vorId after all. as men bad come to think,
was not to go about doing good, an lie
uppofled It to be, but to offer Himself
upon the cross, a sacrifice for the ransom
of a world. This notion, early proclaimed,
has held on down Into our day; and only
now alnce it Is beginning to be given up,
re we astonished to find so little echo
cf the gospels In other portions of the New
Testament.
"But here Is one, Baying caught up un-
pnlatakahly from the discourses of Jesus,
he Is was who coined the phrase: 'Ho
that bath ears to hear, let blm hear,' and
frequent was the use He made of it to

re pleased to find the writer of the
AponaJypse harking back to the Great
Teacher.

No one, then, we ee has an ear to bear

eager and expectant, the longed-for call
need be only a whisper. Excited attention
will not only magnify a faint sound. It
may even change the nature of the sound,
that reports of It will be wldelr at
variance. Once, we are told, when Jestu
had been discoursing with unusual power
of His kingdom and of His own Impend
ing fate, there came a sudden and stnrt
ling sound. The crowd said It was a clap
f thunder; and as they were the least
zcltsd they were probably correct. But
one of the emotional disciples .declured
there was a voice from heaven, and even
taught the words spoken. Other disciples
Tnougni it was an angel speaking, but
could make out nothing he said. Taking
hie for an actual Incident, it onlv hn&
tow excitement disqualifies the senses for
mining a creditable report."
Empty Minds a Myth.
Mr. Mann spoke of the notion that a
tninlster has only to open his mouth and
Ood will fill it, a bequest of the other
notion, he said, that the Bible was writ
ten by men who sat down without a
thought in their beads and wrote what
was given them by inspiration, nnd quoted
the reply of Mr. Angier, a Unitarian min
ister, to a Quaker critic, who objected to
written sermons:
" 'Twcre well If one could be sure of
that; but do you know, I have often
thought It would be better If your preach
ers would do my way. I write my sermon
on Monday, when I can, and then It takes
me all the reBt of the week to make up
my mind whether It is a message of the
spirit, with the result that I frequently
destroy It and write another." Continuing,
-Mr. Mann said:
"Many preachers might profit by Mr.
Angler's example. A fatal fluency too
men does duty as Inspiration. A bright
thought may come to one on the spur of
the moment, one knows not how, but it Is
not always safe to conclude that It comes
from the Lord. The devil has shown him
self at times a cunning fashioner of
phrases. At all events the Lord la ' not

A most gentle soul was once conferring
with Mr. Kmerson over a hymn he had
written and on which be wanted the aage's

change one line in order that it might

murred, urging that It came to him In
that ahape aa by Inspiration, and he did
not fel at liberty to tamper with a word
of the spirit. 'My good friend,' said the
rritlc. the Holy Ghost never uses bad
grammar.' Our street preachers will not
agree with Mr. Kmerson In thla, but he
was assuredly correct aa regards the pub

Holy Ghost never deals In bad logic
These principles rigorously applied would
materially reduce the bulk of sermonising.

