Excerpts from Srrmons of
Other I'rencher.
Dr. C. S, Sargent preached his farewell
ieraon at St. Mary's Avenue Congregational
church yesterday morning and ended hie
two yearn of scrvlco as pastor of that con
gregation. Dr. Sargent came to Omaha from
Bt. Louts and will leave thU city In a short
time for Wichita, Kan., whero he has ac
cepted a charge.
"Do Kings and Priests Unto Him." was
the theme of Dr. Sargent's sermon, which
was a plea for self-denial and complete
devotion to the ssrvlco of Ood. Dr. Sar
gent spoko of tho dissatisfaction which has
existed among a certain clement In the
church he Is leaving and urged that all
tho factions unlto and devote themselves
to tho scrvlco of Ood, who stands abovo all
mankind.
"Men aro great as they nro servants 'of
mankind," said thu preacher. "Gladstone
once remarked that nil Amcrlcnns are serv
ants of tho state. How truo this Is. Wash
ington, who Is probably tho greatest of all
Americans, was great because ho sacrificed
everything to servo mankind. When all
church members serve the church with the
.loyalty Americans servo their government
thoro will bo an nwakcnlng In religious
ctrclos. Pastor and church members will
then walk hand ami hand In tho service of
the Lord. Every member will tnke to him
self responsibility, and tho welfare of the
church will rest with tho members an well
as with the- preachers.
No Keelliitr of Bitterness.
"it Is Impossible for mo to remain longer
with this congregation after what has taken
place. I leave hero without any feeling of
bitterness. Tho troubles I hnvo had here
havo been burnod out by sorrow. This
church has a wonderful future. It Is for
tunately located and cannot fall to develop
Into a great power for good If tho mem
bers unlto In building It up. 1, wish to
speak' h word for my successor, whoever he
may be. What I say Is In kindness. Don't
tear down the man and find fault with hlra.
A pastor may not bo fitted for tho pulpit,
but that Is no reanon why members of tho
church should tear down his ministry. He
li laboring for God and should havo the
asslstanco of all members of his congrega
tion.
"If tho dissatisfied members of this
church devoto half tho energy to building
It up that they have dovoted to defeating
my work as pastor It will surely flourish
Tho church will bo filled every Sunday. If
ns great an effort Is made to Improvo nt
tendance as has been made to keep pcoplo
away during tho last few months.
Secret Work of Faction.
"And yet not a member who was dlssatls
fled with mo has come 'to mo personally
and made any suggestions as to what Im
provement could bo made In my work. Not
one of the faction that has opposed mo
has como to pray with me. Instead of con
suiting me they held meetings and signed
petitions ashing for my resignation. Tho
first intimation I had of this movement
was when faithful members of the church
called on me and wrote mo letters nssur
Ing mo that thoy had not signed any such
petitions. I havo rcasoa to bcllevo that
this movement was not among tho men of
the church who pray most for Its welfare
end glvo most liberally to Its support. Tho
loyal support given me by tho Christian
Endoavor society nnd the kindness of ho
members of tho church who havo en
couraged mo during' theso troubles will
always bo cherished In my memory.
"I hopo that no member will leave this
church on nccount of tho trouble that has
existed. God Is greater than man and His
work should not bo hindered. Let us all
get the Imperial Idea. Wo aro to bo kings
nnd priests and aro to win tho world for
Him. Know Jesus abovo all worldly things
nnd lot nothing Intcrforo with your efforts
to upbuild His kingdom."
I NEGLECT OK HIGHER DUTIES.
It la Pointed Out In Sermon of Iter
E. II. JenkH.
At tho First Presbyterian church Sun
i day rooming tho pastor, He, v. Edwin Hart
Jenks, preached from First Kings, xx-40,
"And as thy servant was busy hero and
thoro, he has gone" Tho choir, compris
ing Miss Gracp Northrup, soprano; Miss
Harriot Bakor, contralto; W. S. McCune,
tenor, and William Grlgor, bass, sang
beautifully tho simple hymn, "Where Ho
Leads Me. '
The text relates to. an excuso made by
a soldier to his king for a neglect of
duty. In tho battlo a captain bad en
trusted him with a prisoner, saying: "Keep
this man, and it you fall to deliver htm
upon demand, your own life shall pay the
forfeit." But tho soldier was busy hero
nnd there, nnd tho prisoner escaped.
''How many of us," said tho pastor,
"plead press of business as an excuse for
the neglect of tho higher things of llfo?
The duty that wo cannot avoid doing with
out bolng derelict Is tho ono wo should do
first. Thcro Is nono other that 1b para
mount to It, or oven parallel to It. No
two duties press upon tho sarao point nt
tho same tlmo. When there Becms to bo
two, then aro wo wrong In our premises
nd we should get back to baslo principles.
"Tho church owes vn great deal to the
buslncm man; It would bo n great mistake
to doclnlm against wealth. I maintain
only that tho .efforts to attain wealth
nro nitmlliccted unless- they allow tlmo
In which to seok out tho thing that Is best
In life. Tho larger business of keeping
tho soul that Is supreme. Put tho things
of tho Klngdopi of God highest. It will
not hurt you In a business way. God does
not want to clip tho wings of any aspiring
man, but Ho demands that wo do our duty
to ourselves and to Him."
AXnilKWS ON I'HOCHASTINATION
University Chancellor Ilellcvcn "To-
dny" In Time for EverythhiK.
"Knmn nnntilo nro nerfcctlnnlsta. assert
lng that they havo actually attained n
saintly and sinless life, otnors assume
tho opposite standpoint. Extremists In
nlthor direction oucht to bo. ashamed. No
man 1b absolutely good, und It always
pains me greatly to seo one set himself
up b such. Neither should any man bo
admittedly all bad."
This arraignment came from Chancellor
E. Benjamin Androws o! tho university
nf Nnhraska. who nrcached Sunday morn
ing at the First Baptist church on "The
Gospel of Today." Tho speakers text was
