TITE OMATIA DAILY REE: MONDAY. JANUARY 2. 100?. 8 SHOULD BE STRONG TO DO Enerfj of tin 8pirit Pleaded for bj Rev. A. C. Clark. DR. CONLEY fiN HUMAN STEWARDSHIP nBem Prk M. K. diarch Bfri Wltsiess to Fsltklal Lives Belief lm m Fersoael Svlo Power, fal (or Holiness. Rev. A. C. Clarke preached his New Tear s sermon to a large congregation at Lowe Avenue CongrrgallomU church yes terday morning, taking for hi subject the word. "Strength Renewed." "The new year begins with nature doing Its best," Bald Kev. Mr. Clarke. "If we are not feeling right this morning It la pretty safe to aay that it is our own fault In. contemplating the new year before ua tt Is well to remember the eternal conflict between good and bad. We long to live in a victorious mate of life and not in bond age; but we must remember that even the best of us have our limitations. In analyz ing the trouble with most of us. perhaps It will be found that we trust too much to the energy of the flesh Instead of the en ergy of the spirit. We are prone to depend too much upon our self-reliance, education, position In society, strength of will power, etc., but these all go down under the rush of strong temptations. This Is one of the big reasons why so many of the New Years' leaves do not slay turned more than a week or so. Those In the best society are Just us subject to temptation as the Ignorant who live In brothels. "One of the greatest needs .of the year will be to listen to the word of Ood, and to have It In our Inmost soul. Nowadays we read almost everything but the Bible. Recently I was told of a woman who pe rused the word of Ood so frequently that she wore out three bibles In three years. She was a Christian Scientist, and what ever I may think of the philosophy of that creed. If It makes people read the Bible that much It accomplishes some good in bringing persons Into closer touch with their Maker. "But It Is futile to know and not to do, and one of the greatest sources of our con demnation lies in disregarding our knowl edge. "The promises of Ood are useless unless we cash them. We often put emotion In the place of Ood. We are more or less creatures of moodj and do things when we feel like doing them. This Is not the way to gain the strength of Ood, and moods have no part In carrying out His work." TIllnt'TK TO THOSE iOK AHEAD llanseom Park Clinrch Draws Lessons from I'seful I.Ives. In Hanscom Park Methodist Episcopal church yesterday morning the servlre was a memorial to the year's deceased among the congregation. These numbered five gnu were David A.- Lenhart, Charles A. Chi, Mrs. Peter Whitney, Fred Foster and James S. Stone. The service took the na ture of tributes to the church life and character gf each of those who had gone out from among the Jiving. Members ot the congregation read these tributes and Rev, Mr. Clssell. the pastor, added Home comments to each and drew lessons from their lives for the living members of the church. Mr. Chi died December 8. I!i03; Mrs. Whitney February 3 and Mr. Foster February 2S, 1901. Among other things Mr. Clssell said: "Why Is It the house of Ood Is not to us all as, It wae to the deceased. The church Is our home. Here we are baptised helpless Infants In our mothers' arms; from the house of God most of us are carried to the last resting place; the last benediction over the clay Is here. Why Is not the church the cent.- round whlcti all our lives turn? Why Is not the church efcere the Interest of our children centers? Borne people live so we wonder what the world will do with out them.- Caring little, thinking lees, about themselves only of others, If they can help a little to shelter others a little from the wintry blasts. Some people take the world by storri. but such an ohe was not this, who was more like the power of sunlight stealing into our hearts without our knowl edge. We thank God for such. In the fore front of your New Year's resolutions de cide to so live that some one will say, 'I would like to get next to that person-he lifts me up.1 May Ood bless the memory of our brother and sisters gone before and keep beautiful the Immortelle of memory. May it please Him to keep those here today alive in the flesh to come again on next New Year's day." BELIEF IX A PERSONAL SAVIOR Necessary to Worthy Participation in the noly Communion. "This la the sacramental season," said Rev. John Hummon, pastor of the Kountze Memorial church, at the morning service in the Young Men s Christian Association auditorium yesteidaj. "The sacrament Is an appeal to the royal banquet made sa cred by the body and blood of Jesus Christ. To partake of It we should be clothed In the garb of holiness. How Im portant Is it that we should be prepared to partake ot) the sacrament. To par take of It we must believe In Christ as our personal Savior. We must be able to stand before Ood redeemed through our faith in Jesus Christ, perfect creature. The sacrament Is the emblem of the broken body of Jesus Christ and his shed blood. Simply, then, to partake of this sacra ment we must avow our faith In Christ; think of and accept Him as our Savior, Lord and King. They who partake are those who understanding hear and con fess Christ. Hearken not to your own hearts, but hear ye His voice. God has no' pleasure In the death of the wicked, but desires that they may live and be re deemed. Jesus hath said, 'Come unto Me. I will in no wise cast you out.

