Rev. W. 11. Scuddcr of Tacoma , Wash. ,
preached Sunday morning at St. Mary's
Avenue Congregational church. Ho took for
his text " 0 the depth of the riches both of
the wisdom and the knowledge of Godl How
unsearchable are His Judgments and His
wtys past finding out. " Rom. xl. , 33.
The sseakcr s.ild that the text was the
doxology of the context ; the exclamation of
the apostle as ho looked upon the fact that
the Jews hnd rejected the Messiah. They
had been prepared through all the ages for
Illm , but wore unable to grasp Jesus Christ
as the lone promised and long loooked for
savior of the race.
The npostlo exclaimed In the words of the
text as he contemplated a wider vision that
stretched before htm down through the ages.
Although the rejection of Jesus Christ locked
the doors of salvation to the Jews , It opened
up the avenues to the world of gentiles with
out and down the future he could see count
less multitudes seeking salvation through the
Messiah.
'Man ' Is merged In mystery. Ho Is en
shrouded In shadows. From time to time
ho Is able to relegate them ft little to the
past , yet out beyond his little circle of light
the shadows still He. Nature Itself Is a
mystery and man walks shrouded In mys
tery. The electric car carries a person hero
and there , but no man can explain Just how
the power works to propel. Light Is n com
mon thing , and yet no man can tell what It
Is can explain what It Is. We of today have
broadened out a little , yet the fact remains
that beyond our widened circumference
mystery still prevails. Men listen at the
lips of nature and she reveals a little ,
enoujrh to lure them on and on and yet
she withholds much.
The course of human events Is mystery.
The origin of the race ; the origin of speech.
The origin of nations Is shrouded In mystery.
They como nnd vanish and -wo do not know
the reason why. Wo boast of evolution , but
evolution Is a mystery. Wo do not under
stand It. Evolution Is but the term for a
process ; the thing itself is a mystery. Wo
see the water gush forth , but the springs
are hidden down deep and wo cannot fathom
thorn. '
Human life Is a mystery. The most mys
terious thing In all the universe Is the spirit
of man. How It Inhabits all the cells of this
corporeal body nnd controls It Is a profound
enigma. Our birth Is a mystery. Why we
should have been born here In this country
Instead of in some other land ; why we
should have been born to prosperity Instead
of squalor and wretchedness ; why some are
allowed to live and others are snatched away
In the fullness of life these all ore mys
teries.
Death is a mystery. We all come some
day nnd lift our eyes heavenward to cry out
"Why ? " tout ( "here is no answering echo.
The-skies are brazen. There Is no answer ,
the background of all the world Is ono great
mystery.
But after -wo have said all this , there Is
no satisfaction. The hottest battles being
waged today are In t-ylng to solve these
mysteries. False views of life nre prev
alent and men are floundering , the ag
nostic comes and leads us out Just where
the darkness comes In contact with the light ,
but no further. Agnosticism leaves us
floundering.
False philosophy leads men into all manner
of flln and evil. They search out certain
beliefs that allow them to pamper their be-
eettlqg sine and rest easy. Materialism also
prevails , but If man Is simply material , then
there can bo no right or wrong , he Is simply
a machine and ho must do what ho does , re
gardless of anything.
The bible comes in hero with Its ennobling
thought. It recognizes the soul of man. It
states that he was created In the imago of
GoJ. ( , Back of all the mystery Is God. He
solves all theperplexities. . God's flnger Is
traceable down through all the centuries.
Men may have striven to carry out their
own little schemes , yet God's great pattern
has been worked out by them. All wo need
la God back of all the mysteries. We want
something to stand upon. When we know
that back of the loom sits ono who guides
the threads aright nndiWorks out the pattern
wo feel safe. Ho is not working haphazard
but after a plan wo may not bo able to see.
Wo are creatures of hope. Wo live In the
future. God gives us hope. Wo are crea
tures of affection. God Is lovcv We need
Him , for Ho fllls the cravings of our hearts
and ho solves the riddles that perplex us on
ovcry side.

the Klr t Citune.
Dean Fair preached Sunday morning at
Trinity cathedral on the meaning of the In
cident of the Transfiguration In Christ's life.
Ho prefaced his analysts of the causes for
It by referring to the universal desire among
all Christians to understand fully the sig
nificance of the scene , which Is regarded
os ono of the very important ones of the
Savior's life.
The most Important reason the pastor ad
vanced was n yearning within Christ for the
higher and purer llfo from which He had
como nnd to which Ho longed to return , even
for a moment , during Ills earthly sojourn.
Therefore , ho prayed to God for that glory
which Ho know when Ho dwelt with Him In
heaven , before the earth was. The world Ho
was living in was full of corruption. De-
fore , behind , and on every side of Him , wher
ever Ho might look , ho could behold nothing
but wickedness. Hero was ono whoso heart
was right , whoso llfo had all been correct ,
whoso soul was all purity. No wonder then

