Donn Fnlr PrmclirH nn Ulilr Sermon
from the Text , "Ilr < ' = < ! rnce
of Oed I Am Wlint
I Am. "
Dtxm Fair preached at Trinity cathedral
Sunday morning on a text taken from Paul's
epistles to the Corinthians , the passage In
which ho says , "By the grace of God I am
what 1 nm. " Ho said In part :
"A two-fold estimate of one's self Is of
special value for the reason that It will pre
vent one from experiencing unholy triumph
on the one hand and degradation on the
other , If wo know ourselves thoroughly
-we will not 'bo ' proud. And again , If we
know ourselves wo will not degrade our-
Bolvcswo : will not hrlng upon ourselves
sin and wickedness. Of all God's vast cre
ations man Is the greatest ; he Is greater
than the nun , the moon and all the firma
ment. Higher than the beasts ho was
formed In the Image of God himself. We
were made like God. If wo realize this
wo will escape too great degradation.
"Ifwe know ourselves thoroughly wo
will admit that all our troubles come from
our own wickedness and Inconsistencies ,
while -wo will realize equally that all our1
happiness and what goodness wo may have
oomes from God. "Uy the grace of God
I am what I am. ' Paul himself Is a strik
ing example of this truth which ho uttered ,
lor It was by the grace of God that he
was what ho was. Paul had becti most
nobly brought up , He spent his youth lu
the odlco of one of the foremost lawyers
of ( Jerusalem and ho was a shining mark !
In the city , not only in his profession , but
nl o In church work. The brightest pros
pects opened up before him , when sud
denly ho forsook the law and the church
and from the persecutor ho became the
devout Christian , preaching the gospel of
Christ to all people.
"Paul was a contented man. Whether in
prison or out of It ho was contented ho was
eatlsned. In his cell , with manacles on his
hands and feet , ho sang the praises of God.
Ho believed It his duty to be cheerful , Just
as much as he believed it his duty to take
the food for his dally sustenance. We have
no right to discontent. It is the natural
condition of the heart and begins in In
fancy , but It Is by the grace of God that
It is banished from our hearts. To be
discontented Js to criticise God's wisdom ;
besides which It unfits us for our future
usefulness. Discontent and a constant dc-
slro for something else has interfered with
the progress of many a young man. It is
those who patiently and faithfully work
along the path to which they are set who
are called higher in this world. "

I'M rut Pri'Mliytorlim Church.
The oresonco of a former and highly es
teemed jmstor , Rev. W. J. Harsha. D. D. ,
now of Now Tork city , attracted somewhat
more than the usual number or worshipers
to the First Presbyterian church Sunday
morning. Dr. Harsha suggested that what
ho had to say was not to bo consldored a
sermon. It was rather a talk from one who
remains their pastor in heart , though not
in fact.
The subject of his discourse was found
In the story of the death of the prophet
Ellsha , and the visit of Joash , king of
Judah , to his bedside. After Joash has ex
pressed his grief at the approaching death
of one who was "the chariot of Israel and
the horsemen thereof , " Elisha told him to
token a "bow and arrow In his hand. Then ha
placed his hand on that of Joash and told
him to shoot from the window eastward.
The arrow was sent hurtling from the win
dow and then the prophet told his visitor to
smite the ground. Joash struck the earth
three times and then stopped , after which
Ellsha told foim that If he had not stayed
Ills hand ho would fcavo won a decisive
vlotory over the Syrians , but now ho could
only amlto Syria three times.
( Following this story the speaker brought
out the various lessons that he traced in
each loaturo of the Interview between the
prophet and the king. First , he called at
tention to the element of repetition that Is
apparent In significant events. It Is an In
teresting German theory that this clement
prevails In nature ; that the lark that sings
over the English meadow today Is the same
that -warbled In the days of Queen Eliza
beth ; that the flowers that bloom today
are the same that were pressed 'by ' the feet
of Evangcllne. Ho contended that there is
at least a continuity In the great events of
distinct tie between
our lives that forms a
tween them.
Returning to the story Dr. Harsha de
clared that the act of the prophet In direct
ing Joash to take his bow Indicates that
Christians should take that which Is nearest
to them. ' That Is the secret of beginning
a Christian life. Take hold of what God
has placed nearest to you and use it for his
glory. Wo cannot realize what may be ac
complished by the most insignificant things
iwlien they are consecrated to God. The
ellng In the hands of David , the Jawbone
of an ass that Sampson wielded , Aaron's
rod , Ell's mantle , and Joshua's ram's horn ,
wore cited Itf .Illustration of this principle.
The speaker argued that the Inspiration
of the Scriptures consisted largely In the
absolute consecration of hand , and heart ,
nnfl mind. 'As Ellsha placed his hand on
the bow over the hand of Joash BO God
places his power over that which Is consecrated
crated to his service and the mightiest ro-
BUlts are obtained.
/The / effect of association with Christ was
llluitrated by the effect of the electrical
Illumination on the buildings and grounds of
the exposition. In the daylight some of the
buildings appear soiled and there are spots
here and there where the paint has worn

