TWO SERMONS BY MBBEED

Old Friends and Admirers of the Distinguished Preacher Crowd to llearllim. In the Morning lie Talks of Christ, the Lost Friend, and in the Evening Speaks of Man 's Influence for Doins Good. There was a large audience at the First Presbyterian Church, yesterday forenoon, to see and hear its former pastor, the Kev. Myron W. Keed. of Denver. The pijlpit was covered with plants and flowers, and the music was as it should be for an Easter morning, the choir being lare and the musical selections admirably rendered, Mrs. Hammond, Miss Porter, Mr. Smith and Mr. Lipmaa singing the principal parts. Mr. Keed was presented, to '-he congregation by Dr. Haines in a few aptly chosen words as an old friend whom everyone would bo delighted to hear. Mr. Keed took as his text Mark viii,J$ 'Whosoever therefore shall bo ashamed of me and my words, of him also shall the 6on of man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his father with tho holy angels." Mr. Keed said tho very men who aid "can any good, thing come out of NazErethP will expect favorablo consideration on the day of judgment; they never did anything for Jesus, never gave him a cup of cold water, but they saw Him going about doing good. About the saddest thing in life is that tho right thing is not done at 1 he right time. "In one week in Scotland," Mr. Keed continued,"! saw three monuments to Kobert Bums: one in Edinburgh, one in Ayr and one in Dumfries. Hut here, in a letter written nine days before he died, 1 tind these words. 'Necessity compels mo to implore yon for live pounds, a haberdasher to whom I owo au account, taking it int'j his head that I am dying, has commenced a process, and will infallibly putmoinjaiL Do for God's sake send me that sum and that by return post.' If thero had been some way of giving the man, when alive, the cost of his monuments when he was dead, it would have been far better. Some way of commuting monuments into readj- cash is much to be desired. As with men, so with causes; when they are victorious they do not need any help. There is no good in being an Abolitionist now. Love a truth that has some risk in it. Do not fall in at the rear f the procession. Anybody can go into Quebec now. It was a splendid thing to go in with tho little army of Wolfe. The forlorn hopo is the thing to glory in. "Jesus, tho man needing food, and drink, and rest; needing company and encouragement, has come and gone. m A good many people had an opportunity to minister tr llim; very few did anything for Him. 1 think thero weroa good many iisciples in secret, and thoso who came by might. To do anything now for the human needs of Jesus is quite impossible. But His causo remains and the least of these. His brethren, remain. It is entirely possible to be ashamed of Jesus Christ now. We are forbidden to parade our piety, to pray on tho corners of the streets or to blow a horn when we do an alms. It is not necessary for a Christian stopping at a hotel to disturb the people in tho next room with his pravcrs. There is some holy boldness, so called, that is holy insolence. But tho American Protestant Christian as a rule keeps his? religion altogether too much to himself. If you go into a Koman Catholic church you will find people at prayers and they keep on praying and do not seem to be disturbed. But wo generally dislike to be found in an attitude of reverence. In a political campaign some one on a car, or in the corridor of a hotel, or on the deck of a steamboat attacks your I candidate. You, as a rule, say something. You let it be well understood on what side you are, what man you are for. If we were like that when Jesus' Christ is in question it would help. He was openly the friend of men. Now let men be openly His friends. There is a diversity of opinion as to a full definition of Jesus Christ. There is only one opinion as to His motive. He gave to us the first and absolute proof of love. 'He gave himself for us.' N ow we have the opportunity to do something for Him. He has, I am persuaded, a multitudo of select friends. Let them all speak. "What a comfort it would have been to Elijah, the lonely preacher of righteousness, if tho 7,000 had openly declared theniselves so that he would have known that he was not alone. The only way I have of knowing liod's thoughts toward me is by studying iny thoughts toward my children. I lo not want them to avoid me. I would like to have them proud to speak and writ the family name. We like to have a man stand up for his family, for his friend, for his city, for. his Hag. Jonathan will hear no slander on his friend David, even from his father, the kirg of Israel. There are probably as many definitions of Jesus Christ as there are people in this house, but -we all agree that Ho lived not for himSelf. It was no seltish scheme begun in the manger and finished on the cross. If we cannot agree on a long creed, let ns agree on a short one the short one of St, Peter, 'Lovest thon me? 