TTIE OMAITA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. DECEMBER ! IHOi. CHRISTIANITY NO FORMULA rllnrh)jr Christ Cannot Ba Son aCerily by Boutine. Bayi Dr. Unit. MAN'S SOUL LARGER THAN INTELLECT Hf Grace, Through FaJtn. H Salva tloa ArrompllnhH an BBla Power rnol Alter This Dlrla Pr. "It does not do men much gwod to for mally obrve anything. There are people who believe that If they obey form" and ronform to certain rules and regulations thry hare done all that In required of them and that they ought therefore to experience the blessedness of the Christian life. They I Imagine Christianity la something to be bought and that It can be acquired In thin way. This la not true. Christianity la not a formula." ' Thus spoke Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks, D.D. at. the First Presbyterian church yester day morning, where the sacrament of the Lord's supper was administered. Dr. Jenka took his text from Hebrews xill.. ; "Be not carried away with divers and strange doctrines. For It Is a (food thing that the heart be established with grace; not with mifs.' which have not profited them that have been occupied therein." "The soul of a man Is larger than ahy one phase of his being." said Dr. Jenks. "It Is larger than his intellect. It is larger than his feeling. In fact It Includes all the others. It dominates the will. In the Christian life there are so many things that upset us, yet it I In the Intelligence that the Christian religion has Its dwelling. It Is',' however, not a question that can be settled by Intellect alone. If this were the case then we mlsht expect to be able to call the champions of Intellect together and to aattle for all time the questions that disturb us. No one has yet been able to settle them. ' The intelligence is not the plane where the soul finds Its true level. "We are saved by grace. It Is not by faith alone that we are saved. Faith is the instrument by which we get grace Just as the wire Is the means by which we get the electric current. Grace means favor. It does hot mean1 "a" favor. God Is a sov ereign.' He has''the power to do all things and that sovereign power over all things is favor, is grace. Christianity Is better than anything the world can produce. We look for evidence of this grace and find It in Christ. "God's grace, like the ocean, cannot be dipped up with a cup. We know that It stands for heaven and that it cornea very close to us." CAl'ftK CHHIST IK THE LEAD Christianity Orereomei Strangle Doe trtaea and Agnosticism. Admitting that strange doctrines are in cresslng and the spirit of agnosticism is still prevailing to some extent, Kev. Clyde Clay Clssell. D. D.. of Hanscom Park tyethodlst church yesterday morning gave his congregation a bright picture of the progress of Christianity and church ad vancement, advocating closer union of the powers of good as an invincible means of reaching the one common goal for which all of these agencies separately are striv ing. "Let urn look at the strength of the phys ical unity of the Christian forces of the world," said Dr. Clssell. "They surpass the strength of any army ever gathered In the world. We cannot tell what Its work wilt be In the voiceless future. If these agencies were forged Into one brother hood what a power they would become. There Is a great Increase of strange doc trines and we would become bewildered to comprehend o espouse all of them.' yet they I claim as a basis the doctrines (aught PV Christ. ' Yet God has so arranged that the srange doctrines of scientists and oiophlsts shall not filter down to the great mass of Christian people who yet be lieve In the efficacy of prayer and the sim ple faith of old. Theological seminaries are becoming more conservative and are drift ing back Into that old faith of evangelism. "The spirit of agnosticism prevails, but not to an extent ' that la seriously In the way of the old faith that was the outpour ing of the . radiating Influence of God. Evangelical faith has gone on with seal unabated in spite of contentious 'doctrines and Is stronger than ever before. "I would not wish that all denominational differences were united In one great church. It Is better as It Is. The different denomi nations are as companies In the great army under one Divine Commander, all seeking for the one great end, the salvation of man." WARNINGS TOO OFTEJI IGNORED