"Fallow gTnund It ground productive, but
Uncultivated." suld Hev. J. W. Coriley at
First Bajtl?t church yejtcrn'ny morning.
"In the cne used In the bible It is th?
Unuiml gift ant powers of flod's people
the buried talents, the hMdcn possibilities
f the church.
"The nliiPtefnth century was a most re
Bnnrkiible on In material progress. It whs
a, century of Invention and development of
Che Interior energy of the world. Steam
and electricity played Inrge factors In this
Unfolding, yet It 1 well to remember that
team was a possibility mid a fact before
the existence of man and that electricity
Jiad been hurling bolts of lightning through
the air long bofure this force was utilized.
"Wv simply have discovered and learned
fcow to use these forces. The twentieth cen
tury ought t'i be one of unsurpassed intel
lectual, spiritual and material develop
ment, and it will be if we lenrn how to
tirrak up our fallow ground. .
"The church of Ood Is Just beginning to
pse the mighty energy that It has at Its
command, but I wlsh to call your atten
tion to certain dupurtmcnts of Christian
Ufo whero neglect is likely to be most
common and where it Is likely to do the
tnoet harm.
Field of Religious Knowledge.
"The first field that 1 would speak of Is
Hhat of religious knowledge. As a. phil
osopher has said, knowledge Is power. It
Is also a condition of success In all lines of
ndeavor. What Is true of the wide range
of human activity Is true also of re
ligion. We cannot hope to accomplish the
!rork given us to do if we are unacquainted
With tht! history and underlying principles
Of the church. Kvery growth and period
of advancement of the cause of religion
Etaa been when the rank and file were filled
With understanding. Nations decline
through Ignorance. The bible, I am sorry
to say, Is an unused book by many pro
Jessed Christians, who carelessly neglect
to cull the knowledge and the Inspiration
sjrhlch thLs book holds. There Is many pa
ralysis of souls through shocking, awful
Ignorance. I am afraid to estimate the
homes whore the bible is never opened and
religious literature of any kind forms no
part of the family reading. If willful, per
sistent Ignorance of this kind Is long con
tinued the church will soon lose Its place
In society.
"The second field that I wish to speak of
Is that of prayer. Jesus was pre-eminently
a. man of, prayer. The heroes of the bible
were men of prayer. The conquests of the
church and morals have been made by men
piled with prayer. Don't bother about the
philosophy or theory of prayer, but con
pern yourself with the fact of prayer.
Field of Duty.
"The third field Is that of duty. Jesus
Bald It Is more blessed to give than to re
ceive. There la a mighty power In the con
centration of gifts, and as an example the
triumph of the missionary field today may
be used. There Is a great need of giving
tight here at home. Churches are dying
Out In the suite dying out because of
sjtinglness and because of no other reason
Figures show that the American people pay
git time as much each year for liquor and
tobacco as they do toward the support of
the missions. I don't with to. critic)
those who give, but I do think titers Is an
immense area of fallow ground in this
Held that might be made to yield Urge re
turns. Field o( the Cbarcfc.
. "Th fourth field is the field of the
fchurch. 'Upon this rock I build my
Church,' said . Christ, 'and the fates of
hell shall not prevail against it.' Don't
pay attention to those who attack the
church, but remember that If the church
"were removed from the movements of re
form the world would sink to blacknetta and
ruin. , Strong, vigorous, robust churches are
wanted the world over. Stand by the
church and attend Its services.
"Lastly, I wish to direct your attention
toward the field of personal endeavor for
the sake of others. After all, this Is the
trlnclple that Is Inherent In all good acts
and which Is behind all true Christian con
duct. The personal touch, the personal help
and the personal effort to do well toward
others Is the great thing to strive for."

The subject of Rev. II. C. Herring's ser

'Believers Were Furthermore Added to the

"Why the word 'Believer' was the name
chosen In preference to that of 'disciple' Is
beottie a disciple is one who believes In
truth In following Ood, who sent forth His
Eton, who died on ths cross and rose from

things, es referred to by Csrtyle. as the
apotheosis of the 'everlnsring no.'
"The Christian spirit is the receptive, be
lieving spirit. There Is another destr-.icllve
md unbelieving spirit which rejects, shuts
out. Is without faith. Is hermetically sealed.
The other is open, hopeful, receptive and
believing The ag -s are full of examples of
the spirit of belief running ngninst nil man-n'-r
of disbelief, and which would rather lie
the subjects of b"llef than unbelief. Man
generally holds faster to the believing spirit
than to the superstitious spirit. The disci
ples first of all believed In these supreme
things: 'ThHt Ood so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Bon that man
might not perish, but have everlasting life:
I am the resurrection and the Life; he that
belleveth on me shall have everlasting life.
