r.ov. John MeVey of Bing-hamton, N. T.,
ordjpieiJ Ih.r pulpit at the Klrat Presby-t-rlau
rhun.h y.aterday murnlns;. He
took for hlit text (Jalatlan. second chapter
nd Iwcnihtli vi-ree: "1 am crucified with
Christ; nevertht-lefs I live; yet not I. but
Christ llveth In me, and the life which I
nnw live In the flesh 1 live by the faith of
the (ton of 0'd, who loved me and gave
himself for me." I
He said In part: "Man's being- la capable
of enrichment. He become", wiser and bet
ter by his Busoclatton with that which Is
good, and by the absorption of hla en
lronment. The environment of nature Is
C'pod. but that of humiin companionship Is
belter. This Is Invar.ably shown by the
alkinrptlon of weaker nation by stronger
nation. It wan so with the Individual
I'aul because of the absorption of the spirit
of t'hrlst within him and he and the world
were mnrte the better for It. Another il
lustration Is In the story of Robinson Cru
soe. The environment of hla natural asso
ciations on his Island were good, but he
lucked human companionship. He neoded
something lo draw him out and develop his
energies anil affections. He cMllied Fri
day, and the more association with Friday
did him good. It wan so with Adam. God
an Id it Is not good for man to be alone.
It was so with David and Jonathan and
with Luther and Melanchthon In the great
work of the reformation, each needed the
other and enoh was enriched with the
other's association.
"There are, too, cases Illustrating the
enrichment of the many by one perron.
This la notably so in the case of Spurgeon,
the jtri'Ut Kngllsh preacher, each of nil an
dltors being fed according to their need
by the message he brought them. C nil
Uren are enriched by their pnrenta. wives
by their husbands, children by their teach
rs. Enrichment of beings by the lives of
others is a general law and we profit by
It as we enjoy an enrichment of being
through . Jesus Christ. Paul, though edu
cated and a graduate of the schools of
Jerusalem, and a man of rare Intellectual
endowments with the view to becoming a
rabbi among the Hebrews, gained a great
er knowledge of the scriptures through his
conversion through Jesus Christ than all
hla teachers could g.ve him. Nothing can
be compared with the knowledge of Jesus
Christ. First of all there must be a yield
lng to Christ and the effacement of sin in
the atoning blood of Christ. We must make
ourselves familiar with His word and work.
A righteous and diligent use of these things
will bring us In closer relation with Christ
The abundance of every need Is In Christ,
Ask of Him and ye shall receive. We are
enriched because He lives within us and
it should be the aim of all of us to abide
by Him to the end."
of war? Why do we thrill at accounts of
bravery In the ordinary routine of daily
life, acts wherein danger Is defied? Why
Is all literature filled with accounts of
heroism? It Is because we all admire the
element which we have named heroic. Hut
there Is a species of dare devllism which
Is not heroism. Men do things which en
danger their liven for the amusement of
the crowd, things which are not heroic, for
they serve no useful purpose and axe not
necessary; these are crimes. Then there
Is another sort of action which 1 not
heroic, for It Is unconscious. ' There Is the
story of a man who was employed to work
among the wild animals of a circus. He
was told to clean the cage of a flerce Hon,
the foreman thinking; that the man would
clean It with a hose, but the new man
went Into the cage with a mop and cleaned
It. Luckily he got out safe. This wps
not heroism, because he did not know he
was In danger. It Is what we call the
sense of duty which causes us to do things
which we know are brave. That man who
Is afraid yet perseveres In the act which
e knows to be full of danger Is the
bravest man. .
You and I cannot live the Christian life
without being heroic. Think of the early
Christian martyrs who were burned, suf
fering horrible deaths rather than deny
their faith. Think of the Christians In
barbaric lands who have been tortured by
their race and have held to the faith. But
there are Christian heroes today, for he
who follows Christ must be heroic.
"To deny myself I must Ignore self. Belf
Is a bundle of desires demanding satlsfac
tlon, but I must Ignore these. If I have
mustered self it Is well, but If the desires
have conquered me I will fall In the Chris
tlan life. I must forget as well as Ignore
self. It Is easy to Ignore the appetites, but
It Is hard to forget them. As the soldier
desperately wounded continues to fight, for
getting his pain in the battle, so will we
wrapped In the Christian work, go on for
getting self. Difficult? Yes. It requires
heroism. Then I must surrender self to
Christ, not as the cringing, beaten slnve,
but wholly, as a mother loves her child.
This requires heroism. Last I must crucify
seir. must put self to death. Oh, but It
calls for heroin qualities to be a Christian,
it calls for the best and highest of the
land.
To be a Christian I must take up the
cross. For I believe there Is a cross In
Christian life. If the Christ mint take
His cross to the bitter end. I do not dare
to deny His words. He who would follow
Me must take up his cross.' The cross Is
voluntary, but listen, 'No cross, no crown.1
If any would be crowned with Christ they
also must take up the cross."

