" " - the subject of
"Tho Hi/man / Christ"was
lUsv. Luther M. Kuhn's discourse at Grace
Lutheran church Sunday morning. Ho
chosw his text from Deuteronomy xvlll , 18 :
"I will ralso them up a prophet from
mong their brethren , like unto thco , and
will put My words Into his mouth ; and he
shall npcak unto theo all that I shall com
mand him. "
The speaker enlarged upon the fulfillment
ot this prophecy. In the first place , calling
attention to the discovery of the Christ
child by the shepherds in the town which'
from that tlmo became historical Bethle
hem and then , throughout the entire dis
course , marking the realization ot God's
promteo in the divinity of Jesus ChrlstJ
Out of the children of Israel came the
man who was the typo of Moses , there being
striking points of similarity , as well as
many dissimilarities , between Christ and
Moses. The likeness was particularly along
the human fllde. The value of Christ's life
I on Its human side. So far as His example
Koes for morality and along the religious
side of life It was entirely that of a man.
How far this example exerted on influence on
men is seen in its relation to other men.
The chief difference between the life of
Chrlnt and that of the ordinary man Is
noted In His meekness and humility of life.
The only distinction Is that the perfection
of character belonged to Him ns the uni
versal man.
Jesus's humble life elands forth In His
knowledge of the spiritual and moral life.
He derived this knowledge from the In
dwelling of the spirit of God. Up to the
time ot Christ's baptism there was nothing
abnormal , nothing out of the ordinary , no
display of marvelous power In the Master's
life. His whole life In point of knowledge
is entirely on the manward side. The
speaker compared Christ's life with that of
other men. Ho had hopes and disappoint
ments , felt anger and indignation as a man ,
hl aspirations nnd all that belongs to the
imagination and memory seemed to be that
of a man.
We can sco three things , however , which
marked him ns a prophet his farsight , fore
sight and Insight. In this connection Mr.
Kuhns stated that ho had always been skep
tical concerning the predictions as to the
tlmo of the mlllenium. Jesus himself says
' 'of that day knoweth no man save God , the
Father , " and 'by ' this limitation of His
knowledge It is shown to be circumscribed
by His humanity. Christ's human life was
especially marked , because of his embracing
every opportunity to bring Himself Into con
tact with men that He might influence them.
The association of men nowadays is no
closer than wne tbo association of Christ
with His disciples.
Jesus Christ derived His power from close
communion with God , the Father , through
prayer , und His moral status is marked by
His sinless life and association with God.
Mr. Kuhns spoke of Christ's humanity , In
that ho grew In knowledge nnd wisdom nnd
stature and Increased in the favor of God.
Jesus showed His humanity by disclaiming
perfection. When the man came and ad
dressed Him as "Good 'Master , " he replied
that none was "Good" save the Father In
heaven. Jesus Christ was solely and en
tirely dependent upon God , thus Indicating
His humanity. He did not rely upon Him
self , but trusted implicitly in God , to whom
he prayed at all times , seeking comfort and
strength. This human Christ whom we
recognize as divine , experience ths same
doubts , the same fears , the same tempta
tions as do wo , but through it an He trusted
In God and it was His power that penetrated
the gloom and made nil things clear to the
trusting Son , Just as It will penetrate the
gloom and doubts which surround the heart
of any one today.
COD SHAPES XATUIUI'S COUHSE.
Providence" the Theme ot
U v. F. S. Stelit'H I > lncoiir e.
Rev. F. S. Stem of Lincoln occupied the
pulpit of the First Presbyterian church at
the Sunday morning service. The subject of
his sermon was "Special Providence" nnd
on unusually largo congregation listened
with Interest to an entertaining discourse
m the manifestations of God's will In the
affairs of mon.
