THE TRAGIC DEATH OF
LITTLE TEDDYRUMIVIELL
A Great Shock to the Parents,
Who Were Former Residents
of Cass County.
The following account of tho
tragic death of little Teddy Hum
mel!, the son of Mr. and Mrs. M.
J. Rummell, residing near Heaver
City, is taken from the Beaver
City Times-Tribune, received by
Mrs. C. L. Herger, a cousin of
Mrs. Runimell, and it gives a
complete account of the terrible
lire that resulted in the death of
Ihe little one:
Seldom is a family called upon
to sustain a grief so sudden and
pathetic as that of Mr. and Mrs.
M. J. Hummel, who lost the pride
and hope of their household, when
Teddy, their sweet baby lad, was
lost in the cruel Haines that he
himself had kindled in the barn.
The awful calamity occurred at
10 o'clock in the morning, and
Ihe barn and adjoining buildings
were enveloped in Haines before
the household know of any danger.
Afterward in the ruins the char
red remains of the darling fellow
were found almost beyond
recognition so cruel and com
plete had been the work of the
wicked Harries. Teddy, only i
years old, had been playing about
the house and yard, and it is sup
posed that in some manner he se
cured matches, and had started
the lire in tin straw contained in
the upper part of the barn. Kx
aclly what happened will never
be known. The family and the
neighbors who gathered were un
able to stay the flames, and the
building and contents, consisting
of live head of horses, hay, grain,
harness, etc., were entirely con
sumed. Al first it was thought
possible that Teddy hail wandered
down to the creek or was at play
about the place, and had not per
ished. Vane hope. When the
smoke had cleared away all that
was left was rescued and taken
to the home made so fearfully
bereaved.
Theodore denrge Hummel,
youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. M.
J. Hummel, died at the home of
his parents Saturday, the 25th
day of May, 1913, at the age of 4
years, 3 months and 23 days. He
was baptized in infancy in the
Lutheran church, and was a
member of the t'nion Sunday
school at Precept. The funeral
took place from Precept church
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in
the presence of relatives and a
large company of sympathizing
friends, far beyond the accom
modation of Ihe church. The
services were conducted in Ger
man by Rev. G. Klatt of Stamford,
and in English by Rev. J. W.
Pressly of Heaver City. A strange
tenderness prevailed in Ihe audi
ence during the entire service.
This was not due alone to the
tragic cause of Teddy's death, but
because all realized that a little
life of unusual brightness and
beauty had gone out from their
midst. Yet, in all there was a
sweet tenderness and assurance
that the little sunbeam of the
home and community had gone
but to rise on a fairer shore.
There was great sadness because
darkness had entered a happy
home, a shadow had fallen on lov
ing hearts, a voice full of joy and
gladness had been hushed to
earth, but when a company of his
little rriends and playmates sang
"Jesus Wauls Me for a Sunbeam"
all realized that tin' sorrow was
this side of Ihe grave. Following
the services the body was borne lo
Maple Creek cemetery, where, in
a grave of pure while by the side
of a large mound of flowers, the
body was tenderly laid away.

MEETING ATTHE LARGE
SUNDAY C
Notwithstanding Ihe coolness
of the evening and ihe un
auspiciousness of the circum
stances attending the getting to
the services, the large tent was
comfortably filled with those
anxious to hear tho good music
and listen to the message which
was delivered by Rev. G. C. Smith
last evening. There were over
500 who attended Ihe services
and the chorus numbered over
sixty who took part in the sing
ing. While up to this time the
weather has not been such as was
desired by the management, the
crowds and the interest, manifest
ed was such last evening as
pleased all concerned. Prof. Gil
more and Walter Klinger had a
duet as a special number, and
with Rev. Smith, a trio which
were very pleasing features of the
evening's entertainment.
The announcements which Rev.
Smith delivered contained this
gist of facts, that the meetings
would be continued from night to
nighl, and all the week except
Saturday evening, and that, on
four afternoons during the week,
Monday and Saturday excepted,
there would be afternoon meet
ings, in which the study of the
bible would be the main feature.
