URGES DUTY Of MISSIONARY WORK Minister nnrlla I pon Ohllsatloa Rest- Ing tin liarrh $n Spread Onspel V Tkrltxhaal Benhteil Hfithmom. Tn Low Avenue Presbyterian church Rev. A. B. C. Clerk delivered a sermon on the command to spread the It n pel to the unknowing. He began the lesson with the command from Matthew, wherein Jeaua, th Savior, commands Ills disciples to bo cut Into th world and teach. The words of the, text are, the last wish of our Lord, and It seems to me His last wish ahould be the first desire of His dis ciples." Rev. Mr. Clark explained that here In Bethany the Savior first made clear to the apostles the life and duties before them, who had thought of a temporal kingdom, and ended wltn the command quoted. 'A child of CW and a disciple of Jesus cannot afford to pass bjr such words; he disregards them at the very peril of his poul. Why should we spend our time, why give our money, why devote our energies to a. people far awayT Why separate friends and send them to people of a different race? Are they not now God fearing and happy In their own way? Are not people who bear the.se races on their minds fanatics? I think our text will be n answer to all these questions. Knnugh for the loyal disciple la the Lord'a com mand. 1,1 fe Test at Lore. "The only practical test of a man's love la his life; the lover's proof and test Is hie outer life; what he does for the one who II lovea. i nnst puts m iesi, saying, n you love Me. keep My commandments. The words of the text do not alone, I think, constitute the last, but the great est of the Lord'a commandments, for on It depends the result of Christ's suffering's. "Paul said. IIow are they to believe If they have not heard? How hear If not preached? How preach unless they be ent? On this lies the whole motive for the missionary movement. If Christ's com mand does not move us, the condition of the world If we have heart should move us. "The condition is appalling; there are, it la estimated, I.eOO.OOO.ono people In the world, and of these, 500,000.000 are nominally Chrlstlsn. The Iord alone knows how many of these are real Christiana. The other 1.100.000.000 have at least erroneous Ideas of God. If they are not atheists, as the literal translation of Paul's word Is, they are at least without hope in this world. Pessimism is their philosophy. Their whole idea Is to placate God, who needs no placating. Sin rages rampant among them; sickness and suffering are on every hand; the women are enslaved, and It Is a shame to speak openly of the things that are done in Hlndoostan In the name of religion. He that loveth not the brethren whom he hath seen, how can he love God. whom he hath not seen? The burden of Christianising rests upon us to day as it has never rested before, for the church has abilities for spreading the gospel such aa It never possessed before. by thinking His thoughts after Him, for nil rational thought Is first Ood'a thought. The sciences are hut the knowing of find's thought, as expressed In mathematical re lation, r.nd course and constitution of stars. In the folistl.m of plants In the revel ations of geology, In the primal elements, the alphabet by which God has spelled all the physical world. Wise sayings of the little folk, rstlonal commonplaces and greatest thoughts of greatest men, were nil first God's thoughts. The divine thought is embodied In material forma. "Earth Is crammed with heaven, and every common bush la afire with God. "Iiove Is appreciation and affection. Two strangers meet snd a commonplace remark brings mind In touch with mind. But con tinuation brings affection and love. 'Thy friend who Is as thine own soul.1 Po man's first approach to God is through the splen did portal of thought, as Ruskln in the dewdrop, as Tennyson In the shell, ns Coleridge In mountain sublimities, as Iw ell In history, 'I take great comfort In God.' "But God Is a spirit, and so Is man pre eminently a spirit, the invisible that spirit ually dominates all life. The flower's worth Is In its spiritual egression of beaTity, which vanishes when the flower withers, though no physical part is lost Literature, biography, the heroic, the classic, are the spirit of the past still speaking. "What an Infinite meaning leaps into con sciousness as one passes from the portal of thought Into that vast dome of our own and GoVs nature, the spiritual. "And to love with all the heart Is not to be analysed, but to love as we like best, to love and to he loved, Is to pass through a mind entering Into the mind of God, through a spirit that unlocks all the In visible up to the very throne of God, through the heart that enters that supreme holy of holies, the heart of God. "At last, to be perfect as the Father, one with Him aa the Son is one with Him all life perfect In one." The pulpit at the Kountxe church will be filled next - Sunday at both services by Rev. C. J.

