HIS TEXT IS "IS THE YOUNG MAN SAFE?"
Uainnii Drawn from the Life al
eath of Kin David's Wayward
Ion-Three Men Jola tne
tharrta.
The members and Memls of the South
Tenth Btryt Methodist church feel that
their organisation has titken a new lase
of life, and "rrrjgrFs'- Is the watchword
Ifice the advent of the new pastor. Rev.
Vr. Mcfirtg'.r. The a-tlvltles of the
church have brt n qulc ken d, the attend
ance has tiuit'-rlally Increamd and the
Sunday sr,ool has made a notable
growth.
Mr. McGregor last Sunday evening an
nounced that Flnce ht accession to the
pastorate he had looked Into the possi
bilities of the future and felt assured
that If the membership stood by him faith
fully that from being one of the weaker
churches It would become one of the
strongest In the utate, and announced that
the men of the rhuvh were going to give
a supper Tuendr.y evening of next week
and that they were going to "do the
work, do th work," nnd the ladles do
tho paying, promising a very choice und
varied menu, to be served In the best
stt-U.
Lit evening Mr. McOregor preache an
earnest sermon from the words of King
David, when he questioned, "Is the Young
Man Safe?" and in Id Iti part:
A man of erudition once said: "No man
climbing a mountain prak, no soldier going
Into war, and no niurlrur on the stormy
seas Is In as much danger as the young
man when he launch out In life In this
wicked world." 1 crossed Lke Ontario,
encountering the wornt storm the captain
had seen for seventeen years, and I won
dered If It were true, and now after
twenty-five years of service as pnntor and
evangelist I have come to realize th
ad truth of the statement. And If this
be true to whom shall he go for guid
ance, with whom shall he associate?
King Lmvld, who was chosen as being
a man aft-r (tori's own heart, had had
many perplexities, many sorrows, yet In
all his lite be had no sorrow such as his
rebellious, yet beautiful son brought him.
He was the handsomest youth In the king
dom, but he wbh vain of that beauty; he
was crafty, cunning, cruel, vindictive,
revengeful and unhappy and shortlived
dying as the fool dleth unhonored and
unwept save by his father, whom he had
dishonored. He might have hud a long
life and an Illustrious career had he but
listened to reason or looked Into his con
dition pmwTly. Hut he failed to take God
into the y . ;it and his life waa a blot
and a flliir(.
Now. where shall a young man go for
companionship? To the suloon? No; that
Is the gateway to hell; no place is so near
to perdition. He la liable to lose his life
or his character as well as his purse there.
Bhall he go to the fraternal organisations?
They are better: but they do not always
succeed In building up character. The
youth needs something better still, and he
can find only the best and safest com
panionship In the kingdom of God. The
church is the only organization that takea
In everyone without a certificate of char
acter. Hera he Is safe; here he receives
loving counsel, comfort and help In every
trying time and a consciousness of being
where he can work out his eternal des
tiny. None Is so safe as those who have given
their hearts and minds, their very being
Into God's own care and keeping, follow
ing the example of the Great Exemplar,
Jesus Christ.
At the close of the sermon he opened the
way for membership and three young men
went forward and Joined the church. Rev.
Dr. Peterson, formerly pastor of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church of Omaha, Is to
help Dr. McGregor in the forthcoming
evangelistic meetings.
IIOIMR WORSHIP FOR CHILDREN
Holy Family Should Re Model for All
Parents.
"Children are a greater responsibility to
parents than la usually appreciated. There
s nothing more lovely than a good child
nor anything more sorrowful than a bad
child." said Rev. L. Groh, pastor of St.
Mark'a Evangelical Lutheran church, yes
terday morning In his sermon on "The
Holy Famly a Model."
The minister urged on parents of to
day the Importance of bringing their chil
dren to God while the children are yet
young and their minds In a receptive mood.
"The holy family waa a model for the
children of Jesus' time and is a model for
today," said Rev. Mr. Groh. "Notwith
standing that Nazareth was a penal colony
and people wondered what good could come
out of Nazareth, Jesus grew up without a
shadow of taint on his character. There
never waa a more attracting personality
than that of Jesus. He was companion
able, eminently sociable, was not a recluse
and he always recognized the fact there
should be a cheerful recognition of God's
hand In all things.
"In Jesus' time the children were per
sonally responsible to the Lord at the age
Of IS. ' Christ was taken Into the temple
at the age of 8 days and consecrated. We
In this day and generation should be dill
gent In the matter of bringing our chil
dren up lti the nurture and admonition Of
the Lord at an early age. The child mind
Is naturatly Impressive and grows Into its
surroundings and Influences unconsciously.
