TIIE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, FEBIUIAItY 10, 1003. i FOOLISHNESS OF- PREACHING Be?. Herring Explain? Meaning of Strange Scriptural Clause. PULPIT COMES WITH CHRISTIANITY Its Imeortanre- Mnrte t lear la the Oat line of the Apostolle Program ' for Spreading; Swtr fioaprl. "The Foolishness of rreaching" the theme of Rev. Hubert C. Herring's sermon t the first Congregational church yester day morning. He argued that preaching la not foolish, but of very (jrrat Importance. The Epistle to the Corinthians, wherein Paul says "It pleased God by the foolish ness of preaching to save those that be lieved, supplied him with the groundwork for his remarks. "The Importance of preaching la clearly set forth In the outline of the apostolic program for spreading the gospel over the world," aald the pastor. "It la clear to me and to every one else,. I think, that preach ing to a .collective body of persons waa Intended to be the main defense and means for propagating tbo Christian truths. In the program of the' a-ostollc activity there U room left for other agencies such as prayer and the pen. But the Importance of preaching la emphasized, and history shows that the Christian religion la the only one that spread from heart to heart and from land to land In this way. When Christianity was born the pulpit came Into existence, Its Rise and Partial Fall. "In the early days of the church preach ing stood foremost and a number of great preachers such as Ambrose and Augustine and others . came v Into existence. Later there waa tendency to reduce preaching to a minor consideration and today we find It so In the Greek, .Roman and soma of the Episcopal forms of worshlr.. On the other hand, the aiass of evangelical Protestant churches make preaching a predominant factor. If one la to pasa Judgment on the two forms he must either declare as did the scoffers of Paul's day aa to the 'foolish ness of preaching or be must ask as Paul did, 'What do you call the foolishness of preaching?' ' "I do not believe In preaching simply be cause I am a preacher. I believe In it bo cause I believe that man Is to come to his Inheritance by the largest use of bis best faculties, and speech Is the marked faculty of the human race. By speech conscious of Itself and with definite aim t great many men, at least, are destined to achieve their greatest power. "By contrasting the accedance of the races that use public speech with) the de csdence of those who do not, we must ad mit Its value. Public speaking Is altogether unknown In the Orient. In England and In this country seems Impossible for A num ber of men to assemble without one of them being called upon or seeming to feel himself called upon to air his views. In my opinion public speaking has a scope and significance that we do not dream of. It should be cultivated and fostered and kept to the front, not only In the church but In all walks of life." he bad lost Ma reputation and power, bad lost himself to self-Indulgence. . . "Man can neglect the high purposes and religious Impressions which Ood mikes In him and lose all desire for good things, tbe Joys of his spiritual life. The most sensi tive thing In the world Is conscience. Quiet It, plsce It in subordinate position, you lose your power and wake up to find yourself shorn of your strength. So we must return to the, Christian element and Intellect and follow them closely to retain It." I FFl I.SF." OP APOSTI.B ANDREW. RT. f the ROCKEFELLER IS XO , EXAMPLE. Teaching Bandar School Doesn't Make Him a Sample Christian. "The coal baron or the coal oil baron who teaches a Sunday school class one day In the week and grinds tbe facea of Ihe poor elx days In the week la no ex nmple of Christianity," declared Rev. A. S. C. Clark at tbe Lowe Avenue Presby terian church yesterday morning, in tbe course of a sermon on "Self-Preservation and Self-Bacrlflee." Tbe minister took for his text tbe words: "He can save others; Himself He cannot save," which were derisively hurled, at Christ on the cross by the rabid mob. ' Mr. Clark interpreted this aa a vulgar banter, calculated to turn Christ from the performance of the greatest and aubllmest deed In history to the little Bullish act of cowardice of saving Himself. "But, while Christ could have come down from the cross and saved His life, while His death on the crosa was a voluntary act, while He did -not have to perform that terrible deed, yet He could not have saved mankind had 'He shrunk from it. And so, In Christ, self-sacrifice rose above self preservation. Tbe result Is, man has a way of aalvatlon and that salvation is free. Had the human Impulse dominated Christ He would have com-? down from the crosa In response to these taunting Jeers hurled at Him. Even the