"Thn primary fact wo need to take to
our minds Is that this earth ami these
hcavcn aro not Incidental to man; man Is
Incidental to them. Ho has coma Into be
ing In a world subject to certain iho
nomena, which huvo repeated themuelvcH
for Incalculable ages, and with whoso con
tlnuanco ho has no more to do than havo
Mother Gary's chickens In keeping up the
ebb and flow of ocean tides. Nothing but
false and puerile conception of tho unl
Yursp, backed up by enormous self-conceit,
could havo led him lo Imagine himself tho
object toward which any benign or ile
tructlvo agency In naturo Is purposely di
rected." Such was tho declaration of llov. Newton
M. Manii In his Sunday morning nornion
t Unity church, on "The Tower of Slloam.
An Inquiry Into tho Spiritual Significance
of Unsplrltual Things." Hcv. Mr. Mann's
preliminary reading was from l,uku xlll, I,
In which Jesus is mado to say: "Those
eighteen on whom tho tower of Slloam fell
and killed them, think yo that they were
offenders above ull tho men that dwell In
Jerusalem?"
Thlnun Illumined.
Rev. Mr. Mann said: "Acrordlng to a
habit of thought, not yet outgrown, people
wero disposed to Imagtnn that theso vic
tims woro singled out for the slaughter by
an avenging power, whoso 111 will they had
eomehow Incurred. This view Jesus takes
occasion pointedly to correct. I'rctty much
everywhere In tho old scriptures an nvong
lng power Is assumed to bo manifest In
all natural and preternatural catuftrnphlcs,
tho latter being associated with human
Ejillt. This primitive teaching has still a
strong foothold terrorizing tho helpless In
tlmo of peril. This shows that reason has
not yot enough deepened Its hold on tho
rcllgous nuturo. It needs yet to Iterate
and to reiterate the rational gospel.
"That primitive apprehension has fast
ened Itaclf In our creeds and oven In our
legal forms. 'Ily tho act of Ood' Is tho
legal phrasi) used to Indicate unforscon
calamities. I object to that phrase, not
bocauso It makr Rod figure In a fow rare
and appalling phenomena, but because, by
Implication, It excludes Htm from all other
phenomena. He Is not moro In the deadly
lightning stroke than In genial sunshlno
and shower.
"Thero aro preachers who, having
pointed out that the earthquake, tho tor
nado or the drouth Is a manifestation of
Hod's righteous Indignation toward the
peoplo nflllctcd by It, will forthwith turn
uround nnd ask for a contribution to rollove
tho sufferers that Is, to muko tho divine
Judgment of no effect. TIiub tho right feel
ing Btultllle tho wrong reasoning.
IIIi-nmIiiu: III SurferliiKH,
"Theso very trials shapo our ends to
nobler fashions sometimes. If thero were
no suffering thero would bo no tender sym
pathy; nnd, as far as we can ec, tho world
would bo only tho worse off, from which Is
evolved this paradox: Tho highest human
excellence come3 from the effort to lctbcn
tho world's misery.
"Not only may wo say, flod does not
bring catastropho to punish HIb enemies,
Wo may go further and say Ho cannot pre
vent It even to save His friends. Tho laws
of naturo aro tho word of nod; Ho has
given His word in them uml Ho cannot
break It.
"Man has not dwindled In Importance,
but tho world has widened nnd God's lu
flnlty Is better perceived. All things, we
leo, wero not mado for us; but many
things aro ours, richly to enjoy; the world
has room nnd Bomo sort of welcome for
everyone. And over uh nnd over all there
Is rt benignant I'rovldencc."
LOVE MAKES WORLD BRIGHTER
To ti oh en Out (lie HoiikIi Much of
lliunniilty nnil MrliiKN Out Hip
Hotter Mile.
At tho First Congregational church Sun
flay morning tho pastor, Hov. Hubert C.
Herring, prenched from tho subject, "Tho
Endurance of Lovo."
"Why Is It," ho asked, "that pooplo can
not llvo together In harmony? Tho cynic
has an answer ready. Ho says tho fault
Is with tho people, and ho quotes from
HurllBlo, 'Tho world Is mado up of a bil
lion peoplo, moBtly fools Hut Is It not
truo that tho fault Is with oursolvos? Could
wo not dwell In pcaco with our neighbor
If wo would opon our hearts to lovo and
.top quibbling nbout what wo consider his
faults nnd frailties? So few of us rcallr.o
that when wo pass Judgment on others wo
aro really exposing our own narrowness and
Imperfection.
