5 WHY SOME DESPISE CHURCH Eer. Batch Foints Out Failures Scored bj Church People. .CROWDS NO MEASURE OF SPIRITUALITY are Church ghnwld Have nf Closer Hm I. If ana Shut Oat Xeresalty for Secret societies. At Plymouth Congregational church Sun day morning tha pastor, Rev. F. A. Match, preached on the aubject, "Deaplalng tit Church." Ha spoke of varloua agenolea which tend to bflng the modern church Into dleeeteera with tha general public, mentioning among other thlnga "cut rata devotion," tha baaara, tha falra, "tha rem aant and mill-end tales, tha exclusive etylea in theology." "Many of ua ask why tha church la not made tha beneficiary of tome of these munificent bequests that our mllllonalreg are giving to colleges, hospital a and pub lie libraries," tald he, "and In reply I can aay that, eicept to get our missionary so cieties out of debt, It'a good thing tha churches don't get tbem. Churches abould be run on buslneaa principles, but there la a point at which thla abould atop; there Is a point at which tba church ahould divorce Itself from affairs. Tha tendency la already too general to regard the church aa a concern rather than a redeemed, blood waahed assembly. "We dlseateem the church when we make It a preaching, oratorical aoclety Instead of an Institution to hold forth tha lamp of truth. We dlseateem the church when we estimate Ita atrength by the crowds It attracta. Crowda are no measure of aplrltual power. There were only ten In the congregation Jeaua addressed, but among them waa John tha tfvangellst, Mary Madgalene and Peter the aepctle. We dls eateem the church when we permit lta substitutesthe lodge and the secret ao clety to coma In and usurp our attention. If the church had been wise a few genera tions ago It would have taken atepa that would have made the lodge unneceaiary, by getting closer Into the, home life and meeting the material needa of the people aa the lodge la doing today. It remains for the church to lift up Ita music above the noise that men are making, and then ita Influence will be felt. It remalna for Ita children to live auch Uvea that the people round about ua will be obliged to aay, 'See how those people love ode an other.' " . TEIIM ATHEIST III MISNOMEH. So Declares Rev. Marsh of Lincoln at I'ntty Church. "The atheism that quarrels with a man's thought of deity but not with his aspira tion for deity Is not the real athelem. The real atheism finds no Ood, no goodness, no persistency In the world and who la auch an atheist?" demanded Rev. J. L. Marsh of Lincoln at Unity church yrater day morning. Rev. Marsh is paetor of I'nlty church In the capital city and ex changed pulpits for the day with Rev. Newton Mann, who la there attending a meeting of Nebraaka clergymen in tha la teresta of religious education. Continuing, Rav. Marsh aald: "The term athelat seems to be paailng out of use; at least It la much less seen and heard than formerly, perbapa because that modern aclence which has removed tha limits of human power haa removed atso the' limit of the unknown. Thli word ' theism aa ueed by Mr. Huxley la sig nificant of a realm with which man may not have knowledge, but which la open to his belief. There are few men who do not believe more than they know. Science plana to pass from the known to the unknown and haa to assume Soma thlnga aa known. Edlaon and Marconi could ahow tie tbousanda of electrical ac complishments we do not dream of. but when asked what electricity la they have to confess their Ignorance. Th?y asaume Ita existence. "And so, as aclence assumes or Infers a physical force and energy In the world and In man. ao religion assumes a moral forcj. and energy. Tbla la tba very hypothesis of religion. "Mark who have been called athela'a! Socrates, Jeaua of Nazareth, the early Christiana, Martin Luther, Galileo, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Frank If n and. In our time, Theodore Parker. But In the long role are some who Insisted only on rejecting some of the old thoughta of Ood. and It la true that evolution has brought ua a knowledge that makes tha old thought of Ood unsuitable. Yet If He haa been taken from the chl'd.sh throne of Heaven Ha baa been re-enthroned In the force of the world. What God la. wa may not know; that Ha la, we cannot doubt. Unbelief la not ao prevalent or damaging aa It la thought to be, and the term athe ist wa find a misnomer." SATS THIS IS WORLD FOH WORK Rev. Mssell Dellvara Challenge t Idlers of Today. "He who would auccead tnuat Sweat with his aoul aa well aa hla hands." said tha Rev, Clyde Clay Clsaell In kla sermon at Hanacom Park Methodist church yesterday morning. Ha took for hla thame.

