8 TIIE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, APBITj CO. 1003. HE IS REALSOIjRCE OF POTTER Rer. EchalbU cf Crerton Describes God ru Wheal Within A Wheel. MAN IS ONLY A PUPPET, HE SAYS pretns Rein Director of Drutlnf ait I nrrrliiKlr CiaMes asid Kffpi In Motion the Oater Wheel of I.lfe. Rer. C. E. Schalble of Crest on, la., preached from t pulpit of the Second Presbyterian church 8ur. lay morning, tak ing for bis subject, "The Wheel Within the Wheel." Mrs. Conant, a revivalist Inger, tang a solo before the offertory. Rev. Schalble said In part: "Tli wheel of human destiny often seems to be turning In the wrong direction and yet there Is a power within, the wheel within the wheel, which di rects the movement of this wheel of des tiny. It Is like two cog wheels, the Inner one, from which cornea the power, moving In the opposite direction from the other. "We look upon the events of everyday life as governed by a tangible force, but they are, in reality, all prearranged. God baa said that It must be and It Is. We have Ave senses and yet we cannot tell what it Is to hear, to feel or to see. We know that such sensationa are and we say they are caused in such and such a manner, but no one knows why or how. "It is the power that Is unseen that conducts all things. Luther founded a new religion, or rather a new sect, but the founding of this sect waa merely an act of God. It Is fate, and only belief In Ood and His works can make us wise in the knowledge of the universe. Man is the puppet that the wheel of destiny keeps in motion and Ood directs this movement of his fate unerringly through the Inner wheel. "Christianity grew from little beginnings and has spread throughout the world be cause of this very Inner wheel under the direction of a manifold Ood. True concep tion of fate Is the understanding of th force of God's will." 19 LIKE ARM ATI ItE OF A MAGXET. Rot. Jenks So Describe the Chnreh and Its Influence. Yesterday vas communion Sunday at the First Presbyterian church and the pastor, Rev. Edward Hart Jenks, chose for the theme of hia sermon the appropriate words: "Draw nigh unto Ood and Ood will draw nigh unto you." "Spiritual life Is not based on sentiment, but la based on laws as firm and Immutable aa the law of nature that requires the sun to beat upon the earth and to absorb its moisture and carry It back to the heavens," said the preacher. "Earth cannot resist the power of the sun, but man's soul can and does resist the Influences of the divine spirit. To draw near to God we must put our minds and our hearta In a condition whereby ha- may come to us. There must be some - connection between the divine spirit and the human spirit, and the church ordinarily performs that office. Just the same as- it Is necessary to remove the shadow from the garden spot In order that the sun might reach It and warm the seeds and bulbs Into germination and plants so mutt we remove the shadow of sin from our aoula If wa are to receive Ood'a help. Wo cannot lift ourselves from the earth only Ood can do that but wa can help tT opening the door of our hearta to Him nd preparing the way. "The church and Ita services and com munion may be likened to the armature Of a magnet. The armature atretched from pole to pole keeps In the magnetism ana prevents a loss of the electrle energy. a the church and ita duties and obllga tlons acta aa an armature to the great magnet or the soul. Magnets once ex bsustsd must be recharged by larger mag nets. The empty soul must turn to Christ for recharging. Then such soul must guard and retain . what he receives by exercise or the restraining influence of the church. MUST BE CEXTER OF HELPFULNESS, Rot.' Hill Tolls One Mlssloa of the Christian rharch. At the First Christian church Sunday morning Rev. Harry Oranlson Hill preached upon the theme "Helpfulness," his text being Isaiah xllv:6-7. He said in part "Helpfulness Is