"Wo havo nil secn tho proof that th5
photographor semis us n few days after tho
sitting, nnd wo havo been appalled at tho
crow's feet nnd tho freckles nnd moles
that stand out so promluontly. Then, after
nnother lnpso of a few days, tho finished
picture comes; tho hnrd linos havo boon
touched out; tho shadows havo been toned
down and softened, and tho wrinkles havo
been smoothed over. Then wo feel better
nbout It, decide that llfo will bo worth
living yet a llttlo while, nfter all. Tho
proof that enmo first Is tho cynic's report
of llfo; ho looks nt tho world as the sun
printed your plcturo on tho scnsatlvn plate,
with a frankness that Is cruel because It
Is only partially truo. His report Is literal,
material. Tho finished plcturo Is tho report
of love; It Bees something of the soul that
Is behind tho Imperfections; It lots shlno
tho larger life, and reveals tho soft, Ideal
light, as wo see tho sky aglow with tho
netting sun. Hownro of tho man who has
such regard for what he considers facts
that ho falls to seo tho broader, deeper
truth of lovo.
"lo Is essentially on enthusiastic
thing; thorn Is not a drop of acid In Its
blood. Its law demands that wo tako upon
our lives Just as much of tho load of othor
lives ar. wo possibly enn. Wo aro to be
tho servants of our follow man for Jesus'
Bake."
HUMANITY CAPTIVE TO SIN
Condition nf the Itnee l.lkenetl to the
Iloiulnue of the Ancient
HehreviH of llnhiiin.
Rev. A, C. Hirst of tho Klrst Methodist
church had for tho toplo of hln morning
sermon, "Tho Return of tho Ranomed."
Ho spoko from tho toxt, "And tho rnnsomcd
shall return and come to 'Ann with songs
nnd everlasting Joy upon their Hps." Isnlah
x, .15, He said In part:
"This declaration of tho prophet Isaiah
has for Its groundwork tho seventy years'
captivity of the Hebrows In Ilabylon. At
tho close of those weary years of exllo In
n heathen land tho happy people, 12,000 In
all, inarched forth from Dabylon and took
up their Journey to Jerusalem with songs of
gladness nt their deliverance.
"Humanity today U lu a captivity to sin
no less strong, no less galling than that
of the early Hebrews In Ilabylon. Wo are
held by tho lust of the flesh, by the desire
of tho eye. Wo are held In tho walls of
sin today ns closely as tho Hebrews were
held within the walls of Ilabylon. Human
ity tinregeneratcd Is llko an eyeless,
strcngthless .Sampson, Wo aro held by
doubts, by fear, by fnlse education. This
Is humanity In aptlvlty In the Dabylon of
sin.
"Human reason at Its highest flight can
not find Ood alone. Tho brightest minds
of every age nnd every nation havo tried
and failed. And yet tho heart longs for de
liverance from tho captivity of sin. Hut It
can only como through that sublime tragedy
of all nges. The emancipation of the an
cient Hebrews in Ilabylon, of tho white
slaves in Knglnnd, of tho serfs In Russia
and of tho black race In America wero sub
lime periods of the world's history. Hue
they sink Into Insignificance when compared
with (Jod's deliverance from sin. The ran
somed of tho I,ord nro coming from a va
riety of battlefields, a mighty procession of
(lod's hosts marching on to Zlon."
DUNDEE DEDICATES A CHURCH

Itrunliir I'lneo of Worship I"
the hiilmrli.
Tho Klrst I'rcsbyterlnn church of Dundee
was dedicated yesterday afternoon. This
building Is tho first to bo formally set
npnrt for religious services in the village
ami the services nttracted a largo number
of people, not ouly from tho suburb, but
from the city ns well.
In telling tho history of tho church nt
Dundee, Dr. Lamp of tho Theologlcnl scm
Innry, who has been connected with the
work from tho start, en Id that when tho
subject was first mentioned It was pur
posed to establish a union church, but
when that plnn was Investigated It was
found that It would bo Impossible, as tho
funds for such a church would havo to be
raised by local subscriptions entirely. It
was then decided that either tho Metho
dists or tho l'resbyterlnns, representing
numerically tho strongest sects In tho vil
lage, would have to build tho house of
worship. Tho former decided that tho time
was not opportunn nnd tho latter took tho
matter up. Application wax mado to tho
general board In New York nnd tho locnl
committee received 41,200 from that source.