strongest of humans give way to self-preservation rather than aclf-sacrlflce." In line with this' thought, as it relates to the great apherea of wealth and labor, Mr. Clark made Ala allusion to John D. Rockefeller. . He .believed arbitration waa an element of self-sacrifice, and as such could and should be more generally prac ticed In tbe affairs, of labor and capital Arbitration waa as old aa the world and waa enunciated by Christ Himself. If al lowed to govern more generally, he believed strikes and violent disputes between the employer and employe would become things of tbe past. Clssell It Was Proper Sort. "The Business Msn and His Religion" was the theme of Rev. Clyde Clay Clssell at Hanscom Park Methodist church Sunday morning, the text being John 1, 42. He aald in part: "Andrew, the apostle, is one of the he roes of the scripture, nrt becauae be had, a magnificent opportunity to distinguish hlmBelf In some prominent role, but a hero in the insignificant things which maae up the sum of human life a man who bad one chance and, taking It, made a glorious success. Andrew as a business man a fish dealer, 'an employer of labor In bis visits to the cities surrounding - the sea where he went to sell his goods,, met men of cul ture and learning, so there is no reason to believe that he was an Ignorant man, em ployed in a menial occupation. He waa a busy man, and it Is always tbe busy man w,ho does work for the kingdom of Ood. There are few who are given hours of idleness who are found at work for the ex tension of the kingdom of Christ. "In this text we go bsck to the founda tion of the church like tracing the stream to Its source. We find all the essentials of Christianity In the hands of twelve men men little known and of 1'ttle in fluence tbe kind of follower that Ood selects to do His work. Christ might have found more profound philosophers at Athens or Alexandria, but as aver He took the material at hand and by widening their sphere touched other- powers which will make the gospel world-wide. . We know little ot Andrew. He comes Into tbo lime, light of publicity for a moment and then disappears. He came Into -contaot with Jesus through a sermon, and when he had realized that Jesus wes. tbe Christ he ran to his brother, Simon, and told him about the newly-arrived Lord.' He was not a preacher, not a man of great ability, but he knew where to find one, and brought to Christ Simon Peter, a man Whose Influ ence during the early year of the church waa greater than that Ot any other.' His method waa personal and intense, the scriptural method of "bringing aouls to Ood. Ood works through then, and If men are not willing to do God's work, it must remain undone for the time. If we of-the latter years displayed tbe energy t the Chris. Mans of tbe .early centuries, tbe world would have been evangelised long ago, for each of the early Christians felt a per. sonal duty to be performed In proclaiming tbe truths of the goupe! "and saving souls. "Andrew might save followed. tbe Lord and left Peter to' ' conduct ' the, business. That Is the wsy many Christian do these days, but he felt that, he must call Peter to the Lord. There . are many persons In the church today who have, a duty to per form in looking tor that ' -brother whom they may call t the Lord, ind there can be no excuse offered .which 111 be accepted In the day of Judgment for the failure to call these soul to the truth.". - ' SAMSO mtiUESTI THE THEME. Rev. Jenka lees the Shorn Strong, Man aa an ISsaiuttle. "The Man Who Would and Couldn't" was the subject of a sermon delivered by Rev. Edwin H. Jenks of the First Preabyterlan church Sunday morning, tho same being bastd upon the perfidy of Samson, who waa shorn ot his strength and power because of his forgetfulness of bis Lord. Rev. Jenks took for his text Judges xvl, 20: "And she said, 'The Philistines be upon thee, Samson.' And be awoke out of his sleep and said, 'I will go out aa at other tlmea before, and, shako myself.' And he wist not that the Lord waa departed from him." "Though the strongest man, physically, in the world at that time, Samson waa also portrayed In the text as the weakeat. Endowed by (Vd with great capabilities, by self-Indulgence he lost that power. So to day," the paator said, ''the most pitiable ot all men is he who Is equipped to do great things, but fulls In his accomplish inent. The truth that our sins will find us out la the law of physical being. One has but to visit the madhouaea and asylums to sos how nature square the accounts with sin. So, In mental characteristics, men who arc able, capable, and have tbs talent, often fall. They think that they will accomplish, aucceed, but they waste their great qualifications and .wist not that their power departs from them.

