Quito nil the churches In Omaha hnd a
Christmas color yesterday , and In many or
them the dEcorations * In honor or tim restfval
or the nativity were elaborate and beautiful
Special musical servIces were general , and
the nnthems allll carols were so full or joy
and so full or heart that one might almost
Irnaglno that he was listening to the chorus :
or angels whoso celestial symphony caught
the care and thrllled the souls or tim shepherds ) -
herds on the hills or Judea on the first Christmas -
Inns morning
The scrmons preached not Jesus dcad , but
Jesus born. The shadow or tim cross was
not seen , but Chrlstenllom with ono accord I
joined the cavalcade or the wise men alHl I
- went to look Into lie ( manger craillo at Belh-
lhein I . At the Ioltntze Melubrial I.ltthernn I
church He" A. J. Turkic spolte In part as
follow :
The divine birth In Bethlehem will never
cease to be n lIubJecl or wonder and joy to I
mankind. Il Is more worthy to bo commem-
orated by song ! and ! sacred festivity than the
greatest victory ever achieved In war , or the
grandest triumph ever recorded In the history :
or nations The blaze or IIIhl that shene
'round the shepherds or the Judean hlllsllles
shall brighten with the ages or the future ,
until Il shines lit nil the dark Illaces ! or the
world. The slllrit or Christmas will sllread 'I
until Il encompasss the whole eirth It I 'IS
the best and b"rlehtest or the year No other
day comes to us laden with lesson so well I
worth learning. No other shInes with a hope
so upllrtlng No other means as much that
makes life worth living. No other Imparts :
such a dignity to human
destiny. In this age
01 ours , when on all sides there Is haste to get
rIches , haste to get honor , haste to clevate
self , Il Is of Inllnlto value that a day should be
Bet apart and hailed as tIm crown or the
Year , whose central teaching Is that glvlnl : (
Is 1II0ro blessed than getting. The wheels of
business and human activity move to the
cry , "Look out for number "
one But on
Christmas day the golden rule asserts itself : ,
and amid Its many cheery voices rings an :
undertone uttering the celestial Paradox : "II 0
that loses his lire shall find It. "
, That there Is
a tendency to secularize
ChrIstmas In the mode of Its observance , Is I
no doubt plalll to all. On the other hand I ,
there Is cause no less evident for rejoicing
In the fact that , ns Christian festival ] , a '
home day and a church lay , the blrthcJa ) : '
of our blessed Lord Is wIdely observecJ I it
Is true , too , that the very secularIzing ten
dencies have had the effect or bringing more
and more Into prominence lie ( proper celebration -
bration or thIs day of days. And there Is I
rio reason to believe that the reilglous lervor
will ever be eliminated from thIs sacred
festival , More churches than ever before
commemorate the sacred event. There was
a time when austere and bigoted purItans
set theIr faces sternly against ChrIstmas is
But these prejudices have been gradually
overcome , and the festival year by year Is I
more generally celebrated In churches or all
( denominations Christmas
sermons
arc
heard In Congregational pulpits ; Christmas I ,
' carols arc sung In Methodist churches ;
Christmas servIces are followed In Presbyterian ; :
byterian Sunday schools and tile day Is not
far distant , wo apprehend , In which worshiping -
shiping Christendom will Observe Christmas'
: , wIth special and appropriate services
Certainly no other Is so worthy or this I
worlcJ-wlde homage The good and great I
have lived In every generation , But lIe
. - who was born at Bethlehem Is the noblesl :
p.- fruit of the : great tree or humanity. Mankind -
kind has produced many men dlstlnculshed
In various departments of activity or knowledge -
c edge , who have been or great benefit to I
their lellov/1 In a thousand ways and dire : : .c
tlons : but there has been none among them :
whom wo salute with the name 01 Chris ,
and adore as our SavIor Every other hero
, has something In him that curtails our regard -
gard and In a manner diminIshes our re- :
spect. Sin , selllshnes or ambItion prevent :
t even the noblest 01 men from becoming
' perfect heroes anti helpers or their fellow ,
' There has been but One who has been able ;
to stand before his : enemies and In the race
or history , challenge the world with :
the words : "Who Is It that eonvlnceth
me ot sin ? " Modern research : has examined
the mosl' minute details 01 His lire and deeds
} and words , and before Its keen bar lie can
still stand and repeat Ills challenge Even :
the all.seelng eye or God detects na fiaw I
r or spot In Him , but sOlemnly declares that :
with ! 11Im the Father Is well pleased. Titer e- I
lore , lie Is the : One through whom alone :
mankind can attain Its highest Ideal , that :
or being pleasing In the sight or God.
Ho does nol b long to any single people ,
but to all mankind While lie was born I
I\ Jew , yet ' we never think or him as sue h.
'Vo do not think 01 him as a Scotchman or
German or American : or as or any Ilartlcular
. nationality. AIm rlcans make \Vashlngton :
; their hero : France , Napoleon ; Englanll , WellIngton -
Ington : but no nation can make Christ Its I
hero to the exclusion or tho' rest lie belongs -
longs to humanity lie Is the Savior , or
all men "Unto you" means each one who i
appropriates these blessed words to liitnse hr.
" 'fo you" a SavIor Is born this day You : who
are In poor and humble clrcnmstances. You ,
who have trIals and temptations ; you , who
t are In the shackles 01 sin : you , who labor
t and are heavy laden , to all come tIm tidings
, , 01 great joy. Although the One born In
f Bethlehem has come for the whole world ,
: although Ills work Includes heaven and :
f earth , yet Ito has n heart for the Inflect : : : tat
r longings or our souls ; for each Individual :
lie Is a Savior '
When Christ was born on that first :
Christmas morning lie began to live a real
- human lire. H was God manll'st In the
l1esh. 0011 sent His only begotten Son Into
Is the world. " But It was nol the divine in : La-
f Iluerading In aham humanity ; 110 was not
making believe to live the lire or a man , It
was a real Incarnation. lie did not como
( to earth each day and bring Ills lunch amI
a go back at night. True , there Is
. a deep mystery clustering around the I
Incarnation hut there Is mystery ala ) ut
p. the color or a roso. Light till : "Sllace , It
t wraps systems and constellations In splendor , ,
' It Is a IUllllnous ocean In which worlds
'L . lIall. And yet light COllies : Into a. little room
* In your house and searches out a tiny
r flower , which : coulll not by searching fillll
e the light , and mnkM It more beautiful than
anything man : eVer made. The mystery In
one case Is as great as In the other When
L you tell mo how the light which Ilalpitates t
from the sun Ilalnts the color or that single
rose , I will tell you how : God , who Is everywhere : -
where , comes Into one man and so truly hI yes
In him that It Is right to Bay that when
wo see him we sea God , With all iLa in y-
tory the Incarnation Is a bleuell girt. What
Is It that mnkes the ( Lord Jesus dear to
us today ? What : Is It that makes us never
tired of hearing that old story or wailing
: shepherds , and kneeling wlso men , or the
rough manger ? It I I. i that very pert oct