Mr. John SwauBon , printer , 311 South

Buffering from kidney backache. I took

Iflh and defect Is lost. So the heavenly Illu
mination makes the Imperfect spots In our
lives disappear and all appears clear and
free from fault.
The speaker suggested that the act of
Jonfth tn staying his hand after he had
struck the earth three times Illustrates
human culpability In significant events. So
many Christians go almost to the right
point , and then stop. They tire of service
and prayer and well doing nnd stay their

"God's Message to Humanity" was the
subject of the address delivered by Ucv.
Luther M. Kuhne , pastor of Grace Lutheran
church Sunday morning. His text was
chosen from John 6:40 : , "And this Is the will
of Him that sent me , that everyone which
/teeth / the Son , and bollcvcth on Him , may
have everlasting life , and I will raise him up
at the last day. "
"The most Important revelation of God Is
Christ , nnd the vision of Christ to such that
wo know that God revealed him to us , " said
Ilcv. Mr. Kuhns , "ns the chariots of fire
upon the mountains showed God's protec
tion , as the escape of the righteous from
the doomed city to the plains showed the
ministration of angels , as Christ's earthly
mission showed us God. This day the
voices of proof como from the human ex-
pcrlcaco and the mighty testimony of
Christ's countless followers Is that faith In
Jesus Christ IB the ono condition for the
remission of sins by which we may obtain
salvation. This mighty testimony of faith
comes down through the ages and belongs
to us today.
"Today I bring to you this message It is
the will of the Father that wo shall bo
saved. This Is God's message to humanity
and this Is the witness God gave to us of
eternal life and that life is In His son. I
beltcvo back to this point all men must
come. Today men ipause and stumble at
supernaturallsm , hut we are to decide for
the old gospel. It Is still the gospel that
reaches and satisfies the heart of the In
dividual man. First , wo must have faith
In Jesus Christ as our saviour. Men desire
salvation and faith results In the loosening
arid throwing off of the manacles of sin.
But this Is Insufficient. After the bondage
of sin has been released man must be re
stored to favor In God's sight. He must
stand before God as the beautiful flower
which received the favor of the morning
sun. God revealed himself through Jesus
Christ to the world In human form. It was
aa though the curtains , behind which God
liad been concealed , wcro drawn back for
the purpose of the revelation. . Wo are sen
sible to the touch of divinity. "
The speaker then referred to God's revela
tion of himself as being for the reason that
wo might realize his love the better and
this divlno iovo is the greater appreciated
because of the matchless sacrifice of Jesus
Christ on the cross. By the resurrection of
Jesus Christ we are freed from sin the sin
which rules and reigns in man tnortal un
ices the shackles are broken by God. Just
as mortgaged property is relieved from the
mortgage by payment of the obligation , just
as a promissory note Is void when canceled
by payment , just as the goods are received
from the pawnbroker , so Christ came to
bring rescue from sin and death. Through
his blood , shed upon the croos , mortal man
Is saved from the power and curse of sin.
It is a horrifying thought that anyone
should He down to death without perfect
faith In the hereafter In the salvation of
the soul. But for those who believe In a
risen Savior the coming of death brings with
It no terror. Man must have faith in God's
great message of the resurrection and in
Hla promise to this sia-cursed world of for
giveness of sins by grace.
T OK UNBELIEFS.
All of the DoRinnM Arc LnckiiiK in
SavliiR Orncf.
At the First Congregational church Sun
day morning the pastor , Ilov , Hubert C.
Herring , discussed the subject of "Bewil
derment of Unbeliefs , " and ventured" the
opinion that there are many degrees of un
belief , but they are all lacking something
and all have the same distinguishing mark
that God has placed upon the Christian re
ligion. The early churches were slanted
with this spirit of unbelief , and so It has
been to a great extent with the Protestant
churches of later date. Men have been too
apt to feel that they have reached the sum
mit and have been too prone to point to
the work of Luther and Wesley nnd there
stop. There has been a tendency to cling
to unbelief , probably because humanity Is
lazy and does not care to put forth the
effort to eeek out the truth. No doubt
but men have felt that H would bo a good
thing to believe In Christ , 'but ' in too many
Instances they have stood still , which means
to go 'back. '
The speaker advanced the statement that
when men will not follow on , then belief
becomes unbelief and along this line too
many of them are too ready to accept the
belief of Paganism. He spoke of the many
so-called religions that have boon brought
forth , nourished for a time and then disap
peared for the reason that none of them
have boon founded upon the historical reve
lations of Christ ; and then again men have
been doing too much religion building In
latter years too many of them have shut
Christ out of their religion.
When people look out on the great world
of unbelief , Rev. Herrlnj ; declared that It
Is a pathetic thing , and as an illustration
of the point he referred to Huxley , Mills ,
Burrows , Spencer , Emerson and a host of
others , all bright and learned men , out of
Whoso lives dropped the eavlng grace. Had
Emerson been able to say , "My Redeemer
llvethwhat a wondrous Messing Itwould
have been to him. But it could not be ; the
faith was not dead In him , but It hod been
shorn of Its power and BO It Is with too
many , which means a hopeless Journey
through a starlcos night.

