tion meant recognition of denomlnatlonal
Ixiu; that he wanted It clearly explained.
Evangelist Simpson Eljr of Minnesota
towered like a Colossus at the west tide of
the building and declared that be didn't
consider the action germane to the work
of the convention. Rev. Howard T. Cree of
Et. Louie shouted from the other aide of
the hall: "We are for Christian unity, and
we must not expect all to see things as we
see them."
While these and other speeches were be
Ir.g made there were frequent cries of
"That's right," or "No. no," and still more
frequent cries of "Question, question." The
question wss put and the chair decided that
those favoring the resolution were In the
majority. Promptly a division was called
for and a standing vote taken. The chair
ruled aa before and declared the resolution
passed. Evangelist Ely arose to question
the count and also the count made on the
motion to reconsider.
Music Hatk Charm.
The chair ruled him out of order, whlsp
ered hurriedly to W. E. Hackleman, leader
of the song service, and the latter started
"Bleseed Be the Tie that Binds" without
waiting for instrumental prelude. Hundreds
grasped the situation In an instant and
their voices rolled forth in mighty chorus,
Smiles came where frowns were, and the
matter was temporarily dropped.
Adjournment waa taken very promptly
and Chairman McCash was patted on the
back approvingly by many friends. Others
were noticed to be less demonstrative
One climbed the platform and told whoever
would llbten that he had gotten out of
Methodism once and didn't wish to get
back. Evangelist Ely stood at the door
ten minutes later, declaring to a group of
grave friends that the meeting had been
"packed" and that the resolution wss
"railroaded right through." On the cars
coming Into town the matter was the one
topic of dlacumion, the defenders of the
action declaring that It "would never do
to have the Disciples placed In the light
of opposing church federation." It is sus
pected that Editor Lord has not dropped
the matter permanently.
The other bvslness of the night was the
adoption of the report of the committee
on centennial celebration In 1909, which
committee waa appointed last year at Mln
neapolls with Editor Garrison as Its chair
man. It favors raising $1,000,000 for mis
stons, endowing colleges and making an
annual appropriation of $10,000,000 for all
churches.
The special music of the session waa
number by the Young Men's Christian
association quartet of Omaha and a solo
"Nobody Knows but Mother." by Mrs. W
T. Hilton, wife of the pastor, of the North
Side Christian church.
Powell a (stos,
The only address of the night, and one
which U considered as Important as any de
llvered at the present convention, was on
"Christian Union, the Paramount .Issue
It was by Rev. B. L. Powell, for fifteen
years pastor of the First Christian church
at Louisville, Ky., who said in part:
In the discussion of Christian union
may be said ef the average preacher smon
the Disciples of Christ. "Mactiregor Is on
his native heath." Our subject has been
the familiar contemporary of each genera
Hon of those who have contended lor the
simple gospel of Christ. Perhaps, of late
years, ft has been treated academically
rather tnan passionately. im again it
must be sounded forth In trumpet tones.
Once again It must be lifted to the prom
inence of a paramount Issue. Once again it
must become a great cry, an lmierattve de-
tnand, an authoritative declartlon. As Cato
closed every oration before the Koman
senate with the battle cry, "Carthage must
be destroyed, ' so we must reiterate the
loving demand, "The church must be
united."
And now. In brief, what Is meant by
Christian union? Once the church of Jesus
Christ was united a fair picture to look
upon. By Christian union Is meant In this
discussion the recovery of the original
union of the church: the restoration of the
permanent and abiding In the faith, ordi
nances and life of the apostolic church; the
rediscovery of the essential In the spirit,
structure and life of that church. Christian
union la the Inevitable product of a return
to the simple gospel. It Is restoration,
rather than reconstruction of denomina
tional machinery or new alignments that
must give us Christian union.