Tlndall gees Possibility of America Sannresstaa- Saltan. The possibility that the fnlted States may be the agent 1n compelling Turkey to cast aside Its barbaroua ways and follow the wake of civilisation was suggested by Rev, V, K. Tlndall yesterday morning in his sermon at Trinity Methodist church, His subject was "Th 8lie pf Christ's jroiu. ana Re found If w(tho; limit, with out denominational lines and unhemmed by mere forma of worship. His reference to the Turkish problem was with sn accent Of sadness and regret. - "But who knows but that the eve of a great regeneration In the land of Mpham med la at hand?" asked the preacher. "Is It not fair to surmise In the light of past events that the United States may be the power that will carry enlighten ment Into this bloody land and force the Turks to observe the precepts of Christian conduct Perhaps it may be our forces at Beyroot that may drive the opening wedge. Stranger things have happened and of late years our country has seemed to be the leader tn all great movements for the mancipation of the lives and souls of the oppressed, the world over. "As It was said of old that all roads lead to Rome, so do I say tha'. all right eous roada lead to heaven, regardless of denominations and mere formality. It Is nothing less than absurd to say 'my coun try,' 'my church.' 'my heaven,' for these things- are shared In common and belong to all alike. We are one great family and whosoever of us follows Christ aa best he can is on the road to the eternal city. "Religion does not mean merely to es cape hell and to get to heaven. It means to do all the good you can, to perform as many acts and say as many kind words, assist your brother aa much as you can' The religion that Is simply to gain heaven and keep from hell Is the meanest reli gion of all. And heaven is not gained in that way. It Is earned by acts and words of the right kind snd no other method mill work. "It Is a great mistake to suppose that any particular Beet haa a monopoly on this or that virtue. The Methodist church claims to bo a holiness church, but so do all others and all that have Christ for a head are tight becauae holiness Is nothing more or less than right relations with God and with humanity. It lies In practioe and not tn speech." APPRECIATION AXD AFFECTIOX. aeh la Love, Says Prof. Charles Kimball Hoyt. 'And thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soull and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." This was the text from which Prof. Charles Kimball Hoyt of the English department of Bellevue college preached yetiterday In the Kountxe Memorial church. ine i tie me is tne nrst commandment, the heart of the old and new testaments, on which Prof. Hoyt spoke as follows: "This commandment s meaning Is not fully apprehended, to be comprehended only In distant times. It is not a rhetorical piling up, of words, but a divine analysis of love Ood's nature and normal human nature. Not an authoritative command, bat a revelation of the nature of things.

COR. lrni DODGE, OMAHA, Railroad passenger officials complain that Instead of abating the pass-seeking disease Is gradually attaining larger proportions. And they even often laugh at some of the experiences which they have with' the peo ple who ply this graft, and some officials have been found who would even forego the plraaure and distinction of being called i modest by admitting their skill in dealing with this class of Inveterate A lecal pas senger official was discussing this prevail ing nuisance, as he termed It, and the skill and diplomacy of some of his colleagues the other day when a chance for a demon stration bobbed up. "There, look there," he said quickly, as two gentlemen with a rural tinge hove in eight of his desk and leaned on the railing, which la the official's bulwark; "there are two fellows now who have come to ask for transportation and they have absolutely no clultn on it or this road. They are school teachers out in the state somewhere and for the life of me I can't see why they have the nerve to ask for transportation." Sure enough the official was right. The two gentlemen had come to "stick" the road for passes and they were school teach ers, too. "Is Mr. In," presently Inquired one of a clerk standing, near, who accidentally looked toward the' visitors. "Yes, but he's very busy Just now; Is there anything I can do for your replied the well-trained clerk, , "Well, no. I er I gues-s not." finally ejaculated one of the visitors, "we would like mighty well to see Mr. ." Th clerk then stepped Into the official's office and broke It to him. Instead of hav ing the two sent in to him the diplomatic official, violating all precedent, came out of his office to see the men who had come to "stard him up." Such a greeting! One would have thought the official had Just had the extreme good fortune of meeting two long-lost brothers from the ostensible cordiality he displayed In welcoming the gentlemen to the outside of the office. After sparring for an open ing for about five minutes the pass-seekers found themselves left standing, with smil ing faces and warm hearts, but empty hands. The