delegates are arriving in Atlanta to
attend what promises to be the lar
gest and most important cotton coz
vention held in recent years.

tendance and other delegates will in
clude prominent planters and shippers
who will join in q practical discussion
OF the questions to come before the

PLAN FOR ANEW HOSPITAL
Jewish People Decide 20 Rent Small
building and Provide Place 60
Care for Their Sick.


A meeting OF the Jewish people of the
city was held Sunday afternoon at Temple
Israel on Harney street in the interests OF
the Omaha Jewish Hospital association. In
this gathering was a coalescing OF Polish,
Hungarian, German and Bohemian Jews and
the sects, reformed and orthodox. There
was much enthusiasm manifest from the
opening OF the meeting and the discussion
was at all times vigorous and full Of in
terest.
ID. A. Simon, president Of the new associa-
tion, outlined his ideas for the work. He
presented four propositions The first was
that the Jewish people rent one ward in one
OF the city hospitals, which should be known
as the Jewish ward. The second was that
the society raise funds and send the sick
to the hospitals they might choose. The
third was for the renting of small build
Ing to operate a hospital in and the last
was to form a nucleus sum of money with
which building should be erected In two
years.
The matter was thoroughly discussed, the
people all taking part in the argument and
finally when the wheat had been threshed
from the chaff 1t was found the majority
favored the plan of renting small build
ing. Mrs. Albert Heller, Mrs. ]. l.. Brandele
and Mrs. ]. Sonnenberg were appointed O
committee to find suitable quarters
The association has something like 25C
members and an effort is being made to in
| crease the number to about 800, which will
make the hospital self-supporting from the
start. DR.. Simon was highly gratifed tha,
all the Jews in the city were willing te
work in harmony in the matter and the
indications are that there is success ahead
During the meeting mention was made OF
the kindness of Manager w. w. Cole Of the
Trocadero, who allowed the association the
proceeds Of one performance, from which
$3.50 was cleared The next meeting will bt

Organized over Twenty Years Ago.
Rev. ]. w. Ingram, who founded the First
Christian church In this city and built the
present edfce, preached to its congregation
yesterday morning and evening, among those
who heard him being many who had en-
joyed his pastorate over twenty years ago.
His evening theme was, Religious Expan-
sion and the Growth of the Kingdom of
Cod" and his thought and argument were
that the prophecies of the conquest of the
world by Christianity are sure to be fulfilled
through the cooperation of the civil govern
ment, the schools the churches and other
institutions that make for the good OF man.
kind. 1t is only the pessimist, whose point
OF view Is limited who imagines and believes
that everything is going wrong. The op
timist, whose vision reaches farther, sees
the growth Of the kingdom of God. What
ever may be the justice of the existing war
in the Philippines, God will make the wrath
of man to praise Him and the remainder He
will restrain. Through His might and power
all the islands of the sea will eventually be
dotted over with cities schools and churches.
All the blessings of mankind are secured
through sacrifice and suffering. This con-
| quest of the world Is to be brought about
| by the CO. operation of all the christianizing
| influences. An old adage says that competi-
| ton is the life Of trade. 1t may be the
| life of one man, but 1t is the death of an
other. The speaker believed in cooperation.
He believed that the day will come when the
| state of Nebraska will be a unit CONNER
cialy, religiously and politically through
cooperation, when the trust will no longer
be menace to mankind He spoke on this
subject from the standpoint of Christianity
and not from that of the politician. To him
there was something grand in the thought
Of universal cooperation.
| Rev. Ingram was for five years pastor OF
the First Christian church. He left Omaha
in 1888, going fret to Memphis, thence to
Chicago, then to Denver and later to Los
Angeles, Cal, which is his present home
He has been repeatedly called to accept
again the pastorate of his old church here
but has never accepted. He is now travelling
with his invalid wife and expects to re-
turn to Los Angeles in a few weeks. After
the sermons, morning and evening, there
was a joyful reunion, many Of the older
members OF his congregation crowdine
around him to affectionately recall their &C.
quaintance with him.

DIR. ALLEN on Personal PROFIT
Interesting discourse Mt the First
Dnntist Church Inst Might.

Interesting NDiscourse at the First
baptist Church Last Night.
Rev. G. B. Allen, d. D.. preached to a
crowded house last night at the First Bap-
tist church, formerly Beth Eden, Park ave-
nue. and Leavenworth street. The consolida-
ton of the two churches has materially in
creased the attendance. "The Question Of
Personal Profit" was the topic. DR.. Allen
took his text from Job So, 8.
This is one Of the liveliest questions Of
the present time" the speaker said. EVERY
body is asking about 1t; everybody is seeking
1t. 1t is the hope of profit that decides
every man in his vocation in life. 1t is the
goal toward which all men run with ut
most speed. 1t has come to pass in most
places men have become so selfish and sor-
did that their only idea of profit is money.
How much money is there in it? That is
the question and If there is no money in It.,
then there is no profit. But all souls are
not so sordid. There are tens of thousands
who will ask, What good will come of it?'
And that question lifts man high as heaven
above his selfish, grasping brother.
Along this line DR.. Allen talked at length
in highly interesting manner. All the
seats were taken.

REV. YoUNDT AT sT. pAUL's CHURCH
sSenks ON the Relation of Mortal to

The congregation OF ST. Paul's Episcopal
church was favored yesterday morning by
the presence in the city of Rev. Samuel ].
foundt OF Galesburg, ILL., The little church
was filled to greet it's distinguished visitor
and special music was prepared by the
choir for the occasion Following the SER
mon Rev. Youndt presided at the services
of holy communion.
The speaker talked on the commemora-
tion Of All Saints day and our relation to
life after death and the spirits of the de-
parted. He said in part:
THE great central truth OF life after
death is believed by all nations and ever
has been. 1t is the religion of even the
savages and the red men. 1t is the funda-
mental article OF tho faith of mankind But
every one OF us is imperfect at the time Of
death in body, spirit and mind, and the
transition from mortal to immortal life
does not take away our sins and make Us
whole. We are still to labor for perfection
after death as We should before, The gpir-
it's of the departed need our prayers just
as our friends who are absent. The law
of continuity applies 10 our lives. We must
