what can be accomplished by a few ear
nest, hard-working men under the leader
ship of a preacher full of enthusiasm and
inspiring optimism.
When be first went to Omaha,
years ago. Rev. Julius F. Schwarz
determined that his congregation
should have a new church. The fact that the mem
bers numbered only 60 and the whole property of
the corporation was about $5,000 troubled him not
at all, and he began to build with as 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 and irregular stone and
all the generally discarded building materials that
4-ould be found in Omaha and from
them to build a church. It was not to
ie a mean and ugly house of worship,
lint a well-equipped, well arranged,
ample meeting place for bis people.
He has now extended it to Include
an ll-room bouse for his own family
and the wholes property."' would have
cost $30,000 If it had been built by
contract. As built by Rev. Sir.
Schwarz and his fellow laborers It
Mill cost less than $25,000. The other
XI 3.000 has been saved to his people
br the perseverance, energy and in
genuity of the pastor.
The first charge that Mr. Schwarz
took when he left the theological
seminary was at Connersville. 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
cam he announced that the church
was too small. To build a church
-ith a membership of CO seemed out
of the question to all but the pastor,
lie thought be knew a way and he
ei about it with almost no support.
at tlrst, from the others.
For a year he sought for a suitable
location and finally purchased the lot
the 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,
ami replacing bis ministerial dignity
w;h a grim and effective energy be
lsan 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 frotri
friends outside of Omaha and waited
for his own people to contribute vol
untarily. The dollars came slowly,
but they came with sufficient steadi
ness to assure him that he could
make a few purchases for a start.
While walking on the street one day
h saw that In repairing the street
the old curbs we're being taken up.
"These are good blocks." said the
pastor-builder, and he bargained with
the contractor to take them off 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

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 reason for my doing all this,"
said Rev. Mr. Schwarz, as he laid
aside the tools with which he was
helping the workmen, "is that I be
lieve that right here Is the best field

there is In all the northwest. My

converted
An opportunity, came to the builders when the
driveway was constructed leading down to the
Union station ou the north side. Here was
bought 15,000 feet of lumber that had been used
in scaffolding and a carload of fine red sandstone
was purchased for $20. When, a few weeks later,
a contractor offered Mr. Schwarz $70 for that
ame carload of red stone 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 only 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
ome 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 of 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 GOO. measures 44x73 feet. The
roof extends back over the parsonage, making it
a full three stories high, with one room'in the
attic Th hnube oart is 24x50 feet ir ground
dimensions and
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
slowly, because Mr.
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 $6,000 that has already been put into the
work was gathered mostly from the contributions
of friends all over the country. Other pastors
have taken up benefit collections, a friend in In
diana sent $200, and the congregation has con
tributed far beyond what might he expected from
their means. Mr. Schwarz made a house-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 he would not do anything to aid it. has at-'
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 fa'th
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 he 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 rocT so that services can be held in the
position makes it possible for me to reacn 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 Cennan 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 the 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 the University of Omaha,
where he 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 balled from Heidel
berg, Baden, Germany.
Rev. Schwarz was left an orphan at the 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 the memory of his. foster par
ents and as a token of appreciation of the kind
ness received at their bands, 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
less 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 sci
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 the 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 V this' one' is

faith to bcund
must sor
We can be sure of one thing, at least; t?;t. no
matter what our feelings, theories or ideais 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 haveto stand or
fall.
If you stop to think about it, there is a striking
significance in 'the fact that this question baa
arisen. Is there a-religion for the intelligent,-educated,
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 truth itself.