Wo-wlll toll you what will cure the worst
Itlnd of a cnsu ot backache caused from ( ho

refer you to people In all walks of life In
the city ot Omaha who have used Kid-no-

read this statement from Mr. Q. II. Parker ,
Engineer City Jail , who lives at 2518 North
39th street , who says : "If any person Is
iloubtful or skeptical regarding the power
of Morrow's Kld-ne-olds to relieve or cure
kidney backache , rheumatism , nervousness ,
restlessness , Indigestion or bloating ot stomach
ach , hot Hashes and chilly sensations and
other symptoms of disordered kidneys I
-would advise a fair trial of ICld-no-olds. I
Buffered from , and was greatly annoyed from
these and other symptoms of kidney trouble

from kidney troubles. This wonderful change

that He should long to Ret away from the
surroundings In which Ho was. Men who
are for i tlmo placed amidst surround
ings which are distasteful to them
long for the afe retreat and the peace
which they knew In their own homes. Such
wax the feeling of Christ.
Another reason wna that Judaism might
he fulfilTefl , Christ went up onto the mount
and called to htm Moses , the father of the
law , and Kilns , the first of the line ot
prophets. Why did He call these two ? So
that Ho might know that In His llfo the law
had been fulfilled and the prophets Justified ,
that His llfo had been lived in every detail
ns It had been planned and that Judaism bad
been proved right.
A third reason was doubtless that the
faith of the three apostfes who wcro with
Him might be strengthened for the life
struggle that they afterwards took up. Peter
afterwards refers to It and It strengthened
Him to meet the martyrdom that came upon
Him. Wo need times ot transfiguration fre
quently In our lives. We como down from
the mount of our Inspiration nnd there Is re
vealed to us the lunacy ot wickedness and
folly among men ,