'Lord, thou knowest I love Thee;' such a creed in practico will redeem the race, and quickly." Mr. Keed spoke of the crusader, who, with sixty pounds of arms and armor, in deadly heat, and thirst, and hunger, fought to win back to Christendom the empty grave of his Lord. He said it was a beautiful story, but it seemed like a wasted heToism. It is the living Christ we need, he said, and we need Him as much to-day as ever. Ihe burden of life was tho man Jesus loved and St. Paul was the man who loved Jesus. He did. He knew Him; he knew nothing else. He spoke for -Him in Corinth, Athens, Lphesns, Philippi, and in the house of Cavsar. He never was ashamed of his Master. St Paul, when he was dying, must have had tine thoughts. He had boen true and loyal. He said how he felt: T have fought a good tight; I have kept the faith.' There is nothing liner. To live along, day after day, true to kinsman, and friend, and country, and the good cause. All these things are eronped and personified to me in mankind s beat friend, the Lord Jesus Christ." Mr. Reed's Evening Sermon. If there had been any such turnout of people elsewhere than in a church people of all churches and of no church, peoplo of every condition in life and from every part of the city to see a man as the throng that gathered to see and hear Kev. Myron W. Keed, of Denver, at Plymouth Church, List night, it would bo perfectly proper to call it au ovation with a big 0. At a quarter before 8 o'clock the seating capacity had all been taken up, the aisles tilled with chairs and many people standing, both in the gallery and upon the main lloor. The doors were then closed upon hundreds unable to get in at all and who were forced to go elsewhere for spiritual food. As Mr. Keed, accompanied by Mr. McCulloch, stepped upon the platform to take his seat Prof. Paul Bahr, equal to the occasion, opened the thunder of the organ to the appropriate tune of "Auld Lang Syne." "Sympathy in Creation" was the subject of Mr. Keed's discourse, his text being I Cor., i, 4b': 'Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural, and afterward that which is spiritual." He said that sentiment and science, poetry and prose, seem to agree as to some things. "Last summer," ho continued, "I walked about Boston with a friend, and he said These trees in these streets seem o me to be cousins of mine.' He was bom there and so were they. Some of Jthem were planted by his grandfather. Tree and man had grown up together. There is an attcctiou of one for tho other. Whenever I visit Indianapolis I go around and call on an old elm on North Delaware street. Any calamity to that tree is a calamity to me. David says the young lions cry to God when they wander, lor lack of meat. There is a svmpathy between young lions and God, between the most low and tho Most High. St. Paul says 'the whole creation groaneth and travaileth together in paiu until now;' and St. John says that tho wholo creation bv and by will rejoice together. All's well that ends well. Yho Bible ends well. The Rtory of earth ends with a tumg. Kvervthing travaileth together. Everything is being born. Everything Millers birth, but and by all give thanks. As near aa'X

is as heavy in tne nineteenth century as it was in the lirst. "Some one says," said Air. Keed. in conclusion, "that St. John

can make it out the whole creation is on the march. 'Nothing walks with aimless feet "Emerson says, in effect, that a weed is the name of something the use of which is not yet discovered. When tho use is discovered the weed is promoted. It becomes a plant. This is a great century for discovering tho worth of the worthless. I have boon interested in tho Salvation Army. Their drum is generally out of tune, the music rude and crude, bHt relative' to the people who beat and blow, it is good music. 1 hero was a time when wo all loved noise. Let him who has gone along not despise him who is coming along. There is a . sympathy between the van of tho mighty column and the rear. What I am passing through now others have passed through before me; others will pass through after me. Every year you can read moro of David's psalms ami understand them. Of tho sympathy between man and his dumb companions, horses and dogs, and birds, there is no question. There is no question as to the affection between tho gardener and his flowers. I was present lately at a conversation between two violin experts. There were the violins, Ave of them, all older than any old man one of them as old as Columbus. No living thing could be taken up more tenderly than one of those things made of wood, and strings, and glue. No mother ever noted the good points of a baby with moro feeling. I have noticed a like tenderness in an Indian toward his birch canoe. When a man steps into it with his boots on it seems to hurt his feelings. I saw an artilleryman, on the war-ship Hartford, pat his gun alter he had made a good shot, as one would pat a dog after he had retrieved a duck. "Mnchof this sympathy with creatures and things below us can be accounted for; they are what they aro because wo made them so. The Shetland pony and the horso of Kentucky are not much alike. The difference is man-made. Tho Easter roses aro in size and color what man has made them. He has wrought well nigh miracles in apples, potatoes, in all fruits and grains, and loves these things because he made them. Nature is man's by virtue of his improvements. 