SUPPLYING WATER OF LIFE
*
Modem Ohnrchea Do Not Give it in Ita
Original Parity ,
CONTAMINATED THROUGH MANY SOURCES
Her. Dr. Simmon * TlilnU * the Mnmlien
of SuperNtltlnn niul Pollution at
Crccil no Mucli to Mnke the
. Stream Unhealthy.
Her. H. M. Simmons of Minneapolis occu
pied the pulpit ot Unity church yesterday
morning and delivered a figurative discourse
I- on "The- Waters ot Lite. " It was based
- on the scriptural passage which narrates
the visit of the woman to the well by which
Jesus was sitting and the Interview on
what constitutes the true form of religion
which followed.
In the course of his sermon the minister
said : "Many streams that are perfectly
pure as they leave their headwaters become
polluted before reaching their outlets. So
wo see many good movements In society ,
In politics and oven In tbo church , started
with the purest motives , corrupted before
they have advanced very far. Many an
earnest movement In society Intended to
produce nothing but good results bos so
Increased that It has been used and abused
by selfish men to further their own Interests
and the good movement has lost all of Us
original purity. It Is the same In the po
litical world. A new party la started bj
a small band ot honest men with the no
blest motives , but as It grows It Is soon
found to bo controlled by a gang of poli
ticians who want offices for themselves and
their friends. . .
"Even In religious circles we find a sim
ilar pollution. The water of life Itself , In t
Rll Its purity , has been allowed to run
through the marshes of superstition and
through the polluting Influences of creed ,
of form and of sect has suffered stagnation.
This is so In both Catholic and Protestant
countries. It has lost Its clearness , so
that many people- refuse to drink of it In
the form'In which It Is offered. To Insls
then that the pure water ot llfo can
como only through the church Is wrong.
Ono who seeks to go back to the original
fountain head of the water of life , refusing
to take It In Its polluted form , Is to bo as
much commended ns he who seeks to obtain
his drinking water from a pure spring and
refuses the water that comes to him con
taminated through the city pipes. My own
sympathies are altogether with him who
Wants his water without any bacteria
In It
"Tho true water of life doesn't have to
bo pumped Up through the church. You
will notlco that Jesus spoke of the water
of llfo as springing up within the soul. In
the world there have been many mechanical
devices for pumping up water Invented and
I fear that our churches have been too
much Ilko a great ecclesiastical pumping sta
tion to draw up the water of llfo , delivering
It with threat leakage and with less ot the
pure water of llfo than Is to be desired.
The true water of llfo springs up naturally
within the Eoul. H docs not need any ar
tificial means to pump It up. It Is refresh
ing to tUrn to the example of Jesus and
find that ho describes the water of llfo as
something that springs up within the soul
of every believer. It comes from the dlvlna
springs of righteousness within the pure soiil ,
free from the pollution accumulate ] , through1
centuries ot superstition and pure as the
spring lUelf. " >
SOME : MANIFESTATIONS OF GQD.
Four fold Nature of the Father and
I" How He 1 * Exhibited.
The sermon of Rev. Frank N. Rlalo of
Cleveland , O. , who preached at the First
Presbyterian church yesterday morning , waste
to give a fourfold Idea of God , each phase.
In harmony with the others. The texi was
taken from Hebrews , Iv , 13. The fourfold
Idea whs : "God in naluro ; God In salva-
, "lion ; God In providence ; God In our personal
Ilf9. " "God in nature" ho called the "great
bass string. "
Pointing to the present tendency of the
age toward ' specialization in every direction
ho pleaded , In contradistinction , for a more
comprehensive view of God to begin with
a universal view. "Tho little child and the
venerable philosopher , " said he , "sit on the
same bench In the great school house of
God. " So he mode it plain that space , time
and matter are all manifestations of the
Deity. Ho also likened the llfo of a mortal
to a running of the gauntlet of nature's lows
pretty much as a captlvo Pacific , ielandci
was formerly made to run the gauntlet
< of Kanaka clubs. This rather homely 11'
* " lustration was more than compcnsatedfor by
a large number of apt anecdotes and figures
and pithy epigrams. Summing up the uni
versal Deity ho observed : "Call it what
you will , It is the Christian's God. " Then
bo moralized on the right and wrong of
human conduct and delarlng that God never
created a thing but Ho had a purpose In ,
It nnd that He wants men to bo at their
* best , he proceeded to explain the mystery of
salvation. For this ho used the Illustration
of electricity Its effects con be seen , but
the secret of H Is still hidden from the scientific 1-
1le
entific eye. On this point ho said : " le
effect ot the power of the story of is
Is to lift you up to the heart of God. isI
do not understand the hystcry of Jesus as
He comes Into the poor besotted sinner !