Parents are oftentimes wont to neglect the
spiritual welfare of their children, allow
ing them to remain away from church or
Bunday school on the slightest pretext
and then being obdurate In the matter of
day .school attendance. Resides bringing
our children under the sound of the words
of God we must Impress upon their minds
the seriousness of our Christianity. A
father who tella his boy not to smoke and
than smokes all day himself could not
consistently look for very great results
from his teachings."
In connection' with the regular service
J. Hartmrg. M. Bteln and J. F. Wllhelmy,
recently elected to the church council,
were installed.
PLEA' FOR CIJ3AX GOVERXMEXT
. Bct. Robert Yost Preaches on Purity
j in Politics.
A .large audience greeted Rev. Robert
Tost Bunday afternoon to hear hit sec
ond sermon of series on "The Head Man
of, the Race." His particular subject was
"Jits Teaching of Duties to Others," and
his remarks were baaed on that command
znent. "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself."
While truth and Justice were the two
Chief points discussed, they were made to
' cover a multitude of problems In life, and
the sermon closed with a particular refer
ence to municipal affairs. Rev. Mr. Tost
disavowed any personal enmity toward any
: person and did not direct his remarks to
. any particular municipality. Hla talk,
however, was obviously a reference to
aomt of the conditions In Omaha. He de
clared the people would awaken to the
real trouble which faces the city and at the
aams time insisted that the people of no
city have the tight to slumber while the
municipal affairs are run by dishonest poli
ticians. "In the nam of Jesus Christ, the Head
Man of the raoa, 1st ua take hold of this
matter," said he, "and purge It of sin."
In the course of h nimon Mr. Yost
deolared that t! uthfulness Is a primal and
personal obligation which every person
owea to srif-conaislency In Christian char
acter. "Truthfulness la the foundation
for the whole structure of our existence,"
. said he. "Falsehood is stir-destruction,
and this has proven especially true as
concerns matters tn the business world.
Cv scything la opposed to sham iu every
branch of the social ysem. Most of the
mischief wrought in the world is the out
growth of sham. Peoplettoo often Justify
small falsehoods, thereby dodging the
mfiln Question."
Of Justice he ssld thst the men of all
generations who have done most for the
world have been known as Just men. For
examples he cited the B.tvlor, Abraham.
Job, David and others.
The permanent organization of the Men's
Guild of St. Mary's Avenue Congrega
tional church has been completed, with
G. M. Nattlnger as president. The object
of the Guild primarily will be the promo
tion of the vesper serv.ces, and a con
siderable sum Of money already has been
raised for that purpose.
JOB CHIEF OF WISDOM BOOKS
View of Her. Xenton M. Maan In His
letnre.
Rev. Newton M. Mann delivered the
seventh of his series of lectures on the
Rlble at Unity church yesterday morning,
the subject of the lecture being the "Jew
ish Wisdom Books." These he charac
terized as religious and liturgical and lit
erary in categorical order. taking the
books of Job, Wisdom of Solomon,
Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and
the apocryphal book of Eccleslsstlcus
as tvoes.
"The book of Job Is clearly the chief
of these," said Mr. Mann. "It is a finely
finished poem with prose prologue and
epilogue. The discussion of the problems
contained In this book was as hard to
solve In the days that the book was writ
ten as now. The book Is frankly radical,
forceful and pungent. The Idea of God
differed then widely from the law. God
was recognized as a power supreme over
nature and man. Instead of Its being a
book of great antiquity and its authorship
accredited to Moses, as held by the Jews,
modern Investigation ascribes It as be
longing to a later period of history. The
prologue does not agree with the subject.
It evidently introduced a materially dif
ferent portion of the work now lost. Satan
is a contribution from Persia to the re
ligion of the Jews. The book of Job Is
not the work of one man. It grew by
accretions from several hands. The book
Is nearer to us by 280 years than the time
of Ezekiel. Satan was unknown to the
Jews until after the exile. The book loses
sadly by the unreasoning epilogue.
"The Psalms are the most heterogenous
of the books of the Bible. It was the hymn
book of the temple. The Proverbs, accord
ing to tradition, were written by Solomon.
