TELLS OF METHODS
IN SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Specialist in Teaching of Children
Telli Teacher to Lead Way
to Chriit
MANY YOUTHS NOT IN CHURCH
Before an audience made up almost
entirely of mm and women who arc
teaohtra in the Sundar schools of the ciljr
and on that completely filled the au
ditorium of the Tounir Women's Chrla
tlan association building yesterday after
noon, Mis Alice Oamlln, Sunday school
specialist of the Sunday party, spoks on
Sunday school work.
Mint Oamlln told of the Sunday school
work done last week by her and the
members of the party In a number of
the local churches, announcing; that It Is
to be continued during; the remainder of
the campaign and that this week It will
be conducted In the Central Park, Wal
nut Hill, Pearl and Grove Evangelical
churches. She announced that the Sun
day school rally for today will be held
In the First Congregational, twelvs of
the churches participating.
The address of Miss Oamlln was a
plain talk to the Sunday school teachers,
she asserting that their aim should be to
lead boys and girls to Christ. She csu
tloned the teachers not to refer to the
members of their classes as children, as
the young folks resent this appelation,
much preferring to be called boys and
girls, regardless of their size and ages.
The speaker contended that men or
women should not be teachers, especially
teachers In Sunday schools, unless they
love boys and girls, "for," she added, "If
you do not love them, there Is something
wrong with you. "The best thing about
milk Is the cream," asserted Miss Uam
lin, "and this should apply in the Sunduy
school, for there you find the cream, and
It rests with you to mould the character
of the future men and women." She
serted that she has no use for a Sunday
school teacher who conducts a class for
a long period of time and does not lead
the members to Christ and cause, them
to unite with the church which they at
tend. She. cited an Instance of one
teacher whom she knew who taught a
class for years and never even asked
the boys and girls If they were Chris
tians. "Ask the boys and girls of your
classes If they do not desire to lead
Christian lives; pray with them and ex
tend to them the invitation to become
members of the church."
Should Join harrh While Yoona"
In referring to the age at which chil
dren should become members of a church.
Miss Gamlin took the position that at 8,
10 or 12 they are perfectly competent to
decide for themselves and that at these
ages it Is much easier to lead them to
Christ than after they are 16, 18 or older.
Referring to Omaha statistics with
reference to attendance. Miss Gamlin as
serted that In the schools of the city the
enrollment is around 33,000. About half
this number attend Sunday schools, while
the others remain away. She contended
that this presents one of the greatest
opportunities that Christian workers
could conceive In the matter' of winning
souls to Christ.
Upon the Sunday school teachers, con
tended Miss Gamlin, rests almost entirely
.the responsibility of bringing young per
, sons Into th church and helping young
lives to grow and develop In Christianity.
H is the teachers who can turn them from
satan to God and make them Christian
men and women. She urged upon the
teachers the necessity, of doing some
work outside the class rooms in the mat
ter of getting boys and girls Into the
Sunday schools, adding, "It is not your
responsibility to compel, but to help the
young lives to grow In Christ."
Swiss Makers of
Watches Keep Busy
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Zl'HICH, Switzerland. Sept. . The
exports of Swiss watches In 1914 show a
decrease in value of more than $12,000,000,
as compared with the previous year. But
for the readiness with which Swiss man
ufacturers adapted themselves to the
changed conditions their losses would
have been still greater.
Switzerland's watch export Industry Is
the greatest In the world. Eighty-seven
per cent of all the foreign watches sold
in the various countries of the world
are made In Switzerland. In 1913 there
were exported more than 15.000,000
watches of a total value of some $37,000,
000, while less than 300,000 watches were
sold In the home market that year, not
2 per cent of the total production.
When the war broke out the Swiss
watch Industry was brought to a sudden
standstill. The manufacturers were most
pessimistic. There were no orders, there
was no money and credit was difficult
to obtain. But changes In fashion soon
helped them to circumvent the hardships.
Obviously there was no longer any mar
, ket for the more expensive watches, so
the, makers turned to producing cheaper
articles especially adapted for the mili
tary. A great trade was done in sliver,
nickel and gunmetal cased watches, with
luminous dials which found a ready sale(
among army men. excepting certain
towns and districts where only expensive
watches had been made, the industry
gradually recovered from the first de
pression and there are now fewer unem
ployed workmen than any time since the
'war began.