ot the gutter and makes him elng Ilko an
angel , but when you can show any other
power that can so transform and elevate
and beautify I am willing to throw this
away as I would a pebble for a diamond. "
"God In providence" was simplified to tbo
logical reason for a direction of things In
volved in creating them , and "God in per-
eonal llfo" afforded an opportunity to bring
the discourse to a happy finale of harmonized
deductions.

long been a friend of the regular pastor ot
the church. Her , 'B. M , Ware. Ho told the
congregation ho might preach a doctrinal
sermon , but the pastor of their church knew
better how to perform that work ; ho might
preach , on some of the great political prob
lems now confronting the people , but feared
ho would not do the subject Justice. Ho
would therefore como In the capacity of n
messenger , and try to bring peace of mind
and comfort to thosa wfio heard him , and
took for his text tbo proverb , "Doast not
thyself overmuch about tomorrow. "
"Many have great concern , " hs said , "and
trouble about tomorrow. They plan and
dream of affairs of come future day , nnd
burden themselves with cares for next week
and next year. They make the present day
miserable by vain premises for future days.
Today is the only tlmo we are sure of. Yes
terday is passed and tomorrow has not yet
como. This day Is ours and it Is enough.
Why make the burdens of this day heavier
by borrowing the troubles of some , future
day ?
"Tho secret of getting along well in llfo
and coming to a right end Is to llvn right
and well. Take llfo a day at a time nnd
leave tomorrow out of the question God
means that wo shall live well today and Ho
will care for tomorrow. Christ taught us
how to pray , 'Olvo us this day pur dally
bread. ' It has been well said : 'Do today's
duties , fight today's temptations and do
not distract yourselves about the cares and
troubles of the future. ' They best pro-
vldo for the future who best perform the
duties of today.
"Thousands fret and borrow trouble , never
remembering to live a day at a time. They
reach out into the future and draw unnec
essary burdens unto themselves. In the
summer they worry about the cold of the
coming winter nnd in the winter worry
about the heat ot the following summer.
Go about the things 'God brings to you to
day and you will be happy. Bo faithful
and true day by day and when the end of
life comes , you will say , with gladness of
heart nnd brightness of face , 'The Lord Is
my shepherd , I shall not want. ' Christ
wants us to do His will and do His work to
day. Do not think of tomorrow , but bo
faithful and patient today. If God gives
you a tomorrow , He will give you the wis
dom and strength to care for the worry and
burdens that come to you. "
MISSIONAHIES UPHOLD THE AVOHK.
Two You n K Men Eu Honte to China
Toll of Their ( Incut.
F. S. Brockman , a young Christian worker
now on his way to China as a missionary ,
addressed the Young Men's Christian as
sociation yesterday afternoon. His theme
was "The Young Men of the World. " "Thero
are several different ways in which wo
might look at this subject , ' * sold he. "Ono
IB the young men of Christian nations as
compared with these of heathen countries ,
Another the wicked and sinful youth of all
countries and the followers of Christ. In our
own country young men are surrounded with
temptations of which their fathcts knew
nothing. In cities like Omaha boys may
go to ruin and bo so far gene on the down
ward path that there Is no hope for them ,
sometimes without the knowledge ot their
parents , who have no suspicion ot evil. The
grog shops , the dancing halln and gam
bling dens with their doors thrown , wldo
open to 'entice our youth should make MB
shudder at the wiles of the evil one who
seeks to make us his own.
