The auditorium of St. Mary's Avenue Con
gregational church was crowded lo Its full
capacity Sunday morning and among those In
attendance were many of the old-tlmo citi
zens. Mcst of the members of the church
vvcro present and In addition there were
scores of the members of the other Con
gregational churches of the city. All came
to listen to the sermon by Rev. A. K. Shcr-
rill , who for yearn was the pastor of the
Tirol Congregational church of Omaha , and
who wns fiuhscquontly the founder of St.
Mary's Avenue Congregational church. The
sermon was an eloquent and forcible argu
ment and was listened lo wl'h the closest
attention. AJtor Iho services nearly nil iho
members of the congregation gathered about
the pulpit and greeted their pastor nnd
neighbor of Bevcral years ago ,
.Slnco leaving Omaha Rov. Mr. . Sherrill
lias occupied pulpits In Chicago , Gaksburg
and St. Loulfl and at the preecnt he Is living
at Park Uldge , 111. Rev. Sherrill haa
changed but little In appearance olnce leav
ing Omaha. Of course , he has aged some ,
and his dark hair Is somewhat streaked with
white , yet ho has lost none of the force
of former jenrs. His voice Is Just as clear
and hie arguments arc just ns strong and
convincing as they were In former years. Ho
atlH retains his pleasant , style of delivery.
The text which furnished the subject for
Rov. Shcrrlll's morning sermon dealt with
the creation of the world and man being
placed upon the earth. After a discussion
of the subject the speaker took Up material
ism nnd spoke of the English and other for
eign writers having a tendency to apeak of
Americana as materialists who arc engaged
In the bread nnd butter business , and com
prising a lot of people going to make up a
kingdom of dollars.
"MatcrlallEim In this life , " said the
Epcakei , "Is a deslro upon the part ot the
American people to build railroads , engage
In Industrial pursuits , ralso cattle and grain
nnd placi themselvc- n position to enJoy -
Joy tha comforts oj life. " Life was de
scribed as an activity and all material things
aM subjugated harnessed and made to
brlni ; nbou ! results "It Is not the plan
oj th Amcrlcann to stop , eurso or run
away , but Instead they are found working
and will en contlnuo until all of the things
of heaven and earth are subjugated in the
great development ot the soul.Vo are not
golnfi In wreck our railroads , wo are not
going to hapg Edison , but , on the contrary ,
we are going on Increasing their useful
ness. "
The war In the Philippines was referred
to briefly and the opinion was expressed
that the United States government Is help
ing thu Filipinos to better understand the
principles of self-government , which event
ually will bring about a school system and
n Christian civilization.
Labor was denominated as an honorable
occupation and In discussing the proposition
tha speaker said : "Some people look down
upon manual labof , regarding it as coarse
nnd grosJ. " In contradiction of this It was
pointed out that Christ was a Iab6rer and
for ycara worked as a humble carpenter ,
following thi ) trade In which His father was
so skillful. "Labor , " said Mr. Sherrill , "Is
nobl * . It strengthen the body and keeps
thn mind from 'polluting thoughts and Ihe
only on vvha ever lived n ported Hfo was
th man who for forly years labored. "

By a friendly Inlerchango of pulplta the
services atr St. Paul's Episcopal church
yesterday were conducted by Rov. Charles
A. Weed of Columbus , Neb. , a well-known
clergyman.
Mr. Weed spoke of the development of
manhood , liking the discipline necessary In
the formation ot a Christian character to
that with which an earthly father molds the
nature of his child. The disappointments
which como to men and women , said the
speaker , the heartaches which scorn so
needless and so cruel , are only a part of
the process by which the Father prepares
his children for a higher , wider Hfo , "For
whom the Lord loveth , Ho correctoth , even
ns a father the son In whom he dcllghtoth. "
"Tho nature of man is not changed by
civilization , " said Mr. Weed. "The passions
nnd motives which actuated humanity In tha
early ages , when Cain and Abel represented
the extreme types of worldllness and
spirituality , still rule In men's hearts. Up
the Erode of lime the struggle has gone on ,
and cvij has not lost Its foothold with the
progress of civilization. Clvlllzallon apart
from Christianity will not and cannot
change the heart of man.
"Tho development of n race Is like the
unfolding of n child's life , When men have
been bound by nn austere , puritanical rule
they have given away the more fully to
license when the bridle has been removed ,
Just as n child to whom Innocent pleasures
have been denied finally wanders farthest
from the path of. right. So , too , when all
impulses are given full sway before the will
haa learned their proper control there can
bo no symmetrical , perfect result ,
"Though the divine purpose may seem
cbscuie jfiii Its working unjust , Oed Is striv
ing to evolve mankind Into a destiny of
which w'e do not dream , mingling happiness
with sorrow , imposing no hardship too
crushing for frail humanity and giving tone
no life unmlngled sweetness without the
tempering admixture of bitterness. "

