"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

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.

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.

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.
