NEW TESTAMENT PARADOXES
Ohrist'ti Life Paradoxical , Full of Surprises
and Strange and Surprising Things.
SO SAYS REV , WAGNER , D , D , , OFTOPEKA
Confcrrgntlnn of IConntrc Memorial
Lutheran Church In Much rirnnril
with the VlftllliiK Prrnolier'n
S n n ( I u MornliiK lllNcournc.
The congregation which assembled In the
Kountzo Memorial Lutheran church Sunday
morning was delighted with the thought
ful , earnest sermon preached by Hov. A. 1C ,
Wngner , D. . , of Topeka , Kan. Dr. Wag
ner chose for his text Mathew 10:39 : : "Ho
that flmlcth his life shall lose It , but he
that loscth his Ufa for my sake shall llnd
it again. "
Dr. Wagner said that the text sounded
paradoxical , but the New Testament was
filled 'With paradoxes. He thought often
that his text , however , was not as paradox
ical as the life of Christ Itself. His life
was full of surprises and of strange
and surprising things. His acts were
a contradiction often of prevailing cus
toms , nut the speaker said His charter -
tor was the most kingly of any with which
this world has had to do. lie held all do
minion , all power , and yet Ho was so ap
proachable that the leper of Palestine did
not hesitate to como to Him for relief. The
poor know Him to bo their friend and moth
ers looked to Him for encouragement In
tlmo of need. Yet with all this , Dr. Wagner
suld there was an accompaniment of such
power and dignity that the waves obeyed
Hln will and the grave gave up Its dead at
His command. With all His majesty rude
men nwaltud His birth , He learned His trade
at the carpcntcr'a bench , He lived us n
mendicant , was crucified on a cross belong
ing to another and found a resting place
in another's tomb.
Dr. Wagner said that no one In this
world had been treated so badly as Christ ,
yet Ho came to enow the world how God
loved It. Ho was crucified to show men's
hatred. Yet Ho prophesied , "If I bo lifted
up I will draw all men unto mo. " The
speaker urged Ho might as well have said ,
"Do your -worst , my love will prevail In
the end. "
Dr. Wagner spoke of the visit of Jesus
to the mountain top , when Moses and Ellas
appeared unto Him. At that time when
His crucifixion was referred to , His face
uhono ns the sun and His garments turned
white with living light , and yet so terrible
was the crucifixion In reality that the sun
turned dark and the earth trembled. At
His entrance to Jerusalem when His path
way was strewn with roses and palms , the
greatest ovation that has oven been tendered
any one , Christ wept by the roadside.
The speaker urged that In his text may bo
found the great law of Interdependence. It
was the law of getting aud giving closely
bound together. Ho referred to the exist
ence of the animal and vegetable kingdoms
as an example. Ono Is dependent upon the
other. The grain of wheat loses Its life
under the snow that It may multiply thirty
fold. If It Is placed In a granary It goes
to a mill , to bo ground Into flour. The
baker turns It Into bread and' the bread
furnishes strength for the arm which may
assist in conquering a world , or It adds
force to the brnln which may pen a national
law or solve a nation's most perplexing
problem. The world of today , ho urged , Is
indebted to the past , and yet the advance
ment of the past would amount to noth
ing were It not that the doors nt which
it knocked are being opened by the precept
through the advantage furnished by Its ex
perience. He referred to the homo where
the mother gives her life for her child that
she may find It again In the lovfng help
fulness afforded by the man. It was the
constant losing of one's llfo for another.
Dr. Wngner said a few years ago there
was great opposition to giving for for
eign missions , because It was argued that
If the heathen died In darkness God would
find some way to save them. Finally some
thinker evolved an answer to this sophistry
in the thought that the duty of the Chris
tian world was to bring light to the heathen
and that unless that duty were fulfilled
a great obstacle would exist In the way of
advancement. This thought removed oppo
sition to the evangelization of the heathen
and the Christian countries took up their
work cheerfully.
Story of the Two ItuhhlH.
Whlttler's beautiful story of the two rab
bis , Nathan and Don Isaac , was used as an
Illustration that each needs assistance.
When weary of the struggle Rabbi Nathan
went to Rabbi Den Isaac for aid and found
that Den Isaac was In as great need as ho.
Both knelt in prayer , each forgetting his
own troubles and praying for the other.
Whin they arose each read his own forgive
ness in the others countenance.
Dr. Wagnur said men must tmltnto Christ
before they can como Into a knowledge of
Him. Ho related the story of lha artist
who was required to paint a picture of the
Master for Easter. The artist represented
Christ bcforo His apostles , holding His
hands out and blessing them after the res
urrection. The artist completed the picture
except for the hands. Ho could form no
satisfactory idea of what these should belike
like and for days spent his time In visit
ing homes , where ha examined the help
ful hands of mothers , hospitals , where the
tender hands of nurses were scanned closely ,
nnd looked upon the muscular hands of men
In everyday life without success. Ho ob
tained eomo conception of what they should
be like from the death of a , llttlo girl In a
hospital on Easter morning. The favorite
Htory of the sick child was that In which
Christ said unto the maiden : "Damsel , I
say unto thee , arise. " The artist saw the
child dto and It seemed to him that the
hands of Christ were stretched down to
her. On his way home ho was Injured In
trying to save some women from being
killed by n runaway team. Ills own hands
were lacerated and torn before the fright
ened horses wore stopped. When ho recov
ered ha added the hands to the picture ,
Ills knowledge of suffering for others hav
ing enabled him to form a satisfactory
conception of what Christ's hands were like.
So the speaker said that men must help
each other and that the text was meant to
teach each that ho could not live alone ;
ho must como In touch with his fellow man
ivhom ho must assist and by whom ho
must bo aided.

