TEXAMAH, Neb.. April 2i-(8peclal.)
Th Christian Benevolent association of
Omaha, o which Dr. W. O. Henry Is
founder. J. ' W. Haftssl general manager
and Lloyd C. HarteY superintendent, ha
failed of endorsement at the handa of the
Presbytery of Omaha, ia session here. The
presbytery placed, itself, on record when It
voted to disapprove the action of ,th Third
rhurch ef Omaha 4 -establishing a house
hold of this association, '
This action' came afteran animated dis
cussion pt the subject, during which , the
'C B. A.,- 'as It Is called, came promi
nently Into tha limelight. . Warren Swltxler,
at tor tey of Omaha and member of West
minster church, led the debate against the
"C. B. A.", and George F. Bldwell. former
general manager of tha Northwestern rail
Toad and member of the First church, took
n active part. Ka recently retired from
tha session of the First church. He told
the presbytery of having presented a
formal written protest to his. church against
the Christian Benevolent association.
Cherry Case the Plvat.
The discussion arose a a result of the
request of Rev. J. B. Cherry, Ph. D., that
the presbytery dissolve the relations be
tween -himself as pastor and the Third
church of Omaha.,, Dr. Cherry had all
along opposed Introducing the association
Into his churchen. the grounds that the
church was riot financially able to support
it and It would lead to divisions In the
membership. But the association was es
tablished there. Dr. Cherry presented his
resignation la hi church couple of weeks
go and the. church refused to accept it.
In asklVi the presbytery tt$ dissolve these
tetaOotis . V -. .-; C, bcrrl', JUtl$tl'.' felt'Thnt hra j
work, was tlona Jitjha Third church, thttugh
the churoh had refused to accept his resig
nation.' At this point' William McCormlck,
who recently retired-from the board of
elders at the Third church; because of
Ma opposition to the ','C B. A.,". was called
on for a statement. It -Appeared Mr. Mc
Cormlck was originally In favor of the
'C. B. A.," but that when he Saw Ha work
ing effect ha took sides with his pastor
and resigned. Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks.
D. D., pastor of the First church of Omaha,
here moved that the congregation of the
Third church be cited In the matter. Asked
for his reason for desiring the citation of
the congregation. Dr.' Jenks was noncom
mittal. Dr. Jenks Is one of the most ar
dent friends of the Christian Benevolent
association, being pastor, of the church of
which Dr. Henry la a member and where
tha "C. B. A." was first slanted.
Swltsler geeres It Hard.
Mr. Swltsler spoke for over an hour.
His address was forceful, showing he had
put much thought on his Subject, and It
waa received ( with unusual enthusiasm.
Jdr. Swltsler said:
This Christian "Benevolent association la
the most revolutionary movement that haa
ever snown itseir in the Presbyterian
church and la fraught with untold dlaaater.
It tends to distract from tha real purposes
ami mission of tha church.
Second, it Beaks to usurp some of the
functions or tne cnurcn, taking awav sea.
atonal right and control; lta conditions o!
membership are financial, not spiritual, and
It is tn fart a secret society, despite the
claims or its promoters to the contrary
for only Its numbers can attend ita meet
lnrs. .
Third, It, mSit machinery to tha .church.
already burdened with machinery; it also
ados new obligations to church members.
Fourth, It creates divisions and factions
ana will split the church that takes It up,
despite all the pastor or people may do,
For example, I point to the very first
chance It has had. the Third Presbyterian
church of Omaha. Within six months
after this society had gone Into that church
the church Is split wide open and the
pastor hss tendered his realisation be
cause of the Christian Benevolent associa
tion.
Fifth, It turns the church Into an Insur
ance society and, since it is an assess
ment concern. It will InevltRbly come to
grief, and when It does It will Involve the
church to Its own dishonor and shame. It
will be a -Christian, a church Instltu
lion tailing. mis thing Is bu t on a
financial foundation and some day, If It
nourmnes. win nave some man tor Presi
dent at an Immense salary, which It will
tax memners to pay. The Insurance, as
business proposition, Is unsound.
Sixth, the society has come Into exist
ence under the pretense of a church af
fair, but It has not the sanction of the
Presbyterian church or any of Its agencies
Why didn't the founder of this institution
go to the general assembly and ask Its en
dorsement of his plan? Whenever he geta
the authority of the general assembly, the
nignest court or our church, hack of him
then I won't protest If he seeks to Inject
the virus of his revolutionary movement
Into our church. But he can never get
aucn autnonty.
Presbytery Cheers the Speech.
The presbytery, one of the largest that
ever assembled In this district, cheered the
address and showed It waa overwhelm
ingly with Mr. Swltsler.
Mr. Swltilen' moved that a committee be
appointed to consult Dr. Cherry and Mr
McCcrmlck as to the time and place of a
meeting of the presbytery for the citation
of the Third church congregation, where
this matter may hi thoroughly threshed
out.' the records of the Third church pro'
duced. together with the letter Dr. Henry
wrote that church originally presenting his
preposition. The reports of the Third
church were turned over to the sessional
committee and that committee reported
finding the records of Dr. Henry's letter
and the establishment of the "C. B.v A-
The committee wanted the preebytery to
say 'What chould be done. Mr. Swltxler
moved that the action Af the Third church
be disapproved and U e motion waa car
ried almost unanimously. This action Is
tantamount to voting an endorsement of
the course of Dr. Cherry,
Action to Come Later.
'. The presbytery flli. not ilsolro the re
lations between Dr. Cherry and his church.
delaying final' action until June 2, when It
will meet at the First church In Omaha
and thresh out the whole matter.

State Fair Board Bxpeets to Have Big?

Fair ' Speed Program la
Give Oat,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
UNCOLN. Neb., April 21 (Special.)
Arbor day waa observed by tha state of
ficers and state employes In a fitting man
ner. There waa more planting done this-
day by these officials than by any pre
vious officials. No trees were set out In
the state house yard It la true, because
there is little vacant space now for trees
or shrubs, but many of the employes. In
fact a great majority of them, planted
themselves out at the base ball park. In
this bunch were all of the deputies, who
hope to grow Into state officials before
many monts.
Borne few of the office were open most
of the morning, tho supreme court having
Violated the law and set the example by
grinding away on opinions all day long.
But In Ujchc offices where business waa
being transacted, only the minimum amount
of work waa done with Juat enough em
ployes on hand to man the "old ship of
state." During the afternoon the spirit
of rest stalked abroad in real earnest In
the State house, and by the time the umpire
said "play ball." the flag flag waa flying
over a deserted seat of government.
Governor Sheldon removed the capltol
bark to Lincoln last night from, the sum
mer capltol at Nehawka, beside the Weep
ing Water, but bright and early this morn
ing he set sail for Fremont, (without miss

nonn. From Fremont he went to Nor
folk, where he spoke tonight.