II r. Frank lake- speak In Itohemlan
to Large Audience of Countrymen.
Dr. Frank Iske of Chicago, the eminent
Ilohemlan scholar, and who is recognised
by his people In this country as the leader
of advanced religions thought, addressed
a large audience of Ms countrymen at
Hohemla hall. South Thirteenth street,
from 2:.10 until 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Dr. Iske Is a combination of giant stature
and giant intellect. He Is a very large
man and entertains very "large" and broad
views regarding the religious doctrines
which have dominated the mother country
for centuries. Born at Veliesln, Bohemia,
December 3, lWU, be was educated for the
pulpit and was ordnlned a priest of the
Catholic, faith In the year 18S6. He clung
to bis vestments until the propagation of
the dogma of Infallibility by Tope Pius
IX, In the year 1870. He then Joined the
"old church," associating himself with
that eminent religionist and power In the
old church. Bishop Iterzog, and In IS'JS
was vicar of the diocese of Bern, Switzer
land. For a brief period he was stationed
at Prague, Bohemia, where he established
a church and lectured in his own language
and was made the object of continued and
bitter opposition, which finally became
open persecution.
Dr. Ike made bis firit visit to the
I'nlted States two years ago and after a
brief etay returned to Bohemia.
Casting aside ail religious fetters." he
said. "I decided to come again to this
lovely country and to lecture on liberal
thought and progress among my people,
believing this country to be an exception
ally bright and promising field for my
chosen work."
The doctor's lecture was delivered In
his native tongue and dealt with the
"Progressive Kfforts of the Bohemian Peo
ple" in all lands. They were a small but
progressive nation, he said; a nation that
had done Its duty to the world and had
contributed more to the progress of the
world, according to its size and number
of its people, than nations of large area
and with a vast population.
"During the ages when the world was
pagan nrd paganism was universal, Bo
hemia hud espoiiBed it, hut had held It
In a different light and made of it a
milder and more elevating form of wor
ship than any other country to come un
der its domination. In the ninth century
when Christianity enlightened the world,
Catholicism had been forced upon the
mother country and it was -still bound In Us
fetters. The Christianity of the early Bo
hemians came from the southwest, from
Constantinople, and was of a refined and
elevating order. During the rQligious(wars.
covering a period of thirty years, which
great world war was originated In Bohe
mia, Catholicism .was forced 'on them, and
out Of a population of 8,000,000, 6,000,000
mill embrace the faith today. The thirty
years' war showed the character of his
people, who, stung by the Inaults and dom
ination of Ferdinand II, who threatened
the propagation ef Catholicism, revolted
and waged war for thirty years. Reli
gious liberty and freedom of thought were
paramount In this age ef progress and tua
mission was to teach these to his people:"
A linguist of renown, speaking fluently
seven languages, the doctor In now ac
quiring the eighth and will vjuster the
language of this country, having adopted
it as his field of labor. lie will during
the winter lecture In Nebraska and the
Dakota. The big reception accorded blm
in Omaha be referred to as most pleasing
and propitious.

stltuted as It Is now. Our own civil war
was one of the great examples of this
mystery. Many, many Innocent ones suf
fered for the guilt of the few. Mankind ia
united In Joy aa It Is united In sorrow. We
cannot understand why the sins of the
fathers should be visited upon the children.
As we cannot explain, we must endure, and
seek to transform our sorrow Into Joy. It
Is In this that lies the essence of the value
of the soul.
"In It nre the rudiments of spiritual life,
and It grows like the child at school. In
creases In spiritual knowledge, ever learn
ing. A spiritual life does not mean particu
larly an Intellectual life, but It does mean
to live a spiritual life simply from the In
spiration and Instinct of the worship of
Hod. Man's first conception Is the con
sciousness that he Is more than mortal. It
Is essential then, that he should know some
thing of the real vaule of the human soul,
Its orlglp from God Himself. Ood endowed
It with the mystery of life. What a won
derful gift Is God's gift of life. How Inces
sant that longing for the life beyond the
grave and the chief beauty of the soul is
Its reccptlveness of moral beauty and truth.
All things come from Thee, oh God. How
little we in health realise the true enjoy
ment of God's goodness. It Is only when
we stand before suffering and sorrow that
we can know how we are blist. The aoul
should seek to know God and then we
would love 11 Im. How many of us realize
God's goodness to us? The only way to
show our appreciation of His love Is by
service to Him, our duty to Htm and to our
fellow men. Shall we not strive earnestly
and faithfully to serve Him. Our souls be
long to God. Let us make ourselves worthy
of Ills great love by making the soul He
has temporarily given la our keeping as He
would have It."
v New Interest at Zlon.
The basket gospel meeting at Zlon Bap
tist church yesterday, which continued
during the entire day, was largely at
tended and full of Interest. There was
an enthusiastic determination to bring the
church back to its old footing as one of
the most popular of the colored churches
of Omaha. The building is to be thor
oughly repaired nnd Improved In many
ways, and will in a short time become
one of tho most attractive of the smaller
church buildings of the city. A considera
ble sum was subscribed yesterday toward
the repair fund and the work will begin
at once. In brief, the church has taken
on a new lease of mnteriul as well as
spiritual life, and has a bright future
ahead of It. .
Boy beta m Hard Fall.
Harry ltuford, who is employed by the
Windsor stables, was taking a horse home
yesterday afternoon. He met two boy
flrends on the road. Henry Harney and
Koy Pries, who lives at l'AZi Capitol avenue.
Both of the lads were taken Into the
buggy and when they reached Fifteenth
nnd Capitol avenue In some manner the
Pries boy fell out. He received a cut about
two and one-half Inches in length on the
right side of his face, and his right ear
was also lacerated. The boy was removed
to the police station in the patrol wagon,
where his injuries were dressed by the po
lice surgeon. lie was sent to his home.
Two Small Fires.
Firemen were called to 1017 South Elev