The life I live In the flesh I live by faith in
Ood.'
"The New Testament takes one single
moment of our lives and exalts It above
every other moment by faith In Jesus
Christ. lie who teaches that the New Tes
tament does not exalt faith teaches wrong
fully. Our faith In Jesus Christ makes us
what of good there Is In us. Our first con
sciousness of the belief that Christ Is our
Savior Is the most Important hour of our
lives; was It In the little school bouse or In
the little white church of by-gone days?
That was the supreme moment of our lives
when we first said and felt 'Lord. I believe.'
If you examine the noblest lives you will
find them the product of a faith In Christ
some time, some where Implanted there.
"Faith In Itself has no value, no force,
life to stimulate the divine Influence along
that avenue where the spirit of Ood comes
In, which we must all have before we have
Faith has Its transforming power In human
gotten free from ourselves."
CHHISTTAV9. TIIR DIPREMR FAITH.
Rrr, Mr. Walk Discourses on ls
Great Religions.
The Rev. George Kdward Walk, rector
of St. Taul's church. Council muffs, oc
cupied the pulpit at Trinity cathedral yes
terday and delivered a sermon on Chris
tianity, taking for his text the first four
verses of the tenth chapter of Isaiah.
"Arise, shine, for thy light Is come and
the glory of the Lord Is risen upon thee.
For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
and gross darkness, the people; hut the
Lord shall arise upon thee, and nations
shall come to thy light, and kings to the
brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes
round about and see."
Rev. Mr. Walk dwelt upon explanations
of the six great beliefs In their teachings
and of the Christian, he said:
"This religion teaches that heaven is an
approach to the infinite and that hell Is
the retrocession from it. Christ does not
teach that man Is utterly bad totally de
pravedbut It Is made possible through
the grace of Ood, to ascend to a moral
and spiritual plane, where kindness takes
the place of cruelty and happiness of
misery.
"Vice Is the parent source of misery
national, domestic, economical and per
sonal. Virtue, Its opposite, Is all happiness,
and rk' X'ter is the seat of both vice and
vlrtueVThe power to suppress vice, is not
In man, but rests entirely with Ood.
"All ths religious world has had Its birth
In the east. The west has been great in
statesmanship, literature and arts, and all
this helps to mnke man contented. All
religions have originated with the descend
ants of Hhem; even Christ, Himself, de
scended from Shorn, and he Is called Lord
of Lords, and King of Kings.
"Ood had his missionaries In all the ages
and among all the people of the earth. In
some form, the pre-lncarnated Bon of Ood
has been contemporary with all the ages,
as the angel of the covenant, the burning
bush, the pillar of cloud and fire, for the
ages have not been left in total dark
ness. ,
"Christianity Is ths grand culmination of
a series of rsllglops from beginning, to ths
present day. All that Is greatest and beat
In the ancient and modern religions piuy
be traced to the book of God, or the God
of Books. God Is the author of truth, and
that which Is truth In one. Is truth in all.
In comparison with the religion of Christ,
all others are as mole-hills, for Christ's
challenge Is, The tree Is to be judged by
Its fruits." . ,
"Budda taught that all human woes come
from the desire for existence; that the
struggle of every life, should be the mys
terious Nirvana, that stats when all de
sires cease and all passion dies. Nirvana
means extinction, and this Is absolutely
the fundamental doctrine of a certain sys
tem over which a few of our American
would-be-wlse are going crazy.
"Christ teaches that those who oppose
the gratification of any natural appetite
within the limit of the la of Ood, are
wise above what Is written and so array
themselves against God himself.
"Confucius taught a supreme contempt
for women, one theory being that one boy
was worth ten girls, and' hat women were
to be subjugated to the desires of their
parents, husbands and brothers. lie gave
reasons for granting divorce, the last one
being, when the wife talked too much.
"All the founders of these religions weiw.-
great men, yet Christ waa not a phlN
nthroplHt, and his religion is the tery
foundation of philanthropy. He built i.o
refuge, for the neglected, yet said: 'Of
such Is the Kingdom of Heaven.'
"The boy Is now living, who will see a
supreme court of the world, with England,
America, France, Germany and all the civ
ilised nations, as contestants at Iki bar
for the rights of man, the navies converted
into missionary ships and the armies doing
police duty among the remnant of sav.
ages and heathen not yet under the power
of the gospel."
