Makneka I N architectural anomaly, a beautiful builtl ^ ■ ing built from scrap material, is the pro I duct of the genius, energy and inspiration I of an Omaha clergyman. When completed " the First German Presbyterian church will present an edifice of stable • and dignified beauty, yet all the material that goes into its construction is discarded junk gathered from every uvailable source. It represents what can be accomplished by a lew ear nest, hard-working men under the leader ship of a preacher full of enthusiasm and inspiring optimism. When he first went lo Omaha, three years ago, Rev. Julius F. Schwarz s determined that his congregation should have a new church. The fact that the mem bers numbered only GO and the whole' property of the corporation was about $5,000 troubled him not at all, and he began to build with os much faith as if he had the riches of Solomon. His plan was to gather everywhere, whenever he could, all the old _, but strong timbers, all the iron junk available for structural use, all the loose aud Irregular stone and (f all the generally discarded building materials that coulu be found In Omaha and from them to build a church. It was not to he a mean and ugly house of worship, but a well-equipped, well arranged, ample meeting place for his people. He has now extended it to include an ll-room house Cor his own family and the whole property would have cost $30,000 if it had been built by contract. As built by Rev. Mr. Schwarz and his fellow laborers it will cost less than $35,000. The other $15,000 has been saved to bis people by the perseverance, energy and In genuity of the pastor. The first charge tiiat Mr. Schwarz , took when he left the theological semiudry was at Counersville, Ind. For six years he remained there and was called to Omaha three years ago on a recommendation, from one of his instructors In the theological school At that time the First German Presbyterian was a small frame church. As soon as the new pastor came he announced that the church was too small. To build a church with a membership of 60 seemed out of the question to all but the pastor. He thought he knew a way and he set about it with almost no support, at first, from the others. For a year he sought for a suitable location and finally purchased the lot '.he new church is on for $1,800. When he bought this tract the fund which he drew from amounted to $57. His first move was to sell the old church for $1,850. As soon as the lot was paid for he shouldered a spade, and replacing his ministerial dignity with a grim and effective energy he began to dig. . The first thing that a church needed was a foundation. He had no money, but he could make the foundation himself, and that would be one step toward it. He asked for contributions from friends outside of Omaha and waited for his own people to contribute vol untarily. The dollars came slowly, but they came with sufficient stead! ness to assure him that he could make a few purchases for a start. While walking on the street one day he saw that In repairing the street the old curbs were being taken up 'These are good blocks." said the pastor-builder, and he bargained with the contractor to take them oft his hands. That stone went into the foundation. His next lot of material came when the wall that supported the yard of the old Rosewater residence was to be torn down. Men hired by Mr. 8cbwarz did the work and the walls that were gradually rising^n^' '“7 '*7 site. Some of his congregation bega „ to coV tribute two or tnree days’ work wifh teams in gathering material. teams in The south steps from the old hiih school building followed and these made ttfe “water table on both sides of the church port of the building. The parsonage end was bei£; added to from the stone that could be picked up around stone yards for small expense and converted into suitable blocks. An opportunity came to the builders when the driveway was constructetd leading down to the Union station ou the north side. Here was bought 15,000 feet of lumber that had been used in scaffolding ami; a carload of fine red sandstone was purchased for $20. When, a few weeks later, a contractor offered Mr. Schwarz $70 for that same carload of red stoue because he needed it to fill a contract in a hurry, the minister gave up his material and added $50 clear to the fund. This was the oniy enterprise for profit that was entered into for the benefit of the cause, except a little deal in lead pipe which the minister had with a prominent fraternal order. He bought some old lead from the lodge for $1.50 and sold it for $15 to a junk dealer. All winter long he has been haunting the repair gangs about the streets, visiting stone yards and junk heaps and adding to the pile of materials that Is being made Into a building by his men. One of his biggest and most profitable finds was a pair or iron pillars in excellent condition which he bought from the street railway company for their price as old iron. The street railway com pany also furnished him with the most novel use of old material in the whole building, which is the making of rafters out of old steel rails. The rails are more than strong enough and were bought for the price-of junk. The church, which consists of a basement with a beautiful fireplace and an auditorium which will seat 300, measures 44x73 feet. The roof extends back over the parsonage, making it a full three stories high, with one room in the atti<\ The house aart is 24x50 feet in ground beautiful bdifice being erected 6% Rev. Schwarkz v^* Rev. Juliuc F. Schwarz. dimensions and has 11 fine rooms. On the front of the church will be a tower which will be just as high and substantial as it can be made from what is left of the stone after the rest of the structure is finished. The plans for all of it were sketched by the Rev. Mr Schwarz and made exact by an archi tect. There are no specifications in use. The plans are fol lowed not by get ting material to fit them, but by con forming them as nearly as possible to material that can be cheaply bought. The work went BIU w i j , uctnu or in * • Schwarz could not afford to put on a large force of men. His foreman, Fred Slather, is a German stone mason. The wages of the men are the one debt which Mr. Schwarz