strengthening. Help or assistance rendered another may be grudg ingly, may be niggardly, but helpfulness Is whole-souled. It goes beyond the gift and strengthens the recipient, doing him more good through Its spirit than through the gift Itself. "The church today Is convicted In the eyes of the world because It does not do Its whole duty la not. In the full sens of the word, being as helpful as It should I have no complaint to make against the secret societies, nor the mutual associa tions, but this work belongs to the church and It haa permitted Its mantle to fall upon other people. The spirit of Christ Is not confined to the church today, but Is to be found In other organisations. The people who manage these organisations may not , call themselves Christian; nay, they may oven deny the theology of the bible, but Jn their Uvea they are reflecting the life of Christ and the spirit of helpfulness which ha taught. "It la a crime to discourage others. The people who suffer from human Ills which sympathy cannot remove have the right to demand from the world and from their neighbors strength to bear their burdens, and this strength must bo given through the spirit of helpfulness. But no one has right to demand all and give nothing. No one la so poor In purse and spirit that be cannot be helpful to others. ' "The church should be the center ot helpful Influence. From It should radiate the spirit of fellowship end co-operation for all good things which will make the people, the world, better and when the church doea not do this it falls of Its duty." AKDERSOX LOOKS TO THE MOTIVE, Baotlat Preacher noes Deeper Thaa the Deed Itself. Rer. Thomas Anderson of Calvary Bap tlst church took for his text yesterday morning John vll and part of the forty fourth verse: ''And some of them would have taken Him; but " Rev. Anderson aaid In part: "There waa no doubt as to the intention of those men. They were undetermined s to what they wanted to do. They had al ready laid murderous haoda on the Christ to punish Him for His condemnation ot their sins. They did not lack ot will, but they were checked by worldly prudence, They were overawed by the spell that H VTara their Backs A" (' (Mires) I fJ brltfiil sue r.y I A l"sss autkr I 'I titn,ui t,f aia.fura. V lCMARlfSe. H RES CO. ySaaaallZl!!-- threw over them by His own immaculate goodness. They did not weaken, nor wss their purpose annihilated. It was the con- tion of what a man would do If he could. There are many 'buts' In life and man t conviction runs in the channel of his own desires or seeking. A man may be a thief, but never appropriate a thing that does not belong to him; he msy be a murderer or a moral rake, yet never yield to the tempta tion of his wickedness not because they do not want to, but frbm the fear of dis covery or punishment. A man who Is hon est merely from policy Is dishonest. Where man Is In his heart, there he It In the lint of Ood. A man may go to church tor the appearance of things, while his heart Is In his home reading the Sunday papers or at his office planning for the work of the worldly week. He la doing that which la within him aa a motive of worldly prudence, without Ood, and Is try ing to conceal the teal motive of his action. He accepts the will of the deed. If we knew the motive that actuates the doings of a man. In taking another view of the 'buts' of life, we could forgive a crime or a lapse of apparent moral integ rity. It may be a hereditary taint that h is trying to overcome, that has come to him from generations past. We who have no hindrances do not realise the struggle that men have who are beset by many hindrances. The only failure that Ood recognizes Is not to have the right kind of ideas. If our mood is on the side of Ood, If purity, honesty, faith, virtue, morality and Christianity, as Christ teaches them, are our motives, Ood will be satisfied and say unto us, 'Thou didst well.'