Rev. Smith especially iniled the
men to attend Ibis evening, as
he said thai Monday evening's
would be men's nighl, and that a
feature of the . Monday evening
meetings would be that it would
be more musical than those of
Ihe other evenings.
The subject last, evening was,
"Christ All in All," and the text
was sang by Rev. Smith. Then
came his address, which was re
ceived with much interest by the
large crowd. While the evening
was very cool within the lent, af
ter it was well tilled with people
it became more comfortable.
All are invited to these meet
ings, ami everyone, whatever his
belief or position, will be treated
with the utmost fairness.
Union Meeting Announcements
At the big lent tonight Rev.
Smith's subject will be "Witness
ing for Christ." He announces
that his Monday evening services
are always Ihe brightest and best,
and that the llnest music is al
ways on Monday nighl. This
evening Ihe big choir will sing
Gabriel's famous song, "All Hail
Immanuel," and Smith and Gil-
niore will sing wThe Savour
Calls," to Ihe I one of "Larboard
Watch," Ihe well known tenor
bass duet. Tomorrow will be
Hible day. At 3:30 the beginning
of the afternoon services, the
subject being', "How to Study tho
Hible for (5rowl.li." and at the
evening service Ihe subject will
be "May We Know That the Ilible
Is True?" Music appropriate
will be rendered.
Attends Class Play.
There was quite a number of
Plattsmoulh people in attendance
today at Ihe class play given by
the graduating class of llellevue
college this afternoon in the largt
natural amphitheater al the col
lege. The play this year is en
titled "Soangalaha," and is a
story of Indian life. The Sunday
school classes of Mrs. I). C. Mor

During the month of April a
man named 1). K. Riley was
in this city and xicinity writing
health and life insurance for the
National Fidelity and Casuality
company and was very success
ful in securing quite a number of
applications, together with the
fees. He sent several of the ap
plications in to the company, it is
claimed, without the fees that had
be. -n paid, and in several cases
kepi both the application and
money and Ihe company finally
got wind of the all'air and notified
the county attorney and a war
rant was issued for his arrest on
a charge of embezzlement, the
exact sum of which has not been
fully unearthed by the company,
and a special representative will
be here today to look the matter
up and discover the exact amount
of money taken by the man. Riley
was arrested at Nelson, Neb., and
vill be brought back hero for a
preliminary hearing. If Ihe sum
embezzled is large enough he will
probably receive quite a severe
sentence.

Dallas, Tex a 8.
June 8.-The wide
ly known PaHtor
C. T. Russell,
spoke twice here
today. We report
his discourse from
the words of St.
Paul, "If we deny
llira, lie also will
deny us." (2 Tim
othy 2:12.) The
address which xve
are not reporting
was the more pub
lic one. The Tastor is in the sixties,
white-haired, and of kindly, earnest
speech which convinces the hearer of
bis sincerity. lie said:
One of old prayed, "Give me neither
poverty nor riches; lest I be full,
and deny Thee, and say, Who is tho
Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and
take the name of the Lord my God In
vain." (Proverbs 30:8, 0.) Great riches
have come to the world within the
past sixty years, especially in Europe
and America. Instead of tho hearts of
the prosperous uplifting with gratitude
to God, the tendency seems to be away
from God. and especially away from
Ills Son, and away from all special
thought of a share In Ills redemptive
work, or a need of it. The pleasures
of this life crowd out all pleasure
In respect to future hopes and pros
pects. There was a time when miserliness
and hoarding seemed to have control
of nil business men. But with the
growth of xvealth have come saner and
more reasonable views of justice. The
folly of merely accumulating money
and leaving It to others to squander
has impressed men of wealth. The
rich of America and Europe are giving
themselves more leisure in the prime
of life, and giving room for others to
take their places in tho commercial
world. However, especially In Ameri
ca, there seems to be a restlessness
which, turned aside from business,
leads into headlong pleasure-seeking.
