8 TIIE OMAITA DAILY PEE: MONDAY. MATCIT 0, 100.'. ADVANCING THE OUTPOSTS Forward Movement Secretary McOonanghy Tells of Mission Needs. s STEADY GIVING IS THE GREAT NEED Iter. Dp. C'onlej, In a World-View Sermon, Draw Innplradon for Christians from the War In the Far East. With a map of the world tied behind him, David ilcConaughy, forward movement secretary of the I'reshyterian Board of Foreign, Missions, preached forward move ment in the First I'rtobyturlan church Sun day, using for his purpose tho story of the feeding of the multitude with the loaves and the fishes. "Only one mlraclo have we been told of la all of the gospels, " he said, "and that Is the feeding of the multitude. So no wonder we examine It clopely and nee In It the problem of the evangelist. We see that the outer world of heathenism Is the great desert. A billion Immortal souls made In the image of God, with possibilities as great as any of ours, waiting, waiting, as they have since lie came down to .earth caylng, 'I am the bread of life.' "As I think of thfs multitude I ask, what is the church doing for them? Thank Ood for what the church Is doing. "There are three solutions; two are to send them away, or to say that the work Is too stupendous. The Presbyterian church has five to ten billions of wealth in the United States and If we rose to the mini mum of the Hebrews and gave the tithe ws would have 100,000,000 a year for mis sions. Think of It, our liquor bill for a year la $1,600,000,000; we burn up in smoking $00, 000,000'; for the entire continent we give to missions $3,000 000.- "The third answer Is the lad In the para ble who had the five barley loaves and the two fishes. Is not that the answer of the Young Men's Christian association that of fered ,000 to the work. They came knock ing at the doors and were turned away, for the church was not ready." The speaker then explained that the sys tematic giving was what was wanted, whereby every member of the church gave each week a certain amount for missions, what he felt he could afford. Second, a living link was to be maintained between the church and the station for which It became responsible. A missionary was to send letters and the church was to have missionary meetings and study the work. In this way every member of the First church would have a share and responsibll- ity In tho great mission of the world. A MIGHTY WOn It FOR CHRIST Her, Dr. Conley Tells of Significance of Far Eastern Events. It ' might be called a world-view sermon which Rev. J. W. Conley, D. D., preached Sunday morning at the First Baptist church. Taking for his text an expression of John, "Lift up your eyes and look," he said in part: "I fear we have very little Idea of the , really far-reaching significance of the con flict now going on In the east. It means new history not only for Asia, but for 'America. The last century was one of missionary effort, pre-eminently. It is difficult to appreciate the tremendous changes In religion brought about by that ffort Christianity Increased three times as much during the nineteenth century as It had in fifteen centuries preceding. This extraordinary thing goes on with a stead ily augmenting power, and the twentieth century Is to be the grandest for achieve ment In the history of the world. "The significance of the text Is that we must lift up our eyes and look; must lift them for a time from observing business, pleasure, money-making, and take In the significance of the great movement trans piring In the world." Reviewing the mission fields of India, China, the Philippines and Japan, Dr. Conley presented to his congregation some very Interesting facts concerning the growth of the church In numbers and In power for Christ. "The mightiest movements of the world today," he said, "are the Christian move ments, wherein Qod Is working so strongly for the betterment of the world. In the Philippines our great need Is for workers; then- the harvest Is sure. In Japan there has been a very remarkable change In the attitude of the people toward Christianity because of the loyalty of the Christian Japanese In the present struggle. They have proved the readiest and most helpful In all respects, and Christian workers there, mainly English and American, have been welcomed with Joy Into the Japanese hospitals, where they are not only healing, but spreading the message of life. The sympathy of England and the United States for Japan has been a powerful Influence for good.

Dr. Conley laid emphssls on the need for money to push the work now under way. and the annual collection for that purpose was taken up. OITLOOK IS JAPAX IS BHIGIIT Returned Missionary Rmphaalsea Weed for Continued Effort. Rev. W. T. Jones, formerly a Presby terian missionary In Japan and now en gaged In the forward movement,' occupied the pulpit of the Second Presbyterian church yesterday morning and gave an In teresting talk of the Japanese mission flVId nnd the purpose of the new forward move ment. Speaking of woman's abject condi tion of life In the mikado's empire, Rev. Mr. Jones said: "While there Is a dire state of things with relation to woman's status In Japan, yet there never was a time when a more hopeful story could be told of the awaken ing Interest being manifested In Japan and of the victories of the missionaries, "Many people who suw the wonderful Japanese exhibits at the' recent world's fair ventured the opinion that It Is like sending conls to Newcastle to send mis sionaries to Japan, cohveylng the Idea that such Intelligent people do not need the word of the true and living God. I would say that such an Idea Is not In harmony with the real conditions existing In Japan. Japanese literature, and In fact every branch of Japanese knowledge. Is saturated with the heathen teachings of Confucian Ism Buddhism and Shlntoism. "This forward movement Is an Idea con ceived to have the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Over 2,000 churches throughout the country are now taking up the movement and pushing It to a successful Issue. The Savior's last command was 'Go ye Into all the world and preach the gospel to every living creature,' Let us be loyal and sympathetic In this great work." LOWLY .PRECIOIS AS MIGHTY God Is No Respecter of Conditions In ChooiliiK His Instruments. Rev. E. Comble Smith at the First Meth odist church Sunday morning preached con cerning the inspiration of the poor and lowly by God and Impressed upon his con gregation