SPORE FOR EPWORIfl LEAGUE
Dr , Eandenon'a Addrets on Eixth Anniver
sary of the Founding of the Society.
ORGANIZED IN RESPONSE TO A NEED
Something of tlio Kind NcctMnrj In the
Currying ForwRril of ItellRloni Work
111 an Age Wlilch li the Age
of Young People.
Last evening was a special one for the
Epworth League at Trinity Methodist church ,
It being the sixth anniversary of the found
ing of the society. Rev. Dr. Sanderson , the
pastor , In speaking about the work of the
league , said In part :
"If children , as Archbishop Wlmtcley epl-
grammatlcally says , arc the tomorrow of so
ciety , our young people are the today of the
church. This stupendous fact confronted our
denomination for years , and six years ago
at Cleveland the Epworth League was or
ganized. In all the wealth of nomenclature
at command no more felicitous title could
have been selected. And although John
Wesley was born In Epworth rectory , and
In subsequent life said : 'I desire to form a
league , offensive and defensive , with every
soldier of Jesus Christ , ' yet our name after
all came through a trip In speech. One of
the organizers meant to say the Oxford
League and the Epworth Hymnal , but by a
blunder spoke of the Oxford Hymnal and the
Epworth League. The convention caught H
up eagerly and baptized our young people's
society as the Epworth League.
"The Epworth League movement Is the
most popular and marvelous movement In
the history of our church. It sprang up ,
like Richard the Third , with a double row
of teeth all around , and It never put on the
long clothes of the Infant. H leaped Into
existence like Pallao-Athene , clad In Pauline
armor. Its stride across the continent has
been like that of a giant , and today we
have registered 14,719 chapters nnd an en
rollment of 800,000 members. The Epworth
Herald , the official organ of the league , and
a unique departure In religious Journalism ,
has a circulation of over 85,000 , and expects
next month to reach the high-water mark
of 100,000. Our motto Is 'Look Up , Lift Up , '
and our object Is 'to promote Intelligent and
loyal piety In young members and friends
of the church ; to aid them In the attain
ment of purity of heart and In constant
growth In grace , and to train them In works
of mercy and help. '
"The work of the league Is carried on
under six departments the departments of
Christian woik , mercy and help , literary ,
entertainment , correspondence and finance.
This Is the age of young people , an age of
prominence , Importance and usefulness for
them as In no previous era. Young people
today are prominent In all walks of life ,
political , scientific , commercial , literary , so
cial and religious. The church which Is to
toke hold of our times must care for the
young. This Is emphatically the age of or
ganization , so we band our young people
together within the pale and authority of the
church. A mob and an army are composed
of the same clement , yet a disciplined com
pany of a hundred men can iuell an unor
ganized crowd of a thousand rioters. The
most perilous , menacing element of society
Is our untrained youth. Penitentiaries yawn
to receive them. Seventy-live per cent of
the young men of America do not attend
church.
"Tho eminent Englishman , W. T. Stead ,
made this coarse and terrific , and , wo hope ,
false arraignment of some American youths
ho had seen : 'Mure detestable samples of
unredeemed , vulgar , human selllshncss than
some of the unllckcd cubs of the American
republic it would be hard to find under the
sun. ' O , for a blast of that dread horn , on
Fortarabian echoes borne , to bring young
men to church ! John Fletcher used to ring
a handbell all over Mudcloy toako up the
people for the 5 o'clock morning service.
But how few churches arc filled at midday
or at eventide I Of Dr. Hatfleld It was said
that he filled his church by filling his pul
pit. But that docs not apply to all localities.
More Is needed than an able -pulpit , though
It were Bcechcrlan or Spurgconlc. Epworth
Leaguers should bo recruiting sergeants for
the Lord's army. The movement of the
Epworth League had Its origin In the as
sumption that there Is work for young Chris
tians.
"On the coast of Normandy a woman , with
her child In her arms , once became Imbedded
In a stretch of quicksand , and could not get
free. A wagon drawn by strong horses was
sent to the rescue and sank In the treach
erous sands. All means tried fulled. At last
a light-footed boy was sent speeding over the
sands with a life Hue , and mother and child
wore saved. The Epworth League Is that
llght-footo I boy , where the heavy ecclesias
tical wagon sinks by Its-own weight. "
BIAA'S Tlllliuri ; TO MAMMON.