SPEAKS OF THE PRESIDENPS RECEPTION Stock Raiser front Deaver Says !- brash Is Destined to Become One of the Greatest and Rlehest of Western States. "I have seen a great deal of this thing they call 'western enthusiasm,' " said L. W. Sanderson, a Boston traveling man, In the lobby of the Millard hotel, yesterday. but never In my life have I aeen It ao genuinely displayed as by the people ot the northwest In their ovations to Presi dent Roosevelt, who Is Just now ensconsed somewhere In the fastnesses of Yellow stone park. I happened to bo In St. Paul when the president was there and the peo ple of. that old city, which Is about the most staid and dignified of any western metropolis, fairly vied with each other in receiving and entertaining the chief magis trate. It seemed to me as though there certainly could not have been any political lines of demarkatlon among those people; but as a matter of tact St. Paul Is a demo cratic city, or at least, for some years has been under the administration of a demo cratic regime. "Then I was in Jamestown, N. D., when Mr. Roosevelt was there. I never saw such demonstrations in my life. The people fairly went wild In their enthusiasm over blm. They couldn't do enough. And, by the way, the president seemed to onjoy It to the full. While an easterner by birth. President Roosevelt Is a westerner in many ot his habits and manners and this s one reason, no doubt, why he strikes such a responsive chord In the hearts of the free and easy and cordial frontiersmen. He Is perfectly at home among them, as his conduct at Jamestown, a typical west ern city, showed. There the president sat upon his horse and made one of his char acteristic speeches. The 'streets were thronged with enthusiastic admirers and almost every word the president uttered was drowned in deafening applause. Then be waa taken for a great ride all over the town In a four-in-hand carryall, with a train or army of cowboys on their buck ing bronchoa behljd the president's rig. This seemed to stir all the humor and enthusiasm in that great big heart of Roosevelt's and he looked as If he would give anything to let out a big whoop-hurrah himself. He certainly enjoyed that stren uous cordiality and so did everyone else who witnessed it." Daniel M. Bogard, a rancher and stock raiser from Denver, who waa at the Mer chants yesterday, believes no state in the west haa a greater future than Nebraska. "I can't see what la going to atop this state from climbing to the top of the col umn among the other states of the great west," said Mr. Bogard. "Its natural re sources, when properly considered, are marvellous. I don't think Its own people. however, realize or at least appreciate it. This state has the soil and seasons and. by the way, the seasons are- improving every year; I know thla because I do a lot of ranching In the state myself; its min eral resources aro far superior to what anyone may imagine wbo has not given the subject due consideration. Best of all, Ne braska has the most advantageous location ot any western state, taken into considera tion with its railroad facilities. Omaha, properly speaking, is the natural gateway to the far west, despite all the claims made for Kansas City, Thla year ia going to be a demonstrator ot this very point. Omaha will pass through ita portals more tourists and immlgranta than ever in ita history or that of any other western city, I believe. "I predict a great future for Omaha and Nebraska, I say. I feel warranted In this because, as I have said, first, the state has superior natural resources; it baa already taken a lead in corn and wheat production. Then it has the brains and industry for developing these resources. Ths state Is much talked of In the east, where I have Just been. You will bear people all over the east talking about 'Nebraska,' aa if It waa some newly discovered paradise. But one thing the state must do, and that Is straighten out ita financial affairs, which means devise a better and more equitable system ot taxation than it has had in the past. Attention to these matters would greatly facilitate Nebraska's progress, I am certain." W. 8. Freed and twenty-five other fore runners for Forepaugh'a circus are at the Merchants, or, at least, were yesterday. They form that army whose exclusive mis sion is to "bill" every city and town where the show appears. They will radiate from Omaha out Into surrounding towns, making this their headquarters for aeveral days. Aanooacemeata of the Theaters.

The play Is conceived In the best artlstlo splrt, and its execu tion is really beautiful.

ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM The grand commandery ot the Knights Templar ot the state of Nebraska will be In session at .Omaha next Thursday with about 123 delegates present from about thirty commanderies of the state. The or der la in a most prosperous condition and will meet under pleasant conditions. The local commandery will provide entertain ment, but will not present any especial features aa were presented last year. The principal business to come before the grand commandery Is the matter of the triennial conclave which meets at San Francisco next year. It Is the Intention ot the committee having charge of this mat ter to report a plan having for Its object a large attendance from Nebraska. The spring ceremonial session of the Tsngler Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, will be held Wednesday evening, and It Is expected that the attendance will be larger than usual