Delivering- the Lord's Mnum Sot

Rev. E.I win Hart Jcnks, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, took for his text
yesterday morning, Phllllplana ii, 12:
"Working Out Our Salvation." Hp said:
"Salvation la not thn work of a day, hut
of a lifetime. I' la not some chance de
clalon, that may be reallied upon at a mo
ment's choice. A man says: 'I would like
to be a merchant,' and may presume that
from the mere BBkinK that I: la desire Is ac
complished with the Incidental accessories
of his trade. But ask some successful
merchant, and he will tell you that to reach
success In mercantile affairs Involves long
years of patient work, beginning at the
very bottom of apprenticeship and climbing
upward through the successive stages, be
fore he can say 'I am a merchant.' It Is
so with the professions, particularly that
of the law and of the ministry. Before one
Is fit to enter upon the career of a min
ister he should have spent a lifetime In de
votion and study. The men In the pulpits
hould be the white-haired ones, whese
Uvea have been spent In devotion and Chris
tian work. What does a boy know about
preaching? In the law, that king of pro
fessions, a man must be drilled by years
of study to reach the acme of his ambi
tion. I mean the good, clean lawyer, not
the pettifogger.
" 'You must work out your jwn salva
tion' says the apostle. It can only be ac
complished by soul cultivation, by the ex
perience of life. You have united with the
church, but that Is only the beginning. It
It like the crude ore. or the silkworm's co
coon Is to the finished, burnished steel or
flowing, beautiful silk. The true, devoted
Christian Is the finished product of the
avangcllat's or revivalist's convert. Every
man must make the most and best of him
self. It Is a case, of Individual responsi
bility. Work out salvation for yourself.
Aspire to become the best you are capable
of. God wants man to make himself all he
can."
REV, MA!V IIAXISIIKS TIIK I1KVII,.
Holds that ftatan Han Dren Cast Oot
by Evolution.
"The devil has been cast out by evolu
tion," was one of the effective epigrams
used by Rev. Newton M. Mann in his ser
mon on "The Problem of Evil" at Unity
church yesterday morning. "The old
teaching," hj said, "had man perfect at the
outset. The new teaching has him very
crude. Incomplete at the beginning, and
lowly, age by age, growing almost imper
ceptibly. We must remember the depths
from which he came and the height for
which he Is destined. Man is climbing the
stairs to heaven; not seeking to regain
a lost Paradise.
"If God la all powerful and created all
things, why should He make Satan, wUh
whom He must be engaged forever In con
flict? If God Is all good, how can He
be the source of bad? These are ques
tions that never have been answered and
never can he. The theory of Satan be
longs to the teachings of other days. What
Is good and what Is evil? We know that
the world Is evil where man has dune noth
ing for his own well-being, and that those
surroundings are good thnt have been spe
cially wrought out by human toll to swell
the sum of human happiness. We aay that
'Man made the city but God made the
town' yet statistics' show that the trend
ll toward urban residence at the expense
Of the rural territory. The Improved world
that we have Is the result of the effort of
ages. The perfect world Is a realized vision
of an earthly paradise. Our early dreams
of paradlBe generally consider an Improved
paradise with walls and houses and paved
ttreets paved regardless of cost. Un
doubtedly never was the habitable world
quite so Inhospitable as It was In the be
ginning. We know that things are evil
when they are unsuitable to our well-being.
' .
"Is not the evil within us Inaptitude to
aajust ourselves to the ordered conditions
of life? The peaceful social conditions un
der which we are living have been existent
only a comparatively short time. War
at best Is generally systematic, wholesale
robbery.' Th further we go back the more
of a marauder and thief we find man to be.
It follows that through long ages these
habits were so fixed that now under a uew
order of things he la net able to emancW
pate himself from these Instinct- That
has become sin which before was. not sin."
NOBLES 1089 POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE.
KT. Reynolds Insists it Is Easy of
i Attainment.
At Caatellar Street Presbyterian church
Sunday evening the pastor, Walter H.
