"Take Your Bearings" Is the
Advice Sunday Gives Audience
The sermon of ' Hilly" Sunday t the
tabernacle yesterday afternoon was on
the subject:
"Taking Our Bearings." Ill" text was:
"Ye have not passed this way hereto
fore," Joshua, ill:.
The (treat army ot Israel, under
Joshua, vii encamped on the liUIMcs
above the Jordan, where they had been
brought to a standstill by the raving
river, which was tloodtido and out o: It
banks.
At last the forty years oC wandering
'.n the wilderness hail come to an enu.
The time had arrived for the tribe to
take possession of their Inheritance In the
I romlsed land.
Three days were'to bo devoted to rest
and preparation for the greatest achlfive
n.ent ever undertaken by the Jewish na
tion. From headquartcra of.'lcers were
sent throughout the on nip to Inform, in
struct and prepare the people, l'erhaps a
trumpeter went with the herald to sound
the bu;le to call the people together.
St;teches were made giving full in
'orniatlon concerning the movement of
the army. Euch officer would explain
what waa expected of every an and
full information given aa to the manner
and time when certain thin happened
that were the signal for something else
to happen.
As a commander Josh lft was Row and
untried. Nobody knew anything about
his ability. He had never operated an
Independent command JP until thla time.
He had no past succeajes as a piestlge
to trive the people coniiltnee-
The people had known nj rcat com

waa natural that Joshua would suuer
from comparison-his appearance-language
ordera new way of dolug things.
When a new preacher assumes chargo of
a church he Is up against the same dif
ficulty. He is contrastod with his prede
cessor. And that's the trouble. I guess, when
ever a wife married a second time; she's
up against the same sort of a proposition.

finding fault with Joshua.
"What In the world Is Joshua trying to
do now? Uoing out against a walled city!
Who .ever heard of such a thing! Moses
would never have taken us on such a
wild-goose chase! I don't believe In going

;ot and Kaltk.
At the time of an earthquake, when the
trees were being uprooted and the hills
melting away and houses falling, an old
woman Jumped up and down, clapped her
hands and cried, "That's the kti.1 of a
God I believe In shakes things. It He
wants to."
That was the kind of a Ood Joshua
proclaimed a God who would overwhelm
them with astonishment as to the mighty
display of Hl power. Ro the people be
gan to stiffen up their spines and throw
back their shoulders and expect some
thing. "Faith" ts the biggest word In the lexi
con of a Christian. It Is the countersign
that admits you to the Inner circle of
power. Doubt and timidity are strangers
to a man of faith.
The man of faith is magnetics galvanic
energetic. The man of faith does not
droop nor sang In the middle. His enlhus
stasm Is as Infectious as the smallpox
or the laughter of little children. Faith
puts a song on his lips fire In his blood
cement in his backbone. He puts the
ball over the fence when there are three
men on bases the last half of the ninth
inning, two out and you need four runs,
and you are upl
Don't think that Ood has ever been all
in. He never has been and never will.
He Is not like a lot of people who can
spar well, but who haven't the punch.
He Is not like the people who cannot
produce the "sleeper." Ood never has to
go Into repairs,
"Ye have not passed this way hereto
fore" meaning, I take it, that everything
is now to be new different from any
thing they had previously known.
The people believed it, and soon there
was great commotion In the camp. There
was the busy hum of preparation. People
worked with a will. They talked with
glowing faces of the mighty Ood of
Jacob and what He was going to do.
They were looking for great things
far greater than ever. Yet they had seen
great things.
Most of them were children when they
came out of Egypt. They had seen the
destroying angel come through the land
and slay the first-born in every home
where the blood was not on the doorpost.
They had seen manna rained from
heaven every morning for forty years.
Man with Little Faith Deserves
Little Ood.
They had seen the mighty hand of Ood
roll back the waters of the Red Bea.

prayer and Its nonsense In our church
choirs more praise and lean backbiting
more love, and less faultfinding more
reverence and less frivolity more of a
desire to honor Ood than to give a concert!
"Ye have not passed this way hereto
fore." This proclamation was made that tho
weary sons of Jacob might take a long
look back and a long step forward. To
stsnd on new ground, he makes ail con-uliler.

