A larnc cotiKrccallon attended tho SU
Mary'B Avenue CongrcKatlonnl church at
tho morning sorvleo to hear Hev. C. S. Sar
gent's sermon on "Kldnnping." Hov. Mr.
Sargent look IiIh text from Acts I, 21: "They
watched nt thn gate ut night to kill hltn."
Among other thlngB ltov. Mr. Sargent said:
"At the duwn of tho twentieth century tho
world, or tho United States nt least, has
been startled by the kidnaping of n boy;
not a baby or a llttlo girl, but a boy enter
ing Into manhood. Tho whole country has
been aroused at the bold details of tho ab
duction. Tho police havo scoured every
part of tho west without finding n traco
worth following. Numerous detectives havo
set thcmHclvcH to tho task of solving tho
myBtory of tho kidnapers' Identity, but In
uplto of their efforts tho mystery still re
mains. "I havo boon told that foe four weeks
tho men who carried oft young Cudahy
watcheil tho house on tho hill where ho
lived nt almost every hour of tho day and
night.
"Thcso men watched the movements of
tho children and tho servants patiently, de
termined to havo tho child of tho rich man.
In this story thcro Is a thought for all of us.
At tho beginning of tho twentieth century
it Is worth whllo to consider what Is tho
question of tho hour. 1 might mention tho
growth of tho church or tho expansion of
torrltory, telling how tho limits of tho nn
tlon are tho two ocenjis, tho Atlantlo and
tho racllle. Or I might speak of tho ad
vnnco of education, calling attention how In
tho beginning thcro were only ten colleges
where now there nro more than COO; how
tho Hystem of education has been built up
until now every child In tho land has tho
benefits of school.
To Kxciiiir IJunmTH.
"Thoro nro many other points In tho prog
ress of tho world that might bo touched on,
but this Is not tho sermon that I havo
chosen 'for you. Today let us look nt tho
dangers that surround us nud thun consider
what nro tho opportunities bf escnpo from
thoso dnngors. in tho first place, thcro Is
tho great evil of the rum'shop. Kvcry year
100,000 drunknrds totter with bleary eyo
nnd Inflrm step to their destruction, and
ovory year 100,000 boys from your homo nnd
mlno go to tnko now places In tho depleted
ranks.
"Thero Is another temptation. This Is
tho ago of wealth. Men bellovo In a gospel
of fun. Many of us nro engrossed In soci
ety. Christ enmo to found society, but we
Bhould never mnko social pleasures our
whole aim. A further temptation Is ono ot
tho sw4rd. Even whllo tho whisperings of
Tho lingua pence conference wcro In tho
nlr thoro followed war and war. To our
young men courngo and patriotism canto
nnd said: 'You must bo soldiers.' Ono among
tho results Is told In tho words of u cele
brated general who xnld In refcrenco to the
conduct of tho soldiers In China, that China
will renutrt un hundred years to forget tho
deeds of our nrmy.
"Today tho old religions nro nppcnltng as
never before, nnd Christ Is leading tho nrmy
ot Christians, able to protect our boys and
our hrcsldes."