Man Can Only Fulfill Hla Destiny fly
Work.
Rev. K. B. Dean of Clinton, Iowa, spoke
from the pulpit of St. Mary's Avenue Con
gregntlonul church Bundny morning. He
dwelt upon the holiness of work. He de
dared that the Lord gave the world to man
uncompleted and that It was the duty o
mankind to develop and amplify the world,
to complete It In every sense. The raw
material was given to man and from tha
lias come, IlirouRh the efforts of mankind
all of our modern civilisation. The first
man and woman were alone In a garden
which was known as Eden. They had no
friends, no co-workers, they did not even
know of any existence without the pale of
the garden and, then, was given to them
the duty of working out the will of God
Through Ood and man the wild animals
were tamed and their species multiplied,
the rocks were bullded Into houses, schools.
churches and the thousand other buildings
of our civilisation; the stone age became
one of copper and then of Iron, steel and
aluminum. Earth, fire, air and water were
all brought under the Bpell of God and man
and a part of the work set apart for tnan
waa begun.
' He told of the story of the talenta an
drew a parallel between the use of the
money and mum power to work. To every
man Is given the power and the strength to
labor and because he can see so little resA
from his labors because of Its Insignificance
compared with the whole Is no reason why
he should not try. Whatever we do toward
the completion of the earth, spiritual and
material,. Is done In tKe light of Ood and
Is holy work.
He who digs a ditch well Is doing his
own part in the scheme of things as well
as he who builds cities or spreads knowl
edge broadcast. The remits may not be so
apparent but one Is as necessary as the
other. The world is not yet complete. On
every sldo we And evil, both spiritual and
material, but we are trying to outgrow
that, to crush It out. We must have
spiritual and material completeness before
we have fulfilled the law of Ood by work
ing with and for Him. That end can be at
tained if all labor to the same end.

Grass Longer This Season
Than Common.
Railroad officials located here say that the
western run of cattle will not commence
sooner than August 15. The ranges are In
excellent condition all over the west and
northwest, with the exception of a few
spots. On this account ranchmen are let
ting their herds grow fat on the luxuriant
grasses. There la little demand for feeders
here now. This Is csused by farmers being
too busy in the fields and fcy the putting by
of late corn. Borne farmers who are gen
erally on the market at this time to buy
early shipments of feeders say that they
are holding back to see how the corn crop
this year turns out. Commission men at the
yards say that more beef cattle will be
shipped in here this year than ever before.
When the busy season commences at the
yards the packers will work full time and
then some, and It Is expected that the
feeder market will be the best In the his
tory of the yards. Already the cattle re
celpts at tho yards show an Increase over
last year of 42,906 head, and by the end of
the year this Increase will most likely tie
more than doubled. There fs an Immense

