Rev. Edward Trcfz , pastor of Kountz
-Memorial church , preached yesterday morn
Ing -on "Perils and Safeguards to
the Nation : A Thankfgiving study o
the Upward March of the Repub
He. " He took for his text AcU xvll , 14. HI :
topic covered a wide range of thought. Hi
reviewed the origin of Thanksgiving day
showing why the Pilgrim Fathers had rca
son to bo thankful. He said this Is a worU
of discontent , nnd that but for the dlscon-
tent there would he no civilization ; mer
want to move ; they rtre ever looking foi
something new , some change from preacni
conditions. This restless spirit , said tin
speaker , was responsible for thc war ot th (
revolution and the liberty of the American
republic. People were not content to bc sub-
Jpct to n foreign ruler and they rebelled.
' ' 'The man who earns a dollar a dny In
this ng has more freedom and moro oppor
tunities for advancement than the rich man
had 100 years ago , " the speaker declared ,
"Wo talk of the good old days , " he con
tinued , "but we forget the advantages ol
today. The harvests have become so great
that no statistician can keep account , nnd
the skill of the mechanical Inventor has beer
brought Into use to provide machinery foi
gathering the harvest , "
At great length the speaker contrasted tbe
present ago with conditions existing a cen
tury ago , the general trend of his discourse
going to show that thc world la highly pro
gressive. The restless American spirit Mr.
Tretz looked upon as one ot the safeguards
ot the nation.
Touching upon the many perils of the
nation Jho speaker Incidentally gave Con-
gre.'smnn Roberts ot Utah a scoring , His
remarks were not directed ngalnst the man
as nn Individual , but the belief for which ho
stands. The seating of the Utah congress
man hn regards as one of thc perllf.
In the aggregate Rev. Trefz expressed the
belief thai the American people have much
to be thankful for.

Th mi n Future Condition.
Rev. J. L. MaiBh , a vlaltlng clergyman
from Lincoln , filled the pulpit at Unity
church .Sunday morning in the absence of
Rev. Mann. Mr. Marsh endeavored to dispel
the I do * that heaven was n thing afar off
only to bo reached through the grave and
beyond the clouds. "The kingdom of
heaven , " bo eald , quoting the words of
Christ , "Is like- the leaven which a woman
hid In threc measures of meal. " It IB the
journey rather than the destination , the
process rather than the ultimate result.
"To Jccus , God wns for the living rather
than fcr the dead. " said Mr. Marsh. "He was
nol conceived by Christ as a great Person
seated on a supreme throne , but His mani
festation appeared in the growth of plants ,
In the revolution ot thc planets. Christ's
the comprehension of
teaching was beyond
his followers , who could not believe that the
Holy Spirit permeated commonplace things
and force ? . So , when Ho said that tbo man
who 'loved God nnd his neighbor was near
to the kingdom and that to the woman who
loved much many things would be forgiven
they scoffed and asked for a sign from the
" ' ' *
"h'efwe'ns :
"Even- nineteenth century Christians can
not rid themselves of these old forms of
thought nnd many still look upon heaven
na a locality where they are pome time to
go. Wu arc only now coming to see God
embodied In nature , not separate from it actIng -
Ing from th0 outside , and to realize that
If we e-annot find Him hidden In the glory
of His worlwo can never see Him at all.
"Many ChrlstKr.s rely upon the scrip
tures ns an unmixed Divine revelation , but
they , like other human works , contain the
drcsa of human Ignorance nnd prejudice.
Hlotory Will show that tbo church , too , is
not Infallible. The seeker for the truth
must simply accept those things which ho
knows to b0 truest and noblest In life nnd
follow them in his own conduct. If It ia
apparent to him that love , honesty and
purity are Godlike attributes , let him accept
them and ho will be surprised to find how
far they will carry him toward tbe final
truth. "