does not intend to neg lect and his men are paid every Saturday as if they were working for a wealthy contractor who had thousands to back his operations. To do this the builder has had to rely upon the kindness of his other creditors, who have helped the cause by not pressing their claims. That 86,000 that has already been put into the work was gathered mostly from the contributions of friends all over the country. Other paBtors have taken up benefit collections, a friend in In diana sent $200, and the congregation has con tributed far beyond what might be expected from their means. Mr. Schwarz made a bouse-to-house campaign of four days down in Riley, Kan., and raised $200 in that way. One of the church trus tees, who declared when the project was begun that be would not do anything to aid it, has al ready given $100, and others have given $100 and $200 contributions. Churches have promised contributions that will probably average $25 each and several hundred dollars more is expected from that source. “If I just had $6,000 more I could finish it.” says the minister, and he seems not to lack faith that the $6,000 will come as it is needed. Mr: Schwarz’s unique undertaking has attract ed considerable attention and promises of finan cial assistance have come in from various parts of the country. These donations to a most wor thy cause are for the most part in small amounts, but are none the less appreciated by the ener getic pastor and the encouragement thus re ceived has had no little part in helping along the good work. Rev. Schwarz has announced that all outside contributions will be gratefully received and promptly acknowledged. The biggest addition to the fund that has come so far was the $2,500 got from selling the old parsonage, which the pastor advised as soon as he saw the possibility of making a home for himself as a part of the new building. It is be lieved that enough more can easily be raised to put on a rorf so that services can be held in the basement, and after that the money will come in faster. In the meantime the minister is watching everywhere for anything that will make his church more commodious or his home more attractive. "The season for my doing all this,” said Rev. Mr. Schwarz, as he laid aside the tools with which he was hefping the workmen, "is that I be lieve that right here is the best field for work among the Germans that there is in all the northwest. My * life occupation is missionary work1 among my German people and the | only reason why I want to stay here and put up this big church for my f small congregation is because from here I can reach so many Germans. I was born an American, but came from German parents and am thor . oughly German in thought and feel ing. When I decided to become a minister I saw that the greatest need ^ was among my own people, so I studied at a German seminary. My position makes it possible for me to reach many who are in need of help and many who are stran gers and I want' to stay here and make my work effective in helping the German citizens in this country.” It is because of this sincere desire to be of help to his church that Mr. Schwarz has labored with his hands and brain to build the new church. It has arisen out of what seemed to be insurmount able difficulties. Not only the cornerstone, but every stone in it was once refused by tbe builders, but when it is finished there will be no fault found with its smooth, gray walls, its modern equipment and its generous dimensions. In connection with his pastoral and building work Rev. Mr. Schwarz devotes nine hours a week to teaching in tbe University of Omaha, where be has charge of the German classes. He is also stated clerk of the presbytery of Omaha, and the compensation received from this additional work he considers providential in that It helps to secure him sufficient salary to bring his work to a self-supporting basis. Rev. Schwarz’ father was a practicing physician in Franklin county, Mo. He bailed from Heidel berg, Baden, Germany. Rev. Schwarz was left an orphan at tbe age of 11 months. He was taken Into the home of a kind-hearted couple who had already raised eight children of their own. As a tribute to tbe memory of his foster par ents and as a token of appreciation of the kind ness received at their bauds, the church parsonage has been turned into a sort of a home for the friendless and a refuge for the destitute. Many have partaken of the parson’s hospitality until work or other assistance had been offered. Should this sort of hospitality require more space, it is possible that an old people’s home may be estab lished after the financial obligations of the new church edifice have been met. SCIENCE AND FAITH Is it true that the greater the knowledge the lesB the religious interest? Are these two persons, the man whose zeal for religion is equaled by his bigotry and ignorance and the other in whom scl entific study has dwarfed spiritual sensibility, fair types by which to judge the relations of religion and knowledge? Is intelligence incompatible with real piety? Will the growth of knowledge bring about tbe dis solution of religion? Is the life of religious aspi rations and feelings out of date in a scientific age such as we are constantly reminded this one is to-day? Ssience has overcome superstition; is faith sc bound up with superstition that it. too, must gov We can be sure of one thing, at least; no matter what our feelings, theories or ide&c. may be. we cannot turn our backs on the great world of fact as It is laid before us. The faith that fights facts is committing suicide. Appeals to our fears cannot to-day make the facts less real to us and we know that by them we will have to stand or mil. If you stop to think about il, there is a striking significance in the fact that this question baa arisen. Is there a religion for tbe intelligent, edu cated, scientific mind? It suggests another ques tion: Can any other mind fully comprehend the riches and meaning of religion? The unthinking cling to customs, traditions and forms that are the vestiges of truth. The trained mind distinguishes between the garments of truth and •vuth itself. Must Have Planned Ahead. - 4L Willie’s Deep Reasoning Concerning Good Old Santa Claus.