TWELVEr years ago, when Senator
electwllliam O'Connell Bradley of
Kentucky, was governor of that state,
a youth who at 15 was carrying the
editorial burden of a weekly newspa
per in a country town in Illinois drift
ed, into Frankfort on a bicycle trip.
There wasn't much to see in Frank
fort except the state capitol. so 4ie
went up there.
It was the young editor's first in
spection of a state capitol, and his
eyes were open -for everything.
Naturally the sign "Governor's Of
fice" interested him, and he quickly
'decided to call on the governor. He
sent in his card and presently the
.doorkeper returned and said: "The
governor will see you."
Then did the visitor really wish
that his curiosity about the governor's
office hadn't got the better of him. It
would be manifestly improper to In
trude on the governor's time with
out some motive, and still the young
editor couldn't think of any motive.
On the way to the inner office he de
cided to take the governor into his
confidence and confess that there
wasn't any cause for the visit, except
a small matter of editorial courtesy.
Prompted, no doubt, by that spirit
that has made him the head of his
party in the state and that enabled
to Be Written Up
him to win his fight for the senate
against apparently overwhelming-odds.
Gov. Bradley talked to the boy jour
nalist for an hour, speaking most in
terestingly on subjects that could not
fail to interest even a youth that didn't
have a news Instinct
The governor described his early ex
periences as a Republican In a Demo
cratic hotbed, when to go to the polls
and vote the Republican ticket was
only one form of committing suicide.
He told how at one period of his po
litical activity it became necessary for
all the Republicans of the town In
which he lived to fortify themselves
in a house and defend themselves
against Democratic raiders who were
thirsting for blood.
There were so many of these stories
that the hour had passed before either
the governor or his visitor knew It
and when the boy editor finally ex
cused himself he carried away a pic
ture bearing the governor's auto
graph. When Gov. Bradley won his success
ful fight before the Kentucky legisla
ture a few weeks ago the editor, who
had been reduced by lapse of time to
just plain reporter, remembered these
stories of the early days, and wrote
the senator-elect asking the privilege
of telling them to the whole country.
Gov. Bradley's reply stamps him as a
man who Is going to make himself
disliked in Washington If he doesn't
change his mind:
"There Is nothing that is more dis
tasteful to me than to talk about my
self, and you must excuse me from en
tering into an account ot my past ex
perience as politician. I have never
written it up, and never expect 'to."
Pages in the Senate Mimic Big Men
HT. y 4rQyY v- rql3bBBBW sbbbbbbbbb
IT IS the custom for the senate pages
to hold two or three mock senate
sessions every winter. These sessions
are held on afternoons when the sen
ate is not sitting, and are conducted
with all the solemnity and poise of
a regular meeting.
One day the youngsters were con
ducting a mock trial of the Swayne im
peachment case. "Billy" Annin was
presiding. Another youngster was pos
ing as Anthony HIggins, counsel for
Judge Swayne, and was interrogating
a witness. Senator Spooner of Wis
consin, came into the senate chamber
unexpectedly, and, seeing what was
going on, took a sent near the entrance
to the cloakroom.
Presently an intricate parliamentary
question arose, and half a dozen pages
were on their feet asking for recogni
tion. Mr. Spooner thought he might
be able to clarify the question. Ac
cordingly he approached his seat and
called out: "Mr. President!"
The irrepressible "Billy" was not
taken back. "The chair will recognize
the senator from Wisconsin." he said,
as he brought down the gavel and nod
ded to Mr. Spooner.
The ease and poise of the youngster
startled Senator Spooner, and it was
nearly a minute before he could con
trol his twinkling eyes.
"Is It not out of order," he asked,
"to permit so many senators to ad
dress the chair at the same time?"
"It is decidedly out of order," said
the piping voice in the vice-president's
chair.
"The point made by the senator from
Wisconsin is well taken. The senate
will come to order." '
In the house of representatives there
are 23 pages, and In the senate 16.
According to the regulations, no
page can be under 12 years or over
16 years of age.
The position of senate page pays
a salary of $75 a month when con
gress Is in session, and, like all other
employes of congress, these young
sters receive an extra month's salary
every year.

A TRAMP got into President Taft's
private car recently, and a very
surprised tramp he must have been,
for he was pounced upon by two of
the most muscular Pullman porters be
had ever seen and then arrested by
Secret Service Officer Sloan.
It was on the Federal express, run
ning from Boston to Washington, on
the rear end of which the president's
private car Mayflower was coupled at
New Haven.
The tramp got on somewhere along
the line. There were two day coaches
ahead of the presidential car, and they
were so crowded that they couldn't
have looked healthy to the most op
timistic of tramps. But there was a
Pullman, and it looked nice and dark,
and so the wanderer strolled in and
hid himself.
It was Letcher, one of the porters,
who found the visitor crouched in a
dark corner of the tiny kitchen. He
made a dive for the man and got him
In a clinch. Then he called his fel
low porter, Anderson. The two of
them had the tramp so scared that he
could hardly see by the time the
secret service men came in and put
him under arrest.
At Bridgeport the tramp was turned
over to the police.' He tried to say
that he was a brakeman on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford road,
but the trainmen knew better. Mr.
Taft slept right through it and never
knew a thing about It until the next
morning.