Reynolds, preached on the theme, "Great
Nobleness Possible to Any Who Will Have
It." Ha said, In substance:
"Great nobleness Is possible to the least
gifted believer. The Bible says, "His di
vine power hath granted unto us all things
that pertain to life and godliness.' Wao
soever you are that hear this, would you
be free from all that Is Ignoble and attaiu
to high glory and vlrtuo, then deliberately
use the means which have been provided
freely in this bestowal of the 'all things'
God's word thus promises you. Do not
watt for feeling, but obey the promptings
of an enlightened mind and will to do His
will. If you want to do God's will, but
have not yet taken your place with His
people In His church as a member, we be
seech you by the mercies of God to seek
to do so- at once. May God bless you, and
In humble prayer we sty It, may you bless
God; may you confess His name."
CON LEY SEE UHEAT OPPORTUNITY.
Is Hopeful for First llaptlst Church's
I'odrrt akt n(.
Anent the commencement work upon the
new edifice which will be erected by the
members of the First Baptist church, Rev.
J. W.' Conley delivered to a large congre
gation Sunday morning an interesting ser
mon bearing upon the Immense undertak
ing which confronts the church, and also
the field which the new church will oc
cupy when it la located upon the new site.
"Today we have a united and harmoni
ous church.- the pastor said. "We have
been led In providential manner to aecure
a site midway between the two old sites.

day. We feel the Inadequacy of this old
building. We cannot here do the work
that is demanded., We are now In the
midst of great financial prosperity. It Is
our time to act. Our new site la located
In a territory unoccupied by churches.
Take the territory between Twenty-aixtb
and Fortieth streets and Leavenworth and
Cuming streets, and there is not a Pro
testant church in this entire section, ex
cept All Saints' church and St. Msry's, In
the extreme oast. Here is a portion of the
city well populated and representing all
classes of society, destined to have the
largest growth In the near future of any
part of the city. We propose to build our
new church at a point easily accessible
from all parts of -this territory. Now Is
the time to enter this field and occupy It.
"The magnitude of our enterprise Is
seen In two ways, In the worV itself and
in the resources for 'Its accomplishments.
The latter are almost exclusively within
the membership of our own church. There
are conditions where church can appeal
to the general community for aid and find
a generous response. But that condition
does not exist In Omaha- today, This Is an
opportunity of a lifetime. It Is putting
money where It will go on for years, pos
sibly for centuries. In doing the Lord's
work." ; ,
WHAT TO DO WITH THE MOXEY.
Itev. Eeelea Says to Subordinate it to
Moral Precepts,
Dr. Kerr Eccles, paatftr ef Immanuel
Baptist church, preached on the "Impos
sibility of Serving Two Masters." Tak
ing for his text, "Ye Cannot serye God and
Mammon." Matthew, vl, I,' he ''said:
"Mammon, In the abstract sense, Is money
and Its attendant power.. Money Is not
mammon when the amassing of il is not the
result of or does not fesult In selfish mo
tives. The tendency Of money-getters Is
to use it for the selfish advancement of
their own desires, either physical or men
tal. So long as there U the least connec
tion In one's mind between money and
what It will buy of pleaaure and power,
Just so long is it mammon. '
"If a person bend his efforts toward the
getting of money and subordinates moral
precepts to this end he cannot expect to
serve God at the same time. An Idol Is an
idol whether It be great or small, good or
poor, to look Upon or carved la any like
ness. It la a something made by man, and
man should dot praise or worship 'that
which be has done.-
"It Is right that each man should lay
aside for himself enough wealth for him
self and for the children who come after
htra that they may not suffer from the in
fluences of those who worship mammon.
But the Idea Of money being the master,
the driving force behind the will. Is heret
ical. God should be the master, and money
merely the servant. Then does money at
tain the end for .which it was originally
produced. It Is a medium of. exchange or
barter and not a power. ,
"Remember thts well, subordinate money
to the moral precepts and make It an ac
cessory to lite, , and Dot a necessity and
you will not be serving mammon."
How to Break I'D Cold,.