Rev. T. i : . Crnmlilct Dencrlhps the Curse of
the UrriMi for Hold.
"Money and Morals" was the theme of the
discourse of Rev. T. E. Cramblet at the
First Christian church last evening. Said
he :
"Reformers and philanthropists talk none
too loudly of the sins of our time , and yel
many of them full to discern the relation ol
money loving to these sins. It Is the clt >
that Is a menace to the state. Cities are
aggregations of people for commercial ad >
vantages. Men gather In centers that thej
may with greater facility barter and sell
Proper and legitimate transactions arc sutil
to the lowest level of greed and selfishness
The distinctly causal evil of the city Ii
jnemmonlsin. Nine-tenths of the sins o
man ngalnst man , ns well as of man agalns
his creator , are directly traceable to tin
power ol mammon. It would bo vastly bet
tcr for men everywhere If money did no
occupy such a disproportionate place In thel
thoughts and desires.
How many , how varied , the crimes whlcl
attend the servitude of money ! For It , mci
alike , rich and poor , have been ready ti
ninko all their lives n lln to themselves am
a fraud upon their neighbors. It leads t
dishonesty of every rank and falsehood o
every kind. The reckless greed of gain ha
driven more men away from Christ thai
any other passion. For gold men have be
traytd their country , their friends , thcl
Gcd , and their Immortal rouls. It Is a ver
Impressive and significant fact that the mos
heartless and contemptible act of treacher
ever committed an act which has excllei
the horror and disgust of all the ages-
Bhould have been duo to the selfish desire o
a miserable and covetous man to secur
thirty pieces of silver. Judas Iscarlot wa
rot a degraded protllgate ho was a dlsclpl
with a character , no doubt , of the utmo ;
dfdlcacy and respectability. He may hnv
been alluded to as a shrewd , practical , hard
headed man of business. But It was tha
little bag of money which led to his sin , hi
suicide , and his destruction.
Tte love of money degrades character. W
have all seen thn man who has becom
rich at the sacrifice of his noble self. II
has hugged his wealth , set his heart upon i
until the miserly and covetous spirit ha
paralyzed his very soul and his life , as
consequence , has become a hideous nlghi
mare , a foul sepulchre , a long spell of hope
less servitude. He has given up his life t
the pursuit of wealth , and lu so doing , th
man has been utterly lost In the machlm
He has cultivated no lofty tastes , formed n
healthy habits. Indulged In no Christ )
beneficence , and yet all the money In th
world cannot compensate for a wreckc
character , a starved soul , a narrow mind ,
limited outlook and a life that confers r
blessing on humanity , The supreme desli
lor wealth produces misery , rather than haj
plnets , even when the desire Is reallzci
For mammon , the churl Nabal threw awi
his life. For mammon Aclmn sold his who
houac. For mammon Balsam profaned tl
vestal fires of prophecy , Simon Magua wlshc
te tamper with holy things. Annanlas He
to the Holy Spirit. For gold men steal , an
rob , and break open houses and commit a :
faults and murders , and become the terroi
nnd the scourge * of society. For gold me
forge and cheat and , start bubble companle
and tamper with securities , and snatch It
support of the widow and steal the brca
of thw fatherless. For gold they live t
trades and manufactures which 'are * tt
curse and destruction of mankind. For gel
they involve whole countries In the horroi
and crime * of war , For gold they toll tt
kouora ol their tons and sell their daugMei
Into glided misery. For gold they defraud
the laborer of his wages , and grind the t.iccs
of the poor , and wring the means of per
sonal luxury from rotting housed or In
famous puriulti. And yet from this money
no man hai ever r.Delved the ( lightest bene
fit of a high and noble kind. It has never
made any man happy or healthy or holy.
All of our llvei would be more rich toward
God , more peaceful , more upright , more con
tented , If we were wholly convinced that "A
man's life conilsleth not In the multitude
of the things that he possesseth. "
UT1I.ITV Or CONSTANT 8ACUIFICK
Sermon of Her , Frank \V. roster at Ini.
ninnuel Itnptlit Clinrch.