Oofs Reminders of Danger I'nheeded and Calamity Follows, Taking his text from Malachi's warning to the wicked. Rev. J. E. Hummon of the Kountse Memorial church yesterday, urged upon his people the necessity of heeding warning, especially In the presence of im minent peril to' their souls and bodies. "In tha presence of any great danger thers comes a warning," said Rev. Mr. Hummon. "Physicians say almost every disease that causes death gives a warning to th patient that he may prepare for the end. The difficulty is We do not heed tho warning until ths danger has approached so near that it la too late. The awrul Johnstown flood was pre ceded with a warning, but the people rested In fancied security, heeded It not and paid the penalty. Peelee poured forth Its deadly lava and amoke days before It destroyed the city at Its base, with Its thousands of heed less Inhabttanta. And so you are warned and have been many tlmea of all that in volves spiritual sin and death; the warn ing comes and If we do not heed It, The day cometh that shall burn as an oven.' That la a warning and one given to the children of Israel, but It Is Just as appli cable to us today as It was to them cen turies ago. There are those who say: 'We need not be so particular for the day of judgment Is not at hand and we will wait S1 It comes nearer. but this Is a warn ing to bs prepared now. If you are de pending on a deathbed repentance, don't do.k. "Do you suppose anyone who has betri seared with sin mil his life could en Joy the service of heaVenT If you would en Joy life In ths next world you must lay up treasures ; where thieves do not break through and steal." CHAKITKA FESTIVAL I( OBSERVED Dedication of Temple of Jerasaleut Is Celebrated. Chanuka festival, one of ths three Jewish festivals, was celebrated at Tem pi Israel yesterday afternoon. This fes UveJ is given in memory of the dedica te of tho Temple of Jerusalem by Judas YadCabeus. Ths oaremony. whloh was In 4Mre of Kabbl Cobn. gave soma clever sjsmng people a chanc to entertain a stsge congregation of the temple. Miss ftMlle Klguttsr spoke unusually wall for one so young; Miss Fanny Livingston re sated a poem In a moat pleasing way and a beautiful duet played by UUs Minnie Meyer on ths riuuu and Mr. Leo Kauf man on tho vlulin. The lighting of th candles' was done by eight children, each speaking a small part. The children were Edgar Prince, iiluiich Franks, Bertie Abrama, Elisabeth Hart, It'.rry Brswlroff. Mabel (Krauss, ILUllan Meyer a ad Andrew Haas. Mlas J4allle Elgutter'a Invocation of th lights followed; tha a Chanuka song by th Sundsy school class. Miss Fannie Liv ingston recited a poem and eight of th Sunday school boys rekindled the lights. Mine Minnie Meyer and Mr. Leo Kaufman played another duet. Psalms was given by Miss Ida Brodkey; a recitation by Mamie Spleeberger; Mis Hortense Sples berger gave a piano solo and the Sunday school class sang "America," "Chanuka Letters," given by Verna Klrshbraun, Herbert Mayer, Ruth Meyer. June Abra hams, Dorothy Gebhart, Harry Goodman and Irene Rosewater, was a part that pleased the audience Immensely. OBEY ORDINANCES OF THE LORD One Way to Be KlaMeeaa Is to Con form to God's Laws. Rev. 8. D. Dutcher gave an Interesting sermon at the First Christian tabernacle last night, his subject being, ."Ordinances of the Lord." Dr. Dutcher said. In part: "The earth shows no fairer sight than when husband and wife dwell as heirs to gether of the grace of life and fellowship of the truth. The parents of John the Bap tist, Zacarlas and Elizabeth were a beauti ful example of Old Testament piety. They were both righteous before God. They showed their righteous state of heart by walking In the commandments and ordi nances of the Lord blameless. The com mandments and ordinances of the Lord, not commandments of men, as there Is no praise for keeping the commandments of men. for It Is well to note that these" ser vants of the Lord did not make any dis crimination In the commandments of the Lord. They walked In all of them, essen tials and nonessentials. Ordinances are part of God's plan for making men right eous. Jesus' sermon on the mount gave to the people the ordinance of God for us to be baptised. And our treatment of or dinances must be esteemed as our treat ment of their author. Hence, If a man de fies the law of the city he defies their