Rev. A. C. Clarke preached his New
Tear s sermon to a large congregation at
Lowe Avenue CongrrgallomU church yes
terday morning, taking for hi subject the
word. "Strength Renewed."
"The new year begins with nature doing
Its best," Bald Kev. Mr. Clarke. "If we
are not feeling right this morning It la
pretty safe to aay that it is our own fault
In. contemplating the new year before ua
tt Is well to remember the eternal conflict
between good and bad. We long to live in
a victorious mate of life and not in bond
age; but we must remember that even the
best of us have our limitations. In analyz
ing the trouble with most of us. perhaps It
will be found that we trust too much to
the energy of the flesh Instead of the en
ergy of the spirit. We are prone to depend
too much upon our self-reliance, education,
position In society, strength of will power,
etc., but these all go down under the rush
of strong temptations. This Is one of the
big reasons why so many of the New Years'
leaves do not slay turned more than a week
or so. Those In the best society are Just
us subject to temptation as the Ignorant
who live In brothels.
"One of the greatest needs .of the year
will be to listen to the word of Ood, and
to have It In our Inmost soul. Nowadays
we read almost everything but the Bible.
Recently I was told of a woman who pe
rused the word of Ood so frequently that
she wore out three bibles In three years.
She was a Christian Scientist, and what
ever I may think of the philosophy of that
creed. If It makes people read the Bible
that much It accomplishes some good in
bringing persons Into closer touch with
their Maker.
"But It Is futile to know and not to do,
and one of the greatest sources of our con
demnation lies in disregarding our knowl
edge. "The promises of Ood are useless unless
we cash them. We often put emotion In
the place of Ood. We are more or less
creatures of moodj and do things when we
feel like doing them. This Is not the way
to gain the strength of Ood, and moods
have no part In carrying out His work."

llanseom Park Clinrch Draws Lessons
from I'seful I.Ives.
In Hanscom Park Methodist Episcopal
church yesterday morning the servlre was
a memorial to the year's deceased among
the congregation. These numbered five gnu
were David A.- Lenhart, Charles A. Chi,
Mrs. Peter Whitney, Fred Foster and
James S. Stone. The service took the na
ture of tributes to the church life and
character gf each of those who had gone
out from among the Jiving. Members ot
the congregation read these tributes and
Rev, Mr. Clssell. the pastor, added Home
comments to each and drew lessons from
their lives for the living members of the
church. Mr. Chi died December 8. I!i03;
Mrs. Whitney February 3 and Mr. Foster
February 2S, 1901. Among other things Mr.
Clssell said:
"Why Is It the house of Ood Is not to us
all as, It wae to the deceased. The church
Is our home. Here we are baptised helpless
Infants In our mothers' arms; from the
house of God most of us are carried to the
last resting place; the last benediction over
the clay Is here. Why Is not the church
the cent.- round whlcti all our lives turn?
Why Is not the church efcere the Interest
of our children centers? Borne people live
so we wonder what the world will do with
out them.- Caring little, thinking lees, about
themselves only of others, If they can help
a little to shelter others a little from the
wintry blasts. Some people take the world
by storri. but such an ohe was not this,
who was more like the power of sunlight
stealing into our hearts without our knowl
edge. We thank God for such. In the fore
front of your New Year's resolutions de
cide to so live that some one will say, 'I
would like to get next to that person-he
lifts me up.1 May Ood bless the memory of
our brother and sisters gone before and
keep beautiful the Immortelle of memory.
May it please Him to keep those here
today alive in the flesh to come again on
next New Year's day."
BELIEF IX A PERSONAL SAVIOR
Necessary to Worthy Participation in
the noly Communion.
"This la the sacramental season," said
Rev. John Hummon, pastor of the Kountze
Memorial church, at the morning service
in the Young Men s Christian Association
auditorium yesteidaj. "The sacrament Is
an appeal to the royal banquet made sa
cred by the body and blood of Jesus
Christ. To partake of It we should be
clothed In the garb of holiness. How Im
portant Is it that we should be prepared
to partake ot) the sacrament. To par
take of It we must believe In Christ as
our personal Savior. We must be able to
stand before Ood redeemed through our
faith in Jesus Christ, perfect creature.
The sacrament Is the emblem of the broken
body of Jesus Christ and his shed blood.
Simply, then, to partake of this sacra
ment we must avow our faith In Christ;
think of and accept Him as our Savior,
Lord and King. They who partake are
those who understanding hear and con
fess Christ. Hearken not to your own
hearts, but hear ye His voice. God has
no' pleasure In the death of the wicked,
but desires that they may live and be re
deemed. Jesus hath said, 'Come unto
Me. I will in no wise cast you out. Be