While Christ originally laid this great
task of dlsclpllng the world upon cloven
men , urged the speaker , Ho saw In them
the representatives of all the disciples who
wore to come during tbo subsequent years
that have since followed. The purpose of
Christ nt that tlmo wag to form nn electric
current around the world , carrying messages
of love to the remotest parts , sending the
gospel out to alt nations standing In need
of the Divine word.
Speaking of the churches of the present
ago , Ilev. Herring declared that they are
all striving to nttaln one end that of limit
ing men better nnd leading them In the
paths of righteousness. All churches now ,
ho said , nro striving to reach the same
goal that of spreading the gcnpcl through
out the world nnd teaching the word of
Christ.
Referring to the beliefs nnd doctrines
that prevailed centuries ngo and that still
prevail among people of heathen lands , the
speaker designated them ns simply chang
ing from ono form of Ignorance to another.

lU-lnif l CiiiiNlnntly Improving.
Ilev. Newton M. Mann had arranged to
repent nt Unity church yesterday his set--
man on "Eutyctuis , the First Recorded In-
tnnco of Sleeping In Church , " which
arotiscd so much favornblo comment a few
weeks ago. But ns the storm limited the
ongregatlon to very small proportions , this
ubject was postponed for ono week nnd
ho theme , " 18 This a Lost World ? " was
ubstltuted.
In the course of his remarks Hov. Mann
Icpartcd to some extent from the doctrinal
Ines laid down by the severely orthodox.
lo denied that such n thing ns n perfect.
man had over existed , oven In the Garden
of Bdcn , nnd took the positive ground that
humanity , as It now exists , la the result
of n regular evolution In which the charac-
er of the species Is constantly Improving.
The speaker said the question that
onstltutcd his Uicmc Is commonly asked
nnd very frequently answered In the afllrm-
ntlvo In cortaln quarters. Familiarity , rs-
abllshcd by thorough and persistent Invcs-
Igatlon , prevents us from being startled by
ho strangeness of the proposition. The nl-
cged fall in the Garden of IMcn has beeti
given prodigious force by speakers and
writers all through the Intervening centu
ries. Some assert that the mischief caused
> y this occurrence rencUcs from the center
o the circumference of the globe nnd ap
plies alike to things human and material.
iTallco crept Into the soli nnd flauntcc
tself In briers nnd thistles nnd the enttro
earth was cursed by human sin.
HeV. Mann then proceeded to show thai
his theory Is contrary to every principle
of science nnd common sense. So far nave
vo can ascertain , this "sin-cursed" world
3 as good as tfae other worlds that are reg
ulated by the same natural laws. All are
composed of tbo same material and have
passed , or are destined to pass , through thu
samb stages of development.
Referring to another frequently exploited
theory that eln entered into human life
alone , the speaker declared that it Is Just
ns melancholy as the other. If man Is lost
: ho world might just as well bo lost with
"
lim. Of what avail Is this solf-rcgulatlng
power that exists even In the dust of the
earth If the greatest creature of all is
wlthqut the power to direct himself aright ?
Thcro is no cscapo from the conclusion that
this Is God's world , that God made every
generation of men from the beginning. This
decs not mean that Ho created man In n
state of perfection. Wo 'havo learned that
all development Is by evolution and evolu
tion precluded the Idea that there was nt
any tlmo a perfect creature. God is sfllt
working on mankind ns the Greek artist
worked through all his lifetime on a slnglo
stntuo. He was never moro active on this
globe than now. When wo realize how
mucli energy has been expended In this
world nnd how far It still remains from
perfection wo must conclude that It was or
iginally a very crude creation. It Is not
surprising that the moral development has
not reached the same advanced stage as ltd
material development. For wlillo ono has
been going on for countless ages , the other
dates only from the .human period , which
Is comparatively of recent date.
A pleasant feature of tbo services nt
Unity church was a magnificent collection
of flowers and hothouse plants , the gift of
Mrs. George A. Joslyn , which entirely Illled
the chancel.

