MISSING
Albert Thomna Disappears with Urge
hum In Pocket.
The police department was notiflced yes
terday to assist In the aearch by friends
for Albert Thomas of McClelland. Thomas,
who wus a young man 24 years old and re
cently married, purchased a few days ago
a slock of general store goods located at
this village. Ileald only $25 down and
was to make a future payment and take
possession of the store today.
On Thursday he left the town to go to
Omaha to buy Roods to replenish the stock,
taking with him a little more than 11,060 In
rash. Since then no tidings have been re
ceived from Mm and his friends are greatly
worried. Investigations made by the po
lhe here yesterday led to the statement
made by the conductor of the Great West
ern passenger train on which be rode that
lie left the train after its arrival In Coun
cil Bluffs, and a statement by H. J.
Chambers, a local man who resides In the
eastern part of the city and who u his
seatmate during the ride from McClelland,
that Thomas remained In the coach and
went to Omaha.
Thomas Is a man of small stature, about
five feet one or two Inches tall, weight
about 140 pounds, smooth face, dark brown
hair, blue eyes and wore a light gray ault
with dark stiff hat and black shoes.
Inquiries at the wholesale houses In
Omaha show that he did visit them. Tha
fact that he had such a large amount of
money with him, which might have be
come known, leads to .the fear that he
might have been a victim of thugs.

CARNEGIE PEACE FUND WASTE
Money Never' to End War, Says
Bishop Scannell.
"
"WAR, NOT ALWAYS IMMORAL"
Prrlat Dclars Only When Perfection-
of Mankind Is Heacned
Will Strlfo Be Over
FnrrTrr.
"Andrew Carnegie's 10,000,000 will never
create international peace. He Is virtually
throwing that money away."
in a sermon In which was compared the
progress of morality and peace and ot
material things, the lit. Kev. liishop Rich
ard Scunnell made this emphatic declara
tion at St. Cectl.a'8 pro-cathedral yester
day morning.
"How the great statesmen of Europe,''
he said, "who are busy building oattle
ships and drilling soldiers must smile at
our American efforts to prevent war by
the uue of money! That Is, by spreading
anti-war llterature-for I cannot Imagine
the progress In the moral order. And the
question we ought to ask ourselves today
is whether we have made progress In that
order whether we are today more Just,
more temperate, more prudent and more
courageous In the dlscharg. of our duties
than we were a year ago or ten years ago.
"For these are the virtues which make a
nation great and good because they and
they alone make Individual men and women
great and good. There can be no equality
In a nation, good or bad, that does not
exist In the Individuals of that nation.
Even a lawless mob Is lawless because
there are In It persons who are lawless
and are ready to commit crimes when they
have the co-operation of others and can
do so with little risk to themselves.
"Have we then made progress In the
virtue of Justice? Are we strictly honest
In our relations with society and our fel
low men. officially, politically and commer
cially? Po w. always do with others as
we would have others do with us? Or, Is
not our honesty too often merely legal
honesty that Is, honesty within .the law
of the lnd and not according to tbe dic
tates oi conscience?
"Aim. have we made progress In the vir
tue of temperance. In the moderate and
reasonable use of things rood, dress,
how the money can otherwise be applied. ( 4mUgements and the like?"

CHICAGO, Jan. I. A move to extend the

with an offer by Julius-Rosen wald, head
of a big commercial house, to give $25,000
to every city In the United States which

offer is good for five years and the only
stipulation Is that the entire sum must be

of awards and Is empowered to deliver

also contributed 125,000 for a negro asso

In which both Individually and collectively
he will conform to the laws of the re