because of the meeting of the grand commandery of the state which will be held the following day. The official notice of the ceremonial session says: "The Nobles of Tangier Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., will assemble In regular session in memory of Khatoon Saudah. daughter of Zama'ah, widow of As-Sakran, a Oooraysh and one of the companions of the prophet, second wife of Mohammed (whole name be praised) on the twenty fourth day of Moharrum, A. H. 1321, or in the language of the unregenerates, April 22, 1903, at S o'clock for business and bal loting on petitions, and at 7 o'clock for the ceremony at Masonic hall, Omaha, and to enjoy the feast of Laylatoo'n-Nooqtah, or Night ot the Drop. Special dispensation permits reception of petitions, balloting and Initiations upon the tamo day. And remember that "No Card, no Can do." The Imperial conclave of the Ecclesiasti cal and Military Order of the Knights of Rome and Constantino will be held at Peoria, 111., May 8. This body Is the su preme gathering of the order ot the western hemisphere, or empire of the west, s it Is known to the lllumlnatl. The order has been Instituted in Omaha but a few months and gives promise of being one of the most successful of the several orders which find root In Masonry. The "Knights of Constantlne," as It Is called in familiar conversation, Is one of the Christian orders of Masonry, tracing its foundation to Emperor Constantlne, whose Christian faith has been the subject of more controversy, probably, than that of any other mortal. It was in the fourth century that the order was founded, accord ing to the annals of the society. It was not connected with Masonry at that time, prob ably, as It was then limited to the fight ing men ot the empire, but it soon came Into close connection with the Masonic lodges and In a comparatively few years it was impossible to Join the Knights of Con stantlne unless the candidate were first a master Mason. Later the rule was changed by the English knights to make the pre requisite membership lh the chapter. In this country the order was introduced In 1870 regularly' and a few years later the imperial conclave was organized, consist ing of not more than fifty persons hold ing the highest degree. Separation was made on friendly terms with the sovereign conclave of England, and since then the American order has governed Itself. In soma of the state jurisdictions membership In the Knights Templar is held to be pre requisite to membership in the order, while In others the English rule is observed. No petitions for Membership are received, tut members 'are selected by those In the order and notified of election. At' the coming meeting of the imperial conclave of the Knights ot Constantlne, Gustave Anderson, intendant general of the order, will be present and respond to a toast. :' The Ancient Order of United Workmen of tbia city baa elected delegates to the grand lodge session, - which will convene next month in Orand .

It would naturally appear that owing to the price for which imported champagnes are sold, the combined revenue for the sale of all these wines would be In excess of the amount paid annually for any single brand of bottled beer. But such is not the case, as the United States custom house statistics clearly and definitely prove. Anheuser-Busch's Budwelser not only ex ceeds In sales all other bottled beers com bined, but has proved Itself the mightiest competitor of Imported champagnes by ex ceeding their annual revenue more than $3,500,000. The pales of Budwelser during the year 1902 were 83,790,300 botjles, averaging 25 cents per bottle, amounting to $20,947,675. The United States custom house records prove the importation of all champagnes for the year 1902 to be 360,708 cases. Figur ing on a basis of 18 quart bottles per case 1,328, 4"G bottles, and If sold at the maxi mum, $4.00 per bottle, to the consumers, amounted to $17,313,591. From these figures' It will be seen that Dudwelser'a lead was $3,633,691. It is a noteworthy fact that this pure and wholesome beverage Is fast supplant ing imported champagnes upon the banquet table. Just as It Is supplanting the de canter upon the sideboard In American homes. ' This Is as it should be, and marks a perceptible advancement in the direction of true temperance. Budwelser Is a brew that is known the world around, and Is not only preferred by discriminating customers because of Its rare flavor, fine effervescence and perfect ma turity, but prescribed by physicians every where on account of Ita absolute purity, nourishing and upbuilding effects. BOHN INQUEST TO BE TODAY Coroner Rrallejr to Conduct Investi gation at 9 O'clock This Horsing. Nothing has developed thus far to indi cate that John Bohn, who shot himself at the Klondike hotel, Saturday, has any heirs to claim his estate of nearly $44,000 in securities, except two supposed nephews somewhere In Arizona or Mexico. The au thorities have thus far been unable to communicate with them. It is further learned that Bohn waa pos sessed of considerable real estate in the western part of this state, but Ita location has not been definitely determined aa yet The suicide had been very reticent In re gard to his affairs for three or four years past, and had few if any confidants, conse quently very little is known ot his family affairs, and probably will not be until bis nephews are communicated with. The coroner's Inquest over - his death will be at 9 o'clock this morning. One Way and Roond Trip.