"Fraternal Societies" wns the topic of dis
cussion at a well attended meeting of the
Omabn Philosophical poclety , held in the
nubile library building Sunday afternoon.
The lodge was compared to the church end
whll thcro was no Inclination on the part
of any of the speakers to cast doubt upon
the good work of the churches It was sug
gested that for common , everyday , practical
religion , that is , unselfish devotion to fellow
mnn , there Is an abundance of it In the
lodges.
The principal nddrcto wns made by rt , R.
Rathbiin , after which there were numerous
Impromptu speeches limited to ten minutes ,
On the blackboard was this Inscription :
"Thn subject today Is Fraternal Societies.
Opening talk by G. R. Rathbun. There
after frco pitch in for all present In ten-
cnlnuta denes. "
The announcement on the blackboard was
ccrrlcd' out faithfully , for It wns a "frco
pitch In" and everybody who wanted to tnlk
had the opportunity.
Mr. Rathbun related the etory of a miller
who belonged to a lodge nnd was nlso n
"deacon In the church. An nccldent befell
him ono day and ho was uuublo to work
for nix months. During that tlmo the church
ivcmberti prayed for his recovery nod that
Ills family might not want for food on ac
count ° t his inability to work. Whllo the
church people prayed the Injured rann'B
brothers In the lodge paid him a sick ben

saw that ho had the bc l of medical atten
tion and advanced money as needed for
household expenses. After the man recov
ered nnd went back to work the cbursh

President \V. 1' . Aylesworth of Cotnc
university addressed the congregation c
the First Christian church Sunday mornlnt
The conversion of Paul , As the result c
Christ's vision , nnd bis subsequent mlnlstr
furnished the topic for his address. Fret
Aete xxvl the speaker read of Paul's dc
fenso before Agrlppa and selected bis lex
from the nlnetf nth vereo : "Whereupon , (
King Agrlppa , I was not disobedient to th
heavenly vision. " He spoke of Saul's con
ncctlon wltb the early movement of Chris
tlanlty nnd of his persecution of the carl ;
dlsclplcn , Then came the vision frbm th
Lard Jesus Christ. From that tltno Pan
became a zealous advocate of Chrlellanlt ;
and a leader among the- followers of tl )
Lord Jesus Christ.
"Would that the Christians of today,1
said Dr. Aylcsworth , "could witness sucl
a vision as that made to Paul , The follower
of Chrlet In this day do not appreciate tin
Immensity of Ills cause. They talk of Him m
lilppantly os they speak of n poodle dog
it's a habit. When Christ spoke to Paul It
the vision nnd said , 'Saul , Saul , why per 2
cutest thou MeV Paul thereupon realized hi ;
direct responsibility to the Master. Thi
Christian of today should feel this dlreci
responsibility to Christ rather than permit
ling responsibility to the church and thi
preacher to take the lead. Without refer ,
once to organization or to the church w <
should feel our responsibility to Chrlsl
direct , and ask of him uncea'lngly , 'Whai
Will thou have mo to do ? '
"There are three principal thoughts to h <
Jertved from this Icrson ot Paul's conver
sion. First , the feeling of the reality o :
the preoenco of God ; second , the feeling o :
ilrect responsibility to Christ nnd , third
the feeling of divine fellowship with humar
ufferlng. Where the Savior found those wh (
tUffercd he suffered likewise and where
here was persecution of His people like vlsi
Ho was persecuted. "
The speaker said that the vision whlcr
marked the turning ; point In Paul's llf (
vas not confined alone to the early centuries ;
visions are possible today , nnd , bo con
tinued : "As our visions are so our characlei
will be. I do not mean dreams , but rea
lay visions. For the Individual there li
the vision which looks forward to strongei
nanhood and higher principles of life. Hnn
necessary It Is that man should make at
jffort to live according to that vision ,
Thought , deep , earnest thought , precedes nil
ictlon and action accomplishes but little
without thought. The beauty and greatness
) t the earth followed God's thought In tlu
Beginning. The young man or young woman
ivhoao thought Is concentrated on the ball-
-oorn or thd billiard table will never arise
ibove the dude. Only the man and woman
seolng n vision of higher life will arise to
nagnlflcent manhood and beautiful woman-
lood. God has said that only those who
lunger- and thirst for righteousness shall
3e filled. For that which we long to have
vc will starve and If It be right God sayc
vo shall be filled. "