Methodist Paator Talks of Retarns aa God's Investments., j At the First Methodist church Sunday morning Rev. B. Comble Smith spoke en "The Forfeited Talent," taking tor bis text the verse that says, "Take from him the pound." ' " . He spoke of tbe seeming hardness of this speech a coming from the lips of the kindest of masters and yet the righteous, ness of It. He said: "It- is one of Ood' law that there must be a return for every Investment, whether tangible or intangible, and there Is no fitter example Ot this law than that ot nature, which continually pro duces, no matter how adverse "tbe circum stances. Whether it be in lower planes or In the higher psychic levels, the samo eternal principles are In force. If some thing be given and not made use of, it Is taken away from us gradually. Our senses and proclivities are lnveatment that grow with usage and atrophy with disuse. The senses of sight, smell and hearing in early man were very acute, but with his mental advancement and changed conditions they were depended upon less and less until they became no more than ordinary. "The mind of man has developed and he has made great advances in science, but far more wonderful than the abstract tan gible advances I that new feeling that make It possible for him to see and hear God, in all ot nature' handiwork in a mul tifold universe." HALL PRODS THeT PUBLIC Venator from Donglas . Doesn't Con alder There Haa Beea Saflcleat Expression on Legislation. Senator Hall, chairman of the senate com mittee on Judiciary, has been inatructed by that committee to prepare a bill which has for its purpose changing tbe form ot tbe official ballot so that all constitutional amendmenta presented to tbe people for adoption shall appear on tbe ballot at the top instead of the bottom. Discussing this change tbe senator, who. spent Sunday In Omaha, aald: . 'It haa been found that no eonstltutionsl amendment submitted to the people was ever defeated by a positive vote, but that practically all have failed by the failure of the voter to record themselves on the question at all. This has led the members of -the committee . to believe that .the amendments have not been brought promt nently enough before the voter at the time they were casting their ballots, .as thesn amendments are now placed at the bottom of the ticket, where thsy are not seen. It is questioned that the law count ing as votes for an amendment all straight party votes caat for a ticket nominated in a convention which has adopted, the proposed amendment as a part of its plat form Is not constitutional, and it Is this condition that we propose to correct by the amendment." . . i .. Speaking upon the amendment to the Omsha charter which are .expected to bo passed at this term, the senator aald: "I wlah there could be some method adopted of getting a general expression on the part 'of Omaha people on these amend ments. We all hoped something would be dona by the mass meeting recently, but these questions were referred to commit tees and we hav not heard from the com mlttea yet. Some things .In the charter should be chauged and w believe tbat the heada ot city departments should show us what changea tuey believe to be necessary and the reasons, so w can havs an Intelli gent Idea of tbe subject. We have heard a lot about house roll 171 and w are all for it. but about other thing ot great importance we have heard nothiag." May Vet He Saved. .