Rev. Mr. Stoln took his text from Psalms
xxxvll , 23 , "Tho stops of a good man are or
dered of the Lord. " In beginning ho said
the verse chosen expressed a favorite
theme. The sermon In part was :
'llow many of the copgregatlon before
too this mornlnc believe the words of the
text ? I notice among you a child who Is
tbo very picture of contentment and happi
ness. In his bright countenance no trace
of care or Borrow represses his buoyant
spirit.
"Why do you suppose ho Is so lighthearted -
hearted and gay ? Because ho has absolute
confidence In the care of his parents. And
why can not youinnd I cast all our sorrows
on our heavenly Father , knowing Ho will
care for us In all things ? Can you glvo a
good reason ?
"Every ship on the sea , from the fishing
Bmack to the transatlantic liner , has a
definite course , knows Just where it is go
ing. Yet how many human lives there are
drifting aimlessly on humanity's shoreless
seas. That God reigns is Indicated by the
unity and stability ot the universe. Behold
the stars ; they move with perfect harmony ,
producing the music of the spheres. You
can not bo an astronomer and eliminate God
from your thoughts.
That God had mo nnd you In his thoughts
when be laid the foundations of the uni
verse , is evident In many phenomena.
Have you over stopped to consider the phi
losophy of the storage of coal In the earth.
Coal Is frozen sunbeams , to USD a paradox
ical expression , yet ono that Is scientific.
Why were they put there ? The conditions
which placed tbcso coal beds are of divine
ordination and Intended exactly to fill the
purpose they are lining today.
"Take the example of Iron ore , the most
useful commodity known to modern civili
zation. The ore Is not hidden far beneath
the surface of the earth , but near the outer
layer where It la most accessible. It can
be bad iby merely shoveling It Into a wagon
Tell me not this is the meaningless result
of the working of blind forces. The dlvlno
leadership of God is more completely re
vealed in history. Ha reads history with
Wind eyes who does not see on every page
the guiding hand of God. The judgments of
history ere the judgments of God.
"Some weeks ago I took occasion to trace
the will of God In the history of our own
country. Washington i td. 'No people can
bo more truly bound to regard their affairs
directed by the Omnipotent than the men ot
America. Mow marvelous has been the
progress of the Christian religion under
God's direction. Under the same obstruc
tions , within and without , ft human under
taking would have perished. It Is this
thought , no doubt , which Inspired Von
Miller , the Swiss hlstorlam to exclaim ,
God Is the key to history. '
"Three hundred years ago Spain was the
mightiest nation In Europe. Phillip II. was
very devout , though bigoted. ProtestantIsm -
Ism -was not yet more than farce In ita
inception.
"In England , Under Elizabeth , religion of
the Protestants was just gaining a foothold.
To regain the people of the Island to the
Church of Rome and to enjoy the advant
age of their commercial prosperity , Phillip
made proposals ot marriage to the English
queen ,
"Diplomatic negotiations failed nnd dur-
Inc the thrco years following , the arsenals
ot Spain rang with the sound of preparations
for the greatest naval crusade over under
taken the Spanish nrmada.
"Tho English made -what defense they
could before the mighty fleet assembled off
their coasts , ibut how Inadequate they were !
And still they wcro not necessary. God
simply looicncd the winds In His hand and
the great Armada -was swept from the seas.
Not a Spaniard stepped on the English
shore to carry out the mission on which
bo started.
Protestantism was saved , England wan
saved , civilization was saved by divine prov
idence and history IB full ot evidences of
Just such divine Interposition.
"Gladstone once said ho had met sixty of
the greatest men of the ago and only five
out of the sixty wore not firm believers In
Christianity. The greatest men of this day
place all reliance In prayer.
"Tho most perplexing condition to most
men Is unredrcssed wrong. We do not un
derstand the meaning of accidents , great
disasters- , calamities , wo do not understand
the 'blessings of the so-called fortunate nnd
the suffering among society's lowest strata.
"I do not bcllevo luck , misfortune and
kindred names have any place In the nom-
cnclalure of the Christian religion. The
things In the world we most deprecate are
often the most potential agencies for good. "
HVEIIY DAY MADE A SAC11CD HAY.