"I presume ministers are expected to keep sermons on tap all the time," wss the smiling greeting of Rev. Dr. J. W. Conley. at the First Paptlt church yester day morning. "I expected Rev. H. C. Mable, D. D., of Boston, to preich this mernlng, but nn hour before coming to church he telephoned me that his voice was In such a condition that he would not be able to sre-ik. He Is In the city, how ever, and will speak In Lincoln later In the week." From this point Dr. Conley plunged Into an Interesting sermon on faithful stewardship. "Everything we have belongs to Ood and these gifts were Riven us to be used for His glory," he said. "When we have com prehended this truth In Its full signifi cance we have mastered one of the most Important truths of the Christian life. Cn falthfulness brings untold misery and un happlness, whether In the Christian or the business life. "We are the stewards of gifts that be long to Another and we must make of them the best use In our power. To do this we must know His will. This He makes known to us through the Bible. Ood appeals to man through his Intelli gence, reason and Judgment. He appeals to common sense, not to the emotion. In the book of Revelation the lord makes known His will. The church of Christ has no excuse fur existence If It Is not doing His work. This work Is saving souls. Some people believe the church Is a body of baptized believers. Well, If we arc going to be a church we have got to do the work of God. If we are not doing that we are not a church. You can't make a church out of creeds. If we are golns to save men we must do something more than preach. "We are stewards of the gifts, the talents llo hasf given us. We must be faithful stewards of these gifts and make of them the best showing possible. The employe must do the will of his employer If he Is faithful and not use the time, that Is his employer's to advance hi own sclfl3h In terests. Many characters cannot rise above their own' selfishness. If their plans are crossed by another they nre offended and charge the Injury to sensitiveness. Sensi tiveness Is next door to selfishness God likes quality, but He nlso wanta quan. tity. Oh. what power for good might be exerted by those of you who hava social position, who have powers of mind, gifts of speech, the prestigs of Influence. God has given you these gifts. You are merely the stewards of them an! He expects you to make a faithful accounting of every one of them." WORK AHEAD KOH THE CHIRCII Savins of Bonis Its Mission and Idle ness Its I nduing. At the Second Presbyterian church Rev. Newman Hull Burdlck spoke from I. Deu teronomy, 6: "Ye have dwelt long enough In this mount." In beginning he told of the great advancement mudo In the world along tins lines of science, Industry and freedom, and then quoted predictions as to the fu ture. He asked how the church had kept up with the progress and read figures to show tho great work done In the missionary Held. Dr. Burdlck considered the church must be a soul-saving church. This was tho reason for Christ's Incarnation, His life, His sufferings. His deuth. For this work tho church had been preserved and could commit no worse sin than to forget It. The importance of the all Inclusive end and aim could not be overemphasize Churches must unite. When they turned from fighting the devil to fight one another It waa ,. backward step. The twentieth century church must be Intensely aggressive. It must get in closer touch with the people. The old methods have decayed for they did not produce the result. The small number of converts showed this. Also It Is seen In the light In which the church is regarded by the world and Its members as third or fourth In Importance. The numerous out side agencies formed to do the work of the phnph UTi. C2...Ttni. i ....... uu,uii:n c-uuwea, meant new memoes were necejry. The great num ber of Idle Christians showed It.

