AV. I * . A-limortli. llev , \S''J' . Aylnworth , president of Col lier university at Lincoln , occupied the pul pit of the First Chrlstlnn rliurch Sunday morning. Ho spoke of the time In the lite of the apostle 1'aul when ho was tearing tlie end of his earthly service and ( "loudly pointed to the marks on his body ns evi dences of his servitude. "It Is not an un usual thing. " said Or. Aylsworth , "to point to one's wounds and scars an an evidence of glory. If there Is anything that I envy the patriot It U the \\ounds which stand as A glorincntlon of his service. 1'aul said that ha bore the marks of the Lord Jesus Christ. He may hu\o had reference to the marks Iqft by the physical torturennd suffering to which ho had linen subjected or ho may have meant the brandp.Jcft by care anil mental anxiety. No man .enters the conflicts of life without bearing- these marks. Paul's care for the churches , hla ansloty for their hiici'Cbs , his contemplation of the sins of the world left the marks of the conlllct written on his face. " lie called attention to the marks which lire depleted In the faces of all mankind to day. "H Is Impossible , " he said , "for a mi\n \ to hide outward expression of the char acter of hla life. If It Ui base nnd evil , his face shows It. A noble face , indicating a grand , lofty character , is as legible ns a printed piige. Paul's twenty or twenty-live | years service had written unmistakable signs of his loyalty upon his countenance. " In connection with the text chosen for his fltldres * Dr. Aylsworth read of Paul's state ment heroin ho said , "Let no man trouble me. " He said that thlt was not prompted by Indifference on the part of the npostlu. "The. highest attainment of Christian hero- ! It-ai , " he continued , "the highest graduation possible to reach In the schools of the world's Christianity Is where one can stand In the calmness of self-possession und look down upon the troubles of the world , sayIng - Ing , 'Let no man trouble me. I bear the marks of servitude of God in my body. There can be no trouble for me.

The occaslo : will be oteerved by a banquet of Congre gatlonallsts on next Thursday and the anniversary nivorsary was referred to in pulpits of tha denomination Sunday. The subject ot Dr O. S. Sargent's sermon at the St. Mary' avenue church was the "Congregatlona Church and Its Heritage of Freedom o Faith. " "The pilgrims and the puritans were tin npcetles of religious liberty , " he haid "Every church has doctrines , creeds or his toilcal memories in which they take peculla pride. The Episcopalians have their ancien nnd cherished forms of worship , their lit' urgy ; the Congregationalists glory In theli religious freedom. They have no presbytery no diocesan officers over them , but are a ; brethrqn holding confidence in one ether Each church has Its own appointed work unc is loyal to Christ alone. 'One Is your master oven Qtyrlpt , and all yo are brethren. ' "Whfii Hie pilgrims landed on that blcnJ Massachusetts shore they felt the need , noi of more apostolic succession , but of more successors to the apostles. In thai day they allowed no bitterness ol cold or scantiness cf larder to Inter fere with their observance of the Lord's day. Since then there have come to the church riches and greatnefe which arc fata ] gifts without consecration and nowadays men feel that It is sufficient excuse to re main away from church if their mall Is in need of attention or If the sky Is overcast. "Although the church universal la divided into so many branches they should not bo UK rivals , but as brothers working for a common end. The heavenly city lies fair be fore us and may be entered by a hundred gates of which any church may hold the key. " I.rSSO\S PUOM A III.IM ) HiirtlniriiH In llln IMIiuliifNH AVnx 11 Tyjit ? of tinI'roHciit Uiiy Hlmier. llev. Luther M. Kulins , pastor of the Grace Lutheran church , took "A Blind Deg- gar" for the subject ot his sermon Sunday morning. His text was from the tenth chap ter of Mark : "Lord , that I might receive my sight. " Ha spoke as follows : "Dartlmeits , the blind beggar , is n typo of the blindness of the sinner. There comes a time in the life of every sinner , as there camea time In the life of tlio beggar of Jericho , when Jesus of Nazareth passcth by. It Is the tlmu in the affairs of the sinner that if taken nt its flood leads on to for tune. He has but to cry , as blind Dartlmeus did , 'Jesus , thou son qt David , have mercy on mo ! ' It is the privilege of every one to come to Jesus. Dartlmeus know that. Jesus called for him nnd when Jesus calls for you nnd you stand before Him ask for mercy that the blindness and Ignorance and superstition that have gathered In your heart may pass nway. DartlnjeuB received his sight and fol lowed Jesus. That stands for the typo ot the lanaomod soul , redeemed and sanctified. Ho leretvcd his sight. He saw and followed Christ. " 'Jesus of Na/aroth passcth by , ' and the call of that blind beggar comes down to us now In the nineteenth century. Let us think of It now at thlii Christmas time and let us help those who ate blind , those who are sin ners , and let us l.'nd thorn to where Jesus Is passing and hear them cry out , 'Jesus , thou sou of David , have mercy on me ! ' Let us help others to see Jesus as Ho Is. This is the time most of all the year when wo should luV.p those who are poor , those who are needy