It may be a surprise to our readers to
learn that a severe cold can In many in
stances be completely broken up In one or
two days' time. To do this, however,
prompt action Is necessary. The first symp
toms of a cold are a dry, loud cough, a
profuse watery discharge from the nose
and a thin white costing oil the tongue. If
Chamberlrln's Cough' Remedy Is taken in
double doses every hour after the first ap
pearance of these symptoms It will counter
act the effect of the cold and restore the
system, to a healthy condition within one
or two days' time. In almost every case,, and
when the cold Is not completely cured. In
this time Its seterlty will be greatly leas
sped an(J a complate sure Insured In s
very short time. When no action toward
curing the cold Is taken the dry, . loud
cough Is followed by a profuse watery
expectoration and that by a difficulty In
breathing, a peculiar tightness of the chest
and a slight expectoration of very tough
and tenacious mucus'. Few persons pay
any attention to A cold until In thla con
dition that Is, until the cold has become
settled In the system. ' The first action
should be to relieve, the lungs. This Is
beat accomplished by the free use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This rem
edy liquifies the tough mucus and causes
Its expulsion from the air cells of the
lungs, produces a free expectoration and
opens the secretions. A complete cure soon
follows. In some cases, however, several
days are required, but the experience of
thousands of persons In the use of this
remedy has been that it will cure a severe
cold in less time than any other treatment
and that It leaves the system In a natural
and healthy condition.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Poor Prosptot of Twenty-Fourth Street
Paving Repair
MAYOR SAYS CITY'S HANDS APE TIED
No Money In Fond to Pay for the
Work and Hence No Authority to
Order It Done Masclo
City final I p.
"It Is the same old story," said Mayor
Koutsky yesterday to a Bee reporter,, when
the question of repairs to the pavement on
Twenty-fourth street was brought up. "The
city has no money to pay for repairs at
thts time. It was only last fall that the
city paid out 11,600 for filling holes with
concrete and then sheeting them over with
asphalt. This pavement wears out so rap
Idly that It costs the city more to keep
it In repair than it would to pay interest
on a large Increase In the bonded In
debtedness." Continuing, the mayor said
he guested the people who travel the street
would have to worry along for some time
to come without any decided Improvement.
"As long as there is no money on hand
we cannot make improvements," said the
mayor.
A glance at the monthly report of the
city clerk shows that there Is but a small
sum remaining In the street repair fund.
Under the charter no contracts can be let
where there ia no money In sight to pay
for the work and consequently the street
from A to N will be left In its present
condition until there Is money available for
the necessary repairs. Some have sug
gested that a layer of vitrified brick be
laid over the present pavement, but en
gineers say that one layer will not hold and
that what Is needed Is an entirely new
pavement to be laid under a guarantee.
From the present outlook nothing can be
done to Improve the condition of this street
unless the property owners get together
and sign a petition for a new paving.
C'ltr Council Tonight.
A regular meeting of the city council
will be held tonight. It Is expected that
four or five grading ordinances will be
reported favorably on, and that these or
dinances will be placed upon second and
third readings and passed. The mayor will
sign the ordinances as soon as passed in
order that contracts may be let and the
work of grading Commenced as soon as
the frost is out of the ground. Then there
is the stock Inspector ordinance, which
seems to be worrying a great many people.
The Judiciary committee Is due to report
on this ordinance tonight and it may go
through the second and third reading the
same as the grading bills. When it comes
to the mayor's signature, however, .that
may be different. The mayor will Insist
that he name the Inspector, and In case
tho council will not agree to this a veto
probably will be sent In. . Mayor Koutsky
said that he removed the former stock ex
aminer and he holds that it Is his priv
ilege to appoint a man for the place when
ever he deems it necessary. It seems to
be the understanding that no bills will be
allowed tonight. Some damage claims will
be read and will be referred to the city
attorney for a report.
Ko Change of Grade.
Slnee the excavating for the South Omaha
public library has commenced there. seems
to be a- general regret that there was no
change In the grade of M street made be
fore the surveyor set the stakes. - An ef
fort was made soon after the library board
purchased the site to have a cut made In
M street, at the intersection of Twenty
third street, but. as some of the property
owners east of Twenty-third street objected
snd claimed damages ' ths matter was
dropped. If any change is made now It
will have to be rts.de. quickly, as 'the ex
cavating' will be Completed this week. The
great drawback to the present plans will
be when It comes to paving M. street from
Twenty-third street to Twenty-fifth street.
An engineer aald yesterday that those who
are now opposed to the change of grade
will be surprised when the street Is paved.