At Emanucl Daptlst church yesterday
morning Itev. Frank W. Foster spoke on
"The Spirit of Sacrifice , " his text being
"And three mighty men brake through the
host of the Philistines , and drew water out
of the welt of Bethlehem , that was by the
gate , and took It and brought It to David ;
nevertheless , ho would not drink thereof , but
pourid It out unto the Lord , " He said In
part :
Hero Is a double Instance of the subllmest
Keif-sacrifice. I know of no finer Illustration
of the heroic spirit. This triumvirate , pos
sessed with the spirit of their kins , were so
devoted that they would not hesitate at any
undertaking. At the risk of their lives they
cut their way through the closed ranks of
the enemy , climbed over the parapet , ran up
to the spring of waters , at the vry gate of
the city of liathlehom , and then , by a quick
maneuver , escaped from the line of the Phil
istines , and brought the coveted water to
their king.
Wo have the names of two of these men ,
Ablshal and Henalah. These men were the
closest friends of David , having been with
him when he was In the cave of Adullam.
David had no ability to reward them , for ,
trough he was anointed king , he was an exile ;
yet these n en were courageous and zealous
In their service.
David valued their spirit , even more than
hs did the water which they brought him
at such risk , and when ho looked on that
draught of water , It must have scorned to
him as the mot > t precious cup of water his
eyes had ever seen , and he said : "I will not
drink of this water , " but pound It out unto
the Lord.
A sacrifice means a gift ; not necessarily
a gift that ono needs to give , or that Is
needed by the one receiving It. God does not
ne d our gifts , but we need to make our
offerings unto Him. It Is not the valueof
the thing that Is given which makes the
worth of the sacrifice , but It la the value
of the giving.
The old Levltlcal law required that the
sacrifice should b ? both costly and the best
and It required that the people should offer
more than simply the cattle , and the fruits
and a tithe of their time. They were re
quired to bring unto the priests for the con
struction of the tabernacle the richest o ;
fabrics , "blue and purple , and bronze , am' '
sliver , and gold. " Was all this lavlshness
on the part of this people , who had lately
been slaves , In the embellishment of their
tabernacle for the purpose of showing forth
the glory of God ? They had seen the grea
river In Egypt flow to the sea , a river o
blood , at the command of God. They ha <
seen the silvery waves of the Red sea rol
over the Egyptians , horse and rider , as they
went down under the waters. They had seen
the flashing of the flre from heaven , when
the mountain burned , and they had seen the
golden splendor of heaven , when God cairo
down to receive unto Himself their earthl >
lawgiver. It was not to shadow forth to
those Israelites His glory. It was rather
that they might keep perpetually In mini
that they owed to Him , not the oxen an
fruits , and a part of their time , but that also
they must pay to him of their "treasures of
wisdom and beauty ; of the thought that In
vents , and the hand that labors ; of the
wealth of wood and the weight of stone , and
of the strength of Iron and the light of gold. "
Hut something else , also. God requires. The
letter of the Levltlcal law may Indeed be
fulfilled ; but all the tithes have not yet been
brought Into the houho of the Lord , until
wo liavj given Him the thankful worship
and offered unto Him the thankful sacrlllce
which He I ? entitled to.
The true spirit of sacrifice Is largely want
ing In the world at this day. We have a
commercial way of looking on what wo give
for churches or for charity and every sort
of benevolence. Selfishness has warped.our
characters ; selfishness leads us to be willing
to have others sacrifice ; makes us willing to
see others suffer , even , rather than sacrifice
a little ourselves.
There Is a reward In honest , loving sac
rifice , though this should not be urged as a
motive. Christ has said "It Is more blesssd
to give than to rec-lve , " but there Is a great
majority who are willing that others should
get the blessing , and they will , too. We
praise the hero. We envy the successful.
We covet th ? rich. Wo enjoy receiving.Ve
regret the sacrifice we have to make. The
spirit of sacrifice and of love- and of thanks
giving to God for the opportunity and abil
ity to practice self-sacrifice will give more
frhnds , more joy , more happiness and richer
blessings than the wealth of the world can
purchase. The odor from that spikenard
which Mary poured on the feet of Jesus Is
still wafted around the earth with every clr-
cu'.t of the sun.

