THURSDAY MAY 18,1911 VOLUME XXX NO 41 cube 1 II MM AI USI CHIMES The Pastors of Both Churches Delivers Very Appropriate Sermons in Commeration of the Dearest Friend That Daughters and Sons Ever Possessed. From Monday's Daily. The services at the Presby terian church yesterday were of much more than ordinary in terest. The pastor was greeted with the largest congregation which has assembled at the church for some time. A number of strangers were present and a large number of young men came out to do honor and reverence to mother. Rev. I,. W. Cade preached on "Mother ami Her Influence." Among other things, he said: "In after years we never regret that we were kind ami considerate of our precious mothers. As we look back and remember the generous, gentle mother, we often wish that we had been more appreciative and loving. We may go far from home, but we can never get be- yond a mother's love. In the stress and strain of life's busy activities, and especially when we have been a long time absent from the old home, there is danger of being a little neglectful of mother. . Butno man or woman should be so engaged with this busy life as to be forgetful in the least of his) old mother. The world's greatest and best men have been sincerely devoted to their mothers. It vas the custom of President - Harrison to be at home on the Sabbath day that he might accom pany his mother to church. James A. Garfield, who made his way from the log cabin to the White house, assisted and encouraged by his dear old mother, just be fore he look the oath of office as president of "the United Slates, stooped and embraced his mother and imprinted a kiss upon her wrinkled face." At the close of the service one young man came forward and was received into thee hurch. The Knedavor meeting in the evening was well attended, A. L. Tidil delivering an address on "Agnosticism," which was listen ed to with deepest interest. Mr. Tidd quoted from Herbert Spen cer, from Heckel, Volfair and other renowned "Agnostics," and paid Meckel, the fierman philoso pher, a high tribute for the valu able compilation of species of animal life. The speaker went back to the time when the only organic life on earth was the "Moneron," a sort of jelly fish formation, which had the power or faculty of sensation, nutrition and reproduction, the philosopher estimating that, the time since this, the lowest form of organic life appeared on the earth, was flfty-lhren hundredths of all the time which had elapsed since. Then he came down the vista of lime to the next period of organic life, which was the age of tlsbes and the first period in which creatures had a skull, and this period of time was thirty-three: per cent of all of the time elapsed since organic life appeared on the earth, anil so, with the succeed ing age of Mammals, which has covered most of the lime since leaving for the age since man ap peared on earth to be less than five-tenths of one per cent of all of. the time which has elapsed since tho appearance of organic life upon earth. The speaker noted the fact that the German philosopher got away from the first great cause, the Creator of life, by saying that the source of the first appearance of life on Ihe earth was spontaneous combustion. Mr. Tidd quoted various texts of old and new testament scripture lo back up statements made by ' him that there is a God and that man was not evolved from the lower species. Miss Florence Dye ren dered a solo at I his service.- At the Methodist Church. Rev. Austin delivered a sermon full of strength beauty ami Clothier C. C. Wescott was called to Omaha on the afternoon train today on business for a few ours. " SBHBES H PRES- pathos, upon the subject of the duties and responsibilities of motherhood. Rizpah, the mother of two of the sons of King Saul, was taken as an illustration of the sublime fortitude, fidelity and undying love of a true mother tor her children. By the decree of a neighboring king who had con quered the Hebrews and the forced consent of King David, these two sons, with others, were hanged with chains at harvest time, and were to remain hanging until the coining of rains many days after, without permission of honorable burial. Hipah, tin: faithful mother,' refusing to de sert, her sons, even In disgrace and death, spread sack cloth upon the rocks near her dead sons and sat there as their guardian by day and night, lighting away (lie vultures by day and the wild beasts at night, hoping to pre serve their bodies for burial when the king might at last permit. In the history of the race no sublimer illustration of a mother's devotion for her children has been recorded than that of Rizpah for her sons. The speaker, with deep feeling and earnestness urged upon the mothers or our day equal devotion for their living children; pleaded for earnestness, solicitude, courage and ever watchful care in guarding child hood, young manhood and young womanhood, from the vultures of temptation and sin that almost constantly hang over them; an from the wild beasts of vice ant crime that lay' in .wait, for their destruction. Mothers and fathers do not fulfill their duty toward their children by turning them over to the Sunday school for half an hour each week for moral in struct ion, and then give, them to the streets six evenings of the week. They cannot shift their re sponsibility for the moral train ing of their children by leading them to the school house door and there allow their solicitude for the immortal welfare of the child to cease. The, home is the place, and the father and mother Ihe ones, who by precept, and ex ample, hold the salvation of the child and Ihe welfare of our coun try in their hands and conscience The sermon was full of splendid impressive thoughts which will not soon be forgotten by the mothers and fathers who heard it The Epworlh league had charge of the evening service and gave an anniversary day program to a full church. The church was beau tifully decorated with the society colors of red and while, and the emblem was suspended from the arch. The members assemble in Ihe lecture room and proceed ed in a body to the auditorium o the church, where the society oc cupied seals reserved for it. A they marched in as a procession al the leaguers sang "Onward, Christian Soldiers." The service consisted in the. re lation of what the league is doing in foreign lands and was told, by seven . members of the league, each dressed in the costume of the land represented. The music, was in charge of Mr. D. C. York, who sang a solo at the close of the service. An ottering was taken which will be forwarded to Ihe headquarters of the league to be placed with a like offering from other branches and will constitute anniversary missionary oner- HI III im unt-ii mi unit in. iii-ci. ii On countries.

Quite a large congregation as sembled at the Christian church isl evening to listen to James Slander of Louisville deliver a cclure on his trip to Jerusalem as a delegate to I lie International Sunday School convention a few years ago.

He arrived in Jerusalem in June, having traveled from Joppa, which is thirty-four miles from tho Holy City, in a circuitous route on ac count of the roughness of the intervening country. lie found Jerusalem a city of 8,000 people. The tent in which the convention met was erected on Calvary moun tain, where the Saviour was crucified twenty centuries ago.

From Tut'Hdny'H luilly. A case has arisen in this end of the county which emphasizes Ihe need for a new jail. The cir cumstances are Ihese: Saturday last a boy and girl of about 12, resitting in the southern part of the city, were selling fish in Hie northern part of town and called on Mrs. George Mcpherson to make a sale, of the balance of their catch. Shortly after the de parture of Ihe youngsters Mrs. Mcpherson missed her gold watch and gold locket from her room. The chief of police was informed of the loss and the circumstances, and he went to Ihe home of Ihe children yesterday ami succeeded in locating the missing jewelry. He did not make an arrest of the boy, who admitted taking Ihe properly, for Ihe reason that Ihe law, he says, does not permit, de rilicl. children being placed in jail wilh adult criminals, and as the jail is occupied with persons charged with heinous crimes, Ihere is no place lo detain chil dren such ns those admitting hav ing stolen Ihe watch and locket of Mrs. Mcpherson. It is high time (his county had a place of confinement required in civilized countries, where wom en and childreiraccused of viola lion of law can' be detained until their offenses are passed upon by the court. No complaint has been filed in Ihe case against Ihe boy, as Mrs. McPherson was inclined to drop Ihe matter if she could recover her properly, but the officers of the law have no discretion but to proceed against the youths and have them placed where they may be reformed while yet young.