TEUTONS FEAR ENGLAND
IS BUYING GERMAN FRUIT
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
KSSE.V, Germany, Aug. 17. Diligent
effort, are being made to restrict the
export, via the Rhine Into Holland, of
fruits that grow so plentifully along the
great river. Dutch merchants. It has
been established, have been taking out of
Germany great quantities of cherries
and berries which. It Is suspected, are
shipped on farrther to England.
Local fruit merchants have Just stum
bled upon the fact that contracts al
ready exist under which the best of the
late fruit has been sold to Dutchmen. The
quantity 1. greater than all Holland
would need or use. This fact,, along with
the fact that England always ha Im
ported German fruit, leads to the con
viction that Germany's enemy la still be
ing fed by German fruit.

Chickens Come Home to Roost,"
Topic of Sermon Preached to Men
Hilly" Sunday preached yesterday
afternoon to the men only at the Tab
ernacle, his subject belli. "Chickens
Come Home to Kooet." He said:
The luh Psalm, the S.MH verso: "lt
the sinner be consumed out of the earth
and lnt the wicked be no more."
This always scorned to me to be a queer
verse of scripture. It Is a verse more
often misunderstood than any other and
road by ninny t Justify their living In
sin. It contains a thought which I don't
find so well exprested In any other verso,
not on account of its peculiarity, but
because It Is used by men to Justify their
living in sin.
There is- much unjust criticism of
David, who lived a virtuous and upright
life. He said. ' Ia.1 wickedness of the
wicked come to an end." It showed
lavld's sympathy toward his follow mon
when he wept when he heard of others
sinning- Hut they would not le saved.
Smtie kept on sinning and llvlnn In sin.
He saw what was the need of the com
munity and tho nation, and said: "O,
God, if men won't stop sinning, notwith
standing your commands, then let them lo
consumed out of the earth." When he
said this, ho offered the prayer, a por
tion of which I have chosen for my text.
1 sometimes find peoplo who talk lightly
of sin. I say he has lost all his respect
for right, all of his respect for virtue.
decency, all of his respect for everything I
or he wouldn't say it. If only the men
who say It were affected try their sins,
it would be hard enough. I would work
Just as hard ns I do. But we never live
to ourselves. There are more affected
by your sins than yourself, although I
would work Just as hard if you were tho
only one.
.Makes Others Suffer.
When you come staggering home, cuss- I
Ing right and left and spewing and spit
ting, your wife suffers, your children
suffer. Don't think that you aro the only
one that surfers. A man that goes to the
penitentiary makes his wife and children
suffer just as much as he does. You're
placing a shame on your wife and chil
dren. If you're a dirty, low-down, filthy,
drunken, whisky-soaked bum, you'll af
fect all with whom you como in contact.
If you're a God-fearing man you will
Influence all with whom you come in
contact. You can't live by yourself.
Lyman Beechcr was a godly man, and
he was the father of more brains than
any other man.
I occasionally hear a man tay. "It's
nobody's business how I live." Then I
say he is tho most dirty, low-down,
whisky-soaked, beer-guzzling, bull
necked, foul-mouthed hypocrite that ever
had a brain rotten enough to conceive
such a statement and lips vile enough to
utter it. You say, "If I am satisfied with
my life, why do you want to' interfere 1
with my business?'
If I heard a man beating his wife and
heard her shrieks and the children'
crle and my wife would tell me to go
and see what was the matter, and I went
in and found a great, big, broad-shouldered,
whisky-soaked, hog-Jowled, weasel-
eyed, pug-gut dragging a little woman
round by the hair and two children in
the corner unconscious from Ms kicks
and the others yelling in abject terror,