adroit official had filled them full of that tickling commodity known in the twentieth century parlance as "hot air,'' and they didn't even get to tho place of "striking" him for the passes until he was suddenly called away by one of his wise assistants. Not many weeks ago a similar experience happened In the same passenger depart ment. It was with the chief this time, a man who occupies first rank as a profes sional Jollier on such occaalons. "A gentleman outside would like to see you," announced a clerk. "Who Is he?" The clerk described him. "Can't see him," was the abrupt reply. But about that time the stranger broke In, evidently having tired of waiting on the clerk "Well, well, and how do you do; well bless my soul if it Isn t let s see, I can't Juat call your na (Jones, volunteered the flattered fellow) why, certainly, Jones; It beats the band how I will forget the names of my best friends. Well, how in the world are you snyway Jonesle, old boy? Why don't you come down oftener? You haven't been down to see me for an age. Say, how are the folks? Bless my soul, buc I'm deucedly glad here, Jonesle, take a cigar. Make yourself at home. Tell me all about It." By this time the crimson-faced gentle man from the country had swelled up to tha else of a well-fed elephant and was just reveling in the thought of how he'd tell ail the folks and neighbors at homo about his terribly cordial reception at the hands and in the private office the holy of holies of this great railroad official, abaolutely Indif ferent by this time, aa to whether he got a pass or not To be Just almost embraced by a man so great and prominent certainly was worth all the passes In the world, but then, he'd Just as leave have the pass if the official didn't mind. He was beginning to think that ho might Insult the generosity of his friend, tho official, if ho didn't make some request of lilm, so he began to bold up. - . "Er-er, um, this " "What, your light going out? Here by Jove, Jonesie, take another light yea, yes Just please excuse me for a minute. I have a little matter that requires my at tention right now," and the official deftly made his escape. "llowd' you make it?" asked one of the pass-seeker's friends who waa wailing out side the building for him. "How'd I make it? Bay that fellow's a prince, he Is he's a prince, I tell you." "Why, did he give you passes for the whole family?" "No, he didn't; he didn't give me a single pass by gum, Bill, come to think of It. I never ast him; I forgot all about It, but say, he Juat treated me great; he took me in his private office and talks J to me Just as If I might have been his brother." "How In the world did that fellow get into my office; who Is he anyway?" thun dered the Irate official, as he emerged on a dead run from his office Into that of his clerk. TALES TOLD BY TOURISTS Generil Samner 8a jt Sixth Cavalry ii One of Union! Notable f imentt, SBnaBtansBB CHAFFEE AND WADE BOTH WERE IN IT Toper Who Falls Down Stairs ladlgr. neatly Explains that Sack Is Merely His Way, of Descending, "One of the notable tegtments of the United States army," said General 8. 8. Sumner at the Her Grand last evening. "Is the Sixth cavalry. I do not say this from the fact that I had the honor of at one time being Its commander, but because of Its record during and since the civil war. It was created during the early part of the civil war, and Major General A. R. Chaffee enlisted In It as a private soldier. General James B. Wsde began his military career at the organisation of the regiment as a lieutenant. He was a son of Senator Ben Wade of Ohio. . The regiment rendered the most valient . service In the Potomac army during the civil war and was In most of the notable battles in which that army participated. It also rendered splendid service In Texas against the Commanche Indians at the close of the war, snd later against the southern Cheyennes on the Miles expedition In 1874-6 and still later against the Apaches In Ariaons. It was tho only United States cavalry regiment that participated In the campaign In China and has since rendered valued service In the Philippines. I think that Generals Chaffee and Wade are tho only old officers of the regiment who are now In active service. All the rest are dead or on the retired list." "I have seen very little drunkenness in Omaha since here," remarked B. O. Bau melster of McKeesport, Pa., at the Murray last evening. "That reminds me of an old soak that lived In Fltteburg many years ago. He was always Just so full, and he Indignantly spurned the Imputation that he ever got drunk. One day he fell dom-n tho steps of the old Monongahela house when in his cups, and It was thought for a while that he was seriously hurt, if not killed. A couple of friends went to his rescue and picked him up. He was con scious all right enough, but was Indignant because one of them aeked him If ho was hurt. " 'No, I ain't hurt, ho replied. " "But didn't you fall down stairs?' " 'No I didn't fall down stairs, you fool, that's the way I always come down stairs.' " AT THE PLAYHOUSES West's Minstrels at tho Boyd. Manager Ssnford B. Rl al y has In a very creditable degree