put out a Are which hud originated in an
area way In the rear of the building. The
building Ik occupied by Charles B. Bech
told and others. No damage resulted. At 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon the depart
ment was again called out to 4328 Grant
street to extinguish a blaze which had
started In a shed In the rear of that num
ber. The property Is occupied by Samuel
J. Rockwell, and the damage amounted to
120. Both tires were caused 'by children

ALL TiKEU HELP TO DO GOD'S WILL.
Xo One Alone Can Resist Evil, Says
Kcv, Mr. Herring.
"The world passeth away and the last
thereof; but ho that doeth the will of God,
abldeth forever."
This text, taken from the second chapter
of the first epistle of John, was used by
the Kev. Hubert C, Herring as the subject
of his sermon yevterday morning- at the
First Congregational church, Nineteenth
and Davenport streets.
"We are painfully Impressed with the
change and decuy which go on around us,"
said tho minister. "Is there anything any
where that will abide The text answers
yes. That something Is a man uml it is a
man who does God's will. It this phrase
means only those who do God's will )ier
fectly, it affords small comfort. But John
habitually sees each lift as a unit, and
describes It by language suited to Its most
fundamental quality. Tho man who does
the will of God, Is therefore, tho man
whose dominant desire and effort la to do
that will. Such a mun has entered upon
an eternal career."
"To John's mind, the relationship thus es
tablished, with tho divine, Is one which
nothing can break. The accident called
death, will effect It not in the least. Our
own minds echo this belief even concerning
lesser relutlons. It is Impossible to believe
that a pure and sacred friendship can be
forever terminated by an assassin's bullet,
or a clot of blood on the brain. How much
less can the friendship between an obedient
heart and it's God."
"It Is not an Immortality of influence of
which John speaks here. Such ideas are far
from the spirit of the biblical writers. He
is thinking of a persistence of personal con
sciousness and activity. It la this hope
which gives solidity and dignity to life. We
are not laboring for today or tomorrow, but
for the ages. Though the universe should
fall and crush me,' said Pascal, 'I should
lie greater than the universe, for I should
be conscious of defeat, and it would be
unconscious of victory.' But, better than
that, we know that the universe cannot
crush us who are possessors of eternal
lilt.
"Let no one think that he may at once
and unaided, begin to do God's will. The
powers of evil are too strong for us. We
must find Jesus Christ, freedom from the
guilt of our old life, and strength for a
new one. So we shall, travel calmly on and
sing In life or death. My Lord, Thy will be
done.' "