('onley Sara Crucifixion Left Powerfal Emblem. "Tha gospel without the cross la like a body without a heart," said Rev. J. W. Con ley at the First Baptist church yesterday morning In bis sermon on "The Drawing Power of the Crose," based on the text, "And If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men toward me." "Bach century alnca the crose of Calvary haa added to the power of Jeaua over the hearta of men and that power la In the cross. The cross promises happiness and advantages to man and every one la en deavoring to attain happiness or that which will prove advantageoua to him. Thla la not a eelfUh motive, either, for the first law of nature la self-preservation, and it la every man'a duty to aeek those thlnga which are advantageoua. Nothing offers ao much hap- plnesa aa the cross, for wa are brought In contact with tha Divine through the cross and through It we get deliverance. Tha cross brings peace to suffering humanity and though men may make light of the Divine sacrifice no one can overthrow the doctrine of the heart. We love the beauti ful In art. In nature. In aculptura and in everything. Vaat amounta of money are apent and ahould ba apent for paintings In order to Inspire a genlua that can produce the beautiful. But there can be nothing more beautiful than tha croaa, which until Chriat died upon It waa rapulatve. Men have garlanded It and Jeaua haa made It beautiful by Ilia beautiful character, and every year aa wa become better acquainted with Jesus we are mora lmpressedby Its beauty and are drawn closer to It."

Faraans etraeU HAXSA ON LABOR QUESTION 8a vi Industrial Peace ii Necessary to Make Valuable Combined Capital. DEPLORES SOCIALISM AS UNAMERICAN Ohio Senator and President Gompere Ably Dlscnsa Industrial Concilia tion, Arbitration and Their Possibilities. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. April '.Senator Hanna waa the principal speaker last night t the closing aeesiOn of the sixth annual meeting of the American Academy of Po litical and Social Science. He divided his subject with Samuel Oompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and the question of the relation of capital and labor waa ably discussed by the two ap.ak- era. Senator Hanna'a topic waa: "Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration," and Mr. Oompers spoke on "Ita Possibilities and Limitations." Senator Hanna began his address by re ferring to the efforts of the National Civic Federation, to effect a condition of Indus trial peace. The industrial department of the Civic Federation, be aald, had settled seven atrlkea In two months, and prevented other atrlkea which have rendered Idle more than 200.000. Senator Hanna stated that he had first become tntereated In the question of the amicable adjustment of difficulties between employe and employer during tha Ohio coal atrike In 1876. At that time, he aald, an agreement waa en tered into between the employera 'asso- latlon and the miners to meet each other and use every endeavor to arbitrate be fore using drastic measures. Consequently there has been no other strikes of prom inence In that region. Mast Have Industrial Peace. "The prominence growing out of the vast productive capacity In this country," aald Senator Hanna, "haa forced the condition of the aggregation of capital; the creation of wealth In concrete form. To absorb It and to render It valuable as an Indus trial investment, we must have Industrial peace. The Civic Federation la beginning to lay the foundation of such a result." Owing to many nationalities represented among the laboring data, the speaker said. the work of the civic federation must ba principally educational. "Thla question," he continued, "rests In the people's hands. If we have not the sympathy of the people we cannot hope to ucceed. My experience of thirty yeara as an employer has taught me that the em ployer la expected to go more than half way in meeting the employe. We are re sponsible to provide work and to see that the men ahall receive a fair share of the benefits. I believe in organized labor, and it la a demonstrated fact that labor condi tions are benefited when entrusted to an honest leader. Organized labor ia a condi tion that muet be met." Hanna Denounces Socialism. Senator Hanua denounced socialism aa Inimical to aoclety and to Industrial de velopment. Soolalistic ideas, he aald, are 'un-American and unnatural to ua aa a people." President Gompers' remarka referred chiefly to the queatlon of atrlkea and lock outs. Much aa a strike ef laboring men ia to be deplored, he aald, auch action by the wage earner ia the highest civilized ex pression of discontent among workmen. A atrike