At Calvary Baptist church the pastor ,
Ilov , Thomas Anderson , took his Sunday
morning text from the second book of Col-
osslans , 8:10 : , His topic was "Tho Philoso
phy of Vain Decult Versus the Philosophy
of Christ. " Ho said ;
"These vorsea give us a warning against
a definite danger and the specific truth with
which to fortify one's gelf against it. The
Holy Spirit when he prompted Paul to write
this letter had In 'his ' thought also the condi
tions and dangers of this year of grace ,
eighteen hundred and nlnoty-nlne. The
moment we 'begin ' to question and speculate
with regard to the plain teachings of Chris
tianity there is danger.
"Let the tiniest leak l > e suffered in the
old gospel ship without taking prompt
means to check It and It la only a question
of time before you have a waterlogged craft
whoso fate Is at the bottom of the sea ,
"Tho warning Is directed against philos
ophy of a certain kind. It wa a philosophy
only In name and used to cover up empty
and pompous speculation. There Is no war
between true philosophy and Christianity.
The Bible Is the most truly philosophical
book In the world. The philosophy Paul
combats was that -which had fallen to the
most puerile 'word juggling.
"It was a philosophy whose evolution had
been downward from Us noble masters of
the -past and now produced the sophist
whoso delight it was to prove the eame
thing true or false , right or wrong , by
terms. An inllated balloon full of empti
ness. Just prick It with the smallest pin
of common sense , or let it come In contact
with anything that is solid , and the bubble
bursts and it proves itself a thing of