maker; In defying the laws of the state he defies the legislature that made them; if he defies the laws of the land he defies tha senate and the chief executive that made them, and when he defies the laws of re ligion he defies God, who gave them to-us." FEDERAL COURT SENTENCES Fines and Jail Terms Are Doled .Out by Judge Mnna-er to Some Offenders. Judge Munger Saturday dealt out a con siderable bunch of trouble to some of hlf professional acquaintances. Among these, Howard Purnell, who became acquainted with the Judge by reason of being brought before him on a charge of stealing five government blankets from Fort Niobrara, drew the prize of thirteen months In the Sioux Falls penitentiary. Purnell is a col ored man and was at one time a soldier In th Twenty-fifth Infantry. He pleaded guilty to the theft. William Johnson, ar rested for selling liquor to the Indians, and Charles E. Loveland, charged with the same offense In this city, were each fined $100 and costs and sentenced to sixty days In the Douglas county Jail. Joseph Johnson, for a similar misdemeanor, got a similar fin with the addition of four months In the county bastlle. D. M. Jacobs, also for bootlegging, after reflecting over the mat ter, concluded to withdraw his plea of not guilty and substituted a plea of guilty, and $100 and costs and sixty days In the county Jail was regarded as sufficient punishment for th crime. Alfred Gary asked through his attorney to withdraw his plea of not guilty to a similar mlsdeameanor, and as there Is some question as to his sanity, sen tence was suspended during Investigation. Four bootleggers out on bond had their names called by Deputy Marshal Allen, and there being no response to the call the bonds of the bootleggers 'were declared for feited. These men had been indicted by former grand Juries.' George Four Cloud, the Indian held for the killing of Cora Seven Elk on the Winnebago reservation last summer, pleaded not guilty. AFFIDAVITS 0F CONVICTS Thomas. Goes to Two Penitentiaries for Evidence Against Chief of Police Donahne. Elmer E. Thomas, attorney of the Civic Federation, left last night to secure dep ositions from George Burrier and Billy Rogers, Iowa convicts in the penitentiaries a( Anamosa and Fort Madison, respectively, and from L. E. Way, editor of the Adver tiser at Clinton, la., which he wishes to present to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners as evidence supporting his charges that Chief of Police Donahue has protected crime and criminals In Omaha, Chief Donahue and his attorney, W. J. Connell, left for the same destinations also, In order to be present while the depositions were being taken and to secure the benefit of cross-examination. Tha party will go first to Anamosa, then to Clinton and finally to Fort Madison, taking up about three days, all told. Mr. Thomas regards the affidavits which It la said Burrier and Rogers will make aa particularly Important from th stand point of the Clvlo Federation. Both men are expeoted to declare that Chief Dona hue offered, through Tom Dennlson, to let them stay in Omaha and follow a career of crime for a monetary consideration. Ths chief emphatically denies the accusationa and Is prepared to show that the men were forced to leave the city as soon as their Identity was known. There Is said to be also a chain of evidence to ahow caus or malic and motives of revenge against Chief Donahue. The Fay diamond case is well known. Fay declaring that Chief Donahue de clined to help him to recover Jewels stolen from his brother at Clinton. This th chief also denies.

Kent With solemn and Impressive music, beauti ful decorations and tender words, Omaha lodge No. S9, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elka, honored tha memory of the brothers who have died, at the annual memorial service in the Orpheum theater yesterday morning. The program was un usually elaborate. A new memorial board of Flemish oak had been prepared, cover ing th entire rear part of the stage. A I the name of each departed member was read It was cast upon the roll in incan descent letters. Palms, flowers and statu ary surrounded the massive black tablet, recalling with vivifying force the bearer of each name and his' place In the lodge. Bryan and Judge Sammls. The theater was crowded, many being compelled to stand. W. J. Bryan made the address and Judge