"But hero and In other countries Ilko our
own , young men can hear of Christ and have
religious Influences thrown around them ,
yet In such countries' China , India and
the Ilko thcro are 142,000.000 of young men
who never heard the name of Christ. These
young men are brought up with no homo
influences , where their mothers and sisters
and wives are considered little more than
aulmals , where they havti no bopo for the
future only that of death. It Is to these
young men that we should send mission
aries and give the word of God that they
may bo saved. "
Rov. Dr. Osgood preached yesterday mornIng -
Ing at the First Christian church at Capitol
tel avenue and Twentieth streets. Dr. Os
good Is a young man who la Just 'storting
out with his wlfo to bo a missionary to
China. His text was : "Thy Kingdom Come. "
Ho told of the great opening for Christian
work among the heathens of China and
how few there were io bring tbo glad tid
ings to these millions at present sunk so
low In ignorance and superstition , "Christ
has said unto us to go Into all the world
and save sinners , yet every year sees proba
bly ono or two men go while the others turn
their attention to the business or pleasures
of this llfo with never a thought for these
who have to llvo fn darkness. Several
years ago a missionary in Africa was com
pelled to leave because of sickness. His
converts gathered around him and begged
and entreated that ho return , or , it ho
could not , to send some one else , paying that
It ho did not they would return to their
former manner of living. This , mlssslonary
did not return , amd his substitute never
went. Thinkof the souls lost because of
the lack of good , hard workers in these
we can at least help with our mpney or In-
fluence to get others to bring the gospel to
these benighted notions. "
PAUI/S TRIUMPH OVER WORLD.
Great.ApoiMlc'H Clarion * SatUfnctlon
Offered UK n Good Kxninplc.
The pulpit ot Trinity cathedral was filled
last night by Rev. L. P. McDonald ot Council
Bluffs , assisted by Very Rev. Campbell
Fair , dean of the parish. The solo was by
Jules Lumbard , It was announced that be
ginning next week the usual Sunday after *
noon concerts will begin for the winter
season.
Mr. McDonald spoke of the triumphant ut-
toninco'of Paul as ho awaited certain death
in a Roman prison and compared his idea
of successful life , with that entertained aft
the present time. "Paul started In life , "
said Mr. McDonald , "under circumstances
that almost assured him success In any
worldly ambition. His parents were wealthy
and he grow up among cultured homo sur
roundings. Even wo democratic Americana
recognize the privilege ; ot high birth nnd
ttio advantage ot an unstinted training.
With all the good things ot llfo within
tbo reach of his band Paul separated him
self from his family and friends and forsook
seek worldly ambition to follow the foot
steps of a lowly Nazarene. As he waits bis
doom , an old and penniless man , his Hfo
looks to the word | like a failure , but as ho
writes to his young friend Timothy the
words , 'I have fought the flght , I have fin
ished the course , I have kept the faith , ' ho
is exulting In triumph. Instead ot feeling
that hla friend should avoid ha sacrifice he
urges him to follow the same course. "
The happiness of Paul at his life's end
was compared to the fruit ot other lives
which have sought for success as the world
sees It "The three things in life for which
men strive , " said -Mr. McDonald , "aro
wealth , power and fame , and for these many
are willing to yield up the sweetness ot
( heir lives. Wealth first of all Is the end
striven for by the human mind , and what
Is tbo satisfaction found in UT The records
ords ot the world fall to show that it brings
happiness and point out on tha other hand
that the responsibilities of It and the care
of its management bring worry and trouble.
Fume is a worthier object to strive for , and
power Is n thlrij ; that man find delight In ,
but what Is the power and fame of a worldly
llfo compared with that which came to Paul
and has clung to him through ( he ages ? "

BOHEMIAN TURNERS' ' TRIALS
Athlete * Oompoto in Tosta of Strength and
Skill for Supremacy.
OMAHA IN A CLASS ALL BY ITSELF
Otilr Tcnm In the Flrnt Dlvlnluit
Co men from Thin CHr , unt the
VlHltar * rut Up Good Work
In Second IMvUlon.
For nearly twelve hours yesterday from S
o'clock In the mornlng until 7 o'clock In
the evening some half n hundred Bohemian
athletes contested against each other In
games and exercises requiring brawn , musi
clo and skill at Turner park In the pres
ence and before the sight of 'thousands of
spectators of their own nativity.