Crcntlnii of Mini Wnn the Cllmnx at
IClaliorntp Preparation.
Prof. Dana C. Johnson , who occupies the
chair ot Greek and history nt Highland Park
college , DCS iMolncs , la. , filled the pulpit of
Kountzo Memorial church Sunday morning
end delivered an Inspiring address , made
more effective because of the eloquence of
the speaker. 'Mr. ' Johnson said In part :
"Those who have read the story ot the
creation AS recorded In the book of Genesis
nro familiar with the long ages which
elapsed iboforo the 'sixth day' whllo the
earth was developing from a chaotic mass
Into a fit habitation for the beasts of the
field and the birds of the air ; when the
splendors of the heavens were unrolled nnd
the wonders of the firmament wcro made ;
when the band of God parted the curtains
of darkness and caused the light to appear ;
when by iHls power wcro gathered together
the waters and the first forms of living
things .began to multiply all this was but
an elaborate preparation for the climax of
the creation. 'As ' the crowning glory of His
work , God created man In Ills own Imago
and gave him dominion ever the land nnd
the sea and ever every living thing therein.
The triumph of God's creative power ; the
greatest mlraclo ever performed ; the crea
tion of the thinking man stands supreme
above all others in the creation.
"There Is a glory In the stars as they
shlno from the measureless depths of space ;
there Is a majesty In the sun as ho strides
across the heavens ; there Is a grandeur In
the mountain as It lifts Its snow-capped
peak above the clouds , but there Is nothing
superior to manhood nnd womanhood. And
why ? Because into the hands of men nnd
women God has given the scepter of domin
ion over all else of 'His ' creation. Upon the
shoulders of men and women God has cast
the mantle of personal responsibility. Ho
has clothed them with the supreme power
of Individual thought and action ; He has
stamped them with the Impress of His own
Imago and breathed Into them the essence
of 'His ' own being , tile has placed them
above the plane of everything Inanimate
and has given them the ability to cherish
feelings of love and kindness and sympathy.
He has given them .minds to think and
choose nnd plan and act without restraint.
He has given them consciences to distinguish
right from wrong. And above all this Ho
has bestowed upon them an Immortal eoul
and the heritage of eternal llfo to any who
will accept It. " He spoke of the great things
which the minds of men had wrought and
of the wonderful power , endowed by God ,
which has made It possible to accomplish
seemingly miraculous things. Ho spoke of
the possibility of the human mind. "It can
make a llfo a .miserable failure , " ho said ,
"or It can build up a noble character , the
memory of which will live In men's minds
for centuries. "
"Aftor being endowed by God with thcso
Infinite powers the Holy Spirit stands before
every man nnd woman and begs a favor. It
Is a simple thing Ho asks that Ho may be
come a friend , that Ho may abide In the
heart to bless and purify and strengthen.
Ho comes with a gift the gift of eternal
life and begs us to accept It. God urges
men and women to be honest , truthful , Just
and pure. Ho admonishes them to forsake
evil and embrace the good. " Ho spoke of
the responsibility of the decision either for
right or wrong which lies .with . every indi
vidual , and said : "Deforo every man nnd
woman there lie two ways. Ono Is a way
Ignoble , degrading , full of pitfalls and beset
with difficulties. It ends In misery and dis
appointment. It Is the sinful way. The other
Is the way of truth and honor ; the way of
light and peace , which leads to eternal Joy.
It Is the God-ward way. "
( Ho mentioned the lives of some of the
great men of history who have been earnest ,
true Christians and God-fearing men , and
said : "You may trace this truth through all
the world's history that the lives of truth
fulness , honesty , uprightness and purity nro
.tho lives that have won favor with God and
among men. It pays to live a Rood , honest ,
noble , Christian life to lift up before our
selves pure Ideals , to cherish high and noble
purposes , to go about among men doing
good.
"Nineteen hundred years ago In Bethlehem
of Judca there was born a king. No blare
of trumpets or proclamations of joy an
nounced Ills advent Into the world , but the
heavenly voices told the news to elmplo
shepherds at watch upon the Judcan hills.
Ho was born a king , yet never birth moro
humble. He lived a king , yet never life moro
simple. " The epeaker then dwelt upon the
beauty of Christ's life , and told of the deeds
of kindness and of love which Ho had done ,
In the face of opposition nnd malicious
scorn. "All that Is true and pure and good , "
ho said , "Is centered In that ono life. It Is
the perfect life. " Without the aid of Christ
no ono can live a pure life , in harmony with
the Ideals of true manhood and womanhood ,
and yet that aid Is freely offered , for Christ
has said , "Behold , I stand at the door and
knock. If any man hear tny voice and open
the door , I will como In to htm and will sup
with him and ho with Me. "

Illcnil In Divine I'lan.
The scriptural reference to the manner In
which stones , no two ofwhich were alike ,
were combined to form a harmonious whole
In the building of the temple was the basis
of Rev , Hubert C. Herring's sermon nt the
First Congregational church Sunday morn-
Ing. Tbo passage was applied to the creation
of the kingdom of heaven by the dtvlno ar
chitect and the manner In which human
natures that differ in their outward charac
teristics are blended Into harmony by the
spirit of righteousness. The sermon was of
a particularly practical nature and referred
especially to the necessity of liberality In
our judgment of others.
The speaker emphasized the fact that dif
ferent natures have different outward char
acteristics and they cannot be judged by the
same fixed standard. Sealed lips are not al
ways an Indication of cold souls and talka
tive persons are not necessarily shallow.
For these reasons wo should judge one an
other temperately and remember that there
are a great many kinds of people In this
world.
Speaking of narrow-mindedness In Judg
ment of others , Rev. Herring said that there
are two kinds of bigotry. One Is that which
confesses itself to be narrow and the other
Is that which pretends to "bo broad. Neither
has any patteneo with anyone who does not
walk In the exclusive path which It has
marked out and one Is exactly like the
other. Sometimes It Is dlmcult for the com
pany ot Christians worshipping on one corner
to realize that th ecmpany worshipping on
the other corner may be as near or nearer
the throne of grace than tbemielves. No
man U barred out ot the klnsdom ot God
because he holds an opposite opinion from
somebody else. This Idea that there is but
ono right path and that Is the ono In whloh
we are walking while everyone who does not
walk In It Is wholly wrong has been ro-
ftponslbla for A largo portion of the turmoil
and trouble in this world.
Concluding the speaker declared that ns
there Is disparity In human nature there la
also an element ot unity. This Is the spirit
of righteousness. Wo will always bo human ,
God wants us to bo human. But each must
be chanced In order to be fit to tie a part
ot God's kingdom. God cannot build a man
Into His temple because he pays his debts ,
Is good to his wlfo nnd goes to church once
In n while on Sunday. These outward things
nronot the essence ot righteousness , for the
change must bo within.