Money was contributed by residents of the
villngo and the building formerly used by
tho congregation of tho Calvary Haptlst
church was purchased and removed to Dun
dee. The expense of tho removnl nnd tho
changes necessary In tho building created
an expense of about $3,G0O, of which $2,300
hnd been paid, nnd n debt of $1,200 re
mained At tho services yesterday afternoon nor.
T. V. Mooro of tho Westminster Presby
terian church presided. Dr. Allison of tho
Cnstellar Street Presbyterian church de
livered tho Invocation. After ft solo by
Miss Mason, Dr. Stevenson of tho Second
Presbyterian church ofTcrcd prayor. The
Dundee Harmony club snng an anthem nnd
then Hov. V. II. Jenks of tho First Presby
terian church delivered tho dedication
ncrmon.
Taking his text from Kings I, 21, he re
ferred to tho building of King Solomon's
temple, saying that tho Jewish service of
that day was typical of tho Christian re
ligion of today; that man's naturo has not
changed, and whtlo tho Christian has the
substanco where tho Jew had symbol, It Is
still necessary for men to associate to
gether In worship, as each may draw
utrcngth and courago from tho congrega
tion. Ho referred to tho templo worship
and tho contents, of tho different pnrts of
tho templo, saying that In tho early day,
when mnn had been but a short time called
from tho worship of Idols, It was necessary
to appeal to their sense of sight nnd har
mony to Impress upon their minds the
truths of revealed religion, This necessity,
said the speaker, has passed nway with the
progress of humanity, hut an It served
Its place then nnd mnn does not chango. It
Is still necessary to preservo nomo of the
outward signs. "Chrlstlnnlty," said tho
speakor, "Is based upon righteousness and
truth, but tho greatest of all of tho princi
ples of tho religion of Christ Is love." The
speaker congratulated tho congregation
upon securing tho building and said: "Hut
tho church Is not tho building. Tho church
Is In tho hearts of tho men nnd women
who hold tho principles of tho Christian
faith."
Dr. Draden, general pastor of tho Omaha
presbytery, then took chargo of tho meet
ing nnd secured pledges for the payment
of tho debt, which aggregated more than
$S00. Dr. D. E. Jenkins of tho Theological
seminary delivered tho dedlcntory prayer
and tho benediction was pronounced by
Dr. Lamp.
WORK OF THE GOSPEL WAGONS
Cnrry Work of tiirlMlnnl t- Into Sec
tion Otherwlnc InnceNnllile to
.MIxkIoii Worker,
Rev. K. A. nussell of Ord nnd Dr. E. M.
Stephenson of Philadelphia conducted n
service at Calvary Haptlst church yester
day morning In tho Interest of missions.
Rev. Russell Is tho Haptlst Sunday school
missionary for Nebraska, Wyoming nnd
upper Colorado, Dr. Stephenson Is Identi
fied with the publication depnrtment of tho
American Haptlst Publication society. The
two men will spend thirty days holding
meetings In tho Haptlst churches nt Ne
braska nnd Inaugurated their work with
services at Calvary church yesterday.
At the morning service Dr. Stophcnion
explained tho plnn of house-to-housn visi
tation which the Haptlst church has adopted
for uso In Bparsely settled districts and
mndo a plea for funds with which to on
largo tho homo mission work of tho church.
Six years ago Dr. Stephenson begnn mis
sionary work In northern Michigan. Ho so
cured a horse, and buggy and went into tho
pineries whero no Christian workor had
ever been. He soon had n missonnry wagon
made in which ho could llvo. This mndo It
possible for htm to carry nil sorts of re
ligious literature. Dr. Stephenson's plnn of
work proved no successful thnt tho Haptlst
church ordered other wagons nnd nt present
more than thirty gospol wagons nro In uso
by thnt denomination throughout tho United
States.
"Tho gospel wngou has brought light Into
homes which would nevor bavo been
reached by nny other plan," said Dr.
Stephenson. "It mndo It possible for re
ligious workers to go Into districts whero
thero wore no accommodations for them.
In states llko Arkansas and Texas tho gos
pel wagon Is proving especially successful.
