CONVERSION OF SOUL A FACT
Chang Wfonjht in Man by Chr'ii L it
Tsnibls and Besirs-
MUST FIRST BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN
fclov. A. 8. C. Clarke Dll on Disci
ples' Finn" Confnslon and
4nerle to Christ Over the
Kingdom of Heaven.
Rev. A. 8. C. Clarke of Lowe Avenue
Presbyterian church spoke yesterday morn
ing from the text Matthew 18: l-, "At the
same Ume came the disciples unto Jesus
eying, who In. the greatest In the king
dom of lieaven7 And Jesus called a 1UU
child unio Mm and Set him In the midst
of them, and said. Verily I say unto you.
except ye be converted, and become as
little children, ye shall not enter Into the
kingdom of Leaven."
"Tliese are very weighty words from a
teacher who was not In the habit of
trifling with any subject," said Mr. Clarke.
They teach the necessity, nature and re-
sulte of conversion. First, the occasion.
The disciples vrere wrought up over the
question of their Individual positions In the
coming expected kingdom, the question of
social precedence and political power.
Their minds and hearts were buey with
elf-seeklng, self-aggrandisement and valn
glory. Such a condition as showed a spirit
absolutely reckless of the feelings of others.
It Is a state of mind that Is quite common
among men at all times. Indeed, It shows
e spirit that is cultivated and said to be
desirable by many. No doubt they mis
understood the kind of a kingdom the Mas
ter had come to set up.
Refer to Jesus.
, "The debate waxed so warm they finally
referred the matter to Jesus for settlement.
He settles It by giving, second, the object
lesson. A little child is set In their midst.
Perhaps a little boy of S to 8 years of age.
Then follow the words which must have
tartled the disciples, for they were In
clined to rebuke and brush aside little chil
dren. "Third, what do the terms donote? They
assume they are not only going to be In the
kingdom of heaven, but they will have po
sition In It. It was only a question of what
place. Here they are told they shall by
lie means even enter It unless they alter
tbelr ways. The necessity of a change
which is called conversion Is plainly set
forth. It Is assumed they are not in a
fit frr.me of mind to enter the kingdom of
heaven ns they are. The spirit they have
juat been showing proves It. If we seek
for definitions of the kingdom of heaven
we find very meager statements. Christ
teaches that It was not what the religious
leaders of the day fancied and taught It
was. It was not external. Not a political
organization. . Came not with pomp and
show. It was within. It consisted of the
spiritual reign, of God In the actual life of
men. It Involved the deliverance of men
from sin and the doing by them of the
will of God. The king of that kingdom
was their Father In heaven. Paul defines
It as not meat and drink, but righteous
ness and peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit.
Face to Fare with a Fact.
"When we face this question of conver
sion then, are we dealing with anything
that is tangible and cannot be got at, or
are we In the realm of the mysterious?
The revised version helps us out here in
the change of form and voice. It brings
It down from tl realm of the divine and
the passive to the human and the active.
And yet It stands for a great fact. When
we examine the history of religious ex
perience we find we are face to face with
an experience that is said to have been
had by thousands of people. It Is a change
that has been radical and far-reaching and
permanent usually. The facts are all
against this. But my business Is to show
the human bearings of the change. With
what God does, or when or bow, we know
not much. At any rate for this we are
Dot responsible. Humanly It Is a change
that affects not the nature so much as
the attitude or function of mind or soul.
"Speaking to the immediate need of the
occasion the teaching would be 'Tou see
this child; he is free from the mania and
folly of glory, and from envy and con
tentiousness, and all such passions. Be
like him.' The child is teachable and will
ing to be led and places small emphasis on
wealth or position. Instead of the child
not being mature enough to enter the king
dom we need to grow backward.
"Fourth, Christ's words are a direct at
tack upon the human will. The verbs are
In the active, not the passive, voice. If
we are not able to effect this change there
will be no sense In warning us, for we
would not be responsible. Christ's words
form a challenge and command. It means
the practical acceptance of the domination
of the personal Christ who manifests him
self as imminent in the soul. To be a
Christian is to be . His disciple, a little
learner. This involves wllltngners to be
taught; means absence of prejudice; al
lows Ills ideas to supersede the world's as
to ths desirability of all things."