In ChrlHt'n Itrproof of tlic AVorlil.
At Grace Lutheran church , Rev. Luther
> M. Kuhns Sunday morning took for his
text : "Ho will reprove the world of sin , bc-
cause they bellovo not on Me. " John , xvl ,
8-9. He said , in part :
The reconstruction of a fallen rnco Is
the Spirit's completing work ot Christ's
mission. This bears some resemblance to
the procedure by which the seceded states
were restored to the union with their rights
and privileges nnd reconciled to the federal
government. Both salvation nnd condemna
tion are Involved In this reproof ot the
world. Its operation reaches Inwardly to
the heart and extends outwardly to disci
pline.
The Drst beneficent work ot the Spirit
Is the extension of truth In the world. And
when Ho comes , ho "will reprove the world
of sin. because they bcllevo not on Mo. So
the essence of sin is unbelief. The real
thing in sin that makes up the whole is
unbelief. The Indispensable and necessary
thing to sin Is opposition to Christ. The
rejection of Christ Is the essential mani
festation of all sin. Tills Is both the real
character of sin , not that murder and rob
bery are not sins , nnd the difference , too ,
which separates It say from righteousness
and goodness , shutting man out of heaven ,
The world will bo convicted of its own
unbelief In Christ In the extension ot truth.
For the Spirit reveals to men their sin by
making them conscious of their guilt ot
unbelief. The microscope makes many
mysteries known , so docs the telescope.
Just as a man recognizes iho feels , thinks ,
lives he becomes aware of his guilt , and
often the mystery of life becomes known
like objects seen through a microscope or
telescope. Man knows his guilt like a cul
prit eenslblo of his degradation. The con
viction that comes to man is a knowledge
of his unbelief. Ho recognizes ho has re
jected the morally good for what Is evil.
This knowledco Is like a whip of torture
to his soul , and through the spirit of truth
ho Is convinced of the Innocence of Christ
Whom ho rejected as his personal Saviour.
The Spirit bears In on man's conscience
the conviction of the ono divinely provided
way of deliverance from the guilt of sin In
the unbelief of Christ. The moral sense Is
wrong. It must be reached. So. like In
mining whore there Is the undercut to
facilitate removing Ufa mass , the Spirit
strikes at the guilt of unbelief to remove
the load of sin from the heart. It may bo
intellectual pride Is undercut to allow room
for spiritual truth. Such was the doubt
of Thomas. This object was the aim of
Peter's Pentecostal sermon.
To feel and know lie sin Is the one great
need of the world. The love that meets all
needs Is offered the world. Llko the good
shepherdi giving his llfo for the sheep , the
Master willingly lays down his llfo as a
ransom for others In the conflict with evil.
We can do little worse than to doubt the
genuineness and sincerity of Ills love.
HARMONY I1X IlKAL/MS OF TUUTH.
Onr Conception * nnd IiitcrprctntloiiN
of Science Have CIiniiKCil.
At the First Presbyterian church Sunday
morning Rev. S. F. Stein of Lincoln preached
to a large congregation , his subject being
"Truth. " ( Mr. Stein took the position that
truth Is the highest thing In .this world and
as an example of this showed that science ,
the foundation , of which is truth itself. Is the
Ereatest thing in the universe. Ho then
traced all truth to the bible , oven the found
ations of science.
"All our great discoverers In the world
of science bavo gotten their conceptions from
the book of books , the bible , " said the
preacher. "Bacon , who made possible the
investigations of today ; Newton , with his
marvelous scientific mind ; Faraday , Dana
nnd a host of others , through whom the
scientific progress of today has made Its
development , received their conceptions of
the universe and science through the bible.
O , .the debt of science to Christianity. AVIth-
out It that noble science could never have
made the progress it has within the past
three hundred years. And it ill becomes the
men born in the Christian faith and under
the light of the bible to employ the light
emanating from these racrcd pages to tear
down with demoniacal zeal the truths set
forth In that book.
"There Is perfect harmony in the realms
of truth. There must be , or truth would not
bo truth. There can bo no sectarianism
there. Sectarianism Is born of error al
ways , Wo do not teach the same scientific
text books wo did fifty years ago. They have
become obsolete. Is this because science
has changed ? My friends , science can never
change. It Is truth Itself. But our concep
tions of science and our Interpretations of It
have changed. The world has progressed nnd
with It the knowledge of man. Our concep
tions must change. In some countries things
arc differently arranged. In China the cri
terion by which all men are Judged Is the
conduct and teachings ot ( he sages of hun
dreds of years ago. The result la that for
hundreds of years China has not advanced
ono step In the advance ot the nation ? of the
earth. On the other hand during the past
fifty years Japan has discarded this theory
and taken up the theory of progress of the
west. The Chlno-Japaneso war of a few
years ago shows the result too plainly for
further words of mine. Japan with Us
adopted modern Ideas must win.
"In theology the same Is true. The books
of theology of a half a dozen centuries ago
nre now obsolete. The science itself cannot
chance. It is a great truth , nnd truth Is
now and forever Immutable. But our under
standing of thcso truths and our Interpre
tations of them must change. The world
progresses and with It the knowledge of
man. Truth itself Is as unchangeable ns
God himself. Has the bible changed ? It
cannot. The truths there laid down are as
Immutable as the hand ot fate. Our Ideas
of the bible , enlightened as wo arc by the
Increased knowledge of the world , must
change. To remain stationary Is Ignorance
nnd barbarism. To advance Is civilization
nnd Christianity.
"Most of the world's calamities have been
caused by the perversion of the truth. In
our own country the late financial panic that
crushed thousands nnd thousands of truthful
men and women was caused by a lack of
confidence. This lack of confidence was
nothing more than the discovery that in the
business world corruption had run riot nnd
that the truth did not prevail. Since that
panic our business methods hnvo been moro
truthful and our national honesty moro
brightly shown. As in business , so in all
other things. Truth Is mighty and will pre
vail. To pervert It Is ruin. It may be de
layed but It must Inevitably como. "