Last night at the Seward Street Methodist
Episcopal church the pastor , Rov. A. C.
Welch , began a series of sermons on Chris
tian Manhood , the first of the series being
"Christian Manhood In the School. " The
church was comfortably filled and the chan
cel appropriately decorated for the occa
sion.
sion.Tho
The speaker 'began ' with a definition of
the general subject , which ho asserted was
the sincere endeavor of every true Chris
tian to Itnltnto the llfo of his Master and
Savior. To attain the degree of perfection
In llfo which Christ attained Is not within
the range of human possibility , but everyone
ono , high or low , rich or poor , saint or
Llnncr , may Improve his mode of living an'l
BO conduct himself that his lifo will bo
pleasing In the sight of God. Then thu
relation of Christian manhood to the school
llfo of the boy and girl of today was
traced.
" " said the "reveals
"Every boy , speaker ,
the man In htm , As the 'boy ' Is so will bo
the man , The school llfo of the child , there
fore , may bo taken ns Indicative of the future -
turo of the man. It Is n prophecy of the
future and If observed that future may bo
road. If tha boy Is slow of mind , dull ot
brain , unambitious and Indolent the man
will never bo a success In the world. II
the boy Is bright , eager to learn , loving
knowledge for Us own sake and the power
It elves him , continually striving to excel
In the things ho undertakes , you may proph
esy for him not a llfo of success necessarily
but ono of usefulness and constant strugglu
to reach greater heights on the world's
ladder.
"Considering these things , the Importance
of the school of llfo Is readily observable.
It Is the tlmo when the foundation Is laic
upon which the entire suporstiucturo must
rest. It Is not to bo given up or passed by
lightly. It Is a tlmo of great responsi
bility to parents and those having the
child In charge. It Is the tlmo when the
true spirit of Christian manliness EbouK
be Instilled. It 1s the tlmo when tha boy
must learn to say ' .S'o , ' when It Is uoccssar }
for his eako nnd stand by his refusal.
"Thero nro , my brethren , too many false
codes of manliness In the boy world today
These codes now In vogue appeal to the
selfish and meaner sldo of boy nature. The )
must bo eradicated. The boy must bo
taught a better and a higher Interpretation
of the meaning of manllnoes. Ho must be
taught that the llfo of Christ is the only
standard by which ho must govern himself
and that In as far as ho departs from thai
standard just In so far Is ho departing from
the llfo of true manliness and Christian
virtue. The moro closely ho follows tbo
llfo of bis Savior the greater will bo his re
gard at that tlmo when the Lord of Hosts
shall greet him with that much sought f l-
utntlon , 'Well done , than good nnd faithful