Quantities of material arrive almost dally
for the foundations for the library and the
foundations will be set Just as soon as the
temperature will permit of the laying of
cement.
School Board Meets.
An adjourned meeting of the Board of Ed
ucation Is billed for tonight. One of the
features pf tho meeting will be the p
sentatlon of a petition from residents In the
southeast portion of the city asking that
the name of Albright school be changed to
Madison school. There seems to be little
objection to this and It Is possible that the
redtiest may be granted. That bill for
painting and some other repairs to build-'
tags probably will come up, but the ma
jority Jf the members seem to think that
the session will be a halfway peacable one.

PALMER WINS ANOTHER WIFE
Proapeete that Fortane Una Aaaln
Smiled on the -Former
Omaha Man.
Scarcely more than a month ago The Be
chronicled a series of events that appeared
to make It certain that the fates were
suddenly turned against George E. Palmer
and that he had no more cheering outlook
than the prospect of becoming a lonesome
toller with few Joys and only one change
of shirts. But the Indications were wrong
and the fates are still with the gentleman,
apparently, for friends here have received
word that he has married again, and, it Is
surmised, has married "well" which latter
term, of course. Is understood to compre
hend good family .and a hank account.
Details have not been received, but the
friends In question have had Information
enough from the dainty cards sent by Mrs.
Alice Van Etta Smith of Coronado, Cal.,
"announcing the marriage of her daughter
Blanche to Mr. George E. Palmer, Febru
ary 28," etc., etc.
These friends concede that the celerity
of Mr. Palmer's movements rather dates
them, but aver that they rejoice in his new
felicity, nevertheless, and stand firm In
their affection for. him. .
The cards received are very smart af
fairs; the bride's mother has as many sec
tions In her name as anyone short of a
German ambassador could possibly wish;
Coronado is a swell place, where none but
the wealthy can afford to stay lonj?r than
for two meals and altogether Mr. Palmer's
friends seem not without good reason for
believing that he has prospered.
It Isn't Ihe first time Mr. Palmer has
prospered. Just a few years ago he was
In the employ of packing companies In
Omaha at a salary so modest It blushed at
the telling. Then came Mrs. E. Jessie
Salle, whose husband had left her much
mining property at Cripple Creek and Idaho
Springs, and the fates found her an affinity
In Mr. Palme In a very short time. After
they were married they were in Omaha
awhile, then In Minneapolis and went even
tually to Kanas City, where Mr. Palmer,
having ceased to act as manager of the
Lord Byron mine at Idaho Springs, owned
by Omaha men, invested in fancy stock
and made great displays at various hore
shows with one result, thnt he was to have
been Invited to act as Judge at the coming
show in Omaha.
Then -Mrs.-Palmer died and later came
the crash. Creditors, unable to secure
prompt settlements, began pressing their
claims in a legal wsy, and Palmer aban
doned his Wornall farm and departed from
the Missouri metropolis, bag and baggage.
Attachments previously sued out held prac
tically everything but this Impedimenta
nd his friends here feared it was all up
with Mr. Palmer. Mrs. Smith's cards are
practically their first Intimation to the
contrary.
GRADING OF TWENTY-FOURTH
Board of Edncatlon Likely to Recon
sider the Matter at Tonight's
. . Meeting.'
Representatives of the Southwest Im
provement club are expected to appear be
fore the Board of Education tonight and
urge that the action taken at the last
meeting In refusing to sign a petition ask
ing for a change of grade on Twenty-fourth
street south of Leavenworth be reconsid
ered, it-appears that unless the Improvers
get the signature of the board fcr the front
age of the-Mason school property they can
not secure signatures for a majority front
age. They want. the change of grade be
cause the street railway company has prom
ised to build an x tension on South Twen
ty-fourth Streei1f At Is made. There Is a
strong. opposition!. faction among the prop
erty owners interested, and they too will
be represented, at: the board meeting and
urge that the previous action, stand un
changed. ' '; e
City Attorney Connell said yesterday
that he saw ni reason wty the signatur of
the board In order to make a majority pe
tition would invalidate the proceeding.