Hcv. Albert nniltncll of St. Joncpli on
ChrlHtlnti hiving.
Rev. Albert Bushnell of St. Joseph preach
ed Sunday morning nt St. Mary's avenue
Congregational church on the value of
Christian character as an exponent to the
world of the Christian gospel. Ho took the
leadership ct Moses among his people and
his relationship with God as an example of
the force which a character ahead of its
tlmo nnd superior to the average of Its
tlmo can exert for the realization of God's
kingdom on earth.
It is said of Abraham that he was the
friend of God and when Moses had de
scended from the mountain where , he had
communed directly with God his face shone
so that the people were afraid. They
should not have been afraid nor was it even
strange that Moses' face should have shone.
When ho went into the tabernacle the glory
of his face was in place , but it had no place
among the sinful people outside. So Moses
veiled It. Such men as these stand out
from the average of those surrounding
them. It wne by eighty days of constant
subordination of the material nature to the
spiritual that Moses had ibeen enabled to
attain his greatest desire and speak with
God. He paid the price. We are always
seeking to pay the price for that which we
most long for , and It Is that which we first
find the means for. There are hundreds of
young men today who look forward to the
time when they will hold positions of power
and large remuneration , out taey are un
willing to go through the course of long
hours , the mastery of details and the drug-
ery which Is necessary to attain them.
They are unwilling to pay the price without
which nothing can be accomplished.
We are to pay the price of godliness Just
as much In our everyday life as on Sunday
In the church. There Is nothing more sa
cred In the preaching of a eermon from the
pulpit than there Is In the multiplication of
dollars In the counting room. Every day
is a sacred day and everything we do Is for
the service ot God. If this Idea was carried
constantly Into the affairs of everyday lite ,
If all the business were transacted with this
idea in mind , this skeptical old world would
conclude that there was something in
Christianity , after all.
SKCIIET OF DANIEL'S SUCCESS.
Sermon by Itcv. II. II. ICelntrr nt the
Flrnt nieUioillNt Clinrcli.
Rev. B. B. Keletor of Hooper preached
Sunday night nt the First Methodist church
In which ho eulogized the character of
Daniel. He took for his text Daniel 1 , 8.
Ho spoke ot the early capture of Daniel
when he was' but 14 years of age , and
his removal to perhaps the largest city the
world has over known , where ho was sur
rounded by every temptation known to man.
Hero the young man kept himself spotless
from the world , refusing to eat the meat
offered to idols.
Daniel was not a Paul , but like htm In
asmuch as he had ono great overmastering
purpose in his life , and that ono to bo
true to his God , no matter what befell. He
was placed In lie great city for a purpose.
It had been demonstrated thAt trials nnd
temptations develop character , ns exercise
develops muscle. This young man with
stood temptations and came out victor , leav
ing behind him a character that twenty-five
centuries after is held up as a great ex
ample to the young.
The secret of Daniel's success was In the
fact that ho started right. Many a boy and
girl today leave their homes -where the
Bible Is honored and the Christian religion
IB revered and go out Into the world
where they forget the Bible and their re
ligion. They start another way , not meanIng -
Ing to go for , but before they are hardly
aware they are Jn the clutches of some
monster of sin that hold * them with a
deadly grasp.
In some manner through the providence
of God , Daniel was brought into favor with
the king and the rulers. So it Is today.
Those who do right are respected oven by
those who are not religious. These out
siders look up with reverence to a strong
and good character ,
The speaker concluded with the story of
the _ throwing of Daniel into the lions'
den" and of his triumphant victory over
lla ) enemies.

flrxt cited M sin Illustration ot iho effect ot
the spirit on the characters ot men , Peter ,
the pastor declared , was a eplondld typo o1
the men who shout "amen" the loudest nl
camp meeting and then go homo and neglecl
to attend the church prayer meeting. H Is
easy to push a success , but It requires
courage to stand firm for a despised faith.