TOO GOOD TO BLACKHAWR Fiona Appearing Mr. Eicki Puts Jailed Indian Off Watch. SMUGGLES LIQUOR PAST THE SHERIFF When Depatr Marshal Allan Calls far Hla Prlaoaer at Pender He Finds Hint Deyad to the World. : Daniel Blackhawk of Pender has toyed again with the fire water of the pale face and now languishes In county Jail, "another Daniel come to Judgment." He was brought In by Deputy Marshal James Allan and with him came a tale of woe and of mis placed confidence. Daniel l a full-blood Indian, built like a pumping derrick and posaessed of a ca pacity tbat would be the pride and envy of any colonel In all Kentucky. From hla Ire, a distinguished chief;, he Inherited n proud name and a regal, seven-days-s-week thirst, which latter started him on the downward road and haa had him moving right along ever since hla tenth birthday. Finally be got to accommodating friends and became a master of the gentle art of bootlegging, very popular among some of the best people of his tribe, who prefer It to ping-pong or other social diversion. Four times he ha been detected by the United States officer and four time he ha had to come to Omaha or go to Sioux Falla to "do time." Hicks a Whlted Sepalcher. Upon this last occasion he was taken flrtft to the Thurston county Jail at Pendar by Deputy Allan, there to await the pleas ure of Commissioner Sloan. Then appeared the caae of misplaced confidence. The Thurston Jail haa but two cell and they are Just off the sheriff's office and easily reached by the visiting public. The visit ing public drops In to see the sheriff when ever It likes and talks with any prisoners through the bars as long as it pleases. Tuesday, among the visitors was one H. D. Hicks, a modest, pious-appearing little man with an old frock coat and a clergyman's smile. Mr. Hicks waa welcome because he appeared to be one who could do the wicked good and he did do them good. He got two round dollars from Daniel Blackhawk and brought back to Daniel two flat flask which he shoved beteween the bars when the sheriff wasn't looking. Daniel put oue flask under the blanket on his bunk,- and the contents of the other flask under hi belt. In about two minute he began . to have Ideas and things, and he made a speech tbat Jarred windows in the adjoining township. . The sheriff saw what had happened, but concluded there was nothing to do but wait It out. He didn't know Daniel had a second bottle until Daniel had emptied It. ' Then he found It out tight away, for Daniel fell asleep so soundly asleep that there was no waking htm. Too' Mach for Allan. Deputy Allan reappeared. Re wanted hi prisoner and he wanted him In time for the next train. Tbe sheriff told James to go take htm and. James went. He called. No answer. He shook him. No movement. He punched him. No defense. He poured water on him. Not a quiver. ' He wrestled. snd tussled., and fussed and reproached and finally gave it up. ' ' Then he started an Investigation.- He had everybody on the carpet without learn ing what he wanted -to know. 'Twenty four hours later Daniel '"came to.'- When he waa able to sit up and notice thing he told James about the mild-eyed little Mr. Hicks and the mystery was cleared up. But Mr. Hick had cleared out. Allan looked for him all around the premises, but he w not to be found. If he had been found he might have fared even more seri ously than did George Miller., who accom modated thirsty witnesses at the federal building recently and was given fifteen months In prison therefor. But as it is, Blackhawk is the only one . to suffer. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TO GO Will Make Their Visit ta Slow City Heat Saadart Instltatlaa; . New Chapter. Members of the Omaha chapter. Knights of Columbus, will go to Sioux City next Sundsy, where a chapter of tbe order will be Instituted. There waa to have been a meeting last night-to arrange the trip, but becauae of small attendance - it waa decided to call a meeting tor Wednesday evening, when tbe party will be formed. A special train bearing knights from .Galea burg and other, points In the state of Il linois will Join the Omaha knights on the trip and members of the order will be present from all parts of the west.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES Vaudeville at the t'relahtoa-Orphenm. Several new names greet the patron of the Creigbton-Orpheum this week, and along with tbe new name come new stunta. The old familiar people who are In th bill also have new acts, so that the whole program la one ot entertaining novelty. It I diversified, too, though to say that two of the acta are mualcal and two are athletic would not give this impression. Creasy and Dane, well known here, have the place of honor on the bill. They are presenting a new sketch, written by Mr. Cresay In his own peculiar style, but in many ways an Improvement on former work. It is quiet In tone, but Intensely dramatlo and with a pleasant mingling of comedy and pathos. It was very well received yeaterday. Miss Edith Helena, down on the bill as "the highest soprano In the world," deserves better or tbe advertising man. She Is fsr from being "high;" on the contrary, she Is rather Inclined to be petite, and Is. de cidedly