though centuries huvo passed nlncu Jesus

ful dny Is marked In the history of each

Krow with tlmo In Christian grandeur nnd
ltnprcsslveness.
At i;ilxciiinl riniri'lu-o.
At Trinity cathedral three sorvlccs were
held, two In the morning and one In the
ovcnlng, Large palms In plenty decorated
tho chancel appropriately to tho day. Thy
regular Palm Hunday nrrvlccs of the Kpls
f opal church were romluilnl by Dean Fair.
Ju the morning Jules l.iimtmril sang "Tho
1'ulma" as tho offering nnthem and Dean
l'alr supplemented Iho fervlce with n brief
verinon on "Christian Constancy."
"1 pray that you, my brothers nnd
sinters," said ln, "will I: steadfast and
constant to our Christian resolves. This
Is tho day upon which Jesus entered Juru
kiIpiii to be crnwnrd king. He was re
ceived and honored by the same people who

What n sad and enduring picture of the
llckleness of tho populuco do we find In the
foiv days of tho life of Jesus Christ from
Talm Sunday l Good rrlday. Crowned on
Sunday nnd cruclllcil on l-'rlday: on Sun
day n throne and on Friday .1 cross. The
people were convinced, but not converted.
Let us pray that it shall not bo so In this
day. If you are convinced of the truth of
Christianity lm converted to Christians and
Hand brave ami constant In tho faith."
The services at nil of tho other Episcopal
churches were, of course, similar to those
at the cathedral. At All Saints' In tho
morning C, W. Manchester sang "Tho

given by Mis. T. J. Kelly. Mrs. Myron D.
Smith nnd Master Darwin Ilradley. Hlshop

I'.ilni Sunday was appropriately celo
lirntcd nt draco Lutheran church. Pre

wire held and nine young people wcro
received Into full membership of thn
church. Children were nlso offered for
baptism. Tho church wns beautifully dee
orated with palms and lilies. Mrs. 0. W.
lckcn sang "Tho l'alms."
.'lev. Luther M. Kuhns took ns his text
tho words, "This Is Jesus, tho Prophet of
Nuureth of fiiilllce." He told of tho
triumphal entry of Jesus Into Jerusalem
nnd contrasted It with tho scene which
will be enacted when tho llnnl summons
Khali rorao to ull bellovcrs In Ood.
"Men ami women cast their gnrments
bcloro tho Savior nnd showered Him with
garlands. His entrance to tho holy city
could not have been more auspicious. The
city paid trlbuto to Him who was soon to
meet death on Calvary' said the preacher.
"Tho peace and Joy of this sceno In Jeru
salem waB, In striking contrast with th-
Bad events which were to take placo In the
next few dnyo.
"Palm Sunday marks tho beginning of
tho tragedy which mado salvation possible
for mankind. About tho crucifixion has
grown an Institution, which has stood the
onslaught!) of illshollcveis of 2.000 years.
The Christian church has survived nil tho"
attacks made upon It. !t has proven that
It Is not n creation of man. No lnstltu
tlon could enduro ns tho church has unless
guided by n supremo hand.
"Jesus will enter Jerusalem again under
different circumstances. It will ho Judg
ment day anil u triumphal nrmy will pats
Into tho eternal kingdom. After that
nusplclous entrance thero will bo no sac
lillco and no death. Unllko Palm Sunday. It
will not be followed by grief and suffering.
Christ gavo His llfo to save mankind. Ho
suffered for Clod's followers nnd nil who
bcllcvo on Him shall have everlasting life."
At Koiinlzi- Mt'iniirlnl.
At thn Kountzo Memorial church In tho
morning a class of twenty-ono boys nnd
girls, who have been studying tho prin
ciples of tho church under tho direction
of tho pnstor, Hcv. Kilwnnl V. Trefz, were

tinder 11 years of nge, In ncconlance with
the rubrics of tho church. At tho confirma
tion service tho members of tho class ic
cltcd tho Lord's prayer, tho ten com
mandments and the apostle's creed. Mr.
Tubbs sang "Tho Palms" and tho choir
rendered Jerusalem."
At tho evening servlco tho choir sang a
I.enlen motottc, "Sorrows of Sntan." Tho
sermon by Hnv. Mr. Trefz was on "Christ's
Kntrnncc Into Civilization." Ho compared
His entrance Into Jerusalem with His on
tranco Into tho world's civilization, cm
phnslzlug His Intlucuco. Ho showed that
tho Christian religion Is nt thu baso of
our civilization.
In Ciitliollc C'luirelii-K,

