
twenty-five the maximum temperature was
below the freezlng'polnt and on sixteen days
It went below 10 degrees. Although there
were only three days on which It went be
low zero , the cold was unusual and the
mean temperature during the twenty-flvc
days was 35 degrees.
The records oft the weather bureau show
but few cases In which these conditions have
been equaled at ibis .season. . In November ,
1891 , the mean temperature was 34
degrees and theilowpst was 2 decrees be
low zero.1 But there were only six days
during 'the month , on whlchi the thermom
eter did not rise above the freezlne point
and there was only a i trace of snowfall.
In November , 1890the mean temperature
was 42 degrees and On the 20th the mercury
rose to 70 degrees. The lowest temperature
recorded was-20'degE irsi.and there were only
IWo'Uayg'ofaJwhlcli'Utwent.belowithe/frcer-

November , 1887 , displayed a remarkable

day of the month the thermometer. , regis
tered 80 degrees , and on the 27th It went
to 25 degrees below zero , put -the .mean
temperature was 40idegiees-and there were
about three- and one-halt Inches of snow.
In 1879 there was also a seveiely cold
period early In the season. But In this cast
the froit wai not la , evidence until well Into
December , when some terrific cold was experienced
*
perienced : On the day before Christmas
the weather'bureau quoted the temperature
at 17 degrees below zero and out on the
bottoms and in exppsed localities the mer
cury simply dropped out of sight and left
the freezing population to think what It
pleased. Aside from this tremendous freeze. ,
however , the month ! was not uncomfortable ,
ai there were onlytslx days on which the
mercury did not rise at least 32 degrees.

unexpected Jffoney. 9S.X
We want to put just a word in edgeways this
morning about Home now suits and overcoats just
arrived. They're worth a whole page. Wo want to
sandwich 'em in between your thoughts of Christ
inas things for theae may set you thinking of a
Christmas gift worth while. Goods heavy , hand
some , sterling ulsters , in black"frioze not genuine
frieze , but the next best thing to it at three seventy-
five. That's worth thinking about. We've sold
some pretty good ulsters this season for the same
price , but these are fully two pounds heavier and
just a little better looking and you'll say when you
see them they're just the best things you ever came
across inside of the Nebraska walls. And hero's an
other good thing. A bran now lot of men's double
breasted , black or blue cheviot suits genuine
cheviot at $6.50 a suit. Maybe you've seen as good
suits as these sold at $9.07 in alleged mark down
sales , and maybe you haven't and if there's any
mark down sale in Omalia this season , that sells any-
better suits for $7.50 or eight dollars or eight fifty ,
you can come back here and get a rebate on yours. Wo
mention these two items simply because they are
fairly representative of the great values in this re
cent shipment of suits and overcoats a shipment
made necessary by the unprecedented heavy trade
of this season and having the benefits of unexpected
money for the makers thrown in.
