POWER OF TRUTH WARMED BY LOVE
JH'inlicru of tlio Order * KrttilndiMl of tlie
J'lillnntliroplc mid Clmrltnble Work
HehiR Ilono by Tliolr Orsanlw-
tluiis-Otlicr I'uliilli.
Yesterday morning nt the Seward Street
Methodist church the pastor , Itev. Dr. Tin-
ilall , preached a pcclal sermon to Odd Fel
lows and Daughters of Ilcbckali. A large
number of the members of these closely
allied orders were prc enl In regalia , The
text clioscn was the question put by 1'ilate
to Jesus : "What Is truth ? " Said he :
IMIatc , the Roman governor of Judea , pro
pounded this question to tlie Christ of our fnl-
vatlon. The Savior did not answer In words ,
for , as He Was the truth , He was Himself
the answer. It Is easier to know wliat
truth IB than to understand Just what
J'llatc rncnnt by this question. It Is hard to
tell Just liow much of skepticism or sin
cerity It contains. Did 1'llato mean to ask
Christ If Ho was king and not Tlborlus
Caesar ? Or If He was the true philosopher
mid not Zcno or Hplcurus ? Or
if He was tnith which led to
God ? Truth Is tlie opposite of error ; It Is
light and understanding. Truth Is the op
posite of falsehood ; It Is honesty , sincerity ,
righteousness. When we speak of the truth
Jve mean the truth of holy scripture tlio
truth of God In Christ. Christ calls Himself
the truth. He was the nntctypc and not
llio type ; substance as opposed to shadow ;
reality on opposed to semblance. He IB tlio
, vcry foundation of all truth , existence and
reality. He not only spoke the truth , but
ivas Himself the truth. "Grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ. " Truth IH the cor
respondence between the representation aud
the thing represented. History Is truth
When It represents facts , whether stated by
blerosus , Herodltus or men of old under In-
eplrotlon , as they wrote the scriptures. To
Illustrate1 A truthful photograph Is one that
faithfully represents the original. A gen
uine Christian life la one that measures up
to the requirements of the word of God and
the truth as It Is In Jesus. The bible Is a
faithful mirror of divine truth , In which
> nan Is revealed In all his slnfnlncss by na
ture and what ho may and must be by grace.
It IR all there In perfect transparency.
The truth Is to make man free. By
rmtiiro ho Is a slave of sin. As Israel WOB
In bonflage to the Pharaohs , BO Is man by
Jiatttro to satan ; as ono Is. . In the dark when
blindfolded , so Is man In sin. Ho Is In
Uarkncss and In chains. He Is blind and
cannot nee afar off. Physical bondage la
J > ad and Intellectual fetters arc worse , but
moral and spiritual slavery is Infinitely the
Egyptian bondage or negro slavery of anto-
ivorst of all. It Is not to be compared with
fcellum times. Truth Is the deliverer from
bucli bondage. 'The truth shall make you
free. " "If tlio Son make you free , ye shall
ho free Indeed. " Truth Is the axe laid at
the root of sin. Truth tears off all masks
mid gives us to sco that God's eye Is upon
us , not as Samuel's eye was upon Saul ,
merely on the outward man , but searching
tlio very secrets of our hearts. Go where
, ive may or do what wo will , that all-seeing
toyo beholds us.
Christ frees us by the truth. Not ns a
; reat leader and conqueror , Ilollver , ' freed
nuch of South America , or as Washington
'reed ' the American colonies. He frees us
'foot as a Plato or a Spencer would under
take It , by philosophy ; not by authority
lots tin attempt It , as a. dictatorial church ;
nor by mere argument , as would national
ism. Ho ( loca It by the truth and trial
truth Is himself. Christ spoke to the
world nnd gave It spiritual truth
hml llfo for Its ritualism. tradi
tionalism and death. Luther at another
fyark time In the world's history spoke to
Ifnen and they received the truth of grace
alvntion by faith In the place of super-
Btltion ; John Wesley In a time of great
pirltual torpor and death spoke to the
! vorld and It entered Into the blessedness of
, Jie great truth that. If one Is saved lie may
; mow it. In Jill these Instances it was
jplirist saying , "Let there bo light , " and
.there was llgh.t. Out of darkness sprang
iRht , out of chaos order and beauty , * und
out of death llfo.
MUST HAVE LOVE'S WARMTH.
. Truth to reach and help man must be on
flro with love. Cold truth Is like moon-
.fhlne In winter It lights but does not warm.
'It is the warm side of truth that affects
man. '
I It is more heart the world needs. It has
ever been short on heart. As ono has Raid ,
Iho world has brain enough to run several
Worlds , but not heart enough to run ono.