It cannot be disputed that activity Is
life, that inactivity spells death. None
could xvlsh that our great business men
would become sluggards. Our wish
should rather be that their maturer
years might be gratuitously devoted to
the promotion of philanthropic plans
for the aid of the lower classes, along
social and economic lines. It is our
conviction that millions of money be
sides their oxvn would flow into such
hands for disbursement along broadly
economic lines. The motives would
be distrusted unless the projects were
conducted on the highest plane of be
nevolence, with open accounts.
There Is room for such benevolences
In every land, but nowhere Is It more
needed than In countries tinder British
and American control where commer
cialism has absorbed some of the ablest
talent leaving comparatively little op
portunity for the less progressive. All
over Great Britain and in nearly every
state of the Union there are splendid
opportunities for such beneficent
works. When these civilized lands
have been blessed, there are the teem
ing millions In India, which merely
exist under conditions not fit for a
good dog.
All these are our brethren of the one
blood. St Paul declares. No one will
dispute the necessities of the case. The
sympathetic are greatly appalled with
the thought of the amount of money
and labor that would be necessary to
cope with the conditions. Methlnks
that Heaven looks Interestedly on to
note how our showers of blessings and
riche are affecting our hearts, said the
Pastor.
The Responsibility of Knowledge and
Riches.
I am not Judging the wealthy. I am
merely sounding a note of warning, as
the Apostle Paul urged, saying, Warn
those who are rich in this world that
they.tnist not In uncertain riches. (1
Timothy 6:17.) I believe that amongst
the rich there are many noble, benevo
lent Christian hearts which are in per
plexity as to what to do or not to do.
with their time ond their riches. I am
merely offering suggestions based upon
my observation In all parts of the
world. The need Is tremendous.
It seems to me that tho Lord, In
pouring upon the professed Christian
people so great wenlth as has come to
them in recent years, Is proving them,
testing then). Inasmuch as they do
or do not do according to their oppor
tunities and Judgment, they will hear
or not hear the Master's "Well done,
thou good and fnlthful servant" Let
us make no mistake. The poor and
less prosperous nnd less educated are
fast following tho example set by the
satisfied. Pleasure-seeking is the trend
of the whole world. God is being for
gotten by the poorer, as well as by the
wealthier, BDd the end of the lane Is
M
not far off "a time of trouble such as
never was since there was a nation"
world-wide anarchy.-Daniel 12:1.
Churchianity Not Christianity.
With the awakening of true Christianity-heart
Christianity has come
a substitute: namely. Churekluuity.
For years Christian faith has been
gradually declining, under the attacks
of Higher Criticism, Evolution, and un
der the neutralizing Influence of the
love of pleasure. Gradually one Bible
doctrine after uuother has been quietly
dropped, while Churchianity has been
brought to the front more and more as
a form of godliness, but xvholly desti
tute of its power.
Conditions In Great Britain and
America are serious Indeed, yet not to
be compared with the conditions of the
Germanic "and Latin nations. In
France probably not more than two per
cent of the population have any real
faith, in Germany probably less than
ten percent. In America probably not
more than twenty per cent., and in
Great Britain probably not more than
thirty per cent, still trust In the living
God. nnd a still smaller per cent, re
gard tho Bible as Ills Inspired Message,
and seek to be guided thereby. How
short a distance the world has to go to
Ignore It entirely!
Are the Masses Not Christiansf
To the question, the Pastor said, two
ansxvers might be given: one answer
might be that all civilized people claim
to bo Christians. In other words, the
term Christianity has been substituted
for civilization In the minds of the peo
ple. As one gentleman replied to this
question: "We are certainly not Jews,
nor heathens, I reckon therefore xve
must be Christians."
The other answer to the question,
the Pastor said, was that n Christian
Is one who professes to believe the
teachings of Jesus nnd Ills Apostles,
and who professes consecration, In his
dally life follow ing those teachings and
the example which illustrated them.
This, the Master's view of Christian
ity, and tho Apostolic vlexv. the Pastor
declared to be his oxvn view. Let us
see, ho said, to xvhat extent the teach
ings of Christ nnd the teachings of the
Blblo are still believed.
Uoxv few believe that Jesus existed
as a spirit being before He was born
of n virgin in order to becomo the
"Man Christ Jesus" In order to be
qualified to give Ills lire a Itansom
price for the forfeited life of Adam!