J. U. Sammls of Le Mars, la., delivered the eulogy. The offi cers of the lodge and a number of visiting guests sat upon the stage. The services wer begun by the theater orchestra playing Handel's "Largo." This was followed by the opening ceremonies by Exalted Ruler Ernest C. Page and Sec retary Frank A. Furay. Th Elks' quartet, composed of Messrs. C. R. Miller, C. P. Morlarty, E, C. McCormack and T. F. Swift, sang "The Vacant Chair," by Root. The prescribed ceremonies by the officers of the lodge were then carried out, fol lowed by an Invocation from Acting Chap Iain A. Elliott Miller, Mrs. Ada Markland Sheffield, soprano soloist, from Dr. Maclntyre's church, Chi cago, sang "Ave Maria," by Bach-Gounod, with a violin obltgato by Mr. Robert Cus caden. Mrs. Zoa Pearke Park, contralto soloist, from the First Methodist church of Evanston, 111., sang Mendelssohn's "Oh, Rest In the Lord," from "Elijah." Eulogy of the Order. In part Judge Sammls said: "The fact that in this busy and wonderful age men find time to spend money and de vote time for the purpose of keeping ally the memory of the dead, convinces me that we have advanced to a high plane of Chris tian civilization. I am a Arm believer In our so-called secret organizations. They rest upon the basic principles of fraternity one of the best and most comprehensive words In the English language. Man Is a social being and fraternities are necessary to him. In conformity, therefore, with the teachings of our order and the promptings of our heart we gather on tjils memorial day to pay tribute to our departed brothers. In doing so we do not so much honor tho dead as we do credit to ourselves. They have gone beyond the reach of words, but they left for our emulation their charactera and the records of their lives as men. "Elklsrn teaches all of charity, of Justice, of brotherly love and fidelity taught by any fraternity or Beet, and every precept of the order appeals to man's nobler nature. I think It would be much better and the cause of Christianity advanced, could creeds be swept away and sectarian lines abolished. God speed the day when those who yearn for the higher life can stand shoulder to shoulder and present an un broken front unaeparated by distinctions of creed. Distinctly American Institution. "For myself I rejoice In the fact that tho Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is an American Institution, born of American brains and reared on American soil. We need In America an organization whose ranks contain none but American blood and whose forces are exerted for the exal tation of American patriotism. The prime need of the hour la for good. Intelligent, patriotic men and women. We can do no better or higher work than Inculcating In tha hearts of our fellow men a loyalty and patriotism so Intense that love of country becomes a component part of every cltlsen. It Is a duty of ua all to teach and especially to teach the young that one of the cardinal virtues of this life Is loyalty and fealty to the general government." A quartet, composed of Mrs. Sheffield, Mrs. Park, Mr. Dan H. Wheeler and Mr. Charles S. Haverstock, sang a 'special me morial hymn written for the occasion by Blgmund Landaberg, who was the pianist for all of the music. Mr. Robert Cuscaden played "Adagio Pathetlque," by Godard, on tha violin. Breaking; of the Ranks. "Our hearts grow tender as we think of th brother who have gone before," said Mr. Bryan in opening his address, "and we try to apply to our own lives the lessoni they have taught. There Is on thought that always comes to me on an occasion of this kind. I think the older we become It comes to us with more and more force. Death seems a terrible thing when one is young and has his life before him and hla friends about him. But aa I was listening to th calling of th roll this morning I thought how long would It be before the namea recorded there will outnumber the names of the living. After a while so many more ar on ths other side than we have with us her. So strong arc th tlea that bind us to the other world that we begin to look upon death far differently than w did In th earlier time. It Is the way and the plan by which our God prepares us for that which must come to all of us. "On this occasion the thought of Immor tality must come to us, for whatever view we may have on that subject at other times, when