At yesterday morning's session the west
and the east locked horns on the lo
cation of the convention of 1900. St. Louis

troit seems llkel7 to get It for HX'3. but
there developed opposition to Its being

three years hence. The committee on rec
ommendstions In its report recommended
that the coast be given it that year and
Rev. Carey V. Morgan of Richmond. Vs.,
promptly arose to protest with considerable
earnestness that for several years It has
gone west of the Mississippi river and
should ge back east or south agala.
Dean B. C. Saanderson of the bible col
lege at Eugene, Ore., answered with an ap
peal to come out here, where the influence
of the convention was so much needed.
Others called out to Rev. Morgan that
"everything Is west of the Mississippi river,
anyhow," and the meeting by a rising vote
killed the Morgan motion to strike from
the committee's report before adopting It.

has only the effect of moral Impetus, how
ever. In behalf of the roast, as the real se
lecting will be done later by another com
mittee. The society's president, Hsrvey O. Bree
den of Des Moines, hss been ill for three
days and the task of presiding was assumed
by Rev. T. E. Crsmblett. president of Beth
any college. West Virginia. George L.
Bush of Texas conducted the devotional
service. IieLoas Smith of Indiana wss the
leader of the song.
President Breeder Rrlivera Address,
By supreme effort, President Breeden de
livered his address on "The Gospel for this
ge," which Is quoted below. It wss per-
aps the most notsble address, viewed
purely from the religious standpoint, of the
entire convention and there waa not a stir
uring the entire time of its delivery, but
tterwsrd there was a round of applause
that fairly shook the building.
Enthusiasm over good thlne-s of another
sort wss aroused" when reports were taken
up. That of the acting board of managers
was made by Benjamin Lyon Smith, cor
responding secretary, who stated that 170
churches hsd been organized during the
past year by the home missionaries, that
21.680 people were brought Into churches
by the same agents; that every $5 brought
convert and that there are now 900.000
dieclplrs In the Mississippi valley.
Reporting for the Board of Church Ex
tension, Corresponding Secretary Oeorge W
Mucktey stated that this board has built a
church for every five days of the last year;
that $180,000 In loans has b-en paid tack
since the society's beginning and with It
$60,000 interest. The full reports of both
the extension and mission board were sum-
masked In The Sunday Bee.
F. M. Rains offered prayer and Charles
H. White of Illinois, the newly chosen field
sicretary of the church extension board was
presented to the convention and spoke very
briefly.
Rev. C. E. Plattenburg of Ohio read tho
report of General Superintendent Pounds of
the Christian Endeavor wort, the latter
having been detained at home. This report
also was reviewed In The Dee's Sunday edl
tion.
Reports of Committees.
For the absent chairman. Rev. George
Darsey, Rev. B. B. Tyler read the report
of the prayer meeting committee, which
report stated that the topics for 1903 are
now ready at the church publishers; that
the committee would recommend that Its
membership be increased from five to
seven and that it be given a full year, or
from convention to convention, to pre
pare Its work, with the further reconi
mendstion that the committee for 1904 be
appointed now. B. L. Smith put these lat
ter recommendations In a motion, which
carried, and the new committee will be
appointed soon.
I. N. McCash then made the report of the
committee on recommendations, the prln
clpal of which were those favoring the Pa
clflc coast for the convention of 1905; sug
gesting that the Missionary society here
after let the state bosrds of Nebraska,
Iowa, Mleeourl and Kentucky take care of
these states and turn its attention to those
wherein the Disciples are not so strong;
that the prohibition movement be endorsed,
but that the matter of having a regular
time for its discussion reserved on every
program be left to the discretion of the cor
responding secretary and through him to
the board of managers; also that there be
left to him the matter of railroad rates and
that special rates for ministers attending
prohibition rallies be left to state boards.
The committee recommended the endorse
ment of the miniature Jerusalem which the
Jerusalem Exhibit company proposes to
build at St. Louis, but stipulated that this
endorsement Is given with the understand
ing that there be an entire absence of the
Oriental features that characterize the
average midway attraction.
Mahomet aad the Moantaln.
After the disposal of Rev. Morgan's pro
test on the convention site resolution Rev.
Howard T. Cree of St. Louis waa called to
deliver his address on "Mahomet and the
Mountain," with the noon whistle echoing
In the ears of 3,000 persons who had snt for
three hours and were tired. It placed the
speaker at a great dlsadvjinUig, but he wss
of magnificent voice uni managed to hold
his hearers to the end. It is his thought
that in the matter of evangelisation the