il Corinthians, tho socoud verso
of the sixth chapter: "Behold now Is tho
accepted time; now Is the day ot saiva-
tlnn.11
"Do everything today that can possibly
be done today," said Chancellor Andrews.
"Do your work today; tnke your enjoyment
InAttv. no not no nn the nlan that you
wilt abstain from all pleasure and work
hard till you havo gained a competency,
and then lie back nnd bo happy. That Is
a foolish dream, and seldom comes true.
Cultivate the habit ot deriving eajoyment
from every day. Wo have a right to enjoy
every day 'of our lives, and legltlmato and
proper pleasuro Is to bo sought.
'Most of us from necessity lead secular
lives; lives good, perhaps, but not tm
mediately religious. Wo aro compelled to
got out and work for a living. This text
of 'today' Is a good ono to take Into this
secular life. The unnecessary postpone
ment of duties from ono day Is always a
matter of sadness. Tho habit grows upon
one. If over I lcavo my offlco with somo
labor left undone It Is with a sinking heart.
John Huskln woro a ring engraved with tho
ord 'today.' If I woro ono that would be
tho emblem upon It.
"Do not delay being good. Now Is the
lime. Death will not help you out. A
man who has led a bad llfo may .not con
sole himself with tho thought that it will
be tlmo enough to bo good after death.
His condition will not be Improved then,
but reduced.
"Wo nro liable to charge off our sins
pon tho temptations set out by tho body
and the world. This Is wrong. Somo dls-
caso In our souls Is responsible, somo pollu
tion. Purgo this. Tho humanity of Christ
has never once been questioned, even
though His divinity was. Yet Ho resisted
theso temptations of tho body nnd world."
AI.KS OF WATTS ANI HYMNS.
I lev. Tyuilnll I'liulx 11 Theme In the
Writer of I'rnlses.
In bin talk last night nt tho Trinity
Methodist church He v. D. K. Tlndall said:
My themo Is Isaac Watts and his hymns.
This great man was born at Southampton,
and waB, ot course, an Englishman. That
Uttlo country has given many great minds
thin world great statesmen, orators,
soldiers, poets and preachers. In stature
ho was small. On an occasion wh n his
smnll clzo was referred to ho replied In
erso wittily:
Though I could reach from pole to pole,
Anil span crention in my nnmi;
must be measured by my soul;
Tho mind Is the standard ot the mnn.
"Our own great Alexander .H. Stovons
wns n man ot small body. John Wesley
over weighed over 125 pounds, yet tow
men havo inoro greatly and worthily Im
pressed themselves on hls'tory than he.
Mr. Watts was most ot his tlmo In such
feeblo health, he was obliged to havo an
sslstant pastor In his charge. Tho sainted
John Fletcher wub also a man of feeble
body; but both theso servants ot God per
formed a vast amount ot labor. Isaac
Watts was really tho father of modern
hymnology. On saying to bis father that
he did not like tho hymns of their day, his
father said to his son Isaac: 'You better
them.' He did. Isaac Watts and Charles
Wesley are often compared as lyric poets.
This Is difficult to do, becauso each has a
tylo peculiar to himself. We had as well
try to compare Spurgeon and Talmago or
Longfellow nnd Milton as theso two hymn
writers. Watts Is stately, grand, sublime;
Wesley simple nnd spiritual. Watts Is like
a great cathedral with Its Imposing cere
monies nud elegant ritualism; Wesley Is
like a modest chapel tilled with revival
fire. Watts. In his 'Boforo Jehovah's
Awful Throne,' stirs tho Imagination to
lofty heights nnd causes the soul to won
der and revoro; whllo Wesley, In his
Jesus, Lover of My Soul,' leads tho heart
to lovo and adore.
"Isaac Watts said that Charles Wesley's
Wrestling Jacob' was worth more than
all he (Watts) had over written. Thoy
wcro both great singers, for they had the
great Christ In their hearts, nnd there Is
no singer like tho Christian singer. I
counted It, a great privilege once to stand
by tho sleeping dust ot Isaac Watts In
tho 'dissenter's burying ground,' on City
rond, London, where aro burled Daniel
Defoe, John Bunyan nnd Susannah Wesley.
This world Is much brighter nnd happier
by reason ot the lofty songs of Isaac
Watts."
ONLY TlfWE GUIDE TO MAHUIAGE,
Itev. Groli, In .Ills Sermon, Says It In
God's Word.
Marriage furnished 'a themo for the ser
mon of Rev. L. Groh at St. Mark's Lutheran
church, tho text being from John 11; 1-11.
He said:
"God Himself established marriage- in
Paradise. It Is Intended for man's highest
temporal happiness. Many are unhappy In
it who might bo supremely happy if thoy
properly understood. God's word Is tho
only truo guide. Many are disappointed
bocauso they seek soul rest In wedded love,
Nothing but tho lovo of God can supply
this. Anyone entering this stato without
tho knowledge ot God will find his heart
still longing. There nevor was a husband
without fallings, and nil wives have some
weaknesses. We must forbear even the
most noblo must. In God the heart can rest
serenely. Even reason without revelation
shows the moral necessity of marriage.
Tho family Is at tho foundation of all other
Institutions ot civilization; even' among tho
lowest heathen It must have somo recognl
tlon. Some law-givers tried to destroy
family life and enacted statutes requiring
universal frco love. Nature rebelled. Fam
ily life again asserted Its rights. Laws
cannot change man's nature. -I
"Look upon marrlago In the light ot
God's word. Jesus, when He had Just been
ordained by tho Holy Ghost power, was In
vited to a wedding in Cana, and there per
formed His first miracle Ho was uot
a rigid ascetic; He had full sympathy with
all legitimate Joy.
"Four things we learn from our lesson
First, that marrlago Is a holy ordinance,
made so by God Hlmsolf; second, He pre
serves It by His almighty powor; third,
He supplies all its needs; fourth, through
It Ho manifests Hlmsolf.
"Tho solomn betrothal ought to bo ns
sacred as marriage. In God's eye It Is
marriage. Hastily to mako engagements
and as hastily and lightly to break them Is
an abomination."

