Y. M. C. A. GYM IN RUSSIA.
First Y. M. C. A. Gym Is Opened In
Land of the Czar.
While Norfolk Is working for a Y.
M. C. A. building over in St. Peters
burg they have started the Russia's
first Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. A press
dispatch says :
The first gymnasium to bo opened
by a Young Men's Christian associa
tion In Russia and at the same time
the first school of scientifically direct
ed physical training using the meth
ods developed by the Y. M. C. A. nnd
colleges of America has Just been
opened In St. Petersburg.
It has Immediately sprung Into pop
ularity nnd the Russians are heartily
taking to it. Instead of the heavy
apparatus work In vogue throughout
Europe , there is taught the American
method of light body-building exer
cises nnd games and especially bas
ketball. This fully equipped physical
department , including gymnasium
with running track and an extensive
system of baths and dressing rooms ,
nnd all directed by n religions organl-
xation as a part of its man-develop
ing system , is a new demonstration
in the empire.
The gymnasium was erected and
equipped at the expense of James
Stokes of New York , who established
the association and purchased the
main building several years ago. The
association already has a membership
exceeding 1,500 , and the minister of
finance has notified its treasurer that
a gift of 5,000 rubles would bo forth
coming annually from the govern
ment for Its support. Business houses
have contributed to Its maintenance ,
so that 35,000 rubles each year are
at Its disposal.
The czar has been so much Im
pressed with the services of the asso-
catlon that he has made personal ac
knowledgment of his appreciation to
Mr. Stokes , Its founder.

DR. TINDALL PREACHES ANNUAL
SERMON TO Gr ADUATES.
A SPLENDID MAY MORNING
Methodist Church Is Crowded for the
Annual Class Sermon High School
Faculty and Class Attend In Dody.
Special Music a Feature.
Commencement week opened with
a bright sunlit May Sunday morning ,
the occasion of the baccalaureate ser
mon delivered to the graduating class
of the high school by Dr. D. R. Tin
dull. The Methodist church wau
crowded for the service.
The members of the graduating
class and the members of the high
school faculty who were In the city
attended the services In a body.
There was special music for the
class service. A solo was sung by
Mrs. Mohler of Wayne.
Dr. Tindnlt's ' Address.
Dr. Tlndall's sermon was an effec
tive address and was closely followed
by all present.
Finding his text In I Thes. 5:2 : ; ! , Mr.
Tlndall said In part : "My theme is a
'Wholly Sanctified Life. ' Snnctlllcntion
Implies two things , holiness and con
secration , purity and service. In
sanctldcatlon wo are saved from sin
and consecrated to the service of
God. The vessels which Nebuchad-
nezer txk ( from the holy temple
when he destroyed Jerusalem were
sanctified vessels they were clean
and used only for the temple service.
When one Is sanctified by God's grace
one Is made clean from sin nnd sot
apart to the service of the Lord.
"The whole person must bo sancti
fied to God ; Paul prays for the sancll-
llcatlon of the body. How Important
la the body ? It Is the Instrument of
the soul. Great men have usually had
well and strong bodies. This is true
of statesmen und clergymen. The
body must be developed educated.
There are various exercises condu
cive to this. Some choose foot ball ,
but I regard this game as too danger
ous and mutilating to the body. Others
prefer base ball. There Is splendid
development derived from this game ,
but let It be played In week time and
not on Sunday. The gymnasium Is
helpful If not carried to extreme. But ,
may 1 say that there Is no symmet
rical development for the body like
that formed on the farm , where every
muscle and tendon Is brought Into
requisition ; and nothing is much
more safe or lucrative as an avocation.
Let not the boys despise the farm.
For girls , while skating and basket
ball and other out-door exercises may
be well , perhaps nothing will tend to
health and symmetrical development
of limb , body and form , more than
house keeping than sweeping , cook
ing , washing dishes. To be able to
preside over both kitchen and drawIng -
Ing room , to cook a good meal as well
as entertain on tbo piano , arc accom
plishments not to be turned down by
our girls.
"The body must be kept sacred. It
is declared by the scriptures to bo
the 'temple of the Holy Ghost. " The
bodies of boys should be kept as holy
and sacred as those of the girls. One
moral law Is binding equally on both.
I expect the same chastity from my
boy as from my girl , and so should
the community expect the same. AH
the sacred relations of parents nnd
children , sisters and brothers are
based In the body. Keep yourselves
pure from all manner of evil. But the
body Is only a part of man ; he has
a soul. Man Is more than matter or
instinct , he is mind. If others wish
to go to a zoological garden for their
ancestry , they may , I prefer going to
the garden of Eden. The mind is the
standard of the man , as Isaac Watts
Is said to have remarked. The great
est mind In the world distances all
the great rolling rivers , towering
mountains and sublime seas. It Is
like God , and can think his thoughts
after him. The mind can and must
be developed , educated. What de
velopment there ls < In a lump of Iron
one from the time It Is taken from the
mine until we see it In the form of
hair springs In a watch. It Is then
educated. Behold the development of
cotton from the time it loaves the bur
until It Is woven as a beautiful dress.