The tendency to overpraise the theatrical
criticisms is almost as lharmful in the long
run as the caustic abuse In vogue with
seme of the rising dramatic critics of thlo
fin-de-slecle era. Nevertheless one cannot
refrain from the genuine pralso the per
formance of "Fra Dlavolo" by the Trocadero
Opera company last night elicited. The
production In every way was excellent and
gave undisguised pleasure to the largo audi
ence that witnessed It.
The most praiseworthy part of the per
formance was that Atfber'a immortal opsra
was given In Its entirety , no unnecessary
Interpolation being permitted , nor the
beauty of the original score onarrod by sub
stitutions of popular eonga or arias. Even
tbo difficult recitative end "bravura " aria ,
which opens the third act , and Is often
Bhunnod 'by ' artists presenting the part of
Fra Dlavolo , was artistically sung by Mr.
Davles. In the slx-oight allegro movement
In "G" Mr. Davles rose aboyo criticism.
The choruses wore given with a precision
of attack which Indicated diligent re-
hearsala , while the finale of the last act was
dramatically strong , yet at the same tlmo
natural and simple.
Messrs. Hagerman and Zinn are skillful
directors in their respective lines and last
night's success Is largely duo to their
efforts.
In comparison with other Zorllnas , Miss
Mortimer's impersonation must be ap
plauded , for the fidelity with which she
maintains tbo composer's Intent of the char
acter. Her vocal work < was as admirable as
her lilstrlonlo efforts. In itho second act
Mies Mortimer does a bit at her cleverest
work. After pleasingly singing that pretty
cavaUna " 'TIs Tomorrow , " nnd a prayer
charming for Us simplicity , "Oh , Holy Vir
gin , " she retires to rest.
Sir. Davles' rendition of the graceful bar
carole , "The Gondolier , Fond Passion's
Slave , " In which be accompanied himself
on the mandolin , was excellent. Ills death
scene in the third act was very effective.
There is but a step from the ridiculous to
the sublime , which was carefully avoided ,
and It was noted with pleasure that he
adhered absolutely to the traditional busi
ness of this scene. To Messrs. Hageman
and ( Hicks , the able comedians of tbo com
pany , praise Is duo for omitting the usual
exaggerated "horseplay" In act two. Miss
Alice James was a beautiful and statuesque
Lady 'Allcash ' , full of dignity , and did full
justice to the otherwise thankless role ,
William Rlloy Hatch made an excellent
Lord ( Allcash. Mr , Franklyn Fox was a
capital Lorenzo , Although this part was
originally Intended for a tenor voice , Mr ,
Fox's sympathetic 'baritone ' seemed to give
strength and character without marring the
musical ensemble. The minor parts were
In excellent hands , especially that of Mat-
tee , which was Interpreted In a superior
manner by George Byron Drowne.
The artlstlo climax of the opera was
capped by the beautiful rendition of the
famous sextette from "Lucia dt Lammer-
moor , " which tradition has sanctioned as
a substitute for the original elx-eight
allegro movement in B , which IB somewhat
monotonous.
The Woodward Stock company opened the
week at Boyd's theater yesterday afternoon
with Mrs. Romualdo Pacheco's three-act
farce comedy , "Incog. " This 1s the pleco In
.Tvhloh Charles Dlckaoo made euch a tilt
several years ngo , and al o ono of the
favorites of the many produced here last
aummcr br the Woodward company. It Is a
light , airy , nonsensical thing , In which a
husband , a lover , and a mischievous young
chap get mixed In some extremely ridiculous
situations. The husband and lover resemble
each other * o much that It Is hard for luolr
friends to dlntlguish them , and the boy , bent
upon hnvlng some sport , makes up to re-
Bemb\o \ both. All thrvo visit a seaside hotel
and arc there mistaken for each other by ttie
wife , sweetheart , and even parents. It Is a
rather short comedy , but goes with a roar of
laughter from start to finish.
Hal Davis , Harry Beresford and Walter
Greene take the part of the three counter
parts and the work of each Is praiseworthy.
A trlflo the most comedy Is allotted to Mr.
Davis , and In his usual clever way he takes
advantage of every laughable situation and
brings out everything possible In It.
James Fulton as General Rufus Stan
hope did the real brilliant piece
of uork of the production. His
character , that of ft dyspeptic old man ,
was not the least overdrawn , but presented
In an easy , natural manner. Will Davis re
turned to the company temporarily to play
the part of Dr. Hartman , the Insanity spe
cialist. This Is the part In which Mr. Davis
scored such a success hero last season and
while it Is a comparatively small one , ho
makes much of It.
Miss Kenuark , Miss Berkeley and Miss
Dunn all had parts well suited to their
I capabilities and each were handled in a
thoroughly capable way.