.AMUSEMENTS.
. . . .
The Trocadero was opened Sunday night
by a newly organized opera company known
as the Trocadoro Opera company , recruited
more largely from the Castle Square opera
company than from any other source. The
house was filled upstairs and down and
the welcome extended the now venture may
very safely bo set down aa enthusiastic. By
the time ono act had been played it was
moro than that and merely the first night
was enough to place the chief soloists In
the good graces of their hearers.
It was a satisfaction to hear the leading
fcmalo character taken by Miss Elolso
ilortlmcr. She received several warm re
calls and repeated cheerfully some of her
most dlmcult passages. And whllo voices
are being .mentioned , the strong , sweet toner
of Harry Davles , who eang the Mexican
nobleman's part , should not be omitted.
George Dyrono Drown carried the tltlo role
with sufficient kingly dignity and William
lllley Hatch , commander of the guard , was
an even bolter lover than soldier , though
ovcry Inch a soldier. Maurice Hagenmn
and William Hicks , the funny men , brought
to their aid any number of now Jokes , In
cluding some local bits that strike home.
The chorus was strong and beautifully cos
tumed. In fact , all the costuming and set
tings , being new , wcro brilliant and com
plete.
The bringing of uuch a company to Omaha
for a long term engagement Is , of course ,
-venture. . Whether It will succeed or not
Is what these who wcro there are asking
hoping that a week or two will prove thai
it will. It seemed last night that there
was no reason why It should not. If It
docs a real addition to the amusement re
sources of the city will have been made
The company will bo heard In romantic and
oven a few grand operas later.
The Woodwards entertained a large house
yesterday afternoon and evening with "Cap
tain Racket , " a three-act comedy , which wtl
In all probability prove ono of the most pop
ular of the company's Tighter plays. The
plot Is built on a Una of mistakes , as natura
under the circumstances ns they are funny.
Captain Racket gets Into trouble with his
wlfo because his uncle was first In love with
her picture and had to bo sidetracked by a
letter which did not please Mrs. Racket very
well when she came to find out that it had
been written. The Inopportune appearance
of the uncle at the same place where the
captain and his wife are staying makes It
necessary to dispose of him In eomo way , or
at least to keep him from meeting Mrs
Racket face to face. One of the schemes
adopted to do this Is the alleged Insanity of
both Mrs. Racket and the uncle. The scene
In which the two alleged lunatics come to
gether , each supposing the other Is "It , " Is
indescribably funny. But they finally get
together and reveal to each other how they
have been duped. Then the revenge side
of the story comes to be told. Mrs. Rackc
really makes her husband believe she Is as
bad as he painted her to his uncle , which
seems , after all , a pretty severe punlshmenl
for the latter. But the affair Is managet
with such adroitness that it can bo stopped
before a reconciliation la no longer possible
The play Is unusually fut of opportunities
for fine work and they are' made the most
of. Miss Emma Dunn's acting of the mis
chievous maid Is a notable example.