Rev. 1). K. Tlndall, In his Sunday even

said: "My text Is found In Epheslnns 11, 12.
Thin Is tho picture Paul draws of the
wretched condition of tho Ephcslaus bo
fore snved by Christ that they wero with
out Christ, without God and without hopo
In the world. This Is the practical condi
tion ot tho heathen world and of overy un
saved person today.
"Think of this world without Christ!
Thero would bo no key or meaning to his
tory. The best literature of tho world, ns
well as tho bible, would bo ruined, nnd our
chronology would bo upset. Tho moral
and religious condition of tho world would
bo hopeless. When Christ came to earth
nil progress had ceased the world was.
nt a standstill. Nay, It was waning In every
sense, except In wickedness, und thero ap
peared no Btart of hopo In nny direction.
Thero was none In paganism, for Its Idol
utry was fnst losing hold an tha world.
Judaism .had run Into formalism and tra
ditionalism nnd was losing Its grip on
mankind. Philosophy had failed to show
tho people God and was waning, Muny
philosophers taught tho expediency of
suicide In caso of old age, helpless child
hood and of great trouble. Woman's condi
tion In tho world wns all but enviable, nud
human llfo was cheap. Sulcldo wus com
mon. Egyptian darkness rolgned,
"It was now tho Son of' Righteousness
aroso nnd scattered night away. Jesus wus
tho llGht of tho world. Tho world took .1
now lease ot llfo and has ever since, though
slowly, yet cortnlnly, been moving on to
noonday splendor, nnd this Is tho best
time tho fallen world has over seen, while
tho golden ngo Is ou before us.
"Think of a great city 'without Christ!
Tho cities aro now bad enough, but they
might bo much worse. Thoy hnvo much
that Is good. If they have tho worst, they
have also tho best. How terrlblo would

Christ! It would likely bo a walled city,
with low and poorly lighted and ventllnted
buildings and llttlo sanitary provisions
such as aro found In heathendom worso
than thoso cities of Cuba during Spanish
rule. It would have no church, for It
would havo no God to worship; but It
would havo temples nnd thratrrs to Hue

bats. Thoro would bo no Sunday school
for bright and sweet llttlo children, for
there would bo no Suudny thero, but a
holiday for all kinds of sports nnd gamos.
It would not bo a city of song, for atheism

A company of quaint old men and restless
children, with n light bprlnkllng of middle
nged folk of both texes, made up tho con
gregation nt Pentecostal mission, Seven
teenth street nnd Capitol avenue. Sunday
nfternoon, tho attraction being a sermon
by Hcv. Hud Koblnsou, nn evangelist from
the mountain district of Tennessee. It was
n plcturcsquo congregation, addressed by n
plcturesquo speaker. "Hcv. Hud's" man
ners, bearing and stylo of Invocation aro
racy of tho soil, being as frco from the re
Btralnt of conventionalism ns those of tho
natlvo' inoonshlneis, a fraternity to which
ho often refers in his Sermons und private
conversation. Ho makes no pretense to
learning. Tho charm of his discourse Is In
u rich mother wit and tho fervor with which
ho appeals to sinners to sin no more.
Tho amen chorus was remarkably strong,
especially during tho prayers, of which
there wero two to open tho service. Hew
Charles W. Snvblge made tho first supplica
tion, nnd was followed Immediately by a
Chicago drummer who sells picture frames,
S, Henry Ilolton.
"Wo praise Thee, O Lord!" began the
Chicago drummer, "that the old Adam was
killed nnd that n now Adam has como to
dwell In our hearts."
Hiinnlng thiough this prayer like n minor
ehoid In 11 symphony was n constant chorus
of "Amend!" "Glory Hallelujahs!" "Yes, O
1mls!" "God Grant Its!" nnd tho like. Two
or threo of the especially devout rocked
their bodies nnd walled In n dreary mono
lone. Others appeared ' to bo weeping,
though ono could not bo sure. Tho gen
eral effect wns such ns produced by tho
ululntlons of owls, frogs and creeping things
In the hell scene of "Faust."
Even In the singing of tho hymns tho
iimens were frequent. "There's Hoom nt
tho Fountain for Me" wns tho selection.
Tho conductor rend:
"Ho cleansed my heart from Inbred sin"
"Just llko lllm!" chirruped n good sister
up In front.,
"And there's room at the fountain for
me."