"This sentonco Is tho koynoto' of Chris

to boo men wrest prizes from their fellow

"Christiana havo frequently said that no

Iter. Hubert O. Herring spoko of tho
necessity of tho world's salvation In his
Sunday morning sermon at tho First Con
gregational church. His text was He
brews vll, 25; "Whoroforo ho Is able also
to aavo thorn to tho uttormoBt that como
unto Cod by Him, senlng Ho over llveth
to mako intercession for rtiem."
"Among tho many things thnt Impress
my mind In tho opening of this now cen
tury," ho snld, "Is that tho tlmo Is moat
opportuno for n survey of all fundamental
truths. Tho wholo enlightened world ap
preciates that Christ was tho spotless char
noter; it Is convinced that His was tho
Hupremo exnmplo nnd that Ho was tho
supreme teacher of morals. Ho was, wo
readily admit, tho greatest spiritual force
In tho world. Yot thcso aro all Incidental
to ono great thing tho saving power of
Jesus Christ.
"Tho world needs to bo snved," doclarcd
Dr. Herring, nud then ho cited Bomo ot
tbo examples of tho world's clvlllzutlon
which stand most In need ot tho saving
power nt Jesus ChrUt. Among thoso lio
mentioned tho' drunkard, tho gambler, tho
harlot, tho man or woman whoso uphoro
Is contlnod to tho narrow HmltB of pleas
ure. In this connection ho spoko of the
kidnaper,
"Hero Is a mnn," ho said, "who has do
scunded to tho dastardly level of kidnap
ing lu order to forco tho payment of n
reward. Wo nro nil indignant at tho enso
which has presented Itself so vividly to
ns, but wo nro not ns Indignant as wo
ought to be. I nm exceedingly glad that
a movement has been made which recog
nizes this outrage as one against tho com
munity nnd not against ono man alone.
I enro not from whence tho nuthorlty
springs for tho commonwealth to rlso up
In Its Indignation and take n hand In tho
search for thcso criminals. It Is the only
right nnd proper thing to do."
Ho spoke of the business and professional
men who nro selfishly engnged In seeking
only their pleasure and comfort, and tho
man whoso Bordld greed for wealth ellml
nnten nil things clso as stnndlng In need
of tho saving power of Jesus Christ. "Into
tho prcsenco of uneasy, helpless humanity,"
ho continued, "comes n mighty figure which
fills tho horizon of the past nnd Illuminates
tho path of tho future. Ho otters salva
tion In tho nlmlghty power of Ood to bo
tho redemption of our lives,
"I do not know whether tho twentieth
century will recognize Jesus Christ ns Its
savior or hot. Its outcome, Its fruition,
howovcr, will depend upon this recognition.
Education nnd progress need (o bo built
on tho movement of men's souls Godwnrd.
Thero Is nothing that you and I need so

compelling ovcry mnn nnd every woman
In tho land to turn tho soul's eyo on his

Self-scrutiny nnd sin cannot exist to

a throng of young men which' tilled tho
drawing rooms of tho Young Men's Chris
tian association nnd overflowed Into tho
halls Sundny nftcrnoon when ho nddrcsscd
them on "Tho Wny to Ilulld Aright.",
Ills words were like tho hammer blowj
which ho urged young men to, uso In build
ing tho framework of true character. They
wcro uttered with tho rapidity of shot
from n gatllng gun nnd tho Impression
produced wnB as lasting ns tho ndnmnntlne
foundations which they described. Hero
nro some of tho paraphrases ho uttered;
"Many of humanity's wrecks nro tho ro
suit of companionship. Thero aro some
men who mnko ono ns fretful ns. n por
cupine. Somo men I want to canonize:
somo I want to ennnonndc."
"In temptation thcro is no sin. Tho sin
lies In tljo yielding. Temptation Is the
complement of manly .character."
"Tho chief crlmo of tho present day Is
thoughtlessness."
When Hov. Mr. Hirst commenced his
nddrcss thero wns not standing room as
far as his volco could carry. Ho Is n
speaker whoso tones nro resonant and
whoso mnnnor mngnotlsm and force mnko
impressive. Dr. Hirst employs In his dic
tion metaphors that young men best under
stand nnd his gestures nro of the slmplo
kind that nro moro for punctuation than
for embellishment.
In tho way of preface ho snld that his
text could bo found early In Matthew, tho
number of tho chapter being omitted In
tho hopo thai thoso who heard him would
bo Interested enough to read in the book
until tho chapter was found. Tho words
wcro: "Seek yo first tho kingdom of Cod
and His righteousness, nnd nil things shall
follow." Excerpts from his remarks were:
"I bcllevo that this Is tho young man's
ago of tho world. I remember onco of
stnndlng In tho crypt of St. Paul's ca
thedral In London nnd rending on ono of
tho walls tho Inscription in momorlnm ot
tho builder: 'If you want to seo his monu
ment, look nround you.' I remember of
climbing to tho domo of tho cathedral and
looking down Into tho streets bolow, whero
tho men walking about nppcnrcf to bo thn
veriest pigmies; such was tho grandeur of
tho structuro ono man hns built. Young
men, wo nro all builders, you and I, nnd
It Is of tho greatest posslblo moment that
wo build nrtglit.
"Not long ago In Chicago tho old post
otllco was torn down because thero was a
flaw In tho foundation. I havo watched
tho laborers at work on the foundation ot
tho now building, now In tho courso of
construction, and hnvo noted tho caro thnt
Is being tnken with all that has to do with
tho foundation. Thcro Is reason for It
nil, becnuso n defjet In tho foundation Is