'No man's land' becomes the land of the man who uses it and redeems it. All land not in uso is 'no man's land in my opinion. Science doesnot laugh at this childiiko sympathy, with the things below us. Science now states in cold prose what Wordsworth and Burns were singing long ago. There is a relationship between the plowman and the scared mouse in the held and tho wounded rabbit which limps by. The poet states his feelinc in tho re ationship. The scientist is slower than the poet, but he agrees with him. What did Christ mean when He said 'Consider tho lilies of the held, how they growT' If we knew how they grow wo could know how wo grow. We have got rid of gods many and worship one God; and now we must get rid of laws many and recognize ono law. "'Marvel not that I say unto you yo must be born from above.' I do not marvel at it. The teacher communicates something to his pupil; the truo teacher wakes something in the pupil. Arnold of Kugby waked boys up. lie descended upon them. They as boys of that school were born from above into men who now live, and do not play at living; who die and are not afraid to die. A good mother so descends upon her child. There are some people who talk as you walk with them, and your hearts burn. David Livingtone descended upon Africa. He so works upon

seven savages as to make heroes of them. He either made them or developed them. They bear his dead body from tho interior to Zanzibar, and ueverleave it until they commit it to an English ship, and then they vanish, not waiting for pay. They were months on the journey, where there are seven such black men there are more. There is a growing light in the Dark Continent. So Chalmers, Guthrie and McLeod descended upon the back streets of Glasgow and Edinburgh, and woke the people, who rose out of sleep, and rags, and shame to put on the upward look, and began to climb tho steep path to light and life. Some grace of God, in form of man or woman, found Jerry McCarty. of Water street, New York. He was a thief, the son of a thief, a convict and an ex-convict. I was in at his place. There hangs out into the street a sign, A helping hand for men.' Jerry, born from above, descended upon his people, and they wero born from above, and began to look up and climb. This is the history of the time. Some one in the fashion ot a man comes from above and condescends to men of low estate, and they rise up and walk." In conclusion Mr. Keed quoted imd commented upon Kobert Buchanan's poem, "Tom Dunstan," a modern Isaiah in a big London shoe factory: All day we sat in the heat, Like spiders spinning. Stitching full, fine and fleet. While old Moses on his seat bat greasily jrinniuK. And here Tom had his say, And prophesied tyranny's death; Ana the tallow burnt all day. And we stitched and stitched away, ' In the thick smoke of our breath; Weary, weary wero we, Our hearts as heavy as lead, But "patience, she's coming," said he, "Courage boys, wait and see; Freedom's ahead:" "Here is Tom Danstan," continued Mr. Keed;" the grim shop is lighted froinjabove because of his presence. Well, who lights Tom DunstauT Who gives him heart and hope to sing and. prophesy! Well, God lights him and he is born from above; and he descends upon the shop and it is born from above. The voice from heaven says Awake, thou that sleeDest, andfarise from the dead And the asleep and the dead are waking and risiug, and the wholo creation marches, and with an upward look." At the conclusion of the service a large number of persons came to the platform to shake hands with Mr. Keed. He has announced that he will leave this evening, but may be prevailed upon to remain a day or two longer. Tabernacle Church. . At tho annual congregational meeting of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, reports were submitted from tho various boards and societies, which show a most encouraging condition of the affairs of the church. Tho principal feature in the temporal -work during tho last year was the completion of tho chapel, a beautiful structure, bnilt in harmony with the mam church edifice. It is connected with the main auditorium by largo folding doors, and can conveniently be used as a gallery for church services, thus giving seating capacity for 1,500 people within easy hearing and seeing distance of the pulpit and choir. The chapel is specially arranged for Sab-bath-school purposes, having a large center room, with eight Bible-class rooms and a primary-class room surrounding. It is well adapted for small society and committee meetings, some