These games and exercises constituted the
annual turnfcst of the western division ot
the Telocvlcna Jednota sokol , the national
Bohemian Turner society , which Is better
known In Ita abbreviated name ot Tel Jed
sokol. This western division takes In the
states of Iowa. Missouri , Kansas and Ne
braska and all these four states were repre
sented with a greater or less number ot
gymnasts and athletes.
The tournament was the feature of the
second day ot the Bohemian reunion. It woe
attended and enjoyed fully as much as the
rogram of Bohemian day on Saturday. All
he thousands of visitors to the cly { and
housands of resident Bohemians wended
heir way out to the park during the course
f the day and an Immense concourse of
icoplo was on hand by the middle of the
afternoon. Many were there all the day
nd made the affair a sort of an outing ,
or hundreds took their noonday lunch upon
he grounds. There were plenty of refresh
ment and lunch booths running all the
vlillc. A dancing platform was open to all
nd during the intervals between the games
his was packed with swirling couples. Jol-
Ity , good humor and enjoyment were the
marked features of the big crowd. Alto-
jethcr It was another great day for the
Johemtan Americans.
Athlctcx llc-Klii Work Early.
The first exercises of the turnfcst were
tartcd promptly at 8 o'clock In the morn-
ng and an excellent exhibition of gymnastic
work was given To the spectators from thnt
imo until the last exercise was gone
hrougb. Some of the work was of the fin-
ist , and hearty applause was the reward of
many of the athletes , which made them for
get the Itching of their skin under the blls-
erlng rays ot the sub. It was the only re
ward for the time being , for the awards of
the prizes will not be made until tonight ,
and until them it will not bo definitely
mown who the winners are , although fore
casts have already given the victory to cer
tain teams and Individuals.
The two divisions of the Bohemian gym
nasium were In competition. The first divi
sion includes only such athletes who have
attained a certain fixed degree of efficiency.
Omaha had the only team in the contests
in this class , but Cedar Rapids brought
forward a quartet to compete with them In
individual events. All the other teams .and
ndlvlduals competed In the second division.
Proficiency is the only dividing mark be
tween the two classes and consequently the
turners of both divisions competed in like
events. These Included work on the hori
zontal bar , parallel bars , the horse , both
lengthwise and from the side , polo vaulting ,
broad jump and high jump. On the bars
and the horse two 'Swing and "two muscle
exercises were called for from each com
petitor. In the team events the judges de
clared what exercises they wished , which
were unknown before to the competitors ;
in the individual contests the man was
allowed to perform his best trick.
The day's program was concluded with
exhibition mass drills. The entire bunch
of competitors In the turnfcst took part in
this drill , which was made up entirely of
calisthenics. They performed with great
rhythm nnd harmony , which fact reflected
no little credit upon the system in vogue ,
for it was the first tlmo that the young men
were together. At the conclusion of this
drill the local feminine auxiliary of the
turners also went throuch the exercises.
Their work was excellent and the sight of
the swaying blue uniformed bodies of the
young women athletes waa a decidedly at
tractive one.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
On September 9 the guarantee given by
the California Petroleum and Asphalt com
pany on the Twenty-fourth street paving
will expire. The city holds $9,000 In bonds
belonging to this company as n guarantee
that the pavement will be placed in first-
class condition at the tlmo the contract ex
pires. At the present tlmo the street la in
bad condition and It will have to be re
paired from ono end to the other before tbo
city will release the bonds held. Early In
the spring the street was repaired , but the
weather at that tlmo was not warm enough
for the successful laying of asphalt and
consequently . the new pavement laid did not
hold. In speaking about this matter yes
terday Mayor Ensor said that he would In-
slat that the street bo placed In first-class
condition before the guarantee of the com
pany was released. This means that all of
the holes and cracks In the pavement from
A to Q streets will have to be repaired. It
Is the Intention of the mayor to have the
city engineer personally supervise the mak
ing of these repairs as from this tlmo on the
city will have to pay for nil such.work. . .
With thorough work done next month on the
street , It Is thought that the pavement will
hold until next summer without any repairs.
Just what the city will do then about let
ting a contract for this work remains to be
seen.