BEREAVEMENT NOT WITHOUT A SOLACE
God to IlrlnK Good from Suri
Cntnstroiilie, nnd Men to l.cnrn
Where Lies the Evil's
Itnot.
Dr. A. C. Hirst preached a sermon nt
tho First Methodist church last night In
.commemoration of the anniversary of thi
birthday of William McKlnloy, which will
bo January 29.
Governor Nash ot Ohio first suggested
that services be held m tho churches
throughout tho country In celebration, of
tho natal day ot the lamented president,
nnd this suggestion was taken up by Gov
ernor Snvago ond tho executives of other
states, who issued proclamations requesting
that all churches hold special services.
"Some men lovo art for art's sake. Mo-
Start loved music. Michael Angclo loved
painting. Somo men lovo virtue for Its
own sake nnd seek to attain high Ideals
that their lives may bo n power for good.
The verdict of tho world on tho llfo of
President McKlnloy wns written In tho
mourning of nil tho world at the tlmo of
his' assassination. In his death President
McKlnley did raoro for the unity of gov
ernments nnd the security of society than
ho did in all tho years ot his useful life.
Founded In NcnrncN to God.
"Thcro was such a 'blending of excellen
cies in tho character of tho lamented states
man that ho wns n wonderful power for
good. Tho foundation upon which all theso
elements woro based was his relation with
Qod. The strength of this nation has
lain not In Its resources und wealth, but
In Its great men. And most all of these
glantB had characters based on tho firm
foundation that mado President McKlnlcy's
llfo so useful. Tho pilgrims, tho heroes
of the revolutionary war, tho statesmen
who supported tho new government, and
tho heroes of tho civil war, were nearly all
ot tho same typo.
"Out of tho loss of such a man ns Presi
dent McKlnloy God will bring much good.
From calamity He will lend us on to great
ness. Tho cxnmplo of our inmentcu presi
dent will always bo with us and In our
trials his faith will support us. If ho
were to speak to us now, wo realize that
hu would urgo us on to higher standards
of morality; that ho would urgo Journals
throughout the length and breadth ot this
land to seek high and exalted Ideals, and
not the 'yellow' method which is a disgrace
to our civilization."
Dr. Hirst's remark concerning yellow
Journalism was greeted by hearty applause.
'I thank you for that hearty endorsement,"
the minister remarked, "and hope that
every homo In this land will rlso to quell
tho sort of Journalism which Is so danger
ous to our country's welfare."
Iloot nf the Evil.
Dr. Hirst then discussed tho causes ot
anarchy and suggested changes which would
do nway with tho conditions which mado
tho assassination of a president possible.
'It Is high tlmo that wo seek vital reli
gions," ho said. "Tho only dlfferehce be
tween anarchy and atheism Is tho spelling
ot the words. All atheists nro not an
archists, but nil anarchists are atheists.
Evory anarchist is his own god. In a
speech In Chicago, Herr Most declared that
thero Is no God, and said that the purposo
of anarchy Is to tear down altars. An
archy Is an effect. All effects have cause,
and we must search out tho causes ot an
archy. Carelessness In home training and
godlessness In education aro responsible
for much of our anarchy. Wo must get back
to God, back to tho pure, simple, personal
religion which mado tbo llfo and death ot
President McKlnley so beautiful."
Still Keens it Up.
"During a period ot poor health somo
tlmo ago I got a trial bottlo ot DeWltt's
Llttlo Early Risers," says Justice of tho
Peace Adam Shook of New Lisbon, Ind
'I took them and they did mo so much
good I have used them ever since." Sato.