"What Is your llfo worth ? " asked llev. Asa
Leard at the Knox Presbyterian church yes
terday morning , Ho continued :
Ask th > ) man who Is contemplating sulcld ? ,
and he will tell you his lifeIs not worth
much. It Is marvelous how many men
have1 n low estimate cf life these days , es
pecially their own lives. This may bo ac
counted for from the fact that they know
more about their own lives than of others.
A man must have a very worthless life when
he will deliberately try to blot It out. There
Is not a dumb bast on the earth but has a
better appreciation of Its own llfo than that.
Suicide appears to be quite the fad now.
Ilack of every filicide there are a few cer
tain facts. First , a false Idea of what living
' means.
If to live only means eat and drink and
laugh , then when you become a dyspeptic
you can neither eat nor drink nor laugh
with any relish , and your life Is a failure.
You had better die. The same may be said
of your dog. But God save us from such e
conception of living.
Again , there Is a mistaken Idea as Ic
what It Is to die. If , as some believe , dealt
means simply to be muffed out , like a can-
He , or turned off like a gas jet , If death end !
everything with us , then when things art
not to our liking here we had as well die
and stop. The same rray be said of youi
dog. Hut God save you and mo from such n
delusion about death.
What Is your life worth to the world :
That depends altogether on the scope of It
Do you simply take In yourself in your pur
poses and prospect ? ? If so , your life wll II
not be of very much value to the world.
In the heart of Africa , that heroic explorei
hears this argument , "Come home for a lit
tie while , all England waits to do you honor. '
Glancing about upon his dirk and helples
companions says , "I cannot leave m ;
work. " What was Livingston's life worth ti
the world ? Let Africa answer.
The higher we climb on the tower tin
wider the horizon , The man who would taki
In the whole world In the vision of his llfi
must get clear up to God.
We have fallen upon days when the grea
mare of men arc bent on material results
A man thinks he has accomplished nothlni
unless he can weigh the results on a pair o
scales , or measureIt In a bushel , or count 1
out In hundreds , or fence It In. To such :
re life the great question of "nMne/1 and "thine1
reP absorbs all others. Kind words go for nothIng
Pd.
d.y Ing only as they wilt give you a little ad
y vantage In a trade. Hope Is only valuabl
tie as It makes a man more trustworthy In th
ho eyes of his employer. When a life Is gov
cd erned by such principles do you think th
ed world Is likely to bo benefited much by It
This question will be very largely answers
In your estimate of your own life's worth t
TS yourself. If your hopes are for yourself only
en your efforts will be confined to yourself only
L'1 If your hopes sre for eternity , your effoit
ho.d will be for the good of humanity ,

Services at the Salvation ormy headquar-
ten yesterday were unusually Interesting and
prontablo to the band of worshipers who
dally pnrade the streets of the city , rain or
chine. Captain Qarabed , better known as
"Joe the Turk , " favored the audience both
morning and evening with an account of hla
novel experiences In Christian work. He ted
the exercises of the day , adding much to the
Interest of the meeting by his enthusiastic
presentation of the homely gospel truths.
The captain Is a staff officer of the army
and Is devoting his enegrles to reviving Us
Interests In various parts of the world. Con
verted ten years ago In San Francisco , he
has led an exciting life since. Twenty-three
times , ho Bays , he has been thrown Into
prison for the gospel's sake , and Is willing to
bo made a martyr of again. In Boston he
was confined seven days by the authorities
because they objected to having the gospel
preached by the Salvation army In the streets.
The walls of the barracks were emblazoned
by life-sized canvas paintings of the arrests
made of the captain while parading streets
In his Turkish costume. The authorities
seemed to take a special dlsllko to It , though
It Is on the whole quite picturesque.

noon. The burial service was said at the

In place of the usual preaching services
at the Congregational church this evening
there was a concert of sacred song given by
the church choir , assisted by Mrs. Casslus
Reynolds , Mrs. H. Blumcnthal and Miss

the organ and Will Fowler played several se
lections upon the cornet.