KINDNESS
Rev, R. H. Ilonseman Offers Advice
for 1011.
An appeal for co-operation between
Christians and obedience to the laws of
Christianity was sounded by Rev. Ralph
H. Houfeman. paator of Castellar Street
Presbyterian churth. in a sermon delivered
Sunday morning. He offered In this ad
dress suggesticn for religious devotion for
the year.
"As we enter with reverence the portals
of another year a desire In the mind of
the pastor crowds to the fore for expres
sion," said the minister. "He woud not
speak merely conventional New Year's
greeting. Rather, he ventures to pro
nounce what he trusts will be a suggestive
and timely key thought for 1911.
"We want 1911 to be signalized by fruit
age, fruitage to the glory of Hod. The
price exacted for this fruitage will be co
operative devotion, a union with Christ
and a unity for Christ. I.t the thought
be Illuminated. The farmer clears his land,
plows, sows, cultivates and reaps. This
all represents a devotion to his prescribed
duties. But this devotion to duty Is not
enough. The principle of co-operation Is
an Indispensable factor. Co-operation with
soil, and season, and seed and moisture;
obedience to the laws of the ground and
the nature of the grain and vegetable. Take
an Illustration from city life; a great busi
ness Institution for Instance. Here, too,
we see devotion to duty. Managers dili
gently planning and working for their de
partments. Clerks and helpers working on
time and all the time prescribed.' But such
Institutions enforce yet another requisite
co-operation. Heads of departments and
managers consulting that they may at
tract the largest possible volume of busi
ness, clerks and helpers adjusting them
selves with respect to the time, method
and labor required, ever keeping In tha
foreground the co-operative principle.
"Even so In tha church life we recognise
the companion principles of devotion and
co-operation. Only by a conformity to
these principles, basic to the success ot
the kingdom, can we hope for a large fruit
age. Ths church gathers new strength
Rev. J. A. Jenkln Declares Mrs.
Eddy's Death Means Decline.
Death of Mary Baker Eddy spells the
ultimate end of the Christian Science
church, in the opinion of Rev. J. A. Jen
kins, pastor of St. Mary's Avenuue Con
gregational church, expressed In an ad
dress delivered last night. The minister
declared that the cult existed only in Mrs.
Eddy. Tha new psychology, he said,
stands as tha persistent enemy of the
Christian Science creed.
"Christian Science comes to the beRlnnlng
of Its end aa a religion with the death of
its founder," said Dr. Jenkins. "The fate
of this peculiarly American movement was
predetermined in the temperamental and
commercial popularities and abilities of Its
originator. No person can plausibly or
logically take the place of Mrs. Eddy, for
she really . was the Chuistlan Science
church. She incarnated the ideas of her
own fertile, but undisciplined mind, and
there can be no reincarnation.
"The modern Inductive method of Bible
study is fatal to the visionary system
building from which protestantism has suf
fered so sorely in the past. Denomina
tions will be born less frequently as the
Bible Is approached more sanely and scien
tifically, Christian Science Is a stranger
to the fundamental Ideas which govern the
present-day masters of Blblcal Interpreta
tion. Inductive Bible study sounds the
death knell of the exegetlcal vagaries ot
grotesquely conceived cults. Allegorical,
proof-text schemes of religion stand dis
credited at the bar of authoritative intel
lectual processes.
The new psychology Is also a relent
less foe to Christian Science. Not that
psychology stops to argue with the de
votee of the cult, but that It calmly sweeps
on Its way, establishing conclunlon after
conclusion, and accounting In rational
fashion for the facts which constitute the
Christian Science stock in trade. It Is safe
to predict that as our American people
become more familiar with the Ideas of
consciousness and subconsciousness, hypno
tism and suggestion, the relation of mind
to body In functional and organic disor
ders, the mysterious fascination ot cults
will pass, and phenomena will quietly fall
Into place in the natural order.
"A survey of history and a knowledge
of the established trend In scientific re
search would seem to Justify the follow
ing conclusion: 'With the death of Mrs.
Eddy, the Christian Science movement will
lose Its momentum and Its troubles will
perhaps be aggravated bv attempts to
usurp the place of the dead genius of the
organisation.'
"Inductive Bible study will reveal the
puerility of the 'Science' approach to the
p.lhle, while psychology will explain the
suggestive basis of the cult's success. His
torical Investigation will make plain the
fact that Mrs. Eddy's metaphysical, theo
logical and therapeutic composite Is only
one of the great number of American In
ventions in the religious field, and this
knowledge will show the probable lines of
growth, popularity and decay. Growing at

Blshop Beecher Tells Tale with n
Moral. '
After relating the story of a Japa
nese boy In New York City, as told
him by Dr. J. S. Motoda, the Japanese
minister, man of letters, and educator, who
is visiting him, Bishop George A. Beecher
drew from it a lesson for young men In
an address at the Sunday afternoon men's
meeting at the Young Men's Christian as
sociation. Bishop Beecher, who had promised to ad
dress the meeting, brought with him and
Introduced Dr. Motoda, w'ho holds, among
other positions, that of head of St. Paul's
college, Toklo, Japan. Mr. Motoda told of
the work being done In Japan by Christian
missionaries and by the Young Men's Chris
tian association. He said that In time Japan
will become a Christian nation and pre
dicted that before many years the Young
Men's Christian association work In Japan
would be maintained by Japanese Chris
tians Instead of by Americans, as now.
Bishop Beecher said that a Japanese boy

who observed that the young man was
provided with a liberal allowance from his
father each month. In order to benefit by
his money they led him astray. Friends of
the father reported the matter to him, but
all efforts to reform the lad failed and
the father and his friends lost track of him.
When Dr. Modota came to New York he

In a low dive In so much trouble that he
could not extricate himself. He was saved

"With our boasted civilization and Chris

bishop urged the practice of true Christian