BIfHOP MIL8PAIGII AT TRI1MITY
Preaches oa Importance of Partaking;
of Holy Sacrament.
Bishop Mllspaugh of Topeka occupied
Trinity Cathedral pulpit yesterday and
preached . the Whitsunday sermon. His
address was given to the history of the
holy sacrament and an enlightenment of
the same. He quoted the passages of
scripture which tell how Christ told ' His
followers they must eat of His body and
blood for salvation. How the people won
dered, knowing He was Christ, the son of
Joseph and Mary, whom they knew. And
boW the people wondering how Christ
should give them of His body and blood.
Were disaffected by this saying, which they
could pot understand, and many ceased
from following Christ. And how Christ
made no explanation for a year until the
time of the last . supper, when He gave

His body and blood.
"Let us come with faith and penitence,"
said the , bishop, "to the commemoration
of the birthday of the church. Let us
come in all humility and accept these gifts
which are offered us for our salvation. I
know church people mean no disrespect
when they turn their backs on the holy
communion. I know that when many
of. them leave the church before the com
munion, it is because they feel they are
ur worthy and not good enough to partake
of the sacrament. Let me tell you, my
brethren. If you are good enough after
the trials and strife of a business day
to kneel down by your beds and pray to
the Father, you are good enough to come
to the holy communion and pray to be
made belter for the next week. If you
have faith. If you earnestly try to do
better He will help you. If you turn your
backs on the service I am afraid you will
never become good enough for ths sacrament.''
WHIT SISDAV AT ST. PAIL'S CHURCH
Rev. O. F. Potter Preaches on Import
ance of the Common Flare.
Whitsunday at St. Paul's Episcopal
church was fittingly observed. The serv
ices were very Impressive and quite lengthy.
After the baptismal service and the service
of receiving the new members of the
brotherhood, Rev. O. F. Potter delivered a
sermon from the text taken from St. Luke
6:4, "Now when He had left off speaking,
He said unto Simon, 'Launch out into the
deep and let down your nets for a draught."
."The scene of this speech," said Rev.
Mr. Potter, "was commonplaoe in every re
spect. It was delivered amidst a common
place scene and to a commonplace multi
tude; much the same sort of multitude that
we ree often assembled in our own time.
But He who taught us to call nothing com
monplace was there and He 'changed the
whole scene. On the shore the crowd was
excited, in the ship Was peace.
"Worldly men of today are anxious, ex
cited and troubled about many things, but
the man who believes and trusts In Christ
Is at all times calm and collected; con
tented with life. The disciples who en
tered Into the ship had first to pass through
the waters and so It is with people of the
world now, they must first pass through
the waters to enter Into the kingdom of
God.
' On that first great Pentecost, when the
apostles were assembled, there was a noise
as of rushing wind and flashes of Are came
down and rested upon their heads and they
learned that they were to be fishers of
men. The souls to be saved are not all in
China, Japan, the Philippines and other
foreign countries, but many are right here
with us In the streets among commonplace
scenes. When you accept Christianity you
are expected to do something. Even that
child which was baptised this morning I
expected to do something. With the ship
of the church and the net of the gospel
you are to launch out a little and let down
the net into the deep. There must be
growth and progress and ripening. There
are many of us so attached to the world
that we cannot bear to launch out, but
every Christian man and woman is sup
posed to be a fisher of men; everyone is
supposed to be a good Samaritan. Men
today do not need so much to be told that
there Is a God as to be told what kind of
God he Is."
FORTY HOURS' DEVOTIOX SERVICE
Exposition of the . Sacrament at St.
Cecilia's Catholic Church.