la a protest against wrong and injustice when there la no other way of aecurlng redreas. Every means within the power of every man, capitalist or neutral." aald tne epeaker, "ahould be exerted to avert strikes, yet there are aome things worae than atrlkea, among them a degraded, de based or demoralized manhood. No matter what may be the result of a atrike, it the workmen'a organization is maintained an economic point baa been gained or a social defeat prevented." Mr. Gompers expressed opposition to com pulsory arbitration aa being valueless. He said the civic federation waa endeavoring to bring about commercial and Industrial aucceas without friction. ELECTION PERIOD IN FRANCE Campalcn on In Earnest Between Min isterialists and Allledd Faetlons. PARIS, April 6. Franco haa entered Into the throes of an election period. Imme diately on the closing of the aeaalon Satur day tha members of the Chambera left Paris foe their varloua constituencies, and already are engaged In canvaaslng and making addresses to the electors. Thursday waa the Brat day for the decla rations of candidacy at the varloua pre fecturea and up to yesterday no fewer than 1,000 candidates had preaented themselves. There are 179 candidatea for the forty-six placea In Parla and the department of tha Beine. Every wall apace seems to be cov ered with colored electoral posters. The custom which haa hitherto obtained of amothertng the national monumenta under a hideous coating of election literature haa been prohibited. An original note haa been atrurk by the Womaa'a Suffrage league, which laaued pink Illuminated placard, representing man atandlng beside the polling place politely bowing to a woman, asking her to vote first. An appeal Issued by the writer Haberttne Auclert, and other advocatea of woman's rights, ia being circulated. M Auclert, in a published Interview, saya that Franoe ere long will have to follow the ex ample of America, In several statea of which women have equal political righta with men. Both Sides Are Confident. The ministerialists express confidence that tbey will be victorious In the elections. M. Baudin, minister of public works; M Leygues, minlrter of public Instructicn and worship, and M. Delaoeasan, minister of marine, appear to ba tha only members of the cabinet whose positions aeem Insecure. M. Waldeck-Roaseau, the premier, will re main In Parla, from which point he can engineer the whole ministerial campaign He can exert through the prefects, telling influence in aid of the governmental candl dates. It cannot be aald that the life of the re public la at ataka In the present election which will be a atruggle between the min laterlalista, and the adveraarlea of th government, mostly composed of national tats, moderate republican!, under M Mallne. and uncompromising socialists who oppose tha co-operation of M. Mt:ier and, the miniater of commerce with th ministry. Tha nationaliata have begun a spirited campaign and are actively "stumping" the country. Tbelr leading spirit, tha writer Jules Lemaltrek, ia very aanguina, pre dieting a majority for hla party. The chief plank in tha revisionists pro gram la a change In tha method of elect tog tha president. He advocatea the alec tlon of tha chief magistrate by a system similar to that of tba I'nlted Statea.

RHODES TAXES MAN'S WIT Remarkable Will Requires Conditions Hard of Fulfilment. UNITED STATES STUDENTS FOR OXFORD Belief that Carneale, Rockefeller or Moraan Will Respond to This Offer by Inviting; Britons to Vaakeelaad. . (Copyright, 1902. by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON. April . (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) Cecil Rhodea' will la regarded aa one of the most remark able documents ever published. It disposes of $30,000,000, but it la ex pected that the estate. If real lied under favorable conditions, may aggregate $5,000. 000 more. The Impression la general that the educational bequests, though Inspired by the loftiest publlo spirit, are so vision ary and Impracticable that they must place a premium on prlgglshnesa. It being beyond the wit of man to devise a acheme under which possession of moral characteristics and aptitude for public work can be divined In an embryonic atate. The Indurementa offered the United States to eend promising students to Oxford, two three-year scholarships of $1,600 a year each being provided for each of the pres ent statea and territories, la regarded aa the most admirable feature of the will. It la believed here that Carnegie, Rock efeller or J. P. Morgan will respond to thla advance by offering similar Inducements to British students to complete their educa tion In American universities.

