Conley, preached on tho subject, "The Church and Edu cation," taking as his text Proverbs lv:7, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting get understanding." A collection waa taken for the Baptlat college at Grand Island. . "Wisdom is not merely knowledge," said the pastor. "One may know a great deal may have a . college diploma or two, and still not be very wise. Wisdom Is a spe cial kind of knowledge. A wise man knows the true purpose and ends of' life and also knows what ends to employ to at tain thla end. Knowledge is power. Wis dom la power understood and properly di rected. It is the province of Christianity to bring wisdom into knowledge, to teach men the true end of life and how to at tain it.. Education la the training and de velopment of the powers of the soul, but all such training ahould be toward the highest enda; hence all education needa . the wisdom of the gospel. "The first duty is that of inspiration and incentive. There is a marked dif ference in homes In relation to education In some homes the children have no other thought than that they must go to school regularly and do faithful work, and thsy go right on naturally, planning for acad amy and college. In other homes the situ ation la entirely different. School is sub ordinated to other thloga. The children are Irregular In their attendance, drop out when their courae la only partially completed and have little or no thought for a higher education. It la a difference In the ideals and atmoaphere of the homes, It ia much the same witn churches. "Every church ought to stir up its young people to make the most possible of them elves. 1 The atmoaphere of the church ought to be charged with an Inspiration to worthy attainments. "There are Important reasons why the church ahould establish and maintain schools of a positively religious character, First, tha state doea not, and probably sever will undertake fully to meet the demands of higher education. A common view, of the atate university Is that it - la needed and that it ia an Integral part of our public school system but that all the state is called upon to do Is to make It certain that there shall be sufficient number educated in the higher branches to insure the highest good to Ttu Hk-Sar-Ben Excursion Which leavea Omaha next Tueaday for Dcadwood and the Hlack mils country, will do more for OMAHA than any excursion which ever left here THAT 18 THEIR LINK OK BUSINESS.

GOD) ROT A MERE ABSTRACTION. Rer. t C. Clarke Explalaa Hie Cob ceptloa of tke Dlety's Ffatar. Rev. L. C. Clarke of Belle Plain, la., yes terday preached at the First Methodist church upon the subject, "Jesus, the Re deemer of the World." "A great many people have the idea that Cod la some mysterious functionary, like the government af Washington, with little or no personality a aort of a vague ab straction without tangible form or being. That la a grave mistake. Ood Is a concrete, infinite being, Incarnated and therefore Im personated by the Son, Jesus Christ. He Is the Maker of our souls and the Father of our spirits; not that alone. He is the Re deemer of the world." The minister then portrayed Ood In' all His attributes, showing them to be not merely abstract forms and theories, but ab solute, tangible, eoncret . facta. His love, liberty and truth were all Incarnated. 'Abstractions are things that can be read ily comprehended . aad analysed, " without profound substance. Who can fathom the depth of, that boundless love Which led the Father to give the Son on Calvary for the redemption of mankind T Could liberty be appreciated without the glorious triumphs which have marked the progress of free Christendom T Could ' even Amerlcsns aa thoroughly understand and as keenly feel the great meaning of that sublime word without the revolution before theraT Who can say that truth ia not incarnate. Infinite and eternal f "This is God. But to know Ood we must think of Him, of His purposes, commune with Him and live with and Cor Htm. No assimilation waa possible without assocla tlon. "The glory of relationship with God la the power that brlnge v fnte fellowship with Him," said Mr. Clarkev "This is a point too often misunderstood. (Fellowship of His sufferings did not Imply mutual phys ical pain or suffering, which mistaken theory often leads to a sort of useless melancholy in Christian, service, but HU children must suffer because of ein. If they would thus come Into fellowship with Him, who,. Incar nated in the Son, died because of sin and for the atonement of alU Bin was the dart that pierced the heart of Ood and every true Christian, Hht follower." til. Siocps It Vp.

The question of an excursion to Wash ington to attend the annual encampment of the national organization of the Grand Army of the Republlo la being discussed among the members of 'that society in this city. The encampment will not be held until October, but arrangements will prob ably be completed for a. Nebraska ex cursion a month prevloua to that time. Bald a member of the society) We had six carloads of Nebraskans at the encampment at Cleveland, but expect to have many more at Washington. There are more soldiers of the Army of the Potomao in Nebraska than of any other division of the army, and the session to be held at the national capital will give them an opportunity to visit the acenee of their army experience. We will uae considerable caution in aelectlng the line over which we will travel and will ascer tain which route will take us over the greatest part of the country over which the Army of the Potomac operated. If we can secure an attendance sufficient we 111 run a special train and have atops made at stations near the battlefields, of the army ao that we can make short ex cursions to those places. Wsahlngton Is replete with Interest to the old sol dier of the Army of the Potomac. ' Within easy travel almost every famous battle by that army wae fought Wo should have at least 200 In attendance from this state and will start the work of arranging the excursion In time to permit all to make arrangements to go." The atate encampment will be .held at Hastings in the latter part of .September and a large delegation from Douglas county will be present.