Practical Work.
"I presume ministers are expected to
keep sermons on tap all the time," wss
the smiling greeting of Rev. Dr. J. W.
Conley. at the First Paptlt church yester
day morning. "I expected Rev. H. C.
Mable, D. D., of Boston, to preich this
mernlng, but nn hour before coming to
church he telephoned me that his voice
was In such a condition that he would not
be able to sre-ik. He Is In the city, how
ever, and will speak In Lincoln later In
the week." From this point Dr. Conley
plunged Into an Interesting sermon on
faithful stewardship.
"Everything we have belongs to Ood and
these gifts were Riven us to be used for
His glory," he said. "When we have com
prehended this truth In Its full signifi
cance we have mastered one of the most
Important truths of the Christian life. Cn
falthfulness brings untold misery and un
happlness, whether In the Christian or the
business life.
"We are the stewards of gifts that be
long to Another and we must make of
them the best use In our power. To do
this we must know His will. This He
makes known to us through the Bible.
Ood appeals to man through his Intelli
gence, reason and Judgment. He appeals
to common sense, not to the emotion. In
the book of Revelation the lord makes
known His will. The church of Christ has
no excuse fur existence If It Is not doing
His work. This work Is saving souls.
Some people believe the church Is a body
of baptized believers. Well, If we arc going
to be a church we have got to do the work
of God. If we are not doing that we are
not a church. You can't make a church
out of creeds. If we are golns to save
men we must do something more than
preach.
"We are stewards of the gifts, the talents
llo hasf given us. We must be faithful
stewards of these gifts and make of them
the best showing possible. The employe
must do the will of his employer If he Is
faithful and not use the time, that Is his
employer's to advance hi own sclfl3h In
terests. Many characters cannot rise above
their own' selfishness. If their plans are
crossed by another they nre offended and
charge the Injury to sensitiveness. Sensi
tiveness Is next door to selfishness God
likes quality, but He nlso wanta quan.
tity. Oh. what power for good might
be exerted by those of you who hava social
position, who have powers of mind, gifts
of speech, the prestigs of Influence. God
has given you these gifts. You are merely
the stewards of them an! He expects you
to make a faithful accounting of every one
of them."
WORK AHEAD KOH THE CHIRCII
Savins of Bonis Its Mission and Idle
ness Its I nduing.
At the Second Presbyterian church Rev.
Newman Hull Burdlck spoke from I. Deu
teronomy, 6: "Ye have dwelt long enough
In this mount." In beginning he told of the
great advancement mudo In the world along
tins lines of science, Industry and freedom,
and then quoted predictions as to the fu
ture. He asked how the church had kept
up with the progress and read figures to
show tho great work done In the missionary
Held.
Dr. Burdlck considered the church must
be a soul-saving church. This was tho
reason for Christ's Incarnation, His life,
His sufferings. His deuth. For this work
tho church had been preserved and could
commit no worse sin than to forget It. The
importance of the all Inclusive end and aim
could not be overemphasize Churches
must unite. When they turned from fighting
the devil to fight one another It waa ,.
backward step. The twentieth century
church must be Intensely aggressive. It
must get in closer touch with the people.
The old methods have decayed for they did
not produce the result. The small number
of converts showed this. Also It Is seen In

by the world and Its members as third or

Without even the semblance of formality

but while teams could not go over the
tructure It hns been used by the Illinois
Central trains. The last spike was driven
Into the bridge last Wednesday, but there
were some finishing touches to be made
and It was not until Saturday evening that
the debris was all cleared away.
Yesterday there was almost a continuous
stream of carrluges In the direction of the
bridge and a great many people made the
trip In tte street cars and walked over
the. structure. The .first train to cross
since the opening of the bridge to teams
was No. 1, which Is due In this city at
8:05 a. m. Travel In the direction of the
viaduct began about noon and It continued
until dusk. The structure was generally
admired and every Inch was critically ex
amined. Its masslveness and architectural
breadth and height were things that ap
pealed to every one, but there were among
the visitors many railroad men and others
able to appreciate the technical features
of the work.
Federal Insurance Control.