and those who are blind. " JVOT CONVI3HTKD THItOlirill Ftt.VIt. om of finil l-XnhllHlifil liy Slow mill SlIl'CCNHflll SdlKt'N. At the Second Presbyterian church Sunday morning the pastor , llev. A. E. Chase , se lected for his subject , "Tho Still Small Voice , " From the text the speaker drew the conclusion that In ruling the world God docs not compel men to do right by placing them In fear and argued that In conversions it is the still , Email voice that brings about re pentance. He held that those people who are looking for a sudden conversion arc an ticipating and expecting something that God has never promised , for at no tlmo has God's plans for salvation been like a dynamite bomb , hurling man late glory and sanctlli- catlon. "People wonder , " said the speaker , "why God does not crush out evil at one stroke and leave the world pure and free from sin. This CAST For Infants and Children. Tito Kind You Have Always Bought Bears tht > Signature of would be In direct contradiction to all moral lnw and while It might bring about obedience It would not and could not have the desired effect , as the kingdom of God bus been established by slow and successful Mages. " ' ' It was shown that dcd estimates man by his willingness to work nnd do good and that It Is not the size of the deeds performed that counts. As art Illustration , It was rolntcd otit that the widow's mite weighs more In the estimation of God than all the riches of the world. ( iii.vri : AXI > ITS I'cnvnu TO S.YVK.

Trefz , pastor of Kountze Memorial church , de parted from his iisunl custom of talking tn a special topic and preached a strong doc trinal sermon on "Saved by Grace. " Urlefly summarized , the speaker set forth that the Eilvlng power of grace may bo ex tended to all who desire to embrace it , that there Is literal truth In the old proverb that salvation Is frtfo nnd that In this enlightened age theio Is no need for any fine to grope about In spiritual or Intellectual darkness. Hev. Trefz had promised his congregation a strictly doctrinal sermon and he fulfllle.1 his promise. At night llev. Trefz delivered another ot his series of special sermons , taking for hl topic : "Our City's Debt to Its Merchant Clerks ; A Pica for the Early Closing Move ment. " There was a large representation of retail clerks In attendance. At the evening service there was a full chorus. nyt'M Tlnit Will .Not Sec , Ilov. Frederick A. Hatch talked about the "Unseeing Eyes" Sunday morning at the Plymouth Congregational church , using Matt , xlll , 13 , as the text. "Jesus Is the rhlof perscnngo in the'drama ' of the mis understood. Heforo then nnd elnce have men failed to understand Him and His teach ings. A frivolous mind IK satisfied with n frivolous religion. A superficial mind never gets any deep apprehension of the truth. So it is that men fall to 'see the .develop ment of God's laws , , material nnd moral. Creeds content f > onic , more than a person. And for like reasons , men get little profit from the scriptures. With some , with some ludges even , they are only a pile of stones to furnish ammunition in an Intellectual brawl. With others they arc only the starting point for a long , windy Journey. With others , they meet the need for a pert , pat Illustration , Mid so many full to see God's love-story in them. And the majesty of the Christian railing passes .before the vision of so many nltbout arousing any larger Idea than that 3f hoping to meet you all in glory. The thought of growthby conlllct , victor through discipline , service by sacrifice , I missed. Why are men t.o ? In nttentloi by reason of a calloused heart. Preposses slons , for If the eye bo single , the whol body is full of light ; and pride , by whlc ! doubt is cherished and exhortation Is re sented. Wo treat no possession as we d the soul ; allowing it to be watched eve by n sleepy mind , and eyes that behold s little. A seeing eye is a converted eye. It's i sign of promise when one confesses , "I don' see. " Wo don't need to see nil the mystery but we must see Jesus to commence tlv religious life , and Jesus only , to make I a regnant fact. It may bo a mistake not t < secure this or that policy in governmenla administration ; it may be unwise not to havi certain laws , but It Is the most solemn trag edy to pasa through the world and not sei Jesus , so that we say , 'What will thou havt mo to do. ' After that blinding vision o Jesus , Paul had the other vision of the thin heaven. We will fall to see glory If w < fait to see grace in the person and work o : Christ. " "Tin1 Neuro 111 Aiielnil Hlttlory. " The subject before the Omaha Philosophy cal eoclety Sunday was "The Negro in An > clont History. " Rev. George W. WooJbj argued that the negro was kin to the superior > porior human races in ancient times , chal lenging proof to the contrary. The Chal deans , Ethiopians , Catbaglnlans and Phoe nicians were negroes , he said. Mr. Woodbj was thanked by the society and accepted ar Invitation to deliver another address or some future date upon the "Ilace Problem. ' Ho was followed by others in short talks. Election of officers was postponed until the first Sunday of next year. ' ! ' : 'ICN on AViifllilimtnn. llev. Edwin Hart Jenks , pastor of- the First Presbyterian church , took his congre gation on a little journey back through his tory Sunday night in an address on "Wash ington , the Ideal