SHOWS GETTING ON CARNIVAL GROUNDS
Onlii to the Elaborate Sevr F.atrance
Thirty. Five Handrrd Additional
Electric Lights Will Be
Heqalred.
The little old books tell how Ali Baba
acquired wealth with a mystical word, how
Aladdin rublied his brass lantern for for
tune and castles, and how the god of the
skies built a wondroua palace with the
ring of the Nlblung; yet we do not turn
from the book to the carnival grounds
where equally marvelous, if somewhat
smaller structures, are going up, with any
Idea to finding there some similar agency.
But we are wrong for as usual In these
matters something Sidney has been rubbed,
and also regardless of expense.
AH day yesterday the carpenters
knocked the little nails about and Pony
Moore was busy with bis tapo measure,
while the concessionaires were planting
posts and raising tents. Today at least
Ave more of the midway attractions will
begin preparations and the business men
will begin fitting their booths.
The merry-go-round waa the first con
cessions to be placed and will make music
and dlxzy Jags Just at the left of the
Oriental main entrance. This Is the big
machine from Courtland beach, "he Fer
ris wheel Is being assembled also next to
tho merry-go-round. Harry Russell who
does the bicycle diving act will have his
shoot and tank in the same lot, which is
at the rear of the City hall. Part of the
scaffold which rises to fifty feet, has been
placed. This one-legged man will twice
a day ride down the plank incline which,
ends thirty feet from tho ground, and al
lowing the wheel to drop, dive Into a
three-foot tank which Is forty-nine feet
from his tower. The black tent for the
Palace of Illusion was up yesterday after,
noon, and will do business at the south
east corner of the Midway. Next to It,
the Stadium will be assembled today, ni
the Loop-the-Loop tomorrow. The Temple
of Terpslch.ire will be In from Chlcigo
this morning, and will establish Itself in
the upper southern part of the fun re
servation. The South Before the War
minstrels which come here from Mobile
and have strengthened their company
here, is another of the shows which will
locate today. It will be near the western
fence.
Street Will Be Shorter.
The Midway street is to be shorter this
year, as too much room was taken last
time in' this way. The Hawaiian outfit,
the Indian congress, the Laughing Mir
rors and Bostock's trained anlmula from
Coney Island, four of the big shows will
have ground space on each side of ;hli
street.
The spiral tower act of Lionel Lcgare
and the enimul show will not be In until
the last of the week, as they had ergigo
ments and It was impossible to make con
tracts of more than one week with them.
Calvert, the high wire artist, and HikI,
with hlH ducks, geese, monkeys and goats
on their platform, will be ready to do their
share of the free acting from the open
ing day. Manager Moore, says that the
Midway part of the carnival will be
ready for business October L
The same general regulations will pre
vail as last year. Confetti can be thrown
under the restrictions of last season. The
free shows will give two exhibitions cacti
dally, beginning ia the afternoon about 1:30
o'clock. There; will be two bands of
twenty-five musicians, nil being local tal
ent under the direction of O. D. Kipllnger.
These bands will not give regular con
certs, but will HU1 in nnd keep thing,
moving all day. The county fair will have
Its exhibits on the west side, of Nineteenth
street, as formerly, and promises a good
show. The Midway will have a much more
elaborate entrance arch this ytar. which Is
to be placed on Eighteenth between Dodge
and Douglas. The booths will be of about
the same number and location as last
year. The Moorish entrance on Eighteenth
street will have six turnstiles and is very
effective In appearance. A smaller one
will be placed on Farnam. About 2,&X
more electric lights will be used this year,
the new entrance alone taking a large ad
ditional number.

"Ben Ilur," the most wonderful spectacle
ever sent on the road, will begin Its second
Omaha engagement at the Boyd theater
this evening. The entire company arrived
last night from Toledo, O., where the show
closed on Saturday night, coming through
on special trains, and today will rehearse
at the Boyd, so that everything will be
ready for the ilrst performance this even
ing. The pieco opens with one of its most
beautiful tableaux! the Star of Bethlehem,
and the meeting of the Wise men in the
Desert, and to enjoy this all should be In
their seats when the curtain goes up
promptly at 8. A special effort Is being
made thla season to give tho overture and
Incidental music proper rendition, and to do
this an orchestra has been organized by
Klaw & Erlanger, comprising twenty-four
pieces, each member a skilled performer on
his Instrument. The engagement is for one
week, with matinees on Wednesday and
Saturday, and plenty of good scats may
still be obtained at the box office.