BID PABEWEI.L TO THEIR FLOCK.
Rev. J. A. aid Mrs. Dooley Leave
Omaha, for Minneapolis.
The First Pentecostal church bid fare
well to its pastor. Rev. J. A. Dooley and
to Mrs. Dooley, who go today to Min
neapolis. A special service was held at
t o'clock In the afternoon, beginning with
a lovo feast and concluding with preach
ing by Rev. Mr. Dooley. Many well wishes
were expressed for the departing In the
prayers of the congregation.
"I thank those who have helped In the
work by their presence and by their pray
ers," said the retiring preacher. "Since
we first started to preach holiness and
staked down our tent at Fifteenth and
Davenport streets, ;,500 souls have been
saved. This work has cost between 15,000
and ttf.000, but we have now no debts and I
thank the Lord for this. Brother Bresee
feels the importance of this field apd will
supply the vacancy shortly. I urge every
one to help along by his presence and
their work. Ood's cause takes money to
carry it along."
Rev. and Mrs. Dooley came here four
and one-half years sgo from Springfield,
III., to begirt the work of the Nasarine
church of California and have been here
since. They go to Minneapolis to open
up that field. Dr. Bresee of Los Angeles
is the superintendent of this work and will
shortly recommend some one for the va
cancy here. The Dooleys held evening

ENORMOUS RUN ON BUILDING
Approach of Winter Will e Tremendous
Volcsje of Work Completed.
STRIKES AND RAIN SERIOUS OBSTACLES
Despite All Setbarka, However, Omaha
Will Close Year with Immense
Additions to Its List at
Hla- fflrnrtnres.
Of the buildings started in Omaha this
summer at the close of the lsbor differ
ences all but two wJJI lie completed or en
closed before cold weather pats a partial
stop to the construction, and" for these two
tho Auditorium and the street railway
power house those most Interested promlRe
a roof and walls complete. The 'summer,
putting aside all disadvantage through late
beginnings due to strikes, has been a diffi
cult building season and all work has been
much retarded. AH completion estimates
now made lay stress on "If we have good
weather." While a large amount of build
ing has been going on, yet much that waa
contemplated has been deferred until next
spring. Among this Is practically all the
church work planned the First Baptist and
First Christian buildings, additions to Bt.
Joseph's hospital and smaller work, the
Hayden addition on Douglas street and
others.
Some buildings will yet be begun this fall
or Is at least contemplated. Bids will be
opened Wednesday for construction of the
main portion of the Methodist Episcopal
hospital and for the operating pavilion. An
early start on this work had been intended,
hut the high price of materials and the un
settled condition made contractors adverse
to figure on so large a building. Architect
Thomas R. Kimball has a number of con
tractors figuring on the building now.
Chairman Uoss of the building committee
says that the bids are called for at this
time because the conference will begin Its
session in Fremont Wednesday and they
wished to be able to report the cost of
building. While he hopes for a beginning
this fall, at least of getting the foundation
In place, he fears that this is not very prob
able. The building will be three stories and
basement, steel construction and fireproof.
The part to be first erected will be only a
beginning for a very extensive hospital.'
Jew Donates Street Balldlnsr.
Work will be begun this week for the new
building, H0S Douglas street, to replace one
of the two which fell In. Fisher & Laurie
have drawn the plans for the McCague In
vestment' company, and the contract has
been let for the west party wall, which Is
first necessary to protect the Omaha Tea
& Coffee company building. Contracts for
the rest of the building will be let as fast
as the architects complete the specifica
tions. The new building is to be three
stories and basement, of white terra cotta
and dark buff Roman brick, and In the
modern classic style. The windows will be
large plate glass, eighteen Inches entenslrfn
and all metal. The three stories will ex
tend to the depth of eighty feet and par
ticular pains have been taken with the
lighting. The stairs for the upper floors
open on the street, so thaf these floors can
be used Independently of the store if de
sired. Another extensive Improvement begun
about September 12 la the enlargement of
Willow Springs brewery. Walter Molse ex
pects this work to cost $70,000 and to be
finished this fall or early winter. The two
engine houses, the contract for which has
been let by the city, are among the con
structions which have yet practically to
be begun. - 1
The brick contractors for the Auditorium
seem to think they are getting along at a
satisfactory rate and will come under the
wire. The maBona have lately been at
work on the east end of the building,
bringing the wall up to the level of the
north and south walls. Two of the piers
on which rest the big girders which hold
up the roof trusses, may have to be par
tially rebuilt, as they were injured when
one of the Interior retaining walls of the
basement was washed away by the rains.