"Thou Ednlt Not Steal" was the subject of
: ho sermon prtviched yesterday morning at
i'Mgrlm Congregational church by the pas
tor , Rev. F. I ) . Jackson. Ho said that In
previous ecrmons ho had spoken of safe
guarding the spiritual llfo nnd the home ,
nhllo the eighth commandment had In view
the safeguarding of property. He thought If
nnyono was to bring 'tho truth ot this lesson
the hearts of the people U muwt bo the
3hriatlau church , for It must speak the
truths of God to the world In no uncertain
sound. The minister 'then proceeded to ex-
ilaln 4ho right of property. He said prop
erty came to these who created something ,
n earlier times tbo nian'fi property was what
10 made , but In modern times In the exchange -
change of labor his creations were BUbstl-
uted for other values In that ho was paid for
its toll.
"Holding property Is a dlvlno right , " said
.ho minister , "or God would not have thrown
around It the safeguard of this command
ment. The owning of property makes It
losslblo for ono to cultivate the spirit of
generosity. It teaches the principle of
; uardlng and protecting one's own holdings
n-j well as the hoMlngs of others , and In
stills eihcrgy In earning nnd accumulating.
The sentiment Is growing In favor ot In
dividual ownership , as ag.itn&t the owner
ship of largo properties by n. tow. It Is not
.ho ownership of property about which there
s so much complaint ns It Is the wasto-
'ulnrtia and extravagance of these with
nrgo holdings. Property is misused by se > l-
Ishness nnd liixurlousncss. Men do not live
'or ' themsch'cs. Property Is held In trust
jotwcen man nnd man. Men have no right
; o take from each other , but 'each Is n. trus-
.eo of his holdings for the common good.
"Tho eighth commandment may be broken
without the robbing of a till the picking of
n pocket or the forging of a note. Ono way
of breaking the commandment Is In the un-
! olr distribution of the rights and fruits of
abor. Instead of men being Compelled to
work for u pittance that others may llvo In
uxury they should have work because that
s their privilege nnd 'they ' should have a
liberal allowance for their toll. There Is n
wholesome lesson In the Injunction that a
nan who does not work shall not cat , and
It will bo moro fully Illustrated during the
coming century. Unless man labors with his
land or brain ho shall not eat. The most
dangerous class of society Is not the unem
ployed who migrate from ono section of the
country to nn other , but It Is the 1dlo rich ,
lie who gives nothing of the strength of his
body or brain Is n parasite upon tbo In
dustry of others. Ho who lives on the world
and out of the world , getting nil and giving
nothing , Is virtually stealing from the rest
of humanity. There is not ono conscience-
tor the store and another for the church ;
IhcTo Is not ono conscience for the market
place and another for the home. "

"Life's disappointments und trying or
deals are good for us ; they are a necessary
part of our discipline ; they teach us that
God Is the source of all our comfort and
happiness , " declared Rov. Alexander Gll-
chrlst In n sermon preached yesterday
morning' before his congregation at the
Central United Presbyterian church.
The theme of the sermon was , "DItter
Waters Sweetened , " and the text was taken
from Exodus , 15:25 : , "And the Lord showed
him a tree which when ho had cast into
the waters , the waters were made sweet. "
In part Rov. Mr. Gilchrlst's words were :
"The children of Israel were not done
with hardships and difficulties when they
escaped from the cruel bondage of Egypt.
The strains of their triumphant song on
the farther sldo of the Red sea had scarcely
died away when tbo voice of complaint and
distress was heard among them. Three
days' Journey Into the wilderness brought
thorn to the bitter waters of Marnh. Fam
ishing with thirst , unable to drink from the
bitter fountain , disappointed aud disheart
ened , they began to murmur and complain.
It Is the story ot human life. Each ono
of us knows what It Is to conic to Marah's
bitter valors.
"After the toil and drudgery of the
years of preparation for the work of life
the youth Imagines that ho Is mostly done
with real difficulties. But after ho has begun -
gun the task he docs not go far till ho
meets with bitter disappointment. In every
enterprise in which man engages the same
Is true. Even the Son of God had to drink
the cup of bitterness. Directly nnd una
voidably In His way lay the agony of
Gethsemano and the anguish of the cross.
"This thing Is as true In national and
ecclesiastical history as In Individual llfo.
Through the conturles the church has been
compelled to drink the bitter cup of hauled
effort nnd fierce persecution. As It has
often done aforetime , so Just now our own
nation is passing through the trying nnd
awful experience of war bow ibltter , lot
fathers and mothers tell whoso bravo boys
are facing the bullets of the enemy and all
tbo perils of warfare.
"But there Is a healing trco hard by the
sldo of life's ibltter springs. By dlvlno di
rection Moses found it for the distressed
wanderers In the wilderness and when lie
had cast It Into the waters they became
sweet. Tbo same volco that spoke to
Israel's leader will direct us to the cure
for our trouble. That Is our comfort. God
Is In the world and always with Ills people
to relieve them from their distress. Someone
ono may afak , Why wo must have disap
pointments why these trying ordeals of
llfo ? Let dlvlno wisdom nnswcr. They are
best for us. TheV nro a necessary part of
our discipline. They work In us a deeper
nnd broader sympathy , teach us our dependence -
once upon God and drlvo us to Him as tbo
source of all our comfort and happiness.
"Tho healing power of God's word needs
to bo cast Into the waters of our political
llfo , which are so bitter to the pure moral
taste , Surely the corruption so manifest In
national , state and municipal government
calls for some reforming nnd purifying
agency. Wo need men In office who spurn
bribes and who will bo faithful to sacred
trusts. The vices In our social llfo In both
the hlRher and thn lower gradw demand a
remedy. The fraud and oppression In our
commercial llfo , by seller nnd buyer , em
ployer and employed , need correction. The
henllng nnd correcting vlrtuo of divine truth
needs to he cast Into tbeso foul nnd bitter
waters. Nothing else will change them nnd
make them sweet. "