FlrHt t'onflrrCKntlunnl Church.
The second lecture In the series , "Some
\nclent Reformers and Modern Disturbers , "
vas delivered Sunday night at the First
2onKrogatlonal church by thep pastor , Dr.
ierrlng. The subject wna "Martin Luther ,
ho Prince of Reformers. " The speaker
mcccedod In giving a graphic picture of the
Ifo of this sturdy preacher and concisely
md comprehensively reviewed his work of
ar-reachlng scope.
He prefaced with n resume of thechar -
icterlstlcs of German nationality , ahowtn'g
he home-loving and country-loving sldo and
ixtolllng the courageous behavior and stu-
ilous habits ; he spoke of their capacity to
nko life seriously confronting tbe problems
if the world with never-lagging zest , nor
illowlng them to pall or grow stale. What
vas eald of the Germans as a nation might
vlth propriety bo said of Luther , for ho
vaa a Gorman of the Germans. His great
lold of the people of his country was for
hat reason ho was hone of Ihelr bone nnd
leah of their flesh. His Influence was re-
nrded outside of hl own country for some
Ime because other nations did not under-
land him.
Luther came Into the world at the crucial
noment at the- turning point In history ;
t the time when America was discovered
urlng the revival of letters and the dls-
every of printing and at the birth of
cmocracy , as well as at tbe Inception of a
ellglous llbery hitherto unknown ,
Luther was'eminently fitted for his work
-ho woo the outgrowth of the times and
vas the onp man fitted to mouth the re-
orms which had been ripening for cen-
urlefi , Tlieso reforms bad at. first shown
i lttlo | In Savonarola , again In Wycllffe
md others , but Luther was the , culmlna-
lon and bo stands high above "all as tbo
prlnco of reformers.
The speaker held that three character-
Btlra unmistakably protruded themselves In
he work of Luther , The flrst was free-
loni freedom from all man-fearing , from
irlest and pope and gave to the world the
dca that thcro was no Intermediary lie-
ween the soul and Us God.
The second characteristic was rlghtcoun-
1CJ1 , tbe old cry of Savonarola , and the
bird was humanity. He brought religion
own where the people could see Its every-
aynoJB ho humanize * ! It.
Although a treat reformer , ho had his
Imitations and his weaknesses like all hu
man beings. The speaker was far from
placing the prince upon a pedestal for wor-
hlp , but Instead showed him to be a man
f strong purposes , a man like his fellowmen
round htm , human and yet withal tin-
worvlng In bin sense of duty and uncoin.

The pastor of the church , flev. Clyde C.

he different conception races and Individuals
ave had of God , and he pointed out the
dvancomcnt In this conception that has
ieen made from one generation to another.
It said , In part :
"All men have tome thought of Clod. Kver
Ince tbe world began people have wor-
tilprd God In > ome form or other. At lira'
here wen- two gods , All the good and ban-
resulted from one god and the other
responilble for the evil and tor row
\ Offerings were made both gods , To the gc
of good from a desire to worship and to th
Ked of evil from n desire to propitiate. Tl ;

I The bible dors not even take up what Go

i he said , God la love. That Is the conceptlo
we now hold. It Is much better than th
old conception that God was an awful Go
j of poker , but It Is undoubted that the futui
j generations will have a still better conceji

"The march of our Ideas can he easily see
' by comparing tbe pictures of Qnd as palntc

n stern face of a ( Jed of power , and In th

"Talking About. Your Neighbors" was th
topic of ono of a eerlrs of lectures which Hev

church , the general subject being "Thing
Omaha People Should Quit Doing Befor

because the Intfcr make war In the open
while the talebearers strlko at n man' ;

"Those who ll&ten are equally as guilty n !

to bc a Jesuit and critics found fault will

persons who murder character to kill time
ar * not nil women. Merchants have been
scsslped Into bankruptcy by unthinking
tongues. The only remedy for unlicensed
speech Is the love of Christ which fills men
with n love for their fellows and n desire to
deal , mercifully with their shortcomings. "