The auditorium of the Castellar Street
I'rcflbytcrlan church was well filled Sunday
morning to hear Rev. D H Stewart of
Arkansas City , Kan , Slnco the departure
of Rev. Wilson the pulpit has been filled by
the supply commlltce of the church and a
number of brilliant speakers have been en
tertained. It Is Intended to choose the one
from among those who is considered the most
popular and give him a call lo become per
manent pastor of the church.
Rev. Stewart spoke on the proofs we have
of ihc divinity of Christ , and that Christian
ity Is the true clan of salvation. Ho said
In part : "Thero are four proofs positive tint
put the stamp of the seal of divinity upon
Jesus Christ. Tbo first is the fulfillment
of prophesies. Every prophesy spoken of
Jesus Christ , ranging from 1,500 D. C. , until
the time of his birth , came true. If ono
single prophesy had come true It would
mean the dlvlnlly ot Christ was proven , but
when every ono of them came true the evi
dence was Indisputable. The second proof
Is the miracles performed by Christ. Ho
was born nn ordinary carpenter. His com
rades were iho working men of his profes
sion , and jet ho was high above them be
cause ho could perform miracles , because
ho could command natural laws to stand
aside , even the law of death. The third
proof of Christ's divinity was the elnlcce life
led by Christ. Not one sin had ever been
proven against him. Pilot said , 'I find no
fault with this man. ' The fourth proof was
the permanent triumph ot Christianity. Com
pare it with other religions. Christianity
began with a group of fishermen , and now
wo witness the triumph it has achieved. It
is not a triumph of power , oratory , or or-
ganlzalton , but n triumph of the spirit of
God.
God."These
"These proofs that Christ Is divine are also
proof of the truth of Christ's words and
of the cortalnty , surety nnd safety of the
Christian religion. "

The regular Sunday afternoon meeting
for men In the parlors of Ihe Young Men's
Christian association was especially Inter
esting and inspiring. Tha attendance was
exceptionally large. The addresses pre-
senled were along Iho Iheme. "The Most
Remarkabla Movement of the Century. "
This had reference to the work of the in
ternational committee of the association.
The wonderful accomplishments which It
had been able to bring nbout through the
careful direction of the members of the
committee were dilated upon and the mar
velous success which has greeted its efforts
toward the conversion of men furnished
reason for rejoicing. George M. Tlbbs , the
first speaker , addressed his remarks in a
general w y to the growth and develop
ment of the-Young-Men's Christian associa
tion and ga\o to the international com
mltteo its duo meed of praise. Dr. W. 0.
Henry's address was Of especial Interest ,
because of his description of Ihe work ac
complished by the association during the
late war. The establishment ot associations
in the southern camps resulted In the sav
ing of many souls and moreover furnished
for the soldiers the conveniences nnd ele
vating surroundings Incident to a well or
ganized society.
Secretary F. L. Willis told of the as
sistance which the international committee
had rcncleroj assoclatlonal work In In
stances with which ho was familiar. During
the hard time of 1893-4 the commltteo la
bored diligently to keep the work In progress
and especially in the south , where Mr. Willis
was then located , It did much toward its
perpetuation. Following these addresses a
collection amounting to $47 was raised -to
bo forwarded to tha International commlt
teo.