we stand beside the grave when w lose someone knitted to us by the ties of life we cannot but feel that there Is and long for a place where death does not sever those who love each other. "I believe In Immortality. I am aa sure there Is a life beyond as I am sure there Is a life today. I am as sure that the plans of the Almighty comprehend another life as I am sure His plans comprehend the Ufa through which we are passing. Boon of Fraternallaua. "AH fraternities rest upon the character istics of the heart. I believe this fraternity and fraternities like It are doing the coun. try today a wonderful good In teaching thut real greatness Is not meusured by the superiority of Intellect nor the slxe of the purse, but by the quality of the heart. Brotherly love U greater than Justice. Jus tice 'eaclus us not to harm a man. but bii.llnrly love tenches us to hel lilrn. 1 am Bind I. rot he' kv un-lcrllta thlu fra ttrnlty a it nuts: underlie all fraternities. Love Is th greatest power in the world. Sometimes w think thut force is stronger, but love after all molds this world. Lov connects all mankind and all generations. It Is back of charity, jitlce and all other virtues. Ood Is love and love 1 King, and ws can have no higher ambition than to be the subject of that King." The mixed quartet sang 'The Lost Chord," this being followed by Mrs. Shef field, who sang Dudley Buck s "My Re deemer and My Lord." The iloslng cere monies then took place and the brother Elks and the audience sang the doxology. SHERIFF ACTS AS POLICEMAN Goes Oat After and Captures Young Man Who Threw Rock at Wedding Guest. . 8hertff Power, while sitting quietly at home last night wondering why his recent guest from Kansas, Frank Ford, should be so discourteous as not to write and let him know how he Is getting along, was rudely disturbed by a bunch of his neighbors, who rushed in with a man who was bleeding copiously from a bad cut in his cheek. The sheriff was excitedly told the man had been cut by a rock In the hands of a hood lum, one of a gang which had Invaded a nearby hall where a Hebrew wedding cele bration was In progress. ' Sheriff Power armed himself with his trusty blackthorn stick from the groves of Connaught and proceeded to the scene of the ruction. He suceeded In arresting on Frank Andrews, who waa pointed out as the assailant, and took his prisoner to the city Jail. Andrews appears to be a somewhat weak minded lad and made no attempt to get away. He was among a crowd of rowdies who gathered In front of 1M0 South Tenth street, where there was a large gathering of friends of a newly-wedded bride and groom, all making merry and showering congratulations. Suddenly the hall was In vaded by a gang of young scamps. Intent on getting a share of the good things on the festive board. They were ' expelled after a fight and It was then that Usher White, one of the wedding guests, was slugged with a stone In the hand of An drews. Other participants were more or less bruised, but White was the only per. son seriously hurt. He Identified Andrews as his assailant, and will prosecute him In police court this morning. After the momentary pause the wedding Jollification was resumed with Increased enthusiasm. COYOTES AND WOLVES GET TIP East Omaha Peats Foresee Their Doom and Evade the Law and Order Club. Apparently the coyotes and wolves of East Omaha SKQ vicinity received a tip on the raid that had 'been planned on them for yesterday morning, for when Mr. Peter B. Clausen and about fifty of his neighbors and friends started out early on the Sab bath day there was not a coyote nor a wolf In sight. Residents In the northeast part of the city have been annoyed for a long time by coyotes and wolves making raids on their young calves and chickens. The animals have been getting Bolder as the cold weather approached and yesterday morn ing's "drive" Is the beginning of the end of the coyotes and wolves In East Omaha and that neck of the woods, notwithstand ing none waa killed yesterday. The death knell of every coyote and wolf In East Omaha has been sounded and not until the last of their tribe has been exterminated will the vigilance cease, so says Mr. Clau sen and his neighbors. The crowd that left Mr. Clausen's house walked, whereas It Is said horses will be used hereafter In the drives," so as to be able to close In on the animals In short order.