"Hcv. Hud." as he hi nffeetlonntcly called
by thoso who havo known him for n few
houis, preached on the" BUbJcet, "The Per
fect Love," taking his text from Corln
tlilane. "Noah lived a holy life," snld he, "hut
ho gotdrunk once, nnd you can read all
about that drunk hi his obituary, to ho
found In tho blblo. How different that Is
from tho obituaries to be found today In tho
church advocates obituaries of church
members who have gono to their reckoning!
Not ono word can you find there about the
member's having been sprung nt n picnic
or of his having cheated his neighbor In a
horse trade. Hut when Noah's obituary was
written that Jag was mentioned. There
was no doctoring of tho records In this
case no falsifying of the returns."
Thus far In his dlscourso tho speaker
had been calm, his voice raised scarcely
above the conventional tone, and tho nmen
exclnlmers had difficulty In finding nn open
ing. They werii In sympathy with what ho
said, but somehow tho romarks didn't re
quire nny punctuation nt their hands.
Finally tho evangelist had occasion to utter
this Kentlni'.nt: "Vet lie In spirit Judgen
nil things."
It didn't mean much, but n fat man with
a powerful pair of lunga and a falsetto
volcn wnn moved to Bhout, "Yes! yes!"
The Interruption wns as Inappropriate
hb a Joko at a funeral, nnd waB too much
for the gravity of tho speaker. Ho burst
out laughing. Then ho seemed to sud
denly remember that this might offend tho
devout gentleman with tho falsetto voice,
so ho grabbed n hymn book and held It
over his faco until ho could regain com

"'Without God,' how awful! Possess

" 'Without hopo!' Nothing Is quite so
dark! Hut If wo aro without Christ and
God, wo must bo without hope. Better bo
without n country, n home, n mother or
friend than without hope. This world
would bo no place for man, nor would

world without over a ray of light from a

Row Jacob Flook of tho Hillside Congre
gational church delivered a cermon Sunday
morning on "Tho Fruit ot Faith."
Ho took his text from Mark xll, 13-11:
"And on tho morrow, when they wero
como from Hethany, Ho was hungry. And
seeing a fig treo afar oft having lenves. Ho
came, If Imply He might find anything
thereon; and when He came to It Ho
found nothing but loaves, tor tho tlmo of
figs wus not yet."
Dr. Flook compared tho church to tho
fig tree, showing that Jesus was hungry
for fnltb and oxpocttfd to tlnd It among
thoso who professed it. Ho pictured tho
disappointment of tho Lord In finding no
fruit of tho faith Ho has given to man and
urged his hearers to labor so that when
thoy should como beforo their Maker Ho
might find them truo Christians' and not
discover that "tho lenves" of n professed
faith wero only tho outward covering ot
hypocrisy nnd that Ills expectations wero
not realized.

AMUSEMENTS.
Orpliotiiii,
Four acts sufficiently meritorious for the
top lino arc In tho now bill at tho Orpheum.
Tho opening performances yesterday after
noon und last night attracted enough people
to crowd tho auditorium to Its capacity nnd
better pleased audiences have not been
seated In the theater this season.
Francesco, Redding Is perhaps entitled to
first mention, because tho one-act ploy
which shu presents Is n gem, puro In moral
tone, correct In dramatic construction nnd
effective In purpose Few of tho short
plays produced on tho vaudevlllo Btngc at
tain their comedy without tho Introduction
of crudo nnd rudo situations and dialogue
and for tho reason that Miss Rcddlng's of
fering possesses tho fun-producing quality
without tho faintest suggestion of conrse
ness or vulgarity it U especially welcome
to nn Indulgent public. It Is well, too, that
this genuine llttto comedy, which Is en
titled "My Friend from Texas," is In the
hands of Miss Heddlng, for sho Is fully
competent to glvo It the proper presenta
tion. Her work Is plainly that of tho ar
tistic nctress who Is at ease and natural
throughout n performance. John Alden
and Arthur LarklQ glvo crcdltablo assist
ance to tho star.
Tho boys of Hattcry G, Omaha Guards,
who mako their initial professional ap
pcarauco this week, need havo no misgiv
ings as to tho success of thulr original act.
They present u. battery drill with wonder
ful precision und agility und conclude their
performancu with n realistic nnd stirring
battle scene. It Is something new to the

real merit.