Many wagons aro now being used In Texas
and others aro to bo brought Into service
In n Bhort tlmo, This now system of ovnn
gellzatlon has proved bo successful that It
promises to grow to enormous proportions,"
In discussing his work In Nebraska Rev
Russell said: "Tho state superintendent of
Nebraska has handed dowu u decision
which U of great Importance to home mis
slon workers. Ho hns decided that school
houses may bo used for religious services
with the consent of the dlroctors. This
makes It possible for the missionaries who
go Into sparsely settled districts to havo a
houso In which to hold tholr services. Our
colporter wagons go Into many districts
whire there aro no buildings other tbnn the
schoolhotue In which meetings can be hold
"Our gospel wagons canvass u district
surrounding n schoolhouso during the day
aud the mission workers hold services at the
school building In tho evening. Directors
who did not think that thero was a provi
sion of the stnto law which prevented tho
use of school buildings for religious pur
poses have usually allowed our workers to
hold meetings lu their school houses. The
ruling of tho state superintendent will make
It possible for us to work In many sections
of tho stnto which havo hitherto been un
touched."
FAITHFUL MEN ARE WANTED
I'rnlt of (iiHrni'ler Which Miiile lolui

"Tho Individualizing Power of Jesus'
Lovo" wns the subject of tho sermon
preuehed by Hov. K. H. Foster of tho Klrst
United Presbyterian church yesterday
morning. The text was tho words of John,
"One of tho disciples whom Jesus loved."
John xlll, 3.1.
John himself was this specially favored
disciple, nnd the thought of tho sermon was
a fathoming of what made him loved nbovo
tho rest. This, tho pastor snld, was his
trait of faithfulness. This one quality
more than nny other is whnt makes n mnn,
oven today, supreme. It Is what nil good
men In the world cry nut for nnd seek.
Staunchness, absnluto honesty nnd Integ
rity of purpose nnd unwavering determina
tion In pursuing It nro desired by nil ns tho
nttrlhutes of their nsslstnnts and associates.
It was tho possession of this characteristic
that placed John so high In Jesus' love.
Hut Christ loves all men with n great
love. He loves them enough to die for
them, although ho did not dlo for lovo of
all of them. Yet his willingness to havo
done so Is amply proven by many Incidents
of his life, on earth.
Still thero Is n lovo yet higher than this,
nnd John had It. Why? Hecnuso of his
faithfulness. When Jesus wns tnken nwny
captive to Jerusalem tho disciple hesi
tated nbout accompanying him, nnd most
of them did not do so. Hut Poter nnd John,
stung with remorse nnd shame, followed
their Master to the city. Once thero
Peter's courage failed him nnd ho stopped
In tho outer court, whero ho denied Christ
roon nftorwnrds. Hut John was steadfast
and went on In. Ho was present nt all tho
trlnls of Jesus nnd heard tho Lord's last
words, Ho was faithful nnd staunch to
the Inst.
Hut Just ns Jesus needed John's lovo so
did John need that of Jesus. Ho needed
It to maku htm tho grand cxnmplo that he
wns. Yet, despite tho high favor In which
he wan held no man today need envy John.
Any who will ho ns staunch will rccelvo In
nn equal degree tho lovo of Christ. That
this ono attribute Is tho most desired by
Jesus Is Indicated In his words, "Well done,
thou good and faithful servant."

"All this talk," said Councilman Ed
Johnston yesterday, "about Mayor Kelly and
myself visiting Oovernor Savage for tho
purposo of urging nn extra session In order
that tho South Omnha charter might ho
changed to prolong tho terms of the pres
ent city olllclals two years Is all bosh."
Continuing, Mr. Johnston snld: "Mayor
Kelly visited Llncolu for tho purposo of
looking Into tho library proposition nnd to
ascertain Just what conditions Mr. Cnrne
glo Imposed when ho donated $50,000 for a
library building nt Lincoln. While there
wo called upon tho governor nnd tnlked for
n moment nbout the proposed extra session.
We told the governor thnt if a rail was mado
for an extra session wo wished ho would In
cludn n couplo of amendments to tho South
Omnha charter. Ono of tho lmportnnt
amendments to bo considered Is the Increase
In the rate of Interest to bo pnld on general

So far this yenr wo have found It dltllrult
to dispose of South Omaha genornl bonds
nt 4 per cent. Hond buyers nre, however,
willing to tako tho securities nt G per cent.
Another chango which should bo made In
the charter is n section giving tho munici