The probable truth Is tho writers of the
book of Proverbs, who were the wisest
men of their times, Incorporated their own
sayings into the book with those of Solo
mon. "Ecclesiastes, the Preacher, Is written
from another point of view. It goes to the
extreme of pessimistic skepticism In which
the writer admits he ahall get the best out
of life that he can. It is evidently of
Greek origin. However, its authorship
also was accredited to Solomon, and its
popularity in the times that It was writ
ten Is attributable to Its supposed royal
origin. It probably originated about the
same period of the books of Proverbs and
Solomon,
"Eccleslastlcus Is the work of a learned,
traveled Jew of the second century before
Christ and was produced about the time
of the ending of the canon law of the Old
Testament It is strange that the book of
Ecclesiastes was let into the Bible, and Ec
cleslastlcus was kept out. In this book
will be found many paralelllsms with the
Sermon on the Mount.
"The last of the Wisdom Books was the
Wisdom of Solomon. There are many
striking evidences ol its use by the New
Testament writers. The exclusion of the
Wisdom Book left the Old Testament with
out the word 'Immortal'," ,
MAX AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART
Dr. Herron Takes David as the
Example.
In the First Presbyterian' church Rev.
Charles Herron, who has Just assumed a
professorship In the Omaha Theological
seminary, occupied the pulpit, preaching
on "A Man After God's Own Heart"
"There la, I believe," he began, "no more
romantic incident In history than the
crowning of David. From a shepherd boy
ho became exalted among nations. Of
those to whom much Is given, much Is ex
pected. David's later offenses make it
hard to understand the title, 'A Man After
God's Own Heart.' People say In scorn, 'Is
this a man after God's own heart?' It
has become one of the reproaches that this
exalted king should be known as such.
By what right does he hold It?" .
Mr. Herron then turned to the boyhood
of David and sketched the pure-hearted
shepherd boy learning of God In the soli
tude while he tended his flocks. While It
might be hard to apply the title to the
David of later days it was plain David at
the time of his anointment was after
God's own heart The speaker said some
men's hearts were hard for God to gain.
"Although man was created to commune
with God, some men do not recognise thla
and God la unable to do with them what
He wished. But such by God's Inscrutable
love may still become Instruments of His
grace. Such men may be contrasted with
David.
"There Is a proof within man himself
which tells him he was made for God. God
does not cast us off He keeps us for His
purposes. The psalms of David reach all
human experience we find In them an ex
pression of all our own feelings and hopes.
Not that God found a perfect man; but hU
heart was true to God and ha mode God's
will In government his first consideration.
Ha carried God's kingdom through the
period of idolatry the time of danger.
Then he fell. He was not happy In his
sin; he died with a cry for mercy to his
God.
"Life Is tried and proven not by ex
pressions of devotion, not by errant and
wandering service, but by our daily
obedience. If God can get the word ful
filled in us He is well pleased. We have
ever His assurance of forgiveness the
wanderer from grace is taken back, for
despite our follies God finds us responsive
we fulfill His will, we have sorrow In our
sins such men God finds after Hla own
heart-

NOTHING DOING WITH JEFF
No Fights in Sight for CUmpien of th
Werld.
BIG FELL9W TALKS OF MUNROE FLUKE
i
Said He Warned "portlaa; World
Beforehand, Knowing Miner Waa
Xot on Square Jeltrles
oa the Stage.
"I have no plans for fights now, not even
a challenge nor hope of one," said James
J. Jeffries, the world's champion, at tha
Hcnshsw last night.
Mr. Jeffries Is In the city with his com
pany in "David Crockett," which begins
Tuesday night at the Boyd.
"I am under contract for the stage until
June," continued the big fellow, "but
there's nothing doing In the ring for me
Just now, anyway, for the simple reason
that there's no one to fight I have met
all the heavyweights with any claim on me
and If anybody wants a go at me he will
have to settle the matter first with some
of the other fellows and prove his right
for a fight with me. I don't believe the
public would take any Interest In a match
between Corbett or Flzslmmons and me,
for I have met each of them twice and
beat them."
Then, as if looking back Into the past,
the big fellow, with a faint smile upon his
broad face, remarked:
"Old Fltx was a great fighter. He was a
dangerous man to meet In the ring. I never
knew, ncr did anybody el.- who ever fought
him, what he was going to do. Most prize
fighters you can tell something about what
to expect, but not with Fit. He's like Han
nibal of old."
Jeffries is frank In his condemnation of
the Monroe fluke and of Mr. Monroe per
sonally. .