The exposition of the sacrament for forty
hours' uninterrupted devotion began yes
terday morning at St. Cecilia's Catholic
church, with a solemn high mass and a
procession In which little girls in white
veils and the priests participated. From
this on more or less worshipers are ex
pected to be in the church all the time,
night excluded, until Wednesday morning,
when the period of exposition ends. In
the, meantime masses will be celebrated
in the morning at t o'clock and evening
service, consisting of -the rosary, sermon
and benediction, will be held at 7:45. On
Monday and Wednesday evenings Father
Noonan of Lenox, la., will preach and
the sermon on Tuesday evening will be
by Father Callahan of South Omaha. The
mass Sunday rooming was celebrated ty
Rev. Father Stiitch, assisted by the pas
tor, Father Harrington. Beautiful music
was rendered by the church's choir and
fe congregation more than filled the edl
f.ce. '
Father Strltch In his sermon said the
forty hours' devotion was Intended to
serve as a renovation of the spirit of the
congregation. He referred to the fact that
It was Pentecost Sunday, the anniversary
of the day when the Holy Ghost descended
upon the apostles and gave them the spir
itual wisdom to understand the truths
which Christ for three years had labored
vainly to have them appreciate. The con
gregation was urged to seek the enlight
enment of the holy spirit by participation
In the devotion, prayer and meditation!,

MANCHESTER. May 22. The steady de
cline In the price of cotton and the ap
proach of the Whitsuntide holidays caused
a disinclination on the part of buyers to
operate In the stock market last week, and
the turnover consequently was moderate
and of a miscellaneous character. A steady
tone prevailed, however, , and quotations
all around were hardened, owing chiefly to
the engagement of producers. The China
Inquiry was limited and difficult to ar
range. The India trade was quieter, the
demand having fallen off. In yarns the
turnover was rather meager, though fair
lines were secured in some directions. The
fall in the price of cotton gave caution to
users to purchase only for their Immediate
requirements.

Keed of a a Overlap
Magic, Cltr Gossip.
Mayor Koutsky spent a portion of yes
terday afternoon looking over so.ne of the
city record. He said at the conclusion of
hla investigations that at the close of the
fiscal year the city would have money in
every fund. This is something that has
not occurred for years.
About fourteen years ago an overlap
began. This grew until it reached the
sum of $70,000. Then the general Indebted
ness bonds were Issued, cleaning up the
overlap and providing for an annual levy
to wipe out the debt. Since these bonds
were sold the city Is on a cash basis. The
mayor sail last evening there would be
no need of an overlap in any fund this
year, as there was plenty of money to go
around, provided the council was econom
ical. While Tax Commissioner O'Neil has not
given any Intimation of what he is doing,
tt Is presumed the valuation of last year
will not be lowered to any extent, espe
cially as it Is presumed the county valua
tion la to be Increased. The desire of the
city officials Is to cut the levy as much as
possible and still bring in enough money to
carry on the city government in the man
ner that it has been run for the last couple
of years. The council will not make the
annual levy until July 15, when the books
of the tax commissioner will be open to
Inspection.
Council Meeting Tonight.
An adjourned meeting of the city coun
cil Is to be held tonight. There is nothing
so far before the council but some routine
business and the passage of some street
Improvement and sidewalk ordinances. It
is expected an ordinance for the vacating
of certain pieces of streets on West L
street to accommodate the new Burlington
viaduct will be Introduced. Both the mayor
and council favor this proposed .ordinance.
Mayor Koutsky said last night if the or
dinance was handed In today and was read
for the first time tonight he would be in
favor of calling special meetings during
the week for the passage of the ordinance.
It is probable this will be done, as the
Burlington wants to ft to work on this
bridge as soon ns possible and from the
sentiment expressed by those living In the
vicinity the viaduct cannot be constructed
any too soon. By the building of this
viaduct there will only be one grade cross
ing left In the city of any Importance and
that is at F street. When the Union Pa
clflc completes its grading, relaying of
tracks, etc., here it Is expected that the
council will suggest a bridge across the
tracks at- F street..
That Proposed Bond Isaac
In connection with . the announcement
for a mass meeting to be held Tuesday
evening at the council chamber by busi
ness men Interested in an increase in the
city bonds an error was made. The city
can only vote bonds for 138,000 for exten
sion of sewers instead of $38,000, as was
printed in The Bee of Sunday. As It is
now the general bonded debt of the city
Is $510,000, and those interested In the call
desire to have this debt Increased by an
issue amounting to $128,000. Considerable
interest Is being manifest in the propo
sition and It is expected that the council
chamber will be crowded on Tuesday
night .
