Divinity of Christ
Subject of Sermon
in Omaha Church
Rev. J. W. Savage of People’s
Church Declares Question
Is Very Profound
One.
"Does it make any difference If
Christ was divine or not?” asked
Bev. J. AV. Savage in his morning
sermon at People’s church. 515 North
Eighteenth street, Sunday. And
i lien he proceeded to tell why Jesus
"as a God. not a man.
"Many of our moat cifltured minis
ters now are engaged in an interesting
controversy,” said Rev. Savage.
The battle between modernists and
fundamentalists is likely to split the
Episcopal church from top to bottom
in membership and money.”
Rev. Savage based the proof of
i hrist’s divinity upon three principal
factors. “The Bible says He was di
vine." declared the pastor. “It is
mentioned in the books of the pro
phets in the Old Testament, and in
i lie New Testament. He is describ
ed in the Book of Revelation, 1:14.
"Secondly, the work Christ had to
do required a God. None but a God
could have created the work of crea
tion, that of redemption, or perform
the coming judgment." He charac
terized Christ as the son and repre
sentative of God. carrying out and
executing His wishes.
"Thirdly, the great men of the
■ hurch who stand above the others
ike snow-capped mountains, support
t lie divinity of Christ,” continued Rev,
Savage. lie mentioned the names
of Ignatius, Polycarp, Justyn Myetyr,
Svprian of Carthage, John Huss of
Bohemia, and Jerome of Prague.
‘Most of them suffered martyrdom
for their beliefs,” he said.

I’riest Victim of Cold Trying
* to Carry Presents to
Alaskan Orphanage.
By Associated VrcM.
Nome, Alaska, Deo. 24.—An Eskimo
nushed 75 miles In two days to tell
Some today that the Rev. S. J. Rup

Catholic church in this city, had
yielded his life to the cold while try
ng to take oranges, apples and
1 'hrlstmas greeting cards to the Hot
Springs orphanage, near the Pilgrim
l iver, north of here.
Over Father Ruppert's body, when
it was found eight days ago on the
bank of the river, four miles from the
rphanage, stood Mink, the leader of
his dog team. Mink ferociously re
yclipij those who came to carry his
iead master to the orphanage, and
had to be captured first.
Search for Father Ruppert had
een started when one dog appeared
it Iron Creek, 15 miles from Hot
Springs, soon after another arrived
it the orphanage. Father Ruppert,
■vlio won the love of the north by the
way he worked for others, without
bought of himself In an Influenza
pidemic that wasted the Eskimos and
ook many whites In this district sev
eral years ago, was burled Wednes
lay at the orphanage.
Carrying his Christmas cheer for
'■0 persons, including sisters and
brothers of the orphans at the in
-dilutions, Father Ruppert was con
tinuing his journey alone from Duffy
O'Connor' roadhouse, which Is on the
1 oute to Hot Springs from Nome. It
x believed that reindeer frightened
Itls team and caused his dogs to
matter.
Indications on the trail were that
Kather Ruppert had followed the
road to the orphanage for two miles
after his dogs broke apart, and that,
growing over-weary, he left the
xtormy trail six miles from the or
phanage and went into the brush on
i he Pilgrim river. A temperature of
id) degrees below zero was prevailing
in that region. Father Ruppert seem
1 d to have laid down to rest. He had
taken off his parka, or fur hood,
folded it neatly and clasped it be
tween his body and one of his arms.