trirty million packages of "Force" food
had been Sold before it occurred to some
one to circulate a rumor, that It
drugged to promote appetite.
The absurdity of the rumor Is apparent
when It Is considered that there Is not a
single case on record of these fifty million
packages having Injured a single Individ
ual.
Aside from this, the government inspec
tlon of foods, and the health department of
every city would have promptly put a stop
to tne sale or any rood sold In such quan
titles which contained any unwholesome
Ingredient whatever.
That tne "force" company are fully
aware of the Insidious nature of such
rumor ana suspect an Interested origin
Is shown by their offer of 15,000 reward for
the conviction of Its Initiators or circula
tors. Their further offer of 15,000 moro for proof
that a single package of the fifty millions
sold contained any injurious substance
whatever (being made solely from whole
wheat and barley, seasoned with table salt)
shows how empty such rumors can be, and
how energetically the "Force" company
follow up an attempt upon their market.
The magnitude of the Injustice done is in
dicated by the fact that It has . cost the
"Force" company over 1G0.00Q to refute the
rumor In the newspapers of the United
States and Canada, exclusive of such Injury
as may have been temporarily done to the
sale of their product.

be satisfied with this market and the treat

Julv 25 last year there Is an Increase In
sheep receipts of 141,000 head.
While there Is a decrease In hog- receipts
of 31,000 head It. Is expected thnt this will be
made up. Traveling solicitors for commis
sion dealers say that there will be plenty of
hogs sent to this market a little later on.
Nttr Machine Shops.
Work Is progressing rapidly on the ma
chine shops being built by the Union Stock
Yards company at C and the boulevard.
These shops are of frame, with a brick
veneer, and will be modern In every re
spect. It Is the Intention or the stock yards
company to do Its own repairing as noon as
the shops nre ready. In the past stock
yards locomotives have been sent to Mis
souri Valley or other points to be repaired
and the time lost In getting the engines
back caused the company to construct Its
own repair shops. Three carloads of ma
chinery have alreadv been received and
more la to come. In about a month the
shopa will be completed and then all repair
work will be done In South Omaha. It is
the Intention of the stock yards officials to
get all Its engines In first-class condition
before the big run commences in the fall.

ROUND TOWER IN WORKROOM
Mot" Devices for Observation of Kn-
nloyea and Protection of Fnnds
at PoofBce.
One of the Interesting features of the new
addition to the postofflce -workroom, which
will be ready for use In a few months, is a
round tower constructed of hollow bricks
similar to those used In the Interior walls
of the building, having windows which will
be covered with an Iron scroll similar to the
registers for heating and ventilating. This
tower is open at the bottom, but hsa no
means for Ingress or egrrsB Into the work
room. There has been some speculation as
to the use of this tower, out the mystery
was cleared up yesterday by one of the
officials In the building, who announced that
It la to be a watch tower, from which the
action of every employe In the workroom
can be observed while the employe Is un
conscious of espionage. It Is large enough
to permit two persons to be seated, so that
there can be more than one person watching
the employes of the office If necessary.
In the present workroom there are two
such places which will remain, and In ad
dition to the tower, there Is another point of
secret observation from which the workmen
can be watched. These four places give the
Inspectors a full view of the entire floor
space devoted to the handling of the mulls
and place every workman under observa
tion. The advantage of such observation
places has been demonstrated In many
cases, according to the ststement of offi
cers connected with the Postofflce depart
ment and has led to the arrest of persons
who were never suspected of wrong-doing,
while people suspected of crookedness have
been found to be Innocent. By reason of the
entrance to the tower being- In the cellar
of the bulldlug.no one can know when an
inspector Is on watch, and In the opinion
of the workmen and officials the towers
have the effect of perpetual Inspection of
the work.
In addition to this method of Insuring
safety to the malls the safety of the funds
of the office are Insured by means of the
electric device, a full description of which
was published In The Bee recently. This
system Is not completely installed, but the
final work will probably be done this week.
Alter mm nas neen connecren to tne nat
terles and the wires connected with a gong
at the office of the American District Tele
graph company It will be impossible for any
person, either employe or Interloper, to
enter the vault In the postmaster's office
without notifying the district telegraph
office. When the system Is ready to operate
the postmaster will notify the officers of the
telegraph company the hours at which the
doors of the vault will be opened and closed.
Alarms at those hours, and from the time
the vault Is opened until It is closed, will
not be responded to, but from the hour of
closing to the hour of opening- any alarm
will bring the watchman with city officers.
The wires have been laid In the vault,
covering the sides, the floor and the cell
ing, and all thnt now remnlns to do Is to
cover the doors. These will he covered hv

concealed, and over these doors will be the
announcement In large letters that the