Special Taxes Delinquent.
Special sewer taxes for District No.
Ill become delinquent on May 28 and
are payable now at the office of the city
treasurer. , The special taxes for six grad
ing districts also become delinquent at
the same time as the ordinances were
passed on the same night. After these
taxes are delinquent the amounts assessed
against the abutting property will draw
interest at the rate of 1 per cent a month.
As In nearly all of the districts In question
the amounts to the individual owner are
small, consequently the treasurer does not
expect to have to carry many of the spe
cial taxes on his books. '
Howe Makes Statement.
City Treasurer Howe does ' not take
money for taxes due under the scavenger
law. Instead he Issues statements of the
amounts due to any property owner who
calls at his office. This statement Is taken
to County Treasurer Fink in Omaha and
when the money Is paid a receipt Is given.
No money for taxes under the scavenger
law are accepted by the city treasurer.
Mr. Howe desires that this statement be
made, as he Is called upon a number of
times dally to explain why he cannot ac
cept this money.

II TEE INSUHAICE FIELD
Theodore L. Rlngwalt of Rlngwalt Bros.,
In speaking of the safety fund law of New
York, said:
"This law, It seems to me, would be very
beneficial if passed by the legislature of
our own state. Vnder It there can be no
bankrupt Insurance companies and policy
holders who sustain large losses are greatly
protected thereby. It is something which is
probably not very familiar to most people
but a clear exposition of the law Is con
tained In the New York state report of
1882. Owing to the recent large losses sus
tained by fire companies, snd the bank
rupting of some of them by reason of such
losses I should Judge that an examination
of the provisions of the law with a view
to the passage of a similar meumire In Ne
braska would be Interesting. A portion of
the report Is as follows. The law was
passed In 1874:
" 'Under the provisions of an act to pro
vide security against extraordinary con
flagrations, and for the creation of safety
funds by fire insurance companies, such
companies are authorized to create special
reserve funds for certain purposes described
therein. It Is optional with companies to
comply with the law. Those which do are
prohibited from declaring more than 7 per
cent dividend on their capital stock until
SJch safely fund shall reach an amount
equal to tlu-lr capital stuck. Meanwhile
the entire amount of their profits beyond
the 7 per cent dividend authorized Is In
vested and deposited, the one-half with
the company and the remaining half with
the Insurance department. In the event
of an extraordinary Are sweeping away tho
entire capital of the company and the one
half of the surplus safety fund remaining
with the company, and the same having
been paid over to the insured pro rata
according to their losses, the company Is
then relieved from all liability on account
Of such losses, and the other half deposited
with the Insurance department, stands as
a new capital for the company to go on
with their business, provided that If the
one-half so on deposit with the Insurance
department Is less than the sum of $200,000
the deficiency shall be made up by the
stockholders; falling In that the whole sum
Is liable for the losses as aforesaid. It
wllV be seen that this acts as a double
protection, first to the policy holders, who
are not directly concerned In the losses
by such extraordinary fire and second, to
the company in Its ability to go on with the
business after It has suffered the loss of
and parted with all its capital.' "
The Nebraska Life Underwriters are ex
pecting a large meeting tonight, the oc
casion being an address delivered at the
meeting to be held by the association at
the Her Grand hotel by Vice President

the presidency of his company he was two
rears younger. He has successively filled
every Important office with the National,
starting at the bottom and working to the
top. He is a great scholar, financier and
actuary.
In connection with the recent talk of a
raise of 20 per cent In rates by fire com
panies in congested districts, it mny be of
Interest to note that notice has been served
of a 20 per oentv'raise to be .made In the
rates In Baltimore. The raise includes all
scheduled rated 'risks excepting standard
sprinkled risks and distillery warehouses
and their contents. An Increase of 25
cents on all , classes excepting sprinkled
risks has also . been ordered in Birming

PEOPLE THRONG ERIC PARK
Fully Fifteen Thouisnd Pats Through
Gate, on the Opening Day.
