A HELPFUL CHURCH
Its Essential Features Outlined by
Itev. C. M. Ollpliunt
THE ALL-IMPORTANT FACTOR
OF A SUCCESSFUL CHURCH CON
GREGATION IS TO KEEP MOV
ING, FOR "LIGHTNING NEVER
STRIKES A MOVING TRAIN."
good' MUSIC WILL FILL
CHURCH PEWS, AND AN EFFI
CIENT MINISTRY NECESSARY.
'A PRACTICAL DISCOURSE.
The largo congregation at the First
Christian church yesterday morning
heard a very Interesting discourse on
"The helpful Church," by tho paBtor,
'fccv.rC. M. Ollphant. The essentials
of a '.church to bo helpful were set
forth In a practical manner. A synop
sis of Mr. Ollphant's remarks, as to
what o halpful church must have.Is as
follows: , . ,
people need sympathetic help; not
arguments only so far aa these lead
own to-u better conception of spiritual
?troth. Controversy sometimes drives
?OhrlBtiantly from the Held, and It put
mosques where churches formerly stood ;
;*in the Eastern Roman Empire, and
very often destroys peace and Joy
among God's people. The wise minis- ,
ter will avoid needless controversy.
The old need tho help. The young
need the help. The posslbllltes of the
young are often underestimated. The
sermon should be helpful. Men and wo
men need the bread of life, that which
will feed them spiritually. The minis
ter among the people should be helpful.
Every one should be made to feel that
In the pastor he has o true friend.
The music of the sanctuary Is help
ful. The effect of music Is marvelous.
It has led armies to victory. Dr. Kane,
In the Arctic regions kept his men from
despair by having a mnn play an old
violin. Alt nations have their music.
National songs are inspiring. We read
In mythology of Amphion who played
upon his lyre until the mountains were
moved and the walls of Thebes arose,
but religion has a mightier story to tell*
of how Christian songs may build whole
temples of eternal joy and lift the
round eapth Into sympathy with the
skies. If the music of the sanctuary
be fiood the people will be present, even
If the sermon be defective.
The prayers >?f the sanctuary make a
helpful church. If the whole audience
lay hold upon the golden hinge of pray
er, the door of the storehouse of love
and mercy will be opened. People In
bereavement are helped by these pray
ers In their behalf. The tempted re
ceive strength for overcoming temp
tation by the prayers.Those In darkness
are.brounht into the light .through
these prayers of God's people. If we
but understood the grandeur and pa
thos of the exercise of prayer, instead
of being a dull exercise we might im
agine the room full of divine and an
gelic appearances.
A church abreast of the times Is
s helpful. Old methods will not meet the
present demands. The Gospel Is the
same, but it is to adapt itself to the
needs of the hour. Unless the church
adapt Itself to the times it will become
extinct. No new Gospel, but the old
one properly applied to the needs of to
day.
The church's mission embraces.
First?The mlrallty of the city.
Second?Civic problems.
Third?Sunday questions.
Fourth?Society questions.
Fifth?Rights of Men.
sixth?'The brotherhood of man and
the fatherhood of God.
Seventh?All things that pertain to
the salvation and betterment of man.
The church that Is helpful has its
Aarons and Hur3 ever ready to hold up
the hands of minister, officers and all
in every department of Christian work.
These are they: .
First?Who feel their personal re
sponsibility. When the church suc
ceeds does the Individual nslc. Have I
had a part In this success? When tho
<taurch falls, does the Individual Chris
tian ask. Have I by my neglect or in
difference caused this failure?
Second?Who support the church
moralv and financially. If a man
1 morally supports the church he will
also give it flnanclal support If his
moral support has been of the^rlght
WThlr<3 ? Who defend the church
against all unjust attacks. Do you al
ways defend your pastor? Your offi
cial board? Your whole church against
all injustice?
Fourth?Whose lives are consistent
with their Christian profession. Are
you a living epistle pf Christ known
and read of all men? If so you are one
tof the Aarons and Hurs.
Fifth?Who are moving forward in
v Christian service. A railroad train in
'OMo was travelling at the rate of forty
? miles per hour when a. great storm
casno up. An old lady In the train
?was aJarmed lest the train would be
struck. The conductor qxflett^ her fears
? by assuring her that "lightning never
strikes a moving train." So the light
ning of sin,, of indifference, of envy, of
injustice, or of any wrong will not
etrlke the moving Christian or the mov
ing church. Be active for Christ, and
you are safe.

THE RAILROADS,
It Is stated In financial circles, cays
the New York Host, that the Whoellng
& Lake Erie railroad plan of reorganiza
tion -will probably lisuo this week, and
that It will provide for an assessment of
11 per cent on the preferred and 8 per

to th 1 por cent already paid. Tho con
sol 4s will bo converted Into first prefer
red stock, the present preferred, share
for irtiare, Into second preferred, and

ment.
3,534 MILES FpR |4.
Thero Is considerable comment on the
fact that the southwestern lines have
decided to sell tickets at U from St.
Louis to Dallas, Tex., and return,, for
the encampment of the-Mystic Shrine.
When Dallas was decided upon as the
meeting place- the Missouri Pacific, St.
Louts, and San Franclso, aad Missouri,
Kanros & Texas lines made the fare for
the round trip $19 45. Since then they
havo been seeing how low they can put
the rate. The distance from St. Louis
to Dallas and return is 1,634 miles. At
U, 'tho rate is .0383 cents per mile.
ENGINEERS' HEADQUARTERS.
Cleveland will be the headquarters-ot
the Brotherhood of Locomotivo Engin
eers for the next- ten years beginning
with 1900. This was decided at the re
cent convention of tho organization In
Bt. Louis.
Tho passenger department of the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad Is qulto well
pleased with tho number of special par
ties handled during the month of May.
The total number carried, exclusive of
regular and Dccoratlon day travel, was i
28,603. Fully 19,000 of these were troops
en route to Palls Church and Chlcka
mauga. The Baltimore & Ohio manage- ]
ment Is congratulating Itself that this j
heavy travel was handled without delay
to the regular business and without an
accident of any sort
HEAVY WESTERN BUSINESS.
Edward C. Schoen, district passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific railroad,
was In tho city yesterday visiting
friends. He says that, contrary to the
general belief, the business of the great
western lines has not largely diminished
on account of the relegation of tho
Klortdllee' to a back seat as a conse
quence of the war. On the contrary, tho
Northern Pacific will have one of the
best yoars since its reorganization.
This Is caused by the very henvy tour
isty business which has been attracted
by the remarkably low rates now rul
ing. The fare from St. Paul to Port
land (Ore.) is now at 510 net, a rate that
is maiklng all the business the road can
handle. The cut was caused1 by the pol
icy of the Canadian Pacific.
Railroad* Ice Rill".
Among the many expenses borne by
railroad companies the ice bill figures
quite prominently. For instance, on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad it Is expected