Fremont has ono less newspaper. Last
week Carl Wlsllcan obtained a Judgment
against J N , Kllllan for $162 for work and
labor , and late last evening the sheriff levied
on the plant of Kllllan's paper , the Ne
braska Dlene , to satisfy the Judgment. Most
of the material had been removed and there Is
not nearly enough left to satisfy the Judgment
and costs. Since the closing of the political
campaign last fall Kllllan's paper has been
running behind and the end has been
looked for for some time. Kllllan has an
other paper at Columbus and used a great
deal of the same maferlal In his Fremont
paper.

Meeting Last Nlgbt PitjUmlnary to Open

ADDRESS BY COLONEL IIOGELAND
lion-Imllvldnul Ufr&rU'llave Ilccomo Thoie
of National OrirttnlintlonMilcli
linn Secured llflpful I.rglilntlon
by tlra n State * .
At the First Methodist church the services
last night were placed In the hands of the
prominent members of the Boys' and Girls'
National Homo and Employment association ,
the state convention of which will open In
the Young Men's Christian association buildIng -
Ing next Thursday morning at 9 o'clock.
The principal address was made by Colonel
Alexander Hogeland , who Is better known
throughout the country as "the newsboys'
friend , " and Major Halford also said a few
words.
Colonel Hogeland stated that everybody
has some particular talent , and he found his
when , twenty-four years ago , he started the
movement to rescue homeless boys and girls.
Since that time he has labored In the work ,
and during the last fifteen years Incessantly.
At first hi ? reward consisted of calumny , but
he has succeeded In so educating the public
' .o the advantage of the work that he hopes
some person will be ready to nil his place
when he dies. The movement started In a
night school for homeless waifs twenty-four
years ago , and has culminated In the forma
tlon of the asioclation. This national body
has held seven annual meetings. In add !
tlon state association ! ) have been termed in
a number of states , Nebraska being one ol
them. While engaged In the work , Mr. Hol
land has himself found homes for over COO
children.
As soon as It wa ; plainly ascertained that
a real emergency existed for n work of the
kind It was decided to applto : legislatures
and municipal ixmles for assistance. Wltli
that object In view some six years ago Colonel
Hogeland drew up the five laws of the asso
ciation , which were approved at the annual
convention at St. Louis last December.
OBJECTS SOUGHT FOR.
The first law presents the proposition thai
all truant boys shall be sent to the associa
tion Instead of being taken to Jail ; the second
end compel * all children under 11 years of
ago to be off the streets after n o'clock , un
less accompanied by parents or are absent
by leave ; the third provides that all children
who are arrested shall be kept apart from
criminals ; the fourth provides for the estab
lishment of a free Intelligence office for find
ing employment and homes for homeless
children , and the fifth looks to the protectloi
of children from vicious and Immoral parents
These laws are to be presented to the legis
latures of the states for consideration.
Colonel Hogeland believed that by thus
providing for the wolfs of the city crlm *
would bo decreased. There are now In the
neighborhood of 10,000 children In reforma
torles. Of these a large percentage have
committed no crime , b t were sent there
simply because there- Was no other plac ? to
send them. Out of the whole number ninety
eight out of every 100 come from the cities
although two thirds of the ent'r ? population
of the United States live In the country. I
Is the duty of the association If possible to
discover the cause of this great difference In
the number of thos1 coming from the cltle
and the country , and to apply a remedy. A
an Instance of theeffect' of one of the laws
as a remedy , Mr. Hogelandcited the resul
of the second , which provides that children
shall not bo allowed on the streets after
o'clock , as It has been1 enforced In Nort
Platte during the last five years. During thr
two years prdvlousl to Its adoption fourth
children were sent to the reformatory. Sine
Us adoption not one has been sent. This la
has been adopted In twenty towns in th
state , and will thortly be In fore. In Slou
City , and several Minnesota towns will ailop
It. Wherever enforced there is a lessening
of crime among youth , and , moreover. It Is
a help to the fathsrs and mothers who are
unable to restrain their children , and thus
tends to build up homes.
HOW HE GOES ABOUT IT.
As to his methods , Mr. Hogeland said that
his first effort Is to attempt to counteract
the effect of the rtreet life of the waifs and
to bring himself Into sympathy with them.
