Ho chose hla text from John II , 24-25 , "Ho know all men and Jwiedod not that any should testify of man for ho know what was In man. " The speaker Bald In part : "This text IB an assertion of an entire knowledge ot nil that Is In all men. Christ's IcnawlodgT } of man never failed htm. hike tbo working of miracles , His Immediate dis cernment of men was on expression of Ills divinity. Thle perfect understanding of man enabled Him to truly Interpret manhood. those manly qualities of courage and brav- nrjr , honor ixml nobleness , dignity and resolution elution through Hio life take a meaning intelligible and familiar. He determines * ur Ideal of humanity. Hut , while subject to ft human development of life and earthly fcondlttons , Ho Is moro than our model. He Is our Saviour. Humility and magnanim ity , moetnras and resignation , charity nnd fltjlf-eaorlfloo wore unfolded by Ilia voluntary fiction oo an to make their meaning clear nnd plain to us. "In the consideration of Christ as the true Interpretation ot manhood , these things tony bo mentioned : Ho exemplifiesman's taotorlal nature by His own physical qual ities ; Ho exemplifies man's mental nature .by His own Intellectual endowment , nnd Mo exorapllflw man'a moral nature by His own etfcloal life. " In'thla connection the speaker called at tention to Christ's healthful endurance and Ills marvelous power to bear hardship without succumbing and to withstand ex- iroeuro. He was tlrelesa In His energy and linJtHla body In entire subjugation. "Like fth * Uon cowed by the eye of the trainer , " auld Mr. Kuhn , "the physical cravings for food and drink , although experienced , never Krore allowed the mastery.

"Bho marvelous Introspection and religious perspective of dhrlat seema to refute the theory ofhuman evolution from a lo-wer onixEol wltfoout the direct Intervention of Ood'u Trin.

