EVANGELISTIC SPIRIT KEEN
Nerer More Actire Than Now, Sayi
Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman.
HE FINDS CHRISTIANS AWAKE
Noted E?i.fll. -Visits Omaha and
Other Seminaries Preparatory'
to Rcstlnnlnsr Toir (
lb WirU.
" i iii rc wk never so much Interest
among Christian In the evangelistic work,
especially among men. as at present," said
Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, the noted evan
gelist, who spent Wednesday In Omaha,
visiting and speaking at tho Omaha Theo
logical seminary. He spoke Wednesday
morning and also In the afternoon and at
noon was entertained at the Toung Men's
Christian association at a luncheon given
by tha leading Presbyterians of Omaha.
'This Increased Interest Is shown every
where In several ways. One Is In the In
creased demand ior meetings and also be
cause tha cities are much more responsive.
1 have lately been from Canada on the
north to Knoxvllle, Tenn., on the south
and tha same spirit prevails.
Every church should be an evangelistic
church and the preacher should have an
enthusiasm akin to a pass:on for bringing
men to Christ. He should have the help of
his entlr('ohurch, Including the congrega
tion", the ushers and the choir."
Dr. Chapman, accompanied by George
T. B. Davis, representative of the Pocket
Testament league, is making a tour of the
Presbyterian -seminaries of this country
prior to taking a trip for a year to Aus
tralia. China, Japan and the Philippines.
f lie will be accompanied on that trip by
Mr. Davis and by Charles M. Alexandt-r,
the noted singer. After his visits to the
seminaries Dr. Chapman will conduct cam
paigns In Richmond (Va.), Boston and
Springfield, Mass., and Cnlcago. He sails in
April, 1009.
Rets Close in Toons; Men.
Dr. Chapman had an offer of the use of
Sume of the churches in Omaha for his
addresses Wednesday, but he said he pre
ferred tho chapel at the seminary, so that
ho might get closer to the ynung men
who were studying for the ministry.
In his address at the chapel he urged
the young men to get the evangelistic
spirit early In their career, citing himself
aa an example of the greater good he
might have done If he had earlier seised
upon his opportunities. He said the evan
gelistic spirit might be had In a church
from extra meetings, but he said these
were not needed, as It could be secured
by evangelistic sermons. He said that
many preachers could preach an evangel
istic sermrm, If they only thought they
could and urged, upon all to try It . once
In a while. He called upon them to get
the spirit of enthusiasm.' v i . ,
Mr. Davis spoke at the morning meeting
at the dispel and urged upon those present
to Join the '. league, all the requirements
being that they should promise to read a
chapter of the Bible each day.
The first meeting at the seminary was
at 9:30 a. m., the second at 11 and tho third
at 2:30. At this hour an evangelist confer
ence was held and laymen and clergy were
Invited to participate In It. Following that
Dr. Chapman spoke again. ' i
Presbyterian men of Omaha and South
Omaha formed an organisation Tuesday
night, the object of which Is to have a gen
eral organization to entertain such men as
Dr. Chapman when they come to Omaha
and also to welcome new pastors. The
executive committee of the new club con
sists of Dr. M. V. Hlgbee, ,Dr. Nathaniel
McGlffln,' Dr. D. E. Jenkins. Henry F.
Kleser, secretary, and W. J, Johnson, treas
urer, Mr. Kieser projected the plan.

not be verified. It is nevertheless given
as a fact that ninety-nine lawyers were
voted on yesterday at the meeting of the
bar' association. As there were ninety
nine lawyers who answered to roll call,
the naturnl conclusion Is that each law
yer voted for his neighbor.
The scene when the lawyers were writ
ing their ten names on the ballot was
like that of a county convention; lawyers
were hauled and pulled by other lawyers,
who In turn were buttonholed by out
siders. The assistant custodian of the
federal building here secured several
votes for his favorites, notwithstanding
his action might have caused his removal
for "pernicious activity." Those lawyers
who could not think of ten names to
write were easy prey for those who had
favorites, and no man was too big to be
lobbied.

Extra Copies of Crop Report.
Last fay and winter tho state bureau of
statistics could not begin to supply the
demand for the bulletin giving the figures
on Nebraska crops, accompanied by some
pertinent reading matter. "We could have
sold a good many thousand couples," says
Commissioner J. J. Ryder, "and already
this year I have begun to receive Inquiries
as to the price per hundred at which the
bulletin now In press can be bought.
Through the press of the cities and the
country towns, I want to say that If
those who can use 100 copies or more will
notify me at once I will take the matter
up with tho printers and find out what

have to know right away as to probable
number that would be taken.
"This plan of getting out statistics widely
scattered for the benefit of Nebraska Is
made necessary, by the extreme stinginess,
of the appropriation allotted this bureau,
which only permits of tho printing of 4,000
copies of a report when 23.000 to 60.000 could
be circulated to very good advantage."