It contends that the will of the HI vine Is

The third grspel Is the religion of the

the human life of Ood. He Is the way. the
truth and the life. Through union with
Him the divine life comes to the soul. He
Is the Infallible guide through the masee
of the wo'ld of sin. He Is the divine creed
of the church. Christ Is Christianity. This
gcfpel alone holds out a divine seir-cnn-
scIgus, self-determining personality as the
upreme object of faith and hope and love
and obedience. In this alone Is Christianity
differentiated from other religions.- Other
religions itave their moral code, their ex

but only Christianity Is merged in its
Author. "It Is 1" is the central point of His
every annojneement. He is Himself enns

harmonies the glorious prelude to the
symphony of His life "I am the Vine," "I

World," "1 am the Resurrection and the
Life." The supreme glory of the gospel is
therefore not in ceremonial observance or
an articulated system of doctrines, but In
its Christ of etrange incarnation, marvelous
teaching, matchless character, majestic
deed, atoning death, glorious resurrection
and radiant ascension to the eternal Father.
Among the religious bodies or America
the Church of Christ stands unique In
this, that It presents the person of Jesus
Christ as the sole object of faith, the sol
vent of doubt and the saviour rrom sin.
Let us assume a fact that la so axiomatic
that It requires no proof that there Is in
every soul, even the most sceptical, the
faith faculty a living active power of
faith. In many Instances it may be dim.

this age and of all ages because It is Incar
nate Love. There Is no argument, no con
tention against that. It meets also the uni
versal hunaer for facts.
Colonel Ingersol, whose star of eloquence
belonged to the constellation Mercury
voiced the sceptical demand of the age
when he said: "We pause at the door of
your churches and ask for facts. We pass
along your broad aisles and beg for just
one little fact. W'e know all about stale
miracles and muster wonders, but we want
a fact a this year's fact." Fine rhetoric,

recommended the observance of Forefather's
day as advocated by the Board ct Ministerial
relief; commended the work of J. E. Pounds,
the retiring secretsry; ssnctloned his sug
gestion that the superintendent be given
$:00 by the Missionary society for expenses
necessary In getting into Immediate touch
with the individual societies, and gave it
on the opinion of the committee that "the
time is psst w'ten we should be silent on
the liquor traffic."
W. M. Taylor who has been a missionary
in Porto Rico and appesrs to be only par
tially recovered from the Illness that com
pelled him to return to America, told of the
dlaadvaotages under which he had had to
labor on the Island. He declared that net
withstanding these dlssdvsntsges and the
natural hardships, he would rather be a
missionary In Porto Rico than the president
of the United States which sentiment was
enthusiastically applauded by a large num
ber of persons who have never been either
one. i
Contrary to precedent, the report of the
committee on nominations went through
without a change In the personnel of the
executive corps proposed. The only amend
ment to the report was that moved by Rev.
Pendleton of Missouri, that instead of the
clause leaving the selection of a superin
tendent of Christian Endeavor to the board,
there be Inserted as that of the superintend
ent to succeed Pounds, Mr. R. H. ft'sggoner
of Kansas City, a layman. He said that the
man should be chosen now, that he might
take up his work with the fire of enthusi
asm kindled at this convention still burning
In his breast. The motion prevailed and
Mr. Waggoner was declared elected, but
was given no opportunity to speak.
Before the session's adjournment Acting
Chairman Morgan announced that the
Cudahy Packing company will run a free
excursion from the Coliseum at 13 o'clock
Thursday to Us plant In South Omaha, re

also that the railroads will sell tickets to

After the devotional, service which inau
gurated the afternoon program ot the
American Missionary . society, and Mrs.
Heacock's solo, "Come Unto Me," Rev. A
L. Orcutt of Indianapolis read the report
of the Board of Ministerial Relief as given
In The Sunday Bee, pleading for a more
liberal support of the old ministers. Tho
veteran Dr. W. T. Moore of Canton uni
versity, Missouri, prayed Divine favor upon
that branch of the church's work, and then
Rev. J. H. McCIeery of Illinois, who, hav
ing passed his 64th milestone recently,
was retired from United States army serv
ice, with retired chaplain's pay of $158 per
month, offering hie gratuitous services to
the Board of Ministerial Relief, was made
secretary.
He pleaded In behalf ot the patriarchs of
the ministry and took census of the minis
ter of all ages in the house. When he
called upon ministers under 21 years of age
five arose. When he called for those be
tween 20 and 30 years the number grew to
forty. Counting on, up by . tens he dlscov
red three preeent who were more than
$0 years old. They were Rev. J. R. Hoy of
Nebraska, aged 87; Rev. Frank Nacy of
Hebron, Neb., aged 88, and Dr. George W.
Taylor of Princeton, 111., aged 80. Rev.
Nacy spiced the pathos with a btt of
kumor by waving his sha-lng finger toward
the crowd and calling out: "I am 88, but I