Iiiiportniii'c of UelnK Prcpnrrtl.
Tho Royal Arcanum attended tho Seward
Street Methodist Episcopal church In a
body last night, and tho pastor, Row C. N.
Dawson, preached a sermon of especial In
terest to thorn. For bis text ho took Mat
thew xxlv, Ax "Therefore bo yo also ready,
for In such an hour as yo think not tho
Son of Man cometb."
Mr. Dawson Introduced .his sermon by
saying that It was not bis Intention to fore
tell tho second coming of Christ, but rather
to show tho Importance of bolng ready for
it. Ho Impressed tho personal application
ot tho command upon his hearers, saying,
"It matters llttlo who Is ready If you aro
not."
"Persons prepare for a long Journey, for
old age, for a visitor and often neglect to
prcparo for the most Important thing for
them their salvation" said tho pastor,
"Nothing clso Is so Important as to bo pro
pared for death, Hoth spiritual and tem
poral preparation should bo mado. A care
ful man looks after the welfare of those
dependcut upon him by making his will, ar
ranging bis business affairs so that they
may bo handled by his successors, and In
lato years by having his llfo Insured.
"Hut this ought you to do think for your
future welfare nnd bo prepared to meet your
Maker.
"Tho best legacy you can lcavo your
children Is n good name. Remember that
nothing In this world can compensate for
tho thought that father or husband did not
live a good life, and that ho passed awuy
amid clouds."

"Tho essential basic Baptist principle,"
said How Thomas Anderson Sunday morn
ing at tho Calvary Baptist church, "Is not
Immersion; is not attendance upon the
Lord's supper. It Is tho recognition of
Christ as Lord. As such Ho has thn right
to command. Church membership, baptism,
tho uttendanco upon tho Lord's suppor wili
not save anyone, but ho who does not nboy
thoso commands of tin Lord has no right to
entertain tho hopo of being saved."
Hew Mr. Anderson was preucblng on tho
theme, "Tho Test of Love," nnd' his text
wns, "If yo lovo Me, keep My command
ments.". Having established tho right of
tho Lord to command, ho held up tbo duty
of tbo believer to obey and showed that to
obey and to love react ono' on tho other.
"To obey Is to know," ho said, "and to
know Is to lovo and to lovo Is to obey, Tho
obedlenco which comos from lovo Is un
questioning. It Is unwavering nnd It Is Joy
ful. Muny say today that they lovo tbo
Lord, but they aro out of sympathy with

BEST PASTURAGE IN YEARS
I'nrnicrji Report .Nrlirnnkn Soli finl-
iirnloil In Mull (lie
GriiKcm.
According to tho stories told by farmers
who como to Omaha tho snow of last week
hnB been of great ultimate value to the
state, but did not como with tho benedic
tion which tho farmers felt at tho snow nnd
rain whlrh preceded It by n few days. The
first storm found tho country In need ot
molsturo nnd brought what was demanded.
Tho second ono added to tho molsturo and
assures tllo grazers of the western part of
tho slate tho best pasturage they have
had In many years.
In tho southern part of the stato tho
snow delayed tho farmers who had begun
to plow for corn. Many ot them had hl
rendy sowed their oats and while Uic suow
fell upon tho grain no da ma go wau done,
as tho ground did not freeze. What the
farmers fear Is a freeze, which may como
whllo tho ground Is wet and open. If such
a change. In temperaturo should como win
ter wheat may bo damaged and some of the
oats may rcqulro rcplantlug.
Gonerally tho ground is too wet to be
worked nnd several days will bo lost In
getting ready for tho spring crop In conse
quence. This will not affect tho corn, but
small grain may be delayed In consequence.
Just beforo tho snowstorm n report re
ceived from tho winter wheat district
showed that tho condition of the crop wns
nbout 100 per cent compared with the
average. Reports coming in slnco that
tlmo show that so far tho wheat has been
benefited rather than Injured by the snow
fall, but until tho ground gets dry tho
farmers will fear colder weather.

beer is the beer of civiliza
tion. Go to any part of the
earth where mankind values
purity, and you will find
Schlitz beer is the recognized
pure beer.
T"or fifty years the Schlitz
agencies have followed
white men's concjucsts.
They are twenty years old
in South Africa.
Schlitz beer was famous in
Siberia before a railroad was
thought of.
When Japan and China
first began to awake, Schlitz
beer was advertised in their
newspapers.
Almost as soon as Dewey
captured Manila 210 car
loads of Schlitz were sent
there.
Today Schlitz agencies so
dot the globe that when it is
midnight at one" it is noon
day at another.
The quality by which
Schlitz beer has won distinc
tion has been its absolute
purity. Every physician the
world over will recommend
Schlitz, the beer that made
Milwaukee famous.