Peter , who drew hie sword to defend Chrlal
1 against a company ot noldtcrs , denied Him
| thrice rather than cnduro the taunts ot a
servant girl.
The speaker then compared Peter's conducl
on this occasion with the spirit that he
showed at a later time when he stood before
the high priest and declared his faith In
Christ. Ho who had quailed before the rldl-
culo of a servant , preached a ecrmon that
brought D.OOO people to salvation. This was
not the Bnmo Peter. Pcntacost had come
bntwcen that day nnd the day of hie weak
ness and ho was inspired and transformed
by the Holy Ohost. The coming of the Holy
Spirit at Pcntacost had Infused new courage
into the disciples and the church then took
the first great strldo toward the success that
It has since achieved.
"So few of us know what the Holy Ohosl
Is , " continued the speaker , "that It Is nol
remarkable that there Is so much doubt and
fear among us. Ono reason why so many
Christians go back to the world Is that they
have never known the Holy Qhost. The
Spirit Is God. Ho Is ono of the Trinity , with
all the attributes of deity. As God Is eternal ,
omnipresent , omniscient and omnipotent , so
Is the Holy Ghost. Ho In as much our ruler
ns the Father or the Son. The ofllco of the
Holy Spirit Is clearly defined In the scrip
tures. As God the Father Is the creator and
God , the Son Is tbo mediator , so God the
Holy Spirit Is present potentate ot the king
dom of believers. The ministry of Christ
was brief nnd territorial and It was given to
but Cow to know Him , but Ho left behind
Him the Spirit of Truth that remains -with
ua to the end. "
SHU More Counterfeiting.
The Secret Service has Just unearthed An
other band of counterfeiters nnd secured a
largo quantity of bogus bills , which nro so
cleverly executed that the averngo person
would never suspect them of being spurious.
Things of great value are always selected for
Imitation , notably llostctter's Stomach Bitters -

Local candidates for political honors do
not appear to be greatly plennod with the
provisions of the law passed by the last leg
islature relating to election expenditures ,
This law Is Intended to prevent corrupt
prnctlccn at elections , nnd a fine of not less
than $50 or Imprisonment In the county jail
for a period not to exceed six months Is
provided for violating the same.
Hereafter candidate * will not bo allowed
to furnish , pay for , or engage to pay for ,
any entertainment to any meeting of elect
ors previous to or during an election , neither
Is the candidate allowed to give away or
treat to any drinks , cigars or other refresh
ments ,
The expenditures of candidates arc limited
to the number of voters In the state , district
or municipality , and are determined upon
the following basis ! For 6,000 voters or less ,
$100 , nnd for every 100 voters .over 5,000 ,
$1.60. The number of voters shall bo taken
ns equal to the total number of votes cast
for all of the candidates for the same ofllca
at the last preceding election. Sworn state
ments must bo made by candidates within
ten days after election setting forth In de
tail all sums of money and other things of
value contributed , expended or promised ,
during the campaign. No certificates of elec
tion are allowed to be Issued to successful
candidates until a full statement of expenses
shall have 'been ' filed with the proper au
thorities.
While It may bo true that some candidates
will look with favor upon this law , a number
of local politicians do not favor the plan on
account of the radical change It will make
In election methods here. It has been the
custom here for years for candidates to ee-
cure halls , pay for music , refreshments and
other entertainments , and It Is feared by
some that the change to the new system
will not be understood by the majority of
voters In the Magic City. Prospective can
didates are Inclined to think that many of
the voters will misunderstand them when
money for refreshments , etc. , Is refused , and
a small vote will likely 'bo ' the result. As
South Omaha has lesa than 5,000 votes at
this ttmo no candidate for a local ofllce will
bo allowed to spend more than $100. If re
ports are true this amount Is not a drop In
the bucket as compared with the vast sums
expended during the Ensor-Barrett cam
paign. Ono well .known politician eatd yes
terday that one thing was certain , and that
was If candidates were held down to an ex
penditure of $100 very llttlo Interest would
bo taken In elections hero until the voters
became used to the new system , and ho
thought it would bo a long tlmo before tbo
foreign element could be made to under
stand that it was against the law for candi
dates to purchase cigars or refreshments for
friends.