After a separation of nearly three months
James Nichols, an employe of the gas and
electric light company In Council Bluffs,
discovered his daughter In Omaha yester
day under circumstances that were any
thing but happy. The girl, whose name Is
Mabel, had become one of a class of so
ciety that Is shunned by persons who value
morality, and apparently Is thoroughly In
ured to the life. She absolutely refuses to
become reunited to her family.
"I am 20 years old and my own boss,"
she s-tld Bt tho police station yesterday.
"I will not go back and keep house for
my father. Neither he nor any one else
can drive me, and I have no desire for that
kind of an existence."
Nichols for months has been trying to
find his daughter. He is an old man,
rather bent, and has hardened palms. Good
nature and shrewdness are In his eyes,
but there are pathetic hollows In his cheeks
and wrinkles of care across his forehead.
Ills family In Council Bluffs was once a
happy one, and now nothing remains of
the home. Shortly after his wife died,
Mabel, whose right name Is Kittle, began
to show signs of waywardness. To
strengthen the family Income they had two
boarders.
Sot Een a Goodbye Rote.
"I left home one morning, and the day
never seemed briahter." said Nichols. "The
girl was busy about her work and I did
not expect that a life of loose morality hud
anv comnolllnir charm for her. When I
returned that night the table was not set.
and the two boarders and myself had to get
our meal elsewhere. Tho girl had taken
all her personal possessions and left with
out even a note of goodbye."
From that day until yesterday the father
never rested his hunt for the daughter.
He heard she was in Kansas City, nntl
went there and searched the red-light dis
trict of the city. Once he came almoHt
upon her, only to find that she had left
Kansas City the day before. Later he paid
a visit to Sioux City and heard that his
daughter was an Inmate of a questionable
resort. For some time she- has been living
In Omaha.
Nichols came across the river yesterday
morning and enlisted the services of Pa-
trolinjin Ed Heelan. The former had no
Idea where the girl was staying, other than
some place In the burnt regions. The only
course open was a tour through all the
habitations of Iniquity. They began about
8:30. House after house was canvassed, the
Inmates staring with heavy eyes from pil
lows In use but a few hours. The desire
for the latent Bleep was too strong to be
thwarted more than a few moments in con
templation of the anxious old man looking
for a fallen gill.
Refuses to Reform.
At last the officer and the searcher
reached an establishment at 112V4 North
Ninth street. The curtains were drawn
and the inmates lost in deep-breathed sleep
In an atmosphere tainted with stale alco
holic fumes and cigarette smoke. The offi
cer pounded on the door of a room with
hla club. A young woman came and threw
It open, and, eeelng the old man. screamed
and rushed to the bed, on which she fell
sobbing.
"Take him away," Bhe begged the officer.
'I will not go with him. This Is my life
and he has no business here."
It was half nn hour before the girl could
be Induced to dress and go to the police
station. Tho old man, apparently, was
speechless. He held his head In his hands
and said nothing.
Her eyes red from weeping, a scarf
thrown about her fueled blonde hair, and
her coarsened lips set firmly, the girl was
taken before Sergeant Hayes, and Nichols
told the story. Several times the girl
seemed about to break Into tears, but her
toughened fibre withstood the attacks of
such elementary emotion. When she re
fused to go home with the old man, they
locked her up. But little hope Is enter
tained for her reformation.
Mabel Nichols was released late last
night on a 110 bond.