BRIDGE 0PEN TO TRAFFIC Public Takes Advantage of Oppor tunity to See the Big? Strnrtare. Without even the semblance of formality he Illinois Central bridge was thrown open to the public yesterday. In a figurative ense the viaduct has been closed: since the beginning of the present Improvements. but while teams could not go over the tructure It hns been used by the Illinois Central trains. The last spike was driven Into the bridge last Wednesday, but there were some finishing touches to be made and It was not until Saturday evening that the debris was all cleared away. Yesterday there was almost a continuous stream of carrluges In the direction of the bridge and a great many people made the trip In tte street cars and walked over the. structure. The .first train to cross since the opening of the bridge to teams was No. 1, which Is due In this city at 8:05 a. m. Travel In the direction of the viaduct began about noon and It continued until dusk. The structure was generally admired and every Inch was critically ex amined. Its masslveness and architectural breadth and height were things that ap pealed to every one, but there were among the visitors many railroad men and others able to appreciate the technical features of the work. Federal Insurance Control. The Chicago Tribune of recent date says, editorially: . The president has urged congress to con sider whether the power of the bureau of corporations cannot constitutionally be ex tended to cover Interstate transactlonj In insurance, tie says that the business of In surance is national and not local In its ap illcution. Involving, as It does, a multitude of transactions among rhe people of thu different statea and among the Insurance companies and foreign governments. Hie largd, responsiuie companies wouia not protest against national supervision. Thev have nothing to conceal. Nation! control would bear no more hardly on them than does the state control to which they are subjected. The life insurance com panies which do considerable business In tureign countries when not discriminated ugaiiiht by theli laws and regulations are wining to gel unuer ine wing oi me na tional government. The secretary of commerce and labor doea not speak encouraglng'y. He sayj the de cisions of- the supreme court have estab lished th legal proposition that tire, llf and marine Insurance, In tho foims pre sented to the cw'rt, ore not interstate com merce. If Inst .ice in none oi its forms Is Interstate con.merce, all that the bureau of corporations could do would bo to collect and compile statistics voluntarily furnished It. That wouiu ue mere uupucation or in a statistics obtained by state officers. When the law for the suppression oi tne lottery traffic through national and Inter state commerce" was enacted It was con tended by many that lottery tickets and advertising did not come under the head of interstate commerce, but the supreme court upheld the law. The court may hold when the question is suDmuiea 10 u in a new form that the Insurance business un der existing conditions Is Interstate com merce and may be subjected to federal reg ulation. The business Is one which has- developed rapidly and has reached enormous propor tions It has become essential to the wel fare of the country tnat it snouia De non- estly and Judiciously conducted. If federal control is permissible It should be exer cised. The only way to determine whether It Is permissible is to legislate on the as sumption that it is. and let the supreme court decide the question. New Orleans and Return SRtl.no.

ADVISES DISALLOWANCE 0F ELEVEN People Who Want t Ity Money tor Real or Imaginary Harts Will Be Compelled to tio Into onrt. Since November 1 eleven damage claims, aggregating 32,9f", were filed against the city. In every one of the.e eleven cases City Attorney limlert has made an In vestigation and has filed with the city clerk a recommendation that the claims be dis allowed. A reason for refuFlnR these claims is given in each case. O.Ums for tl'O.UOO for runaways alleged to have been caused by the leaving of a roller on South Twenty-fourth street during the paving are on file. In each of these cases the city attorney says that In his opinion the city Is not llabjo and recommended that the claims be not allowed. Most of the other claims are for Injuries alleged to have been caused by defective sidewalks. These per sonal Injury claims have been investigated by tho sptcliU agent of the legal depart ment and upon these reports the city at torney bases his reports to the mayor and council. Henrietta Eden and Christina Herbst ask the city to pay them $7W) each as damages to their property at Twenty-seventh and R streets on account of the dosing of the grade crossing under the Q street viaduct. These two claims the attorney passes with the statement that the claimants have no standing In law and suggests that no further attention be paid to the claims. Charles Cummlngs wants $j00 for damages to his property on West L street by rea son of the building of the Burlington via duct across tho tracks at Thirty-eighth street, and Mrs. Alice Renehan wants $1, 000 for the same reason. Mr. Lambert calls the attention of the council to the report of the appraisers, who reported that these two pieces of property were not damaged by the building of the bridge. During the year l'.M twenty-nine damage claims were filed against tho city. These claims ranged all tho way from Jo0 to $10,000. Nearly all of the claims, with the exception of this last batch, have been compromised by the payment of from j) to $150. Some of the claims were dropped and less than half a dozen were appealed to the district court. By the pulling up of defective sidewalks the city officials hope to prevent so many personal Injury claims from .coming In. In the eleven cases Mr. Iambert has re ported on adversely the city la prepared to fight the matter out In the courts If need be, and In case Judgment Is given against the city he will carry the cases to the supreme court.