Or , the wool on a sheep's back from
the time it Is shorn until it Is seen
as a handsome suit of clothes. Tim
ber , from the time It stands In the
forest until It is seen in handsome
piano cases , How marvelous the de
velopment of the mind of that boy
from the time he begins to learn the
alphabet until we behold him an as
tronomer analyzing the stars. Man
Is fearfully and wonderfully made , nnd
the mind Is a great thing. Take
memory. In that hall you boys and
girls who graduate from our high
school this week have been hanging
pictures for years. I trust you have
placed no evil scenes there. You have
hanging In the hall of memory this
morning your school days In Norfolk
the beautiful school building ; also
the school boaid which has done what
it could to help you ; your faithful
teachers who have done their utmost
to develop your minds ; and those
dear parents who have made untold
sacrifices to give you a clmnco to
como as you have to this hour. You
will find occasion often , I trust , to
view these sacred pictures as they
hang In memories' hall.
"But you also have a spirit , which
Is the crowning feature of man. As
the most glorious past of Daniel's
Image of a man representing kingdoms
was the head of gold , so the spirit Is
the finishing touch or ciowning glory
of man This spirit In man must not ,
and cannot with Impunity , be neglect

August Brummund.
A Norfolk man will be a prominent
Ilgui'o In I lie mod ing of the grand
lodge of the Sons of Ilerrmau at
Grand Island next week. August
Brnmmund Is one of the state trus
tees of the order. He will be up for
re-election at the Grand Island meet-
Ing.
August Brummund has lived In Nor
folk for thirty-eight years. He came
here before the mill , the completion
of which marks the beginning of Nor
folk's active career as a village , was
finished , lie has been an active fig
ure in democratic politics.
No man In Norfolk has served on
the city council more years than Mr.
Brummund. Only one man , ex-Coun
cilman John Spollman , has equalled
his record. But one man , President
Julius Degner of the present council ,
has any Immediate prospect of equal
ing it.
Mr. Brummund is a grand trustee
of the Sons of Herrman lodge In Ne
braska. Ho has been a state olllcer
of this typical German lodge for three
years.
Last Wednesday August Brummund
completed three years of public ser
vice as water commissioner. In this
city olllco he has left n record of
which he can be proud. He put the
water department of Norfolk on a
cash basis. Ho ran the business more
carefully than many private business
ventures on Norfolk avenue.
Mr. Brummund has spent virtually
all of his mature years in this vi
cinity. He came to Norfolk in 1R09 ,
thirty-eight years ago. He has lived
hero ever since. Norfolk wns agro-en
hamlet when he arrived.
August Brummund wns born In
Pommcrn , Germany , on February C ,
ISIS. Like many of Norfolk's most
valued citizens he came to Norfolk by
way of Wisconsin. In Germany he
learned the cabinet trade. This has
boon his trade in Norfolk- , where he
has a reputation as a skilled carpen
ter.
From New York City the yoiing
German went direct to Wisconsin ,
where he had relatives. The next
spring he came to Norfolk , arriving
here April 12 , 1870. From Fremont ,
the railroad terminal , ho completed
his journey on foot.
Here ho entered at once Into the
carpenter trade. He helped complete
the mill , working for Herman Gerecke.
The old Norfolk House represented
Mr. Brummund's first experience as
a contractor. This was the llrst real
hotel put up in Norfolk and was con-
not sit level on a lloor. A man all
body will bo little more than a beast ;
If all Intellect he Is likely to be cold
and skeptical ; and If only religiously
developed he will almost 'surely be a
fanatic. David was a beautiful sped-
man of symmetrical development. He
was strong In body , bright In Intellect
and a man after God's own heart , be
ing a highly spiritual man. Morals
based on the Christian religion are
absolutely necessary to our highest
and best development. How sacred Is
the spirit In man. It Is the holy of
holies in him. It Is the God-side in
man. It enables us to correspond with
God. It Is his ark or dwelling place In
man. Nothing but God should bo al
lowed to occupy It. In the text Paul
speaks of the coming of our l. < ord Je
sus Christ. That Is the judgment day ,
examination day or grand review. If
wo arc ready for It , it will bo a time
of great rejoicing. When you were
ready for your examinations they were
occasions of pleasure. I once witnessed
a grand review of soldiers. The place
was Naples , Italy. The one who re
viewed the troops was Prince Hum
bert. The day was bright and beauti
ful , the air soft and balmy and that
historic bay was at its best as it em
braced the beautiful city. The silvery
waters Iloated many little sailboats
and larger crafts. The flashy uniform
of the cavalry and Infantry fairly daz
zled the eye. The prince was proud ,
so were the soldiers , and even the
horses seemed conscious of the occa
sion. After the review was over and
the troops went marching up a high
hill to tholr barracks , with their
bright uniforms , polished guns nnd
flashing sabers , and bands pouring
sweet music on the still nlr , a picture
was presented I shall not soon forget.
But a greater review Is coming when
the Prince of Peace shall rovlow his
faithful servants and take them homo
to heaven. As they inarch up around
