ANDREWS ON SACRED EDUCATION i- State (onirnnrc rartlelriated In l Many rbrakn Ihlnhera bcnfrnl fm from Liui oln. (From a Stsff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 5. (Special.) Clergy men, educttori and students gathered In this city today to participate Id the Ne braska conference In the Interest of re ligious education. Th- meeting la being beld under the auspices of the University of Nebraska and the Lincoln Pastors' a--aoclatlon. Persons came In response to the call from many points throughout the etate and today entered upon tbelr work With much enthusiasm. The conference will conclude lta deliberations tomorrow evening. Today's sessions v.ero held In the First Congregational church. The opening address of the conference was delivered by Chancellor Andrews, win began his remarks by saying it was nit his purpose to anticipate any discussion that might tak place, but only to outline some of the thoughts, which, so far as he could discover, had led the members to convene. "I take no part In tba Joust; I am simply the herald, ringing the bell to give notice that the Joust Is on," de clared the chancellor. "And let not th a polemic figure of the 'Joust frighten any. We are not here to fight, but to reason together. Further, though we have met to discuss we have not met to discuss re ligious doctrine. On the substance mat ter of that we differ perhaps Ires than we think, perhaps more." Tha chancellor thought that however far apart the members of the conference might be at certain points the gathering would certainly be quite illogical were they not as one In at least the single conviction, that there is a reality to religion. Reality of Religion. "We vary In our statements of that re ality, both In general and in detail, and ,there may be differences of view touching tha degree of lta importance," said he, "but with one vole and heart we main tain that religion is real, not a chimera. , not a chance survival from lower stages of human development. The assumption that religious teachers have aomethlng yet to learn regarding the beat modes of inculcat ing their beliefa involves no admission that they have hitherto been or are at present altogether astray. In the nature of the caae review and revialon of the methods employed In teaching religion must from time to time be Imperative. "A curious and interesting illustration of this need, showing how religious nomenclature, at least, must from time to time be reinterpreted, connects itself with the theological conception of sov ereignty, meaning that power legislative and executive in a government from which there can be no appeal. In th,e days of absolute royal sovereignty when men like Buchanan, Jurieu, Hooker and Hobbes dis coursed upon this conception, it was easy to ascribe sovereignty to the Supreme Being without derogating from blm any moral attribute. Political sovereignty waa then almost universally considered to attach to aome man, a king, or woman, a queen, who because sovereign, could do no po litical wrong any more than our supreme court now can render an illegal decision. "At present, however, this is changed. The. intelligent throughout the world ascribe sovereignty to the total people and regard it Insufferable for any individ ual to arrogate this to himself, so that to ascribe sovereignty to Ood Inevitably makes most men hate Instead of revere him, an effect to be obviated only by a rather severe schooling In the history of political conceptions." Slighting of Sunday School. In conclusion the chancellor said: "The cessation by so many parents of efforts to render their children sanely religious might .have been expected to evoke at tempts at the betterment of Sabbath school Instruction. Such attempts are making now, but, I fear, with Indifferent success. As this subject will be formally presented at one of the aesslons, I touch it here only to deprecate the Inclination of some who would improve Sabbath school teaching to ecularlze and Intellectually this, dealing with dates, authorship, analysis, geography, criticism, and slighting the moral and re ligious content of the literature studied. Information of the sorts named is needed especially for superintendents and teachers also for normal classes, which should be kept up to insure supply of good teachers but the mere mental apprehension of pre cious literature and history will never in terest the masses and would do them little good, even if It Interested them. "Two questions of moral moment obtrude themselves In considering those religious mustertnga of young people by themselves which are so fashionable now. First, is it well that young people should be thus aharply segregated from their seniors, forming, as it were, a minor Imperlumr a synagogue of children, in the religious communltyT I conceive that many are an swering this query in the negative and that few Indeed regard it as undebatable.

Coursey Richards was this afternoon sentenced to twelve years' Inprisonment at bard labor In the state penitentiary, for assaulting his 12-year-old stepdaughter. Marie Magdanlz. The man is 62 years old and will begin serving his sentence within the next thirty days. The Jury that found Richards guUty recommended a light sen tence, but Judges Holmes took a different j view of the case. Addressing the prisoner Judge Holmes said: In fixing the sentence I have taken into consideration the recommendation of the Jury to mercy, at your age, 62 years, and the fact that this Is probably the last time you will ever be charged with this effect. It Is fortunate for you that you live in a community where the people bide their time and give the courts the opportunity to deal with offenders like you. You would have found cold comfort In the place to which you fled had they known of your crime." Rlcharda cried piteously for mercy and finally with an upward sweep of his arm declared, "I never harmed the girl, so help me Ood." High School Athletes.

UNPLEASANT INCIDENTS MAR THE MATCH Differences Over Rnllna;a of Officials Develop Into Ronajh Work, and Hanson la Disqualified for Slossln;. The Omaha Young Men'a Christian asso ciation basket ball team definitely settled lta superiority over the men from the Lin coln association last night by defeating the visitors In the local gymnasium by a acore of 35 to 12. This is the third game these teams have played this season and rivalry has been intense from the start, growing keener after each contest. Omaha won the first game here by a score of 27 to 19. Then the Omaha team went to Lincoln and was defeated by a large acore. Now Omaha has won the third game carrying the state championship. Unpleasant incidents marred last night's match. Because of differences over rulings of the officials, rivalry developed into ani mosity and aome rough work was done on both aides. Finally In the second half Hanson, center for the Omaha team, was disqualified for slugging and McElmeel put In his place. .Fouls for rough play were called several times. The Lincoln team was greatly crippled by the absence of its former captain, W. E. Andresen,- who has left the game re cently. He la a wonderful forward, and though his successor. Woods, is a good man, he has not the experience behind him that Andresen bad. Each half was greatly in the Omana boys' favor. Captain Jardeen and Osborne were th star offensive players for Omaha, throwing four field goals each. Jardeen, too, though he had a bad ankle, was the strongest de fensive player of his team. For Lincoln no one loomed up prominently. The visitors were plainly not on thetr gam. Omaha made sixteen points in the first half; Lin coln, five. In the second Omaha scored nineteen more; Lincoln, seven. As preliminary games the second local association team defeated the working men's team by 12 to 10 in one flfteen-mlnuta halt and then lost to tba Omaha High school team by a score of to 6 la another half. A good crowd witnessed the con tests. The lineup and summary of the main event follows: OMAHA-35 lirlMi tO R FL r... Osborna h KIR F... K.n.oo. McElmall Or...,. C. Wtllart RGLO.., O.