"Yo nro builders ot character, builders
ot family and builders of power and In

of becoming n master builder. How can
I do It, you nsl;7 Turn to thnt chapter
of Matthew and read: 'Seek yo flrsl the

At the First Christian church Sunday
mbrnlng tho pastor, Ilov. Sumner T. Mar
tin, delivered n Now Year's address, taking
for his text Philemon 111, 13-11. He .said, lu
part:
Upon this first Lord's day morning of tho
now year I would call upon you to listen to
this text, tho w6rds of n man who couuted
as nothing everything but tho salvation of
tho Lord. I would request you to leave
behind you all things which would hinder
your progress townrd the perfection" of tho
life of Christ. No higher nlm than that can
bo set boforo man. To do this somo things
must bo forgotten to ns great an extent ns
possible. Not that nnythlng enn bo totally
forgotten. The evil nngcl of mnn's llfo will
constantly remind him of things which for
his better llfo he should forget, but If wo
cannot forget them entirely wo enn at least
remember them In n wny which will not bo
to our Injury.
'While wo nre forgetting wo should not
forget thoso things which will strengthen
us nnd help us upon our wny. Wo should
not forgot those things which mako our
thoughts go out In grntltudo to God for His
many mciclcs. Wo must forgot evil asso
ciations, unworthy environment nnd the
pleasures of n llfo of sin. To specify, I
would eay that we should forgot our fail
ures, but not forget them until nfter wo
havo learned tho lesson they hnvo to tench;
wo should forget our past sorrows nnd our
griefs. Dcnth must not bo nllowed to swal
low life. Though tho nearest and dearest
may pass nwny, thoro yot remains tho world
for your work n world of sin nnd Buffering,
filled with tho men for whom Christ died,
nnd thcso men need our nld. Wo must
mensuro ourselves by tho world's necessi
ties, Wo must forget our previous achieve
ments and BUccoFscs. What you havo dono
and hnvo been mny bo pleasant In tho wny
of reminiscence. What you do and what
you nro must bo tho mensuro of present ex
istence. Llvo today. Yesterday Is past
nnd tomorrow may never como. Tho present
tlmo Is yours, nnd you owe It to God to lot
no thought of past services lntcrfcro with
tho work of today. You must forget your
past sins. Misery Is the present memory of
things pnst nnd happiness Is mndo up ot
smltlng-yestcrdnys. Thero Is misery enough
In tho world. If you nro In n llfo of stu
repent, con fee:) to God; recelvo His forgive
ness and then forget. As n religious organ
ization wo Bhould forgot our past. What
matters It If n man is doctrlnnlly sound In
ovcry particular If his Ilfq bo n senndnl
to tho church? Wo must reach out, not bo
satisfied with what wo nre, but resolved to
attain tho perfostlon of Christ."

Tho Hco has established a roputatlon as a
fearless nnd honest writer. Curiosity,
howovcr, Impelled many to attend tho
servlco yesterday to hear him In tho rolo
of a composer of high-class ecclesiastic
music and thnt they wore not disappointed
wns proved by tho comments of tho. con

His choir, which probably has no oqunl
in Omaha for quality of tone, phrasing
nnd Btyle, scorned tb feel tho inspiration
of tho occasion and Its singing was en
tirely en rapport with tho sentiment of tho

Members ot tho Commercial club nre
quietly discussing tho feasibility ot erect
ing n building for the exclusive uso ot
their organization. The project has not
yet taken nny definite form, for tho reason
that it is considered best not to push tho
matter until tho Auditorium fund Is prac