American. " The speaker took up the main points of Interest In the Ufa of tbo founder of the republic nnd showed how Intimately connected was his life with the birth of freedom and founding of the federation , of states. PROTEST AGAINST A SALOON McetlnK of IteiuoiiNtraom nt WON < - ' inliiHtur 1'renliytvrlnu Chureli. Church members and others who oppose the granting of licence to a saloon at 2705 Leavenworth street held a meeting Sunday afternoon at Westminster Presbyterian church , at which ways and means for accom plishing the purpose in view were discussed , Eight church organizations and numerous residents who are not Identified with any of the churches are Interested In this move ment , so it WHS stated at the meeting. At torneys have volunteer9d their services free of charge to look after the legal end ot the case , nnd It Is the Intention of the remonstrators to appeal to the district court In the event the license is issued , despite the protests on flic. Although It has been stated that there will be no charge for attorney fees , the central committee announced that a fund of about $100 $ would be required for court costs and other preliminaries. Several of thaeo pres ent volunteered to give something toward that fund and one enthusiastic member suggested that enough money ought to be raised so there would be a fee for the attor neys , notwithstanding their offer to servo gratuitously. Numerous speeches were "made , and while tbero was some difference of opinion as to the best method of procedure , all wore agreed en the main IBSUO that a strong light would be mode against the saloon In question , not that It is any worse than any ither saloon , 1 > ut because it l encroach ing upon a residence district and because it Is in the immediate vicinity of several ihurchea. llev. Sargent , the pastor of St. Mary's wenuo Congregational church , advised cau- lon before going Into court and In support ot i ils position ho related the stcry of how scv- JM ! St. Louis preachers , n few yearn ago , indertook a Sabbath-closing movement and I low they carried their cause Into court. ! "The result1 ' 'said llev. Sargent , "was j hat wo eventually found ourselves micd by mr attorneys for fees to , the amount of $700. md the private libraries of three ministers I vere attached as security for the debt. We ouipromified at n discount and wived our mother's book * , but In the end wo really ; aincd no progress and had a vast amount if trouble.

' \ SOUTH OMAHA Citizens nnd taxpayers are criticising the work of the police department and are be coming alarmed at the number of robberies and holdups reported. The people of the city do not ccm to like the manner In which p.ffalra are being handled , nnd Mayor Eneor Is being roundly censured. Ho is accused of placing weak men on the police ferro nnd thus preventing the capture of supposed criminals. When some of these complaints were made known to the mayor yesterday , his honor made the following statement : "If the people who art" kicking will come to mo with their complaints Instead ot run ning to the ilcwspapers , I will give their grievance the consideration due them. BJ far as the' police force Is concerned , I main tain that I am doing the bcM I can at the present time. If the business men want a change In the department they can have It by calling upon mo and expressing their desire. I hereby tender the office ot chief ct police to any man selected by the business men of South Omaha. All that Is needed to make n change In the bend ot the police department Is for the taxpayers to conic to mo nnd suggest the 'name of some wel'-- known man who will take the Job. If this Is done the appointment will follow Im mediately. Such a move on the part ot the clll/.cns will doubtless result In an en tire change In the police force , but I am willing to make thin change If the people want U " Recent troubles have caused the people to think th.it the police department Is weak and It undoubtedly Is. Mayor Ensor's offer to make n change In the head of the force will pcsslbly be accepted , as taxpayers are not nt all satisfied with the way things are running now. With u three-mill levy , the pollre depart1- ment , it is conceded , Is held down to half the number of men It should be , but thl1) cannot bo helped. Efforts have been made by South Omaha representatives In the legis lature to increase this levy , but without avail. With fifteen policemen the city can not be properly guarded and there Is a disposition on the part of the mayor to em ploy more men , to bo selected by , the citizens. At the present time the police have in sustody one John James , who is suspected at having been one of the gang Implicated In the Eggers holdup. Eggers says James s the man who took his money and he will DO held for positive Identification. on ( 'OCH ( o I.liH-olii. Quite a number of men Interested In the live stock Industry will go to Lincoln Tues day to attend the convention ot breeders of fine stock. An attempt will be made to In duce these breeders to hold a show and sale at the stock yards here next fall. The recent sale woa a great success and the at tendance was all that could have been de sired. A big show for next year Is pro jected and It Is hoped that the Stock Yards company will recognize the Importance of such shows by erecting a pavilion on the vacant ground near the horse and mule market.