pretty and winsome in her ways on' the stage. She has a voice of great range and purity, which ahe uses with ex cellent taste. The songs she gave yester day are those calculated to best exhibit the sweet tones and remarkably flexibility of ber voice, although she does not attempt any vocal gymnastics. Her clear, flute-like notes are distinct and melodious, even st the top of her flight, and her modulations sre such a delight the critical listener, for she ha auch control that the highest note I taken with no apparent effort, the voice reaching the climax by a ateady, even rise that seems so easy that one would almost be Justified In doubting the result were not his ears against his eyes. Miss Helena got a much more enthusiastic reception than is usually accorded a classic singer by a Sunday audience. Zacell and Vernon are not only a little the best pair of horizontal bar performers seen here this season, but they are also tip-top fun makers. Their work is all new and all worth watching. Wood and Bates do a funny musical turn with different lnstrumenta, and Lizzie Wil son is ery amusing in her single-handed effort. The three Livingstons do some good acrobatic work, introducing some novelties. "Black Pattl" at the Boyd. .Something of the zero weather seemed o have permeated , the audience at the Boyd last night, for the effort of the Black Pattl company did not arouse any tre mendous outburst of applause. This fact should not be counted agalnat the company, though, for it haa some good material, and all hands worked hard. John Rucker Is a clever comedian and In the first part gives an excellent Imitation of an old darkey and the laughaole difficulties Into which he gets through his desire to have his own way and pay no attention to euperstlttons. He has able assistants, too, and the singing and dancing with which the part abounds Is up to the mark. The second part of the performance gives Mme. SisBeretta Jones, the "Black Pattl," a chance to show her powerful soprano voice In operatic selec tion. Mme. Jones is aaafsted in this by some carefully selected 'voices, and the scenes they give are well rendered. Some excellent 'specialties are Introduced in this part. x.

In fact he Is afraid they are are going a good ways. , The whole west is cold and last evening it waa' snowing in Chicago, where It waa eight degrees below zero, and also at Davenport. Elsewhere the air was clear. North. Platte and Valentine were as cold a. Omaha. Cheyenne was aeveral de grees warmer, while Denver snd Pueblo were : better still by several pollts. At WUUston, N. D.. tbe mercury had sunk to 30 degrees below the differentiating mark last night, while at Bismarck. It had dropped to 22 and at Huron to 12. Here la Omaha the deviation from out-of-door ' comfort - began at 4 o'clock Sat urday afternoon, when the registration was twenty-two degrees to the good. At 5 o'clock Sunday morning seventeen points had been loat and from T to 10 the highest altitude Of : the quicksilver was one degree. It crawled to three degrees at S o'clock, but started on it downward career again and at o'clock wa minus one degree, ac cording to the official reports. Small hope are offered for warmer weather today. A Serioas Mistake., To tbe average msn it seems childish to doctor a cold, and unless It become par ticularly annoying to him llule or no atten tion I given 'it. Often a cold contracted in the winter 1 allowed to run until the open ing of spring. This is a grave mistake, as even though tbe warm weather may bring relief, the system Is thereby weakened and rendered susceptible to . dlsesse. A cold should never be' neglected, whetheiMt be a child or an adult who is afflicted, as health snd often life la risked. ,A bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, costing but a small amount, will bring speedy relief and all dangerous consequences will be avoided. .

A fine muscular development powerful arms and legs, broad shoulders, sinewy back and well-developed chest rarely comes of itself. It is a matter of self -development. Plenty of exercise, and regular rub-downs with Omega Oil, will put almost any man in the possession of a fine physique. Jeffries, Fitzsimmons, Ruhlin, Shar key, Corbett, McCoy, Kid Carter, Young Corbett, McGovern, and every other ' pugilist that amounts to anything, all use Omega Oil as a rub-down. If you want to know what bicyclists say about Omega Oil, (ask Frank Kramer, M ajor Taylor, Jimmy Michael, Harry Elkes, or Bobby Walthour. Ask any famous baseball player, any ts Omega Oil Is food for everything M uscSes famous jockey, any successful football player, any college athlete, what his favorite rub-down is, and he will tell you Omega Oil. These are good, honest, straightfor ward facts, without any strings to them. Nobody was ever paid a cent for indors ing Omega Oil. It does its own work so well that an athlete has to use it, or fall back in the procession. Take any sort of exercise you please, but be sure to use Omega Oil as a rub down afterwards. It freshens the muscles, strengthens them, removes stiffness and soreness, and gives a man great endurance, so he can run or walk or jump or ride or fight, if need be, without getting tired easily.