the fact that the humblest being Is as likely to be Illumined by the spirit as the greatest among men. ' "We have lost sight, I think," said Rev. Smith, "of the close touch the divinity has with the child of the sod, but the scriptures teach us that tlod does guide men in the commonest affairs of our dally life. We have fallen Into a habit of mak ing a distinction with the Intellectual on one hand and the vulgar on the other and we leave God out of the latter. We do not see the necessity of inspiration for the farm hand who breaks the sod, furrows the field cares for the stock and so on. We cannot understand divine Inspiration coming into the railroad shops, the flour mill or any of the common habitat of the poor. This discrimination which we bring to bear on society Is unjust. God Is not limited to the scientist, the philoso pher, the artist, to the laboratory, the library and the museum. The Word dis tinctly assures us that God Is present with the peasant, who often displays marvelous genius by reason of Inspiration that comes from the very throne of God. We cannot for one moment think that God is partial In the distribution of His gifts. The whole world Is the thought of God and every man In It Is an Instrument of divine appointment." FIGHT ON BREEN PROPOSAL Consolidation of Tax Collection De partment Opposed by Corpora tions to Save fffOOQ. "It Is not strange that a savage fight Is being made In the legislature on the Breen amendment to provide for the con solidation of tax payments for city, state, county and school district Into one pay ment to be made to the county treasurer," said a man familiar with local taxation matters. "An approximate analysis of the personal taxes to be paid the city In 1906 by the public utility corporations, the rail roads and the banks shows why they should contend most strenuously against a double payment of taxes in 1906. even though the advancing of one year's per sonal city taxes Is nearly regained In 1907. The three business classes mentioned are scheduled to pay about 1200,000 of the $350, 000 personal taxes that will be due the city In 1906, and, of course, the ratio will not change much In the two following years. The publto utility corporations will pay about $130,000 this year, the railroads about $25,000 and the banks about $40,000. If they pay those taxes for 1906 on May 1 of that year and the same taxes for 1907 on De cember 1 of the same year, naturally they would not like the doubling up, but would prefer to pay In on July 1 for the year the taxes are due, as at present. "Therefore It Is easy to see from what quarters the big objection to the Breen amendment Is being made. Nothing Is lost to the corporations except the Interest on the money, but this Is a small amount, bel.ig but $6,000 on a six months' 6 per cent basis. It has been pointed out that from six to fight times this sum will be saved by .the consolidation of the city and county taxing and treasury departments, but ap parently this Is overlooked by the corpora tions in the desire to keep an aggregate of $6,000 in their pockets, when they actu ally might be saving a great deal more than this In taxes." PROTECTION OF OPPORTUNITY Frank Rosewater Furnishes Food for Discussion at Philosophical . Society.

TREASURER FINK IS QUITE OPTIMISTIC rment of Tnxes a Barometer of Civic Life, and In Other Ways There Are Indications that Mean a Better City. County Treasurer Fink, one of the closest observers In Omaha of current progress, is most optimistic In his views ns to the outlook for the city during the Immediate future. "We find In any city," said Mr. Fink, "a pretty reliable barometer of the people's condition In the matter 'of paying taxes. Right here at this time there are unmistakable Indications of an Increasing financial easiness among all classes of cltisens. In the personal prop erty taxes there Is always more or less laxness, which has seemingly been a characteristic of all communities for years back. But this office notices a very sub stantial increase In the payment of that kind of taxes. I attribute It largely to the fact that Omaha Is becoming a home city. "As men become fixtures here and fami lies grow up, there is a desire to keep square in every way. And as homes are paid for there Is more readiness to meet obligations. This city Is fast getting onto solid ground In the matter of being a good place In which to establish homes. Every year there is an Increase of most desirable population, the staying kind. Therefore to my mind we nre not only coming to but are in the midst of a quiet, substantial Increase in home builders as well as home holders who can afford to occupy a fine class of homes. Our rising generation, too, especially our newer voters, is of a most excellent class. We need have no fear but that Omaha is going to keep right in the front rank of cities whose reputation will attract the best class of people who are seeking new locations for business and residence." Home Bnllders Busy. "Both the mercantile and real estate outlook for Omaha during the present year is Indeed bright," said George M. Nattlnger, secretary of the Omaha Loan & Building association, when asked what he could see on the city's business hori zon. ' "From a loan and building association standpoint I would say the prespects for home building on the part of Individuals are better today than they have ever been during the twenty-two years of our business here. The class of Improvements being projected are along comfortable home Ideas; that 1b, homes are being built and planned along more practical lines, such as large rooms, plenty of light and air and such features. The year bids fair to be a great home-building one along practical and substantial lines." Strong; on School End. . Superintendent of Public Instruction Davidson I have been seeing Omaha nearly every year for nine years as an outsider and for the last year as a citi zen. It seems to me that everything indi cates that we are not only In the midst of great growth and Improvement, but that there is even more promise In the future than we Imagine. I have noted that a great many families are moving to Omaha from various other parts of the United States and sending their children to the public schools. The breadwinners of these families mostly are skilled workmen and men of professions. That means much for the best kind of growth homes and hl;h, citizenship.' Death and Funeral Notice. Mrs. Lydla M.