of the Bible-class rooms being so arranged as to be used in connection, according to . the number of attendants. There has been a marked growth of tho church since its removal to the corner of Meridian and Second streets in December, 18S4. From a membership of SCO it has increased 1o 707. The additions have been G49, of which 148 were added last year. Since the church has occupied its present site it has contributed, for all purf oses. $09,780. of which sum $S.4.x was spent or benevolent objects, including the boards of the Presbyterian Church. For three years the Tabernacle had under its care a mission work on East Washington street, which, in February, 1SS8, was organized into a regular Presbyterian Church. At present the Tabernacle has two flourishj ing missions in Indianola and Mt. Jackson. A chapel ism contemplation for Mt. Jackson, which is expected to be completed during this 6eason. Tho Sunday-school numbers Utt, and this, with the two mission schools, gives 1,045 ns the Sabbath-school membership under the care of the church. The annual meeting last week, at tho recommendation of the board of trustees, advanced the salary of the pastor, Dr. Koudthaler, from $3,000 to $4,000. Centennial Representatives. Ex-Secretary of the Navy, K. W. Thompson, notified Governor Hovey last week that he would be unable to serve as one of the Indiana commissioners, at the centennial celebration in New York next week and the Governor appointed Attorneygeneral Miebener, to till the vacancy. Col. C. W. Fairbanks will also accompany the Governor ns an ollicial representative having been appointed under a resolution of the executive committco authorizing the executive of each Mates to bring with him one citizen of his State as a delegate. A marshal for this State is still to be an?ointedto assist in tho parade in New ork. on theuOth. Inst., and it is probable Col. N. K. Kuckle will serve in thatcapacity. The peculiar purifying nnd buildinz-np ?Qwcrs of Hood s Sarsaparilla make it the erjr best mctiicftta to take at this season

Special to the Inrtlanapolla Journal. ' Ox the Oklahoma Line, April 19, by Courier via Arkansas City, Aprtl 20. -The boomers are in sight of the. hi Dorado at last. After a march of throe days over tho muddy trails of the Cherokee strip, they halted at sundown within ono hundred yards of the beautiful land of the Chickasaws. Tho first glimpse of a harbor-light was never more welcome to a storm-tossed sailer than was the rolling green plain of Oklahoma to the hardy crews of the whitetopped prairie schooners. ; They entered it with cheers, and volleys of musketry, and other demonstrations of delight. Horsemen who have accompanied the long procession, and guides, spurred their ponies forward and dashed in upon tho soil which has been the happiest dream of their lives, but they were promptly escorted back to the wagons by Captain Hayes's troopers, and ordered to remain there until Monday. To-night the boomers aro having a glorious jubilation. The old soldiers have formed a marching line and are parading up and down the southern edge of the strip, singing war songs and discharging their revolvers and rifles. Following them is a crowd of between 2,000 and 3.000 men. women and children, who are doing all thev can to increase the confusion and make the din more deafening. At daylight the great camp will be struck and the wagons will begin moving east and west, so that by Snndav night they will bo evenly distributed on the Oklahoma line, in positions from which they can safely join in the great scramble which begins at noon Monday. The boomers aro hopeful and confident. They bave been together so long and have discussed their plans so many times that they think they know just how they aro going to proceed. Every man has a quarter section in his mind's eye, and when the starting signal is given ho will break for.it as fast as his horses will carry him. It is not unlikely that many cherished plans and hopes will be defeated during the scramble. There are men on the line tonight representing every element of wild W e8tern society, who have come across the strip to reserve claims. They have the fleetest ponies in the Territory, and as they are thoroughly acquainted with Oklahoma they have an advantage over the honest homesteaders which can hardly bo appreciated now. Bosides, they are all armed to the teeth and are boasting that they will not brook rivalry or opposition. These men mean to precipitate trouble. The march across the strip was compara tively uneventful. Some of the creeks, especially the Salt fork of the Arkansas, were very high, and delayed progress more or less, but the boomers, by careful piloting, cleared them all with ease. As they went down through the Ponca, Otoe and Osage reservations, hundreds of Indians gathered by. tho side of the trail and watched the wagons as they rolled by. The Indians were nearly all armed, and took occasion to make an ostentatious display of their