This will, however, not delay the roofing
of the building.
First Traas Vp.
"The first truss for the Auditorium roof,"
says Mr. Vlerllng, "has been pulled up,"
and he expects to have the ten, with the
exception of the proscenium arch, all up
by October 15. In pulling up these trusses
It is necessary to place one and then place
a second as soon as possible, and bolt In
the lateral bracing. Then the next pair
can be hoisted. The greater part of the
iron work Is on the ground, but aside from
the truss raising the iron men will have
to work with the masons. Paxton & Vier
llng's contract ends with lA placing of
the roof supports. Mr. Vlerllng sees ho
reason why the roof should not be In place
by November 1. AH of these things, of
course. If the weather Is such as not to
Interfere too much with the work.
The New Telephone exchange building has
reached such a point that with favorable
weather the brick work will be complete
in about seven days. There remains now
less than the upper half of the third story
to build. The Iron pillars and girders also
are in place to this height and only the
Iron work which supports the gravel roof
has yet to be put In. All of the Interior
partitioning and other finishing is, of
course, yet to do. The contractors prom
ised to have the building Inclosed by Oc
tober 1, but have been hindered by weather
conditions. General Manager Lane expects
that this stage will be reached a month
later and hopes to have the new telephone
exchange in operation by March 1. The
modrm switchboard has been complete
since July 1, but Is stored in Chicago until
it can be assembled in the building here.
The company, says Mr. Lane, hopes to
occupy Its hew Council Bluffs exchange by
the first of the year. (
Has gerloas Delays.
The street car company has perhaps
been the greatest sufferer by reason of
weather hindrances and the power house at
the lower end of Jackson street, which
It hoped to occupy late this fall, is still
incomplete. The ground being ' low, the
water has stood constantly In the excava
tion and has to be pumped out almost
dailv. This In the first place greatly hln
dered the grading work and afterward the
driving of piles. The basement walls are
of concrete and are being placed by the
GlUonlte Construction company of St.
Louis. The west snd north basement walls
are now finished and about one-half of
the east wall is in place. The south end
has not been touched, nor has the founds
tton fur the partition. Notwithstanding
present conditions. Manager Smith is hope
ful that with good weather, the building
will be enclosed by New Year.
The nonarrival of the structural steel and
Iron has caused another delay. The build
tng being a steel frame structure, these
must be placed before any brick work can
be begun. This overdue material Is ex
pected to arrive in a short time, and then
Rocheford a Gould, the brick contractors,
will put to work as large a force as pos
sible and as the power house will be only
one story high above the cement. It Is
possible that they may complets their por
lloa of the work.

The George H. Ie company expects to
move Into Its new building on Harney street
sometime between the first and fifth of Oc
tober. The structure Is practically com
plete, and the workmen are now engaged In
fitting up and finishing with hardwood the
office. The company will give up Its old
location, 1006 Farnam street, and will have
three times the room at its new building.
The big new Adams A Kelly sash and
door factory next to the old plant on Nich
olas street, will be finished in seven days.
The new machinery will arrive from the
east at about that time and will require
about thirty days to Install. The building
which Is 66 fee by 157 will contain no offices
except that of the factory superintendent.
Excavation work Is going on for the new
engine house at Eleventh and Jackson
streets whenever the soil Is consistent
enough to be scooped up. Yancey & Red
man, the contractors, expect to have the
work finished In three or four days If there
is good weather, otherwise they think of
negotiating for a marine dredge.
The work so far accomplished for the trtw
addition to the Omaha club Is the removing
and cutting away of cement flagging and
portico supports and part of the wall of the
court In order to make place for founda
tions. The Slosberg double flat at Twentieth and
Dodge streets Is practically complete on the
outside and the plastering Is nearly half
done.
The Midland Glass A Paint company will
finish Its repairs In about two weeks and
will begin moving In Its stock and acquiring

JEWISH NEW-YEAR TONIGHT
Month of Tishri Makei Advent at Sumet
and Will Be Observed.
WELCOMED BY SOLEMN SERVICES
Omaha Jerrs Join Their Brethren
Thronghont the World' In Paying
Homage to This Religions
Festival.
This evening at sunset will begin the Jew
ish New year. It Is the month of Tishri,
according to the Jewish calendar, snd with
today will end the year t.t&l and the
year 8.6K4 will begin. In all the syna
gogues snd temples, both orthodox snd
liberal, the new year will be welcomed with
solemn services.