The matter of releasing the guarantee Is
to be brought up at the meeting of the
council Thursday night , when orders for the
final repairs will mostjllkcly be issued.

current expenses from this tlmo until next

Hitllilliif ? New Slclewalltn.
Even with all of the work done this sum
mer on the sidewalks in different parts of
the city there Is much yet to be done- be
fore the walks will bo In a passable condi
tion. The greater portion of the work has
been done on the principal thoroughfares ,
leaving many of the side streets to take care
of themselves. Street Commissioner Ross'
force Is kept busy all of the time making
repairs , but still Iho walks seem to be In
bad condition nearly all of the time. Es
pecially is this true of walks In front of
vacant property. The city usually does this
work and charges the cost to the property
owner after serving the customary notice.
An Inspector of sidewalks would doubtless
save the city a great deal of money , as
damage claims are continually being pre
sented on account of injuries received
through defective walks.
Dldilerx Can Get No Detalla.
Several of the property owners who at
first Intended submitting bids for the pro
posed city hall building have announced
that owing to the present condition of affairs
they will not bother with the matter. No
ono seems able to inform the prospective .
bidders Just what Is wanted and for 41 1
reason tbo expense of fitting up suitable
apartments cannot be estimated. Bids for
sites are to bo opened by the council at the
meeting Thursday night and from present
indications it Is not thought that there will
be more than two or possibly three bidders
One thing only Is definitely stated to prop
erty owners intending to bid , and that Is
that the Jail must bo of brick , concrctet
throughout and separata from the office
building.
Snlnon Front Doorn.
Acting under tbo instructions of Mayor
Ensor the police yesterday morning served
notice on all liquor .dealers that the front
doors ot all saloons must bo kept closed
and locked all day Sunday. A similar or
der was Issued about a year ago , nnd was
obeyed for awhile , but the saloon keepers
became careless , and . 'for some time past the
front doors have beentopen the same as on
week days. The mayonsays that those prac
tice must stop , and in a printed notice he
threatens to prosecute any liquor dealer
who disobeys. The 'mayor holds that visit
ors hero will leavoi with a much better im
pression of the citycU the saloons are
closed than otherwise.

Awny with n Lamp , but Only
IIln Liberty.
Mickey Shea , described fa the rogues'
; allery as a "petty larceny thief , " was nr-
csted yesterday for the attempted theft ot
n ornamental lamp from Harry Ratch-
man , 715 South Sixteenth street. Shea
went Into Ratchraan's store with a compan-

rtlcles which ho mentioned. Shea- loitered
n another part ot tbo store , and when ho
upposed that the storekeeper's attention
vaa distracted ho seized the lamp and
ashed through Iho door. Ratchman , how-
very , was too observant to be thus bo-
ooled , and he passed out of the door about
wo seconds later. Shea waa burdened with
ho lamp and lost ground from the start.
Vlthln half a block ho was so hard pressed
hat ho was obliged to drop the lamp , and
t broke Into fragments. The sacrifice did
ot sovo him , however , and ho was ovcr-
muled by the storekeeper , who turned him
ver to a policeman for petty larccnyt The
amp was valued at $5.

FALL
ANNOUNCEMENTS
v.
No. 1.
The signature at the bottom of these I
remarks Las appeared in the papers of
Omaha every day in the year ( except
Sundays ) for the past twelve years.
During all of that time nobody has over
seen a false statement over it or a mis
leading statement or a questionable
statement , or a statement that we havent
backed up word for word and letter for
letter inside of our store. We are not
boasting of that. Wo simply call your
attention to it at this time because in connection
with our Fall offerings we have some pretty bold
statements to make some pretty strong statements ,
some statements that coming from other sources you
would be inclined to doubt. No room for doubt
here. Everything we promise we prove. The pre
vailing and pernicious practice of making exagger
ated statements in print finds no favor at The Ne
braska. We hold Truthfulness above all. Our
strongest asset is Reliability in word and deed. On
the occasion of this , our 26th season in Omaha and
our 13th opening of fall goods , we beg to renew the
assurance that whatever statements we make regard
ing them will be positively and literally true. Fall
hats on exhibition today. -
