cHrNcH WORK IN NEBRASKA.


The reports made at the various great
national church conventions that have
been holding their annual sessions In
various cities during the past few weeks
once more bring sharply TO notice the
growth of church work in Nebraska
as we'll as the difficulties that beset the
path Of the church pioneers in states that
are not entirely within the thlckly set
tied districts. At the convention OF
the Congregational Home Missionary
Society at Saratoga, for example. the
delegate from Nebraska, among other
things of interest said: 81 have been in
Nebraska nearly twentyfour years, and
the most OF our 192 churches have been
organized since l CAME. AS nearly every
church in the state has been planted
and ncursled by the Home Missionary
Society, the whole Congregational COM
monwealth is good illustration of the
work wrought under the auspices of the
society. From the beginning of our one
! little church of nine members in 1886,
with Father Gaylord at its head, we
have grown to be community of 102
churches with about 1900 members;
nearly 10000 in our congregations and
as many in our Sunday schools. Our
churches have been struggling toward
self-support, many OF those upon the self
supporting list having reached that point
through great sacrifice on the part of
pastors and people. We shall never
know. much less appreciate, the priva-
4, ~. yr
those who go before and do the work
for the rest of us" And reports of
similar character and scope have been
laid before other UNCONVENTIONAL so
cieties and gatherings.
Church work in Nebraska has, we
must all admit, suffered in common with
other interests during the years of de-
preston. but the church going people
are to be congratulated that they have
stood up as well as they have against
adverse conditions and have now
reached the point where their horizon
seems to be clearing. The building up
and strengthening of the churches and
church societies gives us the nucleus
around which the law-respecting ele-
ments of our communities rally when
ever their good order or good name is
threatened and without this influence for
morality and law-obedicnce industrial
and commercial development would be
impossible. Among the inducements
which Nebraska holds out for the at
traction of investors and settlers to its
borders, none is more powerful than the
assurance-an assurance capable of
ocular demonstration-that it is Il great
church-supporting state, that church
work is on the increase and that the
aarnestnesS and energy of the people are
enlisted under the various church
organizations.
While the churches of Nebraska may
have sore trials to endure and heavy
burdens to bear the spirit of the people
who planted them in the infancy of the
state and watched over and nourished
them as. they grew is sure TO give them
the place that belongs to them among the
factors contributing to the upbuilding of
Nebraska and the great west.

| Noticeable in the East.
William E. Curtis in Chicago Record
There has been a decided Improvement in
! the financial situation since / was last in
| New York. All classes in the industrial and
| commercial world feel encouraged over the
outlook and expectancy has replaced the ap-
preheIsion that had become the habitual con-
dtion of the public mind for the last three
years. The people you meet In the banks
downtown and visitors from ether parts OF
the country who gossip in the hotel rotundas
all tell the story that while the era Of pros
perity has not yet begun, the signs OF it's
approach appear in every direction, the most
important being an almost universal conf
dence that It Is almost here, There Is con-
idence In the president, that his policy will
be just and conservative and that he will not
permit the country to be plunged into a war
over Cuba or any other cause there is conf
dence that congress will dispose of the tariff
bill speedily and that the rates in the new
schedules will not be so high those Of
the Dingley bill.
The crop reports are unusually encourag-
Ing. telegram from President Hill of the
Great Northern railroad predicts that the
wheat fields contributary to that line will
furnish 80 600 900 bushels OF grain this sea
son for it's transportation. and the managers
of the other railways contribute intelligence
equally favorable to the general store of en-
couI agement. The jobbers say that the sup
saries OF life Is generally exhausted through
out the country. and that the people must
buy and the mills must resume operations
to meet the demand. which will bring into
circulation the millions OF dollars that have
been boarded through the hard times. Every
body agrees that money Is plentiful and that
prosperity has come to be an actual reality.
The water has been squeezed out OF stocks.
Improbable properties have been reorganized
upon an economical basis. Fictitious values
have been exposed, bubbles have collapsed
and stock corporations are nearer rock
bottom basis Of operation than they have
been for many years.
The owners Of railway Investments are no
longer nervous over the dissolution or the
poo,s and they have decided that .he passage
Of pooling law by congress Is not as essen
tlal to national prosperity as they believed
1t to be. They realize that the transpo!ta-
tion companies will be compelled to regulate
and maintain rates as matter OF self-pro-
lection without the form OF q contract and