and he said:
"What are you f ling in to interefere
with my personal liberty for? Isn't this
my wife, didn't I pay for the license to
wed her?" You ought, or you're a
bigamist. "Aren't these my children;
didn't I pay the doctor to bring them
Into the world?" You ought to or you're
a thief. "If I want to beat them, what
Is that your business, aren't they mine?"
Would I apologize? Never! I'd knock
seven kinds of pork out of that old hog.
Liberty Not License. t
Personal liberty Is not Personal license.
I dare not exercise personal liberty, If It
infringes on liberty of others. Our fore
fathers did not fight and die for personal
license, but for personal liberty bounded
by laws. Personal liberty Is the liberty
of a burglar, of a seducer, or a raper, or a
wolf that wants to remain In a sheep
fold, or the weasel in a hen roost. You
have no right to vote for an institution
that is going to drag your sons and
daughters to hell.
If you were the only citizens of Omaha
you would have a perfect right to drive
your horse down the street at break
neck speed; you would have a right to
make a race track out of the streets for
your auto; you could build a slaughter
house In the public square; you could
build a glue factory in the public square.
But when the population Increases you
can't do It. You say: "Why can't I
run my auto? I own It. Why can't
I run my horse? I own It. Why can't
I build the slaughter house? I own
the lot." Yes, but other people have
right.
So law stands between you and per
sonal libesty, you miserable dog. You
can't build a slaughter house In your
front yard, because the law says you
can't. As long a I am standing here on
this platform I have personal liberty. I
can swing my arms at will. But the
minute any one else steps on the plat
form my personal liberty ceases. It stops
Just one Inch from the other fellow's
nose. Right there! (Indicating a point
in the air.)
Fl.htlasr for Slaaere.
When a person' act affect only him
self they can be left to the conscience of
the individual, but whan they affect
others the law steps in. When a child
haa diphtheria, you are not allowed per
sonal liberty; you are quarantined, be
cause your personal liberty would en
danger other If exercised. So you
haven't any right to live In sin. You say
you'll do It anyhow. All right, you'll
go to hell, too. Adam and Eve said they
would eat the apple anyhow, and the
world became a graveyard, and here's
the result today.
I look out into the world and see a
man living in sin. I argue with him. I
plead with him. I cry out warning words.
I brand that man with a black brand,
whose Iniquities are responsible for the
fall of others. '
No man Uvea to himself alone. I hurt
or help other by my life. When you
go to hell you're going to drag some one
else down with you and If you go to
heaven you're going to take some one
else with you. You say you hate sin.
Of course you do if you have respect.
But you never saw any one In this city
who hates sin worse than I do or loves
a sinner more than I.
I'm fighting for the sinners. I'm fight
ing to save your soul, Just as a doc
tor fight to save your life from a dis
ease. I'm your friend, and you'll find
that I'll not compromise one bit with
sin. I'll do anything to help you. No
man will argue that sin 1 a good thing.
Not a one who doe not believe that
the community would be better off If
there was no sin. I preach against vine
to show you that it will make your girl
an outcast and your boy a drunkard.
I'm fighting everything that will lead to
this end and If I have to !e your enemy
to fight It, Uod pity you, tor liu guinj
to flsht. People do not fight sin until It
becomes a vice.
Onaht in Vrmr Sin.
You ssy you're not afraid of sin. You
ought to bo for your children. It doesn't
take boys long to get on the wrong track,
and whlle'you are scratching uravrl to
make one lap. your boy makes ten. We've