' It Is seldom that a Jew Is absent from
the place of worship during the time pre
ceding this feast, and whatever changes
and modifications In religious doctrines and
practices may be noticeable In the last
fifty years, within the Hebrew fold, the
two festivals of the fall season, the "fear
ful days," the new year, Rosh Hashshanah,
and the day of atonement, Tom Hak Kip
purln, occurring at an Interval of ten days
from each other, have retained almost all
their spell to stir the Jewish heart to Its
lowest depths. The ancient rites and tra
ditions of the old law are observed to a
letter.
Prayers for the whole of mankind, both
Jew and Gentile, will be offered tomorrow
evening, at sunset, and will be late Into
the night. Some of the most devout wor
shipers will reach the temples as early
as ( o'clock. Sometimes the services last
until the next morning, when the people
commence to gather for another service.
As a day of memorial, today Is called Tom
Hozlkkaron, and as a day of judgment,
It Is called Tom Hardin. The day Is
significant of universal salvation and all
prayers will be devoted to that thought.
Prayers of peace and salvation will be
chanted by the cantors, and the choirs will
respond with the fervent "Amen." God
sits in judgment and the faithful pray for
blessing for the coming year.
Scrolls of Living and Dead.
In their belief, two scrolls are opened
before the Lord, the one of the living and
the other of the dead. Into these, accord
ing to their works, are recorded the names
of men, and they are judged by the Lord's
divine wisdom. On this day go forth the
decrees that bring life or death, plenty or
poverty, drouth or abundance, of rain,
peace or war to men and nations.
Originally costly trumpets were used on
this occasion at the temple in Jerusalem,
and the rude ram's' horn was utilized In
the poorer quarters, but the latter Is now
deemed requisite by the orthodox, though
In the liberal churches, an appropriate
psalm Is sung to the accompaniment of
the trumpet. The trumpets are usually
blown by the elders of the congregation,
who stand before the altar clad In richly
ornamented prayer shawls and high caps,
and these shrill blasts from the trumpets,
proclaim to the prostrate audience the sign
of faith In the last great trumpet, which
proclaims the end of death, Satan and all
evil. With this fall, the Lord will come
unto his own people and will be king of
the earth, ruling alone and unrivaled.
This blowing of the horn is said to re
call tHe revelations of God on Sinai. It
Is sometimes construed as an appeal to the
hardened sinner, urging him to repent of
his evil ways, the broken notes Indicating
the contrition that should possess the hum
bled heart. The trumpet In the Jewish
language Is called a shophar.
An old Jewish custom is 'that the faith
ful are to hunt out a stream of water, or
lake, and,, kneeling by its shores, with
fervent prayers ask for tie healthy and
everlasting perpetuation of ths human race.
even as the fish are perpetuated.
Day of Fasting,
Wednesday has no connection with the
New Tear's services and will be a day of
fustlng. It is called the feast of Gedaliah,
In memory of the son of Ahlkam, who was
left by Nebuchadnezzar as the governor of
a poor people to till the soil and care for
the vineyards after the beat people of
Judah had been carried to Babylon In cap
tivity. Gedallah's rule lasted only seven
months and at the end of that time he
waa murdered by Ishmael, eon of Nethonlal
of the royal family, who craved for su
premacy in Pulestlne. On Wednesday night
the children will gather about their
mothers' knees to hear this story ao dear
in the hearts of the Jews.
For some days preceding Tlshrt and for
the first ten days after Rosh Hashshanah,,
the people eat sparingly and devote their
minds to thoughts of faith and the future.
The prayers at home are of equal conse
quence with those offered in the synagogue
October 1, which will be the tenth day of
Tishri, will be observed as a day of atone
ment, the most solemn day in the Jewish
year. From sunset on the Wednesday night
preceding a rigorous fast will be opened
until three stars are seen in the heavens
Thursday night, and no Jew will touch
bit of food or drink, nor carry on any
kind of business, and will not have
thought of any kind but prayer. There will
be no visiting, but all the men, women
and older children will go to the synagogue
for twenty-four hours' fasting. At night
when the proper time arrives the ending of
the day's prayers will be announced by a
blast from the shophar, then the days of
feasting will begin. Following the day of
atonement the feast of the tabernacles be
gins and it will last nine days and be a
time of general rejoicing, just as Easter
follows Good Friday in the Calendar of
the Catholic church. During this time
comes the feast of the law "the Great
Hosanna" and the Jews all over the
world pour forth prayers of rejoicing, for
the Great God. hath again blessed His peo
ple and they are again reunited with Him."