UvVyrntry MOI-KIIII Snj Tlilx Story
In Sjiuliollo of All Humanity.
On account of the weather only n small
congregation attended the morning services
of tbo First Baptist church yesterday , but
this very fact became the occasion for a
bit of self-congratulation among those who
wore present. It was announced that never
In Us previous hlfHory lias the church en
joyed such nn era of prosperity a * during
the last few months. The attendances nt
all the cervices ha e been largo and the col
lodions and donations without any special
solicitation have been ample for nil purpose *
At the morning service yesterday the
pastor of the church , Ilev. Vyrnwy Morgan ,
found the text of his flcrmon In the parable
of the prodigal son. Ho declared that this
story Is symbolic ot nil humanity. Doth the
two sons In the parable , the picachor said ,
are typical of clauses that now live In tlio
world , and ono example Is to bo avoided as
much na the ether the lad who spent his
substance In riotous living , nnd bis brother ,
who waa so "mechanically consistent" that
he could not rejoice In the return of the
prodigal.
In analyzing the character of the prodigal ,
Rov. Morgan declared that tnhorltanco Is
responsible for mnuy trnlta In Individuals ,
but that all things cannot bo Inherited ,
among them learning and morality. Thus It
IB that many young men of today will
leave Christian homes to purchase happiness
far nway from thceo homes just as the
prodigal did. They waste their talents and
( 'pond their substance nnd they find many
men nnd women who will try to sell them
unhapplncss nt this price. It they succeed
In biding their crimes they will bo consid
ered smart men ; It they are detected , they
are fools.
But while the prodigal of the Bible , as
well as the youth of today , left hla homo
because ho did .not know his parents or
the true purpose of life , Rov. Morgan de
clared that his brother was von further
from this knowledge though ho remained
dutifully at home , was Industrious nnd
frugal , and avoided the excesses of which
his younger 'brother ' had been guilty. This
was Indicated by his anger over the rejoic
ing of his parent at the return of the
prodigal his Indignation that the prodigal
should bo given moro of the substance of
the family after ho had epont his share.
Rov. Morgan declared that there are many
people In this world as "pedantically con
sistent" ns the prodigal's brother. They nro
perfectly orthodox In their faith , perhaps ,
but they are sadly heterodox In their prac
tice. They cannot see that there Is some
good even In the worst of men. And the
preacher urged upon his listeners that they
should beware ns much of this "mechanical
Inconsistency" as of wasting their talents ,
sowing upon bad ground , and living upon
their capital.
In conclusion the preacher admitted that
while there are multitudes following the
examples of these two brothers in tha
world , yet ho asserted that the world Is be'
coming better and Is gradually approaching
a truer conception of a Christian life.

"Tho Moth nnd the Frame , " to l > o seen at

evening of this week , Is one of the strong
est plays seen for many a day. Had the
pleco been written by some modern French
dramatist and presented at a Paris theater
It would bo balled there as a masterpiece
nnd have boon immediately "adapted" for
the American stage. In the first place It is
loslcally , If daringly , constructed ; It pict
ures fashionable society In the most brilliant
comedy colors , but a strain of tragedy un
derlies the current of every human life. So
It breaks into the light of this play , throwIng -
Ing a shadow as deep as fate upon the
Bocno. The dialogue Is crisp and witty ,
often cynical and yet ringing truo. Hoyt's

Ho wanted off and seeing that the train
was not going to stop ho reached angrily

made the engineer think something had

train. Not waiting for the train to comate
to n standstill the "Judge" went out on
the platform and took n llytng leap , which
resembled that of a frightened bullfrog as
It dives Into a puddle of water. Ho did
not land with the grace and effectiveness
of the frog , however , because of the somer
saults ho made In whirling through the
iiIr. His silk hat was a wreck , his collar
disfigured and his fuco bore several abra
sions as an evidence of how hard ho
landed.
This , however , was not the "Judge's"
latest experience. The latter part of the
week , while purchasing some gasoline nt a
store on South Tenth street a collector en
tered and presented him a bill. It was
not paid and a light followed. The "Judge"
was dragged Into n rear room , where an
orange box was used on his head. When
ho emerged his face looked very much like
that of nn Indian besmeared with war paint ,
the difference being that the "Judge's" col
oring was duo to his own blood. Ho filed
a complaint against F. C. Smith In Justice
Baldwin's court , charging him with assault
and battery , particular stress being laid
upon the battery portion.