"But I warned 'em beforehand," said he.
somewhat animated. "I knew that fellow
was not on the square after that fizzle at
Butte and the way he went around blow
ing. He got It advertised all over the
country that he knocked me down, which
was a He, but he seemed to make It stick In
places and the public, of course, thought If
he could knock me down he must have
some fighting blood !n him. The New York
newspaper boys arranged the Ban Fran
cisco mill with Monroe. I was opposed to
going Into It and I protested, saving It
would not be on the level, for that man
Monroe waa no fighter and not on the
square. So I don't think I ought to be
blamed.
Monroe Never First-Class.
"Will Monroe ever be a first-class fighter?
No; he never will. I don't know who will
be the next man to show up, but It's cer
tain there Isn't any In sight Just now."
"How doea this stage business suit you?"
was asked Jeffries.
"Oh, very well. It's a pleasant diversion.
I enjoy It. I have got to be busy at some
thing. I'm the most nervous man In the
world. Idleness would kill me. I don't
believe I'd make a bum. If I haven't any
employment on hand I'll take my old dog
and gun and go out hunting. That's my
favorite pastime."
While Jeffries was chatting with & couple
of newspaper men a fasmonatrty dressed
stranger stepped up, put out his hand with
a broad smile on his blushing countenance,
and stammered:
"Excuse me, Mr. Jeffries, bat er er of
course you don't know me, but"
"Don't believe I do," quietly remarked
the champion, glancing through the corner
of one eye at the man.
"No; but er, you see, I don't know you
personally, but I have known you by repu
tation for these years and have been a
great admirer of you. It always haa been
my desire to shake your hand," and at that
the- big fellow t-fk the extended hand.
His face radiant tvlth smiles, the stranger
stood there for some minutes, protesting
his admiration for Jeffries, muoh to the
apparent discomfort of the champion and
monopolizing the conversation with alter
nating recitations of Jeffries' great battles
and dessertatlons upon his power as a
pugilist.
Presently the stranger left Jeffries and
the big fellow facetiously remarked, with
a disgusted smile on his face, "Glad I've
got one admirer."
NO SHORTAGE ON OVERLAND
I'nton Pacific Has Freight Cars
Enough to Meet Demands
of Shippers.
"The published report of the Union Pa
cific being so short of freight cars that it
could not meet the demands made upon
It, is incorrect," said an official in authority
on that road yesterday. "The story said
our road had been compelled to turn down
a shipment of 1,000,000 bushels of grain be
cause we had no cars to accommodate It.
This Is a mistake; we have turned down
no such shipment on that account. While
there Is Just now a general car shortage
among railroads with southern outlets, the
Union Pacific is not thus affected."
Honored by Millions.
The total admissions to the World's fair
were 19,000,000; of this number approxi
mately 3,000,000 were officers, exhibitors,
concessionaries and employes; 6,000,000 were
resldenta of St. Louis and 10,000,000 non
residents. Estimating that each nonresi
dent visited the fair at least four times, it
would appear that 2,500,000 people came to
St. Louis In the seven months and during
this same period more than 1,260.000 people
passed through tha Anheuser-Busch plant
Never before has an establishment been
honored by so. many visitors, and It Is safe
to say that at least one-half the people
who came to St. Louis availed themselves
of the opportunity to Inspect the greatest
plant of its kind in tho world.
1804 was the banner year In the history
of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Ass'n, Its
sales being 1,365,711 barrels of beer, show
ing an Increase of 163,949 barrels. The lat
ter as an annual output would exceed that
of the majority of the larger breweries of
this country. This phenomenal Increase is
the more remarkable, because the past
year, owing to tha long winter and abnor
mally cool summer, waa a decidedly off
year for the beer business. The total gain
of the beer output for the United States
for 19o4 was about 900,000 barrels, thus prov
ing Anheuser-Busch's Increase of 163,919
barrels to be about 20 per cent of that of
ail breweries combined. Such an exception
ally good showing can only be attributed
to the excellence of their products and the
courteous treatment of their patrons.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES
VandeTllle at the Crelarhtoa-Orphenm.
Mark Murphy and his good wife are on
the bill at the local Vaudeville theater for the
current week, and that Is a certain guar
anty that at least one act la worth while.
Their sketch la new In all respects, but it
offers to both a fine chance for showing
their ability and gives Murphy his chance
to be the genuinely funny Irishman he Is,
either on or off the stage. The Heltons,
father, mother and little daughter, mingle
a good deal of dancing with some Instru
mental music In a way that made a dis
tinct hit yesterday. The little girl is a
very clever Jig dancer and takes part also
In the musical performance. James H.