did their great grandmothers when they
were 75 years old.
The girl who drinks will abandon her
virtue. What did Methuselah know about
vmoking cigarettes? I know there are
some sissy fellows out there who object
to my talking plain and know you shirk
from talking plain.
If any one ever tells you that you can't
be virtuous and enjoy good health, I
brand him as a low. Infamous, black
heurted liar.
Ask any afficted man you see on the
street. If you could only reveal the heart .
of every one of them! In most you
would find despair and disease.

"lie Men end Talk Sense."
Let's be common folks together today.
Let's be men and talk sense.
As a rule a man wants something bet
ter for his children than he has had for
himself. My father died before I was
born and I lived with my grandfather.
He smoked, but he didn't want me to. He
chewed, but he didn't want me to. He
drank, but he didn't want me to. He m niy toddy at that."

One day a neighbor was In and my

If there is a father that hits the booze,
he doesn't want his son to. If he is keep

his son to. In other words, you would not
want your son to live like you if you are
not living right.
Ah old general was at the bed.ilde of
his dying daughter. He didn't believe In
the Bible, and his duughter said, "What
shall I do? You 'don't believe In the Bible.
'Mamma does. I; I obey one I'm going
tisuinsi me other." The old general put
us arms around his daughter and said:
"Follow your mother's way; it I the
safest." Man wants his children to have
that which is sure.

I have sometimes Imagined that young
fellow In Luke 15. He came to his father
and said, "Dig up. 1m tired of this and
want to see the world." His father didn't
know what he meant. "Come acros.
with, the mamma, come clean, dlvy. I
want the coin, see?" Finally the father
tumbled, and he said: "I got you." and
ho divided up his share and gave it to
the young man. Then ho goes down to
Babylon and starts out on a sporting life.
He meets the young blood and the
gay dame. I can imagine that young
fellow the first time he swore. If his
mother had been near he would have
looked at her and blushed rosy red. But
he thought he had to cuss to be a man.
No man can be a good husband, no man
can be a good fellow, no man can be a
respectable citizen, no man can be a gent
leman, and swear. You can hang out a
sign of entleman, but when you cuss
you might as well tako it In,
There are three things which will ruin
any town and give it a bad name. Open
licensed saloons; a dirty, cussing, .wear
ing gang of blackleg on the streets, and
vile story tellers. Let a town be known
for these three things, and these alone,
and you could never start a boom half
big enough to get one man there.
Old men. young men, boys wear.
What do you cuss for? It doesn't do you
any good, gains you nothing In business,
society; It loses you the esteem of men.
Uod said more about cussing than any
thing. God said, "Thou shalt not kill,
thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear
false witness, but God said more
about cussing than them all and they are
still cueslng. "Thou shalt not take the
name of the Lord thy God in vain, for
the Lord will not hold him guiltless who
taketh His name In vain."
No Ksense for araln;.
I can see how you can get out of any
thing but cussing. I can see how a man
could be placed In such a position that
he would kill and be exonerated by the
law of God and man. If he killed to pro
tect hi life or the life of another.
I can see how a man could be forced
to steal if he stole to keep his wife from
starving.
In Chicago several year ago there
wa a long-continued strike and the last
division of the treasury had given each
man 25 cents. A man went Into the rail
road yards and got a bag of coal from
one of the cars. They pinched him and
he came up before a Judge. He told the
Judge that he had only 25 cents of the
last division and he spent that for food.
His wife and two children were at home
starving and he had no fire. He stole
the coal to cook their food. The Judge
thundered, "Get out of this room and
get home and build that fire as Tiukly
as you can."
Bay, boy. If I waa on a Jury and you
could prove to ma that a father ' had
stolen a loaf of bread to keep hi wife
from starving you could keep me In ttie
room until the ant took me out through
the keyhole before I'd atick him. That
may not be law. I don't know, but you'll
find there 1 a big streak of human nature
In "Bill."
There Isn't a fellow In this crowd but
what would be disgusted if hi wife or
later would cuss and hit the boox like
he doea If she would put fifteen or
twenty beers under her belt, he'd go
whining around a divorce court for a
divorce right away and say he couldn't
live with her. Why, you dirty dog, she

tlmo he tried to say anything she would
bring out a bunch of lurid oaths until
filially he mM: "Wife, If you II cut out

Out In Iowa there were some men

You say. "Hill. I can't quit cussing.'
You lie. If I was mayor of this city and
had authority to put men on the corner
with double-barreled shotguns to shoot
every one who cussed, you'd see how
much cussing there would be. I suppose
if the law against stealing was repealed

would start to steal.