Winchesters, shotguns and six-shooters. One greasy old buck, who had a shotgun, was approached by a pretty little girl, who timidly asked if he was going to kill, her papa. The Indian smiled at the child, and then, patting his gun, said with a grunt: "Kill turkev this; this for boomer." He took from nis pocket a Winchester cartridge long enough to fit a howitzer, and held It up for tho inspection of the child. She ran back to her papa's wagon and hastily climbed in between the canvas tlaps, while the old buck complacently returned the cartridge to his pocket, A greasier, dirtier or more contemptible crew of vagabonds than the Poucas, Otoes and Osagcs would be hard to tin d. Thev are too lazy even to hunt for the game with which the country abounds, and beyond stealing from neighboring tribes and drawing their quarterly rations from the government, they will do nothing, lhe rich soil of the reservations is unfilled and unimproved. Their chief ambition in life is to get to Arkansas City two or three times a year, and while thero drink whisky until the squaws have to load them bodily into wagons aud drive them home. Theso are the sort of neighbors the boomers will have on the north. Captain Hayes is riding the lino to-night, instructing tho boomers now to proceed on Honday. Every man will be permitted, to

Hundreds or. wagons aro still coming across tne strip, and others are still passing through Arkansas City. Mauy of them will arrive too late, as they cannot cross the strip in less than three days. Arkansas City. Kan.. Anril 20. The trains am vine hero from the east and north, to-day, brought in nearly 3,000 men, all of whom will leave for Oklahoma next Monday. Tho most of them are camping on the prairie, without shelter of any kind; Tho accommodations of this little town gave out a week ago, and everybody who arrives between now and Monday will have to experience their first taste of tho life they may expect to have to live in Oklahoma. Superintendent Turner, of the Santa Fe railroad, estimates that 15,000 moro boomors are on the road here, and he is making extensive preparations to furnish transportation for them all. Mr "Woilla TTnJttwl Ktntoa Tnnrsh.il of Indian Tcrritor3 has issued instructions to all his deputies to destroy every drop of liquor they may find in Oklahoma. Mr. ISeedles says Oklahoma is in tne Indian Territory, and that its residents will be amenable to Indian laws. General Merntt and four companies of infantry passed through hero this morning, en route from Fort Leavenworth to Oklahoma Citv. The General is under orders to police the Territory with his troops until the confusion incident to tho first rush is over. In an interview he said the soldiers would not temporize in performing their duty, "They are under positive orders to keep order aud quiet," he said, and they will obey at any cost." Boomers' wagons aro still passing through here from the north, and it begins to look as if many of them willarrivc at Oklahoma too lato to get a claim. The following ollicial notice was issued this evening by the Santa Fo Kailway Company: Arkansas Crrr, Arrii 20, 1889. On Monday, April 22, trains will ran as follows on tho Arkansas City Nc Purcell divisions: The first passenger train will leave Arkansas City at 8 o'clock a. 31. Other trains will follow liiteen minutes apart, until everybody is moved. Trains will stooat .Oklahoma line until nocm, and then move forward to destination as fast as safe. Trains will leave Turcell at 11:30 a.m. and cross the line at noon; then run to destination. The line is patrolled by troops. . Avery Turner, Division Superintendent. The Washington Centennial. , New York, .April 20. As to the indications of tho interest felt here in the centennial parade, the following facts are furnished: Despite the efforts of those in charge of the affair, speculators have socured tickets to tho main grand-stand in bunches of from twenty-live to two hundred. The prevailing price is now from $3 to $10 a ticket, but the holders are waiting uutilthe crowd is here, when they expect to sell tickets at $20 each. Mrs. Paran Stevens offered to allow a speculator to erect a stand in front of her house if he would pay a handsome consideration and allow her the use of the stand for herself and friends. A large window opposite the Brunswick Hotel was sold outright by a speculator to a gentleman for tho lirst day's parade for $500. In half an hour he had an offer of $1,000 for it. A gentleman who hires a building on Broadway, just above Fourteenth street, for $'1,000, said, to-day, that he had rented his windows facing Broadway for enough to pay his rent for the entire year. A speculator holds a window in tho big Cutting houso on Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth street, which isuow a store, and he will not listen to anything under $lO00 for tho window. Street-car and ice companies ore hiring horses they do not need on parade days for $7 each. New York, April 20. Mr. Frank 8.