The subject of the sermon delivered by
Rov. Edwin Hart Jenks to a largo congre
gation at the First Presbyterian church Sun
day morning was , "Life and Immortality
Drought to Light. " The text was from John
14 : "Let not your heart be troubled. In
my father's house are many mansions. I go
to prepare a place for you. "
Drlefly , the thought of the sermon was that
belief In man's Immortality has run through
Ihe ages and Is well nigh universal. In the
boolt of Job , the oldest known writing , the
question of Hfo beyond the grave was an *
Bwered In the confident words : I know that
my redeemer llveth and that I shall , stand
with him In the last days. " Science and
learning have tried to solve the mystery
I of the future life , but are unable to pene-
trale to ultimate conclusions.
They nnd , however , lhat the curtain that
hides the future from human research la
fringed with gold fr-m the light beyond ,
Socrates , John Qulncy Adams and many
others have testified to a firm belief in Im- I
mortality. Neither the bowl of poison no.
old age could more than destroy the body.
They were still In the vigor of youth , though
Ihelr earlhly houses were crumbling. Re-1 i
wards are not meted out In Justice liero. A
house being prepared Is levealed In the gospel -
pel for our comforl and cncouiagemenl. The
veil that has hidden the future has been
rent In twain and immortality with Its hopes
and possibilities has been brought to view.

& ) . * * . * : "J
"It Is amusing , " said an old-time repub
lican jcetenlaj , "to listen to the denials and
excuses offered by some of the would-be re
publicans. No amount of denying will con
vince the people that the Patriotic league
combination did not do everjthlng In Its
povvor to elect at least a portion of the
fusion ticket. " Continuing fllong this line
the staunch republican said that politics In
South Omaha vvcro absolutely rotten , and
that a thorough weeding out was needed In
order to raise the standard BO that people
might ha\o some respect for party loaders.
"As It Is at present the combinations which
have dominated affairs here for some thno
have no standing among respectable citi
zens , and It Is tlmo that the republican pa'ty
looks around for men of worth who are will
ing to take the management of affairs and
nndeavor to rogaln what the party has lost
through being managed by traitors. " Fol
lowing In this strain the speaker said that
boodle dominated affairs to such an extent
In South Omaha that a really good man had
no show of being elected. Reform In Magic
City politics will never conio until there Is
A general cleaning out of those who are
known to be boodlors , and substantial busi
ness mem with good reputations arc given
control of affairs. In connection with rot
ten politics it Is understood that one prom
inent , minister of the gospel Is preparing to
have something to say on the boodle sub
ject. This worthy divine considers that the
use of money In South Omaha politics Is de
cidedly demoralizing and has reached a limit
where the practice Is almost unbearable.
Mention of this trait of local politicians will
most likely bo ruado In u sermon to bo de
livered shortly.
While talking about the recent election
yesterday a dcmociat who has a large fol
lowing hero said : "Tho democrats could
not have elected any of the local candidates
without the help of a certain faction of the
republicans. These republicans were , I un
derstand , disgruntled because they were not
able to secure for thcmsolves a largo sum
of money. A portion of the sum demanded
was represented to go to the Sun , the sup
posed organ of republicanism In this city ,
but In my opinion , those who made the de-
wand for the money Intended to shove It
down Into their JMUS , In case they were
fortunate- enough to get It. When turned
down by the republican central committee
the Sun and Its backers offered to sell out
to the democrats for $750 , or just half what
was asked of the republican managers. The
democratic central commltteo considered the
proposition for a time , but considered that
the Influence of the paper was not worth the
money and so negotiations ended. "
Continuing In this strain , the democrat
Kild that the republicans could undoubtedly
win a victory hero next spring if the graft
ers In the party were weeded out and their
places taken by gooJ men. The democrats ,
ho said , had profited by the split In the re
publican ranks. This alleged split was de
fined as being between the grafters and the
nntl-graftors. It appears from this that by
overthrowing the grafters and reorganizing
the republicans will have a show to do some
gocd work here next spring and during the
presidential campaign.