Risers neither grlpo nor distress, but stlm
ulato tbo liver and promoto regular and

MONEY SEEKS0NE M'CAFFERY
lulled Stnten WnntN to Vay for Serv
ices Given During the Civ 1 1
Wnr.
The pension bureau of the United States
la looking for William McCaffery, a former
resident of Omaha, with the object of giv
ing him a sum ot money due ns a pension
for services rendered during tho civil war.
After exhausting tho usual resources of the
lepartmcut for finding pcrsous wanted, the
pension bureau has applied to tho post
master for Information nnd for several
weeks tho postofllce employes have been at
tempting to trace tho man.
Every family of McCnffcrys In the city
has been looked up, but none of them knows
that he Is In any way related to the Wil
liam McCaffery who Is wanted. Assistant
Postmaster Woodard. who has been In the
fflco about thirty years and probably knows
by namo moro persons than uuy other man
In tho city, bclloves that ho knows some
thing of tho Omaha history of the mnn,
but ho has no knowledge of his present res
idence. The William McCaffery who Is
supposed to bo tho man wanted lived In
Omaha about 1S70, but that Is all that he
can remember of him. The department, for
fear ot impostcrs, will not mention the
scrvlco with which McCaffery' wits con
nected, but states that there Is a consid
erable amount ot money duo him. It Is
supposed that the claim nf McCaffery was
mado while he resided In this city and re
ferred to an examiner for Investigation.
Thcro is another Nebraska claim which
has become famous In tho pension depart
ment, and that Is tho ono of Theodore
Eaton, who disappeared from Nebraska
about ten yearn ago. His wlfo afterwards
filed an application for n pension ns the
widow of n sdldler, setting up tho disap
pearance of Eaton and his long silence as
presumption of death. Tho matter was re
ferred to tho examiner at Omaha for Inves
tigation. It was sent from Omaha to Mis
souri, from thcro to California, thon to
Kentucky or Tennessee, thon to Ohio.
Traces of Eaton were supposed to havo been
found sufficient In tho opinion of tho de
partment to destroy, tho presumption of
ucntn, out tho man has never been discov
ered. About a year ago tho caso wus sent
back to Omaha for further Investigation,
but no new facts were discovered and tho
papers wcro returned to Washington.
FINDS A DIFFERENT FLORIDA