a much larger crowd than was present at

that the attendance was not up to what
was desired was shown by the introduc

Kentucky, requesting the national board
to place the programs for the conferences.
with the time and place they are to bo
held, upon the program of the regular
convention.
The first paper on the progrsm Tuesday
morning wss "The Spiritual Life of the
Society," by Mrs. Walden of Texas. The
speaker said that all depended upon the
spiritual life; that , without the spirit of
Christ success would be Impossible: that
life depends upon atmosphere, food and
exercise. The atmosphere is secured by
the members living, near Christ; the food
Is found in a thorough knowledge of mis
sionary work and the exercise in cultivat
ing a missionary spirit not only in the
members of the society, but in the com
munity In which It exists.
The second paper, by Mrs. Lora Squires
of Kansas, waa "The Tidings Subscription
List." The speaker said that every mem
ber of each auxiliary should be a sub
scriber to the Tidings, the official paper
of the organxatlon, as through that paper
only could shs keep., In touch with the
work, the paper giving every detail ot the
work as It progresses. .
"The Social Life of the Society" was the
theme ot Mrs. Louise Kelly of Kansas,
Mrs. Kelly ' said that the greatest power
possessed by womea. Is that which shn
exerts socially; that the society Is really
an association composed of the friends ot
Christ, and as such it. should do what Ha
would do were He on earth and that the
members should, therefore, visit the homes
of their - friends and associates, should
exercise a genial hospitality, especially as
It is said that hospitality Is dying out
of ths churches; that the program ot each
society should be arranged so that the de
votional, the literary and business sessions
should precede a social hour, during which
refreshments might be aerved and other
features introduced, but with this, the
society cannot afford o forget its divine
mission and degenerate Into a circle for
ths discussion of pink teas.
In discussing "Auxiliary Finances" Mrs
L. Q. Bants ot Missouri said that the Im

should plan for the raising of special ob
ject funds.
"The Well Officered Auxiliary" was pre
sented by Mrs. 8. K. Yancey of Kentucky.
She said that the spiritual life of the
society will never be above that of the
officers of the organization; that the offi
cers should be chosen not only for their
Influence socially In the community, but
for their devotion to the cause. Mrs. L.
V. Thompson repeated the gist of her re
marks of Monday on the subject of how
to organize an auxiliary and Mrs. A. M.
Haggard repeated her remarka on a "Suc
cessful Society."
Short talks were then made by Mrs.

Presldent Breeden's address was l.i part
as follows:
Neither pray I for these alone, but for
all them also who shall believe on me
through thir word; that they all may be
one as thou Father art In me and I In
Thee, that they also may be one In us that
the world may believe that Thou hast sent
me." John xvll, 20. This divine prayer la
prophetic. It is the sosoel in outline for
every age and peculiarly, emphatically for
I ms age. How perfectly it presents the
gospel for this age no man can understand
until he haa first discovered and analysed
his own age.

upon which a king sits scepiered and
crowned, in this age as in no Vther the
welfare ot the common people enters Into
the composition of government and con
stitutes Its chief concern. Lducatlon, sci
ence, art, liberty, religion have all de
scended to the many and in government
the people reign. The common people are
determining our art. our literature, our
newspapers, our public schools. All the
great formative Influences of the nation
are in the hands of the democracy.
For the realisation of America's hone.
the dream of democracy, our own glorious
church Is almost divinely favored. Of the
nve great protectant bodies of America,
eacn numbering more tnan a million com
municants, this one alone was born on
American soli. The great Baptist and
Methodist churches each -laim England
their birthplace Presuytenanlsm waa for
mulated lu Scotland, Lutheranlsm in Ger
many, but the Church ot Christ had Its In
ception and la having ks career in our own
beloved America. In Its Ideals and Its form
of government It Is the complement and
the completion of democracy. And why
not, since both received their Inspiration
and genius from the Palestine Master.
Whatever contributions other religious bod
lea may ofter toward the solution of Amer
ican problems It is not extravagant to
claim for this movement, by virtue of Its
ideals, its genius, its Individuality and
equipment a most favored place. In Its
thorough going democracy It meets the de
mands ot tne age.