usually gets It, no matter how far she has
to go. "L'nder Southern Skies" Is southern
only because it la so set. If the stage man
ager would substitute icebergs for sub
tropical flora, the piece could as well be
railed "At the North Pole," for the name
has nothing to do with the story. It might
have happened anywhere, and In all human
probability never did. In the first act the
characters are Introduced and an Inkling is
given of the incident on which the action
of the piece turns; In the second act things
begin to occur, and In the third the flood
tide la reached, with a genuine emotion
stirring climax; while the fourth is aa
peaceful an antl-cllmax as one could wish,
where everything is straightened out, all
are united or reunited, old scores are for
given and everybody Is mado as happy as
possible, saving only the unfortunate young
man who allowed his seal In love to lead
him Into doing a very unpretty trick; and
even he Is sent away with a new and better
feeling In his heart, to lead a different life,
probably In the next township, although
the locality Is not mentioned.
Most ambitiously Is the piece staged, and
most effectively, too. In fuct, its success
must be attributed as much to the stage
manager as to the author. Its scenic set
ting is artistic, the exterior being one on
which money and pains have been lavished
without stint, while the Interior Is an ex
cellent reproduction of an old southern
mansion. The birthday gathering In ' the
first act and the Hallowe'en merrymaking
In the second are bits of very refreshing
realism, and were much enjoyed by the
audiences yesterday.
The company Is a large one, for the cast
calls for about double the number of people
usually seen In a popular-price piece, and
Is very well balanced as to ability. No ex
treme of histrionic ability is called for In
any of the roles, and yet there Is a fair
scope for some real acting, and this la
forthcoming. Miss Victorson, who has the
role of Ielia, the sorely-tried heroine, rises
to the occasion In the climax of both the
second and third acts with much power
and with well-judged emotion. Mr. Ave
llng, who has the part of the lover who
loses, shows a strong Inclination to overdo
his share of the work, but not so much so
ns to mar the scenes. One of the real de
lights Is the naturalness of the stage pic
tures and the enthusiasm with which the
young folks enter Into the games and
dances Incidental to the second act.
"Under Southern Skies" will be at the
Krug until after Wednesday, with a mati
nee on Wednesday afternoon.
Vaudeville at the t'relghton-Orpheani.
A bill largely predominated by music,
with an accompaniment of really clever
gymnastics and some good fun opened the j
second week of the season at the Crelgh-
mn-urpneum, wun me cusiomary Dig
Sunday attendance. Easily the favorltei
are the Waterbury brothers and Tenny,
who have been coming to Omaha annually
for many years, and who have never
reached the limit of their welcome. And,
ton, one Is inclined to believe that they
have not yet reached the limit of their ca
pacity for making both good music and
good fun. All three are fine performers on
a number of different instruments, and
Fred Tenny Is one of the funniest come
dians that ever blacked up. They were
recalled again and again last night Among
the newcomers, the Josselln trio scored the
hardest. In this turn two women and a
man do a series of graceful and one or two
difficult acts on a trupeso, and wind up
with a series of suspended poses, producing
some beautiful pictures In the limelight,
the effect being ub novel as It Is pleasing.
The dancing of the Fleury trio Is grace
ful and pleasing, and won much applause.
Annette Moore's very sweet and well con
trolled soprano voice won her a double re
call, to which she responded. Hodges and
Launchmere sing well, nnd dance some,
and the McWaters and Tyson company
contribute a sketch and some Imitations
to the bill. Haines and Vldocq furnish a
bunch of stuff on the order of Jainei
Moores' monologue, and would likely be
come more popular If they didn't spend so
much time roasting the audience for re
fusing to throw fits over their ancient
"wheezes" and mildewed "Junk."