Klninrc Tnkcn nn Ills Subject Trao Onrncd ! > > ClirlM. Hov. W. T. Efmoro of Ransomvllle , N. T. , occupied the pulpit of the First Daptlst church Sunday morning. The subject of his sermon \vns "Tho Mlraclo of the Fig Tree. " and the text was the two versos , Matthew , xxl , 18-19 , describing Christ's finding the tree barren and curelng It , The mlnlater said there was n time when for him the mlraclo presented three great difficulties. lie could not understand why Christ , knowing all things , should have gone to the tree to look for fruit uhen none was thcroj he could not Imagine a motive rocon- cllablo with the character of Christ for cursIng - Ing a tree , and although ho know there was a reason for every act of Christ's , ho could not dlHcern the significance In this Incident at the flg tree. Rev. Mr. Elmoro said that after careful thought ho had drawn several conclusions which ho toft would be helpful to the con gregation , lie said he considered the curs ing ot the fig tree a parable instead ot a mlraclo , for the reason lliat Christ went to the troB knowing no fruit was there , for the purpose ot teaching his disciples a leoaon. It Is difficult , the minister said , for those knowing the character and nature ot Christ to explain why ho should have cursed the tree , because It la hard to think of Him taking vengeance upon an Inanimate object Our blood bolls -when we BCD a man taking vengeance on an anhnol , and it seems al most Impossible that Christ , whose ways wore of love and Innocence , ehould curse a tree , yet It was done , but for what purpose ? Many Judgment mlraclca performed by Mown and Elijah can be recalled , but there Is only ono which Christ performed lu the whole ooureo of His ministry , and It IB that of the barren flg tree. Afterward , when He was surrounded by men wishing to take His life His disciples wished to call down the Ore of heaven on their heads , but Christ's reply was one partly of reproaiah at the suggcfttlon. Christ performed tills ono judgment mir acle to teach a losaon. There were two kinds of OK trees , both bearing fruit In the tall of the year , but one that did not put forth leave * until A week or so before the ap pearance of fruit. The other was green with leaves as early as spring , and it was to a tree of this kind that Christ -went as If to take figs from bsncath Us Fcnves. Here was a tree covered with loaves and , If Its ap pearance wae honest , there would be an abundance of fruit 'beneath ' them. No figs wore found and thin fact given a point to the Incident. The barren tree is typical ot men and na tions alike , and Jeaua did not have to spend much time explaining the parable. In the p.Rine way Ho had come to His own nation looking for fruit. The Jews apparently were ahead of all other nations in many respects. People of other countries visited the tem ples and synagogues , with their priests and magnificence , and eald to themselves here Is a race making great pretentlons , holding them- eclvoe aloof from other nations and advanc ing the religion of belief In one Qed and Im mortality. A nation like a tree spreading Its leaves pretentiously , and yet when Jesus lifted the leaves to look for fruit he found the tree barren. You have perhaps road the Invootlves of Cicero against Catallno and the inveotlvea of many a modern writer , but you will flnd In no language Invootlves comparafolo In ue verity to those of Josua when He found noth ing but leaves on the tree of the Jewish na tion. Thirty years after the prophecy the temple In Jerusalem was razed to the ground and nineteen centuries have neon the people ot the race scattered to all parts of the earth. MUSIC A PART OP CHIUSTIAXITY. Chrlnt'n 1,1 fe ilie Innplrntlon of Home of the GrnudeHt llnriuonleB. Rev. Mr. DUllncs of Marongo , 111 , , preached Sunday jnoralnff at Immanue ) Bapitist churoh , taking for his theme ttie part mutula plays &n our Christian religion and Its usefulness to Christians. Atheism , ho eald , hod no Bonca. Agnosticism was' never Bung. The Duddhtota had no song books nor Confucianism any hymnals. On the other hand th Christian rell km woe always expressible In song. When the blntii of the Savior was announced the angola did dt by moans of eongs , and thus in His coming into the world die Savior brougJit music with Him. The life of the Nazarene had boon the inspiration of some of the grandest oratlona over -written. The Christian rollglon inspires every one of Its bollevors to choorfMlness and song , except perhaps tlhoro Who have only enough of It to ( mbtoe them nulBoroble. There are too many homos in which ihe story of the old woman 'wbo ' complained when eho toll well that ehe vrast sure to feel worse the next day finds an illustration. There are ttiooe who frown nvihon everything about IB cunny and full of < Uio best cheer. We need to bo like the harip in the hands of the harpist who is 'tuning ' it ; wo need to bring ourselves Into suoh hanmony with fled that when struck we give forth as a chord from -woll-duned hiarp the sound , "Thy will ton done. " True , Jt takes courage to elng in the ntight , when all is darkness. It was easy tfor Paul and a very natural thing for htm to a\i\g \ In the congregations of his follnrwors , but on infinitely harder thing when ho waa a captive in the call , with his body scourged with countless stripes and hla feet in the utoclro. Yet there is no place eo dark that o. eong will not make It brighter ; no life on wlilch Christ canno * play and transform Into sons.

The congregation of the Central United Presbyterian church had the pleasure Sun day morning of listening to one of the most able aormoaa ttoat baa boon deHrer d In It * pulpit since the departure of Rev.

Of the twclvi npoBtlcn , six are mentioned only In th < briefest manner , nnd in few cases does th < scripture mention what finally became oi thnn. The book , contended the speaker , was writ ten solely that we might know Jesus Christ the Son of aod. Every book h&o its hero , and Christ 1 * the hero of the bible. It bean Ills personality on every page. Wo might b eaved even If we knew nothing ot Peter , oi James , or John , but salvation Is Impossible unices we know Christ. If God had wanted us to too worshipers of men ho would have given us a history of men In this book , bul all through the bible Jesus Christ Is the ono central figure that demands alt our at tention and adoration. The speaker also brought out the lesson that fame Is visionary while right living lethe the key to happiness and eternal life. II does not matter whether wo are remembered after our bones have mouldered If wo have put our hands to the plow and done what God wanted us to do. Men may forget , bul Qed never overlooks our meanest effort In His cause. Our names may not bo engrossed on the world's tablets of renown , but every worthy act will bo Inscribed In the book of life. It is not what men say of our work , but how much love for Christ wo put Into It that controls our destinies through otcrn- itr.