ACCUSES GOVERNMENT OF BAD FAITH laslata that Withdrawal of Sapperl from Deaoialaatloaal AanooateeV to m Break of Treaty Okli satloas with tko ladlaae. . At 6t John's Cathollo church Sunday morning Rev. Aloyslus Bosch, 8. J., head of the Catholic mission of the Rosary, at Pine Ridge reservation, spoke on the sub ject of Indian missions and the necessity for Individual support of those missions. He said in part: Before entering upon a discussion of the subject I will give a brief history of the Rosary mission. It was established In 1888 at the Pine Ridge reservation as a eon tract school. The government at that time authorized the building of the achools.by the church and appropriated money for their support. This mission waa built by a member of the Drexel family of Philadel phia, then Miss Catherine Drexel, , now Mother Catherine, head of an order which baa for its object the spread of the faith among the negroes and Indians. The sup port promised by the government continued for about eight years, when, beginning in 1895, that support was gradually withdrawn. The last step in taking support from the former contract schools was when an at torney of the United States made a ruling that no rations should be supplied to In dian children who attend Cathollo schools. This law and this rule is unjust. The Cath olic people of the United Statea pay . the taxes as well as other citizens. We find that the word 'non-sectarian' has been coined to conceal an attack upon the Cath ollo schools on the, Indian reservation. In the government schools tne teacners give religious training to the calldren, hold prayer meetings and In some cases Prot estant preachers visit the schools and gtve Instruction. This Instruction is said to be undenominational, but its effect can be aeen from the fact that of forty Catholic chil dren who attend the government school and draw rations but one boy and two girls are found who go to confession. ' " Blow to tho Mlesloa. 1 ' Taking the rations from the Catholic children was a blow to us from which we have not recovered. It makes H necessary for the school to provide food for the pu pils. We now have 108 pupils enrolled, six teen sisters and two fathers at the Rosary mission. We have to kill annually about 125 steers to provide food for them, with vegetables and groceries In proportion. Since the government aid has been with drawn the support of these schools and these pupils falls entirely upon the Cath ollo population of the country. To sup port these schools the archbishops of the country organized a society which ,has for Its object the preservation of the faith among the Indians. The annual dues to this society from the members is 25 cents per year. It costs approximately $125,000. to maintain the twenty-five Indian schools at the different reservations in the United States. In order to draw this amount from the society there would have to be 400,000 members. We have In ' fact about : 50,000 members, which shows without further words the necessities of the case. Our only revenue comes from a comparatively small amount set aside by Mother Catherine and the donatlona received. The general sec retary of the society writes me that there are practically no funds in the treasury, The Rosary mission. In addition to a debt of $2,600, which is not troublesome, ' must p7 $1,600 by October 1, and I must have r.ome money on hand when the school opens. Thla it tha reason for my visit here today, N Hope for a Chaage. "For all of the injustice of withdrawing the rations from the Cathollo Indian chll dren we can look for no change In this condition, for the president of the1 United States, usually so Just in all of his views and actions, can see no . injustice in this, and hla advisers are all opposed to any change. The withdrawal of rations is really breach of the treaty with the Indians, for they were assured that they ahould have rations when their lands were taken. The law says that no support shall be given Indians not in achoola authorised by the government, and this has been held to Include the Cathollo achoola, but an in vestigation will ahow that these schools were authorized by the government at the time of their construction or subse quent thereto. "Tha claim la made that the Indian ,1s not worthy of civilization. He is said to be laxy, to be a thief,' a drunkard and, to have a lax view of the marriage bonds. The policy of the United States has made the Indian all of these things. It, would do the same with a white man. .Take any man and tell him that you will feed, him and clothe him In the way he Is accus tomed to, regardless of . any productive labor oa hla part, and aee If he will not become Idle. After giving him all things he requires tell him to work and see how much work he will do. It the Indian is thief he can point to treaties broken by the white men and land taken from him by fraud and violence. The example would be enough to make any man a thief. If he la a drunkard, someone supplied the liquor. As to hla laxity in regard to marriage, take the atatistlcs of the divorce courte of the United States to say nothing of tho Mor monsand let the comparison be made. - Not a Pleasaat gtatloa. "It la not pleasant work upon the reser vation. The days spent la the camps of Indiana where dog soup ia the chief ar ticle of food, of sick-calls over hundreds of miles of territory made when the ther mometer Is 38 degrees below sero; . of trouble with swollen streams In the spring and Icebound land In the wlner; suffering not only personal inconvenience and peril, but the Indifference of squawmen and In dian alike. But we are there, cheerfully, because we have been sent. You, know how Father Juts of the Society, .of Jesus, my predecessor at the mission, went Into the hostile camp and brought into the lines of the United States the rebel chiefs during the last Sioux uprising. You re member that Father Craft,' a priest, waa almoat fatally Injured by a knife thrust at the battle of Wounded Knee, and how when authorized by Slgnleur Stephan to leave our mission and take refuge within the American lines our missionaries atayed within the school, surrounded by warring soldiers and within view of the burning government buildings. Even so close aa Omaha the work of the missionary priests among the Indians Is little known. You know and appreciate your missionaries, but do not understand his work. "The Catholics are behind in the mat ter of raising funds. Other societies with leas membership raise much more money. The Cathollo population of the -United States must support its mission schools if the faith ia to be perpetuated among tha Indians. You must not let that talUr be extinguished."

It is the custom of the president of the board to keep the Insurance policies effec tive upon the contents of the library. When he received the bills for- the renewal pre miums a week ago President Lewis 8. Reed saw that' the rate had been advanced 25 per cent and demurred to the bill. He laid the matter ' before other members of the board' and each was ready to atand by htm In his protest, even to the point of drop ping the policies and carrying their own In surance. ; The matter was presented to the rate bureau and the manager Informed that the board would not atand for tbe advance. He was told that the current report was to the effect that the 25 per cent advance promul gated only applied te mercantile risks and that the contents of the public library were not merchandise In any sense of the word. Tbe manager took tbe matter under con sideration and aooa answered that a mistake had been made by one of tbe clerks, and the new policies are being written at the same rate as of old. .-".'