TALK UN PENSIONS BY SHAW
OommandeHn'Ohief of Grand Army Be

PENSION ROLL PUREST IN TH WORLD
I.nritciimbori : of Ani HcnUon Ire
I'uriitiHClj Dolnjcd In Allovtnnce
nnd Mnny WctHlij Cn o
Arc Rejected.
NEW YORK , Nov. 12. Alfred I ) . Shaw ,
comniandcr-ln-chlcf of the Grand Army ,
was tendered n reception In the Sevent-first
regiment armory Saturday night by the
twelve posts ot the city.
Commander Shaw spoke on the subject of
pensions , saving In part.
"Again and again I have declared my
belief that every needy nnd worthy veteran
of 'the great war' Is entitled to a pension
under the present laws , and It should bo
granted , vvlthoul vexing dela > s and
technicalities. Henceforth veterans should
demand equal and exact Justice un
der present enactments along the lines of
pensions. The war produced two classes , In
a sense , the creditor class , which loaned
money and goods to the nation , nnd the
bravo defenders , who loaned their bodies
and lives to save the union. One has been
amply and grandly paid In the full meas
ure of the gold values of the world , the
other has hardly been half paid , measured
by the same standard.
"After pence blessed the land with plenty
on every hand , the volunteer citizen soldiers
and sallora voted to save the credit of the
nation , in n bittlc of the ballots of unprece
dented bitterness nnd Importance , without
allowing any question of retribution or well
merited recompense to themselves to enter
Into the contest. Thcro can be no doubt
thai Ihe cry of 'pension frauds , ' 'pension
agent sharks , ' and the like that has been
brought down upon the veterans and pen
sioners of the union forces arc ns unde
served as they are cruel and even brutal In
n great number of cases. This organized
plan of defamation recalls the masked bat
teries of war days those who shot from the
rear the copperheads of that time. It his
been the cold blooded calculation of men
who have placed political expediency In the
place of justice , for partisan and selflsh
ends.
"Under President Cleveland this 'cry1
against 'pension frauds , ' to which I have
referred reached Its climax. After the ex
penditure ot nearly $1,000,000 appropriated
by congress and spent In an Investigation , it
was proved conclusively that the pension
roll was the purest roll In the world.
AinillcntlniiN I'urpoficly Dcln > vd.
"There has never been a period where a
deeper feeling of unrest and dlssatlsfacllon
exlsttd than at the present time on these
questions. It Is believed that the large
numbers of applications for pensions are
purposely delayed In allowance nnd even
many worthy cases are rejected , even
though the claim is established ae a Just
one , to keep down pension expenditures , re
gardless of the clear intent of the laws
pissed by a grateful people , for the benefit
of deserving veterans , whose allowances are
not what the examining board recommends.
They are nearly always 'pared down. ' My
evidence on this point seems Incontrovertl-
jle. A soldier's widow should not be per-
mlllcd to suffer In this land of plenty and
we stoutly Insist that rule 225 bo abrogated
and rule 1C4 bo re-established. What Is
needed Is to have the pension laws en
forced in their plain constructive Intent ,
without any attempt to limit expenditures
ilatnly authorized In their enactment ana
et nil financial responsibility therefor rest
on congress , where It properly belongs.
"Alas , " how keen many are In their wlll-
ngnefB to sneer at the veteran and criticise
the pension roll. There are blots on It , no
doubt , but the hue and cry about 'bummers
and frauds' are sad reading to old veterans ,
who know all the facts about the moral
wrecks and wounds of the service. Keep
up such an unfair 'cry' against frauds In
our churches as some newspapers are dong -
ng about the pension question and the
churches would soon feel the hard heel 01
alighting and cruel denunciations and the
same would bo true with respect to lawyers
and physicians.
"In the financial poverty , comparatively
speaking , of our country. In the last diys
of the surviving veterans of the revolution ,
all were granted pensions , why should not
everj needy or deserving veteran of the war
hat saved the government of our fathers
from overthrow In Its unsurpassed period of
national wealth , be promptly granted a pen
sion ?
"I have no doubt our present pension laws
are not being executed In the liberal and
U6t spirit in which they were passed and
.his cuts to my heart like a personal pain.
The time has come when impartial justice
must prevail In the execution of these laws.
All needy and worthy volunteers should be
jensloned and the ofllclal who falls to carry
: hlB out Is doing a wrong of almost un-
lardonablo beartlessness considered In the
Ight of suffering veterans , whoso bounty is
thus kept from thorn In their old ago by
unworthy men charged with the honorable
execution of the laws. "