Odd Conditions Attached. The Dalham bequest la aurrounded by odd condltlona. The teatator declares: "It is the esseuce of a proper life that every man abould have aome definite occupation during some substantial period thereof and I object to an expectant heir developing Into what I call a loafer, and whereaa tha rental from tho Dalham estate la not more than sufficient for the maintenance of the eatate. and my experience la that one of the thinga making for the atrength of Eng lish ia the ownership of country estates which could maintain the dignity and com fort of the head of a family, but that thla position haa ruined by the practice of creating chargea upon estatea for younger children or the payment of debta, and whereaa I humbly believe one of the aecreta of England'a atrength haa been the exlatence of country landlords who devote their efforts to the maintenance of theae on their own property;" therefore he pro vides abaolutely againat any Incumbrance on the Dalham estate by dispossessing any tenant for life who makea auch Incum brance, and h provldea that no male heir shall be entitled to become a tenant for life who haa not followed aome profession or business for ten yeara and also been a member of a mllltla or volunteer corpa. It la pointed out that in English law It la not possible to Impose restrictions In perpetuity on freehold property, aa the will proposes to do, and that the first male heir whom It le Bought to dispossess for non performance of the foregoing condltlona can get thoae provisions set aalde. In fact, the whole tenor of the will la ao vague and Idealistic that It may easily lead to a apleudtd crop of litigation. Mr. Rhodes made handaome provisions in money for bla relatives during life.

HOLD TO GOOD SECURITIES Unexpected Strength of Earnings Makes Railroad Stocks Strong, INDUSTRIALS ARE THE WEAK POINTS Rumors of Mismanagement Cause In- easiness General Business Good, High Wanes Promoting; Consumption. NEW YORK, April 6.-(8neclaI.)-Henrv Clews, head of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co., reviewing the situation on Wall street, says: The financial situation la sound and gen erally satisfactory. Desirable Investments are In very good demand and exceedingly scarce, even at present high level. Hence nrst-ciass railroad securities are held with tenacious firmness, which seems to grow with the continued and wholly unexpect edly favorable railroad earnings. The most sanguine expectations in this respect have been far surpassed, and conservatives are often afraid to express their convictions. ine real reason or railroad prosperity, however, Ilea not so much in the Increase In the volume of traffic aa In the better rates now obtained. In not a few Instances the volume of traffic Is not equal to last year, but high and well maintained rates explain current railroad profits. The great value of the community of interest Idea and Ita control of the rate situation ia now being Illustrated. It has more to do with the present high values of railroad shares tnan any other single Influence, and so It la easy to understand the sensitiveness of the market to any legislative attacks that would alter these conditions. There Is no doubt much concern in railroad circles over the aggressive and antagonistic attitude of the administration toward railroad inter ests and the outcome of recently begun fiaoceeaings win oe watcnea witn intense nterest. The publio want stability of rates above all else; they also want reasonable rates, and If legislation Is confined to these two limitations no danger Is anticipated. But the public also wants comnetition In rates, something entirely Incompatible with stability and equality of rates. Between tnese connicting demands tne legislature must stand and decide which Is best for all concerned; not forgetting that the many tnousanas or stocanoiners and tnose de pendent upon them have rights as well aa excitable, easy-talking shippers who dis regard every interest but their own. The most questionable point in the stock market in among the Industrials. During the last few montha we have had a succes sion of unfavorable reports from these con cerns, showing decreased earnings, mis management and a general failure of the roseate promises in early prospectuses. Under such conditions the loads of over capltallxation begin to have their effect, and not a few concerns, which It is un necessary to mention, have already under gone marked declines In their quotations. The future of this branch of the market la not promising. The day of reckoning, liquidation and reorganization must come. At present It Is delayed by the large de mand of all kinds of manufactured pro ducts; in short, by the general activity of buslneee. Aa soon, however, as this begins to subside, prices decline and increased expenses cut Into earnings, then we may look for results which everyone hopes may be postponed aa long as possible. The danger Is not near, but it ia real and ahould not be lost sight of. In the money market there Is little change. There la no scarcity of funda for good borrowers, but rates are steady and Ikeiy to remain ao until tne reserves begin to grow. Whether Europe will draw freely upon ua for gold or not remalna to be aeen. British