Domestic unhapplncss and despondency over the loss ot a position Impelled Christ Sherman , a Qormim formerly employed as a soollon boss on the .Union Pacific railroad , to end his awn Hfo Saturday under odd clrcumstancra. Drink was directly responsible for most of Sherman's troubles. It was because ot hla frequent eprees that ho lost his posi tion. Ho was an Industrious workman and might cnally have found employment elsewhere - whore , hla former boss told the I police , but Sherman decided life nvas too full of wor ries , so ho planned for a final spree , and his last net .before toppling off from the rlvor bank Into the muddy waters of the ailEsourl was to drain a flask of whisky. Several witnesses saw Sherman take the plunge Into the water , but had they been less certain the net was premeditated , mes sages left by the suicide to his children 'would ( be sufficient proof that It wns a case of self-dcetructlon and not. accident. Sherman married lary Lousburg In Coun cil Dlufts in 1891. For a jcar they had lived hpart , the husband's love of drink having caused the separation. Shermnn lost his position three weeks ago , and since that time ho bag 'be n on a continued spree. Friday afternoon Sherman passed the Ne braska Brewing company's saloon on Hick ory street bobween Second and Third and < * itchlns sight of a Rroup of friends within ehoutetl to thorn , "Ooodby , boys. " One ot the party called after him to ask him where ho was going and the answer came back "Going to h 1. " Sherman continued to "walk along Hickory street until he cnme to the rlvor bank. There ho rolled a log to the top of a steep Incline to the water's edge nnd sat down 'With his back to the river. Ho drew from 4ils pocket a Jlask of whisky and having uncorked It itook a. long pull. When the last drop was swallowed Sherman throw the flask away and at the name Instant throw himself over backwards , turning a back somersault Into the river. Where he disap peared the water Is twenty foot deep and the current swoops .like a mill race. A lad named EJlmor Havellok was paddling about In a sldff and saw Sherman topple over. He 'tried ' to reach the spot In time to beef of assistance In rescuing him , but Sher- man'a body never came to the surface. The police were notified nnd Officers Rloglcman and Savagp were sent to make an Investigation. In Sherman's house at 301 Walnut street they found a note to his children -wrlWen on the back of his marriage certificate. The message told of enough money due from the railroad company to pay several bills , and closed with a farewell. The neighbors sold Sherman had threatened often to drown himself.

While particularly , appropriate and pleasIng - Ing In every other 'way , the trill offered by the Woodward Stooge company for tie clos ing week of Its summer engagement In this city does not" Include In Its cost of characters the enitlre personnel of this splendid organisation and this fact Is bound to bo a disappointment to the many friends ot Uioee who have no place In this rwcok'n cost. However , It Is certain that nothing better than the dramatization of OuMa'a nvell known and popular drama "Moths" has been ( produced by the company and It baa doubtless Elven such a faultless performance of no other play dur ing Ita present engngement hero than the ones at Boyd's theater Sunday afternoon. The play tolls on Interesting story and Is full of dramaUo scenes and situations that are all splendKWy portrayed by the Wood ward company. The characters of the pleca are all strong ones and give the Individuals who portray ( them ample opportunity to dis play their dramatic ability and In each case rwaa It taken advantage of. Miss Keonark aa Voro Herbert did full Justice to the beautiful character of girlish purity and In nocence sacrificed by a heartless mother for the sake of gaining position and wealth , fflllss Gertrude Berkeley as Lady Dolly , toe fin do slecle mother , gave another of her faultless character Impersonaltlons. Mr. Em > s as Prince Zouroff gave a ( brilliant In terpretation of this thankless role of villainy. Willis Granger made a handsome Lord Jnra and acted the part with hla ueual cleverness. M/lss Dunn as Fuschla Leach , the American girl abroad , played the part with that uauaH touch of sweetness and daintiness that fooa made all of her work twlth the company ( here so pleasing. Hal Davis made a good DnsMsh duke and In his dry , droll wa > was decidedly funny. Walter Oiroone as Correse , the musician , had one of .he beat opportunities given him In ixxme ; lTne and made the anost of It. Miss Inez tfac&uloy , who was a favorite with the company hero lost year and has been tak- ng a rest durdnur Its present Omaha en gagement , Joining It again yesterday , > Iaylng the part of the Duchesa de Sonnar , i moat tlianklees one , however , but th bril- lant way In which she handled it made Uioee who BOW the performance yesterday wlerh the Woodward company's engagement was Just opening rather than rapidly coming to a close.