How few believe that He really did
die at all! What the majority believe
on the subject seems to be that He
merely appeared to die on the cross,
but really was as much nllve as ever
In some spiritual sense. How few be
lieve that lie really arose on tho third
day the majority seemingly believing
that In some way the Bible account is
untrue; and that if Jesus uroso at nil,
He experienced that resurrection on
the cross!-Luke 24:40; Acts 10:40.
Or coming down to tho effect of
Christ's death ns respects the forgive
ness of sins,, said the.Pastor, how few
have any serious conviction that they
need a Savior, or that they could not
come to God. if they wished to, without
a Redeemer, xvlthout a sacrifice, with
out nn Advocate with the Father! It
would appear as though the attempt of
tho last fifty years to ignore doctrines.
Instead of correcting the doctrines of
the past In the present light on the Bi
ble bus been n great mistake, which is
noxv bearing Its Injurious fruit In that
very few Christian people know defi
nitely what they believe or xvhnt the
Bible teaches on any subject.
The effect of all this on the rising
generation is disastrous. They see the
doctrines of all denominations discred
ited in pulpit and pew, and especially
in tho colleges. They perceive that the
Bible is classed with the creods. and Is
claimed to bo their foundation. This
Is the alarming mistake. The sooner
we get rid of the creeds of the Dark
Ages, the better for us. But if we
loso the Bible, are wo not In danger of
losing all that has tended to steady
our civilization the foundation of all
our faith and hope beyond the present
life?
The Loss Is Greater to Some.
The majority of mankind, with
strong animal tendencies which need
to be curbed, require an incentive for
that curbing. Such an Incentive the
Bible gives in Its promise of everlast
ing life. But the misstatement of our
creeds Is, that all have eternal life with
out the LIfe-glver, and that the ques
tion merely Is whether we will spend
that eternal life in Joy or In misery.
This proposition has become so trans
parently Illogical that it is generally re
pudiated. Human Justice fails to ap
preciate as Justice at all an arrange
ment which would create a race with
the foreknowledge and fore-Intention
that nearly all of that race Would suf
fer torture throughout eternity. In pro
portion as that theory advocated In the
creeds of the Dark Ages Is still pro
claimed, In that same proportion Intel
ligent minds repudiate everything, and
denounce all religious teachings as
priestcraft.
The average man needs the Message
of life and hope which the Gospel
holds out for him In the future In or
der to make the trials, the discourage
ments and the sorrows of the present
life endurable, and In order that these
may operate In him, may serve him as
lessons in character-development.
In Kingston, Jamaica, I learned that
class distinctions, hatred and animos
ity are growing, nnd that tho minis
ters of the Christian Churches there
are having more and more difficulty In
maintaining an interest In religious
matters, more and more difficulty In
securing audiences. Yet xvhen my sub
ject was announced. Indicating a hope
beyond tho grave. Kingston's largest
auditorium was packed solid, nearly as
many standing as had scats, and as
many more were turned a way about
four thousand altogether. The local
rlergy were astonished, and tried to
account for such wonderful Interest la
religion.
Finally the minister of the Anglican
Church remarked to the Presby teriau
minister and myself that the secret of
the matter lay in the fact that I was
preaching to the people a Gospel of
Hope. I quite agreed with this, and
trust that the ministers In Kingston
may be encouraged to proclaim the
same God of Love, the same Gospel of
Hope beyond the grave a hope for
the saintly of becoming Joint-heirs with
Christ in His Kingdom; a hope for the
remainder of the race, that they will
receive ouly Just and reasonable
stripes, or punishments for sins, pro
portionate to their xvll fulness and
that withal the Lord's arrangement is
graciously to grant all mankind an op
portunity of restoration to human per
fection In a world-wide Eden. All this
Is to be brought about .through Mes
siah's Kingdom, and that Klngdoiajis
nigh, even at the door.
The New Factor Education.