He says, "I don't drink very much. Just
a little, and always put sugar and water
I his whisky gone. The boy denied that.
Then he missed some money, and the boy
denied that. Finally the father sa.d that
his son wa no good, but he would take
him to town and get him a Job. He goes
to a grocery store and tells the owner he
has Just the boy he la looking for.
"Sure, he smokes and chews and stonls
a little," he Bays, but that will help the'
man out, as he Is that kind of a business
man. The grocer throws him out. The
father thinks it is mighty queer that a
fellow like that doesn't want n boy Just
like him, so ho takes him across tho
street to get him started In tho lawyer
business, but he tells tho lawyer the
samo thing and says he has the making
of a mlKhty good lawyer In him.
But the lawyer throws them out of his
office nnd asks him if he doesn't know

f. yes! The boys are going fast these
days. I suspect you can remember when
a stage coach went acros Pennsylvania
at three miles an hour; then they went
In relsys and went four and one-half;
then the first train went fifteen miles
sn hour, and now today look at the
Pennsy. Eighteen hours from Chicago to
New York, and they go eighty miles an
hour. A friend of mine was on a train
not long ago when he noticed It slowing
down. He asked the conductor what waa
tho matter. "Oh, I have order to slow
to seventy-five mile an hour here."
When I was playing ball I got my leg
hurt and I was going home on No. S.
I looked out the window and thought w
were going about fifty miles an hour.
I asked the "con" when, he came through
and he said we were going about fifty
miles an hour then, but we would go
seventy-five as aoon a he rounded the
curve below.
O, we're going fast thee day. Bvery
few year there Is a test made on a
couple of roads out west to see which
hall carry the mall. They make the
test in February when the going I the
hardest.
"Koine; Fast for tied."
A train on the C. B. ft Q. wa forty
minute late and a friend of mine was
asked to take it out. The superintend
ent came out and told the engineer that
he could throw the schedule In the fire
box as he had a clear track. I was on
a train coming east and we were side
tracked for the fast mall. I saw him
coming. I yelled "whopee," and he was
gone.
Down below where we were standing
there ma a double curve and the fire
man aald afterward: "The blankety
blank fool Just pulled her out three more
notches." The fireman began to pray,
although he waa not a praying man. But
It stuck to the track and when he
pulled Into his last stop he was Just two
minutes ahead of time and the C. V. A
Q. is carrying the mall today.
If you're going 10 Omlles and hour for
God some one will follow you, and If
you're going to hell at the rate of eighty
mile per hour, some one will follow you.
There was a wreck up in New Yo(k.
The engineer was pinned down under
neath the wreckage and would soon be
scalded to death, but he yelled: "For
God' sake, boys, flag the second sec
tion!" The flagman ran back, put tor
pedoes on the track. The train hit them
a bang, bang, bang. The engineer set
the brakes
kes. He flattened every wheel on ,
n, but he brought the nose of his,
the tral
pilot to a stop six feet from the rear car
of the wrecked train.
Some of you out there are like the en
gineer, too far gone to do you any good,
but I am pleading fur the second section,

Story of n t.amhler.
When I was In. the Young Men's Chris
tian association work I knew a gambler
who was converted. He was making IT.fdO
a year and he was going up and down the
country showing that you ain't beat a1
aaniuier mi nis own game. He tells a
"tory of a game which was on and one i
mRn WB" accused of ringing In a cold
d,cl- The He was passed and a man shot
another dead.
Ho was sentenced to die and a he was
being prepared on the scaffold, his little
4-year-old son toddled up the steps and
said, "Come home, papa." The sheriff
was a kind man, and he unbuckled his
feet and hands and let him lift the child
up. He told hi son ha couldn't come
homo and for him to go away now and
the sheriff would take care of him. Then
he turned to the crowd and cried: "For
(lod' sake, boya, don't lot my son be
what I have been." The trap fell and he
shot Into eternity.
A collection wa taken for that child
among the crowd and he wa placed In a
Christian home. When he was 21 they
gave him his money with accumulated
Interest. He started out on a career of
crime. He got down so low that they
wouldn't lot him sleep In the police sta
tion. He tried to get enough, and would
clean cuspidor in dirty, filthy saloons to
got enough to live.
Oh, men, blood will tell. I'm pleading
with you that you yield to Christ, so
that your children' live will not be
blighted.
Men, there's three thing yon should
always remember where your wive are
concerned. First, show a deep personal
Interest in her. Plie entitled to It and
she'll love you the better for It. Second,
treat her as a companion. She I your
life comparlon and you should treat her
as mich. Third, show her the affection
every woman heart Is craving for. If
you don't, you shouldn't wonder If some
day another fellow appears on the scene
and gives her all those little attention
she Is craving for and that you have
neglected to give her.