The company closes Ma engage- ncnt Friday ng ! > ht wtth a production of Captain Rackotiti , a three-net farce. For an operatic organization to stop from a production of opera-bouffe ona week to ho acme of grand opera tlve next Is extra ordinary and on almost faultless performance of one of the moot classical and difficult ot grand operas with but flvo rehearsals Is something almost unheard of , yet this Is what was accomplished ut the Trocadero theater by the new operatic stock company. Last night Mascagnl'ft beautiful "Oavalleria tustlcana" wae put In rehearsal by them on Tuesday Jaat ftnd the eyes of those who saw last evening's performance of It were certainly opened to the capabilities of this company , There was one of the largest audiences of the season In the theater end It ntrowed Itn appreciation of the irferltorJotui work by thf most ( ( onerous approbation. Mlea Mortimer wa In splendid voice and Bang the part of Santdzrn In A particularly praiseworthy manner. "Tho rrayer" and ensemble , rendered by Miss Mortimer and the chorus , mas one of < the most beautiful numbers. "The Brlndlal , " another ensemble ( by Mr. Davlcs and chorus received several encores. Mr. Hatcho's whip song was well rendered nnd eliowod off hie plenslng bari tone voleo to ndvnntnge. "Tho Net" duet toy Miss Mortimer nnd ( Mr. Hatch was fault lessly sung while noticeably pleasing was the dra-mntlc notion of both of these people throughout the entire opera. The produc tion certainly speaks iwomlors for tlio .work of Maurice Hngcman , the stage director , nnd Milton Smith , the musical conductor , as well on chorus and principals. The only noticeable fault wns that the orchestra wns Inadequate , not that the musicians Included In It arc Incapable , but that there nro not enough of them. The cello was sadly mlesed nt last night's per formance , as well as an organ for "Tho 1'rayer. " This opera la certain to please all lovers of music and will doubtless draw them to the theater In largo numbers before the close of the week. A creditable performance of Gilbert A Sulllvnn's comic opera "Pinafore , " was given as itho first halt ot the bill. The amateur theatrical performance , "Over the Sen , " presented nt the Crelghton- Orphcum Sunday afternoon by ttoo B. & M. lodge , Modern Woodmen of America , was well attended and the appreciation of the audlenco was frequently manifested by the warm applnuso accorded the players.

They submitted their re port to the union at Us session Sunday afternoon. In discussing the convention , Mr. Butler said : "Tho most exciting feature of the session wan , as usual , the selection of the place ot the next annual meeting. Milwaukee , Birmingham , Toronto and Washington were all seeking to be designated , but the latter two drew out of the race and the final vote resulted In the selection of Milwaukee by only one vote over the Alabama metropolis. There were 184 delegates In attendance upon the convention , but the total number , Including ex-dolcgateo , officers nnd visitors reached 246. Of the delegates , 139 were representatives of typographical unions. "Thero wore several Important matters taken up , discussed and acted on , but be fore the final adoption of any ot the recom mendations they will bo submitted to the referendum , whereby each member ot the union at large has the privilege of exercis ing the right of suffrage. A recommenda tion was made that the per capita tax be raised 10 cents per month. It was also de cided to admit machine tenders to memberShip - Ship In the union , but as members they will only bo permitted to do one thing at a time either serve aa machinists or operators. The trouble which has existed between the stereotypers nnd their employers In Chicago cage was submitted to the executive com mittee nnd will probably be satisfactorily settled. Wo also decided unanimously to use every available resource at the com mand of tie union in the fight which is to bo waged against the New York Sun. This paper recently posted a notice that It would not recognize union employes In any branch , and as a result all of the union men em ployed on the paper walked out In a body. The matter of union labels waa taken up and an attempt made to give the man who employs all union men , either aa printers , pressmen or bookbinders , the right to use the Allied Trades label , but this was de feated , and as heretofore the label can only bo used by the concern which has repre sentatives of more than ono of the branches employed.