Auditorium is well under way, which will
bo early In tho coming summer, tho Com
mercial club building enterprise will prob
ably be taken up and curried out,
"Thcro Is not tho slightest reason," do
clnred n member of tho club'a executive
committee yesterday, "why tho Commer
cial club shuuld not hnvo n homo "of Its
own. My Idea is that a building to cost
1100,000 with ground could bo put up with
out tho slightest financial dlfUculty. It
should bo a thrco-story structuro of or
namental design. On tho first floor hnve
largo reception and rending rooms, tho
secretary's olllee, cloak rooms, etc., put
tho dining rooms nnd kitchen on tho second
floor nnd dovoto tho top story to n bil

hoiiso something on this order would, bo
of great servlco to tho members, nnd, be
sides, it would provldo n prnlsoworthy
plnco for tho cntortnlnmrnt of business
men from out of town nnd for social func
tions. tinli roulil InerendP Hi Iiieome.
"With thcso added attractions tho club
could easily Increase Us membership to
500 and advance tho annual lu?s to $10. Ily
tho wuy, I will say that nny man lu busb
ncss In Omaha who would refuse to con
tribute $10 a year, less than (1 n week, to
tho Bupport of such n club ought to bo
ostracized. Now, with 500 members at $40
a year each, tho aununl income of tho or
ganization would bo $20,000. My plan would
provldo for tho payment of .fS.OOO n year
rent to tho company thnt Hhould bo or
ganized to build nnd own tho house, leav
ing $12,000 n year for tho other expenses
of the club.
Wo could easily organlzo among tho
members ot tho club n building company
with a paid-in .capital of $60,000. Six hun
dred shares ot $100 each could bo sold
quickly umong tho 600 members, because
the financial proposition would bo n sound
one. With $00,000 cnBh to Invest a $100,000
property could bo ncqulrcd by Issuing $10,-
000 of 5 per cent bonds. Tho building com
pany would receive $8,000 a yenr In rent,
which would bo 8 per cent on tho value
of tho property. Tho Interest on tho bonds
would nmount to $2,000 n year, leaving
$6,000 as the annual roturn on tho $60,000
of cnpltal stock. You seo, tho gross re
turn would bo 10 per cent, nud If tnxes,
Insurnnco and maintenance Bhould tnko as
much ns 4 per c"t which Is Improbable,
tho stock would pay a dividend of C per

ivlek, W, O. Mny of Gothenburg wns In the
city yesterday nnd spent savcrut hours nt
tho llor Grand. Speaking of conditions I'l
tho neighborhood of his home, ho said!
"At tho present tlmo wo nro Interested
In tho proposed action of tho legislature.
In thS matttr nf Irrigation. Gothenburg
nnd tho surrounding country Is suffering
under tho recent decision ot tho supremo
court nn.1 do not think that Inter-day Ne
braska should bo bound by tho archaic laws
of medieval England. What wo want Is n
law which will permit tho creation nnd
maintaining of Irrigation ditches all over
tho western part of tho state. Out In my
county wo saw tho effects of Irrigation this
year.
'Wheat rnlscd under Irrigation yielded
twenty-five nnd thirty bushels to tho ncre,
whllo thnt not under tho ditch ran from
four to five bushels to tho acre. Wo not
only hnd a drouth this year, but grass
hoppers appeared In InrHC numbers. On tho
wheat under tho ditch they hnd llttlo effect,
as tho growth was so luxuriant that tho
plants grow to perfection In splto of their
presence, whllo thoy prnctlcnlly destroyed
every field not Irrigated. Tho lino between
tho Irrigated fields nnd thoso which de
pended upon natural rainfall for moisture
wnB well marked. On one Bide of tho line
tho ground was barren, while upon tho
other tho growing wheat would support
tho hat of a man thrown upon It.
In nddltlon to Interest In tho Inw wo
nro grcutly Interested In tho mnn who will
bo nppolnted supervisor of Irrigation lu
the stnto.
"noom times nro over in Gothenburg nnd
for several years wo havo been on n busi
ness biiKis. Several men mndo n lot of
money, but thoso who wcro not satisfied
unless thoy got tho wholo thing, lost out.
wo havo what you might call the electrical
city of tho west. Slnco tho ditch has boon
built to tho town to furnish power for tho
electric plant our mills nnd nil of tho
houses requiring power nro run by elec
tricity. Thero aro evidences of growth, but
none ot boom."