After the review the President will leave for Washington on the 4:09 train. Boulanger Ordered to Move on. i-Brussels April 20. General Bonlanger has decided to leave Belgium. Ho will start for .London on Wednesday next. Geueral Boulangers decision is due to the warning piven bun by the government that if he did not leave the country he would bo expelled. M. Bonree, the French embassador, yesterday informed Prince de Chimay, Minister of Foreign ah airs, that the meeting of tho iioulanger committee m Brussels lra?ressed the Paris government unfavorably, 'he Cabinet thereupon sent an oflicial to the hotel at which General Bonlanger is stopping, to warn the General that he must leave Belgium of his own accord, or tho government would expel him. After consulting with M. Kochefort, General Boulanger c onsented to leave. The other Boulangist leaders in Brussels will accompany him. Paris, April CO. Concurrent to General Bonlanger s departure from Belgium, the Boulangists announce that they are determined not to interfere with the arrangements for tho Paris exhibition unless they are compelled to in self-defense. They say if the Senate committee of nine now investigating the Boniangist intrigues order vexatious researches and arrests of members of their party, even the exhibition will not hinder them in carrying on their agitations as vigorously as ever. General Bonlanger received a largo sum of money when he hVd to Brussels, and since his dcFarture this has been largely augmented by urther contributions which .are being sent him almost hourly. The Weldon Extradition Bill. Ottawa, April 20. In the Commons, to-day, on Sir John 1 hompson moving to transfer Mr. Weldon's bill to extend the extradition act to government offenders,Mr. Laurier suggested that, as the details of the measure would create considerable discussion, It bo not passed at this lato 6tago of tho BCKsion. Sir John Macdonald said thre was priat moral impatience on the part of the people of Canada to nut an end to the influx of rascality from tho United States. Cynics might say we had enough rascality of our own, hut it was well to tell the world that we don't want either these eople or their ill-gotten gains. He thought the iU bo unobjectionable that it would meet with little opposition, but if Its details were likely to lead to protracted 'debate, it would, then remain for the House to say what disposition should be made of it. Sir John Macdonald pointed out that both England and Canada were anxious to enlarge the list of extraditable oflenses, and that whatever delay had occurred In this direction was due to the action of the American authorities. He thought this bill could only take effect by proclamation, but held that by passing it a great moral object would le gained, as Canada woiUd thereby inform England and the United States that she was anxious to have the extradition treaty enlarged. It would have a beneficial effect by Informing United States defaulters that Cansda would not harbor them an hour if she could prevent It. Ho thought that the detaUs of the measure could be made acceptable to the House by an Informal discussion rather than by a set debate. Is April 30 a Legal Holiday? WAsnrNGTOjr, April 20. It has become the subject of Inquiry of much importance to the banking and mercantile interests whether the enduing 30th of April is such a public or legal holiday as Justinesxthe payment and presentation of maturing notes, bills of exchange, etc., on the next preceding or subsequent day. Hy an act of the last Congress the day is declared to be a national holiday, but tho usual provision is omitted making it, for commercial purine, the same as Sunday. In some of the States such a provision is made by general law, applicable to pucbdaya as are appointed by. the tiovemor of the State or the President of the United States viz.: 'Aday of fast and thanksgiving." The late J reclamation of the President, Issued the 4U nstuit, appoints a day of thanksgiving. There Is no invocation to thanksgiving further than is to be inrpUed neces-narily from the preamble stating the object of tho proclamation. This Is sufficient, however, to characterize the day and to fulfill the conditions of the State statutes before rclerrcd to. There would seem to bo no reason for doubt but that bankers may close their doors on that dar as on Sundays in the particular States and the District of Columbia, wherever general laws contain the provision before mentioned. The question has been presented to tho Solicitor of the Treasury with regard to national banks, rjid the foregoing Is in accordance with hi.- opinion, as expressed to the Comptroller of the Currency, Siice Trips for Senators.