Love begins at the heart and flows outward.
It began In heaven and flowed down Into
Ibis dark , cold world. It went from Christ
to the Jews and thence to the Gentiles ; It
flowed from Jerusalem to Antloch and to the
Jvorld ; from the first disciples to earth's
remotest bounds. Love shows Itself In deed.
In no other way do wo know of Its existence.
{ To say wo love without showing It in deed
Satisfies no one.
j- Christ asks us to show our love for him
by keeping his commandments. Nothing
e-Iso Is love , however great the pretense ,
long tlio prayer or , loud the shout. "If ye
jove mo yo will keep my words. "
I wish Just hero to emphasize the philan
thropy nnd charity of Odd Fellowship. As
( o the secrecy of the order or of any other
Order I need not speak ; this Is n matter
that will tnko care of Itself. I speak only
of what It does for humanity. The Western
CL-rlstlan Advocate la my authority for say
ing that Odd Fellowship last year In the
United Stales gave In philanthropy the
Qat.dsomo sum of $3,500,000. or JIOO for
| j\ory hour of the year.Vo may well Im-
bglno how many hearts of widows , orphans
find sick brothers were gladdened by this
erni of money , nnd the loving care It rep
resents , "ny their fruit ye shall Know
them. " Many times have I seen the blea-
Blngs of the benevolence of this order. One
of the great objects of life Is to bless others
,1o are not simply to be n great mutual
admiration society In this world , but n great
mutual helping Institution. This Is becom
ing nn Immensely practical nge , and de
mands of every Institution ns u Justification
Wild ? ; that ! ° It ' ! have lhat a U loving bo llellfl" | heart to nnd " ' " n
helpful hand. Love Is like a hive cf bees ,
making honey for others na well as them-
la love there la n frlcndahlp which Is
slg-
nincant. Wo uro all familiar with the beau-
tlful and tenacious friendship which existed
Wtwccn Jonathan and David. Thourh In
many particulars those men were not equals
Jhey wore ono on the basis of Immunity and
friendship. Jonathan was n prlnco , Davltl
but a shepherd boy , yet they loved as equals.
Is not the great trouble between capital nnd
.labor of today moro ono of caste than
money ? la it not moro n matter of "I nm
better than thou. " or the way the rich treat
the poor In society than that of wages ? in
a word , Is It not that the poor nnd laboring
man feels ho does not enjoy the love and
friendship of the rich ? Christ's strong
hold on the world Is that In him wo feel we
Imvo n friend that stlcketh closer than a
brother.
A good , warm grasp of the band Is slgnlfl-
? " .V J.Tlie , licart may bo put lllto tl10 nnd.
Methodists have been proverbial for hand
shaking. To love humanity and bo friendly
( to ono another does not necessitate our an.
irobatlon of another's sins. Stand by hu-
nanlty ; help a brother ; but condemn his
sins. Some have- the Idea that an Odd
rejlow or Mason or church member means
ho endorsing of all the crlmo committed
by a member of the order. Wo have not
10 learned any of these societies , If a
Brother Odd Follow , Mason or church meni-
jor should commit murder , stand by him us
. human being and do all the acts of love
ihd friendship' ' you can for him ; but let the
aw have Its way , and If It Kays hang , wo
Should say bang. Anything less would bo
bruol anything more merely sentimental.
Where acts of friendship , truth ami love
tire found woman will not bo far off. No
lace , Sphere or grace In this world Is per *

At the Hoard of Trade building' yester
day afternoon I3r. Hodolf , of the Church
of Truth , nddresscd n pirmll audience on
"Poverty , Its Cnli. e nnd Cure. " He teen
for his text the following words from tne
sixteenth chnpter of Matthew : "When It
Is evening , ye sny , it Will be fnlr weather ;
for the henven Is red. And In the morn
ing , It will bo foul wpnthcr today ; for the
heaven IH rrd nnd lowering. iV know
how to discern the fnoo of the heaven ;
but ye cannot discern the signs of the
times. " He nuld :
Christ's career upon earth win charac
terized by n careful study nnd thorough
knowledge of the times In which ho liven ,
The Christian to < lny must also study tht
signs of the tlmos. No man can today be
a Christian without holng a politician ,
using thi ? word jxilltlotiui In Its true sense ;
but no partisan can bo a Christian.