Invocation refcronce wns made to the fnci
that those present were gathered to prolcsi
against the Iniquities abroad in the land nm
to .IFQ If Christian Influence nnd Christine
effort could not overthrow them.
Rev. Hubert C. Herring of thc First Con
gregational church stated the object of thc
meeting. He said that the people are nol
sufllclcntly often subject to manifestations
of Indignation and arc apt to view to calmly
many events transpiring around them. BrU-
ham H , Roberts , against thc seating < il
whom In congress the meeting was called to
protest , Is a self-confessed , notorious polyg-
atnU't. He had been convicted as nuch In
1889 and had had to pay a penalty Imposed.
Ho has boon living n vicious life according
to the laws of God , whatever he may think
of It himself.
AVIuit ScatlitK Htm Will Moan.
When ho was up for election It was can
vassed and thoroughly understood In Utah
that If congress would permit him to cc-
cupy n seat within Its ranks then the whole
ccsnpnct between the Mormon people and
the government In relation to the- extinc
tion of polygamy would be broken. Ex
tracts from the published controversy be
tween Governor Wells cf Utah and Robjrts
prior to his election were read nnd the
speaker declared that underlying the writ
ten words was an understanding on the part
of both Roberts nnd the govemor that If
the people will permit Roberts to bold h's
seat In congress they will permit the con
tinuance of polygamous relations. The
speaker referred to the act of congress ad
mitting Utah an a state upon the promises
then made as "diabolical , " and said the
Mormons now claim that the promises are
void because obtained hy coercion or given
under duress. Unless the people become
moro watchful nnd less gujllblo It will not
lie long before the Mormons will have a
perfect check upon every movement of gov-
jrnmcnt for the banishment of polygamy.
! Io considered it the duty of moral and
Christian people to let their congressmen
rtnow their wishes In this matter In a tone
.hat will permit of no misinterpretation.
J. M. Glllan said ho took It that not a per
son in the room would favor thc seating
> f Roberts. Ho had heard two arguments
n favor of such action One wao that Rob-
: rts Is satisfactory to jt'be people of Utah
md that It is not the duty of other states
, o look after his moral character. This
irguracnt may be more or less good so long
13 ho remains In Utah , but the moment ho
jecomes n member of congreso he represents
jvery other state In the union and every
sltlzcn of every -state. The time has como
ivhen the people should see that they have
is their representatives not only able men ,
jut men of good moral character. People of
his country have been losing sight of the
run worth of good mral character.
The other argument was equally bad. Ho
vas Informed that a member of the Omaha
iVomnn's club had been beard advancing It.
: t woo that senators and congressmen could
vlth doubtful propriety unseat Roberts , bo-
: ausa they themselves were not above re-
> roach. The argument was not good. Here
vas a specific case of violation of the laws
> I God and man and every effort ought to
) o put forth to punish It. The growth of
ho Mormon church In recent years , even
lutHldit of Utah , has been remarkable , moro
ban that of any two or three denomlnn-
lond. They are proselyting everywhere. It
s considered the duty of every Mormon
o devote a conslderablo portion of his life
o proselyting. The seating of Roberts
vould uplift their cause.
Mciinee of Mornionlmti Siircnil.
Mr. A. T. Schroder , a lawyer from Silt
yako , made the chief address of the mect'ns.
lo said people generally do not realize tha
nenacc of Mormonlsm , and pointed out its
trcngth not only lu Utah , but In Idaho , No-
nda , Wyoming , Colorado , Arizona and New
ilexlco. Last year It boasted that Its mla-
ilonarlca had converted and baptized 65,000
icople. This year the figures have not been
lubllsbed because It was feared that they
vould create alarm outside of Mormon clr-
: lcs. In proselyting the m'.aslonarlcs ' do
lot teach polygamy nnd many of the more
adlcal doctrines of Mormonlsra , being In
truded to promulgate only first principles ,
lellance Is placed upon Instilling those dos-
rlnes nfier conversion.
Mr. Schroeder said that ho was a mein-
> er of the democratic convention that nomi
nated Roberts for congress. The nomlna-
lon was opposed by every gentile in the
onvention , and when the vote was taken to
mnko it unanimous I hey made themselves
ioard. It was tha speaker's deliberate coa-
Ictlon that the nomination was a challenge
upon the part of the Mormons to the Amerl-
an people , made In pursuance of tholr
hrent to cram down the throat of congress
to anti-polygamy enactment. He referred
o the Indira pursued for many years dur-
ng the early history of Mormonlsm to hide
ho practice of polygamy , which deceptions
voro justified by the Mormons when their
lolygamoufl practices finally became known