Ho starts out by gathering together as many
of the waifs as he can and usually leads tlum
through the streets of the city In procession
for a mile or two before he talks to then" ' .
Ho has succeeded with the worst boys whom
the pollc * could do nothing with. Ho does
not think that the police have any business
In attempting to correct boys , as they do not
know how. In all cases a great deal of tact
Is necessary. Mr. Hogeland gave a number cf
Interesting anecJotts of his experience In res
cuing boys , Illustrating them with charts.
Major Halford followed Colonel Hogeland
In a bref | talk. In which he spoke highly of
the latter and his earnest work. He urged
the congregation to assUt him as much as
possible , saying that It could do so now with
out soiling broadcloth and velvet , as It was
bfcomlng fashionable. Both Major Halford l
and Colonel Hogeland Invited as many as 5
possible to attend the convention and to
offer any suggestions that would advance the
work.
Colonel Hogeland presented a little 5-year-
old girl whom ho had picked up and for whom
he wished to obtain a home , either temporary
e or permanent. The services clop-d with a
collection to defray the expenses of the
coming convention.

John Prude and William Johnson were
arrested by Detectives Hayes and Hudson
yesterday afternoon on pusplclon that they
were the men who attempted to rob the
safe In the store of Fredrlcksen & Davles ,
nt 1201 Howard street , on Saturday night ,
They were picked up In Hummer's grove ,
near Sheeley. As one of them had a nose
that had evidently been bruised recently ,
he was marked out as one of the burglars ,
It being concluded that he received lilt
bruise by meeting a telephone pole or some
building In his hurried escape.
On examination , however , it was con
cluded that they were not the men. Rotli
told a very straight story , saying that they
were miners from Clinton. Ind. , on theli
way to the Black Hills , They had come
to the city curly Saturday morning. AE
the papers found on their persons supported
their statements. It Is probable that they
will bo discharged from custody this morn-

FOR CRIMINAL ASSAULT.
Abrnlmni Lander t'at In Jull Snipoctotl of
Three C'rlnifi of the Hiime Kind.
Abraham W. Lauder , Forty-ninth nd Bur-
Icttc streets , was arrested about 6 o'clock
ast evening by Deputy Sheriff Roscnzwelg
or criminal assault. He was at once brought
down town and placed In a cell In the county
all.
all.The
The suspicion against the prisoner Is not
confined to one cate. As long ago as last
September the attention of the sheriff was
called to a case of criminal assault on Anna
Swanson , whose home Is at Forty-first and
zard streets. It was alleged that the crime
md been committed on the road through the
woods northeast of Benson by a man In a
buggy , a description of the man , horse , buggy
and harness being given.
Later another case was reported and the
same description was given , but the name of
: he complainant could not last night be
earned.
Finally last Thursday or Friday a young
lady , 20 years of age , was returning , home
along this road from school and asked a
strange man passing In a buggy for a ride.
He consented , and after being In company
with the girl a thort time attempted an out
rage , She resisted and fought fiercely. In
this struggle she tore part of the rim off her
assailant's hat. The deputy who made the
arrest was unable to give her name last
night or to state whether the assault was
successful.
The descriptions of the man as given by
all three of the girls were practically Identi
cal , but the arrest was made on that given
last. The way In which the hat was torn
was carefully told , the man described and the
horse , harness nnd buggy. It was said that
the buggy was one bearing yeast advertise
ments and that in It was a box such as yeast
Is usually carried In.
Fathers of the girls concluded that Lauder
was the man and accompanied the officer to
his home last evening. The man , the horse ,
the buggy and the harness corresponded to
the descriptions given. Lander Is a yeast
manufacturer , whose place of business Is at
506 South Tenth street , and when asked to
put on his hat It was found to be torn as
the latest complainant had said she had torn
that of the man with whom she had the
struggle.
Owing to these facts the parties who ac
companied Roscnzwelg were so positive that
the right man had been found that they
became very menacing and the deputy says
that he feared to take the prisoner out to
be seen by the girls , because he suspected
that If they Identified him violence might
be attempted against him. The girls will be
brought to the Jail this morning to sec him.
Lauder declares that ho Is innocent and has
no knowledge whatever of the circumstances
on which his arrest was made. He was ar
rested without a warrant.