ever knew, whose rams' horns he lacked.'
I surpose nobody ought to be guilty of
originality even when it comes to knock
ing down the police and pushing over
tushers and breaking windows.
All have witnessed Just such scenes
when an effort la made toward a revival
of religion.
Some say, "Oh, he preaches too much
helU"
Some may say he doesn't preach enough
hell. Well, believe me, I'll give you
enough hell before I'm through., . All pie
hell's in tlie Bible.
Others say, "He doesn't preach
Miouxh."
Home say, "He U sensational."
Others say, "O, he is vulgar!"
Some say, "I don't like the music!'
. Others say, "We have too much mulo!
But the man that Ood sends never tails.
Had the walls of Jericho been a mile
thick and ten miles high Joshua would
have gone against them with the same
boldness. He was not depending on his
soldiers, nor the priests, nor the weather,
nor the ranis' horns, nor himself, nor his
feeling, but the word of the living Ood.
The wUdemess-worn veterans are now
about to take the step that would make
them a great nation a people with a
God-chosen destiny a people under the
Almighty's especial care.
Before they set foot In that raging
river they had to do more hard thinking
than they had ever done. In years agon
they had done lots of foolish things Im
pulsively. That is why they had been
tramping forty years and nover reaching
the promised land!
If they had all been as level-headed as
Moses, Caleb and Joshua their Journey
would have ended In thirtr days, and
here they had been a generation In reach
'ng the place where they now stood!
And it waa all because thoy had not
tried to get anywhere!
The man Ood sent never fails.
Tne man who has no purpose In life
goes about tired because he does hts
climbing In a treadmill. He Is always a
zigzagger. And for every Inch of head
way, he goes a mile!
Without a definite aim, he will never
travel In an airline. The Lee goes
stwilght only when flying to Its hive. The
man who turns the world upside down
does It because that is his sole business
in life.
Man with One Idea gaeceda.
The man who undertakes to do a thou
sand things will never amount to a hill
of leans. The man who devetes his time
and skill and energy to doing one thing
wilt "stsnd before kings."
Ood waa hot to blame then for man's
faults any mors than- he Is now, any more
than Ood Is to blame for the condition of
the church today.
Paul said. "This one thing I do." Keep
your eye on that mam He will move
every mountain and pull up every tree
that is In his pathway. Nothing csn
chill his ardor nor cool his courage. He
keeps on going and growing, no matter
what interferes.
The Christian life needs to.be entered
uon as thoroughly and definitely as the
sun-browned pilgrims went Into Cants a.
Ixl a man get his start In that way and
he will not throw away bis Bible when
be strikes a hard place,
The men who had wandered aimlessly
are at last brourht to the dace where
tusy expected great things from the Ood
who had brought them out ot Egypt.
The officers who had gone throughoJt
the camp plain-spoken and direct In
what they said were made to understand
that the Ood who had spoken amidst the
thunders of Blnal had not exhausted Him
self, and that He would astonish them
. with a great display of His wonderful
power.
It was a great thing to discover that
Ood never wears out that 11 never
comes to a place where Us cannot
transact all the business that la required
of Him!
The man who needs a great salvation
must be convinced that there Is a Ood
mighty to save! A helpless man must
hsvs a mighty Saviour or none!
One reason why some preachers are not
able to bring many sinners to repentance
Is becaus they preach ot a Ood so tin-
bear almonds In a night.
They had seen the cloud of quails come
up and feed them until they loathed the
meat. They had seen the dying spring
Into life with one look at the brazen ser
pent. They had seen the ground open
and swallow up the stiff-necked rebel
lious. They had seen the pillar of fire
lead them by night and the cloud by
day. But now there were greater things!
There would be more and greater re
vivals It the people and this preacher
expected something! The man with a
little faith deserves a little Ood. The
man with mountain-moving: faith gets
earthquake results! ,
If our faith Is puny, so we are never
able to make more than a gimlet hole
FAMOUS MEDICINE

ning Saturday.
Tanlao, the new medicine that Is ac
complishing such remarkable results In
such Instances as stomach, llvsr, kld
nevs and catarrhal affections In the
larger cities will be distributed In Omaha
exclusively by the Sherman ac McConnell
Drug Cbmpany.
This Important announcement waa
made Wednesday by John A. Bornhau
ser, the business associate and co-worker
with L. T. Cooper, the "Tanlac . Man,"
who comes to Omaha expressly for the
purpose of Investigating local conditions
with the view of Introducing the premier
preparation here and thereby proving
Mr. Cooper's advanced thoughts.
Mr. Bornhauser was seen to very ex
cellent advantage last evening In the
foyer of the loyal Hotel, where he Is
stopping. After speaking of the wonder
ful suocess they have had with Tanlac
In many sections of the country, and of
the results obtained through Its Use In
thousands of cases, he talked freely and
frankly of the results of the two's ex
tensive studies. Among other things ha
said:
"Probably the most prevalent and dis
tressing condition Is chronlo catarrh of
the mucous membranes. Catarrh of the
stomach and kidneys Is the most fre
quent cause of ' dyspepsia and Blight's
disease and catarrhal conditions In the
nose and throat lead to Inevitable deaf
ness. Many people whose hearing is at
feet ad are suffering from catarrh.
"Frequently the lungs become diseased
by the extension of a catarrhal Inflamma
tion by way of the bronchial tubes to the
lung, substance. Consumption, or tuber
culosis, may then not be far off. and the
mental and physical stats of chronlo ca
tarrh sufferers Is, Indeed, very unfortu
nate. In fact. It Is really surprising to !
know what an Immense number of peo-
pie, among those who reside In cities
like Omaha, are suffering from this al- !
moat universal malady when they think
something else Is wrong with them."
Mr. Bornhauser, continuing, enumer
ated the symptoms of catarrh such as an
offensive, breath, constant sniffling, dls- j
charges from the nose, dropping In the I
throat, frequent sneeslng, watery eyes,
headaches, hawking, spitting, full bead.
pains In the pit of stomach, side and kid- i
ney region, depression of spirits, ner- 1
Touaness, sleeplessness and susceptibility
to coughs and colds.
He said that, beginning Saturday, he
or his assistant would be at the Sher

would endessor to prove to the local
