TITE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JANUARY 0. lOn.T. SERMGN BY DR. M'GRECOR Kw Partor of Tenth Street Methodist Chirch Oiret Airiee to Yonng Men. 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- All lot owners of the Prospect Hill Ceme tery association In good standing are en titled to vote at the annual meeting, which will be held at the offlca of the secretary, room 38.

A very pleasant affair waa the dancing party last night of William McKlnley lodge No. 521, Independent Order of B'nal B rllh. About 160 couples gathered on the floor at Metropolitan hall and danced through a program of eighteen numbers, alternating waltzes and two steps. The march, which oprned the ball.

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. Announcements of tha Theaters. Tommy Gets, who will stage "Toodles In Posterland" for the Omaha Press club's an nual entertainment at Boyd's theater, ar rived in the city Saturday night and Is located at the Murray. Mr. Gets expects to have over loO local amateurs in the cast and he says It will be the biggest local show ever attempted. The book and lyrics are by Mr. Gets and Mlas Pauline Btnrges of this city hue written tho twenty-two musical numbers.

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. ST. PAUL MEN GOING WEST Delegation to Live Stock Convention Stops Off for Visit In Omaha.

ACCOMPLICES WILL BE EXECUTED 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.