Detail * of OlllHthllc Accident.
Funeral services over the remains of Al
bert Olllsthlk will bo held at St. Agnes'
church this morning and the Interment will
be nt St. Mary's cemetery. Undertaker
Heafy has charge of the remains and yes
terday communicated the facts about the
accident to the coroner's office. As Coroner
Swanson was absent no decision about holdIng -
Ing an inquest was reached , but it is hardly
thought that an Investigation is necessary ,
unless one should be demanded by the in
surance company In which Ollisthlk car
ried a policy. The young man lived at
home with bis parents , 3022 Q street , but
they cannot throw any light upon the ac
cident. Mrs. Ollisthlk said that she was
engaged downstairs when she heard some
thing fall on the floor above , and upon run
ning to her son's room found him laying on
the floor with hia face covered with blood.
The rusty pistol wihlcih the young man had
been cleaning .was found on the floor near
the body. Drv Thomas Kelly was sum
moned , and an examination allowed that
the bullet had entered the left eye and.
after passing Uhrough the brain , came out
at the back of the head. When the physi
cian arrived llfb was extinct.

these stores.
Members of the union stood about on the
sidewalks in front of these two stores and
passed handbills to pedestrians whloh read
as follows : "Do not patronize the stores
that keep open on Sunday , but help the re-
tall clerks secure Sunday for a day of
rest. " It is reported that this action on the
part of the clerko1 union deprived the two
stores of considerable business. The
clerks appear to bo determined to secure
the closing on Sunday of all of the stores

boycott -will be continued next Sunday un

OMAHA TURNVEREIN PICNIC
Aniinnl Online of the * Organisation
Occur * nt Syndicate Park and
All Arc
A crowd of pleasure-seekers thronged
Syndicate park Sunday from early morning
till late at night. The occasion was the
annual plcnto and athletic games of the
Omaha Turn Vereln and members of the
organization with their families and friends
to the number of 800 took advantage of it
to enjoy a day's recreation where amuse
ment abounded.
About the hills and glens ot the enclos
ure were placed nil kinds of devices for
comfort and pleasure. There were giant
swings , hummocks and boats without num
ber and they were in use every minute. The
little folks romped about and explored the
woods , while the older people found enjoy
ment on the water or in the shade where
they could listen to the familiar strains of
German music by the Turn Vereln band of
twenty pieces.
Noon was the dinner hour. Covers were
spread on the grass and the army of pic
nickers enjoyed an outing banquet In the
open air. During the afternoon there were
games without number for young and old ,
and It was then the chief attraction of the
occasion , the athletic contests , were held.
The event in which the greatest number
of people took part was the fishing contest.
Poles and lines were furnished for as many
as cared to enter with sufficient bait for a
single-costing. Fines were Imposed for ex
tra baiting and the winner was the person
who shoould catch the most fish in ten
minutes with the least bait. The prize , an
elegant fishing rod , was won by Emll Stein.
In the base ball throw for women there
were two prizes , which were secured by
Mrs. A. Brandies am' Mrs. Herman Schaefer ,
in the order named. Prizes in the trap
shooting contest were won in the following
order : Gus A. Shoedsack , Jpe Trostlcr ,
Max Wlttpes.
The contest for the championship gold
medal consisted of three events , the ham
mer throw , the broad Jump , and the parallel
bars. The medal was awarded to Henry

ber of points in the three events. The
other competitors wcro Herman Besulln ,
Clause Conrad , Ed Schurlg and Otto Nelder-
welser.