The remains of I3d Callohan are at
Heafy's undertaking rooms on Twenty-
fourth street awaiting the action of the
coroner. It Is more than likely that the
testimony produced at the coroner's Inqui
sition will bo about the name as that sub
mitted in the Joyce case. Very likely
County Attorney Shields will file a com
plaint against John Shanahan charging him
with the murder of Callahan. The testi
mony In this case will also bo virtually
the- same as at the Joyce hearing.
Several dajs ago a pistol was found near
where Joyce and Callahan lay on the- ground
back of the little shoe shop after they were
shot. The police are inclined to think that
the weapon was planted there by friends of
some of the interested parties , as It was
within a very few feet of a path over which
hundreds of people 'walk ' dally. In connec
tion with the finding of this weapon ono of
the most experienced officers on the force
said that It would bo foolish to suppose
that the pistol , which Is a 32-callber affair ,
had been In the possession of either Joyce
or Callahan. If cither had been armed and
dropped the weapon It Is reasonable to sup
pose that Callahan would have had some
of his friends get the gun and conceal it.
The weapon was not found until Monday ,
August 7 , eight days after the shooting , and
It Is not rusted enough to have lain out
in the rain In an exposed position for such
a length of time.
Undertaker Heafy waa Instructed yester
day to go ahead and prepare the body.
From these Instructions It Is Inferred that
no post mortem will bo held. No date has
"been " sot by the coroner for the holding of
an inquest.
Southern Cnttlc Conditions.
In connexion with the southern cattle
trade the Tesaa Stockman and Farmer says :
"Many stockmen point to the high price of
cattle as the reason why more cattle are
not changing hands In Texas. They eay
that cattle at present figures are too high
to insure the purchaser a profit. On the
other hand many argue that with the in
creased demand and short supply and the
fact that the business Is now on a firm
basis there Is more certainty of making
money than when the price is low and the
country overstocked. One reason why BO
few cattle are changing hands now Is that
most cattlemen are long on grass and shorten
on cattle , but having faith Ina continued
good market they know of no good reason
why they should clear their pastures of
cattle and thus lose the value of their gross.
With leased and deeded lands at present
figures and the prevailing scarcity of stock
cattle there Is little reason why beef values
should BO lower. "

In one way and another this advertisement has a di
rect personal interest for almost everybody most
everybody wears shoes. Whether you buy your own
shoes or whether somebody buys them for -you , it
matters not you don't want to forgot that there are
a great many ways of cheapening a shoo besides using
poor material. A piece of leather can bo oiled and
softened , and finished so as to make it look like the
best of leather , while it is nothing but a poor article
gilded over. Then , there is the construction , put
together hurriedly , you can't toll it by looking at it ,
only the wearing tells the iale then the fitting.
Most anybody can find a seamingly fit , but in a few
days the quality of the leather and the construt-
tion gives way and your fine looking shoo is a
total wreck.
Nebraska shoes do not give way they are not made
o give way they are made to give satisfaction in
every respect. Nebraska shoes do not wear out they
wear off. Nebraska shoes are made for "The Ne
braska" and for Nebraska people. We guarantee
every pair of ladies' shoes that leave the store , re
gardless of the price you pay. Shoes that come from
this store must represent a substantial shoe in every
respect. The name "Nobeaska" guarantees. Good
time now to buy Women's and Children's low shoes.