done what seems all but Impossible given us something nearly It not altogether new In the way of negro minstrelsy. He has entirely rencvated the William H. West minstrels, and hns made a bright ami refreshing entertainment out of hie undertaking. Particularly is this true of the first part. With, the average minstrel company this Is topheavy, one or the other of its constituent features over balancing the rest. Mr. Rkaby has suc ceeded tn establishing an equilibrium in which the songs and Jests and foolery are well balanced snd almost exactly propor tioned. Some excellent singing voices are introduced during this part of the perform ance, solos by Messrs. Sadler, Foreman, Prlngle and Jenkins being very well re ceived at both matinee and evening yester day. George Jones. Fred May, Fred Huber and Charles E. Gano contribute "coon" songs that are as funny as any wishes to hear. The finale by the octette, a special srrangement of a number of old popular songs, Is a welcome aa well as a novel feature. For the olio a number of good specialties are given, smong them Kartelll, the acknowledged king of alack wire per formers, whose feats surpass the marvel lous. The entertainment concludes with a travesty on "Wixard of Oi," which Is both musically and humorously worth waiting for. For the first part Mr. Rlcaby has pro vided a new and really beautiful setting, and has costumed his company with ex cellent taste, the ensemble presenting a most pleasing picture. The scenery for the travesty Is also good. Two large crowds were present yesterday. The company was delayed on its way to Omaha from Kansas City by reason of a freight wreck north of St. Joseph, and the matinee was two hours late In beginning, but the people waited with much patience and good nature, and were rewarded with a performance In which each put forth his best efforts to please. "Over in our part of the world," con tinued Mr. Baumelster, "is the Yloughge heny river, and the name of the stream has always been a matter of Interest and query to visitors of that section. The tradition goes that the river waa named from an expression a hunter got off a hundred or so years ago, when thet section of western Pennsylvania wan the haunt of Indians. The hunter had been chased by a party of Old Cornstalks' tribe of scalp hunters, and he managed to secrete himself down In the timber along this stream. . One of the Indians soon found his hiding plaeo and laid for him. Every time he would poke his head out from behind the tree the In dian would fire at him and give an ex pression something like 'Ylough'. The hun ter bided his time and poked his hat out from tho tree, and as the Indian camo out from cover to get a shot at him, tho hun ter, who was a crack shot ot the Indian and sent him tumbling down, Into tho river. As tho Indian was rolling down the bsnk the hunter called out: 'Now you darned skunk Ylough again will ye? So the river wss ever after called tho Yioughgeheny." "I sea that a local balloonist came very near getting his everlasting through the failure of the big cannon going oft at the oroDer time." said Dan Haley, a Kansas City traveling man, Baturday evening:. . "His accident recalls a funny thing, that happened a few years ago at Barnum & Bailey's circus. I think It was at St. Louis. A woman was to be shot from a big cannon way up Into the air and then catch hold of a trapese bar at the top of the tent. It was advertised as the big event of the show, and always brought the most thun derlng applause. On this occasion tha tent was crowded at the afternoon performance, and when this act was to come on tho au dience was In thrilling expectancy. . The cannon waa a whopping big affair and the' dainty little woman resplendant In tights snd wings was put Into it feet first. Tha ring master explained that it wait genu ine case of shooting her out oi ,the cannon by meana of powder Just like any ordinary projectile. Well, tho signal was given and the fellow that was to pull the lanyard went through the motions In proper shape and out shot tho woman. She caught the trapese all right and after she had settled herself off went tho cannon wKh a thun dering boom and lots of smoke. Tho ridicu lousness of the thing did not strike the audience at first, but It aoon caught on and the roar of laughter and guying that fol lowed actually atopped tho performance." "Talking of balloon ascensions," contin ued Haley. "I used to hear a good one about a balloon ascension down in Ken tucky years ago. A fellow had made an ascension from a county fair grounds, and a mile or two away a lot of darkeys were holding a camp meeting. In descending the balloon came down over tho camp meeting grounds. The darkeys were frightened out of their wits and all of them took to cover but one old, rheumatlo fellow who couldn't get away. The balloon came down right near where ho was standing, and as the aeronaut stepped out of tho basket the old darky lifted his hat to him gracefully and said: " 'Good mornln' Massa Jesus, How's yo' Pa?' " "The Pnnkln Masker" at the Krng. Here Is a plsy that Is worthy of a better name. It Is a drama of the rural life, but so different from