Referring to the claim of Roberts that It
vas not tbo intention of congress to sever
clatlons contracted prior to the act of ton-
ress , but merely to prevent further polyga-
IOUB mnrrlages , Mr. Sehroodcr said that tha
lormon people dd | promise that unlawful
ohabltatlon should cease , PS well as plural
marriages. In a case in court In that state
evcral of the leading men of the church had
estlftcd that the manifesto of the church ,
ontalnlng the promise of the Mormon peo-
ile upon which congress relied , infant that
hero should bo no unlawful cohabitation.
The territorial legislature had enacted a
meuaure prohibiting unlawful cohabitation ,
which the constitutional convention had
ucognlzed , and In qualifying as an elector
loberts had himself once declared undar
ath bit intent to obey the law , not only
against unlawful marriages , but against un
lawful cohabitation. It waa not the speaker *
belief that the Mormons e-ver Intended to re
nouuce either unlawful marriage or unlaw
ful cohabitation. One ofthe fundamcnta
teachings of the church It that no woman ca :
over enter henven unices she has been scale
for eternity to some man , nnd the glory o
man's hereafter is regulated by the numbc
of women lip had had scaled to him o ;
earth. That being their faith , ho could no
sco how they can ever finally rcnounc
polygamy. It Is not likely they will eve
give up the practice , voluntarily or other
wise , without entertaining the hope ot It
revival or secret prosecution.

FRANKFORT , Ky , , Nov. 26. A quiet Sun-
lay brought n lull in the political situation
o all outward appearances. There were no
Ignlflcant developments from Gocbel head-
iimrters , though Goebcl and his managers
emalned In cnfcrence during the day. There
3 a general Impression outsldo that fiome 1m-
lortnnt move Is to be made by the Goebel
Ido early this week and It Is generally sup-
iosed that a mandatory Injunction suit to
irovent the state election board from count-
og the vote from Jefferson , Knox and John-
on counties will bo part of It , though this
B not confirmed by any one in authority.
It IB doubtful if Governor Bradley would
ecognlzo Gcebcl as governor if given a
ertlflcato of election by the etato election
oard , unless its action was in obodlence
a a ruling of the court. In that event It la
elleved bo would resist no further , but
, -ould advise Taylor to contest before the
jglslature. Neither Bradley , Taylor , nor
ny of the republican leaders , however , he-
levo that the court of appeals , In the face
f its decision in the Nelson county cane
osterday , will grant an Injunction nnd nre
aday moro confident than ever that the state
lection board will give Taylor a certificate
f election. In Taylor circles It Is claimed
hat two of the throe state commlssloncra ,
: ills and Pry or , are sure to vote to eland
y the vote in every county ns it appears on
ho face of the returns.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 2G. Some Interest
wns created In official circles today , par
ticularly among nnvnl officials , by thc pub
lication of the results of what purported to
bo a Eccrot Investigation regarding thc de
struction of the battleship Maine In Havana
barber , which the atory said wns blown tip
by guncotton torpedoes planted In the bay
for that purpose. Diligent inquiry , however ,
falls to show that any official investigation
has been made at the direction of the nu-
thorltiea here , although It Is suggested that
the "ofllcials at Havana have discretionary
powers to make any Investigation should
they see fit , and that It Is Just barely posslblo
that as a result of such action some ad
ditional information bearing on tbe subject
has been secured.
Captain Luclcu Young is the port officer at
Havana and it is possible , said ono official
today , that he may have dug up the information
mation printed today.
Secretary Long of the navy was very much
Interested in the story and said he bad no