And Into the chili or despair does the hope-

People with frosted hopes , and blasted aspirations -

to the days that are clouded with sickness :
that can bring warmth to the days that are
chilling with disappointment : that can shiM I

are overCast with berea\'ement and somber :

What : we need III the world today Is the i

of tIm Sftnttlon Arm , . .
Captain Blanch Dna ; formerly private secretary -
ret ary to Mrs. General Broth , and more or
les s Intimately associated with Ihe ( members
of the ( Dooth flUlllly In SalvatIon ' army :
work , Is In Omaha for the purpose of holtl-
Ing several meetlnS $ , more particularly
In the ( interest , .or the work among
the submerged 'classes. She Is accompanied -
companied by Captain lIarmon , and both
or the young ladles are stoppIng at the Sal-
"allon army barracks on Davenport street.
This Is their second tour or the AmerIcan
continent inside or three Years , and theIr
sec end visit to Omaha Captain Cox related
lIIany Inelllents In connection with her mission -
sion In America. last evening to IDee reporter -
porter , and gave an eutllno or some or the
plans In contemplation for the work In
Omaha In the ( near future.
"Salvlltlon arlllY : work Is no mere novelty
to Ihe , " salt ! Miss : Cox. "I was practically
born and nurtured : In I : the army I was for
se\'eral years private secretary to Irs. General -
era l Booth , and have been connected : will :
thal lallllly through Its different members
for n great many ) 'ears , I always lived In
Lonllon until the work I have been especially -
pecially engaged In called \ wu to this country.
I hnve lIIade my home In the United States
for the past three ) 'ears , and while m } ' head-
quarters arc SUPll0el ! to be In New \ ' York ]
Ci ty . I spend ! my whole time In traveling
reth rough the country. I hare been through :
to thin Pacific coast twice , being now on
lilY return Irom the second tottr
"My work Is more especially In connection
with the support or the rescue homes. : Il
Is for thIs branch or the Salvation army
worlt that I am collecting runds : : , anti as far
as practicable the funds : that 1 am rortunate
enough to collect are eXllended In the state
In which they are contrIbuted. We are en-
deavorlng to establish re cue homes : In all
the larger cIties 01 the countr '
country. Wo nl-
ready ha\'e two In New York City , one In
Boston and one In Cleveland 'Ve have none :
rurther wesl than Cleveland , but are about
to establish one In Chicago 'Vo hope next
to have one : : at St. Louis , and will follow
with one at Omaha , and then one In San
I.'ranclseo : , We find It difficult 10 secure the
runds : necessary to establish : these rescue
missIons , After they arc once established
we mate ] them sehf.stllporting. The one
great difficulty Is In securing the lease on
( li e bulldlogs. People claim that lie rescue I
homo deteriorates the value or the property
In its IlIImedlato neighborhood , antI for this :
reason we arc cOlllllelled : to lease buildings
lor but a single year at a time
"Our work In these reseuo homes Is Intensely -
tensely practical We take the vagrant out
of the streets and saloons , provide him first
with clean clothing and then : keep him clean ,
We next see thal ho Is fed Our experIence
ha s taught us that salvation cannot compete
with hunger. After the man Is clothed ami :
led wo give hllll employment , and then we
off er him salvation , Dul you will notice that
In our rescue homo : curriculum soap comes
fir st , then soup and then salvation These
three words contain ! the whole plan or the
Sal\'atlon : army work.
"Our work among , the fallen gIrls Is car-
rIed on along the same lines. Why , In one
of our homes a short lime since we took In
a woman who had nol had a bath for
twenty years We strive to divert these unfortunate -
fortunate girls , to give them congenial em-
ploymcnt by which they can earn money , and
to take their n1111ds from their former asso-
cIations , We are anxious to establish a home
fo r these girls al some point farther west
than Cleveland Why , since I have arrived
hero Ensign Reed informed me that a few
weelts ago Il was , found necessary to send
one 01 these unfortunates clear to Cleveland
In order to place her In the home , wherc she
could forget her former lICe "
Captain Cox wll1.speak : thIs evening III the
Salvation army barracks on Davenport street
on "Soap Soup and Salvation " Christmas
she will hold two : ervlces ! , speaking al 11
clock : on "Dltthday-'GHts ( for the ChrIst , "
and on' Chrlstmn ' .nlght : on "No Room for