EFFECT OF THE FIRE IS NOT FELT
Haater's Band, Better Than Ever,
Wins Plaafllt and Nnmeroaa
Other Means of Entertain
ment Are Present.
Fully 15,000 people paid the price and
passed through the stiles st Krug park
yesterday, despite the fact that one week
previous the day set for the opening of the
"polite resort" a $25,000 fire swept away
the best part of the pavilion and other
buildings.
The day was Ideal and people thronged
through the gates until It was difficult for
any more to get In. If the opening day is
any criterion this, the fourth season of the
park, bids fair to be the most propitious of
any.
Aside from a high board fence inclosing
the new pavilion being built, there was
little or nothing to indicate that a fire a
week ago had occurred. The new pavilion,
80x150, Is being pushed forward to com
pletion as fnst as possible and will be
opened In about two weeks. It will be
modern In Its appointments and will place
the park on a better standard than ever.
Carpenters nre being worked In two rhlfts
on the new structure. The walks In snd
around the annex have been laid with
dustless Sherman gravel.
The switchback railway proved on of
the strongest attractions of the day. Peo
ple of all sizes, ages, colors, nationalities
and occupations rubbed elbows in their
anxiety to get Into one of the little cars
that goes whizzing uphill and downhill
until you almost wish you had not ate
that last dish of ice cream.
Hnster's Rand Better Than Ever.
As usual Hnster's band won the p'.audlts
of the crowd with two choice programs.
This company of twenty-five musicians is
stronger this year than ever. Several mem
bers of the band are soloists of recognized
ability. During yesterday afternoon's pro
gram Charles Jones, cornet soloist, for
merly of Rellstedt's band, received three
encores. W. Quick, French horn, also
earned fnvorable comment. Messrs. 8. B.
Carter, direct from Funchlulll's New Tork
band, and Fred Joiner, formerly with the
Royal Italian band, are expected in the
city this morning to Join Huster. With
these additions the management states It
will have a musical aggregation second to
none In this part of the country.
Prof. J. Waldorf Hall, the aeronaut, will
open his third sen son at the park with a
thrilling balloon nscension and parachute
Jump next Sunday. Mr. Hall "ses his
ninety-foot bug and will perform his usual
stunt of dangling by his toes In the clouds.
Prof. Hall says he has some novelties in
the way of balloon rscenfrtons that he will
give as the season Buvnneeg.
One feature particularly noticeable yes
terday was the appreciation shown of the
outlying districts of the park. For in
stance, the north tract was dotted with
groups, families snd pairs, all enjoying the
cool and refreshing breezes under the shade
trees. In the other pnrts of the rark the
seats and settees were well filled.

FRANK FORD IS ACQUITTED
AHesred Humorous Bnrsrlar Comes
Clear After Spending- Several
Months In Jail.
Frank Ford was acquitted of the charge
of burglary In the district court, the Jury
returning a verdict yesterday nbout noon,
having been out twenty-five hours.
Ford Is the polite young' man who was
charged with having committed several
burglaries in Oranhi, South Omaha and
other places, was apprehended In Kansas
City and brought back to Omaha some
months ago. He had been confined In the
county Jail since that time awaiting trial,
which began last week.
The distinguishing feature of the career
of the man Ford Is Supposed to have been
was that he Joked Ills victims while rob
bing their house and them. For instance,
he was accused of rohblng the home of Dr.
T. H. Ensor of South Omaha, and the doc
tor declares that all the time Ford, or th
man who did the robbing, cracked Jokes
about the hazard of his occupation, how It
felt to be robbed and do the robbing and
several other things. This same story at
taches to the mnn whom vFord was pur
posed to have been wherever Ms deds were
whose devotion s'nee Ms first arrest wis
committed. Throughout the entire period
of his Incarceration Ford stoutly denied
the charges agalfst him and his sister,
unbroken, has maintained implicit confi
dence In her brother's Innocence.
A sliver watch in the possession of a
young woman in Omaha, said to have been
given her by Ford, bearing the Initials of
Dr. Ensor, was regarded as the most potent
factor against Ford during the trial. Ford
declared he never saw the watch before
and that he was not a friend of the girl
as had been maintained.