The Pastor declared that he well un
derstands the attitude of the rich and
the learned, uud how they discount the
prospects of a soclnl revolution. Rea
soning by analogy from the world's
experiences in the past many of the
worldly-xvise say, "We are amenable
to the iuws, and the laws will uphold
us and will take care of thoso disposed
to anarchy. Revolution may not come:
tho struggle may be altogether avoid
ed; but if It come to the worst, brains
and money will surely rule. If it shall
be necessary to shoot down in cold
blood some of the nnnrchlcally disposed,
we shall be sorry, but we seo no other
way. We see no reason for worry,
however, nor for especially changing
our course. The pages or history sup
port us In this vlexv."
These able rcasoners seem generally
to forget that In one respect the peo
ple of the present time differ material
ly from the people of times gone by.
In olden times tho people were unedu
cated, and incapable of anything with
out able leadership. Indeed, the few
educated ones xverc often honored
slaves, possessed of no political Influ
ence or opportunity. All this Is chang
ed noxx. Tho mnsses are not only able
to read and write, and capable of ex
ercising their reasoning faculties, but
they are alert as never before In the
world's history. They, too. arc acquis
itive and ambitious.
The history of the past has Informed
them of hoxv some of tho greatest es
tates came Into the hands of those
who now hold them. Instead of being
thankful for their wonderful blessings
and privileges, they are unthankful,
unhappy, greedy for more, Just as are
tho successful, who have already got
ten possession of much of the earth,
and of much of the power to use It.
and of the channels of trade, etc. Un
restrained by tho fears of hell or purga
tory, xvhich once restrained to somo
extent their forefathers, these need the
Gospel of Hope Ihe very Message
which the Bible provides for them.
The Lord's Gospel 'of flope' tothe
world Is now due, and all of God's peo
ple should be prompt to herald it It
Is this Gospel of Hope for humanity
that was symbolically represented In
the Jubilee- year which God provided
for typical Israel. As at the begin
ning of thnt year the priests were to
announce tho Jubilee by blowing upon
Bllvor trumpets, ho noxv the antl
typlcal Jubilee the Times of Restitu
tion, Messiah's Kingdom-should be
announced by all the antityplcnl
priests, and will be announced by
these. Is It asked. Who are theso anti
typical priests? We reply In the lan
guage of St Peter, "Ye are a Royal
Priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; thnt ye should show forth the
praises of Him who hath called you
out of darkness Into His marvelous
IIght"-l Peter 2:9.
In other words, the Royal Priesthood
are the true, saintly people of God, not
of sectarianism and the creeds and
churchianity. They are not a clerical
class, although, thank God! some of
the clergy may be amongst them. We
are to remember, however, that God
never bus recognized the distinction
of clergy nnd laity amongst Ills people.
That was a human arrangement which
has done much harm. All of God's
consecrated people are Ills priests.
A Curse Precedes the Blessing.
Let me urge upon all the ministers
and servants of Christ and that in
cludes every consecrated child of God
that both the duty and the privilege
of blowing the Jubilee Trumpet Is ours.
Whoever recognizes the present situa
tion as we have today outlined it, must
feel that the duty Is an urgent one.
Let us not deny the Lord, either In
word or doctrine or conduct, but let
us confess Him In all these ways. Let
us more and more appreciate the glo
rious Gospel of Love Divine which
has. during this Age, been calling ttf
Church out from amongst the world
under "exceeding great and precious
promises," and let us correspondingly
appreciate the grand outcome of this
Divine rinn the Messianic Kingdom
Let all who believe In that Kingdom
co-operate with It In giving tho Mes
sage of hope to the world in general.
It is a great privilege to thus show
forth the praises of the great King,
our Redeemer, and soon to be our
Bridegroom. It Is a great privilege to
lay down all that xvo have in co-openK
tlon with Him and Ills work.
The Apostle addresses the Church
who have already confessed Christ
and whom Jesus has already acknowl
edged. His words are full of Import
If we deny our Lord, If we cease to
be nis followers. If we repudiate His
Causo, if xve prove disloyal to It, He
will disown us and repudiate ns. He
will not grant ns the great privilege
of being His associates In that King
dom. For according to the Father's
arrangement that honor is reserved for
the faithful who follow the Redeemer
through evil report as well as through
good report-through sacrifice to glory.