are subjected. The life insurance com

When the law for the suppression oi tne

Since November 1 eleven damage claims,
aggregating 32,9f", were filed against the
city. In every one of the.e eleven cases
City Attorney limlert has made an In
vestigation and has filed with the city clerk
a recommendation that the claims be dis
allowed. A reason for refuFlnR these
claims is given in each case. O.Ums for
tl'O.UOO for runaways alleged to have been
caused by the leaving of a roller on South
Twenty-fourth street during the paving are
on file. In each of these cases the city
attorney says that In his opinion the city
Is not llabjo and recommended that the
claims be not allowed. Most of the other
claims are for Injuries alleged to have been
caused by defective sidewalks. These per
sonal Injury claims have been investigated
by tho sptcliU agent of the legal depart
ment and upon these reports the city at
torney bases his reports to the mayor and
council.
Henrietta Eden and Christina Herbst ask
the city to pay them $7W) each as damages
to their property at Twenty-seventh and
R streets on account of the dosing of the
grade crossing under the Q street viaduct.
These two claims the attorney passes with
the statement that the claimants have no
standing In law and suggests that no
further attention be paid to the claims.
Charles Cummlngs wants $j00 for damages
to his property on West L street by rea
son of the building of the Burlington via
duct across tho tracks at Thirty-eighth
street, and Mrs. Alice Renehan wants $1,
000 for the same reason. Mr. Lambert calls
the attention of the council to the report
of the appraisers, who reported that these
two pieces of property were not damaged
by the building of the bridge.
During the year l'.M twenty-nine damage
claims were filed against tho city. These
claims ranged all tho way from Jo0 to
$10,000. Nearly all of the claims, with
the exception of this last batch, have been
compromised by the payment of from j)
to $150. Some of the claims were dropped
and less than half a dozen were appealed
to the district court.
By the pulling up of defective sidewalks
the city officials hope to prevent so many
personal Injury claims from .coming In.
In the eleven cases Mr. Iambert has re
ported on adversely the city la prepared
to fight the matter out In the courts If
need be, and In case Judgment Is given
against the city he will carry the cases to
the supreme court.

Corning, la., to look at horses suitable for
fire department service. One horse, a bay,
weighing 1,410 pounds, was purchased for
$172. This horse Is expected to arrive in
the city today and will be put in training
at once, as several of the horses in the
department are hardly fit for service. The

All day yesterday graders worked on tho
grading of J street from Twenty-fourth to
Twenty-fifth street. Every day of good
weather helps the contractors Just that
much. A portion of the work being done
yesterday was the grading for a temporary
sidewalk on the north Bide of the street.
Stakes for this walk were set Saturday by
the city engineer's force at the solicitation
of Dr. Wheeler of the Presbyterian church.
It is feared that there will be severe
weather and that the contractor may not
be able to finish the grading, therefore the

scious last Thursday evening In his room at
th Hubbell house, 5tl South Thirteenth

terday it was evident alcoholism was the
cause. There were no Indications, however,
to suggest that the man took his life. At
the hotel he said he had no living rela
tives. He had f!) In his pockets when his
room was entered Friday evening.
Friday afternoon the man took a chnng
for the worse, rallying somewhat Saturday

Sam Feltr, who runs a secynd-lnind ttore
at 414 South Tenth street, reported to the
police last evening that some person had
broken Into his store and taken seventeen
watches und four rings. The watches
were cheap ones, four of them having
silverlne cases and the others being gold
and silver plated.
Keler and his wife live In the hack of
tho store, and Sam was away from the
store and his wife left their living apart
ments about 6 p. m. to visit at a neigh
bor's house. She was gone about an hour,
and upon her return discovered the theft
of the watches and rings. Entrance was
efffcted by cutting a hole through tho
panel of the bnck door and removing a
large oak bar that served to fasten the
door. That the robbery was committed
by some person or persons familiar with
the place Is shown by the fact that the
holo was made at the exact place In which