"Yes, dear,'1 answered his mother. “An’ did he stop at each chimney ta he went along, and did he have junt the right thing for everybody?" "Why, of course, dearie.” "Well, mamma, he must have been mighty quick to visit all the places in one night.” > “He is very quick, dear.” “I don't believe he did It that way,” said W'lllie. after a moment of deep thought. “How do you think he did it?” asked bis mother. “Why, I think he planned ahead.” ‘‘What makes vou think that, dear ie?” “ ’Cause—'cause he had $11 mv pres ents put away in the closet under the steps two days before Christmas.”— Harper's Weekly.

FINEST JURAL Scottish Rite Temple in Fort Wayne Is Dedicated. Masons of High Degree at Exercises Attending Opening of $200,000 Temple—Has a Fine Ban. quet Hall. Fort Wayne, Ind.—The new Scot tish Rite cathedral in Fort Wayne, costing about $200,000, and said to be the finest in America, was dedicated ou the evening of November 17 in the presence of visiting members of the order from most of the larger cities of the far east and the middle west. The dedication was preceded by a banquet, at which 1,000 plates were laid. The banquet-room of the cathedral fills the entire ground floor and is one of the largest and most ornate banquet halls in the west. Owing to the illness of Sovereign Grand Commander Samuel C. Law rence, 33, of Boston, the master of ceremonies was Barton Smith of To ledo, 33, puissant lieutenant grand commander, assisted by John Corson Smith, 33, grand minister of state. William Geak.i, 33, of this city, com mander-in-chief of the Fort Wayne Sovereign Consistory, assisted in the dedication. ' The dedication was held at the reg ular time of the fall meeting of the consistory for the Valley of Fort Wayne, and 300 took the Scottish Rite degrees. Degrees were given from the fourth to the Thirty-second. Heretofore this valley had no jurisdic tion beyond the eighteenth degree, and the degrees from 19 to 32 were conferred here for the first time. As »he consistory has already nearly 1, 100 members, the Fort Wayne consis tory has become one of the largest in the country. The cathedral, which was designed by Mahurin & Mahtirin of Fort Wayne, is at Clinton and Washington streets, in the residence section, with the handsome First Presbyterian church across the street It is built of Bedford stone on all sides and Is thoroughly fireproof, being finished within with concrete floors, marble stairways and wainscoting, and iron Front View of Cathedral. balustrades. Some rooms are finished in Cuban mahogany, but there is very little infiammable material anywhere. The heating is by steam and the light ing by electricity. The cathedral is three stories high, with a spacious basement. The ground floor will be the banquet and ball rooms, with galleries. The social rooms are on the second floor, which is also provided with quarters for la dies. There is also a room for the Mystic Shrine. The third floor is oc cupied by the consistory auditoiium, which is arranged on the stadium plan with tiers of opera chairs rising steep ly, so that those in the rear seats can all see the work on the large floor be low. There are seats for nearly 60(1 in this auditorium. The organ loft is to the north and at the south end there is a spacious stage provided with scenery, the work of a St. Louis firm. The proscenium arch is elaborate with the designs and emblems of the several degrees. The decorative de sign and color scheme were the work of a Chicago firm. The organ was made in Rock Island at a cost of $6,000. Left Parson with Victory. A west of England parson once re fused to read the Athanasian creed.. The parishioners complained to the bishop, who told the parson he must read it. Now it so happened that the creed may be "said or sung,” so on the following Sunday the parson ad dressed his congregation thus: “Next lollows Athanasius' creed, either to he said or sung, and, with heaven’s leave, J will sing it. Now, clerk, mind what you are about” After this they both struck up and sang it with great glee to a fox-hunting tune, which, having previously been practiced, was well performed. The indignant parishion ers sent word hot haste to the bishep shout what had happened, but he said ne could do nothing, as the creed had been sung, so the parishioners decided to dispense with it altogether in fu ture.—London Opinion. Fearlessness of Seagulls. A Glasgow doctor who was recently touring the Highlands had a some what unique experience with seagulls while^jjassing through the Caledonian canal, says the Glasgow News. The birds, were as usual, following the steamer and were being fed by the passengers. To prove how tame or bold they wore, the doctor fed them by plac ing pieces of biscuit on hiB cap. The birds soon displayed much- skill in snapping up the food. Then the doctor placed a piece of biscuit in his mouth. The gulls were shy at first, but ulti mately one bird bolder than his fel lows partook of the morsel, and be fore long there was brisk competition for the titbits. The snapshooters on board were kept busily engaged, so that there is now pictorial proof of the incident. -. Brotherly Love.