and Russian loans are in prospect, and these would no doubt cause aome dis turbance In the International money mar kets. In thla connection it is well to re member that our Imports are steadily rising and exporta declining, rendering impoasinie the remarkable trade balances which were. such a stimulating feature In 1901 and 1H00. uenerai Dusiness continues in good condi tion. High wages are promoting active consumption in all lines of manufactured goods, and, as distributors throughout the country appear to be carrying small stocks the nroenect is ror a gonn snrina traoe. At the same time the rapidly Increased cost of living is Deginning to cnecx consumption and may soon express Itself In more cau tloua buying In the wholesale markets. The Iron and steel Industries continue In their atate of phenomenal activity, though new competition Is making itself felt, and, while many OI tne mills noia oraers mat win keep them busy for months, still prices st first hands are not so steady as a month nr two iro. The textile trades seem well employed; orders In sight are plentiful. nence tne willingness ot onin con on mm woolen manufacturers to grant their em ployes advancea in wages. Any curtailment, however, in the demand for staple cotton goods with cotton at lta present nigh level would seriously Inconvenience cotton manu facturers, and the woolen mills are not en joying the same degree of prosperity that tney ma a year ago. very bouii uiv i-rui outlook will be a factor, and the Indica tions are that high pricea will encourage a larger acreage for corn and cotton, If not for wheat also. Bountiful harvests would certainly Insure us another year of pros perity. The apprehension of gold shipments still hangs over the market. But there Is no rear or tne money situation Deing aisiuraea thereby, as any gold shipments will ba doubly offset by the return of funds from Interior points to this center from thla time Crescent made Boys' Clothe of Llayden Bros.

Meanwhile money will gradually grow easier and rates lower, and the stock market cannot fall to be stimulated by plethoric money, aa It will furnish facilities to operators to carry stocks on easy terms throughout the sum mer months. I look for more activity In the stock market and a higher range ot prices, generally In the immediate future. BOURSE SLEEPS FOR A WEEK All Departments Exhibit Stagnation Which Borders on Lethargy. BERLIN, April 6. The phenomenal suc cess of the Russian loan has not Influenced the bourse and all departments during the last week exhibited stagnation bordering on lethargy. The hopes of those who looked for an Improvement in business with the new quarter have been sharply disap pointed. The unfavorable situation of the coal trade continues to grow and In West phalia numerous further dischargee of operatives have been announced for April 15. The conviction also gains ground that the Improvement in the Iron market will not rcallte expectations. The above conditions depressed iron and coal shares during the Inst week and al most without exception Industrial shares were lower. The shares of all banks fell several points during the week. Foreign rentes showed a sporadic activity. Mexicans were very firm. Chinese Improved upon the payment of an Installment of the Indemnity. The attempts to bull Canadian Pacific shares failed. Transvaal railway certificates were bought considerably for London account. The shares ot tne Norm uerman L.ioya $ttAfnhln pnmrtflnv And the Hnnihlire- Amerlcan Steam Packet company weak ened during the week, the Increases In ths capital of these companies being unpopular. Mucn attention waa given to tne pians or the North German Lloyd company to se cure a coal mine to furnish Its own coal supply. The money market haa grown easier. Tha private rate of discount stood all last week at H4 per cent. Call money reached 24 per cent. Greater ease of the money market la expected. The payment of the Russian loan will scarcely change the situation, aa this money will remain in the Berlin bank for the present. London Money Market. LONDON, April . Aa was expected, the turn of the year'a first quarter brought aomewhat easier money and operators were enabled to repay 3,000,000 to the bank. But with 9,000.000 atlll owing, the budget pro posals not yet revealed and the new loan still undecided, it its hard to gauge accu rately the future position. The Stock exchange has not improved since the Kaater holidays. The chief fea ture last week was a aharp revival In American railroad shares, but the opera tions of Friday revealed a total absence of these stocks on this side, consequently, even if Ixindon wanted to take advantage of the rise to sell, there is no real oppor tunity, and the recollection of the North ern Pacific deal of a year ago prevents operators from yielding to the temptation of dealing in American stock which they cannot Instantly produce when it is needed. Wall street ia thus left in unchallenged control of any movement it choaes to In augurate. Other sections of the Stock exchange dls. played little Interest. The dealings In home rails, home funds and Industrial shares were limited. Mining shares were very quiet during the last week on the absence of further peace newa. Manchester Textile Market.