G. A. Kochler spent yesterday In Omaha
at the Merchants' hotel on his way to his
former homo In Macedonia, Neb. His son
Is with him, but Mrs. Koehler Is at the
Presbyterian hospital, helpless with rheu
matism. "We went to Florida from Macedonia
three years ago," said Mr. Koehler, "think
ing the climate thero would do her good,
but It didn't. In fact, Florida has been n
disappointment to us in almost every way.
o havo been down near Tnmpa finding out
how different Is tho real Florida from tho
Florida that you read ot in the advertising
pamphlets, and now wo know enough to
realize that a Nebraskan of limited means
will do woll'to remain In Nebraska.
'I supposed that I could go down thcro
and buy a modest grove, In which It would
bo only necessary to pick tho oranges and
pack them,. I found, on tho contrary, that
between the frosts that kill tho crop, the
whlto fly that cuts the leaves and tho scale
that saps the stems a man is kent about
as busy with nn' orange grovo as n vlllago
doctor In n sm&ilpox epidemic. And even
If tho amatcuruhort!culturlst wasn't both
ered by any of 'theso damaging agents, ho
would still havo tils hunds full, for the
groves require fertilizing on scientific lines
and by the time I could have learned to do
this correctly I wouldn't have had any
grovo left to work on.
"The first cost, too. Is enormous, tho
price ranging from $1,000 for an acre grovo,
unimproved, to' as much more as you can
pay. The oranges thoro havo a finer tasto
as they come from the trees, of course
than havo those wo eat up north, but thoy
cannot be packed Just ns thoy aro picked,
for thoy havo to bo first run through re
volving brushes to clean them of Insects.
Tho crop that thoy aro harvesting around
Tampa now is probably a largo and fine
ono, but I havo seen tho prellmlnariesnd
iuiuw mm uie receipts win nut ou net

"There is somo good lumber nround
where I was, but thero cannot be a great
deal dono with that now whilo tho Plant

At Labor temple Sunday afternoon Judgo

In favor of tho ownership by the public of
all such Industries nn lighting, water sup

"Tho experience ot cities In this country

why tho surplus which arises from such
plants should not bo turned Into the public
exchequer to reduce taxation, nnd thus be
of direct benefit to the city and Htate, In
stcad of being tho fruits of prtvato ex
ploitation for the benefit of n fow.
"In Berlin there Is now a surplus from
such publicly owned Industrie"! of $40,000
a year, which goes toward tho reduction of
tnxes. A surplus always results from such
ownership. Europo Is full of examples of
this truth, nnd tho secret of tho fact that
European cities arc, ns n rule, so much
better off than thoso In this country In this
respect Is thnt they have taken up public
ownership more extensively.
Economy of Public Ownership
"Thero nro other benefits. Rates for tho
supply will bo cheaper, nnd the wages of
tho employes will be higher ond their hours
shorter. Economical administration of the
Industries will certainly bring this about
and economy is bound to follow tho elimina
tion from tho management of such utilities
as high salaries for many useless officials
and directors, big dividends nnd sums spent
for securing and maintaining political In
fluence and power. Tho public can conduct'
tho Industries cheaper than prlvato powers.
Municipal corruption would also bo re
duced by the change.
"So surely ns tho public con handle the
schools nnd libraries and postal system
can It also tnko enre of other utilities.
Meanwhile, In tho railways, for Instance,
tho power Is constantly becomtng more
centralized, which Is manifestly unfavorable
to tho people. Unless tho tide is stemmed
there will soon be In this country no more
than two or three big railroad systems,
with ono or two men swinging tho Influ
ence." RECRUITS FOR PHILIPPINES
Omnlm Itecrultlnir Stntlon Secnres
Fiirty-Two Men for Army
In January.
During tho month of January forty-two
recruits to tho army ot tho United States
havo been secured by Colonel Spurgln, ro
crultlng ofllcer at Omaha. Ot theso ro
crults eleven hnve been In tho service be
fore, ono enlisting last week for tho fourth
time.
At the present time tho demand for re
cruits Is principally for service In the
Philippines and this Is satisfactory to the
majority of tho soldiers, for with very
fow exceptions tho men ask to bo sent to
the islands. Once in a whllo n man will
nsk to bo sent to somo regiment now In
the United States, generally because he has
served In that regiment or has friends
there.
Thero Is an opportunity for fifteen re
crults to servo In the United States for
some time at least, ns orders have boen
received to recruit fifteen men for serv
ice In tho Thirteenth cavalry, which Is
now stationed nt Fort Robinson. There Is
no way ot telling bow long this regiment
will remain in the country, but It Is be
lloved that It will be hero for almost a
year at least, as tho notlco of tho move
ment of troops recently Issued by General
Miles does not Include that regiment.
Transports leavo tho United States once
In rlftcon days and It will tako nearly three
months to move troops now under orders.
Tho charactor of tho men now ottering
themselves for enlistment Is unusually
high, as at this time of tho year there
Is llttlo general Work offered for common
laborers and farm hands, so they rush to
the recruiting office.