those to which we have become accustomed that it Is really re freshing. The development of the hero an' the confusion of the villous Is bought about on lines totally at variance to those which have been established by canon for this sort of play, snd the originality dis played by the author, Mr. Lawrence Bus sell, Is as naive aa it Is . unexpected. One hardly expects much from a play so Inaptly christened, any more thsn one would ex pect a great deal from a boy called Jabec. consequently the delights of the piece, as they are unfolded, "ore all the more rel ished because they are unlooked for. Briefly, the piece deals with a graduate of Ann Arbor, who has gone back to his rural home and fallen again into the ways and speech of the people. He Is nom inated for congress by a party hopelessly In the minority In the district, but his opponent, a banker,, decamps Just before the election, a heavy defaulter, and the man who was put up as a Joke Is elected. The villain of the piece Is merely a rail road promoter, who wants tha congress man's support and who, aafe In the pros pect of tho banker's election, wins the punkln buskers girl away from him. and as a mere Incident, borows her money. A little subplot of the play Involves the white caps and other" featurea of rural Indiana life." Its working out Is along the most natural lines, the situations being all easy, and not a cllrrisx strained for. Horace Newman, who Is called upon to enact Jim DanMs the punkln husker who eventually finds himself, is a capable actor, and gives' a satisfying and intelli gent personality to the' part. He does Just about what any man- would do under he circumstances, and 'doesn't make half as much fuss about It as the average man would. Emma Davis makes Alice Thatcher, the heroine, a swoet lovable girl. She has tho double advantage of youth and good looks, and "easily plays the part of a frank, disingenuous girl. Miss Annie Inman does the real bit of character work In her role of Sarah Thatcher, the bustling, active, good-natured wife and mother on a farm. Tho others In the company are all capable, and assist in moving the piece smoothly along. It has a distinct comedy element, totally divorced from the b'gosh Idea, and therefore the more enjoyable. Two large audiences were present st the Krug yesterday to enjoy and applaud the play, which will bo continued until after nrunrsuay evening, wnn a matinee on Wednesday. WILL WAIT ON SCANNELL Catholic Printer! Appoint Committee to Explain Oath to Bishop. HOLD IT NOT INIMICAL TO THE CHURCH Contend that Clergy Haa Misconceived Import and Will Be sat lifted When Matter Is Presented In Rlnht Light. Local Roman Catholic members of the International Typographical union met at Labor temple yesterday afternoon and passed resolutions disclaiming the construc tion placed upon a certain provision In their constitution by the Catholic clergy, or cer tain members of It, and appointed a com mittee to wait upon Bishop Scannell of tha diocese of Omaha and advise him In a for mal statement of the construction which the union places upon this provision. The provision in -question Is that which deals with the printer's allegiance to his union and which some of the prominent Catholic clergy of the country. Including Bishop 8cannell, have Interpreted as re quiring allegiance to the union. first and above that to any other society or organiza tion, whether It be social, fraternal or re ligious. Of course under such an Interpre tation the clergy naturally concludes that any Catholic members of this union are hound by their oath to give precedence in their allegiance to the union rather than to the church, and that under these condi tions the clergy will refuse to grant abso lution for the sins of any Catholic member of the union who pursues this course. Bishop Scannell is said to have declared that If such was the true construction of this provision he nor any other true Cath olic priest could absolve 'the sins of s Cath olic printer who followed out the injunc tions of the order. The printers discussed the Issue calmly and without directing any revere criticisms toward Hlf-hop Scannell or any of the clergy who has expressed these views, merely decided among themselves that the priests had obtained a misconception of the oath and discussed It publicly without first giving it thorough consideration or making invesfiMH" i0 ascertain its actual sig nificance. Tho printers all agreed that they did not regard the oath of their union as Inimical or conflicting with their faith or obligations as Catholics, and expressed the belief that when thoroughly understood the matter would be entirely satisfactory to the clergy. The printers further declJed to request their international president and secretary, Messrs. Lynch and Bramwood, respectively, to Issue a public statement Interpreting this misunderstood section of the constitu tion that further doubt or misconception might be avoided. The committee appointed to wait on Bishop Scannell was composed of these members: F. A. Kennedy. Patrick Boyle. Thomas Doyle, Thnmss Dunn. H. H. Clnl- I borne. They will decide today when to i make the visit.