"The board Is- to bs regarded in the same
light as a corporation," he asserted, "and
If a majority of the members order the sec
retary to sign - the petition the action is
regular and proper, even though this sig
nature is the last needed to make the peti
tion effective. Because school property Is
involved does not make the proposition any
different than though it were private prop
erty." Kip Them In the Bad.

ONE TALKS RANGE CATTLE AND HORSES
Another Discusses Preparations Being;
Made at St. Louis for the Dedi
cation of the Louisiana Pur
chase Rsnoaltlon.
Lee H. Devlne, one of the superintend
ents of the Cary Bros.' ranch on the Lit
tle Missouri, In the northwest corner of
South Dakota, Is In the city, stopping at
the Merchants. He says: "The range cat
tle and horses In' that section have win
tered finely. There has been very little
snow there. We have had to feed only
the younger calves. We have had abun
dant hay for the purpose. We catch our
worst storms there from about now until
April 15. As soon as I return we will be
gin the spring roundup of the horses. The
sheep men are beginning to drift Into that
section from Wyoming. The sheep bother
the little cattlemen mostly. There has
been some little trouble. The sheep men
and a few cattlemen owning small herds
came together, and the sheep were fired
Into and twelve killed, and the sheep herd
ers were ordered out of the country. Some
settlers are coming In, and they are
fencing up the springs, which Is making
It hard for the cattle to get water. I guess
the free range Is doomed, and there will
be little of It left a few years from now."
Speaking of range horses, Mr. Devlne
said: "There Is a great demand for them
for polo ponies. A man came out to our
ranch to buy forty or fifty. He was from
New York. He was sure stuck on our cat
tle ponies that were broken. He offered us
any price for them. But when a cowboy
ha got his little old buckskin pony trained,
no money could buy him. This New Yorker
offered me $.100 for my old skate that I
have ridden for twelve years."
Charles L. Fritsch of St. Louis Is In the
city, and is enthusiastic over the approach
ing dedication of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition. He says: "The city of St.
Ixiule Is already crowded with visitors
looking at the exposition grounds In the
preparatory stages. There are hosts of
people brought there, too, by the expec
tancy of securing employment at the
grounds. The Industrial building Is already
under roof, and It covers about ten acres.
The Agricultural building will be finished
by September 1. The dedication ceremo
nies will take place April 30, and big
preparations are being made for the event.
About 3,000 regular troops and 10,000 Na
tional guards will participate In the pa
rade. President Roosevelt and other nota
bles will be there. On May 1 will occur
International day, which will also be a big
affair. In June will come the National
Saengerfeet; that Is to be another big
event. A 2,000-room hotel is being built
near the exposition grounds, and local cap
italists are putting up a $1,500,000 hotel In
the city that will be finished in time for
the exposition next year."
J. B. Owens of Wayne, Neb., is an Omaha
visitor. Of affairs up about Wayne, he
says: "The winter has been very good to
us. There has been no loss of cattle, and
much feeding is being done this winter.
Approximately, 200 cars of cattle will be
shipped from Wayne alone before the ship
ping season closes. The elevator men are
offering but 24 and 25 cents for corn, but
the farmers are holding for 30 cents. We
have been suffering some from car short
age, but not as much as other localities.
Some excitement prevails up about Wayne
and Winslde over recent encouraging de
velopments In some gold mines In which
Wayne county people are Interested. The
stock recently sold for 12, 20 and 25 cents,
but is now quoted at par. The mine Is lo
cated somewhere near Deadwood, S. D.
Some of the officials of the company were
here a few days ago to meet Omaha and
eastern investors holding stock In the
mine."
R. L. Applebee of Virginia, Neb., was In
Omaha yesterday, and said: "The sletpy
old town of Virginia has wakened up won
derfully during the past few days over the
certainty of the building of the Kansas
City, Beatrice and Western railway from
Virginia to Beatrice. The survey Is al
ready completed, and work will begin on
grading and track laying as soon as the
season opens enough to permit the work.
The road will later be projected from Beat
rice In the direction of Grand Island, and
will pass through the richest part of Gage
county, some of which has no railway fa
cilities at present. The new road will con
nect with the Missouri Pacific, which -has
Its present terminus at Virginia, and ex
tends to Kansas City. Virginia is tfut fif
teen miles from Beatrice."