To the- man who reads the signs of the
present times nothing stands out more
bold than poverty , individual and na
tional. As a people the Americans Imvf
so long boon fed on the Klowlni ; wonls of
holiday orators that they have but u vague
conception of their own country. They
arc Inclined to suppose that ( his country
Is possessed of boundless wealth , that wt
have plenty and to spare ; wheions , the
fact Is , wo so neaily use tip our products
every yunr that If WP were to com
pletely suspend production It would be
but a few weeks , or nt most but a
few months , before wo would ns a people
feel keenly tlie pangs of poverty , even If
every facility were afforded fur thPcorn -
plcte distribution of the uoalth stored in
various localities. As a nation we lira
not rich , and as Individuals many are In
the direst ( listless from a lack of the com
forts of llfo.
To the student of the slgni of the
times this condition Is clearly visible , anil
to the earnest Christian It Is a matter of
the keenest concern.
Why Is this poverty ? In a nation of
hobby rldeis every one has his opinion ,
every ono can tell you the cause of pov
erty.
One says It li Inattention to business.
Tills Is In part true. If a man's bUMlncss
Is producing wealth-and lie falls to attend
to It , of course ho will not produce so much
wealth. Hut the word business we ordinar
ily umlorstml to mean not the piodtietlnn
of wealth , but the getting of what others
haveproduced. . The amount of wealth In
the nation Is neither Increased nor dimin
ished by attention to such business , hence
while this might explain Individual pov
erty In pome cases , It could not explain our
national poverty.
Another says poverty Is due to lack of
business ability. Theie Is an clement of
truth -In the assertion. Under a system
which resolves mankind Into a horde of
hungry grabbers , nnd In wlilrh business Is
a scramble for overythlnsr In slsht , rer-
talnly the Individual with the least ability
to Krab will get the smallest share. Lint
while men exist there will bo illfferences
In ability , some will fare worse , anil such
poverty can bo cured only by a chungu of
system.
"Laziness , " says another. With the pres
ent social Ideas no one will labor If ho Is
able to subsist without It ; that Is , he
will not produce any wraith. Thou , as
only the poor are wealth producers , except
In rare cases , 1C laziness Is the cause of
poverty , all wealth must be the result of
the labor of lazy people. Uather parailoxl-
rnl ; and when wo reflect that these alleged
lazy people not only produce all that
themselves and families consume , besides
supporting all non-producers , but also lay
up a littlein the hands ofthosu fortunate
enough to get It , the paradox Is made
worse.
Another rnuse , whlrh has as many advo
cates as nil tinnthcrs combintd , Is drunk ,
ennessj EralmWy'tllls * Is the cause of cer
tain Vases of poverty , nnd standing here
as one who haw yet to taste intoxicating
liquors , I nm not likely to defend their use.
Hut in most cases drunkenness Is the re
sult of poverty rather than the cium > .
When a poor man Is found who drinks it
Js no more a proof that drink is the cause
of Ills poverty than that drink Is the cause
of the wealthy tipplers' riches. Thousands
Of , men wlio have never spent a dollar for
drink are In dhe want.
The hour for closing having arrived thr
speaker announced that having discussed
the nllefrodcause8 of poverty which were
really not th < > cause , be would next Sunday
continue tha subject by presenting the real
cause of poverty and Its cure.

arrived In Omaha nt 11:40 : a , in , , nnd , nflc
going up town for dinner , took the mete
trains for their destinations. Most of th
Lincoln delegation went to the ball ground
to see their favorites slaughtered nnd let
for home nt 9 o'clock.
Four big excursion trains came In over th
Union Pacific between noon and 1 o'clock
One of these hailed from Kearney , one fron
0rand Island another from Columbus nm
the fourth wns n joint excursion fron
Stromsburg and Deatrlcc. All of these train
were well loaded and the railroad estimate
declares that upward of 3,000 people came In
on the four trains.
Outside of the Lincoln people most of the
excursionists went to Courtlnnd beach to
spend the day. A largo number of the vis
Itors were farmers nnd laboring men , bu
there wns a considerable representation o
men of business nnd professional appearance
Many of them brought their families nm
spent n very cnjoynble dny ntOmaha's
pleasure resort , where the brisk breeze fron
the lake tempered the heat to n degree o
comfort. The visitors seemed to be wel
pleased with the attractions of the tesort
but kicked with striking unanimity on the
10-rent fare from Locust street to the
beach.
The afternoon bnllogn ascension nl the
beach had to be dispensed with on account
of the high wind , which made It unsafe to
attempt nn ascension with the old balloon
now in use. The new balloon will arrive
today , however , and hereafter the ascensions
will take place ns advertised. TheLa Hose
brothers gave their usunl exhibition , which
wns well received , nnd the boating , music
nnd other regular attractions served to en
tertaln the visitors satisfactorily. The Union
Pacific trains left on the return trip at 8:20 :
last evening.