Cullen sings some of his parodies in his
own peculiar way, and was forced to beg
off at the matinee from further effort. The
crowd apparently couldn't get enough of
him. Ford and Wilson are a good black
face pair and Were an Immense hit and
the same can be said for Irene Franklin,
a charming little woman, who sings very
sweetly and looks very pretty while on
the stage. Mllo and Madison lift some
heavy weights and otherwise show wonder
ful strength. Captain Webb's trained sea
lions and seal are decidedly Interesting
from any point of view, and accomplish
some feats that seem marvelous. The kin
odrome has a picture, "The Moonshiners,"
that bids fair to become popular.
"Peggy from Paris' at the Boyd,
Two large audiences were present at the
Boyd theater yesterday afternoon and even
ing to listen to "Peggy from Paris." The
company Is practically the same that gave
this piece In Omaha last season, and Its
success was marked. The piece abounds
with bright lines and sharp satirical shots
at some American foibles, and Its beauties
are well brought out by the comedians.
Mark Sullivan Is the Grampus this time,
and with E. H.. Connor as Captain Plum
mer, Sherman Wade as Montague Fish
and Arthur Deagon as Reginald, he Is well
supported. Grace Belmont, as Peggy Plum
mer, looks the part and sings fairly well.
Eleanor Whitney Is delightful as Lutte
Plummer. and Joale Sadler Is the Inimitable
Sophie Blatz who haa made her tale of
sorrow and Henny popular In one continent
at least Alice Hageman still defies fate
by appearing In knickerbockers In the role
of Mrs. Fish, and Florence Wlllarde is
both sprightly and attractive as Lilly Ann
Lynch. The chorus Is up to the mark. Tho
engagement was for the one day only.
"Shadows of a Great City" at the
Kroa-.
' Two overflow . assemblages greeted the
matinee and evening performances of
"Shadows of a Great City" at the Krug
yesterday. The play Is the usual one. In
which the wronged daughter is found in
the streets, and her life made a miserable
existence for some years by a scheming
villain, only to have all righted In the end.
The hero suffers at the same time, but
comes Into his own eventually. The usual
characters are introduced, the only dif
ference being that not so many are en
gaged in this one. The company Is above
the average and the piece Is given with
decided snap and consequent effect. Some
good specialties are offered, Incidental to Its
progress. The piece will be repeated this
evening.

Principal is a Lineal Descendant of
the Prophet and Ills Life Is Con
Idered Saered, and He Is
Spared.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 8 Information has
reached the State department that, com
plying with the insistent demands of the
Cnlted States the Persian government has
made to the widow partial reparation for
the murder of the Rev. Benjamin W. Laba
ree, an American missionary, by a gang
of fanatics, and has promised that all the
guilty persons involved In the crime will
be punished. The following statement re
garding the case was made by an official
of the State department tonight:
On March 13 Inst the Department of State
received telegraphic Intelligence of the
murder of Rev. Benjamin W. iJibaree, an
American missionary, near Ouroumia, in
Pirsia, by a gang of fanatic Kurds.
A demand was made immediately for the
arrest and trial of the murderers, whose
leader, Styd Mir Ghafar, 'was looked "Pn
as a lineal descendant of the prophet. This
circumstance and the fear of arousing re
ligious disturbances obviously interfered
with a prompt and sufficient action on the
part of the local authorities. The most
earnest representations of the American
legation at TeherHn remained fruitless un
til October 12. when Mr. Hay instructed
Its minister by cable to make known to the
government of the shah, the president's
concern for the adequate punishment of all
the criminals and his Intention to lay the
matter before congress, with appropriate
recommendations. If compliance with his
demands for full Justice were further de
layed. The murderers were thereupon ar
rested, but the Persian government, hold
ing the life of a descendant of the prophet
sacred, offered a pecuniary Indemnity In
lieu of the death penalty for Mir Ghafar
and promised execution of the accomplices.
After consultation with the widow of the
Rev. Mr. Laharee, the offer was accepted
and an Indemnity of $30,000 greatly In ex
cess of the sum named by the widow
was paid to the American legation on
January 3. Solemn assurance was given
that all the guilty would receive effective
nnd swift punlahimnt and that no special
tax would be levied on Christians In the
province to recover the amount of the In
demnity. The president has complimented United
States Minister Thompson at Teheran for
the energetic and efficient manner